HANNEMANN -p-VERY AMERICAN CITIZEN, mindful of his own best interests, will not yield to the present temper of postponed buying. He will be economical and thrifty, but will keep on investing in seasonable or staple goods that are necessary or desirable in the daily enjoyment of life and living. Prices on Wearing Apparel, Shoes, etc., have now reached a point below which they will not drop unless disaster actually overtakes the country. The man who buys now not only favors his own purse, but puts much needed money in circulation. He helps to revive trade and puts an end to the mounting unemployed. Man’s common judgment tells him that uninterrupted business depends upon his continued buying, that his ability to buy depends upon his continued employment and that employment depends upon normal business. Mind you, this is not!a plea for a return to wild extravagance; on the con­ trary, it is an argument against extreme retrenchment and for the mainten­ ance of a normal buying policy.

Experts in the business world as­ sure us that the worst Is over, and that 1921 will see a strong revival of business and a steady forward march to continued prosperity. That sounds good, and it will be even better when it materializes. The annual rose tournament at Pasadena, California, brought out the largest crowd this year In the history of the tournament, the foot­ ball game between Ohio and Cali­ fornia teams being a big added at­ traction. The crowd was estimated at half a million people. Long Beach alone sent about 20,000 people. PROSPERITY AHEAD. There is much comfort to be had from the statement recently of Judge Elbert H. Gary, head of the United States Steel corporation, the greatest business concern the world has ever produced. Judge Gary says a long period of wonderful prosperity is just ahead of the people of the United States. When Judge Gary opens hls mouth be is in the habit of saying something, and he never says a thing unless he knows what he is talking about. He has been a wise prophet in the past, because he possesses the ability to read conditions and possibilities as they are. There is no reason why his proph­ esy should not be one of wisdom in this case, because there is no reason why we should not prosper and every reason why we should. And who wants to be a pessimist when ever human Instinct spurs us on to optimism? ' Let’s demonstrate our faith in the return of prosperity by recognizing the fact that It is here and by doing our share towards Its maintenance In this community. Let the watchword be production, wisdom in spending, and the empwyment of a systematic course of sav­ ing. A proportionate amount of the prosperity-of the country belongs to the people of this community. WATSON TO THE RESCUE., Thomas E. Watson, the new Unit­ ed States senator from Georgia, is to introduce a bill In the senate making liberty bonds legal tender. This would put them on a par with the national currency and restore them to at least par value. If the government ever hopes sell another bond tn this country in time of emergency It will do well to protect the bondholders now. It requires simply an act of con­ gress to make every one of these bonds legal tender. That would re­ quire every person to accept them in payment of obligations just the same as currency. They would possess an added ad­ vantage over currency in that they would be drawing interest where cur­ rency does not. • They would become a possession of value even to the small investor, whereas now they are but a despised and depreciating drug in the market.

She had re­ ceived by that time thorough training which enabled her to earn a fair In­ come ns a pen and ink artist John Gaines bad squandered all of the means of his wife. He dominated her by Inspiring terror. It was when he hnd tried to influence her to bring a suit based on forgery and fraud, which he had conceived against the estate of an uncle and which would rob three motherless children of their all. that she bad rebelled. Determined to forever escape the villainies of the husband she hnd learned to abhor, Mrs. Gaines, hnd sought out /lice for shelter and sympathy. The true, brave-hearted girl hnd not wavered as to the sacrifices of duty and love. She planned a safe course for her relative and gave up. her position, and even tlie man she loved, to devote all her energies, toward protecting the person who bad done so much for her. They had stolen away together to another city nnd hnd found a refuge In n small suite of rooms In an ob­ scure building. Alice secured work she could do at home and Mrs. Gaines took in occasional sewing to make ends meet. Peace and certain degree of happiness came In time to the for­ lorn wife, while Allee experienced the' pleasures of duties nobly met nnd exe­ cuted. “Look! M*e I oh. Alice, the shadow,” cried Mrs. Gaines, staring out of the window and across a narrow court.

The proflie was perfectly distinct. “It is he,’ panted the affrighted Mra. .Gaines. I__ “Oh. there can be no mistake. Only jesterday I fancied I saw him on the street.

It Is he—my husband.” "Oh, It cannot be." replied Alice. “How should he trace you here, and why Rhould he?" “To attempt to make me an instru­ ment tb hls crimes.

We must fly to the furthest ends of the earth if need be. but we two must never meet again face to face." Alice was now persuaded that Mra. Gaines was suffering under no de­ lusion^ She acted promptly and ener­ getically. They diligently occupied themselves,packing their belongings in two suitcases, stole from the house like guilty fugitives by a rear exit, sectired a taxi and within a few hours were sequestered in a new home it a remote portion of the great me­ tropolis. Tlie old fear hnd returned to the nerve-racked Mrs. Gaines, and Alice rarely left the neighborhood except when deeply veiled, or after dusk.

Mr. Burgomaster, you go on and peddle your papers and let me write the Fool Column, this week. I will say first. “It's but a step from tho-sublime to the ridiculous"’, and while i love the sublime. I adore the ridiculous; and second, .that it is the least of my troubles to write a song. 1 was with a dramatic company not many years ago. We were barn­ storming over the “Boo Line’", play­ ing two night stands. I was doing the vaudeville stunts, and the last night I wrote and sang a song about the town we were playing in. I'll say there is no advt. that will draw like a local song. We had been from the. Michigan Soo to the Wis­ consin line and I was next to all the news, especially the sensational kind. We played in a Wisconsin border town and there chanced to be a Soo line official In the audience. Af­ ter the play I. met him at “Patsy's Place” where we played a few gauns of cribbage. He said he had heard my song and asked mo to write a song boosting the Soo railroad. I told him if he would pass me to Alaska the song would, be forthcoming. “Well’’ he said. “Write a good one and I will pass you to Nome." When I arrived at the hotel I thought “No time like the present; the Canary wine I’ve been drinking ought to help me to sing.” 1 sat down at the desk and while the night clerk snoozed I wrote the following limerick: Come All .Yea Along the Soo Line. (By M. D. Smith.) An Indian up at the Soo To show what he could do; He shot the chutes In long rubber boots. And his soul went up the flue. SCHOOL NOTES.

Thrift seeks not merely to save, but to earn, with a view to wholesome and profitable ex­ penditure at a fitting time. Thrift teaches a man to earn that he may save wisely and be in a position to spend advantageously in the time of need or opportunity.

Last year $7,228 was paid out by the coun­ ty for this purpose. The applications In the past few weeks have been unusaliy numerous. Careful investigation has to be macle in each case, that the facts stated in the applications are true; that the mother lx unable herself to work or provide sufficient support. The home environment and condition must be such that It Is deemed wiser to leave the children there, rather than send them to a stato institution. , At present there are thirty moth­ ers receiving pensions from Barry county, ranging from one to ten dol­ lars weekly. Three dollars a week is the extent of the sum allowed for a child.

This is the ^season when we are catching colds and a largo propor­ tion of them are caught in the nape of the neck. This is the most'sensi­ tive part of the body. Here we can be easily knocked out by a blow of the fist or a blow of tho wind. The spinal cord, the trunk line of the human system, here runs thru the narrow isthmus connecting the head and the body, and comes to the sur­ face in the back. Here are located the ganglia of the brain that control the automatic adjustments of the body, especially its thermal regula­ tion. A cold breeze blowing right on this spot may give us a cold that lasts thru the winter. We might stand strlpt before a wide open win­ dow with-less danger than let a draft from a crack play on the nape of the neck. For physiology differs from finance in that small drafts arc more to be dreaded than large ones. Now nature has provided an extra protection for this vulnerable place. The hair when allowed to grow falls back over the neck forming a wind shelter for the'medula oblongata. But nowadays women pile up the hair on top of the head where It Is not needed while men clip close and even shave the nape of the neek. They could hardly do anything more silly. The arms and legs can stand the cold. The face may be bared with Impuni­ ty. The ihest and throat may be exposed to the weather as our ladies are now demonstrating. But the nape of the neck needs all the cover It can get. If the savage has but one strip of cloth or a scanty skin to protect him against the cold he spreads It out to cover his back bone. Animals have manes on the ridge of the neck. But man deliber­ ately deprives himself of the protec­ tion of his back hair and so gets blistered by the sun and chilled *by the wind.—The Independent.

NASHVILLE PEOPLE PREVENT APPENDICITIS Ouricwn Yeah, Kent Nelson went fishing. Kent is a good fisherman, too, and he brought home a nice mess of fish. "Which is more than we can say for a lot of the fellows who have chopped holes In the ice this lovely winter. Well, Kent cleaned the fish. and Dora put them in a. pan and set them up on a shelf out In the garage where they would keep nice and cold until they got ready to cook them. Then Kent got to fussing around and left the garage door open. Or Dora got to fussing around and left the garage door open. Depends upon which one of them you hear tell it. Anyway, Dora heard a racket out in the garage which didn’t sound like Kent trying to breathe the breath of life Into the Ford, and she went out to investigate. It wasn’t Kent. It was a cat, and cats are notoriously fond of flah. The pan was on the floor, and some remnants of the fish, but most of them had disappeared end the rotund equator of the feline plainly located them. And since that episode there has been more friction than fish in the Nelson domidle. ■Wilbur Sutton says there are oth­ er books that contain more poetry and romance and thrills, but for sol­ id satisfaction nothing equals a bank book.

P. Lovett a member of Che Wayne county committee. Meeting some of the objections of­ fered. Mr. Lovett says that al least five steps must be taken to get results in this program. The letter follows: Detroit, Michigan. To the Honorable, tho Board of Supervisors of Ottawa County, Michigan. Gen U emen: — A* Secretary Wayne County Committee on organization of County Government, and as a member of the State Com­ mittee which ha* been studying this problem. - 1 venture to address you in the hope that possibly misunderstand­ ing of the proposal for a constitution­ al amendment which soon will be submitted to the Legislature, may be avoided. As the proposal has been discussed In Detroit and Wayne County thus far. it has been a question, not of a commission plan of government alone, but of home rule (or Michigan coun­ ties. Our Wayne County Committee Is frankly seeking through constitu­ tional amendment and legislative en­ actment to improve onr system of gov­ ernment. but we cannot proceed with­ out co-operation from the other coun­ ties of the state. We understand that there is now a general demand by taxpayers for Im­ proved methods of government Id the interests of economy and efficiency. Many improvements have been made in cities tn recent years. In the Judg­ ment of soine authorities, it will be necessary Immediately to make changes in our national methods of doing business. Governor Groesbeck has recommended to the Michigan Legislature that measures be passed in the interest of co-ordinating nu­ merous departments of our State gov­ ernment The fundamental objective in this movement is the saving of vast sums of money to the taxpayers. In this same connection, I believe the strongest argument for improvement of county government is that the present system, or lack of system, eliminates centralized responsibility, inevitably offers opportunity for finan­ ce! leakages, and -generally tends to promote substantal and unnecessary wastes of money in administration. It appears now that no substantial improvement can be made Without amendment of the State constitution. Both practically and legally this view is favored by lawyers and public ofcials m various parts of the State. Al least five steps must precede any final action in a given county, ev­ eryone of which is based on the prin­ ciple of free representative govern­ ment and full popular control. These steps are: First. Asking the legislature to study the question and perntft the people of the state to vo^ upon a simple, broad constitutional amend­ ment which shall be prepared in final form by officials of the slate at Lans­ ing-and not by any citizens’ commitSecond. Submission of this ques­ tion to vote of the people of the state giving everybody an opportunity to know the facts. Third. No such constitutional amendment can become effective without a law or laws passed by tho legislature, which has full power to decide the form or forms of county government which may be made op. tlonai in Michigan. This third step absolutely assures U> the people rep­ resented in the legislature that eo action shall be taken except such as may be approved by the ma­ jority. Thereafter .any county which de­ sires to improve Its situation may take th® fourth step and either through it* supervisors or through �turn.

Her face had come close to the win­ dow. He could see her eyes—like star spots In the dark—big with stnrtlement, for they had caught sight of his tattered blouse: the dried blood on him. and clotted In his hair. With a cry, her hands went to his face. "Why, your betid is bleeding! And your face!" “Scratches! Nothing but scratches!" he hastily reassured In tones that cau­ tion held low; pained at her distress; pleased, too; his eyes alight “But this one on your liend! It’s a t cut—deep—and still bleeding." Her voice was steadier. “You pust let me bind up this one." He glanced toward Fallen Rock. “We dn’sn’t risk a light." he said, “For your sake we dn’sn’t The night has eyes. And they’ll comb these woods tomorrow.^ She shrank hack Into the room. Be drew half a step nearer, laid his arm on the ledge and stood fumbling the casement, lost In thought. “And yet I’ve that to do that must have light." he mused, more to him­ self than to her. raising his head after n time and glancing toward the dim outline Inside the window. “Is there a blind on your window that would hide n candleT "Why—yes—" she answered, puz­ zled and slow. It was a long time before he spoke again. Had She light served, she might have seen In his eyes the struggle he was gnlng through. He rubbed his drawn lips together to loosen them. “Will you trust me In your room?" The girl started. Her hands clutched each other. She knew It. was not to have hla wounds dressed that he asked. Short as her acquaintance with him had been, she knew It was not that. It was no light reason that had driven him to ask such a privi­ lege. It gripped her. shook her. but strangely enough did not frighten her. •Til trust you." Not often In a man’s life does he hear such gracious words. Nature is not lavish of such gifts. The shoul­ ders of the Pearlhunter lifted. The droop left his head. “May I come now? The night Is go­ ing. The moon will be up In another two hours." She s'oofl fartherback In tU> gloom. Rp slipped lightly In over the will. “Please draw the blind before you light the candle.” he directed. He saw her arm reach up along the casement. The ‘blind came down, within touching distance of each other they stood in pitch darkness: a man and a woman—alone—wrapped in the silent secrecy of the deep woods. He beard her quick breath. His heart brat up Into his throat. Her gar­ ni wits .brushed against him. He heard her slippered feet feeling their way across the floor. There came the guarded scrape of a match. A sputtering, tardy flame was laid to the wick of a candle on a small stand hi the corner under a mir­ ror. The wick caught; smoldered; flared to full strength. The wonder of her hair and throat and arms sprang out of the night. She laid the burnt match upon the candlestick and turned. A gasp broke from her at the sight of him—tattered, hatless; bruised and bloody. “Forgive me that I come before you like—this," he stammered. An Impulsive step brought her to his side. “Forgive me!” she repeated, her voire still a-qulver; her face pity-ten­ dered. “You must let me dress your hurts." He shaded the candle with his body while she raised the curtain over the door and slipped out to the kitchen. She was back before he could have believed It, carrying a basin of cold water and some strips of muslin, all of which she had managed to get to­ gether In the deep dark. Drawing a chair near the candle, she made him sit down—a quite obvi­ ous necessity, if she was to reach hip bend.

He picked up the pen, awkwardly—a flab spear, an oar. or a six-gun fitted his hand better—dipped It In the Ink; laid the draft upon the stand; squared himself; and after no small pains suc­ ceeded In writing the word “Pearlhunt­ er" serosa the back. It was quite evi­ dently a relief when the unaccustomed task was over. He laid the pen down as If jdad to be quit of It and handed the draft to the girl. “It means that I have flvq thousand dollars in the bank." he said, "and anyl>ody that takes this draft there with my’’—he hesitated—“name across the hack can get the money.

"I’m askin’ you to keep it," he said. ’’And if anything should happen to me, I’m askin’ you to keep the mon­ ey; loo.” The girl caught his tattered sleeve. “No!

Several minutes the man spared to its Inspection: testing the action of -the hammer, cylinder revolution and trigger pull; replacing the somewhat corroded caps on the tubes with new ones; even packing fresh grains of“ powder into the tubes where thought necessary. “Do you know how it use it?” _ asked, looking up from his inspection. "I’ve shot lots of squirrels with it, sometimes clear In the treetops,*’ she answered. “And once I kiiled a hawk that pestered the chickens." A grin puckered bls eyes for a mo­ ment, then his brows lowered. An­ other question, a hard one, had to be asked, that set him-raking over his slim stock of words for ways to ask 1L “Do girls—I mean—have you got any place about you your dress—to car­ ry it?" She was looking at him, her eyes frank and wide—eyes that had no need to narrow. “I haven't,” she answered; “but I can make one." "I advise you to." He laid the revolver on the stand and turned back to her. The time had come to go, and they both knew it. For a while they stood silent. Once his hand reached toward her, but he drew It back. “Will you be ready to raise the blind when I blow out the candle?” he said at last. She went to the window and the next moment the room was In dark­ ness. , Two fluttering spots of white In the ' gloom roiled up the blind, found the strings that held it and whipped them Into a knot. Then the girl stepped back. The man crawled through the window—with extreme care not to acar the ground outsider It Is past all knowing bow her hands happened to get into his.

She saw nt a flash what had escajHMl the wits of the whole village. “You mean the—the—timber buyer,’’, she said. “I mean the timber buyer," he an­ swered. with a quick look at her. I “His eyes see everything. You must destroy these blnody rags, and you must rake the yard in the morning.

Mr. Edsel B. Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company, gives out the following state­ ment: “The price of the FORDSON Tractor has been reduced from $790.00 to $625.00, effective immediately. “This price change has been made possible through lower costs of materials and the fact that we are now located in our new Tractor Plant with greatly increased economic manu­ facturing facilities in immediate connection with our foundry and machine shops and large blast furnaces where iron is poured directly from the ore, giving us maximum efficiency with the power to reduce cost of production, and down comes the price in line with our policy to market our products at the lowest possible figure without in any way affecting our high standard of quality. “We are particularly pleased in being able to bring about this big reduction in price at this time because the farmer needs all the help we can give him, and this big cut in price will be the means of placing a valuable power unit within the reach of practically everyone of them not to mention industrial and commercial concerns which likewise have benefited through its usd and are already realizing, to a much greater extent, its value as a power and hauling unit But particularly has the FORDSON Tractor proved a most valuable factor in the sav­ ing of farm labor, and at the same time increasing the per acre crop yield as well as making possible a utilization of previously uncultivated land, to say nothing of removing no end of drudgery. “There is no question that the use of machine .power on the farm is the greatest advance­ ment made in the development of agriculture, not only in money saving and money making results, as well as raising the standards of living on the farm to a much higher level, but because of its proved value in making every type of land more productive, and consequently our desire to place the FORDSON within the reach of all. “There is no change in the present Ford Car and Truck prices, which are already at the lowest possible figure, and now with rock bottom reached on the tractor price, a further reduction in price of either the Car, Truck or Tractor is out of the question; in fact, the big price cuts have been made in anticipation of continuous maximum production, and increases may be necessary before long if a large volume of new business is not obtained. Kill That Cold With Therefore, present prices of Ford products cannot tie guaranteed against pos­ sible increases. ” Ask for the book, “The Fordson at Work,” which will be supplied free of cost CASCARA C.U., C..(k> QUININE Let us demonstrate the value of the Fordson on your farm, in yohr factory, lumber yard, coal yard, or in any general hauling or power work you have to do and let ub have your order for a Fordson .

The Eaton County War Prepared­ ness Board, which raised and has charge of the Eaton county war funds, has about $40,000 on hand in the various banks of Eaton county. There has been it .lot of discussion and some squabbling over the dis­ posal of this fund. Now an appli­ cation has been made through, the circuit court in chancery to have the fund turned over to a trustee to be held and used as a trust fund for the soldiers and sailors of the late war, and their dependents. The Barry County Loyalty League has nearly $10,v00 on band, and the board of directors has not yet decided what disposition to make of It. When the fund was raised, the League pledged itself to return any residue to the members of the League, who had k’ept their pledges in full, the sum to be returned pro rata. It seems to us that it is high time this is done. The money is do­ ing nobody any good except the banks. It should be checked back to the people to whom It belongs for ‘ disposal as they see fit.

Stood Looking Long Upon IL stood looking long upon it He laid it to his lips, again and again, aa if he would drink up the beautiful face from the card. He pressed the picture to his bosom; held it again to the candle and whispered to it in tones that did not carry to the ear of the amazed listener. He strode up and down the room; and there was on his face a look that no man bad probably ever seen there before, and probably would never see again. After long motnents he roused him­ self, unbuttoned his vest, and put the picture carefully away In an inner pocket. The watcher outside the wall winced: his lipa drew together in a tense line. But there was much to be seen just then. Tbe man inside had risen, crossed the floor, put the things back in the trunk, ckwed the lid and picked up his hat Next moment the candle was blown out Tbe Pearihunter barely had time to creep into the opened and softly closed.

Mar­ tar»*lv long enough to shake his coat veling at the, small amount of water by rhe In pelf and to knock his hat that had clung to. him, he sprang over the two Intervening rocks to the shore. He hurried around to the front of the cabin, raised the latch, entered and closed the door. Snatching up some cold biscuits and strips of fried bacon, he hurriedly made six sand­ wiches and stuffed them into hls pock­ ets. Resting nt the spring long enough to ent two of bls sandwiches, he drained a gourd of water, crossed the branch below the fulls and hurried away up the bluffs Into tbe deep woods. . A mile and more north of the wa­ terfall, Wolf Run bends west to dou­ ble nnd twist and loop through a tan­ gle of hills and gulches known os Fox Den, the wildest and most Inaccessi­ ble district of the Flatwoods. Tbe Penrlhunter hud heard of the place. He resolved to take hls chances there. The spot was no great distance above the thnee-gabled cabin. ’ Away up the bare front of a cliff hls eye lighted on the qwuth of what ap­ peared to be a cleft in the rock. Wolf Run washed against n narrow ledge at the very foot of this cliff. He spread himself flat against the face of the rock and strained from crevice to crev­ ice. It was a prodigious task, but All tasks have an end—either at the bot­ tom or at the top. The Pearihunter's task finally ended at the top. It had to.

But even before hr saw the one. or heard the other, he felt something llkt- i> r<-d coni sting his side just under the armpit. Hls side! A thousand flames hn<l got at it. Something warm and sticky ran down under hls tattered shirt nnd made it mutiny. The flames rene»‘«*’ hls face and twisted it. The air Deemed to forsake the pocket. He crawled to the front of the scar. He couldn’t take hls eyes away from the water glancing along at the Mot of the cliff. The flames had scorched him dry. If he could only have one sup of the water to moisten hls lips so that the breath Auld get through. He crawled a little nearer the open­ ing; held his face out over the ledge. - The ledge seemed to be rocking up and down; the trees were dipping nnd going around in a queer whirl that mnde him dizzy. He had never known trees to act like that The tops of the gorge were bending together. The gorge came together—slowly—shut out the air—shut out the sky. CHAPTER XI. Only the Hunted Know. For a long time the Penrlhunter lay wondering why the gorge didn’t fall In. While he lay and wondered, an other stmnge thing happened—the very strangest of ail. The top of the gorge began to open —opened and let In two little patches of sky. He kept his eyes on them— two little spots of blue set between clouds of pink and gold. The gorge top opened- wider. He came back to the two patches of sky; smiled oddly —they had transfigured; hud become the eyes of the Wild Rose. The shooting had thought her. Her arm was under his head, and she was saying something. A tinge of crimson deepened the pink In her cheeks when his eyes came open. What If he had heard! But she met his eyes with frank directness. He lay looking up at her a long time; trying to compre­ hend it all; the wonder of it!—that she was there! She helped him edge a little ndarer the brink of the ledge, raised him, and he drank out of her cupped palm. Whether it was the cup he drank from, or the thirst that parched him, he took no thought, but It was the sweetest drink that ever passed his lips. She eased him back upon the ledge, her arm still under his head. A strand of her hair fell upon his face. She tried to shake it off. He put up his hand and covered it Her eyes dropped to his wounded side. “I didn’t know he was the Red Mask,’’ she said, as If In pursuance of his first remark, “till those men came this morning."’ Her next words were low and thought­ ful. "I’ve wondered If It could have been he that hurt Daddy?" "It was him." Tbe girl’s breath quickened. He saw ’ her fingers clench. ' But there was much to do. Her eyes turned again to his blood-stained gar­ ments, and she set about uncovering the wounded side. There was little enough to remove—a shred or two of tattered shirt; a laying back of the torn blouse. After the first start at sight of the wound she became curlously thoughtful. The color mounted to her face; he tried to meet her eyes, but they turned away. "Can you spare me for a minute?*’ For answer he lifted his head. She took away her arm, eased him back upon the rock, and he heard her light step as she sprang around an angle of the cliff. She was gone barely more than the minute asked for. When she returned she was carrying In her hands a num­ ber of strips—bandages—of white cloth. Where she got them—well, that’s her secret The bullet had cut a deep, ragged gash just below the armpit. It had grazed a rib, but seemingly had not broken It. . With that encouraging fact established, and the sting of the wound much allayed, the mind of the man began reaching forward to the night; the all-important night—when a certain suave individual In a frock coat would come to feed a certain horse. He said no word of this to the girl already binding the bandages around tbe clean-washed wound. She would have scouted the bare sugges­ tion of the things he was planning to do the moment the dark was sufficient­ ly dense to hide him. She drew what was left of his tat­ tered shirt and blouse over the ban­ dage at last, laid his wounded arm across his breast and slung It there by a strip of cloth passed up around hls neck, and helped him to hls feet It shamed him that he was abso­ lutely compelled to cling fast to her. to lean heavy upon her, or go back to the rock. Hls face was far too white Jo show the mortification be felt, but ft ‘In bis eyes. ’ Lifting ahe saw I* --------------- bls well armi and laying it across her shoulders,, tfhe caught her left arm about hlsi blouse waist and steadied him. The Wild Rose seemed to have tak­ en toll of every bit of sunshine that ever struck the Flatwoods. That was the distinguishing feature of her per­ sonality. That and her good, sound to drag up with them. Indicated only both right now—the sunshine and With « final nod all around, they faced the pocket, and one of them raised bls rifle. Th? bullet struck th? head—but he knew. Tbe smile trees. He could uo more, help it than hr could help leaning upon her. She laughed—a heartening little laugh- ilk? the happy wirier mrltag arah the ledge. He. laughed ’hack. ' couldn't help it The restraint u broken: the smart gone. He glanced down at the ledge beforw leaving to ace that no 7e!l-:ale blood spots or bits of doth were left. A needless precaution—iter woodcraft ? wns as fine ns hls own. How she managed to lend him. half carry- him, out of the rocky and brok­ en gulches of Fox Den and down tho rough banks of Wolf Run to the cabin of the three gables she never knew. Neither did he. it always remained a matter of wonder to him. Who does know the source of power—that mys­ terious augmentation of strength—that comes to a woman In a crisis? ’ She led him Into the bouse and to the sofa In tho main room: the queer little leather-covered bed that had stirred hls curiosity the afternoon o£ hls first visit two days before. The old man was not In the room. She must have caught hls eyes search­ ing for him. . “Daddy?" she answered to the eyes. “He often spends hours away. There’ll be little pass In the woods today that * he won't see. though nobody will see him. Poor Daddy!" s “Well send for that surgeon tomor­ row,” he said. She wns hack In a moment, carrying s pan nf water.-fresh bandages, and a formidable-looking brown bottle—cam­ phor. the universal first aid In the Flatwoods. The blood-soaked ban­ dages were deftly removed and tha wound re-washed. She picked up the brown bottle. “I am sorry to hurt you.7 she said. “But It will keep the fever down." "You’re the doctor,” was hls slow answer. She uncorked the bottle and applied some of Its contents to the wound with a bit of cotton. Hurt!

S. 85—CHARLOTTE 15. The basket ball game Friday even­ ing between the Charlotte and Nash­ ville high school boys’ teams was the fastest ever played on the local floor, and the result was both a surprise and a delight to the local fans. In view of their easy victory of two weeks ago, the Charlotte boys were over-confident and started the game with a team of second-string men. The locals had practiced diligently and showed a remarkable improve­ ment in both their offensive and de­ fensive work, and a few minutes of play sufficed to give them a big lead. The Charlotte coach hurried out his heavy regulars, but even they were < unable to stop the attack, and the first halt ended with the score stand- The second half .was but a repe­ tition of the first session, Nashville scoring 14 points to their opponents 7. Townsend starred for Nashville, scoring most of the points from field on long and difficult throws.

The dramatic club will go to Belle­ vue with “Sea Drift” on Friday eve­ ning of next week. Adam Brown, whe has lived for many years on his fine farm about a mile southeast of.the village, died Wednesday night, the primary cause of his demise being blood poisoning. He was one of the oldest pioneers of this section and has been a unique figure on our streets for many years. A. J.

He made an experimental model out of cast iron, which was tested on Main street Tuesday afternoon, and work­ ed surprisingly well. Feighner & Weber have dissolved partnership in the bicycle business, which will be continued by Al. H. Weber. He has opened a store in the Powers building, first door north of the postoffice, and the business will be in charge of his father, John Weber. Downing Bros. & Co. are manu­ facturing and shipping large quanti­ ties of their Mapleine sugar and syrup, and are working night and day to fill their orders. They have been having a little trouble with State Food Commissioner Storrs, who wants them to label their pro­ duct “cane sugar,” but as they don’t sell it for pure, maple sugar, and the formula from which it is made is printed plainly on every package they sell, they refuse to comply with his demand, and are unquestionably right in so doing. Shirley W.

A little patience and you may yet come oub whole on the deal. Some people are Inclined to be very critical of our public officials, but it doesn’t always -produce the best results. Men are men the world over, and they are Inclined to exhib­ it a stubborn streak when some other fellow takes it Into his head to ad­ minister a kick. A quiet talk face to face Is readily understood by-both parties, and if there is any differences of opinion there Is an opportunity to come to an amicable understanding. When we see anything in Nashville that isn’t just as it should be It is our right as citizens to point it out to our officials, but the officials have an equal right to expect that we will talk to them instead of about them. It is the better way. Country people who go in the big cities are amazed at the shortness of women’s dresses. Many seem to con­ sider it Indelicate, even vulgar. In reality, however, thorfe short dresses are exceeding sanitary, vastly more so that the long sweeping ones our mothers used to wear. It is the state of the mind and not the length of a dress that breeds indelicacy and vul­ garity. The human race would be in much better condition If the dresses of our women were even shorter than they .now are. Freedom of move­ ment means better health and great­ er strength and vitality, and without these humanity would soon cease to be.

The owner of a car spends most of his time in his machine—that is, his spare time—and while be is thus skimming over the country he is depriving bis body of that exerclie which the law of human nature de­ mands. The car. is a modern neces­ sity, and’ everyone who can afford it should own one, but not at the expense of health. Take your dally exercise before you take your drive. You will be able to live longer and drive oftener. If you feed an engine too rich a mixture of gas it will soon choke it and stop it. It needs more air. If you surfeit the brain continually with heavy reading it will become dull and clogged for lack of relaxation. It needs a change. A little clean fic­ tion mixed .ii with the heavy litera­ ture will produce a keener mind and a quicker brain and a stronger men-; tallty. This is worth keeping in mind when bringing up children. After the war Canada placed many thousands of her returned soldiers on new farms and furnished them the financial assistance necessary to get a start.

The girl sprang to his side, her eyes I fallowed lite motion of his hand, and _ ing up tbe path—the man both dread- still glaring back toward the window. •But not there! The kitchenr “No, my room. It s safest." She pushed him behind the curtains. “But If he comes in?" . “He won't!" He caught ■ glimpse of her—white, hard as the face of the hills, and the blue In her eyes like bright steel touched with flame. A quick glance at the tiny silt be­ tween the curtains behind which she knew the Pearlhunter was standing, a very positive and vigorous shake of her finger that Raid plainer than words to stay there; and she rose and walked with a firm step to the door. A nar­ row inch she opened It and with her left, hand held If so, with her right shoulder propped against It In such n way that her right side nnd arm were concealed. The man on the outside of the door drew back a step. and. with a sweep­ ing bow—too sweeping, even for the Flatwoods—hia hat came off and his handsome face put on Its most affable smile. “And how Is my wood fairy this aft­ ernoon?" The girl made no reply. Her face, framed In the narrow opening, changed not s shade. Nothing so disconcerts a man as to >mve his advances met with silence. Some of the lines nnd wrinkles that did duty for the arnlle left the bold face of the renegade. “It was so very lonesome In the vil­ lage. with the men all hunting that desperado, that I thought I’d walk out and spend the afternoon with you, and talk over with you some very charm­ ing plnns I have formed. You have what I believe to be a wonderful vo’ce. While, to my great regret, you have never sung for me. yet. ns I have passed back and forth through the woods in my business of looking up timber options. I have sometimes heard you sing. You undoubtedly hhve a great voice. Now, I am rich, with no one to spend my money on. What better could I do with it than give to the world a great singer? If you will go with me, you shall have the best training the world affords.” He put one foot up on the door-step, his face beaming—If such a face can beam. The Pearlhunter stiffened In his place behind the curtain. The girl never changed a hair’s breadth In the narrow opening between the cheek of the door and the jamb. Her cold si­ lence was apparently too much even for the bold man that faced her. “Aren’t you going tq.Invite me In?" “My father Is awny this afternoon. I can not Invite you In.” It was tho first word she had spok­ en—a won! cold and hanl enough; but the brazen Intruder seemed to take encouragement from It. “Then permit me to Invite myself." He advanced a.st ep. laid his hand to the door, pushed lightly. The narrow silt between cheek and Jamb widened not a hair. The passions of a Prussian noble were behind that face outside. They began to break through Its thin ve­ neer of politeness. He put his hat back on, but still kept his hind on the door. “I might choose to come In?* The girl made no answer; neither did she suffer the door to yield. The last vestige of the smile left the man’s face. “I might demand to come In"—some­ thing close kin to a snarl slipped Into his voice—“to search this cabin for that notorious desperado, the Red Mask, the murderer of Louie Solo­ mon." “The Red Mask Is not In this cab­ in." The answer came slowly, and there was a peculiar emphasis upon the word “in," doubtless unconscious. To the listener behind the curtains. It was as if she had said: “Not In the cabin. Just In front of IL" The pressure on the door Increased. The Pearlhunter saw the girl brace her body against It. The door began to give a tiny mite at first—an inch— He could stand It no longer. He was in the very act of sweeping the curtains aside when the girl’s right arm, the one hid behind the door, dropped to her side. Her hand went Into the folds of her dress. When It came out It held the revolver he had cleaned and put In order the night be­ fore. She corked the weapon and leaped back. Tbe door flew open. The man on the step barely saved himself from sprawling in upon the floor by clutching the door Jamb. When he re­ gained his balance, he was gazing into the mnxzle of a very steady and de­ pendable looking six-gun. At first flush hq actually thought it was a joke. “You wouldn't shoot ■ manY' His voire had lost Ita Jaunty assur“No,” came the cold, crisp answer down the steady barrel, “but I'd shoot a snake.” <TO RK CONTINUKD 1 Twenty.

They will eatablish headquarters at the Red Cross office, which is at the court bouse. It is their intention to take action on such cases of disabled soldiers as may be in need of rehabilitation. Claims for training will be. Investi­ gated with a view to bringing im­ mediate action. Men who have been disabled in the war and who are able to carry on successfully are the es­ pecial problems of the Federal Board. Training is given those men either thru schools or in industries or business houses or offices which will enable them to make a living successfully la spite of the handicap from which they may be suffering due to disease or injury incurred in the service. This plan has been put into operatlon in order to bring this training to men who need it, as rapidly as possible. With the great numbers of disabled men who returned from tho war, it has necessarily taken consid­ erable time to investigate and take action on e&cb claim. Any disabled man who is in need of training or whose claim has been pending with the Federal Board, is urged to call on one of these dates.

Don't do that around home, but you never can tell what a fellow will do when he gets away from home. Thinks he's got things fixed up for another trip on the 14th, when the case comes up again, but we think we can fix it so that he won't be called.

Or We have the regular rub and vacuum which go by hand or power. Come in and see them. We have all these in stock Just the same, we took It. Rather have old. second-hand money than none at all. Isn’t it queer how a man who has lived in a town but a few months knows all the faults of every man in 'town and none of his virtues. Must be true that bad news travels fast. However, wouldn't It look just as well for a comparative stranger not to shoot off his bazoo too much un­ til he knows something about what he is talking about? We have known people to get rich minding their own business. And others who got their nose . bumped for sticking it into some­ thing that was none of their business. AS THE EDITOR SEES IT. With farm products clear down in price, a few people are wonder­ ing what the farmer will do this summer. They fear he will raise only enough for his own use and let the rest of us starve. It might be an act of just retribu­ tion if he did let the gougers go hun­ gry. But he won’t. He has a big­ ger heart than some other people and the world will not suffer through any inaction of his. He will go right on raising his crops and we will keep right on eating them. It is a pity, though, that there is no way of singling out the gougers and profiteers and compelling them to grub for themselves or do with­ out. It would be mighty comforting to the farmer, the retailer, and the fel­ lows who pay the piper. In the old ' days mothers kept their daughters almost in total Ig­ norance of the ways of the world as regards the masculine sex. Today such a course is fraught with much danger for the girl. It is no longer possible to keep a young girl in Ignorance. There is always some one ready to Impart the ■knowledge which she has a right to possess, and if it comes from one who Is not overly scrupulous in her ways it often throws a glamour of attractiveness around unconvention­ al acts upon which the respectable world frowns. All that a girl should know prior to her wedding day—and there Is much—should be told her by her mother. The jealous solicitude of mother­ hood can not be replaced by any other, nor can the responsibilities it entails be safely shifted to other shoulders. The young girl approaching ma­ turity has a right to know. It is the duty of the mother to tell her. Just now a good many well mean­ ing people are In favor of America setting the world an example by dis­ arming without waiting for other nations to take similar action. That reminds us of the big dog with a juicy bone. As long as his teeth are good and sharp he will hold onto, his dinner. But remove his teeth and some mangy cur will take it away from him. America’s great wealth is a mighty juicy bone. Our armament is our teeth. Figure it out for yourself. YOU AND YOUR TOWN. Your town boosts you. Why not do as well by the town as it does by you? . No citizen is so powerful, none so humble, but what the town is an aid to him in some way or other. The food that he eats, the clothes that he wears, the recreation and amusement that he enjoys, all origi­ nate in the town, because the money with which they are ' procured is made there. When a fellow boosts his own town he does not stop there. He is performing an act that Improves his own condition, for every good and every good deed has its elevating in­ fluence. 5 A few people are always home town boosters. They accomplish much in the way of community bet­ terment, and this improves the con­ dition of not only themselves, but also of those who -do no boosting at all. If. every citizen would constitute himself or herself a home town booster the result collectively would be many times as great, and oppor­ tunities for self improvement would be more numerous.

Illinois, apparently thinks more of common sense than he does of the criticisms ot his brother and sis­ ter educators. Mr. Tobin, man of courage in a hidebound environment, has author­ ized his teachers to make use of the expresssions “He Don’t” and “It's Me.” Ninety per cent of all edu­ cated people, he claims, use these same "ungrammatical’ expressions in every day life. “What good does It do to teach school children a form of expression that is* outlawed by common usage and by a sense of good form?" he asks, referring to “It is I.” What good. Indeed? Tobin should be in the newspaper game, where editors kick antiquat­ ed grammars Into the discard and adopt their own forms of speech, keeping both feet on the ground and pleasant tho the edit editorial eye on the pulse of the I people. Read the sporting pages of the daily papers of the big cities. You will find many glowing tributes to the prowess of prize fighters—men who earn great incomes by punch­ ing other people, just as the bull fighters of Spain earn fortune and glory by brutally inflicting wanton pain upon dumb animals for pur­ poses of sport. When the next war comes these prize fighters—men .of prowess—would make good soldiers. But they won’t — unless drafted and driven to it. Fighting for wealth and glory Is one thing. Fighting for country and a pittance is quite another. And then in the prize ring one may get knock­ ed out. On the battlefield he may get bumped off. There is a difference, and it Is considerable.

Too often this impor­ tant factor Is not considered when the step is taken, and as a result the young people, are soon sailing arouud In a rudderless ship with the divorce court as the inevitable clP max. There is one reason why mar­ riages on the farm are very largely successful—that la because the farm- DedJm ITCxltC’ I er generally sees to it that his son ii or daughter is provided with a sub­ i Kta nt Jal home. ’ The charming bungalow shown here Is typical of the type that Is being built by many farmers for their sons I and daughters when they marry. As a rule the children do not care to live with the folks, even though the home be large enough, and nre anxious to set up housekeeping In a little home of their own. The bungnlow shown here Is not lim­ ited to any particular locality, however, and can fit as well In any city setting. Built so as to make a very pleasing picture, in the first place, it has six large rooms arranged In a very effi­ cient manner. This bungalow is 30 by 46 feet and of frame construction. The long slope of the roof, the gables, the ^hlngle siding and the attractive de­ sign of the long, roomy front porch give it a fine appearance. It has about It an atmosphere of hospitality and comfort that cannot fall to appeal to the young couple who are contemplat­ ing matrimony. Its congenial sure course of their married* life v*s happy and satisfactory as possible. and .attractive. Its six rooms are a living room, dining room, three bed­ rooms. and a kitchen. The living room Is one of those large rooms that make an ideal lounging place for the fam­ ily. It Is made extra cheerful and comfortable by large front windows and an open brick fireplacd. Its else Is 14 by 17 feet. The front entrance bEDM , IFWfo' What is said to be the biggest real Potter ot thia city sold the estead, a farm of 520 acres. Appeal Strongly to tho in That the Building Is to Make the Homa Light as Possible. of tills home opens directly Into the living room, the usual space given over to a reception hall being used for more practical purposes. Opening off the living room through a wide doorway. enhanced by a col­ onnade, is the dining room, the same size as the living room. It is well lighted by a triple bay window. The arrangement of this room In relation to the kitchen Is a particularly happy one and certainly one that will be ap­ preciated by the housewife. Only a few steps are required to bring the food for the family meal from the kitchen. This Is a very important factor in making the work of the wife as light as possible. • With this Idea of eliminating much of the unnecessary waste of energy on the part of the housewife, the archi­ tect made the kitchen small and effi­ cient Modern equipment In the way of refrigerator, food cupboards, etc^ are found In this room. . A second door from the dining room leads Into a hall from which access is gained to the various bedrooms and bathroom. The bedrooms have all been placed oh one side of the house, removed from the noise and activity of the living quarters. The front bed­ room Is off the living room and can be used as a guest room In case of emer­ gency or as a den or library. All of these rooms are well lighted and venti­ lated by one or more windows, the rear bedroom having windows on side and rear. They are 11 feet by 11 feet f indies, 10 feet 6 Inches by 11 feet 6 Inches and 12 feet 6 inches by 11 feet 0 Inches. Each bedroom lias a clothes closet It Is certainly a most attractive home, and one that is very popular among young people. The couple for­ tunate enough to start out on their voyage through matrimonial seas in such a home have a decided advan­ tage. and there should be little fear of their foundering on the rocks. The idea of home ownership should be In­ stilled in the younger generation, and much of the present suffering from home shortage will l»e eliminated. A little less attention to hectic amuse­ ments and more thought to the real things of life will do much to bring back conditions to a more normal ba­ sis.

It is the most mod­ ern, being equipped with the latest la­ bor-saving and comfort producing de­ vices to make the lot of the housewife a pleasant one and to make home life In general one that will appeal nnd keep the children contented.

He was advised to record It as he would a deed that had been executed by signing with a mark, and to make a scroll at the end of the rec­ ord Imitating the finger prints and to write “Joseph Steinboltz with finger marks." The New York state statutes pre­ scribe a method of recording a deed where a mark haa been made but do not mention finger prints, and the county clerk Is anxious to have a court decision.

Many people in the United States are asking themselves this important question They are wondering what the future holds out for the people of the United States. They are wondering, and especially the farming class, what the conditions of agriculture will be in this country for the next few years. Many farmers have been scared, many are still scared. They have viewed with ith alarm the great drop in the prices of farm produce and are fearful ‘ - - of- the • future. ■ Many of them have been so scared that they have either sold their farms or have listed them for sale at prices far below their real value, without stopping to think things over- intelli­ gently. What Are The Facts? Well, for one thing, we are feeding in the United States alone one hundred and ten millions of people (to say nothing of a lot more millions in Europe that we are feeding today, and will have to continue to feed). Can you comprehend what that means? That’s a whale of a lot of people. And they all have to eat. Every blamed one of these hundred and ten mil­ ' lions. Some of them, id the past few months, have not been eating as much of the ham and eggs, the butter and cream, the prime beef and other good things which you raise for them as they have for the past few years. < You know the reason, don’t you? Well, it’s easy to fig­ ure out. Along in the early winter you, with hundreds of thousands of others like you, all of a sudden stopped buying automobiles, tractors and the thousands of other things which the workers in the shops and factories were making for you. The result was quickly manifest. The automobile factories and thousands of other factories shut down, throwing hundreds of thousands of men out of work, and those hundreds of thous­ ands of men had to quit buying your good’stuff as liberally as they had been doing. They had to confine themselves to the bare necessities of life. 1 , What Was The Result? The market on the things which enter into good living was glutted and the prices dropped and then you got scared and stopped all your buying, except for the things you simply had to have. That threw still other men out of work and shortened: your market all the more. And your skies became cloudier1 and you .thought everything was going plumb to what Sher­ man said war was, and the scare became still worse. Well, things went from bad to worse and from worse to . Chicago, as Mark Twain said. And all without any real reason, except that prices in • all lines had to be adjusted to something approximating pre-war levels, and when the adjustment started in earnest a psychological wave swept over the country and nearly everybody stopped buying everything. After a bit, however, the people of the United States commenced to come back to their senses; as they always do if they are given a little time. It’s just like an alarm of fire in a crowded theatre or on a ship at sea. At first there is a sort of panic, but given a few moments for the common sense of the people to get to work­ ing and order is restored and everything works out all right. The Light In The Clearing Gradually the good common sense of the people of the country began to prevail and glimmers of intelligence broke through the dark clouds of gloom. The farmers of the coun­ try, who nearly all had plenty of ready money, got over their stage fright and began to buy such things as they needed, find­ ing prices had reached a normal level on nearly all things. The retail dealers commenced to send orders to their jobbers; the jobbers commenced to send orders to the manufacturers; factories commenced to get under way. The reaction has been gradual, but it is very real, and it is accumulating speed and power. Automobile factories are getting back into production, textile mills are starting their looms and spindles, all-other lines are gradually feeling the impulse of returning trade. S s Real Estate , There is only one thing it can mean, and that is that the endless chain which he started will within a short time bring back to him the prosperity which he has started. When men are working full time they will buy for their families whatever they need. The very first thing will be more and better food. What does that mean? Better markets for the products of the farm. It’s really all very simple, isn’t it? . And what a lot of boobs we were to get scared in the first place, when there was really nothing to be alarmed about. A reconstruction period follows every war. We are mighty lucky that we are getting over this one so quickly. Now What’s To Be Done? Well, one of the best things to do is to get to digging up the dirt and putting seed into it and get to raising stuff for that hundred and ten millions of people to eat. Because they have to eat, and it takes a whale of a lot of stuff to feed them. And do you realize that good farming lands are getting mighty scarce in this country’? Years ago the government would throw open a new state or two of farm lands for settlement. The government can't do it any more. They are all gone. That’s settled. There will be an occasional small tract made arable by some irrigation project, but these are so small that they won’t amount to a drop in the bucket Then What Next? The answer is so simple that it replies for itself. The people of the United States must raise more crops on what land they Jiave. We must do more intensive farming. We must give the land better cultivation and better care and raise more and better crops. We are rapidly learning how. The farmer of today is more intelligent, raises better crops, more of them, and makes more money than the farmer of a generation ago. You know that. Everybody knows it. His future is secure. More secure, in fact, than that of any’ other business man in the world. And he will make more money year after year, be­ cause he is studying his work, his soil and its possibilities, is studying market conditions and improving them. Now, What’s The Right Thing? Take advantage of the poor boob who is still scared, or of the farmer who has made his pile and wants to retire. Buy his farm, step into his place, and make your future secure and prosperous. , The population of the United States is increasing by leaps and bounds. The tillable lands are practically all in use. Get yours while the price is low, for as sure as the world stands and the population continues to increase, just so surely will prices of farm products rise and become stabilized. No sane man can deny that. All thinking men admit it. The time to buy and become established is while the opportunity is at hand to get splendid farms at npminal prices. The man who thinks good farm lands will ever be any cheaper is the man without vision. The man who really thinks realizes that farm lands will never be any cheaper than they are today, because as prices of farm products rise, so will the ' acreage price rise. Buy now and profit in the future. Let Us Show You The Way We have for rale some of the finest farms in Central Michigan. Many of them can be bought on easy terms. Every one of them is worth all and more than the money asked, and the price is sure to increase. There was never a more opportune time to buy. If you are interested, come and see us or write us. • We will take pleasure in showing you an inexhaustible gold mine, and that is something that, has never yet been found in the hills. Central Michigan farms are today lower in price than any good farm lands in the United States. Give us a chance to prove this to your entire satisfaction. And today, now, this very spring, is the time to buy, be­ fore the rise in price which is sure to come in the near future. E. E.

LTHOUGH grammarians writing in recent years say that the use of “balance" in the sense of ’Test" or “remainder” Is now used so frequent­ ly that It may be said to have become a part of the language, they agree.In asserting that a distinction should be made tietween "balancw" and “re­ mainder." In this as in many otheA caws, everyone must ?b-operate if the purity of the English language Is to be preserved.« A -------“balance" Is the amount that must he added to or subtracted from one side of an account to make the two sides agree; the word should not be employed to indicate the amount or the number left after a pnrt Is taken away. M*hen It Is necessary fo express the latter meaning say “remainder” or "rest." For exam­ ple. do not say. "I ate half of the apnle this morning, and expect to <*at the balance this afternoon."

Some of them were near our feet -in diameter, they branch out about eight of nine feet from the ground and send out great branches tha£ cover an immense space. I paced the spread of two of these trees and they were 47 paces which would make them better than 141 feet in diameter. Ocalla is a very pretty city ot 5000 inhabitants. We stayed over Sunday in Ocalla and while there we were visited by a jolly old ex-confederate veteran who gave us some reminesjenes of the civil war. Nov. 8. 1920, we left Ocalla about 7:30 and drove out to Sliver Sprins, which are claimed to be the largest In the world. I’m not going to give you any description of these wonder­ ful works of nature as Mr. Vane Wotring has given the readers of the News a far more graphic des­ than my poor pencil would Deere goods are not surpassed by any.

Come in and get price the parade escorted by the Loyal le­ gion. Somehow they can’t give up that old southern spirit, and I was informed by a lady who lives In Or­ lando that the women of the south do the most toward keeping alive hat spirit.*. As you have heard from time to time. Orlando is a very pret­ ty city settled largely by northern people, and they have their knife ground sharp to skin you at every turn. Everything you buy there is higher than any other place in Flor­ ida that we have visited. We stayed four days in Orlando. Npv. 12, left Orlando and went on down to Lakeland, passing through Kissimmee. Going from Kissimmee to Lakeland wc passed i through Lake Alfred, which is given ■ over wholly to orange and grape fruit.

No. 1837 Prairie avenue. Chicago, Wla*”0 °Dly lnclo®e two-cent stamp for By WILLIAM A. RADFORD; • Dairying is an attractive and Im­ portant feature of farm life because it means an all-year source of income. Even in the cold winter months when everything else Is slack the herd con­ tinues to turn out milk- which means money to the farmer. Naturally he Is particularly Interested in this branch of his work, more so than In any other, and the question of Increased production is one to which he Is giving constant thought. It has been demon­ strated that contented cows will give more milk—and contented cows are those that are housed In a comfort­ able barn, well ventilated and strictly sanitary in all respects. The farmer cannot afford to neglect bls dairy bam, because thereon de­ pends to a large degree hls success with hls herd. Tlte bam shown here is typical of the, type that Is being erected in large numbers by progres­ sive fanners all over the country. It Is built to house the herd of the aver­ age farmer who has only a few cows but Is interested In seeing that they produce as much as possible. In the construction of a bam of this type the framing of the roof Is im­ portant. The roof must be built to cover's large hay mow and yet be supported by as few obstructing posts as possible. To overcome this the plank frafne and other types of con­ struction have been successfully in­ troduced. They eliminate the neces­ sity of supporting posts and give a large high open hay mow for storing the hay. An Idea as to the height of this section of the bam can be ob­ tained by noting the height of the door through which hay Is being loaded. This building has been set on a firm concrete foundation and Is built of heavy frame studs and rafters covered by frame siding and wooden singles. An Important feature of the structure Is the ventilator on the top. Tills has gradually replaced the old type of cu­ pola which was found so often on hams and la connected by. fnul air flues to all parts of the bam. As a result the foul air Is continually drawn off and a supply of fre?h air takes Its place, insuring perfect ventilation, bn MAentlal to good production.

Dutch colonial homes are Identified by the steep pitch and long slope of the roof, with a broad dormer across both front and back. The house la equally divided by a central entrance door, and-on either side are duplicate windows and exterior trim, which gives the Colonial balance to the structure. The roof arrangement permits all of the space covered to be used, whereas In other styles a steep pitched roof lenves many nooks with the celling so low that they ure wasted. How the rooms In this house are arranged and the size of each of them Is shown by the floor plan. The en­ trance door opening off the wide. In­ viting porch, leads Into a central hall out of which run lhe stairs. To the left through a cased opening Is the living room, 14 by 13 feet G Inches. Back of the living room Is a bedroom, or library, 9 by 10 feet 0 Inches. To the right of the hall is the dining room, also connected wlj h the rocpp. Mon room by a cnsed opening.

Through ths ball to the back there Is a washroom, or laundry, with a lavatory adjoining. Thus it will be seen that the hous* Is equally divided, the two rooms on. either side being of the same sIsk but separated by the hall. At th* same time the cased openings permit the use of dining and living room and, hall for enter tn loments. Upstairs there are five good bed­ rooms. and bathroom. Three of th* rooms are across the front of th* house, and two at the back, with th* bathroom between. All open directly; off the square upstairs hall and eadrf is easily accessible to the bathrooa* The numerous closets are designated on the floor plan. The basement extends under th* whole of the bouse, and, as it is set on a concrete foundation. Is finished with smooth walls and a concret* floor. Here Is plenty of space for th* basement heating plant, the fuel and fruit and vegetable storage rooms and space for garden tools, laundry equip­ ment', etc.' A home built from this design Is suitable for either city, town or farm. While it is large in number of rooms^ the cost is comparatively small, as tbn dimensions of the house ere not largo.

AND NOW’S THE TIME TO BUILD THEM Prospective Builders Should Reap the Advantage of the Present Rock Bottom Prices on Lumber During the past two or three years many people who have had estimates made on homes have been greatly disappointed with the ■amount of money required to construct the building. Costs out of sight, and many projects were abandoned almost as soon as the esti­ mates were read. - These conditions have changed. Lumber prices have struck rock bottom, giving an impetus to building activity that will be felt the na­ tion over. And this Is another long stride toward normal business. Have you ever given a thought to the tremendous part that Building plays in the affairs of a country? A large percentage of the people you know are connected directly or Indirectly with Building. Look over the list of manufacturing plants and figure out how many of them have to do with the business of Building. The nation's pros­ perity hinges largely upon the amount of construction that is being done. And what's true of the nation, tn this case also applies to the small town. A few houses started now would be the cause ot many others being built, and an early building boom would put Old Man Gloom out of a job In Nashville. Our warehouses are filled with everything from the heavy lum­ ber for the frame to shingles for the roof, and prices are now so low that you will be agreeably surprised. If you need a home or have any intentions of building, well be glad to have you call’ at any time and talk it over with us. We will give you the benefit of our experience in the selection of material, and assure you that the quali­ ty of any lumber bought here will satisfy you. Our many years of experience in con­ tracting and building makes us particu­ larly well qualified to help you in many ways in saving money in anything you may be .planning in the building line. Ask us freely in regard to any of your building problems. We can Furnish the Material for Your Home Let Us Show You Plans and also Give You an Estimate on the Cost Come in and see us. BUILDERS’ SUPPLIES We also have a well-equipped mill, with experienced workmen, and can supply you with any kind of interior finish you may de­ sire. You may have your choice of a variety of handsome designs ot doors, windows, railings, trimmings, etc. Here’s a Little Suggestion For The Man Who Doesn’t Need to Build It is remarkable how a little lumber and a good workman or two can make over a plain, old-fashioned, out-of-style house into a neat, attractive home. The cost at present prices will be more than offset by the Increased value of your property. But it isn’t altogether the money investment that ought to be considered. Maybe mother and the girls are dissatisfied with the plain old house. The neigh­ borhood has been beautifying and your folks, too, may long for those attractive little features that make the passerby pause and say: “Now there's a neat little home.” We have some interesting suggestions for economical remodeling YARDS ON SOUTH STATE ST.

You can buy any of these homes at such a price that you can own It very easily. Then when you do get ready to build new home for yourself, you will be able to get back the money you have invested and some more with it, with which to build your new home. The man who invests his money in real estate will be a fortunate man a few years later, unless the shrewdest men of the country are at fault in their predictions. A period of great pros­ perity is dawning and business Is picking up all over the country. When conditions become stable which time is rapidly approaching, you will find that money In ested now in real estate will be among the cream of your Investments. .. Blocks and bonds may turn out well or they may lose you a lot ot money. Real estate is the surest and most substantial investment you can make today. Be wise in time. FARM PROPERTY, TOO Xa one of the very beat buys of today.

ONE OF YOUR VERY OWN. . ' IlL.^and only Inclow two-cent 'stamp for One of the important buildings on a large farm, especially on one where breeding of High-grade animals is a specialty. Is a suitable salesroom or barn and stable to house the animals while waiting until the time comes to appear in the show ring. An attrac­ tive show place wIU do much toward increasing the selling price of the ani­ mals, because they are furnished with a be’r«y setting. The effect on the prospective purchaser Is apparent. They are bound to be Impressed. The building shown here Is an ad­ mirable type of combination sales barn and stable. Built substantially of frame set on a concrete foundation it Is unusually large'and roomy nnd well arranged. Aa you will notice, it is protected against lightning by a complete rod Installation and Is well ventilated. In fact, the latest equip­ ment needed to make thin barn as effi­ cient as possible has been used. The large doors are hung on easily oper­ ated rollers and tracks and are pro­ tected by a supplementary roof which extends around on all sides. Plenty of windows furnish sunlight, which Is needed for the show ring and for the health of the animals housed In the building. The roof is of the popular gambrel type. Many of the farmers’ and deal­ ers’ co-operative societies are building this kind of building Id which they in­ tend to hold their sales. The main part of the structure Is Ml by 36 feet and contains a large sales nnd show room. -On one side of tills arena Is a balcony wnere the buyers cau sit nnd get a good view of the animals on dis­ play. Below this balcony on either side are stalls, seven In all. where the animals can* be held pending their turn In the ring. The small wing to the rear of this section contains the office and also t^e main entrance. In the large wing to the aide Is the housing section, containing twelve stalls, three box stalls, a feed room end a wash* room. The animals can be kept here, fed and cleaned before going out Into the sales room. This Is Important to farmers and breeders who come from a distance. They have the advantage of a comfortable and safe place to house their stock. Leading up to this sales barn Is an attractive roadway with parking space on each side for automobiles and other vehicles. While this kind of building Is more pretentious than Is usually found in many localities. It k* gaining In popu­ larity and Is being recognized as a very necessary Jink in successful farm communities. Heretofore fhe disposal of stock has always been more or less of a problem to the farmer because he could not find a satisfactory place to keep hls stock while waiting for the sale. This building provides a donble convenience, adequate'housing space WCHfiH SWARTZ &SURINE to Be Done Gallo tea mu hold and It promises well for tht times to come. The whole world de­ pends upon the ability of the farmer to produce, and the greater the pro­ duction the more satisfaction. Better farm buildings are one of the means by which this result can be brought about —Attempting to put into this small ad­ vertisement all we know about paint and painting would be foolish.

They are wondering, and especially the fanning class, what the conditions of agriculture will be in this country for the next few years. Many farmers have been scared, many are still scared. They, have viewed with alarm the great great drop ’ . in ’ the ’ prices . ’ of farm produce and are fearful of the future. Many of them have, been so scared that they have either sold their farms or have listed them for sale at prices far below their real value, without stopping to think things over intelli­ gently. What Are The Facts? Well, for one thing, we are feeding in the United States alone one hundred and ten millions of people <to say nothing of a lot more millions in Europe that we are feeding today, and will have to continue to feed). Can you comprehend what that means? That’s a whale of a lot of people. And they al! have to eat. Every blamed one of these hundred and ten mil­ lions. Some of them, in the past few months, have not been eating as much of the ham and eggs, the butter and cream, the prime beef and other good things which you raise for them as they have for the past few years. You know the reason, don’t you? Well, it’s easy to fig­ ure out. Along in the early winter you, with hundreds of thousands of others like you, all of a sudden stopped buying automobiles, tractors and the thousands of other things which the workers in the shops and factories were making for you. The result was quickly manifest. The automobile factories and thousands of other factories shut down, throwing hundreds of thousands of men out of work, and those hundreds of thous­ ands of men had to quit buying your good stuff as liberally as they had been doing. They had to confine themselves to the bare necessities of fife. . What Was The Result? The market on the things which enter into good living was glutted and the prices dropped and then you got scared and stopped all your buying, except for the things you simply had to have. . That threw still'other men out of work and shortened your market all the more. And your skies became cloudier and you thought everything was going plumb to what Sher­ man said war was, and the scare became still worse. Well, things went from bad to worse and from worse to Chicago, as Mark Twain said. And all without any real reason, except that prices in all lines had to be adjusted to something approximating pre-war levels, and when the adjustment started in earnest a psychological wave swept over.the country and nearly everybody stopped buying everything. ' After a bit, however, the people of the United States commenced to come back to their senses, as they always do if they are given a little time. It’s just like an alarm of fire in a crowded theatre or on a ship at sea. At first there is a sort of panic, but given a few moments for the common sense of the people to get to work­ ing and order is restored and everything works out all right. The Light In The Clearing Gradually the good common sense of the people of the country began to prevail and glimmers of intelligence broke through the dark clouds of gloom. The farmers of the coun­ try, who nearly all had plenty of ready money, got over their stage fright and began to buy such things as they needed, find­ ing prices had reached a normal level on nearly all things. The retail dealers commenced to send orders to their jobbers; the jobbers commenced to send orders to the manufacturers; factories commenced to get under way. The reaction has been gradual, but it is very real, and it is accumulating speed and power. Automobile factories are getting back into production, . textile mills are starting their looms and spindles, all other lines are gradually feeling the impulse of returning trade. Real Estate What Will It Mean To The Farmer?' There is only one thing it can mean, and that is that the endless chain which he started will within a short time bring back to him the prosperity which he has started. When men are working full time they will buy for their families whatever" they need. The very first thing will be more and better food. What does that mean? Better markets for the products of the farm. . • It’s really all very simple, isn’t it? And what' a lot of boobs we were to get scared in the first place, when there was really nothing to be alarmed about. A reconstruction period follows every war. We are mighty lucky that we are getting over this one so quickly. Now What’s To Be Done? Well, one of the best things to do is to get to digging up the dirt and putting seed into it and get to raising stuff for that hundred and ten millions of people to eat. Because they have to eat, and it takes a whale of a lot of stuff to feed them. And do you realize that good farming lands are getting mighty scarce in this country? Years ago the government would throw often a new state or two of farm lands for settlement. The government can’t do it any more. They are all gone. That’s settled. There will be an occasional'small tract made arable by some irrigation project, but these are so small that they won’t amount to a drop in the bucket. ’ Then What Next? The answer is so simple that it replies for itself. The people of the United States must raise more crops on what land they have. We must do more intensive farming. We must give the land better cultivation and better care and raise more and better crops. We are rapidly learning how. The farmer of today is more intelligent, raises better crops, more of them, and makes more money tljan the fanner of a generation ago. You know that. Everybody knows it. His future is secure. More secure, in fact, than that of any other business man in the, World. And he will make more money year after year, be­ cause he is studying his work, his soil and its possibilities, ■ is studying market conditions and improving them. Now, What’s The Right Thing? Take advantage of the poor boob who is still scared, or of the farmer who has made his pile and wants to retire. Buy his farm, step into his place, and make your future secure and prosperous. The population of the United States is increasing by leaps and bounds. The tillable lands are practically all in use. Get yours while the price is low, for as sure as the world stands and the population continues to increase, just so surely will prices of farm products rise and become stabilized. No sane man can deny that. All thinking men admit it. The time to buy and become established is while the opportunity is at hand to get splendid farms at nominal prices. The man who thinks good farm lands'will ever be any cheaper is the man without vision. The man who really thinks realizes that farm lands will never be any cheaper than they are today, because as prices of farm products rise, so will the acreage price rise. Buy now and profit in the future. Let Us Show You The Way We have 'or sale some of the finest farms in Central Michigan. Many of them can be bought on easy terms. Every one of them is worth all and more than the money asked, and the price is sure to increase. There was never a more opportune time to buy. It you are interested, come and see us or write us. We will take pleasure in showing you an inexhaustible gold mine, and that is something that has never yet been found in the hills. Central Michigan farms are today lower in price than any good farm lands in the United States. Give us a chance to prove this to your entire satisfaction. And today, now, this very spring, is the time to buy, be­ fore the rise in price which is sure to come in the near future. E. E. GIBSON Office—First R.w r Mallory Building Real Estate NASHVILLE.

The cottage that we lived in wae on­ ly about 100 feet from where the blue waters ot the gulf rolled in, and night after night we could hear the surf pound and then some. It was a great place to pick up shells, and we pat­ rolled the beach day after day and picked up barrels of shells of all kinds, coral and sponges of all kinds and sizes. You never could tell what you might find. One morning the writer and the Bo'sun took a walk down to the south end of the island, which tor about three miles M'as un­ inhabited. we were walking down near where the wave* rolled gently in, when the Bo’sun said, "Look there," a* an object came rolling over and he stooped down and pick­ ed up (you couldn't guess in a mil­ lion years) a full set of upper false teeth. Judging from ths six© they belonged to the feminine gender. Gee! she must have been some sick. he was going outside to take up some crab traps* and would I like to go along, we would be around in front of the cottage by dinner time. Now. I will say here that he' wind blows most of the time on the coast and on this particular occasion it had been blowing quite strong from the north-west and that morning it looked to a land lubber mighty nasy. While talking with the fisherman I looked out of the front window to where the surf was breaking not 100 feet away, and 1 didn't want to go. but by heck, we had said so, and go we would. So finishing the eats we went across the bridge to his fish house, which was on the bay inside and climbed aboard. The ride up the bay. eight miles, which we made by gas power was fine. The upper part of the bay widens out and at low tide is very shallow, and on them shallows we saw every kind ofwater fowl. As we neared the pass out side we began to get the full force of the wind. Between the two islands is about 100 rods and a long sand spot runs out on either side and the deep water pass is only 100 feet wfc’e with a- bar In front, and when we got up within quarter of a mile of the pass. well, we sort of felt sick. Those great big frothing foam cap­ ped breakers were coming in offer that bar in solid ranks about 10 ft. high and like Kaiser Bill's famous drives, wave after wave, and that fisherman, doggone him. said. Gee! it's rougher than I thought ft would be, "but we screwed up our courage and*said .in a matter of fact way, is it? Then he kind of grinned and said, it will be smoother when we get over the bar. Well, we got there allright and that dad binged boat did all kinds of acrobatic stunts, ex­ cept turn somersaults, but it, rode the waves like a cork. We were re­ minded of the Irishman that tried to ride a.colt and .lt ran away with him and some one yelled, **Pa, Jump off.’* and he yelled back, "Be Jabers, how can 1 jump off. when it's all I can do to hang on?" We didn't want to Jump off, but it was all we could do to hang on. We were ly­ ing fiat on the after-deck, our feet against the deck rail, and hanging on with both hands to the cabin hatch combing. Weil, when we got over the bar it wasn't so choppy but those great big blue-green waves were a darn sight bigger, and that engine pushing that boat up against them was a fright. We would hit a big roller, climb up on top of it, until about half of the forward end of the boat was out of the water, and then pitch down and bury her nose in the next one with a bang that sounded as though it would smash everything; (Continued next week) one of old ocean'* unsolved myster­ ies?

Barry county wool growers have 133,133 pounds of wool in the state farm bureau wool pool according to the farm bureau wool department. The county's wool was assembled at Naahville, Middleville, Milo and Hast­ ings. ’ Despite the fact that since May 15, 1920, there has been practically no wool market, approximately one mil­ lion of the 3,500,000 pounds in the pool have been sold, says A. J. Hankins,, marketing director. More than a million pounds of the remain­ ing unmarketed wool has been grad­ ed and the work is declared to be progressing at the rate of 20.000 lbs. a day. Large manufacturers have discovered the absolute reliability of the state farm bureau wool grades and are taking advantage of the fact that they can buy what they want In large quantities direct from the pool, says Mr. Hankins. According to the U. 8. Dept, of Agriculture, farm wages Increased 15 per cent from 1915 to 1920, reaching an average throughout the nation in the latter year of 264.85 without board and *46.89 with board. the highest figure in the nation's history. The lowest figure, says the department. was in 1879. when the prevailing wag© averaged *16.42 per month without board. Farmers speak with one voice In explaining why farm labor wages are to bo almost halved. Low prices and lack of demand for their pro­ ducts, an easy labor market, and a general unwillingness to invest their money in labor and materials under present conditions are among the reasons cited.

Mr. Barker was at Charlotte Sat-vrday, as a representative of our Athletic Association, to decide the time and place for the championship game between Charlotte and Hast­ ings. The only action that was tak­ en was to award four places instead of three in each of the track and field events. The points will be awarded 5, 3, 2 and 1, intend of 5, 3 and 1. The Senior play was well attended both nights, the gross receipts amounting to $136. The 8 th grade Agriculture class has been much interested in the stencils loaned them by the International Harvester Co. They make the work much more interesting. High school art class is making advertising posters. Graydon Andrews, Gaylen Cronk and Elisabeth Palmer, former stu­ dents of Nashville high school, are home for a short time as their col­ lege at Albion is closed on account of smallpox. The agriculture experiments are progressing nicely. The experiments with different soils as to mineral and humus contents have been studied. The class is now taking up the sub­ jects of water percolation through different kinds of soil. There are about 24 or 25 experiments under progress, chiefly with soils and germination.

Don’t you see cases ot it in your own observation every day? Timos are right now propitious for the intending builder. The prices on lumber have dropped fully onethird, according to lumber authori­ ties. Furthermore, the yards are now well stocked with everything1 necessary and delays will be avoided. Now; too, dealers are anxious to get the early spring business started, be­ cause they realize that later in tbe season they wiU more than have their hands full, and they are anxious to get a line on what further supplies they will need to keep their yards and sheds properly stocked. They will make concessions to the early buy­ ers that they may not be able to make later in the season. The dealers In hardware and builders* supplies are in much the same shape. For the first time in several years they arn able to get orders filled without vexatious de­ lays, and it seems good to them to be able to supply customers with what is wanted, even if they have to take lower prices and a smaller margin of profits. Prices on cement have dropped as low as they can he expected to fall, with the present and future enor­ mous demand for highway, bridge and other construction work. The same condition holds good in regard to practically everything that enters into the construction of new buildings or the alterations and re-, pairing of old ones. Contractors and builders are look­ ing for work, anxious for your con­ tract right now. A little later In the season It will be much more difficult to get labor when you want it, and it is quite likely that labor prices will be higher than the men would be glad to accept right now.

The side entrance leads into a long re­ ception hall fr’fim which exit Is gained to the living room on one side and ths dining room on the other. In this home the living room is by far the most striking feature. It is unusually large, being 13 ft 8 In. by 27 feet An Ideal place for the family to gather in the evening.

Two very large doorways open on the covered porch 10 by 14 feet, which can be easily coLverted into a sleeping porch with the addition of screens. At the very end of the living robm is a wall bookcase. The dining room on the other side of rhe hall is almost square being 13 ft. 3 In. by 15 feeL The kitchen Is di­ rectly In back of the dining room and is slightly smaller In size. The size of the kitchen Is an important feature of modern construction. The large kitchen of a few years ago is no long­ er found. This Is particularly due to the shortage of domestic help, and the housewife cannot take care of the large room without help. As n result the builder has reduced the size of this room and hoped In doing so to make It more efficient The kitchen In this home is built with all modern equipment Opening from the pantry onto the porch is a wall door ice box. This eliminates the necessity of the Ice man walking through the kitchen and disturbing the family, ns he can put the ice in the box from the porch. The bedrooms are all located on the second floor. There are four of them of exactly the same size, 13 ft 8 inches by 11 ft. 6 Inches, each with a large clothes closet and lighted by at least two windows. The bathroom completes the arrangement In view of the present shortage of homes and the crowded conditions in many localities, families who have such a home ns is shown_here are In­ deed fortunate. Too often In ths con­ struction of dwellings the children are overlooked, and in many cases arc not tolerated by landlords. However, they are a necessity and attractive and comfortable homes like this type, will do mnch in developing them into healthy men and women.

Bring Your Building Problems to Us. Our warehouses are filled with everything from the heavy lum­ ber for the frame to shingles for the roof, and prices are now so low that you will be agreeably surprised. If you need a home or have , any Intentions of building, we’ll be glad to have you call at any time and talk it over with us.

You may have your choice of a variety of handsome designs ot doors, windows, railings, trimmings, etc. During the past two or three years many people who have had estimates made on homes have been greatly disappointed with the amount of money required to construct the building. Costs out of sight, and many projects were abandoned almost as soon as the esti­ mates were read. These conditions have changed. Lumber prices have struck rock bottom, giving an Impetus to building activity that will be felt the na­ tion over. ▲nd this Is another long stride toward normal business. Have you ever given a thought to the tremendous part that Building plays In the affairs of a country? A, large percentage ot the people yon know are connected directly or Indirectly with Building. Look over the list of manufacturing plants and figure out how many of them have to do with the business of Building. The nation’s pros­ perity hinges largely upon the amount of construction that Is being done. And what’s true of the nation, In this case also applies to the small town. ▲ few houses started now would be the cause of many others being built, and an early building boom would put Old Man Gloom out of a job In Nashville. Here’s a Little Suggestion For The Man Who Doesn’t Need to Build It 1b remarkable how a little lumber and a good workman or two can make over a plain, old-fashioned, out-of-style house into a neat, attractive home. The cost at present prices will be more than offset by the increased value of your property. But It Isn’t altogether the money Investment that ought to be considered. Maybe mother and the girls are dissatisfied with the plain old house. The neigh­ borhood has been beautifying and your folks, too, may long for those attractive little features that make tbe passerby pause and say: ’’Now there’s a neat little home.” We can Furnish the Material for Your Home Let Us Show You Plans and also Give You an Estimate on the Cost Come in and see us.

Then when you do get ready to build a new home for yourself, you will be able to get back the money you have invested and some more with it, with which to build your new home. The man who invests his money In real estate will be a fortunate man a few years later, unless the. shrewdest men of the country are at fault in their predictions. A period of great pros­ perity is dawning and business Is picking up all over the coutt-y. When conditions become stable which time is rapidly approaching, you will find that money In ested now in real estate will be among the cream of your Investments. Stocks and bonds may turn out well or they may lose you a lot of money. Real estate is tbe surest and most substantial Investment you can make today. Be wise In time. FARM PROPERTY, TOO Is one of the very best buy of today.

They are wondering, and especially the fanning class, what the conditions of agriculture will be in this country for the next few years. Many farmers have been scared, many are still scared. They have viewed with alarm the great drop in the prices of farm produce and are fearful of the future. Many of them have been so scared that they have either sold their farms or have listed them for sale at prices far below their real value, without stopping to think things over intelli­ gently. • The Light In The Clearing Gradually the good common sense of the people of the country began to prevail and glimmers of intelligence broke through the dark clouds of gloom. The farmers of the coun­ try, w’ho nearly all had plenty of ready money, got over their stage fright and began to buy such things as they needed, find­ ing prices had reached a normal level on nearly all things. The retail dealers commenced to send orders to their jobbers; the jobbers commenced to send orders to the manufacturers; factories commenced to get under way. The reaction has been gradual, but it is very real, and it is accumulating speed and power. Automobile factories are getting back into production, textile mills are starting their looms and spindles, all other lines are gradually feeling the impulse of returning trade. Floor Ma’lory Building ♦ • • I There is only one thing it can mean, and that is that the endless chain which he started will within a short time bring back to him the prosperity which he has started. When men are w’orking full time they will buy for their families whatever they need. The very first thing will be more and better food. What does that mean? Better markets for the products of the farm. ’ . It’s really all very simple, isn’t it? And w’hat a lot of boobs we were to get scared in the first place, when there was really nothing to be alarmed about. A reconstruction period follows every w’ar. We are mighty lucky that we are getting over this one so quickly. Now What’s To Be Done? ’ Well, one of the best things to do is to get to digging up the dirt and putting seed into it and get to raising stuff for that hundred and ten millions of people to eat. Because they have to eat, and it takes a whale of a lot of stuff to feed them. And do you realize that good farming lands are getting mighty scarce in this country? . Years ago the government would throw open a new state or two of farm lands for settlement. The government can’t do it any more. They are all gone. That’s settled. There will be an occasional small tract made arable by some irrigation project, but these are so small that they won’t amount to a drop in the bucket. Then What Next? The answer is so simple that it replies for itself. The people of the United States must raise more crops on what land they have. We must do more intensive farming. We must give the land better cultivation and better care and raise more and better crops. We are rapidly learning how. The farmer of today is more intelligent, raises better crops, more of them, and makes more money than the farmer of a generation ago. You know that. Everybody knows it. His future is secure. More secure, in fact, than that of any other business man in the world. And he will make-more money year after year, be­ cause he is studying his workwhis soil and its possibilities, is studying market conditions and improving them. What Was The Result? The market on the things which enter into good living was glutted and the prices dropped and then you got scared and stopped all your buying, except for the things you simply had to have. ' That threw still pther men out of work and shortened your market all the more. And your skies became cloudier and you thought everything was going plumb to what Sher­ man said war was, and the scare became still worse. Well, things went from bad to worse and from worse to Chicago, as Mark Tw’ain said. And all without any real reason, except that prices in all lines had to be adjusted to something approximating pre-war levels, and when the adjustment started in earnest a psychological wave swept over the country and nearly' everybody stopped buying everything. After a bit, however, the people of the United States commenced to come back to their senses, as they always do if they are given a little time. It’s just like an alarm of fire in a crow'ded theatre or on a ship at sea. At first there is a sort of panic, but given a few moments for the common sense of the people to get to work­ ing and order is restored and everything works out all right. ' What Will It Mean To The Farmer? What Are The Facts? Well, for one thing, we are feeding in the United States alone one hundred and ten millions of people (to say nothing of a lot more millions in Europe that we are feeding today, and will have to continue to feed). Can you comprehend what that means? That’s a whale of a lot of people. And they all have to eat. Every blamed one of these hundred and ten mil­ lions. Some of them,, in the past few months, have not been eating as much of the ham and eggs, the butter and cream, the prime beef and other good things w’hich you raise for them as they have for the past few years. You know the reason, don’t you? Well, it’s easy to fig­ ure out. Along in the early winter you, with hundreds of thousands of others like Vou, all of a sudden stopped buying automobiles, tractors and the thousands of other things which the W’orkers in the shops and factories w'ere making for you. The result was quickly manifest. The automobile factories and thousands of other factories shut down, throwing hundreps of thousands of men out of work, and those hundreds of thous­ ands of men had to quit buying your good stuff as liberally as they had been doing. They had to confine themselves to the bare necessities of life. * Now, What’s The Right Thing? / Take advantage of the poor boob who is still scared, or of the farmer who has made his pile and wants to retire. Buy his farm, step into his place, and make your future secure and prosperous. The population of the United States is increasing by leaps and bounds. The tillable lands are practically all in use. Get yours while the price is low, for as sure as the world stands and the population continues to increase, just so surely will prices of farm products rise and become stabilized. No sane man can deny that. AH thinking men admit it. The time to buy and become established is while the opportunity is at'hand to get splendid farms at nominal prices. The man who thinks good farm lands will ever be any cheaper is the man without vision. The man who really thinks realizes that farm lands will never be any cheaper than they are today, because as prices of farm products rise, so will the acreage price rise. Buy now and profit in the future. Let Us Show You The Way We have for sale some of the finest farms in Central Michigan. Many of them can be bought on easy terms. Every one of them is worth ail and more than the money asked, and the price is sure to increase. There was never a more opportune time to buy. It you are interested, come and see us or write us. We will take pleasure in showing you an inexhaustible gold mine, and that is something that has never yet been found in the hills.

However, If the house is to be furnished, no time should be lost In selecting the plans and letting the contract. Costs of building have been re­ duced materially since last spring. The prices of lumber have come down and contractors will soon have about finished the coo tracts they undertook early in the year. Consequently now is a very good time to go ahead with the home building plans. The most Important phase of home building Is selecting the plans. The design should be decided upon with care, as it is expensive and unsatisfac­ tory to make changes after the build­ ing operations actually are begun.

Bring Your Building Problems to Us. Wei Help You Solve Them, Our warehouses are filled with everything from'the heavy lum­ ber for the frame to shingles for the roof, and prices are now so low that you will be agreeably surprised. If you need a home or have any Intentions of building, we'll be glad to have you call at any time and talk it over with us. We will give you the benefit of our experience In the selection of material, and assure vou that the quail- . ty of any lumber bought Here will satisfy you. - During the past two or three yean many people who have had estimates made on homes have been greatly disappointed with tho amount of money required to construct the building. Costs out of sight, and many projects were abandoned almost as soon as the esti­ mates were read. 1 . These conditions have changed. Lumber prices have struck rock bottom, giving an Impetus to building activity that will be felt the na­ tion over. And this is another long stride toward normal business. Have you ever given a thought to the tremendous part that Building plays in the affairs of a country T A large percentage of the people you know are connected directly or Indirectly with Building. Look over the list of manufacturing plants and figure out how many of them have to do with the business of Building. The nation's pros­ perity hinges largely upon the amount of construction that is being done. And what's true of the nation, in this case also applies to the small town. A few houses started now would be the cause of many others being built, and an early building boom would put Old Man Gloom out of a job in Nashville. We also have a well-equipped mill, with experienced workmen, and can supply you with any kind of interior finish you may de­ sire. You may have your choice of a variety of handsome designs of doors, windows, ratlings, trimmings, etc. Here’s a Little Suggestion For The Man ’ Who Doesn’t Need to Build It Is remarkable how a little lumber and a gaod workman or two can make over a plain, old-fashioned, out-of-style house Into a neat, attractive home, The cost at present prices will be more than offset by the increased value of your property. But it isn't altogether the money investment that ought to be considered. Maybe mother and the girls are dissatisfied with the plain old house. The neigh­ borhood has been beautifying and your folks, too, may lofcg for those attractive little features that make the passerby pause and say: "Now there’s a neat little home."

I Experience Ims. taught dairymen the value of a modern, sanitary, well-ven- ’ tilated and conveniently arranged cow j stable. Gue observer on a recent : trip through the middle west remarked on the number of bams that were be- j ’ Ing built. That is not surprising1 , when it Is considered that the modern I dairy bam will save 30 per cent in I : labor costs, and increase milk pro­ ' duction from 10 to 20 per cent. ! One type of the modern dairy barn • j Is shown tn the accompanying lllustra- j | lion. Here' Is a frame structure, set , 1 on a masonry foundation'that Is only*' 36 by-72 feet In dimensions, but will house 30 milking cows and enable the owner of the herd to do the work necessary In caring for the animals a great deal more quickly and with a smaller number of men. It Is so de­ signed and constructed that the cows will be healthy and more productive. In exterior appearance this Is a good bam. It has- a gambrel, or roof with broken lines, and Is attractive in appearance. Adjoining Is a silo, 12 feet In diameter, of hollow clay building tile, wherein is stored the winter's supply of fresh feed for the cows. Above the stable Is a roomy mow for hay and other roughage. The floor plan that accompanies the exterior view of the bum shows the layout-of the cow stable. Through the center of the stable runs a litter alley, along either side of which are 15 cow stalls. On either side of the stable, with the stalls facing them, ar? feeding alleys. Over both the litter and feed­ ing alleys is a carrier track, which enables the owner to remove the Ut­ ter and carry the feed to the mangers mechanically. The dotted lines show the course of the carrier. At one end the track runs out to the manure pile or pit. At the other the track connects the feeding alleys with the fet>d mom and silo chute. The floor of the stable Is of concrete with steel stall partitions. Al the rear of the stalls, along either side of the litter alley Is n gnttrr. pitched to a drain, making It nn easy matter ’to n to tiave the drain connected with a concrete tank for liquid manure.,, j Sumritine and fr<*»h air are two i things that nature 'provides that cowa ! need Indoor* as well ns out.

Sevbn windows on ■ each side of the stable permit the ; entrances of sunshine, wfileh helps to keep the stable sanitary. When It Is considered that fresh water is one of the necessities for healthy, high-producing cows, it will pay every dairyman who has a herd : of any size to equip his harn with run- ! nlng water connected with automatic • drinking cups at the stall heads. How j much water a cow will drink when It is available, Is shown by a 24-bour I Watch that was kept on a stable con­ taining 24 animals. There was not a minute In the 24 hours when one of the animals was not drinking. Tests also have shown that a continuous supply of fresh water Id the stable will Increase the flow of milk 10 per cent. Such a harn ns this Is not expensive to build. Costs, however, vary In dif­ ferent localities and It Is not possible to give figures on the cost of con­ struction of this building. . A consul­ tation with the local contractor and lumber dealer will bring nn estimate. This should be done at once.- If the barn Is to be finished by the time the herd Is brought Into winter quarters.

The Pearlhunter was just coming through them. “It couldn’t have turned out better.” he said. “The dark, one stroke more, and tilings will take a turn." “That stroke!" She was very thoughtful, her eyes searching the aide of bls fnre toward her. "Yon speak of it lightly; but so you spoke of that (freadful fight with the mob.” He sat still a long time. “I don’t know why I shouldn’t tell you.” he said at last "The only rea­ son I didn’t was to save you the thought of It. But a girl like you—rd ask no better backin’ In a tight place." Her face lighted. "Then why not take me with you?" He started, turned his slow eyes toward her. A moment he studied her, and then aliook his head. “No"—the word seemed final. “It won’t do for a girl—a ladv—to hear what will have to be heart! tonight; and see what will have to be seen." Her eyes dropped; so did his. They both met at the same focus—the letter In her hand. She passed It to him.

"Keep IL please, for me till after tonight" She put It back In her bosom, picked up the letter and sat pondering, s'ealing an occasional glance at his glum face. "Seven years the letters came," the man mused, half aloud, “and you never received them. The postmaster has a stroke—you receive the very next let­ ter that conies—’’ "You don't reckon—T "Reckon!

Finally very softly, reverently, he ventured It forth. “And your mother?" The girl caught her breath; dropped one hand, doubtless unconsciously, up­ on his shoulder. Her lashes drooped low. “I never saw her!” she said, after a time. “And she—never saw me!" There was a pause. "Her grave Is on a hill that overlooks the river. Dad­ dy took me and came up here In the Flatwoods to forget I guess he couldn’t forget, for be never went back.” The Penrlhunter was sorry he had asked the question. The grave that overlooked the river I Was there not another such grave—not three days old; the orchids upon It still alive!

B,U Mais 4CS0, �Many people in the United States are asking themselves this important question They are wondering what the future holds opt for the people of the United States. They are wondering, and especially the farming class, what the conditions of agriculture will be in this country for the next few years. \ Many farmers have been scared, many are still scared. They have viewed with alarm the great drop in the prices of farm produce and are fearful of the future. Many of them have been so scared that they have either sold their farms or have listed them for sale at prices far below their real value, without slopping to think things over intelli­ gently. What Are The Facts? Well, for one thing, we are feeding in the United States alone one hundred and ten millions of people (to say nothing of a lot more millions in Europe that we are feeding today, and will have to continue to feed). Can you comprehend what that means? That’s a whale of a lot of people. And they qjj have to eat. Every blamed one of these hundred and ten miF lions. Some of them, in the past few months, have not been eating as much of the ham and eggs, the butter and cream, the prime beef and other good things which you raise for them ds they have for the past few years. . You know the reason, don’t you? Well, it’s easy to fig­ ure out. Along in the early winter you, with hundreds of thousands of others like you, all of a sudden stopped buying automobiles, tractors and the thousands of other things which the workers in the shops and factories were making for you. The result was quickly manifest. The automobile factories and thousands of other factories shut down, throwing hundreds of thousands of men out of Work, and those hundreds of thous­ ands of men had to quit buying your good stuff as liberally as they had been doing. They had to confine themselves to the bare necessities of life. What Was The Result? The market on the things which enter into good living was glutted and the prices dropped and then you got scared and stopped all your buying, except for the things you simply had to have. That threw still other men out of work and shortened your market all the more. And your skies became cloudier and you thought everything was going plumb to what Sher­ man said war was, and the scare became still worse. ■ Well, things went from bad to worse and from worse to Chicago, as Mark Twain said. And all without any real reason, except that prices in all lines had to be adjusted to something approximating pre-war levels, and when the adjustment started in earnest a psychological wave swept over the country and nearly everybody stopped buying everything. After a bit, however, the people of the United States commenced to come back to their senses, as they always do if they are given a little time. It’s just like an alarm of fire in a crowded theatre or on a ship at sea. At first there is a sort of panic, but given a few moments for the common sense of the people to get to work­ ing and order is restored and everything works out all right. Gradually the good common sense of the people of the country began to prevail and glimmers of intelligence broke through the dark clouds of gloom. The farmers of the coun­ try, who nearly all had plenty of ready money, got over their stage fright and began to buy such things as they needed, find­ ing prices had reached a normal level on nearly all things. The retail dealers commenced to send orders to their jobbers; the jobbers commenced to send orders to the manufacturers; factories commenced to get under way. The reaction has been gradual, but it is very real, and it is accumulating speed and power. Automobile factories are getting back into production, textile mills are starting their looms and spindles, all other lines are gradually feeling the impulse of returning trade. E. There is only one thing it can mean, and that is that the endless chain which he started will within a short time bring back to him the prosperity which he has started. When men are working full time they will buy for their families whatever they need. The very first thing will be more and better food. What does that mean? Better markets for the products of the farm. It’s really all very simple, isn’t it? And what a lot of boobs we were to get scared in the first place, when there was really nothing to be alarmed about. A reconstruction period follows every war. We are mighty lucky that we are getting over this one so quickly. Now What’s To Be Done? Well, one of the best things to do is to get to digging up the dirt and putting seed into it hnd get to raising stuff for that hundred and ten millions of people to eat. Because they have to eat, and it takes a whale of a lot of stuff to feed them. And do you realize that good farming lands are getting 'mighty scarce in this country? Years ago the government would throw open a new state or two of farm lands for settlement. The government can’t do it any more. They are all gone. That's settled. There will be an occasional small tract made arable by some irrigation project, but these are so small that they won’t amount to a drop in the bucket. Then What Next? The answer is so simple that it replies for itself. The people of the United States must raise more crops on what land they have. We must do more intensive farming. We must give the land better cultivation and better care and raise more and better crops. We are rapidly learning how. The farmer of today is more intelligent, raises better crops, more of them, and makes'more money than the farmer of a generation ago. You know that. Everybody knows it. His future is secure. More secure, in fact, than that of any other business man in the world. And he will make more money year after year, be­ cause he is studying his work, his soil and its possibilities, is studying market conditions and improving them. Now, What’s The Right Thing? Take advantage of the poor boob who is still scared, or of the farmer who has made his pile and wants to retire. Buy his farm, step into his place, and make your future secure and prosperous. * The population of the United States is increasing by leaps and bounds. The tillable lands are practically all in use. Get yours while the price is low, for as sure as the world stands and the population continues to increase, just so surely will prices of farm products rise and become stabilized. No sane man can deny that. All thinking men admit it. The time to buy and become established is while the opportunity is at hand to get splendid farms at nominal prices. The man who thinks good farm lands will ever be any cheaper is the man without vision. The man who really thinks realizes that farm lands will never be any cheaper than they are today, because as prices of farm products rise, so will the acreage price rise. Buy now and profit in the future. Let Us Show You The Way The Light In The Clearing Real Estate E. What Will It Mean To The Farmer? We have for sale some of the finest farms in Central Michigan. Many ot them can be bought on easy terms. Every one of them is worth all and more than the money asked, and the price is sure to increase. There was never a more opportune time to buy. It you are interested, come and see us or write us. We will take pleasure in showing you an inexhaustible gold mine, and that is something that has never yet been found in the hills. Central Michigan farms are today lower in price than any good farm lands in the United States. Give us a chance to prove this to your entire satisfaction. And today, now, this very spring, is the time to buy, be­ fore the rise in price which is sure to come in the near future.

Abraham Cgzler was born at Rock­ sand, Ohio, July 31, 1848. When he was tour years old his parents moved to Nashville. He was unit­ ed in marriage February 4, 1869, to Maggie Croff. To this union three children were born. In 1895 he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his master and since that time has been a diligent worker in His ser­ vice. It has been his privilege fo long know the peace and happiness that comes from a daily walk with Christ. About a year ago he united in fellowship with the Seventh -Day Adventist church. As the later years have come he has suffered from physical ailments, having had two strokes. Sunday, March 13, at ten o'clock, the third stroke came and since that time he has steadily failed. At 15 minutes to six, Friday morning, March 18. he breathed his last. A warrior tried and true had laid down his arms. His was the winning of a glorious victory for the cross of Christ. The day before he was taken he testified to his readiness to meet his Lord, and Bro. Cazier is laid away to rest in the hope of the resurrection. One daughter and three grandchil­ dren mourn their loss. The funeral services were held at the Adventist church Sunday, March 20. with interment at Vermontville. CAftD OF THANKS.

Downing of Vermontville has resigned as postmaster on account of tailing health. It is reported that O. E. McLaughlin, Glenn A. Lake and Mrs. Mae Scarvell are aspirants for the vacancy. A Washington dispatchsays a civil service examina­ tion will soon be ordered for the va­ cancy. It is said that this order, if carried out, will eliminate Mrs. Scarvell from the list of contestants, as the regulations require a perma­ nent residence in a locality longer than she has lived in Vermontville.

STORE AT CHESTER BURNED. The grocery and general store of Manuel W. Amspacher in the village of Chester was struck by lightning during the thunder storm at about 11.00 o'clock Sunday night and de­ stroyed together with contents. The Charlotte fire department responded with four men and hand chemicals but could do nothing. The building was struck In the west end and the wind being from the west the store was a mass of flames in less than half an hour, nothing being saved except the books of the bookkeeping system. The building was worth probably 11,500 and it is reported a $2,500 stock was carried. The in­ surance was about $1,600 on the goods and $1,000 on the building. The heat of the flames was so in­ tense that several windows in the George Ellerton & Company store across the street were broken and the paint on the residences of Mr. Amspacher north of the store and E. D. Smith south of the store was scorched and blistered. This store was an old landmark, having stood for probably over 50 years.—Charlotte Tribune.

The exper­ ience of many Nashville residents, expressed publicly through newspa­ pers and other’sources, places Doan’s Kidney Pills on a firm foundation here. J. G. Deeds, blacksmith, Main St., Nashville, says: "Doan’s Kidney Pills have been my standard remedy for several years for lame back. I get attacks of backache and soreness in the muscles of my hips. At times 1 become so lame 1 don’t feel like stooping over, which 1 have to do a rsat deal in my line of work.

Some bad sash and glass In the win­ dows, some had none; just a swing door to close at night or In a storm. No barn buildings to speak of. We.passed through 18 tunnels— not very pleasant, but novel after all. At Chattanooga we took an 18-passenger sight-seeing car to \ Signal Mountain, a 25 mile drive. Our driver and guide was a full-blooded Irishman., and he kept us laughing half of the time. The road up and around this mountain was macadam all the way. At a distance the moun­ tain looked beautiful, the oaks with their leaves of brown mingling with the green spruce, pine and hemlock. Looking out from under the auto top, one could hardly see the top of the rocks made up In layers of yellow, pink and red, with water pouring from them in many cases. Healthy looking trees grew from the crevices. r When we reached the top of the mountain we found a plat of 5,000 acres, with a new up-to-date city be­ ing built there as fast as possible. They already had electric lights, sew­ — .— — — n mral er system, telephones and w , lovely were homes routes. ,Many being built by rich men, and a fine hotel with 250 rooms, each with bath,* 50 without, 2 large dining rooms, a party dining room and a ballroom. We ascended to the foot and enjoyed a fine view. The Ten­ nessee river looked like a creek, and men in boats like ducks. In descending the mountain the road turned such sharp curves that our car had to back on the corners to get abound, and just over the edge it dropped hundreds of feet straight down. The road showed or formed the letters W. U. and 8. In the afternoon we took the same car for Mission Ridge and the battle fields, a very interesting but sad trip.* We drove over the field where 16,­ 000 men lost their lives in three hour's fighting. The driver’s father said that after the battle he could walk all over the field just on dead bodies. Beautiful monuments have been erected all over the fields, evry state in the union being represent­ ed. By the time we got back to the National cemetery It was dark and we failed to see that. The next afternoon we took anoth­ er large car for Lookout Mountain. The trip from the bottom to the top of this mountain is over 7 miles, and in places it was so steep I really did not enjoy it. Here and there on the mountain side were small houses, and very small patches of cultivated ground. You know Lookout Mt. is 85 miles long and lays in 3 different states—Georgia, Alabama and Ten­ nessee. On clear days one can see seven different states from the top. but it was cloudy when we were there. On our return trip we passed over the bridge over the inclined railway, and stopped and watched the cars. It was a great sight; when nearly at the top they seemingly stand on end. We left Chattanooga the next morning, and passed through vast areas of waste land in Georgia and Florida. Stopped at Jacksonville one day and visited the ostrich and alligator (arms. Saw some very nice birds. Arrived at Stuart at 8.30. stayed there all night, and came by truck to Palm City in the morning. The climate here is ideal; it is really too warm today for comfort, but there is such a fine breeze usual­ ly that one doesn't mind the heat. Those who want to work can have lovely yards here, as the palms and large foliage bushes with gorgeous colored poinsettias and roses are very beautiful. Cabbage head palms are as thick over this state as the maples at home. Then there are the banana palms, the cocoanut palms and oth- The fruit Is fine, -and we surely have done justice to it.

It real­ ly is nearly warm enough for dish­ water when you pump It. and In fact gets cooler as It stands. A Mr. Hall, who lives In the Church cottage, says he has dis­ covered how they get their living down here. He says they skin alli­ gators in summer and northerners in the winter, and I guess he has it right. We pay 25c for milk, 12.40 for potatoes, 58c for eggs. 95c for butter; strawberries are 70c a quart here, and >1.25 at Palm Beach. Fresh meats are high too. Mrs. W. B. Bera. HALE DISPLAYS BIQ BASS.

Scott of Perry, Ohio, informing us of his acceptance of the unanimous call to the pas­ torate recently extended him, was re­ ceived a few hours too late for an­ nouncement in last week's issue of The News. As Rev. Scott will de­ vote his full time to the ministry of the local church and comes to us highly recommended as an affable Christian gentleman and successful pastor, ae well as a splendid speaker and sermonlzer, we are looking for­ ward to the accomplishment of big things under the experienced lead­ ership of our new pastor, who plans to be on the field by Muy 1st. This date also marks the beginning of a new year of the missionary activities of our denomination in America. Acting pastor Burns was called to Lincoln, Neb., by the serious illness of an aged brother. Easter was observed last Sunday morning with appropriate music and a short address in keeping with the day by our Sunday school superin­ tendent, C. S. Carpenter.

When w© buy fruits in the open market we soxnetimvs wonder if th* dealfft* is really making the tremend­ ous profits with which he is edit­ ed. The fact has been made public that it is cheaper to ship fruits from Af­ rica than it is to send them by rail fiom California-to New York. It is said that a bale of goods can be shipped by water from New York to South America for leas than It costs to transport it from one side of the City of New York to the other. What’s the matter with our rail­ road system, anyway? The exorbitant freight rates in this country are a burden to the peo­ ple. and there appears-to be no re­ lief in sight. With all of our vaunted intelli­ gence, we do not seem to have bralna enough to evolve a system of distri­ bution that would do credit to a Fi­ ji Islander. Some day, perhaps, stockholders our railroads will realize that a lot of useless "officials" are being carried on the payrolls at high sal­ aries. They may even come to the conclusion that the services of- half the number might be readily dispen­ sed with, and that a reduction of about 50 per cent in the salaries of the remaining "higher ups” would be more in keeping with the cash value of their services. This is a good month In which to begin worrying about what the next month will bring forth. GLYCERINE MIXTURE PREVENTH APPENDICITIS.

The Easter services at the church Sunday night were so good that It was a disappointment in having so light an attendance./which we hope we may attribute to the prevalence of smallpox. . A miserable day and the number of sick ones that' would have attend­ ed otherwise kept all but 26 from en­ joying a splendid good time and a grand dinner at the L. A. 8. meet­ ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed­ win Tyler, last Friday. Smallpox is so well seeded here­ abouts that most of the people have about quit trying Jo dodge it and are taking pot luck with fate in avoid­ ing it, which may be a good way to look at it at that. Well, next Monday is election day. and while every one should make it a part of their duty to vote at every election possible, the ladies have taken upon themselves this duty al­ so and It applies even more to them as it was to purity the ballot tha they insisted on equal suffrage, and anything that will accomplish that one thing is what we all want so much that we beg their co-operation at every election.

He had lived the past few years at Lan­ sing, where he was employed in the Reo shops.

Without raising his eyes ns far ns th«’ pocket, he gnthlied up n handful or two nf the brightest, straws nnd turned bnck to the horse. “Khort rations tonight.

The fnsk completed. ; he laid hark the bnisli nnd curry comb, nnd, lifting the feet of the horse, examined them one by one. nail .by nail, aftenvnrd running his hands down the horse's limbs and Hngerlng over each Joint, finally summing up the Inspection by listening with no little care to the nniinni’s breathing. It was the work of n muster. The In­ spection over, he took the saddle down from the wall, threw It on the horse, drew the girths, hung the bridle on the horn, unstrapped his spurs from the back of the saddle and buckled them • to his heels. “I wish I knew.” he muttered, half to himself, apparently half to his dumb companion, as he waited for the animal to finish his supper. “Whether that Pearlhunter has left. It looks like he had. And yet. that's not like hla breed—to cut out. Still, -there's always a chance.” He seemed to meditate; flung up his head with a bitter grimace and a toss of his hand.

The Red Mask looked down at the fast d'ranpearlng provider before the horse, walked tack and forth across the cave a time or two. turned and stood for a moment or two fum­ bling behind the oak root where It had been tied. “That sheriff." He straightened, threw up h!s h<-ad and laughed boister­ ously. “He couldn’t find a lost ele­ phant. let alone a wonderful, wee lit­ tle drop of distilled witchery like this." From the dry clav and shale back of the oak roof bp had drawn forth a small plush box. With the word “thia" he blew the dust off. and pushed in the catch. The lid flipped up. On the -tiny cushion lay the Blue Moon twinkling In the candle-light, not un­ like the princess that waked up In the cave of the <lragon. At last came the sheriff's nudge. The Peurlbunter quietly passed his re­ volver over. There couldn't have been a sound In the act louder than the drawing of a breath, hut somehow It must have reached the man by the horse. There came a change over his face—a change so slight as to be as good as imperceptible; to be felt rather than seen. Had he so much as glanced toward the pocket back of the hay. the Pearlhunter would have acted on the Instant But he didn’t ginnee that way. Very leisurely he closed the box, put It In his vest pocket and looked down to see If the horse hud finished his supper. The Penrihunter wns In the act of pressing against tho knee of the sheriff In sign that the time had come. when, totally without a warning sound, with­ out the slightest preliminary motion, there came a shot from behind the hnrse that dashed the candle out. The shot wns followed by a scuffle of feet. The Poarlhnnter leaned the hay nnd charged through the dense dark straight at the horse. It wasn’t there. From the passage came the clatter of hoofs. • Followed by the stumbling sheriff, he groped his way to the mouth of the passage. He was barely In time to hear a splash, and the click of steel upon the rocks of the pool. CHAPTER XIV. Man to Man and an Even Draw. The cfindle lingered long that night In the cabin nf the three gables. The old man was more than usually rest­ less. The girl hoven-d about his chn’r eonstnntlv. She succeeded at Inst In coaxing him down in his chair, where he sat groaning; mumbling In h!s board; and whetting the knife on the palm of his hand. She. hnd smoothed the cushions behind his head and stood stroking his face with her hand, when, without the li*ast warning, the door fleta- open, nnd. sharply outlined against the dark background of the night, a man with a red mask over his face stalked across the threshold. He was. of course quite unaware that the giri nlreadv knew btq Identity. That probably explained why be had put on the ma«k.

The knife harely grazed win* It was meant to kill. F.efore the gra Again. giant could recover his ponderous strength to strike again, the Red Mask had him by the wrist, and. seemingly unwilling to risk the sound of a shot, was raining blows upon ills bead with the butt of his heavy revolver. It was a horrible thing to see. The girl stood with laced tiugera. helpless with hor­ ror. The first blow brought the blood frtreaming out over the white hair and disabled the old man so frightfully that he ceased the struggle and stood quivering. But the merciless ann atr’mk again nnd again until the vast frame dnsipod. shrank tn'adher. the knife fell from his fingers, his knees gave way aud he sank groaning to the floor—writhed, siralghicned aud lay still. The revolver wns foul with blood and gray hair. The murdepT noticed It, hastily wi|M.*d it away on u corner of the fallen uian's. <*<»ut. thniMt It ba<-k Into Ids fHM-ket and raced the girl. The spell was broken. She started as .If from a nightmare and sprang back of the chair. Like a man pressi-d for time, he dashetl after her. With the chair between them, she managed for a bare moment to keep beyond his hands. He kicked the chair out of the way. She darted toward the kitchen door, probably with the hope of escaping to the woods, but he was too close to her. She whirled toward the door of the bedroom. The turn was fatal. His hands reached her and drove her back Into the corner of the room a» the head of the couch. She fought as only a woman fights —for a stake Infinitely higher than life Itself. Since time began the earth has staged that struggle. Her dress was torn, her body hrulwd. her hands gradually driven together behind her back; a hot wild face near her own. A step creaked the plank at the door. Her assailant whirled at the sound and she sank panting against the wall. Just Inside the door, his body crouched forward. Ids lips tight drawn, stood the tall form of the I’earlhunter. Things happenwl so fast in the next distant that words are too slow to keep up with them. It was man to man. and an even draw. The .two shots came so close together that the "hills out through the open door caught but one echo. But the shot from the door struck first—a scant little mite of an Insunt first—and Jarred the aim of the other a trifle high. The shot from the corner merely clipped a bandage at the top of the Pearlhunteris shoul­ der. drew a little welt on the skin, and whistled harmlessly away into the night. The bullet from the door evi­ dently found the core of the target. The Red Mask bent backward. The revolver drap|>ed tc his side. He tried to raise It again; seemed surprised that he couldn't. He laughed oddly, and swore; stared round toward'the girl; gas|»ed and choked. The revolver slipped from his fingers. He groped with his bands, as If searching the air for It; staggered, caught himself, tottered, pitched heavily to the floor. Tlie girl edged out of the comer past his body aud threw herself upon the form of the old man. The Pearl­ hunter eased down the hammer of his revolver, thrust it back Into his pock­ et, and stooped tieside her. At the touch of his hand, she raised her head and knelt stroking the still face and crying softly. The Penrihunter opened the old man's coat and felt over his heart, A “He's alive r TOBACtX) AM) ITS FKICE. Why Recall Pt Ires an- 'Met Affected by the Decline in Southern Tobacco—Other Fact- That, the Public Should Know. A great deal has recently been said in *Che public press criticizing cigar manufacturers for retaining their present' standard of prices on cigars in the face of the reported slump in prices for Burley and kindred types of Southern tobaccos. . The real genesis of this criticism was the publicity given to the»recent comedown .of prices for leaf tobac­ co in the Southern tobacco market, coupled with the fact that the pub­ lic does not seem to know, in the first place, that the tobacco of Ken­ tucky, Tennessee, Virginia and the Carolinas are not the types of tobac­ co used for cigars, and. In the sec­ ond place, that no type of leaf to­ bacco can begin to be worked by the manufacturer until from one to two years (in the case of cigar leaf) and from two to three years (in the case of cigarettes and other tobacco pro­ ducts) after it has passed out of the grower's hands. It Kentucky tobacco was selling at only a cent a pound, it would have not the slightest influence upon Shadegrown Connecticut cigar wrappers which are now selling at |5.00 a lb., or upon any of the cigar leaf types, such as Havana. Sumatra, Java, Georgia. Florida. New York State, Pennsylvania Wisconsin and Ohio, for the tobaccos of Kentucky end neighboring states are not- and can­ not be used for cigar purposes. Moreover, even in the case of cig­ arettes and plug and other manu­ factured tobaccos, which are, in truth, made of Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia and Carolina leaf, the expectations for reduced prices, because of the lower cost of leaf tobacco, are similarly founded on public misinformation. The fact is, that the crops of tobacco now be­ ing marketed in these states will not and cannot be available for manu­ facturing into cigarettes and tobac­ cos until 1922 or 1923. And this Is not merely because manufactur­ ers choose to carry large reserve stocks of tobacco for their own pro­ tection, but because the nature of leaf tobacco requires that it be cur­ ed and aged for a period ranjring from one to three years before it is fit for manufacturing purposes. That the prices on cigars, ciga­ rettes and tobacco do not decline along with most other products for the same basic reason that they did not increase along with most other products, namely, because the raw material—leaf tobacco—Is never suitable and Is not available for man­ ufacturing purposes until from one to three years after It passes from the grower's bands; and also, In the case of cigara, because the cigar types of leaf tobacco have not yet declined In price. And lastly, that a good part of the purchase price of every package ot cigarettes, tobacco and cigars is the Internal Revenue Tax—imposed by the War Revenue Law which is still in force; that the taxes on cigars, plus the duties on imported cigars or on the imported tobacco used In domestic cigars, run from about half a cent to over 9 cents on each cigar; that the taxes on cigarettes amount to 3 cents on each package of 10. and b cents on each package of 20, while the tax on tobacco is 1 1-8 cents on each one-ounce, or 2 1-4 cents on each two-ounce package. When these facts become known to the man who uses tobacco, as they are known to the man who makes it, the great mystery of why tobacco I prices have not yet hit the toboggan • will be a mystery no more.

They felt the American peo­ ple were not sympathetic with hu­ man suffering unless it was found in their own country, and that no such amount would ever be spent elsewhere. That vast amount has now been raised, and these pathetic little waifs of tragedy are carried through un­ til another harvest, when their need i may be greatly relieved. The people of Europe feel emblt- ' tered toward this country, tor mak-1 ing money out of their misery. But several millions of young folks saved by this gift, will say, “No, it is ,hot true that America cares only for dol­ lars. They saved my Hie when they had nothing to gain by it.” | The Bible says "Cast thy bread up­ on the waters and it shall return: unto thee after manykdays.” The !>eople of Barry county who have contributed toward this noble cause, will nevei regret the sacrifice. - ■ .

At 7.30 the program will take place in the church auditorium. Mrs. Rufus, a returned missionary from Korea, and her 14-year-old son, Howard, will give the program. Mrs. Rufus is an elocutionist and Howard is a violin­ ist of rare ability. The Ann Arbor Times has this to say of Howard: “An audience esti­ mated at 2,000 persons, attended the concert given under the auspices of the University school of Music at Hill auditorium last evening. How­ ard Rufus, 14-year-old student of the violin, under Anthony J. Whitmire, proved one of the most popular en­ tertainers. Rufus rendered the ‘Souvenir De Lubec’ by Riecken and. as an encore, 'Souvenir', by Drdla. Both selections were well .received. In au entertainment at Albion the Al­ bion College Pleiad said Young Ru­ fus proved himself a master of his instrument.' A silver collection will be taken, which will be given to Mrs. Rufus and son.

Little Jimmy Godfrey, aged 13. climbed a tree—out in Kansas City —to gatber walnuts. He came In contact with an electric wire. One side of his face was burned, leaving an ugly scar. A damage suit against the power and light company was in­ stituted on Jimmy's behalf. The. chief element of damage about which the claim centered was that Jimmy had lost his youthful smile. On the witness stand. Jimmy was asked to try to smile. The only result was a puckering of the lips and a melan­ choly drawing of the face. A phy­ sician testified that the smile mus­ cle In his cheek had been bound by the scarred tissue above. The jury promptly returned a verdict giving Jimmy $20,000.

A Young Man's Fancy Turns Thoughts of Holy Socks. । I don’t much care if tlie girl be fair Of face or not. or if her hair Be done in shocks or close-bobbed locks. If she can only mend my socks. ’Though Love’s young dream of Spring may seem To be a choice poetic theme. I’ll take a prose, unclassic nose If she can only mend my hose. A figure slim, an ankle trim. Vivacity, petiteness, vim— They mean a lot I know, but not Till I’ve had darned the socks I’ve If you could see the way Sing Lee Treats my silk hose you’d quite * agree That if a bachelor could catch A girl who'd sew and darn and patch. He wouldn’t kick if she were chick. But, yea or nay, he’d grab her quick And risk the strife of married life. B(^t cynics 'vow that such a wife Is out of date. Ah, cruel Fate! That man should thus Be born too late!

It was bad enough here, plenty, but In Woodland and Suntielff^cnd the north part of Castleton' and* Vermontville town ships there wds much greater dam­ age. While we had a hard rain here it amounted to almost a cloudburst farther north, bridges and fences be­ ing swept away and low lands badly Inundated. Many farmers were out rescuing stock from drowning, and travel over the highways was ren­ dered In many cases impossible. Automobiles were stranded in every direction and many roads are still impassable. Fortunately the wind while of terrific force, was not in the nature of a tornado and did com­ paratively little damage. RARE • MENT. On complaint of Mrs. McPeck, warrants’ were served on Marvin Sheldon and Ergo Hart, the former being charged with assault and-bat­ tery and the latter with assault with intent.to do great bodily harm. The Sheldon case will be heard in Jus­ tice Barnum’s court at Hastings and was set for today,' but will probably be adjourned. The Hart case will go to circuit court. Both boys have given bonds' for their appearance. The arrests grew out of an al­ tercation'which the boys had last week with Mrs. McPeck. Hart rents a barn of the widow. She lock­ ed up the barn. Hart got an axe and smashed the lock. Then trouble arrived on the scene and there was more or less rough and tumble,- word and actions, which will now be aired in court. Many Nashville people will be summoned as witnes­ ses, while others will go for the en­ tertainment the case is expected to provide. HKOM1SE8 TOO MUCH HARD CIDER. Clinton Allen, who has. pestered the officers considerably tor some time past by boisterous conduct on the streets, was arrested Sunday eve­ ning by Marshal Bera and spent the night in jail. Monday morning he plead guilty In Justice White’s court to a charge of being drunk, and was assessed a fine of ten dollars and costs, amounting to >14,70, with the alternative of spending thirty days in the county jail. After several hours he managed to skirmish the required amount and settled. This may be a lesson to this youngs man, and also to several others, who have taxed the patience of the authorities for the past year or two. FATHER AND HON BANQUET. A number of Nashville men with real or borrowed sons will attend a ’’Fathers and Sons” banquet at the Methodist church at Hastings Fri­ day night. Dr. M. S. Rice of Detroit will be the principal speaker, and Dr. B. C. Swift of Middleville will be the toastmaster. This banquet is preliminary* to an active campaign of Y. M. C..A, work in the county, under direction of Mr. Angell, the new Y. M. C. A. county secretary. FIRE DAMAGES RESIDENCE.

About fifty people in the district were present and are to be commended on their hearty co-opera­ tion In this worthy work. Beauty and kitchen floors. lie Kitchen floors, gleaming with soft lustre and immaculate beauty are quite possible if you coat your linoleum with FLOORENE, the durable varnish. FLOORENE brightens up your kitchen, makes it a glad place to t A nA in it rivM cook in. And in tirrtir your botlirnnnn bathroom,’ it gives to that clean, after-the-bath feeling just twice as much zest. \ Linoleum coated with FLOORER wears longer than you ever though could wear. And the pattern, refrla by the clear, durable varnish, has *x hfe, and retains its color for many more seasons. You need not have dull, worn spots in front of the stove or the sink or bath-tub, if you use FLOORENE. FLOORENE will liven up every painted surface as well as linoleum. It puts a fresh glow on old furniture — that chair that has been discarded, or that table which is not good enough for company to see any more. When you want to clean FLOOR­ ENE finishes, you use soap and water. Durable FLOORENE is not afraid of an honest washing. Make FLOORENE part of your spring • hohsecl eaning equipment. The dealer or the painter will tell you about it. Ask them.

You take the planter, use good seed, wait till the corn comes up—if planter has not done the work, and done it right, bring it back. Take no chances. That’s the way we do business. CARD OF THANKS.

"That 1 happened to find myself near here, nnd came on chance of seeing her?" Once again the smile was railed into play, nnd tlie girl hesitated no longer. "Will you come Inside, sir?" she said. "I will go ami tell Miss Phyllis." She ushered him Into the draw­ ing-room and closed the door. It was a charming room, just such as he would have expected with Phyllis. Big windows, opening down to the ground, led out on to a |awn, which was al­ ready a blaze of color. A few great oak trees threw a pleasant shade at the end of the garden, and partially showing through them, he could see another bouse which he rightly as­ sumed was The Elms.

"It's very dangerous for you to come here," she remarked quietly. “If once those men suspect anything. God knows what will hap­ pen." It was on the tip of his tongue to tell her that It was too late to worry about that*; then he changed his mind. "And what Is there suspicious," he asked, “in an old friend who happens to be in the neighborhood dropping in to rail? Wherefore your telephone message? What’s the worry?” She Jilt her lip and drummed with her fingers on the arm of the chair.

It Is to be feared that the question of Lakington and his com­ panions was not engrossing J)rummond's mind, ns it doubtless should have been, to the exclusion of all else. "They’re so utterly unscrupulous,” she continued hurriedly, "so fiendishly clever, that even you would be a child In their hands." Hugh endeavored to dissemble his pleasure at that little word "even” and only succeeded In frowning hor­ ribly. “I will be discretion Itself," he as­ sured her firmly. "I suppose 1 shall have to trust you." she said. "Haye you seen the evening papers today?" “I looked at the ones that come out In the morning labeled six p. m.; be­ fore I hnd lunch." he answered. "Is there anything of Interest?" She handed him a copy of tne Planet. "Read that little paragraph In the second column.” She pointed to It. as he took the paper, and Hugh rend It aloud. “Mr. Hiram C. Potts—the celebrat­ ed American millionaire—Is progress­ ing favorably. He has gone Into the country for a few days, but is suf­ ficiently recovered to conduct business as usual." He laid down the paper and looked nt the girl sitting opposite. “One Is pleased." he remarked In a puzzled tone, “for the sake of MK Potts.

" ’Suf­ ficiently recovered to conduct business as usual.* ” “If he is sufficiently recovered to conduct business as usual, why did he send his confidential secretary away yesterday morning on an urgent mis­ sion to Belfast?" “Search me." said Hugh. "Inci­ dentally. how do you know he did?" "I asked at the Carlton this morn­ ing.” she answered. "I wild I'd come after a job as typist for Mr. Potts. They told me at rhe Inquiry office that he was ill In bed and unable to see anybody. So I asked for bls- secre­ tary, and they told me what I’ve just told you—that he had left for Belfast that morning and would be away sev­ eral days.

At length he reniaeed the scrap, in hln pocket-book and rang the bell. “James,” he remarked as his serv­ ant came In: “You’d better know that as far as I can see we’re up against a tough proposition." "Indeed, rir.” murmured his servant “The gentleman Is asking for you, sir.” Mrs. Denny’s voice from the door made them lobk round. Hugh walked quickly along the pass­ age to the room wherd the million­ aire lay In bed. , “How are you feeling?” said Drum­ mond cheerfully. The man stnred nt him uncomprebendlngiy, and shook his head. . "Do you remember last nlgfatF Hugh continued, ^peaking very slowly and distinctly. Then a sudden Idea struck him and he pulled the-scrap of paper out of his case. "Do you re­ member signing that?” For a while the man looked at it; then with' a sudden cry of fear he shrank away. “No, no,” he muttered, not again.” Hugh hurriedly replaced the paper. “Bad break on my part, old bean; you, evidently remember rather too well.

But what little flash of remem­ brance had pierced the drug-clouded brain seemed to liave passed; the man only stared dazedly at the speak­ er. Drummond tried him with a few more questions, but it was no use, and after a while he gut up and moved toward the door. "Don’t you worry, old sou,”- be said with a smile. “We’ll have you jump­ ing pbout like a two-year-old in a couple of days.” Then he paused; the man was evi­ dently trying to say something. “What la it you want?" Hugh leant over the bed. “Danger, danger." Faintly the words came, and then, with a sigh, he lay back exhausted. With a g?lm smile Drummond watched the motionless figure. “I’m afraid." he said lialf aloud, “that you’re rather like your medical attendant Your only contribution to the sphere of pure knowledge * is something I know already.” He went out and quietly closed the door. And as he re-entered his sit­ ting-room he found his servant stand­ ing motionless behind one of the cur­ tains watching the street below. ••There’s a man, sir,” he remarked without turning around, “watching the house." For a moment Hugh stood still, frowning. Then he gave a short laugh. “Tlie devil there is!" he re­ market!. 'The game has begun in earnest, my worthy warrior, with the first nine points to us. For posses­ sion. even of a seml-dnzed lunatic, is nine points of the law. Is it not, James?” . * TWO. At twelve o’clock precisely the bell rang, announcing a visitor, and Drum­ mond looked up, us bls servant came Into the room. “Yes, James." he remarked, “I think we are at home. I want you to remain within call, and under no cir­ cumstances let our sick visitor out of your sight for more tffiin a minute. Tn yfact, I think you'd better sit In his room." James, with a curt “Very , good, sir,” left the room. Almost at once he returned, and flinging open the door, announced Mr. Peterson. Drummond looked up quickly nnd ruse with a smile. “Good morning." he cried, "This la a very pleasant surprise, Mr. Peter­ son." He waved his visitor to a chair. “Hope you’ve had no more trouble with your car." Mr. Peterson drew off his gloves, smiling amiably.' “None at all, thank you, Captain Drummond.

Peterson flicked the ash frtmi h!s cigarette. Into the grate. “Shall we come to the point. Captain Drum­ mond?" hfe remarked affably. Hugh . looked bewildered. “The point, Mr. Peterson?

T felt certain that you rtere a young man of discernment,” he remarked, “and I wouldn't like to keep you from your paper a minute longer than nec­ essary.” “Not a bit," cried Hugh. “My thn? is yours—though I’d very much like to know your real opinion of The Juggernaut for the Chester cup. It seems to me that he’cannot afford to give Sumatra seven pounds uu their form up to date." "Are you .interested in gambling?" asked Peterson politely. “A mild flutter, Mr. Peterson, every now and then," returned Drummond. “Strictly limited stakes." “If you confine yourself to that you will come to no harm,” said Pe­ terson. “It Is when the stakes be­ come unlimited that the danger of a crash becomes unlimited too." “That Is what my mother always told me," remarked Hugh. “She eyen went further, dear good woman that she was. 'Never bet except on a cer­ tainty, my boy,' was her constant ad­ vice, 'and then put your shirt on!' I can hear her saying it now, Mr. Peterson, with the golden rays of the setting sun lighting .up her sweet face." Peterson leant forward In his chair. "Young man," he remarked, “we've got to understand one another. Last night you butted In on my plans, and I do not like people who do that. By an act which, I must admit, apjtealed to me greatly, you removed something I require—something, moreover, which I Intend to have.

Drummond gazed at the speaker open-mouthed. “My dear sir," he pro­ tested feebly, “you overwhelm me. Are you really accusing me of being a sort of wild west show?" He wag­ gled a finger at Peterson. “You know you’ve been to the movies too mucli, like my fellah, James. He's got re­ volvers and things on the brain." Peterson's face was absolutely Im­ passive; save for a slightly tired smile It was expressionless. “Final­ ly, Captain Drummond, you tore In half a piece of paper which I re­ quire—and removed a very dear old friend of my family, who Is now In this house. I want them both back, please, and if you like I’ll take them now." Drummond shrugged his shoulders resignedly. ’There is something about you, Mr. Peterson," he mtirmured, “which 1 like.

"A pity—because there would have been no truce of him by now.” "Might be awkward for you." mur­ mured Hugh. “Such metliods. Mr. Peterson, are Illegal, you know. May I offer you a drink?" Peterson declined courteously. '“Thank you—not nt this hour.” Then he rose. "I take It,- then, that you will not return me my property here and now.’ “Btlll the same delusion I see.'" re­ marked Hugh with a smile. “Still the same delusion.” repeated Peterson. “I shall be ready to re­ ceive both the nane- and the mnn up till six o’clock tonight at 32A Berners cinatrd.

He might have been an ordinary visitor taking ids leave. And then suddenly from the room outride which Denny was dusting there came a low moaning and an lncoherent babble. A quick frown passed over Drummond’s face, and Peterson regarded him thoughtfully “An invalid In the house?" he re­ marked. “How Inconvenient for you!” He laid his band for a moment on the soldier's arm. "I sadly fear you’re going to make-a fotri of yourself. And It will be such a pity.” He turned toward the stairs.

BROWN The Penslar Store The 43rd annual convention of the Barry County W. C. T. U. met at the M. E. church in -Nashville. May 5 and 6. Delegates were present from many townships of the county. Mrs. Floy McDermott, county president presided at most of the sessions. Thursday morning report.* were given by Sirs. Bessie Woodman on "Sabbath Observance." She gave good plans for a better observance of the day and the convention vot­ ed to send petitions to the mayor of Hastings, asking that Sunday bail games on the fair grounds be stop­ ped. Mrs. Gail Lykins and Mr*. Clark Titmarsh sang- a’ duet. "I need my Father's .Tender Care." very pleas­ ingly. Mrs. Maude Deetrick sent her re­ port on "Jail and Almshouse Work" and it was read by Mrs. Celia Pennok. Mrs. Alice Lawrence in her talk on "Systematic Giving” made a strong plea for more tithing. Mrs. Louise Lathrop gave a well-prepar­ ed paper on the "Relation of Tem­ perance and Missions." She said the money spent for powder and per­ fume would go a long ways to help evangelize the world while that spent for tobacco would solve all the problems of all the missionaries. Mrs. Maude Zerbel sent a report of preas work done In the County. Tho memorlaJ service was conr ducted by Mrs. Alice' Lawrence. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Stella Rodgers talked of the value of "Ad­ vertising the Success of Prohibition." Mrs. Addie Edmunds sent her paper on "Harmonize the State and Na­ tional Law" and it was read by Miss Woodburne. "How to Make Public Sentiment," was discussed by Mts. Celia Pennock, "Our Helps," by Mrs. Bertha Bush. The feature of the afternoon was the address on "Social Morality and the Juvenile Courts," by Probate Judge Ella C. Eggleston. It waa voted that her paper should be print- WE CAN’T AFFORD BAD RDADH. Just because a construction gang is working on the Covert road north from Nashville is no reason w'hy we should be satisfied .with present con­ ditions of other roads, in this part of the county. It takes a long time and lots of en­ ergy to get road building started and every possible effort should be bent to getting preliminary work . under, way on other badly needed highway construction. Furthermore, the country dirt roads, which we must put up with until we can get gravel or paved roads built,' should receive the best possible attention and be placed in such condition that traffic over them is possible In ail kinds of weather. Township boards should bear in mind that they have no more ’im­ portant work than that of highway ■ mprovemeut. More time and mon­ ey are lost to the farmers of this coMuuto- through poor roads than through any other single agency. There is no doubt about it. Stop to consider what a farmer's time is worth per hour in the busy season of the spring, and what the time of his team is worth. And that is the very time of the year when the roads are the worst and it takes him the longest to go to town and back home. When it takes half a day to make a trip that should be made In two hours, there is a loss to that farmer that is hard to measure in dollars und cents, but it means considerable. If the roads were passable, he could make the trip in an hour or leas.In usual distances from home to Lown, but when the roads are im­ passable for an ^uto, as most of them were this spring, and he must go Mrs. Sackett, accompanied by Mrs. with a team if at all, and the roads Dora Nelson, sang.

There are 92 U.S. Factory Branches. Each one gets its share of U. S. Tires. There is a broad, constant, even dis­ tribution of U. S. Tires always going on from these Branches to the dealer. His opposite is the hard­ pan car owner who sticks year in and year out to a standard brand as the only rational economy. Buy a U. S. Tire anywhere —in a community of500people or even less—and you get a fresh, live tire of current production—with all the orig­ inal service and mileage the factory put into it. Many will remember the scarcity of U. S. Tires last year. The owner of a medium or light-weight car stands on equal ground with every other car owner. A hardship at the time, but a bene­ fit now.

In his mad career he ran over and demolished Fred Bak­ er’s bicycle and just missed i 'kid “ on the walk. When the car finally stopped the Judge was so excited that he made his exit from the car without even stopping to open the door, smashing his derby in his haste. He succeeded in loosening the darn clutch and hopped off the walk and got away, but Mrs. Kidder refused to ride home with him; de­ ciding she would take v chance on the steam cars.

I 0 We have been asked why this Company deemed it necessary to levy an assessment ot 30 cents on each $100 insured. The question is a fair one and we will aim to answer it frankly, and it is a question that every member of this Company is entitled to know about. We ansv. er as follows, and we hope every member of this Company and everyone thinking of taking out Windstorm Insurance will read it carefully. OUR CONDITION JANUARY 1, 1920 il a At the close of business, Dec. 31, 1919, this Com­ pany had about $100,000 cash on hand. In 1920 we levied an assessment of 20 cents on each 5-100 insured which brought us in a little over $340,000. Our bal­ ance on hand of $100,000 and the $340,000 brought in from the assessment, would make a total of prac­ tically $440,000. We thought, from our past expe­ rience, that this would be sufficient to pay all of our losses and expenses for the year of 1920, and would probably leave us with a good balance. But the year of 1920 was by far the hardest one that this Company ever experienced. It will be re­ membered that two cyclones swept across the State ON THE SAME DAY, leaving paths of ruin and de­ struction in their wakes. Our Losses for 1920 Were Over a Half Mil Hon Dollars —$564,149.84 to be Exact In addition to this was the expense of adjusting these losses, amounting to $24,628.37. Interest on borrowed money cost us $10,000.00. In addition to all this was the new equipment, and the extra clerk hire we had to have in order to care for-the $85,000,- a ♦* fla 000 new insurance we wrote, and to look after the large losses we sustained. And still in addition to all this was our regular office and clerical expense. January 1st, 1921, We Owed $223,000 Due to Our Heavy Losses We closed the year of 1920 with a deficit of about $223,000, which of itself is equivalent to nearly 10 cents oh each $100 insurance in our Company. Now what was the WISE thing to do; what was the BUSINESS thing to do? You don't want to carry your insurance in a Company where if you meet with a loss, you cannot get your insurance within a reasonable time after you meet with a loss. When you meet with a loss you want to be in a Company that will PAY YOU, and they should pay you IN FULL, up to the amount of your policy, just as soon as your loss can be ADJUSTED. After careful de­ liberation the Directors of this Company decided that it would be a GOOD BUSINESS POLICY to levy an assessment of 30 cents on each $100 insured. This enabled us to pay off our indebtedness of $223,­ 000, and also left us with a nice balance of cash on hand, which we should have at the beginning of each year. Above are the reasons WHY we levied the ’ assessment of 30 cents on each $100 insured. It was the RIGHT thing to do; it was the BUSINESS thing to do. This Company has grown so large that it CANNOT AFFORD to go into a new year without a good sized balance of cash on hand. This Company is in the Best Condition it Was Ever in RIGHT NOW We’ve paid our deficit and have over $335,000 in cash deposited in many of the banks of this state and it’s DRAWING INTEREST. But what our los­ ses will be NO MAN CAN TELL. The ONLY thing, and the BEST thing, that we can do is to BE PRE­ PARED for what may come—and we are prepared. We are in the BEST condition financially, RIGHT NOW, that we have ever been in, and in reaching this condition we have had nothing but the best in­ terests of this Company and its members at heart. Our books are audited regularly; we are under the jurisdiction of the State Insurance Dept of Michigan; we have been complimented many times for the ex­ cellent system we have installed for looking after our business, and no Company of this kind has a bet­ ter one; and for a Company of its size, the second! largest of its kind in the world, it is very conserva­ tively managed. >' , M.

Kitchen floors, gleaming with soft lustre and immaculate beauty are quite possible if you coat your linoleum with FLOORENE, the durable varnish. FLOORENE brightens up your kitchen, makes it a glad place to cook in. And in your bathroom, it gives to that clean, after-the-bath feeling just twice as much zest. Linoleum coated with FLOORENE wears longer than you ever thought it could wear. And the pattern, refreshed by the clear, durable varnish, has new life, and retains its color for many more seasons. You need not have dull, worn spots in front of the stove or the sink or bath-tub, if you use FLOORENE. FLOORENE will Mven up every painted surface as well ns linoleum. It puts a fresh glow on old furniture — that chair that has been discarded, or that table which is not good enough for company to see any more. When you want to clean FLOOR­ ENE finishes, you use soap and water. Durable FLOORENE is nqt afraid oC an honest washing. Make FLOORENE part of your spring housecleaning equipment.

Yet we had a law suit in Nashville Tuesday that was set­ tled on its merits, without any little bit of help from any lawyer at all. There are a number of good paints, but none better and few as good as B. P. S. When you buy paint the price is of least importance, as there is littte dif­ ference in price among strictly lead and oil paints; the coet of labor is about three times the cost of the paint, and it costs more to apply cheap paint than to apply the best. The plaintiff, an able and talented lady with a handy tongue, conducted her own case. The defense was rep­ resented by all of the defendants and many of their relatives and friends. The judge asked questions, the jury asked questions, the plaintiff and the witnesses argued the case pro and con, the spectators lipped in occas­ ionally, and the case finally went to the jury, who undoubtedly under­ stood the true inwardness and all the facts in the case just as well as they would had there been a dozen lawyers participating, and rendered a verdict which must have been emi­ nently fair and right, because every­ body interested seems to be satis­ fied and there is no talk of an appeal.

No? Well, you ought to, for he's a regular fel­ low, one of our kind op people you know, and he stands the gaff In the way dne admires.* He's the new freight agent at the Michigan Central station, taking Claud Greenfield’s place while Claud is*at Grand Rap­ ids, learning to fly just a little high­ er than he has been accustomed U» doing. Well. Harry and Elmer took a day off last week and went to Thofnapple lake .on a fishing trip, because they had heard great tales of how the bluegills were biting and they wanted a mess of them. They got hold of a boat that seemed made to let the watei* in instead of keeping it out. They finally figured that the most of the water came Into Green­ field’s end of the boat and decided that if Elmer would transfer his avoirdupois to the other end of the boat it would let the end which he had been occupying up above the water line and stop the worst of the inundation. Accordingly Elmer started the transfer, but you know just how darn clumsy Elmer is, don’t you? On his way, he made a sudden lurch and as Riley stood with his heels against the side of the boat he dropped backward into the ocean, kersouse! And the only thing that saved Elmer’s life was that he had sense enough not to laugh until Riley was safely back into the boat again. Only Riley says that the next time he goes fishing with Elmer they will go on a raft, and a big one at that. Also, two more of our fellows got flooded this week, and flooded right and proper, without going fishing cr even going near the lake or the streams. Hale Sackett and Earl Hoffman, tapping a water main on the north side, tapped it just before they were quite ready, and a stream of water under full force shot them good and plenty. Hale got it right in the snoot and It carried bls hat so far away that It was a straw hat when it got back. Eari didn’t get the full force of the water, but he was as deep in the trench as Hale was, and the trench was in the clay and the water and the clay mixed with great affinity and before the boys could get out of the rising tide they were some smeared. One could have flopped either of them down and made garden on him. “But for goodness sake, don't let Fike know anything about IL" Officially It may be none of our business, but we can’t help wonder­ ing whether Royce Henton.

About 4:3O he sat up and took notice as some one left the house; but it was oaly the superbly dressed young man nhom he had discovered already was merely a dothes-peg calling himself DurreiL The sun was getting low and the shadows were lengthening when a taxi drove up to the door. Immediately the watcher drew .closer, only to stop with a faint smile as he saw two men get out of IE One was the immaculate Darrell; the other was a stranger, and both were quite obviously what In the vernacular Is known as oiled. “You prisheless ole been," he heard Darrell say affectionately, “thlsh blink­ ing cahsh my show." . The other man hiccoughed assent, and leant wearily apilnst the palings. “Right." he remarked, "ole friend of me youth. It shall be ash you wish." With a tolerant eye he watched them tack up the stairs, singing lustily In chorus. Then the door above closed, and the melody continued to float out through the ojien window. Ten minutes later he was relieved. It was quite an unostentatious relief; Another man merely strolled past him. And skice there was nothing to re­ port. he merely strolled away. He could hardly be expected to know that up in Peter Darrell’s sitting-room, two perfectly sober young men were con­ templating with professional eyes an extremely drunk gentleman singing in a chair, and that one of those two sober young men was Peter Darrell. Then further interior activity took place in Half Moon street, and aa the darkness fell, slknoe gradual!? settled on the house. Ten o’clock struck, then eleven— and tlie silence remained unbroken.

At om» o'clock the car swung up to The Elms.- For the last ten minutea Hugh had been watching the invalid* in the comer, who was making franticefforts to loosen his gag.

"A hooded •cobra Is an unph-iising pet." . Hugh had Just determined to recon­ noiter the curtained doorway again to see if It was possible to circumvent ’the snake, when a low chuckle came distinctly to his earn from the landing above. He flushed angrily In the darkness. There was no doubt whatever as to the human origin of that laugh, and Hugh suddenly realized that he was making the most profound fool of him• To be laughed at by some dirty whom he could strangle In half Prices Hil Rock Bottom, Bang! IRWIN MYERS In the days when Drummond had been a platoon commander he hud done many dangerous things. The or­ dinary joys of the Infantry subaltern's life—such as going over the top, and carrying out raids—had not proved sufficient for hls appetite. He had specialized In peculiar stunts of his own: stunts over which he was sin­ gularly reticent; stunts over which bis men formed their-own conclusions, and worshiped him according!/. But Drummond wjis’no’ fool', and he had realized the vital importance of fitting himself for [these stunts to the best of hls ability. XE^ormous physical strength Is a great‘asset, but It cur­ ries w.lth. It certain natural disadvan­ tages, In the first place. Its possessor Is frequently clumsy: Hugh had prac­ ticed In France till he could move over ground without a single blade of grass rustling. Van Dyck—a Dutch trap­ per—had first shown him the trick, by which a man goes forward on hls el­ bows like a snake, and Is here one moment and gone the next, with no one the wiser. Again, its possessor is fn*quently slow: Hugh had practiced tn France till he could kill a man with hls bare hands In a second. Olakl—a Japa­ nese—had first . taught him two or three of the secrets of hls trade, and In the Intervals of resting behind the lines he had perfected them until it was even money whether the Jap or he. would win in a practice bout. And there were nights In No Man's Land when hls men would hear strange sounds, and kpowing'that Drummond was abroad on hls wanderings, would peer eagerly over the parapet into the desolate torn-up waste In front But they never saw anything, even when the green ghostly flares went hissing up Into the darkness and the shadows danced fantastically. All was silent and still; the sudden shrill whimper was not repeated. Perhaps a imtrol coming back would report a German, lying huddled in a shellhole, with no trace of a wound, but only a broken neck; perhaps the patrol never found anything. But whatever the report, Hugh Drummond only grinnned and saw to his turn's breakfast. Which is why there are In England today quite a number of civilians who acknowledge only two rulers—the King and Hugh Drum­ mond. And they would willingly die for either. fi Tile result on Drummond was not surprising; as nearly as a man may be he was without fear. And when the idea came to him as he sat on the edge of hls bed thoughtfully pulling off bls shoes, no question of the possible risk entered into hls mind. To explore the house seemed ■ the most natural thing In the world, and with character­ istic brevity he summed up the situ­ ation as it struck him. • . “They suspect me anyhow: in fact, they know I took Potts. Therefore, even if they catch me passage creep Ing. I'm no worse off than I am now. And I might find something of inter­ est Therefore, carry bn, brave heart.” It was dark in the passage outside as he opened the door of hls room and crept toward the top of the stairs. The collar of hls brown lounge coat was turned up, and his stocking feet made no sound on the heavy pile carpet. Like a huge shadow he vanished Into the blackness, feeling hls way forward with the uncanny instinct that comes from much practice. Every now and then he paused and listened Intently, hut the measured ticking of the clock below and the occasional creak of a board alon? broke the stillness. To the left lay the room In which he had spent the evening, and Drummond turned to the right. As he had gone up to bed he had noticed a door screened by a heavy curtain which he thought might be the room PhyUls Benton had spoken of—the room where Henry Lakington kept hls HL gotten treasures. He felt bls way along the wall, and at length hls hand touched the curtain—only to drop it again at once. From close beside him had come a sharp, angry hiss. . . . He stepped baclc a .pace and stood rigid, staring at the spot from which the sound had seemed to come—but he could see nothing. Then he leaned forward and once more moved the curtain. Instantly It came again, sharper and angrier than before. Hugh passed a hand over hls fore­ head and found it damp. Germans be knew, and things on two legs, bu? what was this that hissed so viciously tn the darkness? At length he deter­ mined to risk It, and drew from his pocket a tiny electric torch.

At the same Instant something whizzed past his head so low that it Hlmdst touched his hair, and there was a clang on the wall be­ side him. He ducked Instinctively, and regardless of noise raced up the remaining stairs, on all-foura. His Jaw was set like a vise, his ryes were blazing; In fact. Hugh Drummond was seeing red. He jmused when he reached the top. crouching In the darkness. Close to him he could feel some ope else, and holding his breath, he listened. Then he heard the man move—only the very faintest sound—but It was enough. Without a second's thought he sprang, and his hands closed on human flesh. He laughed gently; then he fought In silence. His opponent was strong above the average, but after a minute he was like a child In Hugh's grasp. He choked once or twice and muttered something; then Hugh slipped bls right hand gently onto the man's throat. His fingers moved slowly round, his thumb adjusted Itself lov­ ingly, and the man felt hls head being forced back irresistibly. He gave one strangled cry, and then the pressure relaxed. ... “One half-inch more, my gentle hu­ morist,” Hugh whispered In. hls ear, “and your neck would have been broken. As It is. It will be very stjff for some days. Another time>—don’t laugh. It’s dangerous." T|jen. like a ghost, he vanished along the passage In the direction of hls own room. THREE. At eight o'clock th? next morning a burly looking ruffian brought in gome hot water and a cup of tea. As he pulled up the blinds the light fell full on Ms battered, rugged face, and sud­ denly Hugh sat up In bed and stared at him. •flood Lord!” he cried, "aren’t you Jem Smith?” The man swung round like a flash and glared at the bed. “Wot the ‘ell ’as that got to do wlv youF he snarled, and then his face changed. “Why, strike pink, if it ain't young Drummond.” Hugh grinned. "Right in one. Jem. What In the name of fortune are you doing In.this outfit? Given up the game?” "It give me up, when that cross-eyed son of a gun Young Baxter fought that cross down at ’Oxton. Gawd I If I could get the swine—just once again— s'welp me. I’d—" Words failed the exbrulser; he could only mutter. Hugh smiled. "By the way, has any­ one got a stiff neck In the house this morning F "Stiff neck I” echoed the man. "Strike me pink if that ain't funny— your asking, I mean.

Moat assuredly be was starting tn This stupendous reduction also affects the wonderful Willys-Knight, an even $300 being knocked off the price. ni This drop at one wallop to rock bottom will, we believe, make this the record year for these two great cars. Come in and look them over, and let us give you a demonstration. , Nashville style: Laktngton's Jaw one night, Pet­ erson’s neck the second, seemed a suffi­ ciently energetic opening to the game for the veriest glutton. Then that cheerful optimism which was the en­ vy of bls friends asserted Itself. “Supposin’ I'd killed 'em.” he mur­ mured. aghast “Just supposin'. Why, tlie bally show would have been over, and I’d have had to advertise again." Only Peterson was In the dining­ room when Hugh came down. He had examined the stalro on hls way. but he could see nothing unusual which would account for die thing which had whizzed past hls head and clanged sul­ lenly against the wall. Nor was there any sign of the cobra by the curtained door; merely Peterson standing In a sunny room behind a bubbling coffee­ machine. He turned politely toward hls host and paused in dismay. “Good heavens, Mr. Peterson, is your neck hurting 'youF “It Is," answered Peterson grimly. "A nuisance, having a stiff neck. Makes every one laugh, and one gets no sympathy. Bad diIng—laughter. ... At times, anyway." • “Curiosity is a great deal worse. Captain Drummond. It was touch and go whether I killed you last night" "I think I might say the same,” re­ turned Drummond. "Yes and no," said Peterson. “From the moment you left the bottom of die stairs, I had your life in the palm of my hand. Had I chosen to take It, my young friend, I should not have had this stiff neck." Hugh returned to hls breakfast un­ concernedly. “Granted, laddie, granted. But had I not been of such a kindly and for bearing nature, you wouldn't have had it, either.” He looked at Peter­ son'Critically. “I’m Inclined to think it’s a great pity I didn’t break your neck while I was about IL" Hugh sighed and drank some coffee. “I see that I shall have to do it some day, and probably Lakington's as well. . . . By the way, how Is our. Henry? I trust hls jaw Is not unduly incon­ veniencing him." Peterson, with hls coffee cup in hls . hand, was staring down the drive. • “Your car Is a little early. Captain Drummond," he said at length. "How­ ever, perhaps it can wait two or three minutes while we get matters perfect­ ly dear. I should dislike you not knowing where you stand.” He turned round and faced the soldier. “You have deliberately, against my advice, elected to fight me and the Interests I reprefer; •. So be it. From now oc the gloves are off. You embarked this course from a spirit of adventure, at the Instigation of the girl next mit It, and 1 admire you for It. 1 apologize now for having played the fool with you last night; you're the type of man whom one should kill out­ right—or leave alone." He set down his coffee cup and care­ fully snipped the end off a cigar. “You are also the type of man who will continue on the path he has spirt­ ed. You are completely In the dark; you have no Idea whatever what you ■re up against.” He smiled grimly, and turned abruptly on Hugh. “You fool—you stupid young fool. Do you really imagine that you cqn beat me?” Tiie soldier rose and stood in front of him. “I have a few remarks of my own to make,” he answered, "and then we might consider the interview closed. 1 ask nothing better than that the gloves should tie off—though with your filthy methods of fighting, anything you touch will get very dirty. As you say. I am completely in the dark ns to ycwir plans; hut 1 have n^iretty shrewd Idea what I'm up against.

There’s no g(HKl you snarling at me, you swine; It does everybody good to hear some home truths—and don’t forget It was you who pullet) off the gloves." Drummond lit a cigarette; then his merciless eyes fixed themselves again on Peterson. "There Is only one thing more,” he continued. "You have kindly warned me of my danger; let me give you a word of advice In my turn. Tin going to fight you; If I can. I'm going to beat you. Anything that may happen to me Is part of the game. But if anything happens to Miss Benton dur­ ing the course of operations, then, as surely as there Is a God shove, Peter­ son, I’ll -ge: at you somehow and mur­ der you with my own ha nils.” For a few moments there was si­ lence, and then with a short laugh Drummond turned away. “Shall we meet again soon?" He paused at the door and looked back. Peterson was still standing by the table, hls face expressionless. “Very soon. Indeed, young man," he said quietly. “Very soon indeed. . ." Hugh stepped out into the warm sunshine snd spoke to hls chauffeur. "Take her out into the main road, Jenkins," h? said. **and wait for me outside*the entrance to the next house. I shan't lie long." Then he strolled through the gar­ den toward the little wicket-gate that led to The Larches. Phyllis! The thought of her was singing in hls door. She, poor little fool.

Your poor dear father There are two species of these never could keep bls in his eye.”— worms but thgy differ principally in Pickup. that the eggs of one species are de­ posited in the fall, while the fe­ males of the other species do not appear until spring. Tho females of both species are wingless and as they have transformed in the ground, they are obliged to crawl up the trunks of the trees to deposit their eggs on the branches. Some twen­ ty to thirty years ago this Insect was far more troublesome than it has been during the last ten years, all of the apple trees over large areas being stripped of their leaves, as were elm and other trees in the forest and along the highways and streets. In the ehrly days before arsenicals came Into use, it was customary to band the trees with stick ma­ terials such as printers’ ink, or coal tar, or to surround the trunks with troughs containing crude oil In or­ der to prevent the females from crawling up the trees. Although these remedies may be used to ad­ vantage when fruit trees are so tall that they cannot be readily sprayed, and for the protection of shade trees, it is now customary to control these insects by the use of arsenicals. The eggs hatch soon after the leaves develop and the worms at once begin to feed upon the foliage, doing most harm during the blos­ soming period and for the two or three weeks following.

ANOTHER 10% CUT The Brunswick Unlimited Mileage Guaranteed Tire Some Insurance Facts That You Should Consider Have you ever considered the FACT that when you take ouf a policy in a Mutual Windstorm. Insurance Company, that it will be to your distinct advant­ age to join a large Company that has its policy holders well scattered all over the State? When you take out a policy in any MUTUAL Insurance Company, you automatically become liable for your share of the losses that may be sus­ tained by that Company. In any new Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company, or any small Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company, its risks are naturally grouped in some locality or localities. If a cyclone should sweep through that section and cause a very heavy loss, as may happen any day, * YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR YOUR SHARE OF THE LOSS. That is a feature of Mutual Windstorm Insurance that is worthy of your care­ ful consideration. The Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company is the OLDEST and LARGEST one of its kind in this State. Its risks are well scattered over the State. No cyclone ean come that will hit our policy holders very hard for that reason. Some years the losses will be light, other years they may be heavier, and for that reason the assessment will be larger or smaller. This was well demonstrated last year when our losses reached the unprecedented amount of $564,000.00. Despite this huge loss we only had to levy an assessment of 30 cents on each $100 insured. BUT EVERY LOSS HAS BEEN PAID PROMPTLY AND IN FULL. Every dollar of our indebtedness has been paid and today we have OVER $325,000 each on hand to meet any losses that may come. If our los­ ses are small this year, our assessment will be accordingly small. The Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company is carefully and economically managed and its complete system of looking after its 80,000 policy holders and its 250 millions of Insurance has been highly complimented by competent insurance men.

And as be turned to pull out the pad of forms, it struck him that the man had looked away just a trifle too quickly. . . . A grin spread slowly over his face, and after a moment's hesitation he proceeded to compose a short wire. He wrote it In black letters for addi­ tional clearness; he also pressed hls hardest, as befitting a blunt pencil. Then with the form In hls hand be ad­ vanced to the counter. "How long will it take to deliver In Loudon?” he asked the girl. The girl was not helpful. It del»euded. he gathered, on a variety of circumstances, of which not the least was the perfectly ordinary man who talked so charmingly. “I don't think I'il bother, then," he said, thrusting the wire into bis pocket. "Good morning. . . He walked to Lite door, and shortiy afterward hls car rolled down the street With what the girl considered pecu­ liar abruptness, the perfectly ordinary man concluded hls conversation with her, and decided that he too would send a wire’. And then, after a long and thoughtful pause at the writing­ bench, she distinctly beard an unmis­ takable "D—u.” Then he walked out, and she saw him no more. Moreover, it Is to be regretted that the perfectly ordinary man told a lie a little later In the day, when giving ‘ hls report to some one whose neck ap­ parently inconvenienced him greatly. But then a lie Is frequently more tactful than the truth, and to have announced that the sole result of bls morning's labors had been to decipher a wire addressed to The Elms, which contained the cryptic remark, "Stung again, stiff neck, stung again,” would not have been tactful. So be lied, as has been stated, thereby showing Ids wisdom. . . . But though Drummond chuckled to himself as the car rushed through the fresh morning air, once or twice a gleam that was not altogether amuse­ ment Rhone in hls eyes. For four years he had played one game where no mistakes were allowed; the little Incident of the postofflee had helped to bring to hi* mind the certainty that he had now embarked on another where the conditions were much the same. That he had scored up to date was luck rather than good manage­ ment, and be was far too shrewd not to realize IL Now he was marked, and luck with a marked man cannot be tempted too far. Alone and practically, unguarded he had challenged a gang of international, criminals; a gang not only utterly un­ scrupulous, but controlled by a mas­ ter mind. Of it* power as yet he had no clear Idea; of Its size and imme­ diate object be had even less. Per­ haps It was as well. Had he realized even dimly the immensity of the 1«sucs-he was up against, had he had but an inkling of the magnitude nf the plot conceived In the sinister brain of hi* host of the previous evening, then, cheery optimist though he was, even Hugh Drummond might have wavered. But he had no such Inkling. transitory, the chuckle that succeeded it more whole-hearted than before.

Hugh Drummond was burying his none in a large tankard of the ale for which that cheery pot-house was Mill fam­ ous. A- waiter was arranging The first editions of the evening papers on a table, .and Hugh beckoned to him to bring one. Cricket, racing, the latest divorce case, and the latest strike—all the usual headings were there. And he was just putting down the paper, to again concentrate on his problem, when a paragraph caught his eye. “STRANGE MURDER IN BELFAST “The man whose body was discov­ ered in such peculiar circumstances near the docks has been Identified as Mr. James Granger, the confidential secretary to Mr. Hiram Potts, the American multi-millionaire. at present in this country. The unfortunate victim of this dastardly outrnge^-hls head, as we, reported in our last night's issue, was nearly severed from his body—had apparently been sent over on bus'ness by Mr. Potts’ and had arrived the preceding day. What he was doing in the locality In which be was found Is a mystery. “We understand that Mr. Potts, whe has recently been Indisposed; has re­ turned to the Carlton, and is greatly upset at the sudden tragedy. “The police are confident that they will shortly obtain a clue, though the rough element in the locality where the murder was committed presents great difficulties. It seems clear that the motive was robbery, as all the murdered man's pockets were rifled. But the most peculiar thing about the case is the extraordinary care taken by the murderer to prevent the identifi­ cation of the body. Every article of clothing, even down to the murdered mnn’B socks, had had the name torn out, and it was only through the crim­ inal overlooking the tailor's tab inside the inner breast-pocket of Mr. Grang­ er’s coat that the police were enabled to identify tile body.” The waiter departed, and Hugh picked up the paper attln. , “We ’ understand.” I;e murmured gently to himself, “that Mr. Potts, wbn nns .recently been InrityaMed. Ims .returnee! to the Carlton. . . . Now that's very Interesting. . . ." He lit a cigarette and lay back In hls chair, “I was under rhe. tmpres<ion that Mr. Pntta was wifely tucked ttp In he<I. consuming semolina pud­ ding. at Goring.' It requires elucida­ tion.” “I beg your pardon, sir." remarked rhe waiter, placing the beer on the, tahle beside him. ’ “You needn't." returned Hugh. “Up to date yob have Justified my fondest exj»ertatlons. And as u further proof of my good will. I would like you to get me a trunk call—2 X Goring." A few minute* later he was in the telephone box. "Peter, I have seldom been so glad to hear your voice.

He hung up the receiver and supped out of the box. “If, Algy,” lie remarked Jo a man who was looking at the'tape machine outside, "the paper -says a blighter's somewhere and you know he's some­ where else—what would you do?" "Up to date in such cases I have al­ ways shat the editor." murmured Algy Longworth. "Come and feed.” “You're so helpful. Algy. A per­ fect rock of strength.

He was assigned to Co. F. 39th Infantry, with which unit he re­ ceived his military training and was transported to France early in 1918. His company was assigned to front line duty on several different occa­ sions, but “Pete,” as he was called, escaped unscathed until some time during the first week in August ot 1918, when, engaged in active com­ bat. he made the supreme sacrifice.

I Miss Edna Schulze, one of the I teachers of the Nashville schools, is I skipping all the joys of commenceI merit week and is confined to her I home suffering terribly from a pe­ I culiar accident which happened Mon­ day evening. I Miss Schulze was running the milk I 'rom the evening milking through I ’he cream separator, when in stooping I ■ V - k a dish from the floor, her hair was caught in the upright [ shaft of the separator, running at a ' very high speed. Instantly she was drawn against the shaft with such force that her head was badly cut over the left eye. while the right side of her face and head was Jam­ med against the shaft so hard that it was feared the skull had been (ractured. A large quantity of her hair । was pulled from her head and much j more had to be cut away before she । could be freed from the machine. The resistance of her hair and । head was such that the machine iwas stopped and several parts of it were broken by the sudden stopping. The victim tell to the floor In an uncoliscious condition and it was several I minutes Kbefore she could be taken away from the machine. Dr. F. F. 'Shilling was summoned and render­ ed what medical aid was possible, but h&r sufferings throughout the night were very severe. Tuesday morning, however, she was somewhat relieved and resting much easier. It is not thought the skull is fractured, but that can not be definitely determ­ ined until the swelling goes down somewhat. However, the physician is reasonably certain there is no frac­ ture, in which case Miss Edna will undoubtedly make a quick recovery and soon be able to be around again. Certainly it was an experience which she will not care to repeat, and will be a warning to other users ot separator* to be very careful not to get caught in the same manner. PRAISE FOR VANCE.

Vance ia one of the most likely athletes that has been developed in these parts for some time. Vance copped the shot put. discus, broad and high jump* and was third in the hurdles and relay events. The youngster broke Barry’ and Eaton records in the broad and high jump* His brother. Merle, now a student at Ann Arbor, holds the bl-county record tor shot put. made a year ago. Vance played for­ ward on the basket bail team, and played short and is theclean-up-hitter on the ball team, which incidentally has won thirteen out of the 14 games played this spring. Hia father is Dr. W. A. Vanbe and quite naturally the Stem, who was the second, high in­ dividual star, made twenty points for Hastings, showing exceptional class in the dashes.

Tbe f®es for registering motor veh­ icles are $1 and for each transfer $1. The law provides that all expenses of operating this act shall be paid from the fees collected and any money remaining shall be turned into the general fund of the state. The law is designed to eliminate theft of automobiles and is being worked successfully In other states. The Detroit police, Detroit Automo­ bile club and the insurance companies strongly favor the legislation and recommend an early compliance with Its terms. It la expected that'when all motor vehicles in the state are registered it will reduce the price of theft insur­ ance to the automobile owner to a considerable extent and will make the sale of stolen cars in Michigan im­ possible.

Cultivation of the new strawberry bed should be thorough and frequent and continue as long as the plants are growing In the fall. All seed stalks of rhubarb plants should be cut out promptly, as soon as they appear. Seed production ex­ hausts plant food, which should oth­ erwise be used by the plant. Don't continue cutting the aspara­ gus bed too late In the season. Re­ member that the plants must be giv­ en time to store up food in the roots for producing next year’s crop. It is a good plan to apply a good dressing of manure to the asparagus bed at the end of the cutting season. It may then be thoroughly cultivated Into the soil and will not interfere with early growth in the spring. Why do peony buds often form but never develop into flowers? This is often due to a poor dry soil. Fer­ tilize well, mulch the plants during hot weather, .".nd give them plenty of water during the blobming season. Try it. Delbert C.

Among them were students from 31 different states, and foreign students from Honolulu, Ontario. New Brunswick. Nova Scotia, Denmark, Sweden. China. Japan. Korea. New Zealand and the.

Be that as It may. something suddenly aroused tbe other’s suspicions, and with a snarl of fury he sprang past Hugh to the dnor. “Who are you?"

By MARY MARSHALL DUFFLE Powerful Indeed U the empire of hablu— Publius Syrua. STATION ETIQUETTE O SAY’ that the well-bred person Is on time when he takes a train might be unfair. But It Is a fact the well-bred person shows his consider­ ation for others in his actions, and 'the person who comes into the station behind time, pushes by other people, runs into them with his traveling bag. summons a porter curtly and tries to push ahead of. others at the ticket window, is acting in an Inconsiderate manner. He Is also making himself conspicuous, and the well-bred per­ son does not attract undue attention to hluteelf In public places. It is nothing to be ashamed of if one has traveled but little, and some ex­ cellent folk have perhaps never been In a railroad train more than once or twice In their lives. Still it Is but natural that we should all want to appear to be at ease when we travel, and not to proclaim by our manners that we have never been about before. Your conduct In the railroad station should therefore be composed and un­ ruffled. If you have time to idle away before train time It Is quite ail rigid to go to the newsstand and pur­ chase a paper or magazine and read It; but there Is no reason why you shookl have to Invest in chewing gum, salted nuts and gum drops, weigh yourself, and have your fortune told by one of the penny-Ui-the-slot ma­ chines, pace back and forth In the sta­ tion, delve In your traveling bag to see whether you remembered to firing your slippers, or ask the station at­ tendants innumerable unnecessary questions about why the train is late. If you have been unable to get any lunch and really feel the need of nourishment, then you may be excused for eating a little milk chocolate while you wait, but remember that well-bred people do not eat In any publld places save restaurants and other places, es­ pecially Intended for that. And the consensus of opinion seems to be that the very well-bred people do not kiss in the station. At any rate, they do it without attracting any undue atrentlon. and save such signs of devotion till they have reached home. To be sure, when we travel in continental Europe we see much kiss­ ing and embracing in the railroad sta­ tions—fathers embracing their grown sons and brothers with tears in their eyes kissing brothers, though they may not have been separated for many weeks. But we Anglo-Saxons avoid such overdemonstrativeness and the American way as well as the Brit­ ish way is to reveal as little as pos­ sible of our own persona.1 affairs to others in the railway station. We can excuse the woman who weeps audibly in the station when she sees her dear ones departing If she is old or very much overwrought, but the young woman should do her utmost to avoid such demonstration of her feelings In the station. It makes it very much harder for those who leave her. and sometimes Is painfully embarrassing. T Baptist Announcement.

Having nothing else to do, he drop­ ped into the village newspaper office and inquired for the editor. The ed­ itor was not in. “Well,” said Harding, as the New York Sun tells the story, "I’ll go out Into the composing room and talk to the foreman." "Want to hire a man?” he asked I the foreman. "We can use another linotype op­ erator," the foreman answered. "Can! you run the machine?" "Try me," replied Harding. He seated himself at a linotype-, machine and ran off a galley of type, in a short time. The foreman look- ‘ ed over the proof and said, "All right; when do you want to go to' work? I’ll talk to the proprietor about it." "You write me. "I’ll be at home next Monday." And Harding hand-. ed his card to the foreman, who next; day handed the card to his proprle- ’ tor, saying, "Get him; he’s a mighty good man." "Yes," was the reply. "He’s a mighty good man. but I don't believe we can get him. He's a United States ’ senator from Ohio." $1.25 to $4.00 E. A. -HANNEMANN Literal Youngster.

Know who the "Long-Hairs are. do you? That's the bunch of ball play­ ers from the "House of David” at Benton Harbor. It's a strange re­ ligious sect, which has made its home there for a number of years. Many of the people around there think they are all right, and tome of them think they are all wrong. But anyway, that ball team is some bunch of athletes, just the same, and they will make Bellevue step a mer­ ry clip. This same bunch played against the Giants at New York City last summer while we were there. We didn't go out to see the game, but those who did admitted that the "Long-Hairs" were wise to all the points of the fsvorite Ameri­ can sport. They not only wear their hair down around their shoulders, like the wild men of Borneo, but all wear full beards and mustaches. They look like a bunch of Rip Van Winkles, but their looks belie them, for they are wide awake and are real athletes.

For a few cents on each $100 in­ sured you can carry a policy in the largest and strongest Windstorm In­ surance Company in Michigan, that will FULLY -PROTECT YOU, up to the full amount of your policy, in case you meet with loss. . The question with YOU should be —“CAN I AFFORD TO BE WITH­ OUT SUCH PROTECTION?” The Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company has been in busi­ ness OVER 35 YEARS. It has over 80,000 MEMBERS, about 250 MIL­ LIONS OF INSURANCE on its books about $325,000 CASH ON DEPOSIT in banks, drawing interest, and ALL INDEBTEDNESS PAID. It is in the BEST and STRONGEST position today it has ever been in its history. Here is another question you can well consider—“Can you afford to join ANY SMALL COMPANY which, if it meets with a heavy loss, as it may any day, will mean a heavy burden upon you in the way of assess­ ments?” You should not overlook the FACT that if you are a. member of a small company, which meets with a heavy loss. YOU MUST PAY YOUR SHARE OF THOSE LOSSES, and YOU CAN’T GET AWAY FROM IT. The Michigan Mutual Windstorm. Insurance Company is conservatively managed, has the best and most com­ plete system of looking after its re­ cords of any Windstorm Company in existence, and that means added pro­ tection to every policy holder, and we will pay you fully and promptly as soon as your loss is adjusted. Our assessment is never any higher than is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY depending largely upon the extent of _ our losses. This amount will vary, of course. Some years when losses are low there may be no assessment. Some years we may get hit hat'd and the assessment would have to be some higher—just as happened in 1920 when we paid OVER A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN LOSSES. This caused a higher assessment in 1921 to pay up those losses—but such . extremely heavy losses do not often occur. Nevertheless, they are just as apt to come to a small Company as a large one. That’s why it’s to your ADVANTAGE to join a large Company like the Michigan Mutual Windstorm Company, where, if los­ ses are heavy, there will be 80,000 others to help pay them. It’s a lot easier for 80,000 members to pay the lasses than for 500 or 1,000 members to do it—and that’s exactly what may i Insurance Co. M. F. Andrus, Secy-Treas.

How can a Bank be helpful? By being a strong, reliable, public spirited in­ stitution. By guarding carefully the depositors’ money. By loaning money to assist legitimate business enterprises. By giving sound advice on financial matters to its customers. By having competent and accommodating em­ ployees. By furnishing every modern banking facility for its patrons, in fact by giving prompt, faithful, dependable service in every possible way.

The bloodshot eyes of the man with the scarred face turned on him morosely. “What I cannot understand Is why he hasn’t been killed by now." Hugh waggled an accusing finger at bill). "I knew you were a nasty man as soon as I saw you. Now look at Hen­ ry up st the end of tbe table; he doesn’t say that sort of thing. And you do bate me. don’t you, Henry? How’s the Jaw?" “Captain Drummond." said Lnklngton, Ignoring Hugh and addressing the first speaker, “was very nearly killed last night I thought for some time as to whether I would or not. but I finally decided It would be much too easy a death. So ft can be remedied tonight." If Hugh felt a momentary twinge of fear at the calm, expressionless tone, and the half-satisfied grunt which greeted the words, no trace of It showed on his face. Already the realization had come to him that if he got through the night alive he would be more than passing lucky, but he was too much of a fatalist to let that worry him unduly. So he merely stifled a yawn, and again turned to Lakington. “So It was you, my little one. whose fairy face I saw pressed against the wihdow. Would It be Indiscreet to ask how you got the dope into us?” Lakington looked at him will) an ex­ pression of grim satisfaction on his face. “You were gassed, if you want to know. An admirable invention of my friend Kauffner's nation.” A guttural chuckle came from one of the men, and Hugh looked at him grimly. “The scum certainly would not be complete," he remarked to Peterson, “without a filthy Boche in IL” The German pushed back his chair with an oath,* his face purple with passion. "A filthy Boche," he muttered thick­ ly, lurching toward Hugh. “Hold him the arms of, and I will the throat tear ouL . . ." It all happened so quickly. At one moment Hugh was apparently intent upon selecting a cigarette, the next instant the case had fallen to the floor; there wns a dull, heavy thud, and the Boche crashed back, over­ turned a chair, and fell like a log to the floor, his head hitting the wall with a vicious crack. The bloodshot being resumed fils seat a little limply. Hugh resumed his search for a cigarette. “After which breezy Interlude," re­ marked Peterson, “let us to business Hugh paused In tbe act of striking a match, and for the first time a gen­ uine smile spread over his face. “There are moments, Peterson," he murmured, “when you really appeal to me.” Peterson took the empty chair next to Lakington. “Sit down,” be said shortly. “I can only hope that I shall appeal to you stni more before we kill you." Hugh bowed and sot down. “Consideration," he murmured, “was always your strong point May I ask how long I have to live?" < Peterson smiled genially. “At the earnest request of Mr. Lak­ ington you are to be spared until to­ morrow.

"Splendid," he murmured. "A mag­ nificent peroration. Am I right, sir, in assuming that you are what is vul­ garly known as a Bolshevist?” The man turned his sunken eyes, glowing with the burning fires of fanat­ icism, on Drummond. "I am one of those who are fighting for the freedom of the world," he cried harshly, "for the right to live of the proletariat." He flung out bls arms wildly: “It is freedom; it is the dawn of the new age." Hugh looked at him with genuine curiosity; it was the first time he had actually met one of these wild vision­ aries In the flesh. And then the curi­ osity was succeeded by a very definite amazement: what hud Peterson to do with such as he? For the moment his own deadly risk was forgotten: a growing excitement filled his mind. Could it be possible that here, at last, was the real object of the gang; could It be possible that Peterson was organizing a deliberate plot to try and Bolshevlze England? He looked up to find Peterson regard­ ing him with a faint smile. “It Is a little difficult to understand, lsi£t it. Captain Drummond?" he said, carefully flicking the ash off his cigar “I told you you'd find yourself In deep water." Then he resumed the contem­ plation of the papers In front of him. Hugh half closed his eyes, while a general buzz of conversation broke out round the table. Fragments of conversation struck his ears from time to time. The Intimi­ dated rabbit, with the light of battle In his watery eye, was declaiming on the glories of workmen's councils; a bullet-headed man was shouting an in­ spiring battle cry about no starvation wages and wofk for all. “Can it be possible,” thought Hugh, grimly, “that such as these have the power to control big destinies?" And then, because he nad some experience of what one unbalanced brain, whose . owner could talk, was capable of achieving: because he knew something about mob psychology, his half con­ temptuous amusement changed -to a bitter forelHMllng. "You fool I" he cried sudden.y to the Russian ; and everyone ceased talk­ ing. “You poor d—d boob! You—and your new eurth! In Petrograd today bread is two pounds four shillings a pound; tea, fifteen pounds a pound. Do you call that freedom^ He gave a contemptuous laugh. Too surprised to speak, the Rus­ sian eat staring at him; and it was Peterson who broke the silence with his suave voice. “Your distress, I am glad to say, Is not likely to be one of long dura­ tion," he remarked. "In fact, the time has come for you to retire for the night, ipy young friend.” He stood up smtllqg; then he walked over to the bell behind Hugh and rang IL . "Dead or mad—I wonder which." He threw the end of his cigar into the grate as Hugh rose. “While we deliberate down here on various mat­ ters of importance we shall be think­ ing of you upstairs—that Is to say, if you get there. I see that Lakington Is even now tieginning to gloat In pleasant anticipation." Not a muscle on the soldier’s face twitched; not by the hint of a look did he show the keenly watching au­ dience that be realized his danger. Laklngton's face was merciless, with Its fiendish look of anticipation, and Hugh stared at him with level eyes truce to all this fooling.*' be for a while l>efor? be turned toward Now that the nlglrt's orrfaaJ ‘ had eonuMfired. all his nerve hud re­ turned to him; He felt Ice-cold; end as hl* powerful liands clenched and unclenched by his sides, he grinned faintly to himself.

Hassan ben Sabbah, the Per­ sian. wllo founded the dreaded order, was extremely explicit In the rules he laid down for the’ govemmen of the organization, which was partly religious and partly secular in nature. The members of the lower sections of the society were kept In total ignorance of tlie teachings and alms of he body to which they belonged, and it was impressed upon them that unfailing obe­ dience was their only key to success In this life and happi­ ness in the next. In order to give them a fore­ taste of the Joys which were in store for them, provided they followed instructions, Hassan ben Sabbah directed that they lie given a specified ration of hashish, or hemp—a narcotic which produced effects an­ alogous to those resulting from the use of opium—and from this practice the membera of the so­ ciety became known as hnshashln or hemp-eaters. Euro­ peans slightly altered the word to “assassin" and applied It to anyone guilty of murder, this crime being a favorite among the ’Fedavis. - GROCERIES 0 DRYGOODS [windstorm insurant!

Duran C*. • At times the thought of the help­ less man for whose death he had In one wny been 'respoualble recurred to him. hut he shook his ijyail angrily. It had been necessary, he realized: you can carry someone, upstairs in a normal house without him having his neck broken—but still . . . And then he wondered who he was. It had been one of the men who sat round the table—of that he was toler­ ably certain. But which . . . ? War It the frightened bunny, or the Rus­ sian, or the gentleman with the blood­ shot eye? The only comfort wns that whoever it had been, the world would not be appreciably the poorer for his sudden decease. The only regret was that It hadn't been 'flear Henry. . . . He had a dlstnte for Henry which far exceeded his dislike of Peterson. “He's not over there.” Peterson’s voice came to him from below. “And we’ve wasted time enough as it is." The men had gathered together In a group. Just below where Hugh was sitting, evidently awaiting further or­ ders. “Do you mean to say we’ve lost tlie young swine againT’ said Laklngton angrily. “Not lost—merely mislaid." mur­ mured Peterson. “Tlie more I see of him the more do I admire his Inltla tive.” Laklngton snorted. “It was that d—d fool Tvolsky's own fault," he snarled; “why didn’t he keep still as he was told to doT' “Why. Indeed.” returned Peterson his cigar glowing red. “And I’m afraid we shall never know. He Is very dead.* He turned toward the house. “That concludes the enter tihnrnent, gentlemen, for tonight. 1 think you can al) go to bed.” He disappeared Into the house, nnd the others followed slowly. For the time being Hugh .was safe, and with a sigh of relief he stretched his cramped limbs and lay back against the sloping roof. If only he had dared to light a cigarette.

Rhe threw back her j you like tin* big canvas with broad bead nnd ’nurfted “What ’ effects: I like the miiUaturr and the well-drawn etching." “Which make* u» a very happy com­ bination." -said Peterson. "The pearls, don’t forget, are your Job. The big thing"—he turned to the other, and a trace of* excitement came into bls voice—“the big thing Is mine." The sound of the door opening made both men wing round i&stantly; then Peteraon stepped forward with a smile ns Irma entered. * “Back, my dear. 1 hardly expected you so soon." In a few words he told the girl what had happened. and she dapped her hands together delightedly. “Assuredly I shall have to marry that man."' idle cried. “He is quite the least boring individual I have mei in this atrocious country." She wit down and lit a cigarette. “1 saw Wal­ ter tonight. He came over especially to we you. They want you there for a meeting, at the Ritz." Peterson frowned. "It’s most inconvenient.” he re­ marked with-a shade of annoyance In his voice. “Did he say why?" “Among other things I think they’re uneasy about rhe American,'* she an­ swered. “My dear man, you can easi­ ly slip over for a day." . “Of course 1 can," said Peterson Irritably; "bitt that doesn’t alter the fact that It’s inconvenient. Tilings will be shortly coming to a head here, and I want to be on the spot. How­ ever—’’ He started to walk up and “Because Dear Freddie Has Told Me down the room, frowning thoughtfully.

"I must see the Yank before I go to Faris. We’ll have him down here now. Give him an injection, Henry—and, by God, we’ll 'make the fool •sign. Then I can actually take it over to the meeting with me." He strode to the door, followed by Laklngton; and the girl In the chair stood up nnd stretched her arms above her head. For a moment or two Hugh watched her; then he. too, stood up­ right and eased his cramped limbs. "Make the fool sign." The words echoed through his brain, and be stared thoughtfully at the grey light which showed the approach of dawn. What was the best thing to do? “Make" with Peterson generally imnlled torture.

It was half an hour before Drum mond decided that It was safe to start exploring. First he took off his shoes, and tying the laces together, he slung them around his neck. Then, .ns si lently as he could, he commenced to scramble upward. It was not an easy operation; on» slip and nothing could have stopped him sliding down arid Anally crash­ ing Into the garden below, with a broken leg, at thrf very least, for his pains. In addition, there was the risk of dislodging a slate, an unwise proceeding in a house where most of the occupants slept with one eye open. But at last he got his hands over the ridge of the roof, and In another mo­ ment he was sitting straddlewlae across It. A sudden rattle close to him mad' him start violently; only to curse him­ self fur a nervous ass the next mo­ ment. and lean forward eagerly. One of the blinds had been relensed from Inside the room, and a pale, diffused light came Altering out Into the night from the side of the glass roof. He was rilll craning backward and for­ ward to try and And some chink through which lie could see, when, with a kind of uncanny deliberation, one of the panes of glass slowly opened. It wut worked un a ratchet from Inside, and Hugh bowed his thunks to the unseen operator below. Then he leant forward cautiously, and peered in. . . . The whole room was visible to him, and ids Jaw tightened as be took in the scene. Ip an armchair, smoking as unconcernedly as ever, sat Peter­ son. He was reading a letter, and occasionally underlining some point with a pencil. Beside him on a table was a big ledger, and every now and then he would turn over a few pages and make an entry.

A bad accident was averttffi in Nash­ ville Saturday night through the care­ ful driving of a car. yet many cars bowl along at fifteen to thirty miles an hour, crowds or no crowds. We hope it will not be necessary td have a bad accident to render the drivers more careful.

Chemists tell us that sweet corn loses 50 per cent of Its sugar contents within four hours af­ ter it has been removed from the stalk. . Corn, beans, peas and all other vegetables used for canning, drying, or table use should be prepared as soon as possible after they are gath­ ered, if vegetables of high quality are desired. Make your garden work all sum­ mer by sowing a succession of crops. Succession crops are valuable because they furnish a supply of fresh vege­ tables for tall and winter use. Try these for planting now In the spaces where the early short-season crops have been grown: Bush beans, turnip beets, lettuce, summer radish­ es, winter radishes, kobl-rabi, ruta­ baga. turnip, and Chinese or celery cabbage. There Is still time to sow seeds ot perennial flowering plants. Make the soil in which they are sown very fine and keep it cool and moist by shading and frequent watering. HOW DO YOU SAY IT? By C N. LURIE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them THE USE OF -THE." HIS little word, which Is called by grammarians the definite arti­ cle, Is often misused, being placed In sentences where It does not belong, and being left out where it should be used. Often such misuse causes mlsunderstarding of the meaning of the writer or siieaker. For example^ suppose you say, •’The president and secretary of the lodge attended the meeting." Thia is correct if the of­ fices of president and secretary are united In one person; that Is, if there is one man who is both president and secretary. But if there are two men, one of whom Is the president and the other is the secretary, the sentence should read. "The president and tho secretary of the lodge attended the meeting.” The article should be re­ peated ; then there is no room for mlsunderstanding the speaker or tho writer. When we say, "The black and white horse,” we mean one horse which is marked with the two colors; but when we say, “The black horse and tbs white horse." we mean two horses, oos black and one white.

Don’t Let Any Smooth-Tongued Agents Deceive You The assessments of the Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance' Company are NEVER any larger than are necessary to keep the Company in a sound financial condition and enable it to pay its losses FULLY AND PROMPTLY. That’s the only kind of a Company that’s worth while belonging to, because when you meet with loss you get your money promptly just at the time YOU NEED IT. No Com­ pany can pay its losses fully and promptly UNLESS it makes its assessments large enough to fully cover them. In 1920 this Company actually PAID OVER A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN LOSSES—more than DOUBLE what we ever paid out before in any one year. No one was to blame for it, and nothing could prevent it. It was a hard year for us, just as every business man and every farmer occasionally experiences a bad year. But with our unprecedented losses of OVER A HALF MIL.LION DOLLARS TN 1920, there was but ONE THING for us to do In 1921 to protect our Policy Holder, and that was to' levy a larger assessment in 1921, pay back the money wa had to borrow and leave us a comfortable cash balance for the future to help meet any unexpectedly large losses that might come. i Really, a woman’s leg is somuch ____ better looking in every way than a man's leg that It’s no wonder the men don’t really hate to take a sly glance at ’em when they get a chance. 2 This Company TODAY is in the BEST and STRONGEST position it has ever been. Ejery cent of indebtedness HAS BEEN PAID; we have OVER 260 MILLIONS of insurance on our books; we have OVER >325,000 on deposit in Banks and drawing interest. This money belongs to our Policy Holders. Any Policy Holder who listens to any of these oily-tongued agents and cancels his policy voluntarly gives up his share of that >325,000. More than that he will HAVE to stand the expense of Joining any other Company which Includes a good-sized commission to the agent—and THAT’S what he’s Interested in far more than he is in YOUR GOOD. And still more than all this, you will forfeit your membership in the OLDEST and STRONGEST Windstorm Insur­ ance Co in Michigan, with its record of more than 35 years of successful operation. The matter of protection against Cyclones a*d Windstorms is of growing Importance to EVERY property owner. Our alm is to make the Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company of GREATER SERVICE to you than it has EVER BEEN. If any smonth-tongnod Agent or Agitator comes to your home and, through misrepresentation or otherwise, seeks to induce you to CANCEL your policy in this Company, Just Jump into your auto, or on the train, talk with bankers or business men of Hastings. Then come to our office and let us SHOW YOU the system we have of looking after your business. Well gladly answer any questions you may want to inquire about regarding this Company.

Monday he made a trip to Lake Twenty-one In quest of some members ot the finny tribe. Were his efforts rewarded? Of course they were. Bill caught two nice bass and as is his custom put them on a stringer and hung them over the side of the boat. The sad part ot the story has yet to be told.

The neighbors may probably have suspicioned fire the other day when they saw Adolph Dause climbing around on the roof of the Townsend domicile with a garden hose In hia hand, but such was not the case. Adolph bad engaged to patch up the roof, which was leaky in spots, ana in removing a broken shingle had un­ covered a small nest of yellow jackets. A couple of birds got inside his shirt sleeve and commenced leaving trade marks, bo Adolph made a hasty but temporary retreat. Armed with the garden hose he again ascended to the roof, routed out the Jackets, which were probably unaccustomed to mois­ ture, and completed the job.

Camels are as good as it’s pos­ sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of fine tobaccos to make a cigarette. B Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the best cigarette it’s possible to buy. Nothing is done simply for show. Take the Camel package for instance. It’s the most perfect packing science can devise to pro­ tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper —secure foil wrapping—revenue stamp to seal the fold and make the package air-tight But there’s nothing flashy about it You’ll find no extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows. Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And remember—you must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality. If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest cigarette you can imagine—and one entirely free from cigaretty aftertaste, It’s Camels for you. Camel • I-* ” eeck-l-MM- t inf • Jfckau'. WluUS WrOng?

I remembut der villache hangman in Poland." dot too. unt your gran'fader vos der pleased than ever with it, and many who had actually cancelled their Policies have ordered their policies restored after learning the real facts. There isn’t anything about the actual condition of this Company that we have concealed, or would want to conceal. We have given the actual FACTS in our advertisements, but if any mem­ ber, at any time, wants to know anything concerning any points we have not covered in our ad­ vertisements, if he will call at our office we will be pleased to inform him. We have frankly told you that the year of 1920 was the hardest one ever experienced in the history of this Company. We actually PAID OVER A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN LOSSES— .more than double whac we ever paid before. The largest part of these losses we paid by money we had to borrow from Banks in various cities in Michigan, because we did not have the cash on hand to pay them. Thia MONEY we BORROWED from the Banks HAD TO BE PAID BACK, with interest. In view of our extremely heavy losses in 1920 there was only ONE THING to do in 1921, and that was to levy an assessment large enough to pay back the money we had borrowed from the Banks to pay our losses, and leave us with a comfortable working balance on hand to help pay oth* ' er losses in 1911. That Is what we did, and we di*d it by levying an assessment only a little larger than the usual assessment. And this Is our ACTUAL CONDITION tbday:— Our ADJUSTED LOSSES have ALL BEEN PAID; our LOANS from the Banks have ALL been repaid, and in doing this we have established a CREDIT that will stand this Company well in hand should it ever gpt in a position where it will need money. We have oxer >300,000 cash on hand, and over 250 MILLIONS of insurance in force. No man can figure out IN ADVANCE what our losses are going to be for any given year. They may be extremely heavy, as they were in 1920, or they may be yery light. We feel that PRUDENCE., GOOD, BOUND BUSINESS, and the BEST INTERESTS OF EVERY MEMBER of this Company, de­ mands that the Company’s finances be ALWAYS kept in first class condition in /Order to meet; aiF losses PROMPTLY and FULLY. We NEVER want to overlook the FACT thal heavy losses may come some year when it win not be as easy to borrow several hundred thousands of dollars from ‘ 4 h the Banks as readily as we were able to do last year. THEN a comfortable surplus will be AP- 4 PREC1ATED more than ever before, by every member unfortunate enough to meet with loss. Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Co. Wm. E.

Excessively high freight rates, scanty and non-elastlc credits, and the collapse of foreign markets are held largely responsible for the pre­ sent financial condition of the farm­ ers, agree county farm bureau mem­ bers of Midland. Gratiot, Calhoun and Saginaw counties in reports of community hearings on the Ameri­ can Farm Bureau Federation ques­ tionnaire. "What is the matter with the farmers’ business?" Too many middlemen In some lines of business, farmers forced to sell at pre-war prices and pay nearly war­ time prices tor all manufactured goods, and the fact that nearly ev­ erything the farmer has to sell won’t bring even cost of production were given as other contributing causes to the farmers’ present distress. Farmers said that they’could not do business on 60 to 90 day notea when the nature of their investment made necessary assured credit from six months to one year or more. In­ stances were cited of freight rates swallowing whole carloads of pro­ duce and bringing the farmer notning but a bill for completion of the freight payment. Oats, .beans, milk, beets, pork, beef and sugar beets were shown to be going to market for less than cost of production. Remedies suggested by the farm­ ers were changes In banking laws and practices which woald grant the farmer long-time assured credit, a reduction in rail rates, granting of credit to needy foreign countries now in need of our agricultural products and a re-adjustment In prices on the part of other interests than agricul­ ture. The Michigan reports were pre­ sented, together with returns from farm bureau counties in 47 other states, to a Congressional Board of Agriculture Inquiry at Washington, now Investigating the condition of agriculture.

V_ ’ Tops are Ln again. Everybody’s spinning them. Not only the boys, grown up and growing up. but girls, who in other days would have been called tomboys had they dared to spin a top in public. To be a real modern top-spinner today you don’t, need a string and a nice cement sidewalk. -* Just -a pocketful of small change. For the tops are'h’t what they used to ** be. Now, instead of being round, they are hex­ agonal or something, with each lit­ tle hex containing a message of its own. The top spins a few times, staggers and lies still on its side, like a baby, till aroused. The .side that is up carries a message to the spinner. The message is something harmless and cryptic, such as, "Put in two." "Tak»eut one." "Take the pot,” "Put in four." Eventually, the effect is similar to sitting In a ten­ cent limit session, only the thrills come oftener. As a mild form of gambling k seems to have everything. Brains aren’t required. Nothing to discard or draw to; you just dv as you are told. The little top has possibilities. Im­ oastor of a > church rhurrh agine yourself as pastor with a congregation of tightwads. How much tjme and trouble it would save, instead of wrestling with the instincts of generosity, long since frozen into uselessness. to look the bunch over with a cold eye, spin the top once, and then, announce to I bo waiilng assemblage : "Everybody ante.” tan Msabfacturer.

And then, to crown every­ thing. while the uproar was at Its height, the native on the floor, open­ ing one heady and somewhat dazed eye, realized that things looked un­ healthy. Unnoticed, he lay “doggo" for a while; then, like a rabbit which has aimoMt been trodden on. he dodged between the legs of the men in the room, and vanished through the open door. Taken by surprise, for a mo-, ment no one mofed: then, simultane­ ously, they dashed, into the passage. It «u finpty. and Hugh, glancing up, saw the American detective advancing toward them along the corridor. “What’s the trouble, captain?" he asked as he Joined the group. “A friend of the management elected to spend the night on the top of my cupboard. Mr. Green," answered Drum­ mond, "and got cramp . hidf-way through." The American guzed ut the wreck­ age in silence. Then be looked at Hugh nnd what he saw on that worthy’s face apparently decided him to maintain that policy. In fact, it was not till the night-porter and his attendant minions had at Inst, and very dubiously, withdrawn, that he again opened Ills mouth. “Ix>oks like a hectic night,” he mur­ mured. "What happened?" Briefly Hugh told him what had occurred and the detective whistled softly. "Blowpipe and poisoned darts." he raid shortly, returning the tube to Drummond. “Narrow escape — d—d narrow! Look at your pillow." Hngh looked: embedded in the linen were four* pointed splinters similar to the one he held In bls hand; by the door were three more, lying on tl«e floor. “An engaging little, bird," he laughed; “but nasty to look at." He extracted the little pieces of wood and carefully placed them in an empty match-box: tlie tube he put In­ to his cigarette-case. "Might come In handy: you never know," he remarked casually. . “They might If you stand quite still," said the American, with a sudden, sharp command in his voice. "Don't' move." Hugh stood motionless, staring at the speaker, who with eyes fixed on bls right forearm, had stepped forwarjJ. From the loose sleeve of his pajama coat the detective gently pulled another dart and dropped It Into the match-box. “Not fhr off getting you that time, captain," he cried cheerfully. “Now you've got the whole blamed outfit." THREE It wns the Comte de Guy who boarded the boat express at the Gare du Nord the next day; It was Carl Peterson who stepped off the boat ex­ press at Boulogne. And it was 'only Drummond’s positive assurance which convinced the American that the two characters were the same man. He was leaning over the side of the boat reading a telegram when be first saw Hugh ten minutes after the boat had left the harbor; and if he had hoped for a different result to the In­ cident of the night before, no sign of It showed on his face. Instead he waved a cheerful greeting to Drum­ mond. “This Is a pleasant surprise,” he re­ marked affably. “Have you been to Paris, too?" For a moment Drummond looked at him narrowly. Was It a stupid bluff, or was the man so sure of bis power of disguise that he assumed with cer­ tainty he had not been recognized? And It suddenly struck Hugh that, save for that one tell-tale habit—a habit which; In all probability, Peter­ son himself was unconscious of—he would not have recognized him. “Yes,” he answered lightly. "I came over to see how you- behaved your­ self !*’ "What a pity I didn’t know!" said Peterson, with a good-humored chuckle. He seemed In excellent spirits, as be carefully tore the telegram Into tiny pieces and dropped them overboard. “We might have had another of our homely little chats over some supper. Where did you stay?" "At the Ritz. And yon?” “I always stop, at the Bristol," an­ swered Peterson. "Quieter than the Ritz, I think." FOUR “Walk right in. Mr. Green." said Hugh, as, three hours later, they got out of a taxi In Half Moon street "This is my little rabbit-hutch." He followed the American up the stairs, and produced his latchkey. But before he could even insert It in the hole the door was flung opeh, and Peter Darrell stood facing him with evident relief in his face, "Thank the Lord you’ve come, old son." he cried, with a brief look at the detective. “There’s something do­ ing down at Godaiming I don’t like.” He followed Hugh Into the sitting, room. “At twelve o'clock today Toby rang up. He was talking quite ordinarily— you know the sort of rot he usually gets off his chest—when suddenly he stopped quite short and said, ’My God! What do you want Y I could tell he’d looked up. because his voice was muf­ fled. Then there was the sound of a scuffle, I heard Toby curse, then noth­ ing more. I rang and rang and rang— You'd Remove Him.’ no answer." "What did you do?"

"Anything through -from him?” - I “Nut *a word. ’. There's foul play, or PH eat my hat," ’ ■» Bui Hugh did not answer. With a look on his face which even Peter had never seen before, he whs reading the letter. It was short nnd to the point,but he read It three times before he spoke. “When dlu this come?" he asked. "An hour ago." answered the oth(»r. "I very nearly opened It." “Read IL” said Hugh. He handed It to Peter and went to the door. "Denny," he shouted, “I want my car round at once." Then he came back Into the room. "If they’ve hurt one hair of her bend.” he said, hls voice full of a smoldering fury. “I’ll murder that gnng one by one.with my ‘bare hands." , “Say. captain, may I see this let­ ter?" said the American; and Hngh nodded. “ ’For Pity's sake, come at once,’" road the detective aloud. " The bearer of this Is trustworthy.’” He thought­ fully picked hls teeth. "Girl’s writ­ ing. Do you know her?”"My fiancee." said Hugh shortly. “Certain?" snapped the American. "Certain!” cried Hugh. "Of course I am. I know every curl of every let­ ter.” "There Is’ such a thing as forgery," remarked the detective dispassionately. "D—n It,.man,” exploded Hugh; "do you Imagine I don't know my own girl’s writing?" “A good many bank cashiers have mistaken their customers' writing be­ fore now," said the other, unmoved. “I don’t like It. captain. A girl ’ in real trouble wouldn’t put In that bit about the bearer." "You go to h—I," remarked Hugh briefly. "I’m going to Godaiming.” “Well," drawled the American, “not knowing Godalmlng. I don't know who scores. But. If you go there—I come too.” "And me." said’ Peter, brighten­ ing up. Hngh grlnnn'Hl. "Not you. old son. If Mr. Green will come. I'll be delighted; but I want you here at headquarters." He turned round ns his servant put hls head In at the door. “Car here, sir. Do you want a bag packed?" “No—only my revolver. Are you ready. Mr. Green?” “Sure thing,” said the American. “1 always am." "ta»cn we’ll move." And Peter, watching the car resignedly from the window, saw the American grip hls seat with both bands, and then raise them suddenly In silent prayer, while an elderly • lady fled with a scream to the safety of the area below. They did the trip in well under the hour, and the detective got out of the car with a faint sigh of relief. Drummond dodged rapidly through the bushes on his way to The Larches; and when the American finally over­ took him, he was standing by a side­ door knocking bard on the panels. “Seems kind of empty," said the de­ tective thoughtfully, as the minutes went by and no one came. "Why not try the front door?” “Because It’s In sight of the other house,” said Hugh briefly. Tm going to break In.” He retreated a yard from the door, then, bracing hls shoulder, he charged it once. And the door, as a door, was not . . . Rapidly the two men went from room to room—bedrooms, serv­ ants' quarters, even the bathroom. Everyone was empty: not a sound could be heard In the house. Finally, only the dining room remained, and as they stood by the door looking round, the American shifted hls chew­ ing gum to a new point of vantage. “Somebody has been rough-housing by the look of things,” he remarked judicially. “Looks like a boozing den after a thick night.” “It does," remarked Hugh grimly, taking in the disorder of the room. Tlie tablecloth was pulled off, the telephone Iny on the floor. China and glass, smashed to pieces, littered the carpet; but what caught hls eye, and caused him suddenly to step forward and pick It up. was a plain circle of glass with a black cord attached to It through a small hole. “Algy Longworth’s eyeglass," he muttered. "So he's been caught too." And it was at that moment that, clear and distinct through the still evening nlr, they heard a woman’s agonized scream. It came from the house next door, and then Drummond darted forward. “Stop, you young fool," the Ameri­ can shouted, but be was too late. He watched Drummond, running like a stag, cross the lawn and dis­ appear In the trees. For a second he hesitated; then, with a shrug of square shoulders, he rapidly left the house by the way they had entered. And a few minutes later, Drummond's car was skimming back toward London, with a grim-faced man at the wheel. And the owner of the car was lying In blissful unconsciousness in the hail of The Elms, surrounded by a half a dozen men. CHAPTER X in Which the Hun Nation Decreases by One. ONE Drummond had yielded to impulse— the blind, all-powerful Impulse of any man who is a man to get to the wom­ an be loves if she wants him. As he bad dashed across the lawn to The Elms, with the American's warning cry echoing in hls ears, be had been Incapable of serious thought. Subconsdpuah* he had known that, from ev­ ery point ot view. n wiu> the art or a madman. that he was deliberately put­ ting hls head Into what. In all prob­ ability, waa a carefully prepared noose; that, from every point of view, he could help Phyllis better by re­ maining a free agent outside. But when k girl shriek*, and the man who loves her h<‘ars th arguments begin to look tired1 And what little caution might have remained to Hugh com­ pletely vanished as he saw the girl watching him with agonized terror In her face, from an upstair window, as be dashed up to the bouse. It was only for a brief second that he saw her; then “he disappeared suddenly, as If snatched away by some Invisible person. , “I’m coming, darling.” He had given one wild shout,, and hurled himself through the door which led into the house from the garden. A dazzling light ot Intense brilliance had shone In Ids face, momentarily blinding him; then had come a crushing blow on the back of bls, head. One groping, wild step forward, and Hugh Drummond, dimly conscious of men all round him, had pitched forward on hls face into utter oblivion. “It's too easy." Laklngton's sneer­ ing voice broke the silence, as be looked vindictively at the unconscious man. "So you have thought before, Henry,” chuckled Peterson. “And he always bobs up somehow. If you take my advice you’ll finish him off here and now, and run no further risks." "Kill him while he's unconscious?" Lakington laughed evilly. “No, Carl, not under any circumstances what­ ever. He has quite a -lengthy score to pay, and by God! he’s going to pay It this time.” He stepped forward and, kicked Drummond twice in the ribs with a cold, animal fury. “Well, don’t kick him when he's down, guv’nor. You’ll ’ave plenty o’ time afte^r." A hoarse voice from the circle of men made Lakington look up. “You cut it out, Jem Smith,” he snarled, “or I might find • plenty of time after for others beside this young swine." The ex-puglHst muttered un­ easily under Ids breath, but said no more, and it was Peterson who broke the silence. “What are you going to do with him?” “Lash him up like the other two," returned Lakington, "and leave him to cool until I get back tomorrow. But I'll bring him round before I go, nnd Just talk to him for a little. I wouldn't like him not to know what was going to happen to him. Antic­ ipation' Is always delightful." He turned to two of the men standing near. “Carry him Into my room," he ordered, “and another of you get the rope." And so It was that Algy Longworth and Toby Sinclair, with black rage and fury In their hearts, watched the limp form of their leader being car­ ried Into the central room. Swathed in rope, they sat motionless and Im­ potent, In their respective chairs, while they watched the same process being performed on Drummond. He was no amateur at the game, was the rope-winder, and by the time he hud finished. Hugh resembled nothing so much as a lifeless brown mummy. Only hls b*nd was free, and that lolled forward helplessly. Lakington watched the performance for a time; then, wearying of It, he strolled over to Algy’s chair. “Well, you puppy," he remarked, “are you going to try shouting again?” He picked up the rhinoceros-hide rid­ ing-whip lying on the floor, and bent it between hls hands. "That wale on your face greatly improves your beauty, and next time you’ll get two, and a gag as well.” “How’s the jaw, you horrible bit of dreg?” remarked Algy Insultingly, nnd Toby laughed. ’Don’t shake hls nerve, Algy,” he Implored. “For the first time in his filthy life he feels safe in the same room as Hugh." 'The Lxunt seemed to madden Lnkington, who sprang across the room and lashed Sinclair over the face. But even after the(sixth cut no sound came from the helpless mnn, though the blood was streaming down inside his collar. Hls eyes, calm and sneering, met those of the raving man In front of him without a quiver, and, at last, Peterson himself intervened. ’ “Stop it, Lakington.” Hls voire was stern as he caught the othert up­ « moemng unue. usxmgron m.a ummtumbler on u table do«e by.

In a low voice which, despite himself, shook a little. “Yo». are the Crat tuun who hes ever dHMt that, and I sltall treasure the memory of that blow.” “I’d hate it to be a lonely memocji.'j" remarked Lakington. “So here’s ase.other, to keep it company."

She will have to begin at the bottom, but she stands an excellent chance to >et wet! up to the top. Take the case of a woman who has recently been made assistant secre­ tary to the New York Trust company. Her special work will be to assist the clients of the company to prejiare their personal budgets, and to advise mi­ nors in the charge of the company now best to manage their allowances. There la 1$ real opportunity'for women who are capable of it to do very valurble and uell-paid work in this line. Another woman la employed by the *luuranty Trust company In the ca­ pacity of bond salesman. She is as yet. I one of the very few women who are I maklpg a success In this business, but j her opinion Is that It Is a work worn- , en can do well. Any girl who has a leaning toward finance will be wise to specialize In ■ some good school. She is advised to ! take a Job in some 2nnnclal house at the same time that she is taking her ! course at night school. Her job will j probably be a small one, but it will help out her theoretical work Immense­ ly to be In actual touch with condi­ tions in a-financial office or bank. There Is a dignity about work of this sort that appeals to many girl.who have graduated from college and who do not want to enter the ordi­ nary office. What Is more. It holds out fine po!udhinth*s. But It requires a type of mind that Is not found in every woman. If you have tbe gift, and get the training, you now stand i a good chance of finding full opportu- ; nlty to go as far as your capacities per- ! mlt.

It’s the best packing science has devised to keep cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste. Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack­ age and keep it air-tight And note this I There’s nothing flashy about the Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense that must come out of the quality of the tobacco. Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on merit alone. Because, men smoke Camels who want the taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth, refreshing mildness and their freedom from cigaretty aftertaste. Camels are made for men who think for them' Effect of Wrong Books.

The English swine had moments Of brightness, ami he went over am! closet! the door. Theo he resumed the operation of untying the rope; and. since it was performed Itehind the chair he was In no position to eee the look on Drummond's face. Only the two spectators could see that, and they had almost ceased breathing Jn their excitement. That he had a plan they knew; what It was they could not even guess. At last the rope fell dear and the German sprang back. “Put the case on the table.” he cried, having not the slightest intention of coming within range of those formid­ able arms. “Certainly not." said Hugh, “until you undo my legs. Then you shall have, it.” Quite loosely' he was holding the case In one hand; but the others, watching his fore, sow that it was strained and tense. “First I thte notes must have." The German strove to speak conversation­ ally, but all the time he was creeping nearer and nearer to the back of thechalr. "Then I your legs undo, and you may go." Algy'».warning cry rang out slmuL tnneously with the lightning dart of the Boche’s hand as he snatched at the cigarette-case over Drummond's shoul­ der. And then Drummond laughed a low, triumphant laugh. It was the move be had been hoping for, and the German’s wrist was held fast In his v!se-llke grip. His plan had suc­ ceeded. And Longworth and Sinclair. who had seen many things In their Ilves, the remembrance of which will be with them tin tbelr dying day. hod never seen and are never likely to see any­ thing within measurable distance of what they saw In the next few min­ utes. Slowly, Inexorably, the German's arm was being twisted, while he ut­ tered gasping cries, and beat linpotently at Drummond’s head with his free hand. Then at last there was a dull crock as the ann broke, and a scream of pain, as he lurched round the chair and stood helpless in front of the soldier, who still held tlie cig­ arette case in his left hand. They saw Drummond open the cig­ arette case and take from It what fooked like a tube of wood. Then he felt in his pocket and took out a match-box, containing a number of long thin splinters. And, having fitted one of the splinters Into the tube he put the other end in hia mouth. With a quick heave they saw him Jerk the German round and catch his unbroken arm with his free left hand. And the two bound watchers looked at Hugh's eyes as he stared at the moan­ ing Boche, and saw that they were hard and merciless. There was a sharp, whistling hiss, and the splinter flew from the tube into the German’s face. It bung from his cheek, and even the ceaseless move­ ment of his bead failed to dislodge IL "I have broken your arm, Boche," said Drummond at length, “and now I “And Now I Hava Killed You. Sorry About It" have killed you. I'm sorry about it; I wasn’t particularly anxious to end your life. But it had to be done.” The German, hardly conscious of what he bad said owing to tbe pain in his arm, was frantically kicking the Englishman's legs, still bound to tbe chair; but the Iron grip on bls wrists i denly came the end. With one dread- jerked himself free, and fell doubled ~ d for a while he cou do not!iIng hut' rub them with bis -------hands, tin the binod returned and be । could feel once more. Then, slcwly and painfully, he tot­ ■ tered across !o the others and set them free as well. They were In an even worse condition than he had been; and it seemed m If Algy would never be ahle to stand again, so completely dead was his body from the waist downwards. But. at length, after what aeerned an eternity to Drummond, who realized only too well -that should the gang, come In they were almost as help­ less in their present condition ns if they were stlli bound in their chairs, the other two recovered. “Al! fit now? Good! We’ve got to think what we’re going to dO; for we’re not out of the worn! yet by two or three miles.” "Let’s get the door open,” remarked Algy. “and explore." _ Cautiously they swung It open, and stood motionless. The bouse was In absolute silence; tbe hall was de­ serted. “Switch out the light,” whispered Hugn. "We’ll wander round.” They crept forward stealthily In the darkness, stopping every now and then to listen. But no sound came to their ears; it might have been a house of the dead. Suddenly Drummond, who was In front of the other two, stopped with a warning hiss. A light was streaming out from under a door at the end of a passage and, as they stood watching IL they heard a man’s voice coming from the same room. Some one else answered him and then there was silence once more. At length Hugh moved forward again, and the others followed. And It was not until they got quite close to, tlie door that a strange, continuous,. noise began to be noticeable—a noise which caine most distinctly from the lighted room. It rose and fell with monotonous regularity; nt times It re­ sembled a brass band—at others it •died away to a gentle murmur. And occasionally It was punctuated with a strangled snort . . . "Great Scott!" muttered Hugh ex­ citedly, "die whole boiling tui’ch are asleep, or I’ll eat my hat." "Then who was It spoke?” said Algy. “At least two of ’em are awake right enough." And, as If in answer to his question, there came the voice again from in­ side the room. “Wai, Mr. Darrell, I guess we can pass on, and leave this bunch." With one laugh of Joyful amazement Hugh flung open the door, and found himself looking from the range of a yard Into two revolvers. • “I don’t know how you’ve done It, boys," he remarked, "but you can put those guns away. I hate looking at them from that end." “What the devil have they done to all your dials?” said Darrell, slowly lowering his arm. “We’ll leave that for the time,” re­ turned Hugh grimly, as he shut the door. “There are other more pressing matters to be discussed." He glanced round the room, and a slow grin spread over his face. There were some twenty of the gang, nil of them fast asleep. They sprawled gro­ tesquely ever the table, they lolled In chairs; they lay on the floor, they hud­ dled In corners. And, without excep­ tion. they snored and snorted. "A dandy bunch," remarked the American, gazing at them with aatlsfactlon. Then he turned to Drum­ mond. “Say now. Captain, we’ve got a lorry load of the boys outside; your friend here thought we’d better bring ’em along. So lt’» up to you to get busy.” . “Mullings and his crowd," said Dar­ rell, seeing tlie look of mystification on Hugh.*s face. For a few moments Drummond stood, deep In thought; then once ■gain the grin spread slowly over his face. "Get the hoys In. Peter: and get these lumps of meaC carted out to the lorry.

It pays to be careful Once made, the place for your dollar is a good, sound bank like ours, where it is always safe and subject to check.

Besides, your checks are always receipts for the money spent and your deposit book shows every one of your financial transactions.

Cox. head of the farm crops department number of samples of this plant. Consequently he has warned farm­ ers of the state to plant none but native grown seed from the north­ west. "Trefoil seed is very similar in ap­ pearance to alfalfa.** says Prof. Cox. ’but the yellow trefoil plant has very small value compared to alfalfa for forage, hence the farmer buying seed adulterated with trefoil Is directly J injured, the loss caused him being in proportion to the trefoil carried. "Great Care should be taken in purchasing alfalfa seed to be sure that the native grown seed from the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho or Utah is planted in Michigan. The Grimm. Baltic and Cossac varieties are the hardiest. Next to them good north­ era grown common alfalfa should be selected for Michigan planting." Farmer* Deny Co-Op. Movement Ij» Red. Farmers are not satisfied with the present system of grain marketing and the fact that they have started to create one ot their own for the purpose of keeping their products out of the hands of the speculators, to reduce present excessive handling costs and to secure the full return from their products cannot be con­ strued as socialistic or bol­ shevism. President C. H. Gustafson of the U. S. Gntln Growers. Inc., told the Kiwanis club at Lansing August 4. Mr. Gustafson denied that the grain growers were in any way con­ nected with the Non-PartSzan League of North Dakota, as the grain exchanges charge. "If you tell the farmer today that the present system of marketing is perfect and cannot be improved up­ on, be will not believe you. Mr. Gus­ tafson said. "He knows that there is something wtro^g with a farm Credits and Marketing system that compels farmers each year to dump 72 per cent of the grain crop on the market within sixty days in order to get a little money, and then see the speculators take the real profit from their grain." Mr. Gustafson said that the U. S. Grain. Growers. Inc., a national non­ stock farmer owned and controlled cooperative grain marketing orga­ nization. designed to handle all the farmers’ surplus grain through their own terminal markets, warehouses and export facilities, with only the handling charge deducted from the full return from the grain, is mak­ ing great strides in the western grain states.

We'll bet a yellow dog against a new, clean hundred dollar bill that th© new state corporations tax law will be declared unconstitutional by the courts. But then what?

The state can borrow not to exceed $250,­ 000 without a special election, the calling of which U out of the ques­ tion. The state just has to have that six millions, and it is a sate bet that if the law is declared unconsti­ tutional, Governor Groesbeck will call a special meeting ot the legis­ lature to remedy defects in the' law or enact another so that this sum may be collected. So it looks to a man up a tree as though the only logical thing for the corporations to do is to pay the tax, under protest if they so desire, and await the out­ come of the matter. It’s a sure thing they will have it to pay In the long run, anyway, and paying It now will save the state about $50,000 which, an extra session of the legis­ lature would com.

By tha way, that might affect some more of us besides the kids. William Jarrard, living near the factory, *has been raising one pet watermelon this year. The melon grew all by its lonesome in Bill's garden and it grew and grew until it was the pride of the family and the apple of Bill's eye. Glowingly they watched over that pet melon and proudly they saw it attain enor­ mous size. Sunday they had a bunch of company, and while the melon was not ripe enough to pick and serve, their guests just must have a look at it. So the procession started for the melon patch to admire the prize beauty of the east end. Imagine their dlsmgy and disgust when they discovered that there was no melon there. Some time between Saturday night and Sunday morning that lus­ cious fruit of the vine had been transferred from the vine to the he­ roic tummy of some predacidus van­ dal, and there is crape on~the back­ yard fence at the Jarrard home. 'Member years ago we raised just such a fine melon, which had come up of its own accord Id the editorial garden. And we cuddled Jt and Wa­ tered it and pelted St until it gave promise of 'urntshing us with a feed which would remain long in memory. Then one night it disappeared, very quietly and mysteriously, and we never knew anything more about It until much later in the season, when happening to accuse a certain young friend of the family he melted and admitted that he had a hand in the mysterious disappearance.

THE OHIO STATE LIFE INSURANCE CO. The Soil Pulverizer Crushes Lumps Fills Air Spaces Conserves Moisture Creates a Mulch Speeds Germination WHY A SOIL PULVERIZER WHAT YOU DON'T SEE The soil pulveriser is not recommended to replace any tillage tool which you ordi­ narily use. It simply finish­ es what the other seed bed makers begin. Under the old way. a field was plowed, disked, and smoothed with a peg-tooth harrow—but you know of many, many times when after, those operations were complete the field was far from smooth. There were great lumps of dirt still cluttering up the surface. Hard clods were scattered about and under the hot sun these became solid and utter­ ly devoid of. moisture. It is not the best kind of a seed bed to plant grain in. because the drill furrow openers will not penetrate evenly—some seed is scattered about on the surface to be eaten by the birds and the resulting stand is considerably under normal. Beneath the surface of a newly plowed field there are innumerable air spaces where one furrow strip overlaps the other. Unless the disk har­ row is used both before and after plowing, these air spac­ es are never completely fill­ ed in, but remain as pockets to wither the plant roots and retard the upward flow of sub-soil moisture. For many years back farmers have rea­ lized the need of some sort of toql to crush lumps nnd press out the concealed air spaces. Witness the makeshift de­ vices. such as plank crushers, log rollers, and other home­ made packers'/- These were very good In their way. but they were not efficient. They touched only the high spots and missed the hollows. They left the surface of the field flat, which soon cracked and provided an easy escape for moisture. . W. B.

IMAGINATION SAT the other day In the studio of a great artist and watched him as he made ready to begin a picture. As he placed the canvas upon the easel I asked him what he was to paint. The answer that be made to me was ao vivid and so strikingly told that I almost seemed to see upon the blank canvas the finished work. But I knew what I saw was only a dim counterpart of the thing that he saw, for in his Imagination the whole picture was as plain In Its form and as distinct in its colors. In Its then mental existence, as It was later to be to thousands of admiring eyes. I This world would be a sad and desolate place without imagination. Art would falter and science would dry up and blow away. Imagination Is the real mother of accomplishment. If tlie boy did not vision the man, did not imagine himself as he will be when he grows up, all tbe great Incentives of youth would vanish and a!l its endeavor disappear. Nothing Is so exhilarating a spur to endeavor as the imagination of what will result from effort. It is the Imaginings of what money will buy for us In necessities, com­ forts aud luxuries that keep us keen­ ly at its earning and conscientiously at Its saving. It is the Imagining of what may be the result that keeps the chemist In his laboratory through night hours or the student at his books when na­ ture would send him to bed. lie. Do you cultivate your Imagination? Do you guide It along right and use­ ful lines and direct it Into result­ getting endeavors? If you do not you are wasting a power that God bestowed on you when He said. “I.et them (man) have dominion over all the earth.” Imagination wjll help you to have that dominion if you use it rightly. It will help the weakest thing in all the earth to have dominion over you if you use ft wrongly. ' Base your imaginings on truth, give them a foundation ■ of fact and they will prove useful and fruitful, profitable and worth while. (Copyrtcht.) Mol Bwk Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. But when It comes just meet It with an optimistic view, Though skies are gray and cloudy just smile a bit and say. "The sun will shine tomorrow and chase the clouds away." Be generous, unselilsh. Be loyal, brave and true. But never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you. —Caroline Sumner. pforu'ered ev*ry progress Price 25c E. A. HANNEMANN * Baptist Church Announcements.

What are the different books it will be study­ ing this term? You don't know? Too bad. The child knows that you don’t know—that you don’t take in­ terest enough to find out—that you just leave it all to the mother and the teacher. Perhaps that is one reason the child does not take any greater in­ terest in its studies. It Is just fol­ lowing the example set by its father. Poor child! The highest grade plows, the new Deere sulky or gang, are now built with a new and valuable improvement. The John Deere quick detachable point saves the price of the many bolts required to attach points on other plows, and the Deere plow has the four great essentials of a wheel plow—quality of work, easy to manage, light draft, and most durable plow sold. If you don’t think it so, let us bring one out for you and show you what it will do. C. L. GLASGOW AS THE EDITOR BEES IT. Do you eat three good meals a day? You should consider yourself fortunate in the present condition of the world. Over in Europe there are millions and millions of people who are living on no more than one meal a day, while other millions do not have even that much. Starva­ tion is gathering them fn. The world is in a state of chaos. It is on Its back and can not rise again without infinite patience and much assistace. When a herd of steers become frightened they either mill around or stampede. The population of the world is much the same. It is badly fright­ ened—milling around—on the verge of a stampede—uncertain as to what to do or which way to turn. , We are less afflicted in America than in any other country’, and we should be proportionately thankful for what we have. While we are feasting on three meals a day there are other human beings who hunger for the crumbs we throw away. . the people know what he has for kale. Why not the same thing for this town? The expense would not be worth considering. The town authorities could have some small slips printed, on which could be set forth briefly the na­ ture of the various industrial enter­ prises of the town, as well as the op­ portunities that Are open to new en­ terprises. These could be distributed among the families ot the town, under an agreement that one is to be enclosed in every letter that is written, eith­ er business or private, continuing this practice daily from year to year. In this way those little advertis­ ing slips would find themselves in every nook and corner of the coun­ try. Their repeated appearanes would cause the town to be talked about, and would turn the eyes of industry seeking a new location our There is no better way of adver­ tising this community both -effective­ ly and economically.

Perhaps they will stand still and let you drive on by, and perhaps they won’t do anything of the kind. They are as notional as a pretty woman, but they lack finesse. Friday evening Roy was coming home from Lansing, and over near Vermontville, while he was bowling along at a fair clip, anxious to get home before supper got cold, a dratted cow suddenly popped out Into the highway, right in front of him. There was no time to do more than set his brakes and slack up a bit before he struck her amidships. That pesky cow did several highly fantastic evolutions and landed in the gutter, while Roy suffered the smashing of a headlight or two and a tender. Roy says the cow growled just like an angry dog, but got up and walked stiffly away, with every indication of being mortally offend­ ed but not seriously injured, except in the dignity, which is not thought to be a vital point.

In the language of the grammarian, the speaker does not make proper dis­ tinction between "saw." the preterit, or past, form of the verb “see,” and tbe past participle of the same word. The principal parts of "see" are as follows: Present, "set?" ; past, “saw" ; Imperfect participle, "seeing"; perfect participle, "seen". Therefore, the sen­ tence. should have been worded, “I saw him do It.” not “I seen him do it.” We hear a person say. “I have saw" or "I would have sawIn those cases, of course, the expressions should be. "I have seen," “I would have seen," since “seen" is the participle to be used after any form of the auxiliary or helping verb "have.** (Copyright.) -------- o-------- F If you have a bit of news, , Send it in; Or a joke that will amuse, Send Jt in; A story that is true.

The state board of equalization met in Lansing tbe other day and organized themselves Into a boost­ ers’ club. They raised the figures for the state over >2.200.000,006. Wayne will get the largest increase, and will hereafter pay over 40 per cent of the state tax. Last year Wayne's proportion was 30 per cent Barry county's valuation was >25.600,000. This boosters* organ­ ization set the figures at >34.885.000. And we would say that was an absurd and untruthful valuation, being over 50 per cent higher than the valuation as equalized oy the snj-ei visors. <f tl.ere is any way to reach the state hoerd and get ■ li-m to revise their ngu’es downward <t ought to be done. While the valuation of the c »unlv has been placed at whut seems an unwarranted sum, because of the boost In Wayne, this county will not pay so high a percentage as former­ ly. In 1920 this county paid .00568 per cent of the state tax. This year, if the board's valuation for the whole state stands, this county will pay .005201 per cent of the state tax.-*—Hastings Banner.

In America there are about the same number of men as there are women, and the latter are admired. courted and sought after, They take their choice. In Europe it is different, The war has . worked great havoc with the male population. There many millions more women than men. and this condition Is becoming worse daily through the emigration of vast numbers ot the men to other parts of the world. The surplus women of Europe are facing a dismal and hopeless future.

HUIOIDES CLAIM 215; DEATH RATE HIGHER THAN TYPHOID Estimate Michigan Lowes 2,000 Years of Productive Labor Thru Suicidal Deaths. While suicides do not show morbid an increase in Michigan in several states, the number or __ deaths from this cause is still alarm­ ingly high, according to reports for the first six months of 1921 receiv­ ed by the division of vital statistics of the state department of health. Suicidal deaths totaled 215 from Jan. 1 to July 1, giving Michigan a death rate from this cause of 11.3 per 100,000 population, a rate high­ er than the typhoid fever death rate. Of this number, 166 were males and 49 females; 122 were married, 47 were single, and the remainder wid­ owed or divorced. Firearms led all causes ot suicide with 60 deaths, 56 of which were males and 4 females; poison claimed 49 deaths, 32 men and 17 women; strangulation 47 deaths. 39 men and 8 women; instruments 23 deaths, 17 men and 6 women; drowning 16 deaths, 11 men and 5 women; as-, phyxla 13 deaths, 6 men and 7 wom­ en ; and other .means 7 deaths. Forty-three years was the average age of those committing suicide, though in reality comparatively few persons In this age group were in­ cluded, the preponderance of indi­ viduals being either considerably younger or older than 43 years. Sta­ tisticians of the division estimate that Michigan lost the equivalent of 2,000 years of one person’s produc­ tive labor through suicides during the first half of the present year.

A. WALKER. IMAGINATION SAT the other day in the studio of a great an 1st and watched him as he made ready to begin a picture. As he placed the canvas upon the easel I asked him whut be was to paint. The answer that tie made to me was so vivid and so strikingly told that I almost seemed to see upon the blank canvas the finished work. But I knew what I saw was only a dim counterpart of the thing that he saw, for in bis imagination tbe whole picture was as plain in its form and as distinct in its colors, in Its then mental existence, as It was later to be to thousands of admiring eyes. I This world would be n sad and desolate place without Imagination. Art would falter and science would dry up and blow away. Imagination Is the real mother of accomplishment. If the boy did not vision the man. did not imagine himself as he will be when he grows up, all the great incentives of youth would vanish and all its endeavor disappear, Nothing Is so exhilarating a spur to endeavor as the Imagination of what will result from effort. It Is the Imaginings of what money will buy for us in necessities, com­ forts and luxuries that keep us keen­ ly at Its earning and conscientiously at Its saving. It is the imagining of what may be the result that keeps the chemist It his laboratory through night hours or the student at his books when na­ ture would send him to bed. The arroxJ Geil began and multiplied his happiness and his ills alike. < It is one fuuction which man pos­ sesses which lie does not share with forms of life lower than himself. There are many animals who give proof of having the power of thought, even of reason. There Is not one that has ever shown the slightest evidence of be­ ing able to Imagine anything outside of something It has already experi­ enced. Do you cultivate your Imagination? Do you guide It nlong right and use­ ful lines and direct It into result­ getting endeavors? If you do not you are wasting a power that G<h1 bestowed on you when He said. “Let them (man) have dominion over ail the earth." Imagination will help you to have that dominion If you use it rightly. It will help the weakest thing in all the earth to have dominion over you If you use It wrongly. Base your imaginings on truth, give them a foundation • of fact and they will prove useful and fruitful, profitable and worth while. Mol Book Never trouble trouble UH trouble troubles you.

It runs right round the cracks of the door in­ dde the soap." He added a little more, ind carefully replaced the stopper. "Now, a detonator and a bit of fuse, and I guess we’ll leave the room." “It reminds one of those dreadful barbarians, the sappers, trying to blow­ up things," remarked Toby, stepping with some agility Into the garden; and a moment or two later the American lolned them. “It may be necessary to do it again,” he announced, and ns he spoke the sound of a dull explosion came from Inside the house. “On the other hand," he continued, going back Into the room and quietly pulling the safe door open. "It may not. There's your book. Cap­ lin." He calmly relit his cigar, as If safel>eDing was the must normal undernklng. and Drummond lifted out the ••avy ledger and placed It on the ta­ le. “Go out in relays, boys," he said to he group of men by the door, “and “What’s He Getting Four Payments of a Thousand Pounds For?" declare that the method of direct ac­ tion InNde u country - will produce a revolution.

' "Mr. Ditchling will be here for the meeting nt two, nnd Peterson will be late.” he announced slowly. “What's DlUrhUng when he's home?' asked the other. “One of the so-called leaders." answered Hugh briefly, turning over the pages of the ledger. ‘Here’s his dos­ sier, according to Peterson. ‘Ditchling.

A varying number of sub-districts in every main division had each their sub­ director and staff, and at some of the names Drummond rubbed his eyes in amazement. Briefly, the duties of every man were outlined: the locality In which his work lay. his-exact responsi­ bilities, so that overlapping was re­ duced to a minimum. In each case the staff was small, the work largely that of organization. But In each district there appeared ten or a dozen names of men who were euphemistically de­ scribed ns lecturers; while nt the end of the book there appeared nearly fifty names—both of men and women—who were proudly denoted as first-class lec­ turers. And If Drummond had rubbed his eyes nt some of the names on the organizing staffs, the first-class general lecturers deprived him of speech. "Why." he spluttered after a mo­ ment. "a lot of these people's names are absolutely’ housewold words In tne country. They may be swine—they probably are. Thank God!

Little MarLife?”, proved a most popular* mi ber. and us an encore she gj “Things You Love the Most Will Take a Jab at You.” Although on­ ly Ave years old, her pleasing person­ ality and her ability to recite is fast winning her favor. Dr. Powers’ presentation of “Mother", in the language of differ­ ent poets, added another treat to the feast of good things. His subject was well balanced, including both humor and pathos. Two numbers by a male trio and a volunteer recita­ tion by Mrs. Irvin Chapman render-: ed a Atting close to as delightful a meeting as has convened In some time. A pretty and delicious birth­ day cake made by Miss Marianna Stine was one ot the*features of the club dinner. The Assyria Ladies' Aid netted a neat sum by selling ice cream at this time.

He saw him conceal a smile, and then Valance Nes­ tor carried the good work on. “We’ll see what he says about you— impertinent blackguard." Hugh glanced over Crofter’s shoul­ der at the dossier. He Just had time to read: "Crofter. John. A consummate blackguard. Playing eutlrely for his own hand.

' NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1921 IS IT WORTH THE COST? Important papers are sometimes kept m • the home for the reason that the owner may better guard them. But often there is no occasion to refer to these papers for months at a time, and their safety is not carefully watched. Perhaps they are dis­ turbed while the owner is absent. Papers that represent wealth and proper­ ty are frequently wanted most when lost. Would it not be a far better plan in every instance to keep all valuables and import­ ant personal papers in a Farmers and Merchants Bank Sate Deposit Box, where only you have access to them. The cost of this convenience and protec­ tion is but a few cents per month.

The theme of the sermon last Sun­ day evening was, "The Parable of the Lost Sheep." The sheep knew It was lost. A lost sheep always BE&< tries to find its way buck to the'; fold but invariably it wanders far-■ peEo ther and farther away. In the case ' of the sheep ot the parable the kind shepherd went after the sheep "un­ til he found it." He did not trust a hireling but went himself. Just so with sinful men who by nature are lost and the more one tries to get saved, outside the Divine plan, the farther and-farther one wanders from God, salvation and heaven.

OSE by any other name would still be a rose, according to ety­ mologists. The fortunate possessor of one of the most popular flower names has a charmingly fragrant origin. It seems that all countries and languages agree in ex|>resslng a rose by Its color. Even the Syrian name for the oleander (rose laurel) is rodyon. Greece pro­ duced a Rhoda, which has since come to be a modern name of wide vogue. The first feminine names to be con­ nected with the fragrant flower allied a rose were Rohals and Roesla, which, curiously enough, are said to come from the French and Latin of fares, meaning fame, rather than from the flower. England's most famous Rohals was the wife of Gilbert of Gaunt. There were many Roeslas among the De Bohuns and De Veres and the wife of Fulbert de Dover in the reign of Henry II was so called. Ireland adopted the English form and changed It to Rose, whereupon It found vogue In all classes and Is still one of the most popular peasant took it and made names. Germany .................................... from it the diminutives, Rosl and Roschen. Rosita is a lyric form found only In Peru, but Is none the less charming. Our own whim of Latin­ izing our short feminine names, fol­ lowing the Spanish-American war, has made Bosita almost equivalent to Rose; certainly every Rose has an etymological right to call herself Rosi­ ta if she so fancies.

BERA & SONS HARDWARE Memory unfolds the bygone years With all their vanished hopes and fears; The mists are gone and. all Is clear. These are the things I see and hoar. A little child upon the floor Seeing life through an open door. The first pink buds of the flowers of May, The fragrant scent of new mown hay; The drowsy drone of busy bees, The rustle of wind in the tali pine trees; A whirr and a flash of golden wings. The melody that the wild bird sings; The murmur of distant woodland rills. The purple shadows on tbe hills; Roses against a garden wall, The summer sunshine over all. Purple asters by the road, The goldenrod’s bright precious loud; Crimson leaves in an autumn haze, The gorgeous Indian summer days; The first touch of the winter's frost, Something gained, something lost; The soft, white snow In drifts plied high. The tinkle of sleigh bells passing by. These things in Memory’s cherished store Were borne on a breeze through an open door. In mid-day ’thought or midnight dream I see in the river's winding stream— The clouds by day, the stars by night, The sun’s bright rays, the pule moon's light. I see tbe greenwood, dim and deep. Where elves their midnight trystings keep. An elfin ring in a mossy dell Where fairies weave their . magic spell. I hear the wild things* piping call; Enchantment lingers over all. I see thy tree embowered streets, Adown whose paths my childish feet Under the branches, green and cool, Have trudged in earlier days to .school. I hear the children's voices gay Calling to their mates at play. I see the lamp-light's golden ray Piercing the qusk at close of day. And hear the 'tread of eager feet. The greetings of neighbors as they meet. eleoming voice, 'a hearth-fire bright. Tbe chime of bells on the Sabbath Calling the penitent to prayer. Three curly beads at a mother's knee. All this and more you have given me, What have 1 to give to thee? The joys and' griefs of childhood hours Have faded with the springtime flowers; The ecstacles that childhood knows Have vanished like the melting snows. . Naught but the memories remain. A poignant pleasure, kin to pain. Out of the past they beckon me— Pale fragrant wraiths of yesterday. Still in my life you play your part, Dear little home town of my heart. If Genl ot the lamp were 1, All of life’s ills should pass thee by; Drought and disaster, hall and sleet. Naught but the best in life you'd meet. But since Aliadin's lamp was lost Much woe amid our joy is tossed. And I can only wish for thee Peace, happiness, prosperity. Much of joy. little of sorrow, The cares of today vanished tombr- Much of gain, little of loss, The gold of life'and not the dross; Much ot pleasure, little of pain. Sunshine following every rain; The pot of gold at the rainbow’s end, All of the blessings heaven can send. All these things and more I wish, But the greatest boon of all Is this; To live In your children’s hearts for­ ever, To be forgotten by them never. Be in their lives a guiding star Lighting their pathway near and far. Be the gold of. love, life’s precious metal. The diamond dewdrop on tbe petal Of the fairest flower life can offer, The radiant jewel in life’s coffer. Deep in their hearts be the love of home. Tho’ far form your pleasant paths they roam— Their wandering feet, so long astray. Shall return to you to rest for aye. Deep in my heart is this love for Dear home that means so much to me.

Miss Bernice Moxon, daughter cf the pastor of the North Castleton church, is in the hospital at Hast­ ings, where she underwent an op­ eration for appendicitis Sunday. We understand she is recovering nicely. Mrs. Christine Barnum, aged about 87, fell from the porch of her country home Friday and broke her hip. She was taken to the Pennock hospital at Hastings, where her in­ juries were attended to by Drs. An­ drews of Woodland and McIntyre of that place. Recovery is doubtful on account of her advanced age. Mr. Smalley and Harry Landis, two well-known farmers of this vi­ cinity. had a narrow escape from death Sunday, when they were at­ tacked by bumblebees while return­ ing from Hastings. While defend­ ing themselves from the bees Mr. Smalley lost control of his car, which went into the ditch and turned, over, pinning Mr. Landis under the car. He was badly bruised about the hips and back. Mr. Smalley was thrown clear of the car and escaped serious injury. Thf^car was damaged some. Nearly everybody from here was in Hastings Sunday to see the first train of cars ever used in America. It was a sight worth going far to see. Calvin’ Sawdy, a former resident of Woodland, died at his hope in Big Rapids recently. His brother, Willard Sawdy, lives near here. The body was brought here for burial in the Woodland cemetery.

"They umy he sent right enough, but whet het they arrive or not is a different matter. I don't somehow see Carl picking oakum.

But this time he dropped a piece of paper on the path, just at Hugh's feet, and the soldier, with a quick movement which he hardly stopped to analyze, covered It with his shoe. The girl hadn't seen the action; but then, as girls will Ho after such remarks, she was thinking of other things. Idly Hugh watched the saunterer disappear in the more crowded part of the esplanade, and for a mo­ ment there came onto his face a look which, happily for his wife’s pence of mind, she failed to notice. "Let’s go and eat, and after dinner I'll run you up to the top of the head­ land. ...” Together they strolled back to their hotel. In his pocket was the piece of paper; and who could be sending him messages in such a manner save one man—a man now awaiting his trial? In the hall he stayed behind to in­ quire for letters, and a man nodded to him. “Heard the news?” he inquired. "No." said Hugh. "What’s hap­ pened?* “That man Peterson and the girl have got away. No trace of ’em." Then he looked nt Drummond curious­ ly. “By the way,, you had something to do with that show, didn’t you?" "A little," smiled Hugh.

The millionaire stood confront­ ing his tormentor, who dropped back in his chair with n groan. “And when I refused, you tortured me. Look at my thumb." With a cry of horror the others sit­ ting at the table looked at the mangled flesh, and then at the man who had done it.

'About 9 o’clock the crowd commenc­ ed to gather and by noon- about 300 had arrived. The t forenoon was spent in meeting friends and getting acquainted. After a bounteous din­ ner of-which over 300 by actual 'count partook the crowd gathered •and were attentive listeners to the fine talks given. F. W. Bennett told of the many things the State Farm Bureau was doing for the farmer, of 'some of the things the National Fed‘eratlon of Farm Bureaus had done I In the way of securing favorable legislation and finished by showing how each individual should be true to Its logical organization and each 'local to the State Farm Bureau. Mr. . M. C. Townsend of Hastings made some very interesting remarks tellling some good stories and finished by announcing the short courses in 'Agriculture to be held in Hastings .'the coming winter. Following Mr. jTownsend. Mr. Gabbort of the Unl। versify of Wisconsin gave a short ' but very interesting discourse. Jas. IN.

The service brought out the largest crowd ever gathered Al’ of which tells us that other people liked L. Z. Slosson. De­ spite his frequent periods of ill health he never whimpered; he smiled through it all. Nothing in the world compares with a smile for making and keeping friends, and no matter' how depressed Mr. Slosson might be feeling ne always returned your greeting with that friendly smile. In addition to'his perennial good nature he loved the out of doors, which, when coupled with friendliness, makes a man a delightful compan­ ion. As* the writer along with Judge McPeek, Judge Boyles, Hayes e. -Wells, Dan Zant and W. C. Pegkett, were doing the last earthly ser­ vice for this sincere and kindly friend we thought of the second verse of Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Good Bye”, as being typical of how “L. Z." would, say farewell from his place on the hill: 1 am. going to my own hearthstone, Bosomed in yon green hills alone— A secret nook in a pleasant land.

Sunday afternoon as Mr. Smal.y and Harry Landis were coasting down the hill in front of Frank Crawford's home In East Carlton, 8 bumblebee lit on the shield of Mr. Smaliy's cap. Somehow, by in­ stinct perhaps, Mr. Smally realised that said Mr. Bee was too close to the end of hie node, and with one hand quickly proceeded to dislodge him. This gave the steering wheel a slight turn and off the road down the five foot embankment they went. Of course the car turned over and caught Harry fast, and Mr. Smally found himself standing on his head but free and clear. He lifted the car to free Harry, who at first did not realize that be was hurt mueb, but Monday morning he found him­ self too sore about the hips to get around without the aid of crutches. The windshield and car top were ruined, and all because of that bum­ ble bumblebee.—Woodland New>. "How djd Mr. Qrabcoin make his money?"

Of the early American inventions for the manufacture of nails the only one which has survived is that pat­ ented In 1786 by EzekinJ Reed of Bridgewater. Muss. Id 1888 cut nails were first 'made of steel, and wire nails were manufactured for the first time in the United States about 1851. Twenty-five years later Father Goobel, .a priest, began their manufacture In Covington, and the American'Wire and Nall company was established a year later, under bls leadership. The output of cut -nails has varied from 1,000.000 to 2,000,000 kegs a year, while their exportation rose from 1690, when It amounted to 20,000,000 pounds, to over ten times those figures In 1914.

What the young men and women of this country are In great­ est need of today Is sensible instruc­ tion in the business of life. . Teach them not only to work, but how to work, and what for. Give the school work a direct aim toward the main business of life. Let the young folks have a real chance. We sneer at the Germans, but we have to admit that they excel us in many things in the real work ot life. In their schools today they are teaching practical printing for one thing. Pract’ical photography for another thing. They not only teach methods, but they teach practice, so that when a stu­ dent has completed the course In, the high school he can take a camera to pieces, repair or adjust it. and as­ semble it again. They must be able to make good pictures, develop and print them, and be able to mix their own chemicals tor all the processes. Practical architecture and building construction are taught In the high schools, ns well as the use of car­ penter’s tools, draughting outfits, etc. Practical highway construction Is taught in the high scboolshlumfwy taught, from grading, drainage anil foundation to .the finishing of the road in ail approved styles of pave­ ments. We may never have another war with Germany, but is a certain thing that we shall have a commer­ cial war with Germany as well as Japan, and we shall lose out unless we get into the harness and work. The best and most real tljlng we can teach our boys and girls Is real ser­ vice to their country and to the world, and they can best do that by learning how to work in a practical way, with few frills and fancies.

Either Killed in Auto Wreck or Elec­ trocuted by Live Wire. John Coons, well known In Hast­ ings, where he had worked for George Smith at different times as a butch­ er and meat cutter, was the victim of an accident Sunday afternoon which cost him his life. Coons, who lived on a farm between Kalamo and Charlotte, had been to Hastings and was returning home. While driving along the state road near the old Heator farm, about five miles east of Hastings, it is supposed .he lost . control of the'car in some way and the Ford swerved out at the right side of the road, crashing into an it off at electric light pole,breaking _______ .. the ground and also about ten feet from the ground, letting the v^ires down on the car. The only injury to the car was a broken windshield. As Coons was alone it can not bedefinitely known whether the crash threw him out or that be was dazed and crawled out, but his right hand be­ ing badly burned it is thought he grasped the live wires and was elec­ trocuted. Sherman Endsley and son Ralph and James Endsley were passing and found Coons lying in lhe road a lit­ tle ahead of the car. As he was still gasping* for breath they summoned Dr. C. S. McIntyre from Hastings, but when the doctor arrived on the scene, a few moments later, life was extinct, all efforts to revive him meet­ ing with no response. The doctor found no bones broken except in one wrist, and was of the opinion that the man was electrocuted. Sheriff Burd and Coroner Sheffield were summoned and viewed the remains, and gathered what evidence they: could, after which they took the dead man back to Hastings. As soon as they were notified of | the accident the Thornapple Gas & Electric company had the current shut off. until the broken pole could be replaced and wires again placed out of danger to traffic. The car was smoking when found and as the men were afraid to touch it, they extinguished the fire by throwing gravel and dirt on the car. CASTLETON GRANGE.

U. 7.30 p. m.—Subject of sermon, "What do the Scriptures teach about hell?” Church covenant meeting on I Thursday evening at 7.80. All are invited to these services. There are yet two more discours­ es in this series of four special ser­ mons that being given Sunday eve­ nings. The subject for the one on October 2 is: “The Insignia ot the Christian life.” Now. about the one tor this com­ ing Sunday evening. There are all kinds of theories about that place called "hell”. The electrical wiz­ ard, Mr. Thomas A. Edison, has an-j nounced his opinion about bell, and j there are those that hold his view, i And some think it is a place of condttlonal Immortality. Again there i are those that believe it’s only a burning of the conscience. Still others think people get all the hell they.’ll ever get right here In this; life. And there are others that be- j lieve it’s a place of literal torment.! Notice the subject again: It's not ' any man's opinion, but “What do the I scriptures teach about hell?” Your own self-constructed opinion amounts to nothing unless It coincides with I the scriptures. "To the law and the I testimony, if they speak not accord­ Ing to these It Is because there is no I light in them.” Is there any neces­ sity today for preaching on this sub­ । ject? is there anything wrong go­ ing on throughout the whole world? What is that revolting news that comes from the movie capital of the world?

The clothes you wear, the shoes you walk In, the hat that shelters your head, all the necessities, to say noth­ ing of the luxuries, you enjoy are the fruit of your dependence upon other people. If you could analyze your needs for one day and count the human beings that labored to satisfy them with either toll or money, you would find that scores and scores of people hr.d been indirectly In your employ and working Ln your behalf. And, on the other hand, you have the satisfaction of knowing if you do an honest day’s work that you have labored to help scores of others. ' It is the lack of recognition given to the fact that we are all dependent each upon the other that leads to our greatest troubles. It is that that pits capital agidnst labor and labor against capital. It is that that causes the war between classes and the wars between nations. If you fully recognized your indebt­ edness to your fellow man, you would want to help Him because by doing so you would be Indirectly helping your­ self. If everybody in the world set out to gouge and cheat everybody else in the world, it would be only a short time before there would be utter chaos, commercially, and morally. It is because only a comparative few try at one time to get all they can regardless of methods or results that keeps the world on nn even keel and society from toppling to destruc­ tion. • The mure we recognize that we must rely and depend upon each other, tlie higher consideration we have for the good of the world as a whole and the more nearly we come to being truly civilized. God Ir. His wisdom made no one ab­ solute. The only auch power thnt has ever been bestowed has l»een placed and recognized by subjects who thought they needed to be ruled, which was a conclusion not.very complimentary to themselves. . It is really worth while for you to think for a few minutes on what an inefficient and Incompetent being you are when you divorce yourself from all outside aid.

You are what you are right now; not what I you hope to be some day; not what you think you are; not what; your friends think you are. There . Is no time like the present.

Farmers Endorse Near East Relief. Endorsing the coming Near East Relief campaign in Michigan as a movement meriting the support of every farmer In the state, the Michi­ gan State Farm Bureau Executive committee September 13. in a reso­ lution asked 97.000 members to sup­ port the campaign. contributing money, grain or produce as their cir­ cumstances would permit. The reso­ lution asked local farm bureaus and cooperative associations to work with members and to cooperate with the county farm bureaus in.the campaign. James J. Spillane, Michigan Near East Relief director, told the farm bureau that a national drive for 5 1-2 million bushels of grain wfll be made in behalf of the war-ravaged and suf­ fering peoples of Asia Minor and Ar­ menia, among them 160.000 children now in danger of starvation. Michi­ gan's quota is 100.000 bushels of grain.

Doc. Morris made most of tbe arrangements, because when Doc starts on- a fishing trip he wants to be real positive certain sure that they have everything that is necessary. In­ cluding bait. For this particular trip the bait was to be live frogs,.be­ cause this is the time of year when live frogs particularly appeal to the bass, and bass were what they were going after. So Doc hud a couple of boys go oift skirmishing for frogs and they brought back a nice lot of the Jumpers, which they had a hard time finding. So Doc, to make sure tbe frogs would be all right, laid them out on the luwi and sprinkled them good with water so they would be nice and fresh when wanted, and handy to pick up and put in the car the last thing. And then the big mutt (and that’s the least the rest of the gang called him) went away on the trip and left the frogs resting peacefully in their sack on the lawn. , And who do you suppose got ’em?

He wanted to come Friday, but she told him she would be away Friday. So he went Friday. And the woman wasn't at home. Just as she told him. but her old daddy was, and he let the rag man go into the woodshed and pick out the rags for himself. And the rag man picked out all tbe rags.

ONE BRAND ONE QUALITY One Size Package All our skiil, facilities, and lifelong knowledge of the finest tobaccos are concentrated on this one cigarette— CAMEL. Into this ONE BRAND, we put the utmost quality. Nothing is too gcod for Camels. They are as good as it’s possible to make a cigarette. Camel QUALITY is always maintained at the same high, exclusive standard. You can always depend on the same mellow-mild refreshing smoothness—the taste and rich flavor of choicest tobaccos—and entire freedom from cigaretty aftertaste. And remember this! Camels come in one size package only—20 cigarettes—just the right size to make the greatest saving in production and packing. This saving goes straight into Camel Quality. That’s one reason why you can get Camel Quality at so moderate a price. Here’s another. We put no useless frills on the Camel package. No “extra wrappers!” Nothing just for show! Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And their added cost must go onto the price or come out of the quality. One thing, and only one, is responsible for Camels gteat and growing popularity —that is CAMEL QUALITY. amel �opyrighf. 1921- jjythg Bell Sqndicatejnc. BUSINESS DIRECTORY Evangelical Church.

Florence was not im­ mediately critical ot some distortions of meaning In the body of her poem, due partly to Atwater & Rooter’s nat­ ural lack of experience In a new and exacting trade; partly to tlielr enviable unconsciousness of any necessity for proofreading; and somewhat to their haste In getting through the. final, and least interesting stage of their under­ taking, Florence's poem being, In fact, so far as the printers were concerned, mere hack work and ontl-cllmax.

But as he and his wife became si­ lent fot n time, musing In the fiyellcht, their daughter’s special convlr. tfons were far from coinciding with theirs, although she. likewise, was si­ lent—a strangeness In her which they should have observed.

They did not even notice her expres­ sion when Mr. Atwater snapped on the light, in order to read, and she went quietly out of the library and up to her own room. On the floor, near her bed, where Patty Fairchild had left her coat and hat, Florence made her second dis­ covery. Two small, folded slips of paper lay there, dropped by Miss Fair­ child when she put on her coat Id the darkening room. They were the re­ plies to Patty's whispered questions, in the game on the steps—the pledged Truth, written by Henry Rooter and Herbert Atwater on their sacred words and honors. The Infatuated pair had either overestimated Patty’s caution, or else each had thought she would so prize his little missive that she would treasure It In a tender safety, perhaps pinned upon her blouse (at the first opportunity) over the heart. It 13 positively safe to say that neither of the two veracities would ever have been set upon paper had Herbert and Henry any foreshadowing that Patty might be careless; and the partners would have been seized with the ut­ most horror could they have conceived the possibility of their trustful mes­ sages ever falling into the hands of the relentless creature who now, with­ out an Instant’s honorable hesitation, unfolded and read them. “Yes, If I got to tell the truth, I know I have got pretty eyes," Herbert had unfortunately written. T am glad you think so, too. Patty, because your eyes are too. Herbert Illlngswortb Atwater, Jr.” And Mr. Henry Rooter had likewlae ruined hlmstlf in a coincidental man­ ner. “Well. Patty, my eyes are pretty, but suppose I would like to trade with fours because you have beautiful eyes, Henry also, sure as my' name Is “ Rooter." Florence stood close to the pink­ khaded electric droplight over her small white dressing table, reading again and again these pnthetlcally honest little confidences. Her eyelids were withdrawn to an unprecedented retirement, so remarkably she stared, while her mouth seemed to prepare Itself fnr the alternated reception of a bulk beyond Its total capacity. And these plastic tokens, bo Immoderate as to be ordinarily the consequence of nothing short of poignant horror, were cfcerlald by others, subtler and more gleaming, which wrought the true significance of the contortion—a joy that was dumfounding. Her thoughts were first of Fortune’s kindness in selecting her for • favor so miraculously dovetailing into tbe precise need of her life, then of Henry and Herbert, each at thia hour prob­ ably brushing his hair in preparation for the Sunday evening meal, and both touchingly unconscious of the calami- But What Eventually .Engrossed Her Mind Was the Thought of WalJIe Torbin. from ms reuows—aoout equal to mat he might have received If he were gifted with some pleasant deformity, such as six toes on a foot—but he would never have enjoyed such deadly prestige as had actually come to he his.

Indiscretions and social misfortunes on the part of ac­ quaintances and schoolmates; and to every exposure his noise and energy gave a hideous publicity; the more his victim sotfght privacy the more persistently he was sought out by Wallie. vociferous and attended by hilarious sf»ectatora. But above all other things, what most stimulated the demoniac boy to prodigies of sat­ ire was any tender episode or symp­ tom connected with the dawn of love. Florence herself hud suffered excru­ ciatingly nt intervals throughout her eleventh spring, because Wallle_ dis­ covered that Georgie Beck sent her a valentine; and the humorist's many, many squealings of that valentine’s affectionate quatrain finally left her unabie to decide which she hated the more. Wallie or Georgie. That was the worst of Wallie: he never “let up"; and in Florence’s circle there was no more sobering threat than, “I’ll tell Wallie TorbinAs for Henry Rooter and Herbert Rllngsworth Atwater, Jr., they would as soon have had n head-bupter on their trail as Wallie Torbin with anything in bis hands that could Incriminate them In an implication of love—or an ac­ knowledgement of their own beauty. The fabric of civilized life Is Inter­ woven with blackmail; even some of ‘.he noblest people do favors for other people who are depended upon not to tell somebody something that the no­ blest people have done. Blackmail is bom into us all, and our nurses teach us more blackmail by threatening to tell cur parents, if we won’t do this and that—and our parents threaten to ten th§ doctor—and so we learn 1 Blackmail la part of the dally life of • child; displeased, his first resort to get his way with other children Is a threat to “tell"; but by-and-by his experience discovers the qmtual bene­ fit of honor among blackmailers.

No­ toriously, the code is more liable to infraction by people of the physically weaker sex. for the very reason, of course, that their inferiority of mus­ cle so frequently compels such a sin, if they are to have their way.

Young-people's social at the home of Wm. Huwe this Friday evening, to which all are invited.

The sermon last Sunday evening was on, "Heavenly Treasure". 1.— Earthly treasure may be a curse. Such treasure was a curse to the man or the parable. He was a rich man and his barns were not large enough. He resolved to build great­ er nnd to fill them all up full. Then he would plan to take it easy. But on that day God had a message for him and here it is, "Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee.” Automobiles and everything a man has may be a curse to him. 2.—Earthly treasure may be a bless­ ing The Christian can so exercise himself that he can be a wise steward over his earthly possessions. "It is required of stewards that a man be found faithful.” Use your automo­ biles to go to church, not to go from church. Use everything God gives you as In His sight. 3.—A treasure that is kept unto life eternal. Jesus said, "Lay up for yourselves treas­ ures In heaven, where’ neither moth nt.' rust doth corrupt, an.d where thieves do not break . through nor steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” How can you lay up treasure in heaven? First, as a sinner, accept of Christ as your only Saviour. And then, in loving gratitude to Him, get busy for Him. Serve Him, not that you may through service get saved, oh no! but serve Him because He saves you. Earthly treasure is fleeting and causes no end of worry, but heaven­ ly treasure is kept unto life eternal. A. K. Scott, Minister.

Bigbteen thousand wool poolers are in­ terested tn the disbursements of funds which marks the * successful disposal of 8,500.000 pounds of wool in the first Michigan pool. It will be several wooks before the last checks hava been drawn. Michigan isiume ot the first wool pooling states to complete settlement of the 1920 pool. Iowa, Illinois and other western states having 1920 pools have not yet made final settle­ ment, It is reported. Despite the /act that wartime storage, labor and handling costs ruled when the 1920 pool was start­ ed and prevailed for some time there­ after, handling costs Involved in the sale of the 1920 pool are below general expectations, said the farm bureau. Wool growers who deliver­ ed their wool to central warehouses In Lansing and Grand Rapids had a handling cost of 3.24 cents per lb., covering managing, financing, rent, storage, labor, sales service, cleri­ cal work, etc., over an average per­ iod of 14 months. Those who ship­ ped by freight to central warehouses and had freight assembling charges and cartage to add ft) their handling costs paid 4.65 cents per pound. . With four-fifths of the 1920 wool pool pooled-after the great market slump which began in June, 1920, and in the face of a market which, it la claimed, was lifeless until Feb­ ruary. 1921, the State farm bureau wool department sold Delaine wool for farmers at an average price of 30 cents per pound. The principal low­ er grades sold for a cent or two low­ er per grade. From February 15 through August the Farm Bureau wool department sold an average of two carloads of wool a.day and clean­ ed up the poor on a quality basis at the best current prices, according to the final statement which accompa­ nied the checks going to wool pool­ ers. Nearly 3,000,000 pounds were pooled in 1921, much of*which has been sold, said the report. Appoints C. L. Brody to Board of Agriculture. Clark L. Brody, secretary of the Michigan Stale Farm Bureau, was appointed to the State Board of Agri­ culture October 7, by Governor Groes­ beck. to fill out the unekplred term of J. W. Beaumont of Detroit, who resigned recently. Mr. Brody takes office Immediately and will serve the remainder of Mr. Beaumont’s term, which expires in January 1924, It is understood. The state board of ag­ riculture Is the governing board tor Michigan Agricultural College. Mr. Brody is an alumnus of the Michigan Agricultural College and since graduation a number of years ago has been closely associated with the college as an extension special­ ist. At one time Mr. Brody was one of the leading county agricultural agents in the state and is reputed to be in very close touch With the af­ fairs and needs of the college.

We have, in mind just now a charming lady of oar acquaintance who attended the reception for the teachers last week. । She fussed around so much trying to get her husband in shape and make him look presentable that she had to dress in something of a burry, herself. But they finally got started, and they went to the reception and had just the best kind of a time, but can you imagine the frame of mind of the lady when she went home af­ ter one of her lady friends publicly called the attention of all the party to the fact that the lady had her waist, a very pretty one, on wrong side out?

"Advertising always pays." said Lflllan Braithwaite Hill, the adver­ tising expert, in a facetious after­ dinner speech in Denver. "Take the case of Smith. Smith conducted a mammoth national advertising cam­ paign throughout the country, and was thereby located by his faithful old wife, whom he had deserted in Kokomo 18 years before. "Again." Miss Hill pursued, "take the case of Brown. Brown inserted one little 12-word want ad for a boy, and found when he got home in the evening that Mrs. Brown had presented him with two fine boys, twins." No Return on Investment. “Gentlemen." said the speaker, ‘T can’t sit still without saying a word, and so I rise. I will speak what lies close to my heart. Everybody debates the future of the country.

No Tips in China. The Chinese are not accustomed to tipping the barber. As a matter of fact the Chinese barber la very modest Id his prices, and his patrons can ob­ tain a haircut, a heed shave, a face share, and in addition have the shoul­ ders and back massaged, all for -less than five cents. The raxor used by Chinese barbers is a triangular­ shaped blade with straight handle, folding up as does the American straight razor. The blades are made from old rails or any other crude steel which has outlived its usefulness for other purposes. Had There Been No War.

NOTICE TO CONSUMERS I . • ■ • < Owing to the fact that we find our present rates inadequate, even with the somewhat lower operating expense that has prevailed, we are compelled to announce the following lighting rates which will be in effect in Nashville for a • period of six months. COMMERCIAL Readiness-to-serve charge per meter per month $1.50, plus 64c per K. W. H. for all current consumed each month RESIDENCES AND PROFESSIONAL OFFICES Readiness-to-serve charge per meter per month 75c, plus 6Jc per K. W. H. for all current consumed DISCOUNT Discount of one-half cent per K. W. H. used is allowed if bill is paid on or be­ fore 15th of month following that in which current is used A Big Strike Browing. A big country-wide strike of rail­ road men is impending. ■ One of the leaders says "Only a miracle can stop IL" A country-wide railroad strike at this time would mean nothing short of country-wide disaster. The people who would be hardest hit by this strike are the laboring classes, among whom are the railroad men themselves. That is something for the railroad unions and their leaders to ponder over. But We wonder If the railroad execu­ tives In their pomp and glory ever think that they themselves are per­ haps as much to blame as the un­ ions for the present condition of things. Have the presidents, vice presidents and others along down the line sliced their own salaries in pro­ portion as they want to slice the men: We doubt it. Another Tiling. They claim they must have the present exhorbltant freight and pas­ senger rates In order to pay running expenses. We wonder If they have considered what the result would be if they would get back down toward earth themselves in reductions of rates and fares. We Believe That if the railroads would reduce freight rates/ so that living expenses could be reduced by that much, and would reduce passenger fares so that they might pull full coaches instead of empty ones, and would show that their hearts are in the right place by reducing salaries of the men high­ er up. the trainmen and othen work­ ers of the roads would feel much more charitably inclined toward, a reduction of their own wages than they now are. • All of which is plain common Sense and so perhaps has no place in this column. And then again, perhaps the big 'uns will think it nonsense, which would place it here by priority rights.

Practically all the wool has gone to eastern and m'ddle west clothing and woolen mills. Wool continues to come into the pool, it is reported. The farmers are selling their pool­ ed wool at the best current prices and are finding a ready market for it in contrast to 1920 when the wool mirket was dead for seven months. Sell­ ing in large blocks on a graded bas­ is. clothing wools graded and sold as clothing wools and not as discounts us in other days, the farmers are ef­ fecting selling economies they call satisfactory. Wool poolers have eliminated speculation as far as they are concerned and today are enjoy­ ing the proposition of having their wool in their own hands on an im­ proving market. Heretofore, they say speculators bought up the wool In the spring at their price and took their profit on a raising market. Wool producers in 18 other farm bureau states have wool pools like that in Michigan. Likewise they are selling direct to mills on a quality basis and manufacturing their sur­ plus into fabrics, blankets and over­ coats.

Adults are uhdependable.

Cause and effect have no re­ lation: Fate operates without reason­ able sequence—dike a monkey. And while Florence, thus pensively disturbed, sat beside fat Uncle Joseph dnrlng their long, long drive, relatives of hers were Indeed going Into fits; at least so Florence would 'have de­ scribed their gestures and incoherendes of comment And straight into such a fitful scene did the luckless Herbert walk when driven home, after the movies, by thoughts of food, nt about six that evening. Henry Rooter had strongly advised him against return­ ing. It may reasonably be felt that, it required no particular gift of prophecy to hazard the prediction that in all probability a most unpleasant form of inquisition awaited Herbert on his re­ turn to his home. And Henry Rootei had the wisdom (and experience) oi thirteen. “You better not.” he said, wisely. "Honest, you better not, Herbert!’ “Well, we got apple dumplings for dinner," Herbert said, his tone show­ ing the strain of mental uncertainty. “Eliza told me this morning we were goin' to have ’em. I kind of hate to go, but I guess I better, Henry.” "You won’t see any apple dump­ lings," Henry predicted. “Well, I believe I better try it. Henry." 1 "You better come home with me. My father and mother’ll be perfectly willing to have you." “I know that," said Herbert. "But I guess I better go home and try 1L anyhow, Henry.

I haven’t got any more right to be picked on for that than a child." “Yes," Henry admitted. “But if you go and tell 'em so, I bet she’d get even with you some way that would prob­ ably get me in trouble, too, before we got through with the job.

I had quite a talk with 'em -and they hinted they hadn’t had much to do with this num­ ber of the paper, except the mechani­ cal end of It; but they wouldn't 'come out right full with what they meant. They seemed to have some good rea­ son for protecting a third -party, and said quite a good deal about their fa­ thers and mothers being but mortal and so on; so Henry and Herbert thought they oughtn't to expose this third party—whoever she was. Well, do things that “Oh, If Boys Could Only Be Girls!" Herbert Just Looked at Her. thing of the past, though Iim another sense this former owner and proprie­ tor was certain that he would never hear the last of It.- However, on ac­ count of the life of blackmail nnd slavery now led by the members of the old regime?, the Oriole’s extinction was far less painful to Herbert that bls father supposed; and the Iqttei wasted a great deal of severity, in sitting that the printing press should be returned that very night to Uncle Joseph. Herbert's heartiest retrospec­ tive wish- was that the ole printing press had been returned to Uncle Jo­ seph long ago. "If you can find him to give it to!” Aunt Harriet suggested. “Nobody knows where he -goes when he get* the-way he did this afternoon when we were discussing it all with him, I only hope he'll be back tonight 1" “He can’t stay away forever,” Aum Fanny remarked. “That garage l» charging him five dollars an hour for the automobile he's in, and surely even Joseph will decide there's a limit to wildness some time!” “I don't care when he comes back," Herbert's father declared grimly. "Whenever he does he's got to take that printing press back—and Herbert I will be let out of the house long ■ enough to carry it over. His mother or I will go with him.” Herbert bore much more than this; | ■he had seated himself on the third step of the Stairway In the hall, and maintained as much dogged silence as he could. Once, however, thqy got a yelp of anguish out of him. It was when Cousin Virginia said: “Oh, Herbert, Herbert I How could you make up that terrible falsehood about Mr. Crum? And, think of it; right on the same page with your cousin Florence's pure little poem I” Herbert uttered some sounds, totally Incoherent but loud, and expressive of a supreme revulsion. The shocked audience readily understood that be liked neither Cousin Virginia’s chiding nor Cousin Florence’s poem. “Shame 1" said his father. It - Herbert controlled himself, could be seen tliat his spirit was not broken, even when Aunt Fanny mourned, shaking her head at him, smiling ruefally: “Oh, If boys could only be girls I" Herbert just looked at her. “The worst thing,” said his father —“that is, if there's any part of W that’s worse than another—the worst thing about it lx this about Notfie DU1." “What about that poor thing?" Aunt Harriet asked. “We haven't heard.1* “Why, I walked up from downtown with old man Dill," said Mr. Atwater, “and the Dill family are all very much worried.

Aunt Fanny whis­ pered, hurriedly, but solemnly. “Crazy." "And then," Mr. Atwater continued, “he left the house, and she supposed he'd gone down to the office; but she was uneasy, and telephoned his fa­ ther. Noble hadn’t come.

However, those “ghosts” are very much alive, chances are, and are doing a lot of interesting things you’d like to know about True, you may be getting letters regularly from mother or father or sister or brother —but they seldom, if ever, mention good old Tom, Dick or Harry.

A vegetable error in the Banner last week made it appear that the equalization committee of the board of supervisor* were unable to agree a* to the value* to be placed upon the different supervisors districts, and so had appealed to the state tax commission. Thia was not the tact as we have since learned. It appears that the equalization committee did not agree on a report which was made at the June session. One of the supervisor*, not a member of the equalization committee, and who did not vote In favor of the committee’s report, feel­ ing that his township was not fair­ ly equalized, in comparison with neighboring township* and thi* city, altho making no charge of intent to be unfair on the part of the commit­ tee, asked the. tax commission to make the equalization.—Banner. As we understand It, not only was lhe equalization committee unani­ mous in their approval of the report of the committee, but all the eigh­ teen members of the board were sat­ isfied except Supervisor Parker of Prairieville, who protested and ap­ pealed the equalization to the state tax commission. The board has taken an adjournment to await the report of the commission. ANNUAL MISSIONARY RALLY.

But Aunt Fanny uttered a little cry of protest. “Pm afraid we may hear,” she said, "any moment!" And the most tragic news of Noble DHI tiiese sympathetic women could have heard would have surprised them little; they had unanimously set their expectation in so romantically pessi­ mistic a groove. But If the'truth of his whereabouts could have been made known to them, as they sat thus together at what was developing vir­ tually into hls wake, with Herbert as a compulsory participant, they would have turned the session into a riot of amazement. Noble was In the very last place (they would have said, when calmer) where anybody Id the world could have madly dreamed of looking for him I They would have been right about it. ,No one could have expected to find Noble tonight Inside the old. four-squure bric£ house of Mr. H. L Atwater, Senior, chief of the Atwaters and father of the dis­ turbing Julia. This was an old man of rigidly limited sympathies; and hls opinion of Noble Dill had become al­ most notorious; here was no ln>som of refuge for a lorn Noble needing sol­ ace, nor was his house for any moment hospitable with Julia out of It. More­ over, Mr. H. L Atwater, Senior, was not at present in the house; he had closed and locked It yesterdaj. giving the servants a week’s vacation and telling them not to return till he sent for them; and had then gone out of town to look over a hominy mill he thought of buying. And yet, as the wake went on. there was a light In the house, and under thut light sat Noble Dill. Returning home, after Florence had placed the shattering news within hls hand. Noble had changed hls shoes and hls tfe. He was but a mechan­ ism ; he had no motive. The shoes he put on were no better than those he took off; the fresh tie was no lovelier than the one he had worn; nor had It even the lucidity to be a purple one. as evidence of grief. No; hls action was. If so viewed, "crazy." as Aunt Fanny had called It. Agitation first took this form; that was all;. Love and change of dress are closely allied; and In happier times when Noble came home from work and would see Jul In In the evening ,he usually changed hls clothes. No doubt there is some faint tracery here, too Indistinct to repay contemplation. When he left the house he walked rapidly down-town, and toward the end of tills one-mlle journey he ran; but as be was then approaching the railway statinn, no one thought him eccentric. He wnt however; for when he entered the station he went to a bench and sat looking upward for more than ten minutes; then rose and went to a ticket-window nnd asked for a time-table. “What roadF the clerk Inquired. “All points south." said Noble. He placed the time-table, still fold­ ed. in hls pocket, rested an elbow on the-brass apron of the window, and would hare given himself up to re­ flections. though urged to move away. Several people wishing to buy tickets had formed a line behind him and they perceived that Noble h»d nothing more to say to the clerk. The latter encouraged their protests, and even went so far as to exclaim. "For heaven's sake! Can’t you let these folks buy their tickets?" Anil since Noble still did not mo'b: “My gosh, haven’t you got no feetF “Feet? Oh. yes." said Noble gently. Tm going away." And went back to hls seat. After a while he sought to study hls time-table. Ordinarily, hls mlfid was on? of thoa? able to decipher and comprehend railway time-tables; be bad few gifts, but this was one of them. It failed him. now; and he wandered back to the ticket-window, and, after urgent coaching, eventually took hls place at the end instead of at the head of the line that waited there. In hls turn he came again to the win­ dow. and departed from it after a conversation with the clerk which left the latter in unconscious accord with Aunt Fanny Atwater’s commiserating adjective, though the clerk's own pity was expressed In argot. The poor nutF he explained to hls next client “Wants to buy a ticket on a train that don't pall out tllflen thirty-five tonight: and me fillin' tt all out stampin' It and everything, what for! Turned out all hls pockets and couldn’t come nearerin eight dollars Aort o’ ti»e price! Where you want to goF Noble went back to hls bench and nt there for a long time, though there was no time long or short for him. He was not yet eonsriously suffering greatly; nor was he thinking at all. True, he had a dim. persistent Imimls? to action—or els? why should he be at the station?—but for the clearest his condition it is necea- sary to borrow n cuumirr *•»*»...•». uwas jelling. The stnte of shock was •lowly dispersing while, n perception of anguish as slowly Increased. He was beginning to swallow nothing at Intervals, and the Intervals were grav­ ing shorter. Dusk was misting down, outdoors, when with dragging steps he came out of the station. He looked hazily up and down the street, where the corner­ lamps and shop-windows now were lighted, end. after dreary hesitation, he went In search of a pawn-shop, and found one. The old mnn who operated It must have been a philanthropist, fot Noble wawjio fortunate as to secure a Inan of nine dollars ttnnn h’s watch Surprised at this, he returned to fht station, and went ba< k to the same ok bench. A HI tie after six o’clock a clanging •nd commotion in the train-shed out­ side. attending the arrival of a “through express." stirred him from hl« torpor. He walked heavily across the room’ to the same ticket-window he had blocked before, but there was no queue attached to It now. He res'ed hls elbow on the apron and hls chin upon hls hand, and for some, mo­ ments the clerk waited until lie should state hls wishes. This was a new clerk, who had just relieved the other. “Well! Well!" he snld at Inst. “I’ll take it now," Nohle responded, gently. . “What'll you take nowF "That ticket!" “What ticket?" “The same one I wanted before," Noble sighed. The clerk gave him a piercing look, glanced out of the window and snw that there were no other clients, then went to a desk at the farther end of hls compartment, and took up some clerical work he had In hand. Noble leaned upon the apron of the window, waiting; and if be thought anything, be thought the man was serving him. The high, resonant room became clamorous with voices and with the mingling echoes of footsteps bn the tiled floor, as passengers from the ex­ press hurried to the street, or more gaily straggled through, shouting to friends who came to greet them; and among these moving groups there walked a youthful fine lady noticeably enlivening to the dullest eye. She was preceded by a brisk porter who car­ ried two traveling bags of a rich sort, as well as a sack of implements for the game of golf; and she was warm in dark furs, against which the vasty dump of violets she wore showed dewy gleamlngs of blue. At sight of Noble Dill, more than pensive at the ticket-window, she hesi­ tated, then stopped and observed him. Here was a coincidence, in a mild way, for, as it happened, she was her­ self tlie most observed j>ers<in In all that place. She was veiled In two veils, but she had been seen In the train without these, and some of her fellow-travelers, though strangers to tier, were walking near her tn a hypo­ critical way. hoping still not to lose sight of her, e^ten veiled. And although the shroudings permitted the most meager information of her f“O*^“es, what they did reveal was harmfully piquant; moreover, there was a sweet­ ness to the figure, a disturbing grace; and nothing disguises such an air of wearing that many violets as a daily perquisite and matter of course. It was Julia's fortune (though her father had other ideas concerning the matter) to be the possessor of a per­ sonality distinctly pleasing to the masculine eye, and of this the fair Julia was prcbably aware. In any event she waa quite conscious of the stir which her passage through the throng created. So the coincidence came about that this observed lady stopped and ob­ arrrvd slutklcg hie heed.

Couple of tame crows belonging at the hotel at Thornapple lake come hanging around down at our shack and make more or less fun for us. The other day we noticed one of them had a small streaked snake, and he sure was having a great time trying to dispose of that snake. Grab him in his bill and put one foot on him and try to pull him in two, but the snake was too tough. They wrestled around tor quite a spell and during a brief armistice the snake disappear­ ed, and that poor crow was certainly a bewildered bird. He didn't seem to be able to realize that it was posg'ble for the snake to have gone, and he did a regular Indian war dance, accompanied by all kinds of crow cus words, in his search for his vic­ tim, but to no avail, and finally gave up the search in very evident diogust.

The art of life is to keep step with the celestial orchestra that beats the measure of our career, and gives the cue for our exits and our entrances.

In this world there should be none but gvntle tears, and fluttering tip-toe loves.

THE RIGHT THING By MILDRED MARSHALL THE RIGHT TIME Ftct» about your name; h» httccrr; meto lac; whence it •»» derived, significance; Tout lucky day and lucky IcwcL By MARY MARSHALL DUFFER HE well-bred man remembers when walking with a woman and the sidewalk is narrow that if other [tedestrians approach them, he should step behind his companion while they are passing. But if escorting n woman In woods or through an overhung country he goes ahead of his companion in order to clear the path for her. When walking with a woman a rnan Invariably asks whether he may re­ lieve her of any parcels she may be carrying, hut If she declines his offer he should not be insistent. A man may have to possess a good deal of discrimination these days to differ­ entiate between some of tlie enlarged handlings that women carry nnd a small bit of luggage. However, be should always nsk to carry the latter while he would, of course, not ask to carry her handling. A man never takes a woman's arm when walking In the street save when she Is too old or feeble to walk un­ aided or when the way Is so slippery ns to be hazardous. It is regarded as decidedly provincial or “second rate” to do this. When wnlklpjr with a woman n mnn never stops to "speak to an acquaint­ ance whom lie chances to meet unless the woman takes the lend In so doing. If a mnn hnpiiens to meet a woman acquaintance, even though he Is well acquainted with her, he would not think of stopping to talk with her In the street, hut If there was something which they wished to discuss he might ask whether he might wnlk with her for a little way. He would show rhe same consideration to his mother or sister in this regard. If a mnn overtakes n woman going tn the same direction that he is he would never think of accompanying her without asking permission and unless he knew her well enough to be quite sure that she- would not have the slightest objection he would not ask for this. A man does not Invariably take the curb aide of tbe sidewalk when arcompanyltyt a woman. He does If the road la muddy and therefore that aide la less desirable. In city streets he usuaUy takes the side that makes It poaslhle for him to meet pedestrian traffic coming tn.the other way. That ta, he would walk at her left where traffic keeps to the right as It does In American cities. • T MTT A HIBHEB QUALITY FSli LESS MONEY. IT PAYS.

The sig­ nificance of the nuuie Is of the most heroic character and It was a favorite with the ruling houses of the various Gennun principalities as far hack as the Tenth and Eleventh centuries. Tlie name In its earliest beginnings was very much the same In form and even spelling as II Is today. Adelu is prob­ ably the widest variation in tlie course of centuries. The name was widely adopted In France, as well as In England and Italy under different forms from AdaJal da to Adeline. The Jewel associated with, persons bearing the name Adele is tbe tur­ quoise.

We urge every reader of The News to read the opening chapters; if you do that, you will eagerly watch for the paper each week to find out how the young man Is getting along in his strange search for "The Girl."

Hunting rabbits with, ferrets is a sure way of murdering the bunnies. It doesn’t give the poor rabbit a ghost of a show for his life, and if a fellow is out of meat and just about starving, a good ferret will certain­ ly get him a supply of meat. But the law says the bunny should have a sporting chance for his life and that when he has outwitted the hunter and his dog and has safely ensconscd himself in his underground cavern Jt should be a refuge to him. But Frank Slocum. Henry Zerbel nnd Henry Gaskill wanted rabbits and they wanted plenty of them, so they took a Jerret along with them. The judge said the "sport’’ should cost them 114.20 each, which made the rabbit meat they got a little bit expensive. Charles Soper, who forgot that the npen season on squirrels was a thing of the past, paid 120.50 for his ab­ sent-mindedness. jX BASKET BALL. The H.

Gutchess, one of the respected old residents of the com­ munity, passed away Tuesday after­ noon at the home of her daughter. Mrs. Rilla Deller, at the ripe old age of 84 years. She was a remarkably well-preserved woman, retaining clarity of her mental faculties until the end. Was able to read without glasses and until very recently was in excellent health and well able to care for herself. She was born at Harlem, Ohio. June 26, 1837, and had lived in Cas­ tleton township for many years. Her husband, John Gntchess, passed away several years ago. The funeral will be held at the home this morning at 9:30. with in­ terment at Lakeview. An obituary notice will appear In the News next week. GET 'EM OUT EARLIER.

The Michigan State Farm Bureau’s idea of what should be taken up by the delegates to the American Farm Bureau Federation convention at At­ lanta, Nov. 21-23, when they stare to frame the 1922 program was em­ bodied in a series of resolutions adopted by the State executive com­ mittee November 8. and dispatched to the Resolutions Committee of the Na­ tional organization. Resolutions urged the A. F. B. F. work for: 1. Passage of the Truth-in-Fab­ rics bill. 2. Passage of a Truth-ln-Fruit Juices bill. 3. Protection of American dairy­ men from tbe unrestricted under­ mining Influence of tbe Ailed con­ densed milk industry. A high tariff on cocoanut and vegetable oils was urged. ’ 4. Also, to investigate the pro­ posed transferal of the Bureau of. markets and other departments from the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. 5. To commend Attorney General Daugherty in declaring for the free and unhampered distribution ot food products, especially canned goods, as of great jeconomic importance to botn the producer and consumer. 6. To secure lower transporta­ tion rates. 7. To back President Harding’s disarmament program for peace and as the road to lower taxes. 8. To retain high brackets on the income tax for the very wealthy so that they may assume their Just bur­ den of taxation, and to lend support in putting back Into the federal tax­ ation bill the excess profits tax. To support national enforcement of the National Prohibition act. WAR IS IN THE BALANCE.

GLASGOW LOVE LIVES FOREVER AND A DAY By Jim Marshall, in Spokaae Press.

The letters were still legible.—News item. " -Love letters graven on white ivory. She read them as the marble foun­ tain splashed And old Vesuvius waved a smoky plume To dim the sunbeams as they danc­ ed and flashed; She slipped the ivory tablet near her heart And musing, gazed afar across the gray Old hills—and whispered as ishe mused: • Love lives for ever and a day.

There was quite a bit of snow on the roof of his house and John feared it might accumulate a notion to slide and tear off his eavetroughs, as It did to the print shop roof Tuesday. So John got a ladder and a rake. Went up the ladder, worked the rake, and got some of It off the roof aud down his neck. Then he got a shorter ladder, carried It up and laid it on the roof, went up the short ladder and shoved the snow down, in that keeping It out of his collar.

ASSYRIA FARMERS’ CLUB. The A. F. S. club enjoyed a very pleasant meeting in October with Mr. and Mrs. Myron Tuckerman. After the dinner, which was up to the us­ ual standard, the nieeting was open­ ed with a song by the club and de­ votlonals by Rev. McClure. County Agent Bennett was present and gave a very interesting talk on the "Pro­ gress of the Farmer”. The one great thought and theme of his en­ tire topic- was "Cooperation". He made a direct appeal to the club to put farming on a real business bas­ is. A cornet solo by Lloyd Tasker, music by Edna and Berl Reese and Helen Sisson and Neva Shepard was very much enjoyed, each responding with second numbers. Leon Thomas and Helen Sisson favored us with recitations in their usual pleasing manner and little Kathleen Tucker­ man sang very sweetly, "Swinging 'Neath the Old Apple Tree". A pa­ per by Mrs. Eldred was splendid. At this time new song books were pur­ chased and much was said in regard to the late hour of getting together, and the members were urged to more promptness in the future. ' Mr. .and Mrs. Quinn will entertain Novem­ ber's. Program: Opening—Song by the club. Devotlonals—by the Chaplain. Music—Bernice Harpster and Mra. Mabel Hartom. Recitation—Marion Quinn.

MARSHALL, Clerk ROPERLY, the term "each other" is to be u*ed of only one pair of persons or thli gs which stand In rela­ tion. nnd the term "one another" only of more than two such persons or thing*. Thus, we inay say: "The two friend* presented gifts to each other." but not “to one another;" "all of tbe nations of the earth should dwell In amity with one another." not “with each other." There are. however, au­ thorities on grammar who hold that the two phrases may be used Inter­ changeably ; for example. Lindley Mur­ ray says, “Two negatives Id English destroy - one another." A similar distinction Is made by grammarians between “either" and “any." and between “neither” and ••none." “Either” and "neither” apply to two; “any" and “none” to more than two. Thus, do not say, "1 have not seen either of the three men;" “neither of the twelve jurors was con­ vinced of the man’s guilt” P (Copyright.) -------- O-------- How fcSfarted MAGAZINES.

METROPOLITAN newspaper re­ A, centiy featured the photographs seen I a trip around the world. . d They were as follows: The Great Wall of China, a group of figures out­ side a Buddhist temple to frighten away evil spirits, the houseboats on the ©anal at Canton, China, the an­ cient instruments'in the astronomical observatory at Peking, the bank of the Nile near Cairo, where, according to local tradition, the daughter of Pharaoh found the Infant Moses in the bulbrushes. The interests of this traveler were apparently confined largely to the Orient or else he traversed the most of his journey with his eyes shut, a fault common to a good many trav­ elers. ■ What are the five most Interesting examples of the handiwork of man to be seen in a trip around the world? What are the five things most worth seeing and remembering? What would Interest one would not. perhaps, Interest another, and tbe. list which Is given below may not appeal to. you even though it be an opinion compiled from the experiences ot a dozen or more world travelers who discussed the interesting question. Here are the things which were in general agreed upon as the five things most worth seeing: The Taj Mahal at Agra In East In­ dia. This Is undoubtedly the most wonderful example of architecture in the world. It was built by Shah Jehan to bis favorite sultana, Moomtaz-1Mahul, and the romance of its build­ ing, If you will take trouble to look it up In the library, -you will And ex­ traordinarily interesting. The Vatican at Rome. No building In the world houses so many unreplaceable treasures as the Vatican. Its art riches, its wealth of literary treas­ ures exceed in interest and in value Any other single collection ever made. The Mount Wilson observatory, near Los Angeles. Cal. It is In this ob­ servatory tlint Is housed the 100-lnch pierces Hooker telescope with’ further into the unknown of space than any other Instrument that buman hands have devisefl. One momeat’s look through that magnificent instrument would show you a new universe which before It was built had never been seen. It Is pne of the scientific wonder spots of the world. Shakespeare's home at Stratford. It was here that the master of all writers retired after he had finished the great­ est contribution to literature ever written in any language or by any man. It is an inspiration to stand where he had once stood, to see some of the material things that were once his companions. The Panama canal. Undoubtedly the greatest example of man's engi­ neering genius since the world began. There may have been greater difficul­ ties to surmount In the building of the pyramids but they are useless things, not so wonderful now as a modern city skyscraper. All five of these things are the ac­ complishments of the brqln of man. Added to them the traveler around the world would wish to see those other and greater things that man bos never equaled: The falls at Niagara, the Grand canyoq, the mighty trees of California, the great tides of Fundy. the caverns at Luray, the mountain­ ous monuments of God tn the Alps and the HlmUayan, the supreme beauty of Lake Louise or the Bay of Naples. To the traveler there is given the great privilege of seeing with his own eyes but even If you cannot travel, the beauties and the wonders of the world are not denied you. You can see them through the eyes of others who have seen them and have written down In graphic and truthful language the wonders that they found. If you are Interested In any of the five things of man enumerated above you can find them all Interestingly written about in any good library, and of the greater things In nature hun­ dreds of books have been written on each of them. <Copyrt(bt.) — o— Record Beet Sugar Output.

Some of us have been [dilatory in putting such good advice jinto practice. However last Sunday morning an expository sermon was given on the 84th Psalm. David was in exile and he could not get to the Lord's house, but he was literally overwhelmed with the desire to be in the services. He might have spoken of his throne, his crown, or his acepture, but not so; there was something more precious to him, viz: attendance at the means of gnmi ' Mia soul was hungry for message. _______ He said,_’‘My soul longeth yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord.” How many church mem­ bers have that experience? If any­ thing happens that you cannot get to the services in your church how many of you can testify in the above language? David furthermore said, "My heart and my flesh crleth out for the living God." Not many find the "Besb" helpful In living the Christian life. But in David there was a man whose personal acqualnt'ance with the godly life was such that even it "cried out for God." Be­ fore the Psalm closes David an­ nounces in firm declaration that he would rather occupy the most hum­ ble place in God's house than to en­ joy the best this world can afford. It's such consecration of Christian life that the church needs today.

Then in time they will become prosperous again and will be able to Put it Up to the People who Pay the pay their debts without working an Taxes; the People who Bought unnecessary hardship upon anyone. the Bonds. Let Piem Say. STOP THAT ACHE! The money this government loan­ ed to foreign governments during the rar came from the pockets of the people In the form of taxes. It was the people's money. Now the same old insidious lobby is at work again in Washington In an effort to "educate" the people up to the idea of canceling those ten or eleven billions of dollars in debts the allied governments owe to us. It is time for the press of the coun­ try to serve plain and unmistakable notice on the government and con­ gress that the people of this country will not stand for a wholesale filching of their hard earned funds. If the president and congress are sincere in their professed desire to serve the people they will take no such action without first submitting the question to a referendum vote of all of the people. It is safe to pre­ dict what the result of such a vote would be. We don’t like to weary our read­ ers with too frequent references to this question, but some one Is trying to get his hand into the public pock­ et—and this -paper objects. We have no use for a thief or a man who won't pay his debts. If the nations of the old world are in need of a helping hand this coun­ try should extend It to the extent of its ability without material injury to itself. That can be done in the way ot extending the payment of the debts owed to us over a long period of years, even to foregoing the collec­ tion of interest for a number of years—provided the people on the other side quit squandering what they have in preparing for another war— and go to work. If the governments of the old world will make a study of the gold­ en rule and apply it to their dally life there will be little need of arm­ ies and navies and the vast expendi­ tures they entail. We suggest that they quit serving the devil for a while and give the Lord a chance to look in. Don’t worry and complain about a bad back. Get rid of that pain end lameness! Use Doan's Kidney Pills. Many Nashville people have used thenl and know how effective they are. Here's a Nashville case. Julius F. Bement, optician.

They caused a natural ac­ tion of my kidneys, relieved the sluggishness and made me feel all right again, if I ever need a relia­ ble kidney medicine, I depend on Doan's. 1 urn glad to recommend them for the purposes for which they are intended." Mr. Bement gave the above state­ ment on February 26th, 1913, and on October 9th, 1920, he added: "I have the same good opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills and very gladly confirm the statement I made in 1913 in praise of this reliable remedy." 60c, at all dealers.

ANDADOG FRANCIS LYNDE; /. ‘IGHT BY CHAPTER VI. The Old Cinnabar. "Daddy, here is a man I found down at the head of Antelope gulch; he had lost his way, so I brought him home with ine.” was the simple man­ ner in which she launched me; and I found myself shaking hands with an elderly man who looked as if he might l>e a fanner, or -a miner, or something of that nature—you will know what I mean—flannel shirt, trousers tucked Into boots. Iron-gray whiskers all over his face, an eye as mild aia a collie dog’s. “You done ‘plum’ right, Jeanie,” he remarked; and then to me: “Come right on in. stranger, and be at home. If you don’t see what you want, ask for it.” After which he went to take care of the piebald pony. The log cabin proved to be primitive only on the outside. The interior was a dream of cozy homeliness. A hang ­ ing lamp lighted It, and In Its mild glow I had my first real look at tbe girl. She wasn’t beautiful In any show­ girl meaning of the word; she was something far better—piquant, charm­ ing. A round little face, wind-tanned to a tint as delicious iN the blush in the heart of an apple-blossom, a jolly bit (if a nose, tip-tilted enough to be­ speak a healthy sense of humor, a mouth neither too large nor too small upheld by a Ann. round chin, and the chin upheld by an extra firm little jaw. As she had admitted, her eyes were blue—the blue that shades into violet —and they were well-set; wide apart and perfectly fearless; the kind of eyes fit to mnt<;h the straight-lined brows that usually go with them. I sat before the cheerful blaze, chuckling quietly to myself- over the mad adventures of the day and their highly romantic, not to say miraculous, outcome. Beyond all manner of doubt I had stumbled upon the three talis­ mans of Cousin Percy’s cryptic letter. By the most marvelous of accidents I had discovered the girl, the horse and the dog; and, If the remainder of Percy’s letter were to be taken at its face value, I should now be in touch with my legacy. As to the character of that legacy* there could be no further question. Grandfather Jasper had left me a mine; and I was fully prepared to find It the drowned mine of Bullerton’s story. What I might be able to make of it was a matter which could well be postponed to another day. Just as I reached this postponing conclusion, the girl's father came In. drew up a chair on the opposite side of the hearth, and began to make me wel­ come In a mild-mannered way, saying that they didn’t have much company, and were always “master” glad to see a new face. He did not ask me any troublesome questions; and beyond telling me his name, which was Hiram Twombly, did not volunteer any in­ formation about himself or his daugh­ ter, nor did he explain how they came to be living in so much comparative comfort in such an out-of-the-way place. A little later the girl returned to set the table, and presently we had Offices in City Bank building at Hastings, and In Mallory block at Nashville.

To-morrub, If .you ain't in too Dig a hurry to ’?e leavin’ us. 111 get you to show ire a few things that I don’t know, 'long them lines, maybe.’’ Of course. 1 acquiesced, cheerfully. By and by '.he girl came in and sat down to knit, just as her grandmother might have done, and at that her fath­ er got up, and, lighting a lantern, went ouL I was fairly perishing by this time to know a vast number of tilings, but hardly knew how to begin asking about them. So. as the old man clapped on his hat and left the cabin. I blew out the first foolish remark that came uppermost. “All dressed up, and nowhere to go; isn’t that about the way of it for you two up on this mountain?” "Meunlng Daddy, and now, particu­ larly?” she said, smiling across at me. “He bus gone to make his regular round of the mine buildings and cab­ ins. Not that there is the slightest use of It; only he likes to feel that he !s at least pretending to earn hij pay.” “The mine?” I queried. "Yes; this is the old Cinnabar, you know; and Daddy is the—well, I sup­ pose you might call us the caretakers, though there isn’t much to take care of. The mine has been shut down for a year and mdre.” "Is it a gold mine?” ' "It was.” "Why the past tense?" "Water,” she suid, briefly, drowned mine. That is why It was shut down." Ot course, tills was exactly what 1 was exjiecting to hear, mid yet tills plain unvarnished confirmation of things gave me a damp and soggy feel­ ing of despondency. Percy had wired, you remember, that his letter was no Joke; but it seemed that it really was one. and that the Joke—which was a mighty grim one1—was on me. “Can’t the water be pumped outf I asked. “It seems not. I understand the company spent thousands of dollars trying to pump it out. It’s—it's rather piUful." “You mean the company's loss?" "No; the company didn't lose any­ thing. It was Just one old man." Now we were coming to the real meat of the thing and I looked my hand of cards over carefully to the end that I should not overplay IL “Pm fond of stories.” I ventured; "especially mining stories,” and there­ upon she told me the story of the Cin­ nabar. It was a fair repetition of Bullerton** tale, with a few more of the particulars thrown in. As my blue-eyed little Scheherazade understood 1L my grandfather had been a minority stockholder In the company during Its prosperous period. When the water debacle came, the fact of it was carefully concealed from him and he was generously permitted to come to tbe rescue—which he did by paying a fabulous sum (Schehera­ zade did not know how much) for bis fellow-stockholders* holdings. In other words, they had sold him “ UOld brick; soaked him for a final tinal clean-up on a doomed mine. That was about all there was to IL “Did my—did the old gentleman you speak of ever come out here himself?” She nodded. “Once that we know off; that was after it was all over and the place was deserted. At that time Daddy had taken up a claim just west of here in the next gulch and we were living in thia cabin; squatters, I guess you’d call us. So we camped down." “That was quit* right and proper. And this Mr. Jasper Dudley; he didn’t turn you out when he came, did he?” "Oh, no, Indeed; he was very kind. When he found that Daddy's gulch claim wasn’t going to pan out any­ thing, he said be needed a caretaker here, and since that time he has sent us money every month. But now I suppose it will all be different. Mr. Dudley is dead.” “But the heirs?” I suggested. “We don’t even know who they are. When Mr. Dudley went away he left a sealed envelope with Daddy. He said he might come back again, some time, but if be didn’L or couldn’t. Dad­ time. dy was to keep the envelope and give it to his—Mr. Dudley's—representa­ tive, whoever that might be.” Talk about plots thickening!

Feast of nectar -’d sweets.—Milton. T IS a usual question for a young girl to write asking who should take the first piece of candy from a box brought to her by a young man caller. And when you come to think of it, there are a good many puzzling things involved in the problems t connected with a box of randy. To begin with, if a man brings a girl a box of candy, she usually opens It while he is present She then passes it to any other, women in the room, then to the man, and then she helps she .passes it. herself. If he. when ‘ holds It for her to take a piece, she does so. If’ the candy ’ comes by mall or messenger, she* opens It, of course, and does not wait until he calls, even If she knows who the candy comes from before opening it, and knows likewise that the duuor is to call. Perhaps the most important thing to remember in connection with the good manners connected with candy is that the person who always greedily eats candy and never buys it Is very ill bred. It Is the week-end custom for some men to bring home a box of candy.- In some families there Is one candy-loving member who lies in wait for the weekly sweets and eats as many pieces as site ran get. She takes one every time the box is passed, and ]»erhaps helps herself between times. Now It is quite all right to accept candy. If you like it, when it Is passed. But you should not eat more 4l.au your share, and you should not eat even this much if you are not in the habit occasionally of standing treat yourself. You should, If you have n sweet tooth and eat other people’s sweets, provide a box full of your own occasionally. Candy is one of the gifts that a man may give a woman—randy, flowers and books constitute the conventional trio. Nobody wonders if the donor ot a box of candy to a girl Is thinking of fall­ ing in love with her. Candy nowa­ days is quite tile correct and accepted gift from anybody that can afford IL And no girl need feel hesitant about accepting randy in this way. Of course, if she thinks a man cannot afford It but buys it for her simply because lie thinks he ought to, she might suggest to him that he really should not in­ dulge her sweet t<x>th so often. And Dever, never should a girl hint for sweets. There are some girls who cannot pass a candy store window with­ out casting longing glances at them, and sometimes even commenting on their fondness for candy. No man should feel rude In Ignoring these symptoms. It is not necessary to write a note thanking a man for a gift of candy if he follows the gift shortly with a call. The thanks should not be torfutten, but they may be delivered ver­ bally. (Copyright.) -------- O-------- I A LIKE 0’ CHEER By John Kendrick Bang*. OUT OF THI ASHES. H.

Valuable Pointers on What to Buy • and Where to Buy it. NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1921 Christmas number NUMBER 21 State Savings Bank. This enterprising banking institu­ tion has made recently some very noticeable changes, adding another window and another clerk, so that customers may be accommodated quickly and without tedious waiting in line, have equipped their room* with new desks and ottrer office equipment which greatly facilitates the prompt and careful handling ot your business, and 1b wide.awake to look after your wants In every way consistent with careful and- conser­ vative banking. Their stockholders, officers and directors are home peo­ ple who live among you and are in­ terested in your welfare and that ot your, town, and they are more than willing to aid you in every laudable enterprise looking toward the up­ building of the town and the com­ munity. Large and pleasant offices are freely at your disposal for the transaction of your business and ad­ vice is freely yours for the asking, in regard to financial transactions. Whatever business you may have to do with them, you will find them cor­ dial and courteous and always at your service. Four per cent is paid on savings deposits, compounded quarterly, and remember that this Is the bank that brought you the four per cent. . ■ They invite you to join their Christ­ mas savings club, now being organ­ ized for 1922, which will enable you, by saving small weakly amounts, to have a neat sum laid away for next Christmas, with four per cent added by the bank to whatever amount you save. They will be glad to explain the plan' to you and have you join for next year. The officials of the bank join in ex­ tending cordial Yuletide greetings and wishing you health and prosper­ ity throughout the coming year. The joys of' Christmastlde are not alone for the little folka, as we learn­ ed during the past week in a tour of Nashville stores and shops. The old­ er folks can get much satisfaction and pleasure out of a trip of inspec­ tion of the many stores, to see what is on display and awaiting the pleas­ ure of the holiday shopper. Never have Nashville stores pre­ sented a more enticing appearance or shown larger and more various assortments of beautiful and useful articles for the yuletide than they are showing this year. It is well .worth one’s while to spend a day in visiting the various places, to see the many new things on display. Furth­ ermore, the purse Is sorely tempted by the noticeable reductions in prices from those of last-year and the year before. One does not need to mort­ gage the future in order to make gifts this year. In many instances we were surprised by tfie low prices quoted, and we are firmly of the opinion that Christmas buyers can do better with their money In Nashville this year than In any of the larger towps. Browse around town and look in­ to the stores. You may be surprised at some of the things you find. We’ve seen a lot of ’em. and we know. We suspect our local merenants are attempting to make London and Paris jealous—or perhaps they know the discriminating taste of our peo­ ple and are simply trying to meet ex­ J. C. Hurd. pectations.

My greeting, purposely, was cold But, pulling up a chair. He smiled serenely as he told Me things were "looking fair.’* From glancing often at the door— A hint that I employed— I soon forgot he was a bore. And ceased to be annoyed. He used to come with clouded face. Complaining and sad-eyed, But now a change had taken place— He'd parked his grouch outside. His manner and his speech were bright; • ■ He radiated cheer; I missed, with genuine delight, His customary sneer; Tbe favor that he asked was small. And how could I do less Than show my gamenesa, after all? I had to answer yes.

The injurious species amount to less than 1 per cent of the whole. On the other hand, a great many species are beneficial to mankind. Pollination of crops like clover would be impossible without in­ sect visitations, and the same is true of many garden flowers and Important fruits. Softest Known Wood. Trees belonging to the genus Jacaratia, growing in tropical America, are remarkable for their soft wood. Aftei part of the bark is cut away a machete can be shoved to the center of tbe trunk .with ease. The wood, when fresh, can be cut into blocks with a knife, as one would cut up parsnips or turnips. As the wood dries, it shrinks to a small fraction of its original bulk. And He Meant So Well. 1 was escorting two girl friends home from a dance one night, when we noticed a wide-open window in a house we were passing. Thinking to avert a possible burglary, I stuck my head in­ side and shouted, “Say, good people—” But that was us far as 1 got, for a bucketful of water struck me full in tlie face and a furious female voice shouted, “1 told you what you’d get if y.'U didn't get home before ten!”—Chi­ cago Journal. HOME SWEET HOME NOW THAT CHRISTMAS IS NEAR N0B00T KICKS I ABOUT ME SMOKING IN THE PARLOR-OBOV’ JOHN! ARE MOD BOOKING IN W PARLOR *> J iLD Mr. Gimlet was sitting all alone by | himself. The cold Decemter wind was driving the snow against tbe frosty windows, and now aud then It seemed to fairly screech at him. Some of the appeared to have got into his hair, and some of the frost into his heart, for he looked old. and cold, and grim. Tbe firelight shadows that played on the wall were like the thoughts that went to and.fro in his mind In the light of the memories of the brighter days of the past The empty chairs reminded him of his frlendlessiH-ss, the slow ticking of the old clock, as it tried to be a companion, only made him feel how lonely he was.' He felt as much out of the world, as far away from its gladness as the picture of his grandfather that hung over the shelf. Mr. Gimlet was wondering what be would get for Christmas. He had spent many years in wondering what he would get, and had gotten a good many things. No one had a better house than he, few had as much money as be had. There was a park, there was a garden; within and without and all about him were the things that money can buy. Yes, Mr. Gimlet was as rich as money and things can make a man. And yet, although all these things had not made him happy, he was wishing for more. He did not know any better than to wish for more, and, though he could not think of any­ thing that he needed, he hoped that someone would think of something or other that he might want and that might give him a gleam of real Christ­ mas Joy. Away out on a prairie the Bump family were holding n consultation, after the children had gone to bed. At that moment the father and mother of the family were perplexed and even a good deal worried. The Bumps had been practicing fanning for some time, but .without anticipated results. The children didn’t see anything the matter with fanning. The move out of the smoky city had been an en­ trance into paradise for them. Don­ ald had ten bens and a rooster. Doro­ thy owned two Muscovy ducks, with green feathers. Kenneth had a little pony that they called "Bigger,’’ be­ cause they thought he would grow. Small Edith kept a flower bed that she called her "gardy." There was a pony cart They had raised a 43-pound watermelon. Father had said that the rest of the garden wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans, but it had. There was apt to be enougu for yum yum cake, with raisins In it, to go around. Why, it waa like a perpetual picnic! And even now, with all things under tbe snow blanket, and tbe pony and the two cows safe in the Blnif, little Jesus, sing for met There's a mortgage on our- Christines When Dorothy awoke she remem­ bered that she had dreamed about writing a letter to Santa Claus, and so she went and wrote IL This Ute letter: Dear Santa Claus: There's something the matter ___ our cowi They've got a mortgage on ’em.

Please DOROTHY, Then, .when father went to town, Bigger,.. he put with tbe Huie pony, . __________ the letter into the post office, only he directed it to Mrs. Bump's brother, Mr. Ephraim Gimlet. Mr. Gimlet was very much surprised to hear from the Bumps. He had The Next Day the Carrier Brought a Promising Looking forgotten that he had a sister, and that there were a lot of little hope­ ful Bumps. trouble had made him bitter and forgetful, and he had felt more aloue in tlie world than he really was. As he sat again by the firelight, but on a clear and moon­ lit night, he mused on things past with a new tenderness in his heart and wel­ comed a new thought that came warm­ ly to him and brought a lovely pur­ pose with it. He would play Santa Claus, and give himself the surprise of making others happy! So, the day before Christmas thiugs happened at the Bump house. As Mr. Bump went to the wayside post box he found two letters. One of them made him sad, for it was from the man who held the mortgage, and it said that the time for payment had come. It meant to Mr. Bump, "your money, or your cows." But the other letter was from Mr. Gimlet, and It made Mr. Bump leugh until he cried, for it was a check for $300, with some kindly, friendly words and good wishes, enough to cure the rows and all the family troubles. The next day the carrier brought a most promising looking big box from Uncle Gimlet, so that the Christ­ mas tree was full of happy surprises I for tbe little folks and a gift or two for the big ones. Mother made a big pie in the dishpan and the children found out what was In it- Dorothy poked a hole through the pasteboard grust and pulled out a maple sugar hefcrt. Donald got a red sugar heart ’ Kenneth got a white sugar heart Edith got a yellow sugar heart. Mother said it was Uncle Gimlet's kind heart that had made them all so happy. Then Mr. Gimlet got another letter. It was e round robin from all the Bumps, with the little Bump names and marks upon it, too. It made the old man very happy. He was sitting) among a lot of pleasant things that I had been sent in for his Christmas tree, but he was not thinking very much of them. He sat with tbe let­ ter in his hand and a far-off look In bls eyes as be thought of the sweet­ ness of love, and felt that the best gift that he had received was ths barn, fanner Bump had laughed with happy surprise that he bad given to tbe happy, rosy children, as the dog the people ou the prairie farm.

They were going to have their own little Christ­ mas tree there—qu'te by themselves, and their friends had left their wed­ ding presents and their Christmas presents there, though almost all of the former they had seen, of course. “Are you almost ’ ready?" It was Mrs. Allen calling up the stairs. "Almost, mother dear.- she an­ swered. "Youl! be late." her mother called. ‘TH hurry," she said. "Do you want any help?" ' But she had taken longer than she had thought Yes. if she didn’t hurry she would be late! Still she would have George all her life now. How wonderful It would be! She wondered if that was why brides were so often late because they felt they had so much time! It was a gloriously happy thought to realize how much time she bad. She was only ten minutes late. The few friends were at the Christmas day wedding. And hd$ bouquet was of holly and mistletoe. She had always said site would love to have such a wedding bouquet. It would be so merry and Christmasy and such a happy, gay kind of a bouquet George had consented of course. He •greed to everything she said, be­ cause he loved her so. and she was so fair with him, too, because she loved him so! The ceremony was over, They drove away in a low sleighi with Jingling bells to the small 1house. There, by themsektes, they opened presents. What a glorious time they had.

Abandoned Farms in Foothills < Green Mountains in Vermont Pro­ vide the Yuletide Sprouts. INCE five million Christmas gjj) trees are annually shipped out of Vermont, It is only natural to wonder where they all come from. They must come from farms—not farms operated to produce the Christ­ mas tree crop, but abandoned farms where the trees have planted and reared themselves. , These abandoned farms lie Im-high valleys In the foothills of the Green mountains. One may see sections cov­ ered by thirty-odd farms, once thriv­ ing settlements, but now all but two or three may be unoccupied. Such land, once under the plow Is gradual­ ly coming back to forest. Along the fern-choked, faintly-traced furrows, young spruces come up and In the open sunshine take on a vivid green.

Per­ haps he had speculated, lost bis money in Wall street, or on the curb. So many people did, she had been told. Louis would be poor and she would darn his socks and get his meals, and tiiey'd live in the old flat and keep lhe coxy red plush furniture. Louis had been talking lately of moving to better quarters. . He took her hands in his. “It’s go­ ing to be hard on you,” Re said. “Oh, no." she answered, trying to repress the exultant note in her voice. “I ll be glad— “ She was about to tell him how op­ pressive the riches had been, how they had almost suffocated her. How much happier she wou’d be to have to save nmney, rathe-, than try to spend it for Louis' sake, to make him feel she enjoyed it. "Wifey,” he said Anally, “they want me to tour Euro|>e. It’s n great chance. Tbere's big money in it, and the boys all want to go with me. Do you sup­ pose, wifey. J know you’re awful sea­ sick, and a poor traveler." His face looked worried. “But do you suppose you could stand tbe seasick­ ness and all, for I’d be so lone­ some leaking you home? They want me so much—and they know I wouldn't want to go without you— that they’re going to pay your ex­ penses and mske that a little Christ­ mas present for you!" She gave a lookzaT the beloved red plush furniture. / Would there never be any rest from prosperity? Her fate was sealed. "I guess I could stand it, Louis," sbe said bravely. But In her heart there was Lopelessnew. Money. Eu­ rope, riche* and more riches, a limou­ sine future and a street car soul! And a Christmas present of such a trip! And she. alas, would have so much preferred a street car ride and a sewing basket from the boys such aa they had given her that flnrt Christmas after ahe had married Louis, when they hadn’t been rich! �But the Insistent sound of the knocking again drowned .the colonel's words. Vesta was poking the fire to hide her embarrassment. Her mother went the door. “Howdy, Aunt Lucy!" greeted a fresh, boyish voice. “Well, of all tilings, tf It isn’t Phil Drake!" cried she in a muffled voice between the bear hug he proffered “This is a surprise, my boy. We thought you were still In France." “Just got back, and no place ever looked quite so good to me. My train was delayed down the line, owing to. a wreck .... no, no one hurt, but everybody’s held up for Christmas. I just thought I’d spend mine with my Cranford relation, so I took Shank's mare over here. Howdy, uncle, and a merry Christmas!

"I'm disappointed, of course, that I couldn't get home for the great day. for my lost one was spent in the trenches, and mother was banking on this one; but I wired her Td be-there between now and tomorrow night if I had to hike all the way. Hope you’ve got a turkey and all tbe fixings!" "We surely have!" smiled Vesta, “and you shall have tbe lion’s share. You've Joe Benn to thank for that. Come, shake hands with my cousin Phil. Joe Bean.” "Proud to meet an honest-to-goedness soldier,” mumbled the old man, ambling forward, meantime fumbling with his whiskers. “Sorry I didn't have a boy myself—•” * “Zounds!" muttered the colonel; “wishing he hnd a boy to be killed off ..J GREEN Christmas, a fat graveyard !” sighed Mrs. Drake wistfully, gazing across the shriv­ eled fields to the lit­ tle cemetery on the hillside, where two sons* and a daugh­ ter were resting under the brooding pines. “I never did like a green Christmas." sh-e added, puckering her forehead. “Pshaw! Christ­ inas Is no better than any other day, Lucy." re­ turned th6 colonel testily, watching the effect of his words through the ■overhanging curtain of his bushy eye­ brows. “But it doesn't seem at all like Christmas, Henry. If you dont make presents." faltered his wife. “ I can’t make It seem right that Nora and the children are not to be with u«. Don't you think we should let bygoqes be bygones and telephone them to come •overF she added timidly. "Silence!" thundered her husband, bis face as white oh his hnlr from the pent*up wrath of his feelings. "Nora made her bed, now let her lie In it. She's no daughter of mine Io marry a good-for-nothing scamp of an artist without a penny to bls name. As to tlie children, they're as dead to me as •those up on the hillside yonder!" From her comer by the fireplace Testa eyed her father nervously, as ahe stroked the fur of Nebuchadnez­ zar. Nora’s pet cat. How changed he was. and what hod brought it all about? There was no real reason that ’ ahe' could see, except her father’s stubbornness. Don was not a bad sort, and he had made Nora a good hus­ band. providing well for her and the -children. Then there was John Den­ ton. It was Just such a night as this that be had driven him (from the house. The young mas hud made some laughing remark about their differ­ ences In politics to which the colonel had taken .exception. Hot of temper and bitter of tongue, be had disposed of the matter promptly. John had asked Vesta to decide whether she would be ruled by love or fear. She was but twenty, nnd to her filial duty wm a fetish. There was no alterna­ tive, she told him. She hr.d Dever answered one of his letters, and in time they had ceased to come. Up had forgotten, of course, and it was as well for both, as her duty lay to her parents, now entirely alone. Vesta's fingers trembled as she em­ broidered the last dainty forget-menot on the little pink flannel for No­ ra’s newest baby, the one they had never seen. The fire was getting low, and she rose and poked the coals until they glowed with new life, then heaped the andirons with hickory logs. In a few momenta the faint odor of pungent wood began to filter through the room, and as it did so Vesta’s courage rose. ‘We must hang up our stockings to­ night, dears." she began softly. “Let's just play we. are little children again. I'm sure Santa Claus is coming this way. Let us be Joyful together this year, at least, for life la so uncertain, you know. Won’t you play I’m your little girl this Christmas, DaddyT’ she ended pleadingly.“Don’t be a fool. Vesta,” retorted her father sharply. “If you’re ever going to be a woman you should show some signs of it at thirty. All this talk about Christinas Is nonsense. . . . nonsense, I tell you. I declare Tm sick of people spending their last cent to make a show this time of the year, and making a bid for presents In <rchange for their own.” "But the joy of giving—” “Saw old Job Bean today.” he went on, waving her remarks aside. “And what do you suppose he had the nerve to say?

Do you hear meF He ended with an Impotent thump of his faithful Mick. Vesta rose slowly, and bravely toss­ ing hack her head, crowed the room and flung open the door. • “Glad to see you. Miss Vesta, and a merry Christmas.” greeted old Joe Bean cheerily. “Told your father to­ day Td bring you over a turkey for the great feast. Knew yours had all died off this year, and thought it would help to tell you It’s Christmas.” ■he chuckled with smiling lips that his ■enormous bfeard could not conceal. “Merry Christinas to you. Joe!” re­ turned Vesta. •’Come right In,” she ■added with a covert glance In the di­ rection of her father, who was sitting very erect in his Sleepy Hollow chair. Mrs. Drake rose and came forward, hands outstretched nervously. *It was very kind of you to remem­ ber us, Joe,” she began, taking the turkey. "Why, what a nice fat fellow he is!” she added appreciatively. “Com-fed !" chuckled the old man. “Fattened him on purpose for you," .he answered Ingratiatingly. Tbe colonel nodded Indifferently. “Oh. don't say thank you. It's noth­ ing at all," deprecated Joe. "I wasn't going to, Bean, so save your breath. I’m not keen about either giving or taking. Every man for him­ self. you know. That’s ray motto. It's “Silence!” by the Germans. Some patriot you are, Joe. Glad my two died before the Huns got a whack at ’em." “Henry!” pleaded his wife, tears welling to her gray eyes. “Daddy!” began Vesta sharply. Phil and old Joe Bean stared wonderingly. The colonel had never been like this in tbe old days-, He now rose, flung himself out of hW chair, and stalked oqt of the room. An Instant later they beard him thumping his way upstairs. Mrs. Drake soon followed. Joe Bean took his cue and departed, “Cousin Vesta."” Phil Phil twwn began sternly, "I’m very sorry for you. but at tlie same time exceedingly angry." “Don’t, Phil, please don’t!” she begged. “I know what you would say.

Even Phil was startled. “1 told you ao 1“ he nodded with a grimace as he strode toward the door. Flinging it open he beheld two wee tote, a boy and a girl, standing on the front porch, clinging to each other timidly. “We’s tasted!”‘piped the little girl, before Phil had time to voice his ex­ clamations of surprise. “Is this the new heaven Y’ ‘Guess it Is I” greeted Phil cheerily. “Come right In and we’ll talk it over.

In another instant she was down on her knees removing their tittle caps and “Sorry I j I ; Didn't Have a Boy Myself." coats. to which clung great flakes of snow. “Why. it must l>e snowing, after Tns so glad all,” she cried hnppHly. .. . for, as muinsey says, I never did like a green Christinas.” “It sure Is snowing." announced I'hll. opening the door anti gazing Into the night. Vesta jievred over his shoulder to the bank of clouds rolling In from tlie east with little spits and flurries of snow. Just then the door banged shut. “What’s that?" demanded the col­ onel from the head of the stairs. "Just the wind, daddy. It blew the door shut." said Vesta soothingly, plac­ ing her Ups on her lingers with an admonishing “S-h-h-h-h. . . . !" to I'hit “Guess It’s the Christmas spirit try­ ing to get In. Uncle Henry.” said the young lieutenant with a wicked little laugh. But the pajnmaed figure hold­ ing a brass candlestick aloft had van­ ished. “Is that our g’anpa?" chorused two little voices. “An’ Is dis heaven?” they demanded. “Guess you're on th4 right track, lit­ tle ones," cheered Phil. “Now tell us all about It," he encouraged as he and Vesta led them toward the hearth where they were soon nestling on the pair of old rose cushions Vesta had brought out for the occasion. "Yes. tell us about It. dears,’ she urged gently, “and we’ll see.” “We fordetted to say Merry ’tismus to God. an’ Aunt Elsie and g’anpa—" said the little girl^ “We fordetted to say Merry 'Tismus ....’’ echoed her brother. “Daddy John said we’d so«»n be in tyeaven and that we'd see God an’ Aunt Elsie and g’anpa.

Vesta laughed heartily and hugged the little girl to her breast The child snuggled contentedly. “She's slightly mixed on her geog­ raphy." whispered Phil, “and thinks we are some persons else. We’ll get down to facts after a while.” But the only Information they could glean from the children was that their mother was in heaven with tbe angels and God. They were on their way there with Daddy John on the train, when there was a big crash. When they awoke Daddy John was gone. 80 they just went to find him. “We must have been on the same train." said Phil, “but how those little duffers ever managed to get here is more than I know.

She was now floundering in deep waters. “Sure!" he pledged in his deep baas voice. “If you’ll go to t>ed now aud get to sleep. You can listen for the rein­ deers, and perhaps Santa Claus will fill up your stockings and bring you a Qirlstmas tree." "Phil!" ejaculated Vesta. “It Isn’t right to'dlani-jjoint them.” He waved her aside. “That’s all right, fairy godmother!” “And will he bring our Daddy JohnF asked the little girl anxiously. "Who knowsF ventured Phil cau­ tiously. But this request was too much for Vesta, who had already hurried away toward the attic and a certain copperbound trunk, full of small garments. “Is that you. VestaF called her fa­ ther's querulous voice. "Yes. dad." “Aren’t you In bed yet?" he mut­ tered. "I’m going soon, dear,” she lied blushlngly. knowing full well that the two hours ahead would be busy ones. Assisted by Phil she managed to get two wobbly heads and two pair of small limp arms and legs Into the sleeping garments, for the sandman hnd already claimed them. “I lit a fire In ti»e spare room, Phil; we’ll Just carry them In there. Do be quiet, for dad mustn't know until morn­ ing." she whispered. “The old reprobate .... !” said Phil under his breath. Vesta glanced at him reproach­ fully as he lifted the chubby figure of the little girl in his arms, while she carried the little boy. Shortly after­ ward Budge and Toddy were tucked away between warm blankets in the big four-poster In the spare room. Back before the fireplace Vesta and Phil gazed blankly at each other. “Didn’t I tell you so?" volunteered the latter cheerfully. "Didn’t I tell you that you’re the goddess of the hearth? That the Christmas spirit would come your way tonight?1 That you were born to be the mother of little children?" he interrogated in staccato tunes. “But how ure we to Uve up to our promisesF she laughed. Ignoring his comments. "The House of Drake is embarrassed by its shower of bless­ ing* I have no doubt that we are entertaining angels unawares, but now that you have succeeded in inducing the Christmas spirit to tarry, why not try your magic on Santa Claus and bld him bring us a treeF "I lose no time in accepting the com­ mission. Behold in me an impromptu Santa Claus, ready to do the bidding of the vestal virgin. Now for some druid to lend the way to a forest of young balsams." "At your service!’’ laughed Vesta gaily. "It is but eight o’clock." she said, glancing at the old banjo clock over the mantel. “I have nn inspira­ tion. Come!" she commanded, snatch­ ing her tam-o’-shanter and coat from the halltree, at the same time handing Phil his own coat and hat. Five min­ utes later they were on their way across lots to the balsam grove on the hillside, armed with tbe sharpest ax In the colonel’s toolcliesL Sood a small but symmetrical tree was laid low. "So far, so good!" breathed Phil Cheerfully, shouldering the embyro Christmas tree. “I declare It’s worth a, trip to France, with a train off the track, to have this experience. But how about a Santa Claus rig?” “One thing at a time, Phil," gurgled Vesta In so girlish a voice that the mhn was almost startled. “I declare this tarrying of the Christmas spirit, entertaining guests unawares, playing a vestal virgin and being a druid all in one night Is rather exhilarating. Maybe we’ll have a real Christmas yet. Poor dad and muinsey! I’m wonder­ ing. . . .” "One thing at a time, Vesta." mocked Phil gaily. "I prophesy other sur­ prise* When the Christmas spirit Is abroad In Hie land no telling what mir­ acle may happen. Even Uncle Henry may get a Jolt into the Kingdom of Happiness. I'Jl sure do my part to bring this to pass." As they passed down the hillside to the quiet street, now carpeted with snow, they heard a sound of'sleighbells. Soon happy voices were carol­ ing. “Silent Night! Holy Night I" they sang. * The Christmas tree and holly man waa still dispensing his wares when they at last reached the market, and soon Vesta’s arms were laden with shining holly wreaths in which many red berries gleamed, while Phil with bis balsam and other packages looked nke an animated Christmas tree. "Here's a sprig of mistletoe for you. Miss Vesta, and a Merry Christmas to you.” said old Sam, with a sly glance at Phil. I “Why, I begin to feel like a little ; girl again," cried Vesta happily, as , they trudged along through the snow toward home. "I never knew before ! that the Christmas spirit could be so nice. I declare I Lave little creepy feelings of joy all up and down my spine this minute.” "Same here!" agreed Phil. “But you’d better ‘douse the glim,’ Vesta. In the language of the immortal Vic­ tor Hugo, or Its fllckerings will tell taler to your august parents. Some Christmas after all. ehF he added as he tugged the tree up the steps of th** front porch while Veeta held the d“«» wa. All was culet within bw Vesta smiled wanly, as she reptan- . lithed the fire, t«*sing onto the eottla handful of phosphorescent powder, the culorw of which flashed up instant­ ly, illuminating the tree with a won-.* derful iridescent light. A long silence followed. “High priestess of tbe sacred fire,” began Phil gently, “fairy godmother, or whatever thou art, I hear tbe crunch­ ing of heavy footsteps on your gravet path. ShnII I intercept the gentleman,, and spare thy fatiier’s wrath F “Oh, do," begged sbe.

At the sound of the deep, manly voice Vesta swayed like a Illy on a tall, slender stalk. There was a blur before her eyes, and the sound of distant mu­ sic In her ears. It was the carolers, of course, for she had always prided herself that she was not one of th%fainting kind. “Sweetheart Vesta!” came a far­ away voice. "Beloved! Open your eyes. Ix>ok at me," he added compellingly. . “John 1" whispered she, unbelieving­ ly, "John!” a world of longing In the name. Suddenly sbe remembered, and drawing herself up proudly she led the way to Hie spare room. “I forgot . . , you came to get your babies.

Sweetheart Vesta," he sold tenderly, Unking her arm hr his, "but .lt happens they are not my babies. They belong to my brother Luke, who died In France, Their mother died when they were born.

Fred a ► ChrisTiW W ■i E are approaching a day in this festive season when sordid business should be forgotten and our thoughts given over to the serious consideration of those blessings which the coming Christmas celebrates. Asa people we have been signally blessed. Among the nations engaged in the great war, we have sustained the smallest loss. We are today in the most favored position—we in a few years have passed from a minor to a major position among the nations of the earth, and from a debtor to a creditor nation. The world awaits the suggestions and action of this government, and as we occupy this won­ derful position, we should appreciate our re­ sponsibility and be sane in our deliberations, CHRISTMAS GIFTS ♦ G x LAD Christmas Day is here again with loving word and deed.

Put. a pint of oysters In a colander and pour over them cold water to * rinse, then pick out the oysters with the fingers to see tiiat there are no bits of shell. Heat three cupfuls of milk over hot water; strain into It the oyster liquor and add three ta­ blespoonfuls of butter.

The next short course offered to men and women of Barry county will be held in the Hastings high school the week of January 16th. Beginning on Monday night and continuing throughout the week including Fri­ day evening from 7.30 to 9.30 o'clock. The two subjects offered ecpecially to the men are on soils and horticulture. The horticultural course will include fruit, orchard fruits and small fruit, potatoes and garden vegetables, and will be discussed by special st from the Michigan Agri­ cultural college. We are all Inter­ ested, or at least should be. in these two subjects and judging from the other course, a great deal of infor­ mation can be attained by attending tbe meetings The women also have a special program and will discuss nutrition. The meetings will be held each eve­ ning from Monday until Friday In­ clusive. 7.30 to 9.30. This subject of nutrition la being widely discuss­ ed and studied throughout this state as well as other states. It is some­ thing that is of importance to us all. Miss M. Hopkins, nutrition specialist, from the Michigan Agricultural col­ lege will be in charge of the classes during the week. A complete program will be pub­ lished in next week's Issue of this Paper• Transportation Taxes Repealed Jan. 1 Transportation taxes are wiped out beginning January 1 by the terms of the new revenue act, to be signed • recently by President Hard­ ing. says the State Farm Bureau. Taxes to go are the 3 per cent tax on freight charges, 8 per cent on passenger fares and Pullman tickets, one per cent on e-press shipments and the special stamp tax on parcel post. Telephone and telegraph tax­ es stay with us. The transportation tax ha* been turning into the national coffers about 1300.000,000 annually, of which the farmers have paid not less than 1105.000,000. according to the Amer­ ican Farm Bureau. The fanners’ share, distributed among the six mil­ lion farms of the nation, means that the farmers will be relieved of an annual average ^transportation tax harden of 117 per farm. Shippers who prepay freight be­ fore January 1 must pay the tax. no matter when the freight arrives at destination. Shippers who ship col­ lect need not pay the tax If the freight arrives on or after January 1, says Treasury Department ruling 2255 on the tax repeal. FxnnfT Seldom Wins Taking Seed Chances.

As the new year greets us. let us cheerfully pass the greetings along to each other, with a determination to do that which is permitted u* to do in an effort to build up this com­ munity and enhance tbe welfare of every individual citizen thereof. There are many ways of doing this, but'one way especially comes to our mind at this time. We are in the habit of looking up­ on our municipal officials a* our pub­ lic servants, who are expected to do our bidding. But the faithful per­ formance of duty is not Incumbent alone upon them. Jt devolve* equal­ ly upon us as citizens. That duty is to aid and assist them In their labor* for the common good. If there Is one single condition ex­ isting in this' town that is not as it should be it is our duty to point it out to them, in order that they may give it consideration. If' there is an improvement that „ can be made thaX will be justified by circumstances and will be of benefit to the community, it is our duty to bring that to their attention. In other words, our duty as citi­ zens does no end with casting our ballots at the polls. The men we elect to public office are entitled to our encouragement and loyal sup­ port in all that is for tbe welfare ot the community. We can not be lax tn our duty and’ expect them to remain zealous In the performance of theirs. The fifty-fifty road is a good one to travel. It is tbe only road upon which "is real community spirit Is encountered. Perhaps you think there Is noth­ ing you can do for Nashville during the coming year. If so, you are modest—by far too modest. First, you can Improve the appear­ ance of your own property by inaug­ urating a “clean-up" system. You'll be surprised at tbe difference it will make. A few little touches here and there often transform a place. When you see your neighbor doing the same you can encourage him by complimenting him on the improve­ ments he is making. He will feel that his work is appreciated by oth­ ers and will be more disposed to con­ tinue it. Then again he may pass this spirit of fraternity along with like results in'other places. You can do much toward instill­ ing a neighborly feeling and comradshlp on the part ot the people by simply extending a little of your own sunshine to those around you. A pleasant smile on your face in­ variably brings another one to some other face. How simple it would be to make an endless chain of these smiles and keep them perpetually on the move! And what a wonderful difference it would make in the«home life of the community. . Yes. there Is much that you can do tor Nashville in 1922—if you will. Modesty is commendable, but don't carry it to excess.

The whole of her ached for him. Yes, she had waited all her life for him. never mistaking In any of the otludn, the substitute for the real. “I feel as you go,” she aald softly, “I Jove children!” And she spoke the truth. Rut yet a truth that was only half a truth. They were married, in the little vil­ lage church on Christmas Eve and when later the carols pealed forth they felt as though even the carols were for their happiness alone! They had been nm fried several years. Closer and closer had they grown together. How glad she wks she had waited until she was sure site loved. She had had so many pro­ posals, and there were girls who had had so few. She hud often thought of tbe girl to whom the simplest of pleasures had come as a complete and magnificent Joy. Tills girl had had no attentions, her life had been almost .monies*. At Inst came a man Into her life, very slowly, very unemotionally, but each slow step along the way was one which thrilled her and which mounted up to huge and great propor­ tions. It had to be a great deal to rouse. Marjorie but Gregory had mused her—fully. She had always kept her fresh charm and her appeal though she had left youth behind. Her skin was smooth, her color good. her. eyes dark and lustrous and her hair had no traces of gray. But durirfg this time no children had come tn them. Gregory now didn't seem to care whether they came or not. He was quite content with her. "People change their Ideas after they marry If they really love the woman they marry,” he used to tell her. "Before they have theories. Now if children came, all well and good. But I couldn’t lie any happier than I am now." She knew lie spoke the truth. Site knew it. He was even jealous of her eagerness for children. Was this what It meant to marry, he some times asked himself. • Did people for- fault* the heritage of my life has been pnnishing me.

Marjorie.” he went on. “if at first you had told me you were to have a child 1 would have been de­ lighted—It wbnld have seemed the conventional Idea of the completion of married life which I had pictured In my mlrid. Afterward I realised that the most Important nt all was that I had you and loved you and that you loved me. “Lately I’ve become very jealous of your desire for children because 1 though I didn't count so much. How dreadfully we’ve grnped in the dark even though we have been so close together.” She was happy then as she hadn't been before, happy in the love that he now gave her. the love for which she had braved a lie. And even ns he held her close she thought of It—and life—no‘full of per­ plexing moral Issues. Had she not lied to him would »he have fulfilled 'And It's to Be an Anniversary Child.” their own happy destinies? Would they have not rather gone their separate ways, yet two more unhappy mortals whose lives were but a makeshift? Yet she had lied and In that lie she had cheated him. the one whom of all others she had cared most for she had cheated most completely. Perhaps he didn't care for children now. Perhaps he would ne^er think of them again. Perhaps, oh perhaps. a hundred conjectures! But clearly standing above the others were these two issues—she had lied to win him and because of thatlle she had cheated and played false to the one site loved. A He Is a vigorous parent, imbu­ ing Its offspring with Its ever power­ ful blood of doubt and worry.

For what he saw, and what I had seen, was the unmistakable print, in the soft earth Just inside of the planking, of one of Jeanie's brown­ leather riding-boots.

I reckon there ain't nothin’ to be gained by bittin’ the trail afore we've had a 11T rest-up spell, is there T I had no objection to offer, you may be sure; and after we had found a camping spot and had picketed the pony with the light rope that Jeanie always carried tied to the cantie of her saddle, we made a good fire to serve In lieu of tbe blankets that we didn't have and stretched ourselves out to sleep the sleep of the fagged and legweary. The next thing I- knew—and it seem­ ed to be Just about a minute after I had closed my eyes—Daddy was shak­ ing me awake. “Time to be moggin’ along, if. we aim to get home for breakfast, sonny," he announced. At the break of day we were coming into tiie Clnnabar-Atropia road at precisely the point at which we left it the evening before. The sun was Just beginning to gild the upper heights of Old Cinnepar when we trailed over the broad plateau bench below the mine and headed for the slope that led up to the dump head. As we topped this last hill there was an amazing surprise awaiting us—a surprise and a. shock. On the level spot which served as a dooryard for the Twombly cabin stood a horse, sad­ dled and bridled, its drooped ears and hanging head showing ttyat it had been ridden far and hard. And on the. cabin door-step, sitting at ease and calmly chewing a half-burned cigar, was— Bullerton! CHAPTER XIII. The Old Man Flung Himself Upon the Dirt Pile. Madly was room for only one to work at a time. I stood at his elbow and held the torch. 1 don’t know what he expected to find hidden under the slide, but I do k«Bw whut I whs afraid he was going to find. After all. It was only a flash In the pan. so far as any dreadful discovery was concerned. Inside of five minutes. Daddy, working like a man demented, had dug the entire cave-in away, and there was nothing to show for the frantic shoveling—less than nothing. Apiln. I don’t know how Daddy felt, but I’m sure I was able to* breathe better, the Improvement dating from the moment when It became apparent 'that the earth heap had grown too small under the shovel stabs to pos­ sibly conceal a human body. The collie had followed us and Daddy Hiram scowled down at him. "If that dog could only be like old Gran’paw Balaam’s donkey for a min­ ute 'or so." he mused. “He saw her go In there and raw her come out; likewise and the same, he must ’ve seen what she did after she come out. Looks as If be wanted to talk and tell us, don’t he?" Barney was certainly giving a good imitation of that, or some other anx­ iety. He was frisking about and bark­ ing. leaping up now and then to snap at an Imaginary fly in the air. Daddy caught him by his lower Jaw and held him Immovable. "Go find her, Bar­ ney !” he commanded; "good dog—go find her!" The Instant he was released the col­ lie acted as if he understood perfectly what was wanted of him. Springing aside, he began to circle again, nose to the ground, and within htftf a min­ ute he was off, thia time heading into a dim trail that led away diagonally down the mountain, not in the direc­ tion of Atropla, but rather an the othef leg of 8 triangle, one slrfe of which might be the desert edge, one the trail we had followed from the Atropla road, and the third the route we were now taking to the eastward. It must have been within an hour or so of midnight when we left the mountain forests behind and gut into the region of barren foothills. Here the collie seemed much surer of his ground, and we had our work cut out for us in the effort to keep up with him. In the starlight I made out the' line of telegraph poles as we ran,, and pretty soon our dog leader swung off to the right and we found ourselves trotting on a line parallel to the rail­ road track and only a Uttle way from IL Pretty soon. the dog disappeared; and then we heard him barking at a little distance to tbe left of the paral­ lel tracks. When we went to see what be had found, the mystery suddenly took another tack and veered off into a new channel. In a small grassy hol­ low between two of the hills we came upon the dog and the calico pony. The bridle rehis had slipped over the bron- A Battle and a Siege. “We were gtrtng to Angels—to gets married," he panted. “Ah—oh—I wansto meet her at Atropla—she—she wae*. afraid to ride all the way &lth me— afraid—the old man—would come gus> ning! Oh, for God's sake, Broughton,. take your thumb out of my back:— you're killing me by inches!" “You need a little killing worse than < anybody I know," I told him. "Go oa; you were to overtake her at Atropla; . what then?" "I didn't see her again!” he howled^ "I don't know where she went!" I didn't believe much of what h»was saying, and I think Daddy Hiram.. didn’t, though we had proved It truar-up to the point where they had sepa­ rated on the Atropla road. I wouldj have gone on, making him talk somamore, but the louk that was creeping^ into the old man's eyes made me iart up. As I read the look it meant that Daddy couldn't stand It to see tbr third-degree stunt carried to its finish, so I got up and pulled Bullerton tev hls feet. He was pretty badly wrecked,! as I meant him to be; still couldn’t: straighten his neck, and stood as 1T2 one leg were about half paralyzed, as-j perhaps It was. “This outfit Is my property, and?, you've out-stayed your welcome1" U snapped at him. “Climb your.horste* and get off the map I" He limped over to his horse, anu? gathered the reins and tried to put foot Into the stirrup. Whea I sawv that he couldn’t do even that. much. 15 grabbed him and heaved him Into ths*sadtUe; did this, and gave the horse m slap to set him going. I guess I shall always be able to recall the picture-of that brown-bearded pirate riding, across the Clnnulmr dump head in the early morning sunshine, screwing his body In the saddle—because he couldn't turn tbe stiff-necked bead by Jtself—to yell buck at me with six-. zllng curses, "I’ll get you—111 get you x yet! D—u your eyes—do you think... you can make a hobbling cripple o® me and get away with it? I’ll—and«t then breaking it'off short and kicking’,the ribs of his nag frantically for morespeed when I made as if 1 were going to run after him. (TO BE CONTINUED.) It was Daddy Hiram who made the first break. "Charley Bullerton, where's my daughter?" he rapped out, hurling the question at the loafer on our doorstep in a son of deadly rage that you wouldn’t have thought possible In so mild-mannered a man. "You needn't worry about her,", was the cool response. “Didn’t you get the note she left for you. saying that you needn't?" Then, as if he had Just seen and recoMiized me: “Hello, Brough­ ton ; we’ve missed a day, but I’ll give you the benefit of it and not dock you. Are you selling the old water-logged Cinnabar for twenty thousand dollars this fine morning? It’ll probably save you more or less trouble If you are.” He didn’t get the kind of answer he They have n remarkable fish in wanted; or any relating to the mine.
