Following are prices in Nashville markets on Wednesday, at the hoar Grapes are grown differently than in Michigan. The vine* are cut back every year almost to the stump. Some stumps large as the body of apple lreeg have vinea branching out more like blackberry bushes than grape vines. Some kinds are staked or trellised. Some people are most indignant because so many of the giant redwoods are being sawed in­ to grape-flUkes. Near Ix»ma Linda we ran into a sand storm, a Santana, the Spaniards call it, Santa Ana by most Ameri­ cans because the wind seems to fol­ low the Seco (dry river bed) of the Santa Ana river. Every forty rod* or so across this valley a double row of tall eucalypti have been planted to protect crops and buildings from the Santanas. The sand fills your eyes and pelts your skin until it feels raw; in places the air Is so thick one cannot see ten feet ahead. We were told that it sometimes wore the paint off the cars, filled the road so travellers wore held until teams could plow out the road and pull out their cars, that telephone poles had to be covered with tin near the ground to prevent their being cut , down by sand. Henry sold not to tell this last, but telephone men were working at poles that were down as we came through and that was not .so bad a storm as others tell us of. There is a whole mountain of Port­ land cement beside the road. Many years of mining has not made much Impression on IL Therg are factor­ ies on at least two sides. We found Elmer Hanes' family at Loma. Linda happy in their new borne and work. We stayed with them one night. Next morning El­ mer took us up to the top of Sani­ tarium HIU, where we could look down on many acres of orange and apricot groves. Beyond were the iqountalus, some of them snow-cap­ ped, mighty pretty at sunrise and sunset. Mrs. Haynes said there was a forest fire on the mountains this summer that was quite a sight. The drive along the top of tho Sierras Is known as “The Rim of the World Drive,” and Is made by loaded bus-ses every day. all the way to Bakers­ field.. Loma Linda haH a pleasant climate; tho Hanes family are re­ joicing that they have no more snow to shovel. Following the boulevard to Beau­ mont, less than 100 miles east of Los Angeles, we ran into a regular desert, sagebrush, mesquite, tumble­ weeds. arrowweed and six kinds of cacti for vegetation. Our idea ot the desert as a waste of plain and sand received a jolt as, except where the hard rock comes to the surface, there is not a space of ten square feet without vegetation. There are even woodpiles from the roots and branches of mesquite far out into the desert. It must be joy to cut that wood es every twig is covered with thorns liko rose bushes, some of it has 'he name, "Catscla'T, All desert shrubs have either prickers or stickers. Mountains are along both sides of the trail. From a cloudless sky the sun glares down 365 days a year. The glare is reflected from the sand and the colored mountain sides until your eyes ache with the bright­ ness of it. On the right the mountains were dark, partly in the shadow; on the left they were much lighter, the background ranging from saud shade to yellow, In some places the color rivaled Yellowstone canyon. Near Mecca there were four mountains of decidedly different coloring grouped together. One trail led to “painted canyon." The strata are tilted at such an angle that the missing rocks made an Invisible outlet. You seem­ ed io be completely hemmed In, then you were in the next pocket. Mt. San Jacinto, 10,805, snow melting on top made a typical pic­ ture of the very beginning of a river system, the mountain streams comIng together in a torrent to run power plants In the valley, We forded two streams, one guite deep and very swift. The Ccachello valley is Irrigated and produces dates, figs and cotton in abundance.' Women were pick­ ing cotton, carrying tho loaded bas­ kets to -wagons. We visited the gin. where suction was used to convey the cotton In a large pipe from the wag­ on to the machines. Four gins were running to supply one baler on the floor above. The husks were blown out, the seeds fell into a trough which carried them to piles that were be­ ing sacked or shoveled into box cars for seed or to make cuttonseed oil or meal. ’ As the lint came down an inclined plane into the bailer a man poked it down with a Stick, then pressed it again and again until tho box was filled. Then the baler was turned over a hydraulic press where the lint was pressed into a solid mass, bound in burlap and held by steel bands. Bales weight from 304 600 lbs. An acre of cotton this year Is av­ eraging 139 lbs. of lint. It brings the rancher less than 25c a pound, about >34 an acre. The last gicners’ report shows 962,034 bales ginned throughout the south. . Leaving Mecca November 23, we drove 96 miles across the ousert where there was but one store and filling station at Desert Center. We passed the end of Salton Bee. which the Colorado overflowed and filled several years ago. One man said they rowed a boat ten feet above the roof of their home after the flood.

Sunset on the desert before we reached Blythe. The shadows grew longer and longer, every little peak among the thousands stood put for a while In bold relief. An orange radiance Hi the west lighted the sky for a halt houfr longer then the moon­ light shone on the deeert, which was suddenly cold. Bones of animals, perhaps of men, show white on the sands. We were glad again that we were not 49er’s making twelve miles a day with an ox team, hungering and thirsting. Three days in the' desert with all supplies chaps your face and cracks your lips. What it must have been to pioneers is be­ yond my imagination. A young couple from Dallas, Tex­ as, on their honeymoon, camped be­ side ’us at Blythe. He said we must enter Texas at El Paso, that it was so cold farther north *‘.Yoah Fo’d iwBvoh will stewt in the maw-nin." He tried to help tlx our low gear but the band was worn in twq and three leaves of springs were broken so we laid up a day for repairs. At Desert Center Henry asked if there was a place to camp. Waving his hand around toward all posits of the compass the dealer replied, “Lots of room; a million acres all like this.” Arizona Is like many people, unattractive exterior, but a heart of gold. Our route across the desert was called the “Ore Trail”. A new railroad was being built miles from nowhere, presumably by the mining Interests. The blue-green of copper shines out all over the mountains. While mining for copper many mines also mine gold and silver. There'are also mines of precious stones. From Blythe to llassayampa, about 150 miles, was more desert. Some hard road with sharp stones alter­ nating with dust-filled chucks. Some places there were 20 to 30 parallel tracks; whichever one you took you wished you had taken another. Our faces chapped in the alkali dust, .lips cracked until they bled; even the scarfskin at the roots of the finger nails dried out and formed dozens of hang-nails and isinglass in curtains cracked and broke. The thirst was not bad. One man was heard wish­ ing he could scare someone about to cross so as to be able to sell the ex­ pensive waterbag he had bought. The desert is filled with lunger?, men coughing all night, trying what the dry air will do tor T. B. ~Some of them are destitute, some have families sharing their " exile, One plucky little woman at MeccaLhad _ _ roamed over the desert three years doing her level best to help restore the health of her husband. She bor­ rowed books from the library to keep intellectually alive, studied Spanish in order to understand the lives of people about her, and endured un­ told hardships, digging mesquite roots for morning and evening camp­ fires, washing in a black tub over a grate set on a campfire, working and planning interminably to get proper food for the sick man. He had near­ ly recovered, became homesick and insisted on going east, driving their car to the Atlantic coast and stay­ ing there until forced to go back. Now the long struggle is begun again. There are many, many such pitiful cases/ Most of the cities out here have been obliged to build hospitals and organize relief for those sent west without means to care for themsel­ ves.

Tom Ewing never went to church. Rev. Arnyas Follett collared him one day In the street. “Why don't you come to our chureb, Mr. Ewing?" he asked. Tom answered very loudly: “I am above creeds, Mr; Follett. My creed Is the red blood of manhood that flows in the veins of every decent man. To live in, God’s great sunshine, protect women, nnd see fair play; that's my creed." "The big stiff gives me a pain,” said Larry, who was standing near, and had not quite got over Tom’s uncere­ monious introduction to Miss Daisy, nor the fact that Miss Daisy and Tom seemed on excellent terms. Once or twice they had met at Miss Daisy's bouse. Tom overheard the remark and turned crimson. He clenched a flat like a horse's knee and wheeled on Larry returned bls stare un­ flinchingly. “A red-blooded man takes insults from a weakling," the he-man mut­ tered, and turned away. This incident produced a division of opinion in Red Gulch. One party claimed that Tom Ewing had snown his red-bloodedness by his chivalrous behavior; the other advanced the the­ ory- that he had simply got coldjfeet. Still,* nobody Interfered with Tom. He went on his he-man way. Some day, opined Isaac Sagg. the grocer, some one would come along and tame him—but what was everybody’s busi­ ness was nobody’s business and no­ body bothered. But Nemesis Is never far away. Miss Daisy’s coldness’ toward Larry since the Tom Ewing episode was the subject of general comment. Larry went about with a permanent grouch. He went less often to Miss Daisy’s house, and when he did they quar­ reled bitterly, according to Kate, the Scandinavian cook-general. On the other hand, the he-man was there p’retty constantly. On this night the he-man is coming up the path when he hears the sounds of • violent altercation. The he-man quickens his steps. Larry is stand­ ing, white with race, confronting Miss Daisy, who Is crying. “I’ve done with you!” cries Larry. "All women are alike—all false—” "All women are not false. Chival­ rous American men protect them," says a voice In the doorway. “Be off and never darken this house again, or Hl give you a lesson you’ll, remem­ ber’ for the rest nf your days.” It is the he-runn. Miss Daisy screams. Larry turns round, puts up his fists. The he-man slaps his face. Next Instant the great bulk of the heman lies prostrate on the ground. Larry’s punch had gone home. The he-man rose, shaking, all the fight out of him. He rose to confront Miss Daisy, vibrant with indignation. "Oh. how anre you come here and strike Mr. Hill who isn’t half your size!” she cried. “I—I thought he was Insulting you—" stammered the ntwed he-man. “Well, what If be, wns? Hasn't a man the right to Insult a girl when he’s engaged to her? Oh. Larry, I only wanted to make you .J-Jeaious to find out If you really Moved me. -Th-throw that b-hig st-etlff oat of thh-house.” 1 But the he-man had vanished from the house already—and from Red Gulch. t)UCATION is a matter’of experience not of observation. Thirty years ago a professior of economics in one of our leading universities made the statement that 90% of all the monev invested in advertising was lost, and attempted to prove his observation by the statistics of commercial failures. That professor is today one of the most famous educators in the country. He is famous because he grew by experience to repudiate his youthful observation. He now reverses the faulty findings of his youth and today declares that 90% of the commercial failures are due either to the failure to advertise or to false or faulty advertising. If your advertisement says you have all wool goods and you’ve only 68% wool, the time will come when you will be found out. When that time comes all the advertising in the world won’t save you. The public will call your middle name “Fake” and view you with mistrust. The streets of Bagdad are lined with beggars, men who tried to live by trick and failed. Back of these beggar who crowd the curb are long lines of little stalls where tr ers ply all the arts of trade. Everyone views the other witn sus­ picion and every customer looks upon the tradesman with sus­ picion. There is no such thing as a stabilized commodity among them. There are no great department stores in Bagdad, no great clothing merchants, no hardware houses that carry the trademark stamp that assures you that what you get is all it is claimed to be. • > ■ Here in this-country, our manufacturers, men of character, put integrity into their product. They advertise the product for just what it is—that, no less and nd more. So you go into a store here or a thousand miles from here and ask for the com­ modity that YOU KNOW. You know'about it. You ddn’t even have to have it unwrapped; you are willing to take it in its original package with the seal unbroken; trade unsight, unseen. This you do because it has been advertised. < Every merchant who does not advertise or who cannot ad­ vertise honestly will always conduct a business of Bagdadbooth proportions. He will always be a little shop keeper, E doing a dinky little business. He’s the fellow who always offers ydu “something just as good.’’ Just ds the local merchant will always remain the little merchant, if he does not advertise honestly, so does the manu­ facturer remain a little manufacturer, conducting a little busi­ ness, if he attempts to distribute a commodity without adver­ tising. Advertising will build his business in proportion to the public need which he meets and the reliability of his own state­ ment about that which he has tp sell. No business can grow great without advertising and it will grow great only in propor­ tion to the atRpunt and character of the advertising which it does. No business can grow great without honest advertising. YOU—you and me, just average buyers. What shall we buy? Shall we buy of the Bagdad merchant and take the stuff without the sterling stamp? The intelligent purchaser buys through his merchant the commodities that are NATIONALLY ADVERTISED be­ cause he knows that experience has caught the business builders that a fal~6 statement about their goods means death to their business. s Your Bagdad merchant will size you up and charge ^ou what he thinks he can get. You can dicker and barter with him. He's a many priced man. He begins on a high price and reluctantly comes down step by step to meet you. That’s what your little shop keeper who does not advertise will do. He is not a fixed price man. That is what he does with the substitute, the “just as good” article. Go to the reputable merchant, ask for the nationally adver­ tised commodity, the manufacturer has stamped the price where you can see it, and there you get PROTECTION. If you are an intelligent buyer you will buy of the local merchant that advertises because he is the fellow who is willing to stand or fall by the public printed statement he makes. ; ... Be WISE' and buy the nationally advertised commodity from the local advertising merchant and leave it to the foolish to buy at Bagdad.—By Rickard Lloyd Jonct. STEEB FEEDING. successful.

HOMEY PHILOSOPHY O �Life From The Side Lines Sr MICHAEL SULLIVAN This is the usual cheery salutation on New Years and it no doubt expresses the speaker’s kindly feel­ ing—but I wonder if it is not often spoken with lit­ tle thought of personal responsibility, without con­ sidering to what extent we are responsible for the happiness of our fellows, and if we fully realize that WE have much to do with convincing them we are sincere when we wished them a Happy New/Year. These are unusual times. Humanity is living amid turmoil, uncertainty and little restraint, with small regard for law and order. It becomes necessary, therefore, that we indulge in self-examination, an^ resolve that , better citizenship in the largest sense shall be cur aim for 1923; to use our influence for the observance of higher moral standards and in­ creased respect for common decency; to study self control, and honest thinking and acting. From a business standpoint I thank my customers for the increased trade of 1922, and pledge them my untiring efforts for their happiness and prosperity through 1923. f By Fike — map LADIES?

They had admitted that when their money was gone. So Della and her mother had moved back to the cottdge again, nnd Della had taken a position a singing and music teacher In a school. Then there was Jim Thorneycroft, who wanted to marry Della. She liked him well enough, quite as much as many girls like their prospective hus­ bands, but not as much as she wanted to like him. At any rate, not as much as she wanted to love tbe man she “I married. And—Jim held the mort­ gage on the cottage. He had given them time—they could not say Jim had treated them unfair­ ly. He had also given Della time to make up her mind about marrying him. He had a fine business, and if she did, why, there was an end to the domestic problem. "If you feel you ^can’t marry Jim, my dear, I wouldn’t'ask you to," her mother said. ’’Only,’* she added wlstfuHy, "we've lived here so long, haven’t we, and it’s a home for us." •Til never marry Jim," said Della with determination. Besides, there was Dick Ilaselfleid, who hadn’t a penny, and could hardly support himself on his own meager salary. Della liked Dick a good deal lietter than Jim. And Jim was coming the following night about the mortgage—and about Della. Della stood looking at the idol. It had sat on the mantel for a whole month. Its'sardonic leer seemed to embrace the house and both its occu­ pants. Delia hated it. What was it for? How could any­ one have thought it possible that any god would manifest himself under such a grotesque shape as that? Delia took the thing down. It was almost too heavy u> move.

Unless she could see some way of Free from Federal Income Tax of 4% meeting the mortgage there would be nothing to do but marry him. Many girls did that, and were thought no of. She cou’d grow fond of him. But Dick—dear Dick, with the frank blue eyes full of ardor when he looked at her! She wax alone in the room. At any moment the ring of the doorbell might announce Jim. The position wae grow­ ing intolerable. And there was that hateful, grinning thing on the mantel, leering at her. She couldn't stand it.

The most important feature of ths tuberculosis-eradication movement con­ tinues to be the cleaning up of definite areas, principally counties, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

That’s fcj of Life HOUGH every day is a new be­ ginning.'and so far as our person­ al experience is concerned a -new year” may start any time, there Is •omethlng about the ending of Decem­ ber and tbe first week or so of Janu­ ary that makes even tbe careless thoughtful. The passing year has brought both joy and sorrow—what may not the next have In store? Where shall we be when the New Year bells fall on our ears again? Who will be with us? Shall we be ill or well? Disquieting questions that disturb our mse and make us inclined to fear* We have blundered sorely, it may be. In the old year: some of its pages are blurred with regret, or the sombre (tains of remorse. And no matter what happiness may have been ours, there Is always something we did or left undone which saddens us as we remember. Shall we make the same nlstakes once more, leave the same Hotted record? Our hearts grow chill, •nd we turn away, disheartened on the New Year's threshold. This is quite the wrong spirit in which to face tbe battle that lies be­ fore us. It is right that we should look back to see where we failed, and tow. But this once recognized, with rar plea for forgiveness—a plea that rill never be refused if we are truly lorry—we must lift up our hearts •gain and set out to slay our enemies. They are within us, not without. In­ dde our citadel dwells that evil tem­ per. that pride, that indolence, that peed or envy which tempts us to de­ tert'our colors—to think that the fight ,b hopeless. Each of us has his own tpednl temptation, and. once we real­ ize the form ours takes, tbe way lies Urolght before ua. It's the fashion to smile at New Year resolutions, so often made only to be broken; but they are a definite help if we make them firmly Intending to keep them! They will only weaken os if we throw^hem to a troublesome ’tonscience merely as a sop—something to keep it quiet for tbe time, until it goes to sleep again. Providing that they be sufficiently elastic to charge rules fence in duties that might be neglected and keep them In the forefront of our minds. But to multi­ ply rules is a big mistake, for there is one which, faithfully kept, will make us both blessing and blessed. The Rule of Love. Just loving our neighbor ns we love ourselves; serving him, trusting him. hoping for him. Refraining even under grave provoca­ tion from saying what would sting if he said it to us; forgiving him as we would be forgiven; considering him as we would be considered; helping him when he needs it with the thoughtful delicacy which makes help acceptable instead of humbling; respecting his weakness, his prejudice, his Infirmity; laughing with him instead of at him; and. should there come a time when sincerity demands, we should say what we know wlll not please him. taking care to blend truth with charity. Ail the “little""rules we make for ourselves come into line with this one. The Rule of Order—oh, how many New Years have we not begun with the resolution that we would not leave our things about, nttr lose them, nor hide them away! For we cannot be untidy all to ourselves any more than we can be ill tempered and not spoil someone else’s pleasure; and nothing Is more upsetting to already wearied brains than the fuss ?nd worry of hunting for things which should be ready to hand. The Rule of Punctil­ iousness In little things, that famous “oiler of the wheels of life.” will make us both polite, nnd punctual, ns we must be If we woald be pleasant to work with (Judging other people’s preferences by our own!) The Rule of Getting-Up-In-Time (this almost deserves all capitals I) means, If kept, a great deal more than our own con­ veniences, since everything we do or leave undone is bound to react on our. neighbors. And even If we often fall to keep, even fitfully, the golden rule which enjoins us to love them as ourselves, every effort we make in this direction brings Its own reward, here and now. As we grow into tbe habit of thinking of people kindly we cease to be an­ noyed at their peculiarities, and create, an atmosphere of good feeling In which they cease to be annoyed at ours. We must always remember that the bearing and forbearing is not needed on our side alone--as Thomas a Kempls arid long ago, when we find our neighbor difficult to put up with, we may be sure that he finds It equally difficult to put up with us. There will always be need for self-control and patience; but when we reckon up gain end loss on the eve of'19Z3. in the measure we have kept the Rule of Love, so one will outweigh the other. “We turn and look upon the valley of the past year.” says %Stopford Brooke. “There below are the spots stained by our evil and our fear. But as we look a glow of sunlight breaks upon the past, and in the sunshine Is a soft rain failing from heaven. It washes away the stain, and from tho purity of the upper sky a voice seems to descend and enter our sobered hearts. 'My child, go forward, abiding In faith, hope, and love, for lo, I am with you alway* . . .” May the New Year bring us all near each other as children of the same dear Father.—Exchange. NEW YEAR DEMANDS OUR BEST. When people calmly talk over their troubles there are few of them that cannot -be adjusted satisfactorily. It's this suspicion and lutte that block progress. Let men learn the real na­ ture of their fellows and there will be a change in their attitude toward them. There’s enough good tn every man to change the nature of tiie world. Let's get busy and dig up the noble sentiments and hopes that are buriad beneath years of unfair thinking ind cheap theories of living- The New Tear demands the best we can pro ried on in Steuben county. New York. During n period of 19 days there were tested, by veterinarians. 4,615 lots con­ taining mord than 45,000 head of cat­ tle. The disease was found on 486 furnis, and 1,574 reactors were re­ moved. The total cost of the campaign In the county was $10.800—about 23.5 cents a head for all animals tested. Ninety-eight per cent of the herd were tested In tiie drive, and the few "con­ scientious objectors” remaining have decided -to have their cattle tested. The great success of tbe work in this county was due in large measure to the whole-hearted co-operation given by the live stock owners, the Farm bureau, railroad live stock agents, women's clubs, the Dairymen's .league, breeders' organizations, county com­ missioners, “chambers of commerce, and other organizations. REDUCING COST OF TESTING Area Plan of Tuberculosis Eradication Has Lowered Expenses Quite Considerably. As a result of the area plan of tu­ berculosis eradication, says the United States I^epartment of Agriculture, tbe cost of testing has been reduced.

ENFORCE ROADSIDE TREE LAW It is unlawful to cut or injure trees or shrubs within the limits of public highways without a permit from the authorities having Juris­ diction over such roads. State High­ way Commissioner Frank F. Rbgers, states that the law will be strictly enforced on state trunk lines and federal aided roads, over which the State Highway Commissioner has Jurisdiction in co-operation with the boards of county road commissioners. Any person, including the owner of the abutting land, who destroys trees or shrubs in the highway without a permit from the highway authori­ ties is guilty of a misdemeanor, un­ der this law, and Is liable to a fine or imprisonment or both. If such person has not obtained the consent of the abutting property owner, la addition to a permit from the high­ way authorities, he is liable to the abutting property owner for damages. The great majority of' abutting property owners along the highways, as well as the general public, are in­ terested in having the roadsides at­ tractive and thousands of trees have been planted and protected by 'and owners, by public spirited associa­ tions, and by the highway authori­ ties for this purpose. There have been -some violations of the law however, by land owners cutting trees along their frontage but Com­ missioner Rogers states that most of such violations have been due to ignorance of the law on the part of alien tenants or owners who are prone to cut the nearest trees when they need fire-wood, without any con­ sideration for the beauty of such trees. From the thousands of communi­ cations he has received on the sub­ ject, Commissioner Rogers feels that the people of the state in general want the roadside trees protected. The public wants the trees to make the highways attractive and to make travel more comfortable, while to the farmer, the trees are a benefit for their food products, for wind breaks ajid above all, for their protection to the birds that destroy their insect enemies. There is a widespread de­ mand for the planting of roadside trees and the State Highway Depart­ ment is planning this work'in such a way as to be a benefit to the abut­ ting lands as well as an added at­ traction to the highways. However, where there are sufficient trees of the proper varieties now growing there is no necessity to plant others and a great deal of money can be saved to the people of the stat* by proper protection of the existing roadside trees, both large and small. It is recognized by the Highway Department that in some places it would be a benefit to remove cer­ tain roadside trees on account . of their being too close together, dis­ eased or of unsuitable varieties and this would be taken into considera­ tion when permits are applied for. However, Commissioner Rogers states that in all cases where’It is de­ sired to cut roadside trees, applica­ tion for a permit must be made to the proper highway authorities. On state trunk lines and federal aided roads, such application should be made to the State Highway Commis­ sioner; on county roads to the Board of County Road Commissioners and in township roads to the township authorities. Mr. and Mrs. John Gdbdemoote, to Dundee, Mich. November 26, 1867, she was unit­ ed in marriage to F. W. Knoll, and in 1892, they came to Nashville, where she resided until the time of her death, which occurred January 2, 1923, at the age of 78 years, 10 months and 25 days. Her husband preceded her to the better world on January 29, 1911. To thia union were bbrn four chil­ dren. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Lura C. Noyes, three sons, Francis Roy, Merrill S., and Verdon S.; seven grandchildren, 3 sisters, 5 brothers and many relatives and .friends to mourn their loss. In early life she embraced Christianity and ever since has endeavored to be loyal to her master and was ready when called. She was a faithful wife and a kind and loving mbther, always ready and willing to do her best. Her unselfishness and her will­ ingness at all times to render service to neighbors and friends, was a rare and beautiful thing in this world of selfish striving. Her Christianity was of that vital kind that made her daily life a benediction to all around her, and her devotion and love as wife and mother will always be remembered by those who came in touch with her. Rev. E. E. Branch of Ionia con­ ducted the services Friday afternoon, January 5, at the home of her son, Verdon S. Knoll, after which she wes laid to rest In Lakeview cemetery. Those from away who attended the funeral were: M. W- Knoll, Geo. Goodemoole, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Leak, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Rodgers, of Sebewa, Russell ’Goodemoote, Mrs. Geo.

Eaton had sensed already what the nature of the message must be, though as the conductor held it out to him he could read only his name at the top of the sheet and did not know yet what the actual wording was below. Acceptance of it must mean arrest, indictment for the crime against Basil Santolne; and that, whether or not he later was ac­ quitted, must destroy him; but denial of the message now would be hope"It Is yours. Isn’t It?" Connery urged. "Yea; it’s mine," Eaton admitted; and to make his acceptance definite, he took the paper from Counery. As he looked dully down at IL be read: “He I* on your train under the name of Dorne." The message was not signed. Connery touched him on the shoul­ der. “Come with me, Mr. Eaton.” Eaton got up slowly and mechan­ ically and followed the conductor. At the door he halted and looked back; Harriet Santolne was not looking; her face was covered with her bauds; Eaton hesitated; then be went on. Connery threw open the door of the compartment next to the washroom and corresponding to the drawing room at the other end of the car, but smaller. "Ton’ll do well enough in here." He dosed the door upon Eaton and locked IL As Eaton stood staring at the floor, he could hear through tbe metal partition of the washroom the nervous, almost hysterical weeping of an overstrained girl. The thing was done; In so far as the authorities on the train were concerned, it was known that he was the man who had had the appointment with Gabriel Warden and had disappeared; and in so far as the train officials could acL he was accused and confined for tbe attack upon Basil Santolne. But be­ sides being overwhelmed with the hor­ ror of this position, tbe manner in which he bd been accused bad roused him to helpless anger, to rage ft his accusers which still increased as he beard the sounds on the other side of the partition, where Avery was now trying to silence Harriet Santoine and lead her away. HAPTER IX Th* Blind Man** At noon Connery came to his door, and behind Connery, Eaton saw Har­ riet Santolne and Avery. Eaton jumped up, and as he saw the glrl’i pale face, the color left his own. “Miss Santolne has asked to speak to you." Connery announced; and he admitted Harriet Santolne and Avery, and himself remaining outside in tbe aisle, closed the door upon them. “How is your father?" Eaton asked the girt. I can’t see any change, Mr. Eaton." “Can Doctor Sinclair see any differ­ ence?" Eaton asked. "Doctor Sinclair will not commit tie can tell, tbe indications are favor­ able. He »ee<n* to think—" The girl “Be has a chance, then, nowr "Yea; but we don’t know how much. I—I wanted you to know. Mr. Eaton, that 1 recognize-2-that the chance Fa­ ther may have camp through you. and that I am trying to think of you as the one who gave him the chance.". Tbe warm blood flooded Eaton's face, and he bowed his head. She, then, was not wholly hostile to him; she had not been completely con­ vinced by Avery. Her eyes rested upon Eaton stead­ ily; and while he had been appealing to her, a flush had come to her cheeks and faded away and come again and again with her Impulses as be spoke. “If you didn't do IL why don't you help qsr she cried. ' “Help your you are doing? Why did you take the train because Father was on It, If you didn't mean any harm to him? Why don’t you-tell us where you are going or where you have been or what you have been doing? Why can’t you give the name of anybody you know or tell us of anyone who knows about you?" “I might ask you tn return," Eaton said, “why you thought it worth while. Miss Santoine, to ask so much about myself when you first met me and before any of this had happened? Why were you* curious about me?” “My father asked me to find out about you." "Why?" Harriet had reddened under Eaton's gaze. "You understand, Mr, Baton, it was—was entirely Impersonal with me. My father, being blind. Is obliged to use the eyes of others—mine, for one; and he has Mr. Avery. He calls us his eyes, sometimes; and It was only—only because I bad been com­ missioned to find out about you that I was obliged to show so much curiosity." Harriet arose, and Eaton got up as she did and stood as she went toward the door. Avery had reached the door, hold­ ing It open for her to go out Sudden­ ly Eaton tore the handle from Avery’s grasp, slammed the door shut upon him and braced bls foot against 1L “Miss Santolne." be pleaded, his voice hoarse with his emotion, "for God’s sake, make them think what they are doing before they make a public accusation against me—before they charge me with this to others not od this train I It will not be merely accusation they make against me—It will be'my sentence! I shall be sentenced before I am tried—con­ demned without a chance to defend myself! That is the reason I could not come forward after the murder of Mr. Warden. I could not have helped him—or aided in the pursuit of his enemies—if I had appeared; 1 merely would have been destroyed myself! The only thing I could hope to accomplish has been In following my present course—which, I swear to you, has no connection with the attack upon your father. What Mr. Avery and Connery are planning to do to me, they cannot undo. They will merely complete the outrage and Injustice already done me—of which Mr. Warden spoke to his wife—and they will not help your father. For God’s sake, keep them from going furtherJ" Her color deepened, and for. an In­ stant he thought bo saw full brilaf to him growing In her eyes; but tf she The following morning the relieving snowplows arrived from the East, and Eaton felt It was the beginning of the end for him. He watched from his window men struggling in the snow about tbe forward end of Lhe 'train; then the train moved forward past the shoveled and trampled snow where rock and pieces of the snowplow were piled heeldc the track—stopped, waited; finally It went on again and began to take op Its steady progress. The attack upon Santolne haring taken place In Montana, Eaton thought that he would be turned over to the police somewhere within that state, and he expected It would be dune at the first stop; but when the train slowed at Simona, he saw the town was nothing more than a little hamlet beside a side-track. They surely could not deliver him to the village authorities here. It made no material difference to him, Eaton realised, whether tbe po­ lice took him in Montana or OhV cago, since in cither case recogni­ tion of him would be certain In the end; but In Chicago this recognition must be Immediate, complete, and ut­ terly convincing. The train was traveling steadily and taster than Its regular schedule; It evidently was running as a special, sotne other train taking the ordinary traffic; It halted now only at the largest cities. In the morning It crossed Intb Minnesota; and in the late afternoon, slowing. It rolled Into some large city which Eaton knew must be Minneapolis or St. Paul. The car here was uncoupled from the train and picked up by a switch engine; as dusk fell, Eaton, peering out of his window, could see that they had been left lying tn the railrood yards; and abqut midnight, awakening In his berth, he realized that tbe car was still motionless. He could account for this stoppage In their progress only by some change tn the condition of Santolne. Was Santolne sinking, so that they no longer dared to travel? Was he, perhaps—dead? No sounds came to him from the car to confirm Eaton in any con­ clusion; there was nothing to be learned from anyone outside tbe car. Eaton lay for a long time, listening for other sounds and wondering what was occurring—or had occurred—at tbe other end of his car. Toward morning he fell asleep. CHAPTER X Publicity Net Wanted. "Basil Santolne dying! Blind mlllionalre lawyer taken III on train !** The alarm of the cry came to answer Eaton's question early tbe next morning He threw up the curtain and saw a vagrant newsboy, evidently passing through tbe railroad yards to sell to the trainmen. Eaton, hail­ ing the boy put out his hand for a paper.- He spread the news-sheet be­ fore him and rend that Santolne’s con­ dition was very low and becoming rapidly worse. But below, under a Montana'date-line, Eaton saw It pro­ claimed that the blind millionaire was merely sick; there was no suggestion anywhere of an attack. The paper stated only that Basil Santolne, re­ turning from Seattle with his daugh­ ter and his secretary, Donald Avery, bad been taken seriously ill upon a train which-had been stalled for two days in the snow in Montana. Tbe column ended with the statement that Mr. Santolne had passed through Minneapolis and gone on to Chicago under care of Dr. Douglas Sinclair. Eaton stared at the newspaper with­ out reading, after be saw that. He had not realized, until now that be was told that Harriet Santolne had gone—for if her father had gone on, of course she was with him—the ex­ tent to which he had felt her fair­ ness, almost her friendship to him. At leaff, he knew now that, since she had spoken to him after he was first ac­ cused of the attack on her father, he bad not felt entirely deserted or friendless till now. But why. If Santolne bad beentaken away, or was dead or dying, had they left Eaton all night In tbe car in the yard*? Since Santolne was dying, would there be any longer an object In concealing the fact that he tad been murdered? He dressed and then paced back and forth tbe two or three steps his compartment allowed him. He slopped now and then to listen; from outside came the noises of tbe yard; but he made out no sound within the car. If It had been occupied as on the day* previous, he must have heart: some one corning to tbe wakhroum at his end. Was he alone in tbe car now, or had lhe customary moving about taken place before be awoke? Finally, to free himself from hi* nervous listening for sounds which Ing. with lips tight closed, he heard for tiie first time that morning foot­ steps at trfs^end of the car. The door of ill* compartment was un­ locked and opened, and he raw Doc­ tor Sinclair. “Mr. Santolne wants to speak to you." the- surgeon announced quietly. This startling negation of all h* Imagined. unnerved Eaton, He started up. then sank back fur ter composure. “Mr. Santolne Is here, then?" "Here? Of course lie's here?"

"The papers print what they can get and in toe way which seems most effective to them," was his only comment The surgeon led Eainn to the door of the drawing room, showed him in and left him.

Something There are 31 cities In the state of New York organized for the “Better­ Homes" campaign. A nation-wide or­ ganization has been perfected to bring the better-homes Idea to the largest number of American women. There are 20,000,000 women in America whose work Iles in their homes. It Is to help these women that this cam­ paign is being carried on. It la the ambition of those backing the cam­ paign to make every new home built in the next few years all that the house most be If It Is to be . worthy the name “home," and to bring about the remodeling of every old house that Is ugly, uncomfortable or inconveni­ ent to live in. Less than 50 per cent of the Amer­ ican people are home owners and it has been claimed that only 20 per cent of these dwellings come up to the recognized standards for a good home. There has never been so great an in­ terest in the building of new dwellings and improvement of bouses already built us shown by’the records of this Wanted, a Million Home*. "We are short about a million homes," declared Herbert Hoover in a recent speech. “In cltle such a shortage implies the challenge of congestion. It means that in practi­ cally every American city of more than 200,000, from 20 to 30 per cent of the population Is adversely affected, and that thousands of families are forced Into unsanitary' and dangerous quar­ ters. The condition, in turn, means a large increase In rents, a throw-back In human efficiency and that unrest which inevitably results from inhibi­ tion of tbe primal Instincts in us all for home ownership. It makes for no­ mads and, vagrants. In rural areas It means aggravation and Increase, of farm tenantry on one hand, an in­ landlordism on the other band, and general disturbance to the prosperity and contentment of rural life." Future American Homes. The trouble with Americans is that they do not stay long enough in one place to make their homes as beauti­ ful ns the colonial homes with the softening effect of age ujkjd them, and tbe homes of Europe. To be sure we have better plumbing and better ven- ' tilstion, but most of our homes are garishly new. But who knows what may happen If the “Better Homes” movement goes on? We may have lioaies that our grandchildren will look forward to as their rightful inherit* ance with pleasure. At any rate, tbe present generation and the children of today will enjoy these better homes that have been carefully planned for them.

The Fann Bloc. ’Congressman Julius Kahn of California says he is sick of the farm bloc and of Middle Western farmers. They are always asking for something for themselves, he says. He might have added that while farmers do the asking the oth­ er fellow does the getting. During the past year, with the farm bloc in the height of Its glory, the tariff bloc came along and rob­ bed farmers of several times -what the farm bloc had gained for them. Careful estimates indicate that the net loss to farmers from the new tariff will be about 1275,000,000 a year. Farmers are selfish, says Kahn, and think only of their own Inter­ ests. What about the tariff barons’ They will never wear a halo because of their altruism. Kahn, however, Is of the "special privilege” type of mind which thinks a robber tariff bill is statesmanship and farm bill class legislation. One would think that the tidal wave which swept so many standpat­ ters out of office November 7, would have some effect on the others, but like the Bourbons of France, they never learn anything and never for­ get anything. In the meantime the farm bloc Is growing in power every day in spite of the abuse that is heaped upon it. If it can develop constructive leader­ ship that will learn how to use that power for 'the real advancement of agriculture. It can be a great force for good. But if the farm bloc la traded off its feet a few times more as it was in the tariff hone trading bee, farmers will regard it as anoth­ er hope gone wrong.” Reprinted by The News by permission of The Prairie .Farmer. 02857118 Famous Makes of Pianos Pianos at $150, $225, $300 and $350 Player Pianos at $450, $600 and up CASH OR TERMS Demonstrations every evening next week at the Kunz Store in Nashville High grade Phonographs priced from $25 to $300 And your old instruments taken in exchange at fair values.

The tendency of the times is towards better conditions for business, also for farm produce. Factories are starting up with a full number of men employed, demanding more food, clothes, shoes, etc., and all this harks back J® the farm for supply and must result in increased prices for farm produce. This suggests increased acreage to meet this de­ mand. This in turn demands good tools. The pros­ pects are for slightly advanced prices in this line, but to protect my customers I am now making con­ tracts for 1923 tools so as to handle them at the present prices. This conditiori is also true as to g automobiles confiscated from tetleggers at public auction here Tuesday, waxed poetic: This roadster’s . two years old, three in spring, But a dern good buggy for the shape she's in.

I appreciate fully the splendid trade given me through the year past, notwithstanding the ever changing market prices and the still larger trade which I hope to receive during this year will enable me to do still better by customers. Therefore, be­ fore making any purchases please permit me to dem­ onstrate this fact—the goods will be the very best the market offers and the price, based on a large business, will be the lowest.

When six months old. the bull calf should be separated from the heifer calves and fed a ration that will keep him growing rapidly. At this age from four to eight pounds of grain dally, depending on his size, is the amount recommended by dairy spe­ cialists of the New Jersey State Agricultural college. Most dairymen prefer to feed bulls the same grain ration that is fed to the other growing stock.

TDE ASSURED that you will some-LJ times be wronged; often hated. Unless you have far more luck than most men, others will Injure you, and despltefully use you. The more successful you are, the more you will suffer from the dislike and the envy of others. * But If you resent every Injury and, nurse every spite, you will have little time for anything else. Revenge may be sweet, but It Is Coo expensive to be indulged. The man who maizes up his mind to “get even" with every one who has harmed or insulted him maps out a difficult life for himself. Hatred is a passion which destroys the judgment as well as the soul. And judgment Is too difficult to acquire to be frittered away In fruitless brawls. Learn to forget injuries and grievancea, They will harm you but little if you dismiss them from your mind. If you cherish their memory and brood over them they will harm you even more than the enemy who Inflicted DAIRY FACTS them ever believed it possible to harm you? Give men no reason to injure you. Then, if they Insist upon doing so. de­ prive them of any satisfaction in tbe injury by not allowing it to trouble you. Peace of mind and serenity of spirit ore worth a great deal In this world. Go about with a chip on your shoulder and before very long some­ one will knock it off. And your at­ tention will be distracted from what­ ever you are doing by your effort to punish him for IL But when you are wantonly insulted, or when your feelings are hurt re­ member that the person who offers tbe affront is not worth hating. Do not flatter him by nursing your wrath against him. Irritations disturb the smooth work­ ing of your brain and cut into your sleep. Forget them and you will be happier and better able to attend to your own Job, which Is getting ail out of your brain that was put there by Its Creator. MEN YOU MAY MARRY f Kitchen ATHl DEDkM.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST NEWSPAPER^ A BIG REDUCTION IN SUBSCRIPTION RATES For the ‘Benefit of Readers Receiving The Tribune By SMail Therefore, without waiting further for Congress to act, The Tribune announces a reduction in sub­ scription rates ranging from % to %. This cut in rates will cost The Tribune approximately $200,000.00 each year, but The Tribune will pay the bill in the interest of its many country readers. HE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, realizing that its phenomenal success is due in a large measure to the fact that for seventy-five years it has numbered among its readers a large proportion of tne residents of farms and small cities who receive The Tribune by mail, announces for their benefit a big reduction in subscrip­ tion rates effective January 15th, 1923. New subscriptions to The Chicago Daily Tribune, starting on and after January 15th, 1923, will be accepted at the following rates: THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE I By Mail, Six Dav* a Wedc] The reduction ranges from i/3 to y2* below former rates F.rioJ 1 Month 3 Month*.. 6 Month*-. 12 Month*.. In 1917, as a war measure. Congress passed a bill providing for four annual raises in Postal Rates for newspaper subscriptions. As The Tribune had, for many years before, sold its paper to out-of-town readers at less than cost, it felt compelled to add a por­ tion of these postage increases to its subscription rates. For the past three years The Chicago Tribune has been leading the fight to obtain a reduction in second-class postage rates so that it could reduce to Se-war prices its subscription rates to residents of ms and small cities. • . .50 1.25 2.50 5.00 | It you wish to receive The Chicago Daily Tribune —with its many wonderful, features—regularly, take advantage of these new, low rates now. Mail subscrip­ tion coupon below. Note that $2.50 will now bring you Tbe Chicago Daily Tribune by mail for six months, or $5.00 for a whole year. At the present Postal Rates it costs The Tribune from $3.20 to $6.79 a year for Postage alone to send the paper to each subscriber in the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. In many instances this is more than The Tribune’s entire subscription price—without considering the cost of the product For tbe benefit of its country readers The Tribune will continue its fight for fairer postage rates. Muiy of our farmer friend, have stated that it required from 10 to 12 bushels of corn to psy for a year’s subscription to Tbe Chicago Daily Tribune. The Tribune is anxious to remedy that fact. / SUBSCRIPTION COUPON /• / MAIL AT ONCE! >A/ If you prefer to do so, you may turn *ub»cnptloo NnaKata $1.00 2S0 3.75. 7.50. The Chicago DailyTribune today enjoys the largest circulation in its history and the largest morning circu­ lation in America—averagingoverSJO,000 copiadaih. It will readily be seen, therefore, that the reduction is not made primarily to secure more circulation. . Although every one of the other ten taxes estab­ lished by the war revenue act of 1917 has been reduced, Congress has not seen fit as yet to reduce the tax on second-class postage.

Harriet Santoine, after giving a direction to a man who apparently was a chauffeur, got into the ambulance with her father. The surgeon and the nurses rode with them. They drove off. Avery entered another automobile, which swiftly dltappeared. Conductor Cannery came for the last time to baton’s door. “Mias Santoine says you're to go with the man she's left here for you." The porter appeared with his over­ coat and hat.

Conncry extended hia hand—“Good-by, air." » “Good-by.” The motor-car drove down a wide, winding road with tall, spreading trees on both sides. The man In the car with Eaton, whose duty plainly wa< only that of a guard, did not speak to Eaton nor Eaton to him. The motor passed other limousines occasionally; then, though the road was still wide and smooth and still bounded by great trees, it was lonelier; no houses ap­ peared for.half a mile; then lights glowed directly ahead; the car ran un­ der the porte-cochere of a great stone country mansion; a servant sprang to the door of the limousine and opened it; another man seized Eaton's hand-bag­ gage from beside the chauffeur. Eaton entered a large, beamed and paneled hallway with an immense fireplace with logs burning in It; there was a wide stairway which the servant, who had appointed himself Eaton’s guide, ascended. Eaton followed him and found anotiter great hall upstairs. The servant led him to one of the doors opening .off this and* into a large room, fitted for a man’s occupancy, -with dark furniture, cases containing books on hunting, sports and adventure, and smoking things; off thia 'was a dress­ ing room with the bath next; beyond was a bedroom. “These are to be your rooms, sir.” the senant said. A valet appeared and unpacked Eaton's traveling bag. Eaton went to bod, but amazement wonld not let him sleep. He wns in Santoine's house; he knew it could be no other than Santolne’s house. It was to get Into San­ toine's nouse that he had come from Asia; he had thought and planned and . schemed all through the long voyage on the stenmer how It was to he done. He would have been willing to jross the continent on foot to accomplish it; no labor that be could imagine would have seemed top great to him if this bad been its end; and here It had been done without effort on his part, naturally. Inevitably! Chance and circumstance had done Itl And ns he realized this, his mind was full of what he had to do In San­ toine's house. For many days he had not thought about that; It had seemed impossible that he could have any op­ portunity to act for himself. And the return to bis thoughts of pos­ sibility of carrying out his original plan brought before hint thoughts of his friends—those friends who through bls exile, had been faithful to him but whose Identity or existence he had been obliged to deny, when questioned, to protect them as well as himself. As he lay on his bed in the dark, he stared upward to the celling, wide awake, thinking of those friends whose devotion to him might be Justified at While she spoke, the blood, rising with her embarrassment, had dyed Harriet's face; suddenly ' now she looked away from him and out the window. “He would be called, I judge, a rather likable-looking man?” Santoine Baid tentatively; hia question plainly was only meant to lead up to some­ thing else; Santoine bad judged in that particular already. “Mr. Eaton”—Santoine addressed him. suddenly—“I understand that you have adhiltted that you were at the bouse of Gabriel Warden the eve­ ning be was killed while in his car. Is that bo?” “Yes,” said Eaton. "You are the man, then, of whom Gabriel Warden spoke to his wife?” “I bellc*e so.” ' “You believe so?" “I mean,” Eaton explained quietly, “that I came- by appointment to call on Mr. Warden that night. I believe that ft must have been to me thut Mr. Wardeft referred in the conversation with his wife «[hlch has since been quoted in the newspapers.” “because you were in such a situa­ tion that, if Mr. Warden defended you, he "would himself meet danger?’’ “I did not say that,” Eaton denied guardedly. "What, then, was your position In regard to Mr. Warden?” Eaton remained silent. “You refuse to jmswerf Santoine inquired. “I refuse.” "In spite of the probability that Mr. Warden met bls death because of his intention to undertake some­ thing for you?” “1 have not been able to fix that as a probability.” “Mr. Eaton, have I ever Injured you personally—I don't mean directly, as man to man, for I should remember that; have I ever done anything w*tlch indirectly has worked injury on you or your affairs T’ “No,” Eaton answered. •Who sent you aboard thia train T' “Sent me? No one.” “You took the train of your own will because I was taking It?” “I have not said I took it because you were taking it.” “That seems to be proved. You can accept it from me; It has been proved. Did you take the train in order to attack m$?” "No.” "To spy upor me?” “No." Santoine waa silent for an instant “What waa It you took the train to tell me?” “I? Nothing." "That Is all, Mr. Eaton." Eaton started back to hia compart­ ment As he turned, Harriet Santoine looked up at him and their eyes met; and her look confirmed to him wpat be had felt before—that her father, now taking control of the Investigation of the attack upon himself, was not con­ tinuing it with prejudice or predis­ posed desire to damage Eaton, ex­ cept as the evidence accused him. And her manner now told, even more plainly than Santolne'a, that the blind roan had viewed the evidence as far from conclusive against Eaton and as Harriet showed that she was glad of that, Eaton realized bow r.Iie must have taken his side against Avery lo reporting to her father.

The first gray of da wr^ roused Eaton, and drawing on trousers and coat over his pajamas, be seated himself by the open window to see the house by daylight As It grew lighter, be could see It was an immense struc­ ture of smooth gray stone. Eaton was in Its central part, his windows look­ ing to the south. As he watched, one of the two nurses who had been on the train came to a window of the farthest room on the second floor of the south wing and stood looking out; that then, must be Santoine's room; and Eaton drew back from his window as be noted this. The sud had risen, and its beams, reflected up from the lake, danced on his celfiog. Eaton, ehilled by the sharp air off the water—and knowing now the locality where he must be— pulled off his coat and trousers and Jumped back Into bed. He realized that circumstances had given him time for anythin! he might wish to do; for the night’s stop at Minneapolis and Santoine's unexpected taking him into bls own charge must have made Eaton's disappearance complete; for the present he was lost to “them” who hadteen “following” him. and to his friends alike. His task, then* waM to let bis friends know where he was without letting "them” learn it; and thinking of how this was to be done, be fell asleep again. At nine he awoke with. a. start; then, recollecting everything, he Jumped up and shut his windows. There was a respectful, apologetic knock at the door; evidently a servant had been waiting In the hall fur some sound within the room. “May I come in. sir?” “Come In.” The man who had attended him the evening before entered. “Your bath, sir; hot or cold in the. morning, sir?” “Hot," Eaton answered. “Of course, sir; I’d forgotten you'd Just come from the Orient, sir. J ahull tell them to bring breakfast up. sir; or will you go down?" the man asked. Eaton considered. The manners of servants are* modeled on the feelings of their masters, and the man's defer­ ence told plainly that, although Eaton might be a prisoner, he was not to be treated openly as such. “I think I can go down.” Eaton re­ plied. He found the hall and the rooms below bright and open but un‘occupled; a servant showed him to a blue Delft breakfast room to the east. He had half finished his bacon and greens before anyone else appenred. Tills was a tall, carefully dressed man of more than fifty, with hand­ some, well-bred features—plainly a man of position and wealth but with­ out experience In affairs, and with­ out power. He was dark haired aiyl wore a mustache which, like his hair, was beginning to gray. As he ajs peered in the hall without hat or over­ coat. Eaton undenrtcod that he lived in the house; hq came directly into the breakfast room and evidently had not breakfasted. “I am Wallace' Blatchford, ” l^Hthe stranger volunteered as Eaton looked up. He gave the name in a manner which seemed to assume that he now must be recalled; Eaton therefore feigned recognition as be gave him his name in return. “Basil Santoine is better this morn­ ing." Blatchford announced. “I understood he was very comfort able laat evening.” Eaton said. ”1 have not seen either Miss Santoine or Mr. Avery, this morning.” “I saw Basil Santoine the last thing last night,” the other boasted. “He was very tired; but when he was home, of course he wished m* to be beside him for a time." ’ “Of eourse." Eaton replied, as the other halted. There was a humility Id the boast of this man's friendship for Santoine which stirred sympathy, almost pity. Eaton finished bls breakfast but re­ mained at the table while Blatchford. who scarcely touched hia food, con­ tinued to boast, in his queer humility, of the blind man and toe blind man's friendship for him. He checked himself only when Harriet Santoine appeared in the doorway. He and Eaton at once were on their feet. “Ify dear! He wants to see me now?” the tail man almost pleaded. “He wants me to be with him this morning?” “Of course. Cousin Wallace,” the girl said gently, almost passion. “You will excuse me then, air. " Blatchford said hastily to Eaton and hurried off. The girt razed after him, and when she turned the next, instant to Eaton her eyes were wet. "Good morning, Mias Santoine. You are coming to breakfast?” "Oh, no; I’ve had my breakfast; I was going out to see that things out­ side the house have been going on well since w» have been away." “May I go with you while you do that?” Eatou tried to ask Casually. Important to him as was the plan of the house, it was scarcely less es­ sential for him to know the grounds. bill Hl hardly run away from you while inside your own grounds." This did not seem to be the ques­ tion troubling her. "Very well,” she raid at last. She was abstracted as they passed through the hall and a brought Eaton's overegat and and a maid her coat. Harriet led the way out to the terrace. The day was crisp, but the breeze bad lost the chill it bad had earlier In the morning: the lake was free from lee; only along the little projecting breakwatery which guarded the bluff against the washing of the waves, some Ice still dung, and thia waa rapidly matt­ ing. a graveled path led them around the south end of the bouse. Eaton saw at a little distance a powerful, strapping man, half-con­ cealed—though he did not seem to be biding—behind some bushes. The man might have passed for an under­ gardener; but he was not working; and once before during their walk Eaton had seen another man, power­ fully built as this one. who had looked keenly at him and then away quick­ ly. Harriet flushed slightly as she saw that Eaton observed the man; Eaton understood then that the man was a guard, one of several, probably, who had been put about the house to keep watch of him.

For example, many men feel aggrieved because others, doing appar­ ently the same work, are better paid. Watch them a while, and you are pretty sure to find that they are either doing more work or better, work than you are. If they are brothers or cousins of the boss, and are better paid for that reason, charge that up to human na­ ture. You are bound to run into cases of that sort. They are not grievances, but Just the ordinary facts of life which you have got to meet. If you are aggrieved because your clothes cost too much, find out if you can't get perfectly' good clothes at cheaper prices by looking somewhere else. Nine times In ten you can. And anyway. If you start a little In­ vestigation into your personal expendi­ tures you will discover tliat you are •pending, without any complaint what­ ever, extravagant amounts on things that you dp not need. There Is no denying that for most people the fight for existence is pretty tough. But It Isn't tougher for you than It Is for anybody else.

Concrete construction, either monolithic or block, is ideal because it Is permanent, vermin-proof and high­ ly sanitary. Such a structure should be located with regard to convenience, but It is better that It be separated from the stables to prevent the milk from being tainted by stable odors. A very serviceable milk bouse is a type that ran be constructed with the use of circular monolithic silo forms, similar to the one shown in the Illus­ tration. A foundation which extends two or three feet Into the ground or to the limit of frost is the first step. The Rilo forms are used just as in. making a silo, except that boards must be set in the forms to cut out portions of the wall yhich are to form door­ ways or wlridows. Heavy reinforce­ ment is not necessary, %-lnch rods 20 Inches on the center extending in both directions being amply sufficient A conical roof can also be constructed Rlmllar to the type that Is employed In silo construction. A small ventilator In the peak of the roof with a damper that can be opened or closed. Is a de sirable aid in getting a good circula­ tion of fresh air. Every milk house should be provid­ ed with a concrete cooling tank, the depth of which Is governed by the height of the cans; it is desirable to have the cans stand submerged as much as possible. Circulating water through the tank and around the cans will keep the milk cool. To lighten the labor of lifting and moving cans in and out of the tank, part of its depth -phould be below floor level, and for the same reason, the width of the tank should be limited to convenient arm's reach, which Is about that of the diameter of two cans. The remain­ der of the floor should be covered with concrete made in a single layer four Inches thick and troweled to a smooth surface that will not harbor dirt. The concrete used throughout should be of a mixture of one pert of cement to two parts of well-graded sand to four parts of pebbles or broken stone, •with the exception of the cooling tank which has a mixture to in­ sure its being watertight.

The Michigan State Farm Bureau has paid members of its 1922 wool pool in full account of the sale made in 1922 and’ has announced the'av­ erage prices received by the wool poolers. The 1922 wool pool paid the farmer an average not price of 39.14 cents a pound for the five best grades of wool and an av­ erage net price of 34 1-2 cents a pound for all 13 grades of wool in­ cluding discounts, according to the announcement from the state farm bureau office at Lansing. According to local crop reporter’s advices to V. H. Church, U. S. Crop Estimator at Lansing, the average price paid farmers for wool by lo­ cal dealers during the 1922 season was 31 1-2 cents a pound up to No­ vember 1, last. The Bureau has a number of let­ ters from its 1922 wool pool mem­ bers. F. E. Terrill of Charlotte, Eaton county farmer, said that he was offered 34 cents a pound locally when ha pfit his clip of 1,564 pounds into the Farm Bureau’s pool. The first week in December the Farm Bureau pool returned him an aver­ age ot 38.08 cents a pound for his clip, or an additional return of $63.­ 81. Farm Bureau officials declare that the direction and sales service of the 1922 pool effected considerable sav­ ings over previous pools. Prepara­ tions are well under way for the Farm Bureau’s 1923 wool pool. HELP WANTED IN NASHVILLE And Furnished by the Help of Peo­ ple. Those who suffer with kidney back­ ache, urinary ills or any little kid­ ney or bladder disorder, want kid­ ney help.

For the 16 months from Septem­ ber 1, 1921, to January 1, 1923, the following record was made by Sher­ iff Burd and his deputies in the en­ forcement of the liquor laws. Under the head of disorderlies, there were 23 arrests. The violators paid $203.20 costs and $245.00 In fines. Under the head of violation of the state's prohibition laws there were 34 cases. Of these five are still pending. Of the 29 cases disposed of the aggregate of cost paid was $273.GO and flues assessed, $2,300. This will be Increased when the five remaining cases are disposed of.

Mr. Dann has been in the practice of law since his graduation from the law department of the University ot Michigan in 1895. He was prosecut­ ing attorney of Eaton county for two terms, from 1900 to 1904, served as probate judge for eight years and for the past six years has devoted him­ self to his private practice. In the primary of 1917, he was the choice of Eaton county for circuit judge by a large majority over both Judge Smith and Elmer H. Peters, his op­ ponents, but was defeated by the splendid run made by Judge Smith in Barry county. Judge Smith not now being a candidate, Barry county will, undoubtedly, ratify the express­ ed choice of Eaton county. • 15c CHASE & SANBDHN'S □L A Yoke From the Methodist' Epiuco. >• P*1 Church.

Icata Period. Hampton Court Grapes In America. What are said to be the rarest grapes In the world are those which grow at Hampton court, the London palace of King George. The fruit is large and black and grows in great clusters. The choicest product of these vines are served upon the royal tables and the surplus goes to the London hospitals^ Visitors to the place are Even a poor cow Is too valuable to be given careless treatment at calving time. A few precautions and sugges­ tions for treating animals during this delicate period are offered by special­ ists from the dairyedepartment of the New Jersey State Agricultural college: In order to allow a cow a sufficient rest and a chance to put ou fleah before calving. It is a good practice to have her become dry about six weeks liefore freshening. This seems to be nature's way of preparing her for the labor of lactation.

If the own­ er Is able to calculate the exact day ’ on which the cow Is to calve, nothing is better as a feed than a bran mash. On calving day the cow will probably not eat much feed, but this need cause no alarm. Although It is not necessary for the attendant to be present at calving time, he should be nearby to judge whether she needs assistance or not. Immedi­ ately after freshening the cow should be offered lukewarm water and a warm bran mash. The attendant should keep close watch of the cow after she fresh­ ens to be sure that the afterbirth la not retained. Should she still retain It 24 hours after freshening, an Inexpe­ rienced man should call In a veteri­ narian. Because the vitality of the cow is lowest at calving time she must be kept away from drafts. The ration for the first few days should be light,, and If thert Is any Inflammation In the udder, It is usually a good rule to take two weeks getting her on to full feed.

If good jobs were to be had by lit­ tle effort practically everybody would have a good job. The reason that they are so few, and that so many of those few are not filled.

Shown in the accompanying Illus­ tration is a good type of hog house, or bam, which was designed by the ex­ perts at the Iowa state college. This Is known as the gable roof house. It Is a frame building set on a concrete foundation and having a concrete floor. The pens are ranged along the sides of the building. A window In the side wall admits light and sunshine to each of the pens, while a double row of roof windows on the south exposure admit tight and sunshine to the jiens on the opposite side of the building. , Sunshine has two good uses In a hog bouse and during the cold damp months of late winter and early spring, too-much of It cannot be admitted to the farrowing pens.

Insurance Money now Available for MiciUgan Development. The Prudential and Metropolitan Insurance Companies each have re­ cently released several million dol­ lars for home building in Michigan, under very favorable terms for the borrower. Flint, alone according to L. C. Batdorff, executive secretary of the Michigan Real Estate Associa­ tion needs thirty-five million for new homes while the Detroit situation is equally as acute. He says the funds will not be available if the state plans to handicap rather than to encourage these investors, and declares too many people in a discussion of this mortgage tax question lose sight of the great volume of taxable wealth built up through these financial «»xpanslon programs. "Those advoeating this theory of taxing mort­ gages," said Mr. Batdorff, “hope to reach those who have money to loan by this action. They should not lose sight of the fact that the bor­ rower always Is compelled to pay not only the determined Interest rate but also the tax and all other ex­ penses Involved in making the loan. Increasing the tax will not disturb the man toward whom the action is directed but rather it will fall with severity upon the man struggling to possess a home or farm. Assume that the borrower refuses to pay the tax. Is it not obvious that the money he seeks will go to another In­ vestment?" IT SEEMS TO WORK.

"Sticking close to the job" fitted Adolph Dause like a glove for a time Sunday afternoon. Adolph, an ac­ tive member of the Nashville fire department, was fishing at Thornap­ ple lake, and was having pretty good luck with the speckled bass. He was cosy as a bug In a rug In his right little, tight little fishing shanty, with a toy stove set up on a shelf in one corner of the shack, and he was so busy with the fishing that he failed to notice that Tils stove had set fire to his shack, which was blazing mer­ rily when noticed by another fisher­ man a little dlstanctkaway. The oth­ er fisherman ran over and told Adolph his house was on firo, but Adolph thought he was kidding and refused to get excited, or even to look up until tho visitor Insisted. Them Adolph got his minnow dipper and started dipping water from the holo in the Ice and throwing it on tho flames. Just then ho noticed that his cork had disappeared and he dropped the dipper and went after th fish, figuring that he could eat tho fish but he couldn't eat tho shack. The friend, however, was a good Samaritan and completed extinguish­ ing the firo while Adolph philosophi­ cally landed another fish and added It to tho string, just like ho would drop the nozzle at a fire and rescue a fair damsel in dlst~ess, no matter if tho darned house burned to the ground.

He refuses Infor­ mation about himself and admits he was the caller at Warden's house. Eaton pleads with Harriet Bantoine to withhold Judgment, telling her he is in serious danger, though innocent Gt the crime against her father. He feels tho girl believes him. Bantoine recov­ ers sufficiently to question Eaton, who refuses his Identity. The financier' requires Eaton to accom­ pany him to the Bantoine home as a semi-prisoner. Eaton meets a resident of the house. Wallace Blatchford. and Mildred Davis, a stenographer, with whom he Is ac­ quainted, though they conceal tho fact. Eaton's mission la to secure certain documents which are vital to his Interests. • By WiiliamMacHarg Edwin Balmer _ Eaton let himself think, Idly, about Harriet—tjow strange her life bad been—that part of it at least which was spent, as he had gathered mdst of her Making hours of recent years had been spent, with her father. Strange, almost, as bls own life! And what a wonderful girl it had made of her—clevei, sweet, lovable, with more than a woman's ordinary ca­ pacity for devotion and self-sacrifice. But If her service to her father was not only on his personal side but if also she was Intimate In his busi­ ness affairs, must she not therefore have shared the cruel code which had terrorized Eaton for the last four years and kept him an exile in Asia and which, at any hour yet. threat­ ened to take his life? A grim set came to Eaton's Ups; his mind went again to his own affairs. CHAPTER XII Th# Man From th# Train. In the supposition that he was to have less liberty. Eaton proved cor­ rect Harriet Santolne, to whose im'pulses had been due his first privi­ leges, showed toward him a more con­ strained attitude the following morn­ ing. She did not suggest hostility, an Avery constantly did; nor. Indeed, was there any evidence of retrogres­ sion In her attitude toward him; she seemed merely to be maintaining th| same position; and since this seemed difficult if they were often together, she avoided him. Eaton understood that Santolne, steadily Improving but nut yet able to leave bls bed. had taken up bis work again, propped up by pillows; one of the nurses had been dismissed; the other was only upon day duty. But Eaton did not see Santolne at all; and though he learned that Miss Davis or another CHAPTER XI—Continued. stenographer, whose name was West, —ft— came dally to the house, he never was Eaton drew further back Into the In a position again to encounter any alcove as . some one passed through outsider either coming or going. the hall aoove.

"What were you going to say?" she questioned. "That tbe person—or persons—who reads the documents to him must oc­ cupy an extremely delicate position." “He does. In fact. I think that po­ sition Is Father's one nightmare." "Nightmare?" “The person he trusts must not only be absolutely discreet but ab­ solutely honest.” “I should think so. If anyone In that position wanted to use the In­ formation brought to your father, he could make himself millions over­ night, undoubtedly, and ruin other men." “And kill Father too," the girl added quietly. "Yes," she said as Eaton looked at her. “Father puts nothing above his trust If that trust were betrayed—whether or not Father were in any way to blame for It— I think It would kill him.” "Sp you are the one who Is in that position.” “Yes; that Is. I have been." "You mean there Is another now; that is. of course. Mr. Avery?" "Yes; here at this house Mr. Avery and I, and Mr. Avery at the office.

They had been following the edge of the road, she along a path worn In the turf, be on tbe edge of the road Itself and nearer to the tracks of the motors. Suddenly she cried out and clutched st him. As they bad stopped, she had beard the sound of a motor approaching them rapidly from be­ hind. Except that this car seemed speeding faster than the others, she had paid no attention and had not turned.

She felt him spring to |he side as quickly as he could; but her cry and pull upon him were almost too late; as he leaped, the car struck. The blow was glancing, not direct, and he was off his feet and in motion when the wheel struck; but the car hurled him aside and rolled him over and 1 over. As she rushed to Eaton, the two men in the rear seat of the car turned their heads and looked back, but without checking its speed or swerving, the car dashed on and dis­ appeared down the roadway. She bent over Eaton and took hold of him. He struggled to bls feet and. dazed, tottered so that she support­ ed him. As she realized that he was not greatly hurt, she stared Mlth hor­ ror at the turn in the road where the car had disappeared. "Why. he tried to run you down I He meant to! He tried to hurt you!" she cried. “No." Eaton defied. “Oh. no. I don’t think so. It must have been— an accident He was—frightened when he saw what be had done." "It wasn’t at al! like an accident!" she persisted. "It couldn't have been an accldeqt there and coming up from behind the way be .did!

Don't you remember—a little man, nervous, but very strong; a man al­ most like an ape?" He shuddered and then controlled himself. "Yes, I remember a fellow the conductor tried to seat me oppo­ site." "This was the same man!’’ Eaton shook his head. "That could hardly be; I think you must be mis taken.” “I am not mistaken; it was that man!" “Still, I think you must be.” he again denied. She stared, studying him. "Perhaps I was." she agreed; but she knew she had not been. “I am glad, whoever It was. be didn't injure you. You are all right, aren't you?" "Quite." he assured. "Please don't trouble about II Miss Santolne." .They walked back rather silently, she appreciating how passionately she had expressed' herself for him, and he quiet because of this and other thoughts too. They found Donald Avery In front of the house looking for them as they came up. Eaton succeeded in walk­ ing without limping; but he could not conceal the marks on his clothes. “Harriet, I've Just come from your father; he wants you to go to him at once," Avery directed. "Good morning Eaton. What’s happened?" “Carelessness," Eaton deprecated. “Got rather In the way of a motor and was knocked over for it." Harriet did ''not correct this to Avery. She went up to her father; slie was still trembling, still side with horror at what she had seen— an attempt to kill one walking at her side. She stopped outside her fa­ ther’s door to compose herself; then she went In. . The blind man was propped up on his bed with pillows into almost a sitting position; the nurse was with him. "What did you want. Father?" Har­ riet asked. He had recognized her step and had been about to speak to her; but at the sound of'her voice he stopped the words on his lips and changed them into a direction for the nurse to leave the room. He waited until the nurse had left and closed the door behind .her. Har­ riet saw that, in his- familiarity M-ith her tones and every inflection of her voice, he had sensed already that something unusual bad occurred; she repeated, however, her question as to what he wanted. "That does not matter now, Har­ riet Where have you been?"* “I have been walking with Mr. Eaton." “What happened?" She hesitated. “Mr. Eaton was al­ most run down by a motorcar." "Ah!

There was trouble at that time between some of the big eastern and big western men. and at the same time the government was prosecuting the trusts. Nobody knew what the outcome of it all would be; many of the biggest men who consulted Father were like men groping tn the dark. I don’t suppose you would remember the time by what I say; but you would remember It. as nearly every­ body else does by this: H was the time of the murder of Mr. Latron.” “Yes; J remember that.” said Ea­ ton; "and Mr. Avery came to you at that time?" “Yes; just at that time I was thrown from my horse, and could not do as much as I had been doing, sp Mr. Avery was sent to Father." "Then Mr. Avery was reading to him at the time you spoke of—the time of the Latron murder?” “No; Mr. Avery came just after­ ward. I was reading to him at that time.” "The papers must have been a good deal for a girl of eighteen.” "At that time, yqp mean?

The old cry that the tax is unfair to the city man. that shad­ owy ’personage who never leaves his home pavements and ought not to be taxed for country roads, will be raised with vehemence by pictur­ esque Horatio Earle and a part of the Detroit ' legislative delegation, with the support perhaps of mem­ bers from .other auto towns. And. as in the past, the average city mot­ orist will wonder just who this mythical fellow is that, possessing the twentieth century magic carpet, should fail to use it beyond the mun­ icipal limits. The general senti­ ment will be .-that auto-owners thus oblivious to %the beauties ot their state and the uses of Its splendid roadways should be taxed Into a better appreciation. As for the bus­ iness cars, business In all parts of Michigan—and particularly in De­ troit—is a tremendous beneficiary of the network of good roads and suf­ fers indirectly when they are not maintained.

AS SEEN FROM THE WINDOW. Editor Nashville News: I was sitting at the table eating my dinner with my family, and I chanced to. look out of the window. “Oh. Daddy!" I exclaimed to my better half; “Fay Green’s house Is on fire." “No. it isn’t," he replied, looking out of the window. . "It certainly is," I told him, quite firmly, but before I had finished my humble contradiction the brave man was half way down stairs. Then I saw Fisher, the garage man, on top of tbe house, and he and my husband yelling at each other. If It hadn’t been for the fire one would have thought they were quarreling. Then my man disappeared In tbe house. If any one thinks Nashville is sparsely populated, then please start a fire and they will change their mind. In two minutes I do believe everyone but the fire department was there, which wasn't their fault as there was some trouble getting the alarm through the telephone office. No one was hurt and very little damage was done, but maybe now Fay will fix that dan? chimney. As I write this /I chanced once again to look out my window, and I do declare it looks like Doc. Morris was jealous of Fay’s popularity, for his office chimney is jurt more than puffing avaj A Birdseye View. V. D.

Just then a lady stepped into the highway and flagged me down. She asked if I would help her out of the ditch and with the aid ot a couple of my passen­ gers we complied with the request. 'Now, will you turn the car around?' she queried, and I proceeded to do that. 'Well, now I’m going to Battle Creek with you,’ she said and got In­ to my bus. ’I've had all my own driving I want for one day' she added as she paid her fare.”—Charlotte Re­ publican. ■ The county officials had a pot luck supper at the court house Tuesday.

O. Dean. NASHVILLE MARKETS. Following an prices in Nashville markets oa Wednesday, at the hour Dear Friend, Mr. Feighner: Perhaps the following account of a fatal auto accident may be of interest to the readers of The Njmhvflle News. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Strombaugh of Thermal, California, guests ot a friend In a Studebaker Six, when a little past Indio, at about 7.30 p. m. on November 26. last, met a couple of drunken Indians in a cut-down Ford, driving at a feriffle speed, zig­ zagging back and forth across the highway. When nearly opposite them, the Indians turned their car at right angle to the- highway and struck the Studebaker on the side front with such force that it turn­ ed the cars over, completely wreck­ ing both machines. Mrs. Strombaugh was sitting In the front'seat with the driver (a former student of hers) and Mr. Strombaugb was sitting in the middle of the rear seat, watching the oncoming car. As the Ford struck the car, Mrs. Strom­ baugh in some unaccountable man­ ner. was thrown clear of the car, for twenty feet or more into the roadside sand, landing on her head and shoulders. After coming to her­ self, she managed to- crawl to the overturned car, under which were the two men. The doors on side of the machine had sbeen thrown open in some way. Through these open­ ings the men managed to crawl out from under the machine. Mr. and Mrs. Strombaugh were taken to the Therman drug store, where friends attended to them until the arrival of a physiciah. It was found that Mrs. Strombaugh was badly cut and bruised on the ‘head and her body badly bruised. It was feared she had a fractured skull. Mr. Strom­ baugh was bruised about the body, legs and arms wrenched, and spine in­ jured. The attending physician sent them In to Riverside, where they could have better care. Mr. Strom­ baugh was placed in the Riverside Community hospital. He gradually grew worse until be became delirious and unconscious, suffering intensely all the time. . A blood clot formed on the'brain, due to the spinal injury. On December 29, 1922, he passed away from the results of this auto accident. His wife was constantly at his bedside, while everything was done for the stricken man. His re­ mains were taken to Corona, where he had previously lived as a young man in the realty business. The funeral was held at the Hoover Fun­ eral Chapel on January 1, 1923. In­ terment was made at Sunnyslope cem­ etery. Entering the U. S. army, he serv­ ed for about one year and a half in the E. V. C. M. D. at Camp Lewis, Washington, where he was honor­ ably discharged in May 1919. He was a member in good standing of the American Legion at Thermal, where he resided, and he was assist­ ant manager of the Black Lumber and Hardware Co., of Thermal. He was highly esteemed and respected by his fellow citizens. In December 1918, he married Miss Gladys M. Boise, a member of the faculty of the Oregon State Normal college at Monmouth. Oregon. She will be remembered as the younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Boise, who resided in Nashville sev­ eral jcars ago but are now In San Jose. Calif., also she was a grandI’u’itjrler of Mr. snj Mrs. Christopher Kill, now deceased. Mrs. Boise joined her daughter in her sad be­ reavement at Corona, and, later, both returned to the home of Mrs. Strom­ baugh, where she resumed her work as head of the English department in the Coachella Valley Union high school. Her mother will remain with her for an indefinite time. The Indian, Harry Jim. was bound over to the superior court. January 9, under $5,000 bonds by Judge Sem­ ple, of Indio, on the charge of man­ slaughter as an aftermath of the col­ lision recently with the machine driv­ en by Orville Lyons, in which J. C. Strombaugh received fatal injuries, which resulted in his death. Consta­ ble Boatwright took Harry Jim to Riverside County jail Tuesday after­ noon. This wonderful Coachelle Valley, with the altitude below sea level, is surrounded almost entirely by moun­ tain ranges. From our back door we can see to the northwest Mbunt San Jacinto, with its white snow top. Away to the north and' across the valley wo see the snow-capped Mount San Gorgonia, as sometimes called Old Gray Back. To the east is a range of rocky mountains, barren of green, that look like gr«_ .t Immense ridges of rock and sand, with the sun ever shimmering on them in dazzling brightness that fairly blinds one. There are many bearing date gar­ dens that grow fine delicious fruits of many varieties, then the grape fruits, and grape vineyards, the first grapes brought into the markets just now. We are getting home-grown vegetables, such as lettuce, spinach, beets, peas, carrots, turnips, cabbage And celery. The dairies in the valley supply us with plenty of rich milk and butter. The roads are mostly all paved and more are being built. The weather here is quite like June in Michigan, with doors and windows open throughout the day time. At night and morning just a little fire, though many do not have any at ail. There is good artesian water and electric lighting, in many ranch homes throughout the valley. Mrs. Frank C. Boise.

The short course school held in Barry county during this month have proven very successful, and a great amount of Interest shown In all of the meetings at the various places. These meetings or schools were held in fourteen communities in the county with afternoon and evening session—a total of 28 schools at Woodland, Nashville, Maple Grove Center, Assyria Center, Johnstown Grange hall, Hickory Corners. Prair­ ieville, Cloverdale, Middleville. 'Wel­ come Grange Hal), Carlton Center, Baltimore Town Hall, Glass Creek Grange Hall and Hastings. The to­ tal attendance was 1,050. At each place a genera! talk was given on soils with instructions as to how a plant obtains its food, what is meant by bacterial action, and how the farmer may know by the growth of a plant what it lacks in food nu­ triments. Also what kind of fer­ tilizer to use, that is, what indica­ tions from plant growth show what might be necessary to apply; and clear explanations were made re­ garding what is known as filler in fer­ tilizers; and necessary use of lime on our soils. The subject of dairying was dis­ cussed at three meetings, taking up feeds, feeding, and general care, breeding, and the benefit derived from Cow Testings Association, also Bull Associations. At two meetings where a great deal of Interest is shown in raising sheep, we had this topic for the oth­ er subject. This was given in a general plan for the care of sheep for a whole year, beginning at one time in the year and carrying the in­ formation as to what Is best to do, the feeding, etc., throughout the en­ tire year. Insect control—a subject of vital importance to every farmer in the county, was given at several meet­ ings, taking up the garden insects and others most common, telling what they are, giving\the life cycle ot each, and how to combat them. At several places we had for one subject t£e general care of fruit, such as spraying, pruning, etc. And with reference to this, special men­ tion was made of the need of or­ ganization for a success in this work, and how much more could be ac­ complished through an organization. Many of the schools had the sub­ ject of poultry for discussion. This was given in a general way—the care ot the average farm flock, feeding, breeding, raising of chicks, housing, etc. At Hickory Corners many people are interested in potatoes and quite a large quantity is raised each year. At the meeting the raising of pota­ toes was discussed-selection of seed, spraying, soil and general care. Specialists trim the Michigan Agricutural College assisted at all of the meetings, giving practical informa­ tion on the various subjects outlin­ ed, and in a manner all could grasp and take home and apply. The in­ formation Is of untold value to those who were present at the schools, and few realized, unless they had attend­ ed the schools held at Hastings last year, just what was in store for them. At every meeting both afternoon and evening sessions a great deal of in­ terest was shown. Many questions were asked, and those who put on these schools feel they were very successful.

The blind man turned himself on bis pillows so as to face Eaton more directly. * “Just ten days ago,” be said evenly and dispassionately, ”1 was found un­ conscious hi my berth—Section Three of the rearmost sleeper—on the trans­ continental train, which I had taken with my daughter and Avery at Se­ attle. I hud been attacked—assailed during my sleep some time in that first night that I spent on the train— and my condition wag serious enough so that for three days afterward I was not allowed to receive any of the particulars of what had happened to me. When I did finally learn them. I naturally attempted to make certain deductions as to who it was that had attempted to murder me. and why; and ever since, I have continued to occupy myself with those questions. I am going to tell you a few of my deductions. If you fancy I am at fault in my conclusions, wait until you discover your error.” Santoine waited an instant; Eaton thought it vas to allow him to speak if he wanted to, but Eaton merely waited. “The first thing I learned,” the blind man went on, “was the similarity of the attack on me te the more success­ ful attack on Warden, twelve days previous, which had caused his death. The method of the two attacks was the same; the conditions surrounding them were very similar. The des­ perate nature of the two attacks, and their almost identical method, made It practically certain that they origi­ nated at the same source and were carried out—probably—by the same hand and for the same purpose. “Mrs. Warden's statement to me of her Interview with her bushand a half-hour before his murder, made It certain that the object of the attack on him was to ‘remove’ him. It seemed almost Inevitable, therefore, that the attack on me must have been for the same purpose. “I found that a young man—your­ self—had acted so suspiciously both before and after the attack on me that both Avery and the conductor In charge of the train bad become convinced that he was my assailant, and -bad segregated him from the rest “You Understand Already,” Santoine Asserted. of the passengers. Not only this, but —and this seemed quite conclusive to them—you admitted that you were the one who had called upon Warden the evening of bis murder. It seemed likely, too, that you were the only person on the train aside from my daughter and Avery who knew who I was; for I had bad reason to believe from the time when I first beard you speak when you boarded the train, that you were someone with whom I had Nprevlously, very brlefi” come In contact; and I bad asked my daugh­ ter to find out who you were, and she had tried to do so, but without sucEaton wet his Bps. “Also," the blind man continued, ‘•there was a telegram which definite­ ly showed that there was some con­ nection. unknown to me, between you and me, as well as a second—or rather a previous—suspicious tele­ gram tn cipher, which we were able to translate." Eaton leaned forwaid. Impelled to speak; but as Santoine clearly detect­ ed this impulse and waited to bear what he was going to say, Eaton re­ considered and kept silent. . “You were going to say something about that telegram in cipher?" San­ toine asked. “No.” Eaton denied. “I think you were; and I think that a few minutes ago when I said you were not surprised by the attempt made today to run you down, you were also going to speak of It; for that attempt makes clear the meaning of the telegram. Ita meaning was not clear to me before, you understand. It said only that you were known and followed. It did not say why you were followed. I could not be certain of that; there were several possible reasons by you might be followed—*1 even that thia •one’ who ’was follow­ ing* might be someone secretly inter­ ested In preventing you from an at- Uy of our mutual positions on the train.

That made me occupy in relation to the forward part of the train exactly the same position as you had occupied before the car ahead of you bad been cut out. I was in Section Three In the third sleeper from the front." • Eaton stared at Santoine, faadnated; what had been only vague, half felt, half formed with himself, was becoming definite, tangible, under the blind man’s reasoning. His bands closed Instinctively, in his emotion. “Wbat do you-mean?” “You understand already," Santoine asserted. “The attack made on me was meant for you. Someone stealing through the cars from the front to the rear of the train and carrying in his mind the location of Section Three in the third car, struck through the curtains by mistake at me instead of you. Who was that, Eaton?” “I don’t know,” Eaton answered. “You mean you prefer to shield hlmF “Shield blmF “That la what you are doing, la it not? For, even If you don’t know the man directly, you know In whose cause and under whose direction he murdered Warden—and why and for Whom be is attempting to murder you." Eaton remained silent In bls intensity, Santoine bad lift­ ed himself from his pillows. “Who is that man?" be challenged. “And what is that connection between you and me which, when the attack found and disabled me Instead of you, told him that—in spite of his mistake—bls re­ sult bad been accomplished? told him that if I was dying, a repetition of the attack against you was unnecesEaton knew that he had grown very pale; Harriet must be aware of the effect Santolne's words had on him. but he did not dare >look at her now to see how much she was comprehend­ ing. “I don’t understand." He fought to compose himself. “It Is perfectly plain,” Santoine said patiently. “It was believed at first that I had been fatally hurt; /t was even reported at one time—I under­ stand—that I was dead; only intimate friends have been Informed of my ac­ tual condition. Yesterday, for the first time, the newspapers announced the certainty of my recovery; and to­ day an attack is made on you. They did not hesitate to attack you in sight of my daughter.”' "But—” “You are merely challenging my de­ ductions! Will you reply to my ques­ tions?—tell me the connection be­ tween us?—who you are?” “Not" “Come here!” “WbatF said Eaton. “Come here—close to me, beside the bed." Eaton hesitated, and then obeyed. “Bend over!" Eaton stooped, and the blind man's hands seized Kim. Instantly Eaton withdrew. t “Wait!’^Santoine warned. "If you do not stay. I shall call help.” One hand went to the bell beside bis bed. Harriet had risen; she met Eaton's gaze warnlngly and nodded to him to comply. He bent again over the bed. He felt the blind man's sensitive fin­ gers searching his features, his head, his throat Eaton gazed at Santolne's face while the fingers were examining him; he could see that Santoine was merely finding confirmation of an Im­ pression already gained from what he had been told him about Eaton. San­ toine showed nothing mpre than this confirmation; certainly he did not rec­ ognize Eaton. More than this, Eaton could not tell. “Now your hands,” Santoine or­ dered. Eaton extended one hand and then the other; the blind man felt over them from wrists to the tips of the fingers; then he let himself sink back against the pillows, absorbed in thought “You may go.” Santoine said at last “GoF Eaton asked. “You may leave the room. Blatchford will meet you downstairs.'' Santoine reached for the house tel­ ephone beside his bed—receiver and transmitter on one light bar—and gave directions to have Blatchford await Eaton in the bail below. “You yourself will assume charge of th* correspondence of which I speak, Daughter."

They purchase almost wholly on outward appearances, so for as the physical condition of the property is concerned. Paint, varnish and newness sell many houses. Very few purchasers concern themselves with the invisible construction of a house or with external evidence of the nature of the Internal work. Yet what is not seen largely determines the future value of the property, the cost of upkeep and the satisfaction of the owner. The passing years in­ evitably reveal the true nature of the construction. Yet it is not difficult for a home buyer to find out whether the house Is of proper and suitable materials and correct methods of construction, says an experienced builder. The best way, of course, Is to have the house Inspected by some competent person, but there are certain fundamentals which anyone mny apply for himself with the probability of being guided to a correct determination of the in­ trinsic value of a house. Nobody wants to buy a house that will soon develop cracked plaster, sagging doors, jamming windows, floors that spring and crack, unsightly open joints in woodwork and spaces be­ tween casings, baseboard and floors; leaky roofs, unsightly. sagging porches, and leaky or spilling gutters, swayback gables, etc. Rural Community Centers.

Watch for reopening of Mid-Week Shows soon Best attractions available. Public sentiment against the gen­ eral use of pistols has culminated in the introduction of a stringent anti­ pistol law by Sen. Geo. Condon of Detriit. The bill defines a pistol as any firearm having a barrel eigh­ teen inches or less In length, and would require every person to se­ cure a license from a judge, police chief or sheriff before he can carry a pistol except in his own home. It also requires all dealers in pistols to be licensed. Any person convicted of any crime will be liable to five or ten years extra sentence if it is prov­ en that he bad a pistol in his pos­ session when the crime was commit­ ted. This extra sentence would be doubled for a second offense. An­ other provision of the hill would make the fact that a man was found armed with a pistol prlma facia evi­ dence that the man intended to com­ mit the crime for which -he is on trial. Under the terms of the bill, it is a felony for a dealer to sell a weapon to a minor or an unnatural­ ized alien. The railroad labor union’s pet project, the so-called "Full Crew" bill, has made its usual appearance in the Senate. It was introduced this year by Sen. Frank L. Young of Lan­ sing. Friends of the measure fore­ cast that it will be enacted into law without fail this season despite any opposition the railroads may offer. The Young bill provides a minimum (of 6 men freight trains of 50 cars 'or over, for 5 men for shorter freight trains, 5 men for passenger, express ,or mail trains of 5 or more cars, 4 men for such trains of shorter length, and 5 men for yard crews. Two more railroad bills appeared in the Senate during the week. Both were introduced by Sen. Augustus Gansser of Bay City. One requires railroad companies to equip their engines with automatic fire doors and others require that automatic bell-ringers be Installed on all loco­ motives. , A decrease in the University of Michigan mill tax from three-fifths to three-eighths of a mill was propos­ ed by Rep. Walter Henze of Iron Mountain who declares that the pres­ ent rate is yielding the university three million dollars annually, which is more than the Legislature intend­ ed because the equalized valuation of the state has been considerably increased during the past year. = = WHAT CAVSBB GAS O.t THE It Is caused by fermenting, sour waste matter in the Intestines.

NOTICE Oc HEARING CLAIMS. warn allowed for creditor* i lata of eald and that The importance of the campaign for the eradication of bovine tuber­ culosis in Michigan was emphasised in the House on Thursday when three bills bearing on this subject were presented, two by Rep. Eugene Kir­ by of Covert, and one by Rep. John Holland of Bessemer. The first of Kirby's bills provides an emergency appropriation of >200,000 to be paid out of the general fund of the state to cover existing claims and finance work for the rest of the fiscal year. In order to decrease the cost of the bovine tuberculosis eradication campaign and allow for carrying it out on a larger scale, the other Kir­ by bill slightly reduces the amount of state reward. The amended sec­ tion would read, "In case of tuber­ culosis cattle, whenever the com­ missioner shall direc; the killing of such cattle it sha?l be the duty of the Commissioner to appraise the animal or animals condemned, and the owner or owners thereof shall receive from the State a sum equal to one-third the difference between the appraised value of each animal so destroyed and the net value of the salvage thereof; provided, that in no case shall any payment by the state be more than 125.00 for any grade animal nor more than 850 for any registered purebred animal." This would be in addition to the federal award. The present maximums are >100 each for registered cattle and >35 for grades. The Kirby bill al­ so would pave the way for county cooperation by authorising supervi­ sors to name veterinarles to cooper­ ate with the state commissliner of animal industry. Thirty-six Michi­ gan counties already have made Buch provision. / The Holland bill would require the State to recompense the farmer for all condemned cattle at full apprais­ ed value. This would greatly in­ crease the cost to the State and it is beloved that the House Committee on Agriculture, to whom It was re­ ferred. are not at all favorable to 1L Eastern Time SooghL Air Engines Used in Mines.

The "Port District" constitutional amendment which was defeated at the general election last November was revived whan Rep. Dacey of Detroit introduced a similar constitutional amendment in the House. This amendment is of especial interest because of the probable construction of the proposed St. Lawrence water­ ways improvement. Its companion measure the so-called "Excess Con­ demnation" constitutional amend­ ment, also defeated last November, was presented to the House by Rep. Culver of Detroit. The much heralded Ku Klux Kian investigation of Rep. James Burns, the twenty-three year old boy law­ maker of Detroit, was presented to the House on Wednesday and prompt­ ly referred to the rules and joint rules committee where it will proba­ bly find a peaceful pigeon hole. The Burns resolution would require that an exhaustive legislative investiga­ tion of the Kian should be made and a report submitted by April 1, 1923. Sen. James Henry of Battle Creek, the dean of all the law-makers, has Introduced a bill to provide for re­ districting the judicial circuits of Michigan. This measure would abol­ ish the forty circuits now existing and qreste ten circuits having from one to four judges for the rural cir­ cuits and twelve judges in Wayne. Sen. Henry declares that the present system has been outgrown and a re­ districting would promote greater ju­ dicial efficiency. Giant Clam.

Hints on Etiquette By CLARA DELAFIELD Laura Ryebrant uttered a plaintive little exclamation as she sat down to her desk Id the'office’of the Young Girl's Companion and saw the. iiuna of letters awaiting her. Nevertheless, she buckled to her task, for “Aunt Esther’s Page on Eti­ quette and Deportment” had been a feature of the magazine for many, 'many years. Laura had been “Aunt Esther” for nine months, since the last “Aunt Esther" left to get married. But It was hard—hard in remem­ brance of Jim's Irrational behavior the night before. Jim had been absolutely in the wrong. She had told him she would nev»r see him again. She had a perfect right to spend the evening with poor, crippled Elsie James—and he had suspected it was with another man. “And that's nn insult no self-respect­ ing- girl can ever, ever forgive," she told herself. ' She began to open the letters, which asked the old, old questions. Present­ ly she was busily writing: . “Sybil. . . . My dear. I have an­ swered your questhm In these columns over and over again. It is not correct to accept, any gift from a young man except books, flowers or candy. ' Cer­ tainly you may not accept a pair of shoes from him. He will only think the less of you for doing so." Laura took up another letter and sighod as she read It: "Dear Aunt Esther: I am in great trouble and I do not know what 1 ought to do. Me and my fellow have had n serious falling out. He accused me of going with another fellow. He did see me w'ith the other fellow, but the other fellow stopped me In the street and wanted me to go with him and I said no because I was already going with the first fellow. Now my first fellow says I met the other fellow on purpose and I'm heartbroken. Dear Aunt Esther, should I try to explain again or go with the other fellow?" Laura took up her fountain pen and wrote: “If your sweetheart has given way to base suspicions of you, it is his place to make amends, not your's to approach him. However hard it be, you should not make the first over­ tures. He will only think the less of you for it.” “And that’s that!" said Laura, thinking of Jim. And she wiped a lit­ tle tear that wouldn’t stay put In the place where tears belong. She opened another letter. Here was a young girl in love with a “feUow’’ who was a lag­ gard In love. Ought she to hint- deli­ cately that she would like them to be engaged? “A girl must never, under any cir­ cumstances, make the first advances,’’ Laura wrote. “That privilege belongs to the man exclusively. Nothing fills a right-thinking young man with more disgust than to have a girt throw her­ self at bls head. You can only possess your soul in patience." These, and many more such ques­ tions did ’ Laura answer, while the hands of the clock crept ’round and ’round. At last she put her pen-down. Lunch time had arrived. Laura got up and sighed. There came a tap at the door. “Come in!" said Laura. And Jim stood before her—Jim, looking rather sheepish, rather ashamed of himself, but so nice. Oh, Jim. always looked nice! She could never cherish rancor very long against Jim. however badly he behaved to her. Impulsively she stepped forward “Oh, Jim, darting, Pm so ashamed of my meanness to you last night," she said. “I wish I’d tried harder to make you believe in me.” He clasped her in hls'arms. “Laura, sweetheart. I do believe in what you told me,” he replied, kissing her. “I know you are Incapable of deceiving me. It was just my base suspicions. Laura, if you only knew how dear you are to me." “Jim, do you know what the trou­ ble's really been?" murmured Lapra. “I’ve never felt quite sure you—you wanted me to marry you. You—you’ve only hinted, you know." Jim looked astounded. “Why, dear, I thought that was always under­ stood," he answered. “Of course I do. just as soon as I can get that raise. And look what I’ve brought you! Six pairs—saw them in a shop window and couldn't resist IL” He pulled the cover off a box. z“Oh, Jim. how heavenly!” murmured Laura In ineffable contentment. “And just my color,tool” I. was fourteen and she was thirteen. She was a classmate of mine and I fell deeply In love' with her. Another fellow was In love with her also. We . were always quarreling about her, un­ til she said: “You two have a fight and the one who wins, wins my hand." How Doths Gals Stand It?

In business circles this man occupies a high place because of his distinguished acumen and far-sighted judgment. He possesses an unerring aptitude for win­ nowing the investment wheat from the chaff. So that his tribute to Federal and his selec­ tion of Federal Bonds for personal invest­ ment are most gratifying. , The truth is that such unbounded admira- 1 tion. of Federal Bonds is observable in growing measure throughout the whole ' length and breadth of the land. Over a long period of years Federal Bonds have demonstrated so decisively that they do possess such an unprecedented degree of safety and stability that there is no room for argument as to their superior desir­ ability over and above other securities. For either the capitalist or the wage-earner, the widow or the orphan, the professional man or the farmer, Federal Bonds provide the finest form of investment. 6*A% First Mortgage Bonds Tax Free in Michigan Free from Federal Income Tax of 4% FEDERAL BONDS Are Better Bonds Licensed to Wed.

Baton was distinctly frightened by the revelation he jljst had had of San­ toine's dear, implacable reasoning re­ garding him; for none of the blind man’s deductions about him had been wrong—all had been the exict. though incomplete truth? It was dear to him/that Santolne was close ■J—-much closer even than Santolne himself yet appreciated—to knowing Eaton's identity; it whs even. prob­ able that one single additional fact— the discovery, for instance, that Miss Davis was the oource of the second telegram received by Eaton on the train—:would reveal everything to Bantoine. And Eaton was not certain that Santolne, even without any new Information, would not reach the truth unaided at any moment. So Eaton knew that he himself must act 'before this happened. But bo long as the safe in Santolne's study was kept locked or was left open only while someone was in the room with IL he could not act until he had received help from outstrip; and he hnd not yet received that help; he could net hurry it or even tell how soon it wa likely to come. . As his mind reviewed, almost In­ stantaneously, these considerations, he glanced again at Harriet; her eyes, this time, met his, but she looked away immediately. As he- went toward the door, she made no move <0 accompany him. He went out with­ out speaking and closed the inner and the outer doors behind him'? then be ■went down to Blatchford. For several minutes after Eaton had left the room, Santolne thought tn silence. “Where are you, Harriet?" he asked at last. She knew it was not necessary to answer him. but merely to move ho that he could tell her position; she moved slightly, and bls sightless eyes shifted a; once to where she stood. “How did he act?” Santolne asked. She reviewed swiftly the conversa­ tion, supplementing his blind apper­ ceptions of. Eaton’s manner with what ahe herself had seen. “What have been your Impressions of Eaton's previous social condition. Daughter?” he asked. “You have talked with him, been with him—both on the train and here: have you been able to determine what sort of people he has been accustomed to mix with? Have his friends been business men? Professional men? Society people?” The deep and unconcealed note of trouble in her father's voice startleu her, in her familiarity with every tone and every expression. She answereo his question: “I don't know. Father.” “I want you to find out." strangely, ahe now realised that it was not the attacks "on Mr. Warden and her father—overwhelming with horror as these had been—which were bring­ ing that appreciation home to her. It was her understanding now that the attack was not meant for her father but for Eaton. Though Harriet had never believed tixat Eaton had been concerned In the attack upon her father, her denial of It had been checked and stifled be­ cause he would not even defend him­ self. She had not known what to think; she had seemed to herself .to be waiting with her thoughts in abey­ ance; until he should be cleared, she bad tried not to let herself think more about Eaton than was necessary. Though he was Involved with her fa­ ther in some way, site refused to be­ lieve he was against her father, but clearly he was not with him. How could he be involved, then, unless the Injury he had suffered was some such act of man against man as these let- She Removed the Books in Front of a Wall Safe to the Right of the Door. ters and statements represented? , She looked carefully through all the con­ tents of the envelopes, but she could not find anything which helped her. She pushed the letters away, then, and eat thinking. Mr. Warden, who appeared to have known more about Eaton than anyone else, had taken Ea­ ton’s side; it was because he had been going to help Eaton that Mr. Warden had been killed. Would not her father be ready to help Eaton, then, if he knew as much about him as Mr. War­ den had known? But Mr. Warden, “You must find a way.

She *as the more surprised at his doing this now, because she knew that Donald must have received from her father the same Instructions as bad been given herself to learn what­ ever was possible of Eaton's former position In life. Before Eaton's entrance into her life she had supposed that some time, as a matter of course, she was going to marry Donald, In spite of this, she had never thought of hersrif as apart from her father; when she thought of marrying, it had been always with the idea that her fluty to her husband must be secondary to that to her father; she knew now that she had accepted Donald Avery not because he had become necessary to her but because he had seemed essential to her father and her marrying Donald would permit her life to go on much Donald had social position and a certain amount of wealth-and power; now suddenly she was feeling that he had nothing but these things, that his own unconscious admission was that to be worth while he must have them, that to retain and Increase them was his only object in life. She had the feeling that these were the only things he would fight for; but that for these he would fight—fairly, perhaps, if he could—but, if he must, unfairly, des­ picably. 8h£ had finished dinner, but she hes­ itated to rise and leave the men alone; after-dinner cigars and the fic­ tion of the masculine conversation about the table were insisted on by Blatchford. As she delayed, looking across the table at Eaton, his eyes met hers; reassured, she rose at once; the three rose with her and stood while she went out She went up­ stairs and looked In upon her father; he wanted nothing, and after a con­ versation with him as short as she could make it, she came down again. No further disagreement between the two men. apparently, had happened after she left the table. Avery now was not visible. Eaton and Blatchford were In the music-room. With a re­ pugnance against her father’s orders which she had never felt before, she began to carry out the instructions her father had given her. She noticed that Eaton was familiar with almost everything she had liked which had been written or was cur­ rent up to five years before; all later music was strange to him. To this extent- he had been of her world, plainly, up to five years before; then he had gone out of It. She realized this only as something which she was to report to her father; yet she felt a keener, more personal Interest in it than that. Harriet Santolne knew enough of the world to know that few men break completely all social connections without some link of either fact or memory Mill holding them, and that this link most often Is a woman. Toward ten o’clock Eaton excused himself and went to his rooms. She sat for a time. Idly talking with Blatchford; then, aa a servant passed through the hall and she mistook mo­ mentarily bis footsteps for those, of Avery, she got up suddenly and went upstairs. It was only after reaching her rooms that she appreciated that the meaning of this action was that she shrank from seeing Avery again that night. But she had been In her rooms only a few minutes when her "Wil! You Come Down for house telephone buzzed, and answer­ ing it. she found that it was Donald speaking to her. "Will you come down for a few minutes, please, Harry?" Some strangeness in his tone per­ plexed her.

What it was that she had felt under his tone and manner, she could not tell; It was probably only' irritation at having important work taken out of bls hands. But whatever It was, he was not openly expressing it—he was even being careful that it should not be expressed. And now suddenly, as he followed and came close behind her and her mind went swiftly to her father lying helpless up­ stairs, and her father's trust in her, she halted. “We must ask Father," she raid. “Ask him!" he ejaculated, "Why?" She faced him uncertainly. Dot an­ swering. "That’s rather ridiculous, Harry, es­ pecially as it is too late to ask him tonight.” His voice was suddenly rough in his Irritation. "I have had charge of those very things for years; they concern the matters in which your father particularly confides in me. It Is Impossible that he meant you to take them out of my hands like this. He must have meant only that you were to give me what help you could with ! them! Harry, don’t you see that you are putting me in a false position— wronging me? You are acting as though you did not trust me!” “I do trust you, Don; at least < have no reason to distrust you. I only say we must ask Father.” “They’re in your little safe?" She nodded. "Yes.” . "And you’ll not give them to me?" "No." He stared angrily; then l»e shrugged and laughed and went back to his desk and began gathering up his scattered papers. She stood indecisively watch­ ing him. Suddenly he looked up, and she saw that he had quite conquered his irritation, or at least had concealed It; his concent now seemed to be only over his relations with herself. “We've not quarreled, Harry?” he asked. . “Quarreled? Not at all, Don,” she replied. She moved toward the door: he fol­ lowed and let her out, and she went back to her own rooms. “Such a strange, little creature aa 1 am," said the Star-Nosed Mole to Bil­ lie Brownie, who had come to call. “I have curious ways and I am dif­ ferent from others.

We have the best school system in all the world, yet we stand ninth among the nations of the world in literacy. There are five millions of illiterates in the United States over ten years of age. The war intelligence tests disclosed the startling fact that 20% of our population cannot use the English language so as to understand the written word or to express themselves. 68% of the illiterates in our cities are foreign born. The foreign press keeps the foreigner foreign. The foreign language press in this country has de­ fended itself on the ground that only by talkmgl for­ eign language could we teach the foreigner American ideas and ideals. It has defended itself on the ground that it was the melting pot that educated the foreigner into the American. But the records prove conclu­ sively that is has not taught American ideas or Ameri­ can ideals and it has not made these ideals safe in the hands of men ano women who think only in a foreign tongue; who live 18 years in the heart of our country for no end but to suck its wealth that they may go back to a foreign home to spend that wealth. The foreign language paper is the most un-American institution tolerated by the most generous and the most tolerant oj people. If their professions be true, the best patriotic service that any foreign language newspaper can render to -»iejU2nted_States_is_to goout °f business. igr UXIU.I.

At any rate, if occasion demands, we can smoke a cigarette, but we don't believe Ed. Woodard could. I What makes us think so? Telly. Th’other night Ed. came home from a hard, cold day with the old John D. Gasofeller wagon, and he drop­ ped down by the stove to thaw out. After he had hugged the heater a while he got so heated.up that he got it into his head that he had a fever, and he commenced to worry about it. Finally Mrs. Ed. hunted up the family thermometer, shook it down and gave it to JEd.. who stuck it in his mouth and went to sleep. After sitting there and snoring for half an hour or so, Mrs. Ed. happened to think about the thermometer and went in to have a look at it, just to see how many degrees of tempera­ ture Ed. really had, and she found him still sitting there, with the wrong end of the thermometer in his mouth. And that’s why we think he couldn’t learn to smoke a cigarette —he’d surely burn his mouth some­ thing awful.

I CANNOT Friend Reader' here and SIMPLICITYIN COLONIfiL HOME and It Is certain-that there win be no tearing out and rebuilding necessary during the course of construction. That la why It Is recommended that pros­ pective home owners “plan to build and build from a plan.” The home building suggestion given herewith Is an unusual type of colonial bouse. While the entrance door and terrace porch suggest the colonial style of architecture, at fi.st glance the lack of balance of the-exterior ap­ pearance would lead the.«experienced to deride that this design is hot a true colon laF. But the floor plans that ac­ company the exterior view show that ’it is h colonial, with additions, such ns the sun parlor In the corner at one end, with the kitchen at the back. Thia home is good, especially if the family that Is to occupy it is slightly larger than the average, or if the own­ er desires to have plenty^of additional bedrooms. The entrance hall Is rather large aud has the stairs leading to the sec­ ond floor running out of IL To the left and running the depth of the house is the living room, with the open fire-place and book cases.* The dotted lines on the plan indicate a beam cell­ ing, which may or may not be put in according to the desires of the owner. This room is large, being 11 feet wide and 23 feet G Inches long. It Is well lighted, having windows at the front, on the side and at the rear. Double doors lead to the dining room, which also may be reached from the entrance hall. This room also Is large, 12 by 14 feet. Between the dining room and kitchen is a breakfast nook and but­ ler's pantry. The kitchen, a corner room, is 11 by 12 feet and is equipped with the modern built-in kitchen con­ veniences. At the right of the en­ trance hall, connected with it by a double glass opening. Is a library, 12 by 7 feet 6 Inches In size, while at the DAIRY ’FACTS TANK HEATERS ARE FAVORED When Milk. Cows Are Watered Infre­ quently It le Poor Policy to 'Supply Ice Water. When a cow drinks water, her body at once sets to work raising it. If necessary, to the same temperature as exists normally In the body. In order to warm the water taken in, beat Is just as necessary as It is to wann a kettle of water on the stove. To provide the heat necessary, the blood and Internal organs give up a portion of their supply until more is supplied from food previously con­ sumed. As tiie milk cow is a heavy consumer of water, much heat is re­ quired to warm It. Consequently when cows are allowed to drink water that Is very cold, a high percentage of the feed eaten Is required to heat it. If It Is true that some heat is being given off from the body all the time and when the amount of water taken in at one time Is small the loss Is un­ important. But when the cows are watered only once or twice daily, and then get near ice water, they are like­ ly to suffer Injury and more feed Is necessary. Stated briefly, it is a ques­ tion of balancing good feed and the cow’s time digesting It. against the cost- of a good tank heater and a few pails of cobs or coal. The man inter­ ested in getting the most out of bls cows and in their comfort will not expect them to be their own tank heaters.

The specialists on live stock feeding say that the time to begin using si­ lage is when the dairyman needs it; they feel there is n • justification for the Idea that a certain time must elapse ketween ti»e filling of the allo and opening it for use. Experiments made at the state col­ leges of the country indicate that fer­ mentation starts almost as soon as the corn is placed in the silo, and that the greatest change takes place during the first five days after filling. After 12 days, fermentation is practically com­ plete. and the silage undergoes very little modification after two weeks. Some fanners do not know that sil­ age will keep for a long tln^p. Ex­ periments indicate that silage Is as First Floor Plar Uncommon Sense JOHN BtAKT YOUR AMUSEMENTS MUSEMENT 1g useful and neces­ sary. Without it the world would not only be a dull place but au Impos­ sible place.

But most men will not walk and they will ploy games. So the games earn their keep in health and are not an extrava­ gance. If you read the right kind of novels and go to the right kind of plays they will stimulate thought and may pay for themselves many times over.

WINTER DISHES HE forehanded housewife who has laid in her needed supply for the winter when she has a good fruit or vegetable cellar will always have a variety for her table. Oarrots covered with sand and. lightly moistened, kept cool and dark, will be fresh and crisp down to the last layer. Hubbard squash, cabbage, turnips, onions, cel­ ery, endive may all be kept if care­ fully cared for. The cabbage If wrappped in newspaper and laid on the stone or cement floor near the cold air shaft or In a vegetable cellar kept at 40 or 50 degrees will be found firm and crisp to the last. Flnely-shredded cabbage allowed to stand In very cold water until It curls and Is very crisp makes most delicious cold Slav,- and salads.

The charm of any* cabbage is tn Its'fluffy fineness. It* should be shredded as fine as tissue paper if possible. There are so many small shredders on the market now that no one need be without one. The little hard-shelled fluted squash which are just the right size for a good individual serving are delicious cut open, seeds removed and the cav­ ity filled with butter, salt and pepper, turning carefully to have both halves well baked and not lose the season­ ings.

Although moldy silage apparently does not injure mature cows. It has been found to affect the health of calves and horses. To be on the safe side, careful farmers discard the moldy silage from the top of the silo. REAL VALUE OF DAIRY COW Baked Ham. Take a slice of ham two Inches thick from the center of the ham. Cover with milk, using a quart; add a bay leaf, one-half teaspoonfui of dry mus­ tard, six slices of carrot and half a clove of garlic. Bake In a slow oven until the milk is absorbed. Most Reliable Method Is to Figure Her Actual Butterfat Produc­ tion by Weight The most reliable way of getting at the real value of a dairy cow is to fig­ ure her actual butterfat production. This can be done by weighing the milk produced by each cow and by deter­ mining the per cent of butterfat through occasional tests of the milk with a Babcock tester.

Second Floor Plan. Interested, for the new home is going to be something that will mean com­ fort and satisfaction for the family for many years to come. It is in connection with this stage of home acquisition that a warning is deemed necessary. While the family is deciding what each member desires In the new home, there is danger that the plans will either be too elaborate or wlU not be practical. Mistakes are costly and easy to make, especially when those who are doing the plan­ ning have had no practical experience in building construction. Suggestions are good; in fact, the members of the family should and hrve a right to plan the house, but they should be guided by the advice of the architect, the con­ tractor and the material dealer. These men are experienced, and uro experts in building construction. Their advice is based on a practical knowledge and does not cost the owner a cent By counseling with these experts, the plans as finally drawn will be re­ produced exactly by the contractor Cheaper to Milk and Feed One Ank corner is the sun parlor, a room 1( mal Giving Large Yield Than It feet 6 Inches square.

President George C. Deane codes -tout flatly and says that under no cir­ cumstances will tib be a candidate again for the office of president of the village. Frankly, we’re sorry. Mr. Deane .has served the village faithfully and’well. and he Is entitled to the gratitude of every good citi­ zen for the Interest ho has taken in the welfare of the village and for the many strenuous hours he bar put in during his two terms in the office. This being president.of a village is usually looked upon and considered as a more or less thankless task, and in some ways It is. Yet a citizen•who'serves .in this capacity and does his best is usually rewarded, as he should be, by*Jthe true appreciation of the citizenship at large for the sacrifices he has made for the gen­ era. welfare of the community. We believe Mr. Deanes has won the re­ spect and approval of the people in general, and that moht of them will learn with genuine regret that he positively declines another term. It is now up to the voters of the village tn select a successor to Mr. Deane.

He went to his room and made name slight changes lig hts dregs: he came down then to the library, found a book and settled himself to read. Toward noon Avery looked in on him there and rather constrainedly prof­ fered hla Invitation. Eaton accepted, and after Avery had gone to get ready. Eaton put away his book. Fifteen minutes later, hearing Avery’s motor parting. outride, Eaton went into the h^ll; m servant brought his coat and hat. and taking them, he weut out to the motor. Avery appeared « moment later, with Harriet Santolne. She stood looking after them as they spun dawn the curving drive and onto the pike outside the grobttds; then she went back to the study. She dismissed Mlxs Davis for the day. and taking the typewritten sheets and some other papers her father had .waked to have read to him. she went • up to him. , Basil Santolne was alone and awake. “What have yon. Harriet;*’ he asked. She sat down and glancing through the papers In her hand, gave him the subject of each; then at bls direction she began to read them aloud.. As she finished the third page, he Inter­ rupted her. “Has A*ery (gken Eaton to the country club as I ordered?” "Yes.” ' “I shall want you to go out there in the afternoon; I would trust your observation more than Avery’s to de­ termine whether Eaton has been used Tto such surrounding!." .She read another page, then broke off suddenly. “Has Domdd asked you anything today. Father?" "In regard to what?" “I thought lost night he twined dis­ turbed about my relieving him of pur! of bls work.” “Disturbed? In what way?” She hesitated, unable to define even to herself the Impression Avery's’ man­ ner hsd made on her. "I understood he was going to ask you to leave It sjlll in his bands." "He has not done so yet.” “Then probably I was mistaken." She read again for half an hour after luncheon, fluishlpg the pages she had brought. “Now you’d better go to the club.” the blind man directed. She put the reports and letters away In the safe In the room below, and going to her own apartments, she dressed carefully for the afternoon. As she drove down the road. she passed the scene of the attempt by fhe men In the motor to run Eaton down. The Indeflnitchess of her knowledge hy whom or why the attack liad been made only made It seem more terrible to her. Unquestionably he was in constant danger of Its.repe­ tition, and especially when—as to­ day—he was outside her father’s grounds. Instinctively she hurried her horse. She stopped at the club­ house only to make certain that Mr. Avery and hla guest were nnt there; then she drove on to the polo field. As she approached, she recognized Avery’s lithe, alert figure on one of the poniw; with' a deft, quick stroke William MacHarg Edwin Balmer Oacnteb* k* UiU.. hm Cmiw standing off by himself. She waited till he looked toward her. then sig ns led him to come over. She gut down, and they stood together follow­ ing the play. “You know polo?” she questioned him.' as she saw the expression of appreciation In his face as a player daringly “rode-off” an antagonist and saved a “cross." She put the -ques­ tion without thought before she rec­ ognized tiiat she wr.* obeying her fa­ ther's Instructions. “1 understand the game somewhat," Eaton replied. “Have you ever played?" , "It seems to deserve Its reputation as the aununit of sport.” he replied. He answered so easily that she could not decide whether he was evad­ ing «>r iu»; and somehow. Just then, she founn It Impossible to put the sliutje q test ion direct again. . “ijood! Good. Don!" she cried enthU;.lHS|kally and clapped her hands as Avery suddenly raced before them, csughi the hall with a swinging, backbalded stroke and drove It directly toward his opponent's goal. Instantly whirling his mount. Avery raced away after the ball, and with another clean stroke scored a goal. Everyone about cried out in approbation. “He's very quick and clever. Isn't he?' Harriet said to Eaton. Eston nodded. "Yes; he's by all odds the moat skillful man on the field, I should say." The generosity of the praise Im­ pelled the girl, somehow, to qualify IL “But only two others really have played much—that man and that." ' “Yes. I picked them as the experi­ enced ones.” Eaton said quietly. “The others—two nf them, at least— are out for rhe first time. I think." •They watched the rapid course of the nail up and down the field, the scurry and scamper of the ponies after It. then the clash of a melee. Two |w»nles went down, and their riders were flung. When they arose, one of rhe least exiierlenced boys limped apologetically from the field, Avery rode to the barrier. “I say, any of you,fellows, don’t yon want to try It? We’re Just getting warmed up." Avery looked over to Eaton and gave the challenge direct. "Cure t« take a chance?” Harriet Santolne watched her com­ panion ; a sudden flush bad come to his face, which vanished, as she turned and left him almost pale: but his eyes glowed. Avery’s manner In challenging him. as though he must refuse from fenr of such a fall a* he Just had witnessed, was not enough to explain Eaton's start. “How can I?" he returned. “If you want to play, .von can.” Avery dared him. "Furden”—thud whs the boy who had Just bwn hurt— "will lend you some things; Ills’ll Just about tit you': and you can have his mounts." Harriet continued to watch Entof.: the challenge had been put sn as to give him no ground for refusal but timidity. “You don’t Hire to?" Avery taunted him deftly. "Why don't you try It?" Harriet found herself saying to him. He hesitated. She realized It was not timidity he was feeling: it was something dee|»er and stronger than that. It was fenr; but so plainly It was not fear of hodily hurt that she rooted Instinctively toward him In sympathy. He looked swiftly ut .Avery, then at her. then away. He seemed to fear alike accepting or re­ fusing to play; suddenly he made a decision. “I’ll play." He started instantly away to the dressing rooms; a few minutes later, when he rode onto the field. Harriet was. cOTHM-Jorts that. In some way. Ea­ ton was playing a part as he listened to Avery’s directions. . Avery appointed himself fo oppose Eaton wherever possible, besting him In every contest for the hall; but she saw that Donald, though he took It upon himself to show all the other players where they made their mis­ takes. did not offer any instruction to Eaton. One of the players drove the hail close to the barrier directly be­ fore Harriet; Eaton and Avery raced for It, neck by neck. Eaton by better riding gained a Httle; as they came up. she saw Donald's attention was not upon the ball or the play; In­ stead, he was watching Eaton closely. And she realized suddenly that Don­ ald had appreciated as fully as herM-if that Eaton's clumsiness was a pretense. It was no longer merely polo the-ttyo were playing; Donald, suspecting or js-rhaps even certain that Eaton knew the game, was try­ fret of an opponent's |M>ny.

Donald and Eaton raced for It. "Stedman!” Avery' called to a team­ mate to prepare to receive the hall after he bad struck It; and he lifted hla mullet to drive the ball away from Id front of Eaton. But as Avery'* club was coming down. Eaton, like a flash and apparently without lifting his mallet at all. caught the ball a sharp, smacking stroke. It leaped like a ballet, straight and true, toward the goal, and before Avery could turn. Ea­ ton was after It and upon It, but he did not have to strike again; It bound­ ed on and on between the goal-posts, while together with the applause for the stranger arose a laugh at the ex­ pense of Avery. But ns Donald haired before her. Harriet saw that he was not angry or discomfited, but was smiling triumphantly to himself; and as she called In praise to Eaton when be came close again, she discovered In him ouiy dismay at what be had done.

The afternoon was not warm enough to sit outside; In the club house were gathered. groups of men and girls who had come In from the golf course nr from watching the polo practice. She found herself now facing one of these groups composed of some of her own friends, who were taking tea and wafers In the recess before some win­ dows. They motioned to her to Jnin them, and she could not well refuse, especially as thia had been a part of her father’s Instructions. The men rose, as she moved toward them, Ea­ ton with her; she Introduced Eaton: a chair was pushed forward for her. and two of the girls made a place for Eaton on the window seat between them. As they seated themselves and were served. Eaton’s participation In rhe polo practice was the subject of con­ versation. She f<mnd, as she tried'to talk with her nearer neighbors, that she was listening instead io this more general conversation which’Eaton hnd joined. She saw that these |>eople had accepted him as one of their own sort to the point of Jesting with him about his “lucky" polo stroke for a l>eglnner; his manner toward them was very different ’from what It bad been Just now tn Herself; he seemed at ease and unembarrassed with them. One or two of the girls appeared to have been eager—even anxious—id meet him ; and she found herself oddly, resenting the attitude of these girl*. Her feeling was indefinite, vague; it made lies flush and grow uncomfort­ able: to recognise dimly that there was In It some sense of a proprletor shlp of her own in him which took alarm at seeing other girls attracted by him; but underneath it was her un­ easiness at his new manner to herself, which hurt because she could not ex­ plain it. As the party finished their tea. she looked across to him. ’ “Are you ready to go, Mr. Eaton F sh^ asked. "Whenever Mr. Avery is ready." "You needn’t wait for him unless you wish; ,1'11 drive you back," she offered. « “Of course I’d prefer that. Miss Santoine." They went out to her trap, leaving Donald tn motor back alone. Ar soon as she bad driven out of the duh grounds, she let the horse take Its m gait, and she turned and facet! him. “Will ynu tell me.

''i' I'.n •'V mc J11M SAIE Agricultural Census Repeal Up to House. Monday evening the Senate passed by a unanimous vote Sen. Bernie L. Case's bill to repeal the 1921 law providing for the taking of a simple crop acreage and livestock census by supervisors. Thus the whole propo­ sition of agricultural statistics for Michigan has been passed on to the House of Representatives where sen­ timent is rather evenly divided oveh this issue. Just at present the Case blli is being considered by the Agri­ cultural Committee of the House. The restoration of Michigan cheese to popular favor with the big buyers and the consuming public through standarization of the product is pro­ posed by Sen. Norman B Horton. He would establish a definite fat and moisture content tor cheese and pro­ vide for proper labeling. Prospects are bright for legisla­ tive support for the program of bo­ vine tuberculosis eradication in Mich­ igan The Agricultural Committee of the House has reported favorably the bill to provide a 32 00,000 emer­ gency appropriation to pay back claims and finance the campaign for the rest of tho year and also the measure to slightly reduce the state award on condemned cattle to con­ form to the federal statute. Tho mounting costs of state high­ way construction and maintenance is a fruitful source of legislation con­ sideration at present. The (Out­ standing proposal along this line to appear during the week was pre­ sented by Rep. David H. Butler of Fostoria who would call a halt in the payment of state rewards Cor local highways for two years. Long Time Bonds Attacked. Bonding unborn generations is not approved by Rev. David H. But­ ler of Fostoria who would limit the maturity of school district bonds to fifteen years. The last Legislature increased the time limit tor com­ plete amortization of such bonds to thirty years. Repeal of the law requiring ve­ hicles used on public highways to be a standard fifty-six inch guage is proposed by Rep. Orvy " Hulbtt of Armada. Rep. Peter Lennon of Genesee would require school districts __ to have a combined vacation _ _ ' of at least 12,000,000 in order to consoli­ date to establish an agricultural school. • 1 The Esple trill Is the second effort to counteract the present centraliza­ tion of governmental authority. The first bill was introduced by Rep. Geo. M. Long of Gratiot county and pro­ posed to abolish the governor's veto power in connection with acts of the administrative board. It was put to sleep in the state affairs committee. Rep. Edward G. Read of Richland one of Michigan's-leading sheep feed­ ers, introduced a bill in the house to exempt feeder sheep and lambs from the provisions of the present law re­ quiring dipping for all sheep brought into Michigan.

"Auto Buddy" says you can dis­ guise a Ford In many ways, byt you can’t mistake its particular and dis­ tinctive cough when it is getting up steam on a cold morning. Paul Cole is getting to be a great Ice-yacht enthusiast, and he will tackle anything, in the line of a new stunt that promised a thrill, but he pulled one Thursday morning that he doesn’t care to repeat. He was out alone with the “Blizzard," one of the smaller boats., The ice was fine and the breeze was plenty and Paul was making a flying machine look like a crab travelling backward, when he happened to scent danger ahead. He swung the tiller around and the "Blizzard*' responded so promptly that Paul went right on ahead, while the boat made a sudden turn and headed for Barryville point, where it stopped after it had made its way partially throught “Deak” Lane’s cottage. Paul stuck to the ice until his coat and trousers had worn through and there was a nice big red spot on the meat, before he was able to stop and regain his feet. And he walked home and left the darned "Blizzard" safely moored to "Deak’s" cottage. And the same boat brought two more yachtsmen to grief before the day was ended. George Deane and Lyman Baxter took it out for a spin over the ice and sailed with the wind towards the upper end of the lake, but when they started to tack badk the boat refused to respond to the tiller and slid sideways with breath­ taking speed towards the shore. Just to add to the pleasantness of their predicament, right between them^nd the bank stood a number of cakes of ice which fishermen had left when they moved their shanties, but which the sailors supposed marked a place where men had been cutting ice. The idea of crashing Into the brush on shore was bad enough but the thought of an icy bath was worse, and they made frantic but futile efforts to head the boat into the wind. Just as they had given up all hope an ex­ tra strong gust of wind snapped off tho "Blizzard’s” prow, letting the sail and all the rigging fall on their heads, and the boat came to an abrupt stop. When they got un­ tangled from the wreckage they de­ cided they had enough ice-boatingfor one day and set a, straight course for the hotel, on foot. We predict that Commodore Olin will have to hold several schools of instruction for members of his yacht club before the sport becomes very popular.

GIVE CALF SEPARATE STALL Make It Possible to Prevent Spread x of Various Diseases Among Young Animals. / The best breeders have come to the conclusion that it Is highly desirable to provide every new-born calf with a separate stall for at least a period of four or five weeks. Men who have been studying the young calf declare that at the time of its birth It is likely to be infected with a variety of germs which are apt to cause trouble. By investigating the contents of the calf's stomach, in order to determine the kinds of bacteria it contains, a number of disease-producing bacteria have been found. If several young­ sters are kept In a stall together at this early period, the chances are. If one Is Infected with a certain disease, that all will have the same trouble. The separate calf stall makes It easy to prevent the spread of these various calf diseases and by keeping calves in separate stalls for Jour or five weeks, the usual time of infection, many of the common Ills will be eliminated. CHURNING TROUBLE CAUSES Ordinarily Weather Is Determining Factor, Being Either Too Cold or Else Too Warm. Churning troubles are due occasion­ ally to the feed or to the fact that Hl has been some months since the cows were fresh. Ordinarily the trouble IS caused by the weather; the cream Is either too cold or It has been made too warm. Gold weather holds back the ripening of the cream, also, and un­ ripe cream makes trouble In the churn. The best plan Is to keep the cream In 8 warm enough place so It will ripen as it does In summer, and then tjg— churn with the cream at a ternpos­ ture of 60 to 62 degrees. Cream some­ times makes trouble If the cows de not have plenty of saltl Put Cows on Record. Get acquainted with your rows; they might be cheating you.

' This District to Benefit. , Hastings, Nashville, Middleville, Caledonia, Lake Odessa, Vermont­ ville and Woodland, comprising the system of the Thornapple Gas and Electric Company, will be connected to this 1300 mile towter system, and every one of these communities will be backed by this power reserve. A 40,000 volt, high-power line will be run from the 35,000 horsepower plant at Battle Creek, direct to .Hast­ ings, where it will feed into the pres­ ent system. With the completion of this work, each of these communities will have almost unlimited power re­ sources—and can thus attract any Industries’ locating here. New op­ portunities for growth are thus op­ ened to this territory. Our com­ munities need not depend on any single power plant alone but will have the energy of 36 plants, each backing the other. This system is operated under the control of Load Despatches, who are In constant touch with every power plant and substation by means of a state wide phone system. All gener­ ating equipment is put "on the line" under instructions. By this means excess power at one point in the state can be transferred to another com­ munity where more power Li needed at that particular time. In the same way the water power resources of the northern part of the state can be brought over thia system to the cities of central Michigan. A Michigan Business.

Dann, is copied from the Charlotte Tribune of August 26th, 1908. "Lewis J. Dann, candidate for pro­ bate judge, was the flrst of several candidates to enter the list. A clean­ er, more conscientious or an abler candidate could not be named. He made a model prosecutor, careful in expenses, vigilant In effort to convict the guilty. Mr. Dann was associat­ ed with Judge Jacob L. McPeek in law practice when the latter was judge of probate, and has always had a large probate practice. No lawyer in the county, excepting Judge May­ nard, who held the office four years, is probably so ^ell versed In probate practice as he. He is that type of man with whom one feels at per­ fect ease and from whom one is sure to get just such counsel as one would get from an own father. There Is a special fitness In the candidacy of the modest, unassuming lawyer, the wellpoised, gentlemanly candidate, whose selection as a perfectly prepared and fully trusted man would do honor to all sections of the country." —Political Advt.

A while ago, when a delegation from Nashville went over to Owosso to look over a coal mine in which some of them wero thinking of buy­ ing stock. Wes Noyes went along. They were making a tdur of inspec­ tion ot the mine, and in many places the workings were rather low and tbe visitors had to "scruge a little" to keep from bumping their beads on the timbers. In the course of their travels, Wee got a little-bit tired in the back from ao much crouching and he involuntarily straightened up a Tittle, Just at the wrong time, aud his head hit a timber with such ferae that Wes sat down, promptly and very emphatically. Were you ever down In a coal mine, especially one whore there was plenty of water dripping all the while? Well, any­ way, it makes a particularly nasty, black muddy paste, and that’s what Wes sat down in. And if Wes had­ n't been a meek aud lewly follower he would most certainly have cussed a little, but the boys say he never cussed a bit. Couldn’t find any words that would do the subject jus­ tice. That makes us think again.

Editor Len Felghner ot theNasfiville News, was matron of the town opera house down in his bailiwick and a traveling opera troupe got him to take the part of Uncle Tom in a stirring mellerdrammer? When the troupe struck town they were shy one player, as the poor cuss had sore feet and couldn't travel another mile, so they got Len to take the part of Uncle Tom, and the show went on. Len got along pretty well, es­ pecially that part where he held little Eva on his lap and told her where all the bad little girls go to that went down to the train to see-Ahe travelling men come in, only nobody told Len that Eva was the boss’ wife, and along in the third act, when Eliza was crossing the Ohio, the boss happened to look around and Len was still hanging onto Eva, only this time they were baek stage outside the scenery. “1*11 never forget?’ said Len, who was telling this story to a group of newspaper meh’ down -at the editorial meeting, "how peeved that fellow acted all of a sudden, but I was two jumps ahead' of him to the stage en­ trance and I never did wait to see whether Eljza got over into Ohio that night, or not.” Gee, whiz! What an awful mess George Campbell got into the other he got somebody else Into. So bad, In fact, that we rather doubt if George has even told his wife, about it, and you can safely bet it wasn’t George who told us, either. You know, George has a farm out west of town, but he lives in town and goes back and forth to do the chores. The other day he had been down and fed the stock and garnered the eggs, which later he put on the seat of the sleigh and covered up with a blanket, to keep them from freezing. On his way home he overtook a couple of young ladies. George is nothing if not kindly, so be stopped the team and asked the young ladles to get in and ride. They accepted with alac­ rity, and the first one in plunked her­ self squarely down on those eggs. She .isn't exactly theral, either, and what happened to that nest of eggs was good and plenty. The eggs were a total ruin and the young lady's coat was the next thing to it, and the blanket was truly a sight. And what Mrs. George will do to George when she finds out all about it we’re mighty glad we don’t know, for if we did we might be tempted to leave out a perfectly good and legitimate lull bnrettrforv uniin.luciire.

Frank Keith and'Mr. Westegard were the only ones that came to town that day from out of the village, and in speaking of them recalls a near pathetic incident that happened to thes^ same men the week before. They walked over to the Tieche tale and along in the afternoon when they started for home, Frank sug­ gested that they take the gully road back to the main road and so start­ ed out, but after walking two miles Frank began to< realize that some­ thing was Wrong and stopped at a farm house to And out where in samhlll they were end a way out. Tho lady told him to turn to the right at the corner, going a mile east he would come out at Lee Miles’ cor­ ners on the main road, and they managed to follow directions that far, but there their troubles were all re­ newed, for which way should they turn? They finally took a chance and after walking a ways, met Ruby Slossen coming home from Nash­ ville and he stopped to ask what the big Idea might be. They told him and he had one time trying to con­ vince them that they were headed for Vermontville. Mr. Westegard was getting tired however and was in for a new bell wether so Ruby got them in and as far as his place, where Frank thought they surely could go on home, but on second thought Ruby decided to take no chances and took them on home, which no doubtsaved their families a night of worry. They tried to bribe Ruby to keep it under his hat, but to no avail. The L. B. C. meeting at the home of Mrs. Grant Friday brought out 30 with the usual good time these par­ ties enjoy.

When it comes to doing the right thing at the right time there are about 150 people that are satisfied that they hit the nail square when they turned out to “The Corner Store" Saturday night. It just filled the old hall to the limit and the uni­ versal verdict was that it was dandy, 0.

The play itself is certainly an ideal piece containing in a perfectly mddur Lated blend, pathos, humor, reality, all in one, and that is very rare in these plays written for amateur-pro­ ductions and every one in the cast fitted their places too which is about as rare. As might be expected, the first production was probably >open to some minor criticism, but that will be all corrected before it is put on again. They hope to play at several of the near-by places yet before spring and at present expect to put it on in the op'era hall at Vermont­ ville this Saturday night.

Washington chose solitude when he prayed for strength and guidance In the forests; Lincoln knew nothing of loneliness when he lay upon the floor of his log Cabin before the glow of a ‘hearth fire studying by Its faint light and pondering the subject matter of hla lessons; tbe late John Wanamaker solved bls most difficult business prob­ lems In privacy.

Architects in nil other parts of the country have taken tbe Californio Idea and altered their plans so that bunga­ lows, built of al! sorts of materials, have become a most popular type of home. The buildings for the colder sections are well constructed, set on good foundations of masonry or con­ crete and have a modern, full base­ ment to accommodate the heating plant, provide storage space and for the laundry. When closely analysed., the bunga­ low and the apartment are practically the same thing. Floor plans for the one approximate the floor jdans for the other. The apartment building is rdnlly a series of bungalows, set one dpon the other. However, In doing this the attractiveness of the bunga­ low is lost.

Manager Sprague Fortunate in Se­ curing Early Showing of this Great Photo Druma. A story of the world and its people, "Mother O' Mine,” Thomas H. Ince’s latest drama for the Associated Pro­ ducers. has been announced as the feature of the Park Theatre program February 25-26. The forthcoming production, a mel­ odrama of metropolitan life, is en­ acted by an all-star cast consisting of Lloyd Hughes, Joseph Kilgour, Betty Blythe, Betty Ross Clark and Claire McDowell. Fred Niblo, who has directed many successful screen productions, tha most recent of which was Douglas Fairbanks' "The Mark of Zorro," has directed the Ince fea­ ture, which should constitute a guar­ antee of its technical excellence. The plot, briefly, deals with the Involved situations arising from the desires of Robert JSheldon, the only st n of his mother, to seek the oppor­ tunities that the city has to offer ov­ er his native small town. His moth­ er gives him a letter of introduction to a’ prominent wizard of finance, who is unknown to the boy, his own father who has deserted his family years before under the drunken sup­ position that his wife’s infidelity has made the boy tbe son of another. The boy is given a position in the financier's offices, and unknowingly becomes the cat’s paw of some doubt­ ful business transactions. Discover­ ing his situation, he accuses the flnan cler. who. enraged because the boy has prevented the consummation of a big deal, viciously attacks his moth­ er's name. A fight results in which the wizard is accidentally killed by his own rqyolver. The only witness to the affray, the slain man’s mistress, perjures her­ self on the witness stand to secure the boy's conviction and sentence to the electric chair. From that point onward the mother moves into prom­ inence, her unselfish sacrifice and de­ termination constituting the basis of many suspensive situations. From both a productions! and photographic standpoint, "Mother O' Mine” compares favorably with any­ thing Thomas H. Ince has yet pro­ duced. The camerawork, by Henry Sharp, embodies many puzzling and remarkable effects. The drama was adapted to tbe screen by C. Gardner Sullivan, from "The Octopus,” by Charles Belmont Davis, and was directed under the personal supervision of Thomas H. Ince. THANKS FOR PROMPT SETTLE­ MENT. Quimby. Mich., Feb. 17, '23.

A resolution is being prepared' by Prosecuting Attorney Sigler and County Clerk Honeywell, as directed by the board of supervisors, to sub­ mit to the voters of Barry county a proposition to authorize the board of supervisors to make necessary re­ pairs at the County House, and pay for them out of the county’s general fund, which will require no bond is­ sue. Representatives of the State Wel­ fare department have visited the County Home, and have declared that It is both dangerous and unsanitary. There is a big crack in the east brick wall which the W’elfare Dept, declare makes the building unsafe. They say the rooms for the Inmates are too small, and. the building Is unsan­ itary. Having called the county's attention to the subject, they expect these matters will be attended to. If they are not, they can condemn the building, which would require this county to -hire board and rooms for the 35 inmates, at a heavy cost. The plan Is to take down the dan­ gerous east wall, make the east building 30 feet wide instead of 26, and 100 feet long instead of 65.

Fowler, 132 Chestnut, entertained at a 7 o’clock dinner Thursday evening compliment­ ing the former’s father, Charles Fow­ ler, who was celebrating his 87th birthday anniversary. The out of town guests were Mrs. Eunice Mead and Mrs. David Kunz, daughters of Charles Fowler. The dinner party was part of an annual celebration which usually lasts several days at the Fowler home and commemorates the father’s birthday, February 22, Dr. Fowler’s which occurs today and little Betty Jenning’s, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. 8. Jennlng, a near neigh­ bor, whose birthday occurs tomor­ row. Miss Betty will be eight and she and her parents were among the dinner guests. The cold weather, bad roads and illness conspired to disrupt the usual plan for the gath­ ering and prevented teveral ot the out of town relatives from coming. Charles Fowler is a former resident of Nashville and came to Battle Creek a few years ago to reside with his son. He is unusually well pre­ served for a man ot bls years and of­ ten accompanies Dr. Fowler on trips, especially when he conducts drills. Among the many gifts and.flower* re­ ceived by him yesterday were remem­ brances from friends he had made on these trips.—Battle Creek Enquirer and Evening News. Jim (“Slippery Jim”) Cushway, whom wardens in a dozen state pris­ ons have declared to be the hardest man «o keep within the prison walls Is about to take another ride. Prison physicians at the state prison at Marquette, where Jim is serving a five year sentence, have pronounced the elusive burglar a victim of tubercu­ losis and have recommended that as soon as the new hospital at Ionia is completed be be transferred for treatment. It is said that it Is doubtful if he will recover. The Ionia hospital is being built by the state as a place where all tubercular prisoners in state institutions can be treated. Cushway will be one of 18 men transferred from Marquette prison. It will.be an unusual trip for "Slippery Jim” and will mark the beginning of the hardest fight of his life—to regain lost health. Cush­ way is said to be little more than a skeleton of the man who has escaped from 12 prisons and from one of them, the Michigan State Prison at Jackson, five times. He ha* left prisons by climbing over walls at night and m the day time. Oncfc he came out in box, once through the roof from the attic of a cell block, and once ho escaped from Bing Sing by converting a knife into four keys. —Saranac Advertiser. 20c, 22c and 29c yard | !

A clean­ er, more conscientious or an abler candidate could not be named. He made a model prosecutor, careful in expenses, vigilant In effort to convict the guilty. Mr. Dann was associat­ ed with Judge Jacob L. McPeek in law practice when the latter was judge of probate, and has always had a large probate practice. No lawyer in the county, excepting Judge May­ nard, who held the office four years, is probably so well versed in probate practice aa. he. He Is that type of man with whom one feels at per­ fect ease and from whom one is sure to get just such counsel as one would get from an own father.

Its windows are handled so as to prevent the over­ hanging porch celling from darkening the Interior. This porch, by the way.

Many a year passed before there was any other of a magnitude worthy of the economist's attention. England was the first country of Europe to take up smoking, and the practice grew with such rapidity that there was, very soon, a constant and great demand for tobacco. .

A few months later the corn smut In the bags was substituted for the regular sflage ration and fed to a Holstein heifer at the rate of 18 to 80 pounds a day.

One of the most outstanding exinanity’s respect and esteem for a f*Uow-townsman has been, shown by the citizenship of Charlotte during the past few days for Judge R. R. McPeek. When it became known in Charlotte that putrescent propagan­ da had been circulated in Barry ■county reflecting on Judge McPeak's character and standing, the people of the city and surrounding country rallied en masse to his support in an effort to counteract any. pernicious effect the scurrillous letters might have had. Practically every prominent citizen of Charlotte promptly and indignantly signed a certificate to the splendid character of Mr. McPeek. and the democrats were about as prominently identified with the move­ ment as the members of Mr. McPoek’s own political party. Even men who had been ardent supporters of Judge Dann renounced their al­ legiance to him and clamored for the privilege of signing tho document. Furthermore, half of tho automobiles in Charlotte were freely offered for service in the spreading of the con­ tradiction .of the propaganda, and men without number, business and professional men, manufacturers, clerks and laborers, as well as farm­ ers, dropped their work and gladly devoted their time to folding and mailing circulars, driving to al’, parts of the district, making a house to house canvass of the cities, villages and towns, and doing everything in their power to clean up the slime they felt had been cast upon their community through unclean poli­ tics. ’ If Judge McPeek never has the Lcnor ot sitting upon the bench in the c.Vcult court of this district, he has been given a much higher honor in the dramatic and soul-stirring ac­ tion of his neighbors and friends in dropping all their ordinary avoca­ tions to show their loving devotion to him and their willing service in his defense. It was a tribute such as few men have had tendered to them, while living, and the memory of it must lighten the dark hours of life for him as long as be lives.

A man lacking any of the qualifications of genuine manhood and upstanding Americanism could never have inspired such an immed­ iate and impromptu demonstration. Business in Charlotte was practical­ ly suspended, in nearly all lines, while every energy was bent to the prompt and efficient counteraction of ■the miasmatic germs. And the work was done with such an energy of love and loyalty that we doubt if n(any voters of the entire district failed to learn of the maliciousness of the attack before the dawn of elec­ tion day. And while The News goes to press too early to give the result of tho primary, we shall be disap­ pointed to the honesty and integri­ ty of the electorate of the district if Judge Russell R. McPeek. Iqylngly known in his own home town ““ "Roy” McPeek, does not have an erwhelujing majority when the turns come in. the council might be willing to move the adoption of such an ordinance, and another man retiring might sup­ port it, but there la a natural hesi­ tancy on the part of tho men who are holding over to vote for It, for four they might be accused of voting a salary fortheir own benefit. Nevertheless, such an ordinance should be passed, and no citizen qr taxpayer of .the village should criti­ cize such action if taken. Many Michigan villages have such an ordinance and have for years paid salrles to their president and the members of the common codncil, in compllance with the law. Very recently one Michigan village held a mass meeting at which it was demanded of the common council that they enact such an ordinance. That village, was Bangor, in Van Buren county, a town about the size of Nashville. The peopie there realized that the members of the common council should re­ ceive some remuneration for their services and gave them instructions to pass such an ordinance. We beHere Nashville should follow suit. Such an ordinance could reasonsbly be passed by the present council, without giving just cause for critlclam. Four of its members are retiring, five with the president. Two are not candidates for re-election. The enactment of such an ordinance for the benefit of their successors should meet with the approval of every good citizen. iiiinniiiiiiniimiii..........

The great, curtained room In Its terrifying dis­ order was brightly lighted, empty, ab­ solutely still. . She had given direc­ tions that, except for the removal of Blatchford's body, all must be left as It was ,ta the room till the arrival of the police: She stood an Instant with hands pressed against her breast, star­ ing down at tbs spots upon the floor. Was one of them Eaton’s? Something within her told her that It was. and the fierce desire to go to him, to help him, waa all she felt Jnst now. .It wan Donald Avery’s and her father’s accusation of Eaton that had . made her feel like this. She had been feeling, the moment before Donald bad spoken, that Philip Eaton had played uixm her that evening In mak­ ing her take him to hia confederate In the ravine in order to plan and con ■ummate something here. Above her grief and horror at the killing of her cousin nnd the danger to her father, had riser the anguish of her guilt with Eaton, the agony of her betrayal. But their accusation that Eaton bad killed Wallace Blatchford, seeing him. knowing him—In the light—had swept •n that away; all there was of her seemed to have risen In denial of that. -Before her eyes, half shut, she saw again tbe Ifody of her cousin Wallace lying in its blood on the floor, with her fattier kneeling beside It, his blind eyes raised Id helplessness to the light; bqt she saw now another body too—Eaton’s—not here—lying some where In the bare, wind-swept woods, allot down by those pursuing him. She looked at the face of the clock and then down to the pendulum to see whether It had stopped; but the pen­ dulum was swinging. The hands stood at half past one o’clock; now she re­ called that, in her first wild gaze about the room when she rushed in with the others, she had seen the hands showing a minute or so short of twenty minutes past one. Not quite a quarter-of an hour had passed since the alarm I The pursuit could not have moved far away. She reopened the window through which the pur­ suers bad passed and stepped out onto tbe dark-lawn. A half mile down the beach she heard shouts and a shot; ■he saw dimly through the night in that direction a boat without lights moving swiftly out upon ^be lake. Her hands clenched and pressed against her breast; she stood strain­ ing at the sounds of the man hunt. It had turned west,-it seemed; it waa coming back her way. but to the west of tbe house. She crossed the lawn toward the garage. A light suddenly ■hone out there, and she went on. The wide door at the car driveway was pushed open, and someone was within working over a car. His back was toward her. and he was bent over the engine, but, at the glance, she knew him and recoiled, gasping. It wta Eaton. He turned at the same instant and Raw her. “Oh; It’s you!” he cried to her. Her heart, which almost had ceased to heat, raced her pulses again. At tbe sound she had made on the drive­ way, he had turned to her as a hunted thing, cornered, desperate, certain that whoever came must be against Mm. Hia cry to her had recognized her as the only one who could come and not be against him; it hnd hailed her with relief aa bringing him help. He could not have rried out so at that instant at sight of her If he had been guilty of what they had accused. Now she saw too. as he*faced her. blood flow­ ing over his fare; blood soaked a shoulder of his coat, and his left arm dangling at his side; but now. as he threw back his head and straightened In his relief at finding lr was she who had surprised him. she saw In him an exultation and excitement she had never aeen before—something which her presence alone could not have ransed.

A glance at Hugh told that he also hnd seen It. “A Are?” she referred to him. “Looks like IL" They said no more as they rushed on; but the red glow was spreading, and yellow flames soon were In sight ■hooting higher and higher; these were clouded off for an instant only to appear flaring higher again, and the breeze brought the smell of sea­ soned wood burning.

Those satisfactions come from either rendering the serv­ ice to one’s fellows or enjoying the service that the past has rendered to us. In thousands of ways the poorest of us can render service to others. But the ability to appreciate that service is a different matter. That requires cultivation. To /njoy knowledge we must have a trained mind; to appre­ ciate works of art we must have a trained taste.

"The European monarchs of old did some wonderful things—for themselves. We are our own masters and can do what we have a mind to." Mr. Moore urged Kansas City to do something big, to get beyond “small plans." "Any plans we make, our sons and grandsons will find too small,” he ex­ plained..

Von Furniss, you will agree with, us, we are sure, Is just one of those very birds. Well. Von is chairman of the republican committee for Castleton township, and when he commenced to talk with the boys In the bank last Saturday about getting over to the caucus that afternoon, no one corrected him, al­ though all of them knew the caucus was called for Saturday of this week, the 10th, instead of the 3d. So Von fumed around to get his work out of the way and to get all set for the caucus, and along towards two o'clock he slipped on his hat and coat and beat it for the Park theatre. He rushed up to the door and was going right In, only tho door was locked. Von was righteously in­ dignant and he hustled right over and hunted up Manager Sprague and asked him why the room wasn’t open and a fire built. Howard asked him what for and Von replied "For the republican caucus, of course.” And he plumb wilted when Howard came back at him with "Caucus, nothing; the caucus isn’t until a week from today."

The gambrel roof gives the greatest possible hay storing space. As it stands, the dimensions of the barn are IMS feet by 100 feet, with arrangements to care for 50 cowa. The silo, 14 feet in diameter, lias a capacity in proportion. Carrier tracks serve the silage from the silo along the entire length of the center feed alley. Two hay chutes open from the floor above at handy Intervals, making the filling of the mangers an easy task. There are drinking fountains and a regular mtnply of fresh water always available. Well-placed ducts feed the fresh air from the inlets into tbe interior at regular intervals, and the foul air shafts, likewise conveniently located. bage are foods which the laborer or The struggle had been hard the whole outdoor worker may eat freely, as day through; such food is necessary.

According to these teachers of a former day. crystal was Ice which had undergone a peculiar process of Induration so as to totally lose Its power of being melted. In fact, Pliny, support'.ng, one error with another, states that crystal is found only In countries which are extremely rnld. Up to some two bun­ deed years ago this Idea about the formation of the substance still persisted, for Sir Thomas Browne considers It worth while to pla«e it first and foremost among tbe "Vulgar Errors” which be sought to dissipate. Though the mistake is more amusing than dangerous, it la easy to see how it arose, for the Greek word chrystalloa, or Ice. J J t J t J quarts which closely resembles Ice. In n little time it was tacitly assumed that the two substances were tbe same—a belief which persisted for many years. AMERICAN HOUSES IN EUROPE Ex-Immigrants Who Return to Their Native Landa Copy Structures They Have Seen Here. In every country we « visited the changes in housing were the most ob­ vious expressions of changed stand­ ards of'returned immigrants. In Slovakia, next to the ex-immlgrant’s old tiny dwelling, stands a new one, built with money he earned in America. Loo-ing down on an Ital­ ian village, one can pick out from tbe roofs the houses of American!. In parts of southern Italy, one now sees hillsides dotted with small detached dwellings, telling the tale of savings os well as the liberation from the old custom of huddling together in towns, a remnant in Italy, as In other coun­ tries, from the days of brigandage. Unfortunately, the new "American" houses are often unattractive—too ilk* the models they, copy. Occasionally, however, the reverse is true. One ce­ ment house, for Instance, has propor­ tions much like an old New England colonial farmhouse. And, sure enough, the owner had patterned it after the dwelling on bls employer's farm in Massachusetts. In Albania, the city of Korcha—al­ most the whole adult male popula­ tion of which bad been In the United State®—presented interesting adapts-* tions of American architecture; now an iron paling Instead of the old walls, cow a garden fronting on the street, expressed the feeling of ex-lmmigrants that “houses look friendlier without walls. And now that we’re an inde­ pendent nation, and the Turks and Greeks aren’t pouncing In on us, we don’t need walls.”—Viola I. Paradise and Helen Campbell in Harper’s Mag­ azine. T THE ROMANCE OF WORDS advantage of not only securing a very sound sub-structure, but a very warm dairy barn. One little touch, unimportant in it­ self. but pleasing, nevertheless. Is the way by which a break in the monotony of the appearance of the tiled silo has been accompHslied through the use of tile of a different color. Properly erected and given ordinary care, there is do reason why a dairy barn like this should not only be high­ ly profitable, but a show place and an Inspiration to others In the locality to go and build likewise.

Although people drink large quanti­ ties of ice water in summer, they do not like it In cold weather. But the only ice water that dairy cows get is in winter, and they like it then as little as do human beings, according to C. R. Gearhart, extension dairyman of the Kansas State Agricultural col­ lege. Cows producing milk, require large quantities of water. They will di­ minish their milk flow rather than drink cold water so often furnished them. Water which Is stored in tanks In winter should be warmed with a tank heater, says Mr. Gearhart. These are mnde to burn coal, wood, or corncobs. When only one or two cows are to be watered, a teakettle of boiling water will take the chin off of the half bar­ rel of water necessary for them. GRADING OF CREAM IS URGED Surest Means of Producing Good But. ter, Says Dairy Specialist at University Farm. Pointing out that cream grading Is the surest means of producing good butter, A. Jl McGuire, dairy specialist with the university agricultural exten­ sion service, adds that Eastern mar­ kets are scoring butter doser than ever before. "There is real competi­ tion," he says, "for the best markets, and If co-operative creameries are to hold such markets they must make good butter and see that It Is sold aw such. A cream-cooling tank on every farm makes cream grading easier, both for creamery men and for patrons. Are you urging cream cooling and cleanli­ ness of cream separators? This should precede cream grading.” METHOD FOR FEEDING COWS Dusty Haye or Feeds That Are Liable to Taint Milk, Should Be Given After Milklpg. Hays that are dusty or feeds that . are liable to taint milk should be fed after the cow is milked. A fine method for feeding is to feed hay three times a day and silage and grain twice.

And what make* It a particularly happy pastime Is due to the fact you are identified with a bunch of “Good Fellows’’ when you work with the Boosters of s community. Before going further we want you folks tp atop and read-the list of Nashville Business Men whose names are ap­ pended hereto. You will be impressed with the fact that these people are REAL BOOSTERS OF NASHVILLE in every sense of the word. And there are many more just like them, both in the business and citizen life of Nashville. You will also agree, with us, friends, that these Business Finns, and In fact all the business people of Nashville are not only good Boosters but dependable, servants of our purchasing public who are anxious and ready to serve you with merchandise and service at prices and involving quality they can afford to stand back of. THAT WILL MAKE THEM REALLY WORTHY OF YOUR PATRONAGE AS NEIGHBOR WITH NEIGHBOR. But buck to Boosting. The thought occurs to us that YOU CAN’T SAW WOOD WITH A HAM ME Rr- The particular “ham­ mer” we are referring to is the one used when a person spends money away from his own community for purchases THAT CAN BE MADE JUST AS SATISFACTORILY AT HOME. It is the same hammer that has beaten into insensibility the towering hopes of many hustling American towns that would have other­ wise made cities worthy the name. In other words, however small the habit of some Nashville citizens may be in spending their money away from our village, TO JUST THAT EXTENT ARE THEY OBSTRUCTING THE PATH to 'the big.* wonderful goal we have elected for ourselves. It is not the desire of the Nashville Business Men to dictate to you good people in this matter. They are more than appre­ ciative of your fine patronage of the past and their anticipation of the future is only Inspired by their eager desire to make pos­ sible a Great Forward Movement for Nashville and Nashville • property owners and citizens. .

The Lowell high sebbol basketball team visited Nashville Friday night and went away victors by a score of 14 to 10. It was a peculiar game in many respects and. one hard to lose as the locals were defeated “solely through their inability- to locate the basket. Their team work was good enough to win the game, but after carrying the ball within shooting distance throw after throw went wild. The visitors took the lead right on the start, and kept adding to it un­ til the score stood 10 to 0 at the end of the first half. The third quarter witnessed a change, however, the locals speeding zip their game ahd taking four field goals while Lowell was held scoreless. Loweil added two baskets to their list in the last session, while -Nashville was getting one. but the result was in doubt un­ til the last seconds of play as the cal boys were in possession of th< ball moat of the time and kept bouncing it off the edge of the bas­ ket. It was a remarkably clean game —free from roughness or any fla­ grant violations of the rules, and not a single personal foul was called throughout the contest. Merle Vance, who was home from the U. of M„ was the referee. Preceding the high school game, the Independents defeated the high school reserves in a live game by a score of 12 to 4. On Friday evening of this week some benefit games are being, ar­ ranged to raise funds -to sent! the high school quintet to the tourna­ ment at Kalamazoo next week. The Independents will oppose the high school boya, a Hastings Y. M. C. A. tearm will play the high school re­ serves, and there will probably be a girls* game also.

GUARANTEED not to rust, break or tear Will Be Held at Presbyterian Church St Hastings, Monday and Tuo' day, March 19-SO. HE new Spring Clothes are such a temptation to every woman who loves pretty things—and sometimes she cannot afford quite all she wants. So we are suggesting a real economy—a corset which is dependable in style and fit and which gives won­ derful service in Jong wear. Th'e prices of Warner’s are not only unusually low, but they are even lower when you consider how long one of these corsets will last and that it can be washed again and again to be just as good as new. We are showing plenty of styles from which to select your model. MONDAY EVENING 6.00-7.30—Registration and as­ signment for entertainment. 7.30—General session: Leon Scott, presiding.

But whatever he had done, whatever ho might be. she knew bls fate was hers now; for she had given herself to him utterly. She had told that to herself as she fled and pursued with him that night; she had told it to him; she later hnd told It—though she had not meant to yet—to her father.

Some habits are opposed to noble growth, such as Indolence, indifference t.» lofty impressions. forgetfulness, the acquirement of ragged tempers, vul­ gar speech. failure to adapt one’s self to nevi circumstances,* fault-finding and the common habit of thinking evil ■of one’s friends and neighbors. There are hundreds of such habits which are opposed to the development •of the best there la In us. ruinous alike tu our future careers and con- By following a train of wrong ideas again and again, we gradually lose «ur ability to distinguish evil from good. We liecome skeptical, cynical, nar­ row. and unless by some fortunate riisebvery we see the falsity of our position before It Is too late to mend; we find ourselves In company with the grouches, sour-fa ceil and fault­ finder*.

Because You Are Over-Ambitious? “You work too hard," “you play too little.” “you aren’t Interested lu anything but your work.” "we uilsa you at our house." “you hever shew up any more"—nil an*d more of these things are said to yon? Aren’t tht^r? Well, may­ be you are getting a bit lupsldeil. This, of course, you have to de­ ckle for yourself. Being ambi­ tions never hurt anyone. Yon can’t arrive «>n any other train, nnd It isn’t a purlorcnr train, eftlier; It Is the long workman’s train and It takes the sacrifice of the things to which your friends say you never afoiear. When you have a goal you are happiest when you are on "the way”— parties look smell and everything else looks Insignificant. All well and good. Nothing Is so marvel­ ous as the path of the ambitious to the ambitious, but- you must never forget that to be too one­ sided may block and turn over your «-ar. Getting there is ynur busineM and laughter never hurt tl»e really sincere. Your Get-away here la: To get the best out of your life, you have the right to choose the right thinge to leave out. It is entirely up to you and no one'e affair but yours. or her friends, can. hope to without first overcoming hla degrading habits. . To do this'there must be formed the practice of mental watchfulness with a will powm* behind It capable of moving always in the right direc­ tion. The fixed tilsppaftion to do n thing comes from numerous* repetitions. It Is by such a process that good or bad customs are formed, which ultimately take to the bright hilltops nr down the darfr yitliey of failure and dis­ couragement. (hie of the good habits to form in youth Is that of attention, especially in regard to advice from parents^ •who know from experience ‘ ‘ needed for the stimulation 'ing minds. . This applies with like force to everybody In all stations of life, and especially to those who are defendant on others. The habit of giving Intense atten­ tion to orders/'however trivial, and remembering them when Ihs time ar­ rives for their execution, marks rhe difference between the competent I he Incompetent, the foolish, and the wise, those who are destined for life servitude and those who are destined to lead.

EDITORIAL “KING" BENJAMIN IN TROUBLE A suit on trial in the federal court at Grand Rapids thio week against Benjamin Pursell and Mary, his wife, is arousing much interest _ in Michi­ gan, following as it does ‘so closely epon revelations made by two young women of Detroit, former’ members of “King" Benjamin’s colony of “Flying Rollers” at Benton Harbor. The suit now on trial at Grand Rap­ ids is brought by Mr. and Mrs. John Hensel, former members of the col­ ' ony, to recover >80,000’which they claim is coming to them, from the Pursells. The "House of David” has long been a prominent feature of com­ munity life in Berrien county, and there have been, from time to time, many criticisms of the methods of life in the colony. Tho "Long-hairs,” as they are commonly called, are prosperous financially and strong politically in Berrien county, and they have never been interfered with to any extent by the local authorities, although they are likely in now for « thorough investigation, possibly by state authorities. If tho stories told by tho two De­ troit girls are true, tho "House of David” is a shameful blot on tho fair name of Michigan, and it should be blotted out and the principals brought to punishment. On the other hand. If there la, as is claimed by "King" Benjamin, absolutely nothing to theeo stories, then "King" Benjamin and his followers should welcome the most thorough investigation.

The dis­ tance from the bridge to the place where the men be was following had got out of tbelr *ootot. he had thought to be about two miles; but when he had been traveling more than an hour, he had not yet reached it. Then, suddenly be came upon the road for which h^ waa looking; somewhere to the east along It was the place he sought. He crouched as near to the road as be Vlared and where he could look up and down It. This being a. main road, was guarded. A motor­ car with armed men in it passed him. and presently repassed, evidently patrollng the road: Its lights showed him a man with a gun standing at the first bend of tbe road to the east. Eaton drew farther back and moved parallel to the road but far enough away from It to be hidden. A qua’rter of a mile further he found a second man. Tbe motorcar, evidently, whs pa troll ng only to this pointanother car was on duty beyond this. As Eaton baited, this second car ap­ proached. and was halted, backed and turned. Its headlights swept through the woods and revealed Eaton. The man standing In tbe mad cried out the alarm and fired at Eaton point blank; he fired a second and third time. Eaton fled madly back Into the shad­ ow; as he did so. he heard tbe men crying to one another and leaping from the car and following him. He retreated to tbe woods, went further along and came back to the road, ly­ ing flat up* n his face again and wait­ ing till some other car In passing should give him light to see. Eaton, weak and dizzy gfrorn his wounds and confused by darkness and bls struggle through the woods, had no exact Idea how long It bad taken him to get to this place; but he knew that it could have been hardly less than two hoars since be had left Har­ riet. Tbe men he was following, therefore, had that much start of him. and this made him wild with im­ patience but did not discourage him. His own wounds, Eatun understood, made his escape practically impossi­ ble, because any one who saw him would at once challenge and detain him: and the other man was still more seriously wounded. It was not his es­ cape that Eatun feared; It was con­ cealment of him. The man had been taken from the car because his condi­ tion was so serious that there was no hope of hiding it; Eaton thought he must be dead.' He erjtected to find the body concealed under dead leaves, hurriedly hidden. The night bad cleared a little; to the north, Eaton could see stars. Sud­ denly the road and the leafless bushes at its sides flashed out In the bright light of a motorcar passing. Eaton strained forward. He had found the place be sought; there was no doubt a car had turned off tbe road some time before and stopped there. Tbe passing of many cars had so tracked the road that none of the men In the motors seemed to have noticed any­ thing of significance there; but Eaton saw plainly in .(he soft ground at tbe edge of the woods the footmarks of two men walking one behind tbe other. When the car had passed, he crept forward in the dark and fingered the distinct beel and joe marks In the soft solL For a little distance he csuid follow them by feeling; then as they led him Into the edge of the woods the ground grew harrier and he could do longer follow them In that .way. It was plain to him what had oc­ curred; tws men had got out of the car here and had lifted out and car­ ried away a third. He knelt where he could feel the last footsteps he could detect and looked around. Tbe wound In his shoulder no long­ er bled, but the pain of It twinged him through and through; bls bead throbbed with the hurt there; his feet were raw and bleeding where sharp roots and branches had cut through bis socks and torn the flesh; his skin was hot and dry with fever, and his head swam. There was not yet light enough to see any distance, but Eaton, accus­ tomed to the darkness and bending clone to the ground, could discern the footmarks even on tbe harder soil. They Jed away from the road’into the wood*. On the rotted leaves and twigs was a dark stain; a few steps beyond there was another. Eaton picking up a leaf and fingering II knew that they were blood. So the man was not dead when he had been lifted from the car. But he bad been hurt desperately, was unable to help himself, waa probably dying; If there had been any hope for him. his com­ panions would Dot be carrying him in this way away from any cnance of surgical attention. Eaton followed, as the tracks led through the woods. Tbe men had gone very slowly, carrying this heavy weight. They had stopped frequently to rest and had laid their burden down. Tlgn suddenly lie came to a place where plainly a longer bait had, been made. The gromid was trampled around this spot; when tbe tracks went on they were changed in character. The two men were still carrying the third —-a heavy man whose weight strained them and made tbelr feet sink In deeply where the ground was soft. But now they were not. careful how they carried him. but went forward merely ns though I waring a oeau weight. Now. too. no more stains ap­ peared on the brown leaves where they had passed; their burden do longer bled. Eaton, realizing whet this meant, felt neither exultation nor surprise. He had known that the man they carried, though evidently alive when taken from the car, was dying. But now he watched the tracks more closely even than before, look­ ing for them to show hlin where the men had got rid of their burden. . It was quite plain what hud oc­ curred; the wet sand below whs tram­ pled by the feet of three or four men and cut by a boai’x bow. They Iih<! taken the body away with them in the boat. To sink It somewhere weighted with heavy stones in the deep water? Eaton's search was hopeless how. But It could nut be so; It must not be sol Eaton's eyes searched fever­ ishly the shore and the lake. But there wax nothing In sight upon either. He crept back from the edge of the blnfi, hiding beside a fallen log banked with dead leaves. What was It he had said to Harriet? “I 'will come back to you—as you have never known me before!" He rehearsed the words In mockery. How Would he re­ turn to her now? As he moved, h tierce, hot pain from the clotted wound In his shoulder shot him through and through with agony and the silence and darkness of unconsciousness over­ whelmed him. or (bought of him. she trusted him; she was proud of her love for him. “May I take the picture?" she asked steadily. “Do whatever you want with it." her father answered quietly. And so she took It with her. She found a servant of whom she Inquired for Avery; be bad not returned so abe sent for him.. She went down to the deserted library and waited ther? with the picture of Hugh In her band. Tbe day had drawn to dusk. She could no longer see the picture in tbe fading light; abe could only recall it; and now. as she recalled It, the pic­ ture itself—not her memory of her father’s manner In relation to It— gave her vague discomfort. She got up suddenly, switched on the light and, bolding the picture close to It, studied It. Wbat It was In the pic­ ture that gave her this strange un­ easiness quite separate and distinct from all that she had felt when she first looked at It. she could not tell; but the more she studied It, the more troubled and frightened she grew. The picture wax a plain. - unre­ touched print pasted upon common square cardboard without photogra­ pher’s emboss or signature; and printed with the picture, were four plain, distinct numerals—8233. She did not know what they meant or If they had any real significance, but somehow now she * was more afraid for Hugh than she had been. She trembled aa she held the picture again to her cheek and then to her Ups. She turned; some one had come in from the hall; It was Donald. She saw at her first glance at him that his search had not yet succeeded and she threw her head back in relief. See­ ing the light, he had looked Into the library Idly; but when he saw her, he approached her quickly. “What have you there?*’ he demand­ ed of her. She flushed at the tone. "What right have you to ask?" Her Instant Impulse had been to conceal the pic­ ture, but .that would make it seem she CHAPTER XXII Not Eaton—Overton. Santolne awoke at five o'clock. The blind man felt strong and steady; he had food brought him; while he was eating It. his messenger returned. Santolne saw the man alone and. when hr had dismissed him, he sent for his daughter. Harriet went up to him fearfully. The blind man seemed calm and quiet; a thin, square packet lay on tbe bed beside him; he held it out to her without speaking. She snatched It In dread; the shape of the.packet and the manner in which it was fastened told her It must be a photograph. "Open It.’’ her father directed. “What is it you want to know. Fa­ ther?" she asked. "That is the picture of Eaton?" “Yes." “I thought so." She tried to assure herself of the shade of the meaning in her father's tone; but she could not She under­ stood that her recognition of the pic­ ture bad satisfied him In regard to something over which he had seen In doubt; but whether this was to work In favor of Hugh and herself—she thought of herself now inseparably with Hugh—or whether It threatened them, she could Dot tell. “Father, what does this mean?" abe cried to him. , “Wbst, dear?" "Your having tbe picture. Where did you get It?" • “I knew where it might be. I sent for IL" ' "But—but. Father—" It came to her now that her father must know who Hugh was. "Who—" “I know who he is now," her fa­ ther said calmly. "I will tell you when I can." "When you ran?” “Yes." he said. "Where is Avery T' as though his mind had gone to an­ other subject instantly. “He has not been In, I believe, since noon." “He is overseeing the search for Eaton?" -Yes." "Send for hip. Tell him I wish to see him here at the house; be Is to remain within tbe bouse until I have seen him." Something in her father's tone startled and perplexed her; she thought of Donald now only as the most eager and most vindictive of Eaton's pursuers. Wap her father removing Donald from among those seeking Eaton? Was he sending for blm because what he bad just learned was something which would make more rigorous and desperate the search? Tbe blind man's look and manner told her nothing., "You mean Donald la to wait here until you send for him. Father?" “That is IL" It was the blind man's tone of dis­ missal. He seemed to have forgotten the picture; at least, as his daughter moved toward tbe door, he gave no direction concerning it. She halted, looking back at him. She would not carry the picture away, secretly, like tills. She was not ashamed of tier love for-Eaton; whatever might be said was ashamed of It; she held it so Don­ ald could see it if he looked. He did look and auddenly seized the picture from her. "Where did you get this, Harriet?’’ । "Don 1" “Where did you get It?" he repeat­ ed. "Are you ashamed to say?” "Ashamed? Father gave It to me*!" -Your father!" Avery started; but if anything bad caused him apprehen­ sion, it Instantly-disappeared. “Then didn’t he tel) you who thia man Eaton is? Wbat did be say to you?" “What do you mean. Don?" He put tbe picture down on tbe table beside him and. as she rushed for it, he seized both her hands opd held her before him. "Harry, dear I" he said to her. “Harry, dear—" “Don’t call me that! Don’t speak to me that wayl" She struggled to free herself from him. -I know, of course," he said. "It’s, because of him." He jerked his head* toward tho picture on the table; the mlnner made her furious. “Let me go, Don!" “Tin sorry, dear." He drew her to him, held her only closer. “Don; Father wants to see you I He wanted to know when be came In; be will let you know when you can go to him." "When did he tell you that? When he gave you the picture?" "Tea." Avery had almost let ber go; now be held her bard again. “Then he wanted me to tell you, about this Eaton." "Why should he have you tell me about—Mr. Eaton?" “You knowl" be said to her. “What have you to say about him. Donald r "You must never think of him again, dear; you must forget, him forever!” "Donald, 1 am not a child. K you have something to aay which you con­ sider hard for me to hear, tell It to me at once." "Very well. Perhaps that is best. Dear, either th lawman whom you have known as Eaton will never be found or. If be Is found, he cannot be let to live. Harry, have you never seen a picture with the numbers primed In below like that? Can't you guess yet where your father must have sent for that picture? Don’t you know wbat those numbers mean?" "What do they mean?" “They are tbe figures of his num­ ber in what is called The Rogues’ Gallery.’ And they mean be has com­ mitted a crime and been tried and convicted of ft; they mean in this case that he has committed a.murder!" “A murder!"

Her father had come Into the room. And as she saw bls man­ ner and bls face she knew that what Avery had just told her was the truth. She shrank away from them. Her bands went to her face and hid It. She knew now why it was that fjer father, on hearing Hugh's voice, had be­ come curious about him, had tried to place the voice in Ills recollection— the voice of a prisoner on trial for his i life, beard only for an Instant but fixed upon his mind by tbe circum­ stances attending IL though those cir­ cumstances afterward had been for­ gotten. She knew why sbe, when she hnd gazed at the picture a few minuter, before, bad been disturbed and fright­ ened at feeling It to be a kind of pic­ ture unfamiliar to her and threatening her with something unknown and ter­ rible. She knew* the reason now for a score of things Hugh had said to her, for the way he had looked many times when she had spoken to him. It ex­ plained all that! It seemed to her.

Another bill sponsored by this League has been presented by Rep.

The abbreviation q. v. stands for the Latin phrase quod vide, meaning “which see.” It notifies thd reader that an article will be found con­ cerning tbe word it follows, .in the alphabetical place it should occupy. O stands for circa, meaning “about.” It is used to** explain the fact that the exact date of a happening Is uot known, that it was, for example, about 1000, c 1600. D Is tbe abbreviation for “died." It Is generally employed when the date of death but not of birth is known. . Wolverine Trapper’s Enemy. The wolverine Is the greatest ene­ my of the trapper, and an Indian will often give up a trapline, when he finds a wolverine on his trail. The animal follows his tracks, visiting all the traps, eating or tearing up every­ thing caught In them, besides break­ ing into camps, from which it car­ ries away utensils and food alike, de­ filing what it cannot carry or what Is nailed down. ■ / • No Chance for Her. “You ought to choose the time for asking money from your husband.

The fact was, the more she had thought about it, the longer she had procrastinated. She bad been a sort of misfit at home. Her father, al! her aunts and uncles, the townspeople themselves had shaken tbelr heads and' prophesied a bad end for her. Why? Anne had gone away to gee a job in the “movies" after a temperamental career in the old home town. And Dobody knew that Madge Beauty, tbe fa­ mous film actress, was really Anne. You see, Anne looked quite different on the screen. They had been four bright, hectic years—and yet there had been times when Anne would have inrapped thejp all for a home, a nlce.-qulet home In the quiet country. With whom? Oh. Bonnie, she supposed. Ronnie and Anne had been sweeth>-:iris from the day when Ronnie knocked down SI Fincher for pulling Anne's curls. Ronnie and she had kissed each other in Lover's lane. Ron­ nie had given her a ring.- Then Anne and he had quart-eled, and she had gone away. However, they had written often, and Ronnie had been to see her twice In tbe city. Impossible man that he was, Ronnie would peygr take “no." And he wore such a hurt look when she refused him. Poor Ronnie I “If Ronnie oqly knew just when and how to take me. he might—perhaps," reflected Anne. * He had a determined Life From The Side Lines i By Fike During a performance of “Hearts ^.flame” at the Park theatre one night last jreek, one of tbe ecenes showed one of the-boya of tho lum­ ber camp coming into camp pretty well pickled. Some of the other fellows, disgusted with him, picked him up and threw him up into one of a number of bunks ranged up the side of the room. A little girl spectator convulsed the audience by audibly remarking "They put him in the cupboard, didn't they?" Mack, in the daylord Herald and Times, tells of a boy In his town who waa afflicted with adenoids. The mother kept hoarders. One of them met tbe boy in the hall and asked him why he was not in school. The boy replied that the teacher .had sent him home because he had ad­ enoids. “Isn't your mother going to have them removed?” asked the boarder. “Why, she didn’t have the money, but now Dr. Jones is boarding here sbe thinks perhaps he'll .sat 'em out.” Gold is being mined in Germany, for the first tlmo in over 300 years.

It was on March 27, 1865, that Grant opened his big of­ fensive on the Richmond-Petersburg front, which eventually resulted, on April 2, in the surrender of Lee and his armies at Appomatox and. the close of the civil war. These two men are Jack Hinckley and Webb Cole, both of whom were active par­ ticipant* In the engagement. John Wertz, anr her Nashville man, now deceased, was also a participant In tbl* historical event, and it was in this engagement Mr. Wertz received a shell wound In his head which made him a semi-invalid for the rest of hl* day*. The battle was one of the largest and hardest of the entire war, the fighting being Incessant, day and night, until the night of Ap­ ril 1-2, when Grant's forces succeed­ ed in turning Lee's left flank, with the capture of 10,000 prisoners, and rendering Lee’s position so untenable that he was forced to surrender.

Several good citizens from the northwestern part of Castleton town? ship have expressed their pleasure with our editorial of two weeks ago in regard to establishing a polling place more convenient to the voters of their section of tho township. They claim that many times it la practically Impossible for them to got to Nashville to vote at the an­ imal township election in the spring, and that it is a real hardship for them to come so far, even when the roods aro fairly good. Tho same conditions prevailed when their poll­ ing place was at Morgan, which was very hard for them to get to for the spring elections. We believe this is a matter which should be taken up at a public gathering, at which it could be discussed freely and fully, an-* we believe the township board should arrange for such a meeting, at some time during tho summer, when oil interested parties could be able to attend and discuss the matter in all its various aspects.

They advertise themselves.” White soap flakes, lb. 15c PUBLICITY A SAFEGUARD. The fact that newspaper publicity lx the greatest safeguard against the wasting or careless expenditure of public money is well elucidated in an article published elsewhere in this issue of The News. It is worthy of careful perusal by every taxpayer and every public servant. The article has no application locally insofar as it appllea to municipal affairs, for the common council, in its published proceedings, gives full accounting for all moneys expended. It Is of sig­ nificance, locally, however, as re­ gards to the proceedings of the school board. The local school board pub­ lishes the regular report of its an­ nual meeting, together with the financial statement, as required by law, but there is good reason why the full proceedings of each and ev­ ery one of their meetings should be published, although this is not oblig­ atory under the statute. The school board usually spends much more money in the course of the fiscal year than the common council doee, and the actions „of the board are of as vi­ tal Interest to the taxpaying public as are the proceedings of ’he common council, so why should they not be given the aame publicity? There is nb good, tenable reason why the meetings and the proceedings of the school board should be secret. The money the school board spends is your money and our money. The members of the school board are public servants. Their public acts in our behalf should be public property, and should- bo at all times open to the scrutiny ot every taxpayer. In such a way is the best safeguard for the proper and economical spending of our money. . The same thing njjplles as well to the proceedings ot our township boards. The full proceedings of ev­ en- meeting of every township board should bo given newspaper publici­ ty. for tho benefit of the taxpayers, that they may know when, how and tor what the • money Is spent, and what things the township board Is doing or proposes to do in the pub­ lic service. HERE'S A SERMON. Forrest Lord, publisher of tho Ot­ sego County Herald and Times, re­ cently went down to Lapeer and bought tho Lapeer Clarion, a news­ paper which has been published for many years by Congressman Cramp­ ton. Ho met with so cordial a re­ ception at Lepeer and found tho peo­ ple there so unanimously boosting for their town that when he return­ ed to Gaylord he made the following editorial comment, which - we com­ mend to every cititen ot Nashville for bis careful and thoughtful peru­ sal: FAITH. "Yes, sir,” said the barber, breaking the oppressive silence peculiar to barbers, on the occa­ sion of a recent visit to Lapeer. "You’ll like Lapeor. Fine town. Dandy town. Nice people. Good farmers. Excellent farming country. There isn’t any better town in Michigan.” Everywhere I went, on the street. In tho stores, at the Com­ mercial club, the praises of La­ peer were sung Into my ears un­ til inside of twenty-four hours I was made to feel that tho sun rises and sets on Lapeer and never ah.nes anywhere else. The people, tho stores, the farms and farmers, the civic spirit—every­ thing In Lapeer county, accord­ ing to the residents, is just a lit­ tle bit better than’ uiywhere else. * That kind of .iplrit can make a town or county. When every­ one speaks well of the place in which they live they unconscious­ ly take a greater pride in their surroundings and by constant repetition convince th&msolves.

It Is statcd.that the school boards of the,state spend <56.­ 000,000 and more every year of money that Is-raised by tax­ ation. The people of* these districts have a right to know for what and where this money goes. They have a right to know the proceedings of school boards. Obviously, people cannot all attend school board meetings, nor can they take the time to personally-examine the books nfihe officers who disburse tho money. There is only one way in wh’?h people can have the information they are entitled to in this import­ . ant matter of spending half tho tax money of the state, and that is by reading it in their local newspaper*, nt their leis­ ure. and thus have the facts filed away aho-rid they ever need them. ■ Likewise, some city and town councils are prone 1o go ahead transacting public business without .letting the public know what they arc doing unless the public happens to at­ tend council sessions. The law contemplates that people may know of tho councils' actions by reading a summary of the proceedings In their local newspapers, -and have a statement of the money spent by vote of the council at each regular or special session. Why should the people not have such Infor­ mation? It is their money the officials are spending, and of­ ficials are servants of, not masters of the people. Boards of supervisors almost uniformly give complete pub­ licity to tfielr transactions and account for all bills allowed by pointing the schedules of claims in the newspapers ns provided by law. Why should tht?y not? They are elected to serve the* people and the people hate a right to know. Newspapers are tho recognized and only available medium for complete publicity of affairs in any community. Headers look to them for all official* and general news. The state laws have wisely provided that boards of supervisors, city and town councils and school boards shall publish in newspapers Intelligent minutes of their meetings. For such boards to do less than the law requires is not to their credit, nor Is it good service to their constituents. Posting of board and official proceedings or. financial state­ ments on a barn door or in stairways of punllc buildings Is wasted energy and money both. It Is at least suspicious when officials either try to evade newspaper publicity or hide their reports In long typewritten or hand written sheets which many people cannot read, and all find inconvenient to study. The state laws provide for newspaper publicity and name a rate of pay Jor such space so low that there is no profit In the printing whatever, but there is a semi-news value in it that makes up partially for the lack of pay. Printing such reports without any pay would be too much of a burden to the publishers, or they would perhaps do that in many places. But at the low rate allowed, taxpayers are ablo for a few cents each to get all the facts of public boards when they can read«ln comfort and digest well the evidence as printed in the newspapers. Sometimes legislators with misguided notions of the Import• ance of the matter try to curtail publicity ot public affairs, k rather than to promote more of such publicity. They would be serving their constituents far better to help turn on the light, require full and fair accounting of money spent by public boards, and demand and enforce laws that will se­ cure such publicity at regular intervals, and when peqple want It, The newspapers of Michigan are standing by the interests of the people at every turn. They are the least paid and most used servants of tho public—often maligned and belit­ tled for their efforts in such service, It Is true—but never­ theless true and dependable recorders of the present day his­ tory of every community. If our officials and our people realize that It Is the record, the history of today, that each issue of the local newspaper presents, they will not permit of any curtailment of official publicity- in any transaction where the public taxes ar^lnvolved. All officials aro not dishonest or intending dishonesty where they fall to give publicity to their transactions. But that is not saying that many could not much easier and more safely become dishonest if all publicity of their acts could be kept -in the dark room or vaults, to be made difficult of access. In other words, it is much cheaper and better for the peo­ ple to pay a little for real newspaper publicity that reaches everybody than to pay a lot for prosecution of defaulting of­ ficials and for the loss of public funds after somebody has gone wrong.—Exchange. e.; Clothespins, dozen ....4c 10c grape juice niniiMimuniniiHiihmiiiuiiiiiiiuiiHUiniuHiiiiiHiuiinn|ffl,i,,iinu|ii|,ummi,n PUBLICATION OF TRANSACTIONS AND FIGURES PUBUO SERVANTS IS THE PUBLICS BEST , SAFEGUARD.

The essential feature of the furnace is an electric arc of great Intensity. When rock crystal, broken Into frag­ ments, is placed In the furnace It sim­ ply melts like so much ice, and in a few minutes the liquid thus formed be­ gins to boll. The vapor rising from the liquefied crystal is condensed Into a little bluishwhite cloud, from which tiny spheres of silica, glimmering with „opalescent hues, are deposited. These sphere*. aa already remarked, are similar to those found on arc-light globes. The latter, of course, are the product of a very slow and gradual process, while In the electric furnace the volatilization la effected with rapidity.—Washington Stag.

Result of Years of Work The development of the Ball-Bearing Primrose cream sep­ arator is the result of years of study and research work on the part of the most efficient yorps of engineers ever gathered together by the separator in­ dustry, and neither time nor expense have been spared in the development and perfection of this type machine. The resulting product, the lightest running, longest lived, and most efficient t'-am separator on the market, is now offered to the public, and—due to enormous increase in the sale of Primrose separators, the highly desirable ball-bear­ ing feature is incorporated without additional cost. You must see this new separator to appreciate -the many improvements. We have just received a nment of them and invite all interested parties to rz 1 at our store for a demonstration. W. B.

It was the Inst letter that summed up everything. “I realise too well my’ deficiencies, Luchin,” Emmeline wrote. “I am leav­ ing you tomorrow with Harry, and you will be free to gel your divorce. I ask nothing of you. I- do not blame you; we have simply been unfortun­ ate. "But I du gather one thing'from our. experience of. Married life to­ gether. Either the pair must share their Interests in common, or else there will be shipwreck. And, as a man cannot enter with enthusiasm into the Interests of the kitchen, It beltooves the woman to make her hus­ band's life and career her own. "I understand where I have erred. If things had not gone so far I would begin all over again. It is too late now. But, if you marry again, try to teach your wife that lesson. Good-by,” Mary stared at the letter. For a few moments she did not' take It all In. Emmeline—divorced—then Laclan had not cared for her. He had cared for herself. And it was not too lute— the message from the woman who had gone out of Lucian’s life had arrived just in time. • Softly Mary went to her room. She put on an old dress, high boots, her slouchiest hat. An hour later she met Lucian at the door. "Well, I’ve finished my worlt,” she said. “And I'ni sorry that I was cross this morning.

Frankbauser of Hillsdale, his suc­ cessor. died before taking office and Mr. Smith was called on to don the robes of office and again represent the people of his district. Mr. Smith was born in Ireland in 1853 and came to this country with his parents when bnt four years of age. In 1867 the tamll/moved into Eaton county, which has since been Mr. Smith’s home. He worked on the farm until he was 18, then took up the trade of a brick maaon, at which he worked for ten years. Then he went to the University of Michi­ gan, took the law course, was ad­ mitted to the bar in 1882 and opened an office in Charlotte, after which his rise to prominence and affluence was rapid. He was president of the First Na­ tional bank of Charlotte, was a mem­ ber of Charlotte Commandery, Knights Templar, - which organisa­ tion had charge of the funeral ob­ sequies. held Tuesday afternoon.

Shadow Is worth emphasizing In a house. A house with­ out pleasing shadow lines from the form of the structure js like a picture or piece of sculpture that is shadow­ less : Hr attractiveness Is greatly less­ ened. Even trees should be studied with relation to this Idea of shadow and how they can be made to em­ phasize the structural lines and ai»pearnnee of the house through their leafy silhouettes. However, this bungalow Is pleasing for another reason—It Is well designed. There were no bungalows in Colonial times, so this one must be an adapta­ tion of Co’onlal design as applied to a bungalow. Yet the doorway with Its porch and quaint finials, and the win­ dow bays that project from the roof and carry the cornice line around to ■ balanced ending—these are carefully and intelligently handled. The result Is that the Colonial features, carefully fitted to the design, combine and make an effect that Is without a Jarring note. Entrance Is through a vestibule. There are five r«om» and the living room Is the first one visible to the vis­ itor. It Is well proportioned. 15 feet by 18 feet, and divided from the dining room by a colonnade which has the merit of making a more spacious view of the Interior. It would be nice to have bookcases on the living room side of this colonnade and china closets backing against them from the dining room side. The inning room Is 12 feet by 15 feet 0 inches, and with Its bay window Is a very pleasant place. The kitchen commands a view of the front entrance through the hall­ way. it Is 9 feet 6 inches by 11 feet, has the sink right by the window and its pantry has an Ice-reeelvlng door enabling the refrigerator to be filled from the outside.

RATION FOR ORDINARY COWS Corn Silage, Alfalfa Hay, Cornmeal and Ground Oats Are Among Necessary Feeds. It requires a ration of 35 pounds of corn silage, 12 pounds of alfalfa liny. 8 pounds of cornmeal, and 2 pounds of ground onts |ht day for an ordinary cow to produce 8.250 pounds of milk a year. Reducing it to 30 pounds of corn silage. 8 pounds of al­ falfa hay, with grain the same as be­ fore, 3 pounds of cornmeal, and 2 I»oun<Ls of gro-ind oats, would reduce the milk to 5.500 pounds.

One to J’nul to tell him that I hud decided I had no right to wueck his life nnd that If he still cored. Love had conkerred. (Is that right. I wonder?) The other was to Bill, confessing humbly that I had come to love an­ other nnd that as he had not scrupled to follow the dictates of his heart when he left Nell, perhaps he would pity my weakness and forgive. I quoted something I read once, "Re­ venge Is sweet,” said the knight; "but forgiveness Is sweeter," wild the lady. It was a fine womanly letter and then I went to ^leep calmly. I got up early and sent Paul’s letter tn his state­ room and went bravely to breakfast. Imagine my sensations at finding this cablegram from'Nell Stuart: “Bill and I married today. We couldn’t help it. Forgive us.” It was dated the day before. And that’s that!

' Third Day Out—Aunt Em's all in and I simply can't sit with her in that stuffy room, even thpugh It Is one of the best on the boat.

Writer Denies It. Here comes the Montgomery Adver­ tiser charging that we are an Ignor­ amus so far as the Scuppemong grape Is concerned, and it claims Alabama as the ancestral home of that grape, writes George M. Bailey In the Hous ton Post. There is in Manteo, Roan­ oke Island, N. C., a Scuppemong grape arbor whose history Is known for more than three hundred years. The grape itself gets Its name from the Scuppernong river, the dividing line between the counties of Tyrrell and Dare. There uever was a Scuppemong grope in 'Alabama until that domain ceased to be a part of Louisiana, and after Eng­ land had acquired it by conquest in 1763. Then the settlers from the Car­ olinas entered that country through Georgia, bringing the Scuppemong with them. We have seen some nice Scuppemong arbors in Alabama, which Is a fine state, but Alabama Is not the ancestral home of the Scup­ pemong. The grape is a native of North Carolina, and was cultivated there by aettlers early tn the; Seven­ teenth century. A comparatively new state like Alabama ought to be more careful with Its claims Ln the presence of an ancient commonwealth that boasts the earliest white settlers on the North American continent.

Lt was voted to have a Mother's and Daughter's banquet in the near future. The work committee reported an outjng flannel quilt nearly complet­ ed. Mrs. Parks gave the lesson study —the first chapter of "Building With India". The thought advanced! through the chapter was that Indie needs Christ and needs him badly, but India doesn't want nor does she need to take our western civilization in order to accept oar Christ. India prides herself on her nation­ alism, her literature and art. Much of her literature is splendid, her art wonderful. We must meet India with all due recognition to her stand­ ard as far as good lies and on that introduce the Saviour to them, who only is able to give the peace after which India is earnestly seeking. Mrs. Von Furnlss read a letter from China, telling of the need* of school and hospital equipment. It was voted to send a -box of supplies there September 1.

Mrs. Leia Roe as chairman. It was open to the public, *but there wasn't a very large attendance. Every number was very good, and especially the Italian folk song, sung in Italian, by Louis Diamante. The program was as follows: Orchestra—Stars and Stripes For- By Fike Manager Howard Sprague of the Park theatre had visions of a hold­ up Saturday night which made him quiver a bit In hls shoes until he realized hls mistake. Howard works at the barber shop on Satur­ day night®. After he quit work at about midnight last Saturday night he went over to the theatre to see that everything was all right for the night. After stepping into the of­ fice and turning on the lights he heard footsteps quietly pattering up the aisle from the front of the house. What else could it be but somebody prepared to capture the night’s re­ ceipts, perhaps at the point of a gun? Howard quietly slipped back into a dark corner and peered down the aisle, and here comes one of Elmer Greenfield’s little boys, rubbing hls eyes and sheepishly making hls way to the exit. Had dropped off to sleep and was unnoticed when the employee closed the house for the night, and had It not been for How­ ard going over to take a last look around before he went home, the kid would probably have missed hls Sun­ day morning breakfast.

Somebody bad sent in a box of candy and the girls were all congregated in the county clerk’s office for tho treat, while Mr. Honeywell was trying to work amid all the noise and chatter. The door stood open and just then Thorpe came In with a friend from Grand Rapids, to whom he was showing the building. Glancing into the open door of the clerk’s office, he turned to his friend, *waved his hand toward the charming bunch of girls, laconi­ cally remarked "The House of Dav­ id." and strolled along down the cor­ ridor. And the entire court house bunch has been laughing about it ever since. Paint your house the nearest you can to the color of soft coal smoke It you want it to retain Its color. ».

Of Interest To MILLIONS of FAMILIES “I will build a car for the multitude? Said Henry Ford in 1903—Read how the fulfillment of that prophecy is now made possible through the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan For many years It has been Henry Ford's personal ambition to make the Ford the universal family car—to put it within the reach of the millions of people who have never been privileged to enjoy the benefits of motor car ownership. • During the past fifteen years over 7,600,000 Ford cars have been placed in the hands ot retail customers—more than a million and a half of them within the past twelve months—and yet there are still millions of families who are hopefully looking forward to the day when they can own a Ford. V And now the way is open. Under the terms of this plan you can select your Ford Car, set aside a small amount each week and you will be surprised how soon you will own IL In the meantime your money will be safely deposited to your credit in one of the local banks where it will draw interest. Think It over. Five dollars will start an account. The whole family can participate In it—father, mother, brothers and sisters each doing a little. Why not start today? Stop in and talk it over with your local Ford dealer. He will be glad to fully explain the details of the plan and help you get started toward the ownership of a Ford car.

Here are fifty-two apartments providing income. By the Federal amortization plan more than 30% of the issue is retired before the final maturity date. Located on Taylor between Byron and Wilson Streets, Detroit. Total security, -$265,000. Employment of more than 300.000 men in the factories of the metropolitan area of Detroit, as is rever.lcd by the weekly labor barometer of the Em­ ployer's Association of Detroit, has brought the city face to face with a housing problem which, according to rental agencies and improved property dealers, is as serious, if not more so. than it has ever.been in the history of the city’s recent growth. L. E. Minot, manager of the rental and property management department of the Hannan Real Estate Exchange, declares that during the last month the number of houses fisted with his department-for rental has dwindled to scarcely more than a dozen as against hundreds six or seven months ago when labor was not so fully employed. Mr. Minot, who has niade an extensive study and analysis of the local housing situation, asserts that Detroit's only apparent solution of the bousing prob­ lem is the erection of scores of apart­ ment houses in locations which will permit the rental of suites of throe to five rooms at $50 to $70 a month and a vast extension of the transportation system, including rapid transit. "We could rent 1,000 apartments of the $50 to $70 class in 2-1 hours if they were available,’! said Mr. Minot. "Rental agenciA are swamped with inquiries for apartments or houses of, three to five rooms. This demand is coming from heads of families." From Detroit Tinies There are two outstanding factors that unite to make Federal Bond & Mortgage Company apartment house bond issues of unexampled attractiveness to investors. First and foremost is the nationally known safety that is a feature of every bond issue sponsored by the Federal institution. This modem apartment building is called the Fine Apartments, situated at the southeast cor­ ner of Wilson and Calvert Avenues, Detroit. A Federal first mortgage bond issue of $70,000 is secured by this property. The security valuation is $120,000. And secondly there is the enormous and con­ stantly growing demand in Detroit and other metropolitan centers for exactly the type of apartments that is security for Federal loans. These are the buildings with a large number of apartments, renting for moderate prices, and providing homes for the thrifty, intelligent, hard-working families that form the sound backbone of every community. This is the beautiful Charles Apartment, security for $85,000 worth of Federal first mortgage bonds. It houses thirty-five apartments and the mort­ gagor has agreed to deposit with the trustee each month one-sixth of the semi-annual interest pay­ ment, and one-twelfth of the annual principal payment next due. Located at 224 Cortland Ave., Highland Park, two and a half blocks from Woodward Avenue. Total security, $170,000. Federal first mortgage loans are based upon the very finest of such properties, selected and appraised by rigid Federal standards.

Therefore, be it resolved: That although he has gone as a seafaring man into that beautiful harbor of Home,, which awaits all that are faithful at the end of life; we will endeavor to emulate his faithful and noble fraternal spirit and his love for his fellow brethren. And, be it further resolved: That In respect for our departed Brother that our charter be draped In mourn­ ing for the next thirty days and that a copy of these resolutions be print­ ed In the Nashville News and a copy sent to his family.

Smith, who came here from Battle Creek, Mich., to spend the winter and were read at the all-day picnic of tourists at the Shaker Colony last week: Tiie Florida Knocker. When the Lord made this great world of ours The water and the land. He found He had left over A great quantity of sand; He could And no one to take it And at last became so frantic That He dumped the stuff down here Between the Gulf and the Atlantic. When the U. S. A. discovesed it They thought It quite o find; So they're using it for convicts And those of feeble minds. The soil grows nigger babies Alligators and alcb; While the sand-fleas and jiggers Give you seventeen-year itch. When you reach7 this benighted land You're wure , to strike some fakir Who’ll try td sell you worthless sand For a hundred plunks per acre. They’ll bray about its wonderous strength f But I’ll tell you on the level— The soil's so poor, they have to Fertilize to raise the devil. There is ofte momentous question That the tourist must decide, As he scratches ’till the red blood Slowly trickles down his hide; And Uiat great, perplexing question Which you all know to be true. Is whether you’ve got the jiggers—■ Or the jiggers have got you. There's from three to fift?en churches In every cross-road town You can bet the folks in Florida Don’t turn religion down. They are all full of the spirit— Yes, you may be sure of that, Of .course they forget to pray, But they always pass the hat. There are fourteen hundred miles ..r coast Around this bunch of sand; And half as many places where The Cuban hooch-hounds land. I’m sure these good Floridians AU keep the Golden Rule; But I’d like to see the city Where you can’t buy Old White Mule.

When the meadows of the northland Are al| buried ’neath the snow, And the cold wind whistles Through the leafless trees; There’s a spot way down In Dixie Where the tourists love to go And bask In the sunshine ’Mid the orange trees; Way down in Florida. There the singing of the darkies In the cotton and the corn, And the lowing of the cattle On the lea; There the sweet notes of the mocking bird Will wake you In the morn From bis perch upon the Sweet Magnolia tree. Way down In Florida. Down where the golden oranges And the sweet potatoes grow Where the paw paw and banana Always thrive; Where the strawberries are luscious As the tourists all must know; And we feel it’s surely Good to be alive. Way down in Florida. Where the fragrance of the Orange blossoms Floats upon the air, And the wild jessamine Adds It sweet perfume. And the vines within the jungle, With their flowers so rich and rare. Have a fragrance that no other Can assume. i Way down in'Florlda.

What Crop Will You Raise to Make Some Ready Money During the Summer? We wish to thank our farmer friends for the ground put to !crops that we bought from the last two seasons, and the nice acreage contracted so far this year. We are taking on a limited acreage for piekies, cauliflower, cabbage, picklifig onions and dill weed at all our Barry county salting stations this season. . It should be the aim of every fanner to get as large afyield as possible of The better whatever crop you raise, be it com, potatoes or one of our crops. the yield the less your cost unit per bushel in producing the ,crop. When you get a big yield, of say com or potatoes, your next question is what will it bring, and where is our market to get some ready money for running ex­ penses which we all have. By putting out a patch of grdUnd to pickles you can have a guaranteed price and a' guaranteed market, with seed furnished free’and cash with every load as delivered to one of our stations. While we have paid some of our growers over $300 per acre in the past on pickles your yield will depend largely on the amount of plantjfood in your soil and your methods in handling same. Save some manure for your pickle patch, plow your ground early and con­ clude to make some money. Our Mr. S. W. Vollink is now soliciting acreage, and will give you all the information desired on our propositions.

The general public In wondering and wondering why it is necessary for them to pay ten to twelve dollars per ton for soft coal and from six­ teen to twenty dollars per tun for coke and hard coal. And the fed­ eral government Is either wonder­ ing, Or la making a bluff at it, for the government Is making an inves­ tigation. And the general public is wondering what the inveetlgatlon will amount to. Usually a govern­ ment- Investigation into prices of ar­ ticles of general consumption, like coal, sugar or gasoline, results only in still increased prices. We all hope the coal investigation won’t re­ sult that way, but we are all afraid U will. Queer thing, too. There is no question in tho mind of any ordinarily well posted, citizen but that a good quality of soft coal should be laid down to the consumer In Nashville at a price not exceeding five or six dollars per ton, and that ten to twelve dollars per ton should be a top price for anthracite coal. The price of good coke should bo be­ tween the two. At these prices, the mine owners, the mine operators, the railroads, the jobbers and the retail­ ers could make all the ratio of profit an honest man should reasonably ex­ pect Higher prices than these rep­ resent unearned profits made by coal operators and speculators. The retailer Is not to blame for the high prices. The retailer, almost without exception, either in city or country town, makes no more than a decent profit, sometimes hardly that. What's to be done about it? There is little doubt In tho mind of any student of conditions that gasoline could be sold at retail in Nashville at ten to twelve cents per gallon, or even less, and everybody connected with its production, trans­ portation and salo make all the pro­ fit they should expect to make on a legitimate transaction. What's to be done about it? Is tho federal government abso­ lutely powerless to remedy these la­ mentable conditions? The people would like to know. The trouble is largely with the people themselves. Everything is too much trouble. When the people of the country make up their minds they want any­ thing and go after It in real earnest, they get it. Neither tho legisla­ tive, tho executive or the judicial end of this government will oppose the wishes of the voters of the country when the voters decide what they want and notify tho government In an emphatic manner that they pro­ pose to have It. , The whole thing simmers down to tho matter of a public awakening, a public decision and a public demand. Congressman John Ketcham will do in congress what the pcAple of this district unite on and tell him they want him to do. So will every other congressmen, for almost with­ out exception they want to go back.

Since Detroit, through its owner­ ship of Governor Groesbeck, has vo­ -toed the gasoline tax, desired almost unanimously by the people of Michi­ gan outside of Detroit, and by many of them even there, it has now pnff-ed out its swollen, cheet and is de­ manding that the reapportionment bill be passed, giving Detroit large­ ly Increased representation in the legislature. Detroit doesn't need it as long as Groesbeck is in the sad­ dle. but the saddle, is not secure. If Groesbeck comes up for a third term as governor, as has been Intimated, he will find that the people of the stale, who were strongly for him at the last election, will be just os strongly against him If he ever asks their franchise again. The people of Michigan know when they have been -deliberately slapped in the face, and they won't forget It from one cam­ paign to another. Detroit is still mad and mad clear -through, according to Detroit Satur­ day Night Detroit has Governor Groesbeck and while Groesbeck can veto a gasoline bill, Groesbeck can’t pass a reapportionment measure.

Glasgow that as a result he had hopelessly mixed his order—and she had laughed. Halide’s laugh was wonderful. It showed the whiteness of her teeth, and the dimple in one cheek. But then, Neal thought everything about Malsie was wonderful—the way she did her hair, tbe light in her eyes and the neat trimness of her black dress. Besides, she was “some’’ waitress! She could make two orders to every one that tbe other girts made. Neal liked the unconventionally, of Norris'. He found it pleasant to sit st his accustomed table in the comer by the window, to watch Maisle move deftly in and out among the tables with her trays, and to have her come at last to wait on him. Sometimes It happened that Maisle stayed too long among the other tables and Neal bad to give his, order to one of those frowsydooking girls. Then, between Jealousy and disappointment, he lost his appetite and went back to his counter in the haberdasher’s with the feeling that the bottom had quite fallen out of things. . But this did not happen often. Gen­ erally, Maisle made It a point to wait upon Neal. He noticed It—and was satisfied with himself. Malsie was beginning to like him! He took to brushing and wetting his hair and changing his collar before going to Norris’. He thought he de­ tected a more personal gleam In Malsie’s smile after that. Sometimes she lingered a little longer than necessary There never was time to say much. Neal even forgot, sometimes. Just the exact words that Malsie had said, but the fact that she had spoken to him at all thrilled him with a strange joy. For the rest of the day be lived a sort of ethereal existence—talking and grinning cheerfully to himself behind the counter, making wrong change, scrawllng-Malsle’s name upon the back of his order-slip, and starting off for home at five o'clock without bls hat. Then Neal saw Maisle one night at a theater, sitting two rows in front of him. There was a man with her. He was lanky, with a long nose that turned up ridiculously at the end. Neal wanted to laugh at him; at the same time he was Jealous. He wondered at Malsie. At Norris’ things went as usual, ex­ cept that Malsie seldom lingered to talk. She was always very busy. A week later he saw Malsie again at another theater. She had tbe same companion; Neal could tell when the light fell across Jhat ridiculous nose! Then he began to doubt—his self­ surety ebbed little by.little. And— he blamed Maisle. Perhaps, after all, she was Just like thte rest of those girls at Norris’—frivolous, flirty. Why had she encouraged him at all, then, to behave lll^e this? Neal's final conviction came one night when he met Maisle and her escort again—on the street, gazing into a furniture store window. Their arms were locked. Maisle was laugh­ ing. She turned just as Neal went by, saw Neal lift his hat, looked calmly at him, and passed on wlthont a word. A moment later her laugh came drift­ ing down the street to Neal. For a week after that Neal did not go to Norris*. But the hardest thing to bear was the eclipse of his own self­ assurance. When Maisle deliberately "swapped him over" for this lanky fel­ low with the upturned nose—he began to wonder at his own eligibility. Those seven days were miserable. The next keek he was back at Nor­ ris’. At least he would tdl Malsie she couldn’t treat hJan like this. He took his seat by the window. It was Malsie who came to wait on him. She blushed slightly when she saw him and waited while Neal gave his order. When she had brought it she lingered a moment. Then she asked: “Why didn’t you come thls^last week? Have you been ill?” Neal did not answer at once. Then he said abruptly; “No—I raw yon the other night.” Hftlsie looked bewildered.

That was two years ago—we lost all the furniture, the ring was pawned to pay the doctor’s bill when I was so sick last winter, and we are doing light housekeeping in two tiny rooms! I am back at my job and we are both saving every cent we can for a home so we can start right the next time.” “You are a lucky girl,” the words rang In Mildred's ears for many a day after that, as she wore the beautiful ring, that sealed her engagement to Leonard. She did not earn a large salary, and It was only by scrimping that she could save a little each week after all her expenses were paid. She was al! alone In the world and there was no near relative to advise her about the management of her affairs. But experience was teaching her sometiling and all that long, hot summer, when she met Leonard, she could see that he was practicing small econo­ mies. “Perhaps he Is saving for the furni­ ture," she thought with a blush, and she would turn the diamond around so that she could not see its mocking glitter.

He concludes that there are three rea­ sons for its effect on men. In the first place, their hats are too hard and heavy; in the second, they cut their hair too short, and thirdly, they eat more than is good for them. Wearing a heavy or hard hat obvi­ ously exerts too much pressure and Is decidedly harmful Cutting the hair short leaves the roots at tha mercy of any variations of tempera­ ture and atmospheric conditions. Too much meat.’ says Doctor Guet pirn, according to London Tit-Bits, in­ creases the acids In the blood and consequently In the perspiration. This Is still more harmful to' the hair, for It quickens the supply of sebum, which thickens around the roots and clogs them. This is the reason why fat men are more addicted to baldness than those who are thin. Doctor Guelpha declares that if men would only wear light felt hats In­ stead of bowlers there would be less baldness. Mosaic.

The seovlng plant Is a native of East India and Is remarkable by rea­ son of the motion of Its leaves. These are arranged In groups of three, the lateral leaflets much smaller than the terminal one. These lateral leaflets are In constant motion, being elevated by a succession of jerks and then moving downward by similar rapid jerks. The motion Is not rapid, a complete up-and-down movement tak­ ing from two to four minutes. The terminal leaf does not remain quiet, but Its movements are not like those of the others. Seek th.

Hayes, at a mtjvie men's dinner in New York, told stories of his postoffice life. "There was a handfibme young vil­ lage postmaster," he said, “who cashed one day a money order for a* pretty girl. At the same time he pointed out to the-girl that there was a message writen in pencil on the margin of the order. ** 'Yes, I know,” she said, ‘it'd a message from Jim.. But I can't make It out. Can you?’ “Sure I can.’ said the handsome young postmaster. ‘It says “Love and a dozen kisses.” I’ve paid you your money. I suppose you want your kisses now?' •’ ‘Yes.**said the girl, blushing. ‘If I'm entitled to them, of course I want them.' “So the young postmaster leaned out of hls little window and carefully gave her what had been sent on the margin of the money order. “When the girl got home she said to her mother! •* ‘Mother, I do think the govern­ ment conducts its postoffices in the most liberal way. Jim sent me an order for a dozen kisses‘by this morn­ ing’s mail, and that good-looking young postmaster delivered me three dozen. Wasn’t It Just too nice of him?' ” Love in the West. Governor Miller, at an Alban/ re­ ception, was discussing the divorce evil. " Vlt Isn't only in the effete &st,” he?said, "that love dies. I once heard a mountaineer’s wife des­ cribe a thrilling hand-to-hand strug­ gle between her husband and a bear.

If the Senate does not pass the three mill tax, probably the Governor vHil veto the Bligh bill. Senator Condon's bill to control the possession and aale and • use of pistols, revolvers, and guns and to place their sale under strict govern­ mental regulation was killed by the House committee of the whole with­ out a record vote. * Senate Dodges Tax Issues. The Senate has displayed a dispo­ sition not to pass any of the import­ ant tax revision schemes which have been proposed and sanctioned by the House. Rep. Byrum’s state income tax bill has never emerged from the Senate Taxation Committee. Geo. C. Watson's bill to limit the lax on real and personal property for state pur­ poses to an increase of not more than 3 per' cent, a year was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 12 to 17. This measure appeared in the form Of a constitutional amendment which would of necessity have been submit­ ted to the voters for their approval. Senator Horton maintained that such an important fox reform should be submitted to the voters and he declared that he felt confident that they would pass it. In a speech in fovor of the bill he said the real es-, tate in Michigan is now bearing practically 80 per cent of the tax bur­ den although it represents but 33 per cent, of the total wealth of the state. Rep. Charles Evans’ ‘bill to limit in a similar manner taxes im­ posed on real and personal property for local purposes was postponed from day to day in the Senate and finally referred to’the taxation com­ mittee for interment. Rep.

The locomotive throws ahead of it a stream • of light, which heralds the coming of a great, throbbing thing. . Life is the most wonderful of all visible things because it, makes all .things visible. Light is the great painter. Red, green, blue and yellow are one in diirkness; they are differ­ ent things in light. Light beautifies. "There is no object,’’ say* Emerson, "so foul that in­ ' tense light will not make it beautiful. ’ ’ As light is the sym’xil of life, so also is dark­ ness the symbol of death. We choose the day ■through which to live; the night through which to sleep. Fill your life with light; don’t be a dead one. Tear away from your window the shutters of anger, hatred, envy, je.ilousy and fancied wrongs. Let in the sunshine. The world wastes little time upon the fellow who stands in the shadow of pes­ simism and gloom. Go into the,sunshine busi­ ness. Radiate happiness; it pays.

You cannot be filled with sunshine and be idle. The sunny spirit is always busy at life some unselfish service.

Our worth is measured not by ourselves but by others. The min would be of little use to this world were it shut up within curtains, its warmth and light kept to itself. So with you, you can do no good when you do only for yourself. He who thinks only of and works only for himaelf diea unloved. He has spread no sunshine about him. He has given no heart warmth to the world. Real cheerfulness is not merely a matter of inheritance: it is more than a passive virtue. The most sunny are the most strenuous; they who do most, give most, help most. Throw sunshine on all the paths you walk and cross in life.

She'll rush you dean off the British Isles If you give her any gas." Almee started dead slow. The ease and resiliency of the drjve, once the Sphinx was running, astonished her. Gradually Almee increased speed to fifteen and twenty miles. She was In­ toxicated by the sense of power, an­ swering to the least touch of het fingers. "Glorious!” she gasped. “You’re doing fine," said Billy, watdUpg Keenly. Mu OJftde her prac­ tice stopping and starting, Including on-argency halts.

Try her on the high gear now." Almee changed gear deftly enough, and for awhile drove steadily. But the intoxication' of speed confused her senses. She made the one mis­ take she had been warned against. The Sphinx dashed forward like a whippet, and, In trying to rectify the error she made it worse. "Throttle down 1" said Billy shqrply. Intending to obey, Aimee blundered again, and closed down the extra air Inlet. The Sphlni routed in protest, and shot ahead like a bullet from a gun. The pace was awful.

In front was a right­ angled bend, inviting sudden death. Billy leaned swiftly forward. “Valve-lifter—left!" he said quietly In her ear. Aimee’s left hand tight­ ened on the lever—-just In time. The steady voice—when a fool would have yelled aloud—brought all her facul­ ties back? she throttled down as the machine slowed, and swung round the bend safely at a bare eight miles an hdur—but without sounding the horn. There was an astonished shout Mid a cry of warning ahead. A large car­ riage, with two fat horses and a fat coachman, seemed to be right on top of Aimee’s handlebars. She werred ■nd braked violently, while the horses were reined back on their haunches; the Sphinx toppled sideways, shooting BlUy clean through the screen of brambles that covered the ditch. Almee performed a sort of semi­ somersault, end landed bn her feet with an intoxicated stagger. For one awful moment she found herself fac­ ing the amazed occupants of the car­ riage. She was conscious of the face of Georgina, very white, staring at her o;>en-mouthed, with eyes as big as saucers. Beside Georgina sat a tre­ mendous, eideriy lady, gripping a lorgnette, and speechless with anger. A large young man in black, his eyes matching Georgina’s for size, had “Thou Shalt Not Lie.” Georgina Berners began the day well; though she came within an ace of beginning It very badly indeed—she was nearly late for prayers. After the service the servants dis­ persed to their duties, and Lady Ery­ thea led the way to the morning room. She kissed Georgina with the air of one conferring a benefit, and bestowed a word of approval on Alexander, who was looking at Georgina with some concern in bls large eyes. -You look a little tired, cousin,” he said, “did you rest well?" . “Oh, 'y-yes,'* said Georgina, "the-r the journey yesterday was a little tiring.’’ “Perfect health," said Lgdy Erythea, “Is not only desirable, it Is a duty, In the young." Breakfast proceeded in .silence, till Lady Erytbea made her announce­ ment. “The carriage will be ready for us all at ten," she said. "Kemember that one does not keep horses waiting. We shall drive to Syderford.” “In that case,” said Mr. Lambe, “1 must be excused now. I have*many things to do before ten." Lady Erythea watched his exit with some anxiety. “For a man of Alexander's phys­ ical development," she said, “I feel sure he does not eat enough. A mouthful of whiting and half a cup of tea !

Said she buried her nose in the sand fifty times getting ashore and felt that ehark biting her all the way. He still thinks it was funny because he scared her so and other men laugh till tears come to their eyes from hearing him tpM about it, but his wife can’t see the joke. People trudge through the deep sand in the burning sun up and down the beach bunting seabeans and shells. The beans are said to be carried by the Gulf Stream from the Carribean Sea. They take a bfilllant polish and are used for jewelry. After you hunt a week to find one it takes an­ other week of scraping, filing and polishing to get it ready. Not so many large shells come ashore since the tidal wave some years ago left a sand bar that hinders them. But sailors blow the thick oil from their oil tanks by completed air so close to whore that the beach for twenty miles or more is smeared with the terry substance. It clings to sea­ weed, coats shells, and sticks to foot­ wear most disagreeably. From the great amount of it cast on the beach daily one would think several ships loaded with ter had foundered close to shore. Timbers from wrecks are also abundant. One family was gath­ ering the framework for a house from driftwood timbers which are bound but badly battered. . Airplanes sat! aloft day and night. Postoffice people complain bitterly that the postal service is being crip­ pled by lack of appropriation while there seems to be plenty ot govern­ ment money for airplanes. There is airplane mail service between Miami and Palm Beach. Palm Beach is a millionaire's play­ ground. There is the finest golf course, wonderful parks.. bathing beaches with sheltered seats from which to watch the bathers, a har­ bor full of beautiful yachts, streets bordered by lovely trees, noiseless rolling chairs, propelled by rubber-j tired bicycles ridden by uniformed negroes, the largest and most lux­ urious hotels In America, where no trains or autos are allowed to make discordant noises. The Poinciana hotel, fronting on the lake is the last word in luxury and beautiful surroundings. A fine bridge leads from this hotel to the mainland at West Palm Beach, where are all the business places and the railway. There is a nice campground at West Palm Beach but It has fleas. Once at 2 a. m. I got up, turned my pajamas wrong side out and tried' to shake out the fleas, while Henry sang softly, " 'Mid Pleasures and Palaces Tho* We May Roam." The next night we stopped near Sebastian on the Indian River in a spot that was so pretty you held your breath and were attacked by swarms of black gnats that acted hungry. Henry says when we have gnats and fleas we always have something to do. The bicycle is not out ot date in Palm Beach. One newspaper said five thousand people there were us­ ing them. Many girls and women are riding them. It Is hard to dodge them in the crowded streets. The most Interesting city of the state is St. Augustine, the oldest in America. It Is usually described as quaint, a queer blending of old and new. The streets are too narrow for sidewalks so people walk on , the pavement and on nearly every corner there is a sign, "Don’t Kill a Child!" which calls forth most unpleasant pictures of mangled and dying little children if one at all imaginative. Never neglect your kidneys. If you have pain in the back, uri­ nary disorders, dizziness and ner­ vousness, it's time to act and no time to experiment.

Clem was attorney for the defendant and .managed to secure a verdict for his client, which angered^ the impetu­ ous Brady. A little later, Clem went, out to get some fuel from hia woodpile, which happened to be un­ der "the windows of an adjoining building, occupied by Brady and some other pdople. While Smith stooped over the woodpile somebody threw a pail of dirty water from an up-stairs window and the young Ijwryer was thoroughly drenched. He looked up, but there was no one in sight. However, he expressed bis feelings by saying in a voice loud enough to be heard by everybody in the Mock, "Nobody would do such a trick as that but a d—n Irishman.” Which Tom claims is the only known case of profanity in which the late judge ever indulged, ancLwblch Tom says was fully warranted by the cir­ cumstances.

David Smith, having been a rock-ribbed Democrat, who abided in the faith until the end of his days, in spite ot the fact that both his sons went over to the enemy. One ot his colleagues took the elder Smith to task about the matter, re­ marking that he had heard that Clem had become a Republican and asked BELIEVE EATON TO WIN the father If it were true, and what PRIMARY. he bad to say about it.

It jarred horribly on the silence of the dark abbey. Followed the crash and tinkle of breaking glass, and the sound of a fall. A second gong spoke with a braxen tongue. . Georgina went very/white. “Great Scott I what’s this awful row?" Exclaimed Aimee. Georgina pressed a hand to her bosom. ‘ “It’s—It’s one of Lady Erythea’s burglar alarms,” she said faintly. ,:Tlie house Is full of them!” In haft a minute the abbey was gal­ vanized into extraordinary activity. Swift running feet padded along the corridors. The squeak of a maid­ servant broke shrilly through the chorus. Aimee arid Georgfha stared at each other open-mouthed. There was a violent pounding on the “Go on. man, go on!" ’ “While putting them—while putting It on, my lady, I wounded my bell, which amnecta with the other menservants* rooms, and ran Into the hall.

"Continue x your brilliant narrative." “But when 1 reached the open there was no one to be seen." pursued the butler, whose throat ached with the effort to make hU mistress bear; “there was, however, a dim light, a mere glow, in one of the windows; I shouted, asking whose it was—’’ "Which window?" asked Mr. Lambe sharply.

Aimee doubled like a hare, “Stop that woman!” cried Lady Erythea, "Stop her!" Aimee reached the head < stairs Just as Mr. Alexander Lambe, with a jacket over bis pajamas, flew to Intercept her. “Stop!” he shouted commandingly. Aimee, in full career, gave him a desperate two-handed • push. Mr. Lambe’s heels flew from under him, and be came down on the slippery’ oak flooring with a hearty thump. Down the broad stairs, three at a time, sped the fugitive; in the lower hall the butler, his bald head shining like a comet in the gloom, rushed across the line of communications. Aimee dodged too late; the pursuer made an active plunge, and caught her by the skirt. “I’ve got her!” shouted the butler triumphantly. His voice rose to a yelp as Aimee kicked his shins, but be held on Inexorably. “I’ve got her!" Ths Plot Thickens.

Mr. Tarbeaux. with a silent but splendid gesture, laid the piece of torn skirt upon the hall bench. “Clue, m' lady,” he said, with the air of a bankrupt making the most of his assets. “With this it should not .be difficult to trace the thiet" e ’ “Trace her!” snofteb Lady Erythea. “If you had held on to her there would would have been no need to trace any­ thing !” Mr. Lambe joined them; his mild eye nt qnce apprehended the signifi­ cance of the piece of serge. “I cgnnot see that Tarbeaux Is to blame," he said in his Aunt's ear; "he did his best' and after all It is unim­ portant." “Unimportant! The infamous crea­ ture has got clear away!" "My dear aunt! That stupid girl cannot have been the thief. You do not really suppose this burglary was committed by a woman!” “Most certainly I do!” cried Lady Erythea. "I can believe anything of the mode-n woman—anything!

"It was a young person—I am unable to say more. But I am sure she was not one of our household." “I have telephoned the police nt Btanhoe,” said Mr. Lambe; "they are coming Immediately by car." “A gleam of ifitelllgence at last I Thank you, Alexander—and forgive me—I am overwrought. My censure does not apply to you. The whole af­ fair is appalling!" said Lady Erythea, clenching her hands. "My pearls, the. diamond chaplet—these comparatively are trifles—but the emeralds are gobe. The Lambe emeralds!" The audience shrank before her wrath. ■Tt is incredible! Twelve years ago the abbey was broken into—this Is the second case. T had taken every poaslble precaution, under skilled advice. My safe is modern; I considered I had made the house Itself impregnable at night. So it would have been, had I been adequately served. What meas­ ure® did you take, Tarbeaux? I was absurd enough to think I could rely upon you, in an emergency like this!” “I retired «t the usual hour, my lady, to my room in the passage," said Mr. Tarbeaux unhappily, “as I have done for years, by your luatroctlons, ,ta view of—er—er—an emergency like this. One of the alarms roused me; I rose lmmedla;ely, only waiting long enough to don a garment—” “Marvelous!” Lady Erythea recoiled. There were, after all. enough hysterics In the house already. Evidently nothing was to be learned from her niece. “Go buck to your bed and don't be silly. There is no danger,” snapped Lady Erythea. The sharp whirr of a motor <>n the drive below drew her attention, and she hastened down­ stairs. The car drew up at the entrance with a Jerk and ejected three police­ men : n constable, a sergeant and In­ spector Funke of Stnnhoe. a man of enormous energy for his bulk, with thick black eyebrows and a singularly bitter expression. He ran up the steps, but before he could open his mouth Lady Erythea forestalled him, "You are wasting your time here!’ Go at once in chase of a motorcycle ’ thnt got aflvoy ten minutes ago by the Stanhoe road!" “A motorcycleexclaimed the in­ spector almost joyously, as one who seems his theories confirmed. "Ser­ geant, get after them at once In the car—take Polson with you. As we didn’t meet them they must have talen the branch lant at the cross­ roads—awuy with you, man—quick!" “I shall ‘consider no reward too great. If my emeralds are recovered!” exclaimed Lady Erythea, as‘the car drove away. “Do you think your men will be successful, Inspector? My but­ ler allowed ‘he malefactor to slip through his fingers In the most fatu­ ous manner. Can you—" “One moment!” Interrupted the In­ spector. "The thieves were seen then, by your ladyship's servants! Was one of them a woman?” . He had to bawl the question Into Lady Erythea’s. 'ear-trumpet, which Alexander brought. * When she under­ stood. Lady Erythea’s eyes flashed fiercely. "Yes!" she'* exclaimed, “a young woman. You suspected a woman then —before you came here?" "I do more than suspect, my lady,” said Inspector Panke grimly. “I ktfow!” "Who was this woman. Inspector, and when do you propose to appre­ hend her? We have a piece of the creature’s skirt!" “Hah! let me see It at once Baid the inspector, his eyes lighting up. It was brought to him and Its capture ex; plained. Inspector Panke examined the yard of cloth, tried its strength, rubbed l£. held It up to the light, peered keenly at the torn edges. . “Good!" he said under h!s breath, and turned upon Mr. Lambe so sharp­ ly that that gentlenflm Jumped. "Your telephone, sir—where Is It?" “Who is the abominable creature?" exclaimed Lady Erythea. “And why Is she at large, a scourge upon the country, breaking Into—” “She won’t scourge ft much longer," said the Inspector grimly. “I’ll very soon give your ladyship news of her— I want the telephone, quick!" “This way," said Mr. Lambe, and led him to the call-room. Inspector Panke remained at the Instrument a considerable time. He emerged tri­ umphant “If they get away now-*well, may I never handle another case," he said qaletly to Mr. Lambe. “I can’t an­ swer questions at present, air; I’ve got to get busy. If I might suggest that’ you Induce her ladyriilp to retire, and come rq^ind with me yourself— It hampered me a hit, thnt ear-trum­ pet, and we've got to be quick—you can explain to her afterward.” Alexander was successful in per­ suading his aunt to retire from the field, though she went breathtag threats of vengeance, and mourning alnnri *or the emeralds. Inspector Panke made a rapid examination of rhe safe, the wall beneath Lady Erytben's window, and the ground out­ side. He took a full description of the missing Jewels, and briskly ques­ tioned the M*rvant*. “I've only time to say this, sir, t*efore I go," be said, turning to Mr. Lambe. “I recognize the work of Jack the Climber in thir case, as plain­ ly as if they’d left the name written on the wail'. It was him and Calam­ ity Kate. I thought for a moment It might he Bender Williams, who V.-HM released from Portland last month. But It’s undoubtedly Jack’s job. For some months past b series of daring burglaries have occurred wt country houses in various parts of England, and. so far, Tm bound to say. they’ve beaten us; no arrest has been made. The methods of the thieves are so similar* in each case, that it is clear to an expert all these Jobs were done by the same person—or, rather, two persons, a man and a woman. The man, besides being us smart a hum I ut cracking a safe us ever lived, seeuia to hare the training of a steeplejack as well. He can climb anything that a fly could get a foothold on; In fact, he's known as the Climber. “The woman, if anything, Is more dangerous than the man. All that's known of them is that they're prob­ ably foreigners—some say Americans —and that they use a motorcycle when they're on the Job. “Briefly, what happened here is this: The man got in through Lady Erythea’s window. There’s the marks of him on the wall. He might have got in still easier by the next one, where the veranda is. But he went in through her ladyship's bedroom.” Mr. Lambe’s eyes met those of the • Inspector; the same thought passed between them;, whatever might be said of Jack the Climber's moral char­ acter, he whs a brave man. “And so to ‘ livr anteroom, and opened the safe without waking her— of course, she's pretty deaf.

And this bit of blue cloth, sir.” concluded Inspector Panke, holding It up. “is going to put Calamity Kpte in my hands." He folde<l the torn fragment* of cloth, put it in his pocket, and moved briskly to the door. “Goodnight, sir! Before very long I’ll show you the rest of this skirt—and its owner!” (TO BE CONTINUED.) MICHIGAN HENS LEAD IN EGGU4YING TEST. White Leghorns Setting Pace at Half Way Point nt M. A. C. Michigan pens bold all honor places at the end ot the first halt year'of the International Egg Laying contest being held at the Michigan Agricultural College. State birds not only top each section but actual-* ly hold the first four places in every breed—a clean sweep for Michigan entries. The White Leghorns have .come up from behind in recent weeks, and now hold top honors among the dif­ ferent breeds, the first three leghorn pens standing ahead of any pen of other breed. Warm weather during April re­ sulted in increased production among all pens, according to E. C. Foreman, head of the M. A. C. poultry depart­ ment antf general manager of the contest, with the result that the first half of the year’s run closed on May 1 with the birds Just reaching their best production. Leading pens in the contest are closely grouped, with the exception of the first place birds. The ten W’hlte leghorns performing under the colors of E. E. Shaw, of South Haven, boast of a six-months’ mark of 1,120 eggs, for high honors. Northland Farm, Grand Rapids, with a Leg­ horn pen showing 993 eggs; and O. S. Thompson, of Alien, whose leg­ horns have produced 966 eggs, hold down second and third places. Plymouth Rocks entered by tho Drummer Poultry Farm of Holland, Michigan, top their breed and stand fourth in the whole contest, while fifth place is held by a pen of Wyandottes, carrying the name of the Ev­ ergreen Poultry Farm, Greenville.

There was an exciting chase from the Michigan Central station up the railroad track arid through the east end of town Wednesday noon, after an escaped prisoner, a girl who was being taken from Grand Rapids to the Adrian state school for girls. The prisoner, who was being taken through here on the noon east-bound train, slipped away from her custo­ dians while the train was standing at the station and ran up the track to the Cook mill, where she left the track and started north along Lentz street. Fay Green and one of the brakemen from the train were In hot pursuit and finally caught her and took her back to the train, which had stopped at the Lentz crossing awaiting her return. The conduc­ tor had also started in the chase, but was too fat to keep up with the pro­ cession. The girl was certainly some sprinter and gave her captors a lively chase.

We sometimes wonder If the youngwtera of the present time have very much of an Idea of what really con­ stitutes fun. they pull such absolute­ ly foolish stunts. T A week ago Saturday night a bunch of Hastings young folks came down to Nashville to attend a danc­ ing party at the Auditorium. Sev­ eral of the young men carried the customary hip pocket flask, which seems to be a necessary adjunct of a "good time" for the young folks in these Volstead days. Perhaps a sip or two too much had affected their intellect. Anyway, they had to “show off,” which one of theqx did by climbing up on ths piano. He was promptly told to get down and net to get funny. He should have been ejected from the hall, and by good rights should have been arrest­ ed and made to pay a substantial fine. Another of the party, In or­ der to show the others that what he had in his flask was the real stuff, poured some of the contents out on the floor and set fire to It. Other people promptly smothered out the Are, but there Is no reason why this To know how good a cigarette 'really can be made' you must try cemetery and pushed over fourteen tombstones and marker* and piled them up in a pile in the cemetery. No arrests have been made, but we think an example should £ave been made of theae young "ladles." The three youngsters who set fires in Grand Rapids which consumed more than a quarter of a million dollars worth of lumber and other property, did it "just for fun,” and it is a problem for the juvenile court to know just what to do with them. We believe the blame for most of this sort of thing is in the home. Something very serkyis la lacking in the training of boys and girls who pull such fool stunts as these. Had they received proper discipline and been taught proper respect for the rights of other people and of other people's property, they could not have been prevailed upon to pull off such pernicious pranks. We venture to say that the par­ ents of all these various youngsters feel very badly over the depreda­ tions committed by their kids, and feel that they ought not to be pun­ ished for their misdeeds, but if they will only look at. It from the right point of view, k'ls really the par­ ents who should be punished instead of the boys and girls. It is the par­ ents who are most to blame. Henry T. Stanton, a prominent Grand Rapids business man. says State Senator Charles R. Sllgh, who made a very'creditable record in the last legislature, will be a candidate for governor and would make a splendid chief executive. While Sllgh is a millionaire and "making money hand, over fist” to quote Stan­ ton, nevertheless he seems to have a desire to legislate for the masses. He voted for a higher corporation tax against his own individual inter­ est; advocated a heavy Inheritance tax for large estates and would raise all state expenses by specific taxes relieving property entirely from this Item of taxation. All this, you will understand, is quite out of the or­ dinary for a millionaire but the bust of it Mr. Stanton says Senator Sllgh is intensely honest and his progress­ ive -thinking Is genuine and carefully considered. Sllgh ran for governor once on the democratic ticket but is now a republican, accepting the nomi­ nation to the state senate at -the so­ licitation of Grand Rapids business interests in an attempt to improve the standard of their House repre­ sentation.—Charlotte Republican.

First—Use certified seed, which is selected from hills producing a large number of good type, market- Second—Prepare the seed bed properly. Heat and moisture are the limiting factors in securing large yields of potatoes. Moisture is con­ trolled largely by the organic content properly incorporated. This pecu­ lates heat, because it takes as much heat to. raise a pound of water one degree aa It does five pounds of soil. Practice level cultivation. Cultivate deep when plants are small; then shallow or mulch cultivation is best whan the feeder roots are developed. Third—Treat all seed with cor­ rosive sublimate. Black scurf, scab and the organisms that cause black leg. wilt, or blight may be bn the outside of the healthy potato and car­ ry over to new fields on the seed. This would result in an uneven'stand, later infection, decreased yield, or actual loss. Seed treatment Is "safety first” insurance. Cut seed should be kept cool, in * shallow piles or crates, so as to-prevent dry­ ing, rotting or- heating. Fourth—Spray with bordeaux mix­ ture plus arsenic poisoning for po­ tato bugs. By applying bordeaux at a pressure of 175 to 200 pounds, with 3 nozzles to the row, at the rate of 100 to 125 gallops per acre, the potato, plant is given a "copper ar­ mor” that fully protects it against the leaf hopper and fiba beetle injury, as well as against any of the fungus foliage diseases. Thorough spray­ ing is necessary if one expects to' grow early potatoes successfully. Motorization of delivery and haul­ ing systems in the cities and through agricultural sections where improv­ ed highways have greatly facilitated transportation continues to increase at a rapid pace. One-ton trucks still lead In popu­ larity by a wide margin. This is strikingly shown in the sales of Ford trucks, the demand for which has more than doubled the sales of a year ago. During the first four months of this year, the Ford Motor Company delivered at retail In the United States a total of 59,978 Trucks. 31.­ 682 more than were sold during the same period last year. The. Ford Motor Company during the week ending Tuesday. May 15, set up a new production record by turning out 39,303 cars and trucks for domestic use, it is announced by The Ford News. This exceeds by 250 the previous high weekly record of 39,053 established the week be­ fore. The highest day of the last week was May 9 when a new daily pro­ duction mark of 6,615 cars and trucks was reached. At River Rouge the Fordson Trac­ tor plant’s production for the week was 2,940. The-Lincoln division of the company produced 185 cars during the ' week ending Tuesday. Efficiency. A red-headed Irish boy once ap­ plied for a position In a messenger office. The manager, after hiring him, sent him on an errand In one of the most fashionable districts. Half an hour later the manager was call­ ed to the phone and the following conversation took place: "Have you a red-headed boy work­ ing for you?” "Well, this is the janitor at the Oakwood apartments, where your boy came to deliver a message. He Insisted on coming In the front way Following am prinaa in Nashville and was so persistent that I was forced to draw a gun." "Good Heavens!

Three years later Memorial Day was Insti­ tuted to honor the memory of the brave men who had given their lives in the Union cause. i A generation passed and America again found herself in arms, not to put down rebellion but to establish the liberties and maintain the rights of a young, sister republic. Less than a score of years saw the outbreak of the great world con­ flict and, While at first it seemed that we might be able to keep out of it, as the war progressed It became more and more evident that the fruits of liberty, so dear to the heart of every American, were seriously menaced and that to Insure our national indedendence we must take our place by the side of those who were battling tor the freedom of the world. We all know the story. We know how splendidly on land and sea our gal­ lant soldiers, sailors and marines up­ held the honor of the American Tiame. Memorial Day is for the men who took part in all these wars, but our first thought will be for the grey­ haired veterans, that fast thinning blue line whose step is growing fee­ bler year by year; and in this thoughtfulness for the old soldier none will join more heartily than the younger veterans of more recent wars. Therefore. In order that we may pay tribute of respect and affection to the surviving veterans of the Civil War, the Spanish American War and the Great World War, and do honor to the memory of their fallen com­ rades, I hereby sincerely urge that Wednesday, May thirtieth, 1923, be fittingly observed as Memorial Day; and 1 earnestly appeal to the people of Michigan for hearty cooperation in plans for the observance of the day in their respective communities. On Memorial Day flags 'should be displayed at half-staff until noon and then hoisted to the top of the staff. Alex. J. Groesbeck, Governor. NOTICE OF MEETING OF BOARD OF REVIEW.

Our good friend Jerue sends us the following contribution which, while sad and heartbreaking, is full of pro­ found warning: "What alls papa’s breath?” said a dear little girl, Her blue eyes a-fiashlng, her sweet lipa a-curl: “I liked papa’s kisses in good days gone by. But kisses don't taste right since cel­ lars went dry; That bootlegger whiskey he keeps on the shelf. Is as bad as the kind that he made for himself. ' I wonder what rubbish the bootleg- To deprive papa's breath of its darl-' ing old smell; It used to be pleasant when flavored with, gin, With a dash of vermouth and some bitters thrown in. veil hiskey, made kisses drink hootch from the Billy Sriencer, sitting In his austere­ ly furnished bedroom, looked unusually thoughtful. The night was still young, but his candle was not lit The whole house, indeed, was In darkness. He sat on the window sill and stared out into the night. At last he wan-, dered .back to the bedside, his hands thrust in his pockets. "The partner," he said pensively, "has got something or. her mind. A fellow doesn’t need any X-rays to see that.” His lipa curled down at the corners. “I’d give a lot to know what It la I hate to seem Inquisitive. But I’d hate a lot worse to have anything hap; pen to the partner. An’ I can sure1 smell trouble coming. She doesn’t fear mon or devil. But that isn't al­ ways ’go!n’ to help a girl. There’s times when It’s more useful to call up a husky with big feet—like me. “She’d sure be mad If she thought I was Interfering. And she can get mad—the partner. Gee! - but she's great! The 'dinkiest thing that ever happened. But I don’t like the way things are framing.” He stood for a- while, ns If listen^ Ing; then sighed and lay down on the bed, fully dressed. In twenty seconds he was asleep, breathing regularly and easily. It was a doglike sleep, of which some men hold the faculty, and very doglike was the manner in which Billy roused himself some hours later. In a moment he whs broad awake, and swinging his legs tiff the bed, sat lis­ tening with cocked ears. He movqd swiftly to tbe window and peered out. There was nothing to be seen. Billyremained where he was for some sec­ onds, all his senses alert. Then, with a gesture of decision, he snatched up his cap. heaved himself out of the window, and climbed down the trellis. He came silently under Aimee's bedroom' window, glanced up at the open casement, took a little nickel torch from bls vest pocket, and bent down. Shading the glow with his hand, he examined the soft soil be-, neath the window. There were five unmistakable neat little shoe-prints visible; the first pair deep and point­ ing Inwards to the wall, the others leading outwards. Bilb' at once ran noiselessly rounf to the garden gate and peered up ant! down the lane. No one visible. He returned quickly, got a rake from the shed, and carefully raked over -the footprints; also those beneath his own window. Then he made for the gate, and, aft£r a moment's thought, un­ locked the shed where the Flying Sphinx reposed. He wheeled the cycle out. freeing the engine, and tip­ toed softly down the path with it. Not till he was clear of the lane and well out on the high road did Billy start the Sphinx, and then only at a very gentle pace. At an easy seven miles un hour be ambled along tbe road, heading for-Jervaulx abbey. > It would have surprised Aimee Scroope considerably bod she guessed for one moment how for Billy was abreast of affairs. The carefree, in­ souciant Billy, who seemed to live for nothing but the Sphinx, was infinitely more wideawake than people gave him credit for. The cool blue eyes missed very little; the bruin behind them was able to connect • facts to­ gether shrewdly. Aimee had not the faintest suspi­ cion that anybody at Ivy cottage knew she had made an un .onventional exit by the window the night before. BUly, however, was perfectly well aware of the fact Early that same morning, before setting off for Syderford, -he had observed the footprints beneath her window, which, to h keen eye, told plainly that Aimce had dropped from the trellis, and later on had re­ gained her room by the same path. Clearly the partner had made a mid­ night excursion for a very definite ob­ ject; people do not roam the country­ side in the small hours for nothing. The Incident of the carriage on the Stanhoe road puzzled Billy; he had mentioned the carriage casually to Mrs. Sunning—saying nothing about the collision—and learned that It could belong to none other than Lady Erythea of Jervaulx abbey. He was told a good deal about rhat estabUahment. It was easier to start Mrs. Sunning talking than to stop her. Obviously, Amy had something to fear from Jervaulx; something that bound her to secrecy, and led her to run risks. It annoyed Billy that she should have anything to fear what- Hable to fall an’ break a cannon-bone. It’a the same with her. If she doesn’t want me, why she doesn't But if she does. Tm going to be right there.” He dismounted some little distance short of the park entrance. The dark pile of the abbey was visible, a quar­ ter of a mile across the grasslands. Billy paused and reflected. The Journey -coaid be nothing more than a scouting expedition. He wished very much that he had been closer on Almee’s tracks. Just then he-observed a light flash out In one of the abbey windows. Faint- tintlnnabulatory sounds were borne to him upon the night breeze— the clanging of a bril. He watched the house with alert and thoughtful eyes. In a few mo­ ments two dim figures became visible, moving swiftly. An imaginative on­ looker might have thought them to be goblins, gamboling across the sward. But they kept an uncommonly straight line, crossing the park and heading for a point a few hundred yards to Billy’s right. Two people—running swiftly. \ Billy followed them with his eyes. !£he foremost was long-limbed, scud­ ding along with giant strides. The other, close behind, moved ho less swiftly, but It was a figure of vague outlines, apparently wearing a clonk or dust-coat. They vanished from sight against the park fence where the fane turned. “If that ain't a hold-up,” said Billy, starting away from the fence, “there never was one yet!” He heard the cough and splutter of a starting motorcycle under tall trees far up the lane. For one moment he listened, than made a dash for the Sphinx. “A get-away!” said Billy. “My job!” He threw his leg over the' Sphinx and whirred off round the corner. He lifted his chin and gave a Joyous laugh, like the bay of a hound. The lust of. the hunter was in his blood. Th3 rider ahead, already aware that he was being chased, let out his ma­ chine at breakneck speed. The ray from Billy’s lamp showed him a man crouching low between the handle­ bars, his arms spread like the wings of a bat. On ths pillion behind crouched a small, muffled figure. “Give up!” shouted Billy, as he overtook them. “You can’t make It. I’ve got-you!” A hand stretched out from the fig­ ure on tne pillion, and emitted a bark­ ing flash of fire. It dazzled Billy for the moment Something zipped through his hair: automatically his left hand tightened on the valve-lifter and the Sphinx slowed, allowing tbe other cycle to shoot ahead. Billy made a lurid remark, and at once Increased speed again to close with the fugitives. Right ahead the lane forked on to the main road, and thither the driver of the other cycle was obviously heading. But the lights of a car were in sight, approaching rapidly on the road. The rider of the cycle had evidently no ambition to meet It; at the last moment he swerved left and continued along the narrow lane. Billy laughed aloud. . “The guy's cornered himself 1” he thought. “He's taken the blind alley. Me for him!" The lune was very rutty and uneven. The cycle ahead had vanished round a bend; Billy, shutting off his engine, swung round it immediately after­ ward. As he did so he heard a crash. The driver of the other cycle, realiz­ ing too late that he was In a cul-deaac, had swerved, braked violently, and came thoroughly to grief. Billy sprang from tbe Sphinx, let­ ting her fall on her side with the headlight still glowing. The other cycle lay prostrate; a small heap was huddled beside it on the grass. The taller man, the driver, was just staggering to his feet when Billy ran at him. The cyclist whipped out a repeating pistol. A gun, at night, and In the hands of a shaken man. is much less certain than a fist with, six feet of activity behind it Billy’s left dashed the pis­ tol hand aside, the bullet spat Impotently Into the air, and his right came with a terrific upper-cut beneath the man’s chin, lifting him off his feet to fall inert. As he came down, something skipped and rolled away from him along the grass, In the ray of the Sphinx's headlight. With the swift Instinct for loot BUly pounded upon It—a sumptuous looking little casa of leather, with a clasp. Bi Uy thrust it In his pocket and turned to tbe fallen man, who lay with closed eyes and his head moving faintly from aide to At that moment the fallen driver recovered and stirred, Billy turned his head toward him, with a quick instinct—tha danger lay closer at hand. The woman's hand was grasping a stone, and, as Billy turned, she brought her arm round with a sweep, swift as a striking snake. The chunk He Fell as an Ox Falls. of rock crashed full on the side of Billy’s head. He fell ns an ox falls. and lay still. The woman staggered and ran to her prostrate companion. “He's got his!’’ she panted. “You hurt, Jake?” She helped the man to rise. He stood dazedly for a moment; the spi­ nal jar from a knock-out undir the point of tbe chin is terrific, but evan­ escent. “Look lively an’ bent it!” gasped the woman, hauling the motorcycle upright with surprising ease. “See If the bulgtne'll run—we'll have the cops h^re next!” “Got to settle with him!’’ said the man thickly, glancing at the prostrate Billy. “He's all in, I tell you. Get her going r The man wrenched ths motorcycle round, and fumbled at the feed and Cpntrols with nervous fingers. While be did so the woman snatched up an­ other stone, and. running to the Sphinx, hammered on the anglne and She had dealt three or the levers. .............................. four lusty strokes when the other motorcycle came spitting and wob­ bling past her.' The woman ran to It and swung hersalf up deftly behind. “Let her out. We’ll clear yet!” The motorcycle, coughing and miss­ ing fire badly, trundled back down the lane the way It had come. Jack tbe Climber leaned to the hanilla-bars, Calamity Kate, her arms tight round him, settled herself on the pillion. Together they whirred away Into the darkness. \ CHAPTER XI Confession. It was very dark and vary quiet at the lane’s end when Billy at last stirred, and, after an interval of slowly returning consciousness, man­ aged to raise himself dizzily to a sit­ ting position. He pressed his hands to the side of his head and remained for awhile motionless, conscious of a damp warmth under his left palm. His eyes dwelt on a white, chalky stone, as big as a doubled fist, that lay on the grass beside him. Events began to reconnect themselvas In a brain that still buzzed faintly. “A granite skull," murmured Billy, not without a touch of pride, "isn’t altogether a disadvantage In an argu­ ment.” He looked about him 'thoughtfully. Not far away something gleamed in a rut—a small rep sating pistol. His late opponents had evidently left in too much of a hurry to take an in­ ventory of their effects. “She must have dropped that when the machine crashed,’’ thought Billy. "She loossd it at me when I was rid­ ing up. Lucky for me she hadn’t it just flow. Some girl I” He heaved himself to ills feet un­ steadily, made for a ditch where there was glitter of water, and bathed tha tender side of his head. The water revived him; save for a cut under his hair, no serious damage was done, though the blow might easily have cracked a weaker akulL "I don’t see that I shine much, ovar tills job," said Billy despondently; "they sure handed it to me.

The special attention of the post­ masters at offices where rural deliv­ ery routes are in operation is Invit­ ed to the need for improving the ap­ pearance of mail boxes on these routes. These boxes at the present time, as a rule present a very unsatisfact­ ory appearance, due to the fact that the galvanized or aluminum finish has worn off on account of exposure to the elements to such an extent that the base metal has been expos­ ed and in many cases has rusted. It is the purpose of the department to im­ prove the general appearance of the rural mail boxes throughout Abe country, so that they may be a credit not only to the Postal Service, but to the community through which the rural delivery route operates. It is desirable that the boxes be painted white with the name of the head of the family receiving mall in the box painted on both sides of the box in neat black tetters one inch in height; also that the painting be done at least once each year. It Is re­ quested aiso that the posts or sup­ ports be painted white. This will improve not only the appearance ot the boxes but will add materially to the life of the boxes and posts.—Ex­ tract from Postal Bulletin. * Hospital Ha* Many Visitors.

My nomination yesterday is a first ac­ ceptance of that offer. That Is what the situation means as far as 1 am concerned—an opportunity and an offer to go to work for the people. I feel confident of being elected. This is because of the assurances I have received from all over^the district. "Now that the primary is over and I am the nominee I want to empha­ size again my promise in going into the race. I want to be of some ser­ vice to the people, and to the coun­ try. That is the only thing that go­ ing to congress signifies to me. -1 doubtless could find an easier job— but none, I feel, which could be so satisfactory in its opportunities for service. “And if I go, I go without any per­ sonal or factional ends to serve and with no grudges to settle. I appre­ ciate the fine loyalty and helpfulness of those who worked for me in my campaign. But I'm not carrying any grievances against those who worked for some one else. IL I go to con­ gress I shall be at the call of any citizen in the district for any good purpose, for all that l ean do. "We want m^re whole-hearted ac­ tive support for government of, by and for all the people, and less man­ ipulation in the Interest of special privileges. - And leas promising of things to appeal to class selfishness or prejudice. Any class in this coun­ try can profit most from the govern­ ment that is good for all the people. 1 shall want to be known in congress, if 1 am sent there, as an energetic and interested representative of all the people in my district, regardless of any affiliation. "I am deeply grateful to the re­ publicans of the district for their expression of confidence, and to the hundreds of loyal friends who have done such excellent work for me. It’s especially good to see the majority I got in the, places in the district which I have called home—in Eaton county, in Battle Creek, and out in Richland township In Kalamazoo county, where my farm is and where I spend a good part of my time."

"Georgle told me it was my finish— even before this silly burglary hap­ pened,” continued Aimee gloomily. "Georgle knows about these sort of things. It isn’t the burglary that mat­ ters. I could get over that. It’s this— this other thing." Billy was silent. "The Idea Is," continued Atmee, with the same remarkable calm, "that I’ve lost my character;/like a houselhatd thaTs been stealing, or a groom caught selling the corn. Only I haven’t been caught—yet. "But—If Dad knew! You don’t know my father,-Billy. I couldn’t ex­ plain him to you. Dad is just about tbe dearest thing that ever lived—In bis way.

Now hold on while I tell you what we’ve got to do.” "Yest' said Aimee eagerly.

You bet your life I won’t. But—if I don’t get here by then, you must throw your hand in, just get straight to your father, best way you can. Do you promise that?" “Y-yes! But tell me what you're going to do, Billy!” she said breath­ lessly. "I can’t tell-you anything. I'll have to play the hand as It's dealt me; It just depends how the cards fall. And don’t you worry any!” he said ear­ nestly. "If you get doubtful or scary, just wash it right out of your mind, an’ say this: 'Billy’s running the thing for me, an’ heU see me through!’ I’m off.

Aimee replied with a rather tremu­ lous laugh. The next moment IJUly had dropped her hands, and was gone. Once clear of the crag-pits, Billy made for the road by another route. While climbing a gate he glanced at the'luminous dial of bis wrist watch, and emitted a whistle of consterna­ tion. Aimee’s account of herself was absorbing, but he did not realize till now what an unconscionable time they had spent In the cave. The night was nearing Its close. Billy avoided the roads. He struck right across country and reached ivy cottage with as little loss of time as possible. But the eastern sky was rapidly lightening when he arrived. Entering the garden with extreme cau tion, Billy found everything quleL He Climbed the trellis deftly, and heaved himself through Aimee's window. With a certain reuse of embarrass­ ment Billy swept the walls with his torch, unbooked the blue dust-cloak that hung on the door, folded it small, and packed'It Inside his Jacket That was the main object of the expedition. He also annexed a cake of soap, a towel and a brush and comb—these latter he had himself bought for Aimee at Syderford on tbe first morning. Billy again descended the trellis, raked over bls footprints carefully, and with all possible speed shook the mud of Ivy cottage from his feet It was broad daylight when he had crossed the fields and came within sight of Jervaulx abbey. He hid tbe cloak and its accessories under a thorn bush, glanced at bls watch again, seated himself under the hedge, and "S’op!" said Billy hoarsely. “Don’t say any more. I—I've got to think this thing out.” Aimee found that he had suddenly left her. Preserftly she became aware of the outlines of his big figure, stand­ Ing motionless just outside the cave He was there quite a long time. Ai­ mee sat’ where she was, twisting her handkerchief between her fingers. She felt very much calmer. The trouble and the stress were now with Billy. He came back, and stood over her. “I'm a coyote.” he said quietly. “What I need is a quirt laid across me. I've been a fool." “Not a bit I” said Aimee quickly. “How should you know?” “It was my business to know! There Isn't any excuse. But—things are so different, where I come from. And I don't know anything about women. We think a lot of women, down my way. but we don't talk about them—much. Partner, this thing I've let you in for through my foolish­ ness—it’s broken me all up." "Because I’m Lord Scroope’s daugh­ ter?” "No!” said Billy shortly. "Be the same if you were his housemaid. Bat it’s up to me to see you clear—you and him, too. And 1*11 do IL" His voice was -so confident that Aimee's trouble fell away from her; as a sun-ripened chestnut sheds Its prickly husk. “What are we to do then, Billy?" “It seems to. me,” said Billy gently, "that the simplest way Is .the best way. Let's you an* me go to the old man. No use talkin’ about It here. HI put it straight for you, partner." "No J" "I hope J can make him see sense­ even if he's two hundred years old, as you say. ft’s all my fault.

Finally he rose and walked briskly towards tbe entrut.ee lodge of Jervaulx. There was no electric bell In the great porch. He pulled a pendant bundle of wrought Iron, and wan An­ swered by an archaic clanging Inside. After a brief pause the doors were thrown ojm?d by Tarbeaux the butler. He loolTed at Billy Inquiringly. "I want to see the proprietor—on urgent business,” said Billy. “Is he up yet?" . "If you mean Lady Erythea Lambe.” said Mr. Tarbeaux with dignity, "her ladyship has not yefcrisen.” “I am a stranger here," said Billy, "but what I want you to do Is get a message to her ladyship that It will be worth her while to see me as soon as convenient. Say I’ve Important news about some property that’s miss­ ing from here.” Mr. Tarbeaux became more alert. “Come this way,” he said, and Billy followed him. In less than ten minutes Lady Erytbea arrived, pallid after her night of stress, but unconquerable, clad in a purple wrap. ■ Billy turned to face that tremendous presence. “What do you want to see me about?” she said sternly. With his sunniest smile, Billy Billy Laid Before Her the Lambe Em­ eralds. opened the leather case and laid be­ fore her the Lambe emeralds. CHAPTER XIII "Very Good, My Lady." “Do these Interest you, madame?” said Billy simply. Lady Erythea stared as though the green gems hypnotized her. Then, with a little gasp of Joy, she lifted them from the case with trembling fingers. It was one of the rare occa­ sions of her life when Lady Erythea exhibited emotion. * She laid down the necklace and looked at Billy as one might regard a materialized angel. Before . she could 'speak, however, Mr. Alexander Lambe entered the room. It has been said that Mr. Lambe’s eyes were large. They expanded In­ describably when he saw the Lambe necklace lying on the table. He closed the door, softly behind him. and ap­ proached the table in an awestruck manner. He glanced from the emeralds to Lady Erythea's face, and then, some­ what sternly, at Flly.. “How did you come by these T' said Lady Erythea, pointing to the em­ eralds. Suddenly she presented the ear-trumpet at Billy. “Explain!" The ear-trumpet startled Billy a little. He felt—so he declared to Aimee afterward—as If Lady Erythea had the drop on him. But his face, as he answered, was ingenuous as a baby's. “I was passing by your park gates early this m< rning. on my way to Sy­ derford. It was past one, an’ the house was dark,. When I got to the place where the lane turns Into the road I heard a motorcycle coming up behind, h—1 tor—coming mighty quick,” said Billy, turning pink. “It came right by me, pretty near out of control. It hadn't any lights, there was a bend just ahead, an’ I heard It crash.” Billy delivered this with a beautiful fluency into the ear-trumpet. "I just ran in on them,” pursued Billy, “for I didn’t have to stop an’ figure it out that an outfit traveling that way with lights out at one In the morning was up to any good. They were just picking themselves up when I arrived, and they went for me—’’ “Was It a mnn and- a woman?” ex­ claimed Mr. Lambe. “You’ve hit It, six." "My dear aunt 1” cried Alexander, “the Inspector tola me, after you re­ tired, that he suspected a man and a woman, on a motorcycle, of being the thieves! They.canzbe no other than those people who ran Into us yester­ day on the Syderford road—“ “Hold your tongue, Alexander,” In­ terrupted Lady Erythea impatiently, "and allow this amazing young man to continue!” “There was some scrap,” said Billy diffidently, "maybe If there’d been two men I'd have done better, but the lady, hampered me, and somehow I took the count. They knocked me out, and got away. But they left this behind them,” he pointed to the case pf em­ eralds, “and it looks like they never knew they'd loot it; I don't know, madam. If there was anything else of yours “they got. If so. I’m very sorry 1 didn’t attach It, and rope the two thieves for you as well. But, with the pair of them, it was rather a roughhouse. I did- my best’’ There was a flush of admiration on Lady Ery then's high cheek-bones. "Yew, there were other jewels sto­ len.” she said, "but their value is the merest trifle compared to what you have restored to me. These emeralds are my most ‘priceless family posses­ sion. They are historic—nothing could hare recompensed me for the loss of them. Your conduct has bees not only intelligent, but extraordi­ narily gallant. May I ask your name?*.’ “Spencer. William Spencer." “Mr. Spencer, It is impossible for me to express my gratitude in words. I thank you most heartily for what you have done; It is fortunate for me the emeralds, fell into such good hands. Let me say that I was about to offer a reward for Information leading to the recovery of the jewels; a reward of—’’ Lady Erythea hesi­ tated, and achieved an inward strug­ gle—“one hundred pounds. But I must really ask you to accept a hun­ dred and fifty.” I*ady Erythea unlocked a desk, and produced a check-book. Billy flushed red. "Madam,” he said quietly, “the serv­ ice I did you cost me nothing. I’m glad you have your jewels back. I’m a man who earns his living, but I don’t accept gratuities. And people very scarcely ever offer them to me.” Lady Erythea turned somewhat pink in her turn. She slid the check­ book aside. "I beg your pardon;" she said, with ' some embarrassment, mingled with re­ lief and a touch almost, of annoyance. “It was the least I could do. You will accept no recompense*’ “None, madam. Anyway not In money.” “You are not English, are you?’ “American. And a Westerner, at that." “Ah! You have done me a great I service. Is there nothing I can do fot* you?” Before Billy could reply, Mr, Tarbeaux opened the door. “M’lady, Inspector Panke—” Mr. Tarbeaux’s gaze fell on the em­ eralds. He was very human for a butler, and it took 1dm a fraction ot a second to recover himself. “Inspector Panke urgently desires to see your ladyship at once.” “Show him In here,” said Lady Erythea grimly. Billy did not move an eyelid. It seemed to him that Mr. Lambe’s sol­ emn eyes were watching him rather Intently. Inspector Panke appeared. It was a great day In the Lamhe em­ eralds' history. The Inspector was the fifth person in whom they caused intense emotion. "Weil, have you caught the thieves?" Inquired Lady Erythea, acidly. “No-no, my lady,” stammered In­ spector Panke. gazing at the necklace. "Perhaps you had better enlist the services of Mr. Spencer,” said her ladyship, with a wave of her hand toward Billy. "This young man has already found the emeralds and re­ stored them to me.” “Then,” said Panke. with a search­ ing glance at Billy, “I should like a full account, at once, of how you came by the jewels.’’ "Sure,” said Billy genially. Mr. Lambe set chairs for them both. All four seated themselves; Lady Erytl.ea, with an avid determination to keep abreast of affairs, held her ear­ trimpet close to Billy and the police­ man-. Billy repeated his tale with fuller detail this time, and described, not without a twinge of embarrassment, his downfall at the hands of Calamity Kate. Lady Erythea’s lips tightened grimly, the description did not sur­ prise her. The Inspector had his book before him and made careful notes. At the conclusion be regarded Billy pensively, and with a touch of envy. “It’s a pity you didn't hang on to them, when you’d got them In hand,” said Panke. “But. of course, we know what Calamity Kate is.” “Who?” echoed Billy. _ (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Major Graduation in Michigan, an affable gentleman, and the appointment is an exception­ ally good one. Col. Pepper was dep­ uty attorney general and his appoint­ ment has met with general approval. Mr. Potter and Mr. Odell were cer­ tain of reappointment cn account of the excellent record they have made In the past on the commission. Wm. W. Smith of §t. Johns was the only member dropped from the commis­ sion, the other vacancy being occa­ sioned by the recent death of Gen. Earl R. Stewart ot Grand Rapids. Immediately following the ap­ pointments the commission was re­ organized and Mr. Potter, who is a son of Capt. L. B.

Splendid Service# at Parts in After­ noon. Alvin E. Ewing Gives Patriotic Address. Boy Scout Band Helps. Ideal weather helped set the stage tor u fine observance ot Memorial day in Nashville, and the program tor the day as outlined in last week’s Newh was carried out In detail. The village was thronged with visitors who came to pay their respects to loved ones laid away here in the years that are gone, and many gath­ erings of families and .of old friends were held. Beautiful Lakeview cemetery was thronged with people throughout the day, tendprly caring for the last resting places of their loved ones and placing beautiful flowers on their graves. The Memorial day exercises were held at Putnam- park in the after­ noon, the Boy Scouts baud and a pa­ rade of school children with flags leading the way to the beautiful park, where hundreds of people gath­ ered under the trees surrounding the speakers' stand to listen to the pro­ gram. President George C. Deane calle! the assemblage to order and Rev. F. E. Putnam made the Invocation. The band played "America," while the audience stood uncovered. Frank Smith read Governor Groesbeck's Memorial Day Proclamation. A trio composed of Mrs. Leia Roe, Mrs. Dora Nelson and Mrs. Lelih Lentz phased the audience with a beauti­ ful song, after which Hon. C. L. Glasgow in well chosen language in­ troduced the speaker of the day. Hon. Alvin E. Ewing of Grand Rap­ ids. Mr. Ewing stirred the pride of ev­ ery citizen of Nashville by his haudatory remarks about our village, our beautiful pirk, our Boy Scouts and their excellent band, and then made a splendid patriotic address which was in every way highly appropriate for the occasion. This was Mr. Ewing's first appearance as a speak­ er in our village, but we hope it will not be his last, for he made an ex­ cellent Impression and he left some things with our people worth while thinking over. At the conclusion ot Mr. Ewing's address the band played "The Star Spangled Banner,” which the audi­ ence joined In singing, and the crowd was diseased with a benediction. SKULL FRACTURED BY FLYING BOARD FBOM SAW. Fordyce Showalter is thanking his lucky stars that he Is ‘’hard-headed,’’ otherwise he would have been cover­ ed with flowers before this time and the parson and the News would have been saying nice things about him. He was running a rip-saw at the Llebhau'ser mill Friday afternoon when a board was caught by the saw and thrown back with terrific force. The end of the board caught Fordyce squarely in the center of the fore­ head, just above the eyes, fracturing the outer table of the skull. He was taken to the office of Dr. E.' T. Mor­ ris, who removed the broken bits of bone, dressed the wound and sewed it up, and Ford is almost himself again, except that he will take a couple of weeks of rest. • Certainly a dose call from instant death, and Ford Is mighty lucky to get out of it as well as he did. BLIZZARD FAMILY REUNION. A -reunion of the Blizzard family was held in the village Saturday, June 2, at the home of Mrs. H. A. Offley.

Following a bountiful dinner served on the lawn at noon, a short program was given by the younger folks and a business meeting was-held, re­ sulting in the election of Mrs. Bar­ clay of DeWitt as president, Mrs. Mina Offley of Woodland secretary, and Mrs. Van Dyke of DeWitt treas­ urer. It was voted to hold the next reunion at DeWitt on the second Sat­ urday in May. MRS. LOUISA SPIRE DEAD.

Ball Team Wins Right to Represent County at Charlotte Meet. The deciding game in the series between the Nashville and. Hastings high schools was played at River­ side park Monday afternoon, and the result can leave no doubt as to the supremacy of the local team. The final tally stood 7 to 1, the countysehtera narrowly escaping another shut-out*: Sprague ' was on the mound for Nashville, and was nick­ ed for seven safeties, but he pitch­ ed air-tight ball in the pinches and Hastings* lone tally came as a result of a muffed ball in the outfield. Rose started for Hastings, but was too generous In issuing free passes to first and was replaced in the fourth by a left-hander, Card, who finished the game in fine shape. Nashville made but four safe hits, three of them two-baggers, and all of them counted In the scoring. In the first inning / Teddy ' Townsend, first man up, drew a pass and the trouble started. He started for sec­ ond on the first ball pitched and the catcher threw the ball into center field.' Teddy kept right on and com­ pleted tho circuit when Laubaugb heaved the ball over O'Donald's head. Sprague laced out a two-bagger and scored a moment■ later on Vance’s hit past first. Five more tallies were added in the fourth. McIntyre drew a pass. Morris hit to Martin, who made a bad peg to first, McIn­ tyre going to third on the play and' scoring while Riley slept peacefully with the bail in his hands. Brumm drew another pass. Townsend res­ cued Morris and Brumm with a twobase hit to -center field. Sprague made a sacrifice hit. Springett was safe at first when Martin muffed his grounder, Townsend scoring, and Johnson brought in Springett with another two-bagger. Hastings' score was made in the seventh. Card hit a long fly to center, which Brumm got under af­ ter a hard run but muffed, and the runner stopped at second. Ryan, next man up. hit a liner past short, bringing in the tally. • The figures of the game follow: HASTINGS — ‘ h Ryan. 2nd . . I. .5 0 0 Martin, ss. . . 0 0 3 Bulling.

Just thirty-three years ago, the premier performance of Terry's Big Uncle Tom’s Cabin took place at Little Sioux, Iowa, and eyery year as regular as the seasons come, Lit­ tle Sioux turns out en masse to wit­ ness the time honored production; ev­ ery year it Sees the same grand old play, characterized by the- best of’ players, and every year it is pro­■ claimed better than ever. Seasonsi come and seasons s^, and the same’ high standard is maintained in the। production of Terry’* Uncle Tom’si Cabin. It ranks as foremost, and the only real company of the kind ini existence, a company that has stoodI the test, playing to the same aud­ iences every year for a third of • century, a record that will be hard to duplicate. Harriet Ward Beecher Stowe’s famous story of slavery before the Civil war is well represented in the Terry dramatization of the well known story, and as produced by this excellent company, the presen­ tation is an Ihtere&ting one. It is given in its entirety, just as depicted by the authoress. The company is one ot the strongest ever organized, the acting cast composed of some fifty of the very best talent; the massive scenic and electrical effects, which have helped make the name Terry famous, are complete in every detail, and are the marvel of the scenic builders* craft. The large company travels in their own rail­ road cars, especially constructed to handle the stupendous equipment, which also includes a model electric plant, the largest portable stage ev­ er GOB&ructed, and a monster beau­ tiful tent theatre. . . The musical contingent Is 'excep­ tional. Two bands of music and a large operatic orchestra, composed of solo musicians, completes this-well balanced organization.

That the farm poultry flock is still the most popular and widely distributed "crop" in Michigan is shown by statistics just released at the Michigan Agricultural College which Indicate that 180,000 of the state's 196,000 farms, or 92 per cent maintain a poultry flock. The fact that the average number of birds per flock is given as 62 is further indication that poultry sub­ jects are of almost universal inter­ est among the farmers of the state. Estimates place the value of Mich­ igan poultry at the surprising total of 811,600,000, while the value of poultry buildings and equipment is placed at almost the same total, ac­ cording to H. M. Eliot, farm man­ agement specialist at M. A. C., who has been making a detailed study ot the state’s poultry industry. This brings the total Investment to more than 820.000.000. Products from this investment in 1919 totaled 834.900,000 divided in823,500,000 worth of eggs and |11.400.000 worth of poultry proper, ac­ cording to the 1920 census.

It certainly does seem like a long time before the opening of the fish­ ing season, which officially occurs Saturday of this week, and many an ardent fisherman has been woefully tempted. Then, too, it’s just barely possible that as a man gets along to­ ward middle'age, like Henry Roe, be gets a little absent minded, or some­ thing. Anyway, either Henry dream­ ed the season was open, or that he was immune from the eye of the game wardens or something like that, for he went fishing over on Lake One Monday afternoon and he had real joaay is r lag x>ay. We hope that every home and business place in Nashvllle will observe the day by a proper display of the Flag. Put out the Flag. It doesn’t matter so .much what size the flag is.

EDITORIAL WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS. Two new championship cups come Nashville as the r^ultof good •work done by Nashville people. The ■winning of the B. E. I. A. champion­ ship cup by the sturdy athletes of the Nashville schools, in competition with the schools of such, cities as Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge and Hastings is a noteworthy feat and one which will mean much In the history of Nashville schools. Winning a cup means nothing much in Itself, or as far as the cup itself is concerned. What counts Is the clean living, conscientious practice and strenuous effort com­ bined to produce the athlete who thus demonstrates his athletic su­ periority over his fellows. The de­ termination to bring honors to his school is only good practice In pre­ paration for the battle of life, in which healthy bodies, clean minds and an ability to concentrate the best that is in one to the business in hand means success. All honor to the Nashville boys whose good work brings this new glory to our schools. The winning of a silver cup by the •‘Lesson of Friendship” team of Ivy lodge brings honor to the individuals ■who participated, to the lodge of Knights of Pythias to which they be­ long and to the village of Nashville. To have won the cup against the strenuous competition furnished by .the excellent team from Muskegon gives the boys much satisfaction and a determitiation to do even better ■work in the future. The winning of -three out of four individual prizes of­ fered only helps to prove the excel­ lence of the work done by the team. The winning of championships in all lines of the work of the world means determination, ability and a willingness to give close attention to all details of the matter in hand, and we congratulate Nashville on hav­ ing so many boys and men who are competent to go forth and win in competition with the cream of neigh­ boring towns and cities. It speaks •well for our ability and energy. same men would be highly Indignant it they were called to book for it. For instance, there Is no driver of an au­ tomobile who is not fully aware that the law requires him co take the long turn at street intersections In case he is turning to the left; A wrecked automobile lying beside the highway at Knoll's corners Sunday told the story without words of what is likely to happen when this is not done. The man making the right hand turn has the right of way, and If . a collision occurs the other fellow is responsi­ ble for all damages to property and individuals. Yet you know men who persistently and wilfully violate thia good and plain law on every occa­ sion when they, make a left hand turn. That Is pure.stubbornness and nothing else. The man who drives a horse-drawn outfit at night with­ out displaying a light not only takes bis own life in his hands, but also the lives of other people, which he has no legal or moral right to do. yet we all know people who simply will not display such a light. That is pure stubbornness, and nothing else. Respect for his own pocket­ book and his own liberty ought to prevail upon him to do what he knows is the right thing, yet night after night people drive the highways without displaying a light. The man who wilfully refuses to obey the laws, and who Is thereby the cause of somebody being killed or serious­ ly injured has no standing in court in case of action. He is self-convicted. The man who deliberately throws down a lighted match or a lighted ci­ gar or cigarette stub is nothing less than a criminal. He may be a good fellow and he may mean no harm, but the damage caused by the fire which he thus starts is no less than as though ho had Intentionally start­ ed the fire. Don't bo careless with the lives and property of other peo­ ple. And above all, don't be stub­ born. It doesn't get you anywhere. Y. M. C. A. CAMP. The track events at Camp Barry and the dally baseball games along with volley ball and basket ball con­ tests between tents all go to make the daily program at camp one that will be thoroughly enjoyed by all the H. S. athletes. Last year the best athletes pf the county were there. We expect them this year. Prizes are given at Camp Barry for excellence along all lines and ev­ ery boy has an equal chance-at these beautiful and worthy awards. En­ roll now and make sure of your va­ cation; also help the committee on arrangements. The last day of each section is vis­ itor’s day when we hope that the parents can come and enjoy one day at camp. A picnic dinner is a‘fea­ ture, then the campers can accompa­ ny their parents home.

C. HURD JERRY CAPEN �LUMN By Fike .The. picture which combines mag­ nificent scenic beauty with a thrill­ ing story .is "The Valley of Silent Men,” adapted from James Oliver Curwood's famous novel of the same name as a Cosmopolitan production, and released by Paramount. Those familiar with the novel, which ran serially tn Good House­ keeping Magazine in 1920. will re­ call that it is a story of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, with the Rocky Mountains for a background. It is a picture of tremendous power, baring as It does the souls of five men and a woman who are Isolated in a little narrow valley. ♦ For the purpose of imparting, this realism to the screen, the entire company went to Banff, in the Cana­ dian Rockies, and there practically every foot of the action was enacted and photographed. Tbe result, apart from the dramatic value of the pro­ duction. is a picture of unsurpassed scenic beauty. The picture, which was directed by Frank Borzage, and which fea­ tures Alma Rubens at the head of a small but powerful cast, is coming to the Park theatre next Wednesday and Thursday, June 20 and 21. It is well worth seeing. "East is Eeast and West Is West, and never the twain shall meet,” sang it popular bard, yet east was west and west was uast to one bunch of Pythians who attended the West­ ern Michigan Pythian league meet­ ing at Greenville Friday evening.

The morning ran, full of the prornIs* of m fair day, shone through the windows at the long drawing room. Aitnee. in.« snow-white cap at>d apron, was wielding a feather brush among priceless knick-knacks. Her manner pf dusting was desultory. *'I wonder how long I can stick itF she murmured In despondent tones. A Watteau shepherdess escaped destruc­ tion by a miracle. •In air my life I never saw such a lot of frumps. And the taste It leaves In one’s mouth—It’s awful. It’s all very well aitting tight and saying nothing. I shall break out—I know I shall, unless I can see Billy soon.’’ . She observed a large photograph of tbe Rev. and Hon. Alexander Lambe, in an ornate silver frame, standing on a table. Aimee recognized tbe por­ trait. and flicked at It viciously with the feather brush. She miscalculated, the portrait crashed on to the floor. When she picked it np the glass was shattered. “That's torn It All breakages come off my wages. I wish it had been his silly face!” At that moment Miss Georgina Ber­ ners entered by one of the French win­ dows. She was aware of a slimmer and more youthful figure than any she had yet seen In the household. Georgina made a point of always being civil to rter hostess' servants. “Are you the new parlor maid?" she said amiably. Aimee turned and faced her. “Hullo. Georgle!" she acclaimed. Georgina, during the last three days, had suffered more than any placid sou! should be called upon to end,ure. She stared wildly for a moment at the slim form In the cap and apron. Georgina had arrived at the breaking-point She collapsed backwards Into an arm­ chair; a series of shrill whoops came from her; her hands beat the air. ‘‘Georgina!" cried her cousin in a panic. “For pity’s sake don’t do that You’ll give the whole show away!” “Hpnkl Honk! Honk!’’ said Georginl. Aimee had once heard a physician declare that sympathy and kindness merely made hysterics worse. It was time to change the treatment. She grabbed her cousin by the shoulders. “Shut up that beastly row I" said Aimee fiercely, shaking her till her teeth rattled. “Stop It! Do-you want to get me handcuffed and put In the cells 1 Idiot!" Georgina gasped, choked, and sat up. She clung to her cousin desper­ ately. “I will be quiet. I will," she said faintly. “Wh-wha-what does it mean, Aimee? Why—r “Try to behave like a reasonable be­ ing, and HI tell you." “Yes, yes! I'm better now, dear." Aimee Inspected her and, judging the danger to he past, kissed her af­ fectionately. After a cautious glrnce at the windows she proceeded, as Billy would have phrased It, to put her cousin wise. Georgina, having heard her to the end, pressed both hands pathetically to the sides of her head. "And—you’re living in the servants' hall?” she said feebly. “It’s no catch, I can tell you, Georgle. But one mustn't grumble. Billy’s living at the garage—!r. it green uniform with brass buttons." 'That—that extraordinarily good­ looking young chauffeur?" said Georg­ ina, staring at her. ‘Then hells—" “Now don’t get sentimental," said Aimee warnlngly. ".Yes, he Is not badlooklng, Is he? Billy’s great. If it hadn't teen for him—” she checked herself. "Don't you see what an ex­ cellent arrangement it is, my being here—In spite 'of the little draw­ backs?” Georgina gave a sigh—positively of relief. “It’s tetter than having you wan­ dering about tbe country, getting into all sorts of horrible scrapes. It will have to come out soon, and tljen Lady Erythea—” “Yes, yes. Never mind Aunt. What I want you to do, Georgle, Is this—oh, bother! Look out!" Almee seized her brush and, darting to the rideboard, began dusting busily. A step was heard on the gravel, and Sir. Alexander Lambe entered by the window. “Cousin Aimee, you are looking pale," he said in tones of concern. "It is delightful out of doors, the air Is so balmy. Shall we—er—take a Uttle walk in the rose—" Alexander stopped short, and his features froze. H* had caught right of Aimee's face, with the light full upon It reflected In the mirror before her. He stared for a moment with remarkable intentness. "Who is this?" he said stiarply, step­ ping towards her. There was menace In his voice. “Who are you?' Aimee, preparing to meet her des­ tiny, turned composedly and faced him. She dropped him a small curtsey. "Please sir, the parlor maid," she said. Mr. Lambe's eyes were nearly start­ ing out of bls head. “Parlor maid? Your he said stern­ ly. "You are the woman who drove that motorcycle. I could vouch for you anywhere. Yon are"—he shot the words out with extraordinary ve­ hemence—•'you are that abandoned creature. Calamity Kate! You are the woman who knocked me down !** With unexiterted agility he sprang Lady Erythea laid aside her knit­ ting, and picking up a lorgnette, in­ spected the new parlor maid with Icy deliberation. Almee, though present­ ing an unmoved front, trembled in­ wardly. There was a faint chance that her aunt might recognize the fe­ male cyclist. Lady Erythea’s lips tightened to a thin line. “I was given to understand." she said in the voice of counsel for the prosecution, “that you were consider­ ably less prepossessing in appearance than I fihd you.” “Yes, m’ lady," said Almee meekly. "H’m!" said Lady Erythea. The lorgnette continued to direct it­ self at the parlormaid’s face. "Really, Anthony ' should wear stronger glasses,’’ muttered Lady Erythea. Tire neatness of tbe girl, however, her demure air, and the hid­ eous manner in which her hair was dressed, diluted her ladyship’s disap­ proval a Uttle. "I need not examine you as to your capacity for your du(le3, or your char­ acter. These have been vouched for by Lord Scroope. My housekeeper will Instruct you in the rules of the estabHslimenL which al! my domestics are required to keep rigidly. There Is, however, one warning that I must give you.’’’ She wtre interrupted by the arrival of the butler with a telegram. Lady Erythea opened It; Its message was not unwelcome to her. “Car broken down. Regret impos­ sible arrive Jervaulx. No time. Must leave for Closeminster tonight “ANTHONY." ‘There Is no answer," she Raid to the butler. “Lord Scroope is prevent­ ed from coming. Cancel the orders I gave you regarding his arrlvul." “Very good, my lady." Aimee's heart leaped with joy. But her face remained unmoved. She con­ tinued to look demurely at the carpet. "I was about to warn you,” said Lady Erytlrea, "that your predecessor was discharged at a moment's notice for allowing one of my menservants to make advances to her of an ama­ tory nature." “I. don’t understand, my lady," said Almee faintly. "She permitted," said Lady Erythea grimly, “my cteuffeur to kiss her." The startled look of horror and dlsgURt which Almee’B features respect­ fully expressed, carried conviction even to Lady Erythea’s mind. Tt Is an unplearant subject," said her ladyship, “which I should have wished to spare myself mentioning to you. It was necessary, however, to dear the ground. I hope to hear good reports of you. You may go to the senants' hall." Almee bobbed to her mistress, and left the room quietly. Outside she found Mr. Tarbeaux waiting for her. Everything depends on the angle from which one regards so supreme a person as the butler. The new parlor maid looked at him timidly. Mr. Tarbeaux, With an air of mingled satisfaction and apprehension, conducted her to the women-servants’ halt The housekeep­ er was absent. At Jervaulx the male and female sen-ants were segregated In separate apartments for meals. Mr. Tarbeaux took his charge to a room next the vast kitchens, where a meat tea was in progress, presided over by a cook of vast adiposity. The pagebc- was the only male in the room. Mr. Tar­ beaux presented the newcomer In form. “Ladles," te said gravely, •'Miss Amjr Snooks. Late of Scroope Tow­ ers." AndXook his leave. Almee said “good-evening" shyly, and seated herself. It occurred to her that she had never seen so many plain women gathered at one table. With the exception of the cook, they were all angular and scraggy. Pulling her­ self together with an effort, Almee took a generous mouthful from a slice of thick bread and butter. The fewer words-the better, until she knew her ground. She seemed to detect an air of faint hostility in the others. “What’s the feedin’ like at Scroope?” asked an elderly housemaid opposite her. In a hollow voice. “They fare pretty good," said Aimee, with her mouth full of bread and but­ ter, "but the place is dull. I been at home some time.” “You won’t be ’ere long,” said the pagetey regretfully, neglecting his tea to stare at her. “Why notF Mid Aimee with some pertBeM. “You’re a sight too good-lookin’,” re­ forward and seized Almee by the plied the page gloomily.

Georgina dropped Into a chair and began to cry. Alexander, taking his hand from the bell, wondered if she had suddenly become Insane. “Quite right," said Almee. With the calm 6f despair she planted fteractfjp front of him, her eyes defiant “I am your klk-klk-Courin Almee. And that's my cousin, Georgina Berners. I made her take my place here, because I thought it would be dull, and Dad In­ sisted on my coming. So- now call the police. Cousin Allck, and let’s get it over." It seemed to Alexander that he had suddenly been transported Into Bed­ lam. He stared from Almee to the gently sobbing Georgina. And then, as the door began to open, Mr. Lambe turned swiftly and caught the handle, preventing the intruder from entering. "Did you ring, miss?" Inquired Mr. Tarbeaux's voice. “A mistake," said Alexander, quick­ ly. "I will ring If I want you." He closed the door, and peered searchingly at Almee. “I do not understand what this means," he said coldly, “but it does not seem an occasion for the intrusion of servants. We are alone. Will you explain?’ Almee felt a sudden relief; a twinge almost of gratitude. She had not ex­ pected Alexander to do anything so sensible. “I’ll make It clear If I can," she said, and, looking Alexander In the face with an angelically simple expres­ sion, she told him the tale from the beginning, briefly, yet comprehensive­ ly. As she was speaking, Almee watched Mr. Lamoe’s face. The waves of emotion that passed over bis usu­ ally serene features made them Inter­ esting, suggesting some delicate In­ strument subjected to shocks for which it had never been designed At the end he was gasping faintly, like a stranded but still dignified fish. "And so," concluded Almee, “you see It’s a piece of my skirt the police have got. And it was I who tripped yon up the stairs. I’m sorry—Coufiln," Mr. Lambe passed a somewhat un­ steady hand across his forehead. He looked st Almee, and then turned slowly to Georgina. “Miss Berners—” he said. Georgina’s answer was a sob. Imme­ diately Aimee stepped across, raised her from her chair and, with an arm round her wrist faced Alexander. “Stop! Not a word from you to Georgina I" she said ;defiantly. There’s no one to blame but me. Everything she’s done, I made her do. She want­ ed me to own up. AIL this, she’s done to try and save me. Georgie s the best thing that ever happened." Alexander looked at Almee. "My dear child,” he said gently, T have only one wish and that is to help you." Aimee's Ups parted; sire stared at him Incredulously. She saw tire most human sympathy In the clean-shaven, priestly face; the kindliest light in his large eyes. “Miss Berners," said Alexander, still more gently, “will you leave me with your cousin? I should like to speak to her alone. I will see you | presently, If you will give me an op­ portunity." Georgina nodded brokenly, and moved to the window. “Georgle." whispered Almee quickly, as she passed, "meet me by tbe Uttle arbor down the gardens in half an hour—It won’t be safe here—after this." Almee and Alexander were left to­ gether, facing each otter. There was an embarrassed pause. 'Tell me. Cousin." Raid Alexander, quietly, “why have you done this mad , thing?" ’’Well^’ said Almee, for once at a loss, "I—you see—I was afraid of you, Alexander.’' She glanced up at him almoet shyly. ‘I didn’t want to come .............................. ■—* tv J-rv.utx, 1 ttouftu U wouM aalt Georgle much better than me." Alexander’s firm Up* twitched very slightly. “I got fed up at home/’ continued Almee, desperately. “Everybody wee so solemn. They drove me to it! I just did It on the Impulse. And then I —things sort of happened—I—" She made an impatient, hopeless gesture with her hands. 'Oh, what’s the use of talking al>out it? It’s done, and here I am in this wretched mesa Police after me, and— everything! You've found me out— you can give me away. What are you going to do?" ' "There Is only one thing to do," said Alexander. "Make a clean breast of It" Almee’s Ups tightened. "Come with me to Aunt Erythea,” said Mr. Lambe soothingly. "I will ac­ company you. . I’D do everything I can for you. There Is no other way. For I can see," be said, "that you have courage." “No," said Almee decisively, “it Is Impossible." Alexander's eyes became keener. He looked a Uttle contemptuous. "Are you afraidY’ he said. “Do you not see that you must face the conse­ quences of this foolish thing you have done? Once the truth Is told, you have nothing to fear from the police.” ‘The police!" rah! Almee scornfully. Tm not afraid of the police. I'm ' not much afraid of Aunt Erythea. It Isn’t that at all. It's—the other thing." "What other thing?" Almee looked at him with growing embarrassment. “Oh!" she said st last, desperately, “have I got to put it In so many words? My staying at Ivy cottage! Didn’t you understand what I told you? I was there—two nights." Mr. Lambe, to her surprise, did not look forbidding or censorious. Instead, he looked a little puzzled. And In that moment Almee conceived a liking for Alexander. “Now that I hare seen you, and heard your story," he said, "I attach no importance to that Incident, what­ ever" "Ah," said Almee sadly, “but other people will, you see." Alexander suddenly flushed crimson, and he avoided Ain»re’si*eye. But his face grew peculiarly grim. “I have only this to say. That man—that Spencer—who dared to ex­ pose you to such a situation, la the culprit I wish to see. He deserves—" Almee’s heel smote the floor. “Not a word against Billy! It’s he who saved me, right from the begin­ ning. He begged me to let him own np. But he has kept my secret at his own risk, because I wanted It kept He is a gentleman!" Alexander winced. At that moment, out of tiie tail of her eye, Almee caught sight of a tall figure In over­ alls crossing the gravel-walk beyond the lawn. "Here he Is!" exclaimed Aimee. “Let him answer for himself, if you want to see him." She ran to the window and called recklessly: "Billy!" Mr. William Spencer looked towards her, glanced quickly left and right to see If the coast was clear, and hurried to join Almee. He stepped In through the window. "Billy,’’ said Almee, “this is my Cousin Alexander. And he’s — he knows all about IL It seems this is our finish, Billy." The two men turned and faced each other. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Rest From Labor.

A man weighing 150 pounds con­ tains approximately 3,500 cubic feet of gases—oxygen, hydrogen and ni­ trogen—In his constitution. This, -at 80 cents per 1000 cubic feet, 'would be worth $2,80 for illuminat­ ing purposes. He also contains all the necessary fats to make a 15 pound candle and thus, together with his 3,500, cubic feet of gases, he possesses consider­ able illuminating possibilities. His system contains 22 pounds and 10 ounces of carbon, or enough to make 780 dozen, or 9360 toad pen­ cils. There are about 50 grains of iron In his blood, and the rest of his body would supply enough ot this metal to make a spike large enough and strong enough to sustain his •■weight. A healthy man contains 54 ounces ot phosphorus. This deadly poison would make 8^0,000 matches, or enough to kill 500 persons. This, with two ounces ot lime, is what makes the stiff bones and the. brain. He contains about GO lumps of sugar of the ordinary cubical dimensions, and 20 spoonsful of salt. If a man were distilled into water he would make about 38 quarts, or more than half his entire weight. He also contains a great deal of starch, chloride of potash, magnes­ ium, sulphur and hydrochloric acid in his system. Truly "man is fearf-liy and wonderfully made.” Now here’s the recipe. Break 1,000 eggs, including the shells, in­ to a large pan or basin, and you have the material to make a man from his toe-nails to the most delicate tissue of his brain. 01’ Ab tj’ied to play second base.

I do not like to ree you wearing that pal­ lid and constrained expression. Your sister will be quite concerned about you.’ She arrives, you remember, by the evening train." “Diana!’’ said Mr. Lambe. “I had quite forgotten that she was due here." Georgina started slightly, and looked perturbed. "She Is coming," said Lady Erythea, “to Investigate the Jervaulx ghost Certainly, she might have done it be­ fore. But I believe she has only re­ cently become a member of the Psy­ chical Research society. She Is quite enthusiastic at>out it—so far as Diana can be enthusiastic about anything. Indeed, her letter Is so technical as to be unintelligible to me.” “T did not know there was a ghost here," said Georgina, wide-eyed. "I should not like to say that there Is. But It is a tradition In the family, and has bben well vouched for. I have never seen It. Diana seems to Imply," added Lady Erythea a little oddly, “that only those who are ad­ vanced. and in tune with the infinite, see such things.

"Descent Is the word," said Mr. Lambe rather curtly, und left the room. "How !<>ng is—Dbmu going to stay here?" Georgina asked anxiously. “Two days—but it is possible she may be persuaded to prolong her visit,” said her ladyship placidly. "What Is the Vicomte de Jussac like?’ "D’Artagnan—In the flesh. With a touch, perhaps, of Porthos. The type which it is a good woman's mission to reform.

"What does this mean?’ he said sternly. “Diana’s found me out, and she's going to tell Aunt, first thing in the morning,” said Aimee, with tlie calm of despair. "And I’ve Uld Monsieur de Jussac. I simply had to ten some­ body. And everybody will know to­ morrow." “Bather a delicate position, Mon­ sieur le Cure—eh?’ said Bertrand dryly, and not without satisfaction. Alexander flushed to the earg and hung bis head. He looked so ashamed and wretched that Aimee felt a pang “For myself," lie said unsteadily, “I will face the exposure and the pen­ alty—for I have deaprved It It Is yen, Aimee, that I should have wished to save.

He seized Al­ exander's hand and shook it with heartfelt warmth. “Never reproach yourself, mon omi. From first to Inst, you have acted en ga'.unt homme!* “You*ve been a brick, Alexander.

Alexander looked at his cousin. “I will go, then,’ he said, “on con­ dition that you return to your room immediately, Aimee." “All right, I will." “Assuredly—she shall go at once I Till the morning then, Monsieur 1’ Abbe, and have no fear.

Since the coldness ol Lady Diana was tjie main difficulty, Bertrand’s thoughts concentrated naturally upon he!1, find it is to be^feared that Aimee’s predicament faded into a secondary place. Allowances must be made for those swayed by the grand passion.

The English are a great nation, but severe— severe.’ He passed his hands over the breastplate. It detached quite easily from the stand. With a sud­ den impulse Bertrand fitted it to his broad chest, passing his arm through the thongs that had held it to the stand.

Brother Peighner, of the Nashville News, doesn't agree with our editor­ ial of June 14 commenting on Tax Exempt bonds, and insists that to tax bonds creates double taxation. Jt is a double tax, of course, unless ev­ ery piece of property against which there is an indebtedness is exempt­ ed from taxation to the amount of the debt. But there is also double taxation now, Jones is paying his tax and Smith, who loaned him the mon­ ey is not paying any. There is just so much money to be raised for pub­ lic expense. If Smith is exempted from paying, then Jones must pay his own share and Smith's also, for the money must come. If every dol­ lar of value, of every kind and char­ acter, in the State of Michigan, was placed on the tax roll and town boards and city councils and school boards and supervisors and legis­ lators would keep expenses down ev­ en to where they are now, the rate of taxation would fall so low tnat no one could complain. But as long as expense of government keeps going up more and more money is taken out of business and put into the tax ex­ empt bonds and thus off the tax rolls, just so will tax rates keep mounting to the man who wants to put his mon­ ey into his own business where it cannot be hid from the assessor. in the no distant future people, yes, even legislators, will learn that it is financial suicide* to permit the income from state and municipal bonds to go free. We cannot afford to wait in amending our state laws so as to atop this loophole for tax dodging. Delay In doing this is costing taxpayers and consumers mil­ lions annually. • Taxing the income from state and municipal bonds will tend to dis­ courage local extravagance, equalize tax burdens and increase revenues to municipalities. — Ingham County News. We altogether agree with Brother Brown on the above proposition, if the legislature can find some way to avoid double taxation, which is the biggest "if” we know ot. it there has ever been in any city or in any state or in any country a method evolved by which double taxa­ tion is avoided, we would like to see tjie prescription. As things are now. a man has say $5,000. He buys a farm or any oth­ er business for which he pays say $10,000. Promptly the assessor jots him down for $10,000 valuation and he pays taxes not only on what he owns but also on the portion he doesn't own, and the real owner of the other half gets off free, or prac­ tically so. What a man should pay taxes on is the amount he is really worth. A going business should pay taxes on what it has In stock, be it farm, store or shop, on what it has coming from other people in bills receivable, less bills payable and other bona fide ev­ idences of indebtedness. That would be right. But will it ever be done? We doubt It. IRRESPONSIBLE DRIVERS. The greatest menace o( the high­ way today is the irresponsible driver of the motor car. Probably ten per cent or more of motor cars are driv­ en by people who are not worth much if anything above the value of the car they drive. "Most ot these peo­ ple are careful drivers, at that, but there are some of them who are ha­ bitually and criminally careless. The same thing is undoubtedly true of many other drivers, who may be well fixed In this world s goods, but there is this difference. If the responsible party is the cause ot an automobile wreck, he can be brought into court and made to settle, while the injured party has absolutely no recourse in case the party at fault has no prop­ erty on which a judgment can lie. And there Is another difference, and that is that the man who has property and is collectable realizes that fact and is more likely to guard, against accident than the man who knows he is exempt from payment. We believe the time is coming, in view of the increasing congestion of the highways with motor cars, when every man who takes out a license on a car will be required at the same time Uj put up an indemnity bond for a reasonable amount, as a measure of protection to other users of the highways. Otherwise, the reckless driver may well say "BlessoJ be nothing.” and go on his murderous way. Possibly a rigorous patrolling of the highways by state and county police and the withdrawal of driv­ ers' licenses from outlaw drivers may in time make the highways safe, but it Is time strenuous methods were employed. There are altogether, too many fool drivers. ABOUT KIDS AND FIREARMS. What the dickens are parents thinking of when they buy target rifles or other firearms for children? la there an answer? We wonder. So many terrible accidents have happened through the careless use of firearms by youngsters. Of course our kids are so much smarter than other folks' ordinary kids that we just know there Is no danger. We are absolutely sure that our kids won't get into mischief, because they are not ordinary kids. That must be the reason.

It Is possible that Aimee was right when site said that all women are natural actresser. in time of need. Georgina's assumption of astonishment at hearing Lady Erythsa's news was wholly assumed, and not assumed badly. The announcement was, tn fact no news at all to her. Having an excellent seuse of direc­ tion, Georgina soon discovered Mr. Al­ exander Larnbe walking on the shel­ tered paths of the old yew garden be­ yond the chapel-at-ease. He looked quite as relieved as Georgina. And his eyes lit up wonderfully when he saw her. He hurried forward to meet her. "Mr. Larnbe—1” exclaimed Georgina. Mr. Larnbe halted, andjpoked deeply pained. “Have 1 offended you?” he said al­ most wistfully. “I thought you gave me perifilgsloq—’’ “Alefftti^er,” murmured Georgina, flushing very attractively. ’That is better," said Mr. Larnbe, regarding her with grateful eyes. "Have you seen your cousin?” “Yes,” said Georgina pathetically. “Aiinee .*ame Into my room very early tills morning; she told me Hip dreadful thing that had happened—that your sister had discovered her and was going to tell Lady Erythea—and then, when I was nearly frantic with terror, Aimee explained that it was nil right, and Lady Diana wouldn't suy a word about it. Oh, what a relief it was!" “She told you that!" cried Alexan­ der, amazed. “How could she have known? It was not till an hour or two ago Diana informed me that De Jussac had just proposed to her, and she was so happy—she felt she could not get Aimee into trouble!" Georgina stain me aed in confusion. She had nearly made a serious blun­ der—Aimee had told no one but her­ self- about the encounter with the ghost. “She must have felt confident, I sup­ pose, of Diana's g-g'goodness of heart!” faltered Georgina. “Are you pleased about the engagement? I do hope you are. I wns afraid—" Alexander paused. • "I am not displeased," he said. "De Jussac is a good fellow. I did not al­ ways think so. ' But—I have come te see that he is a very good fellow In­ deed. The love of a good woman Is just what he needs." “I hope they will be very happy, said Georgina softly.

Georgina caught her breath. She looked up at him. There was a won­ derful tenderness In bis eyes; his face was the face of a man inspired. “Georgina, you have known me only a Mttle while. But I love you. You are the only woman in the world for me. I love you! Do you think you could care for me—just a little?" Georgina tried to free herself. “It is Impossible!” she said, turning her face away. “Why? Do you not cure for meF "Oh—it Is efuel!” gusped Georgina, brokenly ’1 am not Aimee. I am here under false pretenses. How can you? “You are the woman I love!” “Oh. let me go!” she said wildly. “You are not yourself—you have no right to say this to me,” sobbed Geor­ gina, “you believe that a priest In or­ ders may not marry!" “I never held say such belief!

"You love me!” “I have loved you," said Georgina, her voice stifled in his coat, “from the first day I saw you.” There was a long pause. “it Is greater happiness than I dreamed of,” said Alexander, humbly. “I have not deserved It” Suddenly he released her and held her at arm's length. . “One thing neither of us shall en­ dure. No subterfuge—no secrecy about this. It is too sacred. We-shall make it known at once. It Is you I am think­ ing of. Our betrothal must be an­ nounced,” said Alexander decisively, "and then—” Before there was any time for re­ flection. Fate was upon him In the shape of Lady Erythea, walking ma­ jestically along the path with her lit­ tle Highland terrier at her heels. Al­ exander baited. “Aunt!” he exclaimed. “Georgina— He stopped short. “What on earth Is the matter with you?” said-Lady Erythea, raising her ear-trumpet For once Alexander was at a loss. He had turned very pale. Georgina came nobly to his rescue. . "Alexander," she* said faintly, yet articulately, "has. asked me to be his wife." And, with desperate confusion, she added—“may 1?" The ear-trumpet clattered on the gravel. Lady Erythea gathered Geor­ gina Into a triumphant embrace. “My dear child,” she exclaimed, kissing Georgina warmly on both cheeks, “I am delighted!” Lady Ery­ thea released her and kissed Alexan­ der. “You have made me very, very hippy.

"W-wduld you mind not telling any­ body for just a day or two?" she suld desperately. “We have told you, but we—I—feel—" Lady Erythea smiled. 'Foolish, romantic child!" she said, patting Georgina's cheek. "Well, well —we sliall see." She turned and disappeared towards the house. The betrothed couple looked at each other. Alexander squared bls big shoulders. '• “What on earth will happen nowF said Georgina faintly. . Alexander’s reply was practical. He lifted her suddenly off her feet and kissed her.

He rose, and quartered the ground carefully for a considerable distance In either di­ rection. Tl»e, ground was too hard to show any continuous track. But mole hills were plentiful, end some way fard another one. also _____ of a tire. “It’s the same. And not tbe Sphinx’s tire, by a mile!” saM Billy, knitting his brow. “This one was steel-studded.” With growing perplexity he made a close examination of the soil, ami pres­ ently discovered other traces. There were a few footprints and. faint though they were, they bore some very marked characteristics. Billy stood up straight and gave a liquid whistle. Tbe furrows In his brow deepened. He carried bls lovestigations still farther afield, but to­ ward the healthy common the soil was .light, wind-blown sand that shifted with every fresh breeze. There were no tracks left. The seeker was at a loss. Billy stopped and reflected rapidly. “It cajne this way, whatever It was,” he said. "But why on earth did It— and how? Let’s start from the begin­ ning." ( He struck 'across country and, break­ ing through a hedge, came out Into the blind lane where Jack the Climber’s machine had crashed on th*e fateful night;'the spot where he tand recov­ ered the emeralds, and made acquaint­ ance with Calamity Kate’s resource­ fulness.

And they came the very way I did myself. And. one of the two was lame—dead lame. One sure thing—they couldn’t have got far thut night. And if they weren’t able to ride the thing, what did they do with It?” He hurried to the fhr end of tbe field, where the last of tlie tracks had failed. He hesitated, and glanced to­ wards the distant crag-pits. “What should I have done myself— If I hadn't known the ground?" he thought TH try here first.” (TO BE CONTIMJEdTj WILL THEY EVER STOP? , The ocean liner had just come within hailing distance of the Emer­ ald Isle.

The bushes masked a narrow clay pit twenty feet deep, that had been delved in times past to bring up the heavy mart subsoil and spread It over the sandy field. It was now complete­ ly cloaked with brambles. Billy pulled them apart, and saw something gleam­ ing dimly at the bottom of the pit. It was the buckled frame of a big twin Indian motorcycle.

I’ve never seen you look excited before. You’ve found out something. What Is It?" Billy paused. "It’s true. I have found out some­ thing,” he said quietly, "but there’s more to do. and I haven't quite al! the cards In my hands. It’s the most amaz­ ing stunt yet. I’ll tell you about It tbe moment I’ve got It set." Aimee looked at him wistfully. “I don’t think you ought to have any secrets from your partner," she said. “I always tell you everything." “dive me till tonight," pleaded Billy. “I hate to talk about it now.

It’s horrible—all this sentiment" Billy stared before him gloomily, and was silent "Isn't it I” insisted Aimee. "Sickening!" said Billy, bitterly. Aimee glanced at him and. looking away, stirred the grass with the point of his shoe. There was a long pause. "What was it you were saying about things?’ suld Aimee. “I told you,” replied Billy, “that be­ fore tomorrow it will either be a com­ plete crash—or all clear." Aimee nodded. “I see. That means, in the first case, that I'll be exploded—broken—done “NoT said Billy, sharply. “It does, though. But In the second.

Billy turned to her quickly. “Is finished,” continued Aimee quiet­ ly, looking out across the park. “I shan’t be able to ride the Sphinx for you, Billy. I'm sorry about that. It would have been fun.” Billy caught his breath. “You mean," he said slowly, “that I shan't see you again*/" “I mea,n that. »How can you? Our little holiday is over, Billy."

"I can’t let you go I" said Billy wild­ ly. “You’re the darling of the world. The loveliest, brightest thing that ever breathed. Aimee—do you think—you could try and love me?” "Love you?" said Aimee, trembling. “Who could help loving you, Billy!" He held her tight and kissed her. "I was so frightened—" said Aimee, in a stilled voice. "Frightened—I" He held her tighter. "That you’d be frightened—” "Me!” -—of being sentimental,^ panted Aimee. Billy felt stunned. “If you knew what I’ve been through," he said a little hoarsely, “this past week—trying not to let you see it!” He kissed her again—more than once. Then he sat back, his head In a wh|rl. There was the longest pause yet; a silence that seemed intermi­ nable. They were recalled to; earth by a’ staccato noise. "Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap! Ylpeylpe!” Aimee and Billy started violen’ly. A small white Highland terrier, with Its four legs braced, was barking at them excitedly, but not wholly with disapproval. ' Aimee felt stricken as though by a sudden paralysis. Behind the terrier stood Lady Erythea, erect and rigid. The glare in her eyes was the glare of a destroying Gorgon. CHAPTER XXII Not Guilty. The guilty pair arose to their feet. Aimee, from rosy red, had turned ex­ tremely pale. There was every ex­ cuse for It. Lady Erythea's expres­ sion was enough to unnerve the stout­ est heait. “And this.” In a voice like tbe clash­ ing of a motor’s gear-box, “in the face of my express warning! You are dis­ charged.” She took a step towards Aimee. “And as for you—” Billy Interposed bis large figure be­ tween. them. “Madam,” he sold, “If you have any comments to make, please make them to me. Or. better still—do not make them atalL” His voice was quiet and respectful. But his chin was lifted feinarkably high, and his lips compressed danger­ ously. Lady Erytbea struggled for breath. “Are you presuming,” she said. In a strangled voice, “to dictate to me!" . Mr. William Spencer bowed. "I hope—my lady—that it will not reproaches whatever. This Is her afternoon off." Aimee looked at them both—espe­ cially at Lady Erythea. And fm once the “sand," <m "which she had so often iweiJ. complimented., deserted her. Ai­ mee turned suddenly and fled. The terrier, under the Impression that It was all an extremely interest­ ing game got up for his amusement, pursued her out tig ilfcht round tbe bushes, giving tongue excitedly. Billy kept his eyes fixed on the in­ truder. ‘ "II you require an explanation. Lady Erythea," he said quietly, '-1 guess I can give you one very briefly. 1 have just asked Miss Snooks to marry me.” Lady Erythea was mentally stag­ gered. "You have asked her—to marry you?" she said, staring at Billy. “And she has done me the great honor to consent." Billy’s grim expression relaxed into a very charming smile. “I feel sure your ladyship will not throw any obstacles In the way of this humble romance," he said gently. “We shall be very happy to have our em­ ployer’s approval.’’ His employer gazed at him dumbly. The announcement came as a shock. And ’it was difficult even for Lady Erythea to resist Billy’s smile. As well attempt to resist a sunbeam. She melted imperceptibly. Her faculties were bemused. Billy, despite the smile, looked to extraordinarily digni­ fied that Lady Erythea almost felt an Impulse to apologize to h.er chauffeur. She made an effort to recover her austerity. “You have asked this girl to marry you—after an acquaintance of four days?" she said acidly. “Is that—an American custom?’’ Billy's smile intensified. “I haven’t much experience, my lady," he said, "but I think it’s a British custom, too—sometimes." With two such recent examples at hand, her ladyship felt unable to con­ tradict him. She looked nt him stead­ ily, wondering why she felt no resent­ ment. There was something so re­ markably disarming about Billy. "What you tell me, Spencer," she said at last, “plno.’S a new aspect on the case. It is, I suppose, within your discretion to engage yourself to a young woman if you wish to do so. The situation in which I found you led me to suspect mere Irresponsible philandering—a thing i nst stringent­ ly forbidden within the precincts of Jervaulx. Admitting the seriousness of your intentions.” she continued with returning indignation, “I am still unable to consider your behavior dec­ orous." "I was very careful to choose a place just outside the park boundary, my lady,” said Billy gravely, "and I was obliged to make use of the small amount of free time at my disposal.” Lady Erythea drew a long breath. “I am making unprecedented allow­ ances for you, Spencer." she said, "since I cannot forget how fur I am Indebted to you for the recovery of my emeralds. If I was under a mis­ apprehension as to your conduct just now, it was natural. I will say no more. But I gather from this event that you will be leaving my service in any case, so I will merely ghe you a week’s notice—If you are willing to stay so long." *“Yes, I guess- I shall be quitting rather soon,’ said Billy, “but I'll be very glad to serve your ladyship in the meantime, pnd I hope I’ll give sat­ isfaction. But. may I take It that you won’t put ft across—that you will not say anything to—Amy?” “I have nothing more to say in the matter whatever.” replied her lady­ ship abruptly. "But you must under­ stand that the ^onduct of both of you will have to be rigidly circumspect and correct” Billy twinkled. "We shall be careful to give your ladyship no grounds for complaint," he said. Lady Erythea had a vague Impres­ sion that Billy was laughing at her. It was stranger still that she did not seem to feel any resentment. “You may go!” she said, with a ges­ ture of dismissal. Billy saluted ami walked away. She watched his tall figure till it had "Are you sure that this Is a w se thing You aie doing?* she Mild slowly. “You to’ me h somewhat sujierior young man. I tittnk you could d<> much better for yourself.' Billy twinkled jet more brightly. "I should hate tu disagree with your ladyship/’ he said, “but I am quite sure I couldn’t” Lady Erytbea turned and walked away with a dazed air. Billy passed through the gate into the lane, and made for the abbey at his Ih-fI speed. He "hoped that Aimee might be waiting "or him somewhere wltbln call, but there was no sign of “Wbyr saifl Arkwright abruptly. x “Well. sir. 1 know him by right, of course/' said Polson in a lower volge —“tbe chauffeur. 1 mean—and as I came off the Stnnhoe road awhile ago. I saw somebody like him crosslnx the forty-acre field and going towards the crag-pits. I thought I’d better hurry on and tell yuu. I’m sure tt was he." .“Excellent! You are a man that keeps bls eyes open." exeiaimeti In­ spector Arkwright. "Come, Pnnke— leave the car here. Polson, show us the way." The three of them, departed to­ gether hurriedly In the direction of the park boundary. Lady Erythea stared after them with mingled anger and anxiety. She waited for some time on the steps, pondering, and then went slowly in­ doors. Her eyes were troubled. The three police, crossing tbe park, left It by a wicket gate near the sweet-briar clump. After a short con­ sultation with Polson, Inspector Ark­ wright gave an order. The three men spreading out in a wide semi-circle, stalked the crag-pits by way of the lower meadow. CHAPTER XXIII The Running Figure Was a Woman, her. Thinking It lltely she would be In the neighborhood of the garage, he hurried In that direction. He was within sight , from the park boundary, when Monsieur de Jussac, approach­ ing the fence from the abbey, saw him and called him by name. Billy whs tno far away to hear. The Vicomte whistled, without result He saw Billy disappear In the direction of the crag-pits. De Jussac hesitated, uncertain whether to follow. "Our amazing chauffeur appears to be In a hurry." murmured Bertrand. He took out a cigarette, and smoked It reflectively. Bertrand was looking a little puzzled and anxious. Finally he wandered slowly back towards the abbey. » As he neared the main entrance the quack of a motor horn was heard, and an automobile drove up rapidly. It contained the stolid Inspector Tanke front Stanhoe. Beside him sat a slim and active-looking man In a gray tweed overcoat. De Jussac. raising his eyebrows, drew near unobtrusively. The man in tweeds got out and stepped briskly up to Mr. Tarbeaux, who was standing on the steps. m “You have a chauffeur here," said the man In tweeds quietly, "who calls himself William Spencer." “Yes, sir,” said Mr. Tarbeaux. Bertrand, de Jussac moved away, with the air of one retreating from a situation with which he had no con­ cern. He lit a cigarette as he went but once on the far side of the rhodo­ dendrons, Monsieur de Jussac began to move with uncommon swiftness. "Is he on the premises at tbe mo­ ment?' said the visitor. “I do not know, sir," replied Mr. ,Tarbeaux with cold resene, eyeing the police car. “If you wish to see her ladyship—” “I do. Inform her at once, If you please, tl^it the police are here.” Mr. Tarbeaux went Indoors, leaving the visitor on the step. It was some little time before <4tdy Erythea her­ self came to the entrance, grim and forbidding, ear-trumpet In hand. “I am Detective-Inspector Ark­ wright, from Scotland Yard,” said the visitor. "I wish to see your chauf­ feur. my lady—William Spencer.” “For what purpose?' said her lady­ ship, examining him Icily through her lorgnette. “That will transpire as soon as I have seen him,” said Arkwright a little shandy. A face peered down cautiously from a second-floor window. It was face of Aimee, very white and scared. She drew back quickly be­ hind the window curtains, one hand clutching and kneading them tightly as she listened. “Does this mean." said her ladyship with distinct hostility, "that you pro­ pose to arrest my chauffeur? If not, what do you mean? He is the man who restored the emeralds to me, when the police failed to achieve any­ thing whatever, and I have complete confidence In him. If that really Is your Intention, It Is my opinion you are about to make fools of your­ selves.” Iilipector Arkwright looked both surprised and Irritated. "I am here with full authority, my lady,” he said abruptly, “and my task Is to clear this matter up. Out of consideration for you, I have come here quite openly, and what my in­ tentions are I • must at the moment keep to myself." "It Is Spencer's afternoon off, I be­ lieve,” said Lady Erythea coldly. “I do not think he la on the premises." The Inspector waa plainly taken aback by his reception. Ills lips tight­ ened to a thin line. Just then a po­ liceman on a bicycle came riding rap­ LMdy Erythea Inspected Him. idly along the drlye. It was Constable Polson. receded some little distance, and then ."Beg pardon, sir," be said, dlsrecalled him. mounting and saluting the Inspector, "Spencer I" “have yon found the man yon are Billy returned. Lady Erythea in­ looking for here?' spected him through her lorgnette. Jack the Climber. Mr. William Spencer, after arriving. In the fallow-field where stood the clump of bushes that hid the broken Indian motorcycle, made a rapid sur­ vey of the situation. He resumed his task of quartering the ground for tracks. ' This, being unfruitful, occupied but a little time. He gave It up and want forward again, dipping down into tbe crag-pits beyond. Billy had formed upon the factors already In his possession a theory which appealed to him strongly. Ha hoped to prove It.- But the hope was rery slender. “If I’d only got wise to this two days ago,” he said gloomily, “I might have done something. But there’s no saying bow old the tracks are. And there’s so little time.” He looked about him thoughtfully. Tbe area of the crag-pits covered some twenty acres; u wide bottom of red sand studded he^e and there with tangled bushes. The place was shut In by low red bluffs uf corallne crag, with a few gaps tu them through which winding paths sloped up to the higher ground. “The soil teljs me nothing,” said Billy to himself; "too loose and wind­ blown to hold a trull more than*two days. But there’s five—maybe six caves, most of them too plain and easy—anybody can see 'em. Still, I'll go over them. My own first. I guess there’s nobody could have found that" He wound his way through the bushes to the screen of brambles that masked the cave where Aimee had taken refuge on the night of the bur­ glary, and after scanning the ground near Its approaches, pushed the briars aside and entered cautiously. The cave was empty—save for that super­ motorcycle, the Flying Sphinx, which stood waiting In patient dumbness at the far end, weeping slow tears of oil Into a little pool beneath the silencer. Billy laid a hand upon his Arab steed, and sighed. Then bls face brightened amazingly. “Your time’ll come again — and mighty soon I" he said with affection. He turned, and left the cave. It was holy ground to him now; for one night it had been Aimee’s refuge. CTO BE CONTINUED.) Plain Vace Best for F •an In dear, plain cl; ent aiw* lire mo<l*’st purse.

THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1923 VOLUME XLIX TEMPESTUOUS STORM SCATTERS SATURDAY NIGHT THRONGS ELDON HECKER STRUCK. BY LIGHTNING, MIRACULOUSLY • ESCAPES DEATH. Sharp'"*’ Electrical Storm of Year Douses Electric Lights and Drench­ ing Kain Drives All to Shelter. Appalling In its appearance, with continuous lightning and thilnder. high wind and drenching rain, the -storm which struck Nashville Satur­ day night at about 9.30 frightened many people. ’ who scattered off the streets for places of shelter. Not In several years has so severe a storm visited this vicinity. It came suddenly, too, with but little prelim­ inary warning, and it came with ex­ treme violence. Vivid and constant lightning, accompanied by almost in­ cessant thunder, preceded a down­ pour of rain which flooded the streets and drove everybody to shelter. Si­ multaneously the electric current was cut off, leaving the village in com­ plete darkness.except for the almost constant lightning. The streets, which had been crowded with people and lined with automobiles, were soon deserted, peo­ ple flocking into the stores for shel­ ter, or Jumping into their cars and scurrying for home as quickly as possible. The audience at the Park theatre, where the first run of pictures was about to close, was more or less dis­ ordered. many who were ip a hurry to get out and start for home strug­ gling through the mass of those whr preferred to Remain inside and es­ cape the fury of the storm. Terrific winds accompanied the storm, approaching the violence of a tornado, yet did but little damage in the village or surrounding coun­ try although at Coldwater and other points visited later by the same storm many trees were uprooted, windows blown In, buildings unroof­ ed and a great deal of damage done. At Woodland F. L. Jordan lost four head of cattle by lightning and Frank Smith had a horse killed. During the storm Eldon Hecker was struck by lightning and severe­ ly stunned. He was at the home of bis parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hecker, on the south side. It has not been discovered where the lightning entered the house, but It is thought that a sliver of the light­ ning came in either pn the wires or the pipes. The bolt left a vivid mark on Eldon's body, from the neck to his feet, yet left no visible mark anywhere in the house. Eldon was rendered unconscious and remained so for some time. Medical aid was summoned and everything-"possible was done to resuscitate him, but he was unconscious for several hours. He finally rallied, however, and was so far recovered by Monday morning as to be able to resume his work at the Lentz factory. The damage caused by the storm in this vicinity was very light, and the heavy rain which accompanied it was needed, but would have done more good had it come in a milder form. Electric service was not resumed until the following morning. * SUBSCRIPTION NOTICE. .

Program Includes Band Music, Picnic ' Dinner, Talks by Out-of-Town Speakers, and Ball Game. Tuesday. August 7th, is the date set for the fifth annual picnic of the Nashville Co-Operative associations, the elevator, creamery and live stock companies, and it safe to say that very little work will be done in the neighboring rural communities on that day. As in former years. Put­ nam Park will be the scene of the get-together meeting, and the offi­ cials in charge already have ar­ rangements under way to provide a good time for the farmers and their friends. The program of the day's festiv­ ities will open at 10:30 at the park, with a concert by the Nashville Boy­ Scouts band. The big dinner, al­ ways a prime drawing card with the crowd, wilrbe held promptly at noon, and everyone Is urged to be on time so as to give plenty of time for the afternoon’s entertainment. The committee have not completed their plans, but report that they have secured two splendid speakers. Eu­ gene Davenport of Woodland and M. L. Noon, a State Farm Bureau rep­ resentative. who will have something of Interest to impart to their rural friends. Vocal numbers a la Lauder will be rendered by the popular Scotch songster, Mark Cutler, and other musical numbers and recita­ tions will be Interspersed. Following the" program at the park the crowd will repair to the ball grounds, where the annual contest for the supremacy between the north and south side will be staged. The north side, captained oy Freel Garlinger. is at the top of the column in number of games won. but Capt. Tieche's south-elders nosed them out In last year’s game and are planning on repeating. Remember the date, Tuesday. Au­ gust 7th, and don’t let anything in­ terfere with your coming to the big picnic. Pack your dinner basket, load the whole family into the car and spend an enjoyable day with the rest of the crowd. In case of rain, provisions will be made to hold the dinner and program indoors. Y.

They voted to conduct a thrift campaign again in January; .also voted the county secretary a vacation. A full sum­ mer program wgs discussed, includ­ ing leaders' training camp in Sep­ tember.

The running ngure was a woman—a small woman clad In u khaki-colored dust-cloak, carrying a little red bundle. She ran with a stooping gait, bending low -as she threaded between the bushes. She reached a point against the cliff on Billy's side, three hundred yards far­ ther along, close by a tangle of under­ growth. There she halted, and. look­ ing round her quickly, disappeared with extreme suddenness. > "Great Christopher!" said Billy. He rose to his knees, staring at the place where she had vanished.' His eye* were bright, his face had lit-up. “I was right,” he Raid In a hushed tone. “But. geel I never thought of this." He rose, as if to follow, but on sec­ ond thoughts -subsided again and waited. He remained there fully ten minutes, when the figure reappeared, and hurried along the pit bottom in his direction. Billy wormed himself hurriedly un der.the tangled briars at some coat to hla skin. The woman passed him within seventy yards, walking rapidly. She was no longer carrying the bundle. When she had passed, Billy peeped after her. Though be could not see her face, be had not the slightest doubt who she was. Shfe disappeared round the bend of the plt$. Billy extricated himself cauti^uly from the bush and waited for some time on his knees, staring in the di­ rection she bad taken. Tljere was nothing more to be seen of her. Then, springing to his feet he sprinted to the spot where she had first vanished with the bundle. The bushes partially cloaked the mouth of one of the many crag caves; the entrance was not difficult to find when one was close to it Billy walked in without hesitation. He found pre­ cisely what he expected. On the floor of the cave, stretched ipon a couch of dry bracken, lay a nan. He was not n spectacle which In any way gladdened the eye. He was big and lusty of limb; what little could be seen of bls face through * week’s growth of brown stubble was haggard. His beak of a nose jutted between two fierce deep-sunk eyes. One of his legs was extended, and swathed from foot to knee in dripping-wet cal­ ico bandages that looked as If they had been ripped from a woman’s gar­ men L ' Billy found himself looking down the muzzle of a small repeating pistol, held in a hairy but very steady fist “Stop right where you are,” said the occupant of the cave, reclining on one elbow. “Don’t move a step forward, nor yet a step back. Get meF Billy stopped obediently. He cal­ culated the distance between them to be a dozen feet; there was no likeli­ hood of capturing the pistol before the ballet struck him. The eyas of the man showed that h* meant busi­ ness. He was In fact, less like a man than a crippled wolt “Jack the Cllmir*.’’ “‘d blandly. "I am pleased to meet you.

But It took a man with Watt’s imagination to rec­ ognize that in that kettle was a power which might be harnessed into service. Others saw the steam engine working, but It took the imagination of a Fulton to believe that paddles propelled by this power could drive a boat ahead and not merely splash the wash. The bromides of Spain laughed at Columbus who had Imagination enough to believe that thu world was round. Since man was, he had observed lightning with only wondering awe or fear, until Ben Franklin let his Imagination fly with a kite In the storm and the possibilities of electricity were Introduced to the world. The telegraph and the telephone that day started on their journey to us. Scheele observed the change of color on skins exposed to the sun. His Imagination brought to us the sun-tracing scheme of duplicating drawings. To this Daguerre lent his imagination, and photography came. McCormick was laughed at because be Imagined that a horse might operate a sickle that could do the work of several men with scythes. An accident on the Boston and Maine Railroad, costing many lives, called the attention of a man by the name of Westinghouse to the in­ adequacy of hand power brakes. He put his imagination to work onthe power of compressed air. “Foolish," said the wise ones who always know it all, “such a soft cushion can never stop a train." But his air brake made high speed travel safe. The man who would build a palace of stone must first build with thought Imagination is the ability to build in the mind. It is tho architect blue print pile-driver and electric crane of the future. It foresees, plans, carves, builds. No man can be great who does not use his imagination. But wisdom must always go with Imagination. Exercise th® Imagination. It will some day bring Mars, Venus and to us and make this little Earth “th® frontyard of the universe.” ■■‘■“iwtK hi* hnsvlnntlnn Allow* tb» kev to success to rust President Harding in a T. R.

The task of getting out a weekly­ newspaper would be made a great deal easier if both advertisers and readers would get their advertise­ ments and news Items in earlier. The Impression prevails that anything which reaches the office by Wednes­ day afternoon or Thursday morning is In time. This isn’t so. Many times we are forced to leave out items because we haven't time to set them In type all in the short time between they are received and the paper goes to press. We can’t set the entire paper In one day's time. A little more consideration and coop­ eration would not only enable us to get everythjng into the paper but would also enable us to get out a better newspaper. Last week Tues­ day I would have said a 12-page newspaper was not warranted and we went to press Thursday noon with more than a page of advertising omitted, and several advertisements which appeared were cut down In size. We were forced to leave out a small amount of reading matter, less than half a column in all, all of it correspondence from neighboring towns which was received all in a bun^h on Wedensday, too late for all of It to bo set.

The Consumer* Power Company, which recently purchased and has taken over the plant and business of the Thornapple Ga« and Electric company is very largely a Michigan owned businoas. It ha* a very large number of Michigan people among it* *tockhoJderB, ana thl* 1* as H should be. When a public utility Is owned in large measure by the peo­ ple whom it serve*, there Is not like­ ly to be much if any trouble between the people and the company. The company is more likely to do Its very best to serve its patrons when many of It* patrons are part owners of the company. The patrons of the compa­ ny will likely have a better under­ standing of the trials, troubles and dtflcultles which the company has to surmount if among those patrons there 1* a goodly sprinkling of com­ pany stockholders. All of these things help in arriving at mutual under­ standings and mutual efforts for im­ provement of jservice. Wa would have less reason to quarrel over railroad problems If the stock of the roads were more generously owned by the people along the lines. Statistics show that in eight years the electric light and power compa­ nies have attracted 425,000 consum­ ers as purchasers of stock. An es­ timate Is made that within the next three years there will be a million of such stockholders. One utility company recently dis­ tributed a 815.000.000 Issue of stock among some 40,000 customers and 16,500 employes. Can you realize how much better service a company can render to its customers If practically all of Its employes and a great number of Its patrons are part owners of the com­ pany? The plan “really approaches the Ideal. W. E. Creed, president of the Pa­ cific Gas and Electric company this year broadcast his annual address by radio, and the company even went so far as to install receivers In many different localities, so that audiences of stockholders In these localities could hear the address. Bell telephones in the United States far outnumber all telephones In all other countries in the world combined. Customers and employes of the Bell company will. It Ib figured, from now on furnish at least onethird of the industry's total capital requirements. The amount coming from such sources this year is ex­ pected to approximate 8350,000.000. Companies so own*$d are much more likely to treat employes fairly in every way. Employes working for such a company are much more likely to put their real interest into their work for the company, in order that it may be taore successful and thus pay better dividends. And in a large way, this is the best reply to communism and bolshevism. Bolshevism means nothing less than community ownership of all proper­ ty and community wrecking of all values. It all ends in universal ruin, as plainly indicated by Russian ex­ periments. Cooperative ownership of public utilities and cooperative working for the building up of rail­ roads, light and power plants, and other public utilities means real pro­ gress and the upbuilding of the country and ultimate prosperity for all. And thinking along these lines, IF you think capital is not dividing up with labor, read these items from a recent issue of the Railway Age. Railway employes of the United States received 8930,000,000 more in wages during 1922 than in 1917, al­ though the railroads during that time earned two hundred millions less money for their owners. In 1917, before any substantial advance In rates had been made, railroad em­ ployes received >4.41 in wages for every 1000 tons of freight carried or.e mile by the railroads. In 1922 employes received 87.90 in wages for every 1000 tons carried one mile by the railroads, an Increase of almost 80 per cent. In no other country In the world do workmen In factories go back and forth to their work In their own au­ tomobiles, but they do that very thing in Nashville, In Hastings, In Charlotte, and In practically every other town In the country. If we sum it all up, the old United States lacks a whole lot of going backward. We are the most pros­ perous people in the world, we have more money, we spend more money, we live better, we educate our chil­ dren better, and we should bv hap­ pier than any other nation on the globe. Our gravest fault that we are never satisfied with our condi­ tion, and that perhaps Is our great­ est blessing instead of our gravest faulL Our Ingrained determination to improve our condition, to make life more pleasant for our wives and families, our energy and ambition to reach out more and more for the good things of life, is undoubtedly the main cause of our outstripping other nations In every line of endeav­ or. And we believe this very thing is what keeps Americans young and in the harness at 60, 70 and even 80 years of agtf, happy and very much alive, while the people of nearly ev­ ery other nation crawl Into their shells and become decrepit, discour­ aged fossils at fifty. ryville July 6. 1923, aged 7 J years, ten months and 14 days,When a child he moved, with his parents, to Eaton- county, Michigan, whert he lived to young manhood. He was one of a family ot eleven children and was converted at the age ot seventeen. In 1871 he went, with some friend*, to Missouri, stopping tbeE0 only about eighteen months, when he went farther west to Winfield, Kan­ sas. In 1878 be was married to Mrs. Mattle Andrews. To this union three children were born, two dying in Infancy. One daughter, Mrs. C. C. Alexander, of Hutchinson, Kans., survive*; also a nephew, R. J. Hill, of Colorado Springs, whom Mf. and Mr*. Lahr raised a* their own son. Mr*. Lahr, who was an Invalid for years, passed away December >1, 1914. ' Rev. Lahr exorted several years before he entered the Kansas con­ ference In 1877, and when the con­ ference was divided was a charter member of tbe Southwest Kansas conference, since which time hl* work has nearly all been in the Wichita district. _ In 1916 he was again married to Miss Elizabeth Higdon of Batryvllle. During the war, while spending the summer in Michigan he took charge of the Orange M. E. church, near Ionia, for two years, living near Nashville the last three years. July 6, 1923, after a happy, busy day, he fell asleep to awake In Heav­ en, a peaceful passing, after a use­ ful life in the Master's service. He was a man who walked and talked with God. Rev. Lahr resided in Kansas for the . past fifty years and has been one of the most active men In church circles in the state. He attended the past forty-five gen­ eral church conferences in Kansas. He received his first charge in Win­ field in 1878, at a time when the work was mainly that of a circuit rider, and was one of the men of Kansas to do hard, courageous work to put the prohibition law through. He was laid at rest on the hill ov­ er-looking the city where he started his ministerial services, nearly half a century ago. He Is survived by his wife, one daughter, two grandchil­ dren and one brother, besides a host of relatives and friends. Will continue three more days —the balance of this week only.

A startling illustration of the big effect of a very email cause was fur­ nished last Tuesday morning wheji three men, riding in a three-ton mo­ tor truck, were upset and killed near Michigamme. The cause of the shocking accident was a small mouse. The mouse was first discovered on the floor of the body of the truck where the three men who lost their lives were riding. The three men chased the mouse until the little an­ imal jumped upon the shoulder of one of the men who was riding with the driver. As the mouse alighted upon his shoulder he jerked to one side, striking the elbow of the driv­ er who lost control of his machine. The truck left the road, crashed thru a heavy guard rail and upset In a pond of water. The three men rid­ ing in the body of the truck were im­ CARD OF THANKS.

One ot the busiest men In Eaton county these days is Frank Paine, the county speed cop, and many peo­ ple are paying fines for greatly ex­ ceeding the speeds allowed by law, four Charlotte young men being pick­ ed up this morning. The officer Is absolutely Impartial In his work and among those apprehended are the names of state officials, prominent business and professional men, mem­ bers of the American Legion, friends of the officers and local people as well as outsiders. One man was caught twice in one day. He is Paul A. Lindquist of Lansing. The speed cop chased him from near Olivet about a mile into Calhoun county before stopping him, while he was on his way to Battle Creek. That night while he was returning home he was apprehended again on the LansingCharlotte state road, speeding in his big Marmon car. Lindquist tried to get out ot it to the officers but final­ ly admitted he had been caught ear­ lier in the day after the sheriff in­ formed him Paine had brought in as many as four license numbers at one time and had never made a mistake. He paid a 815 fine. The good results of the establish­ ment of the office of speedcop has been the absence of serious accidents on the main highways of the county, while last year there were a number of fatal accidents on the CharlotteLansing road and the county was rapidly gaining a reputation as a speedway.—Charlotte Tribune.

Under the terrific heat that has prevailed generally during the last few weeks, certain types of pave­ ments have been "exploding” with uncomfortable frequency, throwing huge slabs of concrete and paving blocks high In the air and often en­ dangering Ilves of pedestrians and motorists. . This phenomenon is rare enough to make an explanation Interesting, and a remedy worth while, the latter from a safety standpoint alone, to say nothing of public economy. It is only the "rigid" type of pave­ ment that "explodes". Rigid types are limited to concrete pavemerfts and to block pavements In which the interstices between the blocks are filled with what is known as cement grout. The grout clings to the blocks and sets up even harder than con­ crete, and the result is a slab just as rigid as a plain concrete pavement. In t’fese types of pavements there is little or no room for expansion, that irresistible force brought about J>y Intense, heat. Even where expan­ sion joints are provided at Intervals, rigid pavements have been known to •T)low up". The heat expands the Tlgid slab. In those cases where ex- pansion is not held in compression, there is only one direction in which this force can expand Itself, and that is upward. Pedestrians or motorists in the immediate vicinity are in more or less danger. This is one of the reasons why en­ gineers are more and more specify­ ing flexible instead of rigid surfaces. In brick or stone block surfaces this Is brought about by the use of as­ phalt between the units. This bi­ tuminous material absorbs expan­ sion and permits constractlon with­ out "explosions" or cracked and crumbled surfaces. Such engineer­ ing design also allows for the' upward thrust of a freezing sub-grade and for the continuous swelling and shrinking of the earth's surface un' and der influences of‘ moisture drought.

IRVING KING John Cartwright was in love with Emma Townsend and Emma was In love with John. John's father and mother bad selected for John's wife the very wealthy and very cnarmlng Clara Dennison, an orphan, whose guardian uncle approved the selection. But Clara on her part bad selected for her husband Richard Watson, a clerk in her uncle's brokerage office. Now Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Townsend. Emma’s parents, were both of fam­ ilies possessed of colonial and revolu­ tionary traditions, but of.llttle money. The Townsends’ visiting cards had a prestige which was denied to the Townsend thlrty-day notes. The fond parents saw with secret satisfaction the growing Intimacy between their daughter and the son of the wealthy Sylvanos Cartwright—a misalliance. It Is true, but then what could you ex­ pect In these leveling days? And Cartwright’s record In Bradstreet’s was so eminently satisfactory I But when the Townsends learned that John Cartwright had been ordered to marry Clara Dennison they rose In aristocratic wrath. Perish the vulgar Cartwrights and fSerisb their base money! Besides, there were as good fish in the sea as there were in the frying pan. Emma was ordered not to think of John Cartwright any more and to hold herself in readiness to marry some one to be picked out for her by. her parents hereafter. Emma was a pret­ ty young thlntr with not much to her. Have Made Up My Mind to That Clerk of Yours." and John was a well enough young man, but It must be confessed rather commonplace and mightily afraid of his father. So In spite of their love and in spite of Clara Dennison’s love for Richard Watson and his love for her, it Is quite possible that the par­ ents and a guardian uncle would have bad things their own way bad It not been for Clara. “Uncle," said Clara one evening as she and her guardian sat over their after-dinner coffee, “I have made up my mind to marry that clerk of your*, Richard Watson." , Had a bomb gone off In the middle of the dining room table Mr. Zebulon Dennison would hardly have been more startled. The worthy broker was of an apoplectic build and Clara at first feared she should have broken ft to him more gently. But he recovered and managed to splutter after a minuie:~rv¥0L’mre not Has he asked you? I will discharge him tomorrow." "Oh, yes, I am. He has not asked me, but he Is going to, and as to your discharging him I shall be twentythree next month, when my property is to be turned over to me, and I guess we will have enough to set up housekeeping with," retorted Clara. Zebulon from commanding descend­ ed to arguing. Bls arguments were all perfectly sound, but what la a sound argument tn the pathway of young love? Richard, from the changed manner in which hia employ­ er treated him next morning, sur­ mised something of what had- hap­ pened and over the telephone ar­ ranged a meeting with Clara. “What have you been saying to your MARTIN CORNERS.

And, he reflected as he walked along, even In great New York his friends numbered few. Could he call those with whom he associated as the de­ mand of business left him scant leis­ ure—friends indeed? Or were they merely congenial acquaintances? And the young women, whom Basil had known—well, he was resigned to his disappointment there; again, perhaps the result of an over-wearied mind.

Presently they came to a refresh­ ing picture—a small white house, shin­ ing in its neatness, an Inviting garden, ruffled white curtains at the windows —Inside the glow of shaded lights.

Prehistoric Cliff Dweller*. Several skeletons of prehistoric be­ ings estimated to be from 1.200 to 1,500 year* old have been unearthed In the Ozarks region of Missouri.

Walnut shells, which hitherto have' been regarded as waste matter, are now made intn charcoal. " “Here's a piece of the machine— found it on the road," said ’Billy, handing him the scrap of metal “The tracks didn't go on. So what became of the machine? I found the tire­ marks passing through a gateway Into the field. ' ••What did that aay? That they could wheel the machine, thourb thev couldn’t drive it Engine done up. What would they do with It? Hide It, so nobody would know they didn't get clear away. You’ll find the machine, a twin Indian, over in the old clay pit, under some brushwood. “What did the two of them do then? You can see by the tracks in the field that one of them was dead lame. So lame that he had to be carried or dragged, half of the way. It must tiavq taken quite a while. They couldn’t be far off, and, to cut it short, I searched the pits through and found Take where he is. I didn't get wise to It till now. He’s got a leg so badly sprained that a compound fracture wouldn't have laid him up much more thoroughly. And here you are. In­ spector, Ju*t In the nick of time, a* die story-books say. Of course,” added Billy, “you’d have found it out yourself as soon as you got to work. I happened to be on the spot, that’s all. And I shall be obliged If you’ll say nothing about my share in it, at beadquarters. Thief-catching Isn't really in my line—I'm a motor-engi­ neer, and it might do me harm to have it known I was wasting time on things that aren't my business.** Inspector Arkwright gazed et Billy dumbly. Arkwright was not a man of ungenerous Instincts. "I call that a very remarkable piece of work for an amateur," he said ungrudgingly. “I suppose I’ve set your mind at rest, that I'd nothing to do with the burglary myself? You’re not aching to haul me off to the station house any more? Or are you?’’ Inspector Arkwright regarded Billy thoughtfully. “No.” he replied quietly, “but there are one w two points that have to be cleared up yet” Billy took some papers from a pock­ etbook and banded them to Ark­ wright “If you want Information as to my identity," he said, “you might look through those.” The Inspector did so. His usually Immobile face gave a twitch of sur­ prise. “Thank you. Fll keep these fer the present," he said, with a change or manner. "I will have a word with you at the abbey, Mr. Spencer, when this business Is off my hands." Til be there,” said Billy, with an Inward twinge of anxiety. Panke and the constable arrived, carrying a gate between them, which was taken Into the cave. The pros­ trate Jake was lifted onto it, and borne out Into the open. “Walt! Set him down," said Ark­ wright suddenly. “He’s safe, any­ how. We’ve got to get the other one.” He turned to Billy. “You’ve seen nothing of her—the woman?” Billy gave him a stare of undis­ guised amazement. “The woman?” he exclaimed. Jake threw away the stub of his cigarette. “Yes—Calamity Kate!" said Ark­ wright impatiently. ‘Good Lord, man. can't you see she must be somewhere here, too? She's been bringing him food and water, and tending his leg— how else could he have lived there six days when he can’t move?*’ “Great Christopher!" said Billy. “I suppose you’re right” ‘The prisoner refuses any Informa­ tion. But I’ll have the pair of them,” said Arkwright grimly. T—" T suggest” broke In Panke, who was chafing at being thrust Into a sub­ ordinate pan, “that we get this man away as soon as possible, and that two of us wait in the cave. The woman probably visits it only at night, and the next time she comes with sup­ plies, we shall get her." “The weak point about that,” re­ plied Arkwright patronizingly, “is that it’s not ceriain she only comes at night; this Is a lonely place, and It won’t surprise me If she is dose by. She may have observed us already. We’ll search these pits thoroughly first There are half s dozen of these caves, and we’ll go through them all. Mr. Spencer, TH trouble you to remain by the prisoner. Panke, you and the constable try that cave opposite, and I'll take this side." Inspector Arkwright strode forward with stern determination. “The bag is not complete,” he said grimly, “till I’ve got that woman!" tage in the second floor window question* of the police, she saw them start for the crag pits. The only bright feature of the situ­ ation, though not uaxxllngiy bright was that de Jussac was already on his way, in the same direction. She had seen him- go, and guessed his errand. Bertrand, at least was an ally. Td rather they got me than Billy!” she said with a little sob. The one obvious and reasonable thing for Aimee to do. was to remain where she waa To lie low, like Brer Rabbit, and take no part in the com­ ing crisis. As a natural consequence, it was precisely the thing which her 'mind refused to entertain. If Billy was going to meet trouble; she deter­ mined to be on the spot. There was no knowing to what lengths he might go, in his passion for self-sacrifice. Ten minutes later Aimee was in the bushy dip of ground leading Into the crag pits. The police were well ahead of her, converging round the far end. Aimee had taken some trouble to avoid being seen by them. At the moment she could not see them at all, and took it for granted they could not see her either. Bending low and running between the bushes, Atmee made for the en­ trance • of the Sphinx's cave. It seemed to her that must be where Billy had gone. On arriving at the mouth, however, she discovered her mistake. Through a gap In the brush­ wood she caught sight of Billy a con­ siderable distance farther along the pits. And with him was de Jussac. The police arrived almost Immedi­ ately afterward. Almee, crouching be­ hind the bushes, watched tlie meeting. Her throat felt dry and hot, her hands opened and shut. nervously. She hesitated, uncertain what to do. Would Billy “get away with It?” A gleam of hope and confidence re­ turned. Billy had a wonderful knack of getting away with things. / She saw the party disappear Into the cave nearest them; she witnessed the emergence of Billy, and was aware of a certain relief of tension when the police returned and spoke with him. Finally, wondering as she watched, Aimee observed the arrival of the gate—saw the prostrate body of Jake carried Into the open. The distance was considerable. But the significance of that pathetic figure on the gate came home to her. Aimee was not slow of comprehension. She began to realize the meaning of it all. The police bad what they wanted. The captive could be no other than Jack the Climber himself. Billy bad “got away with It" with a vengeance. Aimee was staring dumbly at the group, when alie heard a faint animal­ like taolse close beside her. She turned sharply, Jo find that she was not alone. A woman, in a stained and ragged dust-cloak, was crouching behind the screen of brambles a few yards away. She was young, and not Ill-looking, save for the deathly pallor of her face and the disorder of her hair. Indeed, there was a wild glpsylsb beauty about her, that survived even the hunted expression In her eyes. She was staring through the bushes at the distant group. ‘They got him!” she said in a strangled whisper. She huddled her­ self together trembling. “An’ they’ll get me, too. Let ’em. No good my runnln’ for It. CHAPTER XXIV Takes Out Gr**»e. “Ar* You Goin* to Gimm* AwayF* When grease is spilled on the rug "Sister* Under Their Skin*." jmi am remote It by corertn* th.

The overhearing from her coign of vanAlmee did not move. Her heart MtxUnc .ill ol-ort- the cnu. beat fast. But there was tu> menace In the woman’s eyes; only an expreeslon so broken and piteous that some-, how a lump came Info Almee's throat. She had not the faintest doubt who this hunted woman was. “You «.now who I am." the woman said thickly; “I can see it In your face,” She came a step nearer. “Are you goln’ to call out?” Almee did not answer thut question. “Is he much hurt?” she said quietly, looking towards the distant group round the mtn on the gate. “Hurt 7’ said Calamity Kate. “He smashed himself days ago, it was.” She had subsided on the sand, and embraced her knee* with her arms, staring before Iter with unseeing eyes. “I got him down here. Tried to help him along—couldn't walk. Then .1 had to carry him.” “You I” said Almee, looking wonaerIngly at the girl’s slight figure. "Yes, me. It took me—hours. Car­ ried him—on me back—somehow. When it came daylight, I found the cave. Got him In. I ripped up me skirt to bandage him. I stole food for him. night*. In two or three days more I guess he’d have been able to get away. Now they've got him, an' they'll have me." She rocked herself gently to and fro. “It’ll be b—1 for Jake I" she said thickly. “To know they’ve got me I" She looked at A'mee. “If I could go with him—if they’d put us both In the same Jug—I wouldn’t care. But they don't do that" She gave a great sob. “I'd give me life to get him out of It But he's done, and he'll know they’ve got me. It’ll be h—1 for him My man!" An unreasoning flood of tears came Into Aimee’s eyes. She looked once more towards the group. The police were spreading out across the pits, moving In her direction. “My man!” sobbed Kate. "You love him?" said Almee halt­ ingly. "He's my husband!” said the wowm She flung herself face down­ wards on the sand, and wept Suddenly Almee stooped and caught her by the Shoulder. "Come with me I" she said swiftly, and, turning, crept In through the screen of brambles, into the cave. Kate looked up comprehendlngly. Then, with the Instinct of the hunted animal she dived through the bushes and went to ground'. The girls found themselves together in the cool gloom of the cave. Kate stared at Almee with wonder­ ing eyes. "I'm sorry for you!’’ said Almee unsteadily. “I never thought,” said Kate, "to find any woman sorry for me." She glanced round the walls of the cave. "They’ll find me here—Just the same." ’They may not.” Almee, very pale, looked at the fugitive. “Don’t you think,” she said, “that If you got clear this time, you might—drop it all? Try —something different?” "I might.” said Kate slowly. “But— they’ll get me.” She caught sight ot the Flying Sphinx, standing In the dim light at the cave's end. “What's that7’ she exclaimed, and moved swiftly to the machine. Almee watched her. “You couldn't ride It,” said Almee, “not even If thezway was clear." T can ride anything with an engine to It!” said hate desperately. There was a gleam of hope In the hunted eyes; already her hands were busy with the levers; searching, examining. But she stopped, baffled. The controls of the Sphinx wtre too much for her. The next moment Almee was beside her. •That's the throttle!" said Almee swiftly. “Here’s the starter — this changes the gear—you have to be careful with the Intake. On the sec­ ond speed she goes over the roughest ground like a bird—on the level road she'll do eighty. If you could get her out clear of the bushes—but you’d never get away with It—n The woman turned to her, gasping. “Will you let me try—7’ she ex­ claimed. It was then that a shock of revul­ sion came over Almee. This was the female rattlesnake who had nearly killed Billy, and caused all the trouble. Why should Almee fee! pity? The broken man In the hands of the po­ lice— A rustle among the bushes at the cave's mouth made the two women turn quickly. De Jussac. stepping in­ side, halted and stared blankly at them both. Ten thousand devils!" exclaimed Bertrand, momentarily startled out of politeness. "You needn't be frightened for me." said Almee quickly. “She’ll do me no harm." Bertrand’s, active brain took In the situation briefly. "No harm!” he said. “Name of a name! If the police found you here with that!" Almee turned very white. That as­ pect of the case had not even occurred to her. In the stress of new emotions, the realisation of danger to henelf had been crowded out It ahe had to explain to the police . . . “Yea," said Almee quietly. “If they come here—I’m done for.” The strident voice of Inspector Ark­ wright was heard, very close at hand. Monsieur de Jussac pushed his way out through the bramble* and relialaed the open air. The three police­ men together were converging towards the spot. "Another cave there I” cried Inspec­ tor Arkwright T thought so. This way Panke!” I>e Juh*hc halted before the en­ trance, and? selecting a cigarette from hl* rase? lit ft deliberately. “You may save yourself the trouble.

Curse these briars!” “All right" said Arkwright, turning away; “push on and search the other end, Panke. No use wasting time here. I think we’re on a fool's errand after aUF The three police passed out of eight round the bend of the pits. There was a long pause. Aimee's face peered cautiously through the branmbles. "What a fearful liar you are, Vi­ comte I” she said with mingled re­ morse and admiration. Bertrand? without turning; bowed gravely. “I do my best” he murmured, “In defense of a lady with such a genius for getting into difficulties. But let me beg of you to remain where you are." “Are the police out of sight?” said Almee eagerly. “For the present yes. They are away round the corner—all three. But they may come back." A moment’s silence followed the warning. Then the brambles parted, and the Flying Sphinx came thrusting through. Kate was beside it her bands gripping the bars, her face white and strained, her teeth tight set She gave a swift glance to either side, and began to run the machine down the slope. De Jussac, with an amazed excla­ mation, turned to Intercept her. He found a hand detaining him; Almee had gripped him by the arm. “Let her go!" said Almee breath­ lessly. “Let her go!" “Name of a name!” said Bertrand blankly. But he obeyed. There was little choice. Already Calamity Kato was well down the slope, running be­ side the free-wheel Inc Sphinx that ga‘b ered more and more lnwf>t« ' weight The deftness with which jhe woman steered it between the Humps of bushes was astounding. “She hasn’t a dog’s chance,” said Almee with a gulp, "but what chance there Is—let her take It." “A nation of sportsmen — quo!!” murmured Bertrand with a paralyzed air. He glanced to the left where the police had disappeared round the shoulder of the bluff. There was still no sign cf them. Kate, reaching the trodden path at the bottom, turned sharp to the right and swung herself into the saddle. “It Is one's duty to stop her,” said Bertrand, twisting his mustache in perplexity. "But—one does not hunt a woman.” "She’ll never get started on that ground,” said Almee. The engine fired, stopped, fired again—the wheels threw up spirts of sand, then getting onto harder ground the machine ran swiftly ahead with the faint pulsing whirr that was the Sphinx’s song of triumphant progresa She shot forward much too fast, and was only Just controlled fn time. No other cycle than the Sphinx could have made good over such ground; no other could have sailed so efficiently and noiselessly up the steep path through the gup towards the higher ground at the far end. It was a wonderful exhibition of riding. As the fugitive sped by, Billy, stand­ ing on guard beside the captive Jake, turned and stared In petrified amaze­ ment. Jake raised himself to a sitting po­ sition on the gate, and stared, too. “She was in trouble—just a* I’ve tieen. Everybody’s shielded me at their own risk,” said Almee defiantly. “How could I do leas for her7’» “Alas, the morals of tire age!" said Bertrand, and he laughed gently. “A sermon would not become me—I also am a coadjutor. I wlh observe the movement* of the enemy." He climbed quickly onto the shoul­ der of high ground that divided them from the end of the pit, and returned in a few moments. “Obviously our Industrious police, did not see her.” he Mid; “they are now searching the last of the caves.” •Then it’s time I got back Into mine," said Almee turning to dive back Into her retreat • “Not so J” exclaimed Bertrand quick­ ly, catching her by the hand. That Is no place for you.” “Why?” “The gentleman from Scotland Yard will search It before he leaves—be took my word for the moment but he will make sure. It was merely that he was in a hurry. You must get out of this while you can; like your friend the lady burglar. Gome along!" said Ber­ trand. setting off at a run and pulling her with him. “You’re right!” ejaculated Almee. With long strides they sped round the clump of bushes, Almee in tow of Ber.trand, and. turning sharp to the right, scurried up one of the steep paths that led out of the pits. Billy suffered yet one more shock as the pair of them came Into his field of vision. He gaped at them, hardly able to believe his eyes, fii a few moments they had passed; Aimee reached the top of the pit, and Bertrand glanced ap­ prehensively back tn the direction of the police. "All clear 1” he gasped, utterly out of breath. “Get to the road—get out of sight. Back to the abbey, dear lady, and for pity’* sake stay there, for you are very wearing. Go!” , “Thanks, awfully!" panted Aimee, and departed as fast as her legs would carry her. De Jussac retreated Into the pit, mopping his brow Taking no no­ tice of the'frantic signals of Billy he returned to the cave, dived Into It took n hurried look round and kicked plenty of loose sand over a pool of oil that was the sole legacy oQhe Sphinx. He left the place with a sigh of relief and, encountering the search party of police, permitted himself to smile. “Nothing doing!” said Inspector Ark­ wright “Panke, will you go back? Bring the cor down over the meadow; we'll get the man on It, clear the pits, and set a watch In the cave where we found him." He moved towards the late stable of the Sphinx. “But I'm going to look through tills place and make sure." “By all means. Inspector," said Ber­ trand yawning. “I am a mere amateur. All caves look alike to roe. Mind the briars; they prick most accursedly." Arkwright's Inspection of the cave was brief. Tt Is empty, but the place lias been used, and recently,” he reported. “Strange they should not have chosen it; it is the best hiding place In the pit" “Perhaps they only recently discov­ ered this desirable residence, and were about to shift their quarters,” suggest­ ed de Jussac. “No doubt. If a few watchful policemen ambush themselves efficiently during the dark hours, they will catch the amiable consort of that cutthroat yonder. One hopes so. It Is painful to the law-abiding to know that malefactors are at large. Particularlywhen they are females.” Inspector Arkwright looked at him dubiously, and made no reply. Billy, also, when the two rejoined him, eyed de Jussac with extreme thoughtful­ ness, and had some difficulty in sup­ pressing his emotion. He was still mounting guard over Jake, who lay upon his Improvised stretcher and gazed up at the sky with a singularly beatific smile. De Jussac offered him a cigarette, which be accepted silently. “I think," said Inspector Arkwright, “I'll call on you two gentlemen to as­ sist me and we’ll get him >it of this. I want the place cleared." It was not an easy matter to carry the gate and its burden out of the pits. By the time they had achieved It, the car arrived from Jervaulx and wound Its way over the flat turf. Jake was lifted into IL “I must trouble you to accompany me, Mr. Spencer," said Arkwright "Anything to oblige the police," said Billy, squeezing himself Into the front of the car. It was a tight fit (TO BE CONTINUED.? Lake a Gold and 81'ver Cache.

He uttered a hoarse cry—almost a cheer. The Sphinx and its rider breasted the crest of the rise, staggered, and sailed away out of view. CHAPTER XXV Twy of a Kind. Almee gav/a little gurgle of excite­ ment as the Sphinx vanished. "She’s away! And I don’t believe they’ve seen her! If she can stick to it over the field to the gate, there’s open road before her and she's dear!" Almee turned to de Jussac with shining eyes. He shrugged his shoul­ ders faintly. “A supremely foolish act, mademoi­ selle,” said Bertrand. �Mr. and Mrs. Haz Feighner and; The Hunt Stock con daughter Ada and Mrs. Ed.

A threshing crew was busily at work, when flames broke out at the top of the straw stack, apparently coming from the wind-stacker of the machine. What caused the flames is mere conjec­ ture, but there is no guess work as to the damage they did. The fire spread rapidly fropi the straw stack to the big barns, which were soon a mass of flames, in spite of all that could be done to prevent, by the gang of workmen. The destruction was Complete, but hard work prevented the flames spreading to the other buildings on the place. The fire loss is estimated at ap­ proximately >4,000 on barns and con­ tents, and there was but >750 insur­ ance on the buildings. The con­ tents were fully covered. The In­ surance was carried In the Farmers Mutual of Barry, Ionia and Kent, known as the "Woodland Company,” and has already been adjusted. Mr. Hoffman had recently pur­ chased the farm/from Ed Liebhaus­ er. and It is the old L. B. Potter place, on the east side of the Nash­ ville-Battle Creek road. The barns were old, but were in fairly good shape and the loss will fall heavily on Mr. Hoffman. County Pioneer society this fall! Paper—Contributed by Hon. Frank A. Dean, Charlotte. Short speeches by a few of Belle­ vue's oldest pioneers. Address—Rev. H. B. Johnson, of Ver­ montville. The program will be interspersed with music.

In the evening occurs the usual concert by the Bellevue orchestra, and on this occasion free moving pic­ tures will be given out of doors.

Music for the day will be furnish­ ed by the Second Regiment Band of thirty piedes from Camp Custer, one of the beet Regiment Bands in the service. Another interestjng fea­ ture will be aeroplane flights. The Bellevue Commercial club which has charge of the celebration is arrang­ ing for other attractions. The Bellevue Gazette, edited by George Brown and son. has arranged with the staff camera man at the Post Theatre in Battle Creek to take mov­ ing pictures of the crowd and the at­ tractions. These pictures will be shown at the Post Theatre the week of August 19th to 25th. Every effort will be made to pro­ vide comforts for the pioneers who attend. Headquarters properly marked will be found in the park, where the- pioneers may rest • and take their baskets and wraps. Tables will be provided so that the pioneers may eat together if they wish. The pioneer program follows immediate­ ly after the dinner. The officers of the society. Presi­ dent Frank N. Green. Olivet; Secre­ tary Miss Cynthia A. Green, Char­ lotte, and Treasurer A. B.

He is one of these old fashioned folks who were taught to believe that if you wanted things done right It is a go'od plan to do them yourself. Mr. Mosely still operates his farm and while he does­ n't take so active a part as he once did, he still has an eye on things and the other day when the, sun was hot and the hay was curing more rapid­ ly than the men could care for It, he decided to take a hand himself, so he mounted the hay rake behind a pair of good horses—Mr. Mosely doesn’t take to new fangled snortin’ tractors—and raked up a big field of hay. He says it was pretty hot but it didn't bother him much, any way the hay was raked and is now in. the barn and the old gentleman can look from his shady yard down into the field all cleanly harvested and feels that he is a long ways from be­ ing ready to retire.

Speaking in New York recently, Frederick J. H. Kracke, U. S. Ap­ praiser, said that the United States Treasury will collect this fiscal year over a half billion dollars in customs duties, which Is the largest sum ever collected by the Federal Government. We will import close to $3,000,­ 000,000 worth of raw material in twelve months, which means that we will have spent three billions in for­ eign countries, and this Mr. Kracke says, is the greatest act of economic reconstruction performed by any one country since the armistice. Our nation wide demand for raw materials and finished goods has been so great that foreign manufac­ turers and producers have been able to share with the people of this coun­ try the period of Industrial and com­ mercial prosperity. This shows that our prosperity is laying the foundation for an era of International prosperity which only international political uncertainties can disturb. Also it shows that a reasonable tariff does not kill trade with for­ eign countries. If tax-free foreign goods could be dumped on the Amer­ ican market to the ruination of our own industries, the American work­ man and American people would not have the money to buy foreign pro­ ducts to the great benefit of foreign nations, in any such quantities as they are now purchasing. By main­ taining American industries on a prosperous basis, we not only help ourselves but foreign countries. Lots of bargains listed in the News Want Column.

"On the contrary, inspector Ark­ wright is an uncommonly clever man, my lady," be said respectfully. "As for me, I had—luck. Luck's a queer thing.

Lady Erythea contemplated Billy’s tall figure and serenely handsome face with a certain regret. "I am sorry," she said, “that you are leaving Jervaulx." Billy smiled. "The week I have spent In your Indyship's service,’’ he said gently, “has been the happiest time of my life." Lady Erythea was not given to ex­ pressing her emotldfis. But her aus­ tere face positively tinged a faint pink color .with pleasure.

I’d have chased fifty female thieves sooner than you should taker a chance! I ought to be horsewhipped for riskin' It” “I think It was fine of you, Billy!” cried Aimee with sparkling eyes. “No!" he said. “It's you that were fine.” “This," said Aimee, "is what comes of growing sentimental. Neither of us would have dreamed of making such— such fools of ourselves a week ago. What will become of her? Will she get awayF "I don't know or care.

She'll jump at It." "Nothing doing!’’ said Billy sternly. Aiinee sighed. The hour was nearly noon oo the day following the Odyssey of the crag pits. No news had been heard of Calamity Kate, who appeared to have drifted out of history on the Sphinx. A brief interval of peace had settled upon Jervaulx. “There’ll be a vacancy for a parlor­ maid an’ chauffeur,” announced Bl|ly wlth decision. He was standing on the gravel just outside the window. "All the bother with the police Is wiped off the slate. It's only a fool that backs bls luck too far. And It's time to quit the game and turn the lights out." 'That means Aunt has got to know who I am, and who Georgie is; and— and all the rest of it.” “There's no way out of that, I’m afraid.” “I know. But I do rather funk It, Billy. The worst If It Is poor old Georgie is In a tighter place than I am." “We’ll have to see her through It." “Don’t you think." said Aimee, dis­ tinctly worried, "that It would be best If Georgina arranged to cut short her visit and went home—and Amy Snooks gave notice, or just cleared out. You as well. Then we—we could explain It aU by letter, or something. I think It would look better that way." Billy looked at her a little oddly. “I am in a funk, Billy," said Aimee, trembling slightly. “I don’t care for myself, but It’s awful to think of poor Georgie having the storm break on her. She Isn't built for It. I believe If the thing Isn't sprung cm us suddenly, and we manage it at the right time, we— we might get away with It." "Right again,” said Billy, "but I shan't go. I shall stay and put St thrbugh myself.” “No!" said Aimee quickly. “I won't hear of that." ' "You Just leave It to me,” said Billy, soothingly, "there’s another way. I’ll show you—” The whirr of a motor Interrupted him. A large automobile was ap­ proaching up the park road. Aimee looked at It. Such an expression of * horror came over her features that Billy was startled. "What’s the matter?" "That's absolutely torn it!’ said Aimee In strangled tones. “Eh!" “It’s Dad!" Aimee dived back Into the room like a rabbit retreating Into Its burrow. The automobile swept up to the main entrance; tbe Very Reverend I-'•rd Scroope descended. “Is Lady Erythea InF he said, al­ most curtly, to the butler. “Announce me at once, please. Lord Scroope." Mr. Tarbeaux showed him Into the empty drawing room. Lord Scroope deposited his hat among a cluster of Dresden ornaments. His brow, usually white and serene as alabaster, was clouded. Lady Erythea entered ma­ jestically. “Anthony I" she said. Lord Scroope, omitting any greeting, regarded her fixedly. T received your letter by last night's post, Erythea, announcing Aimee’s en­ gagement to Alexander. I borrowed the bishop's car, and I have been trav­ eling from Closcinlnster since seven this mornljug." Lady Erythea received the news w 1th a smile of approval. 'The silly child wished me to delsy announcing her betrothal. But that, of course, I could not consent to. I wrote to you at once, Anthony.

Entirely un welcome. “Y^ea," gulped Alexander's fiancee. Lady Erythea stiffened In every Urab. "I'm Georgina. I couldn't help it." Her eur-trumpet was presented In one She collapsed into an armchair and hand; with the other she raUed her burst Into tears. Alexander sti»<»d over lorgnettes and directed them at Lord her like a large and protective dog; he laid a hand <»h tier shoulder and glared at tbe others with defiance. Lady Erythea turned pale., It was disconcerting, to find two members of the Scrixqie family simultaneously rmltten with insanity. "Where Is Almre?’ Insisted Lord Scroope. turning upon her. "Where is my. daughter T* "Dad!" Tbe dinheveied parlor maid darted In through the door. Aimee's cap was Regarded Each Other Glassily. bright ; the tup of her apron heaved tumultuously, She stopped short, as Lady Erythea glared sj>eechless at this irruption. . "Don't cry. Georgie,” said Aimee; "It wasn't your fault." “Have I l>een transported into Bed­ lam?’ asked Lord Scroope, dizzily. “Or are you rehearsing a charade? What ' Is she doing In this costume?” Lady Erythea struggled for breath. ‘This," she said grimly, “Is my par­ lor maid, Snooks, whom I foolishly en­ gaged on your recommendation. She has engaged herself again, however, to my chauffeur." Lord Scroope looked at his sister-in­ law with commiseration. "This," he stild, In the soothing tone with which one would address a de­ lirious person, “Is my daughter, Aimee. I am rather glad to find her—In any costume. I begun to wonder what you had done with her." Lady Erythea's frame slowly stiff* ened. Her fingers clenched the ear­ trumpet as though It were the handle of a club. Her eyes were terrible. Be­ fore the storm could break, Aimee in­ tervened. "It wasn't Aunt's fault. Dad," she said breathlessly, “nor Georgle's—nor Alexander's. It was all mine. And if you all want to beat somebody, it had better, be me! I—I’m here to explain !’* “Some explanation,” said Lord Scroope quietly, “seems to be called for." Aimee, avoiding her aunt's eyes, ad­ dressed herself to the quivering ear­ trumpet. “I didn't want to come here. Dad made me. I was—frightened of you. Anyway, I didn’t think Jervaulx.would suit me. and that you’d hate me. So I skipped tbe car at Burn Ash," said Aimee, her speech pouring from her like a torrent, “and made the chauffeur bring Georginft on here. And I went off on my'own! "Georgina arrived here, .and ynu took her for me. You Insisted she was me. And she didn't dare explain, for fear of getting me into a row. That’s what Georgie is! She can’t He—she can't even act—but she’d let you cut her In pieces before she'd get rne Into trouble! “I got here the same night, and climbed into her room. And Georgie begged me to own up, and I wouldn't. And I came the next night: Georgie was ready to give it all away—and then the burglars got in. I was nearly caught, all the household chased me, the butler tore a great piece out of my skirt. But I got away, and nt last, right down by the crossroads, I ran Into Bli—Mr. Spencer." Aimee paused for breath. "Who," Inquired Lord Scroope, in the hush Hint followed. “Is Mr. Spencer?" “A motorcyclist. He had cofue across the thieves getting away, had a fight with them—they were too many for him, but he got back some of the jew­ els. I told him the awful mess I was In. Of course, the police were after me—I’d seen their car already. If they got hold of me,- they'd know the—the silly thing I’d done." said Aimee with a gulp. "It would come out that 1 was your daughter—It would be all over the country, and In all the newspapers!” Lord Scroope, very pale, drew a deep breath, and gave a prolonged shudder. “B—Mr. Spencer told me I'd got to go back and make a clean breast of It ail. He wanted to tel! you. But I didn't dare. I refused to-let him say any­ thing—I made him swear he wouldn't. It was my trouble, not his. So he did what I asked; even though It meant the police would suspect him, too. So he took the jewels to Aunt Erythea, and never said a word about me; and w^en she offered him the Job as chauf­ feur be took It; so that the police wouldn't suspect him—or me! He came here and drove Aunt’s cars I” "And you?' said her father quietly. “What happened to youF "I went back to Scroope next day. I found Amy Snooks was coming here as maid—I made her go to Seabridge, and took her place, Dad. Just to be safe from those beastly police—In the hope they’d catch the thieves, if we gave them time—and then- they wouldn’t catch me and make me explain. And It’s just what happened; Billy—Mr. Spencer—caught one of them yester­ day, and the police have got him. No­ body knows anything about me, except you here!" f ■ Aimee panted nKe n fiver at bay. (TO BS CON’TfMQED.) ’ Scroope. The two regarded each other glassily. ' "I do not understand you," said Lady Erythea with frigidity. ‘Alexander is a young man of unexceptionable char­ acter and prospects. Jervaulx will be his. The Scroope estate Is entailed, and I am sufficiently au fait with your af­ fairs to know that when your two* sons !n the Senlee are provided for there will be no overpowering fortune left for Aimee. It appears that if there Is any complaint, It should come from me." “The financial aspect of the question does not weigh with me,” said Lord Scroope with asperity. “I object to the match Itself. If Alexander Is to, marry at all—" . “IX he Is to marry I" interrupted Lady Erythea warmly. "Of course he is to marry. Though I confess I was very much afraid he never would. Penult me to tell you, Anthony, that In taking up this attitude as to the marriage of priests, you stand on a very shaky foundation. You yourself are a Clerk in Orders, and an Extreme Ritualist. Shall I remind you that If you had not married Dellcla—and an excellent thing It was for you—this situation would never have arisen!’’ T am not conscious of having ex-, pressed any such argument," said Lord Scroope very stiffly, but with a certain pinkness about the ears. "As for Alex­ ander, he is In every way an excellent young man. But If he Is to marry, the last thing I should have desired is his alliance with my daughter. Their tem­ peraments are so opposed that I am convinced nothing but unhappiness Could result—In fact, your news seemed to me almost Incredible. I do not know what to do—the posl^on Is very diffi­ cult for me, If tl»e child has really be­ come attached to him,” concluded Lord Scroope, with visible distress. "Good gracious, man, what did you expect?" exclaimed his sister-in-law. “It never entered my head," said Lord Scroope. emphatically. “I thought that your influence, and that of Alex­ ander. would have a steadying effect on Aimee, who was In some need of It. But this—!" Lady Erythea showed Increasing ex­ asperation. • “You are talking rubbish!" she ex­ claimed, sharply. “Of all the girls known to me, uo more suitable mate could be found for Alexander. Indeed, during her sojourn here Aimee has en­ deared herselt to me scarcely less than to him. Her piety, her quiet devotion— the complete absence In her of all slanginess—all these speak eloquently In her favor.” * Lord Scroope gazed at her In bewil­ derment. "I really do not follow you. Erythea. And I am greatly disappointed," said Lord Scn-ope heavily, "greatly disap­ pointed. I did not foresee this.” *'I gm not responsible, my dear Anthony, for your lack of foresight," said his sister-in-law, acidly. A shadow darkened tiie window, and she turned. “But yonr daughter can answer for her­ self." Georgina stepped In through the, open window, followed by Mr. Lambe. Suddenly observing Lord Scroope she halted and became rigid. Every scrap of color left her cheeks. Alexander baited also, and slowly turned a deep plum color. “Since it Is fait accompli," said Lady Erythea to her brother-in-law, almost with a touch of pleading, ‘'be amiable, Anthony, and bestow your blessing on the happy pair."

The locals were in good form, and held their opponents score­ less while they were piling up eleven runs. Twelve safe hits were charged against Maurer, the Charlotte twirler, also five free passes to first, and these added to the numerous errors made by his team-mates made a comedy of the contest. A return game will be played later in the sea­ son. and the Charlotte boys have promised to get revenge for their shut-out.

Rarely have the people of . the United States experienced a greater shock of sorrow than came to them Friday morning when the. news flashed over the country that Presi­ dent Warren Gamaliel Harding had passed away Thursday evening at the Palace hotel at San Francisco, where he had been for several days suffering from pneumonia, sub se­ quent to a violent attack..of ptomaine poisoning. The President was taken ill on the boat which he was returning from Alaska. Immediately upon his ar­ rival at San Francisco he was taken , to the Palace hotel, where the en* tire upper floor of the magnificent hostelry had been reserved for the presidential party. He was given the best of medical attendance by his own personal physician. Dr. C. E. Sawyer, and by four other eminent physicians, with a full comple­ ment of nurses. He was thought to be recovering and his condition was bulletined as satisfactory as late as Thursday morning, but in the even­ ing be was stricken by cerebral ap­ oplexy and bls death was almost in­ stantaneous. Mrs. Harding was at his betteide reading to him. When she paused at the close of a sentence he commented "That’s good; read _some more.” Then a slight shiver passed over him and while the be­ loved wife bent over him he quietly breathed his last. The great soul of Warren Gamaliel Harding, twenty­ ninth president of the United States, had returned to God, who gave it. The presidential party was on its way home from Alaska on the “Henderson,” when the president was taken 111 with ptomaine poison­ ing. His strenuous trip has weak­ ened him so that he fell a ready victim to pneumonia, with which he was taken soon after landing at Ban Francisco. His lungs were said to be clearing up. however, and on Thursday the danger point _ thought to have been passed, the country being cheered by the news First Lady of Land and Her Boys that went out that morning. Dur-, ing the day, however, his tempera­ ture and respiration came up again and his heart showed signs of the strain which had been put upon it, so that grave anxiety was manifest­ ed by his physicians during the day. The remains were taken to Wash-, ington on the same train which had taken the party to the coast on its western trip. The train left San Francisco Friday evening and pro­ ceeded directly to Washington, with­ out stop except for change of en­ gines and crews. Upon the arrival of the cortege in Washington the re­ mains were taken directly to the White House, where the body of the beloved president laid in state for a short time before being taken to the rotunda of the capltol, there to rest in state until Wednesday afternoon, when funeral services were held. The body wifi then be taken direct to Marion. Ohio, the hornet city of the Hardings, for Interment in the fami­ ly lot.

Not a Single Acquittal During the Six Months. PRESIDENT HARDING IH DE ID. This unexpected news, flashed by wire and radio over the eountcv Friday morning, brought sadness and aorrow to the entire nation. We doubt if any man ever in pub­ lic life had ao endeared himself to a period of time as had Warren G. Harding. He had won the admira­ tion of all the people by his quiet, unassuming, yet none the lees effec­ tive administration of tl\e affairs,of the country. • Taking the reins of government at a time when the country was just apakenlng from the nightmare of war, with chaos reigning in many governmental departments and prac­ tically. all the affairs of government at a low ebb, he surrounded himself with the wisest thinkers and the abl­ est workers of the country and set about in a quiet way to untangle the mixed affairs and get the govern­ ment functioning along sane and businesslike methods. He and his co-workers met with marked success. Such success, in fact, that the United States today Is the most substantial and stable country in the world, and to which the rest of the world is looking for guidance and deliverance from the evils subsequent to the greatest war the world has ever known. President Harding, when he took the reins of government, was placed in as delicate a position as any pres­ ident the country has ever had since Lincoln. Yet he tackled every prop­ osition thoughtful!* and prayerfully, never allowing himself to become panic-stricken, and demonstrated his greatness by winning more commen­ dation and less criticism from think­ ing people than perhaps any man who bos eVer occupied the exaltpd position which he held. Though all the «torm and strife of reconstruction, he was the calm, wise, thoughtful leader, enlisting the loving service of every member of his cabinet, and by his unruffled de­ meanor and thoughtful kindness in all times of crisis or travail won the love and admiration of all with whom he came in contact. During all the trip which ended with his sudden demise, he was ev­ erywhere received with loving en­ thusiasm. and he endeared himself to every audience to which he spoke by his gentle ways and his wonder­ fully expressed love of the United States and its neople. His devotion to and tender solici­ tude for the semi-invalid wife who accompanied him wherever be went served as another appeal to the- love and respect of the people of the country, whose hearts go out in si­ lent sympathy to the noble woman who during these trying days is demonstrating the heroic qualities which mark her as a Atting mate to the great soul of President Harding. Her courage has won for her the admiration of the people of the great nation in whose service her devoted husband paid the price of a.blimo sacrifice. How like to the w’dow of anoth­ er great man. the martyred McKin­ ley. And like Mrs. McKinley, she will have the love and devotion of the nation until sbo is called to loin the noble mate for whom she mourns. The pages of history will give War­ ren G. Harding the full measure of credit for the wonderful work he has done for the United States and for the world, and even his most severe critics have never afesailea the honesty of his purpose or his lov^ and devotion to his country. May the glorious example of his devotion, his love, his earnestness and his arduous efforts for the wel­ fare of all the people of our coun­ try inspire all of us to emulate his glorious example of real patriotism.

Higdon was alone in the car he was driving, which is owned by Jay Lane. Barnes had five passengers besides himself in his car, all young folks enjoying an evening ride. Hig­ don received a bad bruise over one eye and quite a gash was cut, but the injury was not serious. No one in the Barnes car received any injury. Higdon was going north. Barnes was coming south. Both had dim­ med their lights for passing and Barnes was almost on top of a bug­ gy ahead of him in the road before he saw it. Involuntarily swinging his car to the left to avoid smashing the buggy, he came squarely into collision with the Higdon car.

NASHVILLE TRIMS HASTINGS INDEPENDENT*. SCORE 0 TO 4. The Nashville base ball teap put up a good exhibition of the national game at HastJags Bunday afternoon, humbling the county seat Independ­ ents or their own grounds. The final score was 6 to 4, and the game was just as close as the tally would indicate, the result being in doubt until the final inning. Donald Sprague and Johnny Johnson, the high school battery, worked for Nashville and bandied their jobs well, experiencing no more trouble with the-Independents than they did with Hastings High last spring. Joy and Rosser started for Hastings, with Rousch relieving Joy on the mound in the last Inning. Nashville took the lead in the first inning, when Pennington singled. Rousch fumbled Teddy Townsend's grSMkler and Bill Martin laced out a wffl-baggeT to center, Pennington ana Townsend scoring. Hastings came back with one in their half of the opener. Hines laid a perfect bunt down the third base line and was safe at first. Balch was out on an infield fly, but Knowles connect­ ed with one for a three-bagger, scor­ ing Hines. "Dub" .ended the* in­ ning by fanning both Rousch and Payne. Neither side was able to score again until the fifth, when Nash­ ville added one on Pennington's trip­ le and Martin's . sacrifice fly. Bast­ ings kept pace, Hines singling, going to third on Balch’s safe hit and scor­ ing on Housch’s sacrifice fly. Hastings started a rally in the eighth that netted them two scores and momentarily gave them the lead. Knowles singled. Rousch grounded to D. Sprague, who tried for a double play, but his throw to seqond drew Townsend off the bag and both runners were safe.

Nine persons were rescued from West Gun lake Monday afternoon in the most terlftc vfind storm within the memory of the oldest resorters at the lake. The gale blew the waters Into a veritable eddying froth and impended death to those on the lake when the storm suddenly broke. There has never been a drowning on this lake since time of record.

After rescuing them Ted saw a boat with five occu­ pants disappear under the waves. Reaching them in his launch he found two man in the water andAhree children clinging to the overturned boat. He returned them to Sweet­ land’s landing. Here the wife of one of the men had fainted after watching the boat capsize.

Sunday was Michael Ehret’s sev­ enty-ninth birthday, and relatives to the number of thirty-five gathered at his home to help him celebrate the occasion. Mr. Ehret, who lives alone On his farm north of the vil­ lage, is remarkably healthy and ac­ tive for one of his age, and spent an enjoyable day visiting. with his guests.

W. Bennett Is to be congratulated upon the excellence of the program he had prepared and the success with which Prof. Eben Mumford of M. A. C. as the principal speaker of the oc­ casion and his address was a fine " one and was well received by the large audience. Lack of time pre­ vents giving a synopsis of his talk In this Issue, but wo will give the salient points of his talk in ‘ next week's News. County Agent Ben­ nett also made a stirring talk along the lines of better farm conditions. Music added greatlv to the pleasure of the occasion. The program was in charge of Eli Lindsey, county president. The sports were in charge of J. R. Matthews, and all of the events were hotly contested. Quoits en­ gaged the attention of a large num­ ber of the crowd, as many as five games being In progress at one time. The tournament, was won by Rev. Hayes and D. Willison of Delton. Frank Smith of Castleton won the boys* race, Lucille Otis of Rutland the girls’ race, for girls under 16, and Irene Austin of Castleton the race for girls under 12. Leland Bennett of Maple Grove won the ■one-legged wrestling match. Thelma Offley of Castleton the girls' ball throwing contest. Frank Smith of‘ Castleton th»; boys’ ball throw. The galloon ’blowing contests caused lots of merriment. Eliza­ beth Smith of Castleton won the con­ test for girls under 16. Kenneth Bivens of Maple Grove the one for boys under 14. Joyce VanSyckie of Johnstown that for married women, and Dwight Barnum of Carlton the one for married men. The tug of war was hotly contest­ ed. but we were unable to gather the names of the members of the various teams. The ball team from the western side of the county, under Captain Edward Sllcock. failed to material­ ize. so sides were chosen and a five Inning contest was played. Many of the guests spent the day in fishing, boating, bathing, riding the big slide, and in visiting, and all seemed to enjoy the day immensely. These annual gatherings are not only highly enjoyable affairs. but they do much to promote the growth and prosperity of the farm bureau, and the picnic of 1923 wifi go on record as one of the best ever. TOMMY BEARD ARRESTED; C HARGED WITH PERJURY. Bridegroom of a Day is in Calhoun Jail Reflecting on Problem* of Married IJfe. Undersheriff W. A. Quick went to Marshall the latter part of the week and arrested Tommy Beard ot this place on a charge of perjury. Tommy was unable to obtain bonds and is languishing in the Calhoun county chop suey. bouse, awaiting the con­ vening of circuit court. Tommy got married last week, but he had a terrible time doing it. First he went to Hastings and made appli­ cation to County Clerk Dave Honey­ well for a license to wed Miss Jose­ phine Gregg, but somebody had en­ joined David from issuing the li­ cense. averring that Miss Josephine was not a fit subject for matrimony. Second, Tommy beat it to Charlotte, taking his Josephine with him and there made application to the coun­ ty clerk for a license, but Honeywell had posted County Clerk. Wells at Charlotte on how matters stood and Tommy was again out of luck. Tommy is a persistent cuss, however, especially when it comes to getting married, so nothing daunted he hik­ ed for Marshall. Here he convinced the county clerk that he was a resi­ dent of Calhoun county, living at Albion, secured the license, and he and the fair Josephine were immed­ iately bitched. All right so far, until the ogre ap­ peared. In the person of the afore­ said Quick, who shattered Tommy’s fondest dreams of matrimonial bliss by unfeelingly snatching him away from his bride of a day and bringing he and his bride back to Hastings, the bridegroom to be turned over to the heartless minions of "the law from Calhoun county, where it is claimed the perjury was committed to secure the license, and the bride to be placed in the hands of the Barry county probate court for in­ vestigation as to her mental and physical condition. And again love’s young dream is shattered. An overheated oil stove the home of Isaac Nesman^ northwest of town, called the fire department out there Friday, but the flames, which had a good start, had been extin­ guished by a hand chemical outfit which Mr. Nesman had on his auto­ mobile, aided by a larger one brought over by his neighbor. Franz Maurer. Little damage, but a lucky escape. PREDATORY GYPSY BAND 'RAIDS NASHVILLE STORES who will succeed Harding as party leader is a question being asked.

A band of gypsies numbering about eighty, about halt of whom were children, struck town Thursday afternoon and immediately com­ menced to swarm into various busi­ ness places, telling fortunes and looking for loose plunder. Nobody knows how much plunder of various kinds they got away with, but they didn't get away with,all of it. At Wager's billiard hall one of the women- succeeded in getting her hands on something over 140.00. but Wager missed it immediately and got Deputy Sheriff F. D. Green after it. The woman who got the money had disappeared, but Green got hold of a couple of men and when they found they could not bluff him. they shelled out the amount Wager claim­ ed he had lost and Green told them to get out of town and go fast. They did. Green then notified Sheriff Park­ er at Hastings that the gang was on its way westward and the sheriff’s force got busy. Three of the ten cars were held up near Morgan for tire trouble, but when the seven cars arrived at Hastings the officers pounced upon them before they could unload and get to work. They pro­ tested on going on until the rest of the bunch arrived, so the officers parked the seven cars down on Green street, in the west part of town, and set a guard over them. When the other three cars made their appear­ ance an officer met them and lined them up with the rest of the bunch and told them to keep right on going until they were out of the county. They headed southwest and struck Prairieville, where Marshall ’Hughes runs a store. Mr' Hughes was away, but had left the store in charge of his boy. a lad of about 15. When the boy saw the cavalcade drive up and begin to disgorge its disreputa­ ble horde, the boy locked the door, another boy being in the store with him. One of the women tried to get into the store, when the boy grabbed a shotgun and let fly, blow­ ing the upper glass out of the door and showering the gyps* woman with broken glass. That settled It. Away she went for the caravan, in they all piled, and away they went, so that they were out of sight when the of­ ficers, who were "riding herd" on them from Hastings, arrived. The officers of Kalamazoo county were also notified by phone, so that If they camped for the night in Kalamazoo county they were doubtless under surveillance. A bunch of them stopped at the Lake House resort at Thornapple, but they were told to get out and they lo»t no time in getting away. GAME AND FISH LAW CHANGES FEW BUT IMPORTANT. Official Compilation Now Ready. Lansing. August 5.—Several im­ portant additions and changes were made by the last State legislature in the game and fish laws of Michigan. Contrary to general belief there has been no open season declared on male Chinese ring-necked pheasants. Their hunting id still prohibited. The open season on ruffed grouse, commonly called partridge, has been changed in the Upper Peninsula to October 15th to November 9th, inclusive. The sea­ son in the Lower Peninsula remains from October 15th to November 20. inclusive. Bob White or quail re­ main protected indefinitely, but are still classed as game birds. The season on Sora RaH opens Septem­ ber 16th instead of September first. Cotton tailed rabbits may now be hunted until January 31st. A Voice From the Methodist E;>L*copa! Cliurch. There are brakemen enough in the church to last many, years, if we nev­ er receive another one. They are the people who are afraid the church will move ahead too fast What we want is more firemen. Come out Sunday morning and hear a sermon on "The Treasure and the Pearl” and worship with us. The topic of the Sunday evening service will be. “Character, Cleans­ ing and Power.” Do you give what the government exempts for religious purposes?

Three young ladies were out riding in a Ford sedan along the shank of the evening when the two Lansing chaps followed them to a se­ cluded spot in the road and driving by the Mason car, stopped in such a manner that the girls could not pass by. They then attempted to induce tho girls to ride with them and wore so insistent about it that Anally one of tho fellows got inside the Mason car and the other was on the running board. The driver of tho Mason se­ dan suddenly started her car and after geting well under motion, some­ one pushed tho fellow oft the running board into the ditch. He got up and started in persuit in his own car, but not being familiar with tho roads, was soon left behind. The fellow on the inside was taken for a good long ride up and down country highways which ho had never seen before, un­ til he had lost all sense of direction and then was unceremoniously left at tho roadside to And his way home as best he could. In the meantime, his side partner in mashery had given up tho chase and gone back home. It is said that the hour was rather ’ote when the second masher took up le trail back to the bright lights of je big town. “They're sure hard oiled down this way,” he said as he kicked at the dirt in the highway.— Ingham County News.

It is one of the things no one seems to be able to explain or nndtraiand why roving bands of gyp­ sies are allowed to roam the coun­ try at wHl, plying their nefarious occupation of fortune telling, stealIng and sponging their living from the honest. Industrious people of the country. For years without num­ ber these roving bands of vagabonds have been a pest and a nuisance. It was bad enough in the old days, when they traveled by horse-drawn vehic­ les, but It Is even worse now, since they travel .in high-powered auto­ mobiles. No flivvers for them. They have cars like Hudsons, Cadillacs, Packards and the like, - capable of easily doing fifty* or sixty miles an hour if necessary for a “getaway.” Not a single one of these gypsies was ever known to do a day's work nor earn an hbnest dollar. Al! their living and all their accumulation of money is gathered by dishonest means. They are perhaps the clev­ erest and most successful thieves in the country today and their predatory methods are .known to the officers of every state and every county, yet who ever heard of one of them being sent to jail? The worst that ever bef&lla them la to be told to “Move on.” the officers of one county shov­ ing them along into the next, until they finally strike some county where the officers are lax enough in their duty to let them stay and plunder the people. We commend the officers of Bar­ ry county for the prompt and effec­ tive measures they took to get rid of the gang which struck our coun­ ty last week, and their thoughtful­ ness in notifying Hie officers of ad­ joining counties o'f their approach, but these methods will prove of lit­ tle avail unless the officers of every county in the state will adopt the same measures, keeping the gangs moving so rapidly that they have no time to ply their nefarious customs ot preying on the people. These gangs must find easy pick­ ing, else how could they, travel In high priced cars and pick up enough during the summer to enable them to live in comparative luxury in some city during the winter months? Cer­ tain localities in Chicago, Detroit and other large cities are filled dur­ ing the winter months with colonies of these pests, who hibernate during the cold weather and start out on the road again In the spring. The means they use to obtain money from unsuspecting people are such that only in rare instances does their victim put up a howl to the of­ ficers, in order to get their money back. Usually the victim takes his loss rather than to let people know he was an "easy mark" who fell for their blandishments. When they strike a town, they swarm in droves into a store, and while some of them engage proprie­ tor and clerks in proposed purchases, the rest are free to help themseives to whatever they can lay hands upon. The better looking ot their women employ their blandishments upon susceptible men, who invariably lose some of their valuables in the en­ counter. When they camp for the night, woe be to the neighboring gardens and truck patches, and to anj thing-else of any value left ly­ ■ ing Ipose. In the gang which visited Nash­ ville Thursday" there were about eighty people. Make an estimate of what it costs to feed and keep that number of people, to maintain their ten big automobiles and keep them in gas, oil and tires, and you can get some idea of the amount of their dally forage, to say nothing of amas­ sing a competence for the winter. Something prompt and strenuous should be done to put a stop to this drain npon the honest people of the slate. It would be a fruitful field for the state constabulary, it they amounted to a tinker's damn for anything, which we doubt. The state police, with their pretty and speedy motorcycles, could easily and quick­ ly escort them outside the boundar­ ies of the state, but they don’L and we have never heard of an Instance ot their molesting these predatory bands in any way. Lacking the as­ sistance of the state police in ridding the state of these roving marauders, the most effective measure would be for county officers to keep on thelr( trail until they get the goods on one' or more members of the band, then arrest them and have them sent to prison. Half a dozen such instances would rid the state of all gypsies for years, for they don’t like prison life. It is altogether likely there are half a dozen of these ban<’- running around Michigan today, preying on the people of the state, and it Is high time some steps were taken to drive them out and keep them out. WEEDR. A well known lady came into the office the ofher day and said some very apt words about the city cut­ ting her noxious weeds. She said we city folks were always talking about the farmers catting their weeds and we had better cut our own. She Is right. Mason is very negligent about this matter, especially in the outlying portions of the town. The lady call­ ed our particular attention to the mhsa of wiljl parsnip that decorates the roadside on the Okemos highway. This I* not the only place. Also riding through the country we discover that Mason is not alone in this distinc­ tion. We know that farmers are busy and short of help but we can­ not help fut believe that the noxious weed law should be enforced—strict­ ly enforced against municipalities as well as against Individuals. When we ride along the road and see a well kept farm clean from foul weeds and thistles lying alongside of another farm which la a veritable seed bed propagating and scattering ever?’ known kind of foul weed, we know that both those farmers are paving a price that is greater than would be the cost of complete destruction in the beginning. — Ingham Countv, Thought for tho D,y.

With your permission, Lord Scroope, Til go below.’’ He retired, leaving the two together, and drifted into the sunny morning room overlooking the lawn. In a few moments Lady Scroope came in. Mr. R(ytagton made himself known to her. In a very short time Lady Scroope had skillfully elicited from Mr. Rlvlngton all the Information he had given to her busband, and a good deal more. She bubbled with amusement and sympathy as the enthusiastic Rlvlngton expound­ ed Billy’s qualities. “I had p few words with your neph­ ew, Mr. Rlvlngton, before he went up­ stairs." she said laughing, "a most magnetic and alluring young man. I tremble to think what hls Influence may be on my simple-minded husband.” Mr. Rlvlngton, coloring with pleas­ ure, looked admiringly at the little lady, wondering how she came to have a daughter as old as Aimee—who at that moment entered the room. Lady Scroope Introduced her guesL “Well!" murmured Mr. Rlvlngton, holding Aimee's hand after shaking it and regarding her vivid beauty with the most Intense appreciation, “I can understand Billy’s anxiety now." “Do you mean to say,” exclaimed Aimee, “that Billy is here?" “He is at present with your father in the library, dear," replied her mother. Aimee departed hastily. “Almec," her mother called after her. "you are on do account to interrupt them." Tm going to be there when they come out!" said Aimee over her shoul­ der as she disappeared. The two elder people looked at each other, and both of them laughed. Mr. Rlvlngton was charmed. Lady Scroope was wholly unlike his preconceived no1 Uons of an English peeress. They re­ sumed their conversation and drifted out through the windows to the lawn near the entrance, where stood the Sphinx. The original Sphinx, with pllllon-seat de luxe attached. t Ten minutes later Lord Scroope, ! with a countenance that was positively animated, came toward them across the grass. "My dear Dellcla I" he exclaimed. “I have no objection to saying, even be­ fore Mr. Rlvlngton, that William Spen­ cer is a most remarkable young man. Not only has hls conduct all through the affair been admirable, but his char­ acter appeals to me very greatly. There Is more Innate honesty, more of the very essence of religion, to that young fellow, than I have yet encountered to anyone of hls age." Mr. Rlvlngton, coloring still more deeply, looked at hls lordship with ap­ preciative eyes. Lady Scroope smiled. "Tony, dear, I have seldom heard you express yourself so warmly; and aa a judge of character you have taught me to regard you as Infallible. Certainly, from the rather brief Interview I had with 4lr; Spencer I formed a similar opinion. But do I understand that you have—T "Hem,” said Lord Scrocne, with some alight confusion, “we appear to be moving rather—ah—rapidly. I feel—* He broke off, apparently at a loss, as Billy and Aimee came towards them across the lawn, side by side. There was something Olympian In Billy’s as­ pect and the splendor of hls smile. Aimee was radiant and glowing. Lord Scroope scarcely recognized in her the pallid and distressed young woman who had returned from Jervaulx. It was as though an errant descendant of the gods had restored hls daughter to him. “Dad!" said Aimee. "You've been splendid, dear. And I want to suy all the nice tilings to Billy’s uncle, that I haven't had a dmnee to, yet." Lily White has been improved. It is now milled by an absolutely new process. It revolutionizes the making of flour. It means better baking. This we guarantee. It means whiter bread, better looking, better flavored bread. It means your bread will stay moist—fresher longer. It means it will bake easier and have bette» texture—firm and even. Lily White The Flour the Best Cooks Use always has been a superior flour. For years we have guaran­ teed it to be the best flour you could buy. It was only natural that when an improved system for making flour was evolved Lily White should be improved. By this new method the efficiency of the protein content of the flour is increased 30%. This means free action of the yeast on 100% of the flour instead of only 70% in making delicious breads.

I like people who don’t waste time—It makes life so much less com­ plicated." “I am certainly conscious of a great access of happiness." “Yes. Because Aimee is so happy. And Aimee’s happiness to a very Infec­ tious quality. Still, at the moment, Tony dear, you are looking a little worried and anxious. Why?" "The one rift in tbe lute," said Lord Scroope regretfully, “is this break with the Jervaulx household. Family quarrels are always petty and undig­ nified. I fear the affair has alienated Erythea. I hope I did not convey the impression that I disapproved of Alex­ ander’s marriage. Really It to an ex­ cellent thing for Georgina, and he will have a most worthy wife.” “I." said Lady Scroope, kissing the top of his head, "will make the peace with Erythea.

I A visit to Gaylqfd last Sunday gave us some little opportunity to get first hand information of the ac­ tivities ot the state police in that dis­ trict. It must be first understood that there Is a detachment of the state police stationed at Gaylord. Mindful of this fact we expected to see a spotless town, with every auto1st paying the strictest attention to road rules and regulations and the bootleggers conspicuous by their ab­ sence. We have naturally come to look upon this very essential (?) arm of the state’s tentacles as pro­ ductive of the most profound respect for the state traffic and all other laws on the statute books, because every tithe a state trooper appears on the Cheboygan horizon the natives begin to tremble, the bootleggers pull in their horns, the autoists take their feet off the accelerator, the h^ad light glare is non-exlstant, and every other bad actor just puts on his best behavior and walks the straight and narrow way. Why not do so? When once you read the "State Police” and have tho knowledge of what a moat wonderful an<L efficient organization Michigan tax payers are supporting, as an extra outlet for our idle dol­ lars. But what did a close up ob­ servation of thia bunch of trouble rectifiers disclose? First on enter­ ing the very pretty and thriving vil­ lage, jogging along at friend Lizzie's most workable gait, about 22 miles per, we were passed by a string of cars, some of whom you and I help pay for and keep in gas and repairs, and we seemed to be tied to the dock. If they were hitting up that beauti­ ful stretch of road that enters Gay­ lord at anything leas than 55 miles per we have lost all sense of speed by our constant association with one of Henry’s road, lice. We didn’t see any of those hard worked state police rush out from under the shade of their teepe to stop that gang of speeders. We have done no little kicking because some folks speed a little bit in coming Into Cheboygan, UNLIKELY YARNS. Thumb Editors In a Contest for Un­ believable Stories. The editors of the Thumb have been springing some queer stories lately. One had a yarn about there being wolves in Greenleaf, the Har­ bor Beach Times came out with a couple ot fish stories, and last week the Bad Axe Tribune took the belt with the following: There is a lot of excitement east of Ublyzover an alleged attack on A. good sized boy by a large eagle, at least it was a very large bird and theboy, Eddie Maurer, says it was aa eagle but not a bald-headed one. t Young Maurer’s story Is that he was raking hay in the field and saw a large bird flying low around the field. He left tbe rake to get a drink and as he did so the bird swooped down and grabbed hls hat, but as a hat waa-not what the eagle wanted it made another dart directly at the boy. Eddie was ready this time with hls jackknife for a good light but the bird side-swiped him with its three-foot wing and he fell to the ground, face downwards. Thia was the eagle's round and he quickly took advantage of it by grabbing the seat of Eddie’s overalls with his talons, raised the lad about thir­ teen feet from the ground and flew away into another field, In all 40 rods away. Here began round 4, when Eddie, the knife still in hl» hand began hacking at the bird’s legs, much after the fashion of his sister when she cuts off a chicken's leg. As both hands were free Ed­ die tried to break the eagle's leg af­ ter cutting it, and declares that the leg cracked under hls efforts and the bird dropped him. Eddie’s round. When young Maurer got to tho house hls parents claim that hla arms were well covered with blood that had gushed from the bird’s leg. Eddie is 13 years old and weighs about 70 pounds. He to a son of John Maurer, who lives on a farm fore, <fact is we haven’t a road into in Paris township, east of Smith’s • out city that would permit of thq corners. speed that Gaylord road allows.

What sori of a man is he! Will be' be nominated by his party next spring! Coolidge is cool, calm, calculating. He is honest He is stern. He is intensely ambi­ tious. A college graduate of fair ability, thro’ a period of law with a small amount of practice and small fees. He turned to politics and public office. He has held office of his years since maturity J Born a poor boyeon a farm, he is a typical , Yankee. How will America accept him? He is an admirable iufener. His greatest gift is ritencs. What a part it has played in the history of American politics. Charles Hughes would have been elected President had he not made a speaking tour and “talked himself out” of the election. Woodrow Wilson, during a period” of profound silence, was adjudged by millions of all nations as a superman—and then he began to talk—and an “idol of the Universe” was shattered. Warren Harding, politically wise, knew that if he stayed close by his own 44front porch,” and spoke little, that he would defeat Cox overwhelmingly, and he did. Calvin Coolidge since his election to the Vice Presidency has only strayed far from his confines one time. Out to a vast agri­ cultural fair ip Minnesota. After reading about ten minutes of his speech the crowd decided they didn’t want to hear speeches, and rudely voiced their demands “to trot out the ponies.” Doubtless'CooEdge profited politically by that experience. The only thing that will outwr^h silence for President Coolidge will be the actual “delivery of the goods,” as required by a more and more exacting p-.’ ’ic. And here’s a few of the things about which ihcy will want “to be satisfied.” E What are you going to do to stop the threatened coal strike and another v inter of freezing faiu'Kc ’ What arc you ^oing to do to help the farmer who has to pay profiteering prices for what he buys, and sells his product* for less than the cost of production? Are ycu going to advocate America’s entry into a League of Nations or a World Court? Upon his action on these and dozens of other public questions will depend the Republican nomination of Calvin Coolidge next spring, or at least, his election or defeat in the fall of 1924.

W., Felghner was at Gaylord Friday atad Saturday attending -a gathering of the pencil pushers of ths northern part of the state. The editors were entertained by Forrest Lord, publisher of the Otsego Coun­ ty Herald and Times, at his com­ modious cottage at Wah Wah Boo re­ sort on Otsego lake, which is one of the most beautiful lakes In the whole of the north country. The guests gathered at Wah Wah Soo Friday afternoon, and the lake being too rough for fishing or boating, they amused themselves at "barnyard golf" until the call came for dinner. And what a dinner it was, perfect in all it* appointments, and charm­ ingly served by Mrs. Lord and some of her lady friends. After dinner, grouped comfortably around a fire of pine knots in the big fire-place, the publshers "talked shop” until they were pretty well talked out, then, found comfortable rooms at the Arbutus Beach Jtotel, Where they slept soundly to the music of the waves lapping upon the Deach. After a-bounteous breakfast at the hotel, the forenoon was enjoyed in visit­ ing, more "shop talk” and more quoit-pitching, until it came time to break up and regretfully head for home. Mr. and Mrs. Lord are cer­ tainly charming host and hostess and the memory of our visit to their hospitable cottage will linger long as another bright spot along Ufa’s highway.

The sale' is to be held- September 22nd in the splendid new sales pavillion which was recently erected and placed at the disposal of Ionia County farm­ ers by the National Bank of Ionia. The idea is believed to be a new one, and credit for It la given to B. F. Hall, of Belding. On his sug­ gestion the Ionia County Farm Bu­ reau is featuring the sale, the first of its kind, and it is expected that it will lead the way to other sales of a similar nature that will result in great benefit to the live stock in­ dustry. No "Equal Rights.” According to County Agent R. L. Helm, the proposed sale ia novel and has the peculiar feature of being the first sale of the kind ever attempted in the state. It ia to be a sire sale exclusively. There are no "equal rights” about it. The females of the species will not Uke part. The plan briefly ia thia: . Only sires are to be sold. Two to four good registered male animals of all breeds of dairy cattle,- beet cattle, hoga and sheep being raised in the county are to be consigned by the various breeders and breed associ­ ations and sold at auction at thia sale. It is believed that moat of those who come to this sale to buy will be farmers of Ionia and adjoining coun­ ties who are in the market for good pure bred males to improve their grade herds and flopks, and the pur­ pose of this sale ia to offer them an opportunity to get this kind of a male at an auction where prices are sure to be right. The movement will ultimately it is declared, result in great improvement to the grade herds of Ionia county farmers by the more general use of pure bred sires. The details of the sale are being arranged as rapidly as possible, Mr. Helm states, and nearly all of the consignments it is possible to han­ dle have been made. The services of Col. J. P. Hutton .of Lansing have been secured for the sale. FRED H. KNOX LAYS FOUNDA­ TION FOR WALNUT GROVE. ‘ Fred H. Knox has about 300 little walnut trees growing in his garden in Portland. They average one fuot high and next spring will be trans­ planted on his farm, southwest of the village. He does not propose setting them odt In rows, but will plant them promiscuously iu wood­ lots, that they may appear to have sprouted' there. In starting them in his garden he planted the nuts in rows, only a short distance apart. Then he had to fight the squirrels inhabiting the shade trees in the neighborhood, until the ground froze. They got away with several of the seed, but left enough so Mr. Knox now has a thrifty lot of little trees. On a 65- acre pasture lot in the vi­ cinity of Goodwin bridge Mr. Knox not long ago set out 700 spruce and white pine saplings. These also put in the ground in Irregular for­ mation. They have not thrived as it was believed they would, but may eventually take on more healthy, growth. It will be 20 years before these walnut trees reach a height where they will average well with other trees sprouting naturally. By that time Mr. Knox will be 75 and he will not be climbing the trees to shake down nuts, nor will he be roaming the woods a great deal, but he is do­ ing something for another genera­ tion. We believe this will be a com­ mon practice in these parts in a few years, where nearly ail of the origi­ nal forests have been cut down in the process of clearing lands for farms.—Portland Review . SAYS GOOD ROADS OFF1CKR. troit Auto Club Favors bevy. Lansing,* Sept. 3.—Willard K. Bryant of Kalamazoo, secretary of the Michigan Good Roads Associ­ ation. while in Lansing a few days ago commented on the road situation In the slate and the sentiment of Michigan people regarding taxation systems to raise funds for highway purposes. Mr. Bryant says Michigan is stronger than ever for the gasoline tax. His duties take him well over the state, and he says that senti­ ment indicates to him that, far from interest in the gasoline tax dying down with the adjournment of the legislature; it is stronger than ever. "I feel confident in asserting,” said Mr. Bryant, "that fully 70 per cent of the people of this state are for the > gasoline tax as the fairest and surest way of raising the money needed for our roads. "Opposition to the gasoline tax is coming only from one source— those high in authority in the De­ troit Automobile Association, and yet it is my belief that so far as the entire membership is concerned. It Is for the tax rather than against it. The managers of the association, con­ fess that they have never submitted the matter to the rank and file of the club. State's Roads Famous. "Michigan **ls fast spreading knowledge of its good roads. Es­ timates which I consider reliable and are borne out by my own observa­ tion. lead me to believe there are fully 200,000 visitors here In Mich­ igan each day, through the summer, tor a period of 10 weeks. A gaso­ line tax would reach al that num­ ber, and they would not object to it either, for they come from states where the gas tax is in’ force. "Michigan is bound to need much more money for its roads. I do not think a cent more of It should come from a general property tax. Gener­ al property is taxed now more than it ought to stand.” TWO 'YOUTHS ENGAGE IN LIQUOR TRADE. George Griffin, former butcher of Sunfield, and Everett Fuller, giving his address as Lansing, are in the county jail this morning awaiting an opportunity to secure bonds in the sum of |l,000 to insure their ap­ pearance at the next term of court. According to the officials of the sher­ iff’s force, the young men conceived the bright Idea there was a bundle of coin in buying "moonshine” in wholesale quantities and retailing the stuff among the parched of the land. They were picked up at Port­ land Tuesday night, where they were doing a thriving business at a dollar and a half a pint, bottle and all. They have been bound over to the next term of court by Justice Nichol. The officers secured some five gallons of liquor and confiscated their car. They were charged with possession, trans­ portation and possession of intoxicat­ ing beverages.—Ionia County News. i National Gtfighani Week ( j g g| September 5 to 12 !

Nashville people have long real­ ized that they had one ot the best creameries in the state, but we think very few, even of the stock­ holders and patrons of the creamery, fully realized how progressive ‘the establishment has been. But it yras brought emphatically to their attention this week when the Nash­ ville creamery entry at the Mich­ igan state fair won second prize on a tub ot butter exhibited there, in a field of seventy competitors from the leading creameries of the state, and was but a slight fraction be­ hind the winner of the first prize. The Nashville creamery has ev­ ery' right to be proud ot its butter­ maker, Percy Penfold, who has ihus thoroughly demonstrated his abil­ ity to produce a high grade article of butter. Much praise, also, is due to the > patrons of the creamery for their proper care in the hand­ ling of their milk and cream, for no butter-maker can produce a good article of butter unless the patrons send him their cream in the best possible condition. Mr. Penfold himself carefully inspects the cream as it comes In and rigorously re­ jects any can which does not come up to the standard. Great credit is also due to C. W. Pennock^ the secretary and man­ ager of the plant. Mr. Pennock is a very thorough and careful ex­ ecutive, and the creamery associa­ tion is Indeed fortunate to have the services of two as thoroughly capa­ ble men as Mr. Pennock and Mr. Penfold to look after the affairs of the creamery. Ths creamery was started a few years ago as a' co-operative affair, in a very modest way and with a small but good equipment. The plant has been . so well managed, however, that it has grown steadily from year tw year. New buildings have been added to the plant, sev­ eral additions made to the build­ ings, first class and larger equip­ ment added as required until now the plant is the second largest co­ operative creamery plant in the state and Is a thoroughly wellequipped and managed plant. Nashville creamery butter is recognized In the markets as one of the best products manufactured in Michigan and it brings the top prices in the market, thus benefitting every patron of the creamery by bringing him fancy prices for his butler-fat. The Nashville creamery Is not only one of the most successful in the state, but it & a great factor in th® financial prosperity of Nash­ ville and the surrounding country, and snou'd receive evwy possible ei.’ouragement and all possible sup­ port from the people of the comwcrity.

EATON BROTHERS HAVE CORNER ON YOUTH RECORDS. Sunfield, Sept. 8.—Carl M. Palmer youngest veteran of the World war and one of the "Les Terribles" who attended the Red Arrow convention, claims the distinction of being the youngest gob who scrubbed decks during the late war. Mr. Palmer at the age of 12 enlisted in Company E., 126th infantry, and would have been with the regiment in France had it not been for his sister, who entered a protest a week before his division sailed for Europe. Her conii plaint was complied with and Carl | was sent home from Waco mivh । against his wishes. A month later Carl, overcome with war fever, join­ ed the navy. After the war Palmer returned to his native town and at the age of 16 was married and for a time was considered the youngest married man in Michigan. When he outgrew that honor he became the youngest fath­ er in the state at the age of 17. “Got the best of you older buddies," was Palmer’s comment as be introduced bls wife and baby boy to his former comrades during the reunion in Grand Rapids. Palmer’s brother, Paul, also of Sunfield, had the distinction of be­ ing the youngest postmaster in the state, having been assigned to the local postoffice at the age of 21 on his return from overseas where he saw active service with the 32nd di­ vision.—Grand Rapids Press.

RECKLESS At’TOISTH TERRIFY ENGINEERS. For 25 years Glen E. Duffy of Ter­ re Haute has been a railroad en­ gineer. He drives the locomotive on a crack limited train, it Is a task requiring quick hands, nerves of steel and an active brain. It's a man’s job. In the 25 yeafs Duffy has piloted an engine, through all possible weath­ er conditions and countless other trying tests, he never had an acci­ dent until a recent Sunday. On that day his traln^struck a motor and killed four persons; a little later it struck another and killed nine. He picked up the bodies of three chil­ dren from his locomotive. Duffy has a boy ot his own, 12 years old. "We get a doz?n scares a day,” the shaken engineer said. "Two weeks ago a fellow with a girl dash­ ed across In front of uh. We did­ n't miss him a yard. My fireman's face was ashen us he turned to me and whispered, ’We didn't hit him.' Sunday is our day of dread. I do not like to go out on my engine on Sunday. Every engineer feels the same way. But we go, even though we’ro sick or shaken from accidents. We know the road. We couldn't rest with someone else driving our engines." Duffy, the guardian of the lives of hundreds dally, a man as true as the steel his great machine rides, is plunged into tragedy which makes him heartsick. He was in no way to blame yet he is haunted by the catastrophe. He is a family man; his sympathies are profoundly stir­ red. He was vigilant, yet ute care and watchfulness availed nothing against the other man's carelessness. One cannot help being deeply affect­ ed by his story. "Sunday is our day of dread," he says. "Motorists ought to keep that thought In mind.” PROFFERED ASSISTANCE MISPLACED, CLAIMED. A certain highly respected and well known citizen of Mason was out riding with his family recently and, just at dusk observed an automobile parked at the road side and observ­ ed also that a woman was moving about the car apparently alone. Now this- good citizen is a member of the Kiwanis club and one of their slo­ gans is courtesy. Thinking per­ haps that the lady might be in need of assistance he stopped the car and walked back to the roadside auto and inquired if he could be of any help to the lady. “Well, now my friend." said the lady. "I hardly know wheth­ er you can or not. I was about to feed the baby and so far I have been able to do it alone, but if you think you can help, why I am willing to let you try." Scuiewhat chagrined and considerably nonplused the Mason man walked back to his own car and it was not without considerable ques­ tioning that his wife was able to learn the result of his proffered as­ sistance. It being too good a joke to keep, the good wife told a friend and then the story was loose.—Ing­ ham County News. Lots of bergainaVated in the New* Want Columa. BANK ROBRERM.

Clemens Id Michigan. It’s the county scat of Macomb county and has a court house ’neverythlng. We say that advisedly, too. Seymour Hartwell and 1 were there a co upla days last week, for the annual session of the Pythian grand, lodge, and Seymour and I found out quite a lot of things about Mt. Clemens. First place, it’s Michigan's greatest mineral baths town, and many thou­ sands of people from all over the world come there every year to take the baths, which are alleged to be very beneficial for rheumatism, blood and skin diseases, and a whole lot of at ceteras. The baths are not advertised so extensively for cleaning purposes. One can get well and thor­ oughly "cleaned" in Mt. Pleasant without taking a bath at all. And they do it "just as easy.” Yeah. There are many foreigners at Mt. Clemens. Some of them live there all the time, and some of them come there just once a year and leave their year's accumulations. was In. Both front tires had been relegated to oblivion, several spbkos had been splintered, and the steer­ ing gear was all on the blink, but the motor would still run, and that was something. So Tommy got the old bus squared around in the road and headed toward town and threw in the clutch. Away she went, but she wobbled toward the side of the road and Tommy had to stop her and twist the wheels back ln*o the track. That operation was repeated 9,783 times between his _ home and town, and she made more or less racket pounding along on those two "tire­ less" rims but just the same Engin­ eer Tommy brought the thing home under Ils own power, and that’s more than most "shovers” would have done with that kind of an out­ fit in like circumstances.

Yes, we were all there and every­ one went for a good time, and had it. Th* fore part of the evening was spent In visiting, music and a gener­ al good time. Several contests arranged by Mrs. Vane Wotrlng added much to the evening’s fun. Mrs. Clyde Browne and Irene Austin won prizes in la­ dles' cracker easing whistling con­ test, while Will Mater and Will Snore were a tie for the men. The tie was broken by Will Snore actually swal­ lowing an ali-day sucker In one mouth-full, and who was then given the privilege^pf eating an unpeeled raw potato. • Victor Gutchesa won first prize <n the marshmallow contest with Mrs. George Williams a close second. Lively games followed. One with unusual distinction in which the la­ dles were arranged, facing the men. Thb ladies were named the Chris­ tians and the men the.heathens, and as they stood facing each other the leader then said "Christians em­ brace the Heathen". Now you would naturally think under such circum­ stances where the Christian had the heathen so near at hand there would be one fond embrace, but not so, these Christians did not embrace the opportunity as miny do. Onlyone Christian seemed moved with pity and that was Sarah Austin who started to hold out he?* arms to James Cousins and then on a mo­ ment’s reflection must have decided James was not so bad after all and let him alone, so this game was a fizzle. In the course of events the bride and groom were showered with -a whole tubful of very useful and beautiful gifts, after which Doc. in behalf of his wife, expressed their thanks and appreciation. Speaking of showers, that’s the name, all right, only some parts are overdone. For example. Doc re­ ceived nine pitchers. No criticism, for who would not think of one, a*fter seeing Doc dope out so much medicine. In seeing all those pitch­ ers, Bill Mater said It reminded him of an old pitcher he had once seen whereupon Clyde Browne spoke up with tears in his voice, which sound­ ed like the loss of a cow or some­ thing worse and said. "Bill I re­ member that pitcher, too:" It was ■very touching.

Thrown from a train by the shock of a sudden stop, a lad of apparently about 18 was ground to death be­ neath the wheels of a Grand Trunk freight train near Bellevue Thurs•day.

Unde Noiley: Two who met accidentally at a bohemian par­ ty, where famous people were assem­ bled—and without any unnecessary in­ troduction—had the loveliest mysteri­ ous romance. You see, they didn't know a thing about each other; at the party everyone called her Nance, while he waa merely Jack. And they did not learn each other’s proper name until the night before their wedding. Then she discovered that he was a great writer, while she was a noted singer. “If nothing will satisfy the longing for bohemia—but bohemia, we will have to give you your desire. Stop In at the studio after your shopping tour with your aunt and DI take you over to the Teltow Gate.’" ' Noel Strange was proud of his young relative as he presented her to a pret­ ty young “scribbler,” to whom the really good food of the “Yellow Gate" appealed. “You will look after my niece.

When the Independent young scrib­ bler—as it happened—-was obliged also to hasten back to her office, Sidney de­ cided to linger at the small yellow ta­ ble and await—adventure. Her bright, eager, glancing eyes brought It promptly. A tall young man, who had been noting the pretty stranger from the op­ posite table, arose nnd came with no pretense, other than his wish to meet her, directly to Sidney’s side. “How do you do. Miss Bluebell Eyes?" he remarked as lie bent close to smile at her. And. waa not this the adventure' she was looking for? So, presently, with an assumption of coolness, she replied: "Oh, how do you do?—or, rather, what Is It that you do?—write or paint, or sing. “Paint," answered the young man. Think you could he persuaded to pose , for me some time. My springtime girl ’ requires Just such blue eyes as yours. Sidney caught her breath. Td love to I” site exclaimed. ‘ “All right" The artist’s tone was matter of fact. “Now, to seal the bargain and be­ come acquainted, may I take you to A matinee?" A little thrill crept down Sidney’s back—the daughter of Smathburg’s minister—at the theater with an un­ known man! But wrs not this tha mystery she courted? “I will go,” she agreed, faintly. “Have a good time with Miss Sella at the Teltow Gate’?" Uncle Noel ques­ tioned upon her return. Sidney blushed. “A wonderful time," she said, which was true. In part. Don Grenville, art­ ist, was like no man whom Sidney had known outside the pages of glorified romance. And she had promised an­ other meeting at the “Yellow Gate" the following afternoon, which was but the beginning of meetings occurring regularly thereafter. Long ago sne had recognized that love had come to her; also long ago—oh, a whole week ago— the young man hud confessed gravely, and earnestly, and wildly, his love for her. And wlptai this miraculous granting of her wish, Sidney Smith was disturbed and troubled. To have wished to laugh with bohemia was one thing; to find your future husband a member of that gay. changing throng, was another. Now, in her serious love, Sidney longed that be might be even of the order of home-town young men. So, at last, she was forced to admit this reason of her gloom.

Some people are more particular about clean money than a country newspaper man. We take any old second-h^nd money, no matter if it has a few million germs on it. And we pass it along to the next fellow in the same unsanitary condition, and up to the present date we have not had any of it refused, germs or no germs. Principal Leo Rockwell of the local high school, however, is more fastidious. He will have clean, sterilized money, or non 3 at all. Leo drew his monthly stipend from the secretary of the school board the other day, took his check to the bank and got the currency for it, packed the nasty stuff away in his purse with a shudder of horror, took it home and .slipped the purse under his pil­ low until morning. When he got up in the morning he clean forgot all about the dirty money and went away to school. During the morn­ ing his mind reverted to the absent purse and when he went home he went to his room to get it. B’gosh, It was gone, purse, money and all. In the mean time, the landlady had gathered up the linen from the beds and put it Into the family boiler, and Leo’s purse, which he had evidently slipped Into the pillow Instead of un­ der It, went into the boiler with it, and that filthy lucre got one good and sufficient sterilizing. And when Leo, after a frantic search for his purse, went to the landlady with his tale of woe, he found her a sympa­ thetic soul who immediately insti­ tuted a search and in the course of time dug out the pillow slip contain­ ing the purse from the bottom of tlje boiler. Then Leo took the money up to Greene’ the tailor, had It nicely pressed, and discovered that If one has money nicely folded and press­ ed he Invariably finds’t increases. So the money doubled In value'and In sanitary condition, and up to date he has no bill from the boarding house for extras on account of the sterilization of his funds.

Traffic on both tracks was blocked for several hours while the wreckage was being removed. In the empty car which was demolished, five yonng men were sleeping at the time and miracuously escaped without Injury.

There are a number of lads in Nashville who are getting mighty poor training if they are expected to make good in the affairs of life. It is evident that their parents care littie about what the lads do, si long as they keep away from home and don’t bother their parents at their work or pleasure, and through this indifference of their parents they are running wild. A striking sample ot the results of this kind ot up-bring­ ing may bo seen at the Catholic church, where dastardly acts of van­ dalism have been donn. Stone slabs which form the top of the railing at the front entrance have been broken Hoose, thrown down and shattered. Windows have been broken and oth­ er damage done. It will moan the expenditure of many dollars to rem­ edy the damage done. The boys who did at least a portion of the damage are known, but the chtirch people do not desire to have them arrested and punished as they prop­ erly should be. However, the parents of these boys should stop and think just what their neglect of their boys may mean for the future. Boys who do such things and are allowed to go unpunished are building on a poor foundation for up­ right and useful Ilves. The boys are not getting a fair show in life, and if Is the parents who are to blame. Parents who care so little for the conduct of their children ought to realize that they, the parents, will be largely to blame if their children turn criminal and make a wreck of their lives. It the parents of these lads who did the damage at the church car­ ed particularly to have their boys «row up to be good, useful and hap­ py citizens, they would insist on the boys repairing the damage they had done and doing everything they could to show a manly regret for their foolish and criminal act, CongrcsKinnfi Talks at Grange Meet­ ing in Allegan County. ’ Better times for farmers. This was the prediction of Con­ gressman John C. Ketcham, Hast­ ings, at the quarterly meeting of the five granges in southeastern Allegan county. The meeting was held on Thursday. “Agriculture is being given the best thought in the country,” he said. "All farm organizations are workirg together.for the first time. And they are obtaining wonderful re­ sults. “They are also working with in­ stead of against enterprises. They are making out constructive pro­ grams and getting behind them and putting them across. He also said the way out can he brought about by fake remedies. But these, he declared, never pay. Farmers, he admitted, are ready for radicalism, but he cautioned this never pays. Production must be satisfied but not overdone. Diversification and more efficient production will help. Legislation will do its. bit in hls opinion, legislation in regard to bet­ ter marketing, to keep taxes from being saddled on farmers and other laws which can be made ot benefit. Another big aid, Ketcham said was In organized co-operative effort, not for the purpose of fighting other jleople, but to act as a voice for the farmer and to lessen the spread be­ tween producer and consumer. The meeting was well attended.— Allegan News.

Four wagle litters of pigs, all born in Michigan only last springhave reached in six months the oarprialng total weight of a ton, and have thus qualified for top honors in the Michigan Ton Litter Club, start­ ed last spring and supervised by ex­ tension men from the animal hus­ bandry department at the Michigan Agricultural College. . These four are the first to reach th< 3,060 pound goai set by the club, but others are expected to reach the required total before the contest closes the middle of November. Lit­ ters in the contest were farrowed last spring, and have been weighed and cheeked under direction of Col­ lege specialists In charge of the con­ test. Three different breeds and one "crossbred" lot are represented in the four litters already checked In. Nine Poland China pigs In one litter weighed In at a total of 2,060 lbs. Ten Duroc Jerseys totaled 3,341 pounds; eleven Chester Whites reached 2.F78; while a litter of twelve Poland China and Duroc Jer­ sey crossbreds top the contest so far with a total litter weight of 2.636 pounds. This gives the pigs in these litters an average weight of above 220 pounds each. “It is not hard", says V. A. Free­ man of the M. A. C. animal staff, manager of the Ton Litter Contest, “to raise a few pigs which will weigh 220 pounds at six months of age, but It takes good breeding, feeding and management to have one sow ral^e nine or more pigs, and have all of them gain fast enough so that they average above 220 pounds at that age." proved.

On the 15th of this month, Firestone Tires set two new dirt track records at Syracuse when Tommy Milton slid around four turns at every mile and covered the 100 miles in 75 min­ utes, 33 hundredths seconds. He also established a new world’s record for one mile by covering it in 42 and 28 hun­ dredths seconds. The next four cars to finish were also equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords.

FEIGHNER, PUBLISHER Member Michigan Press Association. National Editorial Association. Entered at the post office at NashvUIk Michigan, for transportation through the malls as second-class the organization known aa the "Ku Klux Klan." Many a movement in the past has swept the people of the country off its feet for the time be­ ing, like the greenback erase and the Jree silver movement, but we can usually depend upon the people of the United States to get beck to nor­ mal on any given proposition in s fairly reasonable length of time. The citizenship of the United States Is on the whole safe and sane. No good cause has ever suffered a serious setback. No oad cause has ever had more than a limited career. Given time to Investigate thorough­ ly and ponder over any tangible problem and it will invarlabfy be settled rightly. The common sense of the American people is proverbial end .the patriotism of the great mass of our people is basic and genuine.. The K. K. K. stands for many good things. It is possible, too, that it stands for some things that are not •o good. There are unquestionably some things about it which appeal to jnany good citizens. The mysterious •midnight meetings in which all are shrouded In the hood and gown, the burning of tbe “Fiery Cross," all have a certain appeal to some minds, and all have a tendency to create a desire in the minds of those people to "get Inside and look out." Candidly, our own opinion Is that the gathering en masse in disguise is as distinctly un-American as any of the things which the Klan essays to do away with. We believe that the day Is coming, and the sooner the better, when every normal child In the United States shall be compelled to attend the pub­ lic school, (hat great bulwark of good American citizenship, until he or she shall have attained the age of 16. After that time, If the parent or guardian desires to send the youngster to b Methodist school, a Baptist school, a Catholic school or any other religious school, all well and good. We have Jews who are good citi­ zens of the United States. We have Catholics who are good citizens. We have Greeks who are good citizens. We have negroes who are good citi­ zens. We doubt the claim of the Klan speakers that 73 per cent of the elective and appointive officers of our country are Catholics. We question some of the other state­ ments made by the Klan speakers. On the other hand, we agree with many of the things they say and we stand for many of the things the Klan stands for. But we question the Klan meth­ ods. We may be wrong and the Klan may be right. Time will tell. But If we are going tj fight anybody or any proposition, wo want to do It.In the open. God’s clear light is good enough for good deeds. If the Klan Is clean In every way. and honest and sincere, let it discard Its musk ad make Its fight In the open light of the day. If it’s cause is right and Just, It will win. Chuck the mask and gown Into the discard. It is a relic of the dark ages. NATIONAL HIGHWAYS. The bigger the body, the slower the movement.

She took all the trouble in the world to hatch those eggs. And when, nearly two weeks later, nine fluffy little chickens emerged, she felt that triumph was at hand.

A young' man ran for the legisla­ ture of Illinois, and was badly swamped. He next entered business, failed, aud spent seventeen years of his life paying up the debts of a worthless partner. He was -in love with a beautiful youflg woman to whom he became engaged—.then she died. Entering politics again, -he ran for Congress, and was badly defeated. He then tried to get an appointment to the United States land office, but failed. He became a candidate for the United States senate, and was badly defeated. Then he became a candidate for the vice-presidency and was once more defeated. One failure after another—bad failures—great setbacks. Then he became one of the greatest men of America—Abraham Lincoln. Who says. “Oh, what’s the use?” SUBSTITUTES FOR COAL. Newspaper dispatches from all parts of the country, show increas­ ing use of fuel oil tn homes, apart­ ment houses, factories and public buildings, instead of coal. For several years the public has been subjected to a periodical coal strike with resulting hardships from lack of fuel and unreasonable prices. The public Interest In the coal in­ dustry has apparently been lost sight of by both the operators and the miners. The day when lack of coal can cripple a whole nation is drawing to a close. The public Is sick and tired of the annual outrage. Electricity, fuel oil and gas are the coming substitutes for coal in the average home and factory. Public utility plants operated by coal, will use oil or operate their own mine* to the great advantage of the public. Coal mining will get the same les­ son that is eventually meted out to any industry that In Ita operation loses sight of the public interest. A substitute that gives better service will take Its place. „ Danger. Women, If you live thirty-five years you have In a sense pasartMhe danger mark.

The Tamblyn Plate By CLARISSA MACKIE <©kr McClnra Nawapapcr Syndicala.) “I hate the thing." cried Jgan, mean­ ing the Tambiyu plate; “to think that a miserable piece of Wedgwood should cause so much unhappiness I" Rod Tamblyn nedded. “Our ances­ tors seemed to enjoy au endless feud over its possession—why. Jean, do you realize that your Aunt Robin a has not spoken a word to my mother for thirty years?" , “Poor dears," murmured Jean; “that began long before we were born,. In those days they just wrangled over the possession of the plate. I don’t believe any of them really cared very much for it, but one word led to another—” “And each word bitterer than the IgsL I wonder how It fiUpteiP” K*} lightly touched 11 tendril of Jean’s soft black hair. “I know—Aunt Robina told me one day; your grandmother and mine were the dearest friends and when they were to be married, they decided to have a double wedding. Grandmother and her family journeyed to the Tamblyn place In Maryland, and the festivities . began. Wedding gifts poured in for both brides, and among them was the Wedgwood plate. The wrapping paper and box bad been destroyed and there was nogevidence of a card, so that it could not be determined to whom It belonged, nor who was the giver." “Why didn’t they toss a coin?" demanded Bod. “They quarreled politely after tbe honeymoons were over, and so many unkind things were said tliat Mrs. Tamblyn determined to keep the plate In the stern belief that It was Intended for her—and my dear granny felt so resentful that at last they drew lots for It, and—your grandmother got the plate. Their beautiful friendship was broken and the feud was on—” ehe sighed. * “And has continued for nearly fifty years. It has risen like a wall between us and happiness. I want to marry you, Jean, plate or no plate, that Is. if you dare trust your precious pelf to the scion of a foolish family such as mlneT* Jean giggled. “My own family Is and has been perfectly Idiotic about It, dear. Why, Aunt Robina. who reared me from a child, said you were 'quite Impossible.’ Fancy!" • “Hum!” scowlid Rod. ‘and motber called you That Lanning girt.’” “What can we do?? “Put a stop to It." “How?" “Bust up the plate!" "Ooh! And have Aunt Robina put up her glasses and say coldly. ‘So he has broken our plate 1’ No, don’t do that, Roddy.” "You suggest something.” Jean wrinkled her pretty brows and concentrated. Rod found it very fas­ cinating to watch her and he reddened •as she suddenly shot a look at him from mirthful eyes. “Do you know my cousin, Mrs. Adah Willard r “Yes—she belongs to a branch of the family that mother visits," he grinned. "She loves me. She would do any­ thing for me," whispered Jean dream­ ily. "So would I," murmured Rod In her ear. “Do you dare?" she challenged, whis­ pering a few words In his ear. For an­ swer he took her in his arms. Mrs. Henry Tamblyn and Miss py»dng Ua<j oftco ’iTH^d’s home. Their pSetlngs were a matter of comment the country around—frigid bow on the part of Mra. Tamblyn—a faint, icy smile and a slight Inclination from Miss Robina. The young people were not supposed to know one another. One winter afternoon they were both taking tea with Mrs. Willard; the rector had dropped In and they were j talking about a game of bridge, when । Jean Lanning came running in, rosy with cold, her dark eyes deeper 'and darker with a hidden fear. There was no hat on her head, but a warm furry I cloak covered her dress. ■ Mrs. Willard hugged her young kinswoman, and kissed her tenderly. , Miss Robina said, "Why, child I" In mild reproof, and when Jean dropped a graceful courtesy to Mra. Tamblyn ' and the rector, the former nodded not unkindly, and the rector beamed and , twinkled. "Take off your coat, Jean," said j Mrs. Willard, and the rector received the garment and put It In the hall. Jean was standing, all in white, a dainty, sweet young thing at which they all .looked with yearning eyes. The rector wandered over to tbe win­ dow and picked up a prayerbook from the table. Suddenly Rodney Tamblyn appeared from somewhere, laid a flat parcel in his mother's lap, whispered a word to her and Joined Jean In front of tbe clergyman. Just then thu minister asked: "Who givetb tills woman—" the older tRnnen were too astonished to notice, but Adah Willard stepped forward and laid Jean's hand In Rod's firm, brown one. When It was ail over. Miss Robina gasped brokenly, "Jean how cotfld names may ba smarter than old names twunded mighty good to me. ... I can’t forget Sarepty, nor tbe old-time Mary Ann.—Jehosaphat.

Miss Robina arose and glanced at Jean's frightened, pleading roseleaf face. “Adah Willard, this is too much!" she frowned. "They love each other," said Mrs Willard In her gentle voice. “You—know—er—the feeling,’’ trem­ bled Miss Robina’s voice. Rod clung tightly to Jean's band and led her to his mother. "This is my wife, mother—we have done a startling thing, I know, and It's a poor sort of wedding for Jean—no wedding presents or anything that glrislove. Will you give us a wedding gift?" “Of course, my son," she said with dignity. "I will not fall—even though—” she stopped abruptly to bide her emotion. “The gift is in your hands—unwrap It, pleast—you see? That is all we want." They all stared nt the round, flat object in Mrs. Tamblyn's shaking hands. The Tamblyn plate l "It 18 yours, dear/* sha said, giving it to Jean, wE3 drying softly. Miss Robina’s face was work­ ing !□' a remarkable manner. "Thank you. mother, and now," Rod smiled boyishly at the older woman, “now that the Tamblyn plate belongs to both families—half aud half, why cannot the family feud be drowned in a friendly cup of tea? Jean and I want to catch the 9 :36 for the South." From nowhere in particular Mrs. Willard produced a small wedding cake which Just fitted the Wedgwood plate, and the wedding ended in a buzz of friendly talk and laughter, and tear­ ful farewells as the happy pair drove off in Rod's big car. “May I give you a lift home?” asked Miss Robina of Mrs. Tamblyn. "Thank you, my dear, and I will stop and get the book you spoke about," and the two elderly ladies rustled xaway, after gracious good nights to Mrs. W'illard and Mr. Bunny. The plate was washed and brought in for Mr. Bunny’s inspection. He examined it minutely. “Why," he exclaimed, “this Is not genuine.” “I have always known that," smiled Mrs. Willard wisely. "The only gen­ uine thing about the'whole matter Is the love of Jean and Rod." Great minds are the lighthouses of humanity. Most of us talk on principle, but act on Interest.

SMILE AT THESE RATS WORLD’S WORST PESTS Dam-ge Done by Rodents, In the United States Alone, Amounts to $200,000,000 a Year. It Is a known fact that rats infest almost the entire world, affecting a larger percentage of the population than any other pest in existence. Rats carry on unceasingly their work of destruction, of transmitting disease and of inspiring dread where they are present or threaten the invasion ot the home. Damage by rats to produce and prop­ erty In the United States amounts to about $200,000,000 annually. The In­ jury to farm products starts usually when the seed is first planted and con­ tinues tlirough tiie growing season and harvest, In the wholesale and retail markets and often in the home. Such a vast loss occasioned through ths ravages of these rodents must necessarily affect the ultimate price of foodstuffs that every one shares with them, whether they harbor rats on the premises or not. I Such an enormous and unnecessary lose Is really a crime that may. In many cases, be traced directly to neg­ lect.

Thus a favorite degcri, .Ion of a lenq^ Is that It Is “like heaven in its interior. while Re (the. sun god) rises within It.” The fancy-work that most girls like best Is the weaving of romances.

Five years ago this month more than 400,000 United States soldiers began the drive on the Argonne. Seventeen thousand were killed, many wounded, in fighting that stretch along a forty-mile front. Soon after that the war wm over. Five years ago, and the soldiers, to whom excited and frightened big pocketbooks promised the moon and stars, have not yet received a penny f pitifully .smalt [bonus that represents the dwindling down of all the gratitude. There's a plan to simplify, the coal problem. Railroads won't like it— no more coal to carry. Middlemen will detest It. The Idea Is to change the coal into electric current at the mine. Electricity carries itself over the wires, with no bumping of freight cars, no flat wheels, no loading and unloading. Instead of buying coal, changing It into power and heat five hundred or a thousand miles from the mine, skilled labor at the mines would change coal into electricity to be used tor heat, light, power, whereever wanted. That will come in time. . It ought to come now. Thanks to Mr. Eastman, of Roch­ ester, and the wide, wide world, this country sees efficient and thorough development of musical talent. To help a nation In music is to help it Intellectually. Music and in­ tellect are sisters. Music arouse® the brain, refreshes and stimulates it, as nothing else can do. Music is the only stimulant that has no "next day" of let down and reaction. Mr. Eastman's school of music in the University of Rochester brings to the city musicians of the world, and provides musical genius with a magnifleert setting in a beautiful opera house, given to the city by MY. Eastman and paying financial profit to no one. Young people from all over the .United States win scholarships that give them free teaching and >1,000 a year for living expenses. Thus, one man's success finds ex­ pression in a way that benefits an en­ tire nation. The Rev. Arthur Wilde. Swedenborgian. says the Garden of Eden was a state of mind. So Is‘every­ thing else, including happiness and misery. Epictetus, deformed, and a slave, was happy. Croesus, rolling in gold, miserable, worried. Noth­ ing is real. All wealth, gold, dia­ monds, the sun and stars, our own bodies, represent nothing more solid than electrons at^d orotons, made of negative and positive electricity, locked up in atoms that vary in con­ struction. according to the element composed. The elements are interchangeable. Matter has no existence, mind and Its states are the only real things, the real universe. There is no big, jno little, no beginning, no end. In fact, it's all quite confusing. NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1923 ONLY THREE AUTO A(VIDENTS THE PAST WEEK IN NASH­ VILLE. LUCKILY NO* BODY MUCH HURT.

Three in a row is the way auto­ mobile accidents have happened near Nashville the past week, and that no one was seriously injured Is a won­ der. Four cars were more or less damaged, but neither the doctors nor the undertakers have profited by the series. The first one happened Thursday afternoon at Clever’s corners, south of town, near the new school house. Glenn White, who works on the east section out of Nashville, was coming into town on Mr-79, from the west, and tried to negotiate the turn at top high a rate of speed, so he failed ana his car bumped into a big stump at the east side of the road. They won’t need to dynamite that stump. White tore it out by the roots. But his Maxwell stopped right there and saved the school house from destruc­ tion, while all the damage to the car was a smashed wheel and a few oth­ er scars of battle. The car did not turn over and nobody was hurt. Frank C. Spaulding, a Battle Creek undertaker, made a bad turn at Knoll's corners early Saturday morning and went out of the road, crashing into a telephone pole and badly wrecking the front end of his ambulance. Mr. Spaulding and his wife were returning home from a trip to Lake Odessa and had been directed through Nashville with In­ structions that this particular cor­ ner would be Illuminated with a street light so they could not miss it. They reached the corner after the street lights had been turned off. however, and did not notice the turn In time to make it safely at the speed they were traveling. In the crash Mrs. Spaulding was thrown Into the windshield and slightly cut about the face, and the big machine was badly damaged, with broken fenders, rad­ iator.- lamps, and bent frame. The car was pulled back Into the road with some difficulty, and after Mrs. Spaulding's Injuries had been patch­ ed up. Earl VanAlstine towed them home with his truck. Monday morning Mrs. Mildred Mater was driving out to her school in the Felghner district, north and west of town. As she neared Price’s corners she saw a efir coining from the west, so she stopped, as she did not want to meet the car at the cor­ ner. The other car. driven by Mrs.. Herbert Wilcox of Barryville, made the turn south, but the driver was unable to get over to the west side of the road quickly enough and the two cars came together head-on. Mrs. Mater's car has a smashed hub. a broken radius rod and other dam­ ages. Mrs. Wilcox’s car suffered the loss of a fender and a few bruises, but fortunately none of the occupants of either car were injur­ ed. except that a little girl who was riding to school with Mrs. Mater had one knee somewhat bruised.

The meeting for Oct. 9 was called to order by the president, Mrs. Belle Everts. An extra long business session was held, owing tp the sum­ mer's accumulation of correspond­ ence and other business matters. After these had been disposed of. Mrs. Lillian Gibson took charge of the program. • The topic for the day was "Amer­ ican Citizenship.” Two piano duets "Melody of Love" and "Serenade D'Amour," were rendered by Mesdames Dora Nelson LaDore Irealways depend on to give ua some­ thing worth hearing. The club then sang "Annie Laurie" and "Michigan. My Mich­ igan."

"At Dawn” and "I Love You Truly,” by Mrs. Pauline Lykins, who so graciously gives of her tal­ ent for many of our gatherings, were highly enjoyed. She was accom­ panied by Mrs. Dora Nelson. A poem, "I'm an American," written by Rose Villar and given by Mrs. Nellie Brumm, and "America." sung by the club, was a fitting climax to the afternoon. Adjourned to meet October 23.

Nashville's team of speedy light­ weights brought home the scalps of Olivet High Friday night, projtdly dangling at their belts. The game opened with Nashville kicking off to Olivet, who-for a time found easy travelling through Nash­ ville's line for substantial gains. Finally Nashville solved the attack and Olivet was forced to^punt. On the first play Johnson made an end run for more than ten yards. Sprlngett duplicated this on the next play and then on a split-buck Johnson went through the line for a touch­ down, Sprague softly kicking a goal. Score Nashville 7-Olivet 0. Olivet received but was forced to punt almost immediately. John­ son made first down on an end run. On the next play the boys got the signals mixed and failed to gain, but managed to hold the ball. A for­ ward pass to" Townsend resulted in another touchdown, the quarter end­ ing Nashville 13-Ollvct 0. Again Olivet received and was soon forced to punt.

Olivet went through Nash­ ville's line for a touchdown and kicled goal.

Olivet kicked off to Nashville, who carried the ball do^n the field un­ til Johnson got away for another end run and another touchdown. Sprague failed at goal. Nashville kicked to Olivet, who were soon forced to punt, being unable to ad­ vance through Nashville’s line. Nashville mixed up straight football and trick plays and ended the third period with another touchdown. Score Nashville 31-Olivet 7. Olivet received but could not ad­ vance the ball and was forced to punt. Nashville failed to make the distance and the ball went ovei^ but Johnson picked a forward pass out of the air and carried it over tor an­ other touchdown, the game ending with the score standing Nashville 37 Olivet 7.

AU of us children took our troubles to Aunt Jane. If ever there was any family trouble dear ©id Aunt Jane poured oil upon the trou­ bled. Waters. Ro on* ever saw Aunt Jane angry. No on* ever knew her do or say an unkind thing. Dear Aunt Jane, with bar fondneas for animals! I remember when she bad ail us children visiting her that summer, bow suddenly abe decided that she would like a parrot for a pet. Of course everybody was eager to get ber one. We went to an animal shop near th* docks and bought an African gray perrot, a good talker. Aunt Jans said sl>* wanted a good talker. She kept the bird In her room and It was a real companion to her. Mary paid her a vlalt a little later-everybody used always to be visiting Aunt Jane—and came back with the dread­ ful newt What do you think? The parrot seemed to have been owned by a sail­ or, and It used—oh, the most dreadful language Aunt Jane was so upset, she had to get rid of It The best feature of this distressing affair was that Aunt Jane didn’t know what most of the words meant But she understood one of them—no, two. Both began with "d.” Well, there was no help for IL The parrot had to go. ft was simply cor­ rupting dear old Aunt Jane’s mind, and none of us could have permitted that. Mary got Aunt Jane another parrot at another animal shop, and the old parrot was sent away, with many tears. I don’t know where It went, but I think it was sold back to the original shop, and probably went eventually to another sailor with a taste for strong language. The new parrot war a beauty. Mary said-—one of the green kind with a yellow collay, and Aunt Jane was so pleased with It tRat she almost forgot her sorrow In the loss of tSe other 6ne. Roger and Dolly went to stay with Aunt Mary the following spring, and what do you think? The new parrot was even worse than ths old one. Aunt Jane was perfectly miserable about IL She had to keep it In the cellar, she said, where th* neighbors wouldn’t hear It. If you went near it it saluted you with the most hideous abuse. Polly said—but then, never mind about that It was pretty bad, and It bad Aunt Jane so terrorized that she was simply afraid to take it back to the shop, the way it shout­ ed In the street Roger covered It up and took It away and did something with it—I never asked him what; and as Aunt Jane was still crazy about parrots, and Roger got her another, a young one. positively guaranteed to have no knowledge of the English language. Roger was sure that everything would be all right then, and Aunt Jane thankee^him with tears in her eyes. Dear Aunt Jane! How sweet she was all through ber trouble* t I hadn’t been down to see 'Aunt Jane for months. I kept writing, suggesting a visit, but some of the other nephews and nieces were al ways staying there, and as her house was so small there was never any room for me. Aunt Jane saeined to spend all her time cooking for us boys and girls and entertaining us. At last, howecer, she had a free week, and 1 went to se* her. In the living room was the’new par­ rot The moment I entered It salut­ ed me with a flow of language that would positively hare done discredit to a bargee. "Aunt Jane" I cried In amazement Aunt Jane wrung ber hands. “Ob, my dear, stairs BeL... -----------— tie. Isn't it! I—I’m getting to know what some of the words mean, too! Oh. why should I be doomed to have such parrots?" Suddenly a light came to me. I grasped her firmly by the hand. "Aunt Jane," I cried, “you taught him that— all of them!" For a moment Aunt Jane Iqpked frightened, then a defiant look came op her face. “Well, what if I did, Elizabeth?” she demanded calmly. "Good gracious. Aunt Jane, it Isn’t like youl I never heard you say words like those!" "No, my dear," answered Aunt Jane cynically, "those are th* words I've always wanted to say when I've been cooking for the whole family all day long.

Arthur Longfleld, Pastor Warm Durable-Luxurious There’s a genuine satisfaction in making a bed when the coverings are large enough to tuck in all around. Generous size is only one of the superior features of Wearwell Blankets It is their warmth in comparison to their weight which home makers most enthu­ siastically commend. After weaving, the blankets go through a napping prqcess. This process, without in any way impair­ ing the strength of the fiber or loosen' the weave of the blanket, raises a th “lofty” nap on the blankets which gives them heat retaining qualities. You’ll be delighted with the attractive colorings and patterns shown in our new lines of Wearwell Blankets. Their prices are decidedly moderate. Evangelical Church Items.

The little runt did have an engaging smile; Lizzie bad to admit that as she looked at him. “Would I, wouldn't I?" she retorted. “Why—well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t, Mr. Smith.” She had to drop her head at once to hide the smile that came over Mr. Smith's face. It was a smile of happy simplicity—utter simplicity. “Well, I guess 1T1 have to be get­ ting back below to the finger-parlor, Amy," she said. “Sure, Mr. Smith, I’ll be ready at six o’clock, if that will suit you.” .

Amos Smith certainly looked queer, and yet—there was something about him ... he almost looked a gentleman. And all at once Amy found herself beginning to like Lizzie's escort. . “Treat him nice, Lizzie," she whis­ pered to her friend. 4*You bet," said Lizzie. “I’ll make him give me a swell time.” Amy noticed how carefully Mr. SmitJ held the door open for Lizzie. “Gee. I guess she’s been overlooking something," she said. She*was on duty late—very late that night. It was nearly half-past twelve when finally Mr. Smith and Lizzie ap­ peared. Very ardently he saw her to the desk—she bad a room in the hotel. He raised his hat and took bld leave. “My, what a little gentleman I" said Amy. “Well, dear, what aort of time did you have?" "Ob, middling," said Lizzie, looking down. “Did be take you to Rusterman'a?" “What, him? No, air, he took me a dairy lunchroom." Amy gasDed. “Well,.of all the mean sneaks!’' she exclaimed. "I wouldn’t have gone. And a show afterward?" “Oh, sure 1 Wa went to the movies.” “Say, how much do you reckon the evening cost him?"

Call them what you may, the com­ mon pike, grass pike, Great North­ ern pike or pickerel, but the one I particularly refer to la the specie* that is found.in practically every In­ land lake in the state and range* in size from 14 Inches upwards, his true name, the Great Northern Pike. Un­ like the grass pike, a relative, how­ ever, not exceedingly close, a spedmen that rarely attains a greater length than 14 inches, -the Great Northern Pike Is a game flak. He is the food fish of Michigan,-if he may be so called. Unprotected by man his nose to the end of his tail, fished for every day in the year; cursed by the man who loves the ban and trout; loved by the man who fiahes for food; in spite of it all, regard­ less of how our game laws classi­ fy him you must admit he Is a game fish. I believe that more pounds of Great Northern Pike are caught each year than all of the other game and food fish taken from onr inland lakes. He has been accused as a destroyer of game fish. It Is said he eats their spawn, their fingerlings and even the mature fish. Yet it - has been found that the lakes of Canada, fished very little by white man, have pike, bass and trout in abundance in their waters. Nature seems to take care of this. Ask the man who fishes for the Great Northern Pike if this fish should be given some protection and be called a game fish. Your answer will be a positive one. The pike is rather a solitary crea­ ture in his native environment'and it is only during the spawning reason and late spring that you see the male and -female together. They make no neet like the bass but deposit and fertilize the eggs wherever they may happen to drop. He may' have no brains but ho is tho quickest fish that swims our in­ land lakes. He has the habit of lying perfectly motionless in shallow water, resembling very much a piece of sunken wood but ct the first sign of approach, like a streak be de­ parts. Hook him and you have a fight from the time he strikes until he is in the boat, and sometimes ev­ en after that. The spring is the time the Great Northern Pike grows careless and may be seen with the breaking up of our ice in the lake seeking the shallow shore or marsh land where he falls an easy prey to the spear or the club, as the case may True, there are fishermen, splen­ did fellows, who never would allow the pike to hang from their strings, but there are as many more equally good fishermen, who would rather have him grace his table than the E.

Coal is coming in; crops are rolling out. To so handle this addi­ tional traffic that it may be carried smoothly and without inter­ ruption to the normal year-round flow of raw materials and finished products is a task which finds every employee of Michigan’s twentyfour railroads, keyed and ready. Our personnel is at its highest point of efficiency. Our rolling stock is in virtually 95% perfect repair condition. Our road beds are in better shape than at any time since the dis­ aster of Government operation. We have bought 620 miles of new rail this year. Two seasons of prosperity of Michigan have permitted us to invest this year in new locomotives, cars and other betterments the record breaking sum of *75,980,881.26. Despite restrictions such as handicap no other business, Michigan railroads are solving—not their problem —but the problem of transportation that naturally follows the industrial, social and economic expansion of a prosperous state. Do' you notice and experience this improvement in your trans­ portation? Tell us frankly and fully.

The fame of the Arbor aa a good nlace to eat is rapidly spreading and finally reached the ears of two west side business men. One suggested to the other that they take dinner together at the Arbor. At the close of a delightful meal, the one felt in hls pockets only to discover that he had but a few cop­ pers.

Neither of these gent'emen were known to Mrs. Barker and observing their extreme embarrassment she judged they were young men who were traveling with­ out funds and offered them the op­ portunity to work out their debt.

Claude Duane Brown was born February 27, 1921. at Battle Creek, Mich., and died October 27, 1928, at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. John Sylvester of Battle Creek, at the age of two years and eight months.

Mr. and Mrs. John Mc­ Intyre, of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. John'Brown of Tell City, Ind., also a number of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. All that loving hand and hearts could do was done for him, but to no avail, his life in this world was short, but he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

HIGH WAGES—GOOD TIMES. A REAL RADIOGRAM. TO HANG FOB AN IDEA. ABLE BRITISH STATESMEN. --- o---What makes the United Statea prosperous* Answer. High wages. Cytroen, the greatest French man­ ufacturer of automobiles, says every­ body in France ought to have his own automobile. The trouble is: “Lu America the workman, saving one day’s pay per weak, can buy an automobile with the money at the end of a year. In France it would take a French man'a. entire salary tor two years”. If you want a good crop, put water and fertilizer on the land. If you want a prosperous country, put good wages in the pockets of those that work. . It all comes back to the big people ten dollars for one. —o— If you are a radio enthusiast, and understand such things, you will be interested in the latest announce­ ment, A message, receiving Its on­ ly impulse on this side of the ocean, made the trip of 9,000 miles to War­ saw and back twenty times, a total distance of 360,000 miles.

Debs says prison didn’t frighten him. Right now he would “hang for an idea.” That's noble, one in a while, although you must first be sure that your idea Is sound. For one man hanged tor a good idea, ten thousand have been hanged for ideas thoroughly bad. —o— If you have a sound Idea, don’t hang for it. Publish It, repeal I* persuade others to accept ll.

He defied Frederick the Great and greater powers, and final­ ly died peacefully ' his bed. nearly eighty-five years old. rich in money, adored by the people that drew his carriage through the streets. ’ He showed the right way to deal with an idea. That was better than poor John Brown of Harper's Ferry, never living to see anything accomplished. It takes one kind of ability to “hang” for an Idea, and It takes a higher kind to convert or hang those that oppose the idea when it is right. —o— Bon ar Law lies in Westminster Abbey. American tourists fifty years from now will look at bis grave and ask: "Who in heaven’s name was that?” as they pass on to the place where Pitt and his father. Chatham, lie in the same grave. Bonar Law's family is pleased. That's what the burial was for. — ° —They dug up Cromwell and stuck his head on a spear for every one to laugh at and let it gradually go to pieces. They dug up and scattered the dust of Voltaire. But men of Chat kind, real men. don't need bur­ ial in Westmister Abbey. There wouldn’t be room in any building for names as big as theirs. —o— The Government -learns that tax­ es on sales of jewelry haven't been paid. Careful watch is being made, “also with regard to household furn­ iture, libraries and musical instru­ ments." Could you imagine anything more barbarous, more worthy of a Con­ go savage than putting a tax on the sale of household furniture, and es­ pecially on the sale of libraries and musical Instruments? Why not tax a child two cents ev­ ery time it says its'prayers?

For a majority of connections, a smaller distributing terminal box is used, accommodating ten or sixteen pairs of wires, each pair being as­ signed a pair of binding posts with which the cable wires are direcUy connected. The equipment in the cellar is in­ stalled as a protection against light­ ning or stray high voltage currents accidentally picked up from lighting or power circuits. Tne little box on the wall contains the bell and Its associated apparatus and the Induc­ tion coIL These tilings are all the subscriber sees. But back in tite central office and elsewhere in the telephone or­ ganization things have been going on in order that he might have telephone service. His line enters the central office building in tbe cable vault and runs thence to themain distributing Dime. To this point also run wires to the various “jacks,” or terminals of the subscribers’ lines, on the front of the switchboard. As each new subscriber is added, a Jack must be assigned to him and properly marked so that the operator may know his number and tl>e class of service he is entitled to, and his line must be made continuous by cross-connecting the two wires in the cable with the two running to his jack at the switchboard. Finally, a number of tests must be made to be certain that the instrument and line are working properly. All this has to do with the physical connection ot the new’ telephone with the system. But in order that it may function as an integral part of the system, hands unseen by the sub­ scriber must perform many other op­ erations. There are directory list­ ing* to attend to, for example, and proper data to be forwarded to the Information operator for her use pending the publication of the next issue of the directory. There are en­ tries to be made by tbe Commercial and Accounting Departments. From the time application for a new con­ nection is made every operating branch of the business has a hand in preparing the way for giving service. Twelve distinct operations in the Commercial, Credit and Plant De­ partments are necessary before the work order, or definite instructions for the connection, can be issued. Eight manifold copies of this order then begin their steady progress through various departments. Step by step they arc forwarded as each operation is completed, final­ ly finding their place in the files of the department concerned S'ilU Uicxq, These operations orc too numerous a too involved to describe In deThey are distributed among the various departments as followst Commercial, 121 Directory, 7; Plant, 18; Traffic, 29 and Revenue"* Accounting, 19—a total of eighty-five separate and distinct operations in­ volved in the connection of a jingle telephone. M With the exception of actually in­ stalling the instrument and the other equipment on the subscriber’s prem­ ises, all of these operations are necessary every time a new flsub- plicant insists that "tliere is a te phone in the house—oil you’ve got do is to send a man up to connect fl • fur the fuiiisfartlon of bearing a hu­ “Cun't you get some other kind of ] num sound.

UP BY SEA English Town of Considerable Im­ portance Completely Wiped Out by the -Ocean’s Power. Dun wk-b was one of the great cities of the early ages of England. The Romans settled there, and to Saxon times It rose to eminence, so that it actually became the seat of a bishop­ ric. Kings were pleased to grant land and charters to It. and it even bad a royal palace. It enjoyed the privilege of coining its own money. Within its walls were no fewer titan 52 churches and religious houses, and as a port It boasted great ships and small ships. Its destruction came, not from com­ mercial rivalry, but from the all-de­ vouring sea. The low cliffs of loam and sand on which the famous city stood were bit by bit worn down by | the waves. Tbe chronicles of Edward Il’s reign show that 400 houses were swept away In a1 single year.

You may be brave enough to stand backache or headache or dizziness. But, if. in addition urination is dis­ ordered, look out! If you don't try to fix your sick kidneys, you may fall into the clutches of dangerous disease before you know it. But, if you live more carefully and help your kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills, you can stop the pains you have and avoid future danger as well. Don’t experiment—use the remedy Nash-; vl’Ie people are publicly endorsing. Read this case: William H. Shupp, Main St.. Nash­ ville, says: "I had attacks of lame­ ness in my hips and severe pains across the small of my back, when 1 lifted or strained my back in any way. I found Doan’s Kidney Pills to be the best medicine I could take for that trouble and-a few always cured me of the attacks. I certain­ ly am glad to endorse Doan’s.” Price' 60c. at all dealers.

He was tall and broad and pouched in front, Seemed to wear a broad smile for a regular stunt. "Come right on in, take a chair," he said; As he lit his pipe and scratched his head. Gee! I began to feel right at home with him. He reminded me so much of brother j Jim. Too lazy to work and too honest to steal. And that’s the way I began to feel. "Your name is Jones—you bought out Billy Brown, Four and a half miles southwest of town; And the rural route goes by your door." I said "yes", but I wasn’t sure. "Here’s our paper”, as he brushed off some files, "Gives you all tbe news without any lies: Tells where to get your groceries and sell your wheat, Without any danger of getting beat.” “That’s just what I came for" I said. As I gave him a bill and nodded my head— To get such a paper all my life I've tried, Now I’ve got what I want, unless Fike lied. —Contributed. An Invitation.

ELEVATOR The Law and the Railroads Railroad recovery in Michigan—the “Better Service you hear about and enjoy—is being provided you despite tbe severe handi- cap* imposed by a multitude of special laws. Such laws have established certain governmental bodies entirely separate and without co-ordination. These bodies fix our rates foe carrying freight and passengers—pass judgment on all of our security issues and other financing—specify the working hours of our employes and the wages we must pay them—limit our profits, when there ARE profits, to a small and definite maximum have full jurisdiction over our tax assessments—restrict rigidly our methods of competition—hedge about, with a multitude of re­ strictions, every department of our operations. Michigan’s 24 steam railroads honestly try to obey every one of these laws. We do not even ask for a lightening of this load. But we do maintain that this present burden should NOT be INCREASED. We are furnishing you today the best transportation you have ever had. With conditions unchanged, we can see our way clear to still further improving our service. Give us a square deal — an honest chance. And let this Association know you consider this a reasonable request. Michigan Railroad Association Railway ffwefcsags IMg, Ddfdt, MMl EAST CASTLETON.

Farmers & Merchants Bank Teach Your'Dalian to Have Mort Cents" THE HIUE NEWS LEST W. FEIGHNER, PUBLISHER Member Michigan Preu Association. National Editorial Association. Entered at the post office at NashvUlU, Michigan* for transportation through tho mails as second-class matter EDITORIAL “WHAT THE FARMERS WOULD IM) TO DETROIT." Under the above caption the De­ troit Saturday Night of November 17 unbosoms itself of a diatribe against the farmers of Michigan of which it would bo heartily ashamed if it knew actual conditions as they exist today In rural Michigan as compared with urban Michigan. Detroit Saturday Night is one of the most readable newspapers of Michigan. It is ably edited and we believe usually tries to be fair, but it has certainly not carefully posted Itself In this mat­ ter. The editorial is inspired by Governor Groesbeck's recent chapge of front on the much-discussed gaso­ line tax, and in order that readers of The News may fully understand the attitude of Saturday Night, with out possibility of misunderstanding It, we reproduce the article in full: just policy if equitably executed. But to relieve real estate of all Its bur­ dens, and transfer those burdens to other classes of property' is some­ thing else. "The Michigan Grange, wants a state income tax that ex­ empts every income under >4,039. In­ come* of >4,000 and over are most frequently located in cities, and es­ pecially in large cities. "The corporation tax, which orig­ inated as an emergency tax only two years ago, is already a fixture on the statute books. Corporation taxes are collected in the cities,' and es­ pecially In the larger cities. A gasoline tax will produce most of the revenue from the cities, and about half of It from one city. A two cent gasoline tax In 1923 can easily become a three cent tax, or a four cent tax in 192S. A reduced license fee, such as Governor Groes­ beck proposes in 1921, can become an increased license fee in 1925. The sum of the situation is that the farm statesmen who dominate Michigan's legislature are striving to pass the buck to Industrial and ur­ ban taxpayers, and the maximum tax­ ation of the automobile is a cardinal principle of their program. A leg­ islature that could ignore the plain mandate of the constitution for a re­ apportionment that would give the city of Detroit fair representation in both houses, is quite capable of giv­ ing the city of Detroit the same kind of a deal in matters of taxation. "The legislature will have an op­ portunity to show its attitude to­ ward Detroit |n the special session on reapportionment which Governor Groesbeck has called for December 4. If it continues to deny Detroit its constitutional rights Detroit find a way to fight back."

WOTRING’S I WANT COLUMN Life From'The Side Lines Diamonds of IHalopo By Fike Justice J. E. Lake seems to be trying to live up to his official title aa a "Justice of the Peace,” for since his inauguration until last week be has not had a trial in his court. AH his cases, except game violations and others, in which the offender has plead guilty and taken his sentence, have been peacefully settled, usual­ ly by His Honor quietly talking the parties into getting together and set­ tling their differences out -of court, a notable record. This glorious rec­ ord was shattered, however, Friday in the case of Solomon vs. Varney. It seems Solomon bought the Von Furnlss farm, and circumstances made it necessary for him to move on. Varney had moved in the house, in order that he might keep bis eye on things for Vic Furnisa and Seroi Powers, who had a lot of stock pas­ turing on the farm. Varney didn’t want to move and Solomon started ouster proceedings. It was up to Vic and Seroi to protect Varney in the case, but they didn't want to go to any extra expense, so instead of hiring a lawyer they handled Var­ ney's side of the case between them. Vic claims Seroi was the lawyer and Seroi claims Vic was the lawyer, but as near as we can find out, neither of them is much of a lawyer, for they lost the case. And that’s that. Isn't there an old saying that a man who is his own lawyer has a fool tor a client? , Something like that, anyway. However. Vic and Seroi are still on speaking terms, even If Varney did have to move. ®V Vidor Romjeau chxkkh»oo«k>oo«khx> I I I I I I I I QTtuo mon fight a do»perate, hand-to-hand battle in the vildemeaa.

There was a moment's silence as Brooks studied the landscape. “Why— er—there seems to be a number of cowboys dragging an animal or—er— something.'* Temptation came to Rosalie and. to her shame, was not resisted.

Especially let us see that all the little folks are warmer and comfortably clad and that they have some of the Joys of Christmastide. Remember who it was that said "Inasmuch as you did It unto one of these,” and let us tee that all of God's little ones have bright and happy faces during the holiday season. It is but little to do. and so easi­ ly done, and it will help so much toward our own enjoy­ ment of the holiday times. Let us look about us. NASHVILLE LODGES N. A. G. C.

EXPECTS TO MAKE GOOD RECORD FOR THE SEASON. THIS WEEK NUMBER 20 NA8HVILLE STORES * MAKE FINE SHOWING. Not within our memory have the merchants of Naahvllle dis­ played so large and attractive lines of holiday goods as they are showing this year. In nearly every store special dis­ plays greet one immediately up­ on entering, and there are many attractive window displays. The newest novelties are being shown along with the old relia­ ble staple goods, and there seems to be more of a Christ­ mas spirit In the air than for many years past. The lines embrace full and- complete stocks of all seasonable goods and the buyer who can not find what he wants In the Nashville stores, and at a fair price, will be hard Indeed to suit. It will pay, too, to get out and do your shopping early, while the various displays are at their best and the assortments unbroken, and thus, avoid the grand rush of the last few days. WOULDN'T-PLEAD GUH/TY 80 GOT SOAKED PLENTY. Glen Darrow and Chas. Jakubow­ ski of Wayland were arrested No­ vember 17 by Game Wardens Millenbacker and Bera, charged with bunting ducks on Gun lake after sundown. They denied their guilt and were brought to trial before a Jury in Justice Selden's court at Hastings Saturday morning. The jury found them both guilty and the Judge told them they could stick 144.20 each Into the county funds or go to jail for 60 days. They stu­ died and wriggled and studied some more, but finally decided that they didn't want to spend the Christmas holidays as guests of Sheriff Parker, so* they laid down the currency. They will also have to purchase new ar­ tillery before they go hunting again, as their guns were confiscated and turned over to the state arsenal. NO LICENSE PLATES TILL LEGISLATURE ACTS Doming of New License* Held Up Pending Legislative Action on Gnsoline Tax. Secretary of State DeLand has no­ tified all his deputies around the state to under no circumstances sell 1924 licenses until after the special session of the legislature, which convened Tuesday noon. This ac­ tion Is taken on acount of the cer­ tainty that legislation will be enacted at this special session which will radically affect the prices of the new licenses for 1924. There is little doubt of the pas­ sage of some kind of a gasoline tax law, and with it will undoubtedly al­ so be' enacted some changes In the present license rates on cars and trucks. Under the circumstances, all we fool drivers can do Is to sit on our license money and await the result of the expected legislation. It will probably all be settled before the close of the year, so that If we have our money and our applications ready we can all make a grand rush under the wire and come up for the first of the year with our new li­ cense plates, all ready for business. In the mean time, you might be looking up your certificate of owner­ ship of your car, for that old green­ back certificate has to accompany the application for a license, or you won’t get It. Missionary Meeting. The M. E. Woman's Missionary society will meet Friday afternoon at 2.30 with Mrs. Margery Buxton. This is the last quarterly meeting of the year, so a large attendance iSs desired. x All will be interested in the map study.

The children, ranging from six to eight, were rather shy until they set eyes on all the goodies on the table; then they were all excitement. Thelma winked at Hubert, and then looked at her dad. He was busy keeping meat enough cut up for Tony, supplying his qqmerou* other demands, and keeping qp with hl* many questions.

A few days ago he was called up­ on by two men representing a life Insurance company, and the minute he learned their business he went straight up, higher than some of the drives they pull at the Kent Country club. “Nothing doing; don’t want any life insurance." said this attorney. “Hey, wait a minute," said one of the visitors. "Maybe we don't want to insure you, maybe we’re bere to give you some money." “Me? I should remark that you are not. You can’t sell me any lite insurance. Don’t want any." "Weil, just supposing we want to hand you a bunch ot cash." “Yeah, but you don’t." “Well, but we do." "D’ye mean to tell me I’ve got money coming from an insurance company?" “Sure. Do you remember taking out an endowment policy about 20 years ago?" "Seems to me 1 do." "Do you remember carrying it along awhile and then dropping it?” "Yea” "Well, did you know that you have been insured for 81.000 under tffti policy for the last ten years?" "Nope, didn't know that." "Well, ydu havb been, and now the policy has matured and after taking out what the company has coming you get 8490. Here's the check." The attorney gasped as he took the btt of paper. Then he recovered. ’’Gee, wish I'd taken out ten thou­ sand,” he gasped. Moral: ‘Find out what the life Insurance agent wants before you heave him through the transom.— Grand Rapids Chronicle.

Ivan Hudlemyer, 31, a farmer liv­ ing in the lower part of Brookfield township, who served as a juror in the Dolson Insurance case in the cir­ cuit court last week, completing his jury duty Tuesday noon, was fatally burned Thursday morning at his Brookfield home. Ho was rushed to Albion hospital, but died the next morning. Penned inside of his garage, with his automobile in flames after he had cranked it, Hudlemyer had most of his clothes burned from his body. The garage was such a narrow af­ fair that Hudlemyer had no chance of getting out without climbing over or under the car. When he cranked it the front end of the machine burst into flames, whether from the ex­ haust or from faulty wiring will per­ haps never be known. He finally managed to extricate himself from the garage, his clothing ablaze, and made a dash for the house. Members ot the family at­ tempted to put out the flames with blankets, but did not succeed, and the frenzied man ran to the \->rse tank, a considerable distance from the house and jumped in.

Taungs—one hundred miles from no­ where—sizzled at eight o'clock In the morning, though It had shivered an hour before in the rarefied air of the desert. The little station on the long railroad line that runs from Ospe Town northward Into the heart of heathen­ dom looked forlorn indeed, set down in the middle of tbe scorching sands, coated, like a mangy dog, with patches of stubbly grass that would.net show green until the annual rains. Winton got down p-om the train, col­ lected his baggage, and watched the engine go snorting down to the water tank. He looked about him with the curiosity of one new to the life of Bechuanaland, which bad seemed com­ pounded, during the northward Jour­ ney, of ragged negroes, fanners with skinny oxen, heat, files, sand,- aud sw arming piccaninnies. He say an array of single-story brick houses, with corrugated iron roofs that gave the sun glare for glare. There were also huts of wattle and daub, and tents pitched on lots In the heart of the town. The market square was filled with cumbrous, white-topped wagons, before which many pairs of oxen chewed and winked away the files, still harnessed on either side of the wagon tongue. Every house seemed a store, and every store ap­ peared to be dedicated to the sale of eld clothes and junk; in front of them gangs of natives in loin-cloths, with tattered, filthy blankets about their shoulders, were chaffering la a dozen different dialects with the proprietors. Taungs looked the dirtiest, meanest place that Winton bad ever seen. He wished that It were possible to take it up with the implement of the same name and bury it. He was sure that it would not be terribly missed. He was glad that he was to take the morning stage across tho desert for Malopo. Ho hoped earnestly that Malopo looked better than Taungs. A drunken native, wearing u lotacteth and a naval officer's second-hand eoat, which be had just purchased, and use for that crowd, he told me.

How Four Old Maid, Have Real Christina, As the train sped on the artist’s rem­ iniscences were Interrupted by tho voices of the conductor and one of the passengers. "But this train does not stop at Redfield,” the conductor was saying, as he looked at the old man's ticket "It must sure stop this time," answered the passenger; "I just got to see Jim once more before he goes. I only got the message this morning. I want to wish him a merry Christmas and a happy New Tear where he’s goln'." The conductor hesitated, then seemed to yield as he passed on, and the old man sat back in his seat unaware of tbe atmosphere of sympathy around him. Shortly after the bell rope was gulled, the train drew to a bait, and kindly looks followed him down the aisle and on to the platform of the little station. Tiie incident was barely finished and the train had attained but little head­ way when there was a sudden and ter­ rible Jolt, followed by a crash and the bumping of the cars over the ties, then a stop and an affrighted silence, broken by the voice of the Pullman porter, crying out, "We’s run through an open switch and we's wrecked, but ne* min', de train am standin’ on de groun*.” Engine, baggage cars and dining car were off and broken, but the,Pullmans remained on the track. “If we hadn’t stopped at Redfield." said the conductor, “we'd *a* been going forty miles an hour and all heaped up at the bottom of the embankment." In the artist’s studio today there Is a picture of the Christmas Christ, with the halo that believing love has placed upon His head. And just below It an­ other halo rests upon th? head of an old man, pictured there because of bls unconscious but real service of man­ kind. fyS7|HEY were a family of old maids |C*J| —fonr sisters.

The California holly—Christmas ber­ ry—toyon—is not very similar to the regular holly in structure, but the tint of the leaves and of the berries ap­ proximates the colors afforded by the regular sort. The leaves of the California holly i are not of the form of holly leaves, but the berries easily suggest the reg-; ular species. To make the effect seem more real, some florists of coast cities mix tho berries of the California holly with the prickly foliage of the live oak. The shrubs of the California holly grow 4 to 25 feet tall, and the flowers appear In July and August, and the berries, which grow in large clusters similar to cherries, are ripe by Thanks­ giving and remain on the trees for some time; although they do not ke€p well after bring plucked. The plant Is common In most of the southern half of the state, and at Christmas time the rich cardinal ber­ ries contrasted with the full green of the foliage adds a gay note to the florists’ windows and tbe baskets of the street vendors. Tbe berries have a rather pleasant taste, somewhat acid and astringent, and are “sometimes eaten by the In­ dians with great relish,” according to Mary Elisabeth Parsons Cunningham, tn "Wild Flowers of California." Such has been tbe wild scramble for California holly at Christmas times In recent years that It has been necessary to protect the shrubs by law, It now being a misdemeanor to gather the holly in the hills and along the high­ ways without the permission of tho owner of the property. Landowners, however, usually are willing for motor parties to avail themselves of a reason­ able supply of the rich red and green decorating material for home use, but dealers are often at a loss to supply the demand at Christmas time.—C.

You can’t tell much about the grain By looking at the bark; And yet, from Oregon to Maine, From daylight until dark, A lot of people judge a lot By what you wear or what you've got, A lot of folks who never tried To see the sort of man inside. The bark's perhaps a little rough, With here and there a scar. But that is never quite enough To tell the man you are. Becaxw* the bark is not the test: It's underneath the bark and vest; The bark’s the unimportant part; The thing that matters Is the heart. And that is why, you understand.

He shuddered now as he thought of Christmas, when only a few hours ago he had been livln/ in happy an­ ticipation of tbe day. He bad planned so many things; so many little sur­ prises that would bring joy to his loved ones; but now that was all over, for how could he enter Into the spirit of Christmas, weighed down with care and dread of the future as he was now? Walter Manners had always been a man who set a great stress upon duty, and as he went along now the thought came to him that a real duty to his family lay before him. For he felt that he would be inflicting a great wrong upon them were he to go to them now with the story of his failure and to spoil their Christmas.

So engrossed was he with his thoughts that he never noticed that Clyde Peters was standing inside the window and gazing straight at him. He flushed a dull red again as the thought came to him that surely Peters would suspect something to see him wandering aimlessly around at what was usually the busiest time of the day at Clarkson’s. But ho nodded as ^easantly as he could to Peters and walked on. Somehow he got through the eve­ ning without his family suspecting that there was anything amiss. He joined in the general gayety and helped with the decorations and various other little Jobs, but all the while the heart Within him was sick with misery. But he knew that the burden was bls to bear alone, and the thought that he was saving his family from the truth for a few days gave him a little feel­ ing of comfort. At ten o’clock, after the smallest of the children had been put to bed and the Christmas tree bad received all its trimmings, die door bell rang with a loud peal. Walter Manners opened It, thinking it was a neighbor or pos­ sibly a Christmas gift of some kind, but instead the tail figure of Peters stood in the doorway. In a few minutes he told what he wanted—seeing Manners standing out­ side bls store that afternoon and sus­ pecting from his attitude that some­ thing was wrong, he had made in­ quiries and found he had left Clark­ son's. Whereupon he had come to ask him if he would consider a posi­ tion with him, and when he named the salary Walter Manners gasped, as it was nearly twice the figure he had been getting. And when, because of bis high sense of duty that was his, he told Peters that Clarkson had let him out, Peters only laughed aloud and said: “As if that would make any difference. The wonder to all in Washburn has been how you could have otood him so long." After that it did not take Walter Manners long to give consent to the offer, and his cup of Joy seemed full as he bid good-night and good wishes to Peters at the door. But it was full to overflowing a few minutes later when old Clarkson came pnfflng to tbe door and told him he could have his old Job back again, with a small increase in salary. For although be never wanted to see Clark­ son’s store again, yet toe feeling that he was wanted hack to the old place, added to the offer which he had Just accepted, gave him the confidence in himself which he bad always been lacking, and that Christmas Walter Manners really came into hit own, he bad gotten toe gift which he need- mas season echo to the strains of that beautiful and sonl-lnsplrlng hymn, “O, come all ye faithful."

The hymn was first given to the world In the Thirteenth century by a Franciscan monk, but did uot gain world-wide popularity for a long time after. The English translation was made by Canon Frederick Oakley over sixty years ago. Since that time the hymn has been translated Into the language of every nation and the sweet and lofty words ring out nt Christmas time in many remote places.

WHAT KIND OF WEATHER 18 THIS FOR WINTER? Here It Is, almost the middle of December, and as yet no snow and but very little freezing weather. A few nights have brought white frosts and In ponds there has been at times a skim of Ice, but so far the winter has been very kind to us. It’s a bit tough on the merchants who sell underwear, clothing and winter apparel in general, but their time may come a little later in the seasen. In the mean time, the rest of us surely have reason to congrat­ ulate ourselves on the clemency-of the winter. In the olden days lack of sleigh­ ing was a serious handicap to holi­ day trade, because people disliked to come to town to trade unless they could come with sleighs, but In the present age of automobiles, and with most of the roads smooth and hard, the automobile has the sleigh beaten a city block for transportation, and people are flocking to town to do their holiday trading even more than they now would If there was plenty of snow, with good sleighing. Satur­ day the streets were lined with peo­ ple doing holiday shopping, and it was some job to find parking space along the streets during the day and evening, while every day sees a good­ ly crowd of shoppers thronging the streets. All In all. we believe most of the people are pretty well satisfied with the present weather. Farmers are getting a lot of plowing done that will help out a lot In the spring, stock Is still contentedly browsing In the pastures, and the saving of fuel Is a noticeable Item. Of course, we’ll have to have some cold weather later on, so we can put up our summer’s Ice and have a lit­ tle sleighing and Ice-boating, but aside from that, the most of us could stand this kind of weather all win­ ter. —Genuine Coleman —Read Zemer’s advt. lanterns, skates, sleds. —Pyrex at Wotrieg’s. —Diamonds.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1923 VOLUME LI NUMBER 21 Humber -------- if’” DEAR SANTA: PLEASE BRING US- GHRISTMAS IS COMING -by RICHARD LLOYD JONES < Yes. Christinas is coining some­ time. It is coming when Christmas is a life and not a day; when it Is an abiding spirit and not a one day in the year manifestation; when It is conduct and not a seeming; when it Is a habit and not an exertion; when it is something within us and not without. Christmas is coming when, at all times we love to give more than we lov^to get; when we love to serve at least as much as we love to he served. Christmas is coming when not on­ ly some homes but all homes are happy, when the spirit of good cheer binds all homes in its wonderful, warm and. Inclusive radiance and good homes are no longer bound within themselves. Christmas is coming when all chil­ dren can play; when all homes are sunny and warm; when all tables are spread with bounty; when all stock­ ings are full. Christmas is coming when our associated charities will no longer have to dispense dolls to the little daughter of drunken fathers; when men are not allowed to grow rich by robbing children and mothers; by demoralizing weak fathers and hus­ - hands. Christmas is coming ' when men are brave enough and true enough to help their brothers stand up sol­ dier-like and fight the sordid powers that seek their selfish pots of gold by bringing men to shame and wo­ men and children to suffering, and want. Christmas is comig when we allow uo one to capitalize human weak­ nesses to beggar the individual and debauch public morals. Christmas is coming when every laborer can look forward to an old age without tear: when widowed mothers do not have to live in dread .lest some ‘'benevolent” asylum will rob her of her children. Christmas Is coming when judges look for justice .and not for loop­ holes and petty technical errors In the law. Christmas is coming when men seek not to take unfair advantage one of another but dwell In harmony, learning to love one another as He urges us to do; when men no longer suffer commercialized gambling plac­ es; when men no longer, with sunk­ en eyes and fevered brain, clutch at each other’s throats for gold; when stony faces no longer sneer at break­ ing hearts; when men are no longer .-et adrift on the waters ot misery by fickle fortune: when their wail­ ing voices are no longer lost in the rumbling roar of greed. Christmas is coming when frail human moths are no longer lured to flutter about false lights and drop at last, burned and bruised, on the cold gray stones of dissipation. Christmas is coming when women no longer let themselves drift easily down the river of foolish fashinn which has its end in the rea of un­ rest and where the false god of en­ vy waits. Christmas' is coming when we grow tolerant: when our wasting jealous­ ies are woven into love and helpful­ ness. Christmas is coming when democ­ racy is within rather than without our churches; when we follow the Mas­ ter and not some sectarian Interpre­ ter of the Master: when all our churches grow strong through simple sincerity and as He would have us. become one of His name. “* When every man is at his best ev­ ery day in the year and just one day in the year, when we LIVE as Christ taught us- to live, then will Christ­ mas come. We see once more the vision ot Bethlehem—that homely manger in which there came to us the baby Jesus with wonderoufc eyes Illumined by the soul ot God. ’Tis Christmas time—another Christmas, with oth­ ers yet to come and pass into eterni­ ty—and still with all the years there thunders down the ages the message ot the Saviour, "Peace on Earth. Goodwill to Man." The message: now remembered, now forgotten for the moment, but growing in power and strength with each succeeding generation. It is the inevitable, it is The Word, the avalanche of truth before which all obstacles must , re­ solve themselves into their original elements to be merged in the current of divinity that sweeps ever onward for the salvation of mankind. How better would be our weak humanity were we able to read aright that word which came to us in all its fullness. We ponder on that infant child, we see the growth to manhood, we try to sense the under­ lying and determined standards into whose image we are destined toshape ourselves. We resolve again and then again more properly to reflect His great simplicity. His unconquerable cour­ age and force. Here was determi­ nation in action, here was kindly sympathy in full expression, but here too was bravery and an uncomprom­ ising warfare on all that was hollow and a mockery. We fain would sense it. but we weakly fail. Have we today one who lashes .the money changers from the temple, or do we rather compromise with con­ science Tor the cash? Do we lay up our treasures Immortal or seek to hide them in the safe deposit vault? Do we act in superficial and only think in fundamentals. \Vhat is this Charity that is left to us a heritage—surely but a guide post pointing down the lane of Jus­ tice which once traveled leaves the signpost far behind unneeded in the further march? Ah. Christmas time has little meaning if we can­ not garner from it more than senti­ mental yearning of the hour. It is thb season of the child of course — the time for happy ’carts—the strange enchanting mo­ ment that thrilled us in the years gone by in the land of toys and the mystery of our Santa Claus But it is our season, too. even to­ day. Aye, think in the sear and yellow leaf we are not too cold to write another letter, to watch with slippered feet by the burning em­ bers for the gift we would prize so much. Then let us write: Dear Santa; Bring to us bravery and give us understanding of our great complexities. What we want most is strength to do. Courage to carry on. and Love for humanity, based on understanding. Bring us this holy gift, for this is Christmas time. Between Friends H Only 10 Shopping Days Before Christmas Don’t wait.

Who but Freddie shot the wild ducks which she whs taming, and drank cream In her dairy when she had gone to town? And tonight, as a blanket of Christ­ mas snow carpets the foothills and the valley, the widow returns from town with her melancholy parcels for Christ­ mas cheer.

Qu!ck.y ahe gave the order, for two; It was to be a modest meal, not too expensive, but healthful, and garnished with love. The waiter carried It in and set it down on the little correspondence table beside Friend Husband's desk.

Ptuletus did not see much use in such fanciful doings, but yielded to solici­ tation and appeared upon the occasion with es much grace as a feeling of foolishness would allow. His . spare form was now rotund, his sober gar­ ments had become gay, and tho jolly mask that bad been adjusted to his long face gave him quite a new ex­ pression. As tho joy among the children pro­ gressed and the spirit of fun and frolic mounted high Phlletus began to experience a change of heart To his amazement he began having a good time himself and to feel like a real Saint Nicholas. For this reason, per­ haps, he overexerted himself to such an extent that his mask fell off and It was revealed to the surprised audi­ ence that* It had been contradicting the face of Mr. Solemcolly.

A Cow's Nest. Two small boys were among a party taken out for a day Into the country for the flrat time In their lives. After eating their sandwiches they wandered Into a large field, and one, strolling into the corner, discovered to his sur­ prise three or four empty condensed milk tins. “Oh-ob, Billy,” he cried to his pal, “come here quick.

Tbe moon was shining and the arsnow sparkled like diamonds more rare and wonderful than are ever seen In a jewelry shop. The bells jingled, the frosty air seemed to say In Its cool, cheery way: "Tm here. I brush against your faces so you can feel me and my cold, bracing ways." And the sleigh went merrily along. Inside the sleigh were a man and a girl. And they were saying things which may not sound new to you. “There Is nothing In the world like love," was one of tho things they laid. “And to be In love, and slelgh-ridIng on Christmas night after a perfect Christmas day—there is nothing In the world like U."

And it’s unfair to a girl to monopolise her so that some other m&n, not thus placed, is kept from courting her." Very square of him, his audience would feel and, if It were young, ad­ mire him tremendously. If it were oldlah, it envied his mother tbe pos­ session of such a son. Cedarville was one of thoee neigh­ borly little communities which sit up nights taking a friendly interest In one another's affairs, and when John’s father died it became public property that he had left only the large stucco house and a moderate insurance to his wife, and to John his coal, wood and' Ice business. “What a sweet little thing Carrie Watrous Is," his mother remarked one evening fipom her side of the mahog­ any dinlug table. “And Paula Scott has such lovely' eyes.” “Yes, Mother," said John. "Can I serve you a little of this white meat? Georgiana certainly can broil!" It might be well to mention that Georgi­ ana was the latest thing In colored cooks lest any gentle reader suspect the entrance of the heroine kitchen disguise. these “Where la Marilyn . days?" asked Mrs. Underwood. ••She will make some man a splendid wife." “Righto," said John. 1 wonder if I may he excused? That Rotary af­ fair begins early.” It can be seen that John bore his sacrifice quietly. Ha was not the one to dwell on the girls and tbeir attrac­ tions us one who feels himself cheated. Shortly after this conversation Paula Scott’s cousin came to visit her. Now Paula was much in demand and never needed John's escort for per­ sonal use. But she did think of him for Elsie for the Tennis club dance, and dated him up accordingly. Elsie fell for John—hard. Out on the balcony at intermission he told her gently just how he was situated, and she laid a soft hand on his sleeve and turned up at him two large orbs brimming with sympathy. He was just right in his attitude, and she thought the more of him for It! The very next day she boldly manu­ factured an errand, with Paula’s amused help, that took them to call on Mrs. Underwood. It was the first of a series of neighborly visits. Elsie had a winning way of absorbing the gems of wisdom possible for an older woman to let fall—directions for a dropped stitch sweater, an excellent stain remover, a recipe for ginger­ bread a la John's taste. Meanwhile the other delved deep Into the recesses of Elsie's simple per­ sonality. In short, what she discov­ ered led Mrs. Underwood rather de­ liberately to make up her mind. "John," she said one evening, “It’s not natural for you to sacrifice your life for me. If It wasn’t for me you’d The beauty of snow lies la contrast Who lias uot seen long, bluish shadows creep over It at sunset? Or marked with delight the thin penclilngs of bare branches shifting over its surface by moonlight? Snow requires changes, interruptiona, so to speak, to bring out its character. Tbe ruggedness of hills makes the valleys y« more peaceful. Tbe stark, rough “glory of thp trees" lends decision to a landscape; the thin­ nest, wind-whipped edges weave pat­ terns of indescribable frailty on the pages of the snow. So it is with Christinas. We could hardly lira up to Christmas every day In the year. The whole meaning would become worn and threadbare through constant association. When. It does come, it should stand out by contrast, In great and shining beauty. The worries, fruits, failure* and dis­ appointments of the months just gone should lend the proper “shadowing" so that the purity of the day stands out In white distinction. ■ And If the heart must ache a little, as all hearts do no matter bow greet the happiness, let tbe pain be the pendllngs of branches on thfl match­ less page of Christmas, glvtag it added beauty and character.—Martha B.

He did not sign his name in the Inkstained register, and the clerk seemed Indifferent whether he did or not. This was an act of common prudence.

But Winton had discovered, during his single week in South Africa, that human nature was pretty much the same as among the flotsam of American mushroom towns.

A black tail-coat and waistcoat, gray trousers, pressed to the compressionlimit'of the cloth, and patent-leather shoes completed his attire. But his accent pussled Winton. The tones that emanated from ti>e young man's throat wore exactly those of the stiffest and the sacred atmosphere of an English ual versify. “The Chronicle Is very strong on veracity, Mr. Etfridge,” replied the usgre, biteblag up bls trousers at the knees before stooping la search of an “I bet Van Vorst is at tbe bottom of this,” remarked one of the group.

Friends of Frank Corman, who for the past tew years has made his home with Mr. and Mri W. K. Cdle. and of Mrs. Agnes Gilman, widowed daughter of Mr. awd Mia Elmer Cole, have been very anxious the past few days over the mysterious disappearance of the couple. They seem to have dropped out of sight as completely as though the ground had opened up and swallow­ ed them, yet their friends are loathe to think anything like that could have happened. Possibly abduction by automobile bandits has been sug­ gested. but there sems to be no ground for such a suspicion. Neither Mr. Corman nor Mrs. Gil­ man have been seen by any of their friends or relatives since early Mon­ day morning, and they are naturally worried as to their whereabouts or wbat may have happened.

Her mother-heart yearned to give her little ones the proverbial Thanks­ giving dinner which they had heard and talked so much about, but she was struggling desperately to earn a living and keep her little family together. So, with a heavy heart she started out to her day’s work, knowing there would be no Thanks­ giving dinner this year and no pros­ pects for a better one next year. But, before this Thanksgiving Day had rolled around the burden had been lifted from her weary shoul­ ders. Her children were happy and enjoying a real Thanksgiving dinner this year, as well as all the other comforts of home life, most of which she had been unable to give them, her husband having succumbed two years ago after a long illness, which he contracted while overseas. Tho mother breathed a prayer of thanksgiving this year, thanking God that her husband's buddles had made possible a real home for her kiddies, and above all, that they were still hers—for the American Legion did not establish an orphan­ age, but a home—lu all that that word Implies—where she mav yislt her happy little ones at any time, and she is looking forward to the time when she can again gather them Into her own home, because the American Legion has made that hope possible by helping her "over the rough spot.’’ Jlgfk|f I MH PARK ThC3uC ■ ■ MVliH V DUNCAN |R MT., orc. “and Where Men Are Men larry 8EMON tar “< •-»- -* SUN., DSC. 23, on/y—HOUSE PETERS In The Man from Lost River and WILL ROGERS In “JUST PASSIN* THRU*' THREE BIG NIGHTS, Tutu.

Stole the Whole Dam Bank. Well, sir. Here’s a new one. The bank of Baroda has been stolen. Usually, bank burglars just go in and blow up the safe and drive away with the contents. Bank bandits swarm ip with their big guns, make every­ body stick up their mlts and march into the vault, then help themselves to all the money in sight. someBut thia Baroda affair -----thing else again. You may not know much about Baroda, but it’s a town of 250 or so of lost souls, over in Lake township. Berrien county. It Isn’t ao much of a town as towns go, nowadays, uut it was town enough to have a bank, and that’s something. That is, it was something until last week. The Baroda bank didn’t havt a vault, but they did have a safe. It wasn't such a big safe, but it would hold all the Baroda money without bulging much or having to wear a supporter. Such a safe, of course, might be "burgled” in time, by slick,1 bur­ glars who knew all the intricacies of the game, so to prevent anything like that happening the banker kept the safe right out in the front wiqdow. where the public could have a full view of it, day and night, where no one- could fuss with It without being seen.' But, the good people of Baroda use the nights for sleep, not for standing around gasing into bank windows watching the money grow, so when a bunch of yeggs drifted in­ to Baroda one night last week there was nobody in sight. Evidently the town was in the arms of Morpheus. But again. The burglars didn't know but perhaps some light sleep­ er might be aroused by the sound of a bottle of soup performlug its proper function, or some belated swain might be wending his way homeward after spending the even­ ing with some Baroda sweetheart and seeing what was going on might heave a dornlck through the bank window at them, so they adopted a safer method. They Just picked up the bank safe, carried it out and dumped it Into their automobile, and went on their way, with safe, money, bonds, etc., to the approximate value of 15.000. The papers say Sheriff Bridgman was called the next morning, as soon as the cashier discovered that the bank roll was missing, together with the bank's tin chest. Sheriff Bridgman, you remember, is the same Berrien county sheriff who has almost captured "King Benjamin" Purnell several times since the state has wanted him so badly, so we suppose these bold, bad bank burglars are shaking in their shoes, knowing Sheriff Bridgman is on their trail and that they are lia­ ble to be arrested sometime. My, but we would hate to have a sleuth of such unerring ability bay­ ing on our trail. However, we understand the Ba­ roda bank carried burglar insurance, so the depositors will be immune from loes and the bank will soon have another safe and be doing "business as usual." But We wonder whether a word of advice would be out of place? Why not take a piece of heavy twine and tie the new safe down, so those naughty burglars can’t run ___ _ _ with It? “ - - drive - They could a nail in the floor to tie it to. we should think. C.

FFJGHNER jSCHOOL REPORT. , November and December have been busy months for us. In November for Armistice day we named all boys we* knew from Nashville and vicinity that were in' .the World war. This was very In­ teresting as our number grew and .grew. We also read poems and re­ viewed the history of the war. With the help of advertlsments cut from newspapers the fifth arith­ metic class made price lists of goods ithat might be sold In a small store. From our price lists we made and solved -problems. The fourth grade arithmetic class found great pleasure studying meas­ urement. We measured the school room, the seats, lines on the board, etc. The first grade has enjoyed being Snowflakes and Clouds in their read­ ing class. Tho first and second grades have finished their Elson readers and are now doing supplementary reading. The fifth reading class is planning to read the book. Adventure of Nils, Jrom the library. The sixth and seventh grammar classes enjoy analysing sentences. ,We wish we had time to do heaps of them every day. The beginners have been having races, to see who could put the an­ swer to arithmetic problems on the board first. Now during writing periods they are writing'letters to Santa.

DARING ROBBERY PULLED AT BELEVUE CITY HALL. "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, yo ho ho. and a keg of hard cider." No doubt somewhere, some people are singing those very words. That is what sugested itself to us when we heard of the robbery from the musty vaults of the city hall, where the officers recently deposited for safe keeping seven kegs of cider of 1922 vintage. Taken in the raid on the Hungarian settlement this week were seven kegs of cider with a wallop and a part of a barrel of mash. The mash is there and so are six of the kegs. Some time during Wednesday night thieves entered the Jlty hall with tho aid of a pass key nd gently purloined one of those in,nocent looking little kegs. Now­ Marshal Tucker has his eye peeled for any unusual light beadiness, as he believes the cider did not go so very many miles from its resting place in the "Hall of Horrors".

Small bones, spread toes, sagged backs, weak pasterns, rough coats, slow growth, pot bellies, perverted appetites, hairless pigs, dead litters, runts and various undesirable conditions are traceable directly to an inadequate mineral supply. What GROBONE Contains. Calcium, phosphorous, sodium, chlorine, iodine. Just these necessary minerals, and no more, are supplied in GRO­ BONE; these ingredients are all true feeds. What it has been proved GROBONE will do. Supply the brood sow with the calcium and phosphorous necessary for the formation of stronger litters. Increase the milk flow and make milk richer in bone and body building elements. Increases size of bone, shortens feeding period, making your grain feed more effective. Satisfies craving which makes hogs root and eat their young. It takes the hazat-d out of the hog business and adds to your profits. Ham for the Funeral. The old farmer was slowly but surely dying.

Lack of minerals limits production, according to testa carried on by the United Stafte Department of Agri­ culture. Grain feeds very deficient in minerals. Many cases of abortion and pre­ mature birth of calves can be traced to an inadequate mineral supply. Goiter, that dread disease, is due to the lack of iodine in rations.

The attendance at these meetings was good, and we wish to express our appreciation to all who helped us in every way, by attending the meetings and getting others to at­ tend, and we trust that we may be of service to you during the coming year, oven more than the past, and that you will feel free to call upon us at any lime. Now is the time for the annual meetings of the township farm bu­ reaus. Officers will be elected to represent each tovnship and resolu­ tions made will be presented at the county annual meeting. Each member is a part of this farm bureau. Therefore to make the farm bureau a help and benefit to the members, each one haa a part to do. and If your part be left undone, this organization will lack just that much of being a success. What we need to make the farm bureau come up to the expectations of Its mem­ bers In cooperation, And to have this each one must feel that they have an individual fesponsibillty resting upon them. Why not profit by our short com­ ings during the past year, and make the year of 1924 a better year tor the farm bureau? To do this, your first duty 4s to be present at your town­ ship farm bureau annual meeting and help boost it. We want your support and are depending on you. Come and bring your family and Invite your neighbors. The county agent will discuss conditions of ag­ riculture in the United States and the world, which will be well worth hearing. Each member will receive notice of the meetings to be held in his township. Following is the schedule of meetings thus far planned. Hope and Rutland townships: Friday afternoon.

So it is with a feeling of deep this paper, whether they trade with me or not, pelled to chronicle a chapter ot mis­ fortunes that happened to him last week. Ho was helping Vic Gregg and we all mean just what this says: ddent that might have resulted very seriously. Frank is another of those fat guys who hump up in the back when they bend over, and while he was busily at work he felt something give way with a bang and he awoke to the horrible realization that his rear suspended buttons had suecumbed to the strain and had taken a divorce from hie trousers. It was a serious moment, but he found that by holding up the trousers with one hand and tossing up cornstalks with the other he could get along after a fashion. Soon came the ordeal, however, of going in to'dinner, and he didn’t dare to go in where all those ladies were, holding up his trousers with his hands, so he pinned a reef into the waistband and de­ cided that expedient would answer in lieu of a belt, and it worked all right—for a time. Trouble came, however, as a result of overeating. Frank is a good feeder and as the delicious vianda were urged upon him from every side he forgot his troubles and did ample justice to the dinner. The result was just what might have been expected. The improvised tuck gave way under the strain and when Frank got up from the table he had to beat a precipltons retreat, hanging manfully to his trousers with both hands. He made his escape in pretty good shape, re­ treating manfully like a good gener­ al, but they claim he had to stay heme from church the next day while Mrs. M. repaired the damage to his trousseau. We wish the coming year to the best you ever had, and if we can help in any way we will be pleas­ ed to do so. ■ Frieda Schulze. G. L Glasgow Dreaming over old times, as an old chap sometimes will, we wonder­ ed if Al Weber, now the energetic and successful publisher of the Che­ boygan Democrat, remembers one birthday he had during bis residence in Nashville, while ho was an em­ ploye of The News and was learning the printing trade. Al lived at home with his folks in those days, and his people kept a tew boarders. It was a jolly crowd and It had become the custom among them to celebrate the birthday of every fellow in the bunch In the good old-fashioned way, by spreading him over a table and all the others applying the “laying on of haqds” until the right number of years had been acounted for, with a few extra “to grow on.” The “treatments" had been getting more and more strenuous with each suc­ ceeding victim and when Al’s turn came he decided that discretion was the better part ot valor and he fail­ ed to put in an appearance at home the night before his birthday, be­ cause he dreaded the coming of the morn. When midnight arrived the waiting gang, not to be outwitted, started out on a tour of investiga­ tion which finally wound up at the Wolcott House, then conducted by Jacob Oemun. They learned that Al was there, but the proprietor re­ fused to lend them any aid in lo­ cating him. Not so. however, with Elwood Martin, at that time the night clerk. He not only tipped off the number of the room, but he loaned a pass key, with which the gang got into the room and «bey had the cov­ erings off the bed before the unfor­ tunate victim awoke enough to know what was going on and then R was too late. We had plenty of stools in the offlce at that time, but for the next week Al stood up at the case to set type and never looked around for a stool. And we’ll bet he re­ members it. 00234853485302530101024823532323232353234848232348232353010090 So many can give and so few can forgive.

(Continued from page 1) four comers, about like Maple Grove Center, except that it has a tourist hotel. This hotel is owned by a French woman and they certainly gave us a wonderful feed. If any of you happen to make this trip I , sure recommend you to this hotel. The next day we continued on trunk line 12 to Crystal Falls, where we took M & W-69 accross the cor­ ner of Wisconsin, then back into Michigan again into Iron Mountain. 1This is where you strike the mining , district 7 and Henry Ford’s town of Vulcan, where he has a number of ■acres of iron mines and timber land; also a large plant at I roc Mountain. We continued on to Iron River, where we stayed the second night. This is also a mining town of about five or six thousand popula­ tion. The third morning found us on our way bright and early. Our first stop was at Watersmeet. It Is named this because two streams flow in—here, coming within a few rods of each other, one flowing north and one south. We went from here to Bruce Crossing were we left the trunk line and on a rather poor road to Trout Creek. We stopped h£re for dinner, after which we drove to our camp, seven miles north. We camped on the west bank of the Ontonagon river and from our tent to the river bed was just nine hundred, feet. Some ravine. The banks are heavily wooded and ver/ pretty. After wo got oqr tent and stove up, Vern and I went down to the river for a pail of water, and believe me, we had some trip up the bank again. It was nearly dark by this time so we got supper and turn­ ed In early, so we could be up at day light the next morning, which was the ninth. As the deer hunting sea­ son did not open until the tenth, we spent the day looking over the hunt­ ing grounds within a couple mile® of our tent, taking our shot guns along to get birds for dinner. The partridges sure were thick—every; few feet a bunch would raise from among the pines, so we soon had all we could eat, and believe me they make some eating, too. Vern had not been out long before he jumped a nice buck and had only a shot gun loaded with number six bird shot— he sure was some mad boy all right. The morning of the tenth dawned and we were out bright and early and decided to make a drive from an old road back through the pines to the rivet*. We spread out in a line about ten or fifteen rods apart, and as it happened I was a little ahead and came out to a dry meadow about 60 or 80 rods across to the oak ridge. Looking across I saw two deer running through the brush and so I threw the old thirty-thirty to my shoulder and cut loose. They were nearly to the bank as I fired the first shot and they wheeled and started straight back across the ridge again. I fired four more shots when the kid who was with us join­ ed me and we emptied our guns at those fool deer and as they say, "never touched a feather”, but we sure had a lot of fun anyway. The next day we made another drive, Vern going down about twen­ ty rods beyond me and we were to meet on the point where we had left Mr. Bera to watch, but Vern got “balled” up and went around on the oak ridge and drove out a nice buck which I shot. We dressed him and Vern went and got the truck and drew him Into camp. I won't weary you with any more description of our hunting, but will say that there certainly is an awful lot of deer in the terntory in which we hunted. We were in camp just eight days after the season opened when we all had our bucks. We came back through Wisconsin and Illinois by the way of Green Bay, Milwaukee, Racine, Appleton and Chicago, and from there to Gary, Ind., then to Michigan City, Benton Harbor, Paw Paw, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Naahville, having been gone just, three weeks to a day. They can tell you about the won­ ders of Yellowstone park and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, but believe me, you don’t have to leave old Michigan for wonderful ^nd spell-binding scenery. If you don’t think I am telling tne truth, just crank up the old bus next fall and take a trip through Upper Michigan and you will be well repaid for your ride. Otis Gokay.

Winton had been something of a sprinter at college. He knew he could probably outdistance the best of tho police force. But he heard answering whistles before him and shouting. He Inferred that he was running toward the police station. He saw another alley mouth open beside an empty ped­ dler’s wagon, and darted down. Tiie street was empty, but the moon now rode high in the sky, lighting up the town more brightly than an instal­ lation of electric lights might have done. Winton hud baffled hls pursuers for the moment, but they were all about him,* tiie trap had been well set, and in fact pairs of police had been sta­ tioned at the ends of all the streets leading into the desert. He was like a trapped rat. rushing blindly from alley to alley, and, what was worst, the foreign population of the district was waking from the early sleep in­ duced by its activities of the day. As Winton ran an Indian fired deliberately at him from a window. The wind of the bullet whistled upon hls neck. And the shouts were growing louder on all sides. Winton reeling from weakness as he run. He had not realized how strong an effort he had made to pull himself together after the two stun­ ning blows.

He was in an uiiey blocked now at the end behind him by hls pursuers. They had not seen him as he ran in the shadow of some booths, but the yells of the Indians apprised Winton tha* hls course was accurately known. Before him a street ran at right angles, and somewhere in this another group was racing to cut him off. He looked up in despair, and then discovered that he had run round the circumference of a large circle. In front of him wn the square which he had passed Immediately bafore the at­ tack <>n him.

He was almost at her side when a cry broke from her lipa. He looked at her; It wax Sheila Seaton. She seemed to take in the situation in a moment. She grasped at him, and. as he reeled from weakness, dragged him Into the tiny house with all her strength. Then she shut the door soft­ ly and blew out a candle. Neither spoke. Winton had sunk to the ground, but. half fainting as he was, he could bear her frightened breathing as shs stood over him, and then th« cries ot hls pursuers as they swept down the street and met the party running up the alley. There followed a medley of voices. They dwindled away and died In the distance. Winton beard the girl strike a match. The little candle light flamed up In a (Corner.
