John Caley, Highly BcHprcted and Aged Citlaea, Goes to Rew ard Early Sunday Morning. ll ot the The people of Nashville and vicin­ ity were saddened Sunday morning when the news went forth ot the death of John Caley, who passed away at the age of 84 yean, 4 months and 15 days, after an illness of but a tew weeks. Mr. Caley was a man of high ideals and sterling qualities, and was well know in the vicinity of Nashville and Maple Grove, having worked at the blacksmith trade in these two places for a period of 46 years. Dur­ ing 19 years of this time he conduct­ ed a shop In Nashville, having as his partner his son Frank. Few men can claim the distinction of having stood daJLly behind the anvil until they bad passed the 81st milestone of their life. On January 8, 1923, Mr. Caley aud son sold their black­ smith shop, the former retiring from active business. The .son (Frank then entered the mercantile business. iled: for I a new p major.be what 'es it. In id for ^TtoruE. Mohlefl^dna M. Shilling. Artha E. RariclUJUlph C. Pennock. Floyd Munson. Etta E.

In 1912, Miss Mohler graduated from the Michigan State Normal College of Ypsilanti, specializing in the Manual Training course in which she did splendid work and rape cal ly enjoyed the course all the way through. Her Instructor was very careful not to praise her too much to her face, but her classmates tell us she made some fine models. Thia teacher wish­ ed to ideate near the college, but at this tin* ahe was given a very good offpfc- from home, where she bad Xaaght before going away to school, and she accepted. It was while she was in this school that the Nashville schools sought her to take a position with them, but owing to the fact she had juat signed her contract to re­ main another year where she was, she thought brat to stay by her prom­ ises, although 'it was bard to turn down her alma mater. Following her work in thl* school she taught In the Woodland village schools. While there, in the fall of 1915, she was married to Lester H. Brumm, who was attending college, taking a veterinary course.

Mrs. Brumm went to her home, expecting to stay there, but instead, taught the Mason school in Kalamo. She liked the people in that community and enjoyed her work with them. Mr. and Mrs. Brumm are now Ideated In Woodland, where Dr. Brumm has his veterinary practice. Mrs. Brumm Is a busy lit­ tle woman, and is especially inter­ ested in the Women's Study club of which she is ex-president. At pres­ ent they are building a bungalow to replace the one destroyed by fire last winter. We regret very much that you had thia misfortune, but hope you will soon enjoy your new home. Many thanks to Mrs. Brumm for the wonderful personal letter. !>etters like yours make us feel like working even harder than we have heretofore.

By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla. O. S. Bruck, advertising director of the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise & Journal, says: That the winged word—advertis­ ing, educates the public. It is true that one of the functions of advertising is to create a demand but in reality it uas a secondary pur­ pose; this is to educate the public. Advertising is the winged word taking flight from one city to another, one state to another, one country to another, bearing Its message to the housewife, the farmer, the business man. the laborer, and the capitalist. Advertising is not only born of ed­ ucation but wonderfully promotes it —visualizes the world's work in all its actualities. It is the handmaiden of science and invention, breaking down commercial barriers, distribut­ ing either serviee or goods on merit alone. Properly planned and placed adver­ tising has accomplished the seeming­ ly Impossible in educating the peo­ ple In every endeavor of life, and Its limitations are only bounded by the vision of those who employ it.

C. radio authorities. Twenty different departments of the college will offer courses the 16 weeks ot the school, which is to close on April 29.

Courses of study in engineering, science, and arts subjects find a prom­ inent place in the radio schedule for the first time and feature the expan­ sion of the M. S. C. radio work. Four talks are scheduled for each evening, the first starting at 7:15 p. m., eastern standard time, and the last finishing at 8:00 o’clock. The "school" nights each week will be Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs­ day and Friday. A total of 320 indi­ vidual lectures are listed during the 16 weeks.

EVERY TOWN'S NEED Time is fleeting and many of our smaller towns are missing golden op­ portunities because they do not have a live business men's organization. By “live" we mean one that has a 90 per cent membership of the farlous business firms, meets regularly and discusses* in open forum things relating to community and business betterment. Practically every town has the framework of an organization which meets occasionally and does a few things but rarely is one to be found which really is on the job all of the time, nor begins to accomplish the things that are Just waiting for an active head to move' along smoothly. A little pep, a little push each week will keep many things moving. Just stop a moment and think of the things around the community effort could accomplish. Then ask yourself the question, “Have I pep enough my­ self to help." Too many of us are willing to “Let George do it." We are inclined to be Indolent and self­ satisfied when any effort presents It­ self outside of our own field of en­ deavor. We neglect to do things which will Indirectly bring profit to us. except in occasional instances.

The Michigan Bell Telephone Company mol Life From The Side Lines By “Little” Fike Here is where we roll up our sleeves and start our labors of the new year—1987. This being the first week in the new year we are going to be very lenient—we’ll let you off easy this once bat watch your step next week. —o — How many of you can truthfully ■ay that you have kept your New Year’s rrsol utions ? — o — We can. of course we only made one—and that waa to eat three good square meals a day. If we fall to keep this resolution, it will not be en­ tirely our fault. It will be because our friends forget to occasionally in­ vite us over to their house for a chicken dinner. Yep. this is the beginning of a new year. Our last year’s license plates are about as much good (o us ns the last sheet on a "liHMJ" calendar pad. And we’ve got to buy a new license plate for our favorite dog—apd that on or before the 10th. Bert Smith says: “A feller ought to be able to buy a license for the dog by the weight system, same as the auto license." — o — This might work all right for Bert but it would be like buying a commer­ cial license for an oversized bus, for Gene Barnum. 4 — o — . And speaking of Gene Barnum makes us think of a little incident we will have to tell you about- Gene started out the other evening, about mid-night, climbed into his car and away he went—but he didn’t “went” very far, Just nearly to the end of the pavement, south of of town. Gene thought that the fire was south in Maple Grove, instead of west* of town. However, some Fords seem to posseHH almost the same intelligence as Jake Hnbcrsaat’s mule. Gene was rush­ ing merrily south, and as we have stated before, had nearly reached the end of the pavement, when his Ford balked and refused to budge another inch—not trecause it realiz^-d that Gene was going in the wrong direc­ tion, but because the gas tank was empty. Gfrme climbed out, turned the fool Ford end for end and push­ ed it into town "go-cart" fashion, left it standing in front of Jerry Capen’s pump so he could fill the tank when he came down later in the morn­ ing. We do rot know whether Gene went back to , the house and went to bed, or "hoofed" it down to the fire pedestrian style. — n — And speaking of the fire makes us think of something elee. The ring­ ing of the fire bell awakened Chas. Mapes from his slumbers. When Chas, sat up In bed and had rubbed his eyes a couple of times, he heard the back-fires from the exhaust of a passing automobile. Chas. Jumped out of bed, grabbed his trusty gun and started for the door "as was", because he knew the alarm was at one of the banks and that burglars were already loading the big steel vaults on their truck. Chas, felt that it was i his duty as a patriotic citizen of Nashville to be right on the Job and help Adolph Dause cap­ ture the whole bunch of bank rob­ bers. However, Mrs. Mapes finally succeeded in stopping Chas, long enough to be able to explain to him that it was the fire alarm he had beard. — o — Here arc a couple of little items we should have told you about last year, that is, during the last few days of the year. One of the items pertains to Phil Dahlbonser. It’s funny how old habits will cling to a feller—refer­ ring, of course, to the old custom of driving up to a hitching post or a shade tree. Phil was coming down Rhcrman street in his Ford on a Sun­ day not so very long ago.

The fumes seemed to leak from the gas stove. Mre. Cool revived and is doing nicely, but It was considered a close call. A movement is well under way for the forming ot a Nashville Business Men’s club. A meeting was held Thursday evening and everyone pres­ ent seemed to be in favor of the proj>osition, so several committees were appointed, another meeting arranged for next week, and it is probable that the organization will be effected at that time. a In renewing ate subscription tor another year, James A.

Uncle’s Marriage Told By (Tarabelle Sluuwn. None ot ua had ever thought of Uncle John's taking such a step at his age. Getting married when you are seventy years old isn't a very common thing. But I have seen him do so many queer things that 1 wasn’t a bit surprised. I have seen him walk five miles to town with one dol­ lar in his pocket and buy a new bill­ fold to put his money in when be did­ n't have any more. I had noticed that he waa acting quite absent minded but thought be was sick. The first time I knew about his loving was when I saw him coming out of the drug storq with ten cents worth of salted peanuts in his hands and Sally Slitzburger Jones walking with him. That night he came in at eight o’clock, the latest he’d ever been out since the Civil War. I never had a good Jook at Sally Slitzburger Jones before, but I think that Uncle must be crazy or something must be the matter. Her face is about as long as our bull­ dog's face, and it reminds me of it. too. excepting her nose which isn’t be­ coming on . anyone’s face. But If Uncle John thinks she is all right, why she is; that must be so cause he’s smart. He corresponds with Sears Roebuck of Chicago.

(25-27) WHAT IT MEAN'S The non-agricultural portion of the population of this nation la getting a ala nt at what the agricultural class means by the various . remedies through which they seek to equalize agriculture with other business enterJgtfM in the price of turkey this boll- stances allow them to indulge in that delicacy. The turkey raisers of the nation got together in a co-operative association that was strong enough to fix the price and it was set at from 35 to 37 cents per pound to the farmer with a regular scale of added charges for dress, cartage, etc. Now, 37 cents per pound isn't an exorbitant return to the person who takes the chances of raising turkeys on the farm so that the fellow in the city may have that delicacy on his table but it means a retail price of 60 to 65 cents per pound for turkey. That price is prohibitive excepting to the more fortunate. ' But, the great idea is not the pirce •C turkey, for turkey is a luxury that can be gotten along without, but it is to call attention to the fact that all agricultural prices will take a corres­ ponding jump it and when the Fed­ eral Congrees can enact into legisla­ tion a law that will take care of the farmer's surplus.

Grain, Potato, Egg, Apple and Floral Shows Attract Entries From All Sections of Michigan Michigan growers of field crops and horticultural products will exhibit se­ lected samples at the various shows to be held at Michigan State College during Farmers Week, January 31 to February 4. Poultrymen will also display their wares at an egg show which will be held at the same time. The corn and grain show which has been held at the College in past years has been the training ground where Michigan exhibitors learned the art of preparing exhibits which would win aganst any competition. The lessons learned at these prev­ ious shows have been used to good advantage at the International hay and grain show. Michigan farmers each year bring a large amount of prize money and sheaf of ribbons back from the Chicago show. The apple show will be held .in the new horticultural building this year. The show will be a brilliant one, accord­ ing to officials who have been check­ ing up the entry lists. A floral show at which will be displayed the most beautiful flowers produced by Michigan’s greenhouses, is to be a new feature of the horticultural at­ tractions. Prize winning entries from the state sectional potato shows will compete at the potato show. Indi­ vidual classes, county classes, certi­ fied seed classes, and a class for po­ tatoes graded by farmers will be In­ cluded. The exhibits at the egg show will demonstrate the way to grade egRH for the best markets. Soviet Secret Service The Russian word “cheka-ly refers to the secret service of Soviet Rus­ sia.

The Warburton acres had taken on a new value when the great motor highway bad cut through part of the property only to swerve aside and diverge from the Hinman acres and cross the bridrre, leaving the hitter property marooned amid its rich pastures and woodland*. The Hinmans and _Warbarton* had twvn unfriendly for xome yeore—owing to u marriage that ended in dlvor»T between two member* of the families. 'There w»h only one Hinman worth looking «at la this world,” gloomed Jim Warburton. “and that was Syl­ via—end she turned me down flat for that Meade fellow. Don't know as I blame her for I’m not much ac­ count and he has barrels of coin.” ■ He walked along the imaginary boundary line, remembered something about white birches and. finding them scratched the mossy turf and found an ancient landmark—a. small square of white stone on which small letter­ ing was chiseled. It proved to mark the property of James Warburton, in the "yr. 1830." He walked down to the highway but could not find the other marker. He knew that the line was a straight one "east from white marker." If jhe new highway had only run on for another fifteen feet some of the Hinman property would have bordered on it—but what difference would (hat make to the Hinmans— Sylvia and her aunt were the only ones left, and they lived in New York. A week later. Jim, coming back home from the county seat for-a week end in his lonely bouse, heard strange news from bis man of all work, Han­ son. “Yea, sir, Mr. Warburton, there be squatters on your property." declared Hanson. "Such a nerve—" "Squatters) Gypsies?" asked Jim frowning. "Nothing like that! Two wirnmln be building a little bungalow—all themselves, one of them portable things, and the outside is nailed with sliver birch logs and there’s a sign a-owinging—The Green Ladies' Tea House’—Shucks, to be trespassln* and all." “Thank you. Hanson. Hl take a look around after dinner, whenever you wife has It prepared." After the early dinner, Jim, cool, satisfied that Hanson's story was somewhat exaggerated, walked down the long garden, through the rustic gate and across the old orchard of dead trees to the open hillside where scattered birchen marched down the hill to the new highway. The new* bungalow, all silvery white where It wasn't stained green or brown, was there, and from the kitchen' in the rear, came the aroma of good things to eat—fried chicken, new aspanigUM, strawberry shortcake —Jim’s mouth watered. Mra. Han son's cooking was below par. He frowned again and walked up to the white birches, to look at the boundary mark. He.could see the little bunga low. built just Inside the Warburton property, so as to take advantage of the coveted position on the motor road, and he could see a number of care parked on the private road on the other side that led to the Hinman house. Inside the little house it was coxyenough. Green tables set with worn but exquisite damask, and dainty old china and silver. In the background was a tall, allver-halred woman in a green dress, and waiting on a group of prosperous-looking motorists was a pretty waitress, also wearing a short green frock and u crisp organdhapron. She did not see Jim Warbur ton until she had brought dessert to the large table, then she came to him with a tumbler of cold water and a napkin. "Jim Warburton F* she exclaim#'1 with a guilty blush. "Sylvia—Mra. Meade T' he stam mered awkwardly. “I never dreamed It could be you or your aunt” “Why not?" she asked lightly, still with that blush of embarrassment "Auntie and I must live—and the old house is too far back from the road to be profitable—and we even plan to sleep here, because It is so lonely down there In the wcmmK" “The old place has been closed too long, Sylvia. Now, why can’t you and Mbw Hinman come over to Warburton and stay In the south wing until you are settled here." "1 will bring Aunt Winifred," said Sylvia, and departed without taking bis order at all. Later on, the three dined amicably together, and Jitn told them that he had come t^*re in­ tending to oust them from his land. “Your landT’ repeated Sylvia’* thrilling voice. “Why.

It Is significant that George did not at once telephone the good news. In a wuy. it mode their marriage an immediate possibility and surely one would expect that any engaged young man's secret desire would He in that direction. • On the contrary, several days went by and still George said nothing to Sarah of the windfall. If be appeared distrait the very next time be saw her. she gave no oatward sign of no­ ticing the fact. She even loaned hltu the muguHne containing Ute South seas story without a query as to why be wanted it. To tell the truth, George was an enigma to himself. Here for months be had been lunging to marry Sarah and now, at the instance of a silly yarn dealing largely with beating surf and honey-colored moons and dusky maidens, he was yearning to take a little trip all by himself and postpone settling down for a year or two. His unexpected legacy seemed to render legitimate this desire, yet how could he explain to Surah? The obvious thing to do would b«to get married and then.

"George," she said solemnly, Tve something to tell you. It's hard to say. but1—well. I’ve changed my mind about getting married. I feel—well, before I settle down. I'd like to go ■ <«mewhere, see somebody—" “See somebody—" echoed George, feeling as if the bottom of things were falling out “Yea," nodded Sarah, and Into her eyes came a faraway ecstatic expres sion. "Sometimes I dream of distant lands where the off-shore surf beats on ’be coral reefis, where honey-colored moons rise out of a velvet ocean, and strong, bronzed men in spotlexs suits, white helmets and Victoria crosses on their chests—" “Sarah!" by this time George had risen. Then, with an effort to swallow his indignation, "Just bow would you do all this?" he asked. “Weil," Mid Sarah, Tve nearly a thousand dollars I was saving to­ wards the house and—" "And you’d use that!" “Perhaps when I come back," said Sarah gently, “I’ll not mind marrying you. But first—oh, I want one last mad fling!” Rising, while her work fell to the floor unheeded, she threw her slender arms towards the celling. Then she found heraeif seized and her arms, falling, fell on George’s abonldera. "Sarah/’ be was saying sternly. “Enough of this nonsense!

The Cnhnuaga put his band to his mouth, and the high-pitched, soaring notes of the war-whoop resounded through the air. And as If one direct­ ing center animated them all the thou­ sands of savages closed In on us, yell­ ing and shrieking, weapons menacing, feet pounding’ the measures of some clumsy dance. • They swirled round and round us. those who could get nearest dashing up to the stakes to meek at us nr threaten us with words and weapons. Nobody touched us. but the strain of constantly exacting physical assault was perve-racklng. Ta-wan-ne-ars smiled serenely nt them all. and when he could make himself heard, returned their threat*. This continued for a long time. Twi­ light was at hand before they dropped back, and a select band of young war­ riors began to exhibit their skill with .bow and arrow, knife and tomahawk. Arrows were shot between our arms and bodies; tomahawks hurtled Into 1he posts beside our enrs; knives were hurled from the far side of the open space, so closely alined that their |K>lnta shaved our nuked ribs. Once In a while we were scratched; the handle of a tomahawk, poorly thrown, raised a bump on my forehead. And De Veulle, squatting on the ground with a knot of chiefs, applauded the show. It went on and on. New forms of mental torture were constantly de­ vised. Darkness closed down, and the fir** beside the stakes were lighted. I was In a daze. 1 had ceased to feel fear or misgiving. I was conscious only of a grant weariness and thirst. Of a sudden I realised that the shouting had died down. The prancing figures were at rest. Rut Into the circle of firelight swayed the hideous column of FhIkc Faces, their masks of monstrous birds and beasts and rep­ tile* seeming alive with horrid purpose In the shifting gloom, their feet mov­ ing harmonlouHly In th? hesitant step of the dance, their voices united in th? monotonous music of their chant. They strung a circle, as they had done the day before, and halted, heads wabbling this way and that There was a brief pause, and I noticed De Veull*, risen to his feet and staring intently behind me. where the wall <»f pine* made a perfect background for th* spectacle. A sigh burst from the half-seen throngs of savages. “Ga-go-«a Ho-nun-as-tase-ta!’’ I craned my neck, and as well as th? thong* permitted me peered around the stake to which I was lashed. A white figure flitted from the protection of the trees and glided toward u«. The False Faces started a queer, rhythmic air. accompanied by gently throbbing drums. The figure commenced t? dance, arms wide, hair floating free. Beside me Ta-wan-ne-ars choked back a groan of hate and love and fought fruitlessly against the rawhide thongs. “Twas Ga-ha-no. She wore again h*r ceremonial uniform, the kilt and moccasins; but this time they were whit?, fashioned of skins taken from the bellle* of young does.

I think, the dance of creation, of tbe Impulse of life, one of the oldest and In Its per­ verted way one of the truest dances which man ever devised. It could only be danced by a savage people, primi­ tive And unashamed. Faster went the measure orf the dance. Faster whirled the glistening white figure. Now she danced before us, her eye* burning with mockery— I know not what—of Ta-wan-ne-ars. Now she spun around the open space In a serie* of Intricate step* and pos­ turing*. The music worked up to a crescendo, the drums thudding with furious-speed. Ga-ha-no leaped high In air and raised her arms toward the moon, whose sickle shape was no whiter or fairer than she. The chant stopped In the middle of a note, and a« her feet touched the ground again she ran lightly across threw ”herself the amphitheater and **■ ”* Into De Veulle’s arum, He totted her upon his shoulder. “The Moon feast is open.

The dancing-place’ became a wild tumult of naked savages, men and women, leaping In groups and couple.to the renewed music of the False Face*. Decency and restraint were cast aside. Tom and Rolling rolled In barrels of rum, which were opened and consumed as rapidly as the heads were knocked off; and the raw spirits combined with the hellish chant and the suggestive throbbing of the drums to stimulate afresh the passions which <3a-ha-no’s dancing had aroused. At flrat they paid no attention to u& They were preoccupied wltn the ex traordlnary hysteria which had gripped them. They apo*tropblu«d the moon. The women flung themselves upon the False Face*, for it was deemed an honor to receive the atten­ tions of these priests of evil. The men worked themselves into an excess of debauchery. Groups formed and dis­ solved with amaxlng rapidity. Indi­ viduals, wearying of each other, ran hither and thither, seeking partners who were more pleasing or attractive to them. But at last a portion of the drunken mob turned upon us. An old woman with wispy gray hair and shrunken breasts best Ta-wan-ne-ars on the flank with a smoldering brand.

Th? savages, keen to appreciate what they knew, applauded uproar­ iously such faithfulness to nature. They wen- equally enthusiastic when she advanced her. muzzle sus­ piciously and smelled of my face. But they could not hear the familiar voice which whispered in my par— “Mr. Ormerod. when I have cut your bonds be ready to leap after me as soon as the Iroquois Is free.” I started ho that my surprise must have been- appar-nt had it not been for the restraining rawhide thong*. “What?” I.gasped.

A second figure drew up to my side, and I felt a knifehilt pushed into my band. "In case," said the familiar voice, "And here is one for the Iroquois, too." 1 stared down In bewilderment at the bear mask. ’Twas so unexpected, yet so obviously what 1 might have known she would do If the oppor­ tunity arose. That clean worn, that brave honesty of purpose, I hud marked in her, were earnest of her deterndnatlon to dare all for what she behoved to be right. A chorus of yelps like a wolf-pack la full cry spilt the night behind us. One of the False Faces sprang into our path, and Ta-wan-ne-ars closed with him. The Seneca’s knife plunged into his throat, and be collapsed with a stranghxi scream. As the pine trees shrouded us 1 looked back over my shoulder. The dancing place was covered with a moh of running figures who fell over each other in their drunken frenzy. "To the left," sobbed the voice from the bear's mask. We turned between the trunks of tbe pine? tbe mat of fallen needles gpringy underfoot. Behind us the flreH of the dancing place were a faint radiance in the dusk. Branches crashed; bodies hurtled against each other; a bedlam uf shrieks resounded to the skies. “Let me help you." I panted to our rescuer. "There will be no nwd," she an­ swered, running stride for stride be­ side us. "Do not be concerned for me. Many a mile I have run with the gillies over tbe Highland hills." She stumbled as she spoke, and I set my hand under her elbow. Tawan-noars did the same on the other aide, and ao we ran for a space, three and three, our bruised and rusty joints gradually limbering with the effort. Presently we came to an opening amongst the pines, with a huge, flat rock In tbe center and before Che rock the ashes of a tire. My foot struck something round, and a human skull, blackened and charred, bounded ahead at us. I felt a shudder pass through the slender figure In the mask. " Tis the altar of the False Face*," she murmured. "None but the Ga-go-sa will dare to follow us through the wood." "Was that your thought?" I ques­ tioned. “No. I was helpless. 'Twas the Mistress—she bade me call h«r Gaha-no—thought of everything.” Ta-wan-ne-ars stopped in hl* stride. "What of Ga-ha-no?" he demanded sternly. She glanced fearfully backward along the way we had come. “We may not stay," she answered rapidly. “I wfli talk as we run. Oh, haste, haste, or all will be lost!” The Seneca resumed his steady gait, but the moonlight altering through the branches revealed the agony in his face, an agony which the ordeal at the stake had not been able to produce. “Gn-ba-no thought of all,” gasped our companion, her voice strangely muffled by the mask. “She came to me tills morning—whilst 1 was plead­ ing with them—told me how It it might be done—fetched me here—procured me the mu?1*' A'nd * *costume * * * * *—taught me —...................... the dance.

He was silent, and we ran on for as much us a quarter-hour, coming then to the bank of a small stream, where a trail marked a ford. “Under those bushes,” she said, pointing, "you will find your clothes and weapons. We hid them.this eve nlng." . 1 scurried Inlo the undergrowth and started to don the tattered garments which were fastened In a bundle to the barrel of my musket—the musket that Juggins had given to me, years and years ago. it seemed, tn London, and which I had expected never to sec again. But she halted me. "No, no, Mr. Ormerod !" she ex claimed. “There is not time. You must go on alone, the two of you. They will expect you to strike into the Doom Trail. Tia the quickest way to the settlements. Ga-ha-no bade me tell you to go west Instead, making for Oswego at the mouth of the Onon­ daga* river. So you may shake off the pursuit of the Keepers." . "But you?" I cried, standing up, bun ble and musket in hand. " Tia my part to lead them into the Doom Trail." Ta-wan-ne-ars joined with me in a violent protest. But she waved us aside. . •There is no other way. I will have learned much since my coming here. Master Ormerod. and amongst other things, to think the leas harshly of you." "For that I am thankful," I replied, “but surf* you must let us take you back to Fort Orange. Governor Bur­ net will care for you." “It cannot be," she Insisted. "My place is here. ** Wicked as they be, these men here—and he who Is called my father is not the cleanest of them —they work in a good cause. TIs for me to stay by and see they do what is expected of them for IL Now be off, sir. The False Faces will be on us any moment—and 1 am not wishing to be caught by them, even though they would not venture to do me harm." A burst of ferocious yelling came from the heart of the pine wood. "They have seen traces of us Is the open space by the altar,” interrupted He swung musket and bundle to his shoulder, and faced the bear mask, a spl ended figure In bronze. "Sister Ne-s-ar-go-ye," he said grave­ ly, "did Ga-ha-no give you any mes­ sage for Ta-wan-ne-ars?" She hesitated. "She said that If you asked for her I was to tell you to forget Ga-ha-no. that she was unworthy of your mem­ ory. But you were to believe that what she did for you tonight was In reparation for her first great wrong." He bowed hla head. “And oh. Ta-wan-ns-ars,' she went on Impulsively, "she pays a bitter price. Forgive her.” Ta-wan-nenra looked up. "Say this to Ga-ha-no," he answered. ‘‘Bay Ta-wan-ne-ars thinks of her as a Lost Soul, tarrying for a while with Ata-ent-ric, and In the end be will come for her and bring her home again to his lodge. Say that Ta-wan-ne-ars never forgets." He raised his right arm in the ges­ ture of farewell, and stepped into the current of the stream. “We part once more, Marjory," I said, offering my hand. She took it. "For certain words 1 have spoken to you, I am sorry," she said. ‘‘I know more now. You may be my enemy, but I believe you not to be a traitor." "Thank you. And Is that all you have to say to me?’’ “That is all," she replied softly, withdrawing her hand. "I will not leave you," I cried, and. made to walk with her along the trail. But she 'pushed xne back. "Please go, Master Ormerod.” she begged. "If I am not overtaken, this mask will protect me as far as the chapel, where iny own clothes are awaiting me. They dare not enter there." I captured her hand again and car­ ried it to my llpe. “My name is Harry," I answered. “And I have never forgotten the song tn the cabin of the New Venture.* Thank you, Hui-ry," rire returned with a trill of eHili laughter. “And I du UMture you I know other songs.” Willi that «ih«\wai< gone. Yet 1 hud a feeling I had niwer known before that she wns 111 with me, and I stepped into the water with joy in my heart.

I asked angrily. ’Tu-wan ne-ars had no wish for sleep,” l»e returned. “Nonsense," I retorted- “You cannot go Indefinitely without rest." "I had my thoughts for company,’’ h? said simply. "They are not happy thoughts, brother. They would not let me sleep. Yow search is ended, broth­ er," he added. “What do you mean?" “Tbe fix* you sought has been found. It to ue longer sick."

STRENGTH — ACCOMMODATION - SERVICE State Savings Bank LOCAL NEWS CHURCH NEWS Daphne usually went into the tea-room st midday. table where he waa lunching, it meant a sudden sense of elation. Daphns's hair was the color of cop­ per in the firelight and her entire cos­ tume, even to the low heels of her exquisite shoeu, was of the Identical shade—pure, unblemished copper. "Why on earth can’t more girls know what they look well In?" mused Vantyne, and while Daphne studied her menu his heart thumped for he caught sight of an enormous topaz on her engagement finger. , He followed her out when she left the tea-room because he felt that be absolutely must watch where she went —it seemed the must vital tiling in life—that he should know something more of this wonder girl. He saw her atop for a moment in front of a toy shop and an amused smile flitted across her lips at something she saw. A second later she had vanished into one of the great buildings that bouse, for one thing, the exquisite premises of “Lewis," a name to conjure up dreams of loveliness to the feminine heart and nightmares of bills to the masculine mind. In tbe center of the window was a doll dressed in the exact costume that the girl herself was wearing. There were other dainty dresses for dolls, all extremely artistic. Vantyne went forthwith into the shop and demanded to see the doll In the window. ‘•The one dressed in brown." he added feeling frightfully embarrassed, since be had -never bought a doll In bls life. Then, because the girl serving him was young and happy like himself, he asked all about the doll and was told that a yonng lady of the staff of Lewis designed the costumes after those of Lewis. “We have the sole right to the dresses Miss Watenon makes," the girl added, not without a touch of pride. “Would It be possible for me to in­ terview tbe young lady? I would like a lot of dolls, like this, for—er—my nieces." Vantyne was not too good at fabrication and stumbled a bit “The business would go through you, of course," he supplemented. Vantyne unconsciously selected his most atrocious tie und sallied to the address of Miss Waterwn that very evening. When Daphne entered the boarding­ house lounge and saw her caller. II. Vantyne, a queer little smile came into her eyes. Much lay behind that smile, but Vantyne was not to know about it just then. He was so consumed with the joy yof seeing her again that he almost for­ got the ruse that had brought about the meeting.

"It seems funny—my telling you this." "I don’t want to know It—If it's funny. I don't feel like listening to anything humorous," she pouted. “You said It was romance." “It is—the most beautiful romance In the whole world." he said, solemn­ ly. "Joo were a tiny girl—a wee baby in arms and—your mother had wanted you to be a boy." Helen sat up and was about to pro­ test when he soothed her into acquies­ cence again. "My mother had been disappoint­ ed because I was a mere boy when she had always wanted a daughter. Our mothers had been friends since college days. They had confided In each other and when each one was frustrated tn her wish for a child of another sex—they still confided. I don’t know just how It all came about, dear, but little by little you and I were exchanged. I would go to your mother for a week. You would come to mine and so both mothers learned to love us almost equally. It was gorfd for us both, as I see it now. You remember when we went to the village schdol bow you used to visit at onr house when I was at yours?" “Yes—and the fun I used to have with all your things," added Helen. Then we went away to college and —well, you know we seemed to grow apart. Your mother, for the first time, appreciated the value of a love­ ly daughter—" “I bow," Interrupted Helen, In mock humbleness. “And my blessed mother began to be nroud of a big son. There was a certain, well-controlled jealousy In her attitude when I used to want to go to your house so much during va­ cation. and I noticed that when you came to visit us, your mother came along. It was amusing—then." “But what happened after mother took me to Europe? Did they quarrel —or what?" asked Helen, serious, now. “Yes—I never knew exactly how It came about, but my mother must have ■eld something about your belonging to her eventually, after all. Meaning, of course, that you’d marry me—“ "The idea.” began Helen with as­ perity. "Walt a minute, dear," consoled Ned. "It has all come out right, hasn’t Itr Helen had moved away and - was wearing n disturbed expression. “If Td known that—that—that my own darling mother didn’t want me to mar­ ry you 1 never would have promised. I was just going against her." . Ned was several minutes trying to tell her to wait until he eould explain. “Before you came back from abroad, your mother and mine ha! written many letters that cleared the situation for them and they fell Into each others’ arms when you returned. Each one declared that we—yoH and I—were made for each other and that a kindly and wise Providence had ar­ ranged it. all—that we had been brought up with rhe same background, received the same sort of education and been given the same vision from home. They decided that they were selfish to have quarreled and—well, that each of them had gained, at last, her heart’s desire. Yoar mother war to have her son and mine was to have a daughter. I don’t mind saying that I think my mother is getting the best of the bargain, dear." “I can’t subscribe to that, but I do think mother might have told me all about It." "I believe she was afraid, deep down in her heart, Helen, that If you believed she had picked out a hus­ band for you while you were still In your cradle, you would have none of him. She was wise in keeping her se­ cret wishes from you until It waa too late tor you to holt," laughed Ned. "And It la—»oo late—isn’t itr Aa excellent new photograph of The President and Mr*.

EXCURSION “GOOD EQUIPMENT MAUS A GOOD FA1MEK BETTER’ Niagara Falls NEW YORK AND RETURN Friday, February 4th Good In Good In Sleeping or By JANE OSBORN UNE sst before the desk in ber rather shabby little bedroom, pen in hand, a sheet of note paper spread before ber. She intended to write to Rodney Mapes—but she found her­ self absently filling the sheet with the initiate J. EL D„ "Jim Edgerton Dar­ row. Jim Edgerton Darrow," she wbls pared to herself. ' Yesterday had been her birthday and Roduey had sent there to the girls' boarding school, where she served as an instructor, a box of gor­ geous red roses and a brief little note In which be bad told hef of this love and begged her to become bin wife. Jim had let the day pass with­ out euen a note—yet June knew per­ fectly well that he had known it was her birthday. Obviously Rodney loved her—and just as obviously Jim didn’t. During a wakeful night June bad almost decided to write accepting Rodney's proposal—there was so much about him that she admired, so much that she almost loved. June tore vp the note paper Into fine scraps and threw them into ber wastebasket. 11 was late afternoon. She picked up an afternoon paper and Idly began to scan its pages. There was a sec­ tion of one page devoted to rather in­ sane sort of advice to the lovelorn. Sleepily June began to read. There was an answer to a young woman obvi­ ously suffering from the pangs of un­ requited love. "I am sorry to say," ran the advice, “that there to no way to make a young man fall io love if he to not disposed to do oo. Thr best thing to do it to try to forget" June didn't read the rest of the an swer, but her sleepiness vanished, and In Its place came a deep feeling of re­ sentment toward tbe woman—or man —who wrote the advice. If course It was possible to make a man love you June had read once that any girl, providing she was not positively re­ pulsive. could win the love of any man who was not already In love. June firmly believed it If the girl did not succeed It was because she did not use the right tactics. Take Jim and herself. Of course she could make Jim love her. The only trouble was that she bad not gone about It In the right way. She had already tried to win Jim’s love by making him jealous—by being cold and indifferent. She would now try the effect of mak­ ing him think that she really did care for him. Without difficulty now she went to ber desk and wrote a little note to Rodney, in which she told him as kindly as possible that while she was very fond of him, she did not want to marry him. She mailed it and then called Jim up at his office. "Hello, Jim." she said archly. "You know yesterday was my birthday.

We know of people in Nashville, who have had rather a tough time of It to raise their tax money. Some cf them have been merchants, too, and people engaged in various lines of endeavor. It has been a hard time on working­ men, some of them. This is always the case. However, taxes must be paid, and in some way or other we manage to pay them. The greater bulk of our taxes are for schools, pavements, side­ walks, sewers. city water, lights, etc., all of which we vote on our­ selves. The state taxes will not us­ ually vary much from ten per cent of our total taxes. We have schools, sidewalks, pavements, city water, parks, etc., because we want them and are willing to pay for them. But. as a recent issue of the Clin­ ton County Republican-News at St. Johns says, there te ode person who lives largely off the small town, who doesn't worry about taxes. That's the peddler and order taker who drops in from nobody knows where, uses the pavements and side­ walks our money have built, takes his profits and flits. We quote from the article in the St. Johns Republican-News: "What make a town? "What makes a community? “It is the people—the people who band together. They form a gov­ ernment. They «build pavements, sidewalks. They tyiild schools, sewers, churches. Men buy or build stores. They put in stocks of goods. They share together with the people of the community the expenses of the various things that make a city worth living in. They patronize their neighbors. They give to the charities. They support the church­ es. They pay a large share of the taxes. They Invest their money in industries ‘that employ men. To­ gether with the residents of their community they share tbe burden and work for the betterment of the boys and girls, and men, and women —their neighbors and their friends. They pay and pay liberally of the taxes which make these schools, sewers, and sidewalks possible. "But where does the peddler come in? "But where does the peddler come in? "Dear neighbors, and particular­ ly housewives who are dally called upon to meet this tax-dodging In­ dividual, please remember these things the next time the door bell rings. Just as a pleasant way of opening the conversation, ask him how much his flrm contributed to the new hospital. Ask him what church in St. Johns or Clinton coun­ ty hts firm contributes to. Ask him if his firm thinks that the taxes in St. Johns were a little high thjs year. Then, if the conversation lags, inquire the amount his firm's assessment was on the loe Pond drain* which is to be built to take care of surface water in St. Johns so that he will not have to wade puddles to get to your door. "You can ask these same ques­ tions of any merchant in St. Johns and get a definite answer. They are your neighbors. They are your townsmen. They share with you tbe tax burden of this city and coun­ ty and state. "No wonder the peddler smiles as he takes your money and sends it to his boss down in New York, Kokomo, Dayton, Pittsburgh or Podunk. His boss takes <t and helps to build pavements in his city—not your own city, St. Johns or your own county, Clinton. “The Republican-News has no enmity against those people who are peddlers. The question is not a per­ sonal one. It is public and eco­ nomic. When men and women hand together in a community, a village or city is tbe result. Their welfare is mutual—Just the same as it is in an army. If they co-operate; if they are loyal to each other, all benefit. In whatever measure they fall to do this. In just that proportion they are defeating themeelves. "The peddler's receipts are sent away to build up other towns and cities. The same thing is true of money sent to mall order concerns. Everything that is worthwhile in this city and in this county is the result of the combined efforts and the combined Investments of our peo­ ple. "We all live together. Let's live happily. Let's stick together. Why should we build pavements for New York, or some other city? They are not interested in us. or our wel­ fare. They wouldn’t give a red cent for any local Improvement.” The W.

This streptococcus sore throat generally comes In epidemics and from two to five percent of the pat­ ients who have it, died because of it. The number of people dying because of its after-effects cannot be given. The germ probably comes originally from human beings, but it has been found that unpasteurized milk has carried It throughout the communi­ ties which have been ravaged by it. Most commonly, cows pass the germs through infected tissues into the milk, though occasionally it may be that human carriers infect the milk after it has been drawn from the cows. For from one to three days, after the germs have been taken into the throat, the patient does not know It. This Interval is called the incubation period. The germs being established, and quantities of poisons having com­ menced to circulate, the patient has a chill, headache and sore muscles. The temperature may reach as high as 104 or 105 degrees F. In severe cases the victim is very weak and in­ different—prostrated by the infec­ tion. The throat Is sore; it hurts to swallow and aches even when the muscles of the throat are quiet. The tonsils may or may not be cover­ ed by what looks to be an extra membrane or they may be bathed in pus. The glands of the neck which are not noticeable In health may be­ come swollen and tender. In mild cases the trouble may not last more than three or five days but in more serious ones it may be ex­ tended over many days or reappear when the patient thinks he is gett­ ing well. The prevention of this type of sore throat depends primarily upon preventing its spread and the best careful inspections of cows, the dair­ ies and employees and the use of pasteurized, not raw, milk. Individual prevention Hee in per­ sonal care of the general health. Rest, cleanliness, avoidance of stuf­ fy, overheated, poorly ventilated rooms at home, at work, or in amusement places, exercise in the open, and good food. One should not forget in thinking of personal hygiene that the avoidance of con­ tact with the infectio is of first Im­ portance and a most Intelligent pre­ caution.

I was an amateur at casting the ax, but this was no time for hesitation. I flung It with all my might, and yelled the nearest approach I could compui to the war-whoop. The tomahawk struck one of the Keepers with the flat of.Its blade, fell­ tag him. The other savage turned quickly and loosed bis arjow at me, aiming wide in his confusion. He stooped for his musket, but I was on him with my knife and he was forced to leap back and meet me on even terms.

But we paid scant at­ tention to him. Our eyes were fast­ ened upon the odd procession which emerged from the trail In obeUieoce to bis summons. First walked the negro Tom, a huge pack bowlug his enormous shoulders. After the .negro, Ln single file, came eight Cahnuagaa, each with a large pack braced on a gs-ne-ko-na-ah, or burden frame. They carried their muskets in their Landa. "We've gut U> Lurry if we’re goin' to get everything ferried over the swamp tonight," grumbled Bolling. "Waail, wbat’s bttin' ysuF This question was addressed to a Cahnusgu who, in 'mslluglug hla bur- den frame, had chanced to see the ar­ row In the ground which the Keepers had shot in their first, attempt to bait us. The Cahnuaga pointed silently to the green-feathered shaft “By —!" swore Bolling with a start “D’ye see that, Tom? Something's happened here." Bolling glanced about him uneasily. “The Keepers have gone, that's sure," he announced. "What most likely happened was some party broke In here, and the Keepers chased 'em.” He chuckled wickedly. “Ain't no blood nor nothin* around, so it 'pears likely the Keepers got the Jw qd 'em.” Ta-wan-ne-ars, who had been oc­ cupied in extracting arrows from a quiver and setting them in a row be­ fore him with points lightly thrust into the ground, now notched a shaft "Shall we begin, brothers F be whis­ pered. “Hold your fire until 1 run out "Ja," agreed Peter. “Budt do not shoot Red Jack or det nigger. We will safe them If ws can." "You can take on the negro," I spoke up; “Leave Bolling to me." Peter looked doubtful. "He Is a goodt knife-fighter," he commenced to argue: but Ta-wan-neara chose that moment to open his bomba rd meat. and the Dutchman's re­ monstrance went for naught. A green arrow streaked across the grove and buried Its barbed bone bead in the chest of one of the Oahnuagas. The man shrieked and tore at the shaft with his hands. His companions scattered right and left. But Ta-wan ne-ars gave them no respite. His shafts filled the air. Tbe green ar­ rows drove into the packs, quivered In tree trunks, pierced another unfor­ tunate. Tbe Cahn uagas let off a ragged vol­ ley which whistled over our beads. Ta-v’an-ne-ar« discharged the last of his arrows and reached for his musket. We saw two of the Indians collapse. Peter caught up his second musket and be and Ta-wan-ne-ars shot again. Twas impossible to miss. Besides Bolling and Tom, only two of the enemy were left. “Knife and hatchet for the rest," said Ta-wan-ne-ars grimly. “Are my brothers ready?” / Peter answered him with the Iro­ quois war-whoop, and we sprang, from the sumac clump, dodging right and left through the tree trunks. "Here they come," yelled Bolling in warning He fired his muqket, and I felt the wind of Its bullet on my cheek. Tom shot with no better results. The two surviving Cahnuagas threw away their guns and fled. “I will take care of them, brothers," shouted Ta-wan-ne-ars, casting aside his own muskeL "One Seneca against two Cahnuagas—that should, be fair odds.” He put on speed as he spoke, waved his band and was gone, running like a greyhound after the two frightened savages, who were scurrying around tbe swamp. The field was left to Peter and me and the two rufflians whom the frontier called Red Death and Black Death. They seemed nothing loath to "Ho. bo, bo,” roared Bolling. "D'ye see who it is, Tom?

The suspension in his attack gave me opportunity to glance over my shoulder toward the edge of the swamp, where Peter and the negro were circling each other warily, toma­ hawk poised for throwing.

"Ye pore baby," he sneered. “Think ye can meet a knife-fighter like me with one arm? Or fight me off with the point? Ill show ye." He charged upon me like a batter­ ing-ram, his knife a whirling point of steel, its broad blade slashing tn both directions. I retired slowly, anxious to increase his self-confidence. "Sland up to me now!" he yelled finally. "B4 ye fefifedP* • I laughed at this, and It made him furious. He stamped around me, slashing and stabbing, and It was sev­ eral minutes before he discovered that however viciously he struck I was al­ ways able to parry him with an econ­ omy of effort He crept forward like a huge cat feet spread wide, shoulders crouched, knife a menacing flame. Somewhat to his surprise I did not give ground to him this time, but met him squarely as he advanced. My arm was extended, full-length, tipped with a good ten inches of steel.

Naohrille suffered one worst fire 1 oases In her history Wednesday night, when her beauti­ ful school building was totally de­ stroyed by fire, together with all Its contents. The tire was discovered about 3.45 In the morning, by Jonah Raaey, who gave the alarm. Engineer Hullinger saw the tire from his home on the hill a£ about the same time, and ran to the engine house and blew the “Mocking Bird.” The tire must have been burning the best part of the night, for the fire de­ partment was quick in answering the alarm but found the whole interior of the building one maae of fire, and not a single article could be saved. The building was erected in 1884, at a coat of about >8,000, but could not be duplicated now for >13,000.

Jack climbed into his car, came down town, purchased the gro­ ceries and then—lugged them home by hand, w^h much difficulty. When he carried ’ them into the house, DROPPED them on the table, made the remark to Mrs. Furnics: "It is a regrettable fact that the grocery merchants don’t run delivery wagons so a feller wouldn’t have to carry his purchases home the way I have just had to do." Strange as it may seem, Mrs. Furnlss wanted to know why Mr. Furnlss didn’t bring those gro­ ceries home in his own car Instead of carrying them—the car was right down town, almost in front of the grocery store.

Calvin Campbell of Indian River has introduced a bill which would transfer the 5-cents per acre tax on state lands, now paid to the counties, to school districts and town­ ships. Senator Chet Howell of Saginaw, who last year moved up from the House, Is after radical changes in the laws governing auto drivers, in a bill recently introduced. It would revoke licenses for nearly all of­ fenses; aiming particularly at viola­ tions of the liquor laws, and provides jail penalties for driving while the license is suspended. A bill introduced by Senator Howa»d Baxter of Grand Rapids would have the state see that children born out of wedlock are supported and educated by the father. The bill is strongly drawn and would provide for extradition of fathers who had fled to other states to avoid paying the penalty. Mr. Baxter claims the state should see that these children should have a chance in life. A bill introduced by Representa­ tive Frank Darin of Detroit would permit metropolitan newspapers to charge regular commercial rates for state advertising, outside of that arising out of judicial proceedings. The anti-saloon league proposes to make jail sentences mandatory for liquor law violators, and to permit officers to secure search warrants upon affidavit that they had smelled brew or liquor fumes.

Th3 Democratic state convention, held at the Hotel Olds Tuesday, brought together leading democrats from all over Michigan for a real love feast. The gathering was very harmonious and decidedly optimistic. They have decided to elect the su­ perintendent of public instruction at the coming spring election and al­ so a senator to succeed Senator Fer­ ris when the proper time arrives. Attorney General Potter claims the state from individuals, corpora­ tions and counties, and he proposes to make it part of his business to see that this money H collected.

Conservationists of the state, including members of the legislature, the department of con­ servation, are getting together and evidently are trying to cooperate with Governor Green In an effort to make real conservation an outstanding feature of 1927 and subsequent years. It is a big problem of educa­ tion and legislation. A committee from the Senate went to Ann Arbor Friday noon to attend the funeral of E. V. Chilson, former secretary of the Senate and for sev­ eral years assistant secretary of state. Mr. Chilson, who died in Florida, was one of the beet-loved men in pub­ lic life in Lansing and numbered his friends in the state by thousands. The. legislature, both branches, broke all season's records by going to work Friday morning right after an early breakfast. About all the work done was to adjourn until Mon­ day night, which doesn't mean any­ thing, as there won’t be a quorum before Wednesday, on account of the Republican state convention at Grand Rapids. AUCTION SALE. L. E. Pratt will bold an auction sale at the Carl Moon farm, four miles south and a half mile west of Nashville, on Wednesday, March 9, commencing at one o’clock sharp.

NUMBER 32 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MET MONDAY EVENING The February meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held at the auditorium Monday evening, with a very pleasing attendance. Af­ ter a substantial and thoroughly satisfying meal served by the Clover Leaf Club, the meeting was called to order by the president, C. L. Glasgow, and the evening was spent in listening to the reports of the different committees and discussing the activities proposed. The club decided to take action in several mat­ ters of particular Interest to the community, and committees were named to take charge of the work. ADMITTED TO U. S. SUPREME COURT. E. Kidder, Assistant Attorney General, Takes Oath Before Chief Justice Taft. Arthur E, Kidder, former Nash­ ville attorney, now Assistant Attorn­ ey General of Michigan, has just re­ turned from a trip to Washington, where he went last ' with a company of engineers and officials, who were called from Michigan on account of the great Boulder dam proposition, which has occupied the attention of the U. 8. senate for the past two weeks. The Michigan men in the party were Capt. John Stephenson and Hon. A. C. Mell lek of the Detroit common council, George H. Fenkle, chief en­ gineer of the Detroit water board. Perry A. Fellows, Detroit city en­ gineer. D. C. Lillma, chief engineer of the Michigan highway department, and A. E. Kidder. These Michigan men joined repre­ sentatives of nearly every other state In the Union in advocating the Boulder dam bill, know as the SwlngJohnson MH, which was bitterly fought In the senate by the state of Arizona, which wants a big slice out of the builders of the dam. The fili­ buster killed the project tn the sen­ ate, but that does not by any means mean that the proposition is dead. It will be taken up again at once and there Is no doubt that the dam will ultimately be built. Gifford Pinchot, former governor of Pennsylvania, and one of Ameri­ ca’s foremost advocates of conser­ vation of natural resources strongly endorsed the project to erect a great dam on the Colorado River. He said: ’’The harnessing of the Colorado River is one of the greatest con­ structive conservation enterprises ever undertaken by any people. The Boulder Canyon project is the *first‘ (continued on page four.) PROGRAM FDR MEETINGS AT ADVENTIST CHURCH. The meetings being conducted by Evangelist W. C.

Almost one-fourth of a banana is starch and sugar. In addition, a banana contains a email amount of protein, a trace of fat, and a small percentage of mineral matter. When buying bananas be sure the stem end is left on, thus making it a sealed package. Benzine and naptha give off very explosive vapors and require the same precautions in handling as gas­ oline. Never use as a container for such liquids a glass jar, bottle or other receptacle likely to break it dropped or struck accidently. One of the reasons why children should play out of doors in the sun is that in this way they may obtain the ultra violet rays contained In direct sunshine. These important, health-giving rays, which have been found so necessary to the health of both men and animals, are screened out by ordinary window glass.

Friendly Tips on Whist In bidding your hand, you have a legitimate right to expect your part- And if he fails to do so, it isn't your fault—he's simply a “bum" helpmate. When an opponent trumps the first ace you lead, you’ve almost got a perfect right to suspect that he's nigging— At least you ought to ask him if he’s playing strictly according to Hoyle. And once in a while he’ll be “the gentleman" enough to admit that he “ISN’T". Passing your deal over to an op­ ponent isn't always considered an act of courtesy— It’s more apt to be looked upon as strategy. However, when the cards get to "running", all you need is patience— And perseverance— And endurance, but don’t forget— That the real meaning of tbe word “whist" is SILENCE— Which undoubtedly accounts for the "silent” partner in almost every game.

East Lansing, Mar. 1.—That the time and depth of plowing have a marked influence upon the tonnage of beets produced per acre is indi­ cated by experiments which' have been conducted by the farm crops department of tbe Michigan State College. Beets which have been planted on fall plowed ground have averaged a production of a ton an acre more than beets grown under similar con­ ditions, except that the ground up­ on which they were planted wae plowed in the spring. The depth of plowing also has a great influence upon the tonnage of beats produced. The trials showed that each two Inches added to the; depth of plowing increased the yield approximately one ton per acre. Ground plowed six inches deep yield­ ed one ton an acre more than ground plowed four inches deep. Eight inches of depth tn plowing gave a crop one ton heavier than was obtained from a six inch depth orplowing. and two tons heavier than tbe yield obtained on a tour inch depth of furrow. Ground plow­ ed 10 inches deep yielded one ton of beets more than the ground where the depth of plowing was eight ’ "* inches. Growers of sugar beets are i ed at planting time of the price which they will receive for their [. -----8. C. crop. It is pointed out by the M. men. Any increase in tonnage of beets adds to the profits which the grower will realize on the crop. Ground which cannot be fall-plowed should be plowed early in the spring, and as deeply as possible without turning up the sub-eoll. AMATEUR GARDENERS TO IJCARN NEW WATB. Beautification of the Home Grounds Will Form Baals for ML S. C. ' Short Coarse, Mar. 21-20. East Louring, March 1—Ways of beautifying the home grounds will be studied by *’amateur** gardeners of the state who will gather for a spe­ cial short course at Michigan State college March 21-26. In addition to the ornamental side of the course, material of a more utilitarian nature will be offer­ ed along general gardening lines. Everything from rose culture and flower arrangement to vegetable va­ rieties and fertilizer problems will be included in the class discussion. Many householders and garden enthusiasts, both men and women, are expected to take advantage of the opportunity to get first hand in­ formation. The departments of hor­ ticulture and landscape gardening at M. 8. C. will continue to furnish the lecture and laboratory work. The short courses at the college are open, without charge, to any one in Michigan over 16 yearn of age. STATE COWfi SHOW PRODUCTION BOOST. East Tensing, March 1.—Dairy cows under test in Michigan’s 104 cow testing associations excelled all previous state records in milk and butterfat production averages when they produced an average of 861.8 pounds of butterfat and 7.534 pounds of milk for the year closing Decem­ ber 1, 1916. More than 28,000 cows were under test. scattered over 63 Michigan counties. The average Michigan cow according to the U. S.

THE MONEY MAKER HURON COUNTY FAR­ MERS MADE MONEY WITH— ESSEX CRYSTAL DWARF Sweet Clover The name is derived from Essex County, Sacramento Valley, Cal­ ifornia, and the first known crops in the eastern states were pro­ duced by the Huron County growers in the Thumb of Michigan Seed experts and anologists familiarize it with the widely known Grundy County Dwarf Sweet Clover, except that the Essex Crys­ tal Dwarf Sweet Clover is an early ripener, its color of the plant differs and that It is a larger yielder on all types of soil than the other clovers. Essex Crystal Dwarf Sweet Clover has many outstanding advan­ tages. It is about four weeks earlier than the common Sweet Clover and grows much smaller more branchy and leafier and has finer stems. It seldom grows over three and a half feet tall. It produces finer hay in large quantities and it is a better seeder, yielding as high as 25 bushels per acre on large acreage. It ripens early, generally about tha let to 6th ot August, thus providing an excellent land cleaner prohibiting weed seeds to ripen with it. The seed is smaller than the common Sweet Clover so that it only requires three fourths as much seed or from 8 to 16 pounds per acre. It is a wonderful seeder producing an average of 20 buahels per acre. Tests have proven that this seed win produce a vigorous growth on sand, clay, loam or muck soil. In quality of Hay It equals alfalfa with a greater yield per acre. It also makes excellent pasturage for dairy or beef cattle, sheep or* horses. The stock thrives readily on these fields. In using this Clover while still green makes one of the best soil rebulldere when plowed down. This we believe is a valuable addition to the lists of forage plants. This Clover is grown by the Huron Clover Association and seed can be obtained from the NASHVILLE CO-OP. ELEVATORNashville, Mich.

Last Friday night the Nashville high school debating team met and defeated the Plainwell team. Our team consists of Ruth Bassett, Eliza­ beth Smith and Cliff Williams. Dr. Shilling of Kalamazoo Normal judg­ ed the debate. This is the fourth eta*e debate that Nashville has had this year and our team as been victorious every time. There are only thirty-one oth­ er teams in the state with an equal record, and on the eighteenth of this month these remaining teams will meet at various places for another elimination debate and the sixteen winning teams will debate at a later date. We expect the next debate will be In our own town, although we have no definite Information as to (he opponents or the place. The members of our team are working hard and hope to be one of the re­ maining sixteen after the next con­ test. However, they will receive a state trophy for the success already achieved, and If you will watch the Detroit Times you will find the pic­ tures of the team and a statement of the fine record they have made. We believe in giving credit where credit is due and we want to call your attention to their coach. Miss Thorlakson, as well as every member of the team is set on going as far as possible for state honors, ana back of all her hard work is her excellent training for the position that she holds. Miss Thorlakson attended high school at Grand Forks, North Dako­ ta, and later graduated from Wheat­ on Academy, Wheaton, Illinois. She then received her A. B. degree from Wheaton College and since then has attended the Minneapolis Training School, at Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has attended the summer school at the University of Wisconsin for two summers, doing graduate work for a degree of Master of Arts. With the splendid combination of a live team, a coach with such splen­ did qualifications and the communi­ ty giving the right kind of support, Nashville stands a good chance of winning very high honors in the state. If the debate is here the 18th of this month, do not fall to attend and let the team and coach *know that we are back of them.

SEITZ GETS TOUGHEST EXTRAS FOR -ICE FLOOD” "Give me one hundred of the biggest, hardest, roughest looking men in Hollywood.” That was the curious order sent to the casting office at Universal City by George B. Seitz, director of “The Ice Flood," during the making of that picture, which is to be shown at the Star Theatre, Sunday and Monday: The hundred rough-necks were needed for lumbcr-camp scenes in the picture. Seitz demanded the worst looking lot of extras he could find, for his script called for "the tough­ est lumber camp in America.” When the 100 extras put in an appearance next morning, they would have frightened a police sergeant or a Chicago gunman. Almost all were six-footers, possessed of scraggly beards, low, eloping craniums and shoulders which measured several feet from tip to tip. In contrast to this display of masculine brutality, Is Kenneth Har­ lan, who plays the leading role in the picture,, and can be a two-fisted gent and handsome at the same time.

Sparta, Wis.; and Fort Sheridan. 111., began on March 1, and is now wide open for any boy who desires a 20 days vacation, living in the op­ en. and receiving instruction in all kinds of athletics, target practice, swimming and life saving at the ex­ pense of the government. Michigan's quota for the C. M. T. C. this summer is 1878, which is larger than ever before, and every­ one who has anything to do with enrolling young men for training this summer is anxious to have the entire quota filled by May 15. Mich­ igan has never received its quota, but Colonel Raymond Sheldon, chief of staff, 85th Division, who will com­ mand Camp Custer next summer, and Lieutenant Colonel Wade Millie, ci­ vilian aide for Michigan to Secre­ tary ot War Davis, who have charge of Michigan’s enrollment tor the C. M. T. C., are sure this state will go over the top this year. ...... Colonels Sheldon and Millie have the support of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the United Spanish r*r veterans, the American Leg­ ton, and many other veterans and pa­ triotic organisations together •with the 3,160 Ozeem officers in Michi­ gan in their efforte to get Michlgan’e quota this year. The first big en­ rollment of the year came from the Union Trust Co., of Detroit, when F. W. Blair, president of the com­ pany notified the C. M. T. C. head­ quarters in Detroit hie company would oend 25 boyu again thio year. “Incidentally we are confident that such training is real peace insur­ ance,*’ Mr. Blair says. “Should any of our 21 boys who went to Camp Caster last summer ever be called to the colore for service, we are con­ fident that they and their country will be grateful for the training they received during time of peace. If they are never called, which we sin­ cerely hope, their services as citizens and community leaders will be bet­ ter because they have learned the lessons of obedience,, discipline and regularity at Camp Custer”. Another Detroit banker has come out solidly for the C. M. T. C., and in a letter to the Michigan head­ quarters, Richard P. Joy, president of the National Bank of Commerce "I am in hearty sympathy with duH, languid military training and preparedness. No sane man deeiree war, but It can­ not be avoided by disarmament. The best method of avoiding war, is to make the United States respected by all the nations of the world because of its power.

KANE MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY. May 27, 1854, there was born in a Christian home, a baby boy. They named it George Griffin Johnson. I was the child of many prayers. My grandfather and grandmother and my father and mother were all Christians. I remember one morn­ ing at the family altar, while moth­ er was praying, I caught a fly and pulled one wing off, and laid it on the chair, and I was tickled to see it buzz around. Soon mother asked the Lord to bless little Georgie and make Aim a good boy, with tears flowing down her face. I never for­ got it. I wanted to be a Christian. The Methodist class leader would come to me In the class meeting and say: "Well, my little boy, do you love Jesos?" I would get up and say: "I love him.” One Monday morning a new scholar came to school. First thing before school the big boys got us fighting. I downed him and began pounding him. They said: "Oh, let him up, you whipped him.” Then my broth­ er called me a little hypocrit—that condemned me. When I was sixteen years and one-half old, I had a yoke of young oxen to break in. I had a hell on earth that summer. Father would whip me and I would whip the oxen, and would cuss father and the oxen, and every thing I could think of. I said to myself: "If I was of age, I would run from home.” Father, sister Sarah, brother Phil­ ip and I went to campmeeting that fall. The preacher preached hell and damnation that afternoon. I was like the Philippian, I repented and cried unto the Lord, and He turned my hell to heaven. I had such a vision of heaven I never could describe it. I laid under the power of God far some time. When that vision was past I was a new man, in Christ Jesus. Old things passed away—old things became new. To know the Father, Son and Holy Ghoet is to have heaven here on earth. . G. G. Johnson. : The meanest trick a woman plays on her husband is to increase his stock of family connections. It costs a man a lot to live up to his ideals.

Of Unknown Origin The question as to what country the Basques are from is still unsettled. There is no doubt as to the extreme antiquity of the Basque settlements «n the Pyrenees.

The first session was occu­ pied mainly by the speech of Do-neho-ga-weh, explaining wby he had summoned the council and pleading for authorization of tbe sending of belts to the other nations of the League so that the Ho-yar-na-go-wnr might be convened. “You have beard my cause.

Let tbe counselors of the people decide what course is best” Tbat night the messengers were dis­ patched. and as they passed from na­ tion to nation, the People of the Long House stirred with expectancy. On tbe heels of the messengers flowed a steadily swelling stream of men, women and children. The delegates of the Senecas found the Great Trail already choked with humanity when they set out from Nunda-wa-o n week behind the messengers. Senecas and Cayngas met and mingled with Oneldas, Tuscaroras and Mo hawks, and Onondagas viewed tbe ex traordinary confluence of people with grave interest. It must have been a week after our arrival that To-do-da-bo proclaimed the meeting of the Ho-yar-na-go-war for the next day. In tbe morning the del egatlons of the Six Nations left their headquarters, and marched with slow dignity to the council ground, a broad meadow on the edge of the forest above the river valley.

Only seven pupils were in school in the second grade on Monday, but the number was doubled on Friday. We hop« all of them may be- back next week. Pussy willows and robins are quite at home in the second grade room. Billy Hecker brought the^ second grade a piece of redwood, so they could see its color and grain. They are studying tbe use of trees. . Most of the third and fourth grade have returned to school, after hav­ ing measles. We have a new motto, taken from our reading in tbe fourth 'grade: "Only Cowards Say: I Can’t; Only Fools Leave/Work Unfinished.” We are going to have neither cowards nor fools in our room this spring. /The third grade are studying the table of sixes. Dr. L. C. Barnes talked to the high school Wednesday afternoon. Later he talked to the Senior class. The best books read this week for seventh grade Literary club are as follows: Riders of the Purple Sage, by Zane Grey: To the Last Man, by Zane Grey: Mark and Eaton, by Jack London; Jo’s Scrap Book, by Louise M. Alcott; Goldhunter. by James Oliver Curwood; The Eyes of the World, by Harold Bell Wright; English Orphans, by Holmes: Last of the Great Scouts of Buffalo Bill, by Helen Cody Witmore and Zane Grey; Little Robinson Crusoe by Par­ is and Julia Olcott: Heritage of the Desert, by Zane Grey: Little Lord Fauntleroy, by Burnett. The sev­ enth grade will start the study of the "Vision of. Sir Launfal, by Lowell, Monday. The seventh grade Is rapidly re­ turning to school, leaving thrir measles behind. The Nashville five were defeated at the tournament Thursday night by Otsego. However. from records, of Otsego, it can be said that Nash­ ville gave them the hardest battle they have had this season. Hard luck in shooting baskets, and no place to practice can account for Nashville's defeat. Oratory and Declamation. Wednesday afternoon there was a Oratorical and Declamation contest held at the school. Helen Brumm, Doris Isberg, Richard Graham and Cliff Williams were tbe declatmers. Helen Brumm took first place and Cliff Williams second. Helen will go to Grand Haven April 8 and take part in the sub-district contest. Her alternate is Cliff. Mildred Caley was the only orator so, of course, she will represent Nashville in tho sub-district contest Both Helen and Mildred will ra­ ce! re fine dictionaries with their names printed on them from the De­ troit Free Press for winning these honors. We all hope that they will win first place In the sub-distrlet contest, so that they may enter the State contest. gins to say things about himself. CO^TRT HOUSE NEWS.

GLASGOW COOLIDGE COURAGE. It took real courage for President Coolidge to veto the McNary-Haug­ en farm relief Mil. Had he con­ sulted his own political fortunes .he could have allowed the' measure to become a law, and afterwards, when the defects began to show up, could have justified his position by hiding behind the action of the senate and the house that passed the bill by big majorities. President Coolidge is not built of that kind of timber, he preferred to take the responsibili­ ty of preventing what he believed to be an economical mistake from be­ coming the. law of the land, rather than to aid his candidacy next year. Many believe the measure should have been given at least a trial, for­ getting that once an Idea is incor­ porated into law and the machinery for its operation eet in motion it is almost impossible to bring about its repeal. Many Michigan farmers may be disappointed in the action of the President, but they should hark back to the time when Michigan wheat and ^Michigan dairy farming was saved from Canadian invasion by tho action of President Coolidge in raising a tariff wall to prevent our local market from being flooded by Canadian products. Michigan im­ ports wheat, corn And other grains for feeding purposes, and it is hard to understand why Michigan farmera should wish to consent to tax­ ing themselves for the purpose of maintaining fixed prices for western grown wheat and com, as well as southern grown cotton. The Mc­ Nary-Haugen bill at the best was a sectional piece of legislation, and in view of that fact the farmers of this state should feel that the President did right when he Insisted that if prices were to be regulated by legis­ lation, then the cows, the pig* and the hens of this state were entitled to the same sort of protection. Never judge a man's greatness by the opinion his neighbor has of him. When some men do favors they never let you forget It.

The bill appropriates a million dollars to be spent within the next two years in erecting a new asylum on state-owned lands in Lan­ sing. It is proposed to discontinue the Pontiac institution, wreck the buildings, which are said to be in poor condition, and sell the lands, whch are claimed to be worth >2.000,000 or more. Senator Chas.

Qt‘ the 3,000,000 acres now affected by the pest, 900,000 are in Michigan, so that practically one-third of the ten million government appropriation will probably be spent in this state.

Mr. Reed has also Introduced two bills affecting the publication of elec­ tion and registration notices. Both branches adjourned Friday noon until Monday night at 8 o’clock. Life From The Side Lines By “Little” Fike Two half-truths don't necessarily constitute* the whole truth. Not Intended for Our Ears. Says Bert Smith to ’‘Big" Fike over on Main street the other day: "Say Fike, you and I can't stand to do a hard day's work any more, like we net to.” P. 8.brief comments. Evidences of Spring: Buds beginning to bud. Hoads beginning to dry up. Cowslips about ready to shoot out of the ground. The maple syrup season going to be mighty abort. Streaked snakes and leap frogs galore. Birds from the southern _ dime twittering in our tree tope. Coal bins nearly empty. Ice gone out of the lakes. (Attention, Mrs. D. H.

The "hoss” race for mayorship was nip and tuck— With, the loser only 23 seconds behind. And Right in the Day-Time, Too. Several hold-ups reported by traveUngmen the past few days. Of course most of these highway­ men make it optional for a feller— he can either pay the price or re­ main sitting in the mud. There’s nothing compulsory about it, you know. But, let us look at both sides of the matter. A feller is usually mighty thankful to get some feller to haul his car out of a sink hole, re­ gardless of the price—and he usual­ ly carries away a mighty friendly feeling for that feller, too. However, on the State trunk lines, one is apt to sort of naturally get the impression that it is up to the state maintenance department to furnish free service where a sink hole Is so bad that it is impossible for any car to’get through without getting etuck. Some mud holes the past few days have proved themselves to be “gold mines” Instead. It makes a feller feel he is put­ ting his money in a sinking fund. ’Smatter Carl. Need Exercise? Or the wood, which? Carl Tuttle was seen drawing wood in an express wagon a few days ago, from over in the general direction of Lew Lentz's wood pile. Of course Carl might have stopped at his father-in-law’s wood pile. Don’t know. Twin License Plates. Chas. Mapes evidently doesn’t be­ lieve in doing things by halves, or was just trying to make It easy for the auto cops. Put two licence plates on the rear of a Pontiac Six so Norman Howell could take it out on the roads tor a try-out. Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder. Over in Barryville way—they say there is a woman—who had a real —Boston mania for dogs — ——Bull ----- dogs, to be exact. The lady, being born under the lucky star—at last found "such” a dog—which proved to be —the pride of her heart. Every­ thing was lovely—and fine—-and the dog was smart-+-and cute—UNTIL —the awful mud came—and then It was discovered-—that the dog was lazy—and just wouldn’t clean its feet. The lady loved tbe dog—dear­ ly—but she just simply couldn't sold him. But when the dog was gone—imagine tbe lonesomeness that prevailed—when the friendly canine smile—was no more. After the husband had milked the Jer­ seys—fed the chickens—and done the other chores—he spent his time —trying to make things—not so lonesome—about tbe house. But the woman—would not be comforted— and so—the busband had to go— and buy the dog—back again. Now —the dog has permission—to come into tbe house—and walk across the carpets—with its muddy feet—and tbe lady is happy again. Governor Green endorses the pro­ position to have some of the Michi­ gan institutions use Michigan coal, in an effort to encourage the in­ dustry in the state. An appeal was made by Warren G. Pippin and Geo. C. Eastwood, representing the coal operaton?, and had the endorsement of Senators Augustus H. Ganaser and Chester M. Howell.

DISKED OAT LAND HARBORS CORN BORER Farmer* in the areas In New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, where clean-up mess-. ure* are to be taken to control the European corn borer under the pro­ vision* of the Corn-Borer Act recent­ ly passed by Congress, are advised by the United States Department of Agriculture against the practice of seeding oat* in corn stubble which ha* only been disked. The sowing of oats or small grain either In the spring or fall on disked com stub­ ble provide® favorable living con'dtttpns for the European corn borer and therefore Is a danger spot in the corn-borer control work. The disking of these fields has been found to kill only a small per­ centage ot the borers and in addi­ tion to this the growing grain furn­ ishes Ideal protection and shade for the borer as the season advances. This spring. In the effort to pre­ vent tbe spread of the corn borer to the Corn Beltf the deep plowing of corn fields and the turning under of all corn remnants will be one of the most effective ways which may be employed to destroy the borers. Fields in the proposed control area, that already have been plowed or seeded to oat* or winter wheat in standing stalk* will have to be giv­ en special attention. Such stalk* should be cut with the stubble ehav­ er or mower, cutting within two Inch­ es or lee* of the ground. The stalks should then be raked up and burned, taking care to get all looee stalk and corn remnant* in the clean-up. If necessary, a atubble beater should next be used to destroy the stubble thoroughly. Where only a few stalks are found, they can be taken up with a sharp hoe or corn knife, and collected in sacks or baskets to be burned.

It was masterly, superior even to tbe address by which he carried his own people with him. He explained succinctly the situation which existed in New York. A Cayuga responded, expressing amaxemsnt that the English, who were usually so sens­ ible, should act In such a childish manner. He concluded by asking if the league might expect the help of the English tn an attack upon tbe Doom Trail. This was the most difficult point we had to overcome, and Do-ne-ho-ga-weh replied with circumspection. Tt Is true, as my brother has said." he answered, “that we might expect the English to move with us Id this matter. But my friends among the English send me word that their people are blinded for the moment by the falsities of Murray and the French.

"Because It Is to the Interest of our people to act even more than It Is to the Interest of, the English," retorted Do-ne-ho-ga-weh with Impassioned en­ ergy. “Already the English are more numerous than we are. They have strong forte We have only the forest. They have brothers across the Great Water who will aid them. We have only the uncertain aid of our allies and subject tribes. ■The decision Is In your hands. If you fight for the English you will sur­ vive and grow stronger. ' If you fight for the French or If you do not fight for the English, you will slowly be crippled and in a little time you will be no more feared than the Mohicans or the Erie*. "Na-ho • That was the last speech of the day, and the council adjourned, only, as In the case of the Senecas’ tribal council, to dissolve Into minor councils of the roy-an-ehs of the different clan groups. When . the ^representatives of each tribe had re(*4»d the unanimity which was required by (tjie laws of the League. they discussed the situation informally with the roy-an-ebe of the other tribes; and on the fifth day Todtwla-bo delivered the rommon Judg­ ment of the roy-an-ehs. / “Murray and the- Keepers of the Doom Trair fire' the enemies of the Long House.

My attention was; diverted to a young Onondaga who iattempted to ex­ plain something to nje In his dialect. Seeing I could not / understand. Tawan-ne-ars approached and listened to him, a look of astonishment creasing his usually impassive face.

"How did she happen to choose you?" He protruded his chest. "Who better could she select than Baptiste Meurler?" he replied. "North of the Lakes everyone knows Baptiste Meurler—and I am not unknown to the Iroquois." “But how did mademoiselle hear of you. Baptiste?" He shrugged his shoulders. \ “Who can say?

You will be detained here for a time, and I will purchase for you a sufficient number of beaver pelts to defray that And, turning to Ta-wan-ne-ars, I asked him to give the necessary In­ structions to the Onondagas.

It shall be as you ask. Cor­ laer shall guide me to the Doom Trail. How many warriors are to go with you?" We debated this point together, and decided that for purposes of swiJt movement and secrecy we had best re­ strict our escort to twenty men. Done-ho-ga-weh approved this number. "Do nothing, if you can help It un­ til we have begun our attack," be said. Tf you must move without us. rely upon flight, for you cannot hope to succeed by fighting.” Our party mustered at dawn the next morning. It consisted of twenty stalwart young Benera Wolves, each man seleftjed by Ta-wan-ne-ars for strength ffitod wind. In addition' to their clothing and weapons each man also carried two lengthy contrivances of wood, with hide strips laid across them. -’What are they for?" I asked as Ta-wan-ne-ars presented me with a pair and showed me how to fasten them od my back so that the nai rower ends stuck up over my head. "Ga-weh-ga—snow-shoes.” he replied. “In the wilderness, brother, the snow Iles deep, and we should sink down at every step once the ground was cov­ ered after the first storm. You must learn how to use the ga-weh-ga, for otherwise you would be helpless.” We kepr our purpose a strict secret, even from the warriors of our escort They were told no more than that they were given an opportunity to go upon a hazardous venture which should yield them fame and a proportionate toll of scalps. That was all they wanted to know. Ta-wan-ne-ars was a leader they bad fought under before. 1 was assigned a wholly undeserved measure of fame because of my recent adventures in his company. We marched rapidly. For three days we averaged thirty miles a day. and each day, when we camped, I practiced with tbe snow-shoes on some level bit of ground, learning how to walk with­ out catching the points and tripping myself. We had not gone very far on the fourth day when O-da-wa-an-do, the Otter, a warrior who had attached himself to me. pointed through the leafless trees toward a graylah-white bank which was rolling down upon us from the north. “O-ge on-de-o." he said. "It snows." Fifteen.minutes later the snow be­ gan to fall. Driven by a piercing wind, it descended like a vast, enveloping blanket, coldly damp, strangling the breath, blinding the eyes, numbing the muscles. We struggled along against It until we came to a hillside scattered with large boulders. Here we halted and built ataltors for oursrivsn by rsofing the boulders with pine aapttngs we hacked down with cur tooaMwk*- t’rtWF TffMFJWth ftfFFYWIfif tf rttfr feet, we made shift to resist the cold. The enow fell for the better part of two days. so thickly as to preclude traveling, and taring that time we dnred not stir from shelter, except to collect flrowood. In the evening of the second day the storm paused, and the stars shone out in a sky that was a hard, metallic blue. “We have lost much time, brothers,’’ said Tn-wan-ne-srs. “and we have had a long rest. Let us push on tonight." Our progress was slowed constd erably by my clumsiness on snow­ shoes. But The Otter and other war rlors went to considerable pains to help me. picking out the easiest courses to follow, quick with hint or advice to remedy my ignorance. I be­ came profldent enough to travel at the tall of the column, although my com­ panions could never march as rapidly ns they would have done without me. The wilderness which was traversed by the lKx>m Trail was deserted becru^ of the universal Indian fear of the False Faces. Ta-wan-ne-ars and I dlacnssed this point as we neared the forbidden country, and I suggested that he tell hla followers our deatlna Hon. . He waited until we were a long day's march from and well to the northwest of the goal. Then he gathered the warriors nbout him as they mustered for the trail. “Soon. O my brothers." Ijf said In tbe musical, cadenced Seneca dialect which I was beginning to take pleas ure In understanding, “we shall strike our enemies. It is n desperate enter prise you go upon. No war party ever set out to risk such heavy odds. No warriors of the Long House were ever called upon to practice Buch caution, to reveal such courage. "O my brothers, we are going Into the Wood of Evil, the haunt of the False Faces, which is the breeding place of all the wickedness that brands the Keepbis of the Doom Trail. You will ,'ace much that is horrible. You will he threatened with spells and witchcraft. But 7 ask you to remem­ ber that my brother O-te-tl-an-l and I passed through all such perils without harm. Keep your hearts strong." “Yo-hay." muttered the warriors In guttural assent. “We will keep our hearts strong. O Ta-wan-ne-ara.” Their faces were more serious than before, but they exhibited no signs of fear. We moved much more captiously now that we were near our journey's end, with three scouts always In front, one on either flank of the path we trod. But we saw no signs of other men. al­ though many times we came upon bear tracks. Toward evening w*> struck the waters of the tumbling little river through which Ta-wan-ne-ars and 1 had waded that night after Marjory had released us. Scouts returned to report not a foot­ print In tbe snow. We ate a little parched corn mixed with maple sugar and some Jerked meat we carried in our haversacks. About midnight we efi moved feuward, Ta-wan-ne-ars leading the line. The oaka and elms, maples and wil­ lows, which had composed the ele­ ments of the forest, now gave place to tall funereal firs, whose massive jade green foliage remained untouched by the Icy breath of winter. Grotesque shadows darted vaguely over the white ground as the trees swayed and groaned. In the distance an owl hoot­ ed solemnly. The Otter touched my shoulder. “Did you hear the owl r he mur­ mured. "Yes," 1 whispered back. “It Is cold for an owl to leave hla tree bole." He threw back his bead, and I Kturted at tbe fidelity of tbe repatttlOQ. "Tc. w^s Tubes r We ttstemd, bet ctesrs vrea a» Bwef? Instead, after brief Interval, the bowl of a wolf resounded. A few yards farther on the owl hooted again. The line halted, and tbe warrior In front of him whispered that Ta-wan-ne-ars wished to speak with me. 1 passed by him and several others and came to where the chief stood, peering, or, trying to peer. Into the night. ' "There was something strange about the owl, brother." he said. "The war­ riors told me that the Otter answered It, yet It did not reply. And then the wolf—” A yell as of flends from hell shat­ tered the mantle of silence. Flames spurted through the firs, and In the gleam of the discharges and of torches thrown Into our midst I had a fleeting glimpse of hideous masked figures bounding between tbe tree trunks. “Keep your hearts strong, brothers of the iA>ng House,” shouted Ta-wanne-ars. •‘They are only Oahnuaga dogs. Stand to 1L” He fired as be spoke. I imitated him. Our men shot off a scattering volley. Then the False Faces were amongst us, coming from all sides, springing out of the ground, dropping from the very branches overhead and wielding their gu-jr-was, or war clubs, with dreadful effect. (TO BE CONTINUICD : MY IJTTLE BIRD. My little bird came back today From sunny southern climes; Perched on my window sill and sangThose old familiar chimes. In melody so s«ree< and clear, She tells me in her way That she will build her home quite near And cheer me, day by day. She makes me feel that God is near To guide me on my way; She brings to me great joy and cheer, And drives dull care away. There is no sound I ever heard —Though vesperai bells may ring That cheers me like my little bird When she begins to sing. Oh tell me, bird, when did you come? Have you flown o’er vale and hill To reach my home, and build your own Upon my window sill? Tell me, too, my little bird, Did tbe songs you sing so grand Cheer one poor soul, as they cheer me —Way down in Dixie land? Tell me, bird, tell me I pray. Whore did you learn to sing? Those notes so sweet as masters play On fickle violins? “1 left the southland long ago; I flew o’er plain and hill, To reach your home, and build my own Upon your window sill. I sang to those In Tennessee, And many triends I made; I trill'd way down In Florida Among the^everglades. But I left 16e southland long ago, I flew o’er vale and hill, To reach your home, and rear my own Upon your window sill.” Now sing to me, my little bird. On yonder bending limb; Sing, just why. beneath blue sky. There’s sorrow, death and sin. Tell me, too, my little bird, —Your secret I will keep— Tel! me, tell me, tel! me true, How can you sing bo sweet? You make me feel that all la right. That all Is well with me. That I may reach some harbor bright Beyond a glimmering sea. The pearly gates may swing for me, And other birds may sing, But this one bird is dear to me, E’en when she’s oa the wing.

Nashville citizens have a warm spot In their hearts for the __ Salva_ .. . tion Army, and Mr. William John Purdue, state Welfare officer, found a ready response on the part of our Nashville people to cooperate with him in raising tbe >200.00 budget for this town. He is being1 assisted by a commit­ tee of citizens, who offer their ser­ vices in raising this budget. Mr. C. W. Pennock is chairman; Elwin Nash, secretary, and Mr. Carl Tuttle, treasurer. Any money handed these gentleman will be sent to the Salva­ tion Army headquarters at Grand Rapids, and will be properly receipt­ ed for. The Army is doing a wonderful work in this state and Barry county has been the beneficiary In many ways through their wonderful or­ ganization. One item alone that should cause the citizens of this town to rally to the local committee in raising this budget is the fact that 11 Barry county girls were taken care of In their very efficient hony? and hospital at Grand Rapids. The work cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, and we plead with our citizens to stand by the Salva­ tion Army In their noble work, and don’t let it be said that the Salvation Army had to beg for money to do such good work as they are doing. A final report will be Issued in this paper as soon the drive is complet­ ed, and anyone wishing to know more of the Army work in this State or County can get this information from their representative. William John Purdue, 227 Pearl St., Grand Rapids, Michigan. To date, >98.00 has been raised in just a few hours, and we trust that those willing to give will hand their contribution, be it however small, to Carl Tuttle at the Farmers & Merch­ ants bank, or to Mr. C. W. Pennock, or Mr. Elwin Nash. Please do this for the sake of those who are un­ able to ask for themselves, and our good citizens will find that they have made a splendid investment In ser­ vice to humanity. A THRILLING NOVEL.

He early developed an Inviolable rule In regard to film "doubles" or the practice of using substitutes In dangerous parts where the picture calls for "stunts”. Hi* rule is never to use them. If you dare not do them yourself, don’t ask some one else to do them for you. Some of the "stunte" that he was called upon to do Ln "Senor Daredevil” were breath-taking to say the least. At one time he nearly suffered a broken leg because of Ms determination to use no doubles. While on location at Lone Pine, Cal., a fall from a tree sprained his ankle so severely that for three weeks he was unable to use It.

ITEMS The Eighth Older Boys Conference at Nashville last Saturday was well attended and everyone felt that the meeting was most helpful and voted to hold a similar one next year. The following officers were elected. President, Lee Myers. Nashville; Vice President, Kirk Hamilton, Hastings; Secretary, Lewis Brown, Prairieville; Treasurer, Russell Ken­ yon, Woodland. The discussion, groups were very helpful wherein the boys talked over with each other and a leader the problems as they see them in their present envfroment. The addressee ot Mr. Stanchfield, a former Y secretary of India, were very challenging, and the leader­ ship of the state men was most pro­ fitable, while the local men were very essential to the success of the conference. I mention Mr. Barnum and Mr. Smith of Woodland, Mr. Jennings, Rev. Harris, and Mr. Hagaal of Middleville, Mr. Kendall of Delton, Mr. Devereaux, Rev. Bing­ aman, Rev. Wright, and Rev. Barkalow, of Nashville, Mr. Harry Cheese­ man of Dowling, and Mr. Snow, and Mr. Putman of Freeport. The Girl Reserves of Nashville, who gave the delegates their noon lunch, will nev­ er be forgotten, and the banquet served by the ladles of the Evangel­ ical church was fine. The Y group led by Mr. Devereaux deserves most of the credit for the successful con­ ference along with the hospitality of all Nashville. The next big county meeting for boys will be the Farm Boys Confer­ ence held at Dowling, April 23, all day closing with an evening banquet. Farm boys only are delegates at this conference. 12 years of age and up with their teachers and leaders. We expect to have the Woodland school band on the program. The Y group at Prairieville wfH made an educational visit to Kala­ mazoo next Saturday and visit the Parchment Paper mill and the city Y. M. C. A. for a swim and some games. The sipging at the Boy’s Confer­ ence was good because of th© help of Karl Keefer, Paul Rood, and Mr. Phillip Collins at the piano. Also the music by Rev. Kendall on the harmonica was very enjoyable. Kent county has an Older Boy’s Conference this week end at Cedar Springs. C. F. Angell was In Lansing Fri­ day attending a state meeting ot county secretaries. WORK IN NEW FILM CURES KEATON OF FISTIC AMBITIONS Satisfying Ix>ng-Standlng Desire for Fighting in "Battling Butler," Star Says, "No More." Buster Keaton had a youthful am­ bition to be a prize fighter. Since the age of three, when he began touring the world with his father and mother In a vaudeville act, un­ til 1919, the youth regarded a cauli­ flower ear as a badge of honor rank ­ ing with the Congressional Medal. Now he's glad his father dragged him back to the stage every time ha tried to sneak away and fight pre­ liminaries. Actual experience baa taught the frozen-faced screen com­ edian that professional boxing is all right for somebody, but not for him. For Keaton has made a picture of love and the prise ring.. It is "Battling Butler,’’ well know to theatre-goers as a New York and London stage success, coming to the Star theatre Bunday and Monday. Not only has Buster created the pic­ ture role of a chap who turns prise fighter In order to win "the girl,” but he trained as diligently as If he had to fight for a living.

WHY I GO TO CHURCH I go to church because it is a great privilege, and- for the reason that 1 meet some of the best people on earth—not the .fact that they are all angels, because this is not true, and 1 for one do not wish to be an angol. I just wish to be a redeemed man. I also go to church because it Is my duty as well as everyone's duty. Everyone should go and con­ tribute their share toward the bet­ terment of the world, and if we have the Christ within, the present chaos will eoon disappear, as the following will show. / In these days when war clouds are overshadowing the greater part of the world it is gratifying to read in the papers the cable dispatches that Sweden and Belgium in concluding the royal alliance between Princess Astrid and Crown Prince Leopold have sealed the friendship sf the two nations by a formal compact never to go/to war over any ques­ tion that may arise between their countries. In order that there may be no mistake concerning the inter­ pretation of the compact. It is add­ ed that the two nations pledge them­ selves to push aside every sugges­ tion of war, even though the vital interests and national honor of eith­ er or both should be involved. These two nations have set an example to the other governments and the clvllzed world. Great oaks from little acorns grow, and the pledge to ad­ just all differences, no matter how important, by friendly arbitration should not be without its Influence. It Ir 1 earned that a somewhat similar compact Is now In force, which includes Sweden, Denmark and Finland, and that Norway has also a compact of the same nature under consideration before Its parli­ ament. These men of the North, many of the old Viking race, are setting a lesson to which the world may take heed. They have seen the folly and wickedness of war and have applied the ineffaceable stamp of outlawry to any course that might lead to an appeal to sword and can­ non. Herein Hee a lesson for the warlike nations who are strengthen­ ing their armaments and those who have already began the clash with fate, but the desires of nations will augment the desires of other nations till the kingdoms of the world will become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ. ’ e Jesus shall reign until the sun Shall hta successive journeys run. His name shall spread from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. —,Albert Lents. NASHVILLE MARKETS.

Bryce says: “The people have resolved to put certain rules out of tho reach of tem­ porary Impulses springing from pas­ sion or caprice, and to make these rules the permanent expression of their calm thought and deliberate purpose. It is a recognition of the truth that majorities are not always right, and need to be protected against themselves by being obliged to recur, at moments of haste or ex­ citement, to maxims they have adopt­ ed at times of cool reflection. Like all great achievements in the field of constructive politic®, and like nearly all great Inventions In the fields of science and the arts, this discovery was the product of many minds and long experience. Yet Its appearance in a finished shape, destined to per­ manence, was sudden, just as a li­ quid composed of several fluids pre­ viously held in solution will under certain conditions crystallize rapidly into a solid form.” The reason the average man can’t tell a woman anything is because she would rather talk than listen. tldent or careless car drivers. There is no excuse that rational people will accept, and while a great wave of public sympathy goes out to the victims there is a feeling in the background that some ne took an unnecessary gamble—lost, and paid the price. You, Mr. and Miss Car Driver, may be the next to get what's coming to you, but you bave no right to risk the lives of your compan­ ions.

'Her woeful countenance told me that her only thoughts were of the remains'of the object she held. The streets were soon covered with the tiny impression of rain drops.

One feature of the plan which, of necessity, cannot be divulged, Mr. Sherwood said, is a series of '’death traps” that will be arranged in each banking community. Another • • -feature is a system of road „ blockade that will Insure the appearance of 150 to 300 men on all highways within fifteen minutes after a bank is attacked.

Goaded into action—by the frequency of bank robberies in the state, the Michigan Bankers Association have determined to inaugurate a plan of arming vigilantes all over the state with rifles and pistols and training them in the use of theee weapons. The plan contemplates an armed organisation in every county, built around the sheriff. The vigilantes appointed will be sworn in as regu­ lar deputy sheriffs, but the arms and equipment will be furnished' by toe various county bankers federations. A reward of one thousand dollars will be offered in every county for the apprehension of bandits, dead or alive.

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY NO 4 My father was bom In Lincoln­ shire, England, the same year that Queen Victoria was boro. At the age of 12 years he came with his father’s family to Canada. The time came when be must build a home of his own. He took an ax* and blazed a path thru the forest, among the wolves and other wild beasts. He was a brave pioneer. Before he began to chop he knelt down and asked God to bless his la­ bors in building a Christian home. Ho built a shanty and took bls sweetheart to live with him,, which Is my precious mother, now living with Jesus, her heavenly Bride­ groom. Father told us children that wolves howled around that shanty many a night. But the Lord took care of them day and night. Father was a good farmer. He told the threshers one time he would give them 25 cents for evary ripe, thistle they could find in the whole bam full of grain. They did not get any money.

Social Items Girl Reserves By Georgia Bassett Last Monday evening about_fifty Girl Reserves met at the school building to enjoy a talk given by Mrs. C. W. Merriam of Grand Rapids. Besides Mrs. Merriam other out of town guests were Miss MacCracken of Grand Rapids, Miss Brown, and Dad Angell of Hastings. . Mrs. Merriam gave the qualifica­ tions of the ideal girl and discussed the relation of high school girls and boys, answering many ’ unvoiced questions. From a list of twelve qualities the girls voted the following four as the most important in their ideal boy: (1) Home loving; (2) Likes to work; (3) Moral character; (4) Desires children. Miss MacCracken. told us what the Girl Reserves are doing throughout the district. We then sang one of our Girl Reserve songs and adjourn­ ed, feeling that we had spent a worthwhile evening.

The object is to impress drivers of the need for wore care in driving. Representative Frank Wade of Flint sponsors a bill to prevent tak­ ing any statement from or making any settlement with any person in­ jured in an automobile accident un­ til the person had recovered. It is likely the counties will re­ ceive a larger share of the weight It’s the Flour Milk Sugar Pure Lard Yeast Scientific Process Experience and the and the and the tax money in the future, that the weight tax will remain unchanged and that the gas lax will fap raised to three centq, by a compromise bill to be drawn by Attorney General W. W. Potter, at the instigation of a conference held at a dinner meet­ ing held this week. There may be some heated discussion over the pro­ posal. but as It is backed by the ad­ ministration and the highway de­ partment it is more than likely to go through. Arthur D. Wood of Munising, re­ cently appointed sUte commissioner of pardons and paroles, has resigned as judge of probate of Alger county and Governor Green has appointed Richard W. Nebel of Munising to take his place as probate judge. The liveliest scrap of the week in the House occurred Wednesday af­ ternoon. over the Thomas bill, pro­ viding for ditching the present tax commission to give the Governor an opportunity of appointing new mem­ beys of the commission If he so de­ sires. John Espie, the Clinton war­ rior, defended the bill, as did W. J. Thomas who mtroduced it. while Representatives Ohas. Culver and Conrad Netting led the hecklers. Af­ ter a lively discussion the bill was passed to third reading. Senator Chester M. Howell of Sag­ inaw introduced a bill Wednesday which will provide for the payment to counties of non-trunk line awards due the counties for the past three years. It makes provision for the payment of 1712,000 to be made Id August of this year and the balance of $486,000 in August, 1928. The Senate has passed the Condon and the and the and our Do it Yourself!

Outside tho Legislative Halls. Governor Green Monday asked the legislature to complete three of five of the cell blocks In the new state prison, at an expense of nearly three millions, which he says will provide for the present requirements by us­ ing what is usable of the old prison, and will take care of the deficit of nearly a million dollars now in the red on the state’s ledgers against the prison funds, but he Insists on “pris­ on. not palace." Highway Commissioner F. F. Rod­ gers recommends to the administra­ tive board the construction of 39-ft. highways on trunk lines and 40 feet In the vicinity of the larger cities. A thrse-year program of construc­ tion is asked for, requiring S54.7M.000 and the surfacing of 1,392 miles nf road. It Is believed that n con­ tinuing policy would be a vast Im­ provement over the present plan of year-by-yeaf construction. Luck Is the trump card played by a fool. Superior Quality Loaf .

There was a lively discussion and many representatives reserved the privilege of explaining tbelr vote on the question. The question of selling stare lands purchased several years ago as a proposed site for a new Industrial home was also'passed by a vote of 68 to 18. President Little visited the legis­ lature Thursday afternoon and urged the passage of the University appro­ priation bills of $16,000,000. The measures are in the hands of the Senate finance committee. The mueh-debated capital punish­ ment measure, supposed to be dead for this season, may still be revived owing to the repeated demands from about the state, but the chances are against Lt. ;Both houses have passed a reso­ lution asking Governor Green to ileeignate a "C16an-up Week” for Michigan. Both bouses have also pateed the bill continuing the “Groat Lakes-Ocean” deep water way com­ mission. Both houses have now passed the Herrick potato grading bill, making many changes In the law, regarding grading and shipping potatoes. The labor committee of the House hae reported out the Wade-Bartlett workmen’s compensation to $18 per week. It is a substitute measure and will likely pass, although there is still opportunity for argument. Up-«tate legislators who can not very well go home for the week-ends are commencing to chafe under the long recesses. Most’ of them would like to finish up the work and go home. This spirit of unrest shows its effects in the longer sessions of the past week, and In the fact that the week-end adjournment of Friday morning was until 4 o’clock Monday afternoon. This has been the best business week of the session and next week promises to establish -a new record. Many a man Fwho calls himself conservative is only a coward. VON W.

Use a warm iron on wrong aide of the silk, and protect it with cheesecloth. Foods which stimulate the appe­ tite and promote digestion should be served at the beginning of tbe meal. That’s the reason many peo­ ple like to start a dinner with a light ell-fiavored soup. Fruit "appettirs” are also good. When choosing children’s gar­ ments, consider the durability of the material, whether or not it will laun­ der well and easily, and what pro­ vision is made tor the growth of the child. Can the child put it on and take It off himself. These points are just as important as attractive design or color. To clean upholstered furniture, either a vacuum cleaner or a brush ■lay be used. A soft brush is beet for velvet and velour, a stiffer brush for tapestry and other strong, firm materials. When convfenlent, take upholstered furniture out of doors eccaslonally and beat with a flat carpet beater. Have corn fritters once In a while. They go especially well with an all vegetable meal in such com­ binations as spinach, creamed onions and stewed tomatoes: or qulck-eooked cabbage, beets and mashed rutabagas.

Now, what put it in my head I know not. unless It wia the fact that in her letter to me Marjory had spoken of him as “Mr. Murray"; but I leaped to the instant conclusion that she was not his daughter. Sure, no man could have disposed of his own daughter so cold-bloodedly I “She is not your daughter in the first place,” I retorted boldly. “And In the second place, she has expressed to me her abhorrence of her marriage, as you know.” "Zooks,” he remarked mildly after an interval of silence, " ’tis strong lan guage that you use.

Some priests might do so, but I will never! Marrlagi- without affection Is adultery." "You ieap to conclusions, my good air," returned Murray. "The maid does not know her own mind. She Is a conquest for the Church, and her alliance with tbe Chevalier de Veulle cements the great work we are un- i dertaking together."

THAT UNNEOE88ARY TYPHOID MENACE The reduction in typhoid fever prevalence in the United-' States marks one of tbe most signal tri­ umphs of sanitary science. Forty years ago the annual typhoid fever death rate per 100,000 population in this country was over 50. For the last five years it has been under 10. Thus our chances to contract or die from this disease are now less than one-fifth what they ware. Among the 77 cities In the United States with populations over 100,000 there are 30 which had a typhoid death rate of less than 2 in 1925. In two .of them, Lowell, Massachusetts, and Scranton, Pennsylvania, the rate was 0.0. * In 1924, tbe latest year for which Federal Census Bureau mortality statistics are yet available, the ty­ phoid fever death rate per 100,000 population in our Registration Area (now comprising over 80 per cent of our total population) was 6.7.. The rate In the cities was 4.5 and in the "rural areas” (Including cities and incorporated towns with popu­ lations under 10,000) it was 8.6. Thus, it appears that typhoid fever is now nearly twice as preva­ lent in our rural area as it is in our large crowding urban centers. For the prevention of typhoid fe­ ver and other preventable diseases und for the promotion of general health to a reasonably satisfactory degree, whole-time, efficient, local health departments under the direc­ tion of well-qualified, whole-time. Lo­ cal health officers are essential. Our large cities generally have made good progress In the development of effici­ ent local health service, but most of dur rural communities are in this respect as yet woefully lacking. For efficient local health admin­ istration In our sparsely settled, rur­ al districts and our small ci-ties, towns and villages, the county seems the logical unit. It a whole-time and efficient county health depart­ ment were provided for every coun­ try wholly or largely rural In the United States and if our large city health departments were continued on their present basis of efficiency, typhoid fever could be attacked suc­ cessfully in its lines of entrenchment in this country, and soon thereafter a chapter in history could be writ­ ten on "The Conquest of Typhoid Fever in tbe United Plates." BE1GH SCHOOL NOTES The percentage of attendance this month was 87.6 per cent. The fifth grade are studying and doing project about the people of Holland. Our window decorations for this month are bouquets of pussy willows in each window with a different kind of a bird in each bouquet. We have twe charts for this month. One is “Brush your teeth twice a day." And the one who brushes their teeth the most gets a new tooth brush. Tbe other is a Bird Calendar and we are supposed to see which one can see tbe most different kinds of birds. The one that does gets a bird book. The seventh and eighth grades have started to study in their new Wrap’s Review books. The fifth grade are studying in their new “History of Our European Ancestors," and Physiology. The seventh and eighth grade are writing up stories of ten birds. We al! thank Mrs. Pennock for cleaning tbe acbobl house during spring vacation. Visitors for this month were Charles Furnlss of Hastings and Wayne Pennock. We made a poster this month of four wolves which are By and By, Don’t care, I forgot, and I can’t and the big dog “I’ll try," which is go­ ing to be our motto.

Dealley, publisher of the Dallas, Texas, News, says: That advertising may be used to help stabilise' business conditions, and to build public confidence ia conditions as they exist. Financiers everywhere agree that "booms" and "slums” are largely states of mind. The Dallas News, through Its Prosperity Zone adver­ tising, has established the Dallas trade area as a geod place for bus iness expansion and enterprises ev­ erywhere have been benefited by the information given out. To say that the territory itself has been bene­ fited at the same time is of course unnecessary. People like to read the things they may themeelves think. If bus iness la good it is a valuable thing to have somebody advertise that fact. So long as the newspaper is the voice of the people, the newspaper will be a first-class agent of this Job. In this, however, every advertiser should co-operate. The need today is for co-operative work along con­ structive lines, and a general adver­ tising effort to encourage business confidence is one of the biggest tasks that advertising can accom­ plish.

I have s*ood on tbe shelf and tick­ ed faithfully for jnobe than fifty years. I have seen many strange things. I will tell you about my adventure with the plate. One day as I was standing here on my shelf I saw the bluebird plate in the China cloeet crying. I won­ dered what could be the matter and finally decided to ask. So that night at twelve o'clock, when things are alive, I went over to call on her. She was sobbing till I certainly thought her heart would break. I Inquired and she said that when Ann had been wiping the dishes she had cracked her and she did not dare stir for fear of falling all to pieces. I said I would see what I could do. I went to tbe medicine cabinet and told him to go right over for the beautiful bluebird plate should not be allowed to fall to pieces. I then went to the kitchen drawer and ask­ ed her if I could please borrow some cloth. After obtaining that I Went to the work bench and asked for some tape. When I went back I found that tbe bluebird plate had not broken yet. I told the medicine cabinet to make a bed of the cloth while I fixed her up. I first applied some plate pain oil and platentine, then I put the tape over the cracks In the plate’s back. The medicine cabinet and I then laid her on the bed he had fixed. The next day the llttlo boy ran up against the China closet and I was sure I heard the plate fall all to pieces, but the next night the plate sat up. I found some glue that night and applied it and ever after the plate has sat In the China r"' ,closet like a statue. for examinations and then getting such u long rest," moaned the black­ board in a dismal voice.

But the conversation was cut short by the arrival of the fore­ noon English class. The children were especially gay because it was their last examination. The long school year was over.

Every­ one of those prophecies point to this present generation and there stop. We believe the prophecies concern­ ing the second coming will be as lit­ erally fulfilled as were those con­ cerning the first coming, and so have been warning the world for more than eighty years that the time is now very near and all who hope to have a part In the’ kingdom should be getting ready. Fourth—They believe that we are under grace and not under the law. Rom. 6:14. In other words salva­ tion is the free gift of God and there Throughout America for Gunn Is nothing man can do to earn it. This, however, does not release a man from keeping the law, but on the contrary is the only means to Insure his keeping the law. Let me illustrate: Man on account of bis in­ herited tendency to sin cannot obey God’s holy law. As a.lawbreaker he Is condemned to death. Christ comes, becomes his substitute and dies for him, redeeming him from the penalty of past sins. Christ then enters man's heart, takes pos­ Mr, session of his body and lives the di­ vine life in the human body even as he did in the body of Jesus of Naza­ reth, thus keeping the law In man. It is all a gift, it Is all accepted by faith, man does nothing of himself and yet to the world it looks as tho man were obeying God’s law. Fifth—Therefore they believfe that men who have been bom again should keep the Sabbath. Not as a means of being save fl, any more than they refrain from idolatry, murder or theft In order to be saved, but having been saved through faith in Christ, and having received Christ Into their hearts, that Christ who obeyed every pre­ cept of the divine law when on earth as Jesus of Nazareth will keep them all when He comes and takes pos­ session of us; for He ie "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever.’’ Heb. 13:8. Sixth—They believe that the Sab­ bath Is the seventh day of the week, commonly called Saturday. Ex 20:8-11 plainly tells us that the Sabbath is the seventh day. Do we knojv which day is the original seventh day of creation? Yes, most assuredly. We only need to go back as far as the time of Christ. Surely the Son of God, who himself created the earth and made the Sab­ bath would know whether they were keeping the correct Sabbath in his day. If we keep the Sabbath that He kept we are certainly safe. How do we know whether we are or not? By three very important proofs, all of which agree. Ps. 146:3,4, and many kindred texts fire renovates the earth, after which (a) The Jews in every country which describe death as a sleep out It Is made new, and In this new and nation are still keeping the Sab­ of which meh are awakened by earth God’s people will live eternal­ bath that Christ kept and they all voice of the archangel and the ly.

CAR PLUNGES INTO RIVER Mrs. Mildred Mater, who teaches the Feighner school, is spending her spring vacation recovering from a rather thrilling accident, which occured Monday afternoon, when the Overland sedan she was driving got. out of control and plunged back­ ward into Thornapple river, at the west aide of the Main street bridge. She was backing the car to turn around in the road, when the rear wheels dropped over the edge of the roadbed. The bank inclines aharply toward the water at that particular place, and Mrs. Mater just barely had time to open a door and clam­ ber out before the sedan took the final plunge. She stumbled and fell under the front wheel of the car. however, receiving bruises, which, together with the shock, have kept her confined to her home since the acident. The car, which landed in several feet of water, was easily salvaged with blocks and tackle. The driver Is extremely fortunate that the results of the mishap were, not more serious, and it Is in ex­ perience that she has no desire to repeat. MAHOKIC MOTES.

I Save Today’s Pay Today by JOHN PILGRIM He was making |28 a week, as he remembers, and had a girl, and lived In a hall bedroom which did not have space for his trunk, and had no particular hopes or ambitions. "You do not think much under those conditions,'’ Walter Brown told me. "You are deadened, somehow, by the dull facts of each day. Because anything better seems improbable, you bring a dead sort of pbUoeophy to bear." Then he Raw a sign one day when he was riding home in the street car. Sava tbla dor's pay to"Save one day's pay each day." Mind you, there was nothing then and is nothlhg now as­ cetic.about Walter Brown. But as he jolted homeward he argued to himself that one day’s pay would not greatly dis­ comfort him If he saved it. When he got only 824 a week he lived as well as on his Immediate 828. \ Well, he saved that day's pay from that day on. It was hard sledding sometimes. Especially when he changed girls and the new girl was still hopeful. But he saved the day’s pay. Because the saving sometimes came rather hard, he determined to get more out of the eared money than savings bank rates, and so he began to lock around. First thing he knew, ho knew a good deal about lo­ cal business. Then he ~ot a better job. Now he baa his own bank. "save todays’ pay today."

When you are tempted by wonderful claims, elaborate guaranties and a very low price to buy “cheap” paint, remember this: “Cheap” paint sells at a low price because it is low in quality—poor stuff. That’s the only reason a manufacturer can afford to sell at a low price. By the gallon it costs you less. But don’t let that fool you. It will cost you many times more than good old SWP on the wall—by the job and by the year—because it covers only about half the area per gallon—and lasts only about half as long. Come in and let us tell you the truth about the high cost of “cheap” paint-—why SWP House Paint is the least expensive. Wall Paper Varnishes * . Window Shades The Postoffice Pharmacy E. L.

In the moonlight, many cou­ ple* strolled under the cottonwoods. «o that when Jltn bent his head to enter the school house door, hl? appear­ ance was an event. Tbe voices of his friends greeted him. and some one started a little applause. Jim bowed gracefully, and the whole thing Was getting along splendidly, when some one exclaimed: “Ix>ok nt the school ma’m—she’s fainting!" Jim Blakehatn saw big Dick Forest awkwardly supporting a very small figure—there was n cloud of rich red hair tumhllna over her shoulder. “It’s Millie—my Millie!" thought Jim as he pushed his way forwn rd. but by the time he reached Dick For­ est. the girl had been borne away by ministering women. “That s|»oll8 your dance with the school teacher." tnunted Dick Forest “Believe me. boy. she Is some dancer, too." ■' The next morning all tbe men went rushing off to a long day’s riding, quite forgetting about the new school teacher.

He had made up bls mind that if Millie Gray appeared cold and indifferent, he would not be the one to try to arouse her Interest. Dreaming thus as his white pony ambled along the trail, Jim suddenly -heard n horse’s hoofs, and then, turn­ ing, saw the girl of his heart riding closely behind him.

How ridiculous!” She blushed warmly, hut her blue eyes were dancing with pure delight “Just Imagine, seeing yon here!" “Imagine meeting the only girl I ever loved out here In my loneliness." muttered Jim in a low, tense tone For a moment the girl stared at him unbelievingly. “Oh, Jhn Blakeham, do you really mean that?" she whispered softly. “Ah, Millie Gray, Mill!* Gray, my heart has ached for you ever since I left Leadenvllle—I mailed you a letter, and you never answered IL and so. I just pulled stakes and came out here—Is It true-^that you care?” He was bolding her hands jiow, and his hungry eyes naked questions. Millie hung her head.

THE DAYS THAT A MAN SHOULD IaABOR Rep. John Holland, north country legislator, has Introduced a measure which If enacted into law would pre­ vent manufacturing Arms from oper­ ating more than eight hours in any one day unless time and a half for any time in excess of this number of hours was paid employes. A few months ago a great deal of publicity was given Henry Ford’s idea of “five -day»-a-week” scheme for the labor­ ing man. but with men walking the streets in search of work in most of the large induetrial centers the idea seems to have died a natural death. It may be all very well to preach these doctrines of little work and much pay, but the fictitious values created must be eventually paid by eo mebody, so with all the rest of the world laboring under heavy burdens ot reconstruction and confiscatlve burdens let us thank God that we live in a country where a man con work six days a week and get six days’ living wage for his labors.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK By Edson R. Waite, • Shawnee, Okla. Wigginton E. Creed, president of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company which serves 59,000 square mliee in California with gae and electricity, says: That the motives behind the drive tor Unification and interconnection of power systems have been lowering costs in order to increase the use and availability of electricity for every­ one and service to the cause of In­ dustry and agriculture, which is the cause of the whole American people. That the results already attained stand as another wonder ot the world—production Increased, with more goods for everyone; the bur­ den of human toil reduced but the opportunities for wage-earners in­ creased; production costs lowered but high wages continued. That the fundamental underlying factor that has given ,the United States these social and economical advantages, which are now bring­ ing the reet of the world here to study and to marvel, has been the progress and development of the American power industry under pri­ vate, not political management. That unification and Interconnec­ tion have given and are giving this country an improved power service, a service which has directly contribu­ ted to the improvement of the living and working conditions of millions of people. “The slaves of electricty, answer­ ing the call ot American industry,” adds Mt. Creed, “have given the free worker the greatest capacity of pro­ duction ever attained in the history of the world, and with this increase in might has come to him a share In the comforts and luxuries of life far beyond the reach of his brothers In other lands." NOTICED A CHANGE A city man who recently went back to visit the farm where he grew up was disappointed in the stream that flowed across the place. It was much smaller than it used to be Worse still, there were no fish in It. When a boy, he used to catch lots of fish there. Now, though the vicini­ ty was as rural as ever, and there was no pollution in the stream, be found no fish at all. “Were the banks wooded when you were a boy?” asked a naturalist. “Yes, they were. There were plenty of fine, large shade trees, and big pools where we looped suckers were well shaded. But now the trees are all gone.” “Your question is answer­ ed,” said the naturalist. “Rains come as usual, but there are no trees to develop the m'oes and veg­ etable mold in the soil and let the water drain gradually into the creek, as it used to. It all goes into the stream with a rush, and carries off from the creek bed the vegetation and food on which the fish used to live. In flood times too thp fishes’ egg nests are washed away. So it becomes harder and harder for them to exist there. Naturally they give up. The survivors drift down stream and never come back." Which is just one more little reason for not deforesting the land. Why not leave trees along the streams, at least, if they must be ent everywhere else? NASHVILLE MARKET*.

The various parts would have fallen apart of their own weight. The railroads have united the in­ terests of the different sections, so that they get great benefits by adher­ ing to one government, while the in­ timate communication produces uni­ ty of thought to a large degree.

TKACH BOYS TO REFRAIN FROM TON LITTER CONTEST KILLING BIRDS i WINNERS CHALLENGED Most Valuable Lesson That Can be • Farmers Find Experience Lowers Pork Production Costs Inculcated in Young Minds There is no more fertile field for the Inculcation of the ideals of con­ servation than the minds of the young. Thia is proved by the pro­ gress that has been made in recent years Ln certain communities where campaigns have been conducted to educate the boys to rotrain from kill­ ing birds. In many places where dozens of youngsters carried a slingshot In their pocket a few. years ago attractive bird houses have been erected by tho boys of today and song birds are encouraged to make their homes In the cities rath­ er than out In the foreat wilds. Boys and girls are being taught more about birds and the creatures of the woods than they were a few years ago. They are being taught to protect rather than molest their friends of the forest, and aa a result it is possible to visit many commun­ ities where the birds, squirrels and other wild creatures have practically become pets because*>f acts of kindIn addition to teaching boye to re­ frain from killing birds with sling­ shots, they should also be educated along the line of sportsmanship in the taking of game and flsu when they get older. They should be taught that if the small and young fish are destroyed that there will be no big fish. Should Protect the Flowers Children should be taught that flowers, like animals, must receive a certain amount of protein in order to thrive. They should be told that a few flowers must be permitted to succeeding years. They should be taught that it is wrong to enter the premises of others and gather leaves in the fall or the blossoms of fruit trees in the spring. Thousands of trees are destroyed every year by people who break branches from them In the spring or fall for deco­ ration purposes. The promiscuous picking of wild flowers is almost as dangerous as tho habit of ruining trees to secure decorations. Chil­ dren should be taught to avoid do­ ing these things and when nature gets a chance the places that have been desolated by man will soon be­ gin to bloom again. The winner of the ton litter con­ test In Michigan last year is being challenged by farmers from many sections of the state, according to the entries for this year's contest which are being received by the an­ imal husbandry department at Michigan State College. The heaviest litter of pigs In Michigan last year tipped the scales at 3,107 pounds, but an Illinois far­ mer won the ton litter contest in that state with a Utter of 17 pigs which weighed over two tons In sim­ ilar feeding trials held throughout the country. . This contest is one In which ev­ ery contestant Is a winner. The knowledge gained by the entrants in feeding hogs for quick gains enables these men to produce pork at a lees cost in future feeding operations. Michigan farmers who want to enter pigs tn this year’s pork mara­ thon must have their entry filed by May 15. Verne Freeman, animal husbandry specialist at State Col­ lege, Is In charge of the contest. Reports gathered from all over the United States show that a high percentage of the winners last year owned purebred hogs or used pure­ bred sires on their farms. ASSIGN DATES FOR ACHIEVEMENT DAYS.

Grandmother knew precious Uttla concerning the vitamin content of cow-slips and dandelions but she was untroubled by such lack of knowledge. She liked cowsilp greens and dandelion greens- and turnip greens and dock greens and mustard greens, and beet greens. She be­ lieved that greens were good for folks, and therefore ahe fed her family greens though she could not have told you the basis of her be­ lief any more than she could have told you the theory of the fourth di­ mension. We of today have learned to look with mild amusement on grand­ mother's sulphur and molasses reme­ dy. But we do not smile at all when it comes to the matter of greens. We feel Instead a curious admiration for her and her knowledge of the many edible varieties of greens. Science has taught us today the tremendous importance of vitamins and minerals in our dfeL It has tought us all to eat the green leafy vegetables, especially spinach and dandelions and lettuce and chard. But most of us are dependent on a market garden, even for our dande­ lion greens. Not bo with grandmoth­ er. She went out into the highways and the byways and gathered here. She knew where to And the earliest water-cress. She knew edible dock from poisonous dock and ahe knew cowslips from buttercups. She knew how to kill two birds with one stone. When she thinned her turn­ ips and beets she gathered her fam­ ily greens. When she weeded out mustard and dock and dandelions she gathered greens again. For many of us the opportunity to acquire grandmother’s lore In this matter is forever gone. For most of us there will never be the oppor­ tunity to gather such greens as she did, even though we possessed the requisite lore, for cowslips do not grow on pavements. We lack her knowledge but we have our own. Wittingly today we consume our vitamins and minerals. For many of us they possess a mystic reminis­ cent flavor, as our minds wander backward to envisage grandmother in blue calico sunbonnet and apron, briskly gathering many varieties of edible greens. A prominent lady lecturer whose name is a household word, but which we appear to have mislaid, objects to the phrase "beautiful but dumb,” as applied to women, as be­ ing untrue. Well, of course, they ain't all beautiful. Gold Seal We are able this spring to offer Congoleum Rugs at prices lower than for several years.

And Conrad Jjagel hasn’t. Therefore the actor presented a pretty picture Inhaling yard after yard of the delicacy during the mak­ ing of "Tin Hats," the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture playing at the Star Theatre Sunday and Monday. Nagel's face looked quite normal while the camera was turning, but the moment director Edward Sedg­ wick said “cut," the expression changed to that of a drowning man. The sauerkraut was part of the "at­ mosphere” used In German cafe in a sequence of this story of the American Army of Occupation. Claire Windsor is featured with Nagel in "Tin Hats." and George Cooper, Bert Roach and Tom O’Brien are in the cast. The story is original by the director, and was adapted by Donald Lee.

The McNItt bill, barring the kill­ ing of deer In the counties ot Wex­ ford, Missaukee and Manistee for five years was passed by the House Thursday. While it has been thought that the Leland bill, supposedly a comprom­ ise measure which sets the gas tax at 3 cents and leaves the weight tax ride aa It is, would proceed regularly through both houses with the skids greased, there is apparent a move­ ment to stir things up again. A fourrent tax is now proposed by Repre­ sentative Town of Parma, and var­ ious members talk of, still other things, among them a much higher weight tax for commercial trucks and highway busaes, and there is no telling what the outcome of this mixup may be.

Mr. Ming says the proposition would take four repre­ sentatives away from Wayne county, but admits that it would give Wayne two more" senators. The vote against the. proposition was 56 to 31. How­ ever, on Thursday the vote was re­ considered on motion of Represen­ tative Wm. R. Farrand, and was also on his motion, laid on the table, so that it may be brought up again later 1f desired. Mr. Ming frankly states that his proposition is aimed at pre­ venting Wayne county, as Its popu­ lation Increases, from gaining com­ plete control of the legislature. If you have any chicken-stealing to do. better do it right away, be­ cause the Senate Friday morning passed a couple of House bills pro­ viding much more severe penalties for poultry thieves, and these bills are given immediate effect. As they will probably be signed by the Gov­ ernor as soon as he gets them, it is well to lay In your supply at once. Aside from these poultry bills the Senate passed a number of routine measures and some minor bills Fri­ day morning, and adjournment was then taken until 8 o’clock Monday morning. In the House a number of bills awaiting passage on third reading were passed for the day because of the Ugh. attendance, a number of members having been excused for the day and some others absent with­ out leave.

At the Bowling Green we en­ countered Peter Corlaw. “Ha, Peter,” tbe governor hailed him. “Well met, indeed. What hatli earned ns this honor?” "I beardt Ta-wan-ne-ars was here." he panted. “I followedt him down rlfer from Fort Orange." “What does Corlaer wish?” asked Ta-wan-ne-ars. The big Dutchman stammered and gurgled with embarrassment. •T go with you," be gasped after much effort. “I go to the Land of Lost Bonis.” “Ja, tha/s all righdt," returned Oorlaer. “I go with you." The hard lines of the Beneck's stern face were softened by a rare glow of feeling. “Ta-wan-ne-srs never doubted Oorlaer, Ga-en-gwa-ra-go,” he answered, squeezing Peter's hand In his. “He would not ask any to go with him be cause the peril Is great. But ha will be glad to have Peter by his side. We will take the first boat which leaves." “One is sailing from der Whale’s Heudt wharf,” suggested Pttar. “Good. Then we will say good-bj here." “No, no, ws' will accompany you to the wharf,” said the governor. "Where are you from, Peter?" “I was in der Shawnees* country when I heard! Tu-wan-ne-ars was go­ ing upon a long journey alone. So I go to De-o-nun-da-ga-a. andt from there to Fort Orange andt hare." “Have you heard aught of Murray?’ "Nien, Murray Is nefer spoken of. Der French would hafe none of him. They saldt he sailed from Quebec for der Ha fans.” “So are the mighty fallen,” mused the governor as we strolled along. “A ftw short months ago he was more powerful than I In the province. To­ day ha is nobody." We walked out upon the wharf where the sloop River Queene lay with her moorings slack. “Tumble aboard, my masters," shouted the captain. “There's a fair breese and the tide is flowing.” "Good-by,” said Ta-wan-ne-ara. “Gaen-gwa-ra-go and O-te-tl-an-i will be always is tho thoughts of Ta-wan-nears.” “Goodt-by,” .mumbled Oortaar. “Good-by for a wbHe,” retorted the governor. “We shall be ready to wel­ come you with rejoicing when you re­ turn with a brave tale to tell us." "Good-by," I called, and my voice choked. I raised my right arm In the Iro­ quois gesture of greeting and farewell. Ta-wan-ne-ars answered in kind, mo­ tionless as a bronse statue against the dirty gray expanse of the sail. The sloop dropped her moorings and glided out into tbe current. in ten minutes Peter's face was a broad white blotch at tho foot of tin mast and Ta-wan-ne-ars was a darker blur beside him. They nailed on into the eye of the netting sun. “’TIs the very spirit of this land. Ormerod," observed Master Burnet hp we watched.

D OSA GLADDING was beautiful and she knew II But s knowl edge of her beauty, added to her un happiness. If she could only have swapi>ed off a considerable |>oniob of her good looks—sometimes she told herself al) of them—for wealth' she would have been contented For Rona longed for the good things of thlt* world, was deprived of them and was convinced that she could never obtain them. It took money, lots of It, to compass the luxuries with which Rosa felt she ought to be sur­ rounded and she had no money, her parents had none and nobody tn her little circle of life had dny amount to speak ot. So, as she declared she would not marry for money, ahe just resigned herself to fate and made herself as unhappy as she could over It by way of revenge. . Her parents, while they were in . ordinately proud of their daughter's beauty, did wish she were more like other ‘girls, and quarreled with her over her scruples about marrying for money. * 9 Rosa’s parents had managed to give her a fair education f she had taken up stenography and typewrit­ ing and she was going to get a job nnd stick to It. “And,” said she. “if I get n job with an aged mil­ lionaire I am not going to vamp him and marry him for his money." She did get a job; but It was not as the secretary of qn aged plutocrat; it was tn a public typewriting office where about thirty girls were employed. Had she lived In Russia she mlcht have tunied Bolshevist and helped Back a palace. As It was her happiest mo­ ments were when she was alone by herself after work hours and let her imagination loose, dreaming of what she would buy, what she would eat and wear, and where she would go if she had wealth. Carter Blanding came into the of flee one day and wanted to dictate some letters. Rosa was assigned tn him. Carter looked at her, realized In a vague way that she was unusually good looking, and proceeded to bus! ness. Some little suggestions which Rosa made about the wording of the letters he was dictating seemed so in telllgent that be became Interested in her—was quite chatty. In fact, before he left. After that he came again, several times, and Rosa found her self being really agreeable to Car: ter Blanding. They became great friends. So much so that Rosa, at last, told him of her suburban home and said that he might come out and take her for a motor ride the ensuing holiday. “He is poor, of course," though! Rosa; "but what of It I might as well be resigned to fate. Poverty with—with him—wouldn’t be so bad after all.” There was every reason why Rosa should consider Carter to be poor; or at least very moderately off. There was nothing in what he dictated to Indicate bls possession of wealth, and he even went so far as to say that tbe only reason he dictated bis letters Instead of writ Ing the»n himself was because of a sprained finger of his right hand. When he came out to take Rosa to ride he came in a flivver, driving himself. Rosa had often longed for town cars and limousines; hut the flivver seemed a limousine to her— she thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Carter was ten years older than Rosa, that Is. to be exact, thirty-five. He seemed much older to her. Somehow she felt as If ahe had known him for years and. becoming quite confidential, toid him of her dreams of wealth and luxury: that they had embittered her life, and that she was determined to let such phantasies bother her no more. They had known each other three months by this time. "So you would not marry a rich man. even If he’ asked you?” com mented Carter. "No,” replied Rosa, "unless we hajK pened to be In love with each other, and even then I should hesitate, fear ing it was his money and not him •elf. I loved.” "Would you marry a poor man?" went on Carter. "Why. yea, If I loved him,” said Rosa frankly. ■ “Well, Pm poor; I’ve only got a million.” said Carter. “Win you marry m«F "Stop this car, right off,” cried Rosa, “and let me out. I'll walk home. You have taken advantage of my confidence.” “No, I haven’t” said Carter dog gedly. "You said you would marry a poor man if he loved you and you loved him, and that you would marry a rich man under like circumstances. A million isn’t much In these days. But It is something, of course. You can consider me In either class you want to, rich or poor. Uncle Jabez. who is a trust ‘magnate.’ thinks I’m poor; my chsuffeur—I left him at borne to­ day on purpose—this Is bls car—con aiders me rich. Financial status doubt ful, you see. But as to the other con slderation you mentioned aa neces •ary. why I can qualify on my side If —If—you can on yours.” Needless to say Carter had not stopped tbe car. After his little speech they went on In silence. Ron did not speak until she jumped out of the machine at her own door. Then, turning to Blanding, she said, “1 guess I can qualify, Carter"-—and raa into the bouse, whither he followed her add—but th« rwt doesn't signify. OTHING could have heeu Sim­ pler than the original error made by the newspaper man who had the stand at the corner of Broadway In the seventies. He had confused two of the books ordered by patrons and delivered them that monUng to the wrong apartments. Nancy Cromer received a recent novel entitled, “Heartstrings” in place of "Ever Ready" and Owen Stanley got the latter instead of the former. And Nancy, being an omniverous reader, decided to gobble up as much of “Heartstrings” as she could be­ fore the mistake was rectified. The author was a new one even to'Nancy’s well-posted brain. She couldn't recall having read anything by Owen Stanley and knew it must be a first attempt "Stanley—Owen Stanley, you've got a small fortune und a reputation in ’Heartstrlnga,”' she thought “Espe­ cially If one Nancy Cromer can per­ suade you to let her do the scenario for tite films.” Nancy was not really conceited but she knew her value as a writer. Her first two scenarios were undoubted successes. And Owen Stanley, a trifle annoyed that the mistake had been made, wrapped up “Ever Ready" and .took it back to the book stand. Tbe lovely volume he tad had especially bound was to be presented te Cora Masters, the young lady who be hoped would accept him now that he had promise of being successful. While Cora had not been wildly en­ thusiastic about his literary career she had not exactly discouraged hlnfl Stanley felt quite reasonable bo;x?3 that his lovely mauve volume of "Heartstrings" would do the trick. “You could get your own book if you just call at No. ID,” the book man informed Stanley. “I’m sorry I mixed them up.” And Stanley, because he really wanted to see bis brain child in Its new mauve raiment, decided So stop and ask for II He also took along the other book. Nancy opened the door herself, the volume still in her hand. “Oh, dear,” she said when she caught sight of the book In her call­ er's hand, “I was hoping I could have finished this story before anyone came to get iL I couldn’t sleep a wink If I didn’t know bow it ends.” “It must be an extraordinarily good ‘ tala,” he said. “It’s one of the best I’ve read for ages,” Nancy told him. "Well—I don't want to be responsi­ ble for your losing sleep,” said Stan­ ley. "How long will it take you to finish it Shall I call back about fiver “Oh I” breathed Nancy gratefully, “it's too good of you I will give you a cupful of tea and toasted muf­ fins when you come." Stanley grinned his thanks and went off. Hls footsteps were light Such praise as had been hls was worth any amount of advertising. Somehow hia heart beat less strenuously In the di­ rection of Cora. He had a bite of lunch, and went back to hls rooms. His telephone rang. “Is this Mr. Stanley," came a very nice feminine voice. “I am Nancy Cromer and would like to talk about your book, ’Heartstrings,* which has come to my notice in rather unusual circumstances. I was wondering it you have placed the film rights.” “Well, not exactly—though there are some dickerings going on." “I do so want to make the scenario —it’s the chance of my life. I’ve done two—Tiger’s Teeth’ and ’Shallow Hearts*—and they’ve both gone well." “I was hoping," suggested tbe girl, "that you could come over and get acquainted with me. I don’t live far away—just at No. 19 on your street” It didn’t take a Napoleonic brain to figure out that the girl to whom hls book had been delivered by mis­ take and this fair one of the telephone were one and the same. He had a sudden but definite feeling that be would never propose to Cora. “I could run over about five,” he said and smiled to himself. “Oh, dear, I have an engagement at five. Could you come about fivethirty r Stanley agreed,-pleased that she de­ sired to have her tea alone with tbe man who had asked for the return of his book. . They had a splendid.-tea time, chat­ ting about things In general but most­ ly finding one another decidedly the very nicest person In tbe world. And not having thought about names or anything so commonplace Stanley took hls departure promptly at fivethirty with his mauve-bound book tn his pocket He went down in the elevator then dashed up the stairs again an as not to be s minute lata for hls five-thirty appointment Opening the door Nancy smiled. “Did you forget anything?" she asked. “Why no," Raid Stanley, “I have an engagement with Nancy Cromer to talk over scenario rights to my book. I suppose you don’t want to break It” And h« stepped in. laughing like a young boy at his own foolishment “Oh, is It really truer gasped Nancy. "How lovely." Cora did not get the book bound tn maave.

Our new song this week was ’’Dandelions.” We were very much interested in a robin and turtle which were brought to our room one day thia week. Those who were absent thia week were Charles Bailey, George Baer, Elma Hollister, Joyce Rothaar, Florence Baer and Bernalda Krough. We are sorry to lose Paul Staup from the first grade. bile In a mudhole a few miles from Nashville last week. While mak­ ing a vain attempt to get out Glenn Early appeared on the scene with a team of mules. "Want me to haul you out, Mis­ ter?" "How much do you want?” “Three dollars.” After the work had been done and the money paid, the tourist asked: "Do you pull out many care here?” "About 12 a day or tbe average." replied Glenn. "Do you work nights too?" "Yes, I haul water for the mud­ hole." Teachar—Jack you must be neat­ er with your essays. Jack—Yes, that’s what I tell Dad but be never has time to copy them. Mr. Devereaux—Your wife is very pathetic, isn't she? Mr. Andrews—Yea, she touches me a lot. r 1987 OUT OUR WAY "Something’s wrong with your time," Said of friend of mine one day, "It purely must be gaining. Why It’s an hour out of th’ way.” "It may be true,” 1 said A.« I turned the hands around, "But its always been as faithful As any clock In town.” T’wae just an hour later When to my great surprise I heard tbe factory whistle Ring out its noonday cries. In bewilderment I glanced At the clock upon the shelf And asked in blank confusion If I were truly my own self. I gave the clock a violent jerk And talked just like a man Relaxing all Its history Like a New York radio fan. Once more with indignation I screwed its hands around; Plunged my hands into my pockets And started homeward bound. Charming story in which a man who had never known a real boyhood started out to learn the joys of that period of life. In order to turn the clock back he sought the advice and active aid of a regular boy. The two had some bang-up adventures, some thrills, and between them uncovered some genuine romance and a lot of fun. "Something’s wrong with your time," I said to my wife that day, "Why ft surely must be losing, It’s an hour out of th’ way," Now she’s gone on a vacation. And the whole town is to blame. She said she wouldn't be back Till the clocks chimed the same. —Velma V.

Now that wo have discussed a few i of th. good qualitlSR of a window -uck, Um ue and enumerate • a few of its less desirable traits. In tbe first place, on looking around the room we notice Hull several of the windows are cracked at Lhe top. It seemi; very probable that these were made by the window stick, for no other article iu the room Is long enough to reach the top of the win­ dow. From thte supposition we de­ duct tbe fact that lhe window stick is not always as careful as it might be In performing its duty, and also that it has little regard for Lhe prop­ erty of others. But this is only a minor fault and we could easily overlook it, If one other very bad mistake Ln lhe win­ dow stick’s life were corrected. But I greatly fear it can never be al­ tered, unless the janitor takes it In­ to his bead to promote tho window stick to a fine new assembly room. This is not liable to happen how­ ever, for two reasons: first, tbe jani­ tor is so busy with more important matters that he never notices the many window sticks of the building, and second, that even-if be did no­ tice them, this particular one would be much too shabby and old for a shining new assembly. But I have forgotten to name this fault of which I was speaking, and my reacivfrs probably do not understand what I am talking about. It is sim­ ply this, that although the same win­ dow stick has stood in tbe same cor­ ner year after year. It has never learned anything or gotten far in life. For years it has traveled In the same well-worn rut, never pro­ moted and having never attained any of the good things of life. It will undoubtedly end Its days of useful­ ness In the same corner doing faith­ fully the same duty until It is broken by a careless school boy, or thrown Into the furnace by a heartless jan­ itor.

Recently by a large majority vote they decided to adopt Eastern Standard time during the summer months. This ought to be an ' eye-drier" for those who have been shedding tears because they felt the adoption of Eastern Standard time was going to be an inestimable disadvantage to the farmer. No man-made laws and changes of customs can work to the advantage of all. While the adoption of Eastern Standard time means that the city folks must turn their clocks ahead one whole hour, our country friends have only to turn their docks ahead from thirty to forty minutes. The majority of farmers have al­ ways remained on tbe time given us by the Great Time Keeper of the universe—Sun time. mon occurrence to find many of the clocks in the farm homes even sot ten minutes ahead of Bun time.

I assure you when it comes to tho floor of tbe Senate I will support it. ^Delegates were chosen to attend the county convention at Delton May 2nd and 3rd. They are Mrs. Rilla Deller. Mrs. Alice Pennock, Mrs. Li­ la h Surine and Mrs. Jennie Whit­ lock. Nine new members were gained In the membership drive in 1927. Ten new members In Nashville's quota.

' Let’s give some facts of New York conditions 20 years ago under the reign of the saloon. Politics were linked with the saloon; scores of tenement saloons, reeking groggerles in cellars; sailor's dance halls with reputations unspeakable lined the street; half the population, it would seem, lived by robbing the poor, witless drunkard who worked merely to gain money to spend across the bars. From the reeking, filthy holes came New York’s most remarkable and strongest politicians, one was Timothy D. Sullivan, the associates of thieves, and disrespec­ table citizens: had been companion of several Sing Sing prison inmate®. Sullivan owned a chain of saloons which catered and propagated vice and crime. The head gamblers and merchants of vice were captains of the election precincts. Saloons ran the government under Timothy Sullivan’s magnificent control. The Bowery then became banner Demo­ crat district of New York. The miles and miles of foul saloons enticed the dregs of the world. Two American thieves opened national headquar­ ters for yegg burglars under the protective influence of Tim Sullivah and the Bowcry became a recognized metropolis of American criminals. The Mayor of New York, who ap­ pointed more judges than any other man in the United States in those days, owed his nomination and elec­ tion to vote-getting machinery whose main cog was the saloon. Everybody who read the newspa­ per In 1908 and 1909. knows that much of New York was run by this type of saloon, Tim Sullivan's type. While New York is still the wettest state in the union, with 43 repre­ sentatives in Congress, 27 of whom are wet, still the drys claim a victory in New York when they defeated Senator Wadsworth at the polls for re-election In 1926. The drys are gaining ground even in wet New York. Meeting was closed by singing the doxology. Adjourned to meet with Mrs. Dan Evans May 5th. for Moth­ ers and Daughters meeting.

He seems to have been a lender among an agricul­ tural people, whom he wished to estab­ lish In virtue. Industry and thrift Valuable Sea Monster If it is really a disadvantage to the farmer to have the stores close one hour earlier in the afternoon—ft will also be just as great, if not a greater advantage to them to have the stores and banks open one hour earlier In tbe morning. We honestly do not believe that the large majority of farmers would stop their work In the fields early enough In the afternoon to take ad­ vantage of the stores being open the extra hour from five to six. speaking strictly in terms of Central Standard time as heretofore, of course. Again we say it is impossible to have one kind of time that will prove satisfactory to all, alike. But let us ALL have one standard of time, whether it be Eastern Stan­ dard or Central Standard time—and let it be the standard of time that will work to the advantage of tbe greatest number. Occasionally we hear the remark that some farmer has said: "If Nashville adopts Eastern Standard time we will patronize some other town or eend to the mail order houses." We honestly DO NOT be­ lieve such statements. We have MORE confidence in the LOYALTY of our farmer friends. The majori­ ty of country people are just as proud of their nearest town or city and just as loyal to its merchants as those who live within its four walls. If our friends in the country feel compelled to do their trading else­ where, there is a reason—but It is an entirely different reason than that of merely turning the clocks ahead one hour during the summer months.

In tbe first place you have to write ov­ er to Hollywood in tbe second place and make the necessary and proper arrangements, and reservations at one of the hotels in the western city while your pet is in training. Then before you ship your canine to the film corporation in the third place you must amputate Teddy’s head in tbe fourth place—-or just back of the ears, and send it over to Lansing in the fifth place, and have it dis­ sected to ascertain if the dog is in perfect health and free from hydro­ phobia in tbe first place.

It is astonishing how many homemakers Ignore this simple and obvious detail of an at­ tractive meal. Always grease an iron with lard or vaseline before putting it away for a long time, or it w‘U rust. To re­ move rust on an iron, scour It with scouring powder, and rub well with a flannel cloth. Neufchatel and cream cheese are valuable for the protein, fat. phos­ phorus and calcium they contain. The American diet is said to be low in calcium. It is well, therefore, to remember that all cheeee supplies cal­ cium. ■ No meal should have an over-por­ tion of liquid, “mushy”, or hard foods. With stews, serve crisp breads, or crackers; with a dish such as macaroni, use browned bread crumbs on top; with soft breads. nerve a crisp salad. A bread pudding will be "soggy and sad” if you use too large a por­ tion of bread to eggs. Or it may come from cooking at too high a temperature. It is much better to rook any custard-like pudding in a pan of water in the oven. The wa­ ter keeps the eggs from being over­ rooked.

His hands were deep In his pockets, bls heavy chin was jammed against his collar, and his lips were in u straight line. There was a glitter in his eyes which carried an Impresston of pent-up rage “Idiot I” he grumbled to Llmaeif. “What’s be think I am. anyway? Doesn’t he know 1 have something bet ted to do than to go tearing around the country like a wild man? I know what Til do"—hp stopped short and waved a hand impotently—“Ill see an­ other doctor, that's what. Hl see whether anybody Is going to make an Idiot out of me." Whereupon Mr. Thomas Brent dived as fast as his palpitating heart would allow him Into another office building and scanned the register of names. Soon, panting from the exertions of a hurried entrance, be stood before a professional-appearing man in one of the upper suites. “Brent’s my name,'* be said shortly. Thomas Brent. I'm president of the Amalgamated Foundry company, and I've just been having a session with a pure Idiot. One of your tribe.” be added sarcastically. Doctor Jordan smiled blandly. “There are Idiots in ail classes." he said with a laugh. “Now what’s your particular grievance?" The president of the Amalgamated Foundry company seated himself and grunted In a distressed sort of way. “There's enough of a grievance," he began. "Here I’ve been going to Doc­ tor Jim Henderson for the last ten year* and paying him my good money for what I thought was professional work, and now when I need him, be comes rising up with a proposition that a ten-year-old schoolboy ought to know Is pure idiocy.

Doctor Jordan appeared interested. “I think we had better get to the bottom of this thing. Tell mt everything from the beginning.” Mr. Brent looked at the floor a min ute, then with his hand* on his knees h* began, while the sharp eyes of Doc­ tor Jordan watched his every action. “Well, it's enough to drive anybody crazy," be began. ’’Here Tvs been There is probably nothing In the world that give* a man that tired feeltag quicker than tj haw another 'trying to build up a good business and man *ay, "Why don’t you do m I de?" lhe hr* thing I ronld do would he to go back to nature with a vengeance He said I ought to get a freckled face kid thai knew everything about the woods, and find a little Shack nr ■ ave somewhere -and live In it for six months—not go near tbe city or anything of that kind, you know.

I’ll—" “Nothing Idiotic about that at all." Doctor Jordan broke tu “It's sound sense." “Sound sense? For me to go out and live some place where I’ll get the rheumatism, spots before my eyes, chigger bites, and everything else?” “Do you good to get all those things and more. Now, look here, Mr. Brent.’’ the doctor added, leaning for ward forcefully, “you are forty-flve years old; you look fifty-five. ’Tour nerves are broken down, and your di­ gestion is bad. Your mind has become centered od one thing until It la al­ most a mania with you. And you must get away from It I don’t care bow you do It. or where you go, but for «lx months you must cease to be u irnrt of the Amalgamated Foundry company. “If you want to go to the wood* somewhere and hunt, very well. If. you want to get your freckled-face boy and live in a cave and do your own cooking, all the better.' I say all the better because that will show you one part of your life you have missed entirely. Did you ever reflect that you never bad any boyhood, that you have been shouldering a man’s responsibil­ ities and worries erer since you were old enough to remember. Think it over, .Mr. Brent.” With that Doctor Jordan leaned back with an air of hav­ ing finished the interview, while Thomas Brent, too bewildered to he longer angry, rose and left the office. Slowly be stumbled to tbe elevator shaft, ffiuttering something to hknMlf as he went. “Those fellows have either got a conspiracy against me, or else they know something.” Brent mused. “Well. 1 never went Into a thing halfway In my life, and if I've got to do this thing. I’m going to do It up brown. I'm going to leave that fool shop of mine so far behind it never will catch up with me. This crazy thing'll kill me—I won't live through the first week of It, but I'll see the thing through or bust a blood vessel doing It. 1 suppose I’ll have to put an ad vertisement in tbe paper for that freckled-face kid. 1 wonder why it is," he asked himself as be turned down a side street toward a newspaper office, “that they are always talking about those freckled-face boys that live In lhe country and do all that sort of thing?

Doctor Jor dan asked. “Day ami night,” came the answer “Why. utau. I bad to! You ought to have seen that foundry when I took bold of iu I ve built the tiling up to a half-mlilion-dollur corporation. See? There isn’t any company in the state handling any bigger contracts chan I do right now—’’ “So I see.’’ interrupted Doctor Jor dan. “You don’t have any amuse­ ments. do you. Mr. Brent?" "What do I want with amusements?” the other man growled. “I need c tonic, that’s what I need—and some body to keep this eternal gang of money grabbers off my neck." “Married r “No—never had time." “Live in a hotel, I suppose?" “Yes—when i'ui not moving around trying to find some place where tbe service is deernt enough for a white man to exist on." There was a pause in which the unamiable Mr. Brent looked gloomily at the floor, and Doctor Jordan, his hands clasped before him. g-ized abstractedly at tbe ceiling. At last the physician turned and leaned across his desk. “You said something about a cave, or something of the sort," he sug­ gested. A pudgy hand slammed the desk ’•Just what I said." Thomas Brem burst out excitedly, “and I want to put it up to you as a fair, sensible man of medicine and ask you whether you be­ lieve any man that volets a scheme like that on another human being has a right to practice in a civilised com munity. It's an outrage!" he broke uut again, once more punishing the desk with an emphatic fist. Doctor Jordau sinlled at bls nervous anger. “Well, I think the beat way for mfe to decide on that would be after hear­ ing the exact story of what was sug­ gested to you. Now what did Doctor “Bay?

More than being closed, it was locked, as Philip Scrotties, the flrst aid and assistant of Mr. Brent, had found out after several ineffectual attempts to open 1L Still more mysterious was the fact that Mr. Brent had left his hotel early that morning and should have been at work long ago. It all put a puzzled expression on the face of Scrotties. Anything out of the beaten track always seemed to puzzle him. “I don’t know what Hl do,” he said to tbe stenographer as he sat at his desk. “He ought to have been here a long time ago. He never stayed away before without letting me know. I—” “I beg your pardon.” It waa the voice of a young man at bls shoulder, Philip Scrotties looked up into tbe face of John Edwards of the checking department “Welir he asked. Edwards seemed to hesitate a little. “I—I came to ask again about my raise," he began. “I believe I am en­ titled to one. 1 have been working here a good while, and there have been no objections to my work. It Scrotties pounded his desk. “Thl* Isn’t any time to ask for a raise," he ejaculated. “It seems that you would get It through your head after a while that we don't want to raise you.". “But I must have a raise," Edwards broke In. “There are certain things In my life that demand IL I have been figuring on getting married for some time, but I can't do it as long as my salary stays as low as it is now." •Well, you can’t count that against us." Scrotties answered him. “We pay a man what he’s worth. If he wants to get married, that is not our lookout t.t all You ought to realize that, Edwards.” “But 1 don’t believe you are paying me what I’m worth." Edwards retort­ ed. “I know I am young and, all that, but just the same I have the ability to do a lot of things that you don’t give me credit for. If you would only give me half a .chance here I could show yon. Now to be frank. Mr. ScrottlM, I must have a raise, or I will be forced to leave my position and hunt another. Of course, 1 would like to stay, but I must—" " Scrotties interrupted with a gesture. “It has always been a rule of this company that we hold no man here ngainst hl* w‘li Mr. Brent has made up his mind hat he is not going to give any more raises around here, and that rule will be enforced.

The young man s hand twitched. hl« fa< o grew the leant bit pale, then sud denty he turned and -left the office, while tlie eyes of Mr. Scrdttle* once more turned toward the door of i Brent’s office. “He ought to be here—he certainly ought to be here.” the confidential manager mused “I can’t make It out.” Then, somewhat uneasily, he' tele­ phoned tbe janitor.. Five minutes later, rhe door having been opened by tlie master keys on the Janitor's ring. .Mr. Philip Si rotties entered the Office and started hastily toward tbe tahle by Mn Brent's desk.

Mothers Among Our Grads Some day, O Mother, when the notable women ot the earth come bringing lheir gifts to humanity, you shall stand with head erect, the center ot that illustrious throng. AU will be there, the Jane Austins of literature, the Rosa Bonheurs ot art, the Madam Curlers of science, the Sarah Bernhardts of drama, the Carrie Jacobs Bonds of music, and each will present her particular con­ tribution to the age in which she lived—a book, a painting a piece of music, a bit of radium—brilliant achievements, valuable gifts, but they all pale to insignificance be­ side yours—the gift of a human life. Yes, and it is your gift, your boy, your girl, who becomes the connect­ ing link between the present and the future, who takes up the torch of progress where we lay it down and who bears it on triumphantly to gen­ eration* yet to come. So remember. O Mother, if the day is long, the duties many, and the burdens heavy, that the rewards are equally as great, and that it is you who, regardless of the passing tri­ umphs or the brief applause that others may receive, are patiently, painstakingly, day by day, moulding the future of mankind.

SPECIAL BENEFIT SHOW FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS Entire Proceeds from Entertainment May 18 to Be Donated to Worthy Cause. On Tuesday, May 18, the Star theatre is giving a picture called the ’.'Sensation Seekers”, sponsored by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, for the sole purpose of raising mon­ ey for the flood sufferers. It is with dread that each day we look at the paper when It comes, because the situation is growing worse day by day. It is beyond any doubt the country's greatest disaster of all time. Thousands upon thousands are homeless and penniless, where but a few days ago they were as comfortably situated as we are in Nashville. Today the only thing that stands between them and star- vation is the dollars that we give to these unfortunates. Every penny that you give to see this show will go direct to these suf­ ferers—not a cent is asked by the theatre management, the Nashville News or orchestra for any expense or time that they, are put to. It is all donated the same as we ask you to donate a few cents to this great cause and see a mighty good picture in return, free of charge. The most we can possibly do is small in com­ parison with what must be done if human lives are saved. America has always stood the test. We shall not falter now. WORK STARTED ON QUIMBY-LACEY ROAD. The contractors have started ac­ tive operations on the new county road from Bacbellor's corners, east of Quimby, to Lacey, and they pro­ pose to rush the work with all pos­ sible vigor, hoping to have the road nearly completed during the pres­ ent year. This road, when completed, will connect M-79 on the north with what is known as the ”St. Mary’s Lake road," from Lacey to Battle Creek. It will give an outlet to a splendid strip of agricultural coun­ try whose citizens have been badly handicapped in the past by being practically unable to get to any mar­ ket during wet weather. The new road goes from Bachellor's corners south about five miles, thence east one mile, up what is known as the Burman hill, just east of Hlghbank creek to the Maple Grove-Baltimore town line, thence scuth four miles to Lacey. NEW PYTHIAN OFFICERS. Ivy lodge, No. 37, Knights of Pythias, held the regular annual election of officers Tuesday evening and elected a splendid staff of offic­ ers for the ensuing year.

FIND BORERS RUINED CANADIAN CORN CROP Tbo need for the clean-up cam­ paign now being waged in the corn borer Infested area was vividly shown to a group of farmers who visited Essex county, Ontario, recent­ ly. Accompanied by Ira Graham, President of the Essex county Farm Bureau, the group visited farms throughout Essex county and wit­ nessed the destruction wrought by the borer. Essex county formerly raised 100,­ 000 acres of corn which has now dwindled down to lees than 30,000 acres. In 1922, there was only a I slight infestation over the county. In 1926, the crop was practically a total loos from the ravage* of the borer. President Graham stated that the loan companies had issued order* to decrease loans 110.00 per acre and to be extremely caution* in appraisal* on new applications. He anticipat­ ed the largest number of mortgage foreclosures this year that han ever occurred In the history of Canada. Every member of tine party was given an opportunity tc discuss the corn borer with the owner* of the visited farms. Although a few In ail returned home with the flrm conviction that tJbe present clean-up campaign I* one of the most con^tractive programs ever formulat­ ed for American agriculture.

"Got to go up and show that yellow bunch how to fight" was the way a siD-nal corporal explained it to a run­ ner at the regimental P. C. "Looks like a damn wet evening for a pic­ nic,” if you ask me said tbe run­ ner. In the regimental P. C. there was some consideration of a certain large map covered with many squares and lettered plainly In its upper margin FISMES. "The 128th is up here on this hill west of St. Giles and thle af­ ternoon tried to push down through the valley to Flames. It was stop­ ped by machine guns .and heavy shell Are” said the Colonel. "Our mis­ sion is to go up, make the relief and attack tomorrow,” he added. "It’s a short march of four miles and tbe bluff along the left of the road will give some protection from shell fire," remarked the staff officer after a lit­ tle study of the contours along the route. The machinery : by which one group of tired, hungry, harassed men would be replaced by another group not quite so tired and hungry, began to work in about the following man­ ner. "Order the regiment to be ready to march at 8:00 p. m. with packs—the third Battalion with Co. A, 121st M. G. attached will lead and make tbe relief.—The Second and First Battalions in order named will follow the Third—Send out a warn­ ing order at once and Instruct C. O.s to make every effort to feed their men a good supper—Following the warning later with information of the enemy and our own front line and supporting troop*." When darkness approached the silent files gathered in the streets and roads of Dravegny. Some turn­ ed a speculative and appraising eye toward the north where flashes flick­ ered balefully along the skyline. A drizzling rain was falling. "Looked like an easy war yesterday when we slogged up through those towns back there,” said a corporal. "Ye­ ah” answered his No. 3. "but today they got Captain West and Lieuten­ ant Roberts and a good bunch more right here in this dump.” A boy­ ish lad in the rear spoke up with. "Those shells landed right over by that water trough while I was filling my canteen. Made soup meat uv-a water cart horse right slde-a-me. Boy! I won’t need any C.

A rustling of ponchos and the scrape of hobnails announced the line was moving. There were no cheers from the side lines, nor songs and jokes from the column. This outfit had marched up to war be­ fore and knew the businees ahead was not healthy. When the column reached the op­ en country a battery of 75’s cracked sharply to the rear and right. The concussion smote the chests of the files with the effect of a breath tak­ ing blow. "Shooting over us,” commented a platoon commander to bis sergeant. The flashes of the guns revealed a long line of glisten­ ing black figures crowded to the right of the road. French trucks with never a light pounded by on the left splashing the troops.

"On your feet” comes down the line and the men struggle ahead. They are now in single file grasping the poncho or rifle ot the man ahead for connection. There are more halt* as the long column is entangled with troops moving to the rear. The flashes along the northern sky are brighter. Our own guns are roaring along the valley. The road makes a turn to the left, goes ahead, swings again to the right. Men who glance over their left shoulder note a gap in the ridge that thus far has stood like a bulwark between them and the German line. "Must be pretty near there” mut­ ters a platoon sergeant and—“Ah"— he suddenly goes down sprawling In a puddle of water. A great crater of flame erupts from the road with a cataclysmic detonation.

WING Three Companies Are Busily Engag­ ed In Securing Many Leases FUNEflll OIRECTOH AND LICENSED EMBALMER Visions of an oil boom for Eaton county are looming on the horizon. Representatives of three Pittsburg oil companies have filed 300 or more oil and gas leases on farm land lying south and west of Charlotte, aggre­ gating probably more than 30,000 acres, within the past few days. For more than a year it has been known that certain groups of specu­ lators have been quietly signing np land owners, but it was not generally known how far the movement here has gone. The usual basis of pay­ ment has been 11.00-for a lease for two years, with renewal rights of 25 cents per acre. In the event of striking oil. the royalty to the. lard owners is to be one-eighth of the product, and >100 per year for each gas well from which the product is marketed. The three companies that have se­ cured leases are the Wlttmer Oil Properties, the Libson Oil and Gas company and the Morse Oil and Gas company, the latter having headquar­ ters at McKeesport, just out of Pitts­ burg. / Two or three test wells for oil will be drilled In the countyi within the next two or three weeks, according to D. F. Fortney, well known Carmel township farmer. One of the first wells will be put down in Carmel, but the exact location has not yet been determined. Intelligent, Symoathetic Service. Woodland, Mich.

Michigan dell Telephone compa­ ny b constructing a storm-proof1 :ans --uj;-. tt.rpLun- cable, carry­ ing 2t>U pairs of wires, that' will reach from the east to the west coast of the state by the summer of 1928 and will cost approximately 53,500,000. As a part of the pro­ ject, the company is expending up­ wards of three-quarters .of a million dollar* this year on tbe construction of the section of the cable between Grand Raplde and Kalamazoo and move than >600,COO to build the section between Ann Arbor and Jackson. The Detroit-Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor section already has been com­ pleted, at a coot of 81,000,000. The new trans-Michigan cable will give the principal southern Michigan cities storm-proof tele­ phone cable connection with each other and with the New York-Chic­ ago-St. Louis cable, which carries the transcontinental telephone cir­ cuit*. Announcement of tbe build­ ing of tbe trane-state cable was made today by A. J. Pockham of Grand Rapids, southern division commercial superintendent of the Michigan Bell Telephone Company. Considering the enormous growth of the Industrial centers of southern, central and western Michigan and tbe resulting lncrer.ee ip the use of long distance service, the Michigan Bell is placing Its trans-state cir­ cuits In cable for the particular pur­ pose of eliminating service interrup­ tions as nearly as possible. At the same time the cable will contain sufficient number of toll and long distance circuits to offer outlets for the growing telephone traffic from the cities of southern Michigan to points outside the state east, west, and south, for many years, Mr. Peck­ ham states. If open wire was used in place of the cable, the 250 pairs would re­ quire the construction of ten large pole lines,-of 50 wires each. By en­ closing the new toll circuits In cable, almost complete protection against interruption of the long distance service- by storm or other agency is offered, and there is quite unlikely to be a repetition of tbe wlde^rread damage done the service in south­ western and southern Michigan by the heavy sleet storm of March 20, this year. Service through the Ann Arbor-Detroit cable was not affected by that storm, while open telephone and telegraph wires were hard hit. Work on the Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo cable already is under way and will be completed this year. The route to be followed is approx­ imately 4 8 miles In length, for 43 miles of which the cable will be car­ ried aerially on poles. Through cities and towns it will go under­ ground. The roll lines, from Ala­ mo, Otsego. Allegan. Dutton, Middle­ ville and Hastings wU.’ connect with this section of cable, offering the service to thoae cities more complete protection against storm interfer­ ence. also. Building of the Jackson-Ann Ar­ bor section of the cable is scheduled to start about the middle of the summer and will be completed In March of 1928. Lines from Inter­ mediate points will connect with It. From Kalamazoo to Jackson, ad­ ditional open wire toll circuits will be built this year, at a considerable added Investment In the portion of tbe Bell Company's plant, to care Immediately for Increasing long dis­ tance traffic from Jackson. Rattle Creek. Ann Arbor. Detroit and other points. During k1928. however, the trans-etate toll cable will be extend­ ed from Kalamazoo to Battle Creek and Jackson, completing the hook-up from Grand Rapids through to De­ troit. Lansing will be connected by cable with the trans-state run, at Jackson, probably In 1929. Gales­ burg will be connected with the Kal­ amazoo-Jackson section, and Plain­ well and Wayland with the Grand Raplds-Kalamazoo section. From Grand Rapids, telephone cables are projected to Grand Haven Saturday Special! Pure Silk and Artificial Silk Hose This is a strong durable hose of good length and attractive appearance.

"INSIDE INFORMATION" Roasto from tho so-called Lender cuts are better If cooked without water. Sear the outside at a high temperature to keep the meat juices within, then lower the temperature somewhat and roast for 15 to twenty minutes to tbe pound. To cook turnips or rutabagas a quick way, pare them, cut in fairly thin slices, and cook for 15 to 23 minutes in lightly salted water. Drain, mash, and season with butter. Some people like the slices intact, with plenty of butter melted over them.

He felt for It now—there it was safe in hls waistcoat pocket He had ordered the wedding bouquet days ago—Hillesof-the-valley. which were to fall In a lovely shower down Sally’s white satin He glanced at his watch The wed ding was at noon, and the hands pointed to eleven-thirty now. “Might as well start now," he thought, and adjusting hls bouton­ niere he telephoned for a car he had ordered from a garage, and soon he was set down before tho vestry of the church. There was no one In the vestry but he did not wait this wedding was to be a very simple af­ fair. Sally’s mother hud told nlm to go to the church and at a quarter to twelve to go to the chancel and wait there. Peter Dick walked in, bls head high, conscious that people were moving into the pews. He mounted the chan­ cel steps and stood there, handsome, pale, composed outwardly. Within he was combating an old fear that as­ sailed him now. Suppose Bally should fall him now? Reason told him that Bally's love was as solid as Gibraltar itself, yet, for a ’.ittie while he stood there, staring at a familiar stained glass window—it was familiar Indeed— years ago he had stared at it for a full hour—now an organ played softly, and ha heard the rustling of people coming and going. He could hear whispers and at last he looked through hls eyelashes at the people. The people! The people coming and going and there were several cleaning women moving about their work of dusting the pews. Except for them the church was empty- There was not even a flower—yet—here was 4 fypllly qhancel and a stained window-—. Sudden! broke upon Peter Dick Jones. This church was St Paul’s, North, where he had waited so long for Edith —and he was to be married at noon to Sally Gray in St Paul's. South, on tbe other side of the city. It was two minutes to twelve now! The cleaners looked amazed at the bridegroom as he shot across to the vestry. They had about decided that the solitary figure was that of a bride groom rehearsing hls part, Peter Dick jammed on his hat und ran for a car. In a moment they were tearing across town to St Paul’s South. They were three minutes late, when Peter Dick rushed Into the church, and went swiftly up to the aisle between rows of people, who watched him amusedly “Peter Dick’s hurrying as if he feared that he might lose Sally," whis­ pered some one to Mra.

Then the organ tones rose and rose, and there was Sally and her father, coming up the aisle, valley IHllea showering down the white satin of her dress, and her tender eyes ashlne for him through the mist of her wedding veil. Disregarding all conventions, Peter Dick turned,and held out eager handfor Iter. A little smile ran around among the guests, tenderly reminiscent of other wedding days, perhaps, and eager young lovers. Mr. Gray gave hls daughter away, and stepped aside.

Life From The Side Lines Everything in Reading From A to Z. Have yon noticed the beautiful bookcase filled with "books" in Don Hess’ south display window? No? Well, just look ’em over—we mean the titles. If Don and Virgil have read all of them, they've even got Charlie Roscoe backed off the map. Books of fiction, ancient and mod­ ern'; histories, biographies, books of science, etc., etc. That bunch of titles would almost classify Don as an ex­ tensive reader and a man of cos­ mopolitan tastes—ye*, very. But what we’d like to know direct from Don is what the dickens he finds so interesting in two of ’em—"The Line of Love”, and "Wayside Courtship". Don will probably spring the alibi that those two particular volumes belong to Virgil, seeing as how Vir­ gil Isn’t married yet—but willing. However, the one that will be of the greatest general Interest to those of you who take our advice to look ’em over, is "The Purchase Price." Bet Don can explain that to you to your entire satisfaction. Still speaking of those *ame books yet. of course. You know, when we gave that selection of titles the once over, we failed to see one with the title "Antidote for Castor Oil.” You see It’s like this, Virgil has been try­ ing the whole blessed week to find some formula or recipe that will ex­ plain bow to remove castor oil from a feller’s hip pocket. Virgil bought tbe fool castor oil in the first place to remove the squeaks and groans from the springs of hls car—not from hi* hip pockets, don’t misun­ derstand us.

Hilton Seniors’ Favorite By JANE OSBOKN (Copyright.) HE seniors at Hilton, In class meeting assembled, were voting on favorites—favorite screen sure, favorite eats, favorite poets, favorite novels, favorite professors and favor­ ite girls. . Rodney Hal? bent hls good-looking young head over the wide arm of hls chair In the large auditorium where Qje four hundred odd members of his class assembled for one of their last class meeting Favorite first name—mused Rodney. He’d never thought much about girls’ first names. The name of a girl didn’t seem Important—it had nothing to do with her looks or anything else that counted. Who were the real pip­ pins of history? he asked himself. Cleopatra and Helen. Cleopatra—that wasn’t a real first name, so Helen was left. Rather nice sort of first name and neat to Eve, thought Rodney, It must be nearly the oldest So Rodney wrote down. “Helen" as hls favorite girl's name, and as Helen was sup­ posed to have red hair he wrote down "red" after the blank that called for "favorite color of hair for girl." Prob­ ably she'd like Michael Arlen beet of the novelists, thought Rodney. Rod­ ney didn’t but he'd heard that a lot of the girls did. And she’d drive an imported car, and her favorite sport would be swimming, and she’d be a college girl, and her eyes would be gray or green. The funny thing about it was, when all *.he answers were in and the con­ clusions were drawn It happened that, though Rodney hadn’t given the question of hls favorite girl very se­ rious thought, he had managed to vote with the majority in almost every re­ spect Helen was the favorite name and she invariably had red hair, she read Michael Arlen and she drove an imported car and her eyes were gray or green and her favorite sport was swimming. Little Mary Gleason, who bad al­ ways lived next door to the Hales, read In the morning paper the result of the Hilton voting with color mount­ ing to her che«ka t*A red-haired girl named Helen, who reads Michael Arlen," she said to herself and then, "but of course that only shows the majority vote. There must have been Individuals whs had different preferencss." And then the postman came and brought the letter that Mary had been waiting for so eagerly. “Dear Mary,” It said. *T suppose you have forgotten all about me, it's so long since I wrote, bnt what with examinations and all sorts of senior activities I haven’t had time to write to anyone. Now I was wondering if you’d care to come up here for tbe senior dance, and I’jSi hoping that you will coma.” Than Rodney rambled on a Mt about plans for senior week, train times, etc., and ended with this paragraph, •Day before yesterday we voted on T tion tnat oecause it seemea ramer a coincidence to ms.” Mary had read the first part of the letter with keen delight Then with the last paragraph her heart sank. So hls favorite name really was Helen and she really bad red hair and gray or green eyes! Mary's hair was fight brown and her eyes were bright blue and she hated Michael Arlen, and she drove a flivver and she had never learned to swim—and didn’t intend 0. Her favorite outdoor sport was t4MIng a garden and she thought t8u none of the modern novoHrtt WUtff half so pleasant to read as Jaffa Austen. Mary went straight to her room and sat and thought for an hour. It seemed to her the most Important de­ cision of her life. Then she wrote a letter to Rodney declining hls levi­ tation. Rodney received the letter the next day and Saturday afternoon he arrived unexpectedly home. Mary’s heart had beat very fast when she greeted Rodney where she sat under the grape arbor In a BOeluded part of tbe old garden. They sat for a little time much confused. Then Rodney said: “Mary. I didn’t understand that letter of yours. Evidently you were angry about something but I can’t think what, and commencement won’t ssetu right without you there. It would make a difference—all my Ilfs.” So Mary with tears in her bright blue eyes told Rodney that she was sorry but that she didn’t want to talk about It, and that she would come if he really wanted her; and Rodney said that he had never realized until he got her refusal how much she et to him—so perhaps It was just as wen she refused at first because now ha knew that there could never be unyoae else. Mary said that made her very happy, bnt she thought that Rodney had better not talk about things like that any more until after graduation—• "Or at least until the night of ths senior dance," he said. Then ha no­ ticed a book at Mary’s fest. It wm a volume of Michael Arlen. Mary turned crimson when she saw. that he had seen the volume. -I don’t think you’d tike it,” sold Rodney. "In fact tho kind of gtei I really like the beet reads Jean Aus­ ten." SOUTH MAPLE GROVE. Mr. and Mra. OU. WhlUnora aa« tamlly .pent Bunday at H. O. Arak- Mr. and Mra.

Screech owls, and rain crows, tree toads, and ail them things. You’ll like It fine after you get started.” There was a snort. Mr. Brent had almost ruined hls frog leg by Jath mlng It into tbe very ashes for em­ phasis. “Yes; IH like it?* he broke out sarcastically. “I’m crazy about this sort of thing. I love living this way. Yes," he said. “I’ll like it. I’ll like ft" “Weil, you will," Freck protested. “I know that’s just the way It was with Mr. Edwards when he and Jennie first came out to visit us. He used to laugh and make fun of us, hut I'll bet you If he had a chance to get a little farm he'd be tickled to death all right "He's Jennie's beau.” Freck added. “He works In the city——In a foundry or aomething of that kind, if he ain't got fired since I saw him laat. He let ’em breathe almost. He's been trying to get a raise. Mr. Edwards has. eo he can marry Jennie, but he hasn't got It yet. I don't think he will get It."

It’ll Just about kill me off, and I’ll lose the money anyway. If I stay out here I’ll probably lose the money and get killed off just the same. Six ot one and a half dozen of the other. Huh." he grunted after hls reverie, and looked up. “What sort of a fellow Is this Edwards man you seem to think' ao much about, Freck?*' Freck’s eyes glowed. “Oh. he’s h smart man. He tells Jennie lots of times what he'd do with the busi^es* if they’d give him a chance. He says they throw away twenty-five thousand that live in the water." Freck tried hls beat to give a* vivid a description as he could. “We’ll get some of ’em tomorrow. We’ve got a lot of things' to do, Mr. Brent. We got to go swim mlng. and hunting, and rob birds' nests, and lots of things." The answer was only a grunt from Mr. Brent. He closed hls eyes and soaked .in the sounds of the night, the faint screeching of an owl In the far away hickories, the droning of the crickets, the creaking of the tree toads, the lapping of the water, and the ripples far below. Freck’s voice at last aroused. “Guess Mammy Taylor and Mammy Bacon are going to stay all night. They've built a fire.” “Huh," said Mr, Brent dreamily. "Wish I had something to put on my feeL They are sore aa boils.** “Yes. Mammy Taylor and Mammy Bacon are the biggest women In town, I guesa. One of 'em weighs more than hjmdred ppuatte. She's got an unde tTil'fi A vooJoo.’’ “Colored?" "Yes," replied Freck. “They are get­ ting crawdads for a party maybe.” "Well, I wish they'd move on. I don't like 'em." Brent settled against the rocks again. Hls face was asaumIng the grouchy appearance which the frog legs for a few minutes had driven away. Hls mind was working on busi­ ness again. "If I had a fellow like that Ed­ wards. It wouldn't make so much dif­ ference." he was saying to himself. "Scrottles doesn't know anything and I’ll be blamed if I'm going back there and handle that business and kill my­ self. I’ll stay out here and die first. There was a heavy roar from above; a crush. Thomas Brent sent a glance upward to note nothing but black­ ness. "Here comes my rain," averred Freck. A flash. The branches of the trees swung lower than ever. The red of the tire paled momentarily In the greenish light. A drop of rain sizzled In the tire; a roar. The lightning broke again. Thomas Brent leaped to his feet dollars a year.

He stuffed hls fingers In bls ears, but It seemed to d«« no good. Still he beard the cries from below. And still he thought of the storm without, the dry comfort with­ in. and stayed away from the mouth of the cave. Then there came from below, fraught with fear and with terror: -Oh. Heaven, we'se drownin'!” Angered at their foolishness in stay­ ing In the rain when there must be shelter near, Mr. Brent crawled to the mouth of the rave, and for one brief instant stepped on the slippery ledge beyond. The one Instant was enough. A wild howl from a fat throat, a frantic clutching at nothing in particular, h scramble, grunts, imprecations and humps followed In quick succession. Mr. Brent had slipped and now was traveling down the long, slippery hank toward the river. “Deiumit!" he gurgled, and grasped wildly. He caught two handfuls of mud and grass, and nothing else. •’Woof!” He had bumped against a Jutting rock, stopped, scrambled to hls feet, -slipped again and was trav­ eling once more forcibly downward. “Flump!” He bad funded against a tree, grasped It with mud-greased arms, failed In his hold and gone on again. "Splosh!” -he was at the bot­ tom. sitting vaguely In water, and gazlnc out to a broud rock in the ffiTddfe oY Qie stream, wfierfc Ate light­ ning had revealed two very fat and very, much terrorised negro mammies. Mr. Brent grunted, attempted to rise, then sat hack in the water. “What’s the matter?” he asked, some­ what excitedly. “What are you stand­ ing out there for. huh?” “How’s we gwlne be’p It?" was shouted back. “We done get out beab an', de fifth went out.” “Well, get off!” “How’s we gwlne get off, man, when we doan know the way?” “Can you beat It?" Mr. Brent asked himself, splashing water with both bands to emphasise the state of hls mind. “How're you going to get off? Why. you muttonheads. walk off!” "How’s we gwlne walk off, when they ain’t nothin* to walk on. man? Foh goodness sakes, come he’p us!” “I’ll be dinged If I will.” said Brent angrily. He was still thinking about tbe scramble down the hill. “Den we'se gwine drown! We’se gwlne drown ! Oh—" “Going to do- nothing of ths kind! Shut up and stay there until daylight. Darn it. you've broken every bone in my body.” ■ f He buddenly ceased. Another flash of lightning bad shown him a queer picture in the middle of tbe stream. One of the women was kneeling on the great rock, chanting In her planta­ tion manner: Oh, frov? out de life line, Prow out de life line— “Shut up, Lizzie Taylah!’’ earn** sboutlngly from the other, “cause dey ain’t gwlne be no life line. Dat ar man's jest gwlne let us stay out heah an’ drown our poah halds off, an’ ef he doese. lady. I’ll haul him! I’ll hunt him ’till bls fohlock hangs down like a sheepskin at de gable end ob u tuhkey roost. Stop yoh chantin’, Liz­ zie Taylah. an' staht hantin’.’’ Mr. Thomas Brent listened In amazement. Then dazedly and drlpplngly he rose from the water and in desperation started for the rock. The-, fattest of the women saw him coming. As be drew near, almost shoulder deep in tbe water, she allowed one more screech to echo forth and then plumped down upon him. “What the—*' That waa all. Brent went under, to come up with a struggling, gasping, two-hundred-pound negro mammy lu hls arms. "Whaffo yo'—” she began, “whaffo—” “That’s enough," grunted Hie man, and started back to shore. Ten min­ utes later, panting and exhausted, be drugged the woman up on the bank and left her there as he started for the other. Once again there was a struggle, once again be went under, this time with Mammy Taylor, both to flounder and to blow water like porpoises. Then, reaching the shore again, Brent stood angrily defiant. “Now!" he shouted. “Yeh, nowl” came back In feminine tones. “Now we’se gwine to lay out oheah an' get striked wlf llghtnln*. Yeh, now." “Gwlne git pnoomonia, data what we'se gwlne git!” came from Mammy Taylor. “Shut up!" yelled Mr. Brent. “We’se gwlne die ob de pnoomonia.’’ “Gwine die," chanted Mummy Tay­ lor. “Gwine die,’’ added Mammy Bacon. “An-n-n-n-n-n go to Hebbin!” “Gwine d|e!" “Stop that ringing!” ordered Brent angrily. “Gwlne leave us—” began Mammy Taylor again with two-bundred-flesh power. “on de bank!" “AU a-lone!” “Oh-h-h, gosh!"

I»ufling. blowing, trying to talk and merely gasping, Brent clung to trees, bits of shrubbery—anything that would help him with hls hefty burden. At In <t he succeeded, placed the chat­ tering figure In the cave by Die side of the sleeping Freck, and turned to go down the hill aguln. And he repeated hls former descent, with the difference of receiving a few more bumps. Once again at the bottom. Mammy Bacon was walflng, chanting again, singing hymns of the camp meeting, while her eyes glowed white and big in the flashing of lightning, and her clothing ran more and more water with every fresh outburst of rain. Mr. Brent pulled himself to hls feet and tried to size up rhe burden that he must haul to the top of the hill. It was Impossible In the darkness. He merely grabbed, managed to seize an arm and started. A half hour later, a huddled, mis­ erable figure of a man sat hunched in the darkness on the little ledge beyond the cave. The rain had changed fo a drizzle now. but that. Instead of help­ ing. only made - -bl's -• clothing - ■ - - - <o cling him tbe more uncomfortably and clammily, He vaguely felt that hls body was black and blue and purple, He knew that every muscle twitched and that rheumatism was beginning to ge* out Its sledge hammers for classy work in various parts of hls anatomy.

It was right at that moment when Mr. Thomas Brent, former cave dweller, sent bls hands spasmodically Into the air. "Back to nature!” he ruminated angrily agal^ as his prize sore toe bumped Into a jagged stone on the downward descent. “Back to boyhood I It’s back to town for me!" CHAPTER V Confidential Agent A deep, satisfied snore from within the cave seemed to answer Mr. Brent's decision and sent Into bls brain a flare of anger that grew with every aecond. He turned and looked Into the darkness. Hia face was scowling He shook a fist that palpitated with pent-up rage, and then like a turtle dropping from a log be let himself slide over the ledge and down the muddy foot path. *‘I can’t get any dirtier, I can’t get any muddler, 1 can't get any wetter, sowhat'a the difference where I land?" he growled aa he bumped about here and there In his downward descent. Now and then he would strike a tree or large rock which would bold him and allow him to steady himself for n moment. Then he would go slipping ou again. At last he readied tbe bot­ tom and began a groping, tortuous Journey toward the railroad tracks a mile away. “I might as well be iost down here us sitting up there on that ledge like a ninny," he grun.bled. ’Til find that railroad track If It takes me all night. 1*11—" He had bumped into a barbed wire fence and was hanging there something like a quarter of beef on display in a butcher shop. Dazedly he got hls bearings, and gradually there showed before him tbe dark form of the railway “fill." Slow­ ly be crawled over the fence and then something after the fashion of a half­ careening sidewheeler, he touched hls feet to the rock ballast and started on tbe long tramp to Dodson, the nearest railway atation. “The next time I listen to a doctor.’’ be burst forth time and time again, "I’ll—Ouch!" \ He had bumped hls sore toe against a railroad tie, and fur ther comment upon physicians and medicine were lost. Tbe storm had died down to a driz­ zle now—a cold drizzle, which made Mr. Brent uncomfortable and Shiver­ ing. He rammed his bands deep into his pockets and bunched bis head deeper in hls shoulders and limped along staring moodily ahead at the faint strip of gray which told of the railroad's course through. the dark ifflot ’ Maniac!“ A mile dragged by. Two. tbre*-. four. five, and there showed before hita the red and greeo light* of the station. He approached the door, reached for the handle, and then paused with an. inarticulate howl <>n his Upa. H? hud stubbed that favorlte toe again. “Doggone It," he muttered “171—“ He stopped. ■ From around the corner had come the sound of a voice that seemed fa­ miliar. More than that he bad heard hls. own name. Thomas Brent sud­ denly began to take an Interest tn life Quickly he slunk out of the circle of light made by the telegrapher’s lamp and Into the shadow of a loaded truck. He. bad not been seen, he knew that, yet someone had called his name. Again he heard the voice. Did tbe st Won agent know anything? It was a strange tone, yet one that seemed to carry a vague memory. Mr. Brent listened closely as the answer came. “Yes. We're on tbe right track. Bat I think we'd better go up to tbe hotel and stay for the night and start our active. *Investigations in the mornIng." Suddenly He Started. A Shrieking Whistle and a Circle of Light Shone Upon Him. - Thomas Brent knew that voice, it was Philip Scrottles’. and aa he came to tbe realisation the president of the Amalgamated Foundry company, wig­ gled hls sore toe in pure excitement. Then he ceased the exertion that noth­ ing might interfere with bls hearing. “Just what did you find out. Mr. “Well. I described Mr. Brent to the agent and It seems that a man of hls description got . off the train here day before yesterday morning lugging three or four baskets. There was a boy with him, too. and that's about the only way we can hope to trace him— through the boy." Theo came the other voice: “They are Hable to be In any one of a hun­ dred places, and lire only thing we can do is to stay around here until we learn that boy's haunts and then trace them out. We’ve got to get hls signa­ ture to that thing, and we've got to have him In there to send it through. Now you are sure that you stand with him all right, are you, Mr. Scrottles?” The Injured toe sprang Into activity again—and then ceased at the sound of the confidential manager's voice. 1 can get him to do it, all right. He won't see through." "What does he place the plant at now?” the other man questioned. “He figures it about a hundred thou­ sand shy of what It is. I believe it I talk hard enough I can get the place away from him for four hundred thou­ sand dollars. That’s two hundred thousand less than it*a really worth. You would have to spilt the difference with me if I got it” There was a pause for a moment, and In that space of time all ths colors ia the rainbow flared through the an­ gry mind of Thomas Brest Scrottles. the man he had trusted for years, was false. This was the reason that itema which should have gone into tbe profit column had gone into that of loss. The man whom he had treated to work between him and the plant at large had been reaUy working against him. He bad been a traitor. The gyrations of a music master could not have equaled then the twitch­ ing of Mr. Brent's Injured toe as be came to this renlizatlos. A wild de­ sire was In him .to leap out, grasp tbe offending employee by the throat and shake vengeance out of him, but some­ thing held him back. The voice had begun again, “We’d Iwtter wait until morning be fore we do anything," the stranger was repeating. "Then we’ll get hold of this kid’s mother, find out where he's liable to be, and go after him. I think that is best." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Suddenly he started.

Jerry Lessaard, driver of one of the road trucks, was arrested Mon­ day morning on a charge of reckless driving through our streets Satur­ day evening. He appeared before Justice Roscoe and plead guilty to the charge, and waa fined $5.00 and costs, which we trust will act as a sort of sedative to quiet his mania for speed in tbe future. Any one that will drive a two-ton truck down through a crowded street at the clip that Lessard took Saturday night has a mighty poor conception of any sense of responsibility and the dan­ ger to human lives, arising from auch thoughtlessness. Mrs. Eliza Greenwood, aged 73, passed away Saturday evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Eva Deane, after a lingering illness from nephritis. Mra. Greenwood came to live with her daughter early in the winter, and was taken ill shortly af­ ter her arrival here, falling gradual­ ly until the final summons came. An­ other daughter. Mrs. G. W. Hoffman, of Florida, has been here the past three weeks, helping to care for her. The remains, accompanied by .Mrs. Deane and Mrs. Hoffman, were tak­ en to the former home at East Jor­ dan. and the burial service was held there Monday afternoon.- THE RULE OF EIGHTS The rule of eights, ideal as it may be in theory. Is for the great numer­ ical majority. Impossible to carry in­ to practice. The rule of eights would divide our day into eight hours for sleep, eight hours for rec­ reation, and eight hours for rest. Good, theoretically, but a man whose factory runs on a ten-hour day can't observe that schedule. He cannot avoid over fatigue, when for periods of weeks or months that ten hotir day In lengthened by overtime to a twelve or thirteen hour day. When, to the hours actually spent in the factory, we add the time required to reach hls place of employment, plus the time for return and the noon hour frequently spent there also, we have a workday, even in enlightened America, of fourteen or perhaps fif­ teen hours. The case of the farmer is not dis­ similar. A farm does not run on eight hour shifts with Sundays off. Cows insist on being milked and watered and fed and bedded down, even dn Sunday. Avoidance of excessive fatigue, although utterly to be desired, cannot be attained. The cost of machinery, which mlgfht greatly lengthen the farmer’s load, is often prohibitive. No wonder farmers are frequently old men at forty, and that many insurance com­ panies class farming aa hxardous occupation. Being the mother of a family is a hazardous business. One insurance company refuses to accept women as risks at all while certain others charge women a higher rate Any slight illness of any member of the family, big or little, means increased hours of work and lessened hours of rest for mother. Any slight diminu­ tion of the family income means in­ creased work and added contriving in order to make the income stretch far enough for all the shoes and stockings needed and for the bread and vegetables and milk and oleo­ margarine, so much cheaper than butter. Social and industrial and legal remedies to meet such situations will come very slowly, years hence, too late to profit tbe present generation. But meanwhile is there nothing the present generation can do. is there no way of so adjusting himself to conditions, so that conditions will bear less hardly? There fe one small thing he can do bnt that small thing can be made for the individual rather a large thing. He can culti­ vate a spirit of tranquility. Easier eaid than done, true, but yet worth doing. The walk to and from work, or the ride, can be to the worker either a part of his day’s work, or a form of recreation. If he can enjoy his walk, or hls ride, enjoy wind and weather, snow and rain, an'd luring mystery of tog and mis’; if the obMsrvatlon of .Ma fellow men can be to him a never-ending tale of thrill and mystery, hls fatigue at the end of the day will be lessened. If he can loam to laugh with hls meals, to relax and be tranquil, he will to; some be recreated. If in !pleamntextent weather his nocn lunch can be eaten outdoors in the eunahlne. ,his noon hour will no longer be sim­ ply a part of hls working day. but will become a form of recreation. .If his short hours of sleep are made shorter by wakeful new, he can still rest.

Rood taught in the rural schools un­ til the fall of 1901 when ho enter­ ed M. S. N. C. at Ypsilanti, where he followed an academic and profes­ sional course. He graduated with the class of 1903 and accepted a po­ sition as instructor in the Yale school of Los Angeles, California. He liked it so well in the West that he again accepted a position as head of the North Bend. Oregon, schools in 1904. Here he was married in September 1904. He had gone west in 1902 with his parents and located on Coos Bay. As soon as Frank located in North Rend, he was made a ruling elder of the First Presbyterian church at that place. He also acted as super­ intendent of the Sunday school. He was always active in church work too, and was soloist of the same church.- He entered too zealously into the social and church activities and his health failed and in 1906 he decided to try country life for a time. They bought a dairy ranch in the fertile valley of Coos River which fowB into Coos Bay which is an arm of the Pacific ocean. His health was regained in a short time, but they have continued to live on Coos River ever since. They have chang­ ed their location to the North Fork of Coos River and now live on a thirty cow dairy ranch. Frank has since been made an •rider of the Marshfield First Pres­ byterian church and has taught a Bible class for sixteen years. He has been an official of the telephone company for years, is ,& member of the Board of Directors of the Ameri­ can Bank of Coos Bay, has served on the school board for years, and is an all around public spirited citigen. After I graduated from high school at Nashville, I attended Ypsi­ lanti, majoring In music and draw­ ing. I graduated in’1902 and came West that same summer. I taught Music on Coos Bay until we were married. I have always enjoyed entering into church and social ac­ tivities. For years I have been President of the Alert club, a local study club, and a member of the Art Department of the Oregon Federa­ tion of Women’s Clubs, and am now Lcting on the Art Memory Contest Committee of the state.

The last* meeting of the Nashville Community club before the summer vacation was held at the auditorium Monday evening, and it is to be re­ gretted that various conditions con­ spired to cut down the attendance, the crowd numbering about half as many as usual. Hon. Joseph L. Hooper, Congress­ man from the Third District, was the speaker of the evening, and he gave an address that surely merited a muoh larger audience. His talk was along patriotic rather than par­ tisan lines, and he took occasion to refute the preachings of those few national writers and speakers who are prone to rant on what they term "American Imperialism" whenever international difficulties arise. He spoke of the work of rehabilitating the Panama Canal Zone and the var­ ious republics neighboring our southern boundary, taking as a specific example the island of Haiti in the West Indies. Mr. Hooper had but. recently returned from a visit to these republics with* a party of congressmen, and be gave a concise history of Haiti which was extreme­ ly interesting. He stated that the Intervention of the U. S. govern­ ment marked a complete change in conditions there. The island is now prosperous, progressive, and sani­ tary conditions all that could be de­ sired, whereas formerly affairs had been very unstable and living con­ ditions almost unbearable. Supper was served at 7.30, a very satisfying repast, with Mrs. Bert Miller catering, assisted by several other ladies. After the feed the meeting was called to order by Pres­ ident Pennock and a business meet­ ing held to talk over plans for the coming year and elect new officers. The Sec’y-treasurer’s report show­ ed a small deficit for the past year, and It was decided that a continu­ ance of the club would necessitate a change In the system of financing. For the coming year season tickets covering all expenses for eight meet­ ings. will be sold at >4.00 each, and it was estimated that at least a hun­ dred of these tickets must be dis­ posed of. L. W. Feighnar was ap­ pointed chairman of the ticket com­ mittee. with Instructions to select his own assistants. A report from the nominating committee was called for, and their selections were given the unanimous approval of the assembly. The new officers are as follows: President—Chris Marshall. Vice Pres.—Dr. E. T. Morritw Secy.-Treas.—-Mrs. C. T. Munro. Secy.-Mgr.—Frank Caley. Directors—:Mrs. Chester Smith, Will G. Hyde. Fred J. Mayo. C. W. Pennock and Fred Hanes. Entertainment committe<4—Rev. G. E. Wright, L. W. Felghner and C. H. Tuttle. Will L. Gibson. Rev. A. L. Bing­ aman and Carl A. Lentz were ap­ pointed a committee to confer with the council in regard to Decoration Day arrangements. Following the business session. Rev. G. E. Wright took charge as toastmaster, and in addition to the fine address by Mr. Hooper, the au­ dience were treated to several musi­ cal numbers by local talent which has not previously appeared on Oommunity club programs. Mrs. C. K. Brown favored the gathering with two vocal solos, with Mrs. Betts at the piano, and the Misses Betty and Loujse Lentz, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Carl A. Lentz, pleasingly demonstrated their musical ability with a group of piano and violin duets. FINED FOR ILLEGAL FISHING Clinton C. Kleet of Yankee Springs and Dewey Wald of Battle Creek were arrested Sunday morn­ ing for netting fish in Bullbead lake, by Game Wardens Denner, Bera and Vanderlip. The men were well equipped to violate the law, having a gill net, a trammel net and a fish trap in their possession. They were taken before Justice Selden at Hast­ ings Monday, where they plead guilty and each paid a fine of >100, with >5.95 costs. On Wednesday the wardens ar­ rested Clayton Dove and Walter Richmond of Battle Creek for spear­ ing fish in Barry township. They plead guilty to this charge before Justice Selden and were fined >19.95 each. It proved quite an expensive outing for the boys however, as one was taxed an additional stiff fine for the use of indecent language, and the other penalized for driving a '•ar without a license. INDEPENDENTS WILL OPEN BEASON SUNDAY. Manager Davis reports that the newly organised ball team is plan­ ning to open the season at Riverside park next Sunday afternoon, st 8.00 o-’clock. with the Bliss factory team of Hastings.

At last, after a long time of walking, a small white something showed ahead—the "Sting me for a hundred thousand, light of day. will they?" he repeated time after “We’re going through It," Freck antime., “Yes; they will—not!” It was long after sunriee when the « , I.. sleepy eyes of the freckled-face boy perceived the figure of a bedraggled man tolling up the elope toward the Cave de la Brent. His eyes were heavy, but there was an air of deter­ mination in them. He limped, but his steps did not falter. His face waaseu "Freck,” he exclaimed. "I’m hungry! Give me something to eaL" The boy was on his feet now. "What do you want, Mr. Brent?" "Anything short of sole leather.” came the answer. “I’ve got an appe­ tite that is an appetite. I want a loaf of bread, and I want the slices cut thick, and 1 want about ten times as much gravy as you made last night Did you get any frogs this morning?" “Yes—four." “I want all of ’em, Freck; I’m hun­ grySlice after slice of gravy-soaked bread was salted and stowed away. Frog leg after frog leg disappeared, before Thomas Brent leaned back grunting with satisfaction, and crossed his hands over his stomach. “Freck," be said with a look toward the cave, "where's those crawdadderur "Gone." “Live In town?" a hand on the truck.

Get me back to town to throw away a hundred thousand dollars, huh? Not If I know It! Not by your red ban­ danna !’’ He whirled and started back down the railroad track. Suddenly a sud­ den thought bit him and he almost ran. ‘‘Thom* crawdadders!" he .ex­ claimed. Steadily he pushed forward. Now and -then . he stubbed his sore toe against a jutting tie and groaned with the pain of -it. But the exclamation came through set. teeth, for, Thomas Brent, with a determined air, pushed “Probably tell all about what hap­ pened last night?” ‘‘Maybe. Mammy Taylsr said before she left she—’’ “Well,” broke in the man of the red feet, “Freck, we got to move, and It’s up to you to find a cave where ten thousand men on horseback with search warrants couldn’t hunt us out If they had to. And you’ve got to do It quick. Uaderstand?"

Another day came—then an­ other; another, and Thomas Brent as­ sayed a little trip to the creek where he watched Freck catch fish. Then be hobbled back to the cave to alt exceedingly still and purse his muscles. But all tilings must end, and within a week Thomas Brent discov­ ered that his muscles were not only well again, but that he was possessed of a strength he did not realise he owned; also that a certain spirit of dare-deviltry was beginning to make itself felt throughout bls system. One thing be realized was that for a solid week he had slept as he never had slept before and that.he had eaten more than he had in years. He rolled out of his blanket, thumped down to the creek for his morning ablutions. A jay bird called "Ws'r® Going Through It," Frack An- Whlta in ths Distance. nounced, as he saw the speck of white In the distance. As they kept on toward the light the space grew smaller. The sides of the tunnel narrowed down until Brent and his boy companion were forced to crawl on their hands and kneeu; but this they did, for with Thomas Brent going to the end of a thing was a re­ ligion. Slowly they approached the outlet before which showed a dense growth of underbrush and weeds. Freck was first. He stuck his head out Into the open air and started to penetrate the underbrush. Suddenly, however, he drew quickly back into the cave plump against Mr. BrenL “There’s somebody out there right In front of the hole," he whispered. “It’s two men. Listed! You can hear ’em talking.” The sound of voices had broken In and Mr. Brent strained his ears to catch the words: "Well, If they ain't at that cave, they must be at the one around the bend. Them’s the only two around here that the kid knows anything about, and If they’ve gone from the other, they most be here." “Hear that Freck T' Mr. Brent raked quickly. “Yea. ,U*s old Daddy Bill from Dod­ son," Freck whispered back. “I for­ got all about him. He’ll find us sure growled. "Hang that man! I don’t want him to tix-d me. First of all. I’ve got loo much against him. and secnndly I’m having too good a time. “Look here. Freck, I want you to ger thooe people out of the way. You understand? Here's ten doilars. Don’t give It up unless you have to. bur If It’s necessary, baud U to Daddy Bl!! and tell him to Keep his mouth shut. Understand? He doesn't mms ten dol­ lars every day to the week, does he?" Freck only gasped. Mr. Brent went on: “The other fel­ low that’s with him is named Scrottles He wants to find me and I don't want him to do It. More than that, I’d like to keep him chasing around the couu try just for his genera! health," he added sarcastically. “Do they know anything about this end of the cave?" “Nobody does. I reckon.” Freck an­ swered. “All right. Good! I’ll get the stuff and move it up toward this end where it can’t be found. You stay here until those fellows get a little bit off. Then you run out. aud catch up with them. Tell ’em I left here last night and have gone to St. Louis. Freck, I want you to show me you're a real sport by get­ ting that Scrottles fellow to follow me to SL Louis. Tell him that If he wants you to you’ll go along with him, but find a way to get out of iL Freck. Tell him he’ll have to pay your fare" Thomas Brent chuckled to himself. "Teh ’em I got pneumonia out here and went to a hospital In BL Louis— or anything of the kind. If yon get ’em on the train for St. Louis, you can stick that teu dollars In your pocket Understand me?” “Sure do Freck answered.

Mr Brent wilchJl F?eck slink out of the eave, dart here and there through the underbrush, and at last catch up With the two men. He raw them converse; he saw Freck point vaguely Into the distance. He chuckled tn himself, slowly at flrat. then harder. Philip* Scrottles had listened atten­ tively to Freeh’s story and was busily following him back toward town. Thomas Brent watched them out of sight and then, whistling to htmself. he started back through the long tun­ nel, “Skin me out of a hundred thou­ sand. will het’ He laughed. “Not if I know it!" CHAPTER VI Around the Bend Thomas Brent sat on a log beside Indian creek earnestly watching a bob­ bing cork in the stream. It had been three days since he and Freck had be­ held Scrottles and Daddy BUI. What had happened he did not know, but he felt sure that Freck hkd succeeded In a way, else he wohld have been back long before this. “That kid’s got a Jot of sense in his head,’’ he ruminated. “If I had a plant full of people like that. Instead qf b bunch of thieves. I’d be a millionaire today." Suddenly he stopped. ‘‘Come to think of it," he mused, “what’s a lot of money? It doesn’t do you much good. Just keeps spu worrying all ti»e time trying to get more. That’s the, trouble with a man when he’s making money. He always wants to keep making a lot more. Tom Brent. If you’d realized that fifteen years ago, you wouldn't be a wind-broken old horse now. By George! I wonder if that doctor knew what be was talking about? Wonder If this crazy stunt Is doing me any good? Come to think of it. I've been having a whaling good time,, There he goes again." Mr. Brent was addressing his re­ marks to the water now. "There he goes again—he’ll nibble a little bit too much In a minute. Take It under, take It under— Wow! I got you!" A fish was glittering in the air. Mr. Brent bent to detach It from the hook. Then he turned and looked up with a boyish laugh at the sound of a voice behind him. "Catching many, Mr. Brent?” It was Freck standing there with his hands in his pockets as though he had been gone an hour Instead of three days. -Hello, kid. What luckf . Freck grinned. “I sent him to Cin­ cinnati.” he said. “I thought he might get back too soon if he went to BL Louis. Cincinnati must be eight or ten thousand miles off, ain’t It?” Mr. Brent laughed. “Well. It’s not that far, but it’f some distance,'* he answered. “Freck, you’re a wonder!" “There was another fellow with him,” Freck rejoined. “A tell fellow; wore one of those long coats and a big silk hat.” "Brady!" burst out Mr. BrenL "Brady!

SECOND LIBERTY LOAN RONDS TO RE PAID OR EX CHANGED Mellon Calls Second Liberty Ix>an Ronds for Payment on Nov. 18, 1087. Washington, D. C., May 9.—Sec­ retary Mellon has called for payment on November 15. 1927, all outstand­ ing Second Liberty Loan bonds. In­ terest on these bonds will cease on November 15, 1927-* Approximately 81,700,000,000 of these bonds are now outstanding. While the bonds will be paid on November 15. 1927, it Is quite prob­ able that during the next six months the Treasury will extend to the hol­ ders of the Second Liberty Loan bonds an opportunity to exchange them for other Government securi­ ties. No announcement has as yet been-made as to the type of securi­ ty to be offered in exchange, or the date on which the exchange offer may be expected. The Treasury ex­ plains that the terms of the bonds re­ quire that a notice be given to the public six months in advance of the announcement, therefore, does not mean that the bonds will be paid at the present time, but merely places the holders on notice that their bonds will be redeemed on November 15, and will cease to bear intereat on that date. If holders of Second Liberties de­ sire to have their bonds redeemed, they should present them for pay­ ment on November 15, 1927, but if they desire other Government obliga­ tions in place of their Seconds, they should watch tor further announce­ ment and notify fheir bank to keep them informed of any exchange of­ fering that may later be made by the Treasury. In 1917 and 1918, It will be re­ called, when the Government was wiling bonds of several Liberty Loans, a nation-wide campaign was conducted, every available facility being used to reach the public and sell the bonds. The situation Is now practically reversed, and the Govern­ ment Is preparing to redeem or ex­ change some of these bonds. While no such elaborate canvas* Is contem­ plated for the redemption notice .'is was undertaken In 1917, the Treas­ ury nevertheless is making a special effort to Inform the holders of Sec­ ond Liberty Loan bonds that their bonds will cease to bear interest on November 15th. Banks and trust companies throughout the country will be asked to cooperate wRh the Government In spreading the news of this call for redemption, and in adviwlng the holders of bonds that the Treasury will probably offer new securities in exchange. For the first time the radio will be used by the cast from the larger radio stations ot the country. The :hit.urlauce at* bondholder* with, the tact Lhat their bonds have been tailed for payment is emphasized by the Treasury's recorda of previous calla lor redemptiou or exchange. These rw^o'rtM- show tuat there are still outstanding at the preaeiu. time, in the bands of the public, about $30,U0U,(»0u in Govern­ ment securities ’ upon which interest has ceasedIncluded in this amount, are 83,600.000 In Victory notes which ceased to bear interest in ln22 and 1933. -There are also outstanding 814,500,000 In tempor­ ary bonds of the several Liberty Loans, to which were attached only a limited number of interest cou­ pons. The last coupons matured some raven years ago. The holders of these temporary bonde have neg­ lected to exchange them for perman­ ent bonds having the full number of interest coupons attached, and un­ til such exchange is made they have no means of collecting the Interest. In the face of these facts, the Treas­ ury is especially anxious that the present announcement reach as many Second Liberty Loan bondholders as it is possible to reach through the press, the radio and the banks of the country. The 2nd Liberty Loan, which wsa issued in November, 1917, was the second large loan floated by the Gov­ ernment during the World War, and while this loan does not mature until 1942, tbe condition of the money market and of the Government’s fi­ nances makes it possible and advis­ able io call the bonds for redemption In November.

Both days were sp*-nt in that section of Barry county adjacent to the north end of. the township line between Hastings and Baltimore, townships. The 'occasion was In the nature .of a visit to our farmer friends, many of whom are readers b? The News. These two days were replete with friendly hand-shakes and newlymade acquaintances, and the fruits of this two-day trip will remain a fixed and cherished asset In our memory. We enjoyed this little trip so very much, and found so many things ut genuine interest that we are going to tell you abput it. The first place we stopped as we were on our way was at the pleas­ ant country home of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Lathrop, on the north side of the road as you go down the Barryvllle hill on M-79. Mr. and Mrs. Lathrop have lived more than sixty years In the immediate vicinity of their present home, and these two estimable elderly people told us a great many things of interest about Barryvflle in the days gone by. In the near future we will tell you about Barryville in the early days, in a separate story. Mra. Lathrop has been a faithful and reliable cor­ respondent of.The News for a per­ iod of more than twenty-five years. We wonder how many of the autolsts who have turned the corner on M-79 at the foot of the Berryville hill and have let their eyes roam ov­ er the country to the south and west, have not, in their own mind, termed it a wilderness and the end of civilization? Perhaps, we too, have been just a bit as thoughtless and uninformed In the past—but not now. We can now readily un­ derstand how very much the lines: "I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills;” found in the song, ''America”, could mean and must mean to the people who have been born and lived their lives in this section of Barry county. There is not just a few. but many fine homes and farms to be found among the hills in this section ot the coun­ ty. In our entire two-day trip we found a general spirit of content­ ment unequalled, we honestly be­ lieve, in any other section. Science and. invention during the past de­ cade or so have made it possible for these people to increase the conven­ ience and pleasantness of their home surroundings one-hundred fold The automobile, the telephone and the radio are theirs, and mighty few of the homes are without one or two or all three of these pleasures. Good roads are their greatest need today, and It will be but a few short years until even the good roads will have been built post their doors. The new road extending from M-79 and passing south through Lacey to connect with the already improved highway called the St. Mary’s lake road, leading directly in­ to Battle Creek. Is well under con­ struction. Wlfen this new road is completed it will give an outlet to market for many of the farmers. The contractor of the new road is Leon Meyers of Kalamazoo. Mr. Meyers has had a large amount of practical experience in road building and a tine and substantial road is assured. At present the grading and filling is being done with men with teams, but » little later a large steam shovel will be used. Grading has already been completed on more than a mile stretch of the road south off M-79. Just a word in regard to the scenic beauty of this particular sec­ tion of country, especially at this season of the year, and the congenial tillers of its soil. Nature has given these people something in tbe way of scenery that science can never bring to those people who live in sections free from hills and lakes— where sameness Is apt to foster lack of interest and the home life be­ come monotonous. If you are a lover of the great-out-of-doors, we can imagine no afternoon’s auto ride in any direction from Nashville that would prove more interesting and enjoyable to you than a trip, wind­ ing around through these wooded hills. From many of these homes one can see for miles in nearly any direction. Occasionally one will get a glimpse of a little lake and often­ times even a chain of lakes, nestling below and sparkling in the sunlight. No wonder these people are content­ ed and really enjoy tbeir homes and surroundings. We believe that even though many of them have lived for years, perhaps, on the same farm, yet they are able to find something new and beautiful in the scenery around them each day—something to stimulate and keep their interest alive in the tasks they have before them. If you have driven hurried­ ly through this section of Barry county you have missed a great deal, you have failed to see the beauty that Is really there. The roads are passable, although you may occas­ ionally have to shift into second. Stop on top of the hills and spend an half hour looking around. And, if you are thirsty or want to ask a few questions, don’t be afraid to go to any of The homes—you will be met with a friendly smile. — ' There are many places we might tell you about, but time and space forbid. However, we want to men­ tion the beautiful appearance of the Striker cemetery. Cemetery Circles are to be highly commended for the splendid work they are doing, and especially the one whdeh has for its work the care of this cemetery. Not a great many years ago this same cemetery was hardly noticeable to one driving by. In reality It had mor^the appearance of a blackber­ ry patch. Today It is enclosed with with a fine ornamental steel wire fence. Its lawns are kept mowed and the graves are neatly trimmed and beautiful flowers and shrubs grow­ ing upon them. The sexton of the cemetery, we were told Is Delbert Reynolds, living nearby, and we be­ lieve Mra. Reynolds 1® tbe president •of the Circle. The cemetery is on tbe top of a large hill, and one can gaae for miles in nearly every di­ rection.

Casteleln hill, on the Baltimore and Hastings townline is being graded and widened. When finished this will be a much needed improvement. We learned that Chas. Casteleln is a brother of Tay of this place. Chas, is a former resident of Nashville and many years ago worked on one of the sections of the Michigan Central out of this station. Mrs. Ella. Crittenden lA*a<l. During this trip we also found that our Baltimore friends are not always free from adversity and sor­ row. On Thursday afternoon when we stopped at the pleasant home of Rev. and Mrs. Willitts we were informed by Mrs. Willitts that her husband was officiating at a funeral at the home of W. H. Crittenden. The de­ ceased was Mrs. David (Ella) Crit­ tenden, one of thp highly respected dearly loved pioneer residents ot the community^ Mrs. Crittenden was born near Albion, N. Y.. in the year 1849, and died at the home of her son, W. H. Crittenden, Monday, May 2, 1927, aged 77 years. Mra. Crit­ tenden grew to womanhood near the town of her birth, and on March 22, 1876, was united In marriage to David Crittenden, They came to Michigan in the year 1881 and set­ tled on a farm in Chester township. Eaton county, where they lived un­ til moving to the farm in Baltimore township in the year 1893. The husband passed to hJs reward in 1911. To this union two sons were born. W. H. and Albert, the latter dying at the age of 16 in 1900. Mra. Crittenden’s death was caused from an attack of pneumonia. The Tunera! services were held from the home Thursday afternoon at one o’clock, and interment made in a cemetery near Vermontville. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Crittenden have our deepest sympathy in their sorrow. As we have previously mentioned, we found a friendly greeting at ev­ ery one of the homes we visited. We wish we really had the time and space to mention each one of them individually, and incidentally tell you about their pretty home sur­ roundings. We stopped a few min­ utes at the home ot a Mra. Eaton, another pioner resident. Mrs. Ea­ ton lives in a valley among the hills and has a very pretty little home with her son Sterling. Mrs. Eaton expressed her regret and sorrow in the loss of her neighbor, Mrs. Crit­ tenden, by death. We met with two families who had moved to this section only a short time ago. Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Mer­ rill and family, who were former Kalamo residents. The other family was Mr. and Mrs. Ray Clemens and the latter's father, who came from Hastings. The farmers in general are wqll advanced with their spring work, and crops art? looking fine. With favor­ able weather conditions the coming summer they are sure to be well re­ paid for their summer's labor. In making this trip we met with several rather amusing little incidents, which we feel we can enumerate to better advantage In our "Side Lines” colyum. where we are privileged to deviate with our stories from the straight and narrow path of veraci­ ty without giving offense.

Then Carl obtained ills credits from the Nashville schools and entered the University of Michigan. The World War was calling him, so later he en­ listed and entered the service. When the Armistice was signed and ne was honorably discharged he re­ lumed to his old position in Detroit. It was while he was In this city that ne first met the young lady from Jamestown, Pa., who later became bis wife. From Detroit, Carl went to the rtate of California, where he was employed by the Standard Oil Co. At LaHarba, California, In Septem­ ber 1923, he was married to the young lady we mentioned before. "We did not get her name, but we know she must have been a fine young lady or Carl would not have liked her."

The school board has posted no­ tices, calling for a special election on Thursday, May 26, to determine an additional site and provide for the purchase of the same. The site pro­ posed consists of the two residence properties adjoining the school grounds on the north, and their pur­ chase wilj necessitate the raising of 12,000 aside from the sinking fund already established. No building proposition is to be presented at this election. In connection with this election the board of education reports re­ ceipt of a signed pledge from Mr. and Mr^. Carl A. Lentz to donate 8500 to the fund for a site, provided the district will vote to buy these two lots. Mr. and Mrs. Lentz have always taken a keen Interest and been active in promoting the progreae of the local schools, and should be warmly commended for the public-spirited and generous at­ titude they have taken in this mat­ ter. Other offers of financial aid have been made since the last elec­ tion, but this is the only definite pledge received .by the board. BARRY COUNTY REBEKAHS MEET TN NASHVILLE. Monday evening the Barry County Rebekah association met at the Nashville club rooms, with a splen­ did representation present from the several lodges in the county. The president, Mrs. Elizabeth AshaLter of Hastings presided over the busi­ ness meeting, which opened with the song, "America." Over one hun­ dred members answered to the roll call, and after the business meeting the program was turned over to Mrs. Menno Wenger, who had in­ deed planned a very enticing even­ ing’s entertainment. A reading, "Rebekah Night," was read by Miss Castelein in costume. She was call­ ed back, but owing to throat trouble she asked to be excused, much to the disappointment of the audience. A violin solo by Mrs. Gladys Miller fol­ lowed, "Mazurka.” by Mlynarsti, and she responded to encore with an ar­ rangement of "Annie Laurie," by Dunn. Mrs. Miller was accompanied by Mrs. Edith Purchis at the piano. Mrs. C. K. Brown gave two read­ ings, "Aunt Doleful's Visit" and "The School Contest.” which were both fully appreciated. Miss.Mil­ dred Cole played a saxapbone solo for her audience. Miss Vivian Ap­ pel man gave a monologue, "The Lit­ tle Goose," with Mrs. Purchis at the piano, and graciously responded to encore. Joseph Mix played a violin solo, "The Old Refrain." by Krelsler, which was greatly appreciated, and played for the second number. "The Flower Song." by Lange. Mrs. Purchis played the accompaniment for him also. Little Miss Yvonne Appelman gave two recitations, which pleased the audience greatly. Helen Rothaar, Mildred Cole and Margaret Burton sang two popular numbers, much to the pleasure of the crowd. Miss Gladys Potter in her pleasing man­ ner sang "I Love a Little Cottage.” for her first number and followed with an encore number, Mrs. Miller playing a violin obligato and Mrs. Purchis the piano accompaniment. Rev. Karl Keefer of Hastings was called upon to entertain for a few moments, and he surely filled the bill. In his easy and interesting man­ ner. His talk was full of life and enthusiasm, broken by'funny stories and incidents of merit. Rev. Keef­ er seems to be getting famous for his "dog fight," and. he completed his message with that. Although his few words* were free and light, behind It all he Impressed upon the minds of the members of the Re­ bekah and Oddfellow lodges the seriousness of the obligations they had taken upon their shoulders and the wonderful work they were In. Following this splendid talk, Ken­ neth Bivens and Harold Woodard played a saxophone and clarnet duet, with Margaret Burton at the piano. They responded to a hearty encore. A potluck supper was then served, which was enjoyed by the members and their guests. Mr. and Mrs. P. A. VanTuyl furnished old-time fid­ dling for the merry crowd. The next meeting will be held at Prairie­ ville some time in June. MICHIGAN LEGISLATIVE LETTER Michigan Press Association Lansing Bureau. Landing Bureau, May 14, 1927.— bill was signed.

A com­ mittee was appointed to look after the planting of a pine tree in the Nashville pork to be used for the purpose of a Community Christmas tree. The meeting was then turned ov­ er to the entertainers for the "last day of school." Mrs, Minnie Cortright acted as teacher, and opened school by all singing "The Old Oak­ en Bucket". The school consisted of six sturdy girls. Myrtle, Lucy, Gertrud-', Aggie. Edith and Nellie, and two boys, Billie (Villa) and Tommy (Tiny). Mrs. Quick and Mrs. Vance acted as school directors. They visited school, and after hearing the spelling and arithmetic classes they criticized severely. However, after a rigid history quiz the school directors decided that both teacher and pupils were of excellent standing. If you have forgotten how to name the presidents in rota­ tion, ask Villa, and If you shouldn't know who James Ramsey McDonald Is ask Myrtle.

The pro­ ceeds totaled within a few cents of 8200. Every cent of this amount raised will be forwarded to the flood sufferers in the southland. Mr. Face is to be highly commended for making this fine donation possible. The expense of bringing th«* film, "The Sensation Seekers,-" to Nash­ ville and throwing it upon the screen and all cAher necessary ex­ penses such as lights and heat, were donated by Mr. Face. The Berry­ ville six-piece orchestra furnished the music throughout the evening during both shows.

The wed­ ding ceremony was quietly solemniz­ ed at eight o'clock, with Miss Edna DeRiar of Hastings attending the bride, and Mr. Robert McGlocklin as best man. The bride was dress­ ed in a gown of a delicate shade of sandwood, with white kid pumps and hose. The bride's attendant was garbed in a dress of similar color, a few shades darker, with pumps and hose of the new blonde color. Both the groom and beet man wore suits of dark blue. The latter part of this week the couple will move into their home on the South side, where they will receive their many friends. Both of the young people are very well known here, Mrs. Miller being a member of the graduating class of 1925, and since that time has been employed In the office of the Nash­ ville News, as assistant Linotype op­ erator. Mr. Miller, who resides just south of the village. Is manager of the freight depot of this place for the Michigan Central. The best wishes of their many friends go with them to their new home for a long and happy wedded life. I. O- O. F. ENLARGE DODGE QUARTERS Nashville lodge, No. 36, I. O. O. F., has bought from L. W. Feighner the hall over the A. A P. More, and has a gang of carpenters at work this week, altering the interior of the building. Partitions are being changed to provide for a lodge hall about 44 feet square at the rear of the building. The stairway will be left as It is, with a fine reception room at the left of the landing, and a kitchen and property room on’ the opposite aide. It will take two or three weeks to make the necessary changes and redecorate the rooms, and when rompleted it will give the lodge a home of spacious size and one of which the members may be prond.

No other superintendent has achieved greater things with leas fuse and feathers than he, behind whom was his staff of very efficient teachers and we are pleased that a large majority have been retained for another year. We sincerely regret the loss of Mr. Andrews, Miss Jones and Miss Thorlakson. Mr. Andrews has de­ cided he wants a vacation from school teaching and will cultivate his farm. May he meet with success. He will be succeeded by Mrs. Leia Roe. whom we are very much pleas­ ed to welcome again in our school. Miss Eleanor -R. Jones.* 1 English teacher for the past two years has accepted a position nearer home. We cannot speak too highly of her work here, and the best wishes of the community accompany her. Never have we had a more thorough and devoted teacher and principal than Miss Stefania Thor­ lakson. She is deserving of much praise for her successful coaching of our 1927 debating team, of which we are justly proud, they having re­ mained in the contest until nearly the last. She and Miss Jones will both- be greatly missed in the church and club, where they have been de­ vout workers, and ’-e bespeak for them our best wishes for success and happiness In their new fields of la­ bor. ' To me. education is a complete process, and altho I am impressed with the fact that there has always been a unity in the education pro­ cess and today despite the fact that we are meeting demands such as have never been met before, the fun­ damental principles remain the same. No man or woman can be educat­ ed unless he is socialized, unless he has a cultural background which enables him to use wisely bis leisure time and unless he has the training which enables him to support himself and those dependent upon him. Is certainly is desirable that we get this viewpoint and keep it clearly before us in all our efforts to make education "practical and popular." You know. I think America is com­ ing to the front with a new idea in education. Heretofore education has been for the benefit of the individ­ ual. but now it is for the mass. The time has come when the boy and girl come to high school, not for person­ al gain but for the same reason a man joins the army—service to his country. We have had teachers this year who have Imparted just such know­ ledge to their pupils, developing character foundation rather than in­ tellectual training. They have not said, "You haven't a chance to pass." but have encouraged them, made them their friends. Very often hope springs eternal in the human breast, if properly encouraged.

(U-45) ENFORCED CLEAN-UP C()MMENDED IN STATE. ■Com Borer Regulatory Forces En­ gaged Ln Compulsory Work in Town and Country to Protect Farmers Who Have Com­ plied With Control East Lanning, May 17.—Enforced clean-up of corn land in the coun­ try and corn patches Ln and about cities and villages throughout the corn borer infected area is progress­ ing rapidly, according to C. O. Lar­ rabee, supervisor of corn borer con­ trol work in the state. The Govern­ ment will afford complete protection to farmers who have cleaned up their premises in an effort to con­ trol the pest. County corn borer supervisors have been furnished with notices to serve on owners ot property who have made no attempt to comply with regulations. Two days after the japers are served, the regulatory forces have the authority to enter upon the premises and enforce the clean-up. The cost of such enforc­ ed clean-up will be assessed against the owner of the property and col­ lected oc the same basis as taxes ac­ cording-to existing state legislation.

The days passed and 1 was very happy because I did nearly every­ thing 1 wanted to. But one day came when 1 wasn't so happy. haarlem oil has been a world­ Dad and my two brothers were wide remedy for kidney, liver and going to the pasture to fix the fence. This place was about a half mile from home, on the river fiats. Of course I wanted to go along and labor with the rest of them. But no. I couldn’t go, 1 was too small and would get tired and cold. To cap the climax my brothers W HAARLKM OIL said that I couldn't go because rirls didn't fix fences, just boys did ft at. After they left I cried and stormed rorreet internal trouble*, stimulate vital around. I didn’t see why I wasn’t a boy Instead of a girl, for boys al­ ways did all of the things worth do­ ing, while at the best all that-girls could do was to sit around with their hands folded and look pretty. My mother told me that If I wanted to be a boy so badly, that I Hurry, Worry and Overwork Brinf should go off by myself and kiss my elbow which would change me into a boy.

M DOAN’S "ii3 It seems to be a misfortune for one to be tall for his age. At least I have always been reminded of be­ ing one of those unfortunates. All my life I have been bearing: "Oh. how tall you are getting. My! But I didn’t know you; you are growing so. We will have to put a stone on your head." Just supposing I did as they advised. I would become hump-shouldered and would look so much better, I suppose. "Why don’t you stop growing?” As if I had anything to say about WILMA FRITH ..

"You are getting taller than your father and mother, aren’t you?” Yea, they are both five feet, eight inches tall. No, not small either. My grandparents, and my uncles and aunts, all my cousins, and all my second-cousins are tall. Why should I not be tall, too? There are many advantages in be­ ing tall. 1 can reach things on the top shelf without standing on a chair. I can see all over the oth­ er people's heads and see the speak­ er. I can win a foot race, for I can take longer steps. Altogether I enjoy being the tall­ est person In our neighborhood. Note —The above theme was writ­ ten by Elizabeth Gibson, a sopho­ more. for English ten. IniLhUioa. (A chapter out of Margaret Nash's autobiography, written for Junior English.) AU the usual trials of a freshman were mine, and a few more. Of courts. themes were written by the sophisticated Sophomores about the ignorant little children who were presuming to enter the ninth grade. I remember reading a composition Mary Kinne had written for Mia* Surins’* Tenth English class. She spoke of the amusement she obtain­ ed from watching us bashfully (and painfully) learning the routine ot high school life. Most of u* were extremely loth to move from our own desks, although I'm sure I couldn’t tell why. Not until the last of the year was life altogether de­ lightful, for we so feared that some one would criticise the way we held the chalk or turned the pages of the dictionary (trying to find the mean­ ing of "to haze") or most terrible, the fact that we were knock-kneed. Whether in that condition physical­ ly before or not, we were after go­ ing through the ordeal of being freshmen. Nearly everyone had what would be termed by psychologists an "in­ feriority complex." What is that? I believe one can say that an "in­ feriority complex" is a mental atti­ tude an individual acquires of con­ sidering that he, his action*, his mannerisms and all bis Ideas are in­ ferior to those belonging to other persons. A freshman is peculiar­ ly susceptible to such a "complex”, for—oh, so many reasons. Being the youngest of a group Isn’t exact­ ly conducive to social prestige and poise. On an average ninth grad­ ers are least in years of the high school students, and I was the young­ est of my class. "Infant” was the most popular nickname given me by some ot my classmates. Was I meek? Oh, no, not in the least! The general shyness was helped along by the upper class men (all honor to their name) who always felt it their particular duty to im­ press their superiority upon the al­ ready awed adventurers in the strange ’realm. They easily con­ vinced us of the lowness of the freshman’s position on the social ladder of high school life. And how Insignificant we felt in Miss Surine's Latin I class. Of course, she gave us many valuable pointers as to just how to study, never forgetting to remind ns that mere physical site does not deter­ mine the amount of brains or the ability of said brains to conjugate 1-stem verbs We certainly under­ stood the difficulties Involved in for­ eign language idiom*. Why a Frenchman, reading th?. sentence: J "He walked up and down the room", > would quite likely have a mental I picture of some earnest gentleman ‘strenuously climblug a ladder, going Jterally up and down. We did get through the year quite successfully, however: received the proper amount of good and bad mark*, chiefly bad: were promoted to locations in the front of the room (I wonder why); had parties, enjoy­ able affairs; and were almost sorry when we were advanced to the ap­ parently carefree state of being Sophomoree. LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZES PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMS Never in the history of the state of Michigan has any session of the legislature given such full recogni­ tion to problems of public health as has the legislature of 1927, nor has any legislature in the history of the state gone so far to promote pub­ lic health. That tuberculosis is a problem of acute concern to the en­ tire state was recognized and both House and Senate set out to” deal with the problem adequately. Four bills dealing with tuberculosis have already passed both houses of the' legislature, and now await the gov­ ernor's signature. A fifth, while dealing specifically with tuberculo­ sis, will yet aid greatly in the solution of the tuberculo­ sis problem. That Governor Green will sign all of these bills, there is every reason to expect. Six hundred thousand dollars has been appropriated for new con­ struction and reconstruction at the old state sanatorium at Howell, and six hundred thousand dollars tor op­ eration and maintenance of the Howell institution during the next two years. . Five hundred thousand dollars has been appropriated for the construction ot a new state tubercu­ losis sanatorium at Ann Arbor. Over this measure tuberculosis forces in the state particularly rejoice. This measure means many more beds to care for the sick. .It means also an Sizes for Women and Misses unrivalled opportunity for the teach­ ing of medical students, and makes possible research In the great uni­ You’ll ijree theie ire v»lue» extraordinary when you versity laboratorlee. which it is hop­ ed, will go far toward the ultimate have noted the fine fabric, in exquixite multi-colored conquest of the disease. print, and rich Embroyderaea- the indiviual rtyle, and The fourth bill.

When a Ford leaves the factory it should have a serial number painted in large letters on the hood, or some other convenient place, for ,a sort of "distlngulsher.” The mechanical countenance of the Fords is so very similar that it’s difficult to tell one Ford from two -or.three other Fords. There is only one* slight difference— like with the young ladles—some of em‘ have more paint on. Many a package has been "stolen" because it was unintentionally placed in tbe wrong Ford. Mrs. Charles Ayers is tbe last, to our knowledge, to have a package come up missing. Mrs. Ayers came down town a few days ago with Miss Dorothy Edmonds, who drives a Ford coupe. After making the purchase of the package in question, she carefully placed it in the wrong Ford coupe. Khat’s all. But, we wonder what was in that package.

To substantiate this predic­ tion, you will see (rain or sunshine) a feller running around on Main street some time during the . day (Thursday), wearing a brand new straw hat. Just take notice of the latest style of the lid and how well this feller becomes the hat—no. we mean it just the other way around. And if you want to ask any questions about the new hat. where it was bought, how much it cost, and If It is paid for, etc., just walk up to the feller and say: “Why good-morning. Mr. (Tom) Pemberton, you know I’ve always wanted to wear a straw hat, but I’ve never had the courage to do so—I’ve always carried a suspicion that a straw hat on my head would look for all the world like that one does on • • •. Say. that’s sure a fine looking hat you’re wearing, good^day."

Both famUie* of Scotts lived on tbe street south of where John Higdon now lives. ' One of tbe early settlers whom Mr. Ithrop mentioned in particu­ lar was Lorenzo Mudge, who lives on a farm on the west side of tbe road south from the corner this side of the BarryvIHe hili. Mrs. Mary Ann Dellei, we believe we were told, worked for the Lathrop family for several years when a young girl. No doubt there are a great many more interesting facts and Incidents close­ ly connected with the early days and history of Barryville, but we are un­ able to give them to you at this time. We feel, however, that we should tell you about the Lathrop family, the most of whom will be remembered and are well known to many of our readers. As we have already mentioned. Mr. Willis Lathrop was born on a farm 2 miles south of Marshall. Mr. Lath­ rop’s birthdays have aiway been to him a sort of legal holiday, as he was born on the 22nd day of Febru­ ary (Washington's birthday), 1853. He was next to the youngest child in a family of seven, three sons and four daughters. They are, in rota­ tion of'their birth: Anna,' Egbert, Henry', Ella, Hattie, WlUis and Belle. We will give a brief synopsis of the life of each one. commencing with the oldest, which was Anna, Anna was a school teacher practically all her life. After leaving the parental home she moved to Carson City. Ne­ vada, where she lived until her death about fifteen years ago. Egbert, after reaching manhood, became a doctor. After receiving his M. D. degree he moved to tbe state of Iowa, where he practiced medicine for a few- years. He then came to Hustings, Mich., where he continued bis chosen profession. He died some fifteen or twenty yeans ago. Previous to the outbreak of the Civil war he was teaching school in the South. He enlisted and re­ mained in the service during " tbe duration of tbe conflict. Eleven months of this time were spent in tbe Andersonville prison. This prison became notorious as a military pris­ on during the Rebellion. Due to general unsanitary conditions, over­ crowding and Lack ot food 13,000 Federal prisoners died in the en­ closure between February, 1864, and April, 1865. It was feared at one time tha' he was dead, in fact his body was removed by a cousin in the South on a burial permit. It was by seemingly almost miraculous efforts and the. kind hand of Provi­ dence that his life was saved. Dr. Eg­ bert was the father of I>r. *0. P. of Hartings. Henry choeg the occupation of farnrinig. When a young mart at home he worked in his father's mill. When the Civil war broke out. he enlisted and served throughout the war. Seven months of bis life in the army were spent in the Libby prison. Ella was a school teacher before her marriage to Mr. Isaac Dakin. Her home was In the state of Wis­ consin. She died only a tew weeks ago, in March. Hattie was also a school teacher, and taught in the schools centering around Barryvllle. She was united in marriage to Winn Holmes ot Hast­ ings, who at one time was a partner of John Dennis and edited the Hart­ ings Home Journal. Belle was the youngest ot the family. Teaching school seemed to­ be a hereditary trait and ambition of the family. Belie, who was later to become Mrs. B. P. Seward, was well known particularly to the peo­ ple of this vicinity. She likewise followed the profession of teaching for a number of years. She was the mother of Mrs. E. G. ilothaar of this place. Her death took place in March, three years ago. Willis, as we have stated, Hta next to the youngest child, boyhood days were spent tn his father's mill and assisting in the store, and for some time after reach­ ing manhood he conducted the grist mill alone. However, tbe greater portion of his life has been spent on a farm. In fact, with tbe exception of three years spent in the west following 1876, he has lived entirely in Barryville, near the old home­ stead. The three years of hia life that were lived away from his boy­ hood hoffbe were spent Ln Carson City, Nevada. During his residence in Carson City he was employed oa a guard in the state prison at that place. Mr. Lathrop has travelled extensively eeM and west through­ out tbe United States, having virtted both coasts. Last week we promised to write be had made in the old mill poud a story regarding Barryvllle in the back of his father’s mill when he was early days, and incidentally try to a lad.

What a comedy!” Syd Chaplin proved in "Charley's Aunt” and "The Man on the Box" that he knew how to get the laughs. But he gets as many in "Oh! What a Nurse,” coming to the Star, Sunday and Monday, as in the two other pic­ tures together. Here is a laugh show that affords as much entertainment as one cau stand without grievous physical dis­ comfort. 1-t sets out right at the start to create laughter, and it keeps it up at a breathless, gurgling pace. Chaplin appears as a newspaper reporter, who dives from a ferry­ boat to rescue a girl, and gets pick­ ed up by a rum running tug, and who is forced into the costume of a boot­ leg queen in order to divert suspic­ ion from the real culprit. Like any good newspaper man, the report­ er, with an assignment to cover, does not pause even to change his clothes when he has a job to be attended to. The result is that, -in the boot­ leg queen's outfit, he runs into a mare of trouble, and. to get him­ self out of it, seizes a nurse’s cos­ tume. From then on, his Adven­ tures are indescribably comical. Like his brother, Charlie. Syd Chaplin is a born comedian; an art­ ist in his line. And his line is one that adds greatly to the hilarity of the nation., Mrs. Margaret Hecker and Miss Bessie Hinckley entertained the Clov­ er Leaf club last Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Hecker. Two new members were taken In. After the business meeting, games were played, and later lovely refreshments were served. A very pleasant even­ ing was enjoyed by the club. The Nashville Sewing class was very grateful to Mrs. Chester Smith, their leader, for the invitation to her home May 12, for their last meeting of the year, also to entertain their men folks for pot luck supper, which was enjoyed by all. The af­ ternoon was spent in checking up on the dresses. The class all expect to have them finished by achievement day. May 21. To show the apprecia­ tion of tbe good work Mrs. Smith has done for her class, they present­ ed her with a fenr and jardlnler. A number of Nashville people at­ tended the operetta Martha at Kala­ mazoo Monday evening, in which two local girls took part. Miss Mil­ dred Wotrlng, who took the leading part, and Miss Evelyn Wright. Among those from here who enjoyed tbe evening’s entertainment were Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Cook.

THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1927 'GLUME LIV District Voters Will Meet Tonight to Decide on Pun-tuning Two Lots and Providing Necessary Funds A special election called by the school board will be held at the Nashville club auditorium this (Thursday) evening, to arrange for the purchase of the two lots adjoin­ ing the present school grounds as an additional site. The meeting is called for 7.30, and the polls will be open from 8.00 to 10.00. Two ballots will be submitted to the voters, one determining the two lots in question as a site, and the other a bond issue of >3,000 to com­ plete the purchase, the bonds to be due July 1, 1928. The board, has taken options on the two properties for >4100, and if the proposition car­ ries it will require a down payment of >2100. This would be taken care of, however, by the >1600 already set aside In a sinking fund and a cash donation of >500 from Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Lentz. The advisability of procuring these lots is pretty generally recog­ nized, and the purchase at this time could hardly be considered an oner ous matter for the district taxpay­ ers. Naturally, the board has adopt­ ed no definite plan of disposing of the buildings on the tots, but if the proposition carries, a neat sum could reasonably be expected from wreck­ ing them, and the Baptist parson­ age could be maintained as a home for the superintendent with a saving In salary. It is to be hoped that every eligi­ ble voter in the district will attend this meeting and exercise their right of suffrage. The site question may be voted on by any citizen who owns property assessed for school taxes, or who is the parent or guardian of any child of school age. and has been a resident of the district for the past three months. The bond issue re­ quires only a majority vote, and on­ ly those of legal age who own prop­ erty assessed for school taxes may vote. Where the property la held under a joint deed, both the husband and wife ore eligible to vote. GROWERS TO STUDY' STOCK FEED TESTS. Experimental Result* Will Be An­ nounce! at Annual M. 8. C. Feeder* Day on June 9. East Lansing, May 23.—More eco­ nomical and efficient fattening ra­ tions for cattle and hogs will be dis­ cussed by Michigan farmers at a Livestock Feeder's Day to lie held at Ea-st lensing, June 9. Results of recent feeding experiments at Michi­ gan State College will form the basl* for the discussion. Members of the anima! husban­ dry department at the college say that the experiment to determine the relative worth of cottonseed and linseed meal in a ration for calves apparently will contradict the popu­ lar opinion that feeding of cotton­ seed mead to calves for long period* is injurious to the animals. Selected, cuts from jkrime baby beeves will be served at the noon luncheon. In addition to determin­ ing the value of rations In produc­ ing gains, the value of the feeds for producing high grade cuts of meat will be determined by slaugfhter tests of the animals. Test* of car­ casses will be made at the Belleville, Maryland, laboratory. One of the experiments is a con­ tinuation of the work to find how high a percentage of the fattening ration for bogs can be made up of cull beans before the quality of the pork produced is lowered. Cull beans are a standard teed In Michi­ gan. and it is believed that ‘.he ex­ periment will show whether the packers are justified in their conten­ tion that too many bean* produce soft pork. BARNES P. T. A. The Barnes P.. T. A. closed anoth­ er very successful year Friday even­ ing. when another well filled bouse was present to enjoy one more pleasant evening. After a short business session. Mrs. Hatch, chair­ man of the program committee, took charge of the meet. She had with her four sisters and their families from Woodland, who furnished the vocal music for the evening, and their quaint old-fashioned songs, and dressed ax they were in char­ acteristic Costumes, .brought much applause. Special mention should be made of the sacred song sang by the five sisters. The encore timber was in German. We can not say much about that number. The in­ strumental music of the evening was furnished by Mr. Shlbley, violinist: also of Woodland, and a three-piece orchestra, consisting of Air. Mat­ thews. Miss Tubbs and lady friend of Vermontville. These musicians are too well known to need any spe­ cial mention. Chria Marshall was the speaker of the evening, and among his many humorous stories he wove much good advice, which if taken will mean much to the future of our country, his subject being: "Work, Thrift and Saving." Thia concluded the program. A pot luck supper was served. Mrs. Hough waa chairman of the supper committee.

Already those who are not touring are dreaming of tours, of wonderful care-free vaca­ tions that are to be. But unless the dreams are mixed in reasonable quantity with the Ingredient of com­ mon sense, the wonderful vacation may result disastrously. Typhoid fever is a disease which formerly devastated whole peoples. It caused more deaths in past wars than bul­ lets did. In Michigan in 1900 tbe death rate from typhoid fever was 34.0 per hundred thousand of pop­ ulation. In 1925 the rate *had —1 dropped to 3.7 per one — hundred thousand of population. However, Michigan saw in that year one thous­ and cases of typhoid and 157 deaths were caused by it. Most of the cases are what is known as vacation typhoid. Men, women, and children, off on their care-free vacations, drank carelessly of milk or water at some remote cabin or stream, took no pre­ cautions against possible infection from milk or water. Then some­ times their carelessness resulted in illness or even in death. The State Department of Health Is doing everything it can to prevent typhiod fever; municipalties are do­ ing what they can to prevent out­ breaks of the disease. However, neither state nor municipality can do everything. Something lies within the individual himself. Three measures of precaution are being urged by those who have In charge the task of keeping the peo­ ple of Michigan healthy. They urge that water used either for drinking or for washing the teeth be boiled. Water may be sparkling and clear, and yet carry In It a sufficient num­ ber of germs to cause almost cer­ tain Infection. Water may have been tested at some previous time, but at the present moment be unfit for use. Boll the water that you drink or use for cleaning your teeth unless It has been tested and found free from taint within the Milk, unless properly pasteurised, should be bolted. Evan though you believe It to have been produced un­ der sanitary conditions do not feed It to small children or Infante unleaa It la boiled. A third precaution urged by those who know is vaccination against typhoid fever. Such vacci­ nation does not bring complete Im­ munity to the disease. It will not protect against maarive doses of In­ fection. but It will bring relative Im­ munity and will protect against or­ dinary Infection. Three shots of tbe typhoid vaccine are given In series of a week apart. The vacation should be planned ao that there will be time for tbe whois aeries In ad­ vance Tbe use of the serum cou­ pled with the simple precaution of using boiled milk and water, should ensure vacations free from the dan­ ger of typhoid. WHAT 1 HAVE SEEN IN GREATER DETROIT t By Albert Lents. . While driving over the great city of Leiron, one can see much to in­ terest him. One of the thing* that is very interesting is the widening and lengthening of belle Isle. They the.making tbe island one-half mile wider and one and a half miles lon­ ger. The procedure by which this is done is a wonderful'foat. They hare , what te called a sand sucker, that has a suction pipe, taking sand and clay, mostly clay, from the bot­ tom of the river, and then it is spouted through an 8-inch flexible pipe thai. can be moved about to suit the place to be filled. They already have the center of tbe "addition", a narrow atrip the required mile. The piping is in about 12-foot lengths with rubber connections at the points, which makes it flexible and easy to be moved about. Thia sand sucker is equipped with two powerful pumps. It looks like a building 50 feet square under cover. Tide is a ted­ ious slow process, but has to be done in order to make room for the ever increasing crowds that visit the Isle. They have added a large cement building to the already crowded park, and there are two elephants, two camels, two sea lions, monkeys, etc. Gee, but tbe sea lions can scream. They do their screaming at intervals of about a minute. There was a small monkey sitting near us. and when the sea Won open­ ed up at one of their seances it scar­ ed him so that he gathered up his chain and made for the top of the cage amid much*-- laughter. The smallest elephant went on a strike last winter. She got mad at some­ thing (they never found out what 1t was) and just tore down the barn where she was kept, making kind­ ling wood of the whole thing. She is now where she cannot run amuck. They Increased the number of deer on the island park: 1 saw a nmber of fawns while going by tbe deer and bear park. They have built a new $75,000 fountain in memory of Jim Scott, one of Detroit’s great sporting men. This fountain is situated near the west end of the isle, which also is to be made longer to make more room for tho ever growing crowds that emanate from the great city, whose skyline is also increasingly evident as one returns after an ab­ sence of five or six years. Another interesting thing is the scrapping of the 199 war vessels that Henry Ford bought. The scrapping took place mostly at Fordson, better known as River Rouge. There are two piles of scrap, one of which is nearly a mile long. 500 feet wide, and 10 to 15 feet high. In this pile of scrap were armor plate, deck plate, propellers, etc., all of which are to be melted up and made into automobiles. Mr. Ford is never defeated The river was too shallow to float the ships to be scrapped, but this did not hinder him from carrying out his plans: he employed dredges ta dig a deeper channel. The only waste to the pile of junk is the dust that the winds blow away. Another pile of junk consists mostly of life boats, and they all looked sea-wor­ thy to me. They even save the nails, bolts, and In fact everything made of steel. Mr. Ford has A very large plant, in fact, the largest in the world, employing 60.000 men. He also has his retail stores, dispensing meats, shoes, and everything that is needed by the men in his employ. Fordson is a city by itself. They have immense generating engines and ponderous electric 'equipment, employing thousands of men. and calling for many new buildings which are added as they are needed to carry out the plans of this great man. It would not be possible to describe all there is to Fordson: it has to be seen to be appreciated. government ownership The following is an interesting ex­ tract from an address by Henry S. Ives of Chicago, at the recent In­ dustrial Conference at Birmingham, on the evils of government owner­ ship; "Government ownership is the p. cduct of loafing minds and loiter­ ing ambitions. It is the indolent offspring of the static mind and Its ancestry may be traced back through a long line of drawdllng political soothsayers. As a theory, it lacks Imagination, originality, inspiration and romance. As an actuality, it is a stupid, dull, languorour method of carrying on the work of the world. It is the substitution of Govern­ ment deficits for private profits. It Is tho dragging brake on individual enterprise and a stubborn barrier to industrial progress. It is the Santa Claus idea of government, heralded by political sleigh-bell ringers. It has never won an economic battle, despite the unfair advantages It de­ mands in its own behalf. It has never developed a new Idea, it has never created anything except jobs. It is destructive of wealth growth and productive of debt growth. It deadens the will to do and nourishes the wiU to be done for. It makes politics instead of business tho na­ tional producer. Such is the indict­ ment of experience. The conspicu­ ous Government failures In the world have been In public owner­ ship. But despite this record there has been developed In this country a very strong agitation for the ad­ option of a system which hasn t worked anywhere else and which has always proved an effective bar to In­ dustrial development. In fact. So­ cialists use it deliberately as a curb to prosperity because continuing prosperity spells the doom of social­ ism.” Big show at tbe Star theatre for 5 cents every Wednesday, Thursday.

There are more telephones tn the State of Virginia than in Mexico, the West Indies and Central America combined. North America has about twofifth of the world’s total railway mileage and about two-thirds of the world’s total telephone wire mileage. Each minute of the day and night during 1926 an average of over one and a half telephone* were put into service in the United States. Additions to telephone plant and equipment in the United States dur­ ing 1926 entailed an average expen­ diture of over $500 for every miute of the year. New telephone wire was added to tho existing systems in the United States during 1926 at an average rate of over 10 miles a minute.

The bumblebees, sleepy at first, had come forth In a swarm by this time and in the darkness were at­ tacking the Intruder from fifty differ­ ent angles. He leaped here and there, he rolled upon the ground, he grunted, he yelped; be sprang to his feet and ran, brushing away the bees as he went.. “Lovely night, ain’t it?" he gasped sarcastically to himself as he felt the bumps on every part of his body. “Beautiful night!

"Fine chance I’d have going up to that house at two o'clock in the morn­ ing covered with bumblebee bites and a bathing suit," he complained. He scratched his head thoughtfully. "Thafd never do, Tom.

But this thing'll be funny when you come to look back on IL" He chuckled a little bit at the thought. “Blamed If it won’t It’ll be about the funniest thing I ever had happen to me. “Well, they haven’t got any dogs after all. have they?" He had reached the woodshed and had opened the door and closed it again in safety. He pawed anxiously about In tho darkness for a moment.

For a second or two the expression ai>out her mouth and eyes were changeable, then It re­ solved Into a laugh—a deep, feeling laugh in which even Thomas Brent wap forced to Join. “Well," she'bald, T don’t know who on earth you are, but you’re about the fnnnlest-Iooklng creature I ever set eyes on. Why don’t you come out from behind there T" “Can’t," answered Thomas Brent with a return to lugubriousness. “Can’t? Why?" Brent stuttered a moment before an­ swering. “Because you're a woman." he said at last, “and I’m a man, and I haven’t got on anything except u stingy little old pair of bathing trunks.” "Bathing trunks?" Another shriek of laughter. “Well. I never. What on earth are you doing here?" “Goodness knows, madam, it’s too long a story for me to go into now. It’d keep you standing here from now until tomorrow noon if I’d try to tell yon all about It. Say, has your hus­ band got any clothes In the house that would fit me?” “He might—if I had a husband," the woman answered. “But I haven’t. I'll ask the hired man, though.” The door shut and she -was gone. In ten minutes more it opened. A pair of overalls and a shirt were thrown In. “Best I can do." came in through the door. “I'll be waiting for you butside." Thomas Brent looked but little more Impressive than before when he left the woodshed. The woman was wait­ ing for him. With an appearance of dignity that made him only the more comical In his bare £eet and mudstreaked hair, he strode forward and stuck out a hand. "I want to thank you,” he said slowly. “I may not look It, but my name is Thomas Brent and I am the president of the Amalgamated Foun­ dry company in Kansas City. I—" The woman laughed again. “No, you certainly don’t look it,” she answered. “For goodness’ sake, come Into the house. I’ll bet you're about starved.” "Worse than that—I’m famished," Brent answered. She led him to the kitchen, and as she busied herself with the biscuits and country-smoked ham, and as Thomas Brent later busied himself with the very same delicacies, he told hts story, leaving out what details he thought were unnecessary. Gradually his words ceased as tee biscuits were pushed with greater frequency be tween his teeth, und he merely gurgled now and then as he attempted to end up his story. The woman, weak from laughing, sat on the opposite side of the table and gazed at'hlm. her hands on her hips. “I don’t know whether to call you the funniest man I ever saw In my life, the craziest man I ever saw in my life, or the most sensible man I ever saw In my life,” she said at last “Do you think It has done you good out here In the woods?” “I wouldn't admit it to any one else but you." Thomas Brent aald from be hind a bulwark of biscuits, “but It’s done me more good than twenty thou­ sand sanitariums, a flock of nurses, and h whole regiment of doctors. You ought to see this kid I’ve got He’s the wisest little head I ever ran up against. I’m going to grow him up to be general manager of my busineea." “What's bis name?” asked the hoat- “Goodness, L don't know," Brent an­ swered. "I cal! him Freck. Say, these biscuits are good. Wonder why they don’t cook ’em like this In hotels.” "Hotels?” asked the woman. "Do you live In a hotel?" "Haven’t lived in anything else since I can remember,” Brent answered. “What kind of ham is this?" z “Country cured." “Good, Isn’t It? Mind if I taka an other slice? Funny thing how the country gives a man an appetite. I never felt this way in the city. I don’t suppose you know much about the city, do your "Don’t I?" The woman laughed. *Tve had both sides of It. I came out here to get away from It and I think I’m going to stay." “Well, maybe you’re right. -Still, the city’s a pretty good old place. I made up my mind l*m going to stick out here sixty days, and then I’m going back." "You’re a fool If you do,’’ the woman said. “Weil, what am I going to do aDout my business?'' "How much of a busineos have you got? What's it worthr "Well, it’s worth half a million. The Amalga mu ted Foundry company, you know.” Brent slid proudly. “Half a million.

Mrs. Williams answered. “H<* has been dead eight years.” “Oh." skid Mr. Brent again. “Oh.” And then by way of changing the sub­ ject. he added: “Mind If I take Just one more biscuit?" Following that one, which was the lain, he rose heavily and watched Mrs. WlllHma pile the dishes Into the pan Once or twice he cl unsally helped her. then stood bashful!/ by looking with something of amazement upon the mas­ terly way in which this woman han­ dled things. To tell tbe truth, Mrs. Williams was the flint real woman Thomas Brent had ever come in close contact with. She was the only worn'an he had ever seen engaged in the mysteries of a culinary department, and to him tn tele stage of life the picture was amazing. "I’d like to-do something to help you," he said awkwardly, “but I don’t know anything about this sort of busl- whether I did the right thing.” . ”1 hardly think you did," Edwards replied. There had not hwn u *mlk> °«> hl» entered tee house, Freck and Mra. WlHiams were staring at him. Freck stepped forward. "Mr. Brent i« th* man that wanted to w-e you." he said. “He wants you to help him ou£ with something." Edwards lunched a little harshly. ."I- don --- ’t- believe I 'care to help Mr. Brent out with anything.' Jim Edwards, what tis the matter ”‘J,n> with you?” Mrs. Williams had stepped forward. Mr. Brent said nothing. The surprise was a little too great for him. •There is a good deal the matter with me," Edwards said. “First of all. I ‘endured everything except actual starvation in an attempt to live on what Mr. Brent chose to pay me as a salary. I gave him the best that was in me and then when I asked for a raise that I might marry Jennie, 1 war told that If I wanted more money I would have to get It somewhere else. That is my grievance.” Brent raised his fist and shook It. “You were getting a hundred dollars a month there as the bead .of the check­ ing department I didn’t know you, but I know your Job. You got a raise the first of the year and you got* one two months ago, and here you are howling that I'm a thief. That is the way with you ingratea!” "A hundred dollars a month?" Ed­ wards’ eyes were wide. T was get­ ting sixty dollars and not a cent more." “You’re—you’re— I can show you tee pay roll," Brent exclaimed, “where I’ve signed It time after time, and where I raised your wages." “Yes; and I can show you my pay envelope," Edwards replied. Brent didn’t seem to hear. He was pacing up and down, his arms waving. ‘There it goes again," he exclaimed. “Money, money, money! Why, look here, young man, there isn't a person in my office that has any kind of » Job at al! who Is getting less than eighty dollars a month." •There are plenty getting forty and fifty," Edwards answered. “Let me tell you something, Mr. Brent: Money is being wasted In your plant right and left They are just throwing it away, slamming It around here, there and everywhere on what you think are Improvements, while your employees are being starved to death. If you've signed pay rolls for aggregate sala­ ries of eighty dollars a month, al! I have to say Is that you bad better do some Investigating regarding what happens between the time you sign the pay roll and the time the money gets to the employees." Brent gasped. His fists doubled up “Scrottles!” he burst out. “I might “Wen, It’s time a man like you was learning," Mrs. wmiams answered with a laugh. “You’ve missed the best part of your life If you've never washed dishes. Now here, you take the towel in your hand like this, see? Then you take up the dish.with It and teen you get your band under the other end of the towel like this, see?" “Uh-huh,“ said Thomas Brent, rais­ ing his hands awkwardly and then dropping teem again. ’Then what de you do?" “Why. you just wipe the dish." "Suppose I drop it and burst it?" he asked. “Well, there’s the gamble," said Mrs. Williams. “There's a gamble In pretty nearly everything, even dish washing." Thomas Brent gazed admiringly across the dishes and dish water. "You're a wonder.’’ He beamed. “I never thought I—" A door opened, there was the sound of running steps, and a boyish voice called: “Aunt Margie, bos Mr. Edwards come yet? He said he—” a Freck paused In the door. "Why, hello, Mr. Brent,” he said in amazement. “How long you been here?" The cup which Mr. Brent was wip­ ing juggled for a second and was In imminent danger of fulling us he turned to gaze In amazement at Freck In the doorway. "Well—well, where did you Come from?" he asked. “Came from the cave," Freck re­ plied with a grin. / “What’re you doing here?" "Good lands!" The voice of Mrs. Williams had broken In, “You don’t mean to tell me that this Is the won­ derful boy you have been talking about. Goodness gracious me! 1 didn't know Jimmie Phillips was good for anything except to catch crawdads and get Into mischief." “Good for anything^’ Mr. Brent said heatedly. “Why, that boy's got more sense In a minute than most men have In yearr. He's got more business Judgment, he's got more tact, he’s got more diplomacy about him than half the ambassadors at Wash­ ington. Why, Mra Williams,'’ he con­ cluded. leaning far back and gazing admiringly at the boy, "you don’t know what an honor it Is to have Freck in your family!” He turned quickly. T heard him say something about an aunt of hla thst lived over this way. but I never connected you two until Just now." “Yes; he's in the family."

Go right ahead with It. Don't tell anybody how you happened to get those papers from me. If Scrottles conies back, to town, don’t let him know what you are doing until you get everything drawn-up, and when that Is fixed let me know. "Mrs. Williams." he said, turning ta her. “If anyone had told me three weeks ago thift I would turn over the handling of my business to a compara­ tive granger rather than see to It my­ self, I’d have called for a sanity com­ mission.

It was the Imperative volet of Freck. “if you people don’t stop talking these crawdads’ll all be cold, and I want Mr. Brent to have them while they’re good and hot" “Crawdads!” Mr. Brent scratched his head with a little chutkle. “I be­ lieve teat’s what got me really started on this- thing. If It hadn’t been for crawdads and a storm and a few other things like that I’d— Well, we’d have to go Into history to talk it over. । Let’s eat instead." . Thomas Brent drew up his chair and picked up a glowing crawfish. “How on earth do you get- on the imdde of these things?" he asked. CHAPTER VIII Magnate of Crawdads. It was three days after his confer­ ence with young Mr. Edwards that Thomas Brent lay in a shady spot be­ side Indian creek contemplating a large soiled package and a number of small sticks with strings attached Freck was In Dodson; he was making daily trips there now on a flea-bitten mare which Mr. Brent had bought from Aunt Margie, und waiting at the telegraph office for any message that might come for Mr. Thomas Brent Hedld not return to the cave until eve­ ning and Mr. Brent had the whole day to himself. Wt’s time I was getting Freck start­ ed in some business.** he mused; “something where he can live out in the country. I don’t believe you could change that boy to a city job." Suddenly he slapped his thigh heavily and pawed for the package of meat. He undid the wrapper, displaying a large beef liver, and then began cut­ ting It in small hunks and tying one to every bit of string. Then, sticking the poles In the bank of the stream about a foot apart, he sank the liver and began to await developments. Fa,r into the afternoon his activities continued, and then, staggering up the hill to the cave, he curried a gunn-­ sack full to the very brim with livecrawfish. “I don’t see why I couldn’t develop a money-making proposition for him," he mused as be went bark to thestream again. “That hoy ought to be a magnate in leas than a year." Whereupon he closed his eyes for the well-earned nap that had become a part of his afternoon life. When he awoke It was to find Freck and his flea-bitten mare near by. "AnJ luck, boy?" he asked. "No, sir; there wasn’t any news for you at all. Mr. Brent," Freck said. “Maybe it’ll come tomorrow." “Maybe it will. 1 don’t care much when it comes just so It gets here some time. Look here, Freck, do you ever think much About your own fu­ ture? What you are going to be when you grow up, and so on?" Freck’s face went blank. “Why, I thought I was going to be your confi­ dential agent" be said. Mr. Brent laughed. “You were, but you gave tbe Job to that brother-in-law of yours. I can’t have a whole flock of confidential agents, you know. Look How’d you like to be president of the Consolidated Crowded company? Of course, there wouldn’t be any consoli­ dation to It, but we’d just give It that name for the sake of the sound. How’d you like ItF "What’d I do?" Freck asked. (TO M CONTINUED.)

Mott mov­ ed his family into a log house that stood back of where Floyd Downing now lives. To get where the house was to be raised we went north up to where Wesley Williams now lives (there was a clearing then of about eight or nine acres, with a rail fenoe along the road). We let down the and drove across this field and went through the woods to where the house was to be raised. There were two men there who had teams and wagons. They were Vet Owens and Vet Stevens, and as they were ready to go to dinner, each team took part of the bunch and it so hap­ pened that Stevens was ahead and we were in Stevens’ wagon We had got about half-way across the field, whn Owens suddenly whipped up his team, pulled out on the left and got by Stevens before he could get started. Stevens saw that he could­ n’t beat Owens to the gap In the fenc4, so he pulled off to the right and headed for the fence about eight rods below the gap. When we saw what he Intended to do we dropped down in the wagon and hung on. Stevens knew what he was about. He struck the fence on the Inside of a corner that opened out. and the team cleared the fenoe. The front wheels hit the fence squarely, and It opened a gap. Pronto, and we landed in the road ahead of Owens. We have thought of it many times— of what a foolish trick It was. It was a miracle that it did not tnrn out seriously We were In luck as no damage was done. But thne files and those pioneer gatherings have well nigh gone Into the dis­ card, and: Never more we’ll go again. To those parties la the tall: To apple parings, husking bees— Never more a log house ball. But once again we’d like to go.

Over 60 percent of the toll and Long Distance telephone calls in tha United States are handled through cables. There are over a million and a half telephones in use in the city oC New York; London has a little over one-third as many. Eight cent® out of every dollar collected by the telephone company goes Into the public treasuries in payment of Federal, State and local taxes. About one-third of the world’s railroad mileage and three-fifths of the world’s telephone wire mileage are in the United States of America. The total number of telephone* in Canada on January 1, 1926, was 1,144,095, representing a develop­ ment of 12.2 stations per 100 pop­ ulation.

Men had been used to hunting at all seasons of the year, and to them leg­ islation restrictions concerning the taking of game and fish was an en­ croachment on their personal rights. They did not think that there would ever be a time when game and fish would not be plentiful. In reality, they thought very little of the fu­ ture along that particular line. Their big job was to tame the coun­ try and they were taming with an Iron hand. However, as the years passed by and the shortage ot game and fish became more apparent, sportsmen began to realize that the game war­ den was in reality a friend. They discovered that the laws which he was trying to enforce had been pas­ sed for their own protection and that without them tne attractions of field and stream would soon be gone. They also discovered that the game warden was a very human fellow and that he did not Intend to persecute anybody. They learned that the game warden and the game and fish department, in a scientific way was endeavoring to make hunt­ ing and fishing better. The game gardens discovered that they could get tremendous amount of co-oper­ ation from the sportsmen. They al­ so learned that sportsmen were anx­ ious to introduce new game Into the state and again the two elements were able to work together. The sportsmen introduced the game and the wardens protected it after it waa here. Thus, as the result of this co­ operation, the citizens of the state were afforded eport that they never enjoyed before. The game warden is the friend of every citizen. His _ sole \ duty ~ \ ~is to ~ try to make conditions such that there will be more 2_ ‘. __ 2 _____ fish aud game. Through h’s activities tbe outdoors should become more Interesting. He Is not trying to deprive any citizen of anything. He is merely protecting the property that belongs to all of us—the creatures of tbe wild.

Then he rose hurriedly and passed the candle along the sides of the wall. “Freck." he asked quickly, '"who owns this land around here?"

Til just plug along—vny turn will come tomorrow.’ Yesterday, it seems that Mr. Franklin suddenly resigned his position as bead of that department, and Arnold Smith walked right into the president's office and asked for it—and got it! Dick Just calmly poked along, never thought of asking for the advancement, thought It waa a fine chance for Ar­ nold Smith! When I scolded him about it he merely laughed and said the same old thing!" "That his turn would come tomor­ row r “Yes. Then—one word led to an­ other—and I told him I would not marry a man who did not recognise opportunity when he* saw It—and so I ended It" “Yes, dear, you ended your en- . the -seem roeena that______ you blamed Dick—you could not see and recognise an opportunity to bold the love of a mighty fine man with a great future!" Helen, unconvinced, went npstnlra to prepare for her afternoon bridge party. Dick had gone out of her life, she did not realise what had hap­ pened. "It’s a wonderful thing for Ar­ nold,” said his sister, Freda Smith, "an Increase of a thousand a year out of a clear sky—though ha did ask for it! Mr. Blake told him that they trere going to offer tbe va­ cancy to him." “Helen. I should think Dick Lang deserved promotion if anyone did," ejaculated tactless Beth Blake. “Dick has worked there for years longer than Arnold. I told Dad my opinion last night, and he only laughed and said, that Dick would have his promotion some day I I like Dl< k—he Is a dear, and if be was not your property, Helen. I would smile upon him more sweetly than I do novy." It was rather an unhappy ram­ mer for Helen Merton. After awhile the news of the broken engagement leaked out. and Helen saw Beth Blake deliberately focus her attention upon Dick I*ang. Dirk must be working very hard this summer for he looked rather thin and worn, but Helen only met him face to face once, and then his greeting was gravely courteous. He was .seen driving Beth Blake in his shabby little car. and Mrs. Blake v.hh quoted as saying that "Dick was a rising young man." Then one night the blow fell.

She was bowed with sham* over her treatment of him. Through her tears, she glimpsed the blurred outlines of the old Lang house where Dick lived with bls parents. She wanted to run over there as she had done In the past happy years—she wanted to tell Dick she was sorry he had lost his position and if he still loved her she still wanted to marry him and together they would make a future! She was half way through the or­ chard when she saw him coming, and she ran to meet him VIth wet syes and outstretched hands. “Oh. Dick, Dick, father has told me, and I am so sorry." Dick took her bands and looked down at her very tenderly. "What did they tell you, Helen?” That you’d loet your position.” •They are saying the same thing Ull over town." he acknowledged.

MAKING HOUSEHOLD TASKS EASIER FOR HOUSEWIVES Traveling Kitchen from M. S. C. will be exhibited in Burry Coun­ ty Next Week A traveling kitchen will visit Barry countl on June 13, 14, 15, 16, __ Rto-thekitchen but, in this instance, tbe kitchen will travel hundreds of miles in Michigan tbds summer to save steps for housewives. This kitchen has been built on a truck by the agricultural engineer­ ing and the home ^economics de­ partments of Michigan State College. The model is arranged to show how equipment may be placed to save steps for the home maker. Some of the ml lee traveled each day by housewives can be saved by a simple rearrangement of kitchen equip­ ment. Studies made ot the time by wom­ en in performing thjeir household tasks show that 70 per cent of the working time is spent in the kitch­ en. A pleasant, convenient room will assist in making this time a more enjoyable period for the housewife. TUe home convenience truck which will visit Barry coun­ ty will have exhibits of attractive and easily cleaned floor and wall coverings for the kitchen. The truck will also show simple, inexpensive types of water systems which will work efficiently In fann Homes. I^aundry and balhrdbm equipment will also be shown. County agricultural agent, Paul J. Rood, says that questions about the installation of any equipment shown will be answered by special­ ists from the College.

It being an ideal day a large crowd, numbering around six hundred, gathered from all dis­ tances to attend the second annual Achievement Day of the Eaton coun­ ty groups of the Clothing Extension Project, held In the Masonic Tem­ ple, Charlotte, June 2, 1927. The temple was prettily decorated with spirea, snow balls and Hilles of the valley. On the side walls long pieces of muslin were stretched on which was fastened the exhibit in the order In which the lessons were giv­ en from the mounted pictures of our first lesson to the finished dress­ es and underwear. Several anti­ que articles were also on display, all receiving many comments. The forenoon was spent in view­ ing the exhibit and the usual busi­ ness meeting in charge of Mr. Tay­ lor. Mrs. Bernice Curtis was elect­ ed president and county chairman and Mrs. Deila Quantrell secretary­ treasurer, for next year. A fine dinner was served at noon by tbe Methodist Ladies* Aid socie- and to five other Michigan telephone workers, for outstanding acts of ser­ vice in the performance. .

But there’s nothing strange in that. Its vivid beauty places it in the very front rank of America’s smartest cars. And its famous six-cylinder engine provides all the spirit and dash and stamina that such a swanky type requires.... Never in any low-priced six has the appeal of the intimate closed car type been so admirably expressed! Never has any six of the type provided such commanding value!

We are In receipt of an unBignod letter which reads as follows. "Mr. Face: Why not have a few pictures in your theatre like these? Metropo­ lis. Stark Love, King of Kings, Res­ urrection, Rough Riders. Three Hours, White Gold. You are cele­ brating your first year here, is that the reason you saved a picture a year oki to show? Do you think the people can’t tell an old show from a late one? It looks that way. Sincerely a lover of GOOD pictures.” We are using this as our only method of answering this unfair let­ ter. It is unfair because it is a stab from the dark. It it true that tbe party writing this knows good pictures, but it is also true that she does not know the first thdng about how pictures are marketed. She wants us to play The Rough Riders and The King of Kings which up to the present time have been shown in New York and. Los Angeles onely. They are road shows the same as Ben Hur and it will be months be­ fore any theatre win be able to buy them. As far as we are able to de­ termine Metropolis has never yet been given a public performance. A short time ago tbe release date had not yet been decided. Resurrection is a greet picture and has been re­ leased for at least two months but it is tar too dirty and unclean for ns to show to our patrons.

In ills own department of science—ap plied psychology—he has achieved about as high u place ns It la possible for a man to reach, k this Held ills reputation does not have to lower its colors to any other in the jrorld; and if in his periods «»f relaxation he chooses to be frivolous, no one can afford frivolity any better than he. 1 suppose that the very idea of frivolltj used in connection with Prof. Ronald McAlister's nitmv would make most people laugh because of the grotesque unfitness of It; and the people wli«* know him only ns a gaunt, gray old bachelor, with a ringed, homely, deep ly lined Scotch face and a big rough voice, would be right to laugh.

He doesn't mind their smiles, and the light-hearted emptiness of their lives has a mysterious sort of attraction for him. And when I see him across our llttl*table, blLtwinkling gray eyes glowing with excitement, his long ungainly arms and expressive hands workiru away in enthusiastic gesticulation, hlbig voice booming out the story oi some sensational crime, I can't reallj wonder that a good many people no<i and wink and giggle.

Yes, I'll talk with Doctor Reinhardt right here.” A moment later n portable telephone was sfct down beside the doctor’s cof­ fee cup. When he had hung up tbe receiver, and motioned, to a waiter to take the telephone away, he turned to me— “Reinhardt Buys he’s got a queer case out at St. Martin's.

My- chief looked a little surprised, and, perhaps, for an Instantaneous moment, ho hesitated; but then he said heartily: “Why, we’d be glud to have you come. Reinhardt won't ob­ ject. I’m sure, only I’m afraid you may find us rather dull company when we get going on our hobbles." (TO BE CONTINUED.) GOOD ROAD6 DEL’MND ON MODERN BUILDING METHODS. Do nut grumble at the ''detour'* eigne. They are unavoidable when roads are being improved. But what does a little inconvenience amount to in cotnparsion with the permanent advantages which a good road assures? Twenty years ago a detour sign was unknown. Men worked slowly with picks aud shovels, wheelbar­ rows and horse drawn dump wag­ ons. There was seldom enough road torn up at one time to pre­ vent traffic from going right through where the work was Ireing done. . But today, It is often necessary to have many miles of road under constrgction at one time In order to furnish sufficient work for the Caterpillar tractors and steam shovels which move a wagon load ot dirt where a laborer used to move a shovelful. .With such equipment, it is chea­ per for a county or state to build good roads than it used to be to maintain what would be considered today as merely cow trails. Coup­ led with scientific methods of road grading, which can only be accom­ plished with modern machinery, have been developed standard meth­ ods of hard-surfacing. In a recent issue of "The Survey­ or,” published in London. England, British engineers acknowledged in­ debtedness to Americans who suc­ cessfully pioneered the use of as­ phalt as a surfacing tor a cement road base. The article predicts the substi­ tution of bituminous concrete for hydraulic concrete, claiming that this form of construction will pro­ long the life of the asphalt road, in addition to speeding up the comple­ tion of the large amount of resur­ facing work demanded by the de­ velopment of modern motor traffic. In recent years extensive devel­ opments have been made In the use ot other than hard broken rock as solid material for asphalt foundations, with the result that at tho presennt time clinker, funnace ash. colliery refuse. broken concrete, slag. etc., are employed with success. .

Rentschler was born in Detroit March 6. 1894. and went to school In Detroit and Grand Rap­ ids before coming to Nashville; where he graduated with the class of 1913. In the month of May. 1914, he returned to the city of his birth, to work In the People's State bank, and Is still with this institution— "almost a fixture.” Lawrence has taken several courses in the Ameri­ can Institute of Banking and Is now assistant manager 6t the Baker street branch of the People’s State bank, with a total resource of |3,287,000.00. We can see it Is quite a bank, if it is only a branch. Law­ rence served 19 months In the navy during the World War. on the De­ stroyer Craven, which was attached to the Asiatic fleet, most of the time being in the North Sea and the Mediterranean. Mr. Rentschler is a single man and lives at home, 308 Belmont avenue. Detroit, with hte mother and brother Earl. Class Day Exercises and Commence­ ment Night WeU Attended. Wednesday afternoon of laat week Putnam park thronged with the twenty-eight -graduates, their rela­ tives and friends, who participated lii the splendid program suited for the occasion. Each number was given in a finished manner, which brought satisfaction to everyone present. Ok! Sol climbed high into the sky after the brief shower of the early morning, and aside from the tact that the rather strong breeze blowing through the trees that adorn the park caused the audi­ ence wiho sat farther back to miss a part of the program, was complete in every detail. The Seniors, usher­ ed by the Junior class came from the side of the standpip: hill to the south, while the'orchestra played a march for them. After being seat­ ed in a semi-circle, composed of reed and wicker chairs and with a back ground of lattice work that waa al­ so decorated, the salutatory, given by Helen Furnlss, was enjoyed. Miss Furntea’ address showed careful pre­ paration, and waa given in a delib­ erate manner, her voice carrying splendidly. Velma Hoffman gave the class poem, and her presentation was excellent. A song. "Over the Hills at 'Break of Day", by six mem­ bers of the class, was thoroughly appreciated by the audience. The "Class History", given by Ralph Tieche and Mabel Mater, afforded much amusement as well as giv­ ing those in the audience who were not so well acquainted with the class, an Insight on the members of the class. The history was given in the form of a casual meeting, and was very interesting. Wilma Frith gave the class will, which was very cleverly written up, and well deliv­ ered. A trombone solo was then en­ joyed, being played by Orville De­ Bolt, with Graydon Andrews at the piano. He also responded to a hearty encore. The Class Proph­ ecy. written by Van Gribbin. was full of mirth and pep. and Van surely has a lively future planned for his classmates. Miss Vonda Feighner pleased her audience with "Lullaby Moon", a beautiful piece, exactly suited to her rich mellow voice. Eliz­ abeth Smith, the Valedictorian for the year of 1927, gave a fine talk, richly consisting of well developed thoughts from the work the class has covered for the past twelve years, and uniting them with the many more years of labor confronting them. She discussed the value of education, and the two other requi­ sites closely connected with educa­ tion, 1. e., character and personality. She spoke of the relation of the past and future, which, combined, would round out a fruitful lite, giving the highest possible returns on their lives. The program closed with the Nashville high school song by the members of the class. On Thursday evening the Metho­ dist church had a capacity house to witness the Commencement night events for the class of '27. The march was played by Graydon An­ drews, and the twenty-eight Seniors took their places on the rostrum. Rev. A. L. Bingaman gave the invo­ cation. A piano solo, "Cujue Animan”, by W. Kuhe, and a vocal so­ lo, "Trees”, by Joyce Kilmer, were the musical numbers on the program, both of which were much appreciated by the audience. The address, delivered by Smith Burtybam of West­ aa> one nf ern State Normal » was of tha the most impressive given to any high school class in the state. He is a forceful speaker, yet does not need any manner foreign to his make-up to Inspire hte audience. No out­ bursts of sudden emotion, but his whole addreee was to the point, with much wit and his talk was decidedly entertaining. Mr. Burnham was very carefree in his talk, end Is one of whom hte audience does not tire. His talk was directed to the younger group especially, pointing out to them the vision of a life of earnest, and deliberate work. He empha­ sized the necessity of trained men and women, and their need to carry on. and on. Hte address could nought but Inspire both the old and the young: the class as well as the audience. Mrs. Floyd Everts, pres­ ident of the school board, present­ ed the diplomas to the graduates, after expressing a few words of thanks for her being chosen the one to do this honor. The program was closed by Rev. G. E. Wright, who gave the benediction.

There were 341 cow* tested the fourth year. The average production in the as­ sociation last year of 361.8 pounds of fat per cow was worth 1180.80. The butter fat produced by the av­ erage cow the first year of the as­ sociation was worth 1122.80. Feed costs were higher the fourth year but butter fat prices had also increased so that the return above feed costs for the average cow in the association was 844.61 greater Che fourth year than It was the first. For the 241 cows in the association the gain was 810,758.01. In the Otsego cow testing associa­ tion one member bought a nine year old grade Holstein cow for 55 dol­ lars. The cow was put on test in tbe association and produced 415 pounds of fat in eight and one-half months. The owner ot the cow had a sale and tbe cow and her calf sold for 300 dollars. In this case, the Increase in the sale price over the purchase price was directly due to the proof of the value of the cow as shown by association records.

Beverdlge numbered his troops and found 89 men and two officers. O’Connell had a few more but the eight companies could not muster 250 men. Men and officers had gone the limit. The battalion com­ manders would not sacrifice the lit­ tle group of loyal and valient men who yet remained to represent the 200 men companies of a week earli­ er The maneuver with boards and doors was not tried out. To cover this crossing however Col. Langdon had ordered Maj. D. L. Remington commanding the 121st M. G. Bn. ’.o furnish'a machine gun barrage across the stream. Major Dan took a section of guns from McCullum's company and supervis­ ed the firing himself. After a short burst of intense fire across the bend Lh»‘ guns were pulled out just in time to escape a blasting artillery retaliation. > In the early morning of August 5 Capt. O'Connell went over to the sec­ tion of the town held by Beverdlge’s battalion. While passing through the outskirts of the city a soldier who seemed to be on guard before a corrugated iron shelter called for help. O’Connell turned aside to In­ vestigate. The soldier explained that the evening before just at dusk a bunch of Germans had run Into the place and he had held them there all night. "I was alone," said the soldier, “and I didn’t know whether I could handle them or not. I thought some one would come along and help but nobody came. 1 can speak some German so every hour or bo 1 told them to behave and not tempt me to nboot them. Gosh, I’m glad you came because 1 was get­ ting tired of this job." O’Connell was alone but some distance away could be seen Beveridge and his troops. He blew his whistle, attrac­ ted the commander’s attention, held up Are fingers, outspread and beck­ oned. Five soldiers came over quickly. The guard issued one more order to his prisoners t<? come out with hands up and eight un­ wounded Germans filed out. Un­ fortunately this man’s name was not known at the time tils Identity is lost. I should like to learn bls name and 1 know General O’Connell is equally interested. Later in the forenoon a platoon of engineer troop* came up to replace the Flsmes-Fisme‘te bridge. Capt. Beveridge, Lieut. McCullum, Lieut. Sam Oakey and one of the batallon scouts went down with the engineers to examine the destroyed bridge. The ruins laid In the stream. The scout started out across the masonry. Lieut. Oakey followed his scout with Lieut. McCullum in rear. The scout was half way across, the scout officer was close behind. McCullum was un­ der the ruined abuttment, Beveridge and the engineers were back two or three rods on the approach. At this Interesting Instant two German sol­ filers popped out of a shack 50 yards away, ran to a concealed machine gun and started to Are. Scout, scout officer and all behind them percieved the hostile Intent before Are could be opened. The scout, Oakey and McCullum dropped down be­ hind convenient masses of masonry and managed to crawl back without exposure. The engineer platoon ran a race to the nearest corner and a side street. Beveridge, though handicapped by a long overcoat, gave the engineers a bard race. To this day McCullum declares that for a block the skirt of this overcoat streamed back as level as a card ta­ ble. The Scout Officer was not excitable but when the panting group again assembled on a side street he did say “Why the hell you engineers carry rifles beats me." No bridge was built. Later the 28th Division put one In and some companies were in Fismette a day or two bnt a Ger­ man counter attack sent them back and the Germans found the bridge convenient to use In an unhealthy raid into Ftemes. It was again de­ stroyed and was not rebuilt until the Germans withdrew from the Veele a month later. . Cranky prejudices about certain ••INSIDE” INFORMATION .

A surprise was planned and ef­ fectually carried out by the Baptist Children’s church upon Pastor and Mrs. Lewis last Saturday afternoon.

About g 1.OOO,(MM^ Will Be Received By Michigan Growers for Fight­ ing Pest—Claims Should Not Exceed 82.00 Per Acre. Uncle Sam has opened up his pocket book and is busily engaged in making payments to Michigan far­ mers for their extra labor in fight­ ing the corn borer. It is the earli­ est ’’cash crop” which farmers have received in years, according to re­ ports at Michigan State College. Extra labor fee payments to far­ mers in the corn borer area arc now being mailed out of Washington as fast as the vouchers are received. It is estimated that approximately 11,600,000 will be paid to some 85,­ 000 farmers In the 28 counties affec­ ted. Truman Eggleston of Jackson county is the first Michigan farmer to receive his check. Vouchers for Emory Smith of Lapeer county, George Conley of Calhoun, and Irvin Sober of Shiawassee county, and nu­ merous others, are on their way to Washington for payment, according to advices received from corn borer headquarters at Toledo, Ohio. Some farmers are filing claims for more than 82.00 per acre, which is very likely to result in delay in the payment of their vouchers. The law provides that not more than $2.00 per acre can be paid for the clean-up. In cases where the ex»ra labor in­ volved amounted to more than the maximum allowed by law, farmers are advised by the State Department of Agriculture tn file their claims on the basis of $2.00 per acre. AMBITION OF SIX YEARS FULFIL­ LED BY LUAJAN GISH Descendant of Early Puritans, No­ ted Actress Inspired by “Scarlet” Letter" Lillian Gish, celebrated star of the screen has Juet fulfilled an ambition of some six years in playing the role of “Hester Prynne” in Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic romance, “The Scarlet Letter.” For six yean the actress has mentally rehearsed the role, hoping that some day she would be riven an opportunity to play the dramatic heroine of one of the most famous romantes In the world. The fulfilment of her ambition will be seen Sunday at the Star thea­ tre when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer will present her in the role. The new picture Is the dramatic story of a Puritan woman who car­ ried a badge of shame through life to shield the roan she loved.

Uf} F COURSE, if I did not have >-/ alt the money I wanted 1 wouldn't dream of playing with flying machines,” Alice Wayne thought as she prepared to enter the little ma­ chine built for her own pleasure. She smiled a last good-by to the man who had her machine in charge as she rose from the ground. Little by little she ascended, bathed In moonlight, flooded with the fresh cold air of the upper plane*. “All my troubles are below," she thought with a bitter little laugh." Of course she knew that her engage­ ment to Charlie Blake was ended—had she not broken it herself yesterday? Still he was not the only man in her world—In any world whatsoever! She hoped that he would go to England on the next boat—that would be sail­ ing today. So enthralled had sb* be­ come in her problem that she was not aware where she had wandered when suddenly she heard nn odd noise above the roar ot the engine. She turned her heed. Another machine was behind her. Was the driver blind that be could not perceive her machine? Could she drop? Dared she? Ignorance dares anything. In an Instant after she touched that small lever the machine was volplan­ ing toward the earth. A sudden faintnee* came over Alice Wayne. She could not find that same small lever to pull it forward to resume her even flying! Suddenly she fainted—she did not feel It when the car crashed among the branches of a huge, widespreadIng oak tree, and stayed there. She did not hear the voice of Charles Blake calling out to bls servant* as be came out to view the disaster. “What Is IL James?" demanded Blake hurriedly. “Flying machine, sir,” called the butler. “Somebody In here—uncon­ scious. I guess." "Better get him down—or do you want hplp?” "He’s a little feller, sir, but well have to have a ladder." They shouted for a ladder, and pretty soon a great stout ladder crashed through the branches and found a brace against a branch. “Hl take him down,” said Blake, and, pick­ ing up the little fornix was astonished at Its lightness. He said nothing, however, and when he reached the ground, called to his housekeeper, and. still carrying his unconscious burden, bore It into an unused bedrodm. “This young fellow's lost his senses, Mrs. Carey," he said. "Can't you do something for him while I telephone for the doctor?’’ "Good gracious, Mr. Blake." cried the woman, “it's a girl!” , “Yea," said Charite Blake In a queer, strangled voice. "It is a girl—one tha* I know, too. Mrs. Carey, can we keep this a secret from the serv­ ants?" "I will try, sir." “It will be difficult for you. Mrs. Ca-1 rey. to take care of her alone." ‘ Mrs. Carey laughed softly. "Not at all. Mr. Blake—not at all— I hupe you won’t let this accident stop you from your trip to Europe." "It may—please do not mention my name Just yet, to this girt” An hour later Doctor Smith shook Mr. Blake by the hand, assured him that the patient was resting quietly after a severe fright, and .that if they could discover the patient’s name, friends could be notified. Charles Blake stood there a long time after the doctor went He was wondering ab.mt Alice—what had she been doing in a plane at night? Just because he had told her yesterday that he did not approve of airplane* for women, she had broken their en­ gagement Yet he had thought that she loved him—he shook his head In deep despair over the quandary that confronted him. Perhaps she really needed a firm hand! It was three o’clock when he tele­ phoned to her family, and It waa four o’clock when the Wayne automobile dashed up the avenue and Alice’s par­ ents arrived at his house. "She’s sleeping like a top now," said Charles to Alice's anxious mother, "but if you wll! go up there Mrs. Carey will find a couch for you." In the library be talked with Mr. Wayne for an hour. "She’s a kid. Alic* to," said her father emphatically. “She will never have an airplane again—what she needs is to be taken bold of and told what to do. C*a you do that?" "Rather," said Blake quietly. "Theo she’s yours for keeps." The next morning they all sat tn her room while Alice ate her breakfast On her third finger was Blake’s dia­ mond ring. "As for the airplane,” said Mr. Wayne briskly. "I wll! send somebody over from th* airdrome to get It down —it’s a mess of Junk." "Why, daddy, I am sure It could be mended." broke In Alice. "and Charte* •nd I hare thought of honeymooning in It haven’t we!" She turned to Blake, who hesitated for an Instent then spoke firmly: -To tell the truth, we h aren’t men­ tioned the plane,-Mr. Wayne, and for my part Hl say that my wife wffl never ride In one again.

FARMERS WANT SPUDS CERTIFIED FOR SEED. MicUgan Potatoes Sold to Staten Dsmandtog Best Quality TM—arn Free Tubers. East Lansing, June 20.—Moro than 300 Michigan farmers have asked for the inspection od their po­ tato fields this year by inspector* furnished through the °ooperation of the Michigan Crop Improvement Association and Michigan. State Col­ lege, according to the statement of the secretary of the association. These farmers are the growers of Michigan certified seed potatoes, which are noted in many state for their quality and freedom from dis­ ease. Tlie reputation of this seed stock has been built up by several years of careful work, and Michigan farmers who use the care necessary to produce potatoes that will pass Inspection tests find a ready market for the tubers. Since the inspection and certifica­ tion service was started in 1920, the Michigan seed potato crop has im­ proved both in quality and in yield. The first crop Inspected averaged only 138.5 bushels per acre while last year’s crop produced at the rate of 256 bushels per acre. A tolerance of ten per cent ot plants affected with mooiac, leaf roll, and block leg was permitted in fields eligible for certification In 1920, and although diseased pints were pulled by hand from many of the inspected fields that year, 28.6 per cent of the fields were refused certification. If more than two per cent of diseased plants were present in 1926, such, fields were refused certification, but only 11j2 per cent of the fields were Applications on File. disqualified br disease.

Thousand Island dressing is a may­ onnaise dressing in which chopped highly flavored materials are added. There is no rule about what these ingredients should be. Some of those used—and there may be a half dozen—are hard cheese, hardcooked eggs, pickles, olives, radish­ es, celery, green peppers, pimentoes, capers and onion. It is easy to make use ot small amounts of such materials as you have a hand, rath­ er than to purchase special things to make this dressing. The easiest way to make a brown gravy to serve with a roast is to stir the flour into the fat drippings, and brown by heating carefully over a hot flame. Use about as much flour as you have fat. You will get a brown color if the meat drippings are almost entirely fat—that is, If no water has been added in roast­ ing the meat. After the mixture be­ comes brown, water or milk is add­ ed to complete the gravy. Anoth­ er way to make a rich brown gravy is to brown the flour before it is added to the gravy, in a smooth, polished 'skillet. Some housekeep­ ers keep flour browned in this way on hand for gravies. Flour loses its thickening power when browned, so some additional white flour must be used in making a trick gravy. Grapefruit can be served in a number of ways. As a breakfast fruit it is cut in halves crosswise, and each section is cut around with a sharp knife. The seeds and tough center are removed. Granu­ lated or powdered sugar is passed.

Nowadays we park our car with rear end pointing up hill so it can't back up; we leave it in gear, set the brakes, put blocks in front of the wheels, and then we eit down on the run­ ning board for about ten minutes to make absolutely sure that It isn’t going to budge*. We went home to dinner Thurs­ day. drove up in(o our yard, which slightly inclines in every direction of the compass but one, and that didn't help any in our case.. We jumped out of our car without set­ ting the brakes, rushed into the house with a package, and on look­ ing out of the door were a bit sur­ prised to see our fool car running backwards in the general direction of Quaker brook flatr. Had we known as much as we do now. we might just as well have gone right back into the house and ate our dinner and saved about 93 lbs. of good breath. The car knew all the time where it was going and our running after it didn't change its mind one iota. The faster we ran after the car, the faster the ' car went—it must have seen us coming. A car minus a driver usually hasn't any sense—it is like some drivers, it never looks where it is going. But our car was different—there was an old useless wagon sitting out back of the barn, and tie Knight headed directly for it, with the result that it ran kerBIFF into the wagon and stopped of its own accord. Luckily it didn’t damage the wagon a bit. If anything, the wagon has more paint on the running gear today than it has had since leaving teh factory some forty odd years ago. And speaking of what it did to the car. It did a plenty—yet it didn't exceed our expectations when we’ saw it running away. One eye was, put out of commission, o»ie rear wing badly fractured, several parts thrown out of joint and few minor and major body bruises. Dochtere Ol­ in &. Olsen, two highly noted pro­ fessional D.

HIGHEST PRICE FOR EGGS GALEY’S �lhe Ghost of a Letter 00184708 By H. IRVING KING (Cvpyrlchl.) HERE twviuvd to be every reason la the world, k>oklt^ at the mat­ ter to a . calm, common sense way, why Adele Norwood should say ’••yea” to John Wickford’s proposal of mar­ riage. Lie was u youug lawyer rapid­ ly inuking his way at the bar, auu his father had left him a very eonsiderable fortune. Personally he was a good-looking young ’ muni morally he was all that could be wished fur, und bls social standing was high. What more could a- girl want? That Is what Adele's parents asked her. She might have answered with the single word—Love. The reason she didn’t was because she really did not know what love was. She thought she did, of course. When site liked a person uncommonly well she always said she "loved" him. She still hud a lot to learn. She hud met Wickford at a summer resort and hud found him very agree­ able. Her parents hud “looked him up" and approved of him. Wickford, on his part, had found Adele entirely charming and all that could be desired In the wife of a ris­ ing young barrister. He hud "looked up" Mr. Norwood us carefully us he himself hud been looked up und found everything highly satisfactory. Then he proposed to Adele. - There is u saying that "Matches are made in Heaven." But here was a mutch so flawless in construction, so beautifully machine-made, that It ap­ peared as if made in a mutch factory —a finished product. No wonder Adele's parents asked “W|iy not?" and Adele repeated t|ie same query to her­ self. She did have a feeling that there was a little something wanting somewhere; but coaid not, for the life of her, discover Just what it was. So when John proposed Mie. told him that, while she admired him immensely and would feel safe in committing her fu­ ture to him. yet—yet she wanted a lit­ tle time to think it over. He was go­ ing to his hume in Chicago next day, she to her home .In New York; and she would write him. After a heart-to-heart talk with her parents. In which everybody agreed with everybody else, Adele sat down and wrote a icier to John Wickfurd accepting ids offer of murriage. She went for n walk and dropped the letter in the first bandy letter box. That very night she met Jack Fors­ ter at a dinner party.. The next day slie met him again—quite by accident —us she went out for her dally •'con­ stitutional.’* She seemed to run across him everywhere after that. She found .herself thinking about him when she ought to have been thinking of some­ thing, or somebody else. She was worried; It was nut right for her to think so much about JaA Forster -when she had accepted John Wick­ ford. But why did not John acknowl­ edge the receipt of her letter? The days had gone by; he had had plenty of time. Had he repented Ids bargain as, Adele told herself with a groan, she was beginning to- do? Then finally canfe a letter from Wickford. It was very proper, very precise and almost—but not quite— loverlike. He reproached her mildly for not having written him as she had promised, giving her decision with re­ gard to his proposal, und hoping tbut the delay did not mean an unfavor­ able answer. Adele was perplexed, und, she confessed to herself, relieved. Then the thought struck her that her letter must be wandering around somewhere, “misseut," In the mails and would reach John eventually. She realised thoroughly now that she did not want to marry John Wickford—and she would not if she could ^et out of it. If it wus not for that letter of acceptance roaming about and liable to reach John's bands at any time, all she would have to do would be te sit down and write Mr. Wickford a nice letter declining his “kind and flattering offer." Her par­ ents? Oh, Adele felt sure she could manage them: like most modern par­ ents, they were amenable to discipline. Besides her father had gone to Cen­ tral America on a business trip and her mother was in Boston in attend once on Aunt Jerusha, who was HL But there was the fact of the exist­ ence of that first letter of hers. Sup­ pose she wrote Wickford a letter say­ ing that, on such and such a date, she had written him a letter accepting him and now wished to call that first letter off and "give him the mitten I" For three days she put in a consld erable portion of her time writing iet tert to Wickford, reading them and teaming them up. That undelivered letter of acceptance liecame an ob session with her; it haunted he? thoughts by day and she dreamed of it by nlghL It was a grisley specter, lurking in ambush und liable to spring out upon her. at any moment. And every day she felt her love for Jack Forster growing and his for her. Then one day there wus placed In her band an official envelope, “gov­ ernment business’*. She oi»ened It won deriagiy and out dropped her lettei of acceptance, returned from the dead letter office at Washington—because Adele had forgotten to put feny ad dress on the envelope before she mailed it!

The Promotion for Alice ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■•■a By CORONA REMINGTON (Copyrurht.* LICE MILLER looked like on alf as she sat on the old fallen log across the stream and dabbled her toes in the water, her lithe young body swaying slightly with the ryth­ mic movement of her feet, her red lips puckered as she whistled a little tune to herself. She put out a brown hand and tried to catch the dappled shadows that danced across the log, her dress, her arms, the water. And quite happy she was as she sat there thinking her own pleasant thoughts. Out In this free world she could scarcely realize that she was Alice Miller who worked at Uptons In Carrway fifty weeks out of the year with only four walls of an office to look at from month's end to month’s end. The sound of a man's laughter near­ by made her look quickly toward the bank of the stream and as quickly drop into the water and start for the opposite side. “Oh. don’t run away,’’ begged Dr. Austin Taylor, his voice « full of disappointment "I’m not sure you’re real You looked so like a wood nymph sitting there playing with shad­ ows. Come back, do, and I'll make be­ lieve Tm a satyr and play on my pipes for you.” "I don’t entertain satyrs with my shoes and stockings off,” she laughed, “but if you want to dreadfully, you might walk along my log and come over to my side and sit down and tell me all you've been doing today.” He followed her instructions to the letter, dropped on to some moss and leaned against an old cottonwood tree. “This seems too good to be true,” ha sighed as he locked his arms around his knees. Alice glanced at his sensitive, tired face and a quick feeling of sympathy ■wept over her. "Poor Austin Taylor, yon*re all tired, aren’t you? Did you call on lots of sick people this morning?" she aaked. **A good many. Pre made over a hundred miles since five o’clock. A country doctor has his office in the whole country Instead of in the pro­ verbial hat. But I didn’t want to talk about myself.” He turned the conver■atiou swiftly. ”1 wanted to talk about you." "Oh, I’ve made up my mind Tm not going to be a stenographer another year. I’ll- get a promotion somehow. I want to do something bigger; men do such great fine things and . . . women can’t,” she ended, her eyes bright with earnestness. “What an absurd idea. Alice, you’ve done the finest thing anyone could do by reinstating my faith in woman kind. I had almost decided that they were a crowd ot fun-loving flspperu without a serious thought In their beads." “But that’s just because you don’t know theca, Austin.

I was awfully extreme and I remember once Uncle John took me homo and spanked me for reugelng my lips te the street I was a frushuum la M43 school then.” Alice laughed at tte reminiscence. “And you seem so simple sad sweet now," he mused Incredulously. “I hope I am," she answered a libtda warmly, rising to go, “and I think I’ve always been." “Of course you are. Of course you were. I know you are!” be protested frantically, pulling her down to the ground again. "Oh, Alice, don’t get offended. I love you so.

He looked so pathetically p<pl«red and so dead In earnest that the girt felt sorry for him—just a bit "No sir," she laughed teasiagly. “Trouble with you.

CHAPTER IV Enrly the next morning Doctor Mc­ Alister und I took one of the trains upon which the male population of Duk Ridge habitually goes to town upon Its several and various business. We bud by no meuns exhausted Uie possibilities of discovery which still lay concealed, we felt sure, within that lonely old house where we bad passed so strange a night; nor hud we solved Its mystery. But matters of a more Instant importance compelled us, for a while, to abandon IL in the first place, we knew that little as we liked the prospect, it was our clear duty to report to Ashton what we knew of the mysterious, wild creature who had escaped from the hospital and was now at large. By one means or another, she must be found as quickly as possible. She had already destroyed one life—of that we were practically sure—and until she was safely under restraint again, we could have no guaranty that she would not destroy others. To thwart that possibility, we must call In Ashton and the police, however little to our liking such a course might be. We deferred our breakfast until our arrival In town, memories of the din­ ner we had had the night before mak­ ing it easy to go hungry for a while. We were inter getting In than we ex­ pected'to be, for a combination of fog and freezing sleet delayed our train. Out of the car windows we could see as we crawled along, that the tele­ graph wires were already sagging un­ der their white anocr of ice. As soon as we got In, we drove straight to The Meredith. In the restaurant we found Ashton ‘ himself, Just sitting down to breakfasL He welcomed us with an eager­ ness that showed that he had already beard some report of our adventure of the night before. “I was on the point of telephoning for you," he said, “but you’ve saved the precious hour or two by coming on your own accounL Mallory re­ ported to me here at six o’clock this morning, having come all the way from Oak Ridge on fooL and Without getting the slightest trace of the mys­ terious woman who Invaded the Mor­ gan house last nlgbL I confess that her appearance throws a different light on Harvey’s testimony. And I think you’ll agree that, in all probability, she is the criminal." “I’ve no doubt myself," said Doe tor McAlister, "that It was her hands that strangled old Morgan." “Well, then, she’s the criminal. Isn’t she?" said Ashton; and regarding the answer to this question as too obvious to be waited for, he went straight on. "The whole energies of the police and of Hll the detective force connected with our office will be 'bent toward finding her. What I want from you— from both of you.

"You have a talent that way." "What do you mean?" "You’ve seen her. You've enjoyed a good look at her. She's the girl that Reinhardt sent for us to see at St Michael’s two nights ago." Ashton stared In clear amazement flrst at the doctor and then at me. “You're sure?" he gasped. “Perfectly," said I gravely. For a moment he sat silenL Then he frowned. “May I ask whether you had any suspicion, when we saw her there at the hospital, that she might prove to have some connectton with this case?" “Yes," said my chief bluntly; “It's your right to ask.

"We have,’’ said the doctor, “and It was with the purpose of telling you about it that we came back to town this morning—that was part of our purpose, at any rate. Do you remem­ ber the green cloak which you so con­ fidently declared to be nothing but a bit of fiction, born ’of Will Harvey’s puerile vanity? Well, we’ve found that A green cloak, with a high eo> lar, Just as Harvey described It." Ashton eagerly demanded the de­ tails-as to where and how the cioak was found, and these I supplied him with. Then there was'a little silence. His displeasure over our previous reticence was suddenly swallowed up In his in­ terest In the revelations we made-to him. “That’s one to.

He probably thought to eave himself by giving us the clew that would lead to her detection. In his eagerness, he overreached himself And told too much, told more than he could possibly have seen, if his testimony as to how he saw It were true.” He broke off there with a short laugit "But confess,” he said, turn­ ing to my chief, "confess that this discovery of- Phelps puts your theory of associative illusion completely out of court.

I don’t believe that you can get away from the logic of thaL" “Your conclusion Is probable," said my chief, “but it’s not Inevitable." Ashton dismissed the denial with a mere tolerant shrug, and set it down to the obstinacy of old age. “You brought the cloak to town with you, I suppose," he went on presently. I nodded. “You’ll want It, I pre­ sume?" "Yes, he said. “It may prove a val­ uable bit ot bait, not for the girl her­ self, of course, but possibly for one of her accomplices. I’ll have Harvey arrested at once. Surveillance isn’t good enough for him now; I want him in Jail." ’‘You promised me a chance at Har­ vey after you got through with him. Do you remember?" said the doctor. “1 hope you don’t mean to withdraw IL" Ashton stared at him. "You still think you can beat up anything In that covert?" he asked Incredulously. "Oh, well. I’ve no objection to your trying. I’ll have him arrested at once and brought to town. Where do you want him? At your laboratory?" “Yes," said the doctor. “When may we expect him? This afternoon, some time?” “Yes," said Ashton. "Not later than four o’clock.” • The doctor swallowed the last of bls coffee, pushed back his chair, and rose to his great ungainly helghL “Now, let’s have an understanding." said he. "I've given you, freely, all the Information you’ve asked for. It comprises pretty much all the Lufccma^ tlon you have which can be of any.service to you in the solution of the mystery of this crime. That, of course, is partly due to luck. I believe that I can solve that mystery by my meth­ ods. I believe tliat with your methods, you will fall. Phelps and I are going to set atxrot trying to find that girl for ourselves, in our own way. If we find her, we will examine her in our own way; and we sha'n’t tell you anything about It until our Invest!g& tlon Is complete." Ashton smiled. “Of course you know," said he, “that you are propos­ ing sometalng thaL under my oath of office, I can't permlL If you find that girl—I don’t think It very likely that you will, but if you do, I shall be obliged to take her away from yon aad put her In safe keeping.

But if you don’t find her—” "That’s thin Ice, Doctor McAlister,** Ashton Interrupted earnestly. “If you proceed with that express determina­ tion of yours, I may find it necessary, little as rd like to, to have you watched, as persons suspected of com­ pounding a felony." “All right," said the doctor.

Precautionary measures taken by Michigan farmers now will save ser­ ious losses from the inroads of a threatened invasion by the army worm, according to a statement giv­ en out by the entomology depart­ ment at Michigan State College. Far me re can find whether or not the army worm is present on their farms by examining Che oats in low spots in their oat fields. The army worm is a cut worm aud prefers to have its food wilted before eating it. The worm cuts the leaves from the oat plants during the night and hides under clods or rubbish in the day time. If the oats show army worms are present, the area where the damage is being done should be plowed im­ mediately to keep the worms from maturing and spreading to a larger Although the loss of the leaves from the oats may not appear ser­ ious at first. It should be remember­ ed that later the worm will eat the entire top of the oat plant. Unless the worms are brought under control the entire field of oats may be lost, according to the college specialists. A state of preparedness now will atop the worm before its myriads are ready to start on their devastating march through Michigan crops. When the march is once begun, con­ trol measures are difficult end ex­ pensive and crops in fields Invaded by the army worm on the march disappear as if by magic.

IMPROVED ROADS CHEAPEST Although we spend millions an­ nually for Improving roads, only about one farm In twelve Is located on a hardsurfaced or paved highway. A much larger proportion are near enough to paved thoroughfares to make considerable use of them, but even one Intervening mile of muddy road often makes the use of farm automobiles impossible. Good roads used to be classed m luxuries but such Is no longer the case. When the loss of time Incur­ red by rough or muddy unimproved roads is considered, together with the wear and tear on vehicles, paved or hardsurfaced roads are essential and should ba built as rapidly as possible. Tbe department of (Ag­ riculture says: "For the movement of every ve­ hicle over a road there is a certain cost, which is less if the road be im­ proved. Logically, therefore, the only limit that should bo placed on expenditures for road Improvement is the amount that can be saved in vehlclar operating cost The coun­ try loses more in increased cost of operating vehicles by not improving roads than it does to Improve them. In other words, it pays for improving roads whether it has them or not, and it pays lea by having them than by not having them." A thin waterproof wearing surface Is being placed on existing gravel and macadam roads tn farming communl ties with great success and at moderate coot.

In proportion to population. Mich­ igan has five times as many tele­ phones as Great Britain. Fifteen of the original eighty telephone subscribers in the city of Seattle are still living. The Wall Street Journal declares that more than 80,000 people In Illi­ nois own telephone securities. On the night of tbe Municipal election in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune received 40,000 telephone calle Inquiring as to the result of the election. Fifteen years ago there were 46,­ 602 telephones in the state of Lou­ isiana. Now there are 68,000 in the city of New Orleans alone and 185,­ 000 in the entire state. At tbe end of the first quarter of 1927, there was invested in tele­ phone pianvs in the United States, $3,370,000,000 and the gross oper­ ating revenues reached $966,000,­ 000.

Misleading straight and narrow path Isn’t really CHAPTER V I fully expected, that after the grUIIng he had reedved at the hands of the district attorney, Haivey would prove a recalcitrant and reluctant sub­ ject, for tbe tests we wished to try upon him. He was nervous, it Is true, and it took a good deal of reassuring of the most tactful sort, on Doctor McAlister’s part, to get him quieted down Into anything like a normal state of mind; but be was perfectly willing. His first sight of the queer, mysteri­ ous-looking instruments which our big room contained did nothing to coun­ teract that fear. To the eye of Ignor­ ance it must look like a torture cham­ ber from the Inquisition, brought down to date. My chief spent tbe better part of an hour taking the young man around and explaining the different instru­ ments to him. and it was not long be­ fore young Harvey began to show an inclination to test himself by every electrical and mechanical piece of ap­ paratus tn the laboratory. He had for­ gotten the -Oak Ridge mystery, {orgotten Ashton, forgotten his recent ar­ rest, forgotten. even, tbe detective who was waiting in the corridor outside. He was ready at last for our real experiment. Nothing about Doctor McAlister's manner suggested that there- was any difference, from our point of view, between the amusing things we ^had been doing and the test which be now proposed. “I’m going to see how quickly you can think." he said. “You're to sit down In this chair, and Mr. Phelps here will read you a list of words. Tbe Instant be reads a word, you are to say, aloud, the word it makes you think of—say it just as quickly as you can. You've shown an unusually quick reaction time so far, but this Is a bet­ ter test than any of them. We hang up *a Pa,r telephones, so—one In front of you and one In front of Mr. The moment he speaks a Phelps word it makes a little mark on that re­ ccri It volving cylinder. The moment you speak, a second mark is made. The cylinder turns round all the while, and the distance between the two _______ marks shows how quickly or how ,iOwly you think.” i ran my eye down the ji8t which my chief had prepared, with a good deal of care, while we were waiting for them to bring Harvey to the labora­ tory. The first twelve words were what we call central, that is, they had no connection, so far as we know, with the crime, the mystery or the inquest. In telling us bls association with them which he would probably do freely enough, our subject would establish his normal speed In this sort, of men tai operation But the thirteenth word was Loops and the fourteenth was Pipe. Tbe as­ sociations be should announce with those two words and the time be should take in pronouncing them would go tar toward establishing a conviction In the doctor's mind and In mine as to whether Harvey had guilty knowledge of tbe means which had been employed for tbe old man’s mur der. If he had such guilty knowledge. If be had seen that ghastly tourniquet made, and twisted It taut himself, or had witnessed the operation, those two simple little words would almost in falllbly recall It The words that would flash into his mind might be violin, perhaps. or throat, or even possibly, the plain black word murder. If some such word as that, some damaging, suggestive word, should flash into his mind, on* of two things would happen. He would either say it aloud, or be would stop himself from saying It. and deliberately think up an­ other word which, to our ears, could have no sinister significance. But that latter course of action would betray him as certainly as tbe other, for thought takes time, and tbe fact that bo had been obliged to stop to think would be remorselessly and exactly shown In the chronograph. With a feeling of excitement which I found it hard to conceal, I began reading those first twelve neutral words. His answers came with flash­ like rapidity. He was a good subject and he had entered fully Into the spir­ it of the test To my ear the interval between my word and his was about half a second. When I Raw the record afterward. I found that It averaged a little leas than I hat—about fourtenths. The word Pen brought the obvious association, ink. 8now called up Shovel; and Song. Theater. The twelfth word, Sign, called up the curi­ ous association, Woodland, which was to prove of Interest and significance to us before the day was out. But I had no time to think about It then. Without varying the Interval, with­ out varying the tone of my voice, or raising my eyes from the list I held In njy hand. I pronounced the thlr- The answer came like a flash, and It was Automobile I glanced up as he said It, and cauriit a faint smile of reminiscence on hls lips Loops In hh mind were things to be looped, and the circus billboards supplied the as sociatlon with automobile. The next word Pipe, brought the simple asso­ ciation. Tobacco. To my mind his un­ hesitating utterance of that word was as good a demonstration of his Inno­ cence of the crime Itself as a com­ pletely established alibi would have been. But we were only at the beginning of our experiment. Neither the doc­ tor nor I believed him guilty. We both believed that, hidden in some corner of that mind of his, was a piece of unsuspected knowledge which would give us tbe key with which to unlock the heart of the mystery. Three or four numbers down the list came another word. Map, which might have drawn a significant reply. The Instantaneous association which tt brought up. however, was Europe. After that came a succession of ffOCllfc IlTEfcht ips enjorles of articjfis to be found In various rooms In the Morgan house, but they all drew blank. Never once was there a moment's hesi­ tation. So far our test proved, clearly and exhaustively, that, in bis testimony at the inquest our young man had meant to tell the truth. I was-re­ minded of the doctor's words on tbe night of our return from the hospital, when he had warned me against fall­ ing Into tbe error of thinking that the unlikely could not happen. His old theory of associative Illusion, which had been made to look so fan­ tastically Improbable by our discovery of the cloak, was practically proven true In the very teeth of Its improba­ bility by this test of ours. But who was the girl Harvey knew —the black-haired girl who wore a ■green cloak, with the collar cut high In tbe back? We were as far as ever from the answer to that question. And so far as I could see none of bis associates with the successive words In my list brought out anything of slgriificance. Apparently we were drawing blank cover. At the same time, I wns awnre that something or other had made my chief extremity thoughtful. The way he wae opening and shutting his hands and staring out of the window, the perplexed frown which knitted his brows, made It clear that there wns only one link lacking In some chain of association of his own At last as I glanced at him in the half second Interval between my word and Harvey's, I saw that be bad got It; saw the sudden flare of excitement kindle in his eyes and his two clenched hands come down softly on the arms of his chair. The next moment the word Dance In my list brought the unexpected as­ sociation Policeman from Harvey. At that the doctor rose and Inter­ rupted the test “I think, Phelps,’’ he said, "that those negatives of yours must be done. I’ll go on and read thia other list to Mr. Harvey." The errand he had proposed to me was purely fictitious and the sheet of paper’he held In his hand was blank; so I interpreted his Interruption as in­ tended for the mere purpose of giving him a chance to catechise Harvey along some new line without causing him to suspect the reason for the change. To give color to the excuse, I loft the room for a few moments, but It will be easy to believe that I returned as soon as I plausibly could. I found Doctor McAlister pronouncing a suc­ cession of words rather more rapidly than I bad read them from my list, and the young man’s answer had quickened, too. so that to the our they were almost Instantaneous. The words were a Hat of the features of the 1 heard, and Its association. Instantly, Coral; probably a reference to ear­ rings. I thought Eyes produced the adjective Black. Lips, ludicrously enough, brought the Involuntary ad­ mission. Kias. And at that our .sub­ ject went flaming red. His perturba­ tion was made perfectly evident the next moment, when he waited four seconds after the word Hand, only to produce the rhymed association. Band Nothing could have been clearer than that, being on bls guard against mat lug another Involuntary admission, he had rejected whatever word had come first, and consciously and laboriously thought up another. The next word Face, brought, as a rather quicker response, the adjective Nice. It did not occur to me at the time that this was a rhymed associa­ tion also; that somebody be knew pronounced It "flee." But that the doctor's mind had Jumped to tills con­ clusion was made clear when, for his word English. tised as found, bad promptly tone and �• THTIWDAY, JTXK 30, 1MT Mrs. Madeline Gatewood of Chi-' cage was the gu«*t of Mrs. Aids Special meeting of the Village!

They started at breakneck speed, but as they went on. getting fruit for conversation out of tbe objects they passed on the road, Daisy .found her self slowing down. Of course, there wasn't tbe slightest chance that she would catch a bus, because the last bns had gone nearly an hour ago and it was within five minutes’ time of the next when she kidnaped the good looking stranger at tbe corner. It had been a rather bold thing to do, Daisy admitted—and pot the sort of thing that her sisters would have consld ered even decent As a general thing. Daisy agreed with them—it wasn’t safe to pick up strange young men and take them driving along the conn try highway to Barnbury—but the yonng man sitting beside her in her car was decidedly prepossessing, and If he by any chance was a desperate or dangerous character Daisy felt that .In an open car with the wheel in her own hands she had every advantage Barnbury was In sight—and the buthad not been overtaken. R was a little settlement of some eight or nine houses, two gas-filling stations, a little store and the remains of an old wood­ en church. The young man had Indi­ cated that he had business In Barn bury. Obviously there was not much business to be done there. “Here we are,” Daisy told him. It was a desperately bold thing to do, but she told him that If his business wasn’t going to take very long She would wait and carry him back to Hinton, assuming of course that he wanted to go to Hinton. But tbe young man did not even get out of the car. He looked at her contritely and explained that as s matter of fact be bad no business whatever in Barn bury. To bls surprise, the girl st the wheel showed no sign of resentment. They drove back toward Hinton In a alienee that bscame mutually embarrasstng. “I take it for granted that you want to go back to Hinton," Mid Daisy, with an arch little smile. “Perhaps you have friends there?” "Not unless I might count you as a friend," said Schuyler. "The fact is I had never beard of either Hinton or Barnbury in my life until thia morn­ ing.

However, his honor seems to be ad­ dicted to the use of the weed in a very mild and. Ipt usvay, very unique form. Not long ago one of our fel­ low citizens was having a friendly chat with Dr. Perry and casually asked.: ''Don't you ever smoke. Doc?” I (Undoubtedly trying to get a cigar •off tbedoctor).

After tbe Scot had made several of these trip, with no apparent indication of sitting down in a seat, our citixen in question became annoyed. A few minutes later when the conductor came for bls ticket he asked the reason for the fellow’s strange behavior and what the trouble was. The conduc­ tor smiled and replied: "The fel­ low is all right and one of our regu­ lar passenger?—he's just getting a free smoke, that’s all." Never mind Doc, we've seen Bert getting a free smoke many a time, and be wasn’t dreaming, either. It was usually when the other fel­ low was dreaming. Quality Instead of Quantity, Sam. Sam Varney ought to take a few private lessons in the piscatorial art of Phil Dahl ho user. Sam landed a whale of a fish the Fourth and yet he had a ''no-fish*' dinner. Sam’s fish when he got him out of the water looked like a cross between a fish crane and a leather-back turtle—it was one of the biggest, ugilest and oldest gars yanked out of the waters in these parts In several moons. Sam chopped the beak off the fish and is using it for a rip-saw to saw out the openings at the new temple. Claims the nails and wire are so numerous he can't keep his good saws sharp.

We have been going through a period of price re-adjustments—always a critical time tor business—but, in this instance, there were not the usual accom­ panying shocks to business peculiar to such periods. The major reason for this absence of disturbances in business is that smaller inventories are being carried nowadays since the rail­ road service of the country assures certain and speedy delivery. Traders carry smaller stocks, and business, therefore, is carried on with leu capital and with fewer hazards. Alore stabilized business conditions are assured American business, and with these, consequently, failures become less likely and less frequent. What the workings of the Federal Reserve Act proves to be to busineu, through the stabilizing of credits, die improved steam railroad transportation service is accomplishing through its regular and its prompt deliveries. So the large outlays to better the service have justified themselves. Both expedients work to the same end in their respective spheres. They avert the shocks. In Michigan, this is particularly true. Vast sums, in recent ▼ears, have been expended to achieve this new standard of service. Seven of the nine railroads serving Michigan alone are expending this year nearly $26,000,000 in new engines andean and in improve­ ments and betterments which will continue these stabilizing forces. time when the lull in industry, through which we have jutt patted, was at its low ebb. Therefore, these $26,000,000, going largely to labor, raw materials and manufactured commodities, served appreci­ ably to buoy up conditions. Michigan railroad* have, therefore, been more than local COmmon-carriera. They have, through their service, removed some of the hazards inherent in business in former yean.

He had a little chat with Wilkins, tak­ ing the advice of that gastronomic expert as seriously aa If a good dinner were the only subject that be felt the slightest Interest in Just then. Tbe waiter got our order at Iasi and went away with It to the kitchen, and Wilkins himself; with a grave In­ clination of the bead, started to move away, but the doctor called him back. “I wonder, Wilkins," be said, “whether you can find out for me If there 1a * chambermaid named Jane Perkins employed in the hotel." The man shot a quick look of sur­ prise Into tbe doctor’s face, a look quite at variance with bls ordinary stiff Immobility. “Yes. sir. there is finch a young woman working here." be said, “It happens that I am acquainted with her personally.” “Ah,” said tbe doctor in a tone of satisfaction, "that simplifies matters. I might have known that you would be able to help me. Wilkins, It hap­ pens that I very much wish to have a little conversation with that young woman." ’ 'Wli£Tns Inclined his head gravely, without a word. "You’ll arrange It for me. won’t you?" said tlie doctor. “I’d like to have her sent to my room immediately after dinner.” There was a momentary silence after that Both of us looked up in some surprise that the man did not answer. Bls face was unusually grave. “I beg your pardon, sir," be said with a little hesitation: “I hope you’ll forgive the liberty, but I have, as 1 was saying, something of a personal interest In that young woman. 1 hope she’s not In any difficulty, sir. I hope that she has nut been doing any­ thing that she shouldn't have done.” “I’m Inclined to think not," said the doctor, “but unless 1 am mistaken, she's' In a difficulty.” Wilkins said nothing, but his si­ lence was expectant. He was too well trained to ask any questions, bgK It was very evident that he wanted to know more. ' “I think I may venture to be frank with you. Wilkins,” the doctor re­ sumed. "Of course what 1 say is be­ tween ourselves, and I want your promise to say nothing of. It to the young woman In question." “Yes. sir: certainly, sir." "In the Investigation of the Oak Ridge murder tjie other night a cer­ tain green cloak was found, which Id the state attorney's office, is believed to have been worn by an unknown woman who committed that crime. That cloak was advertised as found. In the afternoon pai>ers. and was al most Immediately claimed and identi­ fied beyond a deuht by this Jane Per­ kins, who gave The Meredith as her address—' "She didn’t dn it. sir." Wilkins inter­ rupted quickly. "I’m sure she can’t be guilty of the crime of murder. She’s a very quiet girl, sir—a good girl." “I have made a little Investigation of that mystery on tay own account," said the doctor, “and I’m Inclined to think you’re right. I should, however, be glad to have some better founded reason for that opinion. There are certain circumstances which point at her directly enough to bring her under serious suspicion and to make her a good deal of trouble. If Mr. Phelps and I can convince ourselves. In ad rance, of her innocence, we will gladly do all that is wit bln our power, both in representations we will make to Mr. Ashton and otherwise, to shield her." "That’s very good of you, air," said Wilkins. "Hl see that she’s sent up to your room tbe moment you have finished dinner." There was another little silence; still Wilkins kept bls place beside our table. Presently, after's little apolo­ getic cough, be spoke again. “It strikes me. sir. that it might, perhaps, be as well if the young wom­ an were not to know that she was to be questioned. If she Is Innocent It would only fluster her, and if she is guilty. It would give her time to pre­ pare herself. If you wish.

Follow along later, on some errand or other, and we’ll call you In. Perhaps we’ll make a little demonstration on you in advance, just to give her confi­ dence." A look of decorous amusement ap peared-on Wilkins' face. “That will be very Interesting, I’m sure, sir." he said. As he bowed him­ self away I could see that he was still smiling. "It's curious.” I observed to the doc­ tor. “We've seen thyt gum gully since we Fame here to The Meredith to live, but I got an absolutely new Impression of him tills evening. It never occurred to me before that when he laid aside bis professional manner he might be a thoroughly hu­ man, kindly old chap, with as many affections and concerns as any of us. and with, perhaps, about the same opinion of our reality as we have al­ ways bad of his." “We’d better get on," said the doc­ tor, suiting the action to the word. “We haven’t any time to waste.” As we walked over toward the ele­ vator Wilkins preceded us and rang the hell for us. just as he always did. I bad It my tongue's end to make some reference to our engagement with him for a little later In the eve­ ning. not that It was necessary, but simply because it was more natural to say, “In half an hour, then," or something of that sort, than merely to nod and answer his good night I think he must have perceived that In­ tention. certainly be checked it by looking, just then, a little more wood­ en and professional than ever. I un­ derstood when I glanced over his shoulder and suw that Ashton had just come In. He was not looking our way. Whether he had made a point of not looking, I do not know; but I was glad that I had nnt blurted out. In his bearing, any reference to the un­ usual and highly unprofessional sort of engagement that the doctor and 1 had with Wilkins. “A rather remarkable man," said 1, as we stepped into the elevator. Tbe doctor nodded. A few minutes later. In the doctor’s spacious sitting room where we had set up our Instruments and now sat waiting for the arrival of the subject we meant to test by them, we heard a rap at the door. "No timidity about that," observed the doctor in a whisper; “a^d no ef­ frontery, either. A plain, common­ sense. professional knock. Let her in. will you. Phelps?” It was with a mounting excitement that I crossed the room and laid my band on the knob, for there, on the other side of this door, was one of the elements of our mystery. What would she prove to be? Another In­ nocent person, tangled by pure chance 'in the spider’s web of circumstance which surrounded our mystery; or would she turn out to be, herself, one of the spinners of the web? When I opened the door 1 got, in­ stantaneously, a very good view of the girl, for the sitting-room was brightly lighted and the little en­ trance hallway where she stood com­ paratively dark. And that first look of mine brought a dlsappolntmenL there was no doubt of thaL I had not known exactly what I had expect­ ed Jane Perkins to be like, but some­ thing different from this, certainly. The whole look of her aa she stood there, an appearance so pervasive that It baffled analysis, was of stolid stu­ pidity. Her eyes were dull, her cheeks a very dark red, so that as I looked at her first I suspected a perfectly reekleas use of cosmetic. Of course the ’ standard I compared her by was the wild girl in the hospital, for. upon the doctor’s theory of Harvey's testimony, that wild girl's profile had reminded him forcibly of this English house­ maid. There was a crude sort of re­ semblance between the two faces— the heavy brows and lashea, the black hair and general contour of the fea tures. Indeed, the thing that occurred to me as I stood there was the ridicu­ lous futility of written descriptions bf faces, when tbe same description would Include two people vrtiose gen­ eral air and appearance were so dia­ metrically different I found it impossible to describe tbe wildness and curious unearthly dis­ tinct iuu of that other face; T found met mine for jtjst an Instant wHh a it as difficult to analyze the tameness, i Hmdiing look ’ that admonished me at the commonplace banality of this one. ■ the necessity for self-control.

Achievement is largely a matter of faith in oneself. It is only those (people who thoroughly believe in themselves and in tyeir mission who bring out anything like the maxi­ mum of their ability. Distrusting our judgment, not depending upon It, not feeling able to decide any­ thing without others' help, contin­ ually seeking outside opinion and Influence, is fatal to all originality, to all leadership. If. you think you are a somebody, •Chis will go a long way toward mak­ ing you one, not only in your own estimation, but In the estimation of others. You will think, talk and act like a winner. Your every move­ ment will indicate that you are climbing to something higher. The ambition to rise is a divine urge. The.impulse to go higher, to do the bigger thing, is a silent call to ful­ fill our part in the sublime plan of the universe. It is a calling of our cue to go on life’s great stage and act our part. Let us not be cow­ ards. Let us play the part our Maker intended us to We will hold to the conviction that we can. That conviction generates the pow­ er that can. and it will uncover ex­ plosives within that will rend the obstacles which bar our advance­ ments." We just received a fine letter from Harriet Brown Prouty, from 682 Herman Street, Burlington, Wiscon­ sin. She tells us the "Grad Col­ umn” is the first thing she looks for when the News comes. She read with interest all the commencement nows of 1927, and when she read, among the graduates, the namee of Elisabeth Smith and Van Gribbin, it made her begin to fee! a little old. Harriet was a graduate of 1901; lat­ er she became a trained nurse and ■went to South Dakota to follow her profession. While there she met Mr. Prouty. ^hey were married in September, 1906, at Nashville. They mide their home in Gary, S. D., for three years, where Mr. Prouty was in the hardware busi­ ness, Excepting about six months spent in Nashville, they have lived in Burlington. Wisconsin. This, is in a very progressive district, only thirty-five miles from Milwaukee, and seventy-two miles from Chicago. They were engaged in the drug busi­ ness until about a year ago. but ow­ ing to 111 health he was compelled to seek work out of doors. Mrs. Prouty tells us he is coming fine now. They have one eon. Robert, who will be twelve yeers old in August. He is a real boy. enjoys playing ball, swimming, hiking and fishing. Rob­ ert will be In the seventh grade. He plays the piano and xylophone in both the grade and high school or­ chestras; also sings in the boys’ choir in the Congregational church, ■which they attend. They would be delighted to have any of their old friends and especial­ ly the dear old grads come in and make them a visit.

FORD ROADSTER "UPROOTS" LARGE TELEPHONE POLE. How easily we might have been called upon to chronicle a very ser­ ious ’accident. It is purely luck that the four occupants of the Ford roadster which collided with t tele­ phone pole on the South side Satur­ day about mid-night, escaped seri­ ous injurj' or even death. The oc­ cupants of the car were a young man by the name of Jones and his lady friend from Battle Creek. Wayne Mayo and Neva Mayo of this place. The ct*r is owned by young Mayo, but at the time of the accident was driven by J-mee. The Mayo family live just south of Frank Hecker's residence and it seems the party ’were on their way down town. The telephone pole was only a few rods from the drive­ way and was standing right near the curbing. The pole was a rather large one, but wa^fi quite rotten at the base. When the car came in contact with it the pole snapped off and fell across the top of the road­ ster and was carried down the pave­ ment several feet before the ma­ chine could be stopped. About ten feet of thetop of the pole snappedoff when it landed. In looking over the scene we fail to understand how the occupants escaped with their lives. The result of the accident was that the young lady from Battle Creek sustained a broken collar bone, Jones and Miss Neva Mayo received several minor scratches and bruises, and young Mayo got a bad cut on his forehead and the skin on one of his little fingers was stripped off bo that it hung by a mere thread. The car was only slightly damaged. We believe the mix-up was due to the fact that the car was over-load­ ed. Four people in a one-seated car the size of a Ford is too many.. MRS IjOUISA SPIRE DEAD Nashville and Kalamo friends of Mrs. Louisa Spire of Battle Creek were saddened to learn of her death Friday afternoon, from apoplexy. Mrs. Spire was about seventy years of age. Her maiden name was Miss Louisa Cheeseman. A greater por­ tion of her married life was lived south of town on the county line. For several years after leaving the farm Mr. and Mrs. Spire were resi­ dents of Nashville, but after her hus­ band, Lyman Spire, died several years ago, she went to Battle Creek to make her horn0.

The building will be locat­ ed to the north of the present .build­ ing and it will be the latest design and construction in school architec­ ture. The new addition will relieve the present overcrowded and un­ healthy condition now existing at the school, meeting all the require­ ments both tor the present and for the future growth. Without doubt a new up-to-date building will at­ tract many more foreign students!! thereby materially assisting the financial operations ot the school. A large auditorium will be provid­ ed. entered direct from the street; also from the school. The auditor­ ium will be provided with a stage, moving picture booth, etc., for free amusement and gatherings in the evenings. It will also be used dur­ ing the day for the general assem­ bly of all the students. The kindergarten, first, second and third grades will be located on the ground floor and provided with a private entrance, which will prevent them from mixing with the older students. On this floor will also be provided a domestic science depart­ ment which will be used as a kitch­ en to supply the auditorium when dinners are served. The architect has arranged on the second floor a large assembly room, library and recitation room, all con­ veniently located. The addition will be built on top of the ground, eliminating the oldfashioned dark basement, allowing the entire building to be used for educational purposed. The win­ dows will be of the latest emblock type, allowing full clear lighting and entirely eliminating1 all shadows. The interior will be so arranged that built-in bookcases and wardrobes for the children’s wraps will be built on the Interior walls between the ventilation flues. There will be new plumbing and boilers Installed so that when the addition is completed both the present building and the new addition will have an up-to-date plumbing, ventilation and heating plant. Which will operate at a con­ siderable less expense in proportion than it costs to operate the present building. The board has retained the ser­ vices of Samuel C. Allen, architect of Saginaw, Michigan, who has built THE FACTS OF THE CASE. Some comments have come to me in regard to the report of the Com­ mittee on Equalization of the Bar­ ry County Board of Supervisors. I am not going, to comment or criti­ cise anyone, or give any reason why 1 should answer. Am simply giving facts. Before starting with the county matter, will say we are equalized by the State for the purpose of paying State taxes, at $32,000,000. Last year, the Barry, county committee on equalization equalized at $22,000,­ 000. This year they equalized at $25,963,630, and every assessing dis­ trict in the county was raised. Yan­ kee Springs, the lowest, for the smallest amount at $28,130 and Hastings City, the highest, at $1,­ 973,640. and the remaining ones In between those amounts. Last year Castleton township paid 10 per cent of the State and Coun­ ty taxes. This year it pays .099 per cent of the same taxes. Last year it paid $24,507.21. This year, if same amount Is raised, it will pay $24.­ 262.13, or on State and County tax­ es of same amount as last year $245.08 less than last year. E. V. Smith. PLEASANT BIRTHDAY SURPRISE ON FORMER RESIDENT. About fifty relatives and friends of Mrs. Mary Brooks of Battle Creek, gathered at Putnam park Sunday and helped Mrs. Brouks celebrate her 84th birthday anniversary, which in reality occurred a tew days later. A bounteous basket dinner was served at noon. Mrs. Brooks will be better remembered as Mrs. Austin Brooks, and was a resident of Nashville and vicinity practically all her life, at present making her home -with Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Tungaie.

The function had been a bore to her for the sole and simple reason that Da­ vid Milibank had not been present He bad been invited and he knew that Betty was going to be there. Betty was vexed, as well as disappointed When her chauffeur stopped the car In front of the bouse she was sur­ prised to see a light shining from the library windows. Betty was a young lady of wealth, orphaned both of father and mother— a great catch whom nobody had caught Then David Millbank had come along: a mining engineer who had spent several years in South America and was reputed to have returned therefrom with a big for­ tune. Their engagement was to be announced formally the next week. She crossed the hall and thxew open the library door. There Rat Da­ vid Millbank, haggard; worn and nerv­ ous. The look he turned on Betty caused her to gasp: “What Is It? What has happened?" “This has happened." replied David. T have Jost every cent I have." "What of It7’ replied Betty. “1 rather think I have enough for us to start housekeeping on—come, cheer up." Betty wore a diamond neefclnce which she unclasped and threw on the table, saying: "That clasp has been scratching the back of my neck all the evening." There was sound of some one stir ring above stairs. “That’M Dagget," said Betty, "waiting for me as usual. "Wait till I report myself and send the good old soul to bed and we will go into conference upon the situation." Betty came back in flye or ten minutes. On the threshold of the li­ brary door she stood staring, ‘aghast The room was vacant. David had dis appeared—and so had the diamond necklace! Betty was “Indisposed’’ all the next day and denied herself to callers. The evening mall brought her a letter. She * recognised the handwriting of the address. It was David's. "An ’explantlon’—and the pawn tickets for the necklace, probably." she said bit­ terly; and without opening the en velope dropped the missive Into the open fire. David’s disappearance was a nine days’ wonder. Then he and his af fairs were forgotten. Three busy, bustling years of time slipped away and were lost in the abyss of eternity. Betty, taking a vacation from her various philan throplc activities, was walking slowly up and down the veranda of the Ho tel Tivoli, looking down from Mount Ancon upon the dty of Panama, spread out below, and the rolling Pa clfic beyond. A man stepped out of one of the French windows of the hotel and began pacing the veranda in a direction opposite to that pnr sued by Betty. Betty did not notice him at first nor he her. They had approached within a few paces of each other when Betty looked toward him and stood stock-still. This seemed to at­ tract his attention. He looked up to meet her gaze full upon him. Then, “Oh. Betty, why didn’t you answer my letter?’ he said. "The one containing the pawn tick etr asked Betty coldly. "I had other Jewelry; I did not need the necklace I hope you have prospered." ’’’Pawn ticket.’ ‘necklace,' what are you talking aboutT' cried David. But Betty scarcely beard him a* she swept past him into the hotel, her head held high—and her heart aching She went up to her room and began looking over her mall—letters and papers which had Just been brought up from the city. At the end of one letter from a gossiping friend was this: “I am sending yon a newspa per In which you will find an article which will Interest you. Ws about a butler you used to have and your diamond necklace." Feverishly Betty tore the paper out of its wrapper and found the article. A man whom she bad employed as a butler was now writing from a prison cell the memoirs of his active and burglarious life. In this install­ ment he told how he had been watch Ing. hidden behind a portiere, when Betty had returned home to find Da vid waiting for her; how David bad suddenly left the house when Betty went upstairs; and how be. the but ter, had slipped in and “collared’’ tbe necklace lying on the table. Betty dropped the paper and hastened downstairs. David waa stand Ing where she had left him. gazing mournfully out at the’sea. “Oh, David, forgive me!" she cried “Sure thing,’’ said David, "but come over here and let’s explain." Betty told her story and then David told his. That letter which she had burned without opening bad been an appeal to her to remain faithful to him while he tried to make another fortune. He had left the bouse to avoid the pain of parting. Betty’a not answering his letter of explanation had caused him three years of deep sorrow—but they had been years of great financial profit In mining ven tures in the interior of Colombia. Married?

"INSIDE INFORMATION.” There are three points to remem­ ber, in preparing a vegetable dinner: First, there must be a variety ot flavor. So far as flavor is concern­ ed, a good combination is one mlAdflavored vegetable, such as potatoes or lima beans; one vegetable of pro­ nounced flavor, like cauliflower, cab­ bage or onions; one which is either sour itself, or may be served with vinegar—spinach, or beets, for In­ stance. Second, there must be va­ riety of texture. Variety In texture is obtained by having one vegetable served with sauce; and a third aimply cooked in water, as peas, or string beans, are usually cooked. A raw vegetable, such as celery or radishes, lends still further variety. The third point to remember in con­ nection with a vegetable dinner Is to include some protein foods In the meal. As a rule, one of the vege­ tables may be served with ajrroteta food, such as cheese, milk, eggs, or chopped meat. Examples of vege­ tables combined with protein foods are green peppers or tomatoes stuff­ ed with a meat mixture, cauliflower or potatoes scalloped with cheese, spinach with hard-boiled eggs, and sweet corn pudding made with milk and eggs. ' Cottage cheese is high in food val­ ue. It contains all the constituents of milk, excepting the cream. Like milk, cottage cheese Is a"source ot protein, which is used to build and repair body tissue. There are many dishes which can be made with cot­ tage cheese. Cottage cheese served plain is especially pleasing In sum­ mer. Many people like it with rich cream, and a little salt, or with cream and sugar. Sour cream, or melted butter, Improves the flavor ot cottage cheese, and Increases the food value. Cottage cheese makes a delicious sandwich filling, especial­ ly for the picnic season of the year. For sandwiches, moisten the cheese with sweet cream, and'flavor ft with a little chopped parsley, chopped or sliced olives, sliced celery, pi mentoes horseradish, Spanish onions, pickles, or nuts. Some people Mke the flav­ or of caraway seeds tn eottag* cheese. This spread 1s equally good on white broad, rye bread, aet bresd. or brown broad. �THtTRSDAY.

I saw the doctor’s face light up at the sound of them, for It was the com­ pletion of tbe most Interesting exper­ iment he had ever tried. The girl was still submerged, completely, in her wild, primitive, under-self. She was no more Jane Perkins than as if she had occupied another body altogether, and yet, by the strange hypnotic power of suggestion, the doctor was com­ pelling her to use Jane Perkins’ knowl edge of English to talk with. “Who swore you to such, an oath?" be asked. "My mother, when she was dying. It was a vengeance. He had murdered my father. He murdered him before I was born." "If ft happened before you were born," said the doctor quickly, "then, unless you knew beforehand that Henry Morgan was the man you were sworn to murder, how did you know It when you fdund him In that houser Out of the front of her blouse she pulled a little chamois-skin bag which bung about her neck by a fine gold chain. .

For an instant the doctor gazed at her wide-eyed; then, turning away to conceal his excitement, he struck one palm,, softly, three or four times with the other fist. Presently he turned back to the girl. "Did your mother swear you to any thing else?" "No." “Did she give you anything when she died?" "No." "Not even a message? I mean did she tell you anything, anything about Flanka?” “She told me these words," said the girl, “she said them a great many times. *Ouan feef, ti oues.

The next Instant the girl had flashed out of her chair, and stood confronting me. The quickness of her motion was absolutely Inde­ scribable. Her face was now the one we had seen In the hospital and had glimpsed dimly In the dark In Henry Morgan’s study. At the sight of me she shrank, crouched, rather, for something about the action suggested that It might b« followed by a spring.

I very much hoped that both these invitations would be declined, for with that girl in the next room and Wilkins’ knock mo­ mentarily expected at the door, it was rather too close quarters to be com­ fortable. But,my chief seemed to be perfectly at es*je. “I’ll confess." he began, lighting a cigar of his own; "that I*m a little curi­ ous to know what caused your change of heart; what It was that convinced you that Phelps and I aren’t engaged In a conspiracy to thwart justice." "I am afraid 1 am a self-convicted egoist," said Ashton. “It took an hour or more for the thought to occur to me that there are other people, besides myself, living tn The Meredith, and that Jane Perkins might have given that place as her address, without any reference to me whatever, might have given it in perfectly good faith. So when I came home, to dinner I made some inquiries, and was cool enough by that time not to be overwhelmed with surprise to And that the address was apparently given in good faith. At any rate, there is a housemaid named Jane Perkins living Id this hotel.’’ The doctor simulated no surprise over this announcement He merely nodded calmly, and said: ■ “You will not have seen her yet, I suppose.” "So you know about her, tool" ex­ claimed Ashton. "And you were ahead of me again.

Open tbe door, Phelps." I imagine chat Ashton himself was not more surprised by the doctor's prophecy titan I was. To be sure I had (wnetrated further into the mys­ tery than Asnton had. I had shared with my chief the knowledge of Jane Perkins’ strange other self. I knew that the mysterious, savage creature tn fulfilling an oath, which to her must have |>oese8Red a religious sanctity, had committed what our more civil­ ized society celled a crime. And y« I felt' sure that Doctor McAlister meant more than that when he had promised Ashton the whole solution of the mystery. Tiie heart, the essence of the mystery was still unsealed. By some process of reasoning, or Intuition, which I had not followed, my chief held that secret, still unsolved. In the .hollow of his hand. iind he meant to reveal it to u« before the night was out. 1 opened the door and told Wilkins to come in. I had an impression that he started a Uttle at tbe sight of Ash­ ton ; and I didn't at all wonder, since I remembered the tacit understanding between ourselves and him, that this examination of the girl was to be for the purpose of shielding her against the district atorney, rather than of be­ traying her to him. t But I had very little leisure for re­ flecting on Wilkins* fears or mtagivIngs, because, almost before I had closed the door behind him, I heard the doctor call out, "Perkins." (TO BE CONTINUED.) COURT HOUSE NEWS. “I Suppose,** Said the Doctor, “That You Have Taken Precautions for Apprehending Her When She Comet Back?” you have iR>en precautions tor appre­ hending her when she comes back?” “Yes,” said Ashton; “there’s a man on watch in her room now. She won’t go far. I understand she’s been Hl the greater part of the week." The doctor smiled and waved his hand toward xthe telephone. “You may as well tell your man to go home,’* he said; “the girl’s here." Ashton sprang right out of his chair "What’s that!" he demanded. "You’ve got here here; hiding her from me?" “If I were hiding her from you, 1 shouldn't have told you. No, she’s not Id biding at all. She’s doing up tin bedrooms In this apartment. She’ll come when I call her, which I mean to do in a very few minutes. When she comes, I mean to make a little examln ation of her mind to determine hei actual connection with the crime." "I suppose,” said Ashton rather sar < astlcally, "that you won’t mind asking permission to contribute a feu questions of my own to that examinn tion." "Not at all," said the doctor qult< Imply. "You may ask her anything fou like.” There was a Uttle silence.

But she has confidence In Wilkins, and by his submitting to be harnessed in the same way we propose to harness her. which he has agreed to do.

The borer hunt is being conducted under the direction of C. O. Larrabee, fed­ eral supervisor of control work for Michigan. The European corn borer is rath­ er difficult to find in its early stages. For this reason, a picked group of men have received special training the past week at the federal corn borer station at Monroe in methods of locating evidence of the borer on corn plants and weeds. The group has been divided into 25 squads of two men each and commenced work in the state this week. Egg masses desposlted by the corn borer moths are looked for first by the scouts. If the larvae have hatched out from the eggs, then a search is made for them in the various parts of the host plant. The yonng borer is only about onesixteenth of an Inch long. The body of the pest Is light In color but the head is Jet black. It takes the young borer about six weeks to develop Into a fu 1-sized Enriched in beauty by new and fashionable borer, and it is during this growing color combinations, Pontiac Six is announced toperiod that the injury to the corn plants Is done.

In company with Mr. and Mrs. Ruble Bivens of Battle Creek, I left for a ten day* visit to Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bivens, 1807 N. 32nd St., Omaha, Nebraska. . Leaving Battle Creak early Thurs­ day morning, June 30, we drove 316 miles to Princton, Ill., where we spent the night, resuming our jour­ ney early the next morning and we reached our destination Saturday in the afternoon, a distance of 736 miles of good roods, beautiful scenery, etc. Saw a amall portion ot the flood district while crossing the Mississippi and Illinois river*.

Bivens', Ohama, July 4th, after witnessing a ball game at Fairmont Park, it was announced that I was wanted on the phone. My acquain­ tances being few in that city, I en­ tered the house with fear and trembling lest it be unpleasant tid­ ings from home. Needless to say I was overjoyed to learn the message came from Mrs. Emma Lathrop Hay­ man. whom I supposed lived in Wy­ oming.

Sev­ eral times during the day »he had been unsuccessful in reaching us by phone, from Omaha, at which place they were spending the day with friends and once more before leaving for their camp she tried again and succeeded In locating us and we were much pleased also. One cannot go so far from home that they cannot find the much cherished home paper. Thanks to The Nashville News for our pleas­ ant visit tq the Hayman Camp. I cannot refrain from telling you of our thrilling and Inspirational visit to these good people who gave us such a joyous time. Their camp, consisting of a train of freight cars, minus the engine, is located at Yutan, tut off On C. B. Q. track between Omaha and Lincoln, crossing the Elk Horn and Platte rivers. I was much impressed to find several college men in the crew, who were working for promotions In engineering and bridge construc­ tion. • To reach "Camp Hayman" one has to follow the old "Covered Wagon Trail," U. B. 16. which is plainly marked along the way with pictures of the ox-drawn covered wagon ar­ tistically painted upon the sign posts. Harley has worked for the C. B. Q. Co. for ten years and enjoys the work immensely, very much look­ ing the part of a veteran westerner. His present Job of wrecking the railroad bridge spanning the Elk Horn river will require from four to six months to complete, therefore they dug a well which is located at the foot of a steep bank requiring 43 steps to reach it, but the water is excellent. Just to tell you how cozy they are, will try to give a brief description of their living quarters. The freight cars in which they live are sealed within and painted white, thereby giving them a neat appearance and their living room comprising one car. contains rugs, pictures, piano, vlctrola. playing all the latest rec­ ords, radio, a fine one, parlor suite, rockers, gas lights, a sewing mach­ ine and a roll top desk, Harley’s individual property, where he safely keeps his blue prints and papers connected with his bridge work. The bed-rooms, kitchen and din­ ing rooms are equally well furnished as is also the cooks' quarters, who are Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Richards. Was pleasantly surprised when the "cow bell” rang for dinner to see the sixteen men file in and orderly take their accustomed places at the table, and were served a bounteous meal by the congenial cook, assisted by Mr*. Hayman to which they as well as the visitors did ample justice. Each morning Harley goes into Yutan to receive and give order*. He kindly Invited our party to ac­ company him on his. motor trip. ix> and behold, if his "Buick" was not a gasoline motor track car. Willing to try anything once we climbed aboard and after the first sensation had warn off, really enjoy­ ed the trip of ten miles, crossing the Platte river 700 feet wide, the track suspended about 50 feet above the water. rater. It reminded me of the ride in the alroplane. He ordered his weekly amount of ice, 1.200 lbs. for the large refrig­ erator in the store room, which also contains a large supply of canned fruits, vegetables, flour and grocer- in the afternoon we boarded a flat car to the scene of the wrecked bridge and witnessed the loading of huge cement blocks and girders, some of them weighing 80 tons by a big derrick lifting them upon the flat car*, which will transport them Lucky Golfer to the Burlington supply yards at An oyster containing a $500 pearl Harlock.

I can assure you of a most pleas­ ant time should you visit them, and also a thrilling experience in watch­ ing this unusual work.

Her aunt visioned a thousand accidents and cried shrilly, "Shirley, be careful!” A mild-looking youth In drab hiking costume pulled Shirley to the other side of the road, end encircled her shoulder with a stalwart right arm to steady her. “Oh, thank you." Shirley said duti­ fully. “You know America might have lost one of her rashest daughters If you hadn't jerked me aside in time." “And one of her prettiest, too, I venture," the youth added, with a wide winning smile. "Tosh," replied Shirley In her old contemptuous manner for flattery. _ "But I started across this road to get my aunt a drink. Now I see no cups." "If I may oblige you," said her com­ panion, proffering a cup from a camp­ ing outfit, “I’ll risk crossing the road this time for your aunt" 0 “No,"'she countered hastily, noting tbe disapproval on her relative’s face at this prolonged conversation. She bent over to fill the cup with glistening cool water, and thought her rudeness to tbe man who had saved her life was unworthy of her real feelings. "Here," he said, masterfully, “let me at least fill the cup for you, Miss . . "My name is Shirley Sumner. And yoursF’ she said evading the truth. "Timothy Torrence," he replied, suppressing a smile. She did not know whether he was smiling over her name or his own. His was funny, to tell the truth, she thought “Well, good-by and thank you for my life, which I do not value very much these days," she said, attempt­ ing to disarm further talk. "Good-by," be said, equally unper­ turbed. *1 hope to have the good for­ tune to rescue you some other time." Shirley ran back to the car with­ out a backward glance. Strangely, her aunt was smiling, and not at all Impatient As she jumped into the driver's sea, she thought guiltily that she might offer to drive her rescuer as far along the main road as ahe S guests at Leo Guy's.

QUICK & BEAN Her aunt voiced the same thought, which surprised Shirley. When ahe called the Invitation, he accepted with alacrity. “This 18 my aunt, Mrs. Brownslee, and this is Mr. Timothy Torrence," introduced Shirley. “Climb in and keep each other company. I’m driv­ ing as fast as I can to tbe Gardner estate at Langhorn road. If you want to stop before then, please signal me." Without another word she was off. Once again she shifted gears, but this time sat forward in her driver’s seat, tense. Faster and faster, she found herself flying toward Langhorn road. She could not hear conversa­ tion Ln the rear of the car, but did hear low laughter. What a sudden and strange cameraderie for staid Aunt Victoria! As there was no call for her to stop. Shirley thought her passenger was going past Gardners’. She stopped the car. almost wilted with tbe rush. “We’re iate already, Shirley,” said Aunt Victoria as she emerged from the car on the Torrence boy's arm ‘ Perhaps it will save embarrassment later if I Introduce you to Ted Far­ son right here, .^jlrley Van Dorn Is her right name." Bewildered, Shirley stared from one to the other, and then surveyed their smiles with one of ber own. • “Oh, I recognized her,” countered the smiling, brown-eyed traveler of intelligence. And once again, a stal­ wart arm encircled her shoulder and she- knew she would be saved from tbe danger of misalliance. TOILET GOODS HEN Malcolm Strong had first called on Maude Granger he had liked the bookish atmosphere of her houae—a little bouse, rather in need of paint, on an unpretentious street in the small city where Malcolm was for the time being stationed. For lack of anything else to do Malcolm had called on a number of tbe girls whom be bad met at the country club. Kate's bouse was brightly lighted and rather expensive­ ly furnished. Tbe radio sounded In­ cessantly. When any Jazz could be had rugs were turned back and every­ one danced. A noisy, care-free house was Kate's, that you left exhausted. The well-stocked larder at Alice's house furnished the chief attraction there. It was so different at Maude’s —no Jazz, no radio—and only occa­ sional refreshments. There were books on the tables, hooks on the arms of tjje chairs, and Maude always seemed to have a book in her hand when Rhe came forward to greet you. Malcolm found himself dreaming of a home of his own. with a background of books—and gradually he realized that the dream woman who figured In the foreground was Maude. Malcolm decided that he would try and bring the conversation around to the subject of matrimony. He didn’t want to plunge headlong into a pro­ posal of marriage' without giving Maude some sort of warning. -So. late one afternoon when he was calling on Maud^,and no one else wns present in the book-lined living-room, he re­ marked that he thought that every young man or woman ought to think of marriage as the only satisfactory sor{ of exlgt^e. Maude fingered the leaves of the book that lay on the arm of her chair. "Funny." ahe said. “I was just read­ ing about marriage •Marriage Is ter­ rifying.’ I have just read. ‘Marriage is certainly a perilous remedy, instead of on two or three you stake your happiness on one life only’—as Steven­ son says." Then she looked through the little volume for another quota­ tion. “‘But marriage. If comfortable, is not at all heroic,’ he says here. 'It certainly narrows and damps the spir­ its of generous man.*" A few days later Malcolm summoned courage to broach the question of marriage again. He said he thought that remaining a bachelor made a man narrow and selfish Mnude smiled a little. •‘You know what Stevenson says.’’ she countered. “’If you wish the pick of men. take a good bach­ elor.’ " So things drifted. Whenever Mal­ colm was brave enough to start the subject Maude was ready with a quo­ tation from Stevenson. Malcolm had determined that she was the girl he wanted to marry, and since ahe was so Indifferent to his ad­ vances. he culled on no one for weeks, spending his evenings alone in his room reading. He bought a set of Stevenson and re-read the old favor­ ites. leaving until last some volumes of essays that seemed rather dull. Then one dreary Sunday afternoon he picked up one of these volumes of essays. As he turned the pages he became more Interested—a few more pages and he seized a pencil and a sheet of paper, jotted down a few words, threw the book the length of the room, hurried into his hat and raincoat and started out A few minutes later .he was with Maude before a cheery fire in her book-lined living room. "Look here." he said, drawing hit chair nearer to hers. “I’ve been try­ ing to tell you something for a long time. And you’ve been putting me off. But don't think you are the only one who can quote R. L. S." Malcolm drew the scrap of paper from his pocket “‘Marriage Is terrifying.’ Ste­ venson says—but he adds: ’But so is a forlorn and cold old age. The friendships of men are vastly agree­ able, but they are Insecure.’ It’s not fair half quoting. What Stevenson really said was: Tf you wish the pick of men and women, take a good bach­ elor and a good wife.’" “I hoped you would be interested enough to find out" aaid Maude, turn­ ing her head away from Malcolm. “But I had made up my mind that you didn’t care very much." “Didn’t care," gasped Malcolm. *1 cared so much that I read or re­ read every line that Stevenson ever wrote—trying to find out where you got your quotations. As soon as I found the lines—I dashed right over here to do a little quoting for myself." Maude reached over to the table near her and picked bar favorite book of essays. She turned over the leaves rapidly—came to the passage she wanted and handed it to Malcolm. •Tve always rather liked this pas­ sage,” she said, and Malcolm read the lines to which Maude's slender finger pointed. "Love should ran out to meet love with open arms. Indeed, the Ideal story Is that of two persons who go into love step by step . . . like a pair of children venturing together into a dark room. . . . There Is here no declaration properly so called;, the feeling is so plainly shared, that as soon an tbe man knows what is Id his own heart, he Is sure of what Is in th# woman's." Maude closed the book and would have replaced it on the table, but Mal­ colm held her back, drawing her In a close embrace.

Well as *1 understood his experi­ ments. and confident ss I was In tbe success of them. I found It hard to go on breathing steadily while I waited for the response to the call that was to come from tbe Inner room.' Would it be Jane Perkins In her own proper person who would appear In the door­ way in answer to the call, or would the occupant of her body prove to be that other, wilder soul? When she answered, “Coming, air,” I drew in a deep breath of relief, forit was the voice of the girl who used and abused English as her mother tongue. The next moment she was in tbe doorway. She was not Fanenna. hot the girl who, with green, blazing eyes bad flung that deflant challenge back at the doctor only a few minutes before. And yet. she was not pre­ cisely Jane Perkins either, not the stodgy, thick-witted housemaid who had giggled with such unalloyed de­ light as she flshed for the doctor’s knife In the vase of water. Tbe girl who stqpd there now looking at us had thoughtful, troubled eyes. Something —an elusive memory, a nameless emo­ tion. a vague, fluid thing that wonld not crystallize wns perplexing her. Siu was trying to think, which Is some thing 1 am willing to wager that Jane । jerkins had. never done in her life. j Naturally, the first person I looked I at wh< • I withdrew my eyes from her ■ was Ashton. He was looking straight ' into her face, and it was the same ' face, in a purely physical way, that he j had seen the night be went to the hos­ pital with us. It was not until 1 saw the lo<»k of blank Indifference depicted upon his own that the realization was forced ujMin me that he would not recognize her any better than 1 had done. From him my gaze flashed round to the doctor, and on the way It took in Wilkins. Both of them were watching her, both, I guessed from their faces, had noted the same Inde­ finable difference that had struck me. it was the doctor who spoke. “Perkins,” he said, “here is Mr. Ash­ ton. He is one of the assistants to the district attorney, and he and I and Mr. Phelps here are interested In try­ ing to find out something about the murder which took place at Oak Ridge a few nights ago." “Murder!" she cried with a gasp. "I don't know nothin* about any mur­ der, air." “No," sold tbe doctor, “I’m quite sure you don’t But we think it pos­ sible that yon know some thing? which will help us to find out who the mur­ derer Is. Are you willing to help us?" She hesitated a moment then turned quite frankly to Wilkins. “Is it all right. Mr. Wilkins F she asked. Then quickly turned back to the doctor. “I beg your pawdon. sir. for askin’ such a question, but I know Mr. Wilkins, and if he says it's all right—" “It's all right, Jane,” be asaured her. “I came up here a purpose so that there’d be nothing for yon to worr; about.” “All rlgh'. sir,” she said, turnin; once more to Doctor McAlister. "I" be glad to tell you anything I k'Fm sure, though 1 don't see how what I know can help much, unless—" She frowned and rubbed the back of one hand across her forehead. ••Unless wbatr “Nothin’, sir. 1 seem to be thlnkln’ of all sorts of curious things, as If my mind was tryln' to wander like." Tbe doctor laughed. “We're all that way sometimes,” be said. “Sit down in this big chair." She obeyed a little reluctantly. Whether It was a half-memory of it that troubled her. or merely the In­ stinctive hesitation of one of her does to make herself comfortable in our presence, I did not know. The doctor busied himself with his Instruments. Tbe girl watched him -sther nervously. “I beg pawdon. sir,” she said. Are you goin’ to do anything with those? I don’t exactly like tbe looks of ’em. sir; all those queer lookin’ machine*. Is it anything like goin* to the dentist’s r “Nothing in the world.” laughed tbe doctor. “These machines don’t hurt. Here, Wilkins, git down in this chair beside her. and well harness you up too." He hung up before the girl one of the pair of little telephones that we bad used in our association test on Harvey. Then be turned his attention to Wilkins, who bad seated himself readily enough tn the chair the doctor had designated. “That’s a very impressive looking machine, sir,” tbe man commented. “May I ask what name It's called byt “Its name is just as impressive s­ it is," replied the doctor. “It ia caller! a recording phonopneumosphygmo graph."

He turned away too quickly to see­ the shrug of tolerant contempt which was all the answer Ashton vouchsafed to this suggestion. He unscrewed the megaphone which had* been at'ached to the instrument to which Wilkins had been harnessed, and attached to It a pair of ear tubes to listen through, a glass tube which looked like a ther mometer and another tube which ter mlnnted Id a glass bulb, half full of a red liquid. He put the listening tubes to his ears and started the machine. “Give Ashton a cigar, and don't let him talk.” was his injunction to me. For nearly a quarter of an hour after that there wns silence in the room; but at last he stopped the cylin­ der which was revolving tn the In strument. tbok the tubes from his ears and laid them on the table.

Gracey, Editor of the Gen­ eva (N. Y.) Times, says: That a hobby is a good thing. That an avocation is as necessary as a vocation. That there is truth in the old say­ ing that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." That people don’t play enough or laugh enough. That a hearty laugh is as good, if not better than a hearty meal. That genuine re-creation comes from regular recreation. That both body and mind need 'change from the dally routine. That the flapper Isn't as bad as she’s "painted", nor the shlek as much of a freak. That the hope of the nation Is in its young people, and despite criti­ cisms and the so-called "revolt of youth’’, they are measuring up to their responsibilities and opportuni­ ties as has no preceding generation.

BIG TWO-DA Y HARVEST FESTIVAL CELEBRATION Nashville Will Welcome You on Thurs­ day and Friday, August 11-12 Visit the Old Home Town on These Two Days — Shake Hands with Old-Time Acquaintances and Enjoy Two Days Replete with Free Entertainment. The various committees of the Nashville Harvest Festival associa­ tion will meet at the Club Auditor­ ium Friday evening of this week to complete minor arrangements for the approaching big two-day cele­ bration. The success of the com­ mittees points out the fact that Nashville's Harvest Festival this year will far eclipse anything that has yet been staged In the past, as a whole. The program of free eutainment is larger and better in ev­ ery way by far than last year. This year the attractions committee has had more time to make better selec­ tions in the line of stage perfor­ mances. Last year this committee particularly was handicapped, owing to the •short length of time they had at their disposal to book their vaude­ ville and aerobatic performances.' In our next week’s Issue will ap­ pear a complete program of each day's attractions and sports. Below we are giving just a synopsis of what Is in store for those who visit Nash­ ville on Thursday and Friday, ’Au­ gust 11 and 12. The forenoons of each day will be given over mainly to band concerts and contests of various kinds. Liberal prizes will be awarded to the winners of these contests. The afternoons will be replete with band concerts, free vaudeville performances, ball games and air­ plane exhibition flights with para­ chute drops. The ball game on Thursday will be between Sunfield and Nashville Independents, and on Friday between Lake Odessa and the local team. These teams are even­ ly matched and the base ball fane are assured of good entertainment. The free vaudeville entertainment will consist of at least seven big feature acts during each appearance in the afternoon and evening of both days. These acts will consist of aerial artists, balancing acts, wire walking and balancing, trained dog acts, tumbling, juggling, etc. There is a likely possibility that one or two more free acts will be added to (he program at the meeting Friday night when it will be known how much money has been raised. There will also be dancing,each evening at the dancing parlors. Large hand bills will be distribut­ ed in the near future. Get one of these bills, sit down and read it carefully. Nashville never does things by halves—there is a real good time in store for you. This year the dates have been arranged so that the harvesting and haying will be well out of the way, and it will be possible for all to enjoy these two big days. confiscates mounted eagle NASHVILI^E DEFEATS Conservation Officer G. B. Bera confiscated » mounted eagle Tues­ day, which was viewed with a great deal of interest by a number of the villagers -yesterday morning as it wqs exhibited for a short time in Bera & Sons’ display window before it w-as turned over to the state’ de­ partment at Lansing. The eagle was captured alive by a couple of boys near Gun lake, who kept the bird for several days with the inten­ tion of placing it in some state park. A Hastings man, who makes a hobby of collecting such trophies visited the boys’ home in their a Ik sence, however, and took the eagle? which he claims was dead, and turned it over to Taxidermist Her­ rington of Freeport for mounting. Mr. Herrington had fixed up the bird, which was rather a small specimen, in an artistic fashion, mounting it erect on a large block, decorated with the national emblem and bear­ ing the picture of Lindberg and a replica of his plane. All of the parties concerned were Ignorant of violating any law tn this matter, but the eagle is regarded as the national bird and is closely pro­ tected by both state and federal statutes. It Is unlawful for any person to capture one of these- birds or have one in his possession with­ out a special permit, and any viola­ tion bears a stiff penalty. STATE FARMERS GET NEW CROP VARIETIES. Plant Breeders at M. 8. C. Releas­ ing Adapted Strains of Wheat. Barley and (Hover. East Lansing. July 25.—A new va­ riety of barley, an improved wheat, and a promising strain of biennial sweet clover, which have been de­ veloped at Michigan State College, are ready for trial by Michigan farmers, according to announcement of J. F. Cox. professor of farm crops. The barley is a sxnooth-awned white variety that is the result of 14 years of M. S. C. experimental work. Michigan black barblees bar­ ley also has smooth awns, but the color of the grain made the variety unpopular with some farmers. The new barley, which will be called Spartan, is two-rowed and has a stiff straw which resists lodging. The heads in this variety stand erect on the straw, thus avoiding any loss of heads in cutting the grain. To meet a demand from the Michigan Millers Association, State College has worked with O. A. C. wheat and has a Mgh yielding strain rcad.v for release to the seed grow­ ers of the State. This wheat pro­ duces a flour especially adapted for pastry making. A strain of sweet clover that promises to be better than previous sorts, for a pasture crop is the re­ sult of a discovery of a single plant by a Cheboygan county fanner. The increase from this plant has been carefully grown on the College plats, and is now ready flor trial on Michigan farms. Visitors at the annual M. S. C. Farmers Day. August 4. will inspect the new varieties, along with all the fiber experimental and teat plats at he college. . Mrs. A. E. Keith and daugh­ ter of Monte Video, Minnesota, and Mrs. C. B.

DUNCAN LAKE TEAM The Nashville Independents scor­ ed another victory Sunday, defeat­ ing the Duncan lake team at Green lake by a score ot 12 to 7. The game was played on rough grounds, which- was not conducive to per­ fect fielding, and errors were plenti­ ful. The Locals were also handicap­ ped by the absence of three of the regulars, and while the batting honors were about even, the snbsitute line-up put up a better game In the field and won out by a sate mar­ gin. Archie Marlin and Penning­ ton did the twirling. Nashville’s next home game will be on August 7th, when the Free­ port team will come here for another league contest. Next Sunday the lo­ cals go to Marshall for a return game with the Marshall Indepen­ dents, and on Friday of next week they will play at the Ixike Odessa celebration.

MAKES LIBERAL DONATION TO NASHVILUC MASONIC TEMPLE Hastings Monument Works Donors of Fine Cut-8<one Name Plate. The beautiful cut-atone that en­ riches the appearance of the new vitrified brick front of the Masonic Temple, under course of construc­ tion, was the generous gift of the Ironside Bros, of Hastings, proprie­ tors pf the Hastings Monument Works. This splendid gift Is high­ ly appreciated by the membership) of Nashville Masonic bodies, and es­ pecially by the members of the Building committee. The stone is an extra fine quality sandstone, about three feet in length by one and -one-half in height, and five inches In thickness. The style and neatness of the raised lettering on its surface speaks for itself as to the excellence of the work the Iron­ side Bros, are capable of executing. The lettering reads: "Masonic" on the top line—“Temple" In the -sec­ ond line, and at the bottom in small­ er letters. "Nashville—1927.” At present the stone is covered to pro­ tect it from damage, but when it is finally displayed we are sure It will have many ardent admirers. The new front is rapidly nearing completion. Especially is it true that the front is going up rapidly when it Is taken into consideration the excellence of the work, and the painstaking care that Mr. Scofield, the mason. Is giving to its building. The front when completed will be about forty-two feet in height. Thus far the work on the front has been done by Frank -Scofield alone, as his brother Charlie has been busily en­ gaged on his farm, taking care of his wheat and other harvest crops. Charlie expects to be on the job in a few days, and with favorable weather conditions the front will be completed next week. NUMBER 1 BUSINESS NEWS —New tall suit*, 119.75 up.

The style started at the Bowen Methodist church. Several enterprising members of the choir, includ­ ing Miss Bernice Finley, Miss Ruth Gall, Miss Gertrude Hagen and Fred and Theodore Graham, devised the plan. The matter was put up to their director, Df. Dfi. Wayne Kidder, who thought it was great, and several swimming parties have already been held. But the 18 members of the choir have had a good time swim­ ming and then sitting around on the beach and practicing their songs. But now they”are planning some­ thing: different.They are going swim­ ming right after the rehearsal in the church. All members will wear their bathing suits when they come to the church, with bath robes or klmonas over them. After the prac­ tice session they will all go to the beach for a dip. • Choit' practice Is held every other Wednesday. It is planned to start the bathing choir practice next Wednesday.—Chicago Tribune. FACTS ABOUT THE TELEPHONE Chicago has an average of 3,800,­ 000 telephone calls a day. One out of every twenty working women in the state of Illinois is a telephone operator. As many as 550,000 telephone conversations take place a day in the city of Portland, Ore. There are as many telephones in Los Angeles today aa there were in the entire country in 1895. Twenty years ago there were 56,­ " telephones in the state of - 000 Bell Indiana. Today there are over 225.000. Venice is famous for its canals and gondolas; but Beloit, Wisconsin, has twice as many telephones as Venice.

PROTECT THE ’’SPIKEHORN.** Sensible Action Now Will Better Hunting Later. (By James Oliver Curwood) I am positive that even those hunters who now oppose the pro­ be wholeheartedly for its protection if they actually knew the conditions. .That Is. unlees they happened to be Editor's Note: This is the second of a series of arti­ cles on the conservation of Fish, Game and Wild Life in Michigan, written by James liver Curwood, chairman of the Fish. Ganiv and Wild Life Committee of the Con­ servation Commission of State of Michigan. Other articles will appear In early issues. of that Old Guard who fought against every protective and pro­ gressive measure, and who would like to legalize the spear, which has been outlawed in every progressive state. The members ot this Old Guard, the killers who would see the last grouse die before they would voluntarily close a season, that great minority among real hunters and fishermen who look upon all natur­ al resources as their own until the last hair and feather are gone, are now sending their protests to the Conservation department at Lanai ng against the protection • f the young spikehorn. But the great mass of the hunt­ ers, those hundreds of thousands of real sportsmen who want hunting to become better and better, who want constructive laws, and who made the One-Buck law possible, are not expressing themselves in the ov­ erwhelming way in which they should. The Conservation Depart­ ment at Lansing should be inundat­ ed with their requests, both as in­ dividuals and as organizations, for the protection of the spikehorn, and for the following reasons: We will, as an illustration. Lake an Individual spikehorn *born *in April or May. By the beginning of the following winter be is still a fawn, with little nubbins beginning to appear on his bead. During all of the next summer and the begin­ ning of the following autumn, when he is nearly a year and a half old, he is still fawnlike in “many of his habits. The mttlng season. If early, may begin in October, but It is not fairly "under way until November, when the shooting season begins. The spikehorn does not really start his activities as a breeder until late In November or In December, the majority of them delaying until the end of the rutting season, which Is after the shooting see son. Therefore, in allowing an open season on the splkefcorn, we slaugh­ ter the young breeders IN THOSE VERY WEEKS WHEN THEY ARE GETTING READY TO PROROGATE. This is not conservation. It is de­ struction. An Inexcusable crime. It is no more excusable than wring­ ing the necks of young partridges still In their nests and using them for squabs. Those who say there are enough deer In Michigan are wrong. We can have three times our present deer population and still have room for more. We can have far better hunting than we now have, and will get It only through intelligent protection. There are two other important reasons which call for the protection of the spikehorn. We cannot guide ourselves entirely by what the real sportsman does In the woods. If given half an excuse, will take chances In killing which the real hunter will not take. It is almost impossible to see the spike on a young buck at a distance of a hun­ dred feet, half that if he is running, and there are hundreds of killers who deliberately take thejr shots with the hope that what they are shooting at may be spikehorns and not does. As a consequence hun­ dreds of does are killed for spikeherns each year. A third reason tor the protection ot the epikehorn is that arly in the second year of his life Le still re­ tains much of the fawn’s curiosity and the doe's lack of caution, so that he is an easy victim to the killen Save the spikehorn, and then, with our One-Buck law. we will have better deer shooting in Michi­ gan than we have ever had. Reports this year show that an enormous number ot does were dry. ODlntons run as blsh a» fifty per- ° .XSlly S." invratlKatlr.K ever, day during the fawning season and am positive .. . at. .least.............. that thirty percent of .... the does were dry. which is an absolute proof of what the killing ot our spikehorns is doing for the birthProtecting the spikehorna will not lessen our deer-hunting sport, as some of the Old Guard killers maintain. It will make better sport. And it will be following that con­ structive program which is looking ahead to the day when all of upper Michigan from the tier of counties north of -Line Twenty will be one vast out-of-doors paradise which will offer sport and recreation to mil­ lions of men and women where It now calls to hundreds of thousands. To bring about increasingly better hunting and fishing conditions In Michigan the real conservation sportsmen, who are in the vast ma­ jority. must be heard at Lansing. It Is the man who has a personal axe to grind who usually lets his voice be heard. The present Conserva­ tion Commission is for a great outof-doors in Michigan, and we need the backing and the voice of the real sportsmen and conservationists. Our next conservation aeeting will be within a few days after the ap­ pearance of this article, the first Wednesday in August.

Here and there ini the litera­ ture of former ages we are given glimpses of the terrible scourges that at irregular intervals swept over all of the civilized world and decimated the population. One of the last great scourgee that visited England was that picured in Pepys diary. Terror at that time filled all men the air was filled with pestil­ ence, at Umes times there there were were enoe> it 11 seemed al !ot among the most deadly ot those old RcanrEM. mall nox scourges. Tvohus Tjphus and asmallpox have today been conquered. No one with even a smattering of a knowledge of history can doubt that the conquest of smallpox has come about through the discovery of Edward Jenner, who first experi­ mented with vaccination. No one who has lived today and has seen the swift onset of the disease in various instances, who has seen it quickly assume epidemic proportions and has then seen that epidemic speedily controlled, can reason and " same time doubt the efficacy ot vaccination against smallpox. There have been isolated Ins tan­ ces in which the vaccinated person , has suffered severely, there have perhaps, been rare cases in which he might not have suffered more from smallpox itself than he did from the vaccination, but these cas­ es are the isolated cases, the one in ten thousand. They do not count. What does count is that vaccination has placed in man’s own hands the power of forever freeing himself from fear of this disease. Not long ago in a New York community, a ne­ gro laborer drifted in from a Virgin­ ia county. He had been in the community but a short time when he developed smallpox. Several cases of it had existed in the south­ ern county town from whence he came. The county had no health, officer and vaccination was not re­ quired. In this northern commun­ ity there had been until his coming, no cases of this disease. However, after he was stricken 37 other per­ sons. who had been associated with him, developed the disease, none of whom had ever been vaccinated. The moral is so obvious that it scarcely needs pointing. Through vaccination smallpox can be com­ pletely conquered, and humanity made free from the fear and menace of this disease.

He shifted his weight from one leg to the other—all but danced—and his eyes sparkled as a boy's. “Yessir, there's gold here and you folks don't know It Do yon know why you don't know It? Well, It’s just because It’s close at hand. A laugh from the group on the porch of the Morcom house shamed the old man Into silence, but there was one who took pity on the butt of the town’s jokes. “Maybe,” he said, “old Tyler knows more than we. What was it now, you were saying?” Suspiciously the man made answer. Gone was the enthuslasm and he spoke slowly, with a reminiscent drawl. “It is only that men think they have, to go to the ends of the earth for precious metals. They climb rocky mountains, go Into the deserts, where they suffer of heat and thirst, travel 'way np morth to Alaska. fighL starve, and work themselves to death, and all tbe time . . “Yes." “All the time It may be right here, right under their doorsteps. Don’t you know they dug It out of a cellar of a hotel on the American river in Cali­ fornia, found It In fruit orchards In Oregon 7* "Yes. but, Tyler" the one who in­ terrupted spoke gently, “who ever heard of gold in this corner of Ar­ an n.«as7’ •That isn’t the point There are stories enough of the Indians finding It here and there are indications. You canit fool me on indications.” And old Tyler, offended and saddened, walked nway, for he knew In hlA fiWh cofflpflfly he could find enthusiasm once more. He was a figure around Llnderville, a man to be pointed to as a charac­ ter. And yet the town knew It would miss him If he were to wander fo new field*. At times he was gone for a week or more and there were few who did not own to sopie anxiety lest he should fall to return. No sooner was he back than came tbe temptations to twit him concerning bls enthusiasms, it was fun plaguing old Tyler. May­ be he didn't mind. One day after a particularly trying time old Tyler retired to his room in the hotel determined to shake the dust of Llnderville forever from bls feet. It was then be received his first let­ ter. one that be kept to himself de­ spite all the -curious Inquiries. Two days later, dressed for prospecting, he set out, stopping a moment before the group on the porch. “I'm on a good trail this time," he said, “Wouldn't be surprised if I struck it rich." When the usual laugh came the old man, for once, was not annoyed. He wave<£ his hand cheerfully and plod ded out of town. He did not come back. As the days passed men grew anxious. Then a searching expedition was started. At one place they found his pick and rgaln his old hat but there was no trace of the man. Lin dervllle recollected how It had teased the prospector and felt ashamed. A reward was posted and the porch con­ ferences took on a regretful and sol­ emn air. The second letter came for old Tyler and be was not there to open 1L For two days it rested on the desk of the hotel. “We might as well open It," one suggested. “It might be from some relative who ought to be notified of his death, or disappearance." They opened the letter, crowding around. Thia Is what It said: “Adrian Tyler: The quartx you sent me for assay Is unusually promising. It runs $90 to the ton and If you have any quantity, the prospect should be exceedingly valuable.” They had laughed I And he had gone off waving his hand and smiling. Old Tyler, the one they had believed touched by the love of gold, knew more than they. He had known It all the time. Llnderville was doubly ashamed, and then, as that feeling dis­ appeared, It became covetous. One by one, the male population took to the slopes and fields In search of the gold that Tyler bad found. The dream of that fortune, never found, endures there yet Back In Minden, with the son who wrote to him extending an invitation, old Tyler sits with the Cheas and Checker club as a man who enjoys a huge joke. "That letter," he said, “that letter 1 addressed to myself at Llnderville.

After dinner, because of the threatening storm, all went to the dining hall on the fairgrounds, where the fol­ lowing program was given with Mrs. Eliza Grant in’charge: The program was opened with community singing, led by Mrs. Elizabeth Cottrell, after which Mrs. Ida Cottrell called the roll of all who had been members during the 25 years. Twenty-two responded. Greetings were read from Mrs. Pearl Graves Novack of Detroit, Mrs. Effie Webber, Parkland, Alberta, Canada, Miss Antonette Pope, Stanford University, Califor­ nia, Mrs. Kate Mason, Winfield, Kansas, Mrs. Beatrice Campbell, Colorado Springs,’ Mrs. Loretta Ly­ ons, Battle Creek, Mrs. Emogene Wldrig and Mrs. Allene Spaulding of Bellevue, which were greatly enjoy­ ed by all. The charter members were asked to arise and a white daisy with! yellow cente-, representing the. club colors, was presented to the following: Mrs. Nina Daughtery, who was founder of the club and served as Its president, Mecdames Ixiura Snell. Minnie Slosson, Carrie Graves, May Mead, Mary Lidy, Eliza Grant and Marcia Sloseon. Two verses of "Dixie" were sung by Walter Grant—all joining in the chorus.

Mrs. Prudence told of her first visit to the club and of many enjoyable meetings together since. Mre.

While the gen­ tlemen were not members, but have always been allowed to furnish cars, pay the bills, etc., it seemed fitting that we should hear from them. Messrs. Vern Barker, Ray Noban and Walter Grant ’ responded, but all seemed of one mind, that tho ladlea were much better talkers and should be given the preference. Mrs. Ger­ trude Noban, our president for the coming year, told of the pleasure of the past, and hopes tor the coming year and future of the club. Mrs. Ni­ na Daugherty brought greetings and gave a group of readings as follows: "Foolish Questions", "Betty’s Base­ ball”.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES Diversification anti crop rotation lead to well-organised and profitable farming. All roots which taint milk should be fed immediately after milking. This applies especially to turnips and similar roots. Cows in good condition and pro­ ducing less than one pound of but­ terfat daily will usually not require grain if tbe pasture is good. In marketing fruits and vegetables no one factor is more Important than careful grading. If constantly adhered to it builds good will and create^ confidence. No greater .waste occurs in logg­ ing than that caused by leaving high stumps. These usually contain the clearest and highes--prlced material. The timber saved by cutting low stumps often largely pays for the logging operation. Mineral food for bens is best supplied in the form of oyster shells, or limestone, which supply the cal­ cium for eggshell formation. Bone meal may also be used to-advantage, especially to supply the phosphates, and is usually mixed in with the mash ration.

A total of 19,492 miles of surfac­ ed roads was constructed by State highway departments during 1926, according to information compiled by the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department ot Agricul­ ture. Of this mileage 13,664 miles was laid over former earth roads and 5,828 miles represented a rebuilding of old surfaces. in many cases, the damage to tim­ ber and the killing of young trees from allowing stock to graze in farm woodlands more than offsets the value derived from the forage. Two dollars per acre per year is probably a liberal estimate of the value of the forage in' average farm wood­ lands. while thrifty, fully stocked stands of timber will often grow at a rate of 250 or more board feet add­ ing a value of from $2.50 to $3.75 per acre per year. A monthly census of waterfowl at selected points through the Uni­ ted States is being planned by the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture.

Canada and Mexico. It will be an aid in administering Fed­ eral regulations for the protection of birds that migrate between the United States and Canada. The Department of Agriculture says rats are probably decreasing in numbers in the United States. Pres­ ent-day sankary requirements and modern building are having their effect. But In spite of all that has been done, the rat is still mankind's greatest enemy in the animal world. The Department has Just issued a new bulletin on Rat Control. It's Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1533-F. It points out that you should rat-proof all new buildings. Close all open­ ings through which rats can gain entrance. Remove all shelter for rats. Promptly dispose of all gar­ bage. trash, and other waste on which rats can feed. Kill the rats! Some day we may be able to get crop Insurance, just as we now can get life Insurance. That is the opin­ ion of Sir John Russell, Director of the Rothamsted Experiment Station in England, the oldest agricultural experiment station in the world. His station has been carrying on fer­ tiliser experiments’ continuously on the same land for 83 years. When such experiments are carried far enough, he said in a recent talk at the United States Department of Ag­ riculture. It may be possible for an insurance company or a fertiliser concern to safely guarantee or in­ sure farmers that If they use certain soil treatments they will get certain yields. “INSIDE" INFORMATION.

Serve It simply clabbered for dessert, with powdered sugar, honey, maple sirup, strawberry or other preserves, and a Utile sweet cream. ~ Or use “ it in griddle cakes, waffles, biscuits. muffins, cookies, or cake. Make __ it into salad dressing, or use it as a sandwich spread, with chopped nuts or olives or both. To make good iced tea you must first make good hot tea. Use from half to one teaspoonful of tea leaves per cup, according to th^kipd of tea and the strength preferred. Scald Jan earthenware pot, put in the tea, pour on freshly boiled water, and allow to steep from 8 to 5 minutes —no longer. Strain, cool, and chill, so that very little or no ice need be added at serving time. Pass sliced lemon and powdered sugar. To eradicate household ants, a sirup poisoned with arsenate of soda is effective where it can be safely used. To make it 1 pound of sugar is dissolved in a quart of water to which 125 grains of arsenate of soda Jis added. Use it after boiling and : straining, on sponges, placed where the ants will find them easily. The sponges are collected several times dally and the anta swarming on them are killed by Immersion In hot water. Now we know why a boat is call­ ed "ahe."

In some cases doctors sent back an unordered prescription for a nerve tonic in full payment for the ties, others returned tho ties with a “storage" or "packing” fee of 25 cents which was in most cases paid, newspapers in some Instances sent Tyler a few months subscripttan to their paper, and in many cases the ties were simply pigeonholed to await developments.

"Do the easy chair where you were be­ fore. No, my poor child, there's noth­ ing to be frightened about Don't cry. We’re not gofhg to hurt you." The perfect poise and balance of bls own nerves gave him a tremendous power of calming the nerves and quiet­ ing the fears of others. That single sentence, spoken In his calm resonant voice did more to reassure tbe girl than I could have dune in an hour. “Now you’re not afraid any more. June," he went on. “This little mirror, swinging so, makes you calm again, even makes you sleepy. You’re going to sleep already. Your eyelids are heavy. Your bands are heavy, too. and quite relaxed, Just as they are when you go to sleep. You're asleep now; fast asleep.” Once more, and only once, tbe doctor hummed the strange, droning tune of the death chant, and I saw. by tbe little shiver that went over the girl's body, that tbe transformation of he; personality had already tak^n place. “Watch," said 1 to Ashton, “watch the girl's face.” “You've been showing me wonders tonight," he said In a voice that was dulled with amazed bewilderment, "but this Is a wonder that out-tops them all.” AU that was true, for there, under h£s eyes, he saw, reapi>earing in the body of thia English chambermaid, the strange wild creature he had gone with us to St Martin’s hospital to see, a couple of night* before. Th* doctor’s voice broke the si­ lence. He spoke to the girl, a single, short sentence in what I now recog­ nized to be the Maori tongue. Then, without a pause, be went oh: “I am speaking In English now. Fan enna. and you understand me. Tell me that it is so.” Her answer wan a sort of clinking guttural, impossible one would think for a Western throat to produce. “Say It In English,” tlie doctor com manded. “Ee—ee," she said. Th* doctor turned to the detective “Mallory," he said, “you know where Wilkins' room In the hotel is, don’t you?” “Yes, sir, but it's locked. He’s gone off with the key." “Don’t waste time trying to find an other key," said the doctor. “Break the door down and leave It so that we can walk directly In. Then go to th!* girl’s room, find some warm wraps, a hat and a cloak and a pair of over shoes. Then get your own bat and overcoat and come back here." Mallory hesitated, and cast an In quiring glance toward Ashton. “Ob, yes,” said Ashton with a laugh “He'» the boss now. You’ll take al! your order* from him.” The doctor smiled. “1 think you’ll want your overcoat yourself, and lei me recommend a cap. if you have such a thing, rather than a derby. There’* no telling how Inn* we'll be out, and The Girl Was in the Act of Getting Out of the Window. "All ready," asked the doctor. "Then let’s be off. Mallory, you show us the way. Wt want to go to Wil­ kins’ room first.” “All of us?" questioned Ashton “Tbe girl, too?" “Yes," said the doctor. "She’s the important member of this expedi­ tion.” I caught then, and it made my flesh creep a little, my first inkling of his purpose. But it was perfectly evident from Ashton’s face that no sutb idea bad occurred to him. "Hadn’t she better be handcuffed to Mallory?’ he asked, as we were leav­ ing tbe room. “She might give us the slip." "No," said the doctor; “she’ll follow —follow like a dog." We threaded our way In silence through the corridors to Wilkins’ room. It was a small room, and 1 stayed back in the corridor with Mallory to make room for my chief and Ashton to go In with the girl. Whnt I saw through tbe doorway was curious and Interesting. Doctoi McAlister strode straight across to the wardrobe, flung ojien the door ol it, groped for a moment in Its Interior, with one hand, then withdrew It. waving triumphantly, an old shoe. And now Ashton’s eyes lighted up with the surmise which hud come to me a few moments earlier. “Good God, McAlister!" he ex claimed. “What are you going to do? “Pm going to find Josiah Haines alias Wilkins, if he hasn't got too long ■ start on us." As he finished speaking, he ostenta tlously sniffed at the shoe himself, *nd held It out to the girl. “Oss Enns," she said. “Exactly." said th* doctor; “Josiah Balnea.” “You can’t possibly mean,” ex­ claimed Ashton, “that you’re going to try to track him with her, as If—as if she were a hound.' It’s Impossible. Impossible and horriblb, too," be add­ ed with a shiver “So far as the horror is concerned,” said the doctor, “we can’t afford to be squeamish, with telephone and tele­ graph wires down all over the city, and likely enough trolley wires, too. He ha* too great an advantage of us to warrant our rejecting any means of finding him that come to hand, even though they are primitive. As for Its being Impossible, that’s exactly the thing we’re going to test. I don’t be lleve It i*. The girl scented us half way across Morgan’s study, and •pointed’ us, exactly as a setter points a quail. And she confessed to me that she identified the man she mur derod by his odor." Without, waiting for any reply, tie turned abruptly to tbe girl and spoke to,her in Maori, asking her a question. If one could Judge from the odd inflec­ tion of the thick, guttural word*. In her eyes already there was a kind ot smohlrring fire. The doctor cried out something rm ire in Maori, and accom panled the exclamation with a gesture of both hands toward the doorway. The girl darted out tietween Mallory and me. like some wild Ih-pjm un leashed, and set om down rhe corridor at a slow, swinging trot, her head bent low and swaying sideways; It was uncanny to see her. 1 felt my flesh creep as I set out to follow her. Mallory had not understood, and he made a motion to detain her, but this was checked by a pre-emptory order from Ashton. "Follow along!" cried the doctor. “Keep as close as you can. We mustn't lose sight of her!" We had lost sight of her already, for she had turned to the right into a cross corridor When we reached the corner where she bad turned, we all halted, as if some medusa hand had suddenly turned us to stone. The Meredith Is a high building. We were on the eighth floor, but the girl was in the act of getting out of a window. Mallory recovered the use of his muscles first, and rushed forward in an attempt to forestall what seemed to him a deliberate attempt at suicide “Hold .on 1" cried the doctor. “She's only going where Wilkins went. If there was a way down there for him she’ll be able to follow him snfe'y." “And wherever they can go,” aaht Ashton. “I guess we can follow." He started down the corridor as he xpoke. I should probably have agreed with him. had 1 not become aware ju«i then that the door beside which 1 wa* standing opened into the elevator shaft, and the gauge showed that the elevator was descending. I signaled li to stop, on the chance that it. might prove useful. By that time Ashton had already joined Mallory at the window. Ap­ parently one glance was all they need­ ed, for they caine hurrying back with white faces. “She bus worked herself along a slxIncb ledge," said the lawyer, “to an Iron standpipe. It’s not conceivable thet Wilkins went that way.” “Don’t forget that be was Bully Franklin’s first mate." said tbe doctor. “But this Is a better way for us. Come along" We all four plied into the elevator and told tbe boy to drop us. as quick­ ly as he could, right through to the basement The excitement in our faces was imperative. He threw tbe lever over and let us down at a tremendous rate. “This way," cried Mallory, rushing off In the dark. We lost sight of him. but heard sounds of a struggle he was having with a badly warped door which evi­ dently had not been opened in a long time. He conquered it Just as we came up with him. and the next mo­ ment peering out in the misty gray light to see whether we bad taken the right direction after all. we made out a dark blurred figure, which was. nevertheless, unmistakable. Still In that Crouching attitude, with bowed bead swaying from side to side, the girl was working round in widening circles, trying to catch the scent. Presently she caught what she had been searching for. straightened up a little out of her crouching attitude, and set out, briskly, at a gait which was neither precisely a walk nor a run. but which. If she should keep It up. would tax our powers to follow. She threaded her way down a threefoot paved passage, which led out of the court and Into a larger one. crossed this and vaulted over a low brick wall into the alley which bi­ sected the block behind The Meredith. She trotted the length of this, with us straggling along behind her as best we could, crossed the boulevard, with­ out a glance to right or left, and went straight on down the alley and through the next block. “You see," commented the doctor. •Tie took elaborate precautions against being recognized In the Immediate neighborhood of The Meredith. Almost every guest at tbe hotel, as well as the full force of servants, know him. But his chance of encountering any such person diminishes rapidly as he gets away from the vicinity of the hotel. He’ll leave the alley to take to the streets presently.” The prophecy came true. At the very next corner the girl turned to the left, and then held on, straight across two avenue*, until she reached a street where the cars ran. She made as If to cross this street, too, for she went straight out to the middle of It: then stopped, obviously at fault, and retraced her steps to the car rail near­ est the curb. “Well, that'* plain enough,” said Aahton in a tone of disappointment “She** brought us so far, but ain’t take us any farther, for here is where he took the car." “Walt a bit." aaid th doctor. “Watch the girt." She was crouched very low again, and quartering around In a circle. Just as she had done at the foot of the standpipe. Presently, to tbe surprise of all of us. unless it may have been that the doctor guessed, she caught a ■cent that satisfied her and led her diagonally back to the sidewalk; and once here, without a pause, she set out In the direction of downtown, straight down the middle of the side­ walk. her gait, 'that seemed unhur­ ried, unfaltering, a sure-footed com­ promise between a walk and a run. “It seems to b« all right." said Ash­ ton rather breathlessly, as we harried on after her, “only I don't quite see what he went out Into tbe street for." "To see If & car was coming. 1 sup­ pose." said th® doctor. “There wasn’t one in sight, so. rather than risk walt'"■r he set out afoot And I think h» We had not. and. what was mill tpore tn the point, followed the girl at the rapid pnee she set. for half an hour without seeing one. When we had first set out with her. our curlofdty as to whnt she would do prevented ,ua from paying much atten­ tion to the condition of the streets; but when the chase had straightened Itself out Into this long'pursult down the avenue, we had time to think of our surroundings, and to speculate whether they bettered the chances of tbe man we were pursuing or im­ proved our own for catching him. The trolley wires were evidently down in every direction, and the streets were so glassy with the frozen sleet and so perilous with tbe snapping, spitting ends of live wires that trailed here and there, that what little wheel traffic there was moved only with the very greatest difficulty. Without the means of tracing him. which the doctor's hyp­ notic power over the girl had provided us with, be would, after several hours, have been absolutely secure from pur­ suit There would have been no other way in tbe world of hunting for him than by this simple, primitive method of tracking him by his scent It was fortunate for us that there were few pedestrians abroad that night for tbe girl’s strange, uncanny gait and our hurried, breathless pur­ suit of her would, in anything like normal conditions, have created a sen nation which would have rendered the pursuit Itself impossible. As It was. the few people who had ventured out found all they could attend to in the Ice-glazed sidewalks, the wind-whipped corners, the fog and electrical peril of the streets. A few curious glances were cast after us as we went hurry­ ing by, but that war. about all. Suddenly the doctor dropped a hand on my arm. “I know where she’a go­ ing,” he said. “I ought to have guessed it before ever we started. Look there,” As be spoke, be pointed ahead and upward, through the fog, and, following the direction of hl* pointing finger, I made out. faintly, a luminous clock fnrp. “What la itr said L “1 haven’t kept track of where we were going. Tbe fog confuses me." ‘It’s the Western station," said the doctor, “and Wilkins, my boy," he punctuated the remark with a buffet on my shoulder, “Wilkins has gone to Oak Ridge I I ought to have known him well enough by this time to have foreseen that that was what be would do." “I don’t believe he’d be such a fool," said Ashton, “but I hope you’re right If he’s gone to Oak Ridge, we’ve got him. I’ve got two men out in th* Morgan house watching it, on the look­ out for anyone who might turn up there, and nobody who does turn up will he able to get away until they have accounted to me for their visit" We had all lagged a little. “Come along,” said the doctor. “We mustn’t get too far behind." We were pretty well winded, all of us, but we gathered up our energies for a final sprint, and turfied Into the great waiting room just behind her. She went straight to the ticket win­ dow, but without a pause there or a glance through, she turned In a sharp angle, exactly as n dog would do. and padded across the waiting room toward the doors which opened Into the train shed. “Follow her!" the doctor command­ ed Mallory. ”1’11 see alvout the trains." I was at his e>b«>w when he spoke to the clerk. That functionary was gaz­ ing after the girl with wide, terrified eyes. "in Heaven’s name!” he said, “what Is she? A woman or a beast?” The doctor did not answer. He Ig­ nored the question utterly. “When Is the next train for Oak Ridge due?" he asked. The ticket clerk rubbed his hands over his eyes. “Did you see her?” he asked. “That creature that just went through the door?" I did not wonder that he was horri­ fied. I remembered my own feeling when J had seen her start down th* corridor toward Wilkins’ room. The doctor paid no attention, and In the same level voice in which he bad spoken before, he repeated bis ques­ tion about tbe train for Oak Ridge. With an effort, the clerk rallied bl* wits and answered him. “There was a train pulled out about ten minutes ago.” he sold. “There won’t be another tonight Tbe wires are down on account of the sleet, and we’ve practically abandoned the sub­ urban service. It’s too dangerous. Everything bas to run witbout orders." “Did you bear that, Ashton?” said the doctor, turning away. "The last train to Oak Ridge that will run to­ night left ten minute* ago." CHAPTER X Ashton had followed Malloroy part way across the waiting room, a little nervous, I think, at the idea of letting the girl out of his sight So he had not heard whnt the clerk had Just told Doctor McAlister through the ticket window. “Well,” he said. “that is all right, tint lt?r We don’t want to go to Oak Ridge. If the train Wilkins took start­ ed onlj ten minutes ago. there's ample time to arrange to have him arrested before he sets foot on the platform at Oak Ridge. Where’s the telegraph office In tide station?' "It won’t do you any good," said Doctor McAlister. "There will’ be no telegraphic communication with Oak Ridge tonight." Ashton glanced thoughtfully about the room. ‘That possibility hadn’t oc­ curred to me." he said at last. doctor. “That's why he went. He’s the one man of us who really.grasped the situs lion. He knew Just what that sleet storm meant—that over a. terri­ tory fifteen or twenty miles square electricity was going out of'tbe buriM» of serving civilisation for a few hours. That one vital fact turns the world topsy-turvy. and makes some difficult things easy and some commonpisce things Impossible. For just tonight our thought* can’t more any quicker than our bodies can. So Wil­ kins has set out for Oak Ridge, and we can’t head him off. The only thing we can do Is to follow him. The ques­ tion is. shall we try to do thatr I followed Ashion's glance just then, and saw Mallory coming back with the girl. She seemed unconscious of hl* presence, and made straight acres* the room to where the doctor was standing In conversation with us. She halted beside him without a word, her manner perfectly quiet, though ex­ pectant. She was merely waiting for him to tell her what he wanted don* next. For the moment he paid no atten­ tion to her, did not even glance side­ ways at her as she'came up. That’s the question." he repeated to the attorney. “Shall we try to go out to Oak Ridge tonight? You spok* bf having two men on watch there all tbe time. Can you safely leave the matter of coping with Wilkins to them*' Ashton walked away a few pace*, then whirled and came back. His look was troubled, disquieted. “I wish you were there. Mallory," he said. “Green and Benson aren’t any too wide awake. They’ll have a man. to deal with who has Just out­ witted us.” “There are two rr—- — llctioD open to us," said the doctor. ~une 1*. to go home and go to bed. The other is, to get hold of an automobile and try to get out to Oak Ridge tonight. Our getting there at all is problemat­ ical with the roads In th* present con­ dition.” f Aahton whirled round and spoke to Mallory, “Go and telephone to the nearest garage for an automobile; quick!” he said. Then, addressing us. he went on: “There is no necessity for your going. Doctor McAlister, or Mr. Phelps, either. But Mallory and 1 can't afford to waste a minute." “You’ve wasted one already.” said the doctor, “telling Mallory to go Into that telephone booth.” Ashton, heartily cursing bls own stupidity, darted off after his messen ger. “I think HI go along with them,” said I to the doctor. “Just on the chance of my being of some service " He laughed. “Are you thinking you’ll leave me behifid? Come. Phelps, you know me better than that. No. His gesture included tbe strung, silent, expectant figure that bad been standing at his elbow all the time. "Do you mean to take her?” I ques­ tioned. "She’s brought us so far. She’s given us, up to this point, every mate­ rial fact that has made It jMixslble for us to establish Haines’ Identity and get on his trail." It just happened then that my eyes were on the girl. I saw her shiver, saw a took of human Intelligence and perplexity appear for the first time In that st range face of hers. I tried, with a nod. to direct my chiefs attention to her, bu! before he could ’ get my meaning. .Ashton came hurrying back. “There’s a garage only two or thr«* blocks away.” he said, “and Mallory ought to be back with a-car In a very few minutes." Then he held out his hand to the doctor. "I can’t begin to tell you." said he. “how grateful I am for th* help you’ve given us. nor for your pa­ tience with my unenlightenment." “No valedictories now.” said the doc­ tor Interrupting. “You’re not going to be rid of. us so easily. We’re all go­ ing with you." "Gond!” said Ashton. “I hoped you would, though I felt I hadn’t any right to ask It of you. Come! There’s th* motor. Let's lose no time." . My memory of the next two hours is one of unrelieved discomfort and con­ stantly Increasing apprehension. We skidded across street car tracks and had a dozen of what In normal time* we should have called narrow escapes, in th* first dozen minutes. After that we stopped counting. The excitement of tbe chase whs mounting In our veins. "He must be there by this time," •aid Ashton at last with a shudder. "I wish I knew that Green and Ben­ son were still alive." "I tell you be won’t kill," said the doctor, “not if he can help it He'll do it If they succeed in forcing hl* hand; that I admit. But hl* own tiererne** 1* the greatest safeguard those two men could have—his clevsrn*** and th*lr stupidity." "I wish I shared your confidence," said Aahton. (TO BE CONTINUED.?

LOUIS RAYBOLD (Copyright.) was a source of great Interest SHEto the people in the valley below?— that unknown girl who had taken pos­ session of the old Clark farm set aslant on old Smoky Top's slope. Fanners harvesting their crops would pause and glance curiously at tbe thin spiral of smoke traveling skyward above the treetops and wonder why she was there. Especially young John Hayes who bad recently inherited his father’s broad acres on which he and his mother lived alone. "Your turn will come," his mother frequently phophesied. "And I dare­ say Kitty Weatherby will suit me as well as anybody.” At which her. son would clumsily shift the subject Oh, he supposed he'd marry Kitty ultimately, hut for the present he had no wish to settle his fate tgo definitely. Had hla mother known 'that, since the day he drove to town and parked next a dusty* littie runabout, his mind had been filled with visions of a slender, brown-eyed girl with sun gold curls clustering under her felt hat. she herself would not have felt so sure of being mother­ in-law to Kitty.. As fall drew near, one might Indeed have been pardoned fur leaning on the pasture burs and. gazing at Smoky Tup. whose sides were a colorful mass of reds Hnd green* and browns, set off by the more somber evergreens. . And. as tbe season progressed, without rain, John would so lean on the bars. But sometimes he would frown and think of fire. "Just a spark and she’d be set off like slit shingles." he muttered one day. Then one evening, out driving with Kitty Weatherby at his side, he sud­ denly swung off from the main high­ way onto a hard-parked dirt road that wound In sharp, foliage-hidden curves up the mountain. "This Is exciting." giggled Kitty. “Haven't been up there since I was a kid. Besides, I'd like to catch a sight of that city girl. Jim Law­ rence—” she paused, catching John’s quick look, then continued defiantly— "well, he's been working for her, al­ though why he should, with his big farm—anyhow, he says she’s poor as Job's turkey. That her uncle left her the place, and It’s the only home she's got, and she's got to make It pay. but Jim says It wouldn't grow enough to feed a starving cat." Her companion's thoughts were ■ jumble of speculations. So the stranger girl wasn't a rich young lady riding a hobby. Ho Kitty waa still seeing Jim, his old rivaj. "What Jim says seems to carry comdderuble weight with you." he re­ marked coldly. "Just when—” he paused abruptly. “What’s that?" he cried. “Smoke!” The car shot forward beneath the pressure of his foot, while Kitty clutched his arm In terror, both at the mad swerve with which they rounded curves and st the thought of fire. “Can’t you turn?" she managed to gasp. John shook his head. He hadn't thought of tureing—only of going for­ ward to find out Just where that fire might be. If It were well al>ove the farm, the wind might carry It by, or a well-planned back fire or trench rel»el It. At the best he could get the girl and bring her down to safety. His heart glowed within him and he was not conscious of Kitty’s grasp on hla arm. “John, where are you going? See how smoky everything la and—oh. ao you hear that?” she fairly screamed. Sounds of crackling came to them through the acrid, darkening at­ mosphere. Then as they swung around the bend, they saw the fire. It was tbe farmhouse Itself, and John's expert eye saw at once that, set as the old house waa In the very center of the clearing, there was little likelihood of the surrounding forest catching. Two hurrying figures were moving to a safe distance what few pieces of furniture they had evidently been able to take from within tbe building. John, followed by Kitty, leaped to the ground. “No use trying to save the house." yelled Lawrence. “Let 'er hum. My wife here—" “Your wife!” both Kitty and John cried the word. “Married only this afternoon.” shouted Jim. still busy lugging chairs and tables. "Chimney must have caught while we were gone. Sparks on the roof did the rest Makes no real difference. Going to live at my place, of course." He threw a tender, protective glance at the girl who seemed lovelier and even more desir­ able than John remembered her. “The old tinder box might ua well go one time ss another.” And so It did. burning clear to the ground until only the blackened, smoldering embers were left. And it seemed to John as If, hidden in the debris, were the ashes of hla Idle dreams. Idle because he had made no effort to bring them to fruition. “You seem dreadfully quiet,” com­ plained Kitty as they drove home­ ward. For anawer, John resolutely put hla arm about her plump waist.

Sirs: Last Fall 1 purchased from your local agent some “ AA QUALITY" Fertilizer (Agrico Brand, 2-12-4) and used it on my wheat field. I used 150 pounds to the acre: My wheat yielded 30 bushels per acre and was of the best quality. I got 15 bushels more to the acre by using your fertilizer. Yours very truly, (Signed) W. 1. HOOVER Figure it up for yourself. Increased yield, 15 bushels to the acre, paid for the fertilizer seven and a half times over. A good profit on foresight and care in selecting fertilizer on its crop-producing record. Please remember that every batch of “AA QUALITY” Fertilizer has first to prove its value in our well-equipped laboratories. It has to meet tests which establish its crop-producing value.

By keeping one good sow and her pigs and breeding them one can produce more than 300 hogs in 3 years. In view of this rapid Increase the pro­ ducer can afford to pay a liberal price for a good eow.

Is probably >m 100 to 125 feet, although trees materially greater range are not unusual. This is three or four ee the usual size of normally ;e apple trees and from four to times that of the peach. It is not an uncommon practice to art feeding silage immediately afr the silo is filled. If a sufficient amount is fed off daily, this will lessen if not entirely eliminate the usual waste from spoiled silage that is found on top when the opening of the silo Is delayed a month or more. Silage still warm from fermentation Is not relished by cows at first but win produce no 111 effect provided it shows no mold. Moldy silage should not be fed. Systematic control of grazing, giving the opportunity for applying research findings, in the National Forests has increased their produc­ tivity by 25 per cent. At the same time the regulation ot grazing on the ranges has improved the condition of the livestock where it has been applied. On the other hand over­ grazing Is continuing on the 196,­ 000.000 acree of unappropriated and unreserved public lands together with a large acreage of Intermingled State private lands which cannut now legally be controlled. This ov­ ergrazing has caused such deteriora­ tion that these unregulated range* are producing only one-half of the forage they could produce, and live­ stock production is greatly restrict­ ed as a reeuP. The quality of timber depends largely upon the density of the stand. High quality tlmbe'r to a great pro­ portion of its height is free of llmbe, the cause of knots; It is tall: and does not decrease rapidly in diame­ ter from the butt to top of last log. In a dense stand of timber there is among the Individual trees considera­ ble competition for sunlight, with the result that height growth Is In­ creased. Trees In crowded stands therefore are usually taller than those In thin stands of the same age. When trees are so crowded that sunlight does not reach the lower branches, these soon die. become brittle, and fall off or are broken off by the wind. snow, or other agencies. Further, In dense stands the diame­ ters of trees do not decrease rapidly between the butts and tops. The reverse is true of uncrowded trees. For best results In timber growing in farm woods or elsewhere the trees should be so crowded that the crown or top of each Individual tree may be in contact with those of its nearest neighbors. Fattening improves chicken meat. This improvement, and not mere added weight. Is the main object of fattening. Putting on fat for fat’s sake is purely secondary. When a chicken has been properly fattened, much of the water in Its flesh is re­ placed by oil; so that when the chicken is cooked its flesh becomes tender and juicy. A suitable fat­ tening ration for chickens can be mode from a variety of grains. Here is one: 6 parts by weight of corn­ meal. 2 parts ground oats, without hulls, 11-2 parts middlings and 1-2 part meat scraps. Mix with milk, using 2 pounds of milk to 1 pound of mash. When you first put the broilers on the fattening ration be careful not to overfeed. Keep them Interference Resented Nature is just toward men. It recompenses them for their sufferings. It renders them laborious, because to the greatest tolls It attaches the great­ est rewards.

When freah peaches are over, bananas are always avail­ able, and the dried fruits, such as apricots, prunes, figs, and dates, are excellent when made into a thick sauce and served on biscuit dough with whipped cream. Celeriac, or knob celery, is avail­ able in summer-time and is very ac­ ceptable when stalk celery is hard to get. It is pared and sliced, like turnips or-carrots, cooked in a small quantity of water and seasoned with butter or cream. It also makes an excellent addition to potato salad. Caramel flavor is easy to make and may be kept on hand. Put half a cup of granulated sugar over the fire and allow it to melt and become brown without scorching. Add half a cup of hot water and cook about five minutes. Use according to taste in flavoring puddings, cake icing and ice cream. There are any number of suitable garnishee and flavorings for iced tea. Slices of lemon, orange, or lime are good. A spray of mint Is attractive. Candied orange or lem­ on peel and candied pineapple may be used. Some people like whole cloves, a stick of cinnamon, crystal­ lized ginger, or rose geranium leaves with iced tea. Oranges are a rich source of vit­ amins and minerals. Children, need a constant and abundant supply of these things in their food to help them grow and develop normally. Oranges also have the advantage that they can be given between meals without spoiling the appetite for other foods at the regular taeal time.

At Gettysburg the party hifed the services of a guide and were shown around through the famous battle­ field of by-gone days. Many inter­ esting historic landmarks were point­ ed out to them.

We know what he Is. We know that he is morally responsible for the murder ot Henry Morgan. But suppose you were not, the district attorney.

The difference was ns subtle as It was unmistakable. What we saw was another—radically new personal­ ity. It was as if the partition walls which had separated the personality of the stupidly respectable chamber­ maid from that of the untamed savage of the South seas were breaking down; as If these two widely sundered persons were merging Into one. Neither Jane Perkins nor Fanenna could have uttered the word “murder" In Just that accent of half-apprehended horror We were nearing our journey's end. Our road lay alongside the railroad line, and already we could see the one light In the Oak Ridge station window There was no time to grnpple with the new problem. Then the chauffeur spoke to us through the little speaking tube which connected the chauffeur’s seat with the Interior of the limousine: “There’s e house on fire, up ahead there." We all lodked. and instantly saw a sudden lurid light, which was piling up the sky; saw It pierced the next moment by angry orange-colored flames. “He’s set fire to the house!" the doc­ tor cried; and added. Into the speak­ ing tube. “Put on all the speed you can! We’ve no time to waste!" The chauffeur obeyed, and within two minutes we were at the scene of the fire. The cold air of the winter night was already resonant with the shouts of the firemen and the excited exclamations of the crowd of half­ dressed citizens who bad gathered to render what assistance they could, and to enjoy the spectacle at the same time. Mallory had already swung the door open and was half way out of the car. when an exclamation from the doctor stopped him. , “Hold oh 1" he cried. “This Isn't the house. The Morgan house is two blocks further on down the street. Drive on I" he shouted to the chauf eur. “We mustn’t waste a minute!” Mallory sprang back to bis seat, and once more the car lurched forward The doctor held the door with one hand and leaned far out. scanning the road ahead with eager eyes. “Drive slow." he cautioned the chauffeur. Then be turned and spoke to us in side the car. "I've an Idea that we better not drive right up to the bouse. There’s no need of giving any more warning than necessary of the fact that we’re coming. Look out ahead here. Phelps. Isn’t that white gate half way down the next block the gate to the Morgan yardt* I peered out over his shoulder. “Yes. I couldn’t mistake that," said I. “Good." said the doctor. “Stop here " We four men clambered ont of the car, the girl still fast asleep, still lean­ ing back against the cushions in the corner, undisturbed by the confusion of our dismounting from the car. “What shall we do with her?" I In qulred. “I suppose she's safe enough where she is. She’ll hardly wake up until you tell her to. will she?” “No. The sleep Is hypnotic." raid the doctor. “She’ll be safe enough here so far ns that goe? " “It comes down to this.’’ said Ash ton. “If Wilkins is In the house, we sha’n’t want the girl. She’d be In the way, for If he’s cornered, he’ll make a stiff fight But If be’a been to the house and d<«ie his tyork and already THURSDAY, AUGUST 2S. 1927. Hold on."

The doctor nodded Without waiting for aiiy furthei bidding. Blallnry ruebed off In the dark uess. up the street toward the white gate.

I saw him stop and stiffen, and heard him cutch his, breath with a gasp. “Th:.! ► him." he whispered. “We've got him." The next moment I saw It, too—tire silhouette upon tire blind of a figure In cap und ul.-.ter bending studloubly forward over the desk, in the chair In which Henry Morgan had sat when he met hla deatlj. “Yes,” I heard my chief say In n piercing whisper; “yes. we've got him —unless, unless. In some way, he's counted on making us think we hud him—when we hadn't" "Why do ynu think that?* Ashton demanded under hla breath. “It's—It’s a little too obvious," said the doctor in uneasy hesitation. “Why should he court discovery in that way? Why should he be sitting there with hla shadow on the blind, when he knows that half the town has been noised by thia fire?” Ashton started forward Impatient I ly. “Tills la no time for tbenriea." he , muttered.

To me it seemed that the doctor’s question had been fairly answered, and I moved forward, as Mallory and Ashton did. My chief hesitated an in­ stant, then gave a nod of assent Mallory pulled open the gate. We all followed through it Then I glanced up once more at the lighted window blind. “Look 1” I cried. “He’s gone I” . ITO EE CONTINUED.)

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla. Stere Kelton, assistant business manager of the Houston (Texas) Chronicle says: That the family which patronizes its home-town merchant Is practicing loyalty, but that is not sufficient rea­ son to continue the practice. The money'spent with your home­ town merchant remains in your city. Money sent to mail order houses goes turn. The things you buy from your home-town merchant are, in most cases, on a price level with those you get from mall order houses. You also have the privilege of making careful examination and comparisons. Any necessary repair, adjustment or exchange after you make a purchase is readily made with your home-town merchant, whereas this Is not possible with out of town purchases. The family whose income is spent and Invested with home-town institutions Is building for a solid future, is enabling merchants to en­ large their stocks and the scope will do more good In building a larger and better community of prosperous citizens.

Fur farming, or the raining of fur animals in captivity, has steadily de­ veloped until the investment in the business in the United States and Alaska is about $30,000,000, and in Canada about $11,000,000. There are more than 4,000 fur farmers in these countries most of them raising silver or blue foxes. Fur farming Is also being undertaken in European countries and in Japan, where it is having a steady growth.

Potts, chief poultry marketing specialist of the United States Department of Agriculture, it has passed well be­ yond that value and has become one at the leading agricultural indus­ tries of the country. Chicken egg production on-farms Is in the neigh­ borhood of 2,000,006,000 dozen an­ nually with a value of $600,000,000 or more, while the number ot poul­ try raised each year is approaching three-quarter*! of a billion with an approximate value of $500,000,000. These production and value figures include farm production only and do not embrace the village and city production, which, if its extent were known, would undoubtedly swell the totals considerably. Grass, some variety of which can be produced on most every farm. Is the cheapest feed for hogs, ac cording to E. Z. Russell, swine spec­ ialist of the Bureau of Animal In­ dustry, United States Department of Agriculture. Alfalfa is the best hog pasture and red clover a close sec­ ond, while all clovers are good. Some farmers probably cannot ar­ range permanent pastures, but many different temporary pastures may be provided: rye, rape, soybeans, cow­ pea^ and oats are all good. When 1 hogs are on pasture practically all the manure is saved, whereas when they are in dry lot some is unavoid­ ably wasted. Many -varieties of wheat well adapted to all districts in this conntry where flag smut is now known have been found immune or highly resistant to that disease, says the United States Department of Agri­ culture,. among such varieties being the China. Forward. Fulcaster (Including Stoner), Fulhio, Gladden. Mammoth Red. Pennsylvania 44. Portage. Red Rock. Rudy, Sheperd, Penqulte (Velvet Chaff), and other winter wheats. Perhaps the great­ est danger from disease in this country in the future lies in its pos­ sible spread to the Pacific Coast State©, where the climate conditions are similar to those In Australia, and where wheat susceptible to flag! smut are grown. Many a man claims to be nervous, when as a matter of fact he is merely ill tempered. There is one redeeming feature about a cronlc borrower; he never strikes a man when he is down.

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 process. This process, witnout in any way impair­ ing the strength of the fiber or loosening the weave ci the blanket, raises a thick “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 fines of Wearwell Blankets. Their prices are decidedly moderate. Prices from $1.75 to $9.50. E. A.

Nashville High Grads? MY CONCEPTION OF THE SCHOOL SITUATION. ' "None is so blind a* be who will not see." This is a statement that ha* pointed application for many citizens of Nashville. Fearsome pictures of the impending doom of our village are pointe 1 by those who are given to looking upon the gloomy side at life, and every question pre­ sented therein, and are afraid to spend a few dollars In taxation in the place whore they have made their money, and In many instances from tho labors of the parents whose children they are now denying the rights of education to which they are entitled; and the pity of this fact la, that the selfish motive is not by those who are unable to with­ stand the extra tax. but quite the contrary. From their aide, a passive obser­ ver gets tiie impression that Nash­ ville is tottering and *oon will make its exit from the stage of the world. If the lull truth oould be ascer­ tained, no doubt many "agencies" in Nashville would be found to be con­ tributing directly or indirectly to the woeful state of affair* In our school situation. A super-abundance of leisure time for certain individuals has without Qu«G°n played a conspicuous role In the drama. Each of us who has an education either school or college, has ot> talned something from the commun­ ity at large for which he or she has not paid, and no self-respecting man or woman is content to rest under such an obligation. The person who accepts It must be content to accept It merely as charity, unless he returns it in full by doing as much for others. A man who has not some surplus of thought and energy to expend outside the narrow circle of his own task and personal Interest is indeed a dwarfed and uneducated man. It Is true that we were placed up­ on the accredited list of schools for ■ a period of two years, but with this proviso: "That we continue to work for the much needed addition of It might also be well to explain to you that our school tax rate of December 1926 was *12.68 per 51.000 assessed valuation, which 1* much lower than most of the towns /*' 1“ a ,1Bt of »®^teen J?’™ °f OUr 8,Ie> We were Blxth from the bottom.

Of course note tho tact that this Prtoe Included a certain parcel of land, owned by our opposing board member, but now It would be com■Plttlng a crime to ask the electors to build an addition at one-half that cost. Why the sudden change of mind, please? Last week’s article said: "Everyone will agree that the school should come first.” Do they’’ I think st me agree It shall not come at all, If they can prevent It. Am I right? Some would have you believe they favored an add‘lion of room; also a reduction of taxes in the village. Does it look like that to a man on the fence, when a few objectors bring suit against their own district to re­ strain them from buying adjoining property which a majority of the taxpayers had already voted to buy? Again I say: "None is so blind as he who will not see.” Who shall rule—majority or min­ ority? Truly some of us are Just­ ly proud of our school and offer no apology, but certainly there is no suffering from lack of publicity on the part of some who display their interest by making unkind remarks and false statements. Sincere congYu-alatlons to the citizens of Vermontville for their quick conception of the fact that they needed a new school building. You have the right community spirit wittich seem to be sorrowfully lack­ ing in Nashville. Also want to thank Hastings for her sincere interest In our school problem and still pleasantly recall the courtesy of your people in al­ lowing our basketball team the priv­ ilege of practicing in your auditor­ ium. This trifling episode reminds me of the word* of Isaac Watts: "While the lamp holds out to burn. The vilest sinner may return." And conversely: "The greatest saint may find hl* vaunted virtue ain’t.” . In other words, the game 1* not over until the last man is out Ln the ninth Inning: many a touch-down has been made in the last second of play. So it Is, that some of you may be interested to know that a law giving the school board, instead of the electors, the right to designate site, went Into effect September 5, 1927. Mr*. Floyd F.

Wheat and Rye Pay Fine Profit on Lime and High Grade Fertilizers. High grade complete fertilizer and lime applied to soil upon which wheat was grown on the Cass coun­ ty farm this year gave a return of 559.45 per acre more than was ob­ tained for wheat grown on aimilaxsoil which received no lime or fer­ tilizer, according to an announce­ ment from the soil* department at Michigan State College. The profit obtained from the fer­ tilizer in Cass county thia year agrees with the results obtained in. other localities in other year*. Thenoils department at the college ha*, had charge of the soil* management work on the Cass county farm for the past ten years. IJme and complete fertilizer used on rye on the same farm paid a re­ turn of 534.21 more per acre than rye on unfertilized soil. Both wheat and rye yielded much better when lime was used than when the soil received no treatment; but the max­ imum benefits were obtained when both lime and fertilizer were used. The use of high grade fertiliser* le recommended for wheat and rye tMjcause the units of plant food in this type of fertilizer are cheaper than they are in low grade. Tho filler used in fertitfrero he* very little value as plant food. For both wheat and rye, at least 200 pounds per acre of a fertilizer with an analysis of 2-16-2 or one or similar composition should be used on light sofls low In fertility. A similar fertilizer or 16 per cent, acid phosphate should be used on the better soil types.

"In bog raising it is not so much the kind of pasture as it Is the neces­ sity of having a good pasture of some kind.”—E. Z. Russell.-: Although steel and rubber large­ ly enter into the manufacture of au­ tomobiles, there is more wood used, in this industry than ever was re­ quired in the old horse-vehicle bus­ iness. Cattle should not be fed within 24 hours before slaughter, but access to fresh water is desirable. Do not kill the animals while in an ex­ cited or over-heated condition, as they will not bleed well. Beef from animals not properly bled does not keep well. Rubber hoof pads are not recom­ mended tor horses that work bn the farm, as the soil works its way un­ der the pad, causing lameness by ex­ tra pressure on the navicular joint. When rubber pads aro used, the Bu­ reau of Animal Industry advises that pine tar with a thin layer of oakum should be applied to the sole of the foot to keep it mold and avoid con­ traction. The manner in which the average hen molts or sheds her feathers is a reasonably safe guide to follow in weeding out poor layers. The better producers continue to lay late In the fall and therefore do not molt until late. The late mo Iters also molt rapidly as a rule, while the early moltera, which are usually the poor layers, molt slowly. Hens that have not molted by August or September will show dirty, worn, or broken plumage, while those that have molt­ ed early show fresh, clean plumage or growing feathers at this time. Lightning conductors should be attached direct to a building with metallic fasteners. Porcelain insula­ tors are not required. A good elec­ trical connection with the wet roof and walls of a building, says the Weather Bureau, helps to relieve the structure of its charge.

Washington, D. C. In a recent questionnaire on the meet buying habits of American housewives, approximately 50 per cent of those questioned believed that the butchers they patronised handled either the very best or a very good quality of meat. Comment­ ing on this opinion, economists of the United States Department of Agriculture point out that only 9 per cent of the beef animals slaugh­ tered at the Chicago market in 1924 were graded as prim© or choice and suggest that "the lack of consumer knowledge of meet grades and qual­ ity was evident.” "Why should farmers plant trees?', is asked and answered by Alfred B.

Celery for soup should be chop­ ped or cut very fine to give the juice a chance to mix with the other soup flavors. Beets need not always be served cold, in vinegar. The new, young summer beets are especially good hot, with butter and salt and pepper. Cook them in th edr skins and peel them when done by plunging into cold water. If your sewing machine has been closed for any length of time, it will probably need a thorough going ov­ er. Wipe and dust it carefully, fill your oil can with kerosene, oil ev­ ery part and run it vigorously with­ out thread until well loosened up. Then oil with good quality of ma­ chine oil and go over all the parts again. Wipe and clean carefully, stitch on scraps until the thread is perfaotly clean, and as a final pre­ caution, tie a bit of wool on the pres­ ser foot above the needle to prevent any oil from running down on the work. Thinly sliced bacon is delicious when browned under the flame of the broiler in a gas stove. It is then free of excess fat, crisp and ap­ petizing. Good results can also be obtained by frying it in a heavy skillet, draining the slices and ab­ sorbing a large part of the fat with brown paper. Apples or tomatoes can then be fried in the fat and ac­ cording to the Bureau of Home Eco­ nomics, U. S. Department of Agri­ culture, make a particularly attrac­ tive breakfast dish. The following recipe is suggested for'fried apples and bacon: Select good tart apples. Peel and cut them in 3-4 to 1 inch cubes. Fry the bacon in a heavy skillet. Ab soon as the slices of ba­ con are crisp, remove and drain them on clean brown paper. For frying the apple* you will need abut one-fourth cup of the bacon fat. Put the apples in the hot ba­ con fat, piling them up rather high in the frying pan. Sugar to taste. Be sure you use enough sugar: ap­ ples fried this way require a little more sugar than apple© fried Ln the ordinary way. Cover and cook slowly un'11 tender. Then remove the cover, and turn the apples gent­ ly, so the pieces will keep their shape. Let them brown lightly; they are then almost transparent. Place them in a hot platter and sur­ round them with the bacon. HOW TO GO BROKE FARMING Grow only one crop. Keep no livestock. Regard chickens and a garden as nuisances. Take everything from the soil and return nothing. Don’t stop gullies or grow cover crope—let the top soil wash away, then you will have "bottom” land. Don't plan your farm operations. It’s hard work thinking—trust to luck. Regard your woodland as you would a ooal mine, cut every tree, eeH the timber and wear the cleared land out cultivating it In corn. Hold fast to the idee that the methode of farming employed by your grandfather are' good enough for you. Be independent—don't join wjth your neighbors tn any form of co­ operation. Mortgage your farm for every dol­ lar It will stand to buy Chings you would have the cash to buy if you followed a good system of farming. —Division of Extenoton, Unbraratty of Tenn osmo.

That is the out­ look now with the corn crop in the corn bell from two to six weeks late and trxM likely to come any night. There never was a time when early gathering, drying and storing of seed corn will pay greater than it will thia fall. Unless we gather oiir own-seed this fall thousands of us next spring will plant seed that is weak or dead. Or we will buy seed from ’way off somewhere that is not suitable for our locality, and as a result our next year'* crop will again be weak and late. Here’* an important thing to bear in mind right now: . Any farmer can have his own seed corn for next year, if his com, this year, gets past the roasting ear stage of% maturity. Corn gathered in hard roasting ear stage and thoroughly dried will grow. It is surprising how vigorously it will grow. This early-gathered seed will shrink and shrivel considerably, but the importtant thing this year, is Uhe fact that It will grow. In any emergency delay is serious. The man who does something about his next year’s'seed 'before ft is too late, is the man who will have seed corn to plant in the spring of 1928.

Freezing never does seed corn any good no matter how dry die seed is. No one denies the state­ ment that seed corn is better when it ripens and hardens on the stalk, but it won't do it this year. It’s a lot better to have immature seed that will grow and be suitable for the locality than to have no seed next spring or to send away off for seed corn that may not mature, no matter how good a corn year 1928 may bo.

The field survey begun August 15 to determine the corn borer infes­ tation of the 1927 corn crop in the area covered by the 110,000,000 control campaign in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, New York and Pennsylvan­ ia will be completed about Septem­ ber 30, says the United States De­ partment of Agriculture. Approximately 850 townships are being surveyed, involving five corn­ fields per township. Within each field a census is taken by corn bar­ er experts experienced in locating the destructive borer. When the campaign was author­ ized by Congress the department considered eradication of the corn borer impossible. The spring clean­ up campaign conducted in coopera­ tion with the State departments of agriculture and the agricultural col­ leges in th© infested area was there­ fore an intensive effort to alow down the natural spread of the borer into the Corn Belt and to delay com­ mercial damage In territory already infested. The results of the survey will show to what extent this cam­ paign was successful. The survey was not started until the borer* had begun to reach ma­ turity and the maximum damage to the corn crop could be determined accurately. Until this survey: is completed, it will not be possible to make any conclusive statements relative to the comparative corn barer infestation In 1926 and 1927. Any statements or reports, gaining circulation before the final figures from -this survey are available, must be based necessarily upon pure guesswork or upon a small portion of the total area known to be In­ fested by the peet. ' Last year’s survey showed an alarming increase in territory with the heaviest infested regions on the shores of the Great Likes. This Infestation reached 248 borers per 100 stalks In China township, Ma­ comb County, Michigan; 174 borers per 100 stalks In Jerusalem town­ ship, Ottawa County, Ohio; while a number of Lake townships showed an infestation of 80 borers or more per 100 corn stalks. The spread In territory so alarm­ ing last year was into southeastern Michigan, northeastern Indiana and centra! Ohio advancing towards the fields of the Great Corn Belt. The present survey is showing some in­ crease In territory on th© outer edge of the tafeatod area but how great a check has been placed on the west­ ward advance of the corn borer can not be determined until th© final reports of the field inspectors are ta.

FURNISS REXALL STORE Nine Lives Snuffed Out. We've often wondered what Sam Varney keeps in the little old stone jug up at the new Masonic temple, where he is working. We don’t exactly know yet what the contents of that fool jug are composed of, and what's more, we are not going to, try to find out Monday morning when we' went up to the building, not over three feet from Sam’s mysterious jug lay some one of our citizen's big pet tiger-colored Thomas cat. dead as a (brick) bat. Sam had careless­ ly left the cork out of,the jug for the week end, and the poor, unsus­ pecting pussy had gotten about three feet too dose to it. Sam has Thomas nicely done up In a paper and out of the danger zone, and is waiting for its owner to come up and identify it. — o — Personally we would suggest that Sam have the fool jug buried instead of the cat. —o — Yep, Smokin’ is Darn Expensive.

(Noon hour) Then right al­ ter dinner all of a sudden it sounded to us as if the boss’ typewriter had gone wrong—but it hadn’t. All the commotion was caused by a little spark dropping out of the little dudeen—and there was a miniature spontaneous combustion right on the front of that new shirt about the location of where the old-fashioned stiff bosoms ust to terminate.

You’re the best man we’ve got on a chase. Don’t hesitate to shoot I Come along, the rest of you!" Together we rushed up the path, Ashton ahead and my chief and I just behind him. BuL with all our haste, w^,ascended the steps and crossed the wooden veranda silently. The front door was not even latched. It swung back with a light push, and we were inside. “I'll go to the kitchen," Ashton said, "and cover the back stairs, and work up from there.

Phelps, guard the head of the front stairs. I’ll guard die back and the doctor can search the rooms." Carefully as he searched, we drew blank again. "All right," Ashton whispered.

I told him to shooL and be would. Come along! Follow me." The study door was closed, but we could see the light shining out from under 11 Ashton flung open the door But from that silent room there never same a sound. . We waited u mometiL Then, breath lessly and cautiously, we entered. The room was empty. For a moment we stared biankh Into each other's faces. Then a grim, full-mouthed laugh' from the doctor shattered the strained silence. He clutched Ashton’s arm and pointed. "Look ! Look there!" On the floor, beside the swivel chair, half under the desk, was a great caped-ulster and a bat, a bundle of bed clothes, a bolster and a small pil­ low. . “There!" cried (he doctor; "there Iles the shadow of our good " friend Wilkins, but it looks as if his sub stance had escaped us.” "But the thing moved," 1 cried— "the shadow did, at any rate—moved ind disappeared.** The doctor stooped and lifted up the empty sleeve of the big ulster. There was a string tied around the sleeve a string that led up through an empty stove-pipe bole and out In the corridor. We went out to see what the other end of it was attached to. and found that it was made fast to a bell wire, in such a way as not. probably, to Interfere with the ringing of the bell. Ws gazed at the thing curiously and, for the moment, wfthout compre bending. Then the doctor hit upon a solution, which we afterward found to be the true one. It was pimple. "Like al) great ideas," said he ’The first thing Wil­ kins did was to make fast a string be tween the gate and the old-fashioned bell pull in the front doorway. In that way he assured himself of getting a warning when your detectives re turned from the fire. It wouldn’t al low him much leeway, but he undoubt edly calculated that It would be enough. When this house was in it* prime this third floor room served, no doubt, as quarters for a oervanL and it was natural that one of the bells should ring up here. The thought oi the dummy bad probably occurred tu him Id advance, and it was a good thought. His chance of escaping your two men, when they returned, would be vastly greater if they should rush Into the house with no other Idea than that an intruder was sitting in Henry Morgan’s study, leaning over Henry Morgan’s de»k. “But the notion of connecting tire dummy with the boll wire, and bal anclng It so that tire slightest puli would cause it to move toward the light, and then disappear, must have been the Inspiration of the tnomeuL" “WeU, ha’s gone," said Ashton, "and he's probably got the map, though ti you know where you left It. you'd bei I pulled open the drawer where we bad placed it, end glanced inside.

"We’ve lost him, I tell you." said Ashton. "Can": you understand plain English?" We all halted Just then, and started, a little expectant.

But the silence and the dismayed astonishment on our faces, gave the man bis answer. “So you went to the fire, did youT’ said the doctor grimly. "Not for more than five minutes.*’1 the man protested. “I thought I’d see if I could be of any help—" The man's explanation trailed of! volubly—protesting. Incoherent, but we paid very little attention to it We• knew what had happened, all too well. "WeU." said the doctor, “If Wilkinsi only appreciated the fact he owes us। a large debt of gratitude. We told him about the map; and then we brought the girl out to him, and left her. together with an automobile for him to disappear in." “He’s better not try to thank me," said Ashton grimly, “until the score Isi settled.

Ashton turned away impatiently. “But the car!" the chauffeur cried "I’m responsible fpr it What am 1I to dor Ashton told him what be might do. In three or foar short, explosive words CHAPTER XI The doctor's prediction regardinc the escape of Wilkins and the girl came true. It was all of twenty-four hours before the wires were working again; and the search, which could not fairly begin until that time, proved absolutely futile. The automobile was found next day, very early In the morning, standing in front of the Western station, the very place where we bad started In it on our ride to Oak Ridge. But the oddly assorted pair, who must have driven back to town in it that nlgbL disappeared ar completely as if the earth bad swat lowed them up. It was a long while before Ashton would admit the probability, or even the possibility, that he bad lost them Their escape must have rankled, for he never, voluntarily, spoke of the Oak Ridge affair, and he treated all reference to it, however indirect. Id a manner which did not encourage dis cuss! on. I think that, in bis heart, Doctoi McAlister found it impossible to be sorry that Wilkins had got off. It is one thing to know, as a matter of fact that a man is a knave and that he richly deserves to be hung; out it Is another thing to wish, devoutly, for such a consummation. We bad liked Wilkins, and the strange, uncannj revelations regarding bis past, which the doctor’s merciless instruments had betrayed to us. were not strong enougi to change that liking. What we regretted most. In our di* cussions over the affair, was our frag meutary knowledge of 11 One tbinp certain about it all seemed to be that we should never know. But Id that conclusion, strangely enough we were wrong. Only a few days ago (and It is now more than two years since tlte events 1 have here chronicled took place) the doctor came Into my office waving a letter.

Now that I am, in a sort, king here—trusting that you will pardon the liberty, sirend obliged to make all the laws as well as enforce them, I am filled with regret for my former Irregularities, though 1 may say that they have turned out well in the end.

Circum­ stances may have Justified him in kill­ ing Captain Franklin; indeed, there is no doubt that it bad to be one or the other of them; and in robbing him of his money and his map, be only did what others, perhaps, would have done in his place. But he did an Inexcus­ able thing, when he lodged an Infor­ mation with the authorities against the rest of us. The act was not neces­ sary to bls escape, for he could have got off scotfree anyway. But he wanted Franklin’s treasure all to him­ self, and be thought if he could get us ail hanged there would be none to dispute it with him. I found out in time what be bad (lune, and I escaped; but the other poor fellows were caught and paid the penalty of their faith in a traitor. "I went to America, but not in pur­ suit of Morgan. 1 did not know that be had gone there, and I wanted noth­ Ing more to do with him anyway, ns I had decided to settle down and lead a respectable life. It pays just as well as the other and it’s much more comfortable. This may surprise you, but It’s true—I do not refer to the tips I earned as head waiter at The Meredith. That was not my trade so much as it was my recreation. In my youth I made the acquaintance of a palm reader and spiritualist, and this was the profession I took upon coining to your city. It was not long before I was able to organize this industry and to hire others to do the actual work. I supervised it all, and as head waiter at The Meredith. I was able to learn much about our smart people, which could be told to them again by palmists and mediums. with very good effect “It was In tlds connection that 1 became acquainted with Jane Perkins. A medium I employed, whose apartment was not far from The Meredith, discovered her. and was using her trance states very effectively as a control. I got the greatest surprise of my life the first time I ever heard her talking Maori, a language which I un derstand and .speak, as I suspect that you do also. From her talk I disco v ered that she was my old captain's daughter, and that she had Inherited his secreL This was corning rather too close to home for comfort,, as you will well understand, so I took her out of the spiritualist business, much as I regretted to do so, for she was very valuable, and got her employed as chambermaid at The Meredith. “We were out walking together one day when her subjective state came over her without warning. She darted ahead of me, and I saw that she was tracking some one through the streets, by the scenL I followed her. Luckily It was dark, and we were not molested. She traveled very fast and overtook the person she was following, just as be was entering the Western station. I caught one look at him and saw that be was Henry Morgan. “I succeeded In rousing her out of her state, for I did not want anything to happen Just then and there. But 1 was determined to find where be lived and to get his map away from him. It did him no good, as there was neither latitude and longitude marked upon II and this was the secret which Fanennn had told me. "On the night when the unfortunate incident occurred which caused you and Mr. Ashton to Interest yourselves In the case, we had gone out to Oak Ridge to make an attempt to secure the map. Nothing more than that, J assure you, sir. I had hypnotized her In order that she might lead me. by means of her extraordinary sense of smell, to the bouse where be-lived, but she ran on ahead too fast for me to follow her. The crime was already committed. If you can call it a crime before I reached the house. “I tried to get her to go home with me, making no attempt to find the map at that time, but she was greatlyexcited and dangerous. So I was obliged to go away without her. 1 was unable to find her from that time, until she came back to The Meredith of her own accord, the day after she made her second visit to the Morgan boose at the time when you were there. “It was during my absence from the hotel, and without my knowledge, that she answered the advertisement for the cloak, Indeed, I did not know that she had done so, until you spoke to me concerning it that night at dinner.

I said just now that Fanenna did not know that she bad killed old Morgan, and yet she is Fanenna rather than Jane Perkins, al­ though she Is not exactly either one of them. She Is no longer subject to those trance states of hers, and her character seems tu be a mixture of the two distinct persons which she was before that night when you took her out to Oak Ridge with you. Her mem­ ories of all her past are, I am thank- 1 ful to say. extremely vague, though she remembers some things out of both of them.

Mohler, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States, Department of Agriculture. It is desirable to keep floors of dairy barns as dean as possible. No washing process should be prac­ ticed that leaves the floors wet all the time. This, condition is un­ healthful. It should be remember­ ed that floors will not dry as quickly in cold weather as in warm weather, and the cows should not be made to lie on a wet floor, even though heavily bedded. Giving various privileges on the farm, including allowances of farm products, in addition to wages, is an important means of attracting and holding good larm hands, says the United Statee Department of Agri­ culture. These things if bought at city prices would cost more than dou­ ble their farm value. Working men not on farms would more often con­ sider farm work as an occupation If they knew what perquisites and con­ sequent savings in expenses were off­ ered in addition to wages. Not only are there insects to fight, but there are the nemas. Nemas are eelshaped animals such as roundworms. They vary in size from one two-hundredth of an inch long to several feet long. They are responefble for some of the worst and most destructive diseases of plants and animals. They cause billions of dollars worth *of damage each year. Dr. N.

There’s a reason why we sell the best Cheese —there’s a reason why people like our Coffee —there’s a reason why our Peanuts are al­ ways fresh—there’s reason in all things, but there’s no reason why people should trade with anyone but the home stores, and there is no reason why people should not trade where they can get the best goods tor fair prices.

Quick &, Bean Phone 94 Fresh Roasted Coffee THE DOER OF DEEDS By EVELYN GAGE BROWNE T ISN’T the man who tells you How everything should be done; IWho points out this one’s failures, And jibes at everyone. Who boasts how he'd have done It, And criticizes the way. The Doer of Deeds Is wording— Who counts tn the world today. It's the man who's In the struggle, Whose face Is grimed and worn. Who keeps on fighting bravely. Though battle-scarred and torn. He may fall—but gets up gamely. And. striving, never heeds. The ones who sneer and slander. But dares to do the deeds. He gives himself, unsparing, And never counts the cost; But knows the joy of fighting, Although his cause is lost To him uelongs the credit. And the victor's laurels, too; For the world today Is needing the oldest tradition In the world Is the one that describe* ABOUT the “race of men” as the logical sex The masculine human being Is con vlnced that he solves his problems by On the-other hand, he Is convinced that the female of the species Is sim­ ply guided by instinct. This is in spite of the fact that all over the world. from China to Peru. . when It comes to the question of feminism, the men lay down a gen­ eral proposition and then proceed to evade IL In a word, women and men are "equal." But man’s prejudices must not be Interfered with. He still re­ serves to himself the right to protect and regulate the other half ot humanity. Women have the right to vote elections all over the continent ot North America. They may be admit­ ted to the bar and plead before the courts. But the question whether or not they should be allowed to sit on juries is not yet settled In most of the states. Various reasons are given by those who oppose the change. When it Is examined the opposi­ tion Is found to be based on the the­ ory that the gentle sex must be regu lated as it has been In the past An interesting example of mascu­ line logic is supplied by the Ger­ man republic. In the constitution of that state It Is provided explicitly that men and women have the same rights and, apart from fighting, must perform the same duties. Tet when the proposal t0 make women eligible for jury duty came up before the federal council In the form of the proposed draft of a law. It was negatived. The explanation given by Herr Von Preger, the Bavarian representative, ought to be framed and hung up in every woman’s club In the world as an example of how not to reason. "The Bavarian government," he said, "maintains the principal stand point that women are not suited to judicial office. The admission of wow un would result In a softening of Jus tlce, which is most undesirable Jusi at this time."

This is a call placed for a specified person and is the kind of call to make when you want to talk to someone in particular and you are not reasonably sure that person will answer the telephone or can be called to it quickly. A Person-toPerson call costs the same at all hours. 2—Station-to-Station. This is a call placed for a certain telephone number and is the land of call to make when you are reasonably certain that the person with whom you wish to talk will answer the tele­ phone or can be called to it quickly. Station-to-Station calls cost appreciably less than Person-to-Person calls, and offer re­ duced Evening rates, from 7:00 pjn. to 830 pun., and further reduced Night rates, from 830 p.tn. to 430 a.m. There is no change of rates at midnight. It helps speed the connection if you give the Long Distance operator the number of the distant telephone, when making a Station-to-Station call, hot it is not necessary to give it. If you do not know the number, tell the opera­ tor, for instance, that you are calling the office or home of “Mr. John Smith, 350 Sayre Street, Lansing, Michigan;” she will then connect you with the called telephone and give you the number for future use.

But she let her­ self be persuaded to help a bit by re­ porting to him over the telephone whenever she found things he might buy to his advantage. Thus they came to have a loose-woven comradery. never guessing its strength until Oc­ tober. The break might not have come even then but for Jinny, who upon dis­ covery that her sometime husband was real sure-enough dead and properly burled, said airly, "So now I’m gwine marry dat Jim Baxter who's been pes­ tering me so long. So we'll hab ter dissolve dis yere partnership." At that Peggy laughed hard—then with Jinny away sighed even harder. She had made money band over hand —but oh, she was tired. Upon this mood of discouragement in walked Sidney Bruce, Esquire, armed with double determination, a string of pearls and a platinum ring no normal woman could possibly resist. Peggy, being strictly normal, did not try to resist. Instead she slid the circlet upon its proper finger deftly, twirled it about, flashed It in autumn sunshine, then said with her trickiest smile: “if I milk another month, 1 shan't be able to get It on.” And she laid the pearls against her lips. Sidney looked aggrieved. “I call that wicked waste,” be said stiffly. Peggy fifgled. saying demurely: "1 don't let things I want go to waste."

Don't evade your spotlight. Be ready tor ft. Have something interacting to tell. Then tell only part. Be a genuine fan or someFords or fish, or folks or ferns, fine arts or fine cheese. Have some­ thing worth talking about; learn to tell it ’ enticingly; don't tell too much or talk too often; letjthem come to you; they will—then don’t evade your spotlight. Do your turn and take your bow. 2. Own something that grows, or, the next best thing, pretend you own it. A garden, a company, a bank ac­ count, a library, a dog in which you take great Interest. Something liv­ ing, vital, something that you can grow with. Beat of all a boy or a girl, or a protege. The’ biggest thrill you’ll ever get will come when that something wins a bout. 3. Seek high adventure. Do some unusual things, such as compli­ menting folks and other things which are seldom appreciated, finding new and unusual applications for ideas and things,, learning new and inter­ esting ways home, and how to say "Howdy" In steen different languag­ es. Be a detective and answer some why’s, a cavalier who mysteriously creates good luck for folks. Travel with an armchair and a book. Have some love affairs with heroines of history, with Ideals quite quixotic. Seek secret high adventure la an or­ dinary day. You may find it In a ledger, a school book, in a prospect, In a shipment, or In a file. ing romance from the pen of Helen R. Martin, author of "The Snob," and "Ye That Judge." We think that you will, really en­ joy "Sylvia of the Minute.” There is a dramatic simplicity about this vivid and Intense human story, with its genuine humor and pathos; a story which follows the.same general trend of thought; of "The Snob," and other highly successful novels by this author. It te an idyl of the Pennsylvania Dutch In which one of the daughters upsets conventions. In doing so she takes a snob into camp and causes much discomfort among the prideful and highly placed. Sylvia is one of the most charming of Mrs. Mar­ tin’s many engaging heroines, and the story Ss one of her best novels. Don’t fail to read the opening in­ stallment In. this issue.

The letter fol­ lows: “I sure had a wonderful time on my trip east. First we went to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and then up in Canada along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Niagara Falls are very beautiful. We stopped at Kingston, Canada, the second night, and the third night in Montreal. Montreal is a very beautiful city; the population is more than one mil­ lion. From there we went to Quebec; I like Quebec best of ail. Nearly ev­ eryone is French there; they only have one American newspaper. Farm land is not very good, but there are plenty of forests. We left Quebec for the U. 8., and came, down to Maine over the mountains and pine forests. We stayed in Portland, Maine, one night, the first time on the Atlantic coast, and then left tor Boston. Boston is very pretty, and there are a lot of places to visit that are of historical interest. Through the battlefields and old places, down to the fish docks, and through the con^ mons and market districts. Next was New York; stayed there three days. We drove all around and rode quite a bit ufl the subways; took a ferry to the Statue of Liber­ ty; walked up Broadway, and went up in the Woolworth Building1—it’s only 700 feet high. We went through Chinatown and ate at a Chinese place there; also went to Coney Island, and in bathing. The water is very salty in the ocean. Next we went through Philadel­ phia—saw the old Liberty bell, largest navy yards In the U. S., and out to where the Sequi-oentennial waa held. Then we went through Baltimore and. over to Washington, staying a little more than two days. Washington is the most beautiful city I ever saw. We roomed just around the block from the White House, and went through the Capi­ tol building; up Id Washington’s monument; cut to Arlington, and drove to Mt. Vernon In Virginia, to Washington's old home along the Potomac river. I had an airplane ride In Washington—we flew over the city and H was a fine ride. I’d Hke to fly across the ocean. We left Washington Sunday momIng and got in Mansfield about mid­ night, stopping at Gettysburg and Pittsburg on the way beck. We crossed the Blue Ridge and Alle­ gheny mountains coming home. We went through 13 state* in the United States and two In Canada, and it sure was a wonderful trip, only It didn't lost long enough.” SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

And steam does push an engine; Electric current cooks your meals, The radio gives music; Or runs the washer, or machine, Electric fan or sweeper. Who’ll harness the terrific gale Pr tame its freakish antics, Or follow where it takes the lead. Or change its course triumphant? Who’ll ride a star? Or make it pale As in its course it's moving; Or sidetrack one wee little star. Or loose it from it* moorings? The greater height, or depth, or power. The greater is our chagrin.

Establish a certain nighf of the week as Telephone Home Night, where they can place a call for the home telephone number. Such a call is known as a Station-toStation call, and costs appreciably less than a call placed for a Particular Per­ son. It is the kind of call to make when you are reasonably certain the person to whom you wish to talk will answer the telephone or can be called to it quickly. In placing a Station-to-Station call, if you do not know the number, say to theLong Distance Operator, for instance, “I want Mr. John Smith's residence, 250 Sayre Street, Lansing, Michigan.” Be sure that you do not specify to the operator that she call any particular person. A call placed for a particular Peraon call, and costs more than a Station-to-Station rail. There are reduced Evening rates on Station-to-Station calls, from 7:00 p. m. to 8:30 p. m., with further reduction during the Night rate period, 8:30 p. m. to 4:30 a. m. tells the story NORTH CASTLETON By Mre.

Thirty-one pens of ten birds each, have crossed the 2.DOO egg mark in the fifth annual international egg laying contest at the Michigan State College, as the contest enters the fin­ al month. Production has increased substantially this year over last year's records, and it is expected that the average at the end of the 51 week® will be well over 190 eggs per ten for the entire contest. Michigan owned pens lead in two of the three largest classes. A pen of ten Barred Rocks owned bjr F. E. Fogle, of Okemos, Mich., leads this class with a total production of 2, 030 eggs. Harry Burns, of Mlllington, Michigan, ownA the pen of White Leghorns which leads Lhiw class, as well as the entire contest, with a to­ tal production of 2,375 eggs. The race is still close in the White lx-ghorn class, with the interest cen­ tered on jhe three leading pen®. Ten birds owned by F. G. DeWitt, of Grand Blanc, Mich., are in second place with 2.340 eggs, followed by the pen owned by Marshall Farm®, of Mobile, Alabama, with a total of 2,331 eggs. Egg weight requirements were added to t^e rules of the contest this year. This requirement, in some instance®, is responsible for the number of accepted eggs being smaller than the total. Eggs weigh­ ing 18 ounces or more were accepted, until Jan. 1 The requirement after . Jan. 1 was 20 ounces. 1LAM/Y DAY Sunday.

Thursday Morning. Sep­ tember 22. The sad news of tihe sadden pass­ ing away of Mr.. Forrest Evcrta reached Nashville early Thursday mornuig of litst week, the cause of death being heart trouble.-. Mrs. Everts was the oldest daughter of Mrs. Henrietta Deller of this place, and the greater part of ‘her life wa® lived in Nashville. Mrs. Everts had been in poor beaRh for several years, being a sufferer with asthma, but for some time past had seemed to im­ prove in health and her death came as a very unexpected and severe shock to the family and her many friends. Sirs. Everts was a very estimable woman and dearly loved and highly respected by those who know her. She was of a sunny disposition and waa a patient sufferer.' During her early life in Nashville she attended our public schools. On May 14, 1910, Mie was united in marriage to Forrest Everts. Af­ ter marriage Mr. and Mrs. Everts took up their residence on a farm at Stony Point, where they continu­ ed to Itve for several years. Four years ago the family moved to Charlotte, and for the past few months owned and conducted a res­ taurant opposite the Michigan Cen­ tral depot on Main street. The deceased 'leaves to* _____ mourn their loss, besides the husband and two sons1,’ John and Charles, the mother, Mrs. Henrietta Deller, three aisters, Mrs. Goldaih Packard and Mrs. Hugh Green of Charlotte and Mrs. Bertine Frlckor of Detroit, be­ sides many other relatives and a large circle of friend?. The remains were brought to Nashville Saturday afternoon and in­ terment made In Lakeview cemetery. Funeral services were held from the Nashville Baptist church and were conducted by a minister from Char­ lotte. . Mrs. Everts was 35 years 7 month® and 16 days of age at the time of her death.

By Edson R. Waite. Nate Otterbein, editor of the Klamath Falta (Oregon) News, says: That if you would only count your blessings you would have no room for a grouch. Our standard of living in this gol­ den age is so far ahead of the "good old days” and our numerous improve­ ments and inventions have made such a difference in the mode of life, that one has only to "Stop and Think” to realize that it must be a warped na­ ture, indeed, that can find room for discontent. Tune tn on the radio after dinner and listen in on the doings of the world seated in your "comfy" chair; call up the folks' across the continent and learn how things are with them; bring out the car and visit the neigh­ bors anywhere within thirty miles, spend a pleasant hour or two and return home by bedtime. Imagine a mother of olden days having time to care for her home and belong to society clubs, library clubs and card clubs, as does her successor of today, and still have time to keep her home in first-class shape with her modern implements, neat and shining, for father's pleasure. Count yonr blessings and you’ll never grouch! A Few Decades Ago. I remember, I remember The days that used to be. When porterhouse was eighteen cents, And soup bones given free; When milk was five cents by the quart «« And butter twenty-four And bacon fifteen cents a pound In those brave days of yore. I remember, I remember When one could hire a maid For three or four or five a week And when she came, she etoyed. But now they are a haughty clan Who cost you eight or nine Who come to you at ten o’clock And then at noon—resign. I remember, I remember When gentle working men Would come whene’er you asked them to’ For life was simpler then, But now, although your pipes are burst And troubles leave you vexed You cannot get a bit of help Until week after next. I remember, 1 remember (Oh why must visions fade) When there was sugar sold to all And coal men sought your trade, But now the times are altered And there is little joy In thinking of how cheap things were When I was but a boy!

A very happy group of women gathered at the Community House Tuesday evening, Oct. 4th, for the opening meeting of another year of the Woman’s Literary Club. Soon after six o’clock, with Mrs. Edmonds at the piano, about sixty members found their places at the prettily decorated tables, which the commit­ tee had worked very hard to make attractive. After singing “Blessed Be the Tie That Binds." oil did jus­ tice to the following menu: fruit cocktail, escalloped potatoes, chicken ■patties, buttered beets, rolls, jelly, vegetable salad, pumpkin pie and coffee. The dinner was prepared and served by .Division No. 1, every member of which Is certainly pro­ ficient in the culinary art. Then followed the splendid pro­ gram. Mrs. Mattle Quick was chairman for the occasion. The club sang "America.” Mrs. Cecile Betts in her very skillful man­ ner rendered two piano solos. Mrs. Quick then introduced lhe president, Aire. Vance, who in a few well chos­ en words gave "Greetings" to the club and made some very timely sug­ gestions for the coming year in club work. The History of the Club was given by Mrs, Edna Furniss. It was in­ teresting and full of reminiscences which brought smiles to many faces. Mrs. Mae Rothhaar took us down the years to 1947, and read a letter to her daughter, telling many things that had occurred since 1927. Some of her prophecies we expect will come true, and some we hope will not. Be that as it may, her paper was full of humor, and enjoyed by all. Mrs. Burch, Mrs. Doyle and Miss Doyle of Hastings were ftur guests. All listened very intently while Mrs. Burch sang Trotsky's "Good By” and "When You Came.” The aud­ ience simply would not be satisfied with only two numbers, and she graciously responded by singing • I’ve Done My Work.” She has a very pleasing voice and charming manner. She was accompanied by Mrs. Doyle. Mm. Quick then outlined the work for the coming year, and made some explanations of the club hook as to what was expected from them on the programs. Mrs. Edmonds sang very sweetly •The Angelas.” The hearty encore she received was responded to with ■•Love Leads the Way." Elizabeth Gibson was her accompanist. Mrs. Quick in behalf of the club then presented a little gift to show our appreciation in a small way to the guests who so kindly gave of their time and talents to assist in adding much to the pleasure of the program. If this is a sample of the programs that are to follow, they will be just a little bit of "all right." and it will be worth every member’s time to put forth a little extra effort to be present. SCOUT NOTES. The Boy Scouts are getting a start for another year by securing a new charter and additional supplies. The first meeting was held at the school house with eighteen scouts present. On Saturday, September 24, the Nashville troop visited the capitol of the state, went through some of I^ansing’s large stores, and then after dinner drove out to Michigan State College where they enjoyed a visit to the various build­ ings and at three o'clock joined several hundred other Michigan Boy Scouts as guests of the College at the Michigan State vs. Kalamazoo foot ball game. Between the halves of lhe game there was a boy scout parade and the Nashville Scouts were a real credit to their community. The boys reached home about nine o’clock. This year the troop committee consists of Carl Tuttle, Von Furntos, C. L. Glasgow and E. L. BchanzL The Court of Honor to made up of H. H. Church, Hale Sackett, Gerritt Vandenberg, Alden Struble and E. E. Devereaux. The object of the Court of Honor is to examine boys for merit badges. When a boy has earned 21 merit badges he becomes an eagle scout and the eagle scout rank 1b a real honor. In the history of scouting there to no rec­ ord of an eagle scout ever being con­ victed of crime, but there are many records of eagle scouts reaching high stations in life. The Scout officers are Voyle Var­ ney—JynioT Assistant Soulmaster; Harold Gibson—Assistant Treasur­ er; Aubrey Frances—Scribe. The troop consists of Roger Sack­ ett, Glenard Showalter, Ned Tleche, Douglas DeCamp, Donald Potter, Ralph McNttt, Wayne Mayo, Harold Gibson, Kenneth Dean, Gordon Bera, Hinman Sackett. Voyle Varney, Gordon Wright, Edison Baas, Au­ brey Francis, Von Rasey, Lewis Bai­ ley, Joel Hummel. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IN YOUR CRITICISMS.

COURSES HELP SOLVE EVERY DAY PROBLEMS. Principles Tnught Are Selected for Usefulness in Daily Lift. Short courses are becoming more and more popular with people who. are engaged during the greater part .of the year with the practical appli­ cation of the principles taught, ac­ cording to an announcement of the director of short courses at Michi­ gan State College. Every effort is made to have the courses at Michigan state cover the latest developments in each of the fields in which courses are offered. The instructors are often men, as in the floricultural course, that are per­ suaded to teach in the close room the methods that have enabled them to build up a suoceesful business. The sixteen-weeks course in gen­ eral agriculture begins October 24. Those enrolling in this section are given training In many lines of farm work. The eight-weeks courses are planed to give Intensive Infor­ mation upon one subject. Most of the 503 students who were enrolled In short courses last year were residents of Michigan that could leave thedr business for only a brief period. Creamery managers, greenhouse owners, neekeepers, and hatcherymen as well as farmers find that a period spent in classes has a direct commercial value. FEIGHNER P. T. A. The first meeting of the P. T. A. will be held Friday, October 7, at the school bouse. A pot luck sup­ per will be served. Please bring sandwiches and one other ddsh; also •bring dishes far serving your fami­ ly.

The Smith Silo SPECIALS Do not think that because a man accepts your criticism he really thinks your judgment better than his. He accepts it. perhaps, because you are his boss or because he would rather endure your wrong judgment than to waste his time tn argument Disraeli, earl of Beaconsfield, who had his full share of criticism, said: “It Is much easier to be Critical than to be correct” Socrates, when he was told by the Delphic oracle that be was the wisest man in all Greece, which was un­ doubtedly true, replied: "Tla because that I alone of all the Greeks know that I know, nothing." To criticise that which you yourself eannot equal Is Impudence.

From the forbidding scowl . on hla usually to serene, handsome face, it was (ibviousiy anger that was driving him along the street. Anger wus right! He was furious at himself— at his fiancee. Dorothy Wainright— and more especially at his future mother-in-law. Tired out from * bard day at the office and looking forward to a pleasant restful evening, be had found Dorothy with her blue eye* still dewy from recently shed tear*. “Dearest, what's the matter?" he asked, kissing her eyelid* gently. "Oh, Bob, lt’« mother,” she walled. “I’m so worried about her." “I* she worse?” “N-no, but she Isn’t getting strong as she should and the doctor said today she needed a complete change. “Haven't you—iiave you enough money to manage it?” In reply Dorothy only burst into tears. Hl* brain was working rapidly us he comforted her. He had had no Idea that his fiancee and her mother were in such straitened circum­ stances. “Sh-hhh, dearest. We must do something. Don’t 'cry. It breaks my heart. I can't bear to see you so miserable. Of course we can’t let her stay here If there's any danger—to her health. But, oh, Dorothy darling, I haven't saved a cent toward our lit­ tle home yet. Lord knows where the money goes, and this will mean that I’ll have to wait tiiut much longer for you." “Bob, would you really be willing to help? You're an angel—you're loo good!” She waa clinging to him now in an ecstasy of joy. A little sigh escaped her, a sigh of sheer relief. • “I’ve been bo worried. If 1 could only get uul mid work, it would be different, but that would mean hiring u trained nurse and it would cost more In lhe end than. I could ever earn. I'm no good." "Hush, Dorothy, don't let me bear yon suy that again. But this is sort of a blow. How much will it take?" “If only she could go alone, but there'll be two of us, you see." “You are going uwuy to leave me? And I’m supposed to put up the mon­ ey to send you oE—to take you away from me?" he asked stunned. It was the first time he had really taken in the situation. “Well, dearest, it’ll, only be a few months and 1’11 write every day and besides it’ll be just as hard on uie. One good thing, you won't have me near to spend so much money on allg the time In your deur generous way, ten dollars for one evening's enter­ tainment and flowers or candy every day. It’s ridiculous!" “But I love to spend it on you. You don't seem to understand,'' he said, his voice breaking. “I can't let you go, Dorothy. It's asking too much." When he left that evening and went furiously down the street it hud all been settled. He was to send on every cent be could and they would try to make out on it. He laughed harshly as the irony of the situation came more and more clearly to him. He was to work and deny himself every little comfort in order to keep his fiancee away from him. The following Saturday he stood under the trainshed and watched the limited crawl out of the station with Dorothy and her mctbijr on board. Then he hurried back to the office and worked over a plan for increasing his sales so that his commissions would help meet the added expense. He would not have bis future mother-in­ law thteklng he wasn’t able to pro­ vide, so he worked night and day until he could double the amount Dorothy bad said they would need. At last a bright spring day brought them back again. “I can’t believe you’re here," he said at the train. "Let’s take your mother boms, then have a little ’spin.” Out on the highway -together at last. Dorothy said excitedly: “Bob, darling, will you be very mad if I tell you something?** “Good Lord," he thought, "I guess she wants to take her mother to Eu­ rope tills time," but he merely an­ swered: “You couldn't make me mad if you tired, dearest." She took a slip uf paper out of her bag and held it toward him. “A certified check for &200!” he exclaimed. “Dorothy, bow’d you make it? Real estate?" “I didn't You did,” she laughed. "You see. Bob, I thought you were spending too much and hadn't saved a rent tn the sir months we d been engaged, so I—practiced a little de­ ception by pretending we needed Uie money.

Practicing Olean-Up Mcuburcs This Fall Gives Corn Pear 811m Chance of Surviving Winter. The fall is the time to combat the State College shrdl cmfwyp mfwyp European corn borer, Michigan State College epecialiste advise. By de­ stroying the pest's winter home now, its chances of survival are practical­ ly nil, and usual farm operations will not be interfered with in the spring by clean-up work. The corn borer winters over in stalks and weeds. Sealed up in its pithy palace, the pest Is as comfort­ able as the Czar was once In Rus­ sian snows. By practicing control measures thte fall, however, large numbers of the pest will be des-troyed, while those which escape the clean-up will perish for want of suitable shelter. Low-cutting of the corn crop, within two inches of the ground, fa the first control step, the specialists say. The stalks should then be put in the silo or finely shredded. The action of the silage acids kills the borers while experiments have shown that shredding, with the rollers tightly set, destroys 98 per cent of the borers. On fields where low-cutting te not practicable, the remaining stubble should either be plowed under or pulverised with a stubble beater. According to State regulations, email grains should not be seeded in corn stubble which has not been That the borer te In for a hard winter te evidenced by the aJean-up work which farmers are doing.

I JUST DONE ITI” □lim'ARV Francis Edwin Higdon, son of John and Jeesrie Higdon, was born at Barryville, Barry County. Michigan, January 19th, 1906 and died at Stuart, Florida, October 6th, 1927, at the age of twenty one years, eight months and seventeen days. Whan three weeks old his parents moved to'Hastings where they lived for eight yeare: the family then re­ turned to Barryville, where they have since made their home. Francis attended the Barryville school and afterward the Nash rille high school from which he graduated with the class of 1924. He then at­ tended one year at Michigan State college, and another at Argubright's Business College at Battle Creek. Before be had completed his full course he was offered a position with the Seminole Bank of Stuart, Florida, where his brother Alfred was employed. He leaves to mourn their loss, his father and mother, three eistere, Mrs. Elsie Potter of Nashville, Mrs. Grace Brumm of Maple Grove Center and Mrs. Gladys Crockford of Woodland, five brothers.

Nashville members of the Nashville W. C. T. U. are not alone in their’ condemnation in regard to Rev. Hough's article, "Why Not a Cath­ olic for President?”. The day has gone wihen the people swallow all of what the preachers .say from their pulpits, and ell the editors write in their religious papers. An arti­ cle under religious news in thet Evangelical Messenger, reads like this; Jimmie Walker goes to Europe to see the Pope, and the Pope expreenee his gratification at his being the greatest magistrate over so great a city, New York. When everybody knows that Jimmie Walker, Mayor of New York, is the wettest of the wet. and New-York Otty is the wett­ est cky in the United States today. (Sounds os though It was an adver­ tisement for the wets.) Such an ar­ ticle In a protestant religious paper would seem entirely out of place. We, the W. G. T.

This practice of divination by books Is said to have "originated in the re­ spect and veneration of certain books arising from their wisdom and repu­ tation"; and it is easy to comprehend the psychology which induced the peo­ ple of tbe Middle ages to consult “Vir­ gil the Wizard” and leads men of a superstitious trend of mind today to turn the Bible into an oracle. But the inclplency of. the Idea dates back to the first introduction of letters when, to the common mind, there was some­ thing supernatural In the power of a few marks made in a certain way to convey from one person to another not merely ideas but whole speeches, word fur word; a feeling which is displayed today by remote tribes of savages when they see, for the first time, the use of the printed or written word In communications. <THE WHY of SUPERSTITIONS By H. 1RVINQ KINQ DIVINING BY BOOKS A RATHER common practice with those who “seek for a sign” Is to bpen the Bible at random and find their answer In tbe passage upon which their thumb rests as they part the leavea In pagan times this divi­ nation was accomplished by placing the finger at random on a passage of Homer, Virgil or some other great au­ thor. Virgil was an especial favorite in this connection and the practice of consulting him continued down to modern times, though the Bible is the book generally used. During the Middle ages the historic Virgil became so enveloped Ln a mist of tradition and superstition that he was alluded to by the uneducated as “Virgil the Wizard"; and in tbe unpopular estimation the chief value of the Aeneld was as an oracle.

She ain’t so much, so far forth as I can see," Aunt Rosy frankly stated, "even If she Is high-educated that way." "The only educated young men ’round here is the two Creightons, and to be sure." said Mr. Schwenckton, “they only run with swells." .“Creightons?" repeated Meely In­ quiringly. “Yes. They’re nway-up folks, them Creightons. They’re 'rlstocratics, they are. Grand folks. None better. Even the swells that lives In town ain’t nothin* much to the Creightons— they're got so much, the Creightons has." “’So much'? Money, you mean, of course?" . "To be sure. “Well, I thought you might mean education or brains or even charac­ ter—Interesting things." “Yes. well, they’re got all them things too.” ‘'Have they?" “Ach, yes, they’re wery grand col­ lege-educated that way, them two Creightons. And the younger one. St Croix, he’s wery proud and highminded; wonderful high-minded! Mar­ vin. the older oue, he ain’t so proud. He’s different to what St Croix te." “How te he different?" asked Meely, disguising under an elaborate Indif­ ference her exdted Interest Much aa she had longed to ask questions about the Creightons, she had never dared rtak It so she was elated that with­ out any maneuvering on her part, tbe talk should be taking this Interesting “Well,’' answered Mr. Schwenckton. “Marvin makes bisseif nice and com­ mon with ua folks when we meet up with him; and with his Pop’s miners, too." “But that ain’t sayin’, Meely," spoke tn Aunt Rosy, "that he’d stoop to you. He ain’t that common!" "Isn’t her “Yes. well, but he might stoop even to such as Meely,’’ Mr. Schwenckton speculated, "since his Pop turned him out to earn his own llvln." "Oh! Whyr asked Meely breath­ lessly, off her guard for an Instant In ber surprise and curiosity. -Well, he don’t hold with his Pop about the way their miners Is treated. He puts out that he thinks it’s like Rooeha under the czar. He’s fur treatin’ ’am like Ronsha under the Bolsbeviks. So him and hte Pop they don’t hit It off so wery good. He tol’ hte Pop (so It’r put out) that he couldn’t live on money so earnt So then hte Poo tol’ him to get out and earn hte own livin’ and see how he’d tailed, that way, and Marvin must' ger hte share,. too., til! hte Pop’s deceased a’ready.

Yes; Mar vln he’s an awful worry to hte Ppp!" "And to hte brother, 8L Croix, too. I should think?'* Meely suggested. “Ach. yes. it’s put out that the broth­ ers don’t gel on .good together at all Then there's other troubles, too. be­ tween Maryin and hte Pop—about a second cousin In .England with such a title—a duke-ess or what—that Mar­ vin was to marry and he got balky and wouldn’t do IL It seems be tol* bls Pup he wouldn’t buy bls wife nur he wouldn’t sell hisself fur no titled lady in the world, nor be wouldn’t marry no girl that would sell herself for hte money." “And was he sure," Meely asked, after an Instant’s pause, “that hte English cousin wanted to sell herself?" “Well, that’s the talk. The two families had fixed op the match and Marvin he got balky. And hte Pop was awful peeved, he’d been so set on thte here match. Marvin bein’ the oldest was gave the first chance at thte here grand lady, you see. and wouldn’t take It So now It’s St Croix that’s to marry ber. they aay." “Is fie?" r “So they »y. And 1 guess It’s bet­ ter so. for he’s more suited to such a duke-ess. or what. • Marvin’s too plain a dresser for such a high lady." “And how," asked Meely after an­ other moment’s silence, "does this Marvin earn hte living since he’s been thrown out by his father?" “Yes. you better*ask. Meely! He', your boss! He’s got hlsself elected county superintendent of our public schools!" “What P “Yes. mind If he didn't! So he'll be wlsltln’ at your school one of these here days to see bow you teach oncetI" “Does fie know anything about teaching, himself?" asked Meely akep tlcally. “Well, he’s got a college dlarploma, or what" “And the younger son—St. Croix— he agrees with his father. I suppose, sbout the treatment of the miners?” "Ach, yes, him pnd hte Pop agrees fine. He’s the lawyer for the estate and hte Pop thinks he's tine and sharp. Lizzie." he spoke to hte little daughter, "eat your supper." . “It don’t wonder me she don’t eat," said Aunt Rosy: "her conscience won’t leave her enjoy her wlttles. so bad—" “Be peaceable, Aunt Rosy. You can tell me after supper what you're got to say." The child looked terrified at these ominous words and Meely glanced at her pityingly. For a moment no one spoke and the silence seemed heavy and menacing. “Well," Mr. Schwenckton presently broke it. “I'm done." He pushed away his plate, drew the back of hte hand across hte mouth shoved back his chair and rose. “I’ll go up and see Susie." Aunt Rosy, who was a greedy eater, at once concluded ber own supper with a few hasty mouthfuls and rose to go with him. "Lizzie I" she spoke over her shoulder from the stairway opening out fj-.-m the kitchen, "you get at and clear off the table and do the dishes and then finish up them diapers.” “Yes’m,” answered Lizzie, rising at once and beginning to scrape and col­ lect the plates. A moment later Sammy, a cowed and sullen boy of twelve, skulked into the kitchen, sat down at the table and began hungrily devouring his belated supper. Meely strolled to tbe foot of the stairs and stood listening to the voices In the room above; and .Lizzie, her eyes wide and strained, left the sink and tiptoed across the room to stand at ber aide. “Lizzie she won’t obey to me," Aunt Rosy’s complaining voice came down from the sick room. “I can't do nothin’ with ber.

WHY IS IT— I nmiilllllllllllllilllllllllHIIIllillllllllllllH When you get to know u fellow, know >x»0 joys and know hie carve; When you've come to understand him ano the burden that be bears. When you've learned the light he's making and the troubles In his way. Then, you find that he is different than you thought him yesterday. You find bis faults are trivial and there’s not so much to blame ’ in the fellow that you jeered at when you only knew his name. You are quick to' see the bletoish Ln the distant neighbor's atyle. You can point to all his errors and may sneer at him ihe while, And your prejudices fatten and your bates more violent grow. As you talk about the failure® of the man you do not know. But when drawn a little closer, and your hands and shoulders touch, You find the traits you hated really don't amount to much. When next you start In sneering and your phrases turn to blame. Know more of him you censure than his business and his name, For it’s likely that acquaintance -would your prejudice dispel. And you’d really come to like him if you knew him very well. When you get to know a fellow and you understand his ways. Then this faults won’t really matter, for you’ll find d lot to praise. 1012. Lilah Bahs, Amos B. Hinckley. Bertha Huwe, Mae Rothaar.

There is pa old belief that tn scar­ let fever the most dangerous period for ■passing the diaease to others is during the -time when the skin is peeilAc. That is not strictly true. Scarlet fever can be given to others at afiy time from the moment the nose begins to run (before the diag­ nosis is made) until after all symp­ toms have disappeared and the pa­ tient Is apparently perfectly well again. However, the worst period is dur­ ing the hetght of the sscknese when the patient is feverish, his throat sone, his strength at its lowest—the period when the rash makes its to­ tally illusive, its transient, or its prolonged appearance. Measles, on the contrary is mowt infectious to others during die •coming down" stage when the nose and throat symptoms are acute. It can be passed along during the height of tiie disease but when con­ valescence sets in the danger to oth­ ers is practically gone.

SAY’ FARMERS DUE FOR BETTER TIMES. Leader" al M. S. C. Conference Be­ lieve Definite Upward Trend Ha» Been initiated. Agricultural leader^ in close touch with farm conditions corrobo­ rated each other at the annual ex­ tension conference held recently at Michigan State College in the state­ ment that rural economic conditions are on a definite upward trend. Michigan farmers are in the van in this forward movement, accord­ ing to the statement of Dean R. S. Shaw, because these farmers have not confined their efforts to the pro­ duction of any one crop. Both crop and livestock prices show im­ provement. Dean Shaw bel'eves that a com­ parison of the 956 bank failures in the United States last year with the single (allure that occurred In Mich­ igan is proof of the soundnt»e of ec­ onomic conditions in Michigan. Prices for horees, cattle, sheep and bogs show every indication of improvement, according to a state­ ment made at the local conference by Dr. C. E. 1-add, director of exten­ sion. work In New York. Dr. Ladd believes that livestock price- move in cycles up and down, and that the present upward movment will con­ tinue for some time. ■ The New York economist also pre­ dicted that there will be a great in­ crease Ln urban population in cities between Buffalo and Chicago within the next decade, and that Michigan farmers will be called upon to sup­ ply t>h*» milk for these greater cities.

Millie Ffeiry entertained her Millions of housewives know that Pyrex ovenware mean* foods are baked better, more conveniently, and that the ware outlasts other utensils. Pyrex ware also retains heat longer than other utensils, preventing too rapid cooling on the table. Pyrex never loses it* new­ ness, never discolors. And after years of use it shows no trace of wear. It is sparklingly clear, smooth and transparent, and permits baking and serving in the same dish. Is it any wonder that this ware is so popu­ lar with the ladies?

Says Oil Prevents Rain That lack ->f rain is caused by oil film spread on the surface of oceans by rhips that burn oil fuel, is the theory advanced by L. A.

He says that this film, wb^le less than a millionth of an inch thick, may be sufficient to retard the evaporation of ocean water, which Is the chief source W rain.

"how my pbotogrnphs never look like—nev­ er do me justice." she amended her remark. ' ’ Again she found Aunt Rosy’s little cunning eyes boring like gimlets Into hers. CHAPTER III It was at the heavy noon meal ol the next day that Meely for the first time heard Mr. - Sehwenckton break hia own rule against complaining at the table. "Ach. Aunt Rosy. these here files Is somepln awful! Susie shf never baa no files when she house keeps. And thia here’s October yet ' My first wife, neither, she didn’t havt no files. Leastways not In October yet! Why do you so leave the files In? Couldn’t you manage with les> flies?" "It ain’t my fault that there’s flies It's that there fat farm-band of yourn that gives files In fur me. still; fur when he goes out the door, he’s so fat he can’t get out quick and that lets the files In." “You’re always got a good excuse ■dot, Aunt Rosy?" "But 1 don’t see, Blister, why yoi ever got such a fat farm-hand that be gives flies In fur me and th.it he's to< fat to set in your car and drive li fot vou." She diverted the cnnversatlot from fill's. "Yes, It Is some unhandy that m< »nd Absalom’s both too big to drlv» our car easy. Us,’’ smiled the farmer who liked bls little joke. “we golt; set iu the baqk seat and have such c chlffonneer! But. Aunt Rosy, blamln Absalom for these here files—n<That’s goin' too far. I don't give you right. You belter get after these her•lies—’’ "Did Absalom tell you," Aunt Ros llplomatlcally Interrupted, "who hl•omp’ny is that’s wlsltln’ at thel* •lace?’’ This question proved effective i livertlng attention from tire files. "Why, no, be didn’t speak nothii o me that they had comp’ny wlsltln era," said Mr. Sehwenckton. “What makes you conceit that?—that the* have comp’ny?"'. “I seen a strange shirt on theiwash-line this morning that 1 rek ionized wasn’t Absalom’s. 1 didn’t get time to run down and ast Missus whose the strange shirt was—what with all I bad to do and Lizzie not helpin’ aby."' she whined in a tone of deep Injury. "But this after, mebby. I’ll get time to run down." "That’s funny, too, again—that they got a strange shirt bangin’ out and Absalom not sayin’ nothin* tn me about comp’ny." remarked Mr Sehwenckton reflectively. “But couldn’t the 'strange shirt' be a new one of Absalom's?" Meely asked. “No, It ain't Absalom’s size or color." Aunt Rosy pointed out. "Do you know," said Mr. Schwenckton thoughtfully, “what I suspicion about that there strange shirt? I sus pldon they’re got a boarder at Ab •atom's, like us. I guess Marvin Creighton's boardin' with 'em since bls Pop turned him out! For. you see, this here township's very handy in the center of all the schools be has to wislL Yes, I bet you that's whose the strange shirt Is I It’s Man in Creighton's! So then, Meely." he joc ularly added, "you better watch your step, with the school superintendent livin’ right handy here In sight of us! On our own farm yet!" Meely stared blankly for a moment, without comment: then, pulling her­ self together, dropped her eyes to her plate. As Meely remained silent. Aunt Rosy prodded her for an expression of ber sensations at the great news. “I suppose," Meely at last became articulate, “my teaching, when be be holds it, will give him a shock! it's not," she sighed, “according to rule I don't know the rules! I don't know anything about teaching! I do have some Ideas of my own, though—" The sudden realization that she was talking to one of the school trustees brought her to with a jolt “But,",said Mr. Sehwenckton, puz •led, “yen must know how to achool teach when you’re a grad-yate ol Kutztown Normal yet! Well, I guess anyhow I Us we don't elec’ no teacher to our William Penn that ain’t got her Normal school diarplotna." “Ob, yes—well, but—yes. of course.’ Meely concluded In some confusion She glanced surreptitiously at Aunt Rosy—and found, to her discomfort that-she was being regarded with a look of cunning suspicion. “Say!" sudden)) spoke up Rosy “Have you got such a Ku txtown Nor mal school dlarplomn?" “Why—why. of course—why, of course I have." “Mister," she demanded of her brother-in-law. "did you ever see her diarploma?" “Ach, Rosy, what's over you? To be •ore. she had* to send her dlarplomn along with ber application and her photygraft when she wrote for the job bare at oar William Penn. Youi photygraft," he said to Meely, “don't favor you much. You’re a tot prettier fihaa that there photygraft" • I ' ' , i ! I Meely Schwruckr.in seemed to her self, these days. In he ever walking In fear. Yet never In nil her .voting life had she found existence so exhllarnt Ing. so tense with Interesting sus pense. It was not really fear, she decided, only a thrilling apprehension that • hung over her every minute of the day and night: an opprehen slon which even If realized could not really bring harm to her. only awk­ ward embarrassment "But somebody else would feel more awkward and embarrassedI" she smiled to herself However, 'this apprehension, fol­ lowing her ceaselessly, was a bit nerve-racking; and’ the startling knowledge just acquired that Marvin Creighton (her "Steady Date’s" brother!) wood over her as the school superintendent and was therefore hound to make her acquaintance very soon, 'greatly augmented her sense of the danger of ■’her situation—a slum Uun brought about less by her own plotting than by n j accession of for tultous and unforeseen circumstances Never would she have had either the audacity or the Ingenuity to have ar­ ranged sui h on extraordinary ohain of circumstances. “Up to now; r’ve always held 'fiction to be stranger than truth—but never again! If 1 were a novelist I’d never have the cheek to make' up such a lurid and Improbable yarn as I'm Uv tng!" she anta redly told henrelf.

Or If St. Croix discovered she was the district teacher. Instead of the Ignorant cow she feigned to be! Or if any of the Sehwenckton family discovered her meeting with St Croix or any of the other things about her whkh they were congenitally to •apable of suspecting!

For Aiioi. investigations had proven Mr Sehwenck ton’s surmise correct- -Marvin Creighton was board Ing. for the time being, at Absalom's cottage cm the Sehwenrktoo'a farm, which fact nddid considerably tn Meely’s uneasy u|>prehvnslons. -As she sirnlha) on her way to her meeting with st crolx. In the lovely October sunlight she wondered wheth er she should amuse herself with “lur Ing" Marrlii us she was “working" St. Croix (for other reasons than her amusement) -.Marvin might not be such easy game; they said he de splsed glrla— "Probably-he's afraid of them I Or he doesn’t know any nice ones of the Noble-Army-of-Martyrs style. Could J work the noble stunt, I wonder? Risky! Might get my two roles mixed up! Better keep off Marrin!" It was just us she came to this con elusion \that suddenly, with a jump of her heart, she saw him emerge from a lane on the road ahead of her and. turning In her direction, come straight toward her on the highway In a long swinging striae. She recog nlzed him by that stride, for she had seen him that morning going across the Schwenkton’s orchard to Absa lorn's cottage. That strong, free gait of his would have arrested attention anywhere. How different from St Croix’ dapple prancing. Suddenly she realized that she dared not let him recognize her to this ridiculously festive frock she was wearing, for as he was bound to meet her- soon tn ber school room dressed In her own character, the contrast would make him suspicious. But how to elude him? The highway offered no escape. She wore no hat that she could ptdl down over her face. And he 4ras almost up with her! In desjieration, ns they were about to bass, she raised both her arms to fuss at her hair and thus conceal her face. . But through the crook of her left arm she saw that she might have । I ' I * i , ' . > spared herself the tremble? for he never so much as glanced at her; sjrpnrently so engrossed In tils own thoughts that he remained quite un­ aware of the passing of a pretty girl! “Well!" she breathed In mingled surprise and pique, for she was tLsed to young men's looking at ber as they passed. “Never butted an eyelash at me!" She had caught a glimpse of his face and the rest of her walk to the hilltop seemed all too short for the Interesting reflections aroused there­ by. For she had perceived the re­ markable fact that Marvin and St Croix Creighton looked extremely alike, yet totally unlike; alike in feature and coloring and unlike in countenance. St. Croix’ smugness was .here replaced by a rather wistful mel­ ancholy ; St Croix’ cynicism by an ex­ pression of grave kindliness; SL Croix’ scornful pride by a look of genial humor; SL Croix’ keenness.by a reflective, Inquiring expression touched by bewilderment Of course, all this wns not revealed in a passing glimpse. But a great deal of it un­ folded to her consciousness as, while she walked, she continued to gaze on the mental image she had caught, of a face so arresting as to make that of his brother, whom she was going to meet, seem by comparison Inslgnlficant ' So absorbed had she been, as she loitered along, that she forgot all about St. Crqlx' annoyance If he were kept waiting for her. So that when turning a curve In the path up the hill, she suddenly saw him standing there above her, looking coldly of­ fended at her tardiness. It brought her up with a sharp start. The ex­ pression of bls face made her feel more like turning tall and gnlng back rhan going on to the top. “Just Imagine." she thonght as she rolled up the rvst of the slope, “being married to such a disposition 1—to a man who’d take It oux of you so when­ ever things didn’t suit him exactly!" She smiled inwardly as she thought that If she were a girl whom he want­ ed to marry, he would surely never so reveal himself tn her. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Conditions Teachers are so drilled in marking people on a percentage baste that we find them trying to grade almost ev­ ery activity of human experienoe.

On this basis Nashville ranks about 3 per cent, not left out a aero. It h Doe* Nashville have interest In the boys and girls? Or ore the local parent-teacher meetings uninteresting?

In hte address to the delegates of the Michigan MUk Producers at their eleventh annual meeting held recently at Michigan 'State College, N. P. Hull, president, stated that more assets than any similar cooper­ ative organisation in the United States. Directors elected at the mooting wore Roy Potts, Washington: Fired Meyers, Fairhaven; H. D. Norton Sr., Howell; and E. T. Powers, Clio. The president of the organisation, Mr. Hull, said that the success of a cooperative venture depended, in a large measure, upon the ability of the person chosen to manage the bus!hoes, and upon the loyalty of the members of the organisation. The report presented by secretary Jean Near, showed that the area that supplies milk for Detroit had grown, since 1920, from an area within a radius of 45 miles of De­ troit to one with a radius of 90 Mr. Near also said that members would find In the near future that it would be most profitable to pro­ duce milk that contained at least 3.5 per cent of butterfat. —Zemer baa (die goods. —Save money at Zemer’Q. —Linoleum rug*.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINKT By Edson R. Wale, Shawnee, Okla. That the secret of the success of a business lies in -the quality of Its merchandise and amount ot advertis­ ing done. That quality bullde a business whan assisted by good advertising. That the selling of some merchan­ dise must be done by suggestion. Suggest new merchandise through the advertising columns of the news­ papers. That a business that advertises consistently and persistently never travels on crutches. That newspaper advertising gives the public confidence Ln a business. That confidence helps to insure That there is nothing that attracts as much attention to a burtneea as newspaper advertising. That when strangers look for the beat place to buy they read the ads. for they know that the beat business concerns advertise. ■ Merchandise of superior excellence —goods that are delightfully differ­ ent and merchandise of quality, are always advertised. OBITUARY Velma R. Sixberry, daughter of Mr. and MH. Harry’ Sixberry. was born in Maple Grove. October 21st. 1917 and died In Ann Arbor. October 26th. 1927, at the early age of 10 years and five days. She leaven to mourn their loss her parents, three* brothers and one sister, her grand parents. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hollister, and a large num­ ber of more distant relatives. She was of' an unusual sweet and lovely disposition; she seemed to be borne not so much for a world like this as to live among angels. Her life history was soon written, just in heaven. She has gone where the chilling winds of sin and the blighting frosts of Iniquity cannot deepoil the beau»'.Iul flower. She has been trans­ planted to God's beautiful flower garden. The funeral service* were held In the Maple Grove M. E. church and conducted by Rev. L. B. Kenyon, on Saturday. October 29, at 2:00 p. m., with t-rial In Wilcox cemetery. Oh dear Velma how we loved you, It was hard to let you go, But the angels came and called you And we could not tell them no. The dew drops are now purer, And your robes are white as enow, Angels came and took our own dear Velma, CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the relatives, friends, neighbors, school and Sun­ day school for the beautiful flowers and, their many arts of kindness shown us at the time of our bereave­ ment and loss ot our dear daughter and sister.

Famous Injunction Sult of Furnbs et al, vs. Nashville School Board Decided Saturday by Judge McPeek. The terrible suspense Is over at last. The famous school suit lias been de­ cided and our school district may ac­ quire additional land for school pur­ poses with due sanction of law. Judge R. R. McPeek, who heard the case at Hastings two weeks ago. and who received the briefs of the attorneys in the case last week, on Saturday handed down his full decision in the case, which we haVe the pleasure of presenting in full to our readers here­ with. and we know they will read It with a lot of Interest. In a word. It denies the petition of the plaintiffs in toto. and leaves the school board free to complete the purchase of the prop­ erty desired The Baptist parsonage property was transferred to the school district and the deed recorded before the Injunction suit was started, and the vacating of the alley had also been held up await­ ing action in probate court and was therefore under the ban of the Injunc­ tion as to closing. However, everything Is now In the clear and the school board will probably take over the prop­ erty for the district within a few days. Of course, the plaintiffs In the case have the right to appeal the case to the supreme court, if they so desire. Following is the decision of the court.

The face is the Ionic No. 5. introduced this year by the Mergcntiuder Linotype company, and which has proven the most popular type face ever producedfor newspaper work. You will find this new face of type easy on the eyes. It is cosily legible and has received the hearty endorsement of newspaper readers and eminent eye specialists all over the country- It w111 particularly pteaM our elderly reader*, because, while it is actually smaller than the body type we have been using on The News, it is much more' easily legible. The fine lines, commonly known as hail lines, have been entirely eliminated. Instead, the line* are aU a trifle heavier, the stems of the letters are shorter, while the loop* in the open letters are larger, making for what is known as a larger face on the same size body. The face which ha* been in use on The New* was. eight-point roman. The new face is 7-point Ionic, on 8-potot body, so while the face of the new type will seem larger and be much more easily read. It actually occupies no more space than the old type. We will give you the same amount of reading matter per column, but It will seem larger and will be more easily read. We hope you will like our new dress and the improved appearance of The News. It you do, we shall be glad to have your expressions of approval.

The Detroit News recently adopted the new Ionic, only in a much smaller size than that we have adopted, and many other leading newspapers of the state are making It a part of their equipment. In order that you may the more readily compare the new type with the old, we are - presenting below a section of a column in the new Ionic side by side with the same section os reproduced from last week’s News and which Is set in the old 8-point roman. You will easily discern the great difference. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? ’ DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla- By Edson R. Wate, Shawnee, Okla.

NUMBER 18 NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOV. 24, 1927 -'PLUME LV Dave Kunz Falls Victim to Illness . Friday Nigh I Hail, Columbia! A genuine feeling of sorrow was cast over the entire community Saturday morning, when the fact became gen­ erally known that David Kunz had suddenly passed away during the night. Mr. Kunz had been a frequent sufferer from heart attacks during the past two years, but had continued the management of his candy store and was actively interested In his business right up to the time of ills death. He was in his store as late as usual Friday night, but shortly after arriving at his home he was suddenly taken 111 and soon passed away, his demise being caused by myocarditis and pulmonary edema. Mr. Kunz was 61 years of age and had spent his entire life in Maple Grove township, where he was born, and in Nashville. For many years he had been commercially engaged in the village and always manifested a keen interest in the civic welfare of the community. Of a generous, friendly nature, he commanded the respect and won the friendship of all his acquain­ tances, and his sudden passing is a loss that will be keenly felt. Besides the widow and one daugh­ ter, Mrs. Pauline Lykins of Nashville, the deceased leaves three brothers,. .Peter Kunz of Hastings. Henry Kunz of Grand Rapids and Jacob Kunz of Brownsville. Minnesota; one step­ brother, John Bahs of Castleton; three sisters. Mrs G. E. Brumm and Mrs. Frank Felghner of Nashville, Mrs. Walter Kahler of Salem; one half-sister. Mrs. Orville Flook of Ma­ ple Grove, and one step-sister. Mrs. E. V. Keyes, of Nashville. The obsequies, held at the Evangel­ ical church Monday afternoon and conducted by Rev. A. L. Bingaman, were largely attended, and a profusion of floral tributes evidenced the sympa­ thy of the many friends. Among those from out of town who attended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kunz of Grand Rapids. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kahler of Salem. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Wolfe and sons of Farmington. Rev. and Mrs. Delbert Ostroth. Rev. and Mrs. Lloyd Mead and Mrs. Rosetta Mead of Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kunz. Mrs. Orton Ends­ ley. Mrs ‘Clyde Wilcox.

Since 1925. at least two years col­ lege training is necessary, for grade teaching, although only one year is required for teaching a rural school. A high school teacher is required to have an A. B. degree: however, it is said that the time is not far off when the grade teacher will have to have an A. B. degree and the high school teach er an M. A. degree. Travel furnishes good training and teachers are en­ couraged more and mon. to travel. There is no special high school course In a small town which will help In training, although In the larger city schools the night schools are very helpful. But wherever the high school student goes he may glean helps for his future career. One suggestion is: Accept every opportunity possible to speak before the public and ta act as substitute teacher in the lower grades. Holding offices in clubs dur­ ing high school lends many advantages which help in training for teaching. Third, there is always a chance for advancement in both position and sal­ ary. There is more chance in the town school than in the city because of the large number of teachers in the city. Men teachers are advanced much more rapidly than women and are in grea­ ter demand because of the scarcity of men teachers. Compared with other professions, teaching is a fairly well paid vocation, but because of the great number of expenses involved, one seldom hears of a teacher becoming rich. For instance, if a pupil’s parents are too poor to buy the necessary books, tbe teacher First, as to qualifications, a teacher must like children and have an in­ fluence over them.

I N THE Middle ages the alchemists * were always thinking about the possibility of trunamuting the baser metals into gold. They failed. Rut the discoveries made b the chem Ists of the present surpass all the dreams of the wise men of tbe pasl. So there was no exaggeration In­ volved when Robert E. Rose of rhe Department of the Interior talked about the work that was being done In tbe laboratories of America athe "treasure hunting" of the period. They came upon silk bidden in th< fiber of cotton; vivid dyes and orien­ tal perfumes Id a pot of tar; bright metals in dull, common clay; sllvei hidden In lead; deadly poisons and medicines In one lump of coal, and fertilizer out of the air. All the discoveries from radium to modern explosives have been mnde by men and women who wanted to find out what things were mnde of. The chemists are always trying to discover if there Is anything In tbe world that cannot be made simpler. They have found that there are millions of different substances, mil­ lions of different kinds of molecules. But there are only !t2 different kinds of atoms and about twenty of them form the majority of molecules. There are seldom more than three or four kinds of atoms In one kind of molecule. Each substance Is composed of characteristic molecules. But tbe only things In molecules are atoms It< follows that the difference In the molecules must depend on the num her, arrangements and kind of the atoms. So here, acrording to Doctor Rose, is the whole secret Once we'have learned to rearrange atoms we have learned bow to transform matter. ffere Is ScfmpTe flat rovers the whole subject It was In 1843 that, by a long process of boiling and redistilling coal tar, a substance called aniline was finally discovered. A quarter of a century later a boy of the name of Perekln, who waa In­ terested in chemistry, tried to make quinine artificially. He put oxygen into the aniline. This resulted In bls obtaining a brightly colored sub­ stance. When tested it was found to be a bright vlolet-mauve dye. This caused a stir, for it meant that dyes could be made. Instead o: taking them from plants. It was also found that tbe manufactured color* were more vivid than the natural The first striking success of Ferekin was in making turkey red from coal tar.

The Nashville Chamber of Com­ merce, at its regular monthly meeting held Monday evening at the Oddfellow hall, took definite action toward the forming of a local credit bureau, and the solicitation of members is now un­ der way with the expectation of com­ pleting the organization In the near future. The meeting was prefaced by a fine feed which was a little out of the or­ dinary. Secretary C. H. Dahlhouscr donating venison for the feast, while the fixin’s were prepared and served by the Rebekahs. Guests at the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Wright and daughter of Ion­ la. who had been invited to discuss the credit exchange proposition. Mr. Wright is secretary of the Ionia ex­ change and also secretary of the state association and his daughter is book­ keeper In the Ionia office, so they were able to import much valuable informa­ tion in regards to the management and the benefits to be derived from such an organization. After thorough discussion. It was de­ cided to adopt the Shelby plan of credit bureau, which may be operated at small expense and Is most adaptable Sor the smaller communities. The meeting further decided to make membership In the C. of C? a necessary qualification for connection with the credit bureau, and the membership list was started with twenty names. To complete the canvas of the business district. President Glasgow appointed a committee, consisting of D. D. Hess, Frank Caley and Chas. J. Betts. This method of solving the credit problem has been in operation for years In large municipalities of the state, and is rapidly being adopted by the smaller communities. Credit ex­ changes are now being conducted in the following places: Albion. Alpena, Ann Arbor. Battle Creek. Bay City, Belding. Benton Har­ bor. Big Rapids, Birmingham, Char­ lotte. Chesaning. Coldwater. Dearborn. Detroit. Flint. Grand Haven. Grand Rapids. Hastings. Holland, Ionia, Jack­ son. Kalamazoo, Lakeview. Lansing, Lowell. Ludington. Marshall, Midland. Monroe. Mt. Clemens. Muskegon.

Another important matter before the Chamber of Commerce was the con­ sideration of insurance rates. W. A. Quick, chairman of the committee ap­ pointed la;>t month, reported that he had taken the matter up with the state department. As a result a fire in­ spector is at present making the rounds of the business section, making suggestions as to the elimination of fire hazards. Later a final survey will be made to determine whether any change in rate is justified. Mr. Glasgow, who was chosen chair­ man of the highway committee, re­ ported that favorable progress had been made tn that line of endeavor, and he was Instructed to carry on until the next meeting. Owing to the holiday season it was decided to omit the December meeting, and the next session of the C. of C. will be held the fourth Monday even­ ing In January. BARNES-VAND ERVEN TER Mr. Alton K.

Can He Get Them 411 tn?------ -- ----------------------- r *** PRODUCTION STARTED ON NEW MODEL FORDS Will Be Exhibited Throughout Country On Friday Of This Week. Vermontville will get its first full description of the new line of Ford automobiles, tomorrow. A public reception to be held by lo­ cal dealers is part of the national in­ troduction of the new Ford models. In thousands of communities all over the United States tomorrow this new line of moderate priced light automobiles will be introduced to millions of people. The doors of the showrooms arc to be opened promptly at 7.00 in the morning and attendants will be on hand throughout the remainder of the day to explain the new and Interesting features of the car which is expected to make a new chapter In automotive history. The new Ford cars are said to be the product of several years of study ami planning by Henry Ford and his en­ gineers in the great Ford laboratories at Dearborn. Mr. Ford himself has announced that “there is nothing quite like the new Ford car" and has stated that it will prove just as great a pion­ eer in the present field of low priced cais of quality as the famous Model T was a pioneer in its field for more than nineteen years. The performance of these new cars it is said, will be startling when viewed in the light of automobile performance of the past. \ Local dealers have been notified by Ford officials at Detroit that the factor­ ies throughout the country are now preparing to produce the new cars in numbers exceeding even the tremend­ ous production records achieved in the manufacture of the Model T line. Company officials at Detroit also re­ peated their early announcement that production of the new Ford line will not make the Model T line obsolete. The manufacture of new parts for Model T replacements will continue to be -an important factor of the Ford plants as long as any of the Model T cars are still in operation, the local dealert were advised. Because of this policy, present owners of Model T cars will be able to keep their cars in per­ fect order as long as those cars re­ main tn commission.

THE KNIGHTS OF NOW By DOUGLAS MALLOCH HE knightly man Is good to see, Who keeps .alive love's chivalry TThough days of knighthood now ar? dim— No wunder women worship him 1 No more men wenr their coats of mall. But I am sure the Holy Grail Men still nuiy reek. Yes, 1 am sure The love thin leaves a woman pure And leaves unwrltiklrd woman's brow Is Just as necessary now. The call to knighthood calls ns cleur As in the must romantic year. Perhaps it needs u braver knight Thun atiy ever called to tight In all our most romantic rimes. For now' we live In looser times. And not by any lance’s length We measure men, but by the strength With which they keep their morals straight. However others deviate. Oh, knights of now, of later days. Love calls you still your flag to raise, Your armor wear upon your quest To wear her ribbon on your breast And keep her Image in your heart. Her sweetness something set apart, Her virtue something girt about That not a voice shah dare to doubt That not a love, familiar grown. Shall stain, and most of all, your own. .

Girl’s Glee club and eighth grade chorSUNDAY EVENING’S PROGRAM DRAWS FINE CROWD. The musical program given at the Methodist church last Sunday evening proved to be one of the best entertain­ ments of the season; and the sermonette given by the pastor, Rev. G. E­ Wright, was a very appropriate mes­ sage to be delivered. The Foster orchestra, consisting of about twelve instruments, opened the program with two selections, after which the congre­ gation joined with a hymn as the third number, followed by prayer by the minister. Miss Mildred Caley de­ lighted the audience with a solo. "My Shepherd,” accompanied by Miss Eliz­ abeth Gibson at the piano. The orch­ estra then played during the offertory. The high school glee club, under the direction of Mrs. Leia Roe, followed with the number “Send Out Thy Light.” Rev. G. E. Wright then deliv­ ered a fifteen-minute sermonette, which was listened to with interest. A vo­ cal duet, sung by Louise and George Wotring. was beautifully done, and they chose as their number "I Heard the Voice of Jesus.” As a closing hymn, the congregation again joined in singing “God Will Take Care of You.” after which the orchestra gave a re­ ligious selection, which included a number of songs well known to ev­ eryone. This closed this splendid eve­ ning of good entertainment, and a fine audience turned out to hear the pro­ gram. NUMBER 20 BUSINESS NEWS —Read Zemer’s Advt. —Alcohol—for the radiator.

APPRECIATED GIFT Vests, $1.00 Step-ins, $1.60 NEW YORK CENTRAL BUYS PRIZE BEEF TO ENCOURAGE RAISERS Juicy Bleaks from blue-ribbon cows, the finest cattle raised in America, are promised railroad dining car patrons for the holiday season. To give practi­ cal encouragement to farmers who are trying to improve the meat herds of the country, the New York Central Lines have just bought, at the Inter­ national Livestock Exposition in Chi­ cago, seven carloads of prize beef cat­ tle and will serve the finest cuts from selected portions in their dining cars to Christmas and New Year's travelers. These glorified beef-steaks are only one means by which the New York Central Lines are trying to help farm­ ers. For many years this railroad sys­ tem has given the agriculturist vital assistance In increasing his yield from fields and herds and in improving the quality of his crops and live-stock. The New York Central Lines were pioneers in aiding the farmer to in­ crease soil fertility and Improve the quality of his cattle, both dairy and beef, and in other ways to get the max­ imum results from his labors. This they have done through aiding in the purchase of pure-bred bulls and by operating, in conjunction with state and county agricultural departments, special demonstration trains showing the fanner, in his own home town, the most efficient methods of growing big­ ger and better crops. This railroad system has done much to teach the value of crop rotation and of using limestone to redeem acid soils. It also has devoted large sums to present helpful messages of this sort to the farmer through advertisements in newspapers and farm journals.

Every year since we were married, my wife and I have bundled ourselves up In warm togs and gone out a day or two before Christmas and gathered armfula of spruce and hemlock branches, sprays of ground pine, and occasionally some mistletoe, though thia la rare in our part of the coun­ try. “After the children came, this ex­ cursion into the woods became ns much a part of Christmas as the tree, the stockings, nod the Clnner. When we were living out in the suburbs, near the open woods, we used to go out and chop down our own Christ­ mas tree and bring it home on a low sledge. *■ “Then' the time came when we bad to move Into town, because of my having a good deal of night work, and It took too long to get way out into the country late at night We couldn't bring borne our own Christ­ mas tree any more, of course, but we could, and did. take a whole day to go out and get our Christmas greens, and we do It every year. If the weather is open and there Isn't too much snow, we take tbe car and drive out to the woods. "If there Is a great deal of snow and It is impossible to take the car out we go on the train to a con­ venient country station, get off and tramp through the woods, and col­ lect our . Christmas decorations. If we have too large a load to take Into the coach, I find that the baggage car will bring it Id to town for a half­ dollar or so. Tbe spirit of Christmas comes back with us from the woods, and the twining of our own greens'into wreaths and festoons means a hun­ dred times more than If we bought them out of a wooden packing box at the florist's." <Cop7rl<hL» A Christmas Carol By Robert Herrick rtaetter mafic am toe bring a carol be to sub Cle tortb M mk Bcrtentp Btagi ■torts ftc totes!

Christmas Land Stead NDRK SANDERSEN stroked the lean barrel of his rifle as he sat In the window of the little shanty on bls prairie homestead. The full moon of a Christmas Bve poured its white light on illimitable wastes of snow. A shaft of that same light fell through the window, gleamed along the rifle on Andre's knees, played about the great bands that fondled Its barrel But Andre was not conscious of the moonlight, except as It served to ac­ centuate his loneliness. Across the prairie, half a mile to the southward, lay the shanty of his brother. Axel, and his brother's wife, Olga. A point of yellow light shone from Axel’s win­ dow like a star on the horizon. Half a mile I Andre's rifle would carry two thousand yards, but It would need a rare marksman to hit that point of light half a mile away. He sighted the rifle carefully, estimating to him­ self whether there was any possibility of finding that little target Then, as though convinced of the futility of such a purpose, he returned the j weapon tenderly to his knee. For exactly three years the Sander­ son brothers had lived as strangers, although their homesteads adjoined a this vary Christmas Eve thnt Axel had brought Olga, bls bride, to share his shanty and bls life—Olga, who, in far-off Scandinavia, had pledged her­ self to Andre! Axel had met her at the railway station, thirty miles away, while Andre Jay at home, burning with fever. Then, when she came, it was as Axel's wife! Andre never bad asked, and never iMtfned, what had happened at t$e little prairie town wncn the fair­ haired, lonely, tired girl rushed to the arms of Axel, his brother. The three had been playmates together, but An­ dre never had gpessed that his broth­ er loved her. too. If, In that moment. Axel had taken advantage of her lone­ liness and her delight at meeting an old friend to force his suit to instant decision, Andre saw in their action nothing but treachery and deceit Never since had he stepped on his brother's farm, and be had given Axel to understand that if either he or Olga crossed the dividing line the rifle would bark and bite to kill.

BARBER, deep to thought, seated at a broad desk, heavily laden with r papers which bore evidence of her many responsibili­ ties, planned and pondered the ques­ tion at length.

To be sure, people were generous and thoughtful In remembering tills group. Thnt was exactly it How could one put this generosity into a form which would benefit the largest number in the group? The agitation of the ques­ tion had begun bpt today, when Mrs. Barber had received a note and a do­ nation of fifty dollars from a group of fina, jrabllc-splrlted elttaens who were endowed with the true Christ­ mas spirit. The accompanying note merely statod that Its use could best be determined by Mrs. Barber, and so would be left entirely to her good judgment. She read the note once more as It lay on the desk before her. “Our group or society has a little fund raised in various ways by its members.

In the afternoon the two bobbled and tripped, respectively, into the kitchen, entry- Through tbe half-open door they saw their hostess and the daughter of tbe bed-ridden woman. What was it they bent over? Helen's parcel, with its bunch of scarlet tissue, its bolt of green ribbon, its sprigs of artificial holly. But with what wistful eyes were the women re­ garding these gewgawa "They say." whispered Miss Gould, barely touching the pretties with finger tips discolored by iodine, “that in lots of places one never has a Christmas gift not tied up nice.

And was Helen ’tired to death" when all was complete? Nay, stand­ ing beside Clay on the little porch, listening to the cracking ice as trees swayed In the rising wind, she felt as if swaddled in tbe comfort of a great joy. Vainly bad ahe thought herself “rick of Christmas." At ber first chance to forget, she had worked her utmost to bring holiday to the for­ gotten town. With dawn, she knew the extent of her success.

The children just knew that It was sent on purpose, so that Santa Claus could conic In his loaded s’elgb and fill their stockings. But amidst all this joy and beauty there was one sad family, who lived at the far end of Main street They had just received word that their eld­ est son. Ray. had been lost on the field of battle. Father, mother and the four remaining children were seated within the living room in silence while the happy celebrations were in full swing on all rides of them. Each one was filled with thoughts of other years and how happy they had been. Each saw visions of the heavily load­ ed Christmas tree gleaming in all Its beauty, while their son and brother nreriik-d over it in his Santa’s outfit.' Thus they sat Speechless, with lumps In tbelr throats, until bedtime. One by one they retired broken-hearted to finish their visions in tbe far-off dreamland. When quietness covered Its cloak over tbe little town and the children’s stockings were all waiting for Santa Claus, the midnight flyer pulled In. dropping off a lone passenger—a sol­ dier boy. He had come to surprise his family on the glorious Christmas holiday. Not having heard of the false report of his death, he had come to be tbelr Santa Claus, as of old.

You are the first one off the train, and the first through the gate. Father andjpother axe there waiting for you. Mother hugs and kisses you without a word, but there is a tightening of Her arms that speaks much. Father shakes hands with you heartily and rayi, "Well, my boy, you're looking fin® I" When you reach the car, there are grandfather and grandmother, and Aunt Jennie and Aunt Molly; and they all act as though they never had seen anyone in their lives look so good to them as you! You climb into the front seat alongside your father. It is Christmas morning and most folks are at home. But you see an occasional acquaintance and wave your hand gaily and shout, “Merry Christmas I" And one or two step out from the sidewalk and stop you and say, “Well, I’ll he dogged!" and shake hands with you and tell you bow glad they are to see you. You are out of town now, speeding over the road that runs along the riv­ er, that beautiful, wide, blue river, where In summer you swam and boat­ ed and caught fish, and In winter hunt­ ed ducks. There deyrn tbe road comes a familiar figure with a gun on his shoulder and a dog at his heels! It is Chuck Andrews.

And your grandfather says to your mother, “Sally, that was a fine din­ ner’’; and Uncle Bob adds, “Yes, i think I con get along all right now until supper."

A bright star hang* above the house of David—the old Inn of Chlraham. Homes are emptied. With fright and awe the people stand gas­ tag at the flaming herald.

The strange starlight mantles the village with n stranger bappineaii. Strange omens crowd the hour. People are gathering down by the old Inn. They stand In alienee; men are as voiceless as the night. Only the few have dared to whisper. A man comes out of the Inn. now and then he presses his Ups against a neighbor’s ear and whispers: "Stran­ gers from Nazareth—a child Is born.” Now the people fall back to make room for a company of night watch­ ers from the sheep flocks, their be­ grimed faces bright with excitement and wonder. They are from the Boas bills. They tell excldedly the story of angels singing praises to God and annou2c,n^ the birth of a King and Savior. They have enme to see.

His suit proclaimed its own threadbareness, as well as tbe boy’s thinness, by the way It dung to him. He tried to pull his ragged cap down over ears that were flaming with cold, and Joseph thought he shrank from putting the worn soles of his shoes against the freexlng-cold pavement But as the boy came oppo­ site tbe florist's window he sheered Inward on the sidewalk to look at the display of those wares that only peo­ ple who have satisfied their needs In food and dothes can afford to buy. Joseph noted with pity the pinched features, the look of grim control In the face of one so young. It was the great basket of pink roses that held his attention. Joseph expected to see him turn away with the look of resig­ nation many more prosperous seeming people have when they must pass the temptation of flower*. To Ns sur­ the lad, seeming to settle the | prise worn coat a little more closely on his j shoulders, entered the shop briskly. ; Just inside the door he shivered with delight In the warmth. Joseph saw he had sandy hair and eyes of Irish blue. . “It's freezing he Is, the poor boy." i Joseph murmured to Katie, "and rare ‘ the shop looked friendly. “And would you like to look at tbe flowers, young Mr?” he bowed to tbe unpromising customer. "You’re wel। come to enjoy them alt But maybe j you’d like first to warm yourself be- I side tne radiator, it txing ■ rrosty mvra Ing." “Thank you. I will.” the boy stretched numb finger* over the steamy heat after he had taken off his cap in deference to Katie, who watched him sympathetically while she pretended to retie the satin rib­ bon around a pot of poinsettia. “But I want to buy some roses. Like those in the window." "Ah, the Kllinrneys," smiled Joseph. “They are bonny flowers, the Klllarneya." He stepped lightly to the refrigera­ tor at the back of the shop and. tak­ ing out a bouquet of the roses, brought them forward for tbe young man’s In­ spection. The lad thrust a hand Into his pocket. Joseph and Katie saw him put back a nickel and two pennies. The rest he wpilled onto the counter, because his hand trembled with cold. “There's only a dollar and a half,’’ he said. “How many will that buy?" The florist shook his head. "Not so many of these, son. But let me show you. We have some here we call ’sec­ onds.’" He retraced his steps and drew forth another bouquet. "Oh, those are finer yet!” cried the boy. "They look so," said Joseph fairly, "but they will not last quite so long. They bloomed too soon, for there were not enough people wanting roses yes­ terday, when they shquld have been sold.” "I will take those," said the boy of the sandy hair, tbe glow In his blue eyes seeming to warm his whole body, “but they are to go to a little town east of here. Could you mall them for me to Mrs. R. E. Arnolfi, at Lad­ donia?" Joseph, scribbling slowly on the pad he drew toward him, could only think of tbe miserable nickel and two pennies he had seen the boy put back ta his pocket. And he thought. “Sure, now, why wouldn’t he be sending them to some bonny lass like my Katie instead of a ’Mrs.’ This is only some woman who has charmed the lad for pastime, or more like It’s some fine lady, his teach­ er perhaps, would dislike to know he’s spent his last money for these.” He overcame a natural hesitation— It was none of his business how the young boys spend their money—and leaned across the counter toward the boy. “Sure, an’ wouldn’t it be better now if you took the money across the street there and got yourself a good breakfast at my friend Timm; O’Mara's? Are you sure you want to send the lady these flowers, and you with only seven wnts left to you?" “Oh. yea," Instated the boy, who with thawing out by the radiator had lost much of his shrunken appearance, "you see, they’re for my mother." “Your mother!" exclaimed Joseph, consulting the memorandum he hud made, “Mrs. Arnolfi. Bon. I made sure your name would be Irish." "And the first of it is. Ifn Ter­ rence," beamed the sandy-haired lad, "and my mother is Irish. Sure, Klllar- n»jy means all the romance of the world to her. And how she loves the roses! She says they seem to her like they bad souls or tbe little peo­ ple was in them. I must send her the roses for Christmas so she will think, do you see. that I am doing weH, for I haven't enough money to take me all the way home, like I wanted to go.” “Sure, Terry, you’re talking tbe blarney now yourself," the florist smiled through misty eyes. At the kindness in that voice the boy's head suddenly went down on the counter and be was sobbing with heartbreak. •'Katie, if he’s more than fifteen after all!” was Joseph's whispered exclamation before he rounded the counter, to put an arm across the boy's shoulders. “There now, Terry.

And when this angel hnd finished speaking the glory of heaven shone brighter all tbout them, and looking up they be­ held a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and singing the song that has echoed since through all the ages: “Glory to God In the highest and on earth peace to men of good will." After the angels had departed and the dazzling light had van­ ished from the hillside the shep­ herds whispered among them­ selves, and they decided to leave their flocks and go to the little town of Bethlehem, as the angel had told them. Over the hills nnd valleys they went, never pausing until they came to the humble stable where the Savior lay. There they prostrated themselves st His feet, praising God for the thing that had come to Dass, and telling Mary, His mother, and Joseph of what they had seen and heard that night Then they departed from His presence and went their way, tellng all whom they met of the Savior's coming.

I can’t never trust no one’s appearances again!” thought Mr. Bchwenckton with a sor­ rowful shake of his head. 'That's the worst harm a crook does—he spreads abroad a mistrust of man made In the Image of Gawd!" ' Fifteen minutes later Mr. Schwenck ton. usually the most placid nt men. confronted his family tn the kitchen, looking so white and agitated that Meely and Nettle sprang up greatly startled, and even Rosie looked at hint inquiringly. ' T was held up and robbed!" he announced. “Not two mile up the road yet!" “Ach I Was you hurtF’ cried Net­ tie In a fright, running to him. "No, I ain’t hurt And I ain’t loaf nothin* neither! 1 held the crook up and got back what was stole off oi me! That's what 1 done!" "Aeta. Pop!" Nettle gasped tn mln gied terror and admiration “Good thing I took my rewolwer with !

"If I never And him It'll make me feel awful conscientious to keep bis watch 1 YL yl. yll" he shook his head and began agitatedly to paca tbe length W the kitchen. “Oh. you'll have no trouble finding him. Mr. Scbwenckton,” said Meely encouragingly. “He’ll of course report to tbe police and they'll easily trace you up." "Yes, and arrest me for a thief yet!" exclaimed Mr. Scbwenckton. TH tell you!" cried Meely “You report to the police. Mr. Schwenck ton. and tell them of your mistake— and that you want them to find the man. That will save you." Mr. Scbwenckton stojiped In bls ag! fated walking to and fro. and looked at Meely admiringly ’’You're go! the head on you Meely! I dldn’’ think that far myself. Education’s a a grand help to a body In this here life: That’s what I’ll do thia self­ same minute!” He went to the telephone, but found tbe line "busy." "Delay may be fatair said Meelay anxiously. "You must report It before he doos.

It was at this instant that they were ail startled by a rap on the kitchen door, and before anyone could answer It, the door opened and a wot, be draggled and very tired-looking young man almost staggered Inta the room closing the door tw-tilnd him and lean Ing against It hea» :ly. “I’ve Iwn held oo the road ana rubbed I" he ann<-ttnred. his voice weak with fatigue. -May I use your phone to repor: to the policeF’ A stunned alienee on tbe part ef the four occupants ®f the kitchen tnet this statement and reqaeat—Mealy ate ring with wite-apao «yaa. bar toe*4 pr— to ber foot-toeatiag heart: Naerta'a fooe going teat red. tbaa pate; Mr Maraaohtoa traaabMag aad paMd baste weviA Itot tt wm Me wba Mabe Mr MM MIm- "*• Baa. be oMl MuataT* A Httie hysterical squeal of laugh­ ter from Meely brought the young man’s eyes nround to where she stood by the table—clad In a kimono, her hair down her back tn a braid. She was glad she was net dressed nor mally. for In her tailored school suit wltb her hair done, up around her head, she was so transformed from the country bumpkin of her voile frock trimmed with artificial flowers and streaming ribbons, 'that the ex­ treme contrast would have betrayed ber hopelessly as a masquerader. For . the man leaning exhausted against the kitchen door was St Croix Creighton. "How did you get here m soonF' quavered Mr Schwencktou, too ab­ sorbed in bls ewn quandary to see the flash of startled recognition with which his visitor’s «ye« met Mcely's She hud succeeded, at an Instant's ao tlce. In assuming tbe look of bovine dullness which bad so effectually dis 'gulsed her ever since she bad known him “Am 1—Is this 8am Schwaaekton’s farm I” exclaimed the amazed young man. Td do .Idea where I was. the road’s co pitch dark! I've been grop.ing my way for a half hour to find a bouse where I could telephone. That," pointing ta tbe lamp, "was the first light I saw In five miles I" "No. not five—not more’n two," Mr Bchwencktnn's shaking voice correct ed him “How do you know? Is this Mr Schwenck ton T’ asked St. Croix, for the farmer, without bis coat and hat and necktie, did not suggest to him bls automohfle companion of an hour ago. "It Is." Mr. Scbwenckton heavily ad nrftted. “And you. now that I see you tn tbe light. I rekonlze as the younger Mr. Creighton! Yi. yl. yi, yl!" "Yes. I am tn a mesa!" responded SL Croix. Interpreting the farmer's exclamation as an expression of sym pathy for his plight "May I use your—’’ "If it’s only your watch you want It ain't no need to phone. Here it Is F Mr. Scbwenckton. with shamed, aven ed face, held it out to its owner. St. Croix, amazed, took it "You caught the thief? But bow? Do ten me I I never was more taken In I He seemed the most harmless, kindly old simpleton—’’ This time It was Nettle who gave a little hysterical squeal which brought tbe young man’s eyes, for an instant, to her rosy, eager face. “Meely!" Mr. Scbwenckton ap pealed, “you tell him how It was' Me, I couldn’t get the words together for to explain such a bewilderment I” Meely was appalled. The Schwenck tons were accustomed to hear her speak good English; St Croix had of course never heard ber talk anything but the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect! "Nettle," she murmured, “you tell him!" Nettle, ahy, but all too willing to bold the young god's attention upon near right miles yet and not rrknnfz. each other—" ■ "I’d have known you In your farm dothra. I auppoee. but—" He did pot explain how unnatural and unlike himself the farmer looked to him In his "store suit" with a col tar and necktie on. Tt's a good thing we’re neighbors thnt know each other or this here thing mightn't look so funny, but wery serious!" Mr Bchwenckton gravely opined. “I didn't know." BL Croix said end deniy. when Mr. Schwenckton'e abject apologies had been accepted, “that you had three daughters. Mr Bchweocktou: I thought yon had only, two." “You thought right—1 got only two." “Oh." SL Croix nodded, “then this young lady Isn’t your daughter?" His nod indicated Nettie, but as the and Meely sore standing together, Mr Bchwenckton misunderstood him. "No, she's only a distant cousin come to school to teach here." “Teach? Why. she looks too young! You can't tell, these days, can you how old girls are?" Meely realized that his look- <rt amazemenL almost of consternation was not at alL for Nettle’s youth as a teacher, but for the awful English with which the. children of the dis­ trict must be Instructed! Nettie was delighted that no one but herself, as she supposed, per celved his mistake, for It was won­ derful to have Mr. SL Croix Creigh­ ton think her old enough and "smart” enough to be a school teacher! Thank ful she was Indeed that Meely didn't speak tn and claim the honor It waa obvious to Meely that St Croix was even more concerned than she was that De'th er he nor she should by look er word reveal to this family the relation Id which they stood. ■ Mr. Bchwenckton offered, now. to get out his car agnln and take Mr Creighton home, but the young man protested that If they would allow him to telephone home, one of the Beech­ lands chauffeurs would be here In s short time with a runabouL While he waa telephoning Mt Bchwenckton ordered Nettie to make some strong hot coffee and get out some doughnuts and pie. But what. Meely wondered, would BL Croix think of the teacher’s being asked to do this Instead of the daugh ter of the house? She considered swiftly what would be her best course to avert suspicion on both sides. To get across the kitchen to the stairway and run up to her room? Mr Schwencken would be-bound to stop ber and Insist that she stay and have coffee and doughnuts with them, and If be spoke ta her at all. BL Croix would notice how differently be ad­ dressed her and Nettie. To remain here, however, was more certain to in vlte exposure. And yeL she was afzald to go away for fear of what might come out in her absence. Nettie, as she bustled about making coffee and setting out cups and snu cers, saw, with keen chagrin, how Mr Creighton's eyes kept turning toward Meely and never In her direction. And the expression on his face—furtive hungry. Infatuated! Was this, Nettie wondered, a case of love on sight? She was greatly puzzled, for in her opinion Meely "looked n mees” In thnt sloppy kimono and with a “plait” down her back. As Mr. Creighton bung up tbe re­ ceiver. there was a quick movement tn the room—Meely making for the stairs., "Ach, Meely—" began Mr. Schwenck ton. “Good night." she Interrupted rush Ing up the steps before be could stop her—but not before she caught In 8t Croix' eyes the evidence of the con fllct In hls mind—a passionate protest against her going, mingled with a fear of ber presence. Upstairs tn her own room, while she prepared for bed. she had the exciting suspense of wondering whether ~the> were talking about her: whether St Croix had noticed the kimono she had on, a Japanese embroidered silk thing that 8 county school teacher would hardly own If she were what she should be! Yes. thia kimono could be a “give-away." “Well, when this sort of thing could happen It was evident thnt she could not much longer keep up her farce She must bring things to a climax a> soon as possible; beguile Lt Croix to lay hls cards on the table; force bb hand for a show-down The sound of the cabinet organ li the parlor below her bedroom, and Nettie's shrill voice singing.

Can you take it from me?" ‘ “I can advise your school board to take It from yon.

"Be professional or die!" The children of the school were alt seated now—rigidly upright In the presence of that magnate, the county superintendent—and Meely could no longer dally with the situation: she must decide what to do . She might repeat the successful geography lesson she had already given that more Ing on Italy—though a deliberate repetition of tbe whole performance would be so astonishing to the chil dren as to be embarraslng to their teacher! For Venice, she had given them the songs of the gondoliers, and impersonations of Portia and Bhylock; for Naples, street beggars anfl coral workers; for Rome, impersonations of Caesar and Mark Antony wltb talea of gladiators interspersed; for Flor ence, impersonations of Savonarola and the Medici.

She eould not risk offering It to Marvin Crelgh ton.

We received instruction on the care of clothing, cleaning the whole garment, sponging spotts, pressing, etc. also on the care of teeth, hands and hair. Mrs. Mae Olin, a demonstrator for the Alfred J.

Thanksgiving guests of Mr. and Mrs. Earl W. Gibson of Hynes, Calif., were Mr. and Mrs. George M. Reese and family of Long Beach. California, for­ mer residents of Maple Grove: and Mr. and Mrs. Grover Marshall of Maple Grove. Michigan. The Marshalls are having a very interesting trip. Throughout the trans-continental trip they encountered pleasant weather and good roads, camping out every night until they reached San Diego, Califor­ nia, where they visited the Lathrops in their lovely home. On their way from San Diego to Los Angeles they stopped at the Gibson home and spent three pleasant days. From there they went to Los Angeles then to Santa Barbara, to renew acquaintance of a friend they had known twelve years ago. They are planning to spend Christmas near Seattle, Washington, then back down the coast until spring. Mrs. Marshall Is keeping very interesting notes of the trip and good descriptions of many beautiful places. Grover Is very pleased with Sunny California too. They were glad to see The News for they had heard no direct news from home since they left, the last of Octo­ ber. " The large crowd that gathered at the Methodist church Monday even­ ing to witness the play "Old Colony Days." must have been pleasing to those who have worked so hard to make the play a success, as indeed it was. "Old Colony Days", a dramatiza­ tion of the Courtship of Mlles Standish was given by the eighth grade as the meeting. The music for the evening was furnished by the school orchestra and a group of eighth grade girls dressed as Puritan maidens. Not only the play itself but the scenery gave evi­ dence of many hours of work, both by the children and their teacher, Miss VanHorn. Hinman Sackett as Mlles Standish, the captain of the little band of Pilgrims. Junior Roe as John Alden and Betty Lentz as Priscilla Mullin, were all particularly good, as were also the Indian chiefs and messengers. The curtain raised on the scene showing the landing of the Mayflower, the passengers singing as they entered Plymouth harbor. The scene then changed Ao the cabin ot Mlles Standish. Capt. Standish asks John Alden to carry a message from him to Priscilla Mullin—a proposal of marriage. Pris­ cilla scorns the proposal but asks "Why don't you speak for yourself. John?" John Alden returns to Capt. Standish with the refusal. A street of Plymouth For Sale—Top buggy.^open buggy them and win sell at a bargain. A. Meyers. South Main street. | or whole.

Now that Merry Christmas, the world’s greatest birthday is drawing near, and the fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers of all civilizations arc quietly and secretly laying their plans for the proper observance of the most cherished of all our festive days, let it be our fondest hope that the world’s venerable and faithful watch­ man. when he makes his final rounds oc Christmas night, will again hail us with the comforting herald. "Merry .Christmas. and All's Well" What does Christmas mean to you? A day off. a few remembrance* from relatives and friends, and a good din­ ner? And more—for surely you arc going to make it an occasion for more than usual rejoicing this year, a real old-fashioned Christmas. Going to be liberal In spirit and pocket, and scat­ ter merriment as you never did before. Of course, you intend to send those who linger in your memory a card of Christmas greeting, but why. not look some of them up, pat them on the back and tell them how glad you are to be with them: and to those you cannot see you can write nice warm-hearted letters, and tell them you want to hear from them oftener. Of course you intend to make pres­ ents. more than ever, so why not let the recipient know that there is a lot of good, warm heart-beats back of ev­ ery little gift. It isn’t the cost of the gift that counts, it's the spirit in which it is given. And it is fit and proper, that on this greatest of all birthdays there should be family reunions, hap­ py gatherings that bring loved ones from distances that may have prevent­ ed more than occasional meetings, around the paternal hearth. Let hap­ py smiles and fondest caresses blotout all past dissensions, if any and love and merriment rule the day. To the many “grads", some who will depart from the great cities of this land, for a brief sojourn with their loved ones in smaller towns, and while others remain In their homes, as well as the hundreds of readers of the Nash­ ville News, we extend cur sincere wish that yours may be a Merry Christmas. A Christmas full to the brim with joy. love and gratifying individual achieve­ ments.

Appelman. son of Mr. and Lfrs Nelson Appelman. graduated from the Nashville high school with the class of 1906. "Ernie” as he was call­ ed in school was always an energetic lad and at once entered the employ of the Citizens Telephone Co. After a few years work his sterling qualities were recognized and he was transfer­ red to the Consumers Power Co. and given the position of managing their office in Nashville. This he has held for fifteen years. Thirteen years ago last Thanksgiving day a pardner join­ ed him. in the person of Miss Audrey Hummel She has been very loyal, and assisted her husband in many ways in working for the company. Mr. and Mrs. Appelman have a little daughter, Vivian, one whom we are all proud of. In March she will be eleven years old. She Is In the 6th grade at school. Viv­ ian is talented in elocution as well as in music. She is a student of Mrs. Edith Purchls and is classed in the 4th grade. Every one is pleased and anxious to hear her, when they see her name on a program, which happens real often. Very much praise is due her parents In the fine way they are directing her. and we hope as the years pass, she can always be called one of Nashville's best girls. Several years ago Mr. and Mrs. Ap­ pelman built a cosy, pleasant home, semi-bungalow style, on Main street, where they live at the present time, and are glad to welcome their many friends. WOMAN’S LITERARY CLUB The club celebrated Christmas In true Christmas style Tuesday after­ noon. The rooms were beautifully decorated la holiday colors. Mrs. Unna Tuttle presided as hostess. The program opened by the club singing •Silent Night, Holy Night.” Mrs. Barkalow then favored us with a solo, "Thou Dids t Leave Thy Throne.” by Mathews. "The Story of the Young­ est Thief," by Margaret Songster, was told by Mrs. Lillie Smith. A beautiful story of the life of the thief, cru­ cified by the side of Christ, repented. She told how in his youth he was guid­ ed by the star and looking through the window of the stable beheld the Infant Jesus in his mother’s arms. Haro, wjth this scene ever in his mind, the youngest thief tried to lead an honest life. He succeeded for years, until at last grown old. he could find no work, and driven by hunger, he was caught robbing a man and was sentenced to be crucified. Mrs. Smith already has a reputation as a good story teller and she was at her best Ralph McNltt sang for us. "Glory to God in the Highest," which was greatly enjoyed. This number was followed by all singing "Joy to the World." Mildred Wotring then sang “The Angel Song” by Stickler, accompanied by John Wotring on the violin and Mrs. Dora Nelson at the piano. She very graciously responded to an encore. Mrs. Nelson also accompanied the other musical numbers on the program. Dainty refreshments were served by division two. The entertainment end­ ed by each member receiving a gift from the large Christmas pie by doing as Jack Homer did in the days of nursery rhymes. Proceeding the program a short bus­ iness meeting was held. The commit­ tee for the Star Commonwealth shower wishes each member to bring her dona­ tion for this charity to the meeting on January third. W. C. T. U. The W. C. T. U. met with Mrs. Eu­ nice Hanes, Dec. 15. with a good at­ tendance. After devotionals, roll call and election of officers, which closed the business meeting, a short Christ­ mas program was given. A vocal duet by Mrs. Eunice Hanes and Mrs Flossie Shupp, "The first Christmas gifts" was enjoyed. Miss Abbey Mix accompa­ nied them at the piano. Miss Elizabeth Gibson entertainea with a piano solo and was given an en­ core. Miss Georgia Bassett in her most pleasing way gave a reading. "Beautiful Bethlehem Bells." Miss Margaret Wenger favored the company with a piano solo, tjiat was wefi received. The W. C. T. U. cer­ tainly appreciates the numbers by these young people and hope that they may have them with them again at some future date. Mrs. Elna Olmstead read a few notes taken from the address by Mr. Fred Perry of Detroit one night last week at Kalamo. He said in part: "That there would always be wars. That the foreign countries were always in war. That the wisest thing the United States ever done was to keep out of the League of Nations, and how could you expect that with so many religious denominations and different beliefs that, all countries could agree, when different churches believed you could­ n't be saved only by their church. That the religion nf the United States was­ n’t as old tu the oldest tree in Cali­ fornia." This statement was made by our re­ tiring president, Mrs. Maude Perkins, in her address at the state W. C. T. U. convention at Battle Creek. These are her words: "This is God's own coun­ try. look where he placed it. all alone by itself, almost surrounded by water. He has riven her work to do and it is to lead other nations right Even now many nations are looking to America for help and want to follow her ex­ ample." Two new members were gained at this meeting. Mrs. Flossie Shupp and Mrs. Chas. Mason. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Elna Olmstead. January 19th. Mrs. Rilla Deller, leader. This is dues day. OPENS NEW DENTAL PARLOR TODAY. Dr. G. N.

Cleo Platt of Charlotte, a deputy sheriff of Eaton county, was fatally shot Friday night by two suspected bandits whom he was attempting to place under arrest. Platt and hi* wife were returning home late at night from a social function, when his atten­ tion was drawn to a car whkh had crashed into a chain In front of an oil station. He started to investigate and became suspicious of the actions of the two men who were with the machine, but as he was taking them to.the county jail he was shot down, one bul­ let entering his abdomen and a second piercing his shoulder. Platt managed to-get to the telephone station. and arouse the night operator, and was given prompt medical attention, but passed away at the Community hospi­ tal Saturday afternoon. Eaton county is offering a liberal re­ ward for the apprehension of the ban­ dits, but they seem to have made good their escape. It has been on easy matter to trace their movements prior to their appearance in Charlotte, but since that time, they have been laying low. Officers are convinced that the murderers ore the same party who had engaged in a rampage of depredations earlier in the week, robbing oil stations and stealing car* at Jackson, I an sing, Eaton Rapid* and Vermontville, and looting the Fowler hardware store at Potterville.

There la nothing that reminds me more of weird ghost stories than does a wind and rain storm, mixed together. One late autumn afternoon when I came home from school the weather seemed not unusual, typical fall weath­ er it was, a sting of frost in the air, do sunshine and a small wind. Twi­ light fell soon after I arrived home and I did not notice the weather out of doors until about seven o'clock. At this time the moon was shining and it seemed a very beautiful night. At about eight o’clock it began to rain. Just a common rain at first, noth­ ing unusual about it at all. It soon changed, the wind began to rise, and I am sure the barometer took an aw­ ful tumble. I went upstairs and got into my bed. I was just about to enter "Dreamland” when a great gust of wind seemed to strike the house with a terrific force. The rain fell harder, faster, in bigger drops. The wind, blowing a somewhat fitful gale, whistled and whined in the pine trees: the windows rattled until it seemed they would crash to the floor in another minute. Then the wind seemed to rest for a moment. I soon found, however, that he had rested only a while, to prepare himself for a harder attack. The rain had now changed into a sort of “rainy Soon, too soon, it seemed another and more forceful wind struck the house, which (I am quite sure it was not imagination) shook in a nervous shiver. A cold sweat broke out upon my forehead and then, it seemed I was burning with an intense fever. The wind seemed to moan and groan like some departed spirit in great pain.

OLIN Authorized Agent for CROSLEY BANDBOX and GREBE SYNCHROPHASE Radios. Jane went before him Into an adjoln'ng room, where he selected two doxen of the cut flowers with stems of varied length. Back in the office he gave the address; wrote a check in payment; and left the shop look­ ing at Ardus Ellington. "That nut’s sayin’ it with polnsettlas, Td say,” remarked Jane, going back to packing the flowers. *Td say a prince instead of a *nut rfWT T WAS December 23; there aB b woald 1x5 * rosh for ChriMt* J mas flowers at the Alpha Floral rooms that day; and the girls were already busy getting the windows cleaned and re­ decorated. “How did Miss Anne say to put these poinsettlas in the east window?" asked Ardus Ellington, who was help­ ing out during the holidays. “The old girl «id 49 graduate them." answered Jane Duncan, who was “regular help" at the shop. “Of course, with you, a college stude, graduate means to turn out—to finish up. That's what I'd like to do with these flowers—finish them. I'm so tired of them." “I'm afraid you don’t love fiowfers," voiced Ardus. “I do.” "You would,” retorted Jane, who liked for everyone to think her so­ phisticated If not depraved. "I like the little old coin I get at the end of the week; and it’s little enough, believe me. But come here, innocent, und Hl show you how to graduate tho posies. Park the shortest ones next the glass, the taller ones next, and so on—like this—" and she placed four plants in to illustrate. “Better water them first, though." Ardus saturated the black sand in the flower pots, and carried other pots from another room while the others drained a bit Miss Anne called from a workroom at the rear, and Jane answered the call, while Ardus worked at the win­ dow. Just as Jane returned with an armload of made-up flowers to box, Henry Von Hagen came into the shop. "I better take him; he’s a regular," said Jane in an undertone; and she deposited the orders on a table. “May I help you, please?" Rhe asked, demurely enough. “Some poinsettlas, I think," swered the man, and Jane led the way to the table where Ardus was working. Henry looked nt the plant Ardus was lifting for the window. He also looked at the girl. “This is a beauty," he said, look­ ing at the girl, though he Indicated the plant ’TH take this one, and these two,” be continued, selecting other plants. "Then I’d like to have some of the cut blossoms—which the botanist tells us aren’t a blossom at all. Beautiful enough, however.” smiled Ardus. "Well, Hl say the way he lamped you would indicate that he'd say •princess' to you, Innocent Why’n’t y'u flirt a bit?" "Who Is he," asked A-dus, ignor­ ing her question.

But who were the flowers for?’ “Gettln’ inquisitive already?" asked the girl, teasingiy. "Well, he's send­ ing them as a Christmas present to his mamma," she said, accenting the last syllable. The conversation was stopped by a customer, and for the rest of the day a busy stream of happy shoppers ran in and out of the shop. Miss Anne was wrapping some poinsettlas for the girls; Aldus se­ lecting some violets for her coat collar; and the Christmas greetings were being exchanged at the same time. Jane exclaimed: "Well, I gotta beat it My sweetie’s takln’ me to the Orpheum tonight Suppose you’re goln’ to one of the big *Y.-W.’ parties that some of the professors’ wives are throwing for the orphan studes?" “Yes, and Pm mighty thankful for a chance to go to a party. ft’s pretty nice, when one must be away from home at Christmas.

Isn’t that thrilling?" •”Twould almost startle a turtle, don’t ya know. Well, good night; don’t do anything I wouldn't.’’ And Jane was gone.

Three candles burned in the center of the big window. "Swrct of Mrs. Julien to burn one , for me along with here and Bob’s,” said Ardus. She wondered what the folks at home were doing. and tried to visual­ Ize every member of the family. Per­ haps they, too, would burn a .candle for her. When rhe became a little homesick, she stroked again and again her shining nails. She stood looking into the center of a huge poinsettia on the table. She remem­ bered a dream rhe hnd had the night before, and that she had not remem­ bered till that minute; but just then an auto horn sounded outside. She hurried Into her coat and tat, pulling on her gloves as she went down the steps. Some one she didn't know was coming tip the walk.

Not only do they balance the more cloying sweetness of plum pud­ ding and hard sauce and after-dinner bon boas, but they represent in them­ selves the observance of the pleasant­ est of old customs. Many of us have seen on the shelve* of confectioners and high-class gro­ cery stores jars and boxes and can* of salted nuts, plump, brown and in­ viting. We have Inquired the price, or even dared to ask timidly for * very small quantity. They were de-, licioua, It’s true, but prohibitive tn price for the ordinary family. Happily nuts can be salted and spiced at home, and those best adapted for this use—peanuts and almonds— are not fabulously expensive, bought In quantity and in condition for home treatment In purchasing nuts, however, wheth­ er shelled or in their shells, insist on being allowed to make sure that they are free from Insect* and Imperfec­ tions. Ascertain ns well as you can whether they are really fresh. Other­ wise your labor will be in vain. If pecans are a favorite in the family. It Is best to buy your supply already shelled, for they are difficult to remon. Peanuts bought for home use should be raw. To blanch your holi­ day nuts, place them in a pan and pour boiling water over them, flow­ ing them to remain in it for two min­ ute*. Then the water is drained away and cold water Is run over them until they are cool. The skin* should then slip off readily. When they are re­ moved the nut* should be dried with a towel. Occasionally nuts, such as Albert* and pistachio nuts, part with their skins rather unwillingly. They will h*ve to take a hot bath of threo to Avs minutes’ duration before their coat* will come off.

We know it will be if the citizens of the village will forget past differences and get into the harness and pull together. We all love Nash­ ville. If we didn’t we would pull stakes and get out of tore. We think Nashville is the best and most home­ like town on the map of Michigan, and we all want to keep it so. There is no reason why we cant. All there is to it is to play the game as we know it should be played. Let us not be sel­ fish and try to live for ourselves alone, tot us give the other fellow a chance to earn his bread and butter. tot those who are able try to help carry the burden of those who are heavy­ laden. Let us wear a smile Instead of a frown; both are contagious. So let everyone of us take a brace, look the world in the face and make a deter­ mined effort to be just a little better citizens in every way than we ever were before. So will we win a great moral victory over our own selfishness and make our community even better than It has been before. ' Pl’THIANS ANTICIPATE „ u A JOLLY’ SESSION. Members of Ivy lodge, No. 37.

That dance was over, and another, and another. The Christmas tree was admired; the mistletoe was found, and put to Its proper use; occasional silences made clear Jhe distant sound of carolers; the clock struck ten— I eleven—twelve.

I IE green glass thing gleaned IdFo}/ like an eye as Olivia took it from Its holly-paper wrap­ pings nnd looked at It riiefully. She had been excited and hopeful about this Christmas gift from Aunt Matilde and It was disap­ pointing—a bit of green glass, gnarled and unlovely. Olivia had never seen her nunt, who was childless, wealthy, yml altogether a likely star In the horizon of a vigorous young artist of a niece. Certainty it was surprising to have received this gift nt all, for the aunt and the artist niece had, heretofore, known little of each other; but— Olivia gathered up the tinsel cords and papers and pranced to her shin­ ing kitchen. Today was the day of her great chance, for Drahelm, decora­ tor of homes beautiful, was coming to tnke tea, and she was looking for a junior partner. Olivia had joys pre­ pared, but the green glass thing was a problem. If Matilde’s card had not promised a visit on thia day of iJ ifc days, the way v' i IR" might have been /j|| IHA easy, although /I I’ll there were few u 1 I ' hiding places I within the little r~' flat. But now the Oi uiust dls" played in all its discordant greenB J Dess. Everything A else was perfect fcTI The sliver twlnkied softly In a f-V polished heap beI side carefully folded linen. Serving trays were ready with a smart array of nuts, and candled violets, and fruits and creams—almost an entire pay­ check’s worth. The glblet salad, sub­ tly suggestive of opulence, was cool­ ing properly In Its mold of aspic jelly, and the rolls were heating piping hot In the little glass-walled oven. Ihe boy left the Ices In tbe back entry and tipped his hat respectfully, very. Olivia's chin went a trifle higher quite without her knowing and the worried little lacy puckers across her fore­ head suddenly turned somersaults, She laughed. She fingered the purse In her pocket, doubtfully; three pen­ nies, exactly, pay day yesterday and the next one—when? Everything was delightfully expensive. But the green thing still grinned on tbe mantle piece. Olivia had a swift, disturbing vision of this aunt whom she had never seen and she made a little grimace at the picture. Oh— that Drahelm and Aunt Matilde should not have to meet. Olivia's rooms were In exquisite taste—soft, warm browns with dashes of Chinese reds and blues that shone on old mahogany and teak, an etched brass bow! on tbe table, a real Maxfield Parrish on the wall between the win­ dow, and—the green glass thing on the mantel—three cents In Olivia's pocket She regarded the glass orna­ ment thoughtfully and wondered If It might have been smashed In the mall, and decided no. Olivia was not a good liar. She considered a headache or a broken leg and thought of the giblet salad and the pickled cantaloupe. The borrowed maid had not ar­ rived, but Madame Drahelm had. Olivia knew by the positive, well-be­ haved way in which the door-bell jingled. .’’What ..can I do? Interior decorator, I, with a green glass thing like that on my mantel piece? Yes, Drahelm will J>e impressed, very. “Tht door-bell rang, again, insistent. Sud­ denly, Olivia knew what she would do. And she would get the coveted position. Drahelm, decorator of homes beau­ tiful, had bright little beady blue ej& that leveled nt once fiercely above her flitting quail of a body. They ap­ proved energetically of the Chinese reds and bines and the polished ma­ hogany and teak, of the etched brass bowl and the Parrish picture, and then they fell on the green glass thing. It had never grinned so boldly from out the lovely room,' an ugly mask in a. DAY BOOKS LEDGERS PENS PENCILS tNKS Etc. Etc.

It was half disgusted, half gratified, with an ap­ praising, impersonal antagonism about It Olivia swallowed the lump In her throat and straightened her shoulder for the battle. She forgot the glblet salad and the pickled cantaloupe. She forgot the little niceties of hostess courtesy. She and Drahelm were two individuals, unclothed by a world of manners, measuring each other, the green glass thing between them. They seemed conscious of nothing more. Olivia broke the taut silence. "It’s lovely, isn’t It?’’ “What?" Madame Drahelm's hear­ ing was excellent. "It's odd. a rare piece. Would you like to see it closer? I'll get IL" “No." "I beg your pardon.” There was a hint of Interest In Draheim’s Inflection, this time, and a relief from monosyllables. "I suppose it's very old," with a shade of sar­ casm. Olivia was glad. She had made Dra­ helm take the offensive. "No," she an­ swered and was sileDL "What then?" "Very new." "I thought so." There was no inso­ lence in Madame Drahelm's tone. She spoke simply. "You're not a good liar, are you?" Olivia was suddenly calm. “No," she said. Then, "Whyr “I supposed you'd hide it or break it." Olivia was off her guard for a mo­ ment. She stared openly. "What?" "I said I supposed you'd break the thing. “Why didn't you? It’s plain, of course; you know it’s hideous." There was a _ ating keenness in her bird-like eyes. Olivia felt IL T his was her test Sbe had no time to wonder; that would come later. Very carefully she chose her wordu, but there was no sugges­ tion of uncer­ tainty, of confu­ sion In her man­ ner. "I’m afraid you are mis­ taken, Madame Drahelm, or per­ haps I am. I be­ lieve that you were interested in my green glass decoration which was a gift to me and the value of which can scarce­ ly be named. Perhaps you thought I wished to sell It to you. I am sorry. You misunderstood me.*’ "I’ll give you fifty dollars for IL" Olivia could have laughed and cried with the knowledge of her power. Sbe had done the impossible. She had suc­ ceeded In selling the green glass thing to Madame Drahelm. Better, she had made Drahelm buy it If sbe had done that’she could sell her services. She knew the position was hers. Sud­ denly the green glass thing became very precious to her. "No,” she said, "I won't sell IL la there anything else I can do for yon*” “Yes." Madamo's eyes twinkled with mirth, now, without appraisement The test was over. "You can be a niece to your Aun£. Matilde Drahelm. The firm needs a resourceful young woman.” Olivia laughed at the green glass thing and it grinned back at her. It was a ni^rry, merry Christmas pres­ ent, truly. The Postoffice Pharmacy E. L.
