At 2:00 p. m. the marching battalion was due to pass (leap-frog) the troops in line and attack. Probably 150 men had dropped under the German shell fire. As they neared the position the fire was so hot that they took shelter behind a knoll. There was a little conference among the officers wherein I suspect someone said. “Damn that Michigan outfit, they always claim more ground than they got the guts to take. If they are in that trench the other side of the hill they are sure Boche prisoners.” it was almost 2:00 p. m. when the shell fire slackened some and Major Hill proposed to advance to the as­ signed position. Lt. Arpin suggested that his company advance first. If they reached the trench the others could safely follow. His suggestion was accepted whereupon Arpin selected a small but courageous group to follow him to the German wire and left the rest of his men In charge of Sergt. Adolph Knuston. If they passed the wire successfully he would signal Knutson to come ahead with the com­ pany. The group advanced rapidly and reached the wire without loss. leader turned to signal his company to advance.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK .By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla.. That the most dependable stores are the ones that Advertise. That you can send your child to these stores, feeling sure that the same attention will be received as jjou would receive. That courteous attention is their motto. That they are known as service That if they deliver, they deliver promptly. That if they do not deliver, they give your order most careful attention and you will not have to lose time in being waited upon. That these merchants realize that competition Li the life of trade and when it comes to good service, goods or prices, they make their competition stephvely. That these reliable stores often have special sales of quality goods. Their ads will tell you when and where they are. You should visit these stores during these sales and get your share of the many bargains offered.

Spain, having suffered more from forest destruction than any other country of Europe, iias recently ap­ propriated S19JOO.OOD for reforestation program to be carried out before the end of 1836. Feed silage a* soon as it is iaken from the Mio, and do not feed it when froeen. Feed dairy cows after milking to prevent the milk from taking up the flavor and odor. A low feed truck that can be pushed in front of the mangers will help greatly in feeding silage. ' If a cow leaves part of her hay or silage or does not clean it up greedily, it is a pretty good sign that she is get­ ting a little too much. It is always good practice to give a cow just a lit­ tle less feed than she care;; to con­ sume A cow will eat from 7 to 20 pounds or more of hay daily, depend­ ing on her size and condition and on the kind and quality of the hay. Much trouble is being '•■' perienced by swine owners through the rather wide­ spread prevalence of necrotic intcritis in hogs, a condition sometimes referredto as necrobaclllosls The ailment is characterized by Inflammation of. the intestine*, causing diarrhea, later an imnairment Jn appetite, unthriftiness, weakness and emaciation. While It may be produced by a specific oragnism a similar condition may be induced through the feeding of Irritating ma­ terial. such as caustic agent* in stock food or medicine and in garbage, and the taking in of foreign matter when feeding on wet dirty ground. Necrot­ ic enteritis originates in practically all cases from filthy cond.tions under which hogs are compelled to. live, and so the disease is .onr that can easily be guarded against through the adoption of sanitary measures in management. Feeding platforms that can be thoroughly cleaned should be used. Many types of oil burners designed csi«cially for home-heating purposes have been placed on the market'withln the last few years. The new method of heating appeals to many home own­ ers because of the relief from uncer­ tainties of coal supply, from furnace attendance, dirt. etc. Oil burners are being applied to all types of heating plants commonly used for home heat­ ing. with varying degrees of success. Investigations of different types of oil burners by the U. S. Department of Agriculture Indicate that they are suit­ ed to the requirements of many home owners on account of their convenience and ease of heat control if, to obtain these advantages, the prospective purcliascr is willing to pay the cost of change and possibly an increased op­ erating cost Before deciding whether a change to oil burning is desirable there should be a thorough under­ standing of the operating character­ istics of different types of oil burners, and of installation and operation costs. Department Circular 405 tells all about the subject and may be had free upon request to the U. S. Department of Ag­ riculture. Washington. D. C. Home-making is more Important than housekeeping, although it usually includes housekeeping as a part of it­ self. “Too often.” an authority on home-management says, “time and en­ ergy consumed in housekeeping have made real home making impossible.” The farm wife as the business partner of the fairner. the manager of the farm home, needs time and energy to think and plan for real home making through cultivation of those qualities of mind and soul which makes her an interesting and attractive companion to her whole family. “INSIDE” INFORMATION Cranberry sauce and Jelly may be used with a meat dish, and cranberries arc available the greater part of the winter. Wet shoes must be dried very care­ fully. When dried too fast and with­ out care shrink and become hard, tight, and out of shape. Street shoes should be oiled with castor oil after being wet. Apply the oil on a piece of cheesecloth lightly and evenly and rub it in well. Straighten the counter, heel. vamp, the toe. and stuff the shoes with crumpled paper to keep the .shape and hasten drying. Set the shoes in a place that is not too warm and let them dry slowly. Never put them close to a hot stove or radiator, pnd do not wear them until they are thorough­ ly drv Work shoes arc oiled or greas­ ed with one of the special waterproof­ ing mixtures recommended ,by the United States Dept, of Agriculture tn Farmers' Bulletin 1523-F. If you have a small quantity of home-grown wool that cannot be sold to advantage it can be made into wool comforters. Select the cleanest of the ! fleece, break it into small pieces and remove any tags or dung locks. Pre­ pare a tub of lukewarm suds made with good neutral soap and soft water. If the fleece is very greasy from 1-2 to 1-3 cup of sal-soda may be added to the tub of suds. An excess of soap or sal-soda or the use of hot water will tend to felt the wool and make it dif­ ficult to straighten out. Handle the wool as little as possible in the water. Do not use a washing machine. Put it through 3 or 4 tuba of suds if necessary'and rinse in several waters. Use lukewarm water every time, and re­ duce the quantity of soap and sal-soda after the first bath. Dip it out of the last rinse, allowing as much water as possible to drain off, and spread it thinly on clean cloth or paper to dry. . preferably in the sun. Straighten it out with woo! or cotton cards, which will remove the smaller bite of trash. Burrs will have to be picked out by hand Arrange the fluffy wool after carding in an even layer between two pieces of cheesecloth, whip the edges together and tack or quilt through both cheesecloth and wool to hold the latter tn place. Make a second cover of pretty washable goods such as cot­ ton challle or sateen. The outer cov­ er may be taken off and washed when necetwary and the wool filling will last for years.

And the smile that 13 worth the praises of earth. Is the smile that shines tiirough tears. Ella Wheeler Wilcox If I were permitted to name the one quality which has won more success, brought more happiness, kept together more homes, cured more illness and kept more people out of the state In­ stitutions than any other three quali­ ties combined I should unhesitatingly say "a sense of humor” . That quality which permits par­ ents to see the bright side of the an­ tics and mischief of their children, that lightens the load that would otherwise weigh so heavily on their shoulders. that permits them to come through the ordeals of everyday life, making good women and true men of the lit­ tle children the Creator has trusted in their hands for moulding. If you have a sense of humor you can get the laugh that will save your nenes and pull you out of the most dishearten­ ing circumstances and misfortunes. Humor not only brings pleasure to yourself, but to everyone who comes 'n contact with you—and best of all. it prevents you from taking yourself too seriously, which means it gives you the same viewpoint as the other fellow. And when you have his viewpoint you are Just naturally going to get along with him and enjoy him. Let us take as our motto: Laugh A Little Bit.. Here's a motto. Just our fit— Laugh a little bit. When you think you're trouble hit. Laugh a little bit. . Keep your face with sunshine lit. Laugh a little bit All the shadows off will flit. If you have the grit and wit Just to laugh a little bit.

Harry Hale, druggist, was the local dispenser of books, which were practically a drug, on the market until the holiday season Roe's "What Can She Do?" and "He Fell in Love with His Wife." were among the best sellers. I fancy if the author were alive today he would have long since atoned for that subdued and spiritless style found in his earlier writings by turning out ••What Cant She Do.” and "He Pell in Love with Anybody's Wife.” Yes. in­ deed. it is sex o'clock in literature, but what are you going to do about it when such fellows as Ben Lindsley keep winding up the clock. Clarence and I were inseparable during the stage of adolescer.se About the only time we were kept apart was when I was confined to the house with the mumps. And even then, he would ride back and forth in front of our window so I could enjoy the thrill he was getting out of his new thirty-six inch bicycle. He always had excellent lessons in all his subjects, but when he ever studied was always a puzzle to me. He had a good many chores to do. and among them was milking the family cow. It was by no means one of those contented cows. It war. impossible to get that critter to stand still until the last tap of the morning school bell Hence. Clarence always had a milktight excuse for being tarty. But to that ease! story. On one Christmas eve, an hour or so before the exercises were to begin at the M E.

Nashville's Newest Industry Making Splendid Progress and Has Bright Prospects for Future. Stockholders to the number of about forty attended the annual meeting of the Agricultural Service company at the offlqe of the factory on Sherman street Wednesday evening of last week, listened attentively to the annual ad­ dress of President S. W. Vollink, the report of the secretary, and Interesting talks by other members of the organi­ zation. The reports were so entirely satis­ factory and prospects for the growth of the concern were so apparent that the stockholders unanimously re-elect­ ed all of the former board of directors, as follows: 8 W Vollink. Walter L. Wallace. C. H. Tuttle. S. W. Brazce. Dr. E. T. Morris and Richard Schillman. The reports showed that the plant­ setting de’-ice being manufactured by the company is arousing country-wide interest and that inquiries are coming in from all sections. Better than that, orders are coming, and much faster than the new machines can be built. In fact, the day before the meeting a telegraphic order, since con­ firmed by letter, for ten machines was received from Seattle. Washington, from a state in which the company had anticipated ‘ but a small amount of business, while many orders are coming in from Florida, New York, and many other states, and the company is not yet in shape to fill orders as fast as they are receiving them. However, splendid progress has been made in systematizing methods in the factory. In working out a system for accounting of factory costs, dies, taps and templets for all machine:, are be­ ing made, to insure uniformity in re­ pair and replacement ports, and ma­ chines are being shipped as rapidly as they can be completed. The factory is rapidly being rounded Into shape for rapid production and it is hoped that In a very short time orders can be tak­ en care of as fast as they come in. Everything at the present time indi­ cates that we were justified when we stated at the time the factory was moved from Hastings to Nashville, that we had utmost faith in the invention snd the Inventor, and that we believed the Agricultural Service company would become a big Institution within o brief time. The company has been somewhat handicapped in getting un­ der full swing by lack of capital, but now that the machine has so success­ fully demonstrated its wonderful abili­ ty to perform what has been claimed for It. and that in all kinds of soils and under the most adverse conditions, money is flowing in for stock and ev­ erything points to Increasing progress. The board of directors held a meet­ ing Tuesday evening, and re-elected the former officers: President. S. W. Vollink: Vive Pres.. Walter L. Wallace: Recretarv. S W. Brazce; Treasurer. C. H. Tuttle. W. C. T. U. The W. C. T. U. met with Mrs. Elna Olmstead January 19th. with a good attendance. Meeting presided over by the president. Mrs Alice Pennock.

Mrs Eunice Hanes took charge of the program Miss Feme Schulze gave two readings. "Heros" and "Hard Luck", that were greatly enjoyed. A piano solo by Vivian Appelman. en­ titled "The Butterfly”, won hearty ap­ plause It feeing the anniversary of prohibition, the eighth birthday, many readings proved that In eight years prohibition had made many improve­ ments in the homes, and that "Home Building, not Home Brewing" mark th. prohibition era.

Their slogan: "Pro- > hlbitlon is the best method of dealing with the liquor traffic" has never been more apt then it Is today." A vocal duet by Mrs. Eunice Hanes and Mrs Elna Olmstead. "As Goes America. So Goes the World", won applause. They were accompanied at the piano by Miss Feme Schulze. Meeting closed by prayer by Mrs. Mead.

WALKER FORTY YEARS AGO THE ORIGIN OF MAN TF YOU read the regions advehte * Ing yon have perhaps come acro&s a series of announcements with a heading. "The Origin of Man.** Not all religious advertising Is tn terestlng. although It should be. hut this particular series arouses curiosity and leads to thinking. The origin of man has been a sub­ ject of discussion and thought ever since the first man began to wonder “Where did 1 come from?" Science has delved deep Into the question, theologians have written libraries about It and the nonbeliever. Id anything but chance, has smiled in a self-satisfied way at the wide diversion of those who would attrib ute and place the real source of man. One thing Is certain. If anything can be certain, man did not HAPPEN. He was not the result of chance. The thirteen elements which are as­ sociated in the flesh and bones and muscles and tissues did not happen to fall together. And if they had by chance come to­ gether It would not account for the bruin, the Intelligence and the power of reason which characterise the hu­ man being above the lower* forms of life The book of Genesis tells us that man was made in tbe Image and like- Spirit The associating of the two state menu would result in the statement that the creation of God was spiritual and not material. Whatever his origin, man is the apex, the pinnacle of all existing things. History Is made up only of what he has done. Science Is made up wholly of what he has discovered. All law Is the summarisation of what he has determined as the right basis of conduct. All revelation consists of what he believes he shall be. Nor does It matter ao much, if at all, from whence we came. You do not ask whether the keystone of the arch was quarried In the valley or on the mountain. You only ask if it be worthy to bear tbe burden put upon It That Is the most Important ques­ tion regarding man. Has he and Is he proving himself worthy of that power of dominion which. If he does aot believe was divinely conferred upon him, he has almost universally assumed? Tbe question Is one which may be applied to mankind as a whole no more justly titan each of us may ap­ ply It to himself. <e St MeClar. Nawapapar Oyndlmta.) Andrew Wright and Elza.

The pigs would grunt and squeal and tell of famous pigs tn the family —pigs who had been splendidly greedy and wonderful eaters! There were stork-* to tell which would make the animals laugh and grin and at times the barnyard was filled with tbe laughter of the barn­ yard animals—such funny laughter aa It la, too. Maybe you have board It at times? Of course, too, at times tbe animals did all aorta of things which would never be forgotten and later on these actions would be described to even younger chick? and turkeys and pigs und ducka. Mrs. White Hen told of the days when she was a bride and how every one admired her wedding feathers and said that they were just suitable, for every one really should have white for a wedding The purrot in the enormous cage on the buck porch squeaked and screamed and yelled at times with merriment for he had lots to say for himself ami lots to retflvmber. The parrot hod. at one time, helped to collect money for n hospital. The money had bwn nettled badly and the parrot had sat up on a balcony And had ebrieked: “We need money. The doctors need money for the hospital. Help tbe doc­ tors. Help the doctors and th> hos­ pital with your money." Every one had looked up and had seen that tbe parrot was making all these cries and K was the parrot who was so successful In raising the funds that were needed. That was a favor­ ite story Id the barnyard, and the par­ rot wax very proud of thut. too. Then the parrot had at one time escaped from the hospital—he had thought it would be rather fun to go off adventuring. And one day he got away and flew up to the branch of a near-by tree, but all be did when there was to cal) for bis doctor friends and they opened hlx cage door so that he was able to go back to safety and his owd real home. , And later ou he had been given to the farmer who owned this barnyard. Yes. the parrot was a splendid par­ rot to have around, so many adven­ tures had be had! So story telling and wonderful deeds had their part In the life of the barn­ yard. And this life in tbe barnyard went along so that every day it seemed that the animate were even happier than the day before. q Daefa. the dog, wax like a private watchman for them, and altogether the barnyard was as jolly and pleas­ ant a place as ever a group of barn­ yard animate could have. And when the barnyard animate heard that not only bad they their stories to tell and to act but that stories about them were being told all about, the pigs grunted, the rooster crowed, the hens cackled, the ducks quacked, and all tbe others chattered In their own peculiar way and said: "Well, we're glad people know of us!

From Ont to last enuugti has been written concerning the mys­ tic qualities of seven to fill a library Lnpton, writing In 1660. says that “It Is manifest by experiment” that sev­ en represents “perfections"; and among the ancients any person or thing with seven attached to It was bound to be of ■ highly mystic sig­ nification. They bad the seventh eon superstition even as we have it and among some peoples the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter was n “natural" prophetess. But leaving aside the arithmancy magic nf the number'seven the con­ nection between the seventh son and the power of healing is clearly trace -able to Apollo. Among other thing* Apollo was tbe gtxf of healing and curried a lyre of seven strings, which strings represented the seven “planets” as known to the ancients, viz; Sun. Moon. Saturn. Jupiter. Mars. Venus, and Mercury. This lyre was Invented by the god Mercury and given by him to Apollo. The ancients .only knew seven metals: gold, silver, copper, tin. iron, lead and qalckrilver. Each metal was supposed to be In some way con­ nected with one of tbe planets Tbe seventh was connected with tbe planet Mercury and came to be known as mercury. Thus the number seven appears to have been distinctively the number of the god Mercury and his planet, which planet was In harmony with the seventh string of the lyre of the god of healing. Apollo. Moreover among the Egyptians Mercury was identified with tbe god Ttiotb who was especially the patron of astronomy and healing. Thus the seventh son of the seventh son may be said to be born spiritually of tbe seventh string of tbe lyre of Apollo the god of henllng, which seventh string was Mercury who. in his Egyptian form of Thoth, was tbe patron of healing. No wonder the seventh son of the seventh son turns out a “natural" doctor. The Kind She Liked Little Margaret was visiting her grandparents tn the country.

When Marvin Creighton reached his father's house that same evening, he found, to bls dismay, all the drive­ ways about the place filled with limou­ sines. A party on? But that was un­ likely. for now that he no longer lived at home, he and his mother valued these Thursday evenings together too much to let anything Interfere with them, This evening he especially wanted to see her alone for the rea­ sons be had accurately, stated to Miss Sehwenckton—he wanted to see the photograph he had asked his mother to unearth and he wanted very much to hear about the English mall she had received. He surmised that lie had probably come in at the tall end of an after­ noon dub meeting—the “Quo Non Aacendas club," probably. Well, he didn’t want to be caught tn that bed­ lam! So he stole In at a aide door and went upstairs to hls own rooms. The familiar sight of hlx bedroom and study, to which he could now come only on brief visits in hlx fa­ ther's absence, depressed him. It all seemed so unnecessary, thin — bitter controversy between him and hla father! Yet It was not a light tktns of recent growth, hut deep-rooted In their esrentfa! differences of tempera­ ment und character and outlook—his father being quite frankly primitive and “human” (ho claimed) in his gos­ pel of self-interest. while he himself was Inherently, unconquerably socially minded. From Ids lx>yhr»od up his fa­ ther had tried In vain to knock out of him his unhmdneM-llke considera­ tion of "the other fellow's point of being unable to live under the same roof. The hardest part of It to Marvin was lite distress It caused his mother. If anything could have made him deny hl« soul It was that. While he freshened up In hlx laitbroonj, reveling In Its conveniences and comforts (there was no bathroom at Abxjitani Puntz’) he wondered how Miss Sehwenckton. who looked so dainty and seemed so fastidious, en­ dured the crude life at Sehwenckton’® • farm. She didn’t fit Into the picture. He knew the party must‘break up soon, for it wus nearly dinner time and moat o'f these people had several' miles to drive: and a few empty cups j and saucers about tbe hall which the j servants bad overlooked told him they had already had tea. How did his mother, -comparatively intelligent, stand that crowd? And yet. how else would she fill her life, emptied, through her great wealth, of the wholesome necessity to work? Su­ perfluous wealth was a joy-killer .as surely us poverty. The visitors were gone at last and Marvin went downstairs to take his mother Id hls arms. It was coxy having his dinner alone with hls mother; and the taste and comforts of hls home, after hls dose of Absalom Puntz* menage, were cer­ tainly soothing. “Father thinks a dose of plain living will cure me!” Marvin smiled as he helped himself to fillet of steak and mushntoms the butler was passing. “On the contrary. living at Absalom Puntz’ has made me realize, as I never did before, how much unnecessary lux­ ury we have here, which I always took for granted, not knowing any other way of life. So this throwing me out on my own Is Just having the opposite effect of whut he Intended it to hare." “I don't like to think of your living In such discomfort, dear," hls mother answered, “though you're not looking any the worse for it! But how in the world do you stand their food?” “It’s good. I wnlk about tbe coun­ try so much that anything tastes good. I'm getting to like sauerkraut and boiled beef and cabbage! Bully! And fried ponhaiis! And even smearca.se!" “Imagine St. Croix eating at the table with those Puntzes!” Mrs Creighton smiled. “Sauerkraut and smearcase nnd ponhaus!" "It's not their food so much as the way they eat It that ‘krelstles’ me. Know what ’kreistles' means? Of course you don’t. Means disgust, rubs me the wrong way. gets my goat 1. can't watch them ent; they are too darned Industrious about It." "Marvin, I want to ask you some­ thing—I’m worried. St. Croix is phi­ landering. I’m afraid, with a very com­ mon girl and I do dread what can come of such entanglements. It’s so imprudent! You get about the coun­ try so much I thought perhaps you had heard or seen something of It, have you? Do you know who the girl Is?" “No," Marvin responded gloomily, hls heart sinking; that car of hls brother's near the William Penn school and Miss Sehwenckton pretend­ ing she had remained in school to work when she had been out on tbe road—and that weird buslneas ot her changing her clothes—“How did you bear of it. Mother?” "The girl sent a box of fudge here to the bouse for him. with a verse written on the wrapping paper—tbe poetry being as home-made as the passed and angry I knew he must be Involved rather deeply—and I've been worried !" “What makes you conclude. Mother, that she's a 'common' girl?” “Her poetry ! Ton'll mebby think It ain't so mutch. But tn one piece I put a Um. Marvin laughed Joyfully—the author of that was not Miss Sehwenckton! “St Croix certainly takes hta chances, playing 'round with one of these Pennsylvania Dutch girls! First thing he knows he’ll have a lawsuit on hls hands. But I think," he tried to comfort hls mother, '“we may al­ ways bank on St. Croix’ playing safe.

Well, so am I! Go on—what’s yours?" "You know that for months St Croix has been planning to go to Eng­ land to see Lady Sylvia—and. Mar­ vin, they keep holding him off! Theirlatest letter says Lady Sylvia has gone abroad. Now. of course they've no money to let her travel at»out the con­ tinent, so I’m sure she must have taken a position as traveling compan­ ion or governess.

But let's not go so fast. About the girl's being *abroad.' now— perhaps It’s here, tn America, that she has come to earn her living 1" Mrs. Creighton looked startled. . “What makes you think that?

We were married in 1915 and nave one child, Jonn Auric (commonly called Jack), a stripling of Alter rounding out 8 years of service Mountain. I decided to accept J'^onTre at the Sault, as head of the department of science. Here I have been located for the past 10 yearu So you see that I am a sticker and hard to get rid of. _ From time to time I attended the suS iS^ns of *eJlniver^ytf Michigan and hold the Masters degree from the latter institution. Here I find myself a sort of Jack of All Trades. My main business of course is teaching chemistry and phy­ sics. The following duties have been wished upon me as time went on. Caretaker of the schools electric clock system, and of the clock and telephone hatterv system; analyst in charge of UpurityTtiwwater in the swlmmingPpJr’.: City chemist; Circuit Court chemist; bacteriologist tor the Soo Creamery' and Produce Co., and State Babcock Tester's Examiner. In addi­ tion one must be a sort of community­ handy man and source of ready refer­ enceespecially along scientific lines Like the majority of the Upper Pe­ ninsula towns the Sault lias on excel­ lent school system The first 6 grades are taken care al by 6 ward KtooU scattered thru the town. .^-Senior high school is valued at $400,000. It contains an auditorium seating over 1300; a gymnasium 75 x 125 feet; and a swimming pool 60 x 20 feet. The pool is located between the boys' and girls’ locker and shower rooms so that it can be conveniently used by either the boys or the girls swimming classes The water is filtered and chlorinated continuously so that It is clear and sanitary at all times. One of the re­ quirements for graduation is that the pupil shall be able to swim the length of the pool. Our high school enroll­ ment is 640 pupils and the junior high enrollment is 350 pupils. The Sault has just completed a new Manual Arts building at a cost of something like $90,000. Here the boys are taught mechanical and architect­ ural drafting, lath and pattern mak­ ing, and cabinet work. Automotive mechanics and printing will probably be added in the near future. A new $200,000 Junior High build­ ing is nearLug completion and will be ready to occupy in a few months more. With the completion of tills building the Sault win have as good an educa­ tional plant as any town in the state. So much for that. Now I will try to give you something of more interest, something about the place in which I live. Boult Ste Marie. Mich., is a town of about 14,000 inhabitants It is noted chiefly lor its locksand beautiful parks. bine locks are over a quarter of a mile long between gates, or 350 feet longer than those at Panama. During the 8 months of navigation over 3 times as much material is carried thru the locks here as passes thru the Panamr. canal in 12 months The two leading industries of the American Sault arc the Union Carbide Co. and the Northwestern Leather Co. The latter company turns out over 450.000 sides of leather each year, while the former company uses some 40.000 horsepower of electrical energy In its huge electric furnace.;. The Michigan Northern Power Co., which rmppUes power for the Carbide furfcontlnued on page fl> More than 10,000 Farmers' Week vis­ itors, a new nigh attendance record, was the estimate made at M. S. C. at the close of the annual agricultural conference last week. Increased interest and Increased at­ tendance were evident in most in­ stances in both the group and general meetings held during the week. For the first time in the history of Farmmers' Week, a building large enough to house the huge crowds comfortably was available. The new demonstration iiall accommodated all of the general meetings this year, as well os the more extensive exhibits. Outstanding agricultural authorities engaged to address Farmers' Week meetings, for the most part, pointed to a more optimistic future for agriculure, especially along the lines of dairy­ ing and livestock production. Atten­ tion was called to the latest discoveries in the line of modern and efficient farm practices resulting from research and experimental work by college special­ ists. Meetings of 35 farmer’s associa­ tions were held during the week, in ad­ dition to special programs staged by the departments of the agricultural di­ vision of the college. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

FURNISS THE HIXAU. ATOKA $3.98 CALEY’S " Groceries Phone No. 9 Dry Goods THE O. K. LAUNDRY CO « Of Battle Creek has established a First Class Truck Service for Barry County, with Mr. John G. Gould of Hasting in charge, Pick-ups Mondays and Wednesdays---deliveries Thursdays and Saturdays—Service Days for Hastings, Freeport, Nashville and Vermontville. Call Nashville Phone 17, and the truck will pick up and deliver your laundry parcels. The O. K. Laundry Company of Battle Creek has established a branch agency in Barry County, with Mr. John G. Gould in charge, t.e pro­ pose to give the people of Barry County a REAL LAUNDRY SER­ VICE at very reasonable prices. 2nd—We know that “mass production” with the best and latest equipment Is the ideal method of combining efficiency and low cost of operation, and*at the same time give patrons high quality ser­ vice. Inasmuch as many readers of The News may not be familiar with the O. K. Laundry Company, of Battle Creek, we want to tel! you something aboqt it. 3rd—With modem methods of transportation. Battle Creek is only 30 or 40 MINUTES FROM NASHVILLE. We built our plant large enough so that we can give to the people of Barry County practical­ ly the same quick and satisfactory Service that we give the people of Battle Creek. The Laundry Business is OUR Business. We like It; have faith In it and feel that we can render a real service in extending it We recently completed our NEW Laundry plant 140 feel long, 120 feet wide, and equipped it with the VERY LATEST machines, all motor driven. When our plant was completed and equipped we had OVER $200,000 invested in plant and equipment There isn't a more com­ plete plant in the country. In view of the keen competition in the T-mwjry Business, this is a considerably larger plant than the city of Battle Creek could keep busy. Now. WHY did we spend such a large sum of money in plant and most modern equipment? There are several reasons:— 1st—We KNOW the Laundry Business "from A to Z,” have had years of experience in it, and we like it We have such FAITH in the business that we built our big new plant so that it could be added to —and we believe that with the SERVICE we are prepared to give that that time will be here sooner than we expect More and more "mass production" is changing the affairs of the home. For instance, “Bake Days" used to be looked forward to with dread by the housewife. Now, “mass production" in bakeries enables her to buy her baked goods for as low a cost as she would be able to buy the materials and do ber own baking. to-date Laundry like ours. Many women have broken down under the strain and hard work of "Wash Day." By building this big Laun­ dry and equipping it as we have, we save the housewives all the Housecleaning time is not so far away. We make a specialty of laun­ dering Curtains. We guarantee our work, and that when the Cur­ tains are returned to you they will be EXACTLY the same size they were when they reached us. One of them will not hang “way down" and the other "way up.* LADIES—You Need Have No Fear About Losing the Goods in Our Care, As Every Article Is Insured.

This great gift comes packed in a coffer of carved ivory—sometimes a lit­ tle too solid—provided with five ways In. but with only two leading out. This is for a sign and a token that the pro­ portion of expression to Impression shall be as two to five. The carven coffer refills itself con­ stantly. like the widow's cruse, through taste and touch, through eyes, ears and nose. Ii empties only through the wagging tongue and pen-guiding fingers. Who would keep his coffer al wavs well filled must set a watch upon these two exits. And then it shall profit him to pour knowledge in through every one of the five ways, so that at length, he may make wise and discreet use of it. The Use is the thing, after all.

Dear Mrs. Cross: I have your very kind letter of Janu­ ary 23d. and I have, also, noted in the last copy of the Nashville News your invitation to me to give you something concerning myself, generally. I think perhaps LeRoy Perkins is correct in suggesting that the 1905 class arc. nat­ urally, very retiring and modest about themselves and possibly that accounts for not having heard from many of us before. Those of the “Grads" and readers of The News who are interested in the economic conditions of the Nation, have observed of course, that the great state of Montana is the only one of all the states which has been a complete White Spot on the Economic plat for the last four successive months. Mon­ tana has had her troubles it Is true but much that has been said about Mon­ tana was based on false premises. For instance, the famous Garrett Garrett who wroURthe destructive article about Montana some years ago in the Satur­ day Evening Post, when recently in this state was asked what he thought of the state and in his reply he admit­ ted he was entirely "confounded." As most of you know I have been out here during the period of the really wonderful growth and development of our state and I fear the story is too long; however you can cut out any of it that you wish to and it will be per­ fectly satisfactory to me. I taught school in Michigan two years after graduation from the Nash­ ville high school and then entered the Law Department of Michigan, graduat­ ing with the elate of 1910. Quite soon after my graduation in the summer of 1910 I came to the state of Montana: was admitted to the Bar here and have resided continually in Montana since that time. I first located in the practice of law as an associate with the present Judge of our district, F. P. Lei per. in the city of Glendive. Montana; at that time Montana was Just opening up to the homesteaders of the nation, and people of every occupation known, came to Montana to get some of its free land as homesteaders There were more every­ thing else in the first settlement of the state, than there were farmers; hence some of the results that came to the state were inevitable, and as true of every pioneer state—the second group of settlers have had to bring about the real development of the state What has happened is so remarkable in the past 17 years that it hardly seems be­ lievable For instance soon after I reached the state of Montana I took a trip of 80 miles out of Glendive, and we encountered but two fences on that trip; paid no attention to section lines and followed a trail that went direct to our destination We saw several herds of beautiful antelope gracefully moving over the prairie, and saw many bands of sheep with as many as M.000 in a band. All of that territory is now traversed by railroad and is cov­ ered with improved farms and is a ter­ ritory which is contributing substan­ tially to the feeding of the nation In the spring of 1111 I came to Sid­ ney and opened my law office. Sidney was at that time a little town of about 300 people, without a railroad. Today it has a population of 2200. with branches of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern running into the town and a branch out of Sidney to Richey 65 miles west; 66.000 acres under ir­ rigation center here, and three years ago the Holly Sugar Corporation built n $1,500,000 sugar factory, here; we, al­ so. have a fine Occident flour mill that employs about 30 or 40 people the year around There are a great many things I might tell you about the agricultural development of the state but space forbid* (Continued on last page.) Highly pleasing to the people of Bar­ ry county was the news released at Lansing Tuesday to the effect that Governor Green had appointed At­ torney General W. W. Potter to a place on the bench of the Supreme court, to fill the vacancy caused by the death last week ol Judge Bird. The news of the appointment was particularly pleasing to the people of Maple Grove township, where Mr. Pot­ ter was bom. and to the people of Nashville and vicinity, because we knew “Bill” Potter as boy and young man. knew of his sterling qualities, of his keen mind, his energy, ids aggresiveness and his extraordinary capa­ bilities. His career from boyhood to his attainment of the position of at­ torney general of the state has been watched with pleasure by a host of liis friends, and his present advancement to the supreme bench meets with their hearty approval. In thus attaining the pinnacle of his life's ambition Judge Potter also brings Joy and pride to his father. Capt. L. B. Potter of this village, who last week celebrated his 90th birthday, and to other relatives in this community. W. W. Potter was bom In Maple Grove township March 1, 1869. He was educated in the public schools, later being graduated from the normal school at Ypsilanti. After teaching school for several years he took up the study of law. was graduated from the law department of the University df Michigan and took up the practice of law at Hastings, which has since been his home. He was for many years a partner of Judge Philip T. Colgrove in the firm of Colgrove <fc Potter. He served the county as prosecuting at­ torney for several terms and was lat­ er elected state senator from this dis­ trict. making an outstanding record as a fearless and able legislator. In making the appointment of Mr. Potter. Governor Green said: "The loss of the advice and counsel of Mr. Potter as attorney general is almost irreparable. It is an extremely pleasant thing for me to tender him the appointment, however, because I know I am doing the right thing. Mr. Potter possesses the character, the Ju­ dicial temperament and knowledge of the law required in a Justice to as great an extent as any man in Michi­ gan. In addition to these qualifica­ tions he has earned this promotion by reason of the outstanding service he has performed for the people of Mich­ igan while working many years in po­ sitions that, while important, did not carry with them adequate comix*nsatlon."

' BUSINESS NEWS Nashville was certainly fortunate when the Chamber of Commerce pre­ vailed upon the Agricultural Service company to move here from Hastings, for it gives great promise of becoming a rapidly growing institution. Inquir­ ies are being followed by many orders. It must be taken into consideration that when the company moved here their plant-setting machine was in the embryo, and while they had a demon­ strating machine that would actually do the work for which it was planned, it was a very crude affair which needed a lot of rebuilding and refinement be­ fore it was ready for market. Much of the time since the plant was started here has been taken up with this work and in the development of various oth­ er types of the machine. When the company decided to come here, along in the summer, the build­ ing which houses the plant had to have many alterations and it was naturally some time before the machinery could be set and things got into motion. There has not been time to get out any catalogues, descriptive circulars, or other advertising of any kind for the machine, and there has been no ad­ vertising done. In fact, the first ad­ vertisement the company has ever or­ dered will be published this month In the national magazine of the market growers’ association. In spite of all these handicaps. Inpuiries and orders have been coming in and the plant is now a very busy place. The first production order to go tlirough the factory was one of fifteen I predict that the time will be very short machines of the power type.

ANNUAL MEETING The members of the Nashville Co­ operative Company held their annual meeting at the community hall last week Wednesday with a fair attend­ ance considering the condition of the roads. The meeting was called to or­ der by President Gardner. The sec­ retary-treasurer’s report showed a very substantial gain in the amount of business done over the previous year, a gain of ten decks ’ of stock being loaded out. The financial statement of the affiairs of the company were verified by L. C. Nielson, certified Public Accountant' of Battle Creek, who sec up in very minute detail the finan­ cial standing of the association, the capital stock and surplus being practi­ cally the same as a year ago. and also everything considered, the handling expense was the lowest since the or­ ganization of the company. One new director was elected. Bert Trautweiri was chosen to succeed Jesse Gar linger who declined to serve another term. The remainder of the board as It stood was unanimously re­ elected to serve another year. The board now stands L. D. Gardner, Chester Smith. E. H. Lathrop, T. J. Mason. A. J. Miller, Bert Trautwein and E. D. Olmstead, who met Tuesday afternoon and re-organized as follows: PresldenU-L. D. Gardner. Vice President—Chester Smith. Scc-Treas—E. D. Olmstead. Manager—A. J. Miller. C. L Glasgow was at Detroit last week attending the annual meeting of the Michigan Retail Hardware Deal­ ers’ association of which he is presi­ dent. The association numbers a great majority of the dealers in the state and Is one of the state's out­ standing mercantile organizations. This year’s meeting -was one of the most successful the organization has ever held and besides business sessions of great value to the members, there were many fine entertainment features. Mrs Glasgow accompanied the senator. Jacob Miller, who came last week from Grand Rapids for a visit here, had a slight stroke Friday about noon, but had recovered somewhat by Sunday so that he went home with his daugh­ ter to Grand Rapids, to remain dur­ ing his convalescence. Mrs. Grace Perry, the daughter, and Fred Miller from near Hasting- were both called liere by vhe condition of their father. The Castleton school will present the comedy.

There's a little mountain valley, That in my dreams I see, Where nature in its beauty It beckons unto me. There the songbirds are a singing. And so quiet peaceful seems. Tls ofttimes there I wander— In this valley of my dreams. There a little babbling brooklet Thru this valley, winding, winding. On its journey to. the sea. Thru the trees the shimmering maon light Sheds a mystic, sflv'ry gleam. As along its banks I wander— In my slumbers when I dream. Now, when my journey's ended An<kl walk this earth no more. Antfgo to Join the loved ones Over on that other shore, Down by tiiat babbling brooklet. Where the golden sunlight gleams. Tls there I hope they'll lay me­ in this valley of my dreams. —Chas. H. Raymond. BELIEF IN CONTINUED PROSPERITY JUSTIFIED. Herbert Hoover, in his report for the fiscal year 1927. declares that the rate of real wages in the United States during that period “remained higher than anywhere else in the world, or in any other time in world history." He declares that this high level of prosperity was the result of a general and permanent progress, bused on sound fundamental-, giving reason for the belief that satisfactory conditions will continue. Industry has made great strides in efficiency, accompanied by the main­ tenance of high wage levels without rise in price levels. There has been steady development in transportation facilities, and we l»ave maintained a commanding position in foreign trade, while the financial structure of the country is In a sound condition. Altogether, Secretary Hoover's report shows that the country Is in a satis­ factory condition On the other hand, ft points out sufficient "low spots” so that we should not become careless through overconfidence. The fisherman who keeps right on fishing and who doesn't rock the boat is the fellow who brings in the good catches. As a nation, we should fol­ low this plan. Sore Throat Is Dangerous Thoxine Relieves Quickly. Don't neglect sore throat—it of­ ten leads to tonsllltis, scarlet fever or diphtheria.

WALKER CO-OPERATION • T IS a common thing to regard the forty year* passed by the Children of Israel In their wanderings a* so mneb .punishment inflicted on them for their sins. To take this view Is to overtook the Deceaaary past that that experi­ ence had,’ in turning them from a mob Into an organised, woiM*ratlve nation. O. II. Mlckel, in the inland Printer. suggests as “the truth about Moses” that the great lawgiver did not lead the Children of Israel “out of the wil­ derness.” On the contrary, he kept them “in the wildnerness.” for the wilderness was what they needed. I The Israelites had been softened by a long period of Egyptian servitude. Their spirits had heen broken by hav­ ing to make bricks without straw and all sorts of indignities. If they had been led straight to the Land of Canaan, they would have had to face the Ammonites, the Hittites and a dozen other well-disciplined and warlike tribes, prepared to defend their land flowing with milk and honey, with al! the resources of their civilization. By the time that Joshua took over the direction of affairs' from Moses, a great change had taken place. The people had been made strong by a strenuous environment of mountains and deserts by proofs of Divine tavof and direction. The generation that had known the brickyards, the fleshpots and the Idols of Egypt had passed away. In Its place was a hardy army of men. who hud learned how to-flgbt. who were a match for the Canaanites and were ready for the fidflllment of their destiny. But not only were they flt to con­ quer the promised land, they were also fit to establish a strong central­ ized government with definite tribal rights, when they had taken posses­ sion. For It was hi the course of the forty years In the wilderness that they received the Mosaic c<Me, which put them in n position of superiority to all tlu* other p^vple In that part of the world. It is no wonder that throughout the following centuries the recollection of those forty years was never out of the minds of the rulers, the prophets and the poets of the nation. In *11 this there is a lesson for the rest of tiie world. There is no short cut to any promised land for indi­ viduals or for the nation. Every man and every nation des­ tined to amount to anything must gn through the wilderness. That is the only way that they can be made flt for what Is before them. Above all that is the way co-operation i* learned. 50c Jonteel Face Powder .. 39c 50c Jonteel Vanishing Cream 39c 25c Jonteel Soap ... Rexolive Soap. 3 tor Jonteel Talcum ....

But you can’t possibly—but what n earth makes you think Marvin wants to—" She pulled herself up with a Jerk; if she were not careful he would realize that there was no least need for his paying her that bribe! "Oh. If it’s Marvin you mean." she rattled on. “then 1'11 re­ consider! I don't think I can sign away Marvin! Or. if I do, that'll really cost you something! Marvin is really worth something!" “You’re mistaken. He’s worth the puny salary he makes—fifty-six hun­ dred dollars a year. Not a dollar more." “I know—I didn't mean that kind of worth.

And ft was at the very moment of her receiving these that again the sound of a car stopping outside inter­ rupted them. “He’s come back again," said Mr. Creighton bitterly, “in the hope that by this time Td be gone! You have played your game well!" “And this time,". she answered blithely, her bead bent to listen. “though your car Is still again.* Little did they dream that the first car that had stopped and then driven on had carried away Mrs. Creighton, who, the moment she had recognised her husband’s car parked nearby, had been startlingly convinced that Mar- vin’s fantastic suspicions of a plot between his father and Lady Sylvia Sr. Croix was not after all fantastic! For what else in the world could bring her husband tn the schoolhouse? She hud decided, after a moment's debating with herself, not to Intrude upon their conference. She would let Mun in know, when she saw him on Thursday, what she had discovered. It was ho evident that he was deeply interested in the girl—was his Interest too deep to be turned to aversion by the fact that she was Lady Sylvia St Croix and In league with his father to intrigue him Into marrying her?—as be had declared such a fact would dis­ gust him! A half hour after sire had driven away, Marvin, driving out toward Ab­ salom Puntz', felt, as he drew near William Penn schoolhouse, that that spot was fast becoming to him the pivot on which his whois universe turned! As he came nearer, the sight of a car standing before the little building made his heart sink like lead in his breast. Was Miss Schwenckton hav­ ing a rendezvous again with St Croix? As soon, however, as ho was near enough to recognize the car, he saw, to his startled surprise, that It was not St Croix*, but bis father's! Instantly he was convinced, Just as his mother had been, that his suspicion of a col­ lusion between “Miss Schwenckton" and his father, to entrap him Into a marriage, had been well founded. He did not. with his mother’s deli­ cacy, decide not to intrude upon them. On the contrary, he lost not a moment In parking, alighting, and striding straight Into the schoolhouse to con­ front them—his heart and brain in a whir!. At the sound of his approachinc step they had stepped down from the platform. Mr. Creighton’s face stern as the Judgment day, Miss Bchwen-kton’s as Interested as If she were in a theater seeing a play, as they stood looking expectantly toward the door. Marrin’s long stride halted at sight of them. "Well?" his father peremptorily In­ quired. "What are you doing bars?" “My duty as the county superintend­ ent. Earning my salary." “An easy, pleasant way to earn it— calling after work on your young, teachers I” "rm here spuch oftoner during school hours." answered Marvin, won­ dering whether this tone of displeas­ ure were assumed and why. “You wished to see me about some­ thing. Mr. Creighton?” Miss Schwenckton addressed Marvin composedly— the elder Creighton recalling that she had spoken of him us “Marvin." “Only to investigate," replied Mar­ vin. “why, at this hour, your school Is still open.” "You needn’t try to bluff me, Mar­ vin!" his father frowned. “I know all about ft! You’ve come here to keep an appointment with this young woman!* "I was not aware of It!" "I tell you," his father indignantly insisted, “you needn’t try to humbug me! I caught her in the very act of waiting for you!" Marvin looked perplexed. "Welt, if you did, why on earth should yow (apparently) be blaming me for that?* “When I show you what I have here—" But as his father snatched from his breast pocket a folded paper.

In spite, however, of the sick recoil he felt from tier for departing with that five thousand dollars, the sight of her schoolhouse when he drove past it, now occupied by her efficient, in­ formed and uninteresting successor, gave him a pang that every day grew sharper; a restless longing that was In. danger of increasing to an Insa­ tiable hunger. St. Croix, meantime, had just about reached a stage where he was on the point of defying prudence and trying to see Meely once more; and Marvin was contemplating the probable folly and futility of his asking his board for a leave of absence to go to Hollywood, when a cablegram which their mother received Just at this time from Eng­ land diverted them somewhat from their absorption in their own misery. Tlie cablegram was from Mrs. Creighton’s cousin. Sir John St. Croix, announcing that his daughter. Baron­ ess Sylvia St Croix, would sail for America on the Berengnria on Janu­ ary 2 for a short visit to her American cousins. She could be Identified at the boat by a handkerchief tied on her left wrist. This news threw the family Into some excitement. St. Urolx volun­ teered to go to New York to meet the ship. He. however, demanded of Mar­ vin that he leave him a clear field. “I can at least safely promise you," raid Marvin, "thnt I'll keep out of it unless—until." he corrected himself, “she turns you down.” Ask our Manager for Suggestions on various = Lenten Dishes OKS---------------------------------------------------------------- OKS Macaroni or Spaghetti Sultana Tuna Fish 3 Campbell* Beans or Tomato Soap J cans p*r« can Blue Peter Sardines Wet Shrimp Crab Meat Medium Red Salmon can can can VHfrcan 25c I9c 25c 15c 17® 39c 17® Grandmother99— £3* Delicious!

Croix’ longing for Meely was never for a moment associated in bls mind with the Idea of marriage. It did not In the (east dampen the zest with which he went to New York to meet—as he confidentially hopeu and believed—hls prospective bride. This would be a marriage so exactly to his taste’—allied to an old English fam­ ily of rank, administering a distin­ guished old estate that for generations had been in the family. His expedience with girls gave him no reason to doubt that he would flnd favor with hls noble kinswoman. So. It was with a complacent self-confi­ dence that, well-groomed and clad in hls smartest clothes, he stood on the wharf on the afternoon of the arrival of the Berengarla and with tense ex­ pectation watched the passengers file past him down the gnng-plank—hls eyes searching for a young girl with -j handkerchief on her left wrist.

LOCAL NEWS Approximately 207 arrests and about tbe tame number ol convictions of dealert, operating without proper li­ cense ar, required by law. and others trading in illicit furs have been re­ ported by the Law Enforcement Di­ vision of the Conservation Department m> far during the present fur season, according to George R. Hogarth. Act­ ing Director. The 1927 Legislature passed on Act (No. 185) which requires all persons, firms and corporations engaged in the business of selling or dealing in the lure, hides, and pelts of fur-bearing animals to procure from the Conser­ vation Department a license to oper­ ate. All moneys received from the sale of such licenses go to the game and fish protective fund. Fees are set at from one dollar far a local resident fur buyer's license to fifty dollars for a wholesaler's license. A fee of fifty dollars for a non-resident dealer is required, while a resident traveling li­ cense costs ten dollars. "For the most part." says Mr. Ho­ garth, "the majority of persons en­ gaging in the fur Industry promptly secured licenses, and have kept them­ selves clear from charges of handling Michigan fur on which there is a clos­ ed season, while some have had to face judges and pay heavy fines for being delinquent before they believed that the Department intends to strictly en­ force the law. There is no excuse for handling Illicit fur in Michigan.' nor no sound reason why the renewal of annual licenses should be delayed." "Bootleg" fur dealers have found when arrested that hair-splitting tech­ nicalities. flimsy excuses and cunning methods of operations don't work. Buying < illicit furs, sending them to some “fence" in a near-by state rtnd having them shipped back to Michigan as “Ohio" or “Wisconsin” pelts, and other equally dishonest methods have been discovered and stopped. Fear was expressed some time ago by certain members of the Michigan Fur Dealers Assn, that the Depart­ ment’s order closing the trapping sea­ son on mink nnd muskrats until March 1929 would tempt dealers in bordering states to handle Michigan furs, and thus create unfair competition for law­ abiding Michigan firms. To prevent this, the Department immediately di­ rected. not only District and local Con­ servation Officers of the state to take extra precaution, but the Federal of­ ficers in the Michigan district as well, and assured the fearful’ members of the Association that the Department would exercise every means within its power to prevent such trading. Michigan fur is comparatively easy to distinguish from other fur. many dishonest dealers have found, to their sorrow, expense and revocation of their license and forfeiture of their one thousand dollar bonds as required by law. and some have lost valuable furs that have been confiscated by the Department. Once arrested and convicted, adverse publicity and loss of reputation among legitimate fur dealers makes "hard sledding’’ for the person or firm who expects to further engage in what the Department of Conservation and hon­ est dealers intend shall be a reputable business. Whole-hearted cooperation on the part of local and county law enforcement officials is an indication that citizens throughout the whole state frown upon violations of game, fish and fur laws. If the .Depart­ ment's policy of “eternal vigilance" can bring so many arrests in so short a time, and if legitimate trappers and dealers will lend their assistance, .“bootleg" fur business in Michigan will be reduced to the very minimum, and trappers and buyers of out-of-season animals and pelts and procrastinating license purchasers will move on to "easier territory."

Just why our brains were placed in the same category with an egg is more than I can figure. I am positive there were no school chickens parading around showing their drumbstlcks, neither were there any hardboiled school shleks. What has all this got to do with the debate you might ask. Well, It was a fire-water debate, and that In the language of Hiawatha means Booze. Come to think of it, I believe Long­ fellow got that particular Redman in­ toxicated over Laughing Water. Our evening literary program was open to the public and occasionally a parent would drop in.

WeB, on the even­ ing in question, there staggered into the school house, by mistake, one of those so-called horrible examples. For the nonce, he was the cynosure of all eyes. There was a round of titters— those restrained kind of laughs accom­ panied by a queer look of the countenence. Instead of the fellow staggering out. he took a seat and made himself one of those present. Hls behavior was perfect As the debate warmed up. he proved himself a regular cheer leader in the applauding of the various speakers. I was afraid when Noah and Ills ark was brought out he might imagine he was seeing some of the an­ imals and try to make hls escape from the room, but he didn’t. He remained until the show •was over. Some of the boys asked him to come again, and he did. He did not come by mistake eith­ er. I hold no brief for the liquor traffic.

NASHVILLE COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR ASS’N PHONE 1 NASHVILLE SPRINGTIME. Already there are many signs of ap­ proaching spring, although officially it Is not due to arrive until March 21. Spring is the season of reincarnation, rejuvenation and radiant life. It is only to man that January 1 represents the birth of a new year and the calen­ dar year is an artificial structure. With plant life and that of the lower ani­ mals the coming of spring is at once the birth of a new year and new life. Humanity recognizes and speaks of a new year as from January 1 but nevertheless observes it from the first breath of spring. After the departure of the drear and stifling winter and with the coming of refreshing and magnetic spring there is new life and new hope created in the breasts of men and women. Spring brings great plans and high resolves which only winter can demolish or deter. It Is not sufficient to say that the homing instinct Is convenient In the spring. It Is natural and not to be gainsaid by man or beast. Spring urges the bird to build its nest, the animal to burrow into its mother earth and man to plan his home, but neither bird, beast nor man knows nor asks why. Spring is the one and only ir­ resistible force.

Glasgow THEY ALL CALL HIM “AL." Alton J. Hager, a boy who worked his way through the Nashvihe schools and later learned the lumber business in yards at Vermontville. Charlotte and Bellevue, is now one of the big men of Lansing. the head of the Hager-Cove Lumber Co., and an all-around live wire, who has done and Is doing his full share in the upbuilding of the capitol city. When the Lansing chamber of com­ merce, which has been more or less just a name for a number of years, was rejuvenated a couple of weeks ago the live ones of Lansing decided the new organization needed a new head, and very naturally It was “Al" Hager who was picked out. not to grace the position, because they had plenty of that, but to shoulder the load and put the chamber of commerce at work. And work it will, as long as Alton Hag­ er is at the head of it chamber of commerce game. To like a game is to play it hard. "Go forth thl» day tlancs, with ■ keen relish for and ap­ preciation of cverythins beautiful, great and good, but with a temper so genial that the friction of the world shall not bear upon your sensibilities." And along the same lines comes the Lansing Capitol News with the follow­ ing editorial comment' Al Is chosen president of the reor­ ganized Chamber of Cominerce. Al is a man to whom everyone might truly say, "You know me, AL" For it is a fact that Al Hager knows every- SOUPS HERE there are growing chil­ dren. and In fact where there are aged members of the family, soup* especially the nourirhlng kinds are Invaluable.

Here is a soup which will “stay by" and make a full meal with bread and butter: Cream of Potato Soup. Scald a quart of milk with a slice of onion. Cook two or three potatoes, according to size, until soft; mash, add one-half cupful of cream or two teblespoonfuls of butter.

IRVINQ KINQ KEEPING FIT FRECKLES AND STONES TN' THE field of science Doctor SteinA metz died at the age of fifty-eight, in the world of music Mozart died at thirty-five. Caruso was a comparative­ ly young man when he passed away. In the columns of daily papers an­ nouncement is made of the sudden death of prominent business men whose ages are under fifty. Why thia? The answer Is usually, overwork, overstrain, too heavy a load. A more subtle question may be asked: why was the load ton heavy and the strain too great? Work Itself never killed anybody. Worry has slain Its thousands. The next explanation is hardened arteries, high blood pressure, softened muscles and impaired^nerves; the re­ sult of not keeping fit. of not living right. Diet Is responsible more than anything else. Lack of sleep, toxic poisons and the absence of adequate exercise are also responsible. Realizing the dangers suggested by these symptoms, men In middle life seek refuge In golf or other diversions. Better this than nothing. The time, however, to build up a physical con­ stitution capable of standing the strain is when one Is young. If every young man and woman at the age of twenty would determine to keep flt and carry out those resolu­ tions throughout the years, a break­ down in middle life would be a rare occurrence. • MONG the many current super­ stitions discovered by the Amer­ ican Folk-ljore society is n cure for freckles which runs as follows: Count your freckles. Then take as many pebbles as you have freckles and place the pebbles In a paper and throw the package away. He who picks up the package of pebbles gets your freckles. This Is In entire ac­ cordance with that form of sympa­ thetic magic practiced by primitive man known as the magic of trans­ ference. By counting the freckles and counting the pebbles to the same number you associate the two in Idea and thus associate them in reality. Now when the package of pebbles has been thrown -away they still re­ tain the association, are in fact, as lu idea, the same thing as your freckles. The man who picks the pebbles up. therefore, picks up your freckles— they are transferred to him by the magic of contact. Your freckles are yours no -longer, but become his by contagious magic. Modern science regarils contagion as being produced by a contact of matter. Primitive magic regarded contagion as also being produced by the contact of ideas.

When you want to make a meat loaf, have the butcher cut off a fresh piece of meat and grind it while you look on. ar take the meat home and grind it yourself. Use the ground meat the day it was bought if possible. Early spring is the time to get ahead with hot weather clothing. Stares are full of attractive cotton fabrics. In­ vest in a few dress lengths and make them up at odd moments so you will be prepared when the first warm days arrive. Liver that has been fried with bacon and a little onion may be scalloped with rice in a baking dish. Balt pork may be used instead of bacon and raw potatoes, thinly sliced, instead of rice. Jam or jelly, made of left-over pie dough and left-over preserves, will solve the question what to liave for dessert, with very little trouble. Pie trimmings can a iso be cut into cook­ ie shapes, brushed with egg-yolk, sug­ ar and cinnamon, nnd used for cook­ ies.

NEW SPRING OXFORDS MORE FILMS LIKE “QUALITY STREET” ARE BADLY WANTED More pictures like Marion Davies’ • Quality Street,’ which comes to the Star Theatre on Sunday and Monday, are devoutly to be desired. In the stellar role of Phoebe Thros­ sel. Miss Davies gives the best perfor­ mance of her screen career and does full justice to a role which Maude Ad­ ams mode so dear to the theatre-go­ ing public. Little of the charm of Sir James Barrie’s noted play has been lost in its transition to the screen. The director has stuck close to the original vehicle, so close that he. for the first time in screen history, has succeeded in film­ ing eight full episodes, aggregating al­ most four hundred scenes. In a single room. Barrie concentrated his play into the Throssel drawing room and Director Sidney Franklin and the scenarists. Hans Kraly and Albert Lewin, have kept it there. It is Infrequently that such a noted play finds its way to the screen. Most stars would have been afraid to tackle the role of Phoebe Throssel. and their fear would have been well grounded. It took some master work for as good a portrayal as Marion Davies has giv­ en such a difficult part. Marion's work in “Quality Street” shows she is the peer of any screen ac­ tress in the world. The port called for comedy, pathos and straight drama— and it got them all. Special mention should be given the fine portrayal of Susan by Helen Jer­ ome Eddy.

A they had not been able to perform the healing they were told that It was their unbelief that hindered them. Of course this belief was not In­ tended to have been in themselves or In their personal |>owers but In what Jesus often railed to them The Truth.” It is in the belief In the truth about ourselves that we should, and that the wise man doe?, find the basic ele­ ments of success nnd advancement If we do not have confidence, which Is only another name for belief In our­ selves, we are not likely to get far In acconipliHhment. But that belief must be based on fact, on the truth, on the realities which exist in us and upon which we can call with faith and re­ Hance. Believing In oneself Is absolutely uecessarj to any successful action. The man who does not believe in himself cannot make a speech worth listening to. he cannot write a book .worth rending, he cuunot run a winUlng foot race nor even succeM$illy plow a furrow. I Housekeeping is one ot tbe most wearing forms of labor that can be found. And caring for small children Is not exactly a vacation, either. Let us admit that the average hard­ working wife keeps up her end of tbe partnership. Why. then, sbonld she not be treated as an equal? Why should she have to come to her husband and beg for money to buy a new dress? Does he beg her to cook bls supper for him? It seems to me that tbe only satis­ factory answer to this problem is the family budget. Expenses should be tabulated and provision made for them. A certain amount of money should be allotted to rent, another amount to food, another amount to clothing. Some money, of course, should go Into tbe savings b?nk. When the budget Is once planned and found workable It should be ad­ hered to It makes little difference then who baa charge of tbe funds.

The seven "horse sense” rules are: Learn to play; don't eat too much; take proper exercise; don't work too hard, either mentally or physically; don't worry, fuss or lose your temper— the best tonic in the world is optimism amusement thFt diverts the mind and exercises the muscle; once a year have your family doctor examine you for health, not for disease. Ordinarily seven rules of conduct would Dot be difficult In observance but here are given seven rules which regu­ late every act of every day of our lives. By the exertion of a little will power we would probably not find them much worse than a stern taskmaster in spite of the broad field they cover. How many men and women past thirty know how to play? Are there any in this community who never over­ eat? Regular exercise is observed by only a small minority. Most people work too much or not enough. The most optimistic among us worry too much and lose our tempers too often for the good of our health. More peo­ ple are, to be sure, participating in the many diversions, fads and amusements offered them by modern civilization and yet too many do not. And as for the seventh rule, where are there men and women who think of the doctor when they are well? ime MORE INTENSELY The tempo of American life rises and the nervous tension of the American people tightens with the increasing ve­ locity of production, business and liv­ ing. Modern devices to hufry up the body, intensify the emotions and ac­ celerate the mind have come into gen­ eral use. Business works a network of telephone and telegraph wires. Auto­ matic bookkeeping machines, type­ writers and card indexes enable indi­ viduals to control vast areas of indus­ trial operation, involving billions of dollars. Even in the home and on the farm electrification and the gasoline motor have quickened the pace. Emotionally the nation is ever under pressure. The motion picture com­ presses into two hours the whole range of human adventure and excitement for thousands. The radio is concen­ trating millions on one thought and at one time. Huge stadiums throughout the country gather with ease and safe­ ty crowds numbered in hundreds of thousands, permitting them to enjoy the magnetic thrill of concentrated mass emotion. All this speed and size is an accepted part of the atmosphere of the American city. It causes people unconsciously to quicken their pace and to feel them­ selves part of a huge confederation of success. Is it any wonder that "highvoltage” temperaments are becoming so common? What more logical fruit for a "high voltage" age to bear? THURSDAY. MARCH 15. 1»U.

COIN OF THE REALM Caesar caused the Roman money to be stamped with his likeness, thereby including it among “the things that are Caesar's." In ancient times the emperor owned not only the money but all the substance of his realm, in­ cluding the lives of his subjects.

Of the more than one million acres of land owned by the State, about 200,000 acres are in Intensively worked State Forests and the greater share of this as well as the greater share of the remainder is available for him ting and other recreational uses. At the present time the Department of Conservation has six major stand­ ard game refuges in operation, cover­ ing approximately 50.000 acres. Sur­ rounding all the newer refuge units are public hunting grounds which add up to about 75,000 acres. For the most part, this land was secured by the state through tax delinquency, the balance having been purchased by money from game fund at or below the valuations as assessed for taxation. The average annual production of ring-neck pheasants and eggs from the State Game Farm Is 6.000 birds and 30.000 eggs. . The Department of Conservation plans soon to issue a complete set of rules and regulations governing the use and occupancy of State lands owned and controlled by the Department, and will particularly stress the Importance of one having to do with the disposal of refuse and rubbish after camping or other occupancy. This, to a large ex­ tent, will do away with unsightly abandoned eamp sites of those using State lands for camping, plcnlclng or other recreational uses. Act 17 of the Public Acta of 1921, as amended by Act 337, Public Acta of 1927, gives the Department authority to set forth rules and regulations, the violation of which Is a misdemeanor and punish­ able by fine or imprisonment. At the February meeting of the Conservation Commission, held In Lansing, a motion was passed that all applications for special commissions for Conservation Officers without com­ pensation be submitted a Commission meetings and . before issuing by the Acting Director. Before any special commissions are issued, a careful investigation will be made as to quaUfications of applicants, in order to make certain that such ap­ plicant has the best Interests of Con­ servation at heart, is sincere In his promise to cooperate, and not use the Commission for private interests. It is planned to require those not per­ sonally known to Conservation Officers to fill out a detailed appUcation blank the Department will issue and all ap­ plications will be carefully scrutinised and investigated before commissions are Issued.

This extra material is eased into the seam to give room for the shoulder blades. If a person is slightly round-shouldered it is par­ ticularly necessary to make this allow­ ance. Leg bands on children’s rompers or bloomers should never impede circula­ tion. For tills reason elastic bands are not advised. Cloth bands are bet­ ter. They should be wide enough to slide up the leg five Inches or more when the child bends over. Because they must be so loose it is necessary to make the legs of the garment short or they will hang down uncomfortably over the knees. Cottage cheese can be used in many types of salads. It combines well with other foods, and may be served with French mayonnaise, or boiled dress­ ings. Cottage cheese for salads may be formed into balls or slices; it may be moulded into tiny cups or passed through a pastry tube. Foods that combine well with cottage cheese in salads are crisp, fresh vegetables; cooked or canned vegetables; fresh, dried, or preserved fruits; nuts; and olives. Having a built-in ironing board in a shallow closet saves space, is conven­ ient. and helps to keep the cover clean. The hinged support should be placed so that there is room to draw a skirt or dress over the board. The board should be the right height for you. There should be a good light from a window during the day, and artificial light also.

You old timers, who iiad your-pictur' took” in tbe eighties, know what it is all about. We were not obliged to make an appointment for a "sitting," as meet everybody had their picture taken in a standing posture, and pos­ ture is right. Visiting, a photographer those days was attended with as much fuss and leathers as having a tooth pulled with the aid of laughing gas. X think better results would have been obtained luid the photographers used this anaesthetic on their patrons—at least, they would have captured a more pleasant and less painful expres­ sion. Still, you couldn't expect a fel­ low to look cheerful with the back of his skull resting tightly between the jaws of u pair of ice longs—a contrap­ tion rigged up to keep your head from nodding. I often wondered why they didn't introduce this apparatus into the churches, and yet Rev. Hurd used to say that people who fell asleep and nodded in their pews should not be censured—the preacher was the fellow who should be “woke up." Well, after Man Feighner got us properly adjusted in the stanchions, he commenced playing peek-a-boo with us through the camera. Then one of his hands came out from under a large, black cloth and waved—Just like a woman driver from an auto. You haven't the faintest idea what she means by it. She might be eating pea­ nuts and throwing the shells out, or, feeling of the weather to see if it is raining. We didn’t know what Man wanted either, until his head popped out and he told Frank to bring in one of his feet. Frank always had both of his feet with him. but he had a habit of planting one of them a foot ahead of the other at parade rest I don’t believe sunlight was very strong in those horse-and-buggy days, for it seemed as though the morrow would surely dawn, and it would be at the sunrise of anothr day before we were shot. The picture, however, was a big success, save in one detail. I was holding one of those red cravon marking pencils between my right thumb and forefinger.. Though some trick of fate, the thumb and pencil were blended in the picture, with the result that my axial digit resembled that of a chimpanzee. C. W. Francis. Tarbell.

June was a poor little girl and didn't have many toys, but she was pretty and kind. She had dark brown eyes, and hair as gold as the sun. Jean had long gold­ en hair which sparkled In the sun as she played. June's birthday was to­ morrow, and Jean had a present for her. which she would give to her when she came over to play.

Mias Alice Smith, chief probation officer of the woman's court, states that juvenile crime begins in the min­ imum wage of parents. As the funda­ mentals of character are built in the home, you as parents and educators should try to make it possible for more people to have better home sur­ roundings. It is my belief that right at this time, when our nation has tak­ en a place of greatness in the world, that there is more than ever need that Congoleum Gold Seal Guar anteed Rugs honor and self-sacrifice, in the heart of every citizen. As honesty is one of the fundamen­ have It In an ideal home. There is one mistake made by many people and that is that the test for honesty Is lim­ ited to whether or not a person will steal. There are many other forms of dishonesty although most of them are leas-Important than stealing. They the character. One of the most im­ portant of these is cheating. Is it not a sad fact that children form this habit in school? It Is a natural course of human nature to follow the path of least resistance, so the pupil from this easy method of getting his lessons, la­ ter on in life finds himself trying to make his living by the way which brings him the dollars in the easiest way, and in most cases leading to very degrading crimes. There should also be cooperation In the home. We expect the parents to work, but the children should also have tasks which they should perform each day; that is, every member of the family should cooperate with the rest for a good citizen should be able to co­ operate with other people, and the earlier he learns IL the more efficient he becomes. Along with work, there should also be play, for every member of the family. There must be fun and laughter In the home, for no other thing will so easily smooth minor an­ noyances. Cheerfulness is largely a habit to be acquired, and one that does not have to be broken. In fact it Is one of the best habits a person can acquire. If children are entertained in the home they do not have time or desire to get into mischief. I do not mean never let-them go but don’t moke them feel that they can not have company. If more homes were places of enter­ tainment so many young people would not spend their leisure time in the wrong places. There is another thing that is es­ sential to a good home, a home that will produce good citizens upon which the future cf our nation depends and that is religion. Many people in their mad rush for entertainment are for­ getting IL They think of It as merely dry, uninteresting history instead of a real thing that can be applied to ev­ ery day life and make It more enjoy­ able. If parents lose their religion their children are more liable to drift away from the right way of living. The lack of truth, honor and self­ sacrifice which is the cause of most nil crimes can be traced to the lack of proper home surroundings. As the future of our nation depends today; Upon a generation far away. We. a wholesome life should live. To them a better start to give. —Mildred Caley.

Chapter Enjoys Splendid Growth in Membership During Past Year. During the building of our new tem­ ple. too much credit cannot be given to the members of our Sister auxiliary lodge, the Order of Eastern Star, and its Worthy Matron—Mrs. Zoah Bera. Not only have these estimable ladles given words of encouragement, but generously of their untiring labors and efforts, in order to make for our big undertaking a complete success. Many liberal contributions have been added to the funds of the Masonic Building Association from the treasury of Laurel Chapter. Likewise many fine Mrs. Z^ah Bera pieces of furniture, kitchen utensils, kerosene four-burner stove; and one of their fine donations which calls for special mention, is their purchase of new dishes in quantities, so that we now have In our well equipped kitchen complete service for two hundred, sil­ verware Included. A great amount of credit Is due to the estimable Worthy Matron. Her motto seems to have been, "Forward March.” Assisted by her subordinate officers and others, she has carried out the contentions of this motto in such a successful manner that commenda­ tion and praise of tne highest order are accorded to them by members of the Building Committee and Nashville Lodge. This Is Sister Bera's second year as the presiding officer of Laurel Chap­ ter, and her services to her lodge have gained for her a place of special men­ tion on the records.

Truly we may feel that wo have accomplished very much; that each of us has rendered a service to our Ancient and Honorable order; and that each has labored and shar­ ed responsibilities in the building of our beautiful new Masonic Temple, which has just been dedicated to' God. and the Brotherhood of Man. May we not feel that in building our Masonic Temple, we have erected a structure in Nashville which every citizen, even though not affiliated with the fraternity, may point out to tourists and friends with almost the same degree of pride he would feel in pointing out any one of our many fine church edifices, or our beautiful school building.

Tuttle * Early In the year 1927. when it had been definitely decided by the three Masonic bodies in Nashville to own a new home, it was voted that three members be chosen, one member to represent each lodge. Accordingly Carl H. Tuttle was chosen to represent Nashville Lodge No. 25S. F. & A. M.^ Dr. E. T. Morris to represent Zion Chapter No. 171 R. A. M. and Mrs. Marcia Munro was the member chosen by Laurel Ch«»pter No. 31. O. E. 8. After careful investigation it was decil­ ed. to form a Building Association, its object and purpose to hold all property in trust for the lodges, transact all business, maintain the property in good repair and assume the responsibility of liquidating the indebtedness certain to be created by an undertaking of this size. The Nashville Masonic Build­ ing Association Is a perpetual working organization. incorporated under the laws of Michigan., The three members of the association rank officially as follows: Carl H. Tuttle—President. Dr. E. T. Morris—Vice President. Marcia Munro—Secy-Treasurer. The members of the three orders represented by these three highly re­ spected and competent officials may rest assured that the financial affairs of the Association will be handled care­ fully and economically It is an undeniable fact that the members of the association have real work ahead of them; and not easy work, by arjy means. However it is going to be the confidence and moral support accorded them by the mem­ bers of the various lodges that will prove their greatest asset and help In carrying on the work they have to do. t , r . v , - ’ We feci that further mention is needed in regard to Brother Tuttle’s other activities in Masonry—present and past.

Hale was a man of honesty and integrity, and loved Masonry, and endeavored to exemplify its teaching in his dally life. He was of a quiet and unassuming disposition and was ac­ corded the respect and confidence of all who knew him. At the time of Brother Hale's death he was the oldest active member in the senice of the American Railway Ex­ press Co., having been their local agent since his coming here in the year 1887.

Below we give a complete list of the [ former Worshipful Masters of Nashvllle Lodge, from Its institution In the year 1868, to the present time; also j the year in which they held office. Many of these honored brothers have long since laid down the working tools; of life and gone to continue their la- : bora in the Celestial Lodge above. In looking back over the pages of Nash- , ville’s early history we find evidences I where these men were operatire build- j era as well as merely builders In the speculative sense. Each and every one of them has taken some active part in the building of Nashville from a wil­ derness to the beautiful little town that It Is today. As we have already mentioned, many of these brothers have long since gone to their rewards. We are placing an asterisk after the name of those whom we personally know are still living. ■ Lewis Durkee-1868-9-70-1-2. Dan Halbert—1873-4. O. L Deyo—1875-6. Lewis Durkee—1877. B. F.

This distinction is given In recognition of long years of faithful service to the lodge. Grand Lodge rulings are that when a mem­ ber has passed the 65th year of age and has been a member in good standing for a continuous period of forty years, a life certificate may be granted, as well as relieving them of the obligation of paying further dues to the lodge. However this honor and privilege does not debar them of any of the rights and benefits of the regular member. We ore proud to print below the names of the present Hfe members. Henry Roe. C. Edgar Roscoe. Thos. R. Purkey. C A. Hough. Cassius L. Glasgow. This year Nashville Lodge will have the pleasure of granting three life cer­ tificates. the brothers to receive them are Adorn Wolf of Battle Creek, who retains his membership In this lodge, and Almon G. Murray and Wm. J. Llebhauser both of this place. During the life of Nashville Lodge it also conferred this honor upon ten other members, all of whom have pass­ ed. They were George Mason, Wallace Matteson, William Boston. Edward R. White, John D. Mix, James B. Wal­ ker, Charles M. Putnam. James Flem­ ing, Walter B. Stillwell and Stephen 8. Ingerron. FIRST HIGH PRIEST, AND ORGANIZER OF-ZION CHAPTER. As we have already mentioned in another article, the real ’ father'' and organizer of Zion Chapter No. 171, R. A. M.. was David T. Brown, whose per­ fect likeness appears below. At the time the Chapter was organized, and for several years after its institution. Companion Brown was a resident of Nashville and one of the News force. It was not only through Companion Brown's efforts that a charter was granted, but through his faithful ser- Planning on Building This Spring ? I David T. Brown. vices that the Chapter was mode to function in a flourishing manner from the very start, and during the years he held the office cf Excellent High Priest the Chapter's membership in­ creased from the number of charter members to nearly eighty. Masonry was next to Old Dave’s (as we best know him) heart. Previous to his coming to Nashville from Bronson he had been through the cliairs in both the Blue Lodge and the Chapter at that place. Companion Brown was made a Master Mason in Onstead No. 407, November 29, 1912. about a year later transfering his membership to Bronson. Was exalted to the Royal Arch degree in Slroc Chapter No. 46.1 R. A. M. Companion Brown is also a member of Sinai Council No. 9, R & | 8. M.. in which lodge he has held var­ ious offices and for one year acted as Thrice Illustrious Master. Mrs. Brown is a member of Laurel Chapter No. 31. O. E. 8. Mr. and Mrs. Brown ore now living at Royal Oak, Mich., where the former is foreman on the Royal Oak Dally Press. FIRST CANDIDATE INITIATED BY NASHVILLE LODGE NO. 255. We reproduce below a picture of Brother C. M. Putnam, who passed away July 25, 1918. Brother Putnam held the distinction of being the first man to be initiated an Entered Ap­ prentice in Nashville Lodge No. 255. F. A. M.. shortly after the institu­ tion of the lodge late in the year 1868. He was also the first to be raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason, on April 7. 1869. Brother Putnam took a very active part in Masonic Chas. M. Putnam, work during his lifetime. He was Worshipful Master six years during two different periods—1888-9-90. and during the years 1893-4-5. Brother Putnam was born In Bridge­ water, Ohio, December 25, 1846. Came to Nashville in the fall of 1866. Was married to Miss Agnes Smith In No­ vember, 1869. Conducted a hardware ir. the village for many years, retiring from active business about twenty years preceding his death. For several years was president of the State Sav­ ings bank. During his residence in Nashville was deeply interested in pub­ lic Improvements. The Putnam pub­ lic library, the Ladles’ Rest Room and the Athletic Field are gifts to the vil­ lage from Mr. and Mrs. Putnam. Putnam Park was named by the village council in honor of Brother Putnam, he having devoted a great deal of his time to beautifying the park and fur­ nishing Its fixtures, shrubbery and flowers. Mrs. Putnam was likewise a very ac­ tive member of Laurel Chapter. No. 31. O. E. S. She was Worthy Matron of the Chapter for the continuous period from 1887 to 1896, inclusive. The first American lodge of which there are in existence written records was organized at Philadelphia some time prior to June, 1731. probably In 1730. There is a tradition that a lodge met In King's Chapel. Boston. In 1720. but no proofs have ns yet been found to substantiate the story. How­ ever. very little Is known of even the former lodge, and it may have been of a "time immemorial" origin. A lodge was-organlzed In Boston In 1733, by Henry Price under authority from the Grand Lodge of England. This lodge was known as the "First Lodge." Did you know that “Moon dates" were never in any sense a landmark of the Craft? The custom of hold­ ing lodge meeting on dates governed by the moon, is gradually disappear­ ing. This custom was observed In the days of slow travel and poor roads and In order to make It easier to travel and attend lodges at distant points, by the light of the moon. Did you know that Masonry rs we know It today, in the speculative sense of the word, was first organized In Operative London in 1717? C r__ 21.- Masonry —____ ~ dates back to time Immemorial. Man­ uscripts dated in 1390 show that it was even at that time very old.

The building committee appointed were ‘ Bros. Wm. i Boston, Chas. Putnam, E. R. White, Dewitt Dickinson, H. A. Barber, John Smith. Later we find in the minutes a notation which stated that $42.50 ad­ ditional cost had been allowed by a vote of the lodge, that being the differ­ ' ence in the cost of the hall Which we . have known as home for so many : years, and the hall now owned by the ; Knights of Pythias, whose hall was built the same year and under practlcolly the same conditions. Later we 1 find where Brother Boise had been paid the sum of $1,500 as a final set­ , clement. The money to finance the | building of this hall was obtained by issuing notes of one hundred dollars each. The new hall was dedicated on the evening of Wednesday, December 1, 1886, the ceremonies being perform­ ed by one of our former worthy Past Masters. B. P. Reynolds, by permission of M. Shoemaker.

State af­ fairs were also at a standstill while Governor Green and the other state of­ ficials and legislators made a sorrow­ ful Journey to Big Rapids to attend the burial rites. Though twice elected governor of Michigan, the outstanding achievement In Mr. Ferris' political career was hls election to the United States senate in November. 1922. At that time he ac­ complished the seemingly impossible, by breaking through, for the first time in 70 years, a normal state Republican majority of 500.00 votes. In addition to hls political activities. Senator Fer­ ris won considerable renown as an edu­ cator. establishing the Ferris Indus­ trial school at Big Rapids In 1884. and later the Ferris Institute which has enjoyed a steady growth. Gov. Green announces that he will make appointment this week of a suc­ cessor to complete Senator Ferris' un­ expired term. WOULD DELAY OPENING OF FISHING SEASON. Conservation Men Think June 15th Too Early for Black Bass and Bluegills. The much-discussed question of the proper time for opening the season on bass and bluegills is again thrown wide open for discussion by the presenta­ tion of reports of technical men em­ ployed by the Department of Conser­ vation covering studies of the breeding habits of those species. Dr. Jan Metzelaar. the Department of Conservation Ichthyologist, T. H. Langlois. Pathologist for the Depart­ ment. Professor John N. Lowe of the Northern State Teachers’ College at Marquette. Professor Chas. W. Creaser of Detroit City College and Carl Hubbs of the University of Michigan Museum Staff, are agreed that by permitting the taking of bass and bluegills on June 15 in the Lower Peninsula and on July 1 north of the Straits. Michigan sports­ men are spoiling their own sport. From a study covering a period of years of scores of lakes In the State, these scientists have determined that the approximate dates when the spe­ cies are ordinarily finished with their reproductive duties are as follows: Bass: South of Town line 20. June 22: between this line and the Straits of Mackinac. July 1st; in the Upper Peninsula. July 8. In this last, howev­ er, Professor Lowe dissents and be­ lieves that the middle of July is the earliest date at which bass can safe­ ly be taken in that territory. Bluegills: South of Town line 20, July 1; between this line and the Straits of Mackinac. July 8; Upper Pe­ ninsula. July 16. Both bass and bluegills guard their young after the hatching. During this period they will bite at any lure offered —once the parent fish is taken, the fry is at the mercy of all enemy fishes. Last year. Michigan spent approxi­ mately $35,000 in rearing bass. This year, it Ls estimated that the State will spend $40,000 At the same time, ac­ cording to this Investigation. Michigan fishermen, who pay the bill for propa­ gation. were interfering with nature Ln her reproductive course. No action under the discretionary power act is contemplated this season. Sportsmen, however, are being inform­ ed of the situation through their or­ ganizations. and the next Legislature, no doubt, will be requested to take ac­ tion. A son. James Richard, was born to Mr and Mrs. J S. Hamilton at the Woman’s hospital at Flint, March 20. The little one died the following day and burial was made at Gracelawn cemetery at Flint.

Probably the most temperamental of its kind is the Linotype machine in 'Die News office It has been with us for several years. It knows as well as the operators do which operator lj working on it. and It cuts up some capers with some of them that It does­ n’t with others. Yet we are frank to say that it lias studied conditions and seems to be getting wise to the ways of the world. It sympathizes with the advertising columns and the commer­ cial printing department. It. runs smoothly when saying nice things about things and events chronicled in the advertising columns and also when commenting on affairs for which the office does the job printing, but it goes "hay-wire" when asked to boost and palaver about events for which the printing goes out of town, sometimes, indeed, grows cold at heart and refuses to cast slugs for such events, or squirts hot metal at the operator who Insists on making it cist its lines.

The ratio of happiness may not be higher than when the dic­ tum of the Declaration was written, but it is certainly just as high in some people. Despite spectacular crime and pill­ age. there never was a day of worthier enterprise with higher awards than exists tn this country for the young man who is wining to do one thing— buckle hls best intelligence to honest work. Not all Americans find happiness in the accumulation of money. In increas­ ing their business profits or in acquir­ ing material possessions.

PAUL CASE, Drpt. C-7S, Brockton. Coughs Stopped Almost Instantly Curtis Bailey of Vermontville receiv­ ed serious injuries at the Nashville de­ pot Saturday morning. He was help­ ing to load a car with logs when a heavy log which was being rolled up the skids to the car, came back down with a crash when the chain broke.

It is conservatively estimated that Chesterfield has acquired at least a million users in a little over a year— certainly convincing proof that- finer quality and better taste Is substantial­ ly recognized by the cigarette Ing public. This genuine testimonial for good tobaccos and good blending is hosed largely on Chesterfield's particularly pleasing flavor and taste.

Sales reports have revealed that this brand is worldwide in its ac­ ceptance. as shown by the fact that in practically all the principal cities of the world It is found to be among the leading sellers. In fact. Chesterfields world-wide recognition has given rise to another new advertising slogan which truth­ fully asserts that “the sun never sets on Chesterfield's popularity"—with the added distinction that “Such popular­ ity must be deserved” because of a taste and quality which won smokers Mr. and Mrs. John Doll of Tensing world over and will continue to were week end guests at the home of them bec*use it is what they want «------in current advertising, Liggett & Mr. and Mrs. John Maurer.

THURSDAY. APR. 5, 1928 NUMBER 37 <uiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihiiiiiiiuiiiiiig GOVERNOR APPOINTS Where Are AU of the Nashville High Grads?, School History Compiled ■ by Mr*. FERN CROSS I = = illUlilliiiiilliiliiiiililiituiHlllliiiiiliiir: VANDENBERG SENATOR. Governor Fred W. Green announced Saturday the appointment of Arthur H. Vandenberg, editor of the Grand Rapids Herald as United States Sena­ tor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Woodbridge N. Fer­ ris of Big Rapids. The appointment is a splendid one for Michigan and the whole country. Arthur Vandenberg will be a states­ man of the highest tpye, of which the senate of the United States should rightly be composed. A kindly, clean, wholesome American citizen, of high attainments and sterling patriotism, whose love of country is outstanding and real. It took very real courage on the part of Governor Green to make the ap­ pointment, for politicians from all ov­ er the state were clamoring for him to appoint a “chair-warmer" for the in­ terim appointment and let a horde of would-be candidates fight It out at the polls. That he would make bitter en­ emies of some life-long friends might easily be possible and even more than likely. He could perhaps have chosen the easier road and retained all these friendships without being severely cen­ sured. Many friends urged him to •play politics." and not appoint an ac­ tive candidate. In the face of all this hurly-burly the Governor let his good common sense and his love for the best inter­ ests of Michigan dictate his course, in the appointment of Mr. Vandenberg, and we contend that he did “play jxjlltlcs.’’ but of a much higher quality than is ordinarily meant by that phrase. The appointment does cerdlt to the Governor and to the state. EASTER IN THE CHURCHES TELLING TALEB OUT OF SCHOOL With a feeling of chagrin, I confess that the Nashville schools In the mid­ dle eighties could not exultlngly boast of a track team. Athletics and the school curriculum were not on speak­ ing terms. That is, sports were not recognized by the school board and teachers as being necessary in the educaton of the pupil. Brain and brawn did not go hand-in-hand "officially" through our school days. The lettered sweater and the decorated raincoat did not rih. rah together on the campus. We were nothing but book worms, and at times, ate of the apple of discord which ripened within our natures—na­ tures that called for an outlet for our youthfully animality. It was all right to’ mind our "p's" and "q’s", but if we had started B. V.

Some peddlers carry their stock of merchandise with them, in com­ munities that are unprotected by local ordinances. Then, there is ‘he order taker who is content to deliver later, trusting to luck that you have not changed your mind or moved away in the meantime. But most to be feared is the fellow who gets your signature on an order blank and then demands a down payment. Sometimes they re­ turn to deliver your purchase and col­ lect the balance due', and then again there are any number who take your initial payment and are seen no more. An example of the latter species ap­ peared recently at Grant, taking or­ ders and money for hams which he failed to deliver. Only by merest chance was he later apprehended In a distant city and brought back to answer for his peculations. The safe way is to shun all peddlers but if you must patronize them make it a hard and fast rule to pay out no money until the goods are in your hands.

CONDUCTING BIG CAMPAIGN. “Some idea of the scope of the cam­ paign now being conducted by tuber­ culosis associations throughout the country for the Early Diagnosis of Tuberculosis can be received when we realize that more than 10,000.000 pieces of literature have been distributed throughout the country," said Mr. Theodore J. Werle, executive secretary of the Michigan Association and chair­ man of the committee on Publicity Methods under whose direction the present campaign was formulated and is being carried out. “To date 7.500.000 4-page circulars giving the early symptoms of tuber­ culosis have been distributed through­ out the country. In Michigan alone almost 500.000 of these circulars have been given out through the medical societies, schools. churches, clubs, stor­ es. post offices and fraternal groups. Out-door advertising companies in Michigan have already posted 411 bill­ boards throughout the state. The number of billboards dlstrbuted in the entire country is 7.600. Nearly 500,000 pastors showing a physician making a chest examination have been printed by the National Tuberculosis Associa­ tion. Of this number, the Michigan Tuberculosis Association has distribut­ ed 20.960 posters. The splendid coop­ eration of the school superintendents, boy scouts and luncheon clubs has made it possible for these posters to be placed effectively," stated Mr Werle. "In addition to the posters, circulars and billboards which spread the educa­ tional message of the campaign, about 400 motion picture theaters in Michi­ gan are showing slides which urge peo­ ple to get a chest examination and let their doctor decide their physical condi­ tion. All of the material issued is de­ signed to acquaint the individual with the danger signs of tuberculosis which are a continued tired feeling, chronic indigestion, a persistent cough, loss of weight and often an afternoon fever. Only when people realize these phy­ sical signs may be symptoms of tuber­ culosis and have their case diagnosed while in the early stages, will tuber­ culosis be brought under control. At known are not diagnosed until they have passed the initial stages, a fact which explains the large death rate from tuberculosis, a curable disease," added Mr. Werle. ' "The annual sale of tuberculosis Chrisman seals in Mlchgan has made this campaign possible," concluded Mr. Werle. Worked Way Through In 1661 Isaac Newton entered Trin­ ity college. Cambridge (England), as a “sub-sizar." Fixed portions of food and drink were then called “sizes" and “subsizars” were the students who, too poor to buy their own food, car­ ried “sizes” for others and, as a con­ dition. obtained their own free of cost.

You are anxious to get the work done while weather conditions are favorable. And you are just as anxious to do the planting in the best possible way. You can do the work easily and get increased yields, if you plant seed and at the same time distribute fertilizer with one of our combined grain and fertilizer drills, the — T VAN BRUNT FERTILIZER GRAIN DRILL This drill makes horse power and man power available for other purposes.

Easter Is God's promise and human­ ity's hope of a regenerated human race. Easter is the rainbow reaching from heaven to earth’ with its heavenly promise of better things. Right and peace will yet kiss each other. Good will to man will yet take the place of ill will. The healing of love will heal the scars of hate. The night of every grave has its morning; even the grave of world wide peace. Out of the dark and bloody still of strife will surely blossom the lilies of brotherhood, peace and progress Easter knows both sides of life -She tragic and the triumphant But it be­ lieves that the triumphant will triumph. In the bright lexicon of this day there is no such word as failure. "Be of good cheer, I have overcame the world." Easter confirms the undying faith of human hearts. Haw do we know that better days are ahead? We don't know. Yet who would predict today that the dead rose pushes will ever come to life again? Or that frail song birds will ever return with their sunkissed songs? Yet these things will be. Easter says, “Look up. God reigns, and the universe Is secure. Tribute to Teachert H. G.

KANE Wall Paper Paint We Deliver CODIFICATION OF GAME LAWS Codification of the Michigan game laws is progressing satisfactorily, ac­ cording to George R. Hogarth, Acting Director of the Department of Consersr.tion. who is heartily in favor of the recent action by the Conservation Commission which authorized the work. "We cannot hope for one hundred percent observance of the hunting and fishing laws even on the part of those who are eager to obey the regulations until they know just what the law;; are. 'Ignorance of the law is no ex­ cuse', according to the law itself, but in regard to many of our game laws, it is only fair to say that there is le­ gitimate reason for such ignorance," said Mr. Hogarth today. As the years pass, old laws are abrogated and new laws passed, but frequently parts of the old laws remain in force and a new law fails to make specific mention of the statute already covering the situation. This makes for confusion which has multiplied1 with the passage of time. There are not only the legislative statutes to take notice of. it was pointed out, but the various regulations handed down by the Conservation Commission under Act 230, P. A. 1925, the so-called Discretionary- Power Act. under which the Commission is given almost unlim­ ited authority whenever, in its opinion, an emergency exists. Mrs. Ina Lewis, an expert, who has had long experience, has been employ­ ed. by authority of the Commission, to lay the ground-work for the re-codlflcatlon. It Is a task that will tako many weeks, even months. When her work is done, representatives of all or­ ganizations interested in nay way win be called in for suggestions, and the re-codification, together with proposed new laws meeting with general approv­ al, wHl be placed before the 1929 Leg­ islature os K substitute for the jumbl­ ed mass of conflicting legislation now on the books. ‘I It was pointed out by the Acting Di­ rector that the re-codification means much more than mere indexing. It means the elimination of confusing and conflicting laws and regulations, and should be of real service not only to sportsmen but to law-enforcement officers. Fur Not Highly Prized The fur-bearing animal, the fisher, Is found tn forested and uncivilized parts of Canada, and the northern United States, where it formerly ranged southward to Tennessee. Its fur in winter is good and is much caught in Europe. These animals are caught without difficulty In large traps baited with meat. The biological sur­ vey says that very few people raise the fisher. The demand for" the fur Is rather steady, but not great. For Nirs. House-Keeper ■ GUY CORNERS By Viola M. Sears.

Tbe home town looked the same uh when I last made for Shooter’s Hill, fleeing from the Ignominy of being lit­ tle better than a pauper. It was two years since 1 bad been in Virginia, and there were certain outstanding debts which made It embarrassing for me to return. While the fairs were being held In May and October, all persons coming to Alexandria Would be exempt from arrests and executions. And It was not yet Maytime, and I was back with­ out road-belts, as my red friend, the Onondaga, would style immunity from annoyance. I risked great humiliation, but there are certain things a man must do despite his pride; and I had returned because something larger than my personal welfare was con­ cerned. However, I consoled myself wi th re­ membering that much mountain water bad flowed down the Potomac since my hasty departure, and that all the colonies were in the midst of stirring times; that the extravagances of Web ster Brond would be forgotten now we were at tbe throat of France once more. The coming in of many strangers permitted me to remain unnoticed. So it was that toy long leggings, my fringed hunting-shirt with its broad cape, my moccasins and long rifle, my ax beside the hunting-knife in my em­ broidered belt gave me assurance against recognition until 1 should re­ veal my identity when I delivered my news to Governor Dinwiddle. It was not from choice that 1 had left my Onondaga comrade over the mountains and come to town, although the old false, pride which had prompt­ ed my flight had been washed out by much rough faring and many a dea perate plight It was love for the col­ ony that had drawn me back. 1 came fresh from Fort Duquesne and Shanoppln. from the distant Ohio country where the English were but little known, and where tbe names of Drouillon, Laforce. de Villiers, J urn on ville, and others of the French, al­ ready were so many war cries among tbe Indians along tbe Monongahela and the Allegheny.

I bad told my­ self the past was dead, that “Black” Broad, the forest-runner, was entirely apart from young Webster Brond who bad taken such pride tn scrawling In hto Cheever’s Latin Accidence his name with "Gent. ’ affixed. And now that I was crossing tbe market-square and was In time to see the Northern Mail. Just arrived from Richmond, draw up before tbe Royal George before continuing Its lumbering Journey over the kings poet-road to the north. 1 felt the call of my ancestry and turned my steps to tbe bouse which my father’s love for hospitality and j?nod cheer had lost Some families are unfortunate coats-af-arms and motoes. My people had been Inflicted with tbe family de­ vice of an outstretched open band. My father by nature was congenial and convivial, prodigal with good cheer. He had only needed the appellation “Brand of the open hand" to complete hto Impoverishment. So many times had I seen him set forth to dispose of bls crops; so many times had I greeted Elm on hto return with only a trifle left of tbe season’s planting! And so many times did I puff up with pride when he explained hto light pockets by saying: “It's a duty we owe tbe name, lad. We will plant more, but we will’never be niggardly." ■ 1 thank God he passed out before the crash came, that he never .tasted the bitterness, and that it could be I who was forced to escape petty pros­ ecutions by flight Into the wilderness. It would have broken his kind heart could he have known my estrangement from my fellows. It helped me much to^flnd tbe place deserted. To have seen- others there, where my father kept open house, would have grieved me sorely. I sent my love through the paneled door and passed around to the high gate and looked Into the gnrdpn. Like the house, It showed the lack of human oc­ cupancy. The place was a riot of untrained growth where once orderliness and beauty had graced, the winding paths. All that was left to remind me of the golden yesterday* was the aroma of the snowy cherry blossoms. Voices close by aroused me and ) turned from the gate. Despite my rough schooling from Lake Erie down to the Falls of the Ohio, my heart went plt-a-patting. Just as It had when I wrote her name In my school books. The fellow with her had been my boon companion. Hto powdered wig and beruflled shirt, hto knee-breeches, gold buckles and silken hose put my travel-stained garb to shame, and 1 was for turning back to the gate. But I saw a bint of amusement In their curious glances; and. conquering my weakness, I swept off my ragged fur hat with an almost forgotten grace and called myself more vividly to their attention.

The girl frowned in perplexity; then she rec­ ognized me despite my forest dresa and exclaimed: •’Webster BrandI” Busby rtared blankly for a moment, then smiled broadly and cried: “Curse me If it isn’t! Brond of tbe open band! Where did you come from? And when did you get back? And why do you wear that Indian toggery? ’■HushI" murmured the girl. 1 affected not to beer her. nor to wince under the old title, and ex­ plained : “1 uring news for bls excellency, tbe governor.

Of course you will march with him.” to sbmit myself to stiff-necked dis cipllne. "Then I may see you along t^e road, Web.

MayEap be caught a reminiscent twinkle in my eye; perhaps be thought I was staring too long and Intently at hto dainty companion, lot he abruptly Informed me: "Joe and I are to be married, Web­ ster, after General Braddock has fin­ ished hto little business at Fort Duquesne." I smiled and went through the farm of congratulating them, but there was a stab in my heart. Not that I had expected to carry a girl's love In ny breast during two years of roughmg It—and yet I had hoped. She was crimson and angry. “You should not talk that way,” she coldly admonished Busby. '1 am natural. You’re artificial, Josephine," he lightly bantered. I said: “Surely you feel no foolish delicacy in letting an old friend know of your happiness. Forsooth, I’d have to know now, or not at alt This to my good-by to Alexandria.” At once she was Josephine, the girl I had known. And with wistful­ ness 81:e deplored: “I don't like that word ’good-by.’ It's the saddest of all words, I think. Everything was so peaceful and hap­ py, And now it’s war and soldiers, and all our men eager to march against the French. God give them safe return I” • Could we have but known! Could we have but foreseen the outcome of the next few weeks! Mistress Josephine made me a little .curtsy as a '.Ignnl for her companion to be moving. Busby was Inclined to ■hade hands and instinctively obeyed his English blood by starting to do so, then contented himself with ■ ceremonious bow. The little lady Haw everything and with Impulsive frank­ ness, which ever characterised her kind heart, she advanced as Busby tell back. Seizing my hard for a brief mo­ ment she softly murmured: “We were very young. I did not know. Look ouf for him on the march." And with another hurried little curtsy she was walking out of my life, with Busby mumbling and mut­ tering in her small ear—possibly ask­ ing to be told what confidences she had imparted to me. I silently said farewell to the bouse of the open hand and turned back to the market-square. I have said the town was tbe same; and so it was so for as tbe yellow, white and red chimneys were con­ cerned, for ’-here was the same pro­ portion of slim and fat ones. But it was in physical aspect alone that the town remained unchanged, for the life of the streets was vastly different There were cannon along the wharf, and there were cannon hauled up to । the post-road. There was a frantic passing back and forth of a new pop­ ulation. As I loitered before the Royal George, I was crowded and Jostled rudely by a great bustling of people. At Gadsby’s across the way—built three years before by Lord Fairfax from English bricks—was the same lively animation. Squads of soldiers Ln scarlet coats—scarlet for an In­ dian campaign when tbe forest was all a lusb green—were being maneu­ vered about the square under the hoarse guidance of veteran sergeants. Tbe long rifle I was leaning upon— made by /William Henry of Lancaster, soon tai' be Braddock’s armorer—was in decided contrast to the Brown Beet carried by the overseas soldiery. Sure­ ly this was tbe finest army England had ever sent across the Atlantic, and most surely there was nothing at Duquesne to prevent the capture of the French fort. And yet experience was touching us of tbe colonies that tbe English musket was not an effective weapon in the deep woods. These soldiers of Braddock’s, eo confident of overrunning tbe heads of the Ohio, were not taught to elm their weapons, but to point them in the general direction of tbe enemy and the woods considered every human target we fired tit to be a distinct problem; and God knows the target was small enough when consisting of Huron, or any of the Far Indians, or even the French who bad campaigned with the red savages. There was a rattle at wheel*. It was General Braddock, riding In the coach be bad bought of Governor Sharpe of Maryland. I barely glimpsed him. a heavy stolid man, whose strong visage seemed to lower on the gaping onlokers. Then he was gone, comman­ der In chief of all hto majesty’s forces in North America. He Impressed me as being self-willed and self-depen­ dent, and one who would be intoler­ ant of any advice. It was commonly known that be was displeased at the manner In which the campaign was progressing—rather, falling to pro­ gress. The capture of Fort Duquesne was not bothering him, but to get his army under way was proving to be a most Irritating problem. Nor could one blame him for the needless de­ lays, the lack of funds, the wrangling between the, colonies. But we ‘all knew how General Braddock hod failed to comprehend local conditions. He seemed unable to grasp the fact, which we of America all knew—namely, that the great mass of Pennsylvania citizens was opposed to any system of taxation that did not include the proprietaries; and that the Quakers were averse to voting any money for military pur­ poses. He only knew that promised supplies were lacking, that recruits were coming in very slowly, and that the Indians thus far had not joined bls army.

Corn Borer Regulations to be Enforced in Only Eight Counties. Nd Com­ . pensation to be Paid Farmers. Because Congress has decided not to compensate farmers this spring for their efforts in combating the Euro­ pean com borer, Herbert E. Powell. State Commissioner of Agriculture, has made an Important change in the reg­ ulations relative to the territory where clean-up measures will be enforced. Due to the lack of sufficient funds to enforce the corn borer clean-up regu­ lations throughout the entire quaran­ tined area, the Department announces that the area hits been divided Into two sections. In the one. regulatory measures will be strictly enforced; In the other, farmers will be relied upon to do clean-up work voluntarily: Quar­ antine No. 210 relative to the move­ ment of com and corn particles out of the infested territory has not been changed and remains In full force In both sections. Clean-up measures will be enforced by the Department in the entire coun­ ties of Macomb, Monroe. St. Clair and Wayne. Lapeer county with tlie ex­ ception of Richfield. Deerfield. May­ field. Lapeer. Elba. Oregon, and Mara­ thon townships; Lenawee county with the exception of Hudson. Medina. Rol­ lin. and Woodstock townships; Oak­ land county with the exception of Groveland. Holly. Rose, and Spring­ field townships: and Sanilac county with the exception of Greenleaf, Ever­ green. and Lamottc townships, are al­ so Included in the 1928 compulsory clean-up section. In these eight counties, the State Department of Agriculture feels that the com borer Infestation has reached such proportions as to make it neces­ sary. for the preservation of the com crop, to have a thorough clean-up. Supervisors and Inspectors have been appointed to aid farmers in their clean­ up operations and to see that regula­ tory measures are complied with. The work will be under the general super­ vision of L. H. Worthley, federal ad­ ministrator of com borer control work. Toledo, Ohio. In the other 29 counties included in the quarantined area of the state, far­ mers will be urged to clean up their premises, although the work will not be compulsory. A com borer super­ visor will be appointed for each of these counties to assist farmers with their problems. While the State Department of Ag­ riculture regrets that It has not the funds to carry on enforced clean-up In the whole area and that Congress has not appropriated the money to reim­ burse fanners for their extra labor performed, it believes that a repetition of the splendid cooperation given by fanners to control work throughout the area last spring will result in holding the pest in check in the state. TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL I wonder how many of the oldtimers can recall when Nashville was first made a "weather station." I don’t know for certain who instigated it, but it runs in my mind that the con­ gressmen were to blame. Every spring the country was flooded with free gar­ den seeds which our common garden variety of weather did not seem to ger­ minate successfully. 1 suppose they figured that government weather was necessary to grow government seeds. Nashville always received its full quota, and wai entitled to one of those fore­ casting flag poles with its complement of flags—four "weathers" and one "temperature." * I can remember the democrat and republican pole-raisings as far back as the time when I was only knee-high to a "Greeley Hat." The "tamarack" and the "hickory” were hoisted, to the accompaniment of band music, quad­ rennially on Main street. The dem­ ocratic broom and the republican sprig of foliage were sweeping the cobwebs from the sky when the offi­ cial weather pole was erected in front of James Fleming's Jewelry store. They might have utilized one of the party poles, only there were no flags for forecasting a landslide, or predictlng which presidential candidate would be snowed under. Political bed­ fellows used the same bunk they do now. No better man could have been found for local forecaster than James Fleming. The telephone pay station was Jocated in his place of business— the only party lines were .of a political nature. About the first time Jim ran up the •fair weather" flag it rained for about ten hours. The next day he dried the rag out in the sun while the "shower" flag was floating. These glaring er­ rors on the part of the weather bureau couldn't be helped. It was the tall end of Grover Cleveland’s first reign when everything was so unsettled that the Lord only knew what was coming off or coming down. One morning the temperance people nearly had a fit on beholding the forecast for the next twenty-four hours predicted showers of. Bock beer.

Most people say that election years are bad years In business. This fal­ lacy is much like many other things we take for granted. Election years are good years and bad years just as every fifth or every tenth year may be a good or a bad year. From the Magazine of Business, we find how the election years have been since 1888: 1888—Average year. Started below normal, but in spite of politics, gained steadily and closed above normal. 1896—Below normal, possibly partly due to Bryan’s "free silver'’ campaign, though the period of depression, of which this year formed a part, lasted over into the second year following. 1900—An average year. Considerably above normal in the early months; a little below at the year’s close. 1904—Below normal. 1908—Started with carry-over from the depression of 1907. but Improved later in the year in spite of Its being a presidential year. . 1912—Good year. Between 5 per cent and 10 per cent above normal. 1916—A real boom year, averaging 10 per cent to 15 per cent above normal. 1920—Considerably above normal un­ til last three months of year, when post-war economic readjustment be­ gan. 1924—Below normal during middle of year recovering at close.

The many Nashville friends of the Parody family of Portland. Oregon, will be pained to learn of the death of Elizabeth Parody, news of which reached us this week. She is remem­ bered by many as a most lovable girl, who made friends of all her acquaint­ ances. She was born in Nashville and was graduated from the Nashville school in the class of 1894. An obitu­ ary notice will be found in another col­ umn. The annual meeting of the P. T. A. was held last Wednesday evening. Being obliged to change our program for the evening the school kindly help­ ed us out by holding the regular after­ noon classes from the seventh grade through the high school in the even­ ing, thus giving the parents ar. oppor­ tunity to visit these classes. Many of the parents took advantage of this and we are sure those who did thoroughly enjoyed the evening. At 8:30 the bus­ iness meeting was called. The picture tills month was wen by the sixth grade.

Michigan is about to launch a "SaveB-Llfe” campaign. In hopes of cutting down the number of fatal automobile accidents that are of almost hourly oc­ currence during the height of the sum­ mer season. At a recent conference at Lansing, called at the request of Gov­ ernor Fred W. Green, the problem of educating motorists to safeguard their driving and cut down the toll of lives was discussed by the leading traffic officers and heads of automobile organ­ izations in the state. One speaker declared that forty per cent, of automobile accidents were due to faulty equipment. Ignorance and refusal to abide by traffic regulations, was cited as anoth­ er chief producer of accidents. With increasing automobile traffic the need tor stricter regulations is seen. Not only that, but motorists must be taught the necessity of having their cars in perfect running condition, as well as cultivating a willingness to observe at all times the simple , courtesy of the road. Failure to abide by such regulations, neglect In having faulty mechanism In their cars promptly adjusted, not only endangers their own lives, but the Ilves of many careful drivers as well. Gov­ ernor Green has begun a movement that should have the backing of every owner of an automobile. Treating Eyeglasses A mixture to prevent the dimming of eyeglasres is prepared by mixing oleln-potash soap with about 3 per cent of glycerin and a little oil of turpentine.

This rowdy and bad boy. as he Ls often referred to. caused a great furore in the ranks of sjxirtsmcn when he first escaped from slocked ponds and lakes in Michigan and began to raise large * families thrvuglvout the southern section of the State. He has gained a fairly good foothold in the southern counties al­ though his numbers in the upper pen­ insula are negligible, at present. Despite his bad habits, there arc some things to be said in favor of the carp, according to a report sent to the Michigan Department of Conservation by the Fish and Game Dcjiortmcnt of Ohio. Tlie report says: "A study of his life has revealed several facte that tend to make the un­ biased critic believe that he may-be put to good use. He is a good fish to have in lakes—in limited numbers— because he acts as a scavenger. The female at. various times during the summer, deposits promiscuously in the shallow water among the vegetation from half a million to several millions of eggs and these are fertilized by the male. No protection is given the eggs and tlie young carp are left to care for themselves. Our game fish, such as the bass, sunfishes, bluegills, rockbass, crappies, and catfishes make nests, protect the eggs and the young, and a carp, snake or turtle In the vicinity is usually put to flight by the parent fish.” The carp is also a good pan fish, if properly cared for. The report goes on to say that it Is almost entirely free from internal parasites. In a good rhany restaurants It is served under other names and whose who partake of it invariably admit that it is good, but to the American people in general the name of the carp ranks with that of muskrat, and the name limits the sale and epicurean value of the fish. If the people of Neu' York relish carp, and they do as is evidenced by the large sales in the open market. It be­ hooves Michigan people to utilize them and realize after all, that the carp is edible and a cheap source of meat. The young carp are also utilized by the large and small mouth bass, cer­ tain sun-fishes, crappies and white bass as food. A number of fishermen object to having carp in the lakes. They say tliat the carp eat fish eggs, roll the water, destroy the vegetation, eat live fish and other fish food. To a limit­ ed extent, this is true, depending, of course, upon the local conditions. Carp do not seek out fish eggs and eat them. The carp Ls an omnivorous ea­ ter. He will eat almost anything, and vegetation forms a large part of his diet. It is true that he may suck in fish eggs while rooting around on the bottom of the pond, but this is a mere matter of chance, and Is not intention­ al. The mouth of the carp is not adapted to taking live fish because It Ls small and of the sucker type. In grubbing around the bottom he may accidently take in a dead fish, or crop off the tender shoots and uproot the vegetation, and to a certain extent roil the shallow waer. but the damage this does to fish life in general is greatly exaggerated. In Inland lakes the carp are not so abundant as generally supposed. The bass. sunfishes, bluegills, or crappies far outumber them, and If the carp are detrimental to the spawning fish, why do we find so many young fish in odr Inland lakes? It is safe to say that all the carp tn any lake tn the inland fish­ ing district do not destroy as many game fish as one fisherman who will catch twenty-five female adult blue­ gills during the spring breeding sea­ son. Fred A. Westerman. Superintendent of the Fish Hatcheries of the State, thinks that the carp is in Michigan to stay for some time. "Wc know that he Ls here and that at present we know of no effective method of getting rid of him that is both practical and economical.” Mr. Westerman stated. "I would suggest that Michigan fishermen and those in­ terested in this phase of conservation see what they can do towards making the most of his presence. Detailed study may bring out some good points." GRAB IT—HOLD IT. A great many of our readers know Dick, only that is not his real name. He is a bright-eyed youngster who plays hard every day. A few days ago we watched him and his playmates having a game of base­ ball. The score at the time we stopp­ ed to look is an unimpirtant detail. Dick s eyes were never off the rapidly moving sphere. Suddenly a hard and fast fly was batted to his field. Out In this field was a great pudde of muddy water, left by a recent rain, and the ball went straight for that puddle. And Dick went straight for the ball. Perhaps he saw the puddle—at least he knew it was there—but his eyes were on the ball. As the ball shot for the ground Dick leaped into the air. caught the ball, and splash—he went fiat tn the dirty hole. But the hand that had nailed the fly never touched the ground. He waded out. covered with mud and soaked to the hide, two facts of which he seemed unaware, be­ cause he had caught the fly—and had held it.. Some boys would have started for the ball and stopped at the edge of the puddle. Some others would have lost it when they fell. Dick held on. That particular ball game soon will be a forgotten affair, or at best only a memory. But we can picture Dick when we gets Into the real game of life, as being classed among the star olayers. He will not look for the lit­ tle unpleasant things but will hurl himself at the ball and hold on for dear life. He may fall in the mud— he may even have to be fished out—but when he corrn's to the top. in his hand you will sec the ball. One great affliction of so many of ns Is the tendency to first look for the puddle Instead of the balk And by the time we have figured out every ’ittle chance against a successful ••♦rh. the ball Is gone.

We don't believe Gordon ever realized any more pleasure and fun with his first bicycle. when he was a youngster. The motorcycle is one which has been left at Gordon s bam until the condition of the roads are such that the real owner can safely take it home. There are some things about a motor­ cycle that are a bit treacherous, as Gordon discovered ou his maiden trip Saturday evening, when he attempted to ride it home at supper time. Gordon stepped astride the two-wheel gas buggy with as much confidence as the veteran cowboy mounts a ’ bucking broncho in the movies.

GALEY’S Groceries Mrs Dora Nelson and several other ladles had been over to Hastings Tues­ day evening, and had returned home about mid-night, and the driver, Mrs. Nelson, had taken Mrs. John Greene to her home at the south end of Main street—and then when she attempted to start the engine, the starter was stricken with a paralytic stroke—tn other words it simply stuck, and it re­ mained stuck for keeps. Dora coaxed, and petted, and used all the the gentle persuasive adjectives in the English vocabulary she could think of. but no use. Then Max Miller, an ex-mechan­ ic. who lives just across the street from the Greene home, was routed out of bed—to help loosen the starter. Max tried all the stunts he could think of— wheeled the car and the ladles a block or two. on the pavement—then gave it up as a bad job. Next, the owner of the car was summoned. Gosh, but this was where the "provoking" part came in. Imagine a banker being compelled to get up that early in the morning— it wasn’t mid-night any longer, it was hovering around one a. m. When Kent arrived on the scene of confusion, he and Max put two and two together— what one failed to think of the other was right handy with a new idea, but Still the starter refused to be reason­ able, and the car was finally towed iiome behind Mr. Miller's Whippet.

ADVISE FIRST AID Fertilizers and Soil Culture Aid in Re­ pairing Winter Injuries. The use of nitrate fertilisers for top i dressing fields of winter grams which i have suffered winter injury, and the i use of tlje cult!packer or roller on such | fields are recommendations made by ; the soils and farm crops departments i at Michigan State College. During backward springs, grain on1 soils which are high in moisture con­ tent can not get sufficient nitrates from the soil to furnish the food needed for satisfactory growth. The use of sul­ phate of ammonia or nitrate of soda­ will enable the plant to obtain food and outgrow the winter injury. The use of from 60 to 102 pounds of tlie fertiliser per acre is advised. On add soils, it may be better to use ni­ trate of soda rather than sulphate of ammonia. The fertilizers should be ap­ plied soon ofter plant growth starts. Tlie use of the cult!packer or roller firms the soil and saves many plants that have been partially heaved out Packing the soil also forces . small stones below the surface-and may save repair bills at harvesting time. The firm seed bed made by the cultlpacker assists in securing godd seed­ ings of legumes. The seedings should be made before the soil Is packed or rolled down. OBITUARY. Elizabeth C.

One of the positive signs of spring is the advent of the marble season. No .•>ooner does the warm spring sun melt late winter's snow from pavements and sidewalks than there appear on them mystic chalk marks around which squat boys like Indians'about a camp fire. . "Knuckle down.’’ "Trade you two shooters for a glassy.” and “Your shoot” now become the language of youth, and the tell-tale signs of the season are bulging pockets, cardboard boxes filled with something that rat­ tles suspiciously and having a hole in the top tlirough which a marble might be dropped, and the clatter and roll of marbles on schoolroom floors as sorely strained pants’ pockets let go. In his games is the boy "the father of the man." The marbles of youth prepare the way for the tennis, bill­ lards, golf and other sports and pas­ times of maturity. Marbles is the kin­ dergarten of good sportsmanship. One wonders if there is a normal boy today who does not feel the irre­ sistible urge to play marbles or a nor­ mal man who did not as a boy “shoot" the little spheres of colored glass and clay. So inseparable is the boy from Peace Defined the marble one sometimes thinks to Pence Is liberty In tranquillity.— deprive the boy of his marbles would Cicero. work an irreparable loss.

He eyed me haughtily, nnd then began to admire my leggings and fringed shirt, the nearest be had yet come Jo Indian life, nnd In a low voice, so as not to destroy his dignity, began to babble questions. Bud I really seen wild Indians? Hud I killed any? Was It true the sarnges cooked und ate al their prisoners? At Inst I satisfied his greediness and finally learned what I had desired. Governor Dinwiddle had returned from the Maryland shore and was at the Carlyle house together with oth­ ers of the council. They were hold­ ing tlie last conference before the urnty marched. • . QulUing the Royal George I has­ tened to conclude my business. The lumbering coach hud disappeared by the time I reached the Carlyle house, but the horses of the escort were tethered under the double row of Lombardy poplars and I knew the council was still In session. I was acquainted with the house In­ side nnd out, and It had changed none during ray absence. Mr. Carlyle, a most’ gradous, kindly man, had per­ mitted us boys to explore it und make it figure prominently in some of our games. Once <>n a dare from Busby 1 hud climbed out of a dormer-window and crawled among the heavy-shoul­ dered chimneys and was severely lec­ tured by the owner. I advanced toward the dark door and quickly found a bayonet disput­ ing my approach, with the sentinel growling for me to halt. His side­ long glance at my rille was Ill-favored. My fringed shirt und leggings did not meet with his approval. “I have news fur his excellency. Governor Dinwiddle,” I told him. "This is General ^Jraddock’s head­ quarters. Go back to the road, you woods-rat,” he commanded. . "1 have news for General Brad­ dock," I persisted.* He advanced the bayonet nmk. red with anger, I leaped back to escape l>elng pricked. He came on us I re­ treated; and in this humiliating man­ ner I was being driVen from the por­ tal-arch und its nmsslve carved frame when a familiar voice asked nn expla­ nation, The sentinel stared over my shoulder sullenly but still kept his bayonet at my breast. Without -turning my head I plained: “I am Webster Brond, Mr. Carlyle I have news for the council if I am permitted to give it.”' Mr. Carlyle stepped forward nnd said to the soldier: “I know this young num. He Is one of our citizens and he comes from tlie western country. The council will wish to hear what he has to say." But the red-coat knew Ids orders— and therein was a good soldier—and be would not give in an inch until a superior had pa.«sed on my appli­ cation. He bawled out, and a ser­ geant appeared on the scene, and Mr. Carlyle repeated ids indorsement of me. The sergeant ordered the senti­ nel back to his post and told us we were at liberty tb proceed.

I produced a written communication from George Croghan, given me by •him tlie night I Stopped at his place on Aughwlck creek. It was addressed to Governor Morris and I placed it on the table. ’ His excellency opened It and read it aloud. It stated that ten thousand pounds given In presents to the In­ dians at Will's creek and in their vil­ lages would tic every savage In Penn­ sylvania to England, provided that tlie gifts were accompanied by a plausible explanation of England’s designs on tlie Western country. Such liberality, declared Croghan, ~ • would “see the scalp of every Frenchman at the heads of the Ohio smoking In wigwarns, in Shamokin, or banging on poles in Shenange.” "Ten thousand pound? to red sav­ ages !” rumbled General Braddock, and he smashed Ids fist on die table 4&P fP Stores have earned rned the wide re* cognition which is theirs £or— Quality considered, they always sell for less! 1 ESTABLISHED 1859 | WHERE ECONOMY RULES*] Grandmother's Bread large loaf Flour O Delicious !

"After all, sir." soothed Mr. Frank­ lin, ‘Tort Duquesne will fall to Gen­ eral Braddock’s veterans and not be­ cause of the wavering allegiance nt the natives. The tribes are with us today and accept presents from France tomorrow. And on another day they will come hack to us. The truth of the matter Is sir. the Indians favor neither English nor French, and would heartily rejoice If the two races would cut each other's throats until not a white man was-left In North America.’’ This Speech made an impression, and Braddock agreed: “Aye.

Not from the ferocity of the beasts but from their timidity. These dogs were so frighened from the clamor of the bell that they made a bee-line for the barn. The only reason we held on to the leashes was because they were so taut we were unable to unwrap them from our wrists.

MISS BERNITA GUNTHROPE BECOMES EASTER BRIDE. We are in receipt of a copy of the Stockton (Calif.) Record, issue of Sat­ urday'. April 7. in which appears the marriage of Miss Bcmita Gunthrope to Mr. Fred Y. Griffin of Tahoka. Texas, which took place at the heme of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Gunthorpe. Flora street of that city on Easter Sunday. The Gunthropes were former resi­ dents of this vicinity, and have lived in California since 1923. Mrs. Gun­ thrope will be remembered by many of our readers as Miss Lina Davis. Mr. •’nd Mrs. Gunthrojx? were married in 1902. The rooms of the house were beau­ tifully decorated with lilies appropri­ ate to the Eastertide. Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served. A center piece of Easter lilies and lilies of the valley’ in combination with fefti. adorned the table. The bride wore a gray-blue French Dracoll frock of satin back crepe fashioned simply, a drape at the right side and bell sleeves being interesting features. She carried an arm bouquet of Easter lilies, baby breath and lilies of the valley. Miss Jane Willard was maid of honor and Stewart Monizes, Jr., acted as bridegroom. Mr. and Mrs. Griffin have established a new home at the Norine apartments of that city, following their wedding tour through Northern California. The News extends congratulations. WILL GIVE REMEDIES FOR MICHIGAN SOILS. East Lansing.—A specially equipped truck carrying a staff of soils doctors has been scheduled by the soils de­ partment at State College to visit 28 Michigan counties this season. Several meetings will be held in each of tlie counties. The truck carries dis­ play cases that show some of the re­ sults obtained by better soils practices that have been used by farmers of the State. Samples of soli and marl will be tested at each stop. Michigan is rich In marl deposits but there Is said to be a great variation in the value of this material from different pits. The rapidly increasing use of com­ mercial fertlllers by Michigan farm­ ers makes this subject one which takes up much of the time at each meeting. The value of the fertilizers is very sel­ dom questioned; but adapted analyses, the time and rate of application, and whether to apply the fertilizer In crop rows onto sow the material broadcast are questions which have to be an­ swered in every locality. Counties which will be visited by the truck are: Emmet. Charlevoix. Presque Isle. Antrim. Otsego. Alpena. Oscoda. Manistee. Wexford. Ogemaw, Iosco, Arenac. Oceana, Newaygo, Kent, Me­ costa. Ottawa. Clinton. Allegan. Tus­ cola. Sanilac. Barry, Ingham. Living­ ston. Kalamaaoo Calhoun. Berrien and Branch. The Nashville high school base ball team was defeated in its first game of the season at Lake Odessa Monday af­ ternoon. A seven Inning contest re­ sulted in a close score, the final count standing 3 to 2. The next game will be played at Woodland Friday after­ noon of this week. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS April 16, 1928.

Stace. One hundred years ago when the rea. settlement of Michigan was just be­ ginning. two beautiful peninsulas which form the state were covered with forests. Woods held possession of 35,­ 000,000 acres of a total land area of 36.777.200 acres. The forests of Michigan were of three general types—pine or soft­ wood forests, hardwood forests. and swamp forests. The type of the forest depended largely upon the character of the soil on which it grew. The pines were the lordly White Pine, the stately Norway or Red Pine, and the inferior Jack Pine. These grew upon the light, sandy soils—soils so porous they would not retain mois­ ture for any great length of time. The White Pine waxed great upon the bet­ ter light soils: the Red Pine throve up­ on the medium light soils; while the hardy Jack Pine spread over the poor­ est lands where no other trees could find sustenance. The liardwoods were principally Oak. Hickory. Beech, Maple, Ash. Elm and Hemlock. Where the hardwoods stood were usually found better soils—soils that could be used in the growing of farm crops and the developing of fruit­ ful orchards. The swamp timber Included Spruce, Cedar. Balsam. Larch and the like. The hardwood forests covered the lower part of the State—the present out-standing agricultural and indus­ trial sections—with patches of pine scattered here and there among them. The Kingdom of the Pine was all the northern part of the lower peninsula from the Grand Haven-Saginaw line to the Straits of Mackinac. It also spread across the Straits and took in much of the eastern half of the upper peninsula. There were hardwood forests, too, tn thir kingdom of the Pine—broad belts of them and large blocks of them wherever there was rich enough soil and sufficient moisture to sustain them. Hardwoods wen#* also ms wed in the iron and copper regions of the Upper Peninsula and -Jong the Lake Super­ ior coast. ' BARRY COUNTY Y. M. C. A. ITEMS.

Waite. Shawnee, Okla. Fred S. Wallace, Editor of the Cos­ hocton (Ohio) Tribune, saysi That the waste baskets of newspa­ per executives contain the best proof in the world that the average newspaper publisher doesn’t know the value of his own product. Each' mall brings end­ less requests for free space in the news columns from propagandists of every conceivable variety. Engaged in this mad scramble for free publicity are churches, collages, re­ tail and wholesale mercantile organi­ zations, manufactories of every de­ scription from the largest down to the smallest concerns seeking national dis­ tribution. All of them are animated by the common belief that it will be worth, millions to them if they can on­ ly gain access to the columns of Ameri­ can newspapers. Cleverly written and finely illustrat­ ed articles carrying cunningly, conceal­ ed advertising are offered in mat form accompanied by the patronizing state­ ment that the mat will come free to all publishers who will indicate on the enclosed postal their column width and willingness to donate the necessary space. The saddest reflection involved in this is the number of newspapers that are gullible enough to print gratis an enormous amount of pure advertis­ ing for which they are entitled to pay and which would be |>aid for at higher space rates than they are now getting were the publishers as alive to the val­ ue of their own product as are other manufacturers. • The truth is the modem newspaper is the most valuable publicity medium the world has ever known and will con­ tinue to be such only so long as it keeps its columns free from this mass of seductive propaganda. The chief ’ fault atf the newspaper is its failure to command an advertising rate in keep­ ing with the acknowledged value of its space. Copyright 1928. Traced to Real Skeleian The precise origin of the. phrase, “skeleton In the closet,” is not known. It is supposed to have originated with a college professor who secretly con­ ducted investigations in anatomy, and for thia purpose keeping a skeleton concealed, since public opinion at that time was opposed to any desecration of a dead body.

Oil Under Ocean? Geologists say that the source beds of most oilfields are marine in origin, deposited millions of years ago. Through the ages oil of these sea de­ posits was concentrated into pools that are now being drained. Therefore there seems no reason why the bed of the ocean should not be a source of future oil supply. Probably Most every man craves for a “den” In his home. Possibly because he al­ ready has a keeper.—Atlanta Consti­ tution. A doctor in Detroit, has introduced a novel system for recording the exami­ nations that he makes. He supplies each patient with u chart of the hu­ man body, then as the examination proceeds and the doctor locales vari­ ous. ailments he punches their approxi­ mate location on the chart. The pa­ tient brings this chart with him on subsequent visits and the doctor is able quickly to check over, various weak spots and see If there has been im­ provement. One business man who visited him apparently suffered from everything from chilblains to falling hair, for his chart was simply covered with neat punch marks. He took the chart home and left it by accident on the living room table. HLs son—a trifle near-sighted—entered the room and mistook the chart for a new player pi­ ano roll, and when'the father returned to the room he was greeted with the strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." A Little Ancient History. Once upon a time—not many moons ago—during the late fall of 1927, to be exact—a large cream can (net wt. 100' lbs. ?) was sitting on John Martens' open-air porch at his produce and feed station when he arrived In the early morning to begin his ARDUOUS la­ bors. When John carried the can into his office, it was so heavy and so com­ pletely filled—with cream ?— a smile of content appeared on his face when he thought of the "neat" profit on such quantity lots, as well as because the day's business had 'opened with such a “bang" John hurried and bustled around, built a fire, heated a kettle of water, and adjusted the "Babcock." Everything in readiness, John pulled the cover off the can—gee. but thd contents smelled sweet—and fresh. Next, John picked up the cream stir­ ring device—and shoved It Into the can —no. come to think about it—he didn't do any such thing—he merely tried to, For a moment John was all “at sea" to understand what was wrong. The stir­ ring apparatus stopped right on top. John didn't know whether his early morning patron had brought him a can of butter, a can of “high-test" cream, or a can of hen fruit. But. the can didn't contain any one of 'em. When John's courage sort of ebbed back to normal and he looked into that can, what do you suppose he saw? SUGAR—just plain, ordinary granulat­ ed sugar. P. S.—There's just one other little detail we forgot to mention in the fore­ going item—we forgot to tell you the Scientists now declare that the name of the owner of the can.

Most of you Ikes have been out still fishing, with minnows, or frogs, and after patiently waiting for an hour, or so. for a little indicative nibble, have fallen asleep. A little later you have awakened with a start, and were sur­ prised to see that the cork on your line had been pulled under the water. And you well knew there was a big one busy at the other end of the string, swallowing the bait, leader, sinker, and all. Then you would jump to your feet and stand In the end of the boat and give Mr. Pike plenty of time to swallow a yard or so more of the line just to make sure he would be hooked for keeps. Then, with all these extra precautions you sometimes had a big he bass or lady pike get away.' Well, all these many and varied experiences— and MORE, are not new to Bill Irland. One day late last Ml BUI was out on Thomnpple lake, fishing, and sleeping, etc. When Bill woke up after a short nap, he discovered that his cork was missing—pulled .down deep Into the water. Judging by the perpendicular manner in which the line hung. Bill took a firm grip on the big pole, as he stood up in the boat. Then he waited— and waited—and waited some more— for the fool fish to finish its meal and start away. After about half an hour, or longer, when he happened to glance out over the "ocean"—there was his cork, about twenty rods from the boat, drifting nonchalantly away, so to speak. Gosh! And Still More Ancient History. This time It starts out something like this: "Save the dog. by all means.” No. the dog wasn't Teddy. It was Ted­ dy's progeny—Brownie, we guess that’s what Charlie Hess calls him. Charlie was over to an oil station, or a garage. had lighted a match and the match had fallen in a rather peculiar and un­ certain place in the car. and right in the immediate vicinity of Brownie. When friendly assistance naked if he wanted help to put the match out. Charlie's first thot was to yell: "No. save the dog."

I caught the strains of the “Grenadiers’ March," and my heart beat fast at the brave rolling of the drums. At lust the march on Fort Duques­ ne had commenced, and we were off to have It out with the Frenchmen. And sickening of the dust, I picked up my rifle, struck through a noble grove of onks and started to find my friend, the Onondaga, Round Paw of. the Wolf dan. . CHAPTER II f Der Hexenkopf After passing through the -Blue ridge 1 felt as if my visit to Alexan­ dria had taken 'place in a dream. No place here for gay coats and ruffled shirts and silken hose; and what mockery would the undergrowth make of my dainty indy's exquisite attire! A buzzard quartered the sky, and I knew there would be many of them before long following the army. Round Paw of the Wolf clan bare­ ly glanced up as I stood beside his small fire, and yet he had discovered me coming or else he would not have been seated with his scarlet blanket covering him from head to foot 1 dropped on the ground and laid aside my rifle. He filled and lighted his pipe and passed it through the blue smoke. After a few whiffs I returned it Finally he remarked: “My white brother has come from the home of bls father." “My father Is a ghost. There Is no home for me in Alexandria. My fa­ ther's house belongs to another.” He was silent for a few minutes then asked: “You carry belts for OnasT' (The governor of Pennsylvania.) “I carry a talking-paper to George Croghan,” I told him. tapping the breast of my hunting shirt "Tlie big chief from over the stinking water has asked me to get men with long rifles for his army. And I have said I would go to Duquesne again. Does the man of the Wolf go with me?” He rose and allowed his blanket to drop down on his loins. During my absence he had repainted white the |hiw on his client, the totem mark of his clan, and b* was oiled for war. I know he was eager tn be deen In- the forests beyond the Alleghenies and was even now ready to start. Al­ though leg-tired I did not unpack iny blankets, but signified my readiness to travel. He produced some smoked meat and parched corn for me to eat and after I had finished he made up hl« travel-bundle, nnd we were off. As I walked behind him, as much ot an Indian In appearance ns he If not for my disheveled hnlr, I described the gallant appearance of the arnty ns It marched out of Alexandria. His only comment was: “Big noise.

"Waste and confusion had blighted the fine spirit of Du­ quesne’s defenders. I had learned this much from Captain Beaujeu who had readily accepted me us a loyal French­ man. Round Paw was never a gossip. We had traveled together for two years and there had been many days when he barely spoke. We first met on Lake Erie’s southern shore when a pack of Hurons and a few Frenchmen were giving me a hard run and on the point of ditching me. It was Round Paw’s fierce war cry. the ter­ rible defiance of the Onondagns. and his deadly arrows lhut had caused my purauers to slow up the chase, fear­ ing an ambuscade. in silent companionship we followed the valley of the Shenandoah and crossed the Potomac two miles west of the Conococheague and made camp in a grove of oaks. While the squir­ rels were broiling over the coals. Round Paw again renewed the white paint ou his chest. It struck me as peculiar that be should be so per­ sistent in making himself fit for war when for once the Western country was safe for the English and with but little likelihood of the French and their red allies ever being able to bring us the red hatchet The campaign? against Crown Point and Niagara might fall for a time, but the conquest of Duquesne was assured. With that stronghold In our hands, we should be freed from feur from the heads of the Ohio to iutke Erie. Even those Indians in western Pennsylvania who were inclined to help the French dare not take the warpath until they knew the outcome of Braddock’s expe­ dition. So. If ever there wax a time when the harir-rountry settlers felt warranted In staying by their rpring crops and leaving the bka-khouaes un­ occupied It was now. Yet Round Paw kept his paint fresh and was most particular In dressing his hair. At the risk of violating his sense of etiquette. I remarked on the use­ lessness of it all. Without ceasing his labors be told me: “Onus and Onontio—the governor of Canada—are on a red path that is very long. More than one huntlngsnow-xnld-Octolier—will come before the hatchet is'buried." I did not believe it. We were up at sunrise and soon had crossed tlie creek and turned north to make McDowell's place. We had cov­ ered a mile or so when we came upon a most interesting spectacle. Two men. with horse-belle around their necks and their arms tied behind them, were harnessed together with rawhide thongs*. and were being driven like a team of horses by a tall ungainly youth. The driver held the lines In one hand and flourished a drover’s long whip In the other. His light red­ dish hair escaped in all directions from his ragged fur hat and gave him the appearance of being hugely sur­ prised. “What have the men done?’ I in­ quired. pauring and leaning on my rifle. “Ding, them most mortally! But they’ve done enough.” he cried, with a side dance of curiosity at the Indian. “And I don’t have to tell every wild man of the woods what I'm doing, or why I’m doing It.” “That's true,” I agreed. “But we can see what you're doing. My friend here afiys they are Frenchmen and that he believes you will boll and eat them." The poor devils set up a most dolor­ ous bowling. The redhead scowled with his eyes and laughed with his big mouth. He hardly knew whether to approve of us, or take offense. But the terror of his prisoners decided him. and with a loud guffaw be cried: “That would be a fetching Joke on the two of them! B'iled in a kettle! Lord’s law-! But they would look com­ ical jammed In a kettle r Now that his temper was softened be explained further: “These Infernal scoundrels stole two bells from Ben the Great cove drover at the mill last night. I’m working for him. The fools could 'a' got away if they'd know’d enough to hide tlie : bells somewhere while they kept hid. But they took the bells along with them and I fullered the noise and caught them early this'morning. Now they're taking the bells back. Whoa, hisb! Stand still there, you devil, or I'll tan your jacket nineteen to the dozen!” And to bind his promise he cracked the whip and elicited a rare yell. “In God's great mercy, air, help us!" bleated the prisoner on the offside. “We was about to follow tlie Carlisle road bound for Philadelphia. We’d have no need for bells after we’d reached Shippensburg or Carlisle. We did but borrpw them. He would have found them' waiting for him when he came back.” । “Not need my bells, you d—d res­ cale! What would Philadelphia folks think of me driving horses along their road without bells? How would I find them If they strayed while I was there?” And he punctuated each query with a clever slash apiece. “If they stole your bells, you serve them right Thieves should be well whipped, so their welts will burn, when tempted to steal again. We'll keep you company to the mllL” He now took time to explain how be had hired out two day* before to go with the drover, who was driving some cattle through the Eastern set­ tlements. “I’m Balsar Gromit," he added. “I live at the mill, or two miles below tL wit6 Richard and John Craig. Made it look bud when these rascals stole the bells right after I took service with Ben. It hurt my feelings moot dlngly."

It means much more to us than we realire nt the time. So many of the daughters who were away for the first tame hare written how much they wished they could, have been with us. Some wrote “tills is the first one I've ever missed.” On account of so much illness not ns many as usual were there but the banquet was perhaps the best. After Mrs. G. E. Wright asked the blessing a fine bunch of high school boys served us. they in turn being served by Mr. and Mrs. Wagner. Will Gibson, Rev. G. E. Wright and Mrs. Fred Wotring, chairman of the kitch­ en squad. At the close of the delicious supper the president of the missionary society introduced Mrs: G. E. Wright as toastmaster. Following is the program as render­ ed: Trio—Mildred Cole. Louise Wotring. Solo—-Gladys Potter Toast to the Daughters—Mrs. Will Gibson. Toast to the Mothers—Miss Elizabeth Gibson. Address—Mrs. Blake. Blest Be The Tie That Binds—Con­ gregation. . The musical numbers were very much enjoyed. We are proud of our Nashville girls’ talent and their will­ ingness to use It. Mrs. Will Gibson gave a toast to the daughters which consisted chiefly of memories which were in part humor­ ous and then passed on to more ser­ ious things. It is splendid when a mother with a grown daughter can say the beautiful things of the grand­ mother’s life that Mrs. Gibson said. Elizabeth Gibson then gave the toast to the mothers. If we are to Judge Elizabeth’s toast, we prophesy that she will be giving much the same­ kind of a toast forty years hence that her mother did Thursday evening. Mrs. Blake of Middleville then gave a wonderfully meaty address—no. It was more of a heart to heart talk, com­ ing out of her own experience as a mother and as a daughter. The great­ est urge of all is to be a greater pal to your daughter, and daughter make a confidant of your mother. It was one of the finest addresses given in Nash­ ville in many a day and we hope we may hear her again. Mrs. Belle Powers who was chair­ man of the dining room committee, surely aided much In the success of the banquet. The tables were decorat­ ed in green and yellow ribbons, flowers and candles. The front of the room was decorated with spring birds. The committee desire to thank each one who In any way contributed to the success of the banquet, for much of the success was due to so many working in harmony with us. TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL Among the letters received from different sections of the country con­ cerning these "Telling Tales." which • Fike” Is kind enough to print, is one from Frank C. Boise, 217 Chamber of Commerce. Denver, Colo. He says that Mrs. Boise, who is visiting their daughter, Maud, in San Jose, .Cali­ fornia, has been sending them to him, and he has been mailing them to Mrs. Mont Ferry (Edna Truman). Tills proves that Len is getting out a migh­ ty good newspaper to hold out-of-state subscribers for a generation. A sur­ vey shows that such subscribers were weaned from their home-toWn paper .in about ten years. • The tale I shall relate this week concerns one of the funniest coinci­ dences I can recall of my kid days. Nashville in the early eighties could boast of some very clever people in cliromatics. There was Ezra Drake, the Sunday school artist, who with colored crayons could picture with much skill the theme of the current week's lesson. For. a commercial artist. I think Frank Wolcott was quite pro­ ficient. He could doll up a buggy that even one of Jake Osmun’s sparking plug horses would have felt proud to have pulled. I am not throwing any -wet blanket over Jake's livery stock. When a fellow and his best girl arc given a livery horse so gentle it can be driven with one hand, it does not dero­ gate the animal by calling it a spark­ ing plug. Then there was Dr. Frank R. Tim­ merman who painted the scenery in the Nashville opera house. I can see all those curtains now, especially the drop curtain—the ship riding at anch­ or; the billowy waves surging moun­ tain high. This curtain was not made of asbestos, it didn't need to be for Frank painted the water so natural that it would have drowned out any fire that came near it. In my judgment. Mrs. Frank Boise and Miss Matic Hindmarch were pro­ fessionals. Their numerous canvases were marvelous in technique and col­ oring. Now I have a confession to make. At one time. I took painting lessens of Malle Hindmarch, but thank the Lord! I did not learn how to crochet as did Edwin McCartney. I always felt like burying what little talent I did have in a napkin every N. F.

The April meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce was held Mon­ day evening at the Masonic temple, and due to counter attractions the at­ tendance was somewhat lighter than usual. Those present, however, en­ joyed a splendid supper, served by the ladies of the Eastern Star, and in ad­ dition to the regular business meeting had the pleasure of listening to a fine talk by a former resident, Rev. Albert G. Beard of Otsego. Rev. Beard was connected with the Chamber of Commerce both at Otsego and at Newaygo, a former charge, and Is an enthusiastic booster for this kind of organization. His talk was along the line of community progress and he emphasized his points with numerous anecdotes of a huiiorous nature. He also recounted some of the activities of the Otsego organization, and offered several meritorious sug­ gestions for the consideration of. the local members. During the business session, arrange­ ments were completed for the erection of the balance of the road signs, and an advertising committee, consisting of Frank Caley. D. D. Hess and L. W. Face, was appointed to investigate the possibility of staging something in the nature of a "Window Show.” A meet­ ing of.all the business men of the village will be held at the club rooms this Thursday evening at eight o’clock, to hear their report. C. H. Tuttle and E. V. Smith were appointed as ’’Eats’’ committee for the May meeting. MRS. ORA WATTS, FORMER RESI­ DENT PASSES AWAY.

DIAM ANTE-PATON. Announcement has been received of the marriage of Anthony Diamante and Miss Margrete Lucile Paton of Charlotte, which occurred at Jackson. Michigan, on Wednesday, April 18. Mrs. Diamante was a popular mem­ ber of the younger set in our neigh­ boring city, and on the occasions she visited here she made many friends in the village. Mr. Diamante has lived in Nashville nearly all his life, and at the present time is in the employ of the Red Man Tobacco company. An­ thony has been with this company for a couple of years, with a very success­ ful record, and also has the distinction of being the youngest salesman in the country. The young couple will probably make their future- home at Jackson, as that city is the centra! point of Mr. Dia­ mante's territory. The News joins with their local friends in extending felicltation*.

"The Doll Shop” was the name of the play given by the first and second grades as a part of the P. T. A. pro­ gram. Monday evening at the Metho­ dist church. The program was open­ ed by the kindergarten band playing two selections. This is indeed a real band with instruments, uniforms and all things necessary for the making of a band. In the first act of the play the shop keeper is seen dusting his dolls which are of all kinds, from Teddy Bear and Raggedy Ann to talking, walking and baby dolls. Mother Goose dolls, and dolls from all coun­ tries. A little girl comes with her mother to choose a doll, and after looking them over decides on the baby doll. At the close of the first act the band favored us with two more selections. The time of the second act was mid­ night. and with midnight came a fairy who touched the dolls with her wand bringing them all to life. Each doll did Ills or her port and then joined hands and danced around the fairy. They made so much noise it awoke the shop-keeper and he came in with his candle to see what was happening. But the dolls heard his step and were all very quiet and in their places when he came into the shop and looked them all over. Then kissing the top of the baby doll’s head he blew out his candle and went back to bed. After the play the seventh grade glrk sang "The Violet Lady” by Red­ mon. The church was filled and I am sure everyone felt that these little folks and their teachers were to be con­ gratulated on the splendid program they had given us. BIRTHDAY ACTIVITIES. Charles Laurent was given a real surprise last Saturday to celebrate his 72nd birthday. It is a well establish­ ed fact that everyone knows Charles sleeps days and nightwatches at the factory nights, so that part of getting the guests there while he was sleeping was thought an easy matter. Howev­ er r-that particular morning Charles didn’t want to go to bed, which de­ cidedly held up the proceedings to a considerable extent. He finally did re­ tire though, and then the guests ar­ rived. among whom were Mrs. Viola Hagerman. Virgil Laurent, and Mr. and Mrs Chas Miller, all of Battle Creek. Mrs. Maud Swartz and son of Lansing and Mr. and Mrs. Harn1 Laurent. Mr. Laurent was well remembered on this happy occasion, and it was a really, truly surprise to him to be called to dinner and find so many present in his honor.

Main St. ADVISES RESEEDING OF ALFALFA FIELDS. Partial Stands Can be Saved and Fair Crop of Hay be Secured. Owners of alfalfa fields upon which, part of the plants have been winter killed are advised by the farm crops department at Michigan State College not to plow down the alfalfa but to reseed the fields. In case where the plants are killed out In well defined areas, these spots should be thoroughly worked up with a springtooth harrow and seed broad­ cast at the rate of eight to ten pounds to the acre. On fields where the stand has not been killed out tn spots, but where the stand has been thinned over the en­ tire acreage, the spring tooth harrow should be used on the whole field and the seed broadcast as before. Reseeding will not be successful on fields where .June grass or quack grass has made a -sod. A heavy roller or a cultipacker should be used on the fields after the alfalfa seed has been sown. The pecking of the soil will help cover the seed and will also assist in saving some plants that have been partially heaved from the soil during the winter. Reseeding fields will pay in most cases where from one-half to twothirds of the original stand is still alive. A fair crop of hay will be pro­ duced on these fields. Tuesday’s radio report* conveyed the news that Frank Bennett, the aviator who was stricken with pneumonia while flying to the relief of the ma­ rooned crew of the German trans-At­ lantic plane, passed away at 10:41 a. m. at a Quebec hospital.

MORAL: Always something TIMELY in seasonal merchandise AT this store. The Postoffice Pharmacy E L. KANE Wall Paper Paint We Deliver TO ALL ADHERENTS . OF CATHOLICISM We wish to make this statement and sincere apology in justice to our readers and good friends of the Roman Catholic belief: Through no deliberate design or intention on our part, and due mainly to the fact of the extra amount of work in getting out our Masonic edition of recent date, two statements were reprinted in the ar­ ticle “The Attitude of Masonry Tow­ ard Religion and Morals", by Mr. R. Eugene Griggs, which we feel as a Mason and a citizen, have no rightful place in any American publication. We say this in equal justice and re­ spect to Mr. Griggs, whom we do not believe intended his statements to mean all that they might be construed to convey—a direct attack upon the principles and rules of the Roman Catholic church. The two paragraphs which we arc referring to follow that portion of Mr. Griggs' article which makes it plain that Masonry does not question the particular theory of applicants for ad­ mission other than to acknowledge the belief in a Supreme Being, and that the teachings and demands to be found in the Great Light displayed upon Masonic altars is left to the pri­ vate judgment of Individuals as to their meanings and significance. We reproduce again these two paragraphs to make It plain to our readers just how out of place they are In the ar­ ticle, and to what a small degree, even If these misleading statements were true in the broadest sense of the word, they really concern us as Masons. “The Roman Catholic church cannot tolerate this attitude, for they claim that the hlearchy of their church sets aside individual judgment and their priesthood will tell you what to believe. ''This position, has always been destructive of individual liberty.' and led to the greatest crimes in the name of God and Christ, that the world has known." The followers of the Roman Cath­ olic faith and the members of the Masonic Fraternity in the United States, as well as any other Christian denomination, have no cause for un­ friendly disagreement because they may necessarily vary in their versions of great principles which have their foundation in God's word. Let us say here that other Christian organizations aside from the Roman Catholic church find it equally derogatory to their belief and principles to join secret organizations—a privilege and a liberty which they have a just right to observe. We do riot feel any organiza­ tion should be criticized or censured for such action, nor do we believe they have ever led or will lead to the "greatest crimes in the name of God and Christ" mentioned in the forego­ ing paragraph. Had we had the time to read the article more carefully we. should have deleted these two paragraphs. We ask that they be entirely forgotten and that this apology will suffice. Leslie P.4 Feighner.

Stace. One hundred years ago when the real settlement of Michigan was just beginning, two beautiful peninsulas which form the state were covered with forests. Woods held possession of 35,000.000 acres of a total area of 36,­ 777.200 acres. The forests of M'chlgan were of three general types—pine or softwood forests, hardwood forests, and swamp forests. The type of the forest de­ pended largely upon the character of the soil on which they grew. The pines were lordly White Pine, the stately Norway or Red Pine, and the inferior Jack Pine. These grew upon the light, sandy soils; soils so por­ ous they would not retain moisture for any great length of time. The White Pine waxed great upon the better light soil: the Red Pine throve upon the medium light soils; while the hardy Jack Pine spread over the poorest lands where no other trees could And sus­ tenance. The hardwoods were principally oak, hickory, beech, maple, ash, elm and hemlock. Where the hardwoods stood were usually found better soils—soils that could be used in the growing of farm crops and the developing of fruit­ ful orchards. The swamp timber included spruce, cedar, balsam, larch and the like. The hardwood forests covered the lower port of the state—the present out-standing agricultural and indus­ trial sections—with patches of pine scattered here and there among them. The kingdom of the pine was all the northern part of the lower peninsula from the Grand Haven-Saginaw line to the straits of Mackinac It alm spread across the straits and took in much of the eastern half of the upper peninsula. There were hardwood forests, too, in this kingdom of the Pin*—broad belt* of them and large blocks of them end sufficient moisture to sustain then*. Hardwoods were also massed tn the iron and copper regions of Greatly Underpriced An Example of Fine Quality at Reasonable Prices Every woman takes pride in a tastefully furnished bedroom.

Under average Michigan conditions it is necessary to have the seed bed for oats or barley in a state of fertili­ ty willch will produce a high yield per acre if any appreciable profit is to be secured from the crops, according to a statement by the soils department at Michigan State College. On soils which are naturally deficient in plant food, or on those where the fertility' has been reduced by ex­ cessive cropping, the use of commercial fertilizers is recommended. Acid phosphate has proved to bo profitable in increasing yields of oats and barley on the heavier soils which are especially adapted'to these crops. On lighter soils or those notably de­ ficient In plant food, the use of a com­ plete fertilizer with an analysis of 2­ 16-2 or 4-16-4 is advised. Both the complete fertilizer and the acid phosphate should be applied at the rate of from 150 to 200 pounds to the acre. The addition of the fertilizer aids in securing a higher yield of grain, and Is also good Insurance for a stand of clover or other legume seeded with the grain crop. AUCTION!

Cromit turned to me and said: “Now I’m ready to show old Brad­ dock's army how to fight.” Tlie Widow Cox spoke up and, shrillyjipbralded him: "Shame on you, you lumbering doit!

FERN CROSS E Siiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii^ TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL In broadcasting the letter for this week, I ask your indulgence in a little static for it hooks up well with the story. Recently. I listened to Ben Lindsey and Clarence Darrow in their respec­ tive debates In Cleveland. Clarence argued with a Rabbi while Ben chew­ ed and eschewed the rag with a gen­ tleman of the cloth. Clarence endea­ vored to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that man was a machine: Ben tried to demonstrate that companion­ ate marriage will keep the . espouse! "machinery from the scrap heap, he being the king pin connoisseur of do­ mestic scraps. I had heard the miracle-minded Darrow before—the man who changes the electric juice into the elixir of life. As for Lindsey, it was my first close­ up of him and I was struck with his remarkable resemblance to the screen comedian, Ben Turpin. Of course. Turpin has companionate eyes—optics that don't see where they are looking. In all of Turpin's screen- burlesques on home life, he never made such a joke of marriage as does Lindsey with his chimerical theories. Lindsey's train of thought resembled the “Honeymoon Express"—diner and baggage car. but no berths. I hopped aboard the “blind baggage" and was carried, in my fancy back to the days when I was a kid in Nashville. I re­ called a certain birthday anniversary of mv grandmother. Neighbors and friends kindly remembered her with tokens wrapped and tied with such painstaking scrupulousness they had the external appearance of being precious and priceless. I know some of them were priceless for the cost tag had been removed. I guess all of us sneakingly look a gift-horse in the price tag. But with a gift-automobile it's different. We look in the gas tank and every other old place to see why it won't start. Among my grandmother's presents was a "Home, Sweet Home" motto. You know the kind—one of those per­ forated cardboard affairs in which various colored yams are cross-stitched back and forth through the holes. Commercial wallpaper cleaner was un­ known. so when some particular spot became too conspicuous, they hung a motto over it. Chair-tippers. who left a silhouette of their heads among the birds and flowers, were a menace to the housewife. But it couldn't be helped, for barbers ran a regular lub­ ricating station. It didn't make any difference Whether a fellow had a one or an eight-cylinder head he got the same palmful of hair-oil. Gone are the mottoes from our homes, but they have staged a come-back in the private offices of our big business men. True, the mottoes have b^en Jazzed up a Ti­ tle. such as "This Is My Busy Day": "The Man Who Lends Money Is Out." etc. But I was speaking of that “Home Sweet Home" motto. My grandmother without her glasses picked it up and looked at it. To her way of thinking it was a botch. While the yams were beautiful in their coloring, they were not worked with smooth precision; they presented a twist 2d. snary and knotted effects-the whole ensemble was chaos. Putting on her glasses, the better to see what manner of thing this was. she made the discovery she was look­ ing at it from the wrong side—the seamy side. The same side of "Home. Sweet Home” Lindsey has been gazing upon for the past twenty-five years. The big domestic parade of misfits, that have passed in review before the Honorable Ben. exhibited the "Razzberry" side of the motto, and gave him the idea the whole world is suffering from an attack of moral dyspepsia. For such that are. Ben should have prescribed the tablets the Lord handed down to Moses Yes. there are quite a few people who do not believe mat­ rimony is an institution where puppy love runs around wearing a dog collar for a wedding ring. Curly-headed Ada Webster wrote in my album when she was a youngster. I may be mistaken, but it runs tn my mind that she was the young Miss gave my grandmother the motto. C. W. Francis. The Michigan Department of Health has just completed the tabulation of the death certificates for the year 1927. This tabulation Ls watched carefully from year to year because of the unen­ viable high diphtheria death rate in Michigan. For the past fifteen years Michigan has had a higher death rate from diphtheria than that of the coun­ try at large. The danger of diphtheria is a subject concerning which every Michigan parent should be well in­ formed. The study of the diphtheria rate.of the various counties indicates where this unnecessary loss of life is the greatest. In Barry County, the local physi­ cians organized themselves into a Diphtheria Prevention Committee and administered toxin-antitoxin to every school child, so far as that was pos­ sible. The Michigan Department of Health cooperated by furnishing print­ ed matter and the services of lecturers for Parent-Teacher Associations. Women's clubs, luncheon clubs, and other groups where the leading citizens could be reached. As a result of this cooperative effort of the local physi­ cians and the Michigan Department of Health, almost every school child In the county was immunized against diphtheria. As a direct result. Barry county did not have a single death from diphtheria during the entire year of 1927.' The diphtheria death rate for the State was 11.7 per hundred thousand population. In a group of fourteen counties in which about one half of the school children had been immunized with toxin-antitoxin, the rate was 5.9 per hundred thousand and in Barry county the rate was zero. It, therefore, becomes obvious that any community can reduce its diphtheria death rate to any degree it wishes, proriding the community will take pro­ per steps to obtain this desirable end. The people of Barry county are to be congratulated on the fact that their own county medical society sponsored this work and carried it through to such a successful conclusion. W. L. C. NOTES The W.

Perhaps the same story, or something very like it, is told tn either sections of the country; very likely so for Its origin Iles deep in nndeht mythology. The story Is ns follows: An old tramp-woman .came to n house where there were two lit­ tle children and. their parents being away, she put the children into the oven and baked them. When the parents catne home and opened the oven door the children ran out In the j shape of two little bears. Which ac- j counts for the plantigrade feet of ; liears. The myths of Isis and of 1 Demeter are evidently responsible for this superstition. Incidents in the Ilves of each of these goddesses hav­ ing in the course of some thousands of years suffered slight changes and adaptations. Isis In her wanderings Id search ct the in>dy of Osiris, came to the house of n certain king disguised ns “a poor tramp-woman” and was engaged as nurse for the king’s son.

The product of education is knowledge, but the discreet use of knowledge Is wisdom—a gift of the gnds 1 Many a well-educated person fails In life for the reason that he does not know how to use the education he possesses. The more we know the worse fools we are capable of becom­ ing. Education, when not directed Into proper channels,, runs riot with things. Many of the criminals, whose crimes have attracted public attention, possessed college degrees. It Is not how . much one knows that evaluates ability. It Is how one uses what he knows. Little education and much wisdom Is far better as an economic nsset than a college degree and no common sense. Dynamite In the hands of a child Is n dangerous thing. So Is education when not controlled by wisdom. Wisdom is the product of experi­ ence. Knowledge Is acquired from the schoolroom.

I descended the hill to where Gro­ mit and the Indian were awaiting the settlers’ return. Men were hurrying up with axes and muskets, eager to sooth the sting their pride had re­ ceived. I went to them and announced that Dinwold was dying and that the young woman would leave the valley very soon, and that her departure would be hastened could she find some ane to buy her cattle. My words so­ bered them and took the edge from their anger. A man said: “If she will swear on the Holy Book that they are not bewitched. Hl take them off her bands." "We three men will drive them to Braddock’s camp, or will sell them here. We can get more for them on Will's creek. The man Croinit of Mc­ Dowell's mill will make the trade If you care to buy."

I told him the Indian and I would spread our blan­ kets in the path south of the hill and for him to take the money to the cabin, if he made a fair bargain, and then come to us. In less than an hour Cromlt came through the darkness to us and an­ nounced : "She’s got the money and says I made a good bargain. But' the man. her uncle, will never see the stars again in this mortal land. There’s the death-mark on him.” We slept for several hours and it must have been close to midnight when the report of a flintlock brought us to our feet Believing the girl was Id trouble I called on my companions to follow me. Cromlt ran at my side. Behind us came the Onondaga, softly humming: "Ha-hum-weh. Ha bum-web—1 be­ long to the Wolf dan. 1 belong to the Wolf clan." He chanted It over and over as we mounted the hill and only became silent when the girl confronted us, a vague slim figure in the night In a faint voice she said: "He is dead. My good uncle is dead. He died in hie sleep. His kind heart was very weak." She did not weep but kept repeating that he hud died in his sleep. The Onondaga would not enter the cabin, but Cromlt and I wrapped the dead man In a blanket and dug a grave some distance from the cabin, the girl bolding a pine torch so that we mlghi see. When we bad finished and bad retired she threw herself on the grave and wept a little. Then site came to us and said: * “I leave this place this night. Those people down there killed him. 1 leave this place this night." “Then you must go to McDowell’s mill, and from there start for the Eastern settlements. We will go with you as far ax the mill.

In vain did we beat about the woods and call her name. “She is a witch. She rides through the air,” muttered Round Paw as we took the southern path. A shrill cry caused us to halt. The Widow Cox was coming after us, wav­ ing something in her hand. “I found this after you’d called. It had beer, left at my door and the wind must ’a' blown It one side." It was a small piece of dressed deerskin. On one side with a charred ■tick was written: "For bradoks scout if be asks For Elsie Dinwold."

That- the man who succeeds in busi­ ness is no great wonder. He is only the man who went ahead and got the business while the other fellows sat around and said It couldn't be done. That the development and expan­ sion of manufacturing, wholesale and retail business of your city means a growing city. That every assistance to the devel­ opment of your agricultural sections should be given; as agriculture sections develop more business will develop.

Guglielmo Marconi— then contemptuously called the “wire­ less crank,"—sent an intelligible mes­ sage across tbe Bristol Channel in England, demonstrating that the mys­ terious electric impulse, which he arid his preceptor. Professor Rhlgl, had partly trained, wan no mere scientific toy, but could be used for practical communication across bodies of open water spanned by neither bridge not wire. It wm not many months later that sliip-to-shore communication was a t practical success. Radio, most phenomenal of all modern marvels, was in full career. That historic event thirty-one years ago was not. of course, the very first germ of radio. Back in the first dec­ ades of the nineteenth century, more than a hundred years ago, the famous French physicist. Dr. Jean Baptiste Biot, had made what can now be rec­ ognized ns the first recorded radio ex­ periment. His broadcasting station was no electric giant. It was merely a small electric machine like those which once decorated offices of physicians. His receiver wm no intricate assem­ blage of tubes and colls. It was, in­ stead. nothing more mysterious than a pair of frog’s legs. He discovered that the leg of a frog Jumps automatically when energized by an electric current and that when his machine produced electric sparks the legs, suspended at the opposite side of the room, jumped. His writings do not disclose whether he saw in his discovery’ a future means of communication. After Biot came Heinrich. Hertz and Popoff and Sir Oliver Lodge and Rhigl and a score of others. AD before Marconi. But it was the young Italian who made the thing work. SUCCESS Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. The most successful men are not necessarily the ones noisily attracting public at­ tention. The best and most useful women are not the bright buterflles of fashion on the state whose press agents incessantly flaunt their pictures and their petty doings before the public. The unlauded men and women who are quietly attending to their own lit­ tle duties, every day contributing something substantial to general In­ dustry, prosperity and progress, rear­ ing children in habits of useful work and right living and supplying exam­ ples that elevate the moral and intel­ lectual level of their little communities —these are the men and women of real influence and power. Success is theirs in the fullest meas­ ure. ' How shrunken and pitiful a thing, how hollow a delusion is the shining socalled success of self-absorbed men and women. They have only the husks of life’s golden grain. Like that soldier under Galerius who found a shining leather bag filled with pearls and cast away the pearls but carefully preserved the bag, these self­ absorbed ones are spuming true riches, real success, to hug to their hearts things that are empty and worthless.

Many of the borers come to the surface again after being plowed under In order to complete their life cycle. If there are no pieces of com stalks or trash for them to crawl into the borers soon die from exposure or are devoured by birds and other in­ sects. Tests performed by Ontario entomol­ ogists over a period of years have shown that dean plowing Is an effec­ tive means of controlling the com borer. In conducting these tests, an area 40 ft. long and 10 ft. wide has been used, and as many as 5000 borers in stalks and stubble have been turn­ ed under. When the moths were about to emerge, a cage was put over the plot. Not more than four com-borer moths have been recovered in any one season. . Cleanliness and thoroughness in plowing operations are needed to control the borer in this manner, the entomologists state. Plowing must be done so that the stubble lies flat in the furrow rod so that all trash is buried at least two Inches deep. The use of wide-bottom plows is recom­ mended.

Developments and events in aerouau-, tics have occasioned in this country tn recent months more than ordinary in­ terest in the future of air transpor­ tation. The subject is on the tongues of the multitudes and is being linked with some of the nation’s largest in­ dustrial organizations. It is obvious that the public has been convinced that passenger and freight air lines will come before another decade expires. Europe now has her regular air lines while in this country several states have passenger air lines, the Ford in­ terests are operating a fleet of freight planes and the United States govern­ ment has established an extensive air-mail system. But formidable ob­ stacles still stand in the way of regu­ lar passenger service by air in the United States. It is not that the passenger-carrying plane is not m highly developed in the United States as it is in Europe nor is it that capital and initiative Li lacking here. But for atmospheric and geo­ graphical handicaps passenger air service would be already established here. Unlike those sections of Europe over which one may travel by plane, many sections of the United States are made unsafe for air travel by their rugged­ ness. Isolation and unfavorable at­ mospheric conditions. To the aviator these are serious matters. Fogs cancel flying dates for European passenger planes and until man in­ vents a fog-penetrating searchlight the future passenger planes of this country’ will not guarantee their schedules. Railroad transportation is made highly hazardous by fog, and air travel impossible. Po&sesslon is nine parts of the law and 99 per cent of what Interests the lawyer.

One need only consult one’s own ex­ periences and seek in vain to recall a single instance where mother sought credit for the service and love she bore her kin. The home may have looked especially tidy, the meal may have been unusually tasty, the covers might have been tucked with especial care, the sick, room may have been comforted by her almost divine presence, yet not in a single instance did she claim credit for It. Mothers find their satisfaction in something else. It will be an odd son and daughter who permit Sunday to pass without some message, some greeting to the liv­ ing mother or without some lovetinctured remembrance or tribute to the mother dead.

Albert Cabell Ritdue, Governor of Maryland Albert Cabell Ritchie. Governor of Maryland, was born at Richmond, Va. on August 29. 1876. His father was for eleven years on the Supreme Bench of Maryland. He obtained hLs Bachelor of Arts Degree at Johns Hopkins, and also has degrees from University of Maryland, St. John’s, and the University of Washington. He began practice with Steele. Semmes, Carey and Bond. Baltimore, in 1898, and was admitted to the firm In 1900: and in 1903 became a member of the firm of Ritchie and Janney. He was a professor of law at the University of Maryland from 1907 to 1920; and was general counsel of the War Industries Board in 1918. He was assistant city solicitor of Bal­ timore from 1903 to 1910; assistant general counsel of the Public Service Commission of Baltimore from 1910 to 1913; attorney general of Maryland from 1910 to 1920: and became Gover­ nor of Maryland in 1920. Governor Ritchie is simple, modest and unaffected: his addresses are quiet and well-delivered, intended to appeal to reason rather than to the emotions of his listeners. He speaks eloquently for personal liberties and rights. Governor Ritchie has among outstanding achievements revised the State labor and compensa­ tion laws, reformed the system of prison labor, put the conservation work of the state on a business basis, and built good roads.

The hand of glory snperrtltion Is peculiar to Eu­ ropean races and tlie Southern negroes must have imbibed it from their white neighbor*. If it is more prevalent to­ day among the negroes than among the whites the reason may be looked for in the lower general culture among the negroes. But It is not entirely extinct among the whites of the coun­ try who also retain superstition* of an analogous nature evidently derived from the hand of glory superstition, nor 1* it entirely extinct Id Europe tn its original form. A few generations ago this super­ stition was very prevalent A* late as 1853 cases In which the hand of glory figured were before the court* of the British hies and there are many old criminal case* on record in which it played a part Ae not so very long ago the hand of glory was admissible as legal evidence It Is not strange that It should linger today tn modern folk lore. It ta a magic per­ taining . to thieves and midnight marauders. Tlie hand of glory is the hand of a man who hn* been hanged and in for­ mer times It was pickled in a certain prescribed manner. It Is supposed when carried by burglars to cause the Inhabitants of the house about to be burglarized to fall Into a deep sleep. GenekEilly, In old times, a candle made of thik^at of a malefactor who had also been executed, was placet! in the hand os in a candlestick. This In­ creased the potency of the charm and rendered It Impossible for the sleep­ ing persons to move. The idea, as Is shown by Sir James Frazer, 4s one of sympathetic magic.

CHAPTER III On Braddock's Business We commenced our Journey to Will’s creek, with the Onondaga leading the way and bls watchful suspicious gaze swinging from aide to ride of the nar­ row path as alertly as if we bad been In the Huron country. After traveling a abort distance the Onondaga baited and dropped on bls knees. He had found eight bark spoons. Holding them up he said: . “So many Indians stopped here to eat this morning. They are our nephews, the Lenl-l.enape. They are some of the men Croghan bus been bunting for. They have traveled east to see the Big Knives on the path. Now they go to Will’s creek to be there when the Big Chief comes with bis warriors." M his reasoning were correct, the Delawares had Journeyed east until they beheld Braddock's army on the march; and by the same token our campaign against the French would soon take us to Duquesne. 1 was keen to press on. We made Will’s creek early on the ninth of May and were surprised to find none of the army there except Rutherford's and Clark's Independent companies on foot, ordered to the creek from New York In the preced­ ing summer; and Demnrle's Inde­ pendent company from Maryland. The three companies had wintered on the creek In huts and were mighty weary of the mcnotony of It ail. We were quickly surrounded by an eager mob and plied with questions as to Braddock's whereabouts, when be would arrive, and how large an army he would bring. Had the French al­ ready abandoned Duquesne, as had been reported by some of the Dela­ ware scouts? And If so. why the devil were bis majesty’s independent companies being held In Idleness at the creek and made to miss all the fun? Mr. Croghan came into camp a few hours after our arrival, and I deliv­ ered Governor Morris' letter. After reading It, he told me: "The belts were sent on the twentysecond of last month. I fear we'll get scant help from the lake tribes. Many of the Indians are waiting to see who’s to win. They’ll flock in to Join the winner. It's lucky we have the French whipped already, for the slow work of getting tlie army here had made me uneasy. "If a thousand men, or even less, could now march swiftly to Duquesne, the place would be ours without any fighting. The Indians have taken bold of the French ax, but they’ll drop It If the French quit Duquesne. The assembly hurt us wben it refused to feed my three hundred Iroquois. Af­ ter keeping them all winter, they should have held on for a few weeks longer. Now the three hundred are back with the French. I have forty fighting men here, and sixty women and children. They’ve taken up the hatchet against the French. But, if they ain’t handled right, they’ll ac­ cept a bloody belt from Duquesne. “General Braddock hasn’t any no­ tion of handling red men. Dinwiddle or Morris should have looked after that part of the business. But well lick the French easy enough. They're licked already. Worst is well have to smooth some of the Indians down af­ ter the French are back in Canada." I believed the French were whipped, for had I not recently visited Duques­ ne and obtained full knowledge of the fort’s weakness and the red man's uneasiness? And yet there was some­ thing in Croghan's talk, or way of speaking, that left me depressed. Wben be declared the French were whipped. It almost seemed as If he were dwelling upon it just to keep his courage up. But tlie morrow brought the van­ guard of the Forty-fourth, and the entire regiment was In camp by mid­ day. Then came General Braddock and his escort of light-boroe, and the drums began the “Grenadiers’ March,’’ and the scene was gay and very col­ orful. .1 forgot my gloomy mood and buzzahed with the best of them. Two hours later. Colonel Dunbar and tlie Forty-eighth marched Id, and thero was more cheering and high spirits. Now it did seem ns if we soon could be about the business of driving the French behind the Great lakea The artillery, however did not come up— and would not for another ten days— but what odds? Braddock was with us with his two Invincible regiments. Even though their uniforms made them conspicuous targets, the French were too weak to oppose them. All that remained was to march swiftly to Duquesne and fly our royal banner tn place of the Lilies. Then we would shift our strength to the north and capture Niagara and Crown Point, and teach the New Eng­ landers how to tight. Uidy a hun­ dred and fifty miles remained to be covered before France’s grip on the Ohio would be forever removed. Ah, but now we were in fine spirits those first few day? after Braddock reached the creek. His very austerity was a guarantee of complete success. The colonies were confident the fall ot the enemy was but a matter of days. Braddock had arranged to rend back the- latest news by means of mounted expresses. And every Thurs­ day a western-bound mail-rider was to start from Philadelphia to over­ take the army. I could vision the arrival of our express and the enthubiasig our bulletins _ would- arouse when read aloud at every hostel. And much good news was brought by Braddock and his staff. A- large delegation of Catawbas and Chero­ kees were to meet men from the Long House at Winchester and provide us with an overwhelming red force. The Catawbas alone were to send us a hundred and fifty warrior* As a re­ sult of the Winchester council our camp would be overrun with red al­ lies. But no Indians came to join us. Croghan’s belts to the lake tribes brought us neither Shawnee, Twlghtwee, Wandot or Piankashaw. But. while a trifle disappointed, it really did not matter. If they would not fight with us then surely they would not fight against us. They were sim­ ply waiting until .ft was definitely de­ cided who was to be the winner. If they refused to participate in active warfare, then so much the less would our efforts be to smooth them down. The French were whipped. We needed n<> Indians to aid us. To the inspiring tune of the “Grenadiers' March" white men would oust white men from Du­ quesne. and the heads of the Ohio would forever be sealed against the French. Cromlt bad intended to enlist as a soldier, but had changed his mind after witching the provincials ar their drill, and became a wagoner. Round Paw and I wandered about the camp unattached, enjoying the lively scenes. A few wagons, drawn by four horses each, began to come In. Our ardor might have been dampened if not for the promise made by Mr. Franklin. We looked to him for the necessary supply of horses, wagon and pack, and stout vehicles. The ten days' delay in the arrival of the artillery was one cloud in our sky, for If It moved so slowly in mak­ ing the creek what would be Its rate of progress once it attempted the raw­ wilderness road now being construct­ ed? To expedite tlie road we must lay down. St Clair and Major Chap­ man, of the Forty-fourth, marched with six hundred men to smooth the way to the Little meadows on the Youghlogeny, some thirty miles dls- Every woman appreciates the High Quality and estremely Low Prices at AWP stores.

The coming of the army brought many woodsmen flocking to the creek, and I began to meet old acquaintances who bad never heard me called any­ thing except “Black’’ Brond. After a day or so they would slip away while others would take their place to ob­ serve silently and form opinions. 1 frequently saw General Braddock walking about the camp with his of­ ficers, and was shocked to observe he looked worried and discouraged. There was much muttering and complaining among the provincials. The com­ mander, being a rigid drill master, insisted that the provincials be worked dally and made to go through the manual with fine precision. Th* provincials were slow and slovenly at maneuvers and aroused the general’s disgust and contempt This soon be­ came generally known and was hotly resented.

A score of soldiers, released from drill, were bearing down od me In a very buslnereilke manner. Mj acquaintance, the sergeant, was lead Ing them. They grouped around me and the sergeant said: “We believe you're a spy from the French." "Then report It to your superior*. But the mon who calls me spy Is a liar." I dropped my long rifle In the bullow of my left arm and swung It about and enlarged the circle, and warned: “It’ll be easy for you men to murder me, but 111 take at least one of you with me.

Tbe sergeant humbly explained: "We believe, sir, he Is a French spy. We came to take him before our cap­ tain." He dismounted and took a sharp look at my dark face, and after a mo­ ment cried: “Hal Mr. Brood, of Alexandria. Webster Brond, whom I haven’t seen these three years. What’s this about yon being a spy?” “It’s their Imagination. Cutosat I reported to the council In Alexandria, after playing spy for the English at Duquesne.

Turning to the soldiers be .raid: 'This man Is a loyal subject of his' majesty and he has done the king and the colonies excellent service. Be more cautious another time." They were glad to withdraw.

CAMPS WILL SOON BE FILLED. ’It won't be long now" before the Citizen’s Military Training Campe in the Sixth Corps area "goes over the top.” Eighty-six percent of the Sixth Corps Area quota- have already been enrolled. It is nine weeks before the first camp opens at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, on July the 9th with a quota from Illinois of elgthy-hundred and sev­ enty-five in all courses; namely, Basic, Red, White and Blue Infantry and it’s nearly twelve weeks before the remain­ ing four camps open with a grand to­ tal enrollment of 3075. "Chicago’s own” to be held at Fort Sheridan from July 27 to August 25 will be the largest camp with a total of one-thousand eight hundred and fifty. Enrollment for this camp is for men residing within 150 miles. Fort Sheridan and Its many advan­ tages needs no introduction. The present Corps Area Commander, Gen­ eral Paul B. 'Malone, will exercise personal command at “Chicago’s own." Camps in Michigan are as follows: Camp Custer, Michigan. 750; Fort Brady, Michigan, 250; Camp McCoy, Wisconsin 225 and 350 applicants from the Sixth Corps Area, from the North­ western part of Wisconsin will go to Fort Snelling, Minnesota in the Sev­ enth Corps Area. The National Rifle Matches will be held this year at Camp Perry, Ohio. A Sixth Corps Area team composed of the best rifle shots of the C. M. T. camps will .be selected, given special instruction in rifle shooting and will compete at these matches in Septem­ ber. Every effort will be made to produce a ’’winning team." This will involve no expense for those selected as members of the team. ■ At the rate applications are now coming in the quota will be filled In the near future and thereafter only a limited number of applications will be enrolled as alternates. Enrollment this year has exceeded all previous records to date. • The experimental stage for C. M. T. Camps has passed, as evidenced by many communications accompanying applications. A vice president of a large business concern wrote in part as follows: “I wish to have a word regarding application of xxx for the course at the Training Camp at .Fort Sheridan this summer. He has been with this company for five years and has our entire confidence. A year ago xx. who is also with us. took this course, and he is now making application for his second year. It means that when we spare these two boys, which we are glad to do. we will have to hire some­ body in their places while they are away: but we are so anxious to follow the good work of the training camps, and so greatly desire to have these two boys of ours have the benefit of It. that it Is a pleasure for us to do this.*’ The above testimonial together with many others received daily, is conclu­ sive proof that the value of the C. M. T. Camps is now thoroughly recognlzed by the public. Athletics will be stressed in all camps this year. Sufficient funds are available for this purpose. Systematic athletic coaching will include train­ ing in track and field events for a field day with the presentation of suitable prizes. A baseball league will be organized for each camp: with one or more teams from the personnel ot each course — Br^ic, Red. White and Blue. A series of games will be played to determine the championship. There will be baseball and athletics every day.

A prize list of $30250. for rac­ ing and blooded horses, will attract some of tlie most noted horsemen and racing stables in the country. Draft and standard-bred horses are included tn this total. In order to do justice to the variety of exhibits at the fair, a visitor should devote at least one. whole day and two nights to seeing the fair. One entire afternoon alone would be necessary, before and after the vaude­ ville program and harness races In front of the grandstand to properly in­ spect the live stock, horticultural, floricultural. dairy and commercial dis­ plays. One evening could be devoted profitably to attendance at the horse­ show in the Colliseum, where not only Detroit society will display the clever­ ness and beauty of their Imported sad­ dle mounts, but where other states will send their best horses.

The Canadian Government Conser­ vation Department will have ar Im­ pressive exhibit and. the U. 8.

PAINT! TELLING TALKS OUT OF SCHOOL. (continued from first page.) soft tinkle-tinkle kmd—like gentle zephyrs blowing through an ocu>ve of holes in a Swiss cheese. Germany got envious of Switzerland right away for soon mouth-organs from the Father­ land were on sale. Then Jerusalem got busy, and the town was flooded with Jews-harps. We had a school professor who was a wliiz on one of these harps. His playing sounded quite a bit like the underbreath whlstling of Uncle Bob Brady when engag­ ed in a close game of checkers with Al Rascy. For an instrument that was .real jazzy, give me the old dulcimers that were dragged out at the Fourth of July "bowery dances." These old "dulcles” seemed to be full of the spir­ it of *76. and sounded as though they had never been tuned since that his­ torical date. Sometimes the players were full of a spirit of a later vintage. Parlor organs. with their ginger­ bread ornaments, predominated In tlie homes; while melodeons furnished harmony and cheer at a few firesides. The town might have boasted of a dozen square pianos, and they were grand and upright at that—not bought on the installment plan. The little monk-on-a-string. that took up the collections for the Italian organ grinder every spring, was the forerunner of the installment man, who lias been making monkeys out of us ever since. The musical circles of Nashville in the early eighties could square up fairly well with those of the present day. The girls who could play an or­ gan were too numerous to mention; the boys were not so many. I am certain Curtis Pennock could have played a parlor organ to perfection even if the instrument had been shoved out into the kitchen Pianoforte players were not so conspicuous. In my judgment. Belle Truman was our star player. Vividly do I recall the occasion when that celebrated colored pianist. Blind Boone, made his debut in. Nashville. Personally, I don't care for classical stuff, but I greatly admire the perse­ verance Study, hard work and perspi­ ration that makes the genius—that’s why I go and hear them. Well, everything was all excitement and bustle (mostly bustler on the night of this concert. We boasted of no ••400"—folk never . vaunted of blue blood because It could be traced right back to red flannel underwear—the same as can be done now. Many of the men wore a flowing mustache; the women had their back hair fashioned* into a “waterfall". This might Jfcad you to think the audience was all "wet” form a "haut ton" viewpoint. Evening gowns were mostly black silk; a few bare arms and shoulders, but not a leg in sight except those on the stage piano. I can't recall who loaned this Instrument, but it surely groaned and walled that evening. At one time I thought Dr. Goucher was going upon the stage and relieve the piano ot its misery He could never bear to see anything suffer. He came along one day when I was trying to cut a chick­ en's head off. and taking the axe out of my hand, did the Job himself. I never knew whether he sent in a bill for the operation or not. Blind Boone always played every­ thing by ear. but his ten ebny digits never loafed on the job. After he had finished his program, he Invited any­ one to come upon the stage and play a selection which he would try to du­ plicate. There was a loud clapping of gloved hands when Belle Truman arose from her seat, walked down the aisle, up onto the dtage and seated herself at the piano. She was going to fool him by playing one of her own compositions— something he had never heard before. But say! this dusky son of Ham just burned up the diatonic and chromatic scales of Belle's rendi­ tion. He waded through the quavers and semi-quavers, the major and minor modes. The tonics and supertonics flew from his fingers like sparks from Humphrey Atchlnson’s anvil. When Blind Boone crossed his hands where Belle had crossed hers, there was a smile on his countenance that lit up the whole opera house. At the conclu­ sion. this colored artist congratulated tlie young lady on her playing, saying she was about as clever as any he had met in his tour of the country. C. W. Francis.

C = School History Compiled by Mr*. FERN CROSS IS DEBT A DISGRACE? A "charge account” is NOT a spec­ ial dispensation to pay when you please. It is a courtesy the merchant has extended to you with the under­ standing your obligations are to be met promptly. If you find yourself- encum­ bered to your limit, or beyond your lim­ it to pay, don’t get discouraged. It tak­ es grit and determination to success­ fully meet many of the problems of life. Do not leave the merchant you al­ ready ore and seek credit from anoth­ er. By doing so, you only “make a bad matter worse.” Tighten up the purse strings a little on the nonessentlals ahd pay off the debt If you re­ ceive a statement of a past due ac­ count from a merchant who has ex­ tended you credit, asking you to “please remit", don’t get sore. Place yourself in his position and see if he has not been more lenient with you than you would have been with a person owing you the same amount for so long a time past due. Many a per­ son has become bankrupt, or got him­ self classed as a “deadbeat" because he has contracted debts beyond which his Income would meet. It's no disgrace to be in debt. In fact. Indebtedness that you meet promptly, or according to terms agreed upon, indicate thrift. However. If you permit yourself to become encumber­ ed by debts beyond your ability to pay, you are sure to be disgraced by them. Your Income is the basis upon which you must place the paying ability of your obligations. Don't contract a debt without, first, taking into consid­ eration how you are going to pay for it Your intentions may be good, but creditors can't pay their bills with YOUR good intentions—it takes the cash. • In this day of easy credit, if you find you have "over bought” don't try to "side step” the situation.* If your ac­ counts are more than you can pay at once, see each of your creditors now and make definite arrangements for the payment of all these bills. This need not cause you any embarrassment or inconvenience. Your creditors will meet you more than half way. If you have been trying to "dodge” this situation for a time, screw up courage a little and talk the proposition over with your creditors. The members of this credit exchange have a plan to offer you. If you care to avail yourself of it, that will enable you to take care of your obligations without any publi­ city or embarrassment. Just a little determination and pluck on your port will turn the trick. Publicity Committee. Nashville-Vermontville Credit Ex. BUSINESS NEWS —Lawn hose—rakes and sprayers.

Lansing, received a long-distance call from Houghton Lake. Many dead and dying ducks were reported to'be drifting ashore. There had been no shooting on or near the lake. “Send In about a dozen good speci­ mens right away". Director Hogarth instructed his local conservation of­ ficer. ’ and keep , fresh consignments coming every few days as long as the trouble lasts.’’ Then the Director pushed the buz­ zer for his newly established Game Di­ vision and told it to get ready to find out what was happening to the ducks. The ducks arrived in Lansing late on Saturday, and early Sunday morning were run across country to Ann Ar­ bor. At the laboratories of the Uni­ versity Museum of Zoology, Dr. J. Van Tyne was waiting, and began opening them, looking for symptoms of para­ sites and diseases. The livers were found to be much shrunken and the heavy breast muscles were greatly re­ duced. but there was no evidence of in­ flammations or numerous parasites. The stomachs seemed to have plen­ ty of fresh food in them—mostly pieces of green water-weeds, as usual. Lack of food, therefore, could not account for the condition of the birds. "What’s this?" said the specialist, as he began to spread out the contents of a freshly opened gizzard. From among the matted leaf fragments he began to isolate small hard pellets, half a dozen, a dozen, two. three, four dozen—as many as sixty per bird. Shot—lead shot, evidently taken in while feeding. Dr. VanTyne’s report to the Depart­ ment says: "These ducks had all been killed by lead poisoning. I found shot in the gizzards and the symptoms check perfectly with those recorded for lead poisoning. As few as six pellets of No. 6 are known to have been fatal, and mast of these birds had over fifty shot in them. Nothing of this sort, so far as I know, has ever been reported from Michigan, or in connection with the Scaup." The question, now. is what can and should be done? Did these ducks pick up the shot in Houghton Lake, or far­ ther south and before they reached northern Michigan? If they got it out of Houghton Lake, what is to prevent more such trouble, and worse trouble from year to year as the lead accum­ ulates about the favorite shooting grounds? And if it happens in this ouck ground, in how many more Is it going on? All that, says the Depart­ ment's Game Division, is something yet to be worked out. but in June a new staff man will report for duty: he will be a specialist in birds, and his first job will bfc to investigate waterfowl af­ fairs.

Cromit eyed him with kindling in­ terest and said: “You look mighty husky, mister. Do yon ever tussle?" The ewarty killer turned a gioomy glance upon my friend, then said to , me: “Your Injun's safe when with you, or In Braddock's camp. We knew Croghan find some Iroquois there.

And there In the middle of the opening stood the trad­ ing post Only Instead of the ebrill wind of that winter's night, and the howling of the starved wolf-pack there were now ululating war-cries and the explosion of guns being fired Into the log walls. We kept under cover and counted the puffs of smoke and estimated the attacking force to number fifteen or twenty. The cabin stood in the center of the clearing and was completely en- ± jjre Of musketry crackled around the clearing, two guns being dis­ charged from the woods at the foot of the slope and directly in advance of our position. The Onondaga told ns to remain quiet while he scouted near­ er the besiegers. After thirty minutes Round Paw returned and tersely re­ ported: “French Indians and two French­ men have cornered a Swannock." A repeated this In English, and Gro­ mit promptly declared: “Then we must bust through and help the feller out." I talked with the Onondaga, and he said that with three men in the cabin and with him outside to range back and forth behind the attacking force the Hurons would soon lose heart and retreat. Once the Frenchmen lost con­ tro trol] o off them our task o off capturing one man auVe would be greatly simplified. His Judgment had great weight with me; and there was no denying the con­ fusion he would throw the enemy into once he stalked the savages from the rear. I agreed to make the cabin with Cromit if it could be done with any measure of safety. The Onondaga took it on himself to provide us wit|i a dear path to the cabin door.

They have made their home In Grand Rapids for the past eight years, where Mr. Voelker acted as presiding elder of the Kalamazoo district. He has accepted the pastorate of the Mack avenue church at Detroit. Mich., and assumed his duties there May 20th. of this year. We know they have a fam­ ily, and are •sorry we are not able tc tell you about them. Our letters, they intended to answer, have been laid aside. Their lives are busy ones.

I used to beg my supply from Al Durkee. And by the way. Al was the original drummer boy in the old Jfashvllle Silver Comet band. Frank-Purchis, at one time, had a photograph of this well-known or­ ganization hanging on the wall in his establishment. Now these insurance people had an­ other style of publicity—they tacked a tin sign over your front door telling the world that your home was insured m their company. Folks today wouldn't stand for being "signed up" in this manner, and yet they will enclose a spare tire In an advertising jacket and proceed to bum up the public thoroughfares. Speaking of fires metaphorically, when a fellow receives his high school diploma he feels like going right out and setting the world a-flre. True, some of the “grads” made a good stab at it, while others come back home after more matches. The most inebriated fire I ever wit­ nessed was the one that played around Barney Brooks' fruit evaporator plant. The flames got polluted on the hard elder that was squirted on them from the large vats. You never saw such staggering blazes; even the smoke be­ came pickled. Town Marshal Simeon Overholt got so excited over it that not a few people thought he was going to arrest the fire—for being drunk and disorderly. But say! that “Maud S.” fire appara­ tus, In its newness, was the pride of most everybody in town; and how it was groomed. To keep it from freez­ ing up in the winter months, the vill­ age dads voted an appropriation for alcohol with which to flood its Interior anatomy. It was surmised that some tramps crawled under the engine house door and robbed Maud S. of the anti­ freeze fluid, for when the apparatus was hauled out in response to an alarm of fire one Winter forenoon, the work­ able machinery was frozen tighter than an Edinburgh Scotchman. To see the women bearing steaming tea­ kettles was a sad sight to a few sore­ heads who predicted the “dingus” would never work again. Every town has the sore-heads fellows who are continually getting jammed between their own Ideas and public sentiment. Every able-bodied man was a fire­ fighter, and there were about as many bosses as fighters. A conflagration al­ ways appeared more spectacular at night to me than one occuring in the daytime. The fire in the old frame Methodist church was a daytime event. A few people said the wrath of the Almighty was visited upon this church because the church board had allowed a political mass meeting to be held in it. Even as a youngster. I didn’t be­ lieve it. For If this were true, why didn’t the Lord cause the building to be burned to the ground instead of smoking it up a little—in His omniscency He was aware that the building -would later be used as a town hall where all kinds of meetings would be (Continued on last page.) C. OF C. MEETING The members of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce held their reg­ ular monthly meeting at the Masonic Temple Monday evening and enjoyed a fine supper served by the ladies of the Eastern Star. Following the feed the gathering was called to .order by President Glasgow and the usual business session ensued. Reports of committees showed the various activities being carried on in a very acceptable manner. Village and tourist camp signs will all be in place within a short time, and Mayor Wenger announced the receipt of a number of ’’stop street” and “school zone” markers from the A. A. A., which will be used on the village streets. The gathering took a vote in regard to closing on Decoration Day, and the merchants agreed to shut up shop at 10:30 a. m. for the balance of the day. It was also voted to purchase flowers and plants to be used in beautifying the village park across the street from the M. C. depot. After some discussion a committee was appointed, consisting of - the fire chief, tlie village health officer. C. T. Munro and C. L. Glasgow, to inspect the alleys in the business district and seek the co-operation of the property owners in making their premises spick and span. The committee went right to work Tuesday morning, and report a willing response to their reminders. For the June meeting, F. K. Nelson and E. L. Appelman were appointed as supper committee. W. C. T.

C. T. U. There were about 100 essays written and 50 posters made, all showing much Interest in their work, and they seemed to enjoy it Our delegate. Mrs. Olmstead, gave a brief outline of the 50th Anniversary of the W’. C. T. U. County Convention, held at Hastings. The principal speak­ ers were Rev. Etta Sadler Shaw, and Rev. Zose. Mrs. Frances Burgess gave an Interesting talk on "Building. For The Future." representing the P. T. A. In part she said that Jerry built buildings meant unstable. Insecure foundations, not the best material put in Jerry built buildings. Let us be careful and not have any Jerry built boys and girls—that Jerry built boys and girls were sent to Lansing and Adrian. Give your boys and girls a good foundation of faith and morals In the home. Begin there. Several solos, readings, and a men’s qsartet were pleasant features, and all enjoyed by those present. The Nashville W. C. T. U. is the largest in Barry county and the only union that has semi­ monthly meetings. The 1929 conven­ tion will be held at Cloverdale. Paul­ ine Douse favored the company with two piano solos. The Misses Pauline and Agnes Douse rendered two pleas­ ing violin and piano duets. Mrs. Cora Cole read an article “The Honest Dea­ con.’’ Miss Effie Dean gave a reading. "Croes-questlonlng Jones," which was greatly enjoyed. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Lilah Surine. June 14.

Sunday afternoon’s game with Pine Lake ball team resulted in a victory for the visitors by a score of 7 to 3. It was a good contest, featured by some exceptional fielding and a number of fast double plays. Nashville got to Thompson, the Pine Lake twirler, for five safe swats in the second and third Innings, which pro­ duced three tallies and gave them a lead which they held until the clos­ ing .frames. The pitching Improved, however, as the game progressed. and the locals were held scoreless for the balance of the game. Pennington started in the box for Nashville and allowed but two hits In the first seven innings, which Pine Lake bunched in the fourth for one tally. “Shorty" weakened in the eight, and the resort­ ers pounded out three singles and a double and took advantage of one mis­ play to chase four runs across the plate. Bill Martin then took up the job, though nursing a sore arm from the opening game, and Pine Lake con­ tinued their batting spree In the ninth, scoring two extra tallies on a STATE COLLEGE SETS couple of singles and a double.

Seven years of experimental work on the testing of all alfalfa varieties for hardiness under weather conditions in this State will be graphically shown by the experimental plots. These plots stand as silent records of the value of some varieties and the comparative worthlessness of others. Members of the farm crops depart­ ment of Michigan State will explain the work that is being done with the crop at the College, and farmers who have had notable success with the le­ gume will tell their experience. A haymaking demonstration will be given, and the method of telling wheth­ er it will be profitable to hold a crop of alfalfa for seed will be shown. All members of farmer’s families are Invited to attend the meeting. The College campus will be at its best, and a basket luncheon has been planned. “Alfalfa Day" starts at nine In the morning and continues until five o’clock. LIVESTOCK MEN MEET AT COLLEGE JUNE 15.

Visitors win meet at 10:00 a. m. in the dairy barn to inspect dairy, cattle that are being used to test the amounts and kinds of minerals needed in the ration of growing and mature animals. The remainder of the forenoon win be devoted to a discussion of the feed­ ing trials that have been made with hogs and beef cattle, and the superin­ tendent of the College farm will give some pointers on the economic care and feeding of the work horse.

SLAVES OF CUSTOM The late Vice President Marshall declared that what this country needed was a good five-cent cigar. But what it needs worse during June, July, Au­ gust and September is a comfortable hot-weather costume for men, not only in offices and workrooms but on the streets, in clubs, and social gatherings. That fine old English man. Stanley Baldwin, made of himself a hero last year when he defied social conventions, challenged the unwritten laws of socalled good breeding, and laughed to scorn the edicts of propriety under which all have groaned and sweated for generations during the dog days. He did all that by simply taking off his coat and hanging it on the back of his chair at a luncheon in an aristocratic club. Summer is hard on poor custom-andconventlon-bound masculinity but its lot in this respect has improved great­ ly in recent years. Man has at last taken to lightweight suits and has dis­ carded the conventional vest The younger generation has gone so far as to throw away hats and roll hose down to the tops of low-cut shoes. Now that equality between the sexes is more dr less a fact, why should it be proper for woman to appear In public In three or four pieces of sheerest silk and improper for man to appear at dinner or in the drawing room or office in his shirt sleeves? When mas,.uUn­ ity acquires the courage to wear straw hats by the temperature rather than by the custom calendar, it may dare to blue-pencil the page in the etiquette book prohibiting removal of the coat in public. civil actions are concerned. The driv­ er Involved in an accident, no matter how much insurance he carries, is an­ swerable to the police. No one should drive unless he or his employer is able to pay for damage he may cause, and insurance is the cheap­ est way to purchase such protection. But there are thousands of automobile owners and drivers who are financially irresponsible, and among them are reckless drivers. These latter Inspire the agitation for compulsory automo­ bile insurance. SUBSCRIPTION RATES In Lower Peninsula of Michigan $2.00 per year; elsewhere in the United States. $2.50 per year. In Canada $3.00 per year. A cash discount of 50 cents is given from these rates for strictly cash-inadvance payment. On 6 months sub­ scription, a cash discount of 15 cents. Cash-ln-advance payment is con­ strued to mean that subscriptions must be paid prior to or during the month ,in which subscription expires. If not NO PANACEA FOR RECKLESSNESS *so paid, no discount will be allowed. Both sides have been heard on the question of compulsory automobile liability insurance.

The forces of progress and of humanity in the State are seeking to check the prevailing waste of life and resources due to traffic accidents on streets and highways. There is great need of more uniform public understanding and official administration of the traffic laws. Inter-city motor vehicle transportation tends to increase haz­ ards In any locality unless all localities experience generally similar and equal­ ly regular safety education and statu­ tory administration. To help effect this, a state-wide traffic safety move­ ment will be conducted during the months of May and June of this year. I sincerely believe that the people in an Michigan win give it their earnest and active support. The question of safety in the public thoroughfares of the State is not de­ batable. Assurance of reasonable se­ curity-to aU is a public and private obligation. The State can do no less than give of its strength to such an en­ terprise. It is our duty to re-assert the supreme character of the law. Government is not the responsibil­ ity of the few. but of the many—and in Issuing this I am endeavoring to caU into action, for public safety, the man-power and womanpower of the entire commonwealth.

Last summer when I was over in Europe on my vacation. in the wild desert where the green grass grows all around. I was overtaken by night. I was forced to make my bed of boughs off the prickly pear and use a stone for a pillow. The next morning I had to go clear over to the Nile river to get a drink. While I was there I thought I might as well wash my hands so I used the Nile Basin. I had to go to Mount Vesuvius to dry my hands. For my breakfast I had to reach Ire­ land for Irish potatoes and then travel to Greece to fry them. I always have thought it well to eat fruit and as I had no money I tramped over to the Orange Free State to get some free or­ anges. Well, reckoned it was about time for me to return to Nashville again but while passing through the traffic jams of the Sahara desert, my horn gave out so I purchased one in Hongkong.

It is easily seen how these badges may fall into Improper hands. They may then be used illeg­ ally. even for the purpose of extorting money from a sportsman. . There has been evidence that this has occurred In the past. The Department is ask­ ing sportsmen to report the name of any person who tries to assert his au­ thority while wearing one of the outof-date badges. The principal dis­ tinguishing mark between the old and the new Is the figures “1928" stamped on the recent issue. Compiling Average Weights Religion of Old Egypt Average weights of men and women are usually complied from Insurance figures, and are merely what the ad­ jective implies. Ideal weights differ somewhat An authority on dietetics •aye that average and Ideal weights are nearest together when Individuals are between twenty and twenty-flva years of age. As the years progress the average weight Is higher than the ideal weight The ancient religious belief of the Egyptians was both monotheistic and polytheistic. There was one supreme god, Ba, represented by the sun, who had for his wife Moat, the mother of all nature. Osiris, who was the chief national Egyptian deity, was supposed to-be the son of Seb, the earth, and Nut, the sky. There were many other lesser gods, hut Ra was supreme.

SOPHOMORES WIN CLASS GAME The Sophomores challenged the Freshmen to a game of base ball last Friday night after school and made good their challenge by defeating the Freshmen by a score of 6 to 4. Fifteen trucks, one in each division mapped out by the State Fire War­ den’s office, will help prevent and con­ trol fires in Michigan's forests during the summer season. The -trucks will be utilized for the carrying of equip­ ment to the scene of the blazes. Each carries a pump and 1,000 feet of hose besides the water that is used in the nand extinguishers. The conveyances are looked upon as a very important asset to the fire fighters. Three new fire towers have been placed in service this spring. All are located in the Upper Peninsula, one near Watersmeet, a second north of Marquette near the famous Hairpin Curve and the third Is north and west of Rapid River. All are the inclosed tvpe, the latest in efficient fire pre­ vention service. Visitors are welcome at the towers. The Department is pleased to have tourists pay a visit although it stipu­ lates that those who choose to climb the towers do so at their own risk. A register is provided in each tower so that an accurate check of the number of visitors may be had at the end, of the season. The new tower, with an enclosed lad­ der. removes some of the hazards of climbing. Landings are provided at frequent intervals, thus affording a nlace for the climber to rest. The en­ closed stairway also forbids the climb­ er the hazardous pastime of looking at the distance he may be from the ground.

KALAMO DEPARTMENT. Mabel Pittinger, 15 year old daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Pittinger, tried’ to end lier life by dissolving two tablets of bichloride of mercury in a glass of water and drinking the poison solution. She is the younger of two sisters, who attend the Bellevue high school, she being a Sophomore and Miss Marie a member of this year’s graduating class. Taking the poison before leaving home Thursday morn­ ing. she rode 7 miles to town. Miss Eleanor Bishop, a school friend, called to her and she went into their grocery store, and while there her actions be­ trayed that something was wrong, leading her friend to question her. At first she was reluctant to tell but fin­ ally related to Miss Bishop what she had done, giving as her only reason these words, "I’ll never amount to much.” Her mother was In town at the time, and upon being notified, took the girl immediately to Dr. Rolland A. Welsh, who applied the stomach pump and worked over her for some time in order to remove, as much of the poison as possible. She was then taken to Nichols hospital. Battle Creek, and placed under the care of Dr. A. F. Kingsley. As bichloride of mercury is a slow acting poison the outcome was uncertain for several days, but she was brought home Saturday morning and her recovery is practically assured.

My man began putting up a desperate resistance and ,1 shut all thoughts out of my beat! except the task of finishing him. So shrewdly did he fight 1 no longer thought of making him prisoner. He was a good twenty pounds lighter than I, but he fought like a devil. Before I could outguess him. he was up to one of his tricks. Suddenly ceaslng hie resistance he flopped on his back and carried me wltn niui but managed to escape the grip of my legs and draw up his knees. Then with a violent thrust of his arms and a surge of his legs he sent me flying over his head. "Put a spell on him! Witch him!" screamed Cromit's voice. I leaped erect and whirled and set myself to meet the next onset. The force of my fall blurred my vision for a moment, and the Frenchman might have had me had he not paused to Jerk a pistol from his belt. He risked all on u bullet, and tire weapon missed tire. I ducked the flylug pistol and leaped upon him. Incited to greater effort by the stinging bump on the top of my head. We crashed together and hugged and tugged like two bears .

I wildly cried, brushing tire sweat from my eyes and quite forgetting the Frenchman as I stared at her empty blanket and to the open door. Cromlt staggered to the door and at once emitted a terrible howl and grappled with another Indian who sud­ denly filled the doorway. I beard the dull thud of an ax and my friend went down on his knees. “The bone-breaking man Is mad from fighting," said Round Paw, the Onondaga. Cromlt, only slightly stunned by the flat of the ax, slowly gained his feet and stared stupidly at the Indian and rubbed his head ruefully. The Indian sighted my Frenchman and with a whoop would have jum[>ed upon him had 1 not pushed him back. "He Is my prisoner. He goes to Braddock alive!" He turned away and beheld the sav­ age on the floor. With a yelp of amazement he bent over him and In­ vestigated the nature of the mortal wounds. Straightening he lifted bis ax in salute to Cromlt, then drove It I Into a log and cried: ■ “Yo-hah! This is a very brave man who walks through the land with us They say he has killed a man with his hands. They say his name will be known to many nations, that be shall be called ’Royaner!’” “We waste time. There Is work for the man of the Wolf. Find me the white girl whom we found In this cabin.

My orenda telle me not to travel the same path," the Onondaga Insisted. "Then I must go, and my eyes are not sharp like tbe Wolf man's, nor are my legs strong. And let it be remem­ bered when you would pass me a pipe through the camp smoke." With a grunt he ran from the cabin. Cromlt and I endeavored to learn something from the Frenchman. “Monsieur, 1 am a victim of war But it is all for France," he told me. “H«w many were with you?" I asked. He smiled through bls bloody lips and mocked: "There was another Frenchman with me, who Is worth a hundred red men. He will be here soon with some of his children.” I pointed to the dead warrior on the floor and asked: "Shall 1 tell my friend to make yon talk?" He gave a look and was unable to restrain a shudder. Then with a shrug of his shoulders he said: "A Beauvias can die even like that. I compliment monsieur on bls French." Cromlt edged nearer, working his gory fingers. 1 waved him back and spoke In French for my captive's ben­ efit. saying: “We will leave It for Braddock to make,.-him talk. He has many Iro­ quois with hla army, and they have curious ways with wayward tongues." "It will be interesting, monsieur— for your Iroquois. Let us go to the* and learn if they can persuade me." Confound the fellow! One cannot hold a mean grudge against a brave man. “We will start very soon. Cromlt, reload the rifles." The Frenchman glanced about the room and muttered: "There was another here, a youth. My children trailed him here after be killed one of our Hurons. He made a very pretty fight, but we should have dug him out If you men had not come." . • A.iOmlt called from the door: "Here comes Round Paw. Coming alone. And he ain’t in any burry." Round Puw glided into the cabin and confirmed what my prisoner had said about his red allies being 'in a panic. The girl's traU led to the east. He had followed it but a short dis­ tance. Beauvais glared at the Onon­ daga's girdle and muttered: "So that is why they do not stop their foolish running! What a pity! Poor Dupuy!" In answer to my queetionlng look he sadly explained. “The brown hair hanging over your d—d friend’s hip. Until very recently It was worn by my good friend Georges Dupuy.” "You found a dead Frenchman?" 1 asked Round Puw. He touched the hank of brown hair. • Beauvais went on.

Dear Friend:—Just wanted to add a line to the members of the association who might happen out this way some day and want them to know we would be glad to see any of them any time they might come. Also to ask you If you will let my old class of 1918 know that I think of our good times, trials, etc., and dll the old familiar as­ sociations that we had together. At this time of the year I think of them all more than ever, and as I will have to miss this and probably many more reunions. I certainly would ap­ preciate It if you would let them know my address, and will be more than glad to hear from any of them. Now I surely wish the association a real good time at this reuMon. and al­ though we can't be there nevertheless on that particular night our thoughts will be at that gathering and cur best wishes will be yours. Thanking you for this favor, I am. Your friend and Alumnus. Howard R. Sprague. CIVIL WAR VETERAN SPENDS SUMMER AT NEARBY LAKE. Frank C. Rowley Has Cottage of Ills ' Own and Loves to Angle for Fish. ; Frank C. Rowley, who came to Port­ land to spend Decoration daj- at the home of Ms daughter. Mrs. Leo C. Lehman, gets a great deal of pleasure out of life, though he has reached his 80th year. A Civil war veteran he spends most of the winter at the sol­ diers' home, coming to Portland for oc­ casional visits. Most of his summers are spent at a cottage he owns on Thornapple lake, between Hastings and Nashville, where fishing is good—a sport in which he loves to indulge. When gold was discovered in Alaska Mr. Rowley, with some younger com­ panions. Joined in the rush for that country. On arrival he sized up the climate, the danger to health, for he was then about 50. and decided to stay inland. Some of those who pushed on found gold but lost their health. He still owns stock In a gold mine in that country and until recently it has paid dividends. Vigorous beyond what would be ex­ pected of one of Ms years he blds fair to come close to the century mark.— Portland Review. IN MEMORIAM Nashville, June 4. 1928. Whereas the Supreme Ruler of the Universe has in His infinite wisdom taken from our midst our Sister Lida Kraft, and whereas we realize that in the death of Sister Kraft. Nashville Temple No. 79, Pythian Sisters, has lost one of its most loyal members, therefore be it re­ solved. that we bow in humble sub­ mission to the will of our Supreme Ruler, and we will ever cherish the memry of our esteemed Sister. Resolved: that in loving memory our Charter shall be draped in mourning for 30 days and a page set apart in our records dedicated to her memory. Resolved: that a copy of these reso­ lutions shall be presented to the fam­ ily of our Sister, a copy spread upon our records, and a copy sent to The A FREAK Nashville News for publication.

The Postoffice Pharmacy Elimination of Pullman Surcharge Will Involve Loss of $40,000,000 to Railroads and Will Shift the Burden Upon Those Who Do Not Enjoy the Service THE Pullman sleeping car after all if a hotel on wheels. It provides an unusual service. It represents a heavy investment per passenger. The berth charge and tiie surcharge of 50 per cent (which latter is the only revenue the railroads derive from this high class service) together, are not out of line with the charge for a room In a modern high class hotel. SINCE the Pullman sleeping car passenger enjoys greater comfort than does the passenger in the day coach, he should expect to pay for the added comfort. The Pullman passenger is allotted two and one half times as much space as the person riding in the day coach. The car weight per passenger of the average day coach­ assuming that it is filled—is about 6,800 pounds. The car weight per passenger of the average Pullman sleeping car— assuming that sleeper is filled—is about 12,260 pounds. The cost to the railroad of hauling a sleeping car passenger is, therefore, approximately twice as much. Should not the sleeping car passenger pay for these additional privi­ leges to the passenger and the obligations devolving upon the railroads? QUALITY FURNITURE FOR LESS MONEY ANOTHER illustration: The sleeping car lines to Michigan resorts in summer and to Florida or California resorts in the winter, are seasonal movements. The travel is all in one direction, which means that the return movement is an empty one.

CONFIDENCE AND CONCEIT. Efficiency experts and practitioners In the art o' super-salesmanship lay stress on what is casually termed "self­ confidence." To sell one’s product or to sell one’s self, they say one must have confidence In one’s products or in one’s ability and talents. But there Is a wide difference be­ tween legitimate self-confidence and stupid conceit. The latter quality, un­ fortunately, Is to be found In many persons, In many different walks of life, and when displayed to any no­ ticeable degree at all. Is insufferable. Beautiful women, that is, those who are naturally beautiful and do not have to depend upon artificial aids, often take on the air of having .been altogether responsible for their pulchritude. They forget that fate just as easily might have made them hideous. And the same thing Is true of the hand­ some youth who realizing his hand­ someness, affects the role of having > been altogether responsible for his good looks. Fate might just as easily have marred him, too. Conceit, however. takes Its worst form In those human frames which lay claim to more than the average brains or intellectuality, and this ap­ plies particularly to professional walks of life. Even In the matter of brains or Intellect, whatever gods there be obviously are as capable of producing morons as they are of producing intel­ lectual giants. The most beautiful woman, of course. Is the woman, who although quite lovely, seems uncons­ cious of IL And the wisest man is he who realizes that mortal wisdom, and especially his own endowment of It. has many limitations. Confidence Is a quality of strength and ability; conceit Is the attribute of the Incurably silly. hoped to achieve in other callings, and always the worthiest students have been those who sought culture for it­ self and regarded money as of secon­ dary importance. You can always tell a native at a resort. He assures you the weather is unusual. COURTESY WILL PAY Michigan Is upon the eve of a tour­ ist invasion. Within a few weeks the state will be thronged with thnn—nds of visitors seeking rest and recreation. Every one of these visitors will carry away some opinion of the community and the people they visit. There are innumerable things the people of Michigan can do to create an indelible impression. To the tourists the community they visit will not be remembered because of a printed prospectus or the written claims of what we possess. One of the most Impressive things will be the courtesy which Is extended to the vis­ itor by everyone with whom he may come in contact. Those contacts may not be very large, with a storekeeper, or perhaps some citizen from whom directions are casually asked. Every action to those who visit here should be one of courtesy. We are the hosts. They are the guests. Let them be made welcome to the com­ munity as we would welcome them to our homes. Such action will not only be pleas­ ing to the tourists, but would set up standards of courtesy which would prevail all the year round In our re­ lations with one another.

Had I been a Frenchman, I would have felt discouraged over our reception. Tbe absence of warriors was partly ex­ plained by those we saw through cab­ In door? sleeping off the effects of a debauch. ’’ • — U.-—-What was disturbing was tbe glimpse 1 caught of a white man. dressed as an Indian and wearing a tiny silver hatchet on a neck chain. I had met him before, and hls pres­ ence in tbe village made It impossible for me to claim a recent departure from Duquesne. He was earnestly talking to an aged Delaware. The In­ dian clutched a bottle of brandy in bls hand while he listened. After passing this* cabin, our con­ ductors halted before an empty hut and informed us it would be our quarters while In tbe villaga They seemed to be in haste to leave us, but when outside the door, one halted and said: "Allaquippa, tbe woman sachem, will ask where you came from." "Tell her a Frenchman and a Caughnawauga Iroquois have come from a scout to Castleman'e river and would rest before going on to Duquesna" "The path between Allaqulppa’s vil­ lage and Duquesne is beaten down very hard by French feet. The LenlLena pc's moccasins slip In traveling over It Our sachem aays tbe path Is old and worn out" he replied. "I see a French brother is here ahead of us," I said. Ignoring hls veiled hint that too many Frenchmen were coming to the village to suit Allaquippa. He sullenly replied: "He brings much brandy, which is bad. He brings a belt, which is very bad.” Bo our coup on the red carrier of belts bad not stopped the war talk of the enemy from reaching the vil­ lage. However, tbe Delaware's open disapproval of us spoke well for the loyalty of the woman to the English Requesting Round Paw to remain near the hut 1 departed to look up the owner of the silver ax, and by a bold course disarm suspicion. When I baited tn the doorway of hls cabin he glanced up with an ugly scowl, then was slightly perplexed for a moment Before 1 could announce myself, be was coming forward to greet me, and exclaiming: “Monsieur Beland, who was at oui fort in the spring! My heart sing* to behold you again. I have been in this cursed place two days, trying to get an audience with that old demon AllaquippaWelcome a thousand times. And let us drink if 1 can find a bottle these filthy ones have oof mouthed." “Name of joy! 1 am rejoiced co see Monsieur Falest once more," 1 genially cried. We embraced, and he waved me to a keg and requested that I take my ease. Hls Indian companion rose, still clutching the half-emptied bottle, and staggered outdoors. "Faugh I” exclaimed Falest. Whither do you travel?" "I have been scouting far to the east, monsieur, in company with one of our Indiana I am on my way to Ouquesne, and stopped here to see if the Indian woman is holding ber red children from picking up our ax.’ "Monsieur, Hie Is a daughter of the devil. 1 have waited two days to of fer her a belt. She sulks in ber cabin and will not see ma Her men are uneasy. Today they are drunk and would take our belts If not for her She opposes Franca She must die.’ "Of a certainty. Monsieur Falest. Our minds run as one But tbe French must not appear in it, enF “Pardil No. But an accident? Yes. One of her drunken warriors fires a gun. Behold! The old red shrew Is dead. We will see We will have patience for a bit. It must not any happen—the accident—while r Frenchman Is In the village No. no. Now for the newa I am bun gry to hear how it goes with Brad dock and bls army." “Tbe army is large and will bring much artillery. Tbe road building man is an insult to a woman.

If this village and others would lay ambuscades and keep on the skirts of tbe army and pick off their scouts and sentinels, then the English spirit might weaken. If the army can be harassed from tbe Little crossing to the Monongahela by surprise attacks, our fort Indians might do something, at least enough to make the taking of the fort very costly and prevent Braddock from marching against Niagara, or sending aid to the army attacking Crown Point. Monsieur Beland, it griever me to confide to you that Fort Du quesne Is lost/^HBM "Such talk is madness, monsieur,” 1 hotly protested. “It will be time to say that after the fort has been tak­ en. I shall hasten to Duquesne to tell Captain Beaujeu wbat I have learned monsieur." “Good! I will try again tc see the old red woman and offer tier our belts. There is another man here, much younger than you, who wishes to gel through to Duquesna Be will travel with ma Be Is English but has a French heart Allaquippa makes him welcome, but she will not send a body of ber savages to escort him safe to the fort She fears they might oot return to ber. Accompany ma 11 you care, monsieur, and witness hon my last attempt turns out." We left the cabin, and wbat few women and children and aged war riore we met eyed us with curiosity but with no enthusiasm. Falest nerv­ ously fingered the tiny ax pendant, and looped the belt over hls left. arm. As we slowly walked througb tbe vil­ lage I noted hls gaze was ever wau dering toward the forest on the north of the town. "Monsieur expects some one," I murmured. “Ah, Monsieur Sharp Eyes! Sacre: But you speak trua The Burou should be here before thia Pardon, moneieur. If 1 appear distrait over the failure of one of our Hurons to arrive with war belts from the lake tribes. If the Huron had arrived lust night, as arranged, we would make tbe old woman much afraid. A big show of belts might shake ber out of her cursed partiality to the English." And after all tbe Onondaga’s ax bad done good work tn dropping the carrier of belts. I felt much encour­ aged. Some children came running toward oa from between the huts. They were followed by a dozen sulleu-faced Del­ awares and some women. Then Al laqulppa herself appeared, and walk Ing by ber side, still dressed as a man and carrying the short tine of the Frenchman Beauvais, was tbe Din wold girt She gave a start of sur prise on beholding me. but I made no sign of recognition, and she held ber tongua . Queen Allaquippa was withered ot face and sharp of features, and very keen of eye. There was displeasure in ber countenance as she gazed on us. She halted, and we did likewise some ten feet apart. Falert produced a long-stemmed pipe and filled It with a mixture of willow bark and tobacco Lighting this, be took a few puffs and banded it to a warrior who gave It to Allaquippa. Tbe woman sachem hesitated, but ber village was small and too dose to Duquesne for any needless flouting ol the French. She smoked. Falest spoke more tor tbe benefit of tbe spectators than In u nope of winning over the sachem un<1 used. In my er timatlou. poor diplomacy.

He advanced and extended foot strings of white wampum which Al laqulppa received with open reluc anee Her beady eyes glittered malev olently as she met and held tbe Falest stepr>ed back and continued: “Brethren, I am here to tel) you that your father and my master, the king of tbe French, Is coming to visit you and take you under tils care.

She folded her arms and would not accept it. Be hung It over her shoul­ der. With a twist of her body she dislodged it and It fell to tbe ground. Then, snatching the short rifle from tbe Dinwold girl, she flipped tbe belt .T some of those warriors. They maj take It and pick up your hatchet." -Tbe old red devil!" grated Falest and be turned on hls heel and stalked back to hls cabin. Now 1 bad time to look at tbe Din wold girl; she was frowning as if per plexed at my attitude. Allaquippa quickly demanded my attention by coming close and asking: “Wbat does tbe white man want here? Does he bring more red belts from the Ohio?" going to Duquesne." "You talk our tongue like tbe French. You have a French heart.** It was necessary that all her war­ riors should believe this even though it meant that my bair might be in a hoop before I could make the fort. I declared my loyalty to France and was tbe target for many scowling , | glances. Allaquippa warned: "Frenchmen do not sleep well in ■ Allaqulppa's town. They have bad dreams and dream they are ghosts, that a Delaware ax Is sticking in their heads.*’ Without further epeecb she walked back to her cabin. The Dinwold girl lingered. "What do you do here?” 1 asked. TWby are you not back at Will’s creekr "1 am English, mister, but 1 have tound'the English cruel," Hie sullenly toid ma “Now 1 will try tbe French." With a flare of anger she added, “What Is it to you where I go, or bow 1 fare, mister?" "You are a woman and need help." “God forgive ma if He hasn’t for­ gotten me! Yes. 1 have needed help. Three times you have helped me. If "Mayhap I shall find happiness among the French. If not with them, then among the Indiana I can stay here The Indian‘woman knows I am a woman and likes ma I think. She Is kind to ma Nothing can barm me here." "And lead a red life and forget your white blood 1 It's unthlnkabla" I hotly protested. Then 1 sought to reason with ber and urged ber to start back to meet tbe army. Allaquippa would give ber an escort ot Delaware* But the one wild notion of finding happiness away from the settlements filled her small bead, and she replied: “I will go on even if 1 die In the woods. I have talked with Mr. Falest. Be epeaks good English. He knows I am a woman and promised he would tel) no ona 1 believe he’s an honest man.’’ “I too know Falest 1 believe him to be an honorable man. 1 will talk with him not to take you to Du quesne; that you are young and do not know your own mind," I warned her. Her Uiln face became convulsed with anger ana her small teeth were exposed tn a feline snarl. “So? Then let us both talk to Mr. Falest It's mortal strange that you, a scout for Braddock, should be friendly with tbe Frenchman. Have you told him about tbe fight at tbe cabin? Of that other Frenchman you threw on the floor? And what be­ came of that man? That’s a vastly queer way to make a Frenchman like an English man." Her mad words recalled me to my danger. ”1 will ray nothing to Falest. You will hold your tongue about ma the French.” She Sullenly ToW Mf. turned from me while she conquered her weakness: then with a little toes tooch it with her bands, tn a deep masculine voice, she replied: “Brother Onondo: 1 nave beard from tbe English The Delawares will not accept your war belt.

When Better Automobiles Are BuilL.—Buick Will Build Them “GAY NINETIES’’ SHOW WAY TO MODERNISTS The hosts of the "gay nineties" prob­ ably are enjoying a laugh at the ultra­ moderns. The "Modernists" as represented by the Oakland Motor Car company, thought they had something new and smart in the way of an automobile advertising novelty when they marked the introduction of the Pontiac Six by striking a medal. It b* re a likeness of Pontiac, famous Ottawa cheiftaln and was inscribed "Pontiac. Chief of ihe Sixes.” But just a few days ago a laborer excavating near the Oakland Six plant unearthed a medal of almost identical size and bearing another conception of Chief Pontiac's features. On its obverse side was the inscription "Pon­ tiac Buggy Co.. Pontiac, Mich. Wes­ tern Amesbury Line.” Investigation revealed the medal was struck in 1896 to celebrate the intro­ duction of the "Western Amesbury" line of buggies which the reverse side of the medal asserts "are worth 100 cents on the dollar in gold.” Thus the Pontiac Buggy company which later evolved into the Oakland Motor Car company appears to have beaten Oakland to the idea by a mar­ gin of about 32 years.

Although barley has proved to be a good substitute for com as an efficient grain for a fattening ration, a field of com will fatten many more head of livestock than the same field planted to barley. This Is the result of one of the most significant of the experiments con' ducted by the M. S.

The steer feeding experiments for 1927-28 showed that steers have re­ turned a good profit this year In spite of high feed costs, which is the reverse of conditions that have existed during the past several years when many feeders have produced beef without profit. ’ The results of a winter swine feeding experiment made public at Feeders Day. showed hogs housed in portable houses subjected to low temperatures Search Your Attic For Fortunes In Old Envelopes Among the old letters of many fam­ ilies are hundreds of very rare stamps and envelopes. Many have been found and sold for fortunes. Single envelop­ es have been sold for as high as 46,000, and many have brought upwards of 1100 each. It sounds “fishy”, but It’s true. They are valuable because they are rare. And they are rare, not be­ cause there are only a few, but simply because most of them have remained stored away and forgotten, in old trunks, family chests and closets. Make a thorough search through your attic or store room for such old letters—anything mailed from 1845 to 1865. Fortunes in rare stamps have been found in old trunks which no one ever dreamed contained anything of value. Keep the letters if you wish but send the envelope to Mr. Harold C. Brooks. Box 328.

At th; special school election held last week, the 14-year bond issue of $70,000 for additional building again met defeat. Out of 355 votes cast, 141 registered in favor of the proposition, 210 were opposed, one ballot was chal­ lenged and three thrown out. Mem­ bers of the school board were at Lan­ sing Monday to investigate the legali­ ty of the action of the patrons of the district In voting to raise by taxation *70,000 for the purpose of building an addition and received a report from the state attorney's office to the effect that under a 1927 act such appropria­ tion can not be made at the annual meeting in graded districts. WEEK END RAIDS KEEP OFFICIALS BUSY. Sheriff Geo. Leonard and his staff of deputies, assisted by members of the state police, had a busy time over the week end, staging several raids that re­ sulted in bringing eleven men into court to answer to charges of violating the liquor law. Calvin L. Bancroft, county seat at­ torney, is one of the victims, and is charged with possession, a search of his office bringing to light 12 pints of "bottled in bond." When arraigned, Bancroft demanded an examination, which has been set for June 28th. The officers also visited the Fleming farm in Carlton township and un­ earthed a still* and several gallons of moonshine. Claude Fleming was ar­ rested. and his examination Is also set for June 28th. Several quarts of bonded liquor were found in the rooms of Frank Gamble, in the Hendershott building, and Gam­ ble was bound over to the circuit court. L«e Washburn of Battle Creek was caught delivering a box containing several quarts of liquor in the Hender­ shott building, and he also will have an opportunity to explain the situa­ tion In court. F. T. Ford and Frank Jesse of De­ troit were picked up, when a search of their car revealed five quarts of moonshine. Arraigned in Justice court they waived examination, and being uable to furnish ball are in the county bastlie awaiting circuit court trial. A call from Long lake summoned the officials to that part of the county and they were just in time to Interrupt a boisterous party and Increase their col­ lection of hootch to the extent of 200 bottles of beer and a quantity of moon­ shine. Six revelers haling from Battle Creek, were taken into custody. HENRY F. GATES DEAD Henry F. Gates, of Imperial Valley.

THEY DARED AND WE OUGHT TO. July 4. 1778, will always remain one of the eloquent dates in ilmerlcan his­ tory. Something happened then that was heard the world around, the echoes of which have kept on resounding. Our forebears who participated in the momentous event were very human, possessing foibles, eccentricities To use a Scriptural phrase, “ were men of like passions" with us. The inspiring tiling is they nobly dared. To be sure, there was nothing like unanimity among the leaders of that generation which announced the Dec­ laration of Independence, fought the Revolutionary war and framed the Constitution. The controverts] spirit was rife; the debates were often acri­ monious: vital and far reaching issues were decided by narrow margins. There was a good deal of wrangling, ad confusion, but happily no chaos. The main point Is they nobly dared. Amidst the many tokens which sene to remind us what happened 152 years ago in Philadelphia, we do well to re­ member the adventuresomcness of IL Without the daring spirit, the auda­ cious mind, the willingness to take a sublime risk, there would have been no Declaration, no Constitution, no newly born nation, with lusty voice and grow­ ing limb .They nobly dared and lo— this America! It was Wendell Phillips who said that to be as good as our fathers we have to be better; to do as much as they did we have to do more; to go as far as they went we have to go furth­ er.

Five miles had been a good day's march. Some days only ball that distance had been covered. Be cause of the artillery and the many wagons ft was necessary to bait and build bridges over the many creeks and make a passable road through every stretch of swamp. It resulted that toe wagons and packhorses were strung out to a most dangerous length Could the French have led their In dlans beyond the Little crossing it U my belief the army would never have reached the Great crossing. The steady salt diet had brought a general sickness to the army. I was especially sorry to learn that Colonel Washington a veteran tn Western travel, bud been ill for several days The army bad used up ten days in making the Little Meadows, a distance of from twenty-five to thirty miles, s good day’s travel for such men at Gist and Croghan. At that camp, a council of war bad been held by the commander and all staff officers. At that council Colonel Washington bad boldly urged a rapid forward movement. with toe light di vision, leaving the heavy troops tc come up as best they could. Unfor tuna tely bis rank did opt permit him to du more than advise, although hl* opinion was sought, by Braddock. ft was decided at this council that St. ('lair, with four hundred men should go ahead to hurry up the roan work, with Braddock. Burton, Halket and Sparks following two days latei with eight hundred picked men. Thhdecision gave great offense to Colonel Dunbar who. with Chapman and others, was left behind. Thus we had noi only sickness in the army but, also ill feeling and jealousy. On the day Braddock left the Meadows be announced be would reach Fort Duquesne not later than June twenty-eighth. But although ft wat only seventeen miles to the Great crossing, tills portion of toe march was not covered until June twenty fourth, making five more precious days consumed. Truth of it was toe entire army was forced to mark time at the heels of St. Clair’s tree-cbop pen. it surprised me to learn that small Bands of Indians were already tiaras* Jug the army and that only strict po lice methods prevented a massacre At that point In the campaign. Cap tain Jack and his riflemen would have been of inestimable service. it was obvious thnt toe army wan sick and disrupted, and that the pro vlnclals were filled with foreboding*as they dally looked for a fight in the woods while being tied down and bam pered by absurd military restrictions This gloomy bearing on the part ol men rupposed to know the ways oi the Indian discouraged the regulars What was another Inexplicable piece of folly was Braddock’s failure to util ize Croghan's forty Iroquois warriorod the march, ft seems that Colonel James lunes, governor st Fort Cum berland. did not wish to have any oi the sixty Indian women and children left under his care during Braddock’s absence. He assured rhe commander (hat eight Indians would suffice as scouts and thnt the rest should be directed to take their families away from the creek. Why General Braddock should have listened to such ruinous advice Is be vend any forest-runner’s comprehen ■don Up rn rhe time rhe Onondaga and I left Will’s creek It had been the commander's great desire to have as large a body of Indians accompany . him . us p*»-sible.

While li the ramp, he had been Impressed h’ the great fear of the men. They con­ sidered ft miraculous that my com­ panion should succeed in bringing a French prisoner through the enemy’s savages end into the camp. Although be assured them that nu Indians were then lurking about toe camp, they were very loath to sep­ arate from one another, or to pene­ trate more than a short distance Into the woods. False alarms were repeat­ edly being given, ail of which slowed up the work of hewing out the road for Braddock. While Id the road-camp. Cromlt had met Chriaiopher Gist, veteran of the Ohio country, who was now acting as a scon: for Braddock. On learning that Cromlt was to report back to me. could he find me. Gist bad supplied him with many of the facta relating to the departure of the army from the creek and Its faring as far as the Ortat rtmrtr.lt. ’’And that J net about empties my •kuli," said Cromlt in finishing bis qucsne Id two shakes of a dog’s talL’ "No matter how slow the army Is tn coming. It will reach the fort.” 1 told him. "The French are whipped already." He said nothing to this, and for once I found the grin missing from his homely face. I explained my plan for him to wait In Allaqulppa’s vll luge and to be ready night and day to carry to the army any news that the Onondaga might bring In. The program did not please him, but his visit to Hogg's camp had Impressed him with a fear that all was not go­ ing well with our cause, and he was much more amenable to reason than formerly. Round Paw was waiting for us at the southern end of the village. To relieve Cromlt from possible annoy­ ance should he be seen In the com­ pany of on avowed supporter of the French, we agreed it was better for the Indian and me to enter the village together, while he held back for an hour. When l»e next caw ua, he was not to recognise us. Repeating my Instructions, and re­ minding him that he would be favor­ ably received as a scout for the col­ onies, the Onondaga and I swung Into the path and made for the cabins. Having already been guests in the village, we did not go through the formality of shouting our names. We went to the cabin set aside tor strangers and were promptly served with meat and a coarse bread. It was evident that Queen Ailaquippa did not wish us to delay our departure. We did not propose leaving, however, until Cromlt had put tn his appearonce. News forwarded from Du­ quesne would be useless unless the McDowell’s mill man was waiting to carry it to the army. Before depart­ ing for the fort. I bad to satisfy my­ self. that Cromlt would not be re­ fused shelter in-the village; so we ate our meat leisurely and fought the minutes. Having finished and wiped our fin gers on little bundles of dried grass I proceeded to mend my moccasins After I had made my foot-gear as good as new I advised the Onondaga to take bls time. When I believed an hour bad elapsed, 1 peered through a small bole at the end of the cabin and beheld Cromlt striding from the woods. He halted and shouted the guest call and was promptly confronted by several warriors. They talked with him for a few moments and then gladly shouted: "Ingellshman 1 Ingellshman I” They seized his hands and patted his shoulders and in a hospitable pantomime waved their arms and pointed toward the cabins. He entered the village and the word was rapidly passed that he ’war “Ingellshman’'; and where we had re­ ceived scowls and frowns be beheld nothing but beaming countenances He wandered about and passed our cabin and beheld us but guvs no sign of recognition.

There could be no par­ tial success; either I would remain unsuspected, or go into a Huron ket­ tle. I realized that some tongue might have wagged since my former visit, for news travels fast In the forest All doubts van!sited, however, when Captain Beaujeu ran from the bouse and embraced me warmly. In dress and appearance, 1 was only a coureur de bols. but on our first meeting I had given the name of un old family, whose fortunes were ruined, but whose blood held good. Captain Beaujeu was forty-four years of age. a native of Montreal His father had been a captain at Tnree Rivera, und forest fighting ran in the blood. The son already wore the cross of a Knight of St Ixiuband had served s* rommanrtnnt at Niagara. He was absolutely Incapable of fear and possewwi a »»nl courage that went well with his heart Othei Frenchmen, who did little in compart •on with his supreme accomplishment, are registered on the printed page, but few tn these Inner days know the deeds of Beaujeu. We had some wine and be pressed me for news. I gave him a part of the information Cromlt bad brought but I made no mention of the genera' sickness among the soldiers, nor of the uneasiness among the regulars and provincials, nor of the jealousies and bitterness among the officers. In so far as I talked, i spoke truthfully, for bis spies had been, and would be. keeping him informed, and 1 bad no "We will fight number of mil la. hihm “We are weaker In regulars and mi­ litia than we were In the spring," be calmly replied. “But we have lacreased our Indian force a tittle.

But 1 have dreamed of waking and finding their huts empty, of finding my red allies returning to their north­ ern villages. There have been no re^ Inforcements from Canada.

A runner arrived yesterday, saying the army has reached Jacobs’ creek and is waiting there for provisions to be brought up. So the English are hav­ ing their troubles.

But If Braddock chooses to march across Turtle creek, twelve miles from its mouth, there will be no chance for an ambuscade; for the country, although rough for travel, has no good cover for a surprise attack. If be comes along that line, then all we can do is to die fighting." ’•Let us hope for the best," -I said. 1 was devoutly sincere in saying it, only my “best" was not his.

Tis the voices of the children. Who are singing loud and shrill; In the old red brick schoolhouse, In the village of Nashville.

Then I gain the upper floor. Through this hall I start to wander As I’ve often done before. Another stretch of years elapses, Here I meet a different corps Of teachers, than at first I met Down upon the old main floor. Miss Brayton with her blush and smile Comes from the language room. And as we visit here a while Other faces to me come. L. B. Alger shakes my hand now As his face beams with a smile, H. D. Wotring joins us too And we chat for quite a while. Then I ask them how it happens That since years have passed away, They still continue teaching here. As they did of yesterday. "Why!” they say, “We came to visit The old school, as you have done. And in meeting all these old friends We have had a lot of fun." Mr. Alger always did have Such a pleasing way. we thought. And always gained our confidence In any lessons that he taught Now he said to me and Wotring "We’ve enjoyed this meeting sure. And as we go our different ways Our new trials to endure.

Barrette, associate editor of the Peoria (Ill.) Journal Transcript, sasy: That when the enigmatic Browning wrote "truth never hurt the teller", advertising was little more than the casual use of painted signs calling the wandering pedestrian's attention 'to what was sold beneath the shingle. But when a serious minded advertis­ ing enthusiast scribbled the slogan "truth in advertising”, the Industry of which he was a part had grown until it gave employment to thousands of men and women, created a popular demand for hundreds of thousands of worthy products of man’s industrial ingenuity, and educated millions of buyers to more thoughtful purchasing The evolution of advertising has been fascinating. Once merely a derice to sell goods, it is now an agency’ for the promotion of ideas. Once merely a stunt to remind potential buyers of the location of the opportunities for their want-gratification it has now become an economic force which creates and fosters buyer-demand as well as inspir­ es buyer-confidence. The successful newspaper seeks to guard most zealously, what It terms reader confidence. The wise advertiser can afford to learn from the men from whom he buys space, and guard, as zealously, buyer confidence. To this end. he must not only be truthful about his product; he must also be truthful about the Ideas which animate his business and the ideals which in­ spire him to industrial or commercial enterprise. Advertising is a thrift force, a home builder and a community preserver, in direct proportion to the fidelity it pre­ serves to the idea behind the product it seeks to sell. Truth In advertising is more than strict observance to the let­ ter of the copy. It is also a contempt for equivocation and a determination to be true to the idea behind the bus­ iness for which it is a mouthpiece. The whole truth is as important in advertising as nothing but the truth. Applications on File. Robert E. Bechtel. 20. Hastings. Loyola M. Miller. 17. Hastings. J. JSlmer Roush. 21. Hastings.

The largest at­ tendance in the history of the Michi­ gan State Fair is expected here September 2-8. with prospects pointing to nearly 400.000 people viewing the 79th annual exhibition. With this anticipated increase over last year. 256,000 paid admission to the grounds, despite the handicap of two rainy days, facilities for entering and leaving the grand stand have been enlarged two and one-half times, providing easier and more rapid access to the stands. The enlarged entertainment program this year is expected to aid in breaking last year's record. Of great interest to out-of-town vis­ itors will be the competition in both draft and standard bred horses, where total premiums offered will reach $15,250. Entries in this department will close promptly Saturday. August 18 and exhibitors will be released on Saturday. Sept. 8.

During the evenings, in conjunction with 21 acts of vaudeville, the pageant and fireworks spectacle—“A Night in Bagdad” will hold the interest tf the audience. This is the most impressive and complete presentation of oriental fantasy that has been shown to date in an>' state fair in the country! A procession of hundreds of Bagdad's citizens in colorful dress will precede the illumination of the city, which is shown on a stage 500 feet long. Jew­ eled palaces, sparkling minarets and domes of the city will stand out in re­ lief against mountains in the back­ ground. A special cast of actors and ballet dancers will participate in the ceremonies accompanying tne pageant, which ends in a glorious burst of fire­ works and enormous set pieces, punct­ uated by detonations from electrical bombs. The growth of the state fair this year is reflected by the leasing to date of $56,000 worth of space, compared with $19,000 sold at this time last year. Many of the buildings at the Fair have been re-decorated and their light­ ing and ventilating greatly improved.

Hundreds of Names for Growers Group Suggested by Farm Residents. Mrs. Hazel A. Tubbs. Armada, has been awarded a prize of fifty dollars for suggesting the best name for a group of the leading sugar beet grow­ ers of Mlshlgan. The name contest, conducted by sugar companies of Michigan and Michigan State College, was entered by several hundred Michigan fanners or members of their families. Farm wom­ en were especially resourceful in sug­ gesting names. The title suggested by Mrs. Tubbs, “Banner Beet Growers", was selected after the hundreds of titles had been reduced to those sent in by J. Liscomb, Merrill; Helen Paxton, McBrides; Mrs. Everett Henderson. Memphis; ML E. Sellers, Akron; Lewis Gilman, Vandal­ ia; Mrs. Will Kahn. Lowell; Jessie E. Yawger. Hale: Mrs. L. H. Bates, Rom­ eo: Harry Trussler. Vale; Arthur Johnson. Bangor; Mrs. Theodore Doll, Forest Hill; and Mrs. Maud Steele, St. Charles. Fifty of the leading sugar beet growers of Michigan have been nomi­ nated for places in the first year’s group of Banner Beet Growers. Twen­ ty of these men will be chosen. Selection of members of the group will be determined by their success in producing a crop of beets by methods which are practical and which leave the grower a fair profit for his work and the capital which he has invested.

WALKER HEBE is one thing for which the most of us strive all our lives— MONEY. Ever since the world began the pos­ session of money by one person has been tbe incentive for others to seek to take It away and add it to their own stores. Sometimes tills is done by honest means, by the channels of trade. Bat alyways there are dishonest and un­ principled individuals who with books baited with tempting financial returns are trading on the human desire to get more money and get it as easily as possible. How much of your money has gone or at this moment is in danger of go­ ing to somebody who is dangling in front of you a possible financial re­ turn for your hard-earned funds that is tempting you to take a risk that you know is dangerous? Earning money and saving money are useless efforts unless when you have acquired the money you are wise enough to take care of it Don't gamble in stocks. Wiser and richer men than you have “gone broke” trying to make'money in "the market" Unless you know about them, do not buy any securities of any kind without tbe advice of some one who is acquainted with the investment of money. If your money is in a bank, and that Is where it should be unless it is already Invested, get some officer of the bank to advise you. If you think that there is an ad­ vantageous opportunity to buy real estate, go to some man who knows real estate and take his advice. It will be better to pay him for tbe ad­ vice than to lose the money. Look on your money just as you do on your health. If you have doubts as to whether you are eating the right food, you go to some one in whom you have faith and ask advice, and follow IL Do the same thing with your pocketbook and Its contents. Get good advice and follow it If you hare been wholly honest with other people in getting your money, be wholly honest with your­ self in taking care of it and you can­ not be that if you hope and try to gain more from its investment than It can properly earn. There is a reoscuable expectation from Investment To get less than that is cheating yourself. To try to get more Is to seek to cheat the other fellow. And that doesn't pay.

I must be busy for a bit of rounding out my plans for a grand coup. But we will dine leisurely tonight There will be several at the table whom you met on your former visit There.will be Lieutenant de Carquevllle, Sieur de Parieux and Lieutenant de la Pa­ rade.

But I recall no officer acquaintance of that name.” “Somehow you two Impress me as being much alike. Tbe pleasure will be mutual, I know. I only regret poor Dupuy could not be here." "I regret to infer from your word*, monsieur, that your friend Is dead.” “Killed on a recent scout If is the reward of the forest brave men.” My mind was whirling. My words seemed to come without any mental volition and I did not realize what I was saying until I had aald It De Beaujeu. as he escorted me to the door, added: “Like yourself Beauvais Is a man of deeds. He loves to go alone Into the dangerous places." “You flatter me. monsieur. And what hour do we dine?” "We will not wait for Lieutenant Beauvais after seven. He should be here today.” There came a great surge of relief. His speech cleared the situation some­ what Dupuy, killed by the Onondnga outside the little cabin, had been re­ ported dead by the French Indian*. Beauvais had been captured inside tbe cabin and his three red compan­ ions had died. So. there were no wit­ nesses to his fate. Then I remembered the Frenchman carrying belts to Allaqulppa and in parting from the commandant said: “And Monsieur Falest? I trust to see him. Of course he has told you of our meeting in Allaqulppa’s town. I liked him much.? "Walt wait monsieur! If yon please, tell me about Monsieur Falest. He should be here before now. He carries belts from the governor of Canada. The belts were refused. A Huron, who carried belt* from Pon­ tiac, was found dead just outside tbe village. I am anxious to hear the details.” Now for a surety was I nonpulsed He was waiting for Falest to come and Falest had started twelve hours ahead of me. But Falest hod not ar­ rived. and yet the commandant knew the belts were refused by Allaqulppu and that the Huron was dead. I stole a glance at bis dork face, wondering if be were playing with me—If his cordlaf-- welcome was but a piece of mockery. He detected something In my face, and further Inquired: "You have kept back some bad new?, monsieur?” His tone was hard and brittle, that of a commandant rather than of a courteous host. I told him: “Your words hove surprised me. Monsieur Falest started for this place early last evening. Intending to make a night trip of It. He was accom­ panied by a young Englishman who has a French heart.” “Saere blent Do you rave, or are my ears lying to me?” he fiercely de­ manded. “Monsieur de Beuujeu I" I exclaimed. The bewilderment reflected in my thin face must have Impressed him as being genuine, for be bastlly.cried: "A thousand pardons If I seem to be rude. Monsieur Beland. Bur here Is a mystery. Ha I Periiaps a bloody mys­ tery. One that bodes 111 for Du­ quesne.” “Captain de Beaujeu. your word* are ao many puzzles to me." I coldly Informed him. “1 stood at the side of Monsieur Falest when be offered bls belt to Allaqulppa. who refused IL I was not in the village, however, when the dead Huron was found. I know that Allaqulppa did not relish our friend's presence In the village and that be left early In the evening in­ stead of waiting to make the journey with me In the morning a* we had agreed. Do you mean to ray that be and tbe young Englishman have not arrived?” “The Englishman arrived, but not with Falest. It is like this Monsieur Beland: Tbe young man arrived be tore daylight But h was Lieutenant Beauvais who accompanied Mm." I was tongue-tied for a good minute it did not take me a second to realise that in tbe vague light of early mom-, tag Cromlt had made a mistake and had killed poor Faleet Instead .of Beauvais; that it was Beauvais and the girl who bad passed so close to me when they entered tbe fort trail tn tbe evening. Falest whom I feared none, was st the bottom of the Monongahela; Beauvais, the last man 1 desired to meet was due at any moment to keep a dinner appointment with me at the board. Tbe world seemed to be tumbling about my ears I could only say: ' "I do not understand. Falest was to leave the Indian village with me. Because of Allaqulppa'* 111 will, he changed Ids plans and left at night; or at least I surely believed be left at night. Now, behold I A miracle 1* worked. He starts with the English­ man. and it Is Lieutenant Beauvais who comes in his placer Beaujeu smiled faintly and pleasant­ ly said: “It may not be n mystery after alL Lieutenant Beauvais did tell me that Falest planned to start at night and for some reason changed his plan. The Englishman who Is French at heart was impatient to reach the fort and came with Beauvais Instead of waiting to come with Falest. Yea, It is simple enough to get some bit of news. I shall be surprised If he does not arrive before we sit dotfn to din­ ner. Ah, now it begins to straighten out. For some rearou Falest left the village last night. Our belt had been refused and our Huron killed. Beau­ vais told me that much. Falest was unwelcome at tbe viildge, yet he tar­ ried outside to transact some business. Perhaps to win over some of the younger Delawares. We shall know what it was all about when he comes. We shall laugh at the wonderment bl* change of plans has occasioned." I left Mm and went wandering about the fort, seeking the Onondaga to tell him that our orendas were very simple, or had been asleep, to allow us to stick our beads Into such an ugly trap. It was a warm day and yet I felt a chill as I glanced about in search of Round Paw. Let us but get through the gate and to the eage of the forest and I would ask no more of fate. Instead of the Indian I came upon the Dlnwold girl. She wa* standing by the water-gate. She bad her hair carefully arranged under her hat. or cut off, I could not tell which. And she would pass for a young man read­ ily enough; a very young man. Yet she had betrayed her sex to Beauvais, and I wondered If de Beaujeu also knew the truth. Far from being surprised at seeing be, she quickly greeted: “I have been waiting for you. mister. I saw you when you come in." “I shall call myself most lucky if you see me go out alive and not a prisoner." I told her. “I have just learned that you came here with one called Beauvois.” “At the last minute Mr. Falest changed his mind. He told me to tel) the truth to Mr. Beauvais, who, he said, was a good man. Mr. Falest said he should be In such a mortal burry to make the fort 1 bad best go on ahead. Mr. Beauvais is a good man. I'm to go to Canada at the first chance. What do you mean about be­ ing lucky if you git out of here alive? Do they guess you're a scout for Brad dockr “For God's sake, huch r 1 cautioned; tor we were near the kitchen and sharp ears might overhear us. “If Beauvais comes back from Sbenango and finds me here, the Indians will burn me.” Her small face went white with horror. “You can pas* through the gate,” she muttered. “Why do you wait? Go I Go now!" “Two things bold the. The Onon­ daga. whom I haven't found—and you.” “Me?” she gasped. "You must leave here and get back to the settlments where you belong. You must stop this thinking of going to Canada. It's a mad scheme. Do you believe that n'l men are honest, ns Beauvais seems to be? You are English and cannot speak French. How do you know how you will he treated in Canada, especially after the French are whipped and any one of the English blood I* pointed out to be hated? How do you know the few French soldiers, once they're driven from this place, can protect you from their own Indians? Why. child, the French themselves will be fortunate If they escape being killed by the Ot­ tawa* and Huron*. You must stop this foolishness and go back with me —If I can find the Indian and ger through the gate." “If you make me go back. I shall always hate you.” she passionately re­ turned; and could Beuujeu have seen her then he would have known she was a woman Before I could speak an expression of great misery passed over her fare and she whispered: “And If anything happens to you I’ll kill myself.” I had no patience with her, nr with her tex.

Late Wednesday evening, Donald Phillips brother Burr, sons of Jud Phillips, and Miss Dorothy Garllnger were coming into town from the south and were on the hill in front of Fordyce Showalter's home. Just in the outskirts of the vil­ lage when they met Elmer Belson. who was driving south. In some manner the cars collided, the Phillips car overturning twice. Donald Phil­ lips received injuries on his leg. the other occupants of the car escaping with only a few slight scratches about the hands and arms. The Belson car lost two front wheels, but the other car. a Ford roadster, was a complete wreck. Donald works in Lansing, and had rented the car from there for the occasion. Saturday night, in addition to the accident at Thornapple lake which is related in another column, there were two smash-ups in this vicinity, which might easily have resulted fatally to the drivers. Roy Haight was driving a Chevrolet west on M-79, and as he started to turn south at Scott's cor­ ners. west of Thomapple lake, he crashed into a Buick driven by Mel­ vin McMurray of Quimby. Both cars were badly wrecked, but the drivers escaped with slight injuries. Herbert Surine of East Woodland was the oth­ er victim. Herb came to Nashville in the evening to do some shopping, and while on the street was stricken with a spell of sickness so he jumped in his Star car and started for home. Just north of the village he lost control of the car and it went out of the road, striking a cement abutment and turn­ ing turtle. Herb suffered some severe contusions and sprains in the wreck, but he was taken to his home in the Hess ambulance, and at last reports was getting along in good shape. FRIENDS Most any decent sort of folk Will help you vwhen you're strapped and broke; If you are facing pain and woe. Most anybody that you know Will treat you pretty white and fair If they’re convinced you’re cn the square; But—get what I’m driving at?— A friend does something more than that A friend doesn’t have to weigh you much To test youiNhonesty and such; A friend knows faults and virtues, too, And takes them as a part of you. He tries to keep you out of trouble. But when you’re in. why that goes double. And all your follies he endures Because he is a friend of yours. A friend is one with whom you sit And do not need to talk a bit; Who needs no chatter to reveal Approximately how you feel. Who. when your secret heart's unfur­ led. Won't rush right out and tell the world. Who's not afraid to step right in And tell you what a boob you’ve been. But whose devotion it won't Jar Howevennuch a fool you are.

Their second game with Hast­ ings, played at the Thornapple lake grounds on the Fourth, resulted In a score cf 11 to 9 In favor of the county-seaters. tying the series. It was a regular swat-fest, in which the Nash­ ville boys held a slight edge. Hastings collecting ten singles and one double off Pennington and Martin, while the locals nicked Michaelis, Hastings' left­ hander. for eight singles and four doubles. Poor fielding was responsible for the defeat, a bunch of bobbles in the eighth Inning letting Hastings chase in a couple of tallies without the semblance of a hit Sunday's* game with Portland was considerable of a farce, and when the dust had cleared away at the end of the fracas the count stood 22 to 13, in favor of Nashville, Bill Martin hurled the first four innings, and at that time Nashville had accumulated such a lead that he was retired in favor of Archie Martin, his young brother. Ar­ chie's control was none too good, but he got away with the Job in fair shape until the ninth inning, when the visi­ tors came to life and pound­ ed in five runs before a man was re­ tired. Pennington was then called to the box and ended the game with three strike-outs. Watkins and Sandborn did the pitching for Portland, but neither seemed to have anything deceptive, and the locals made the best of the opportunity to fatten their batting av­ erages, securing a total of 24 hits. Sur­ ine led the list with a double and four singles out of six times at bat.

First of a series of advertisements In which the Michigan Bell Telephone Company calls attention to the ad­ vantages of Michigan ns a vacation land, appears in this issue of the News. The second is scheduled for publica­ tion a week from today and others will appear during the remainder of July and the first part of August. The series is being published in more than 250 newspapers throughout Mich­ igan. According to the company man­ ager In this area. It Is felt that no part of the continent offers so many ad­ vantages to the tourist and vacationist as does Michigan, with Its excellent highways, myriad lakes and rivers, vast stretches ot forests, hundreds of miles of coast line, unequalled oppor­ tunity for summer sports. Its well equipped camp sites and its hotels, and its wonderful climate. The first announcement is illustrat­ ed with an outline map of the Upper Peninsula, popularly known as Clover­ land, showing the principal cities. Fol­ lowing announcements will carry simi­ lar maps advertising sections of the Lower Peninsula. The :mnouncements also show long distance telephone rates to the principal cities in the section advertised, from each city In which the advertisement is published. This advertising. Mr. McElwain says, is in line with other activity conducted by the Michigan Bell Company design­ ed to create a better knowledge of the state and its cities. During the past year, the telephone company has been s-wring a series of window displays in downtown Detroit, advertising tbe prin­ cipal cities of the state and calling at­ tention to their manufacturing and other advantages. These displays, which have been viewed by thousands of persons daily, have been assembled in cooperation with the local telephone managers and the chambers of com­ merce of the cities benefiting from the publicity.

Never before In 50 years has Ash­ ing for pickerel been as good as it has this year in the Su Clair River, according to George Simpson, a farm­ er and an aident fisherman living near Marine City. "Catching pickerel from boats has been an easy matter during past years," he says, "but this season the ’snakes’ are being hooked by fishermen off the docks and banks.” LAST LIFT OF AMERICAN MAIN TOWER, 383 FEET HIGH �THE LONGEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE IN THE WORLD LINKING DETROIT AND THE CANADIAN BORDER CITIES an Xmouncement To the People of the Commonwealths of Canada and the United States— in Particular to the Citizens of the State of Michigan and the Province of Ontario HE New Ambassador International Bridge across the Detroit River will be open for traffic in mid-summer of 1929. So many people (individuals and corpora­ tions) have asked the question, “when will the new bridge be ready?”—that it has been con­ sidered policy to publish from time to time a summary of the progress being achieved—an abridgment of the bridge. As most of the in­ quiries have come from firms and various en­ terprises planning to use the new bridge in the daily transaction of their business, this data is released July 11, 1928. At the present rate of progress, the Am­ bassador International Bridge will be open to traffic in the mid-summer of 1929. The mild and open winter permitted unexpected progress in constructing the foundations for the steel towers and anchor­ ages. Now that the work below ground is completed it is possible to schedule with con­ fidence the time required for the remain­ ing steps in construction, based on the experiehce with other large suspension bridges recently constructed. — The anchorage for the cables on both sides of the river are made of solid masses of con­ crete equal in height to a twenty-two story building, of which the equivalent of fourteen stories will be below ground and eight above. On the American side the anchorage is lo­ cated at West Jefferson Avenue and 21st T Street in Detroit. On the Canadian side, at London and Huron Line Road in Sandwich. The massive steel tower on the American side is now complete. The Canadian tower will be completed July 20th. • These towers extend to a height of 383 feet above the De­ troit River and may be compared in height with the new Buhl Building. The preparatory work for vzeaving the large suspension cables will start the first part of August, at which time eight temporary cables will be stretched from anchorage to anchorage and over the tops of the steel towers. Foot bridges will be built on these temporary cables and the work of con­ structing the large cables, consisting of stretching over 14,000 single wires from anchorage to anchorage, will be done from the foot bridge cables. All of the property for the project, includ­ ing that required for the approaches and ter­ minals on both sides of the river, has been ac­ quired. t Both the Canadian and American Govern­ ments have approved the general arrange­ ments for the inspection by Customs and Im­ migration Officers. To meet these require­ ments it was necessary to provide an area of about seven acres on the American side and more than eight acres on the Canadian side. On the Detroit side all the land between Howard, Porter, 21st and 22nd Streets was necessarily acquired for this purpose. On the Canadian side a strip one-half block wide, extending along Patricia Road from Wyan­ dotte to Walnut Streets, together with more than the equivalent of a city block area be­ tween Patricia and Huron Church Line Roads, has been acquired in the Town of Sandwich. THE TERMINAL spaces required by the Governments on each side of the River may appear unduly large, but a detailed study of the needs proved the necessity of providing room for Administration Buildings for Bridge Officers, Customs and Immigration Officers, for Warehouses, Excise Buildings and thir­ teen inspection “islands” at both ends of the bridge. Here traffic in twenty-six lanes may be examined simultaneously. . TOLLS—These necessarily can only be definitely established contemporaneo u s I y with the opening of the bridge for public traffic, but it is our pleasure to announce that in no event will single trip tickets for other than commercial vehicles be in excess of fifty cents (50c) including driver and five cents (Sc) for each additional passehger. The maximum rates for basses and com­ mercial vehicles of various weights will be an­ nounced later. Commutation tickets will be sold, and it is contemplated that commutation rates will be substantially lower than the rate to be estab­ lished for single trip tickets. More than fifty years of the white man’s effort to bridge this stream are culminating now in the building of this bridge.

It la one of the most effective means of curtailing thought that has ever been devised. Suppose that in the course of.acon▼ersatlon the name of a brilliant young author bobs up. You don’t like the fellow and you don't want to admit that his works are profound. So you say "He’s immoral” And there's an end of‘the matter. Tbe fact that the man Is immoral pats his works beneath your notice. Suppose somebody else has a scheme for proflt-ahariDg which he thinks could be applied to your business. As­ sume his arguments are sound and he has been able to show you that it would be to y<Jur own Interest to give the plan a trial. But you don't want to worry about it “The plan’s radical,” you reply. And you thenceforth cease thinking about It During the World war it became the fashion to dismiss doctrines or ideas with which we did not agree with such labels as unpatriotic. Bed. pro­ German. un-American, antlrellglous and so on. If our arguments agonist such Ideas were weak the labels were always capable of discrediting them. Such labels have a sinister connota­ tion which, to many minds. Is amply sufficient to bring Into disrepute the object to which they are applied. The label may mean little or nothing. Yet for many unthinking persons it has a vague and terrible significance. How many of us, for Instance, un­ derstand what the label “unpatriotic" means? Even when a label may seem to fit Its object it is totally beside the point. Take the label “immoral" which is such a favorite nowadays. Does the fact that a composer dis­ regards the prevailing customs of his day detract one bit from the beauty of his music? Suppose the label fits the man. What has that got to do with his music? , Be liberal with labels if you don’t want to think. They are at least a means of averting wear and tear on the brain.

Hood up and sonorously replied: “Pontiac, great chief of the Ottawas, your words make Onontlo's heart warm and glad. With the mighty Pontiac to lead our red brothers, the medicine lodge ghosts will tell but one thing— that an ax. half-red and half-French, will spilt tbe English head.

Let the ghosts of an­ cient warriors tell us bow to destroy the English and take for our own use their long wagon? of guns and doth and«food Tell your red brothers that Onontlo will send them a keg of bran­ dy to make their hearts glad." Pontiac turned and stalked from the room, a dramatic figure. Beaujeu smiled grimly and. still staring through the open door, he sold to us: “Messieurs, there speaks one who some day will make great trouble for some one. Whoever holds that man fast to France does France and our king a great sendee. Now while they are putting up their lodge let ue eat and talk.** I had renewed acquaintance with the three officers before entering the room and had been made known to the fourth man. Sieur de SL Therese, a pleasant-mannered fellow. Platters of steaming meat and some good bread were served. Outside the window rose the gut­ tural voices of the Potawatoml wizards as they directed the erection of the mystery lodge. Soon there was added the tierce notes of a war-song as the brandy begun to take effect; and by the light of several tires we could glimpse stark forms dancing madly around a war-post, each dancer paus­ ing to drive his ux into the wood in pantomime of braining a foe. For a background was the heat-lightning and th$ fur-off bellowing of Hinunn tbe Thunder-god. giving buttle to his im­ memorial enemy, the water-serpent Beaujeu watched tbe frenzied war rlors for a moment and sighed: “If I could hold them to that pitch when I lend them to battle. But mes­ sieurs, now thut we buve satisfied out appetites, I will ask Monsieur Beland to tell us ubout the hostility of the woman Allaqulppa toward ue. Then you edn decide If her village at the mouth of the Yougidogeny is n menace to France. Lieutenant Beuuvals al­ ready has told us something, but Mon­ sieur Belund wus fn the village longer than Beauvais and hud a most sig­ nificant experience." So, for the second time since enter­ ing the fort. I recounted the woman sachem's refusal of the French belt and the killing of Pontine's belt-car­ rier. When I bad ceased speaking Sieur de Sl Therese excitedly cried: “It Is time that evil nest was de­ stroyed." Bei-j.Jtu s eyes sparkled. “What does Sieur de Cnrquevllle sayT' he asked. De Curqueville promptly replied: “We nre in extremis without Brad­ dock finding a resting place should his line of march take him to the mouth of the YoughlogetV- The country ahead of his army should be swept clean of English all lee.’’ De la Parade lifted n glass of wine nnd gave: ■ “Death to tbe English Indiana! Death to Allaqnippur After die toast bad been drunk Sieur de. Purleux counseled: "It would be best. I believe, to send the Ottawas. or the OJIbways, to re­ move the village." Beaujeu considered thia suggestion thoughtfully for a few momenta, and then turned to me and Invited: "Let us have Monsieur Beland’s ad­ vice. I told tbem: "It is my belief that at the worst she will only succeed in holding her Indians neutral. Their numbers are few.

I only wish that Monsieur . Beauvais could. Join us and give his views. He is a cool thoughtful mnn. and, like yourself, would speak with­ out prejudice." • It required several rounds of wine to restore us to a proper enthusiasm. I felt a coolness on the part of my two neighbors, although none at the table openly disagreed with Beaujeu's decision. But de la Parade, who had drunk extermination to the village, was vastly more popular than L BeauJeu’s mention of Bennvnls made my back feel chilly, and my gaze wan­ dered frequently toward the open door. And yet when I attempted to decide Just what I should do. did he put in an appearance, my mind re­ fused to work. It was as if my intel­ ligence were paralyzed. I was keenly conscious of dreading his arrival but was Incapable of planning a defense. There was a wild wish tn my heart that the Onondaga might discover the troth and manage in some fashion to Intercept him. This, of course; was, not based on reason. It did set me to ’ thinking about the Onondaga and the Dinwold girt I wondered if I had been observed when walking and talk­ ing with her. and if. should I be ap­ prehended, she would be held to ac­ count My only consolation was that Beaujeu was a gentleman, and that once she disclosed her sex. he would not permit her to be harmed. There remained the dangers of the retreat to Canada. Pontiac never lost an opportunity to- advance himself! Once he saw that the French were whipped. I doubted his loyalty to the Lilies. Looking back to those hectic days in July. 1 am convinced I mis­ judged him. The events of the next few years were to establish his neverqndlng hostility to the English. The dancers had quit the fire and war-post and were now leaping gro­ tesquely by the window, a swift shift­ ing string of distorted and monstrous ly painted faces, and a bewildering flourishing of axes. Some of the axes were painted red the better to ex­ emplify the wlelders’ sanguinary am­ bitions. As the savages pressed closer to the building in passing In review, we saw them only from the neck up. and the effect was that of. detached heads floating and bobbing by. Then there came the sweetest strain of mnslc I ever heard although It was produced by the guttural voice of a most hideously painted creature, who had concealed all suggestions of a hu­ man countenance by painting his face with a series of circles In black, red and white.

Beaujey, too. caught the song, and remarked:*1 . "That’s not a northern voice, nor Shawnee, nor Leni-Lenape. It sounds like a Mingo, and yet it is different.' “I was not giving much heed." I said.. “It sounded like an Iroquois singing bls Wolf song." Next we bad a vk-w of a Putuwu toml who brandished a war-club ot birch.

Note—From the tone of Friend Hay­ den’s letter, It is evident he feels some­ body has an over-abundance of spare time on their hands. The little pranks we perpetrate on our friends in this column each week are printed with the best of motives and with a real spirit of friendliness. We have to rely on the judgment of those who “put us next", as to where a joke begins and where it should stop. We are always glad to have your little ’‘tips’’. But remember, we never print a Joke on anyone un­ less we respect that person, or have a personal liking for them. We LIKE Hayden Nye, that’s why we gave him about fourteen dollars' worth of adver­ tising space last week—absolutely FREE. We go still further—we will vouch for the truthfulness of Hayden's statement when he says he still has the furniture polish. Just ask Hayden to take his hat off the next time you meet him, and you will readily understand why he is keeping that liquid veneer. There? Dead and Didn’t Know IL A feller hears some strange stories occasionally. Some of 'em we believe, and some of 'em we don't. We under­ stand that two stories were told in a ’gathering place for men"—a barber shop or a pool room—the two stories being almost identical as far as the unbelievable facts were concerned. We tell you these stories in justice to Em­ mett Surlne. Emmett feels slightly "hurt" because the first story that was told was swallowed whole, and his story, well there seemed to be a lot of doubt tn evidence on the faces of his hearers. THE FIRST STORY: Once upon a time two noted swordsmen had crossed each other's path and hasty words ensued. One of the swordsmen made the remark to the other: “If we ever meet again, I will kill you." Later they met again. The swordsman who had made the remark, unsheathed his sword, made a quick pass at his oppent. then carefully wiped his sword and put It back in the case.

IRVINQ KINQ SETTING EGGS ON SUNDAY T IS a rather general belief all over the country that if you aet a hen on Sunday t.’.e result will be that most of the egg^jrttl hatch out roost­ ers. In one aectfbwhey declare that all the eggs will hatch roosters. The reason for this piece of ben-yard superstition—the hen-yard seems to be a place especially haunted by superstitions—Is that in our nomen­ clature we still dedicate the first day of the week to the sun god—it is still the sun's day—and the cock, from most ancient times, was a sun bird. Primitive man fonnd than out from the way in which the coclt heralded and saluted the sun's dally rising and so the cock became associated with the sun In all the old mythologies. It Is true that this bird was a favorite sacrifice to Aesculapius, the god of medicine, but that was because Aes­ culapius was the son of Apollo, who represented the llght-and-llfe giving power of the sun £s well as Its deadly power and was often identified with the sun god Hellos. The cock Is the sun’s bird, and what more natural then than If you set a hen on Sunday the eggs will hatch Into roosters! This superstition Is only one of the many relics of sun-worship which still bang about the ben-yard. I How It Started By Jean Newton “BOTH SIDES OF SHIELD” HEN people are arguing or dis­ cussing a question they are ad­ W monished by the peacemaker to "look at both sides of the shield,** meaning “get the other fellow’s point of view." The expression Is frequently met in the Inspirational type of literature whose object is to promote under­ standing and harmony among fellow men. It Is obrlqus, of course, that in “both rides of the> shield*’ the refer­ ence is no modern one. The saying has an old-time flavor, and it Is in an old story that it bad its origin. The story is one of two knights who, coming from opposite directions, met In front ot a shield, one side of which was gold and the other nllver. One knight mentioned “this shield of gold." the other replied. “You mean this shield of silver." until a lively argument developed, with the knights becoming more and more unfriendly. At this point a third knight appeared, to whom the dispute was referred. He was wise enough to "look on both rides of the shield." and the quarrel­ ing knights shook hands!

A weak voice, talking In the language of the Delaware, called out: “What do my children want? Why do my children call mo back to this lodge? 1 urn the first of your grand­ fathers. You have called me over a long path." There followed the shrill voice of a woman, but in a tongue I did not understand. Next the wizard's voice, husky and labored, entered the dia­ logue, and In Delaware he asked: ”0 Grandfather of all the red peo­ ple. tell us of the IngeUehman. Is he strong? Will be fight strong? Will your children be struck tn the head?" "The answer co that can easily spoil all my plans!” gritted Beaujeu. The medicine-lodge racked and swayed as if buffeted by a mighty wind. Discordant noises arose—evil forces striving to prevent the Voice from answering. There sounded the burking of dogs and the scream of the panther and the piping wall of a child. A fearful visage showed for an Instant at the small opening and was succeeded by another. Then with a single booming note from the medi­ cine-drum silence returned to the lodge. After a few moments the weak voice of the first of all grandfathers spoke* saying: “Little Wolf Is a mighty wizard. He drives away the black spirit that wants to stop my mouth. I am the tiret of your grandfathers. I tell you this—the floor of the forest will be red with the blood of (lie Ingellsh. The Manito Is angry to see his red children losing their villages and land. Let the arrow find the false Wolf and then go Into battle without fear." Silence again, and Beaujeu wiped the sweat from his brows and mut tered: • “Norn de Dleu! What deviltry Is he up to? It’s some of Pontiac's work. He should have told me first Getting a fight out of the Indians is condi tional on their killing the ‘false wolf. Monsieur Beland. 1 fear you are right. Little Wolf has' a rival. If so he must kill him, or else the flag of France must be lowered.” He became silent as from the lodge came the voice of Little Wolf. It sounded very weak and we bad to strain our ears to catch his words Panting for breath he called ou^: “The Voice Is very fur away. 1 can hear It, my brothers cannot It rests hut will come very soon— Walt The tittle white dog ir barking.

Another pause and then we heard the yelping and ki-yllng of a puppy Then came the voice, this time sound Ing much loader, it commanded: “Have the warriors who danced about the war-pQst puss around the j lodge four times, and let each ask ' himself If he is a true man.” “Ahl Now ll develops. Soon there will be a killing," hissed St. Therese. There followed more shaking and swaying of the lodge. Pontiac's voice mug out. calling on the dancers to fall tn line and begin circling the lodge and. for men with straight tongues to fear nothing. Painted faces in.profile began pawing the window. Each savage kept bls face averted from the lodge and each seemed to step In greater haste when ahrenst of the small opening.

The savages quickened their pace uu til they were moving almost on a run. The barking of the little white dog came back, followed by ■ deep voice chanting: "Ha-hwn-weh F 1 held my breath and waited for the climax, whatever it might be. Beau­ jeu whispered: “I think It is our friend, who stands at the door talking with the young Englishman with the French heart. The young man is timid. He wilt not come In unless strongly urged. Ah!

Beauvais straightened and removed his bund from thv girl’s shoulder and started to turn about and eater the room. The girl seized his arm and frantically essayed to hold him back. He was motionless for a moment, as If amused at her action; then shook off her grasp and stepped backward through the door. The Onondaga's terrible war-whoop jerked my gaze to the window. The front of the lodge bulged far out. and the Frenchmen, as well as I, exclaimed In astonishment us a fluttering mass of something that looked to be neither beast nor human, emerged from the structure and dashed through the fire­ light and came flying ' through the window. A startled cry at the door caused my head to swing in that direction. Beauvais, now glaring at the table, was pointing a finger and yelling: “Seise the Englishman! Braddock's spy Several tilings were happening simultaneously which I can narrate only os separate Incidents. My compalons sat stupefied as Beauvais called out, for even as he was sounding the alarm the muffled figure from the lodge rushed toward hint and with a swing, of a blanket extinguished the candles on that side of the room., "The English spy I" hoarsely called Beauvais, and then went down with a DAILY KEZ1LTY Nutley Oleo ESTABLISHED 1859 |“WHERE ECONOMY RULES Kirk’t Flaks.

But none at the table knew wherein lay the treachery, as was proved by the failure of the company to lay hands on me.

"Take the man Beland alive I" roared a voice; and I knew that Beau vias at last had connected my Identity up with my French name and that Beau­ jeu now understood alt "Why this way?" I asked the Onon­ daga as we reached the stockade on the river front. “Stand on my shoulders, white brother, and go over," he directed. "There’s the witch-woman—" “She’s on the other side. Shall we join her, or face about and die like chiefs?” I scrambled to Lis shoulders and went to the top of the timbers. I reached down a hand, but scorning all assistance Round Paw swarmed over the barrier. The two of us dropped to the ground within a few feet of the river.

His warning was timely for I could bear the plop, plop of heavy bodies dropping over the’ stockade. There came an explosion of mad rage that made my heart wince. The Onondaga proudly In­ formed us: “They have found Little Wolf in the lodge. 1 crept under the wail und shot him with his own arrow. He made a choking noise. The Wolf man thought some of those outside would know the truth. There wns Pontiac. He talks with ghosts and they tell him secrets. It was he who told Lit­ tle Wolf to kill me.

It will be a short war," I told her, little real­ izing my failability as a prophet •‘We must leave the river before the first light," spoke up the Onondaga. ‘Tontine will lead the chase. He is a very great man. He knows we took to water. He will send men along both shores to find where our trail leaves the river. He will throw many men between us and Braddock.

Jones had temperament, which is necessary to all high achievement. But before he could become a mas­ ter of the game, he had to take the temper out of his temperament, and this, after long self-discipline, he has succeeded in doing. Sometimes qualities which are the real elements of success become ob­ stacles to success. The Bible, written many years ago, tells us that he who ruleth his own spirit Is greater than, be who taketh a city. But in all probability the men who took cities in those days ruled their spirits first, so they combined two sorts of greatness. Then men who do great things In the world are usually nervous. Imagi­ native men. who have high ideals of the way things should be done, and who are Impatient with themselves for not attaining those Ideals. That is why they get into rages when they make mistakes, and because of those rages continue to make more and worse mistakes. G Warranty Deeds. Leon H. Barnum et al to Charlotte V.

My dash to the creek had either taken them by surprise, or else tb.ey Itad withdrawn a bit to hold a pow­ wow. I believe they had withdrawn with a few men standing guard; for tlie firing did not become general until I was half-way back. At that distance from the cabin I heard the girl’s rifle go off. Running gently so as not to spill any of the precious water, I was pro­ nouncing my race won when a tall savage emerged from the woods on my left and approached at right an­ gles. He fired an arrow while moving at full speed. and then dropped his bow to draw his ax. The girl ap­ peared in the doorway with my long rifle and leaned the heavy barrel against tlie end of a log. As the whip-like crack rang out tbe Indian leaped high and dime down in a heap. Still controlling my stride, I was within two rods of the door, where the girl stood leaning against the rifle, when a savage turned the cor­ ner of the cabin and darted between us. I set down one kettle and pulled iny ax. To my surprise the Indian whirled about and Jumped toward the girt. With a scream she sprang back and he followed, realizing it was ex cellent strategy to kill my companion and bar the door against me, leaving bis companions to kill me leisurely. With a bowl of fear and warning. I dropped the remaining kettle and leaped after him. As my foot touched the threshold, tbe cabin was filled with a deafening explosion and much smoke, and the savage war falling limply into my arms.

"What’s on your mind, little wom­ an?" I asked without turning from the loophole. "If they was on the roof the firearrers would slide off. They're bard and smooth." Her wit gave me hope, and I asked: “How to make them sr.y? We haven't time to peg. them on.

Very few of them were ever locked, and thosr tiiat were could be easily opened with any bureau draw key. I don't know why it was. but it seemed as if the tallest patrons were given the boxes near the floor, while the chart people had boxes near the ceiling. Tlie dust in the call ■boxes was blown out with every change of administration—the democrats didn’t get a chance to blow very often. As a democrat. I predict the boxes will vacuum—cleaned next year with a want to see moil boxes being unlocked with corkscrews, or the navy consisting of schooners of beer. But' when John Wanamaker, that prince of advertisers took over the management of the postoffice business, there was a decided change in affairs —people commenced using the postof­ fice for advertising purposes. If any­ body lost anything, a notice to that ef­ fect was immediately hung up in the postoffice. If anything was fouhd. ft was hung up in the postoffice. Of course, if any stray livestock was pick­ ed up. it wasn’t led into the building. Still, Ed Decker last his horse one day and found it hitched outside the post­ office—right where he had tied it the night before and then forgot all about it. Some front teeth belonging to one of our citizens were missing, and they too were found 1 nfront of the postofflee—there’s where the fight took place. It beat all, the variety of notices— from cracked crrs at five cents a doz­ en to huckleberry-picking privileges for two cents a quart. Tlie fire depart­ ment had a blackboard upon which were chalked various announcements. Of course, they didn’t announce the day and date a fire was going to be pulled off. still rumor had it that there were fifes that could have been dated had certain parties been inclined to have taken the postoffice public into their confidence. People got to using tills blackboard for amusement pur­ poses—os when Rev. Gamble imported the evangelists. Waggle and Sly. I don’t suppose Waggle could have told deuce from trump;., and yet we read on the board: ’’Waggle Gambles on the Sly.” Then when Walt Powers bought an interest tn Stringham’s grocery store we read: “Powers. Ketcham and Stringham.” These chalk-talks at times were real personal, and lots funnier than the jokes an oil company chalks on its blackboards throughout the country. One day the fellow who had charge of the blackboard got up­ on his ear to look in his call box and then proceeded to call folks down for using the fire department bulletin board. Rubbing everything off. he wrote in big letters, “HANDS OFF.” Then one of our live-wire business men. who was a good advertiser, further emphasized this warning by writing underneath: "and feet on Garland Stoves and Ranges."

This new­ fangled style of voting wasn't the brain-child of any of our Americans, and I suppose that's why they had to adopt it to give it a legal standing. Give me those good old days when ev­ ery political party had its own private ballot, even if that was about the ex­ tent of the secrecy of voting. Except on presidential years, the ballot was about the size of a dollar bill, and was quoted a little more than that when elections were close. Electioneering knew no “dead-lines"—you could lead a man right up to the ballot-box with his ticket in his hand and watch it "go in" Ballots were never thrown out on ac­ count of some "distinguishing" mark; on the contrary some of our rock-rib­ bed party men were wont to write their names on the back of their ballots as did some of the rock and rye fellows —or no more rock and rye. The only Booth we knew was Edwin; the only Ward was Montgomery. You didn't split your .ticket with a cross for the candidates came across with gummed stickers put up in little booklets like those postage stamp booklets. The fel­ lows who were the poorest "runners" had the printer run him off the most stickers. We kids used to collect as many different kinds of stickers as we could grab and the grading was good as these booklet? were plentiful in pub­ lic places. Electors were not obliged to go to the poles to “fix up" their tick­ et. Some were fixed in blacksmith shops, barber shops, and some, un­ doubtedly. would have been fixed in gin shops had not election day automatic­ ally closed the saloons. These stickers were put to uses oth­ er than voting. I have seen an anti­ amusement candidate’s stickers "up­ holding an Uncle Tom Cabin poster in Al Kasey’s barber shop. Many a win­ dow has had its cracked pane fixed up with these political name plasters. Once at a Bunday school picnic at Thornapple lake I observed some tumblers of crabapple jelly labeled with the name of one of our village presidents. Of course these were noth­ ing but distinguishing marts to enable the woman to identify her own glass­ ware. But I am exceedingly glad that the womenfolks have passed this crab­ apple stage of voting—the men crabbed the suffrage privilege too long. And say. wouldn’t it be funny if the women throughout the Land of the Free should all get together next November and la­ bel Al Smith—"applesauce.” It didn’t take long to count the bal­ lots. By ten in the evening the suc­ cessful ones 'were passing around the cigars: the losers were handing out their alibi. There were always a crowd around the officials counting the bai­ lout.

Rood were in the village Tues­ day forenoon conferring with some of the local business men in regard to bringing a demonstration train to Nashville. The train will cover this branch of the M. C. in the early part of October, and arrangements were made to have it stop in the village for a half day. The project is planned for the benefit and Instruction of rural folks, and will cover several lines of farm mechanics, rural electrification, rural water systems, septic tanks, per­ manent construction with concrete, etc. In addition to working models, the train will be equipped with loud­ speakers so that all may hear the var­ ious explanatory talks given in connec­ tion with the exhibits. From an ed­ ucational standpoint it will be well worth every farmer’s time to visit this train: there is no question but what each one can gamer some ideas that will work to his advantage. Watch for further announcement in regard to this demonstration. VERMONTVILLE WINS SUNDAY BALL GAME. In the Sunday game at Riverside park, the Vermontville nine caught the locals somewhat off their stride and exhibited a better brand of ball, both in the field and at bat, and the visit­ ors walked off with a 6 to 3 victory. The battery for Vermontville was Davis and Hager, and Davis was going in first class shape, letting the Nashville bat­ ters down with only five singles, which produced one run in the second inning and two in the fourth. Pennington started on the mound for the Inde­ pendents and was nicked for seven safeties in the first seven innings. He was accorded ragged support by his teammates, however, and the visitors made the most of their opportunities, taking a substantial lead right at the start. Two hits and two errors netted them three runs in the first, two er­ rors and a triple brought in a couple more Ln the third, and for good measuse they clouted out a triple and a sin­ gle for another tally in the eighth. Bill Martin pitched the last two in­ nings. This was the first game between the two teams.

The various com­ mittees have made final arrangements for one of the biggest and best mid­ summer celebrations ever staged in the old home-town. For full particulars and complete program see large display advt. on another page of this issue. Something of Interest will be going on from early forenoon until late at night, both days. Excellent music will be furnished both days by Bush's band of Hastings. The Sports committee have arranged a large program of con­ tests and fun-making events, such as .swimming and diving contests, boxing matches, ett.. and one of the main features which this committee will stage is the big "Pet Parade" which is to take place at 10:30 Thursday fore­ noon. Pet parades have been held in several towns and cities this summer, and in every Instance they have proven to be one of the most interesting events of the day. This contest is open to any; boy or girl under fourteen years of age.* As a suggestion to our young people we will mention here that any. animal or bird that can be led by a boy or girl of the age mentioned, is eligible to enter the contest and com­ pete for one of the several prizes. In some of the Pet Parades in other towns “pet" mud turtles (if there is such an animal) have been decorated and "led" through the street. The young people are urged to get their active and in­ ventive young minds to working and be ready with their pet when the par­ ade starts. Fifteen cash prizes are of­ fered as follows: First, $3.00; second. $1.50; three $1.00 prizes and ten 50c prizes. You are almost sure to win a prize. . Following the band concert at one O’clock the free vaudeville per­ formances will take place on the big stage. This year the entertainment committee have selected several good free acts, which will be found listed in the large display advt. on another page of this issue. At the the time the News goes to press we are unable to say what the added free acts to the program will be. but at least one if not two or three others will be contracted for. Two good ball games have been scheduled, one for each afternoon. Thursday Vermontville will play the local Independents: Friday afternoon Hastings vs. Nash-- Luc. Admission to the ball game will be 25c. An old-time balloon ascension and parachute drop will take place at the ball grounds each afternoon, following the ball games. The evening's entertainment each night will open with a band concert, followed by a lengthy free vaudeville program # There will be dancing each'evening at'the Club auditorium, with excellent music furnished by Bush's six-piece orchestra. Friday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock our guests will have the pleasure of “meet­ ing" the governor of Michigan, the Hon. Fred W. Green, who will deliver an address from the stage. Friday evening, following the band concert, and before the free vaudeville acts start, the audience will have the pleasure of listening to a short talk by Mr. William A. Comstock of Detroit. One of the main features of the twoday celebration will be the big display of fireworks Friday evening at ten o'clock, which will be staged at the ball grounds, where there will be am­ ple room for all to see the display. Special features of the display will be five set pieces: The Magical Star. Houdini’s Work of Wonder. Emblem of Good Luck. Sumptuous Falls of Niagara, and the United States Flag. These will be interspersed with Sky­ rockets. Bombshells.. Arcnlc Displays, etc., and plenty of them. Hurrah, and Phil Dahlhouser has been true to his promise—there will be a large Ferris wheel and Merry-GoRound for the youngsters and older youngsters. Nashville never docs things by hal­ ves—there is a real good time in store for you. The haying and har­ vesting will be well out ot the way. and it will be possible for all to come and enjoy these two big days. There will be plenty of good safe parking places for those driving cars. There is also plenty of good shade in our parks for those who desire to bring basket dinners. Don't forget the dates, Thursday and Friday. August 9 and 10. Nashville friends of Rev. Walter B. Reed, who was pastor of the local Baptist church from 1908 to 1911. re­ cently learned of his death on Memor­ ial Day at Corona, California, where he had been pastor of the First Baptist church for several years.

Nowadays the member charged with the secretarial duty sends out the postcards the women of the household get busy with the picnic dinner and on the morning of the appointed day the various scattered families hitch up their old flivvers and hop to It. The Family Reunion is more popular than the Sunday school picnic. Hundreds are invited and hun-' dreds attend. Pride in a family name is usually back of these gatherings of the clans. As our American civilization takes on age men think more of their forefath­ ers and the part they played In the building of the great structure we call America. Sometimes the descendants and rel­ atives by marriage go back to the an­ cestral home assembling at the call of the secretary for a day of jollification each summer la the open. And what a celebration It is—with fried chicken and sugar-cured ham as the cen­ ter of the dinner and more other var­ ieties of food than are ever anywhere else ecept on the table of a Barryvllle farm family in harvest time or on a holiday.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK By Edson K. Waite. Shawnee, Okla. That public utilities do for a city what a city cannot do for Itself. Because the service given by electric is vital to the success ot the business and social life of every community; utilities are the anchor for a city. The basis upon which they offer their ser­ vices Is that of mutual helpfulness. Because the officers and employes of privately owned utilities adopt every means that their energetic minds can conceive to assure high service at the lowest cost. Because the service given by public utilltls Is fundamental in making a community a safe place in which to live and work and invest. Because public utilities are a fixed part of every community. Their in­ vestments are large; they pay taxes; their employes are home citizens. Because they are big machines that must function every hour of every day the year around. Because utilities are always willing to help the community they serve in attaining success In the March of De­ velopment for they fully realize that in order to build better business for themselves they must help to build bet­ ter business for the communities they ■ Yes I am talking to you!

BUICK INTRODUCES NEW SILVER ANNIVERSARY MODEL Buick swings Into its 25th year of operation, this week, with the lntroduction of the Silver Anniversary Buick, its new car for 1929. Tremend­ ous advances in beauty, style, and con­ tort as well as in every item affecting performance, combine to make the Silver Aniversary Buick an automobile new and totally different from any­ thing the public has known. ’ Taking as a nucleus Buick's famous slx-clyinder valve-in-head engine, tor­ que tube drive, sealed chassis, canti­ lever springs, double drop frame and mechanical four-wheel brakes. Buick engineers have refined and Improved these units, and created around them a motor car of radiant beauty and dashing style, a car which is easy to operate and comfortable to ride in. and finally, one which is said to out-per­ form. under all conditions, not only Its own predecessors but any other car within hundreds of dollars of its price. The car's appearance factor is still further enhanced by smaller wheels and larger-section tires, which make the new Buick seem lower, though Its road clearance is actually unchanged. Large new hubs, new easy-on radiator cap, and re-location of the Buick trademark, in a new and distinctive monogram, on the radiator honey­ combing instead of the shell, lends ad­ ditional touches ot beauty. Interior refinements making for beauty as well as for riding and driving ease, are numerous. Not only the steering column, but the entire front seat of dosed models, is now adjustable to the requirements of any driver. A small hand knob just under the edge of the seat cushion accomplishes ad­ justment. without inconveniencing driver or passenger. The seat locks automatically in any of the seven po­ sitions within its 3 1-2 inch range. Electric windshield wiper with tandem blades which clear the entire width of the windshield are standard on all closed models. Body hardware, in­ cluding door handles of theft-resisting design, is entirely new. A thief may force a door handle, but this will neith­ er open the door nor break the lock mechanism so that the owner cgnnot operate it with his key. The vibrationless perfoimance for which Buick's engine is famous has been guarded Jealously in preparation of the Silver Anniversary Buick. The crankshaft is heavier and so are bear­ ings. pistons, and pins, while greater attention than ever before has been paid to their balancing as a single working unit. Buick lays special stress on this balancing of engine parts, be­ cause long study has proved that this, rather than more cylinders or bearings, is the true answer to the problem of operating smoothness. Despite the tremendous advance in performance built into the Silver An­ niversary Buick, its gasoline consump­ tions remains virtually unchanged, and It opperates efficiently on any fuel. The amazingly greater value which these advances, in conjunction with the entirely new body, unite to offer. Is obtained entirely by refinement of Bufcfcs' already proven superiorities, without sacrifice of a single desirable quality. Eighteen models make up the Silver Anniversary Buick line. ROBT. PROUTY COMES TO FORE WITH MUSIC. The following article is taken from the Burlington (Wisconsin) Journal. This young lad Robert Prouty. Is a nephew of C. H. Brown.

Tbe geclogical survey says that an anticline is an upfold in rocks, and such a fold in deposits that are buried beneath formations of more recent geologic uge that were not subjected to die folding cannot be detected at the surface.. Such upfoids, called “anticlines,*' are regarded as favor­ able to the accumulation of oil. and It Is for this reason that oil prospec­ tors endeavor to locate such struc­ tures.

IRVINQ KINQ THE PLANTAIN HAT pestiferous weed, the plantain, which people have to dig out of their lawns and dooryerds is anything but a romantic or mystic plant in ap­ pearance and yet It figures prominent­ ly in myth and superstition. In this country it appears in folk-medldne as a cure for bee stings and something to "draw out poison” from any wound T Ttie Indians call It white man’s foot for with the white man the plantain came to tins country as it has traveled* In his company to all parts of the earth. A native of tem­ perate Asia and Europe tbe weed has wandered always with the white num and never appears where he is not or has not been. This can be accounted for, of course, without calling upon the suiH?rnatural. The Insidious seed may be accidentally carried abroad just as the,jimsonweed came to this country in a load of discharged bal­ last from British shins. But to the unreflecting there Is something rather uncanny in the way in which the plantain follows the white man's foot­ steps. The name Itself Is from “plnnta.” meaning the sole of the foot In this country and England the plantain is sometimes called way­ bread and the fact that it so persist­ ently haunts the tracks of man is ac­ counted for by an old legend of Ger­ man origin to the effect that it wa* formerly a maiden bo, after long twaiting In vain by the wayside for her lover, was changed Into this weed. And in this form she has ever since haunted the footsteps of men looking tor the recreant one. In this ancient legend we see again the Idea of primi­ tive man of a metamorphosis by which animal and vegetable forms were changed the one Into the other. To those who regarded mankind as descended from the oak or the ash it seemed quite natural that a disconso­ late maiden should be changed Into plantain. RESOURCES.

"That'll be better than pegs. Hl git up on the roof and throw them over the ridge-pole as fast as you pass 'em up to me." The scheme was* feasible. It was simple. It would require but a few minutes to saddle tbe bouse with hides. There would remain u strip on ench ride, but three I could reach from the ground with separate hides.

Then she unbarred the door. ■ Before showing ourselves we re­ connoitered from ail sides of the cabin. There was not much danger of a musket bull hitting her slim body; and arrows, to hit the roof, must trav­ el so high as to give us warning. I gathered up several sets ot the dou­ ble skins and threw ojien the door. The savages must have t>een puzzled by our appearance. None showed along the woods, nor were any lead or arrows tired at is.

She took time to fix them properly and then dropjied lightly into my arms. Some fifteen savages were breaking cover at different points. I picked out tlie leader of the nearest band. He commenced leaping from side to side, but I was patient and shot him off his feet The moment I fired, she bad taken the empty rille and had pressed the short French one Into my hands. I fired it and missed. We entered the cabin and dropped the bar. The Indians advanced swiftly, know­ ing our rifles were empty. Could they close in before we could reload, they planned to thrust their guns through the loopholes and stop our fire while they battered down tbe door. But they had not counted on the trade­ muskets. We emptied three rapidly. One man went down with a smashed leg. Two of bls companions carried him into the woods. Tbe others streaked back us rapidly as they had advanced. Thus far uU tbe honors were ours. I made the girl drink some water and posted her nt the back of tbe cabin while I covered the other three sides. The Indians, however, bad no stouiich far another assault tn force, and the forest became quiet. I told the glrj sbs was to remglo Inridr while mew- f stepped out and covered the lower part of the two aides. I popped out from the dour and pick­ ing up a hide slid it Into place, re­ maining until I had throe skins In place. 1 would have persisted 'longer had rite not run out to upbraid me scolding like a vixen. Then began the phase of warfare I had been dreading, the sending of fire-arrows. None hit the roof; and while they were prepar Ing more Are I rushed forth und fin­ ished one ride of the root The girl scolded me as if I had been a wayward child. Her gravity and seriousness became her prettily. The little lecture was interrupted by an­ other flight of burning arrows. This ' time they bad the range and we heard two strike on the root Before I knew what she wns doing she bad stepped out to observe how her scheme was working. I followed and picked her up and carried her Inside. "Anyway, mister, there ain’t any arrers on tbe roof," she told me as 1 stood her on her feet "Points couldn’t git any hold on them skins. Just slithered off." Between volley's was tbe golden time for work. I begged her to keep under cover and went to finish patch­ ing tho south side. This time the foe was awaiting my appearance and de­ livered a crashing valley the moment I cleared tbe door. Some of the lead whistled unwholesomely close. A voice shouted loudly and ten Indians, select­ ed for their fleetness of foot, came racing across the opening. It wns grimly significant that they were armed with axes only. They were de­ termined to bring the fight to clow quarters. I entered the cabin us the. girl began firing from tbe ri*ar loop•hole. “Here they come from all direc­ tions! They mean It thia time!" she cried. The attack was jiersisted In until one brave was hacking tbe door with his ux. It is a peculiar fact that with them at such close quarters none of their number was mortally wounded. Doubtless we were nervous and a bit confused by the attack being pressed on three sides while some of them actually dlmbed on to the roof and dislodged some of tho skins. I have no clear recollection of details. I know we darted from side to side and discharged the two rilles and the mus­ kets. Tbe rwni was thick with smoke and I recall my fear lest those on the roof should make an opening and Jump dawn upon us. It was not until tliey began to fall buck that I discovered the girl had been more calm thua L for she bad re­ fused to discharge her plstoL I peered from a loophole and saw them running for the woods and not u weapon In the cabin was loaded. One of tlielr number hud been bit in the foot and was limping along with two men helping him. Probably be bad been hit while climbing onto the roof, his foot coming In range with one ot the loopboieH us a musket was dis­ charged. I loaded rapidly to get one of the three men making off together, but tl»e mocxet I opened the door a warning was shouted from tho leader In tbe woods und the wounded man wns dropped in a little hollow. His assistants raced off in different di­ rections. Tho hollow containing the wounded man was too slight effec­ tually to protect him. and opening the door sufficiently to accommodate my rifle-barrel I would have stirred hhr up bad not the girl thrust her hand over the flint and at tho same time pulled me backward. I opened my mouth to rebuke her, but she clapped a hand over my mouth and pointed toward the room. Then pulling my ear down to her Ups she whispered: "They didn’t all quit the roof, mister. I heard a little noise up there." I nodded and gently closed the door and barm! It and cocked my ear. Siu* nudged ine as die man on tho roof made a faint scraping sound. This was a danger I had never count etl upon. To get nt the fellow neccssltated my leaving the cabin. We begun talking to allay any suspicions on his part, am! the girl fluid: "He’s moving along to git directly ovtT the door. We must fool aim.” Bidding iter to move about at the rear of die cabin and to keep on talking. 1 stepped to the door and in Ute notches cut In the logs, so that one might climb to a crevice under tbe eaves and scrutinise the opening before opening the door,’ gently placed my feet and pulled myself up until my eyes were at the crevice. My head was close to the roof and ns the girl chattered along I lieurd the telltale sound of die savage working his way down to tbe eaves and directly over the door. As .1 wus about to descend, I was further rewarded, for a moccqslned foot dropped dowfi across my narrow range of virion. The Indian was sit ting with one foot banging down from the eaves and waiting for me to leave tbe cabin, when be would drop down upon me. The roof was formed of sapUag-aize poles ccrvered with large sections of thick bark, which in turn was held In place by poles running lengthwise at regular Intervals. I drew my knife and gentty Inserted it between two of the poles, then de­ sisted. as at the moat I would only prick the fellow and put him on hlguard. Regaining tlw floor I moved a rough table, which Frnxler used for dis­ playing his trade-goods, dose to the chimney, and gave the girt an Iron prod and directed her to stand on the table and pretend to be making an opening through the roof. She beei toted and asked: "You’re going out F* "HeTJ be watching the chimney.” Tlifitp may be two of 'em."

Then taking the short rifle and loading It I tiptoed to the door and noiselessly removed the bar and waited The girl began Jabbing the iron rod between two of the poles and calling down to me to mount the table and help her. She made much noise and yet 1 believed I caught a faint sound from over the door. Lifting the door so it would not sag and scrape the floor, I worked it open wide enough for me to pass out. “The rod's through the roofr cried the girL At the same time a shout rose from the forest I darted through the nar­ row opening and whirled about and raised the rille. One savage was there and had been on the point of crawling to the ridge-pole to investi­ gate the several inches of Iron rod showing through the bark when the yell from the woods had warned him to be on Ills guard. He must have connected the outcry of his friends with the sudden appearance of the rod, for he was on all fours and storing over hte shoulder to where his friends were In hiding. When he saw me the rifle was at my shoulder. He made a convulsive eflurt to burl bls ax and roll off the roof, but be fipnd before be could throw It. From the Indians' point of view there should have been but one thing for them to’do—return ut once with their guns and endeavor to shoot us through the loopholes. Luckily for us, they were not inclined to risk any more of their mem I could hear their leader shouting to them, but if he were exhorting them to charge, they bad no heart for it.

I listened and heard 1L It was thunder beyond any doubt. I opened the door a crack and scanned the heavens. There was no storm in right. “It's up tlie Monongahela, I told her. “It’s so far off I fear we won’t get even the skirt of IL" We needed much of it; not only to drench the cabin but to oool the air Inside. With the door closed and the stout shutter in place over the one small opening that served as a win,dow it wus blood-hot in the cabin. The place was so Insufferable from smoke und powder fumes and the | beat that I risked a chance shot from । the forest by removing the shutter [ and opening the door. The thunder rolled across the sky again and the girl sighed.:* “Lei’s wish it's a smart one and will come tills way." . I made hef drink some water and with a pewter dleh bathed iter wrists and slim neck. She complained tiiat I wus wasting it. and in the next mo­ ment was od the point ot weeping as she said no one had been kind to her, except her crippled uncle, since her mother’s deatti^ 1 brushed back her hair and bathed her forehead and washed the smoke and grime from tier face and tried to be very' gentle with her. I wus beginning to realize what a slip of a thing sbe was to be par­ ticipating in such grim tragedies. I also appreciated her sturdy spirit. Suddenly she drew away from me and rearranged lor hair and diffident­ ly said: “You’ve l»een naurter kind to mu, mister. I wish I was a witch, like folks in Great cove say. I’d change you Into a hous, or a bird, and you'd git clear of all thia." "Sit lujre, juet Inride tbe door, while I stand watch. Fve near Lad a chance to wait on soeb a brave little woman before."

If I had a pair of shoes like what some, of them settlement women most likely wear, I'd die fighting to keep ’em." 'Hf we get out of this, you riiall have tbe gayest pair of shoes to be found in Alexandria," I promised, and I thought of Josephine and Iter love of luxury and wondered how she would have endured the ordeal of being cor­ nered In a trader's cabin at tbe mouth of Turtle creek. "I ain't used , to have folks give me things," she gravely void me. “We’ll have to think about that." Then shy­ ly: "Is that where you want me to go? To Alexandria, u real big settle­ ment?" In truth, I hud given no thought as to Just where riie should go did we escape. Yet how could I give her a pair of shoes In Alexandria if she were doc ,there to receive them? "If I go back there, yes. I have no home there now. Like yourself, I am bomeleea." This pleased her and she snuggled against my knee and murmured: "I’m thinking it’s mighty good that you're like that—no home. You can build a home anywhere. All you need is an ax and rome trees. If you'd hail a home, you'd never have come poking round Great cove. Lor’s love! Whut would have happened to me If you hadn’t come along? At Will’s creek, too.

School History Compiled by Mr*. FERN CROSS = = UUllllllUlIllUilllllllllllllllllllilllUir As this Jb Home-coming week and we expect to meet many of our Old Grads and Friends, I want to use these two poems on Friends and Friendship. Old Friends. Make new friends, but keep the old. Those are sliver, these are gold; New-made friendships, like new wine. Age will mellow and refine. Friendships that have stood the test— Time and change—are surely best; Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendship never knows decay. For ’mid old friends, tried and true. Once more we our youth renew. But old friends, alas, may die, Neu friends must their place supply. Cherish friendship in your breast, New is good, but old is best; Make new friends, but keep the old. Those are sliver, these are gold. —Anonymous. Friendship. I love you not only for what you are. but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. I love you for putting your hand Into mine, and for passing over all the foolish and frivolous and weak things that you rant help dimly seeing in my heart, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful, radiant belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find. I love you for ignor­ ing the possibilities of the fool and weakling in me. and for laying firm hold on the possibilities of the good in me. I love you for closing your ears to the discords In me. and for adding to the music in me by worshipful lis­ tening. I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life not a tavtrn. but a temple, and of the words of my everyday life not a reproach but a song. I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me hap­ py. You have done It without a word, without a sign; you have done It, just by being yourself. Perhaps that Is what being a friend means after all. Class of 1917. Pliny McLaughlin.

The fourteenth annual Ionia Free Pair will be a worthy successor to the thirteen fairs held on the 56 acre fair grounds there. -It will be more colos­ sal than ever before with more ex­ hibits, a better midway, greater free acts, faster horses and autos on the speedway and finer fireworks than ev­ er before presented in western Michi­ gan. It was said at the close of the ex­ position last year that it was impossible to stage a finer fair. This year the Ionia Free Fair association has proven beyond doubt that even the 1927 fair can be Improved upon and those who attend this year will agree. It will be unquestionably more brilliant than wjm the thirteenth annual fair and there will tee many more and better exhibits. Governor's day this year will be more than a repetition of the great Gover­ nor's Days of the past. No time or ex­ pense has been spared In planning for this Important section of the program and. while each day of the six great days will be replete with a galaxy of special events, nothing in any county fair anywhere can transcend the splen­ dor of the day when the Gover­ nor of the State of Michigan who also was founder of the Ionia Free Fair, will be honored. Officials of the various departments. 13 in all. have each reported record breaking entries. Enlargements of ex­ hibit buildings have assured the super­ intendents that they will have ample space in which to arrange their dis­ plays and still have plenty of room for the thousands of spectators to move about the exhibits and view them in all their splendor.

Nashville Prepared to Entertain Throng of Visitors Thursday and Friday. Present indications are that Nash­ ville will entertain large crowds of peo­ ple Thursday and Friday, weather con­ ditions being favorable. The majority of farmers have their harvesting well out of the way. At the time The News goes to press (Wednesday afternoon) the streets are commencing to fill with concession stands, etc. The large Ferris wheel and Merry-Go-Round will arrive early Thursday morning and will be ready to operate by the time the throng arrives. Take Phil Dahihouser's word for it—there'll be plenty of everything in the nature of amuse­ ment.

The Herrick boys are well known to many of our readers, having been residents of Nash- Reunion. Do not forget the big reunion of the graduates and all the students in high school up to 1900 inclusive. The first class to graduate was in 1887. This takes in 13 years. If you were in high school during this time and have not received an invitation, bring your bas­ kets and come, as guests of the classes of '97 and *98. We find It impossible to send invitations to all. Dinner and roll call at one o’clock. Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Wotring and Mr. and Mrs. 8. E. Powers of Nashville.

Mr. and Mrs. Will Dean and Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Hafner. A fine program has been prepared by Mrs. Floyd Everts and Mrs. Fred Wotring. TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL Yes; the "annual vacation” craze is at its zenith; the period of relaxation and the relinquishing of home com­ forts is at flood tide. Who started this fad anyway? Folks generally took a week off sometime during the year, but never stressed it as their an­ nual vacation. There was no general exodus in small towns during the hec­ tic summer months. Schools didn’t close until the first of July, and. by the time the Fourth was over, everybody staved at home to enjoy new potatoes and green peas from their own garden. Then berry-canning and Jelly-making kept the womenfolks busy until peach­ es. pears and plums claimed their at­ tention. But with the advent of the can-opener and resort literature; hay fever and excursion rates, more and more people complained that the at­ mosphere in the old home town was getting decidedly stuffy. A day off at Thomnnple lake had become kicklesE; a ride through the pond lilies in Cole Bros.’ wood-burning steamer had no more thrills. But then, a beautiful body of water is generally without honor in the immediately locality.

When war was declared, he was stationed on 'he Pacific coast, and his ship, the U. 3. S. Yorktown, was ordered east, by­ way of the Panama canal. A. base was established at Halifax. Nova Scoua. and the ship served on convoy and pa­ trol duty. After the armistice he re­ turned to the Pacific coast, but in a few months was again called back east and assigned to the U. S. S.

Following a brief train­ ing period in Boston, he went overseas with the 1st Division, In the first boat­ load of American troops, which landed in England. His transport, the R. 8. M. Andania. sailed from Halifax, without convoy, and spent 19 days on the trip, maneuvering about to evade the sub­ marines. On the return trip, the An­ dania was less fortunate, and fell a vic­ tim to the subs. Leo saw plenty of ac­ tive service during the war, attaining the rating of first-class gunner, and at one time was in the front line trench­ es for a period of nine months without relief. He was wounded in the St. Mlhiel drive, losing a piece of bone from his skull when struck by a fragment of shell, but after three days spent at a dressing station he was again back in service with his unit. At the close of the war he was on the front, and saw the German envoy when they were Jet through the linen to sign the armistice Carl has returned to his home at San Diego, and Leo is planning on joining him there this fall. WILLIAMS REUNION The second reunion of the Williams family was held Sunday. August 5Lh. 1928, at Grand Ledge. Michigan. The day was cloudy and there was some rain but relatives gathered from Lowell, Detroit, Chicago, Jackson. Bat­ tle Creek. Lansing. Ionia, Grand Rap­ ids. Charlotte. Kalanaizoo, Sturgis, Nashville and Vermontville. The long tables were loaded with good things to eat with plenty of ice cream for the rest of the day. After dinner as they were all seated at the tables the election of officers and other business took place, resulting in George Hawkins of Lansing for pres­ ident. and Leia M. Strait for Sec. and Treas.; the program committee will be appointed later by the president and secretary. After this took place we went into the pavilion where Mrs. Fem Cross of Sturgis had prepared and gave us a fine program. Slide trom­ bone solos and duets were given by Cleo Fox of Kalamazoo and Roy Wells of Battle Creek. Mr. Fox is the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Cross of Sturgis, and instructor at the conservatory of music in Kalamazoo. Mr. Wells of Battle Creek travels and sells musical instruments for the Martin company, and is a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. John Riley of Charlotte. Enough could not be said of the excellent music they gave us. Mrs. Fox accompanied them on the piano. Mrs. Fox gave several readings which we enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Fox give readings and music in many of our large cities part of the time on the Lyceum Course. A small son of Frank Purchls, Jr,, gave a fine piano solo. Mr. Wells. Sr., played the harmonica, accompanied by his son on the ukelele. Afte the program a ball game was nlayed by the relatives, it being real amusing to the onlookers. Thus ended a day that will long be remembered by all who were there. The next reunion will be held at Potrer’s park. Lansing, a year from the '•.ame day. The North Maple Grove Evangelical Sunday school and the Wilcox Sunday school will hold a union picnic at Clear lake, Thursday. August 14. Everybody come and have a good time. Pot luck dinner.

It la composed of wealthier peasants, those who not only work on farms, but have progressed to the point that they hire other peasants to work for them. Their ■tatus is hard to determine, since they are part property owners and part tollers. Occupation and use are titles of ownership. The peasant Is not free to develop into an absentee landlord. Old Childish Pastime /• French Term The word "Sault" Is French and Is translated "Falls of Sl Mary." from “Sault Ste. Marie." “Sault” is the same word that appears In “somer­ sault," meaning "leap." The word should by right be pronounced “So," but custom has given it the pronuncia­ tion “Boo." “Mumblcty-peg" la the correct name for the children's game; also "mumble-the-peg." The latter 1* probably the older designation for the game, and is descriptive of the penalty of the loser, who must pull a peg from the ground with his teeth.

L. KANE Wall Paper Paint We Deliver AN OPEN LETTER I received a letter this week from a former Nashville old-timer who wants to know if I have changed my "brand'’ of politics. He says he distinctly re­ members my father placing me a-top a sugar barrel and coaxing me to hur­ rah for Greely and Brown. Being only two years old at that time, I can’t bring to my mind this particular de­ monstration of party fealty. As a democrat, who has voted the ticket straight since Grover Cleveland fished and vetoed, I would like to hand my­ self a little alibi. Honestly, I don’t believe I have changed my brand of politics, but there is a rare possibility that the democrat party lias changed its brand of presi­ dential timber. At least it doesn’t appear to be dry-kilned like the good old hickory of former years. Well do I remember when cock-eyed Ben But­ ler ran on "Greenbacks." and now cock­ sure Al imagines he can roll us dem­ ocrats over and run on our stomachs. Actually, thought the party had fixed up a pretty good platform at Houston, but it appears they are not going to use it. They seem perfectly satisfied to muzzle the Donkey with Al's derby hat. and run the mule up and down the "Sidewalks of New York.” Then too. it gets my patriotism to think of a president of these United States imagining he can re-chrlsten the Ship of State by breaking the eighteenth, or any other amendment, across the bow of the Boat. When the man. who is to move into the White House next year, raises his right hand and swears to uphold the constitution of his country, let not his fingers be mossed. Why such dry Aarons as Newton D. Baker and Josephus Daniels are holding up the wet arms of Al so that this political Moses can lead thirsty humanity out of the wilderness of bootleggers, hi-jackers and hip­ pocket flasketeers into the promised wet land of personal liberty, is beyond me. Vote for a wet president and a dry congressman is their clarion cry. Why not make it a "clear” issue, in­ stead of changing the pool of politics to “muddy waters." What's the sense of swallowing Al and then washing him down with a water-wagon repre­ sentative? Still, if Al should win out. he would only need one cabinet member—the secretary of our interior. But I sup­ pose he would exercise his privilege and name the whole ten of them—Ten Knights in a Bar-room. SOUTH VERMONTVILLE By Mn.

WALKER YOUR MENTAL SUNSHINE THOUSAND things unpleaslng may hover over your horizon and frown down upon you at every step, but If you will keep your mental sun­ shiny-ever bright and radiant, you will? march along the way in gladness. Aiid-..,gs you go you will scatter the bright beams all about you, cheer­ ing the despondent lighting their life and encouraging them to emu­ late your example. A A bright face Is good to behold, but far better is a bright mentality, which shuns the darkness and stands forth in the sunlight with a smile on Its lips like a friendly beacon above sparling waters. By keeping 'your mental sunshine unsullied, by holding out to the weary and discouraged a joyous hand, yon are making the world happier and contributing happiness to yourself, adding all the while to your own strength and usefulness. Your company li sought by the old and the young, by the proud and the bumble, who will soon learn to adore you because of the kindly light that shines from your eyes and the mu­ sical intonation that softens your voice. And when this mental sunshine Is stimulated by faith, it becomes a mar­ velous power for good. It awakens dormant capabilities in others and stirs them to loftier thoughts and en­ deavors. It Is like the sun of the heavens which Imparts the beautiful colors to flowers, the cooling greens to the trees and the sheen of silver to the strew ms, scattering gladness everywhere. Contrast the morbid, moody, glum and dour man or woman with the men or woman who is In the heydey and full flush of mental sunshine, and you will understand why one la a failure and the other a success. We live not upon food alone, but to a large extent upon the sunshine that comes from another, which often shapes our course as It uncovers our eyes and keeps our feet from slip­ ping. • • Without this mental sunshine within us. It were better, perhaps, to have no ambition or aspiration at all. For strive as we may. If we have not this divine spark within our soul, we will grope and stumble In the dark and eventually lose our way. The greatest love, the greatest use­ fulness and the most exemplary faith­ fulness are L und In hearts nllght with hopefulness, good-will and righteous­ ness—the essence of cheerfulness. <© by McClor* Nrw«pap«r SjudlciU.) --- o---------------- : SUPERSTITIOUS = z- - • SUE - • .

This is an Immensely interesting world, and it is a privilege to know as much about it us the average mind can know. One of the worst of all mental vices is indifference.

"PERIPATETIC** HOME OWNERSHIP NE does not have to be erudite to know the word “peripatetic" as related to a school of philosophy, that of the disciples of Aristotle, the Greekphllosopher. In everyday speech we find the w- .-d used in the sense of traveling, moving, wardering. Its modern use in this sense, however, is usually satir­ ical .or Jocular. ' It may seem a far cry from the philosophy of Aristotle to a modern Itinerant, yet It is precisely in that connection that we have the interest­ ing story of the word’s origin. “Peripatetic” is of Greek derivation and means literally “to walk." It was from the circumstance that the fol­ lower* of Aristotle, meeting in the "garden" of the Lyceum, were known to walk about during study that they came to be called “Peripatetic*" and their philosophy “peripatetic.” Popularized by these ancient sclwlars, the term has survived In common Fpeecii where today it is used more or less lightly In its original sense of moving from place to place. N 1920 forty-five people out of every hundred owned their own homes. It is estimated that tn 1930 one-half of the entire population of our own country will own their homes. Two factors account for this condition.? One is the increase in the wage scale, the other is the spirit of thrift. Sta­ tistics show that savings accounts never reached so high a figure as at the present time. The American Bank­ ers’ association in a recent report said: "Equal distribution of the na­ tion’s savings would give each person in the United States 1220.” These savings were increased In 1927 over 1020 by more than a blilion dollar*. Much of the credit for this healthy state of affairs Is attributable to the banks and loan companies who in ways encourage the habit of thrift. A dollar at 6 per cent interest, com­ pounded annually, will double Itself In about sixteen years. Saved money has real earning power. It works while you sleep. The satisfaction and pleasure derived from saving is even greater than that derived from spend­ ing money. There Is an important difference be­ tween necqaalties and luxuries. This distinction is often forgotten. Luxu­ ries are the things we want but can do without and they demand about three time* as much money as do the necessities. Saving does not mean that the necessities must be discarded but it does nw.-an that less money be spent upon mere luxuries. The price which economy demands is courage and sacrifice, but the re­ ward is worth ttie cost More real satisfaction is 'obtained from saving money than from spending it; espe­ cially when with saved funds we pur­ chase an acre and call it HOME.

Exult­ ing cries resounded from the woods as the bidden watchers witnessed how ineffective had been my bullet It seemed to be a very long time that I waited, and finally noted how dark the Interior of the cabin was growing. Had I not known the posi­ tion of tire sun, I would have said it was later than the twilight hour. “I can’t hardly see you, mirter," said the girl uneasily. "You look all humped over like a bear.” There came a flare of light through the loopholes that lit up her pale face vividly, and then a tremendous crash and the cabin seemed to rock under the vibrations. Afraid it was too good to be true, I stepped to the small win­ dow. set high under the eaves, and looked up to the heavens. I could have shouted aloud In joy as I beheld the mighty wall of black and slate towering almost to the zenith with its lead-colored draperies dragging on the horizon. While we had talked and watched for danger the stortn had swept down the river and was ui>on us. The open­ ing grew dusky and It would have been an easy task for the ravages to Itave crawled close in the uncertain light Again the Thunder-god hurled a spear at the water-serpent and the noise of the contest transcended all earth sounds. A strange moaning ran through the forest-crown and lofty tops bowed and swayed although as yet there was no air moving in the opening. "I'm thinking It's going to rain," remarked the girl in a faint voice. ’Thank God, yes! Stay back there to see they try no tricks,” I cau­ tioned as she came toward me. The lightning ripped across the face of the clouds, and the girl gave a lit­ tle squeal. I went to her to learn what was the matter. “Not Injuns," she whispered. “I’m .thinking I’m scared of these sort of It seemed impossible that one who had shown such absolute control of nerves could be frightened by a flash of lightning and the rumble of thun­ der. And yet she was clinging to me like a child, striving to conquer her­ self, yet keeping her face preseed against my fringed sleeve so as not to see die glare of the bolts. I en­ deavored to soothe away her fears by telling her tire storm was our best friend; that it would make the cabin fire-proof, that It would compel the Indians to keep their guns covered nnd their bow-strings protected from the rain. But as I talked I could feel her wince convulsively each time the god renewed the ancient strife. With a deafening roar tb$ rain the rain, I told the gfri:. "We’ll go. The rain will wash out our' trail. Find something to wrap around the rifles." She found some oiled skins and we wrapped them about our rifles. 1 opened the door. The water was falling In torrents and the wind was blowing with great velocity. Closing the door, we were plastered against the walls for a moment by the force of the wind. I sought to shelter her by holding her close to my side; and leaning against the storm, we made for the woods. We could not talk and we scarcely could see because of the rain Alling our faces. We both realized that such u downpour could not last long. Our progress was slow, but finally I was waist-deep in some cherry bushes. We fought through these nnd came to drip ping trees and entered among them. Tiie uproar of_ the storm suddenly lessened now that we were walking on ancient forest mold and were shel­ tered from the wind. Rivulets of wa­ ter ran under our feet nnd there was no need to hide our trull until we were two miles in the woods. We were as wet us two river-rats. It became strangely quiet in the drip­ ping woods and we no longer shouted - to make ourselves heard. How. the storm was raging outside we could only guess. I feared it was abating. "They’ll lose some time, mister, in making sure we're not In the cabin,” the girl pbllo»x»phlcally ’ remarked. "And it.'a gltting so dark they can’t find our tracks even if we do leave some." “We must find a place under a rock where we can make a Are and you can dry out.’’ She laughed nt me, and her voice was most musical because it was natural. . "Hard work to drown a witch," she said. “I’ve fared hard before this and didn’t mind 1L" I remembered those days when the House of the Open Hand entertained and when beauty must be gently wrapped in water-proof coverings and sent home in coaches. Thia wild young creature at my side had done a man's work and more. She was made up of the outdoors. It grew very dark, and without stars to guide us we would have wandered blindly If not for u little run that we stumbled upon and which I remem­ bered flowed parallel to Turtle creek. We took to the water, knee-deep be­ cause of the rain, and worked our way upstream by clutching at the over­ hanging boughs. We Anally left the stream where a windfall had smoth­ ered it. By the sense of touch alone I found a spot clear of brurii and un­ dergrowth and informed my companion we must wait for daylight before pro­ ceeding. I could find no dry fuel, even bad I dared to build a fire. "We have water, but no fire nor food,” I told her. “You’re wrong, mister, about food. I fetched this along," she answered; and her hands found mine with a small package wrapped in deerskin. It was some of Frazier's smoked meat which she had had the fore­ thought to bring along. It was tough, but it was food, and we cirewed it vigorously and felt the better for hav­ ing eaten IL "Lean against me." I commanded. "It*ll be dreary waiting." “Not ro dreary as when we was in the cabin, waiting," she replied. And her head rested against my shoulder and very soon I rejoiced to find she was asleep. When she was entirely oblivious to our discomforts, I shifted her into my lap, and thus we passed the night: she sleeping the sleep of utter exhume, tion and 1 afraid to move lest I dis­ turb her. Near morning 1 dozed off and was aroused by her hand pressing lightly on my shoulder. I came to my feet and rubbed my legs and arms to drive out tire kinks and cramps. She whispered for me to make no noise, and I noted she had removed the cov­ erings from the guns. "What is it?" I murmured, a terri­ ble rage rweeplng over me as I glazed about to discover the relentless foe. She shook her head and said: “I thought 1 heard something mov­ ing toward us." Footsteps would full softly on the wet ground, and, after listening without hearing anything, I told her: “Some animal got the scent of us and turned tail." Her small hand gripped roy arm for silence. Men were coming. I heard a voice say something in the Delaware tongue. She pulled her Highland pis­ tol from her biouse and noiselessly re­ moved its wrapping. Then her hand found mine and gave it a convulsive squeeze, and her soft voice was saytog: • “Mister, you've been powerful good to me. We’ve made a good fight for IL It won’t be awful hard this way.

Sudden­ ly they burst Into view: two Indians and a white man. One of the Indians was carrying a fresh scalp fastened to the end of a short rod. I reached back and snatched the pistol from the girl's hand and cried out: "If that be Christopher Gist, we are* friends." The three vanished as if by magic. After a few moments the white man replied: "I am Gist Who are you? Speak sharp. My Indians ore nervous.** “Black Brood, returning from a scout to Duquesne. I have a young friend with me.’’ Id Delaware I added, “Tell your friends we ore your friends, and that there is a large band of Pontiac's men chasing us." CHAPTER IX The Fatal Errand This meeting with Gist and his two Indians was most pleasing to us, al­ though the Delawares did not care enough for our company to slacken their pace. They ranged ahead while Gist traveled with us. He gave us much news. On July third the Indians had refused to go on a scout, but on the following day two had been in­ duced to accompany him. The three nf them had advanced to within half a mile of the fort and had been de­ terred from approaching closer be­ cause of the excitement occasioned by the escape of the girl, the Onondaga and myself. They did not know what bad happened, but with so much yell­ ing and howling and running into the woods the Delaware? had taken fright and declared the entire red force was starting to attack the array. Two In­ dians had righted Gist and bad chased him for some distance. The Dela­ wares surprised and scalped the Frenchman the Din wold girl bad attempted to follow Turtle creek to Its head, where they had expected to find the army, but had been turned back by a large band of savages com­ ing down the creek. They bad taken refuge In a windfall and had remained In hiding through the violent storm. This delay permitted the girl and me to get In advance of them. In scout­ ing to the neighborhood of the fort they had found the fords open and without any signs of an ambuscade being prepared. Nor had they discov­ ered any trace of the enemy's savages being outside the immediate vicinity of the fort until the night of our es­ cape. When Gist set out from the army camp, Braddock was about to march to Tblcketty run, a small branch of Sewickley creek.

We were very glad to hear from Miss Armstrong, and while talking with some of her close friends we learn that her life has been a valuable one. She is a splendid young lady, and so kind to her mother. They live together at 137 S.

Miss Armstrong’s father was pastor of the Evangelical church In Nashville at the time of her graduation in 1904. Reunion at Thornapple Lake. Sunday. August 12. was an ideal day for the reunion of the classes of 1897­ 98. with their guests, the teachers and students of N. H. S. from the first class of 1887 to 1900 inclusive. The tables were spread under the large trees on the Lake House grounds. Around 178 partook of a bountiful picnic dinner, being treated tj ice cream and cake by the two classes. Alton J. Hager acted as toastmaster, and after dinner speeches were made by Dr. and Mrs. Swift of Middleville. Mrs. Will Hullinger of Royal Oak. Bert Wotrlng and Von Furalss of Nashvilk. Mr. and Mrs. Al. Rasey of Ann Arbor, and George A. Truman of Jackson. who were guests at the hotel, were invited to join the party for the afternoon, and made some clever remarks. During the business part of the meeting, it was voted to make this an organization and the same officers were re-elected: Al­ ton J. Hager, president; Mrs. Bert Wotring, vice president; Mrs. Elmer Cro&s, secretary and treasurer. The presi­ dent. Mr. Hager, being the head of the Board of Commerce of Lansing, was very anxious to invite the new organi­ zation to meet in his home city, and the invitation was quickly accepted, so on the second Sunday of August. 1929. the reunion will be held on the M.

Good Weather and Fine Attractions Combine to Make Enjoyable Occasion, and Streets Are Thronged with Visitors Both Thursday and Friday. Nashville's Harvest Festival -and home-coming celebration this year was apparently a grand success. With the exception of a light shower Friday eve­ ning, the weather conditions were al­ most ideal—perhaps just a little too warm. A large number of people were ;n attendance Thursday afternoon and evening, but the attendance Friday, especially during the evening, was a record breaker. We honestly do not believe Nashville ever entertained a larger or more orderly crowd of people, and everybody seemed to have a good time. Many of Nashville’s former resi­ dents came back to help the old home town celebrate. Many of these out-of­ town guests are mentioned elsewhere in this issue. The free attractions this year, were not all that the entertain­ ment committee had anticipated, yet they were good and won hearty ap­ plause from our visitors. The various committees plan for a bigger and bet­ ter time next year. The program on Thursday morning was opened by a band concert by Bush's band of Hastings. Mr. Bush and the members of his band are de­ serving of the many fine compliments given them for their splendid music. This band furnished the music both days of the festival. Following the band concert. at ten o’clock, the Pet Parade took place. This proved to be one of our best fea­ tures. It would take too much time and space to describe all the "pets” that were entered in the contest for the various prizes. There were dogs ga­ lore. large dogs and small dogs, bash­ ful and timid dogs, and some that did­ n’t care a whoop and seemed to enjoy the fun; there were highly decorated cats, one lamb in fancy trimmings, three or four ponies, chickens, birds in cages, and one duck, so slow on Its feet evidently that it rode proudly in a ba­ by carriage, mudturtles, frogs and gosh knows what, etc., etc. First prize of $3.00 was given to Nelson Martens, with his Collie dog hitched to a cart in which Nelson was the sole occupant and the teamster, and was hauled down the street: second prize, $150. went to Anna May Ginsburg, with a very small black dog. some one of the Mexican breeds, we believe; third money. $1.00, went to Hugh McNItt and his little pet lamb, the kind that ust to follow ’’Mary’’ around once upon a time. Each of the other little pet-paraders received 50c each for their trouble, there being thirty-five in this class alone. The pa­ rade was led by Bush’s band. Bet a pet parade next year would be a hum­ mer. What? The crowd then assembled near the big platform to witness the flour-blow­ ing contest, indulged in by an even dozen enthusiastic boys under 12 years of age. A dime was placed in a pie tin. then first covered with baking syrup (just to keep the dime from get­ ting lost, you know) and then both the dime and the syrup covered about an inch deep with some of Otto Lass’ Home Pride flour. Some home-made ■pie” for those youngsters to sample. We claim the prize money should have been given to the mothers of the boys who had to take a hand in the grand clean-up afterwards. The boys sure had the time of their young Ilves eating flour and syrup before they could pick the coveted dime up in their teeth. Baldy Tieche won first prize, with young Potter a close second. Next on the program was the boxing match for boys under 12. The gloves were Just a wee bit too large for most of the youngsters, but that seemed to be to their advantage—they just could­ n't miss hitting each other If they wanted to. Everything short of hay­ makers was in evidence. Winners of the best match were Halcrow < famous light-weight champion of Chicago) and Baldy Tieche of Ward Quick's ward, the prize being $3.00; second best match. Boise and Potter. $2.00; third.

Green. We are sure that those who had the pleasure of, hearing him werd well pleased with his message. Following Mr. Pulver’s talk, boxing matches for boys under 18 were pull­ ed off. Perhaps no event pleased more of our guests than these boxing match­ es. However there were so many as­ pirants for pugilistic honors that it was necessary to continue the bouts later in the evening. The winners of the best match in the afternoon were John Everts and Mr. Gettleman, both of Charlotte, who split first and second money. $7.50; second best match went to Mr. Eddy of Morgan and Lloyd Cushing of Bellevue. $4.50 split. Joe Hummel and Voyle Varney also put on a nip and tuck entertainment. From all appearances everybody enjoyed tlie friendly contests, and we claim the boys were entitled to their money. In the evening, the boxing matches were continued, and the bouts were opened by two young men from Hastings. Mr. Baldwin and Mr. SchHlman. These two boys were evenly matched in weight and skill with the mitts, and afforded royal entertainment for the spectators. They were awarded $750 by the judges. Winners of the second best match in the evening boxing were Derrill Housler and Dick Tieche, two local lads; other boxers were Penfold and Norris, and Chase and Campbell, the latter two boys both from Hastings. If you witnessed the boxing matches, per­ haps you may know who was who. we don’t—they were all good. Preceding the opening of the free vaudeville performance, the throng in front of the stage had the pleasure of "getting acquainted” with Mr. William A. Comstock of Detroit, democratic candidate for the nomination for gov­ ernor of Michigan at the coming pri­ maries. Mr. Comstock proved to be a very interesting talker, and his mes­ sage was listened to with rapt atten­ tion by all within the reach of his voice. In the main he espoused the cause of Hon. Al Smith, the demo­ cratic choice for President of the Unit­ ed States. In his message he touched upon many vital subjects pertaining to past, present and future affairs of our own state as well as national affairs. He made plain his stand on the ques­ tion of prohibition, dwelling on its im­ portance, and the best means of handl­ ing the delicate situations that arise from the issue, such as enforcement of the prohibition laws as well as men­ tioning the fact that many changes would be necessary before prohibition would ever be a complete success or more nearly so. After the conclusion of the free vaudeville acta the crowds Journeyed to the ball diamond to witness the dis­ play of fireworks. Regarding the fire­ works display, perhaps an explanation is due those who were not aware of the fact that during the late afternoon a lively shower for a few minutes dam­ aged the set pieces to such an extent that they were practically of no ac­ count. However, we believe that the large majority of our guests took this fact Into consideration, and that they were well pleased with the display as It was staged, regardless of the fact that these special features in the dis­ played had to be eliminated. Even many of the smaller pieces took a lot of coaxing before they would fire. This is one of those unavoidable misfor­ tunes which none of the committee could prevent. As soon as it started to rain, members in charge of the display as well as others, tried to get the dis­ play under cover. As we have already stated, we do not believe that Nashville has ever cater­ ed to a larger crowd of people than were present Friday evening We trust everybody had a good time, and the association Invites you one and all to come again next year.

OPTIMISM Optimism in business means kindness instead of kicks; consideration instead of cusses. It means the realization by every man and woman, boy and girl, engaged in business that the work of each is some kind or measure of ser­ vice; that business is not a bargain but an opportunity. Optimism means a comprehension of the knowedge that we really must work if we want to live: that we must work well if we want to live well.—Geo. E. Whitehouse.

If we all try to live up to national and state lawa we will have more respect for our gov­ ernment and our country. I believe the present prohibition laws could be vastly Improved, which is a matter for the federal congress, not for the state legisla­ ture. I believe the greatest present danger to this republic Is the lack of enforcement of the laws we now have, which is breeding a con­ tempt for law and order. ’ .« I believe a person convicted of driving an automobile while under the Influence of liquor should be fined not lees than 1100 and should be deprived of his driving license for not less than a year, and that for a second conviction should be forever deprived of the right to drive a car. I believe-county and state officers of the law should know that ev­ ery driver has a license. I have driven a car for many years, but have never yet been asked to show my driver’s license. Have you? Many people without drivers’ license* are persistently driving cars, in open violation of law. and are never questioned as to a license. I am a firm believer In the prompt and efficient enforcement of all the traffic laws and the liquor laws, as well as all other laws. I am not and never have been a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I am not and never have been a Catholic. I was bom and raised and still am a Protestant. At the same time, I can not believe that any man should be hanged or drawn and quartered, just because he hap­ pens to bold to a religious creed different from my own. I believe I am broad-minded and fair' enough to be able to represent ALL of the people of Barry county, fairly, honestly and without prejudice. If you should choose me to represent you in the state legislature I pledge you that I shall support snd work for every measure and bill that I consider to be to the beet interests of my district and the state at large, and that I shall vigorously oppose any bill or measure that I believe to be detrimental to the best Interests of my district and tlie state. I have owned and published the Nashville News since 1888. The people of my village have three times in succession honored me by electing me president of the village of Nashville, and several terms as a member of the board of trustees. I was postmaster of Nashville for three terms. I am a member of the Masonic order, the Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows and the Elks. I have lived in Barry county since 1862 and expect to spend the remainder of my life as a citizen of Barry county. . ... I do not feel that the people of Barry county owe me any public office, or are under any obligation to support me for representative unless they feel that I would represent them properly and to their satisfaction I am so situated that I can serve as your representative, if you nominate and elect me, without financial disaster to myself, even though the salary for the two year term is but $800.00, and I have sufficient financial means so that I will not need to accept any gratuities or financial favors from any corporation or organization. If I should go to the legislature as your representative I shall go unpledged to any clique or clan, and without obligation of any kind except to the people of my own county. I am sorry that press of other duties prevents my making a per­ sonal campaign, not for your votes, but in order that I might know more of you personally. If you feel that I am the man of your choice for representative and decide to support me for the nomination at the primaries on September 4, I assure you of my sincere and hearty appreciation. Very sincerely yours, Len W. Feighner. REGISTRATION NOTICE For General Primary ElecUoa Taesday, September 4. A. D. IMS.

S In every city and at every crossroad of tbe world, this process of determin­ ing worth Is going on day and night. In the courts of kings, in the draw­ ing rooms of the rich, beneath the roof­ tree* of the poor and on the curb* of dismal alleys, the scale Is brought forth by one who flings upon it a soul to be weighed. Everybody .that Is doing something out of the ordinary is doomed to a place on the balance. Nobody escapes, not even the weighers themselves. It is a custom of nations ns well ns of Individuals. Perchance you have Juet removed from tbe scale your next door neigh­ bor. whose moral avoirdupois you found wanting.

How It Started By Jean Newton Anniversary Buick! OiXKXXXXXXXXKXXXXKXXXXXXXXJ THE SILVER ANNIVERSARY “HIS NIBS” uLJ 18 NIBS" Is unmitigated slang *•* for “himself"—usually In more or less sarcastic vein with the Impli­ cation “the great man himself." It is traced back to the old Eng­ lish won! "neb’’ for face which came from the Anglo Saxon •uebb", orig­ inally the beak of a bird or tortoise and later extended, in a somewhat figurative sense, to signify the face or person. With the slang psychol­ ogy in mind It is easily comprehen­ sible how the contemptuous minded should have made this “His nibs"! An early recorded use of the term, though in a gentler vein than its popular urage today, is found. in the following excerpt from the old Chi­ cago Herald: "When the President’s carriage ar­ rives In front of the church. Albert Hawkins on the box, wearing a big bearskin cape ns black aa his face and driving the two big lumbering ‘seal browns’, there Is gathered about the doors of the sanctuary a crowd of two or three hundred awaiting the arrival of the gentleman whom Tim Campbell of New York Immortalized himself by speaking of as hi* nibs."

General Braddock ret apart from the others, and we were not allowed to approach him. He ap­ peared ro me to be dispirited over the condition and sluggishness of the army, and disgruntled with several of his officers. How much the last con­ clusion was due to my observation, and how much to the report Cromlt had brought me fitter Beauvais es­ caped from the road-builders* camp I cannot rey. Undoubtedly Cromit's talk Influenced my decision, as I saw him there within seventy-two hours of bls bloody death. Of one thing I was positive, and 1 hold to that opinion today: General Braddock was convinced that what­ ever he won must be achieved by his personal efforts. I did talk with Mr. Shirley, the commander's secretary, who said he would make a verbal re­ port of what 1 had learned while in Duquesne. Whether he ever did sub­ mit tbe information I brought, I can­ not ray, but I believe that he did be­ cause of bls fear that the campaign was being mismanaged. I can easily Imagine Braddock listening to my im­ portant information and giving It only a passing consideration, or else Ignor­ ing it entirely. That night the army camped at Bush creek, where Scnrouady once had a village. We were now within three easy marches of Duquesne, even though tbe army moved sluggishly; and I could not perceive any reason why we should not attain our objective. After all, I told Girt and Cromlt, sickness and death was ever the price paid when a large body of men, more or less stran­ gers to their environment, pass through n virgin country. I took it for granted that on every level battlefield of Eu­ rope sideness stalked every army. Cromlt had not much to say be­ cause of tbe blns furnished by his dream. Gist spoke guardedly and raid that while aotoe phases of the cam­ paign were not to his liking still we ought to take the fort now we were committed to the Turtle creek course. While we were talking Sir John St. Clair nnd several officers came along surf St. Clair called out to us*. “You men must know this country. You will come along with ua to re­ connoiter." We fell in behind them and were soon descending the steep bank that U> a characteristic of the country's streams. Nor was the opposite bank any more inviting. St Clair studied the bank thought­ fully for a minute and then said to his officers: “Tills is very bad. Tbe army has lost heart because of rough travel. If tbe country beyond is as bod as this It will about finish any ej’irit that's left." , "It will be Impossible to take the artillery and wagons any farther than tills bank. Sir John, unless we spend much time preparing both banks,” said one of the engineers. , "That Is very plain," muttered St Clair. "And that’s the devil of It” "If you can get your guns and wagons across, I can soon take you to ; a ridge that lends to Duquesne," spoke , up Gist. "Once you are ou the ridge, you won't have much trouble; and | you’ll find the country open and not fitted for ambuscades, or surprise at­ tacks." As he was serving as guide to Gen­ eral Braddock and was well known In colonial affairs, his words were lis­ tened to. St Clair suggested he try to find a more favorable crossing. He told them there was not much choice as the banks continued much the same, but^he did lead them to where the ap­ proach to the creek was less difficult, find pointed out a thinly timbered ele­ vation as being the ridge. The chief engineering problem was to cross the creek and ascend tbe op­ posite bank. One young lieutenant said if he could have tbe use of a hundred soldiers, be could ease the wagons and guns down one slope and haul them up the other uy means of the long cables carried by the army. Another, who had charge of the axmen, guaranteed readily to make run ways of logs and thereby greatly ex­ wagon-train. Gist called on me to repeat what I already had told Mr. Shirley. I staled strike straight for Duquesne ft could not be attacked with any degree of success even if the Indians could be induced to attack at all I quoted Captain Beaujeu to that effect As they did not cut’me short I added, for good measure, that there would be great danger at both crossings of the Monongahela and that it would be practically impossible to avoid an am­ buscade, that Beaujeu already bad planned to plant an umburti along tbe river road. Sir John seemed to be strongly Im­ pressed by my statements, much more so than he would have been hod I made a similar talk at Alexandria, or Will's creek. When we returned to the camp, we fully believed the mor­ row's march would remove us from all fear of a masked attack. The con­ versation among the officers all pointed to this wise maneuver, and our spirits greatly improved. After Sir John had talked with Braddock, Girt wus sent for. Cromlt and I left Bound Paw holding a pow­ wow with the few Delawares while we went to find the Dinwold girL Wagoner Morgan was one of the first teamsters to arrive, despite the sad condition of bls horses. He in­ formed us that our little friend was sharing a kettle with two soldiers' wives. We soon located her. She had made her sex known to the women but etill wore her masculine garb, which was very sensible of her. I took her aside for a little talk and at once ob­ served she was in a sober mood. In fact. She seemed to be more downcast than when we were fighting for our Ilves In the Frazier cabin.

TELLING TALES GUT OF SCHOOL It was along in the middle eighties when every day seemed like April Fool's day. About every time someone asked you a question you could look for a ’'catch” in IL Jocularity and wise-cracks thrived in barber shops, and many a story told there by the rozor-wlelder was illustrated with cuts —if you get what I mean. Even dig­ nity did not save a person from a prac­ tical joke, but Just when a joke is practical had never been explained. The biggest jokers are the poorest losers when the shoe is on the other foot. There was not much said about sex appeal, but we did have a sextette of practical jokers. I would name in this All-NashvUle team the following: Charley Lusk. Ard Stanton. Tomlinson, the baker. George Truman. Aaron Whitmire and Sherm Fowler. We al­ so had a number of amateur teams who could qualify at any time. Sometimes a joke was carried too far: as when a certain Nashville citi­ zen took nearly a whole case of oysters from outside my father’s grocery one cold December evening. The store show windows those Zero days had more frosted ice on ’em than a wedd­ ing cake. I am pleased to say there were very few dishonest people in the old home town and. what few light­ fingered humans there were, the law seldom laid a heavy hand on them. They were usually brought face to face with their short-comings • in a more gentle way. About half an hour af­ ter my father missed the bivalves, a youngster came into the store after a jug of vinegar. He remarked that his dad had just brought home a whole lot of oysters, and now he would get all he wanted for once in hi* life. My father got his vinegar and then gave him a large sack of crackers with his compliments. He explained to the youngster to tell his father If there were any unopened cans left after the •’feed" to bring 'em back and they would be exchanged for anything else in the grocery line. The delinquent parent returned the oysters and prom­ ised to pay for the can* that were opened. He said he took 'em for a joke. Of course the oysters tney served at church social* were jokes. At least, I got a laugh out of the pair they alwavs served me. Yes; the joke fever spread rapidly and no person was immune. We had a singing expert arrive in town by the name of Professor Leslie, who organ­ ized one of those choral societies. He could teach your larynx to do tricks on (Continued on last page.) PAUL HARRISON SMITH has spent the last twenty-five years of his life trying to make his name mean something in his community. In school he worked hard to gain the name of being r good student, and he also gained considerable fame as an athlete both in high school and at the University of Michigan. After his re­ turn to the farm he gained the respect of hl* farmer friends to the extent of being elected master of his local Grange and later was elected master of the County Pomona Grange, and at the age of 27 was elected supervisor of Paw Paw township. The following year he was selected to serve as coun­ ty agricultural agent of Mecosta coun­ ty. He spent five years in this work and then returned to Paw Paw. Immediately on his return to Paw Paw he was again elected supervisor and has served In that capacity for the last six years. ,Two years ago he was further honored by being elected chairman of the county board of su­ pervisors. and during the last six years has taken an active and official part In various civic, social and school activ­ ities cf his community. Two years ago Mr. Smith was a can­ didate for the state Senate and suc­ ceeded in carrying two of the three counties in the district and lost by a narrow margin. Early this season he started his campaign again for the Senate. The name that he had work­ ed so hard to “put over" seemed to be very favorably known throughout the district and chancss for receiving the nomination looked exceptionally ■rood. At almost the last hour for fil­ ing petitions another Paul Smith en­ tered the contest so that all the en­ ergy and efforts spent in establishing his name is now in danger of being diffused because of a confusion of names. The newspapers of the district have given the affair considerable publicity so that it is now pretty well known that Paul Harrison Smith is the man who has made the real effort to make a name for himself .in thia part of Michigan.

Remington, Village Treasurer. The editor of The News was privil­ eged. with a. mass of other people, to attend the Ionia free fair Wednesday of last week. And if you doubt that it is some fair, ask any of the hundred* from this vicinity who attended. Wed­ nesday was the annual “Governor's Day,” and the throngs that packed the stands and track to hear the genial Governor's “Annual Report” to his home people attested to their love and respect far their distinguished fellow citizen. The Governor’s report was so con­ cise. so direct and so complete a re­ port on the work of the administration since Fred W. Green has been at the head of state affairs, that we deem it a privilege to be able to reproduce it in full, and we know that it will be read with a great deal of interest. The text of Gov. Green's address fol­ lows: ■ The happiest day of the year to me is this day when I come home to my old time friends, whose greeting tells me that, my absence has not dimmed their affection. Friends who under­ stand that I am honestly striving for better things in Michigan. When the going get* hard and the lempfiatlon to choose the easy path comes to me. my thoughts invariably turn to Ionia county and the home folks. Your unswerving loyalty has been a never falling source of inspira­ tion. It were better a thousand times that I had never been elected governor than that I fail you. The thing I want to deserve when I come home is your “well done, good and faithful servant." Renders Accounting. It was you that made my candidacy and election possible, and so I gladly come today to render to you an ac­ counting. I am not coming in a boastful spirit, but in a humble spirit, realizing try imperfections. Michigan was thirteenth in wealth but a few short years ago. but today she is a proud fourth among the states. Although we are hundreds of miles from the sea coast we stand third in exports. I could go on almost in­ definitely telling you ’ of Michigan's greatness in mining. manufacturing and agriculture. These great diversified interests all raise problems in government and to their solution I have given my undi­ vided attention. Not one single hour have I put in on my private business since my election. I know I have put in more hours at my office In Lansing than any governor that has served during my lifetime. This has made It necessary for me to miss what I have always prized higher than any other pleasure—the dally contact with my Ionia friends. And friends, when I have left my office to go about the state I have always paid my own ex­ penses. Michigan has had no expense accounts from me. Untrue Criticism. It is not easy to take on a new busi­ ness as enormous as that of the state of Michigan under any circumstances, and it is doubly hard when you are compelled to face each day the un­ friendly and untrue criticism of a gang who have steadfastly refused to accept the verdict of the people at the polls when I was elected governor. Democrats almost without exception have willingly joined hands witii me in working for Michigan, and I am glad to acknowledge publicly my debt to them; but for the disgruntled Repub­ licans who have tried in every way to handicap me I have only a supreme pity. . It is impossible to be governor and protect the rights of the people with­ out making enemies. If there is one particular thing of which I am proud, it is my enemies. If I had lived in peace and harmony with the Bob War­ dell*, the Sen. Woods, the Abe Aschers and the men of their ilk you would know at once that there was something wrong with me. I am happy in their enmity. I have dared and delighted in standing for Michigan against them. I vetoed the act of the legislature giving the legislators an extra $5 per day because you at the polls had re­ fused to raise' their salaries. I was carrying out your mandate, but it did­ n't make for popularity with some leg­ islators. Veto Not Easy. It wasn't easy to veto the act of the legislature giving the circuit judges— 63 of them—an increase of $2500 per year, because they are fine, upstand­ ing men worthy of their hire. They are also the strongest single political factors in their districts. The condi­ tion of the state's finances demanded that I veto IL and I did. Many men told me that this veto would kill me politically, but I am still a pretty live­ ly corpse. Ahd let me say to my crit­ ics. the circuit judges of Michigan ore still my friends, and a great many of them have told me that I did the right thing. It was not easy to say no to raises offered by the legislature to the heads of nearly every state department, but I did. and I have no apologies to offer. It was not easy to veto $2,800,000 that had been voted by the legislature to the University of Michigan. In fact, my friends, none of the vetoes that took $5,000,000 off the tax roll were easy things to do. but they were the right things to do. Michigan's finan­ ces were not in good shape, the tax levy was burdensome and it was my plain duty to economize. It was no time for unnecessary expenses or in­ creased salaries. Appointments Difficult It was not easy to appoint 25 judges, four of whom were supreme court judg­ es. but by demanding first that the appointee be a man of high character, honored in the county where he lived. I feel that I have selected competent men who are serving the people. It, was difficult to appoint a United States senator, but unmindful of the dire predictions of the politicians, I am confident that one of the best things I have done for Michigan was the ap­ pointment of Arthur Vandenberg. I have no apology to make for my work in behalf of Herbert Hoover, and I shall never cease to be proud of ray small part in his nomination. I firm­ ly believe he Is the man best fitted for the presidency that has been a candi­ date in many years. On State Taxes, There was a difference in the amount of money levied in 1926 and the amount of money speat in that yw $4,600,000 A tax levy of $17,800,000 had been made when the lew snould have been $22,400,000. Therefore, to (continued on page 4.) NO WET REFERENDUM The proposal of Robert D. Wardell, of Detroit, state representative and official of wet organizations, to initiate an amendment to the state constitu­ tion wiping out the Michigan bone dry clause, has failed. Wardell filed ome signatures a few months ago. but failed to supplement them with enough to give his proposed amendment a place on the ballot next November., ■ The failure of Wardell means that only three constitutional proposals will be boted upon, all of which were in­ itiated by the 1927 legislature. One proposes limiting cities to single rep­ resentative districts—which would re­ quire all representatives to which the city is entitled to be elected by the city at large—another would increase the pay of members of the legislature from $800 for a two-year term to $3 a day or more than $2,000. and the other would permit excess condemna­ tion for city streets and alleys.

NO SHORT CUTS TO SUCCESS Lillian Gish, famous screen actress, recently made the remark that it takes ten years of iuird work to build up a large following and to make people de­ mand a narqe or face in the films. She speaks from personal experience and from a knowledge of the experience of other screen folk. Here is a situation not limited to movie stars. Doctors and lawyers fre­ quently justify their fees by the years they spent in study and in building up a paying practice. It is not only in fiction and the movies that young ar­ tists starve in attics. Henry Ford struggled along for years before Dame Fortune favored him. And his experience has been that of the founders of most of the country's great industries. Successful merchants often attribute their business achievements to early years of struggle just one jump ahead of tiie sheriff. Their businesses rest on solid foundations laid by years of hard work and extensive advertising. Stores and other business enterprises do not win public confidence and wide­ spread patronage by lottery. The larger rewards of screen stars, professional men and successful busi­ ness men are vindicated by the years of self-sacrificing toil expended tn win­ ning them. Part of their income is Many individuals and business en­ terprises fail today because they are unwilling to pass through that forma­ tive period of hard knocks and hard work.The world wasn’t built in a day. and great careers and monumental commercial enterprises are not produc­ ed by the wave of a wand. DOLLARS AND TOWNS Probably everybody at one time or another has mailed an order to an out-of-town concern, but how many have ever stopped to think what that order meant? Not many, many. or there would be less trading with mail oroer houses and other “foreign" firms. Do you know that every dollar spent out of town Is gone forever? Do you know that every dollar spent in your own community mekes it more prosperous, gives it a chance to glow, and helps make Nashville a better place In which to work and play and live? Large cities offer inducements for mall order businesses to establish plants there because they concentrate, in the communities in which they op­ erate, millions of dollars received from customers in other cities, towns and rural sections. If mall order money is needed by the large city it can do much more good in the smaller community from which it issues. A few hundred dollars spent at home makes a larger ripple in the pool of business than as many thous­ ands of dollars can make In the great metropolis. Why are so many people blind to the good their money does when spent in Nashville stores? It furnishes em­ ployment. makes those same stores more useful to them, helps pay for civic improvements and better schools, and in other routes finds its way back to the spender. And is not the lure of the mail or­ der catalog explained by the saying. "Distance lends enchantment?" As for mall order economies, they exist only in the mind.

An attempt by Grattan Bars, the fa­ mous Canadian pacer, to break the State Fair Track mile pacing record of 1.59 3-4 will be made on Wednesday. September 5. Governor's Day. during the five-days racing program at the Fair, according to Fair officials. Five afternoons of racing, from Monday to Friday inclusive, will bring some of the most famous horses and drivers from all over the country during State Fair week, September 2-8. Grattan Bars, whose owner, Fred Thrower, of Kerwood. Ont., is said to have refused <100.000 for the horse, has already won three Derbies in succes­ sion. and is so fast he will not be en­ tered in competition with the other horses on the program, but will be driven by Vic Fleming, veteran race horse driver in a special effort to break the Fair track record. Of special interest to the thousands of women visitors at this year's fair will be the exhibits in the Depart­ ment of Domestic Economics, under the direction of T. H. Broughton, of Lan­ sing. Here every opportunity will be afforded the housewife and others in­ terested in the home preparation of foods, to display the finest examples of their skill in the preparation and preservation of foods. A total of <670 will be offered in this competition, which will be offered to Michigan women only. Entries for this department will close on Monday, August 27. All articles for exhibition in the various departments of home economics must be strictly home-made, and the work of the per­ son entering the exhibit. The entries must be in place by 6 p. m. on Satur­ day. September 1. and must not be moved before the close of the fair on September 8 without the permission of the superintendent. • DEPT. OF CONSERVATION NOTES. Tagging of trout that are distributed in Michigan streams by the Depart­ ment of Conservation, probably will not start before September or October. While the tags of non-corrosive metal have been ordered, no definite date has been given for delivery. Brook. Ger­ man brown and rainbow trout will be marked in carrying out the experi­ ment. Less than a dozen drownings have occurred at beaches on State Park property since the parks opened sev­ en years ago. This Is a remarkable record in view of the fact that millions of people have enjoyed the bathing privileges at these recreational centers during the seven year period. Some Idea of the number who fre­ quent these parks may be gained by re­ viewing the attendance figures at the Bay City Park on Saginaw Bay near Bay City for 1927. There were more than 980.000 people in the park during the summer season. At beaches where the traffic is particularly heavy, the state has taken the precaution to place a life guard. This safety measure has resulted in the saving of several lives that otherwise probably would have In some instances ftccidents that happen near the state-owned beaches are laid at the threshold of the state property, but records on file at the of­ fice indicate that the percentage of fa­ tal water experiences actually trans­ piring on the patrolled sections is ex­ ceedingly small. Walter HastUigs, official wild Itfe photographer for the Department of Conservation, plans on making a mo­ tion picture of a man riding a wild moose on Isle Royale. Hastings will paddle a boat alongside the swimming animal so that a companion may climb astride. Then he will move off and grind away at the camera. The moose will be too busy swimming to bother about fending off a boarder. As soon as the moose nears land, it is well to desert the ship for with his feet once on bottom, the big animal would find it easy to make short work of his hu­ man freight.

Horton, editor of the Orange (Texas) Leader, says: That when a man parades his priv­ ate opinion at every opportunity it be­ comes boresome monotony. The merchant who parades his name and product on every hand through ths medium of diversified advertis­ ing builds a good reputation, together with success. Advertising measures both the man and Ills product. One merchant, giv­ ing as his excuse for a determined stand against advertising, said, "I don't want to get more business—if I do. the chain stores will oi>en in my town and the competition will hurt." Within less than a month after this merchant rendered his verdict, he stood in the doorway of his dry goods store and watehed workmen across the street remodei a large store room for one of the largest chain systems of dry­ goods in the nation—an an advertiser. This merchant is now conducting a closing-out sale, with an oath on his lips that when he opens in a nearby town he will build up an advertising system which will build friends and patronage for his store until the chain stores will not be anxious to compete with him. A lesson like this is necessary to teach some merchants they must ad­ vertise. or tall short of the goal, in this day of modem merchandising. The home town merchant is the only one who can Induce people to buy-at home, and this through advertising.

Dear Fike, It is so long since the last rainy day overtook me that I am not entirely sure where my continued story left off. It runs in my mind, however, that the memory of the neat on the day we left Ragusa, was so clear that I melted from the picture and stopped Just there. On the day set we left Ragusa in a private automobile at 6:30 a. m. and started straight up for Sarajevo, the place where the Austrian Archduke’s assassination furnished the occasion for starting the war. We rode all day, averaging 30 miles an hour in the most ghastly heat I have ever exerienced. "Most of the road lay thru forests and along a rashing stream. Wild white roses overhung the precipices. It does not sound hot, but it was. At noon we stopped for dinner in a little hill town of Mostav. Here for the first time, the old time Turk with baggy breeches and red fez put in his appearance. A verystrict variety of Mohammedan lives here and the wives not only wear black cloth over the faces, but great monk­ like coats of blue wool serge lined with yellow silk.

The men all walked In the street behind the coffin which was wrapped In oriental ruga The women of course do not attend for they cannot enter the mosques. We tried to get some pictures of them but they are camera shy. They have a religious belief that any form of a living thing which does not have a soul will get one from some person. If someone makes a picture of them, it does "not live be­ cause it has no soul, but it wants to live and so will come and get their soul when they aren’t looking. .Kind of dumb on the surface of it, but wiser, the more you think of it Perhaps they aren’t so foolish to think that one better not create anything unlesshe can provide It a soul. About nine oclock we arrived in Sarajevo, rather the worse for wear. A good night's sleep brought us out next morning. July 14, ready to do the town, and that means something—for the bazaars are equall­ ed only by those of Damascus. To our utter surprise we found all stores closed until noon, the streets filled with holl- guage. In a variety of languages we discovered that they were celebrating, CELEBRATING, mind you. the be­ ginning of the war. Our guide, who was herself a Serbian woman, and Self-Interest wife of an officer, explained to us that Self-interest Is more likely to warp she herself didn’t really favor the cele­ a man's Judgment than anything else bration. She thought it was enough to —Oilmen New* be satisfied when your enemy was dead without singing. Three times in one day we found ourselves being spied up­ on. a plainclothes man watching what was being told the visitors. During the afternoon we did visit the bazaars, and secured a great many Interesting things, including Jam made of rose leaves, fine Turkish candy, some re­ markable metal work and embroidery. Tn the evening a round of the coffee houses brought us in touch with the gypsy music which was our real bus­ iness tn this part of the world. We al­ so discovered on the same round the stomach dances so highly favored by the Turks, who like them fat.

"My son Is an American— perhaps you like some help to talk.” From then on the town was ours. We got ourselves invited to a peasant wedding where they danced In the barnyard and drank out of enormous bottles. The men wore white linen dresses and flowers in their hate. The bride wore a lovely lace cap with gold threads hanging at her ears instead of the veil. They have an ancient legend that the old woman of the mountains who they believe collects all the gold from the rocks and who hates mankind always spun trouble and curses into the golden thread she spun. One day her daughter who had Just seen a man for the first time and was greatly pleased with him, sat down at her mother’s wheel and spun some gold threads full of love and happiness. Her mother snatched the thread from her distaff and flung It down with all the rest, where no one could ever tell It from the thread spun full of curses. Every Roumanian bride believes she selected the pieces spun by the daugh­ ter. but the odds are hardly even that she will. A few hours ride and much fuss at borders finally brought us thru what was once Transsylvanla Into beau­ tiful Budapest lying on either side of the Danube. This interesting city of one and a half million Is a unique spot In Europe for the Magyars, or Hungarians. are a folk washed into Europe from the north of Asia with the great Tartar invasions of the early middle ages. Their great Hun leader, Attila, Ls said to be buried somewhere near Buda, on the river banks. The old city of Buda, lying high on the left bank bears unescapablc traces of the Turkish influences of the late middle ages In Its architecture and art. The. fisher vestel. a great wall with curious mushroom turrets, marks the defenses of the ancient fisher folk from the warring Turks. On the mountain be­ hind It lies the Coronation church and the gorgeous castle of Franz Joseph, finished Just before the war and representing in its ballroom of silvered carved wood and pale cream marble, the most regal room In all of Europe’s palaces. A short Journey from Budapest brings one across the Austrian border and into the lovely capita! of Vienna. Here a small arm of the Danube is found within the city, but for beauty of architecture and layout of streets and parks Vienna seems to me the lovelies city of Europe. The famous Vienna forests clothe the encircling hills from the top of which one can distin­ guish snowclad mountain peaks a half­ days Journey away. Vienna comes as nearly being socialistic In its regime as any country not avowedly communistic. The old upper class who used to profit from their rents do not like it. but the working man is well-off indeed. The city owns any number of new apartaoeds uodo qqpn Htnq rasnoti quoui in the center. The apartmehta have bath rooms which is more than can be said of many private homes there. There apartments rent to laborers for about $1.00 a month, altho a modem inexpensive Pension such as I lived in charge a little more than that a day. Nearly every such apartment building, and other places in various parts of the city house what are called “Chil­ drens Advisory Councils" which are open every evening for advice to chil­ dren and parents. A teacher trained by the famous Dr. Adler, the character specialist, and a regular physician are in charge. AU sorts of problems are dealt with here and night after night tn these forty centers advice Is given children to help them keep their liv­ ing clean and normal. Parents who were having trouble came to get the advice of experts. It Is the finest piece of educational work being done today.

We are mindful of the fact that the tourist trade in Michigan Is a very large Item in our prosperity. Last year over five and a half million people vis­ ited our state parks. We have done much the last two years In equipping them and In increasing their acreage. We are purchasing a part of the shore of all of our principal lakes to the end that the public may for all time have the opportunity to enjoy the bathing, fishing and recreational facilities that they afford. We have increased the acreage in our state parks in one year and a half from seven thousand acres to over 25 thou­ sand acres. We now have 64 state parks with over 52 3-4 miles of lake frontage. We have a conservation department with a definite program that is one of Michigan’s best assets.

Wants Farm Relief. I am deeply interested in the agri­ cultural problems. as we all know the success of the farmer Is vital to the prosperity of Michigan. We realize farm relief is not only a national but a state problem. There is much that Michigan can do to be helpful, but It U all dependent on the co-operation of the farmer. The work of the Michigan Potato Growers exchange has been most help­ ful. Far-seeing, intelligent farmers have organized to establish a market for Michigan potatoes, and as a result the Michigan potato Is now the “super spud” of the nation. This has been brought about through careful grad­ ing, and a constant endeavor to year­ pULVERIZES and PACKS at the same time. ly better the crop of seed potatoes. No better evidence of this work can be * The heavy toothed rings break up all the had than the fact that this year Mich­ igan will produce more than 800,000 lumps and the discs do the packing.

A year ago the potato exchange sold seed potatoes at prices ranging from Everything in the Machinery line. $2 to $2.45 per bushel. This year's buyers are coming Into Michigan and offering the growers of certified seed potatoes still higher prices. What they want Is tne Michigan product and they are willing to pay well for it.

Vulcanizing Battery Charging Radios For Representative in State Legislature LEN W. FEIGHNER To the Citizens and Voters of Barry County: In offering myself as a candidate for nomination for representa­ tive in the legislature from Barry county, on the republican ticket. I feci that I owe to you a plain statement al where I stand on various important questions. I voted for state prohibition and I am positively opposed to the sa­ loon. Yet I am not a fanatic. I hqpe. on any subject. I believe the laws against moonshining and bootlegging should be firmly and vig­ orously enforced, os much so as any other laws. If we all try to live up to national and state laws we will have more respect for our govern­ ment and our country. I believe the present prohibition laws could be vastly improved, which Uj a matter tor the federal congress, not for the state legisture. . I believe the greatest present ameer to this republic is the lack of enforcement of the laws we now have, which is breeding a con­ tempt for law and order. I believe a person convicted of driving an automobile while under the Influence of liquor should be fined not less than $100 and should be deprived of his driving license for not less than a year, and that for a second conviction should be forever deprived of the right to drive a car. I believe county and state officers of the law should know that ev­ ery driver has a license. I have driven a car for many years, but have never yet been, asked to show my driver’s license. Have you? Many people without drivers' licenses are persistently driving cars, in open violation of law, and are never questioned as to a license. I am a firm believer in the prompt and efficient enforcement of all the traffic laws and the liquor laws, as well as all other laws. I am not and never have been a member of the Ku Kiux Klan. I am not and never have been a Catholic. I was born and raised and still am n Protestant. At the same time. I can not believe that any man should, be hanged or drawn and quartered, just because he hap­ pens to hold to a religious creed different from my own. I believe I am broad-minded and fair enough to be able to represent ALL of the people of Barry county, fairly, honestly and without prejudice. If you should choose me to represent you in the state legislature I pledge you that I shall support and work for every measure and bin that I consider to be to the best Interests of my district and the state at large, and that I shall vigorously oppose any bill or measure that I believe to be detrimental to the best interests of my district and the state. I have owned and published the Nashville News since 1888. The people of my village have three times in succession honored me by electing me president of the village of Nashville, and several terms as a member of the board of trustees. I was postmaster of Nashville for three terms. I am a member of the Masonic order, the Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows and the Elks. I have lived in Barry county since 1862 and expect to spend the remainder of my life as a citizen of Barry county. I do not feel that the people of Barry county owe me any public office, or are under any obligation to support me for representative unless they feel that I would represent them properly and to their satisfaction. I am so situated that I can serve as your representative, if you nominate and elect me, without financial disaster to myself, even though the salary far the two year term is but $800.00, and I have sufficient financial means so that I will not need to accept any gratuities or financial favors from any corporation or organization. If I should go to the legislature as your representative I shall go unpledged to any clique or clan, and without obligation of any kind except to the people of. my own county. I am sorry that press of other duties prevents my making a per­ sonal campaign, not for your votes, but in order that I might know more of you personally. If you feel that I am the man of your choice for representative and decide to support me for the nomination at the primaries on September 4. I assure you of my sincere and hearty appreciation. On the other hand, if you feel that your vote should go to my oppon­ ent and he Is nominated and elected. I shall give him my hearty sup­ port m every possible way. for every good alm and end. Very sincerely yours, Len W. Felghner. Everley spent Wednesday at the Sponable cottage at Wall lake. Our new pastor. Rev. W. H. Augerer, and wife arrived from Manistique on Monday.

When the drums beat tbe long march on the mornlug of tbe seventh I turned out to assist in getting the wagons across the creek. But what wna my amazement to learn that the course had been changed during the night's council, and that SL Clair bad finally decided it would be best for the army to swing clear of the rugged country entirely and to march direct for the Monongahela. Tills would necessitate crossing at a point where the river bends to the north, and after, marching across the bend, to recrose just below the mouth of Turtle creek. This shift in plane was due to the excellent fords and their gently sloping banks. There would be no difficulty in crossing the guns and waguirn. Destiny was tak Ing the Dinwold girl and me back to the Frazier cabin.. I hunted up the Onondaga and found him freshly painted for war and softly reminding his orenda that be was a man of the Wolf clan. After finishing his chanting be cried out to me: . "Yo-hah l They say some very brave men will die before two more sleeps white brother. . They say it Is not good for men to grow old until they find all meat tough.” “The French will die bravely if they fight,” I agreed. “They say the French will not die alone. It will be a very strong fight" "There will be no fight unless Beau' jeu cun drive bls Indiana into making a surprise quack." "There will be a fight," he gravely assured me. “Many axes will be cov­ ered with new paint (blood). They ray the English from over the stinking water do not know how to flght""The Delawares have told you that. They talk like old women." "A wolf howled In ti:e night to the Wolf man,” he correcetd. "The talk of our nephews, the Lenl-Leuopea, goes by Round Paw's ears without enter­ ing. Let the witch-woman change her­ self into u bird and fly away." "Let my red-brother keep that talk shut up In his bag," I warned, secret­ ly alarmed by, his reference to the Din­ wold girl. For should there be a fight with the fort Indians 1 feared she would refuse to hide In a wagon until it was over; and it did seem a cruel shame that after escaping from Fra­ zier's cabin she should run the risk of being hideously killed within gun­ shot of IL "Let her turn herself into a bird and fly back to the Susquehanna,” he called after me. I hastened on, eager to find the girl and persuade her to stay well back among the wagons. Even if we were ambushed and well-blooded she would be safe at the rear of the line. The savages could never break through even though they ehould punish tbe head of the army. She greeted me shyly and was strangely willing to do as I asked. 1 whs surprised and pleased with her acquiescence; for I knew she bad but Ujtle thought for her own safety. There was, however, a small condi­ tion attached to her promise; and she expressed it thus: "IH do as you ask. mister; but be­ fore the fighting begins, if there is any, I want to see you a minute. L’ there's sure to be fighting, come back to me. I'll be near the first wagon." "If it Is possible, I'll do that” I agreed, glad to make any terms that would insure her safety. There was some delay tn starting, although the drums bad pounded out the "long march.” It seems that Gen­ eral Braddock wished to examine the Rush creek shore personally before breaking camp. Now my hopes were high again; but. alas! The precipitous banks impressed him as being too much of an obstacle to overcome now we were so close to the fort. And during the few minute? be walked along the banks and scowled at the rugged shore over the stream the fate of an army and of a continent were decided. I felt a great regret that the ridge road was not followed, but I fully be­ lieved the river road would, at the mosL cost some Ilves. It was not given to the Onondaga, nor even to the witch-girl, to read tbe next few hours. It was near midday before we got In motion. Gist was already out with the Delawares. Round Paw, Cromit and 1 took to the woods together, bui quickly separated and scouted toward Turtle creek. When we came back to camp that night we made the same report—no signs of any enemy In­ dians in numbers. Our Delawares had exchanged shots with a few French Indians but no scalps were brought in. During the day the army had fol­ lowed the valley of Long Run for a distance of about eight miles in a southwesterly course, so slowly did we move, and had made camp on the slope between the Monongahela and a rivu­ let called Crooked Run. Throughout the night the wagons kept coming tn. In tbe morning—July eighth—Col­ onel Washington arrived and insisted on exchanging the covered wagon for a horse. He showed his illness very plainly and was not fit to be tn the saddle. He was a young man, younger than L and yet bis face was very grave. I saw him when be went to participate in a council with the com­ mander and tbe field officers. I was waiting near when he came from the conference in company with Sir Peter HalkeL Sir Peter's visage was very “You shouldn't say such tilings. You'll take the heart out of the men If they hear yon." “I ain’t a fool even If I come from a family of witches," she angrily re­ torted. "I’m talking to you, not to the soldiers." Then with Instant re­ pentance: "I didn't go for to speak to you like this, mister. But these women here are scared. And yet all they talk about Is the rilks and fine clothes they’ll have when we march Into Duquesne. You’ll come and talk again with me tomorrer, mister? You've done so much for me." “I’ll talk with you. I've done noth­ ing. You’re hitching the cart ahead of the horse, if not for you, I never could have left the Duquesne stock­ ade." “I tell you it was the Injun who done all that." • ——.... ’ "After you had told him of my dan­ ger and had planned for us to scale the water-gate and flu J you waiting with a canoe. I'll see you tomorrow, and the next day; and on the third day I’ll see that you get some of the fine cloth—If the French don’t burn everything before leaving the fort.” "I feel bad luck, but I’ll hope for the best.” she muttered. "And don't go Into danger, mister." The last was so Incongruous after what we had been through together, and in view of the part I must play as scout, that I laughed and even she smiled, albeit a bit wistfully. She gave me her small hand and eyed me with strange steadiness; then disconcerted me by gravely saying: "There ain’t no shroud around you yef. I’m thinking you’ll live through it” Cromit came up in time to hear the Inst and anxiously inquired: "What about me. missy?" His mouth was smiling, but his eyes were uneasy. She hesitated, then told him: “Anyone you come to grips with will die." With this Rhe abruptly left us and busied herself at the tire. We went to where the rangers were camping and looked for Colonel Wash­ ington, but he had -not yet reported to Braddock. I did meet Captain Bus­ by, however. He had lost much of his stoutness and was as lean and hard as a hound. “Webster Brond, by all that's quaint!" he cried on recognizing me. And this time he was eager to clasp my hand. "I’ve looked for you all along this cursed march and through all the cursed days we’ve crawled and fiddled away the time. Lord I but Tm glad the Alexandria folks can’t see what a rough-looking lot we are. Where have you been and what do you think we’ll do next?" I explained, and be declared my Du­ quesne trip displayed "damned" rare sportsmanship. I told him the wopt of the campaign was over and that we would be free from Indian attacks after we had crossed the creek and taken to the ridge. “A fight would be welcome," he testily replied. “It's this d—d crawl­ ing along, like a worm on a leaf, that takes the gimp out of the men. If you’d stayed with us from the time we quit Will's creek, you’d understand how trifles can eat »jhe heart out of a man. Wood-ticks annoy more people than tigers do. Really, we officers of the Virginians have given up our lug­ gage animals until we scarcely have anything left except what we have on. I hope there'll be some clean linen at Duquesne. If there Isn’t. I’ll never forgive the French. I suppose the ■folks back home are thinking tonight that we’re already in Duquesne." There was no "back home” for me, no folks to learn how I had fared; and I had nothing to say. He ran on: •Tve sent word to Josephine by every express, but probably she hasn't received one out of five of my let­ ters. I told her I hadn't seen you. So you don’t expect we’ll be attacked by the red devils od our way to .the fort?” "Not if we follow the ridge road. Yes. If we follow the river road."

But, methinks, we could well take a lesson from these same Highland hunters."

Thereupon they parted with cere­ monious bows, and Colonel Washing­ ton beheld me for the first time. He greeted me warmly, as an old friend. I had to tell him my experience as a guest of Captain Beaujeu, and he re­ quested me to repeat what the cap­ tain had said about laying an ambus­ cade at the crossings.

"Excellent advice, Doctor Brond, inasmuch as rert Is hard come by when the wagon is in motion." His attempt at Jocosity was rather pitiable when one saw the feverish flush in bls thin cheeks and observed the heavy weariness of his eyes. "But it’s worry, rather than fatigue, that's bothering me. Damme, Webster I It’s hard faring when I can't keep on a horse when I believe Tm needed, but can ride across two counties without discomfort when a dance with a pretty lady is the objective.” I turned with him towards his wagon and he rested a hand on my shoulder, not for support but tn stmpf* friendliness, and I prompted, “You worry, Colonel?" "The regulars,” be replied In a low voice. "They have no Idea what bush­ fighting means." Then he caught him­ self and his voice wns that of an offi­ cer as he warned. “But that isn’t to be talked about Tbe riflemen will scout agalust a surprise." We were at the wagon and I would have liked to have given him a hand over tbe tail-board, but knew better.

But he knew nothing of all thia, and Sir John did not take steps to make tbe double crossing of the Mononga­ hela saf& However, General Brad­ dock did realize the necessity of doing in part what Sir Peter Halket had urged him to do thoroughly, and at three of the clock of the morning of the ninth sent Gage forward to se­ cure the two crossings and to hold the farther shore of the second until the army should come up. Round Paw and I were awake when this detachment started and we did not go back to sleep again. Cromit had found Simon Flax among the wagons and had joined his mesa. At four o'clock in the morning St Clair followed after Gage with the road­ builders. Braddock posted four hun­ dred men on the surrounding heights and started for the first crowing at six In the morning. Round Paw and I acted as scouts, although It has been erroneously charged that Braddock bad no scouts out. Such statements are absurd. The entire army, including the wagons and guns, made tbe first crowing without any hindrance; and it did seem as if the road to Duquesne was open before use. We marched in order of battle to tbe second ford, and saw nothing of the enemy. Gage had car­ ried out his instructions, and the last crossing was dear and the prise was almost within our grasp.

TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL Long before Henry ford dreamed of putting wheels under pedestrians, and releasing the brakes on their pocket­ books. another Ford entered my young life in rf'.her a clrcuituous way. He was the democrat candidate for con­ gress for the then fifth district. The political big-wigs of Grand Rapids gave him a hair-raising blow-out on the eve of election. Nearly every brass band in that sect!an of the state *tls hired for the occasion, and so Clarence Barber and myself were engaged to augment the Hastings Cornet Band, which was directed by Johnny Weissert. We were to receive our carfare and two dollars in money. I mean that each member of the band was to get the two bucks. I can't say how many miles we inarched, nor do I know how long it took the parade to pass a given point. Fact is, I don’t recall where the given point was located or who gave it. One of the mounted officers cf the day, who was really working on the night shift, escorted us way off on a hill and com­ manded us to stay put until our sec­ tion of the parade formed. It seemed as though the election would come and go before these section hands showed up with their torches, banners and transparencies.

In spite of the political trick that was played with his name he has met the situation calmly and has attempted to get the word to his friends throughout the district, that in the coming pri­ maries he has been granted the priv­ ilege by Attorney General Brucker of haring his natae printed on the bal­ lot as Paul Harrison Smith instead of just Paul H. Smith, as he was known in his campaign two years ago. He has the endorsement of Van Bur­ en county officials, including supervi­ sors irom every township in his coun­ ty as well as many supervisors and officers from the other two counties in the district. We all like to see fair play and Paul Harrison Smith should not be defeat­ ed by the political trickery which has been practiced upon him. DWIGHT C. BARKER.

Waite. Shawnee, Okla. While in Oklahoma City I drooped down in the Chamber of Commerce to see the president. Ed Overholser. There is no use for me to tell you who Ed. Overholser la. as every Chamber of Commerce man in the United States knows him. and at some time or other some of his speeches or writings have been used by most of them in their own Ed Overholser is one of the queerest Chamber of Commerce men in the United States. He never mentions his own town’s name—he works for the state of Oklahoma. He even goes further than that, be works for what he calls the Southwest; that area ly­ ing west of the Mississippi River, south of the Missouri river, east of the Rocky mountains and north of Old Mexico and the Gulf. Ed says that whenever the Southwest is prospering his town will get its share. Another queer thing about his preaching—he says the Southwest con­ tains only one-fifth of the area of the United States but produces from 25 per cent to 50 per cent of nearly all the raw material produced in America. For Instance, the Southwest produces 53 per cent of all the cotton of the United States. 82 per cent of all the broom-com. 68 per cent of all the oil. 40 per cent of all the zinc. 41 per cent of all the lead, and almost half of the winter wheat. Ed says the fastest growing section in the United States is his SouthwesL and while modesty prevents him from, saying anything about his own town. Its building permits have run *9,628,747.00 in the last six months and there are *25,000.000 wortWtaf projects financ­ ed for the coming year, which include a 25 story hotel, a *10,000.000 railroad station and equipment. 200 miles of hard surfaced roads and other things in proportion. Ed won’t talk politics or religion in connection with his Chamber of but he admitted before I left the of­ fice that he wasn’t at all agitated about the political situation, because the best or worst president the United States ever had could not step the develop­ ment in the Southwest that is now on the program, and that the political and financial power was moving to the west so fast that neither Tammany nor Wall Street could much longer retain their power over things political or financial.

NATURE’S REMEDY When you lose your appetite. And you cannot sleep at night. You don't know what to do. You wonder what’s the matter For your wits they kind o' scatter. And you're just a fort of feeling blue. When you've lulu awake and counted Till the total has amounted To about a million sheep or more, That keep jumping o'er the fence Coming from you know not whence, Till it’s sheep, sheep, sheep galore. When the days are long and dreary. You're getting tired and weary, And you feel you'd like to shirk. That life's not worth the living. If ours is all the giving. If you always have to plod and work. There's a remedy near by That will cure you If you try. You will find this to be true. And this remedy so handy, It surely Is a dandy, Just a dandy old canoe.. Now Hl rout out your affliction, If you’ll follow my prescription, I’ll tell you what to do, 'Twill cure your torpid liver If you’ll go down on the river. And swing your paddle in that bully old canoe.. You'll soon get over being sad, And be feeling mighty glad. For the skies will be so blue That the fellow that's a boating On the river just a floating That he's nobody else but you! All nature will be smiling While the hours you are beguiling In that old canoe. You’ll hear the birds a calling The leaves will be a falling In the river and theyll float along with you. Tliere's no music half so sweet As your paddle's rythmic beat; You feel that you could glide forever- For the sunbeams are a glancing As you send the ripples dancing Back from shore to shore. When the shadows are a creeping, And the stars the arc a peeping. You'll come back in that old canoe; You'll hear the evening breeze Just a whispering in the trees. •While somewhere a chap is calling who-who-who. Now it sure will be a treat When you sit down to eat. You'll be hungry thru and thru, There’ll be no time a wasting. For the grub will be a tasting Just like it used to do. And when you're off to bed To lay your sleep head While the hours they come and go Comes the drowsy god a creeping Soon you’ll be soundly sleeping Like a little chap you used to know. Chas. H. Raymond Minority Victors QUICK Work. As soon as Ward Quick heard about Buster catching the big he bass, he up and brings his guest. John Quick, and another fellow over to the lake to get that fish's half-brother, if possi­ ble. The half-brother didn't happen to be at home, or Just wouldn't bite, and it didn't take that party long to tire of the sport. It wouldn't have been such an unpleasant afternoon's outing at that for John especially, if Ward hadn’t wanted to sort of even up some old score with John. Just about the time the boat hit shore. Ward jumped out grabbed the chain in the end of the boat and started to pull the boat GENTLY (he claims) further ashore so John could get out more easily. John got out easily alright, but from the wrong end of the boat. The water in Lake One is just as wet as it is in the Atlantic ocean, the only difference being there isn't quite so much of It. But judging by the soak­ ing John got, there was plenty. Bet John brings his bathing suit with him the next time he comes to visit Word, instead of his sleeping pajamas. Aesop’s Fables Modernized. They didn't have chug-buggies when Mr. Aesop was a young man. but here's about what he would have sed: “If you would put four pounds of butter in the wrong car—remove the key from the Ignition—so the butter would be there when you return. That's just what DonWebb did a few days ago. Came to town, bought four pounds of butter, put it in the wrong car (by mistake, of course)—noticed he had left his keys in the switch, so he removed them so no one would steal his car. and went on up tom to finish his "shopping". Later when Dorr came back to his car. his butter was gone. Gosh, but that made Dorr disgusted, to think some­ body would take all his butter. If they had left one cake. It wouldn’t .have been only three-fourths as bad. Then after a bit someone suggested that per­ haps he had placed the butter in the wrong car—HE HAD. But It was right where he had put It—why not? Dorr had the keys.

However, when he was right in front of the Kuhlman home. Just north of the river bridge, he saw a nice fat pocket-book in the road. Hime stopped his car. climbed out. stooped over and—ALMOST picked up the purse. When'Hime reached for it. the purse started right up the drive toward the Kuhlman home, with Hime right after it—until he discovered that twin grandsons of Mrs. Kuhlman had a string tied on the pocket-book and were only PLAYING.

Extreme* in Light* ‘The Onondaga and I were in ad­ vance and halted to watch this final passage of the river. For the benefit of any French scouts the troops bad been ordered on dress parade. It was a wonderful spectacle, and my heart beat high with pride. Round Paw sounded his "lo-hatil" as he gazed on the soldiers wearing their best uni­ forms, and carrying arms that shone like silver. To add to our enthusiasm, the colors were waving and the drums were rolling out the “Grenadiers' March.” As the disciplined files steadily ap­ proached, long lines of scarlet and gold, 1 could not believe the sturdy fellows ever would be thrown Into confusion let Beaujeu act as cun­ ningly and audaciously as be might As they came on,, it was easy to pro­ nounce them in'exorable of purpose, a relentless war machine that could not be stopped. That. last passage of the river was the high point of my hopes: the Lilies over Duquesne were as good as down. In this brave and inspiring fashion was the bulk of tbe army drawn up In battle array near the Frazier cabin. There would be no fight, I said to tbe Onondaga. He muttered: “The man of the Wolves sees only red paint" I remembered my promise to the Dinwold girl, and as (here might be a skirmish between our rangers nnd the retreating enemy I went back to the wagons. She was waiting for me be­ hind the covered wagon in which Colonel Washington had overtaken tbe army. “We'll be in the fort before sunset.” 1 hurriedly told her. “I must get back to be among those who go ahead." “If I could go with you—" “Remember your promise," 1 rebuked her. “I have come as 1 said 1 would. Now do you keep back with the wag­ ons. There may be a few bullets fly­ ing about the head of the army. And .just why did you want to see me, little woman Y" She flushed and then lost her color, and whispered: “There Is a shroud around the man CromIL I wanted you to come back to see if one had grow^ about you.” 8be stared at me as if looking through me and at something far be­ yond; then she gave a little laugh and winked back the tears and in grea. relief murmured: “You have no shroud. Thank the good God for that The Onondaga—* “Put no shroud qn him," I hastily Interrupted. “For if you do, and be knows It, he would feel bound to get himself killed." “1 say nothing about the Indian. Kiss me, mister." That kiss was most unreal, Dke something happening in a dream, and yet I found It greatly to my liking; a fact that surprised me much. She was so abrupt in her demand—it was more that than an invitation—that 1 bad obeyed and was hurrying back to the Onondaga before I bad fully an­ alyzed my emotions. Round Paw spoke to me sharply, and I did not understand what he said. He trotted off and I followed him. “My white brother is as one who has talked with ghost*," he told me over bls shoulder. The order of marcb from the sec­ ond ford had the guides and engineers and six light horse following the scouts. Gage's detachment and the working party under SL Clair came next Some distance behind these last came tlie line, preceded by light horse with four squads acting as flankers. Then followed tbe sailors and a subaltern proudly leading twenty grenadiers, one twelve-pounder supported by a company of grenadiers. The vanguard proper followed, and behind it came the artillery and wugbn-tralns. and the rear-guard Flanking parties were out on both side*. I saw nothing of Cromit and had rime only to wave my bond to Busby before the Onondaga had led me around a bend In the road. At that time Genera! Braddock with tbe main army was well back toward ths ford, and the advance column of some three hundred men was well-advanced be­ yond a cross-ravine. Half-way be­ tween these two division* was another column of two hundred men. Had yre scouted tbe ravine it would pioneers to have taken possession ofc It Gage’s command had passed be­ yond the spot where the main battle tike clothes off any person standing just finished ascending the aecona gentle slope when the Onondaga gave an explosive grant seised my arm. and pulled me behind some trees. I stomach when the light is poked down the infant’s gullet to search for a tbe direction of the fort, but suppoe- . _ _ _ stopped a savage. But I did not believe the affair would amount to anything more than an ex­ change of shots between the scouts until I recognized Captain Beaujeu at the head of a mixed force of French and Indians. On tbe breast of bis fringed hunting-shirt was a silver gorget, a pleasing target bad I not emptied my rifle at tbe savage. A moment after 1 fired, Beaujeu halted and waved bls hat above his bead, and the Indians scattered to left and right. 1 would have believed the enemy was retreating bad not the Canadians and regulars remained to bold the road against us. While 1 was reloading, Mr. Gordon of tbe engineers came up and was the first of the regulars to behold the ene­ my. It seemed tn l>e a most foolhardy thing for two hundred Frenchman to dispute the Duquesne road against our proud army. I began to realise we were in for something morp than a skirmish when a heavy fire opened on us from ahead and from both rides. Round Paw and 1 both hugged the ground and retired to the right A terrific howling and yelling was started by tbe savages, a sinister chorus that encompnesed the road for some distance. Gage's troops seemed to be confused by the fiendish clamor and the. Invisibility of the foe. Tbe men staggered under the cruel fire, then rallied and began emptying their muskets in volleys. But there was nothing to shoot at except the slim French force ahead. Before they cotilfi fall back from the Jaws of the trap SL Clair’s working .force came up on the run to pile eonfurion on confusion. Guge felt the reinforcements behind him nnd ordered his men to charge straight ahead and eliminate the Frenchmen. Tne head of his column was speedily wiped out. and the rest were sadly staggered by the fierce fire. A gun was rustled up to support the pioneers, and at the third discharge of the piece, Beaujeu fell dead, dying gallantly as became a Chevalier of St. Louis. Captain Dumas took bis place, and for a while the fighting war stubbornly maintained by . both sides, with neither, apparently, securing any distinct advantage, but with the Eng iisb sustaining heavy punishment General Braddock persisted in sending heavy masses of men up the road, whereas be should have fallen back until he could have cleared the woods on both rides of the road. During this portion of the fight, the Onondaga and I shifted about and took turns firing, and taking care that one of our rifles should be loaded at all times. On three different occa­ sions we were charged by small bands of savages, but the second unexpected shot from behind the same tree al­ ways spoiled the attack and sent the red man back to where tbe killing was easier. Then Braddock’s mechanical dis­ cipline began to give ground before the marksmanship of the enemy. We sealed our fate by remaining astrad­ dle the ravine. Braddock, furious al­ most to the point of Incoherency, pushed Burton forward with the van­ guard, thus making tbe congestion worse; for the road was but twelve feet wide. Burton formed bls troops under a most galling fire and bad Just finished the difficult maneuver when Gage's foroes fell back rapidly to form be­ hind him. Then occurred the definite shift in our faring. We had been sustaining terrible punishment, the penalty of being caught in column, but we had the superiority of numbers to permit heavy Josses. But now the two regt monte became badly mixed and stum bled about In the smoke-filled road like sheep. There was smoke every­ where. The woods were choked wfth it, the road was blotted out at times by it Sheets of fire rippled along the very edges of the narrow way. The two regimental colors were advanced tn opposite directions. The officers were being picked off at an alarming rate, and the regular* had not been taught self-dependence. Some of the enemy's guns were thrust from tire foliage Into the very faces of tbe victims. There were many soldiers In that battle who did not see an Indian. Down the line they were delivering their fire at two hundred yards, thereby throwing It away. With tlie ancient forest closely hemming in*tbe rood, with no foe vis­ ible, the army wus os helpless ae a blind man. It has been repeatedly charged again Braddock that lie had no flank­ ers out on the Wednesday afternoon of July ninth. Such statements are untrue. We had flankers out a hun­ dred yards or more on both rides ot tbe army, but we did not scout tar enough ahead of tbe army. There was no ambuscade, however. Once the fighting commenced, the flankers were shot down by the haphazard vol ley* of our own artillery. How many Englishmen and provincials England killed that day will never be known, but the French and their allies ac­ counted for onljt a portion of our dead and wounded. ? As Round Paw and 1 fell buck ttirough tbe woods on the right of tbe road and rirted death at every step from the fire of our own men. I caught a glimpse of General Braddock. His horse was down and be wan striking a man with the flat of his sword to drive him from the shelter of a tree where tbe fellow had very sensibly with a fresh mount, just as young Wasbldgton. hare-beaded, hia eye* blazing, reined In hie frantic horse an* LOW PRICES Sweetheart Soap Chipso Baking Powder «■ Mason Jars 69* (re pkg Soap Chip* I8C 19* 25-o* z Bokar Coffee Tomatoes a lone Brand 3 Hardicater Ccutlle 15c Scot Tissue Toilet Paper Certo Jrll Ginger Ale ci„i etc Cigarettes 4 Popular Brandt Z7e 45c earton PAG, Crystal White or Kirk", Flake Bread ban Grandmother1* Twin Loot JETtoANTilC&PA£IHCK ESTABLISHED 1SS* loudly' urged, “Get them out o? this slaughter-pen I Into the woods!" “By G—d, I’m commander here, rirt They’ll fight here I We must ad­ vance!" roared the general, bls heavy face suffused with anger. "You d—d sheep, dose up! Close up there 1" Tbe last to a squad of men who were trying to tree themselves. And be was riding them down to get back Into the road to be slaughtered like sheep. Sir Peter Halket, who with four hun­ dred men was guarding tlie baggage With the Ancient Forest Cloesly Hemming In the Road, With No Foe Visible, the Army Was as Helplee* /rain, came through the thick smoke and yelled a request that the men be ordered to find shelter. “Damnstion ?" thundered the gen­ eral. “Did I lead bis majesty’s regof naked red beggars? Advance I We must advancer Then be was raging down on those delinquents, whose years ot training were being swept aside by the Instinct of self-prescn-ation. “Curee you! Get back there!" And tbe flat of bls sword beat them soundly over head and shoulder*. ^Washington wheeled, bls horse humping into Sir Peter’s mount, and either to that gentleman, or in apos trophe to the whole terrible situation, be cried: "By G—d I My Virginians shan't be slaughtered!" With that he was plunging through tbe smoke to the edge of the growth where Bound Paw and I, and some riflemen, were treeing ourselves. He shouted, “Captain Wag­ goner, tree yourself 1 Clear this side of the road!’’ Captain Waggoner raised his hand and penetrated deeper Into the growth. Eighty men, all excellent rifle shots, streamed after bitn. Tbe Onon­ daga and I kept abreast of the cap­ tain. He did not attempt to make bls voice heard above the Infernal din, but pointed to the rising ground, on the brow of which extended a fallen tree that must have measured at the least five feet in dinmeter. Once be­ hind that stout barricade I knew Wag­ goner's men -would soon clear that side of the road, and then could circle around the bead of the army and drive the savages from tbe terrible ravine. Now we were in the trap; General Braddock's solution was the only one. The army mutt advance. We lost three men by the enemy by gaining the bin; and then the crazy mob in the rood poured a volley into our rear that killed fifty men I A few remained on the hill for safety’s sake. The rest took their luck below In the woods, striving to keep on the outskirts of the enema s line. The Onondaga and I fell bf.ck. fighting from tree to tree and driving to reach tbe wagon train.

But tbe Dluwold girl was coo;>ed up inside the devilish circle nnd there are certain things a man must always da She was of my race and 1 was especially boun^ to find her. With the Onondaga tbe case was different He had a fair chance of winning clear of the terrible mistake, and I urged him to do so. He asked me if I would keep with him. and when I answered that I must find the witch­ woman he whooped hoarsely and took the lead in a line that ran parallel to the blood-soaked road. We heard the drums sound tbe re­ treat and knew that Braddock was dead or had lost his haughty pride. We heard the firing down the line as the enemy attacked Fialket's men at the baggage-train, and from the les­ sening volume of tbe return fire we knew our losses must be tremendous, or else the ammunition was falling. At the time Braddock ordered tbe retreat to be sounded only a third of the army was left We learned that much afterward. The smoke made It impossible to see dearly, and the indi­ vidual combats between rangers nnd savages served to confuse further our sense of direction. I remember the Onondaga giving a mighty grunt as be crashed bls ax through tbe bead of a Huron who bumped Into us. I recall mechanically staving in another red skull with the butt of my loaded rifle. And then to my surprise both ths Indian and 1 were in the road, surrounded by the dead and dying, and Qmse who.fired blindly, and more often killed a friend than they wound- '’These men are fools’" cried the Onondaga, dodging a blow from a musket swung by a madman. “The woods!

IDE MILE NEWS from the infinite nature in the course of There are romance and an Intangible solace for the "bigger than weather" in gray days and fiosty nights and the human frame seems to take new strength and life from the beating snow and biting cold. Man's spirit flourishes on combat and resistance. It Is die long winter night that puts iron back into northern souls and rescues them from the appalling pos­ sibilities of eternal summer. It is only during his periods of in­ dolence that the dweller in the tem­ perate zone sighs for the year of a single season and dreads the approach of the argent frost, the bleak winds of winter, the drifting snow and the icecovered rivers. But when the first blast of winter straightens his shoul­ ders. sends the worm blood coursing through his body and quickens his pace, memories of the summer sun vanish before anticipations of snug ov­ ercoats, blazing hearths, sound slumber under cozy comforters, roast turkey, pumpkin pies, whole evenings for read­ ing or repose and complete content­ ment. Fuel bills and shortages, anti-freeze concoctions, snow-covered walks, stall­ ed automobiles and uncertain condi­ tions overhead and underfoot are sure­ ly more than compensated for by the many blessings the temperate zone holds for its children.

Those who _ «-•-*can look at a brick and see a castle arc builders of a bigger and better world. To be serviceable an imagination must be exercised. Do you want a sug­ gestion? Look about you; a weed be­ comes an industry. If you want more encouragement turn to tyre classified advertisements and there you will find an ever changing department store full of them. The business manager advises you to read classified advertisements when you want a job, an automobile or a, candlestick, but these things are all at' the main entrance of the store. Visit the bargain basement and the upper floors where great treasures are stored: uncensored news of human activities, relative values in parallel columns, heart-throbs and character studies to educate and entertain. Best of all. however, is the stuff that keeps dreams alive. There are only three kinds of dreams —those that are forgotten, those that never change, and those that come true. Mount your wishes on thought and effort and they will ride to reali­ zation. Losses Can Be Prevented By Using McNaughton Curing System. Bean growers may insure themselves against losses at harvest time by us­ ing the McNaughton system of bean curing, according to crop specialists at Michigan State College. I Unfavorable weather conditions in many .sections are reported Ho have delayed the ripening of the bean crop, wiilch is apt to extend the harvest over into a period of inclement weather this foil. The McNaughton system of cur­ ing beans is deslgr-d to meet such conditions. Beans iiarvested by this method are pulled and rolled together into wind­ rows with a side-delivery rake. At intervals throughout the field, steel fence posts arc driven firmly into tlie ground. Enough straw to form a sixinch mat is placed around each post. The beans are then piled in stacks from tiirce to four feet in diameter and to a height well above the post, keeping the sides of the stacks vertical From eight to twelve of these stacks is enough usually to cure one acre of beans. Steel posts are recom­ mended but wooden poles may be used as long as they are strong enough to support the stacks. WED.-THVR.

Shows Symptoms of Hay Fever. We’re going to tell you about Bennie SIout and his Essex in just a minute. But in the first place we want to tell you about something else—regarding the "D. V. M.'s" It was for a long time after the advent of the automobile that a Veterinary Surgeon had rather an up-hill job to hold his own—with all the horses being dispensed with—and the cows and pigs being annihilated by reckless drivers. But at last it seems there is a new field opening up for followers of this profession. Now we are going to tell you about Bennie— and his car. Bennie started out a few days ago. with a tank brim full of gas. About a mile or so down the road his car commenced to cough and sneeze like it was coming down with hay fever. Gosh but that sure did worry Bennie— he had so much fall work to do he did­ n't want to have to take that fool car up above the Straits for a rest cure, but it looked for all the world like that would be what he would have to do. Next, the fool car laid right down in the road—all in. Bennie climbed out. scratched his head for few minutes, wondering what to do. On looking up he saw Doc Davis coming down the road in his direction, at about a thirty mile clip. Bennie gave Doc the sig­ nal to stop. It seems that Doc hap­ pened to be tn an'awful hurry this par­ ticular morning—a lady cow had eat­ en green corn, maybe, and was threat­ ened with an acute attack of appendici­ tis—or something else equally as bad. However when Bennie mentioned hay fever Doc consented to give his car the once over. After Doc made a thor­ ough examination, a grave smile sort of spread over his face and he informed Bennie that his fears were groundless. He told Bennie the reason the carburetor on his car refused to carburete was because it needed a good tonic, and he forthwith prescribed a good dose of about two gallons of gasoline. This made Bennie feel bet­ ter right away quick. Doc drew the necessary gas from his own tank and gave it to Bennie, we mean to put in hi* gasoline tank. Gosh. Doc was right, the car perked up and was soon running as nicely as when it left the garage an hour before. BUT. Doc had fairly gotten out of sight when that fool car refused to go again. Bennie cut a good beach sprout and war about to resort to a little manual labor like what his old school teacher ust to do when he was a youngster, when all of a sudden he happened to think perhaps GOVERNOR GREEN RELIES ON RECORD IN OFFICE. “In seeking re-nomlnatlon and re­ election as governor I am standing up­ on the record of my first term in of­ fice. I have refrained from making an active campaign in my own behalf, because the voters of this state are Intelligent; they know the record of my administration, and it speaks for itself. "During my first term in office I have endeavored to work only for the welfare of this commonwealth. Un­ der this administration, at my own re­ quest. the powers of the governor were curbed, in that a majority of it* mem­ ber* now rules the actions of the state administrative board. There has been established an adequate budget and accounting system that tbe state may live within it* means. “Taxes have been kept at a mini­ mum in the face of the General Fund deficit of *4.500.000 that existed when this administration took office, and a reduction of 84.000.000 In taxes this, (my second) year testified to that fact. Our system of highways has been ex tended and expanded, paying as we go. and seeing to it that the state get* 100। cents return for every dollar authoriz­ ed for highway work. “When this administration took of­ fice we were faced by a deficit which seriously handicapped the operation of the state government. I know it’ was not a popular thing to do to makeJ up this deficit through a direct tax; levy, but we did it as a matter of good[ business. Today Michigan is on a pay. as you go basis, as is testified by the, fact that in the last year, more thani *180.000 in cash discounts have beenl taken. "The 1927 legislature passed the, new criminal code, placing Michiganj foremost In the matter of legislationt to suppress crime. Teeth have been, put into our criminal statutes and the. thugs and gunmen driven from our. state. In spite of an 18 percent In­. crease In prison population, the num­, ber of paroles and pardons have been reduced 12 per cent. A life sentence, now for the first time in scores of years. means exactly what the words imply. State wards are now receiving the best attention In the history of the, state notwithstanding overcrowded con­ ditions in all institutions, which can only be relieved through extensive leg­ islative appropriations. “The present administration has. given to the working men a new com­' pensation law under which the min­. imum compensation for accidents has been Increased from *14 to *18 per., week. We have a new uniform traffic: code, a new codification of the school laws, a conservation commission which has a real program and is striving to­ ward a definite end; Juggling state funds has been ended; Michigan is the first State to have a law providing for the care of Its crippled children. "The tax payer has been saved more than *6.000.000 through the execution of a new contract with the Grand Trunk under which It removes its tracks to make way for the Wider Woodward Avenue Improvement This super highway, the construction of which has been hampered by numer­ ous legal proceedings, will neverthe­ less be completed in 1929. , “All records of the state have been and will continue to be open for pub­ lic Inspection at all times. “Michigan's blue sky laws are now being rigidly enforced. No longer is there a flood of worthless securities be­ ing offered the unsuspecting investor. “The day of the brick room confer­ ences on matters of state business has vanished. All transactions of our gov­ ernment are out in the open and the nubile Is always welcome to sit in on them. "Michigan today can boast of the highest type of men at the head of all state departments These appoint­ ments have been made, not because of nollticaL religious or personal reasons, but because of ability alone. There has been but one change in the head of a State institution since I assumed Ung ersd, bull. Sam Marahall. phone Hl. es. CLARENCE S. DARROW. The story of Clarence 8. Darrow, in brief, is the story of a boy bo-n in a small town, self educated, who by dint of his board humanitarianism and constant espousal of unpopular causes, rather than by his pelf or money mak­ ing propensities, has become known all over the world as one of the greatest lawyers America has ever pro­ duced. It is one of the most inspiring stor­ ies in the world, for Clarence Darrow s life has been a noble one devoted to fighting for the right as he saw It. irregardless of popular opinion and with no bow to Mammon For this great lawyer has come to the defense of many accused persons unable to compensate him for his services. He has always helped the under dog and those he has thought unjustly accused. Darrow loves to take up lost causes and win them. He has great personal magnetism and is a marvelous orator. He is popularly known as the lawyer who has never lost a case. This may be an exaggeration, but it is very close to the truth. Darrow was born in Kinsman, Ohio, then moved to Ashtabula. He early interested himself in politics, and in fact attention was first directed to him as the result of his political utterances. Shortly lofted the beginning of his career he had the opportunity of becomLig the lawyer of a great corporatlon; it would have meant a life of great wealth; but Darrow turned down the offer, as the handling of criminal cases appealed to him more. He want­ ed to be always In a position to help those needing help. Although he is retired now. Darrow Ls active id many ways and when a case particularlly in­ tcrests him. he forgets that he is retired and gets right into the fray. A bom fighter, with a great heart. Darrow's life is remarkable in that it shows us how a boy born in a small town, self educated, has come to be one of the greatest lawyers in the country through sheer native cleverness and kindliness. Darrow takes a liberal view on all public questions. and is even now In his retirement con­ stantly traveling and making speeches In all parts of the country. He is very active in a fight for the more lenient treatment of criminals, and is the moving spirit of the League to Abolish Canltal Punishment. It is Darrow's opinion that people do not commit crimes because they are bad. but because of their environment and mental and physical disorders He would have criminals treated as if they were HL rather than punished. Many of Darrow's ideas are un­ popular and considered impractical. but he has devoted his life to their furtherance with single-hearted devotlon. And as a result he has ge'ned universal respect as a fighter, orator. and humanitarian. The many great criminal cases in which he has figured prominently and brilliantly are too well known to be enumerated here.

Oklahoma. Texas and California came from spurts of black liquid from holes in the ground.

The following morning bright and early, we saddled the pack mules, and man­ aged to get under way at about seven­ thirty. and after about two hours of much shouting and excitement, we finally made our start in approved fashion, for although we commenced to move at seven-thirty, some of the mules wandered.off the trail, and we had a warm two hours rounding the beasts up. At about two o’clock that afternoon the rain commenced, and drenched to the skin in about fifteen minutes time, we gritted our teeth and proceeded to move onward, into tixe in­ terior, with Cnpt. Linscott, along with Mr. Englctson. our American guide, leading the way. At approximately six o'clock that night we parked along the trail with the rain still beating down from a tropical overcast sky. and had "corn-wilUe” and "hardtack” for supper. A diet that was fated to be ours for many a meal. Up before sunrise next morning, still wet and feeling mighty uncomfortable, we again hitched up the mules and plugged forward Into the Jungle. This day, the second day out. we commenced to get an insight of the jungle life here in the interior, for our eyes fairly were popping out at strange baboons, mon­ keys and parrots on all sides of the trail. It was truly an inspiring sight that met our eyes, for with us were boys from the country, and boys from the nation's metropolis: boys who in all probability less than a year ago never entertained a thought of being on such an expedition. Day followed day of hiking, the troll at times being a mass of mud and mire, and almost impassible in sections, but with the ' courage and stamina for which the Marine Corps is known all over the world, the boys kept plugging onward. Each night we camped by the side of some stream, or at times merely a tiny creek, and slept in some sort of thatched-roof affair slmillar to the native huts one encounters In Africa. On the trail every once in a while a pack would become loose and slip off a mule, end amid much merry exclamations of disgust, by a couple of disheartened Marines, the mule “would be —refitted. ““— and away he’d go. However ___ ___ _____ each night the boys would gather around the fire, and make the day’s trudging and toil a matter for light discussion. That’s the spirit that makes the Mar­ ie Corps stand out today as the great­ est Military organization in the world. for when the going gets the toughest, just smile your troubles away, that’s our^lttle secret of success. Wc es­ our little secret of success. We estabplles on the Cucaliya river about the Ilshed a base and quartered our supof men in charge. Just after leaving the base we encountered our first hill, and again we must say that this was in the form of the biggest hill we ever hope to see again, for it took us fully four hours ascending it. and three more to come down again. That is the most strenuous exercise that most of us have indulged in for some time, and if you feel that you have stamina to spare, why Just come down to this little Republic and climb hills for a couple of days, and you’ll be convinced that you have a long way to travel yet before you can do this exercise day in and day out for pastime. Well we finally arrived nt the mines about three days’ travelling from the base/ and to say that we were happy upon our ar­ rival is putting it mildly, for there are the finest bananas and pineapples that are grown in Nicaragua. However, af­ ter a person consumes a few meals of "comwfllle” and "hardtack.” almost anything would taste good. The first mine that we hit was the Eden, locat­ ed far up in the hills and it was a beautiful sight to our weary eyes with its immense groves of oranges, and fer­ tile soil. The mine Is bordered by mountains on all sides, and in the eve­ ning a lovely cool breeze comes sift­ ing from across the surrounding mountains. Here we were not bother­ ed by troublesome woodticks and fly­ ing ants. The woodtick is especially deserving of some adequate descrip­ tion. He is a tiny insect that has a habit of burying himself into your skin. However, after about ten minutes searching, usually with luck you can detect the thing and pluck him out af­ ter much difficulty,, but after that length of time has expired usually a half a dozen more of the pests have found quarters on your personage until you have to give it up in disgust and exclaim. "Let the darned things bite.” or words to that effect. From the mines, after about a two weeks’ stop-over, we travelled overland once more to Bokay, a deserted village, formerly occunied by the bandits. Here wc established another base and about a month later orders came via plane for us to proceed down the river to port. Wc were a happy hunch when they came and we got under way at once. Had a fine trip down the river by long-boat to Cape Gracious, and then by motor launch to Puerto Cabezas.. Right now we are resting up in port and anticipating another trip in­ to the hills again soon. Lloyd Austin. These are the cities and towns af­ fording advantages which advertlie themselves. . Good wages and employ­ ment are the "ore” and industrial and business opportunities are the "oil" that bring to these communities Dew citizens, new industries, new business and greater itfctoMltafc Every community has its “vein of gold” or. its “oil gusher,” but many, like Russia and Mexico, have failed to de- have slumbered, albeit fretfully, oth­ ers have been "prospecting" and broadcasting to the world the treas­ ures they have found. Community prospecting always pro­ duces “paying dirt". There is not a community not excluding the mightiest metropolis, that could not discover new mines and wells of community de­ velopment merely by a little digging and drilling. And Nashville has not yet reached the point where it can stop prospecting. BUY FROM LOCAL STORES The housewife usually regards the peddler who comes to her door as a nu­ isance. But half the time she en­ courages him by the upside-down pro­ cess of “buying sometiiing to get rid of him.” She finds it easier, in the in­ dividual instance, to buy a package of bad needles or a rubber apron which turns out to be a second than it is to listen to a stream of talk and force herself to argument as to why she should not buy. Yet if all the housewives of Nash­ ville were to unite in refusal to buy of the itinerant salesman for a year, they would find themselves left, long before the year was out, in peace and quiet to attend to their home duties without interruption and to do their market­ ing according to their own judgment. In one prosperous small city ofteh victimized by this type of person, the merchants got together and issued a statement which may well be heeded here: "Numerous complaints are being re­ ceived from housewives who report that they have lost money through purchasing merchandise from unknown house-to-house peddlers. Professional swindlers who go from city to city have victimized thousands of house­ wives. Merchandise is misrepresented and. if delivered, is often inferior to1 samples shown. Advance ■ payments1 are sometimes collected, the peddler' vanishes and the merchandise is nev­ er received. Investigate before you buy or invest' "Your responsible . local merchants1 support all civic and public enterprises, pay taxes for tho city's development and support and give employment to numbers of home-town people. You can always see them personally for the adjustment of any mistakes. "You are safe in buying from re­ sponsible local stores.” TRY NASHVILLE FIRST "Try Nashville First,” should be the .. . slogan of every citizen who wants to see this city progress. It is the community spirit that brings the citizenship closer together and eliminates the lines drawn by cliques. To accomplish anything for the good of the community a senti­ ment in favor of the proposed project must be created and it is easy to ere' ate this sentiment if the proper'com­ munity spirit prevails. The main object of this life should be to make the world a better place Ln which to HVe but this cannot be ac­ complished with a citizenship pulling in different directions. The lesser dif­ ferences should be forgotten when a project is put forth whereby the en­ tire community will prosper and be benefitted. If every citizen of the community would get together and eliminate minor prejudices, work with but one object in view and tnat to moke Nashville the best little city in which to live, the things accomplish­ ed would form a monument to the present generation that would live through the ages and be an inspiration for future generations to continue the good work.

Roy Hoffman, one of the organizers of the American Legion, a General commanding front line division in the World War, and president of the re­ serve officer's association of the United States, says: “The American Legion is a tremend­ ous power for good in this country. It was organized primarily for the pur­ pose of providing for the wounded and stricken soldiers of the World War. their widows and orphans. "At Its inception there was no law to care for the helpless soldier returned to civilian life, or his dependents. There were no hospitals and no place to treat or care for our sick and wounded, It has built hospitals through­ out the country, providing more than 30.000 beds. "The Legion has originated and crystalized into law all the soldier rem­ edial legislation upon our statute books. It has by law provided help for more than half a million stricken soldiers. It has rehabilitated and re­ stored to gainful methods of earn­ ing a livelihood more than 100,000. It in part the wrong perpetrated through favoritism, discrimination, exemption "The Legton will never quit, either, until it has enacted into law the gen­ eral bill, which places labor, capital and man power upon an equal basis in emergency, declares every resource of the country subject to order, and takes the slacking and the profit and "It has raised an endowment fund, is building homes and is caring for the orphans of those who gave their lives in service. It has with wire foresight presented to Congress such Just and wholesome measures as have received its sanction, to the end that the Amer­ ican soldier is now provided far better than the soldiers of any other war either in our own or any other country, at any time, in the history of the world. It is continuing with a watch­ ful eye to see that the country takes care of those who stood up for it when it needed men. All this is but a small part of its program.

And the trees have a golden glow; Then in sleepxl'm often dreaming. Of the days of long ago. And I sec in golden colors, Many picture* bright and grand. Of the many days I wandered In the rugged wild north land. Now I'm standing on some mountain. On some mountain tall and grand; Now Tm drinking from some fountain. Springing from the rocks and sand. Now I've met a friendly Indian Who has wondered from his band; And he’s trying to tell me something By the motion of his hand. Now I’m sitting by the campfire. With my part now dead and gone, And we're telling pleasant stories. And we're singing happy songs. And we talked about the morrow. WUJ it be fair, or will it storm? Then a sleepy spell creeps o'er us. And we're wrapped in Morpheus' arms. Then I'm struggling in some valley, Then a valley filled with snow. And my snowshoes fail to tally As I think they ought todo. Now I see a wild deer standing. Standing In the drifted snow, And it's feeding from the hemlocks. From the branches bending low. Now I hear a partridge drumming. On his favorite sycamore. And the angry wolves are howling. On the lake’s far northern shore. Now I think I hear that river Flowing by my cabin door. Just as plainly as I heard it In those days that are no more. Now I'm floating down the river. Drifting down the river "Pine”, Not a sound to break the stillness. But a chattering porcupine. Now I’ve woke up in my cabin And the pleasant dream is o'er. The fire, it needs re-kindling. But I'll say a little more. There's a charm about tall mountains, Beautlfylmr this world of ours; We're charm'd when birds are sweetly singing, In the shady leafy bowers. Oh, there’s a charm about a forest.

I like business because it is competi­ tive. Business keeps books. The -books are the score cards. Profit is the mea­ sure of accomplishment, not the ideal measure, but the most practical that can be devised. I like business because It compels earnestness. Amateurs and dilettan­ tes are shoved out. Once in you must fight for survival or be carried to the sidelines. I like business because it requires courage. Cowards do not get to first I like business because it demands faith. Faith in human nature, faith in one's self, faith in one's customers, faith in one’s employes. I like business because it is the essence'rof life. Dreams are good, poet­ ical fancies are good, but bread must be baked today, trains must move to­ day. bills must be collected today, pay­ rolls met today. Business feeds, clothes and houses man. I like business because It rewards deeds and not words. I like business because It does not neglect today's task while it Is think­ ing about tomorrow. I like business becau-e it undertakes to please, not to reform. I like business because it is orderly. I like business because it is bold in enterprise. I like business because It is honestly selfish, thereby avoiding the hypocrisy SHE HAS HEARD THAT— and sentimentality of the unselfish at­ titude. If a girl happens to look at the new I like business because it is promptly moon over her right shoulder, let her penalized for its mistakes, shiftless­ broadcast: ness. and inefficiency. I like business because its philosophy works. Who my husband is to be; I like business because each day is a The color of his hair, fresh adventure.—William Feather.

I recovered from my wounds and became active In preparing a defense against the red swartna we knew would soon be upon ua As rapidly as possible a string of forts was built from the Delaware and Susquehanna to the Potomac There were Fort Bedford at Hea's Town. Fort Ligonia on tbe site of the old Indian town of Loyal Hanna in Westmoreland coun­ ty, Fort Loudon at the foot of Blue mountain. Fort Lowther at Carlisle and Chambers’ fort a few miles west of that town. And there were other forts, as well as numerous small blockhouses, erect­ ed during the next three years. For two months after the battle of the Monongahela we worked feverishly, taking advantage of the brief period the Indians required to convince themselves that the war path to tbe east was unobstructed. Then thedtorm began to break. The first blow struck by the raiders was in Cumberland county, and soon the ax was taking toll on the Susque hannu. A large body of Indians camped thirty miles above Harris ferry and killed on both sides of the river. Tn October a mixed force of French and Indians was burning and scalping within forty miles of the ferry. Settlers were frantically flee­ ing to the east, or doggedly fori Ing themselves on learning that escajM1 was cut off. I went out with fortyfive men from the ferry and helped bury fourteen mangled bodies. Great cove was destroyed. By December, the Indians were on the Lehigh behind the Blue moun­ tains, where they killed a hundred people and burned many cabins. Beth­ lehem prepared to resist an attack. At about the same time another band penetrated to the Schuylkill in Berks county aud did devil's work. For fifty miles around Easton tbe country was devastated. So widespread were rhe activities of the savages that hun­ dreds of jieople fled Into the Jerseys, some carrying their household goods and driving their cattle: others vain­ ly offering half of all they possessed in an effort to save something. ' It was a characteristic of tills on equal fighting that the Indians took but few prisoners. Thirty-six houses and the church at Gnndenhutten were burned, although Lieutenant Brown and u company of rangers forted themselves in tbe church and held It until It was fired. The Juniata was visited early in January and many people were murdered within two or three miles of Fort Patterson. Even tbe hack districts of Chester and Philadelphia counties were en dangered. and four hundred German farmers from the latter county marched Into Pliilnddphla dty and demanded that the assembly grunt them some protection. These settlers should have remembered how men of their race defeated Joseph Seely. Berks county candidate for sheriff. In the October election, because he favored military training. Throughout the winter, the savages continued very active, which was un­ usual. us during the snow months the frontier always had experienced a re­ lief from attacks and had slept sound ly. The woods from the Juniata to Shamokin were filled with ferocious red men, who killed and burned. In the latter part of the month a bun dred Indians at Kittanning, includ Ing not a few who had been loyal to England until the defeat on the Mon ongahela. left to raid the Coocoche ague settlement* and forts Shirley and Littleton. I was one of those who rode ahead to spread the alarm, and I experienced enough thrills to last me several lifetimes. And so the bloody story might go on through volumes. Settlements in flames and the rough roads crowded with terrified Tamil lea. Scarcely a night could one scan the horizons and not see the red flares that told of some cabin or hamlet being wiped out. Not until Gen. John Forbes' ex­ pedition In the summer of 1758, when he marched to Duquesne with fifty eight hundred men and a thousand wagons, did we begin to have a rest from the butcheries. But General Forbes wouM have nothing to do will, the Ill-fated Braddock road and wise ly followed tlie central path through Carlisle. Shippensburg, and over Laurel mountain. The long rifles were proving their worth and were soon to take ^unadji from the French. During all this strife and these mis erable scenes. I endeavored to do my share in exacting a penalty from the red men. For two weeks I worked with Captain Jack, the Black Hunter of tbe Juniata. But when that river was harried he became such a mad man and wouhl take such foolhaidy risks that I left his band. Yet we made some rare killings tn the short The danger was never so great. the Dinwold girl. In my dreams Economy and Service This combination ESTABLISHED 1859 the throughout nation!

So there was never a day, when I was meeting with some one new, that I did not make diligent inquiry for her. But so many families had been ex­ terminated, so jnany pedigrees ended, that only by chance could I hope for news from the witch-girl. An elfish boyish creature in reality, but my separation from her translated her Into some symbol of the border, some­ thing fearfully desirable. It became a mania with me to find her, and yet my place was on the frontier. On relief Bailies, on retreats and on scouting trips, I asked of all I met If they knew of one called Daniel Morgan. Some professed to have met him, but none knew about a young woman dressed as a man. At the end of my service with General Forbes I was as ignorant as to whether she be alive or dead as I had been when 1 recovered my wits at tbe edge of the clearing along the Allegheny, where the dead hung from the twelve torture-stake*. And 1 missed the Onondaga. God only knows how I missed trim and his brave heart when on some lonely faring. I missed Cromit In a leaser degree, and often wished his terrible bands could help me decide some uneven argument. Aye, 1 missed them.

But I, the last of the House of the Open Hand, had no desire to build a cabin and take root in one spot. The strtinge unrest, which had l»een only satisfied by the turmoil of border warfare, reduced me to a sad state of nerves. How conld I ever be content on one creek or In one valley, with the memories of the Monongahela haunting me? With the vision of ttiat small wistful face staring back at me, I rude a skeleton of a horse Into Carlisle. Perhaps It was a weakness of spirit that Impelled me to surrender to the sudden longing to visit my old home and once more look through tlie gate of my father's garden. I scarcely re­ member my mother, but perhaps this longing wa* the divine calling of the maternal In me. Like my horse, I was scarcely more than a skeleton. I borrowed a suitable horse of a stranger and did not marvel at bls trust tn me. At times I assured my­ self It was but a whim, that I would soon be doubling on my tracks and seeking service In the north; and yet I rode on. The memories stirred up by the Jour­ ney were painful. Unlike that other visit, the Onondaga was no longer my companion; and yet at times 1 fancied jfe walked at my stirrup, his chest snowing the fresh white paint of the round paw of the wolf. In my more rational moment* I felt old and out of place. It was when I brooded over the witch-glri’s disap­ pearance that I felt a great empti ness of heart which made all the plans of you’h but little account. 1 had no wtah to look on Josephine again and tell her poor Bushy** farewdH message; and yet something drew me to the town. I followed the roundabout Susque hanna road and passed by the ruins of many a cabin. It was not the most direct route, but It pleased me to fool myself with tbe thought I would never continue as far as Alexandria. astounding thing happened to me and expelled my apathy and left me quiv­ ering with a new purpose. The On- ondaga would have sajd it wss my orenda working for me. A white man would have said It was luck.

TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL I noticed "Pike" printed an item rel­ ative to Frank Helm and myself play­ ing with the Hastings band for a Methodist excursion* some forty years ago. Now I have a story about Frank Helm which I might as-we11 play up at this time, since he was a veritable vir­ tuoso tn band music. What little he didn't know in that line must have been picked up in later years by the Jazz juntas. Unquestionably,. he was one of the best E flat cornet players in that, section of the state, and when he wrapped his large and supple fin­ gers around his instrument all you could see of it was the bell—and what golden notes of harmony came forth from that small “flare.” His silver pocket cornet was said to be the small­ est in captivity. Frank was the leader of the first brass band I was ever permitted to play in. J. W. York of Grand Rapids used to supply us. at a price, with the latest selections. I’ll admit musical hits didn't come so fast as they do now, but they lasted a great deal longer. I recall a certain band prac­ tice night when Charley Raymond, by mistake, was given the bass drum part of a new march called. "Telephone." Charley was one of the best tuba play­ ers in the country, and could read the most difficult music at sight—most of us had to take several squints at IL So when we started oft on this new march Charley umpah, umpahed clear to the trio before Helm stamped his foot for silence. It Is impossible to run the chromatic scale on a bass drum and that's why the notes appear on the staff in the same position. So Char­ ley's offering, taken in connection with what the rest of us was contributing, sounded very much as though someone had pulled the plug in the bath tub after haring taken his ablutions. Fact. I heard Paul Whiteman play “Muddy Waters". and it reminded me very much of tbe "harmony" we got out of that "Telephone” march when; first we tried to get a connection. But I will always believe that it was Charley's playing that march all on one open note that gave Frank Helm the idea which later helped us out to th* cold winter months. A band serenade those days followed a wedding as natural as rice and old shoes. Why. one time when it was whispered that our organization was going to disband several couples hurriea up the ceremony. A piece of wedd­ ing cake under their pillows, and the Nashville cornet band under their win­ dow produced such pleasant dreams that the happle couples never forgot them. The months of led roses were very pleasant for serenading purposes, but when It came to the cold months of red noses it wasn't so good for us musicians out in the frigid and niveous atmosphere. The valves of our instru­ ments would start to freeze up. and the p-e-e-e-up of the slow-acting pistons was very *' we „ would some cold wedding nights , start out with the whole instrumen­ tation and it wouldn't be long before everything would be glaciated except the the bass drums and ■* “ “ clarinets.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla. That the kind of advertising that gives real service to both the buyer and seller is newspaper advertising. That the modem stere is a store of service; It serves the whole communits’. That stores that do not advertise do not serve their community. That communities where the business men do not use newspaper advertising are the communities where the mail order house sells the goods. That it is never too late to make a start on the right road. That those whc. have not been adver| tising had better begin at once. That good advertising increases I turnover. That It lessens selling expense. That it moves stocks at a time when they should be moved. That it moves shelf-warmera and keeps stock up-to-date. That live business concerns adver­ tise; dead ones don’t—be a live one! Everybody reads the newspaper ads; they like to buy from live concerns.

They are vague and Indistinct, yet rent The fading of summer Into fall resembles the subtle changes that overtake one at middle life. In that it is slight, gentle and unobtrusive. There is a little les­ sening of vision, and the eyes are weary alter extended reading, tto comes the resort to spectacles, not of course that they are really needed, but as "an aid to reading, a preventive only." There is a slight slowing up of physical activities, a resolution not to overwork: a feeling that one has earned the right to slacken the pace and relax a little oftener. Yet there Is still zest in living, and charm and color and melody continue to allure. Thus slowly, almost imperceptibly, but surely, comes the knowledge that one has reached high noon, and the shad­ ows must of necessity lengthen toward the East. It is in the month of September that summer fades into autumn. The tok­ ens at first are not numerous, but they arc there. Something in the air is alien to August, a-certain crispness that Is tonic. There is a slight haze on the horizon. The greenness of the earth and trees is subdued, and there are faint tints of brown appearing here and there. There is a shimmering and shriveling in the corn fields and the process of ripening is quickened daily. A few of the birds have already answ­ ered the call of the Southland, but many linger to gladden the eyes of the wayfarer and cheer his heart. Win­ ter still seems a long way off and It in good to know that between Septem­ ber days and flurry of snow are the flaming splendors of October. September is a month that has much to offer to those who are In love with life under the open sky. The days are cool, but not too cool for comfort. The rays of the sun are genial, but not unpleasantly warm. The early morn­ ings are bracing, and the early even­ ings have in them a quality of dreamy ardor. The leaves are falling, but not in profusion. Summer fades slowly, almost as Imperceptibly as the charm of a beautiful woman In her early forties whose eyes are still eloquent, and with healthful fervor undlmlnlshed. Such Is September, standing mid­ way between the purple maturity of midsummer, and the old gold and crimson of the crowning days of au­ tumn. THE SABBATH SCHOOL. Today the Sunday school, contends with competition undreamed of In old­ en times. Indifference to church and religion, the so-called waning power of parental authority, the automobile and Sunday trip, popularization of the vacation, the hot weather exodus from city and town, and the gradual break­ down of old traditions of Sunday ob­ servance. Inroads upon attendance from these causes arc most marked during the period of hot weather, the best evi­ dence of which is the high tide of at­ tendance which annually begins to flow about this time of year, not to recede again until the return of summer. Roll calls in the Sunday schools on these September Sundays show that the period of desultory attendance is at an end. Teachers and students are pouring back into the Sunday school classes eager for an opportunity to teach and learn. These seasonal'fluctuations in atten­ dance and interest cause ministerial and lay workers to inquire whether the fault all lies with factors outside the Sunday schools Some are asking if the schools are doing all within their power to counteract these destructive elements. Is the Sunday school keeping, pace with human progress? Is it working with modem equipment? Has it de­ veloped as rapidly and intelligently as the public schools? These are some of the questions being answered, and which must be answered before summer attendance again approxi­ mates that of the period from late fall to early spring. Those men and women upon whom rests the responsibility of imparting to Americans both young and old a know­ ledge of religious teachings and lit­ erature will solve this modem problem, though the task before them may not be less formidable tiian that approach­ ed by those who laid the foundation stones for this vast system of Sunday schools. make ashamed to exhibit their craft before a feminine audience.

The same old story! CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT. Lansing. Sept 17—State Conserva­ tion Department employees have start­ ed live, trapping of ducks at the Munuscong Game Refuge, which is a part of the Munuscong State Park on the St Mary’s river in the Upper Peninsu­ la. The St. Mary’s River is one of the main flyways for waterfowl bred in the far north as well os being the breed­ ing ground for many Michigan ducks, especially the black mallards. Untold thousands of ducks reared in Canadi­ an marshes, presumably from Hudson Bay to the Peace River district, come down this Michigan River to Lake Huron and there the flight presuma­ bly aplite, one branch following the north shore of the Great Lakes and the other the south shore. The latter stream passes down to Saginaw Bay, through the Detroit River and here again the ducks divide, one portion presumably working eastward along Lake Erie and Ontario to the Susque­ hanna River and Atlantic Coast, while the other Division goes up the Mau­ mee River to the Ohio and thence down the Mississippi to Louisiana and the gulf coast. Very little Is known with certainty about the details of this wild-fowl mi­ gration. In order tn do a good job of planning waterfowl refuges, propaga­ tion work and so on. it Is important to know the details of the flights of ducks that pass through the State and it is essential to know who is to get the benefits from operations Involving wa­ terfowl. It may be. for Instance, that a per­ centage of block ducks hatched along the St. Mary’s River marshes start moving south and east in August or early September and are out of the state before the Michigan season op­ ens. Again it may be that a consid­ erable percentage of deep water ducks, such as the blue bills, red heads and canvas backs, on their way south make only one or two stops In Michigan. Of the ducks which escape Michigan hunt­ ers it may be true that only a few re­ turn. On the other hand, it may be that many of the ducks raised in. or migrat­ ing through Michigan, would make long stops if they could find safe and good breeding grounds enroute. It is possible that a great many more would rest in Michigan and come down before the guns of Wolverine State sportsmen, if local breeding stocks were planted in marshes badly "burned out" by spring shooting in years past. The best and only way of getting de­ pendable information on which to base plan and practice is through the banding and release of hundreds of ducks. Aluminum leg bands supplied by the. United States Biological Sur­ vey are being used. It is expected that a fair percentage of these banded ducks will be shot and reported from other states to let the Department chart details of migration and find out what may best be done to help water­ fowl Increase and at the same time help Michigan hunters to get their fair share of the birds. This is the first year that the De­ partment has attempted such work. It is being carried out under Dr. Mlles D. Pintle, Ornithologist, who was re­ cently added to the staff of the Game Division. Small scale trapping and banding operations on wild ducks are going on at the Conservation Department Game Farm located near Mason. A surpris­ ing number and variety of wild ducks are dropping into the pond. Wild black ducks are now feeding with the green headed mallards, which were raised on the farm.

Nashville high was scheduled to play Olivet Friday afternoon at Riverside park. However. Thursday afternoon Olivet called up and informed Coach Struble that they were not having a team this year so it would be impos­ sible fir them to play. A so-called town team was then improvised to play the high school, and the game was played in place of the Olivet game. When taking into consideration the fact that there is only, one veteran in the line, Capt. McDowell, and that this was the first game of High School football for 7 of the men, a very fine showing was made. A long pass. Williams to Nelson, and a line plunge by Tieche accounted for the high school's six points, while the town team made their touchdown on a lucky break when Greenfield picked up a fumbled punt and ran in for touchdown. * The game Friday gave Coach Struble a line on the material that he has to work with, and it Is expected that the next week will be spent in intensive practice preparatory for the Hastings game Saturday. Nashville beat Hart­ ings last year, the first time in ten years, and Hastings is out for blood this. A good game Is expected. The more Nashville people at that game the better.

Later to bed Saturday night than usual, up at dawn Sunday morning, they are off for a strenuous outing, with the heart still on the jump, pump­ ing almost three ounces of blood at each beat .' And this little organ, through which all the blood of the body passes in three minutes, pumps each day what is equal to lifting one hundred and thirty tons one foot high, or one ton ana hundred and thirty feet high. When exerted, its burden is even greater. Is it any wonder that It tires and stope suddenly tn mid-life? Is it any wonder that the doctors are alarmed? To preserve health and enduring strength, and to get the best there is In life, make haste slowly. This can be done by getting sufficient sleep and rest each night If you do this; provided your heart functions normally, there will be less liability of collapse when all your strength is needed to carry you safely over some unusual crisis.

HE National Industrial conference, meet'ng recently in New York, was advised by Charles EL Herty, adviser to the Chemical foundation, that the annual loss in the United States through sickness, accidents am! deaths Is >15.000,000,000. How much of thia vast sum to at­ tributable to loss caused by death may be a matter of conjecture, but Is it not fair to assume that the moot at It is due to avoidable accidents and sickness? An ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure. It seems easier to be­ lieve this than to practice it. A per­ son at fifty faces an imperative op­ eration. It doubtless could have been avoided had preventive measures been adopted. An annual physical ex­ amination, even more thorough than for a life Insurance policy, is a wise precaution. Why not pay physicians for keeping ns well Instead of waiting until it Is too late before we summon their services. “Safety First," a pungent American slogan. If applicable to health as weh as to accidents. The best form of au­ tomobile insurance can be acquired by the owner himself. It Is safety first The majority of accidents could have been avoided if the slogan had actual­ ly been put into practice. If “Safety First" was universally adopted and applied as a working principle, the annual economic loss due to sickness, accidents and deaths would be much less than >15,000,000,000. Economic loss Is not so serious as the loss of enthusiasm and ambition. Nothing succeeds like success. "Safe­ ty First" Is a sort of warning signal —to go just so far and no further. There Is no short cut to the realiza­ tion of any goal. Play safe and we shall the sooner arrive holding in our hand the shin­ ing prize—the realization of our drcams.

This Is a common belief all over the country. It Is a survival of a belief In chat mystic character which the andenta assigned to the bee. The bees sup­ plied the honey for the sacred mead which Odin- and hl* warriors drank so copiously In the ringing balls of Valhalla, being thua brought Into di­ rect contact with the gods of old. and Virgil, speaking of bees, says that they are thought by some to possess a por­ tion of the “divine intelligence.” The belief In the necessity of telling the bees when a death occurs In the house —Is a belief common all over Errope and stlil found existing occrslonally in this country. This custom prevails also among the Hindus and was a custom of the ancient. Greeks. *Beea then, are highly mystic creatures tn touch with the gods and possessed of a portion of the divine Intelligence. The breath was regarded by the an­ denta as the life, soul, spirit of a man. For, they reasoned, when the breath entirely left the body the man died. Now when a man exhales that essential spiritual part of his ego his breath, the sensitive and mystic bee. the purveyor of mead to the gods of Valhalla and the possessor of a por­ tion of the divine Intelligence, of course knows it at once—and algnlflea bls knowledge by stlngjpg. Whetb er the sting Is given as a warning not to let too much of the breath-soul es cade, or whether the breath-soul of a mortal is displeasing to the bee, ac­ customed to the divine afflatus of the gods.

That bees were regarded by the ancients as es­ pecially sensitive to the human breatl is shown by another superstition to the effect that they will not do well If too much talked about and refuse to thrive if made the subject of the slightest dispute. By Viola Brothen Shore FOP THE GOOSE THE PRINTER’S DREAM. Last evening I was talkin’ with a printer aged and gray, who told me of a dream he Wd, I think twa* Christmas day. While snoozing in his office the vision came to view, for he saw an angel enter, dressed in garments white and new. Said the angel. "Pm from heaven; the Lord sent me down to bring you up to glory, and put on your golden crown. You’ve been a friend to everyone and worked hard night and day, you have printed for many thou­ sands and from few received your pay. So we want you up in glory, for you have labored hard, and the good Lord is preparing your eternal Just reward." Then tbe angel and the printer started up toward glory’s gate, but when passing close to hades, the angel murmured. “WaitI I have got a place to show you; it’s the hottest place in hell, where the ones who never paid you in torment always dwell.” And behold the printer saw there his old clients by the score, and grab­ bing up a chair and fan, he wished for nothing more; but was bound to sit and watch them, as they'd sizzle, singe and burn, and his eyes would rest on debtors whichever way they'd turn.

Sandwiches made In layers and cut In slices are rnosf attractive and not difficult to make. A loaf may be prepared by remov­ ing all the crust, then slice length­ wise in half-inch slices. Spread each slice with creamed butter, on one lay crisp lettuce or thinly-sliced cucum­ ber, then a thick layer of sandwich filling; on top of this lay a slice of bread buttered on both aides; repeat with the lettuce and salad filling and top with bread buttered on one aide. Put under a light weight for a short time, then cut Into slices like layer cake. Different fillings may be used In tbe layers—one of cream cheese and mar­ (CosyrlsM.) aschino cherries or cheese and chopped egg, seasoned. A variety of color will add to the sandwich. . Salad Filling for Sandwiches. Take one large can of tuna fish, one cupful of finely cut celery, one-half cupful of stuffed olives cut into piece* and enough salad dressing to moisten. Cream Cakes. These mar be the cream puff va­ riety or a rich cream cake, using the following filling: Orange Filling. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and when well mixed add one cupful of orange juice, the grated rind of one orange, one cupful of sugar and cook until the cornstarch Is well .cooked. Add one and one-half tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one cupful of cream beat­ en until stiff. Fold In the cream and fill the cakes. Cover with: Chocolate Frosting. Melt one and one-half squares of chocolate over hot water, add onethird of a cupful of cream gradually, one egg yolk, one-half teaspoonful of butter and a pinch of salt Stir in confectioner’s sugar until of the right consistency to spread, then add flavor­ ing.

There was something reminis­ cent in the strong young face. He was quick to see me and my travel stained forest garb, and he called out over the beads of his audience: "Welcome, friend. You look like as you .was used to woods fighting.” “I’vo had my share of it; from Brad­ dock down to Forbes and ranch-in be­ tween.” "But you’re not through yet 7 Ycut tong rifle still shooter* "It still abootc. I am not through until the job Is finished." He pointed me out as a wholesome example, and embarrassed me by ex­ tolling my high spirit. Whereas I was sick of. Indians, sick of hardships. I had but one desire; to spread my blanket back of the Carlisle house and close to the sleepy lap-lap of rhe Potomac and rest there one night, and perchance dream of Busby and other playmates. I backed my horse away and waited until the young man had finished his talk and had secured half a dozen names or marks on his mus­ ter-roll. Then I dismounted and joined him and drew him aside, and said: "You’ll be Daniel Morgan, at one time a wagoner in Braddock’s army ” “Dead center. But I don't know you from Adam, friend. You have mighty little meat on your bones." “I threw you on to a horse at the lower ford of the Monongahela on July ninth, three years ago." "H—1! J remember. The man fightIng beside the tall Injun P* “There was a young person with you—” “A gal in breeches. Elsie Dinwold, she gave her name. She had the grit of any man I ever see." “Had?” I repented, a deathly faint ness stealing through my gaunt frame. “And still has. I’ll guarantee, if siie’s kept out of danger and didn’t git sculped. Lord! But she did try desperate hard to git off that boss and git back to the fighting!” “Man. where Is she? Where did you leave her? Why don’t you say something when you talk?” I cried. And I placed my hands on his shoulders and shook him. He grinned broadly and showed no | resentment at my manners'. “Where she is 1 cannot say. Bur she went to Alexandria. I gathered I from her talk—and she talked mighty j little—that some one she used to ] know, and liked a heap, lived there ' once. But you’ll be signing up as a rifleman for northern work?" 1 mounted before bothering to answer him. Then I called back: “That must come laterx I must fin tab a Journey first" And though it was dark and my horse was weary I rode on. . A skeleton of a man on a worn out horse. No leisurely riding now I would not have eaten, nor slept if not for my mount I had but one de­ sire—to strike into the old postroad and finish the distance at a smash­ ing gallop. Tiie poor brute was bad­ ly used uix.whcn I did leave Shooter's hill behind me I reined in. Now that I had arrived and would soon know all. I experienced a strange timidity. Three years had passed. No •"idlers now enlivened Alexandria; and I knew tbe drowsy calm of the town would never suit her. She had gone away long before this; or—and this was a most disturbing thought —she had found some one who up predated her. and had married. Be­ yond all doubt she had come to the belief that I was dead. Now that I had talked with young Morgan I could not forgive my stu pendoas folly in neglecting to seek her on the banks of tbe Potomac. Yet I had reasoned logically enough —she was never one to seek refuge In Alexandria. She was boro of the frontier and border blood was in her veins. She would feel as much out I of place in Alexandria as the fair' Josephine would feel on the lonely I shore of the Monongahela. I clucked to my horse and I rode down the King's road, and the dust scuffed up by my tired mount's feet lazily drifted on to the meadow grass and settled and spoiled Its sheen: just as it had wlien I watched the gren adlers march op the mme road on Braddock’s fatal business. The town had changed none. There were the name slim and fat chimneys the same quaint roofs of different patterns, and tbp double row or Lom hardy poplars before the Carlisle bouse. There were the windows of tbe bi oe-*nd-white room, where Brad­ dock had drunk his wine and rightly bad berated rhe colonies for tbeJr lack of seal. The new warehouse to Point Lumley, at the foot of Duke street, was complete and already showing the mellow Influence of the weather.

I dismounted to be less consplcu ous, end with my long rifle under my arm led my patient anima! to the House of tbe Open Hand. And here 1 received a sharp surprise. The garden beyond the gate was trim anc orderly. The fountain was cleaned out. and tbe yellow-topped mustard was destroyed. ’ The roof of tbe grape arbor had been repaired; and the grounds reflected the tidy content my father had so dearly loved. The place was Inhabited. I turned away, feeling greatly de­ pressed. Now 1 knew J had come on a fool's errand. The wltch-glN—a bit of thistledown before the wind— had drifted on. I had no heart to see the front of the house, and would have returned to tbe market-place to bait my mount and ride away bad not a woman emerged from the door to stare at me for a second. I was for hurrying on. but she called me by name and eame running after me m fust aa her flounces and petticoats would permit. Z3C* *A*** * K.C.

Mr. Hewitt will be back any time now. He rode to Annapolis.” So poor Busby's message would never be delivered. Relieved of that sad errand, there was no cali far me to tarry. I mumbled something about being In a desperate hurry, but she seemed to be possessed even to the point of unwomanliness. For she fairly danced before ma her blue eyes sparkling with mischief; and she Insisted: "You must come in. mister. You just must” "Why do you speak like that?" I whispered. "Why do you call me 'mister'?" And I grasped her hands and gripped them til’ her grimace re­ minded me I was not handling a red savage “No; I’ll tell you nothing out here In the road.” she cried. “A vestry man will be rebuking us. .Besides, It’s not comely that you should hold my hands.

And as 1 made down the hall I saw her hand traveling up the balustrade, dinging to it tightly to aid her weary feet. But sorrow was not for me this duy. I was selfishly alive with the joy of anticipation. I burst through tbe doorway as if pursued by Pontiac himself.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 27, 1928 VOLUME LVI °<T°G WORKING ^OLS* OF ^LIFE. Where Thomas Parfcey Passes Away Friday Afternoon at Home of Nephew, in Hastings Are All of the Nashville High Grads? School History Compiled by Mr*. FERN CROSS j E = Simiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiin Again we are called upon to chron­ icle the death of another one of our early pioneer citizens. Thomas B. Purkey, a man loved and respected by all who knew him. With each passing of these early veterans of Nashville’s growth from a wilderness, we feel an added sadness. We believe that Mr. Purkcy was the oldest in years of res­ idence in Nashville of those who are still living. Having during his active years of life worked at the mason trade, many of the beautiful buildings and stone work in our village were of his handiwork. During the past few years of his life Mr. Purkey has been spending his summers in’Nashville and in the win­ ter time lias made his home with his nephew. Charles Bacheller, in Hastings. About two weeks ago he was taken suddenly ill at his rooms in the Ellis­ ton residence, and was Immediately cn to his nephew’s home in Hast­ ings. where he was given kindly care and the best of medical attention, but it seems that he had reached the end of life's journey, and he passed to his reward late Friday afternoon. The funeral services -were held from the Methodist church of this place Sunday morning at 10:30. conducted by A. L. Bingaman of the Evangelical church, owing to the absence of Rev. Wright. Interment was made In Lake­ view cemetery, the Masonic rites being performed. Mr. Purkey had been a member of Nashville Lodge No. 255, F. «Sc A. M., for about fifty years. Thomas Betts Purkey. son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Purkey. was born Oc­ tober 1. 1846, Columbiana county. Ohio, and died September 21. 1928, aged 81 years. 11 months and 20 days. He was the fifth child of a family of six. three boys and three girls, five ot whom pre­ ceded him in death. Mr. Purkey's first sorrow in life was the loss of his mother when he was only six years of age. Shortly after the death of Mrs. Purkey the family moved to Iroquois county, III.. remaining there about one and a half years before coming to Michigan in 1852. The family first settled near where Chester now stands. In the year 1855 the family came to Castleton township and lived on a farm where the Martin school house is now located. In 1859 the family again moved, this time settling on the farm just north of town, now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Verdon Knoll It was here that Mr. Purkey grew to man­ hood and watched the steady growth of tbc town he has loved so well, and here he spent the greater portion of his life. In the year 1879 he was married to Miss Bertha Brumm. To this union was bom one son. Ray. who died at his home In Detroit about three and a half years ago. Mrs. Purkey died in the year 1893. Shortly following Mr. Purkey's marriage, he bought a piece of land south of the present school building, where he built a fine home and lived for about fourteen years, un­ til the death of his faithful wife. As we have stated. Mr. Purkey was a stone mason by trade. His first job of plastering was done for L. J. Whee­ ler in the house now known as the Offley property cm the east side of State street. Other buildings that are the fruits of his handiwork are the Methodist church, stone work, brick work and plastering on the old school house which burned, the bnck work on the store buildings owned by Bera & Sons. Smith’s building and adJolnlng meat market building. Farmers Ar Merchants old bank building, the two brick store buildings occupied by Frank Coley and the A. & P. Tea Co., and many other buildings. Two years of Mr. Purkey's life, the vears 1875-76. were spent In California, and in the summer of 1895 he spent six months, prospecting In Alaska. Mr. Purkev was a member of Nash­ ville Lodge No. 255. F. A. M.. from which order he will be greatly missed. Until the very last few months of his life few were the Judge meetings that he failed to attend. He leaves to mourn his demise, two nieces, three nephews and a large cir­ cle of friends. TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL Among the many old-timers with whom I came in contact in my early years was A. L. Rasey. He was the Destiny that shaped one of my ends, and he did not "rough hew it” as some barbers might have done. He commenced cutting my hair when it was necessary to heighten the seat in barber chair by the addition of a small, carpet-covered wooden box. Al always recognised the Inalienable rights of his kid customer; "next" ap­ plied to them as much as to the older heads who were badly in need pf his expert serivces. I don’t imagine he remembers the time a travelling man rushed in his shop and attempted to pre-empt my "chance." Al politely explained that I was the next man. The fellow yielded with so much ur­ banity i told him to go ahead and I would drop in later. No one had told me I could get a hair-cut, and I didn’t have a cent in my pocket. Half an hour later I drifted into ’,our" grocery and observed a stranger having some kind of a conference with my father back at the desk. I butted in and asked for some money to get my locks shorn. The stranger smiled all over, reached into his pocket and held out a silver dollar. Al had fixed him up so nice that, at first, I did not recognise him as the man to whom I liad sur­ rendered the barber chair. However, I recognized the ladj' on the dollar and took her in. He explained to my fath­ er what it was all about and I was per­ mitted to keep the money. He was from the Putnam and Brooks com­ pany of Grand Rapids, and had made a special trip to close a deal with my father for several tons of maple sugar. A maple caramel was the last word in confections those days; stick candy was about the first There was i gov­ ernment bounty of two cents a pound on maple sugar, and my father was •'official" weigher for the township. Several years later they took the boun­ ty off and the State put It on English sparrows. I had a very close shave in a train wreck a few years ago. that didn’t cost me anything from a monetary point of view. So whenever I journey by rail or air I leave the beard for any possible accident to fall upon. Seven years ago I made a trip to Ann Arbor, were still intact and my whiskers when I arrived. I started looking for a barber shop, and by the large num­ ber of long-haired pedestrians I ob­ served blocking automobile traffic it seemed to me that even a barber sign would fail—to draw much business. It was my first trip to the town in over thirty years and my mind wandereo back to the time when Al Rasey tonsored me for my maiden visit By maiden visit, I don’t mean to convey the idea he fixed me up like a sissy. No. he defuzzed my face, cut and annointed my hair. He took as much pains in grooming me as he ever did with Barry Goldust. and yet I was unable to trot in the three-minute class when I arrived in the University town. The only place they would allow me to show off was in contributing alleged jokes for the college funny paper. “The Ann Arbor Wrinkle.” I ran short paragraphs under the caption of ‘ Wrinkles,’’ and also a department called. "Snide Talks with Girls by Ruth Askmore”. a burlesque on a column in the Ladies’ Home Journal under the head. "Sidetalks With Girls By Ruth Ashmore.” I have written better than fifty thousand alleged jokes in the past forty years. They are gone from my memory about as soon as I write them, but If I should see one In print that I wrote even forty years ago. I would recognize it instantly. I would like to have Moran and Mack (The Two Black Crows) turn to the files of the Ann Arbor Wrinkle for 1889 and MAPLE GROVE FARMER I wqpldn’t wonder that they could PASSES TO REWARD. find some stuff to put In their second Dennis Ward.

SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 28 The initial step was taken in the adoption of the "Township Unit" school system in the village at the last regular meeting of the school board, when a petition was pre­ sented, bearing the namm of a number of the legal voters of the district. In compliance with the petition, the board have called a special meeting of Dis­ trict No. 1. frl., Castleton and Maple Grove townships, to be held at the school house this week Friday night at 8.00 o'clock, when a vote will be tak­ en on the proposed change. Every resident of the district, who Is either a tax payer or the parent or legal guardian of one or more children of school age, is entitled to vote at this election. At a public meeting held recently in the club rooms, the Township Unit system was explained by two represen­ tatives from the Department of Public Instruction, who gave it their whole­ hearted approval. Consolidation of schools is rapidly growing throughout the country, and is proving mutually beneficial to both village and rural patrons. It means lower taxes, better school, free transportation, federal aid, state aid on the cost of transportation, free tuition, etc., and while all of these benefits will not come in the first year under the Township Unit system, they will ultimately come, as has been dem­ onstrated in other communities where such systems have been adopted. We trust that every person in the district who Is entitled'to vote will rec­ ognize the importance of this proposed change and will be present at the meeting Friday night to register their opinion. The result of this election will have a very important bearing on the final adoption of this’ system. NASHVILLE P. T. A. MEETING The September meeting of the Nash­ ville Parent-Teachers association was held at the school house Monday even­ ing, with a good attendance, consider­ ing the Inclement weather. A very in­ teresting program was enjoyed, which opened with a short period of commun­ ity singing. The president, Mrs. Maude Wotrlng, gave a short talk, outlining the alms of the association for the coming year and the proposed programs. Miss Elizabeth Gibson rendered two pleasing piano solos, "Italian Vespers." by Logan, and ‘‘Stepping on the Ivor­ ies” by Johnson. Mrs. Ralph McNltt discussed “Play and Entertainment for School Chil­ dren." stressing the fact that physical exercise is recognized as an essential in modem schooling, and advocating the provision of suitable playground equipment and supervised recreation The assembly was then favored with a group of vocal solos by Miss Mildred Wotrlng, accompanied by Mrs. Dora Nelson at the piano. She sang "The Birthday" by Woodman. “A Little Star" by LaForge, and “Ho. Mr. Piper” by Curran. Supt. Prescott gave an Interesting talk on school matters. naming the school, church and the home as the Important factors in moulding the character of youth, and urging the co-operation of the parents with the local Institutions in accomplishing the results desired. He stated that a re­ view of the records showed that the Nashville school had been on the state accredited list continuously for the past 31 years. P. K. Nelson, president of the school board, called attention to a special school meeting to be held Friday even­ ing to consider the adoption of the township unit system. Before adjournment, an informal reception was held for the new corps of teachers, and light refreshments, consisting of ice cream and wafers, were served. C. OF C. MEETING. The first fall meeting of the Nash­ ville Chamber of Commerce was held Monday evening at the Masonic Tem­ ple. opening with a fine supper serv­ ed at 6.40 by the ladles of the Eastern Star. Following the feed, the gather­ ing was called to order by President Glasgow and a delegation from the Hastings Commercial club introduced. The visitors were M. L. Cook. W. L. Shulters and H. G. Hayes, and their mission concerned the proper explor­ ation of the oil possibilities of Barry county. Mr. Cook was the chief spokes­ man of the party, and he gave an in­ teresting talk about the Saginaw and Muskegon oil developments. Promi­ nent geologists are pointing to Mich­ igan as the coming oil center of the country, and to Insure the proper de­ velopment of this resource it is essen­ tial that work be carried out in a sys­ tematic manner. Briefly, the visitors suggested that It was time that Barry county took some steps to insure the protection of land owners and prevent Indiscriminate wildcatting in case oil should be found In this section. They proposed the appointment of commit­ tees from different communities to work together in securing leases on the farms throughout the county. With these in hand It would be easy to In­ terest seme reliable company to come Into the county and conduct a thor­ ough exploration, and if oil is found in paying quantities the usual specu­ lation would be avoided and the land owner assured of all possible monetary benefits accruing from such develop­ ment. The president appointed E. V. Smith. Menno Wenger and J. C. Furniss as members of the committee to take this work under consideration. LANSING PEOPLE INVOLVED IN “HIT AND RUN” ACCIDENT The vlclnty of Nashville seemed' to have its full share of accidents over the week end. and although none were fatalities, they were serious enough. Mr. and Mi's. D. L. Wing of Lansing received serious Injuries Saturday eve­ ning when their Reo coupe was hit as they were coming from Hastings, turn­ ing them over in the ditch. Mrs. Wing received a badly bruised back and hip, with slight cuts on the face. Mr. Wing was uninjured aside from facial gashes. The car was totally de­ molished. as it caught fire shortly af­ ter overturning. The driver of the car which struck them failed to stop, and the accident occurred so suddenly that they are unable to give much of a description of the auto. Immediately they were rushed to Dr. E. T. Morris' office, where first aid was rendered. Later they were taken to their home in Lansing by the ambu­ lance. This hit and run policy Is bad. to say the least. Accidents will happen to the most careful drivers, but it sure­ ly is the duty of everyone Involved to stop, and give their assistance in any manner they can. Mr. and Mrs. Wing had been to their cottage at Gun Lake, and were return­ ing home when the accident occurred. REV. W. J. ATKINSON IS NEW METHODIST PASTOR. The annual Methodist Episcopal con­ ference was held at Ionia during the past week, and the list of appoint­ ments shows that Rev. G. E. Wright, pastor of the local church for the past three years, has been transferred to Buchanan. Rev. Weight will preach his final sermon here next Sunday morning, and there will be no evening service. His successor is Rev. W. J. Atkinson, who comes here from Evart. Other appointments of interest to Nashville people are as follows: Vermontville—Clark H. Phillips Hastings—L. L. Dewey. Hastings Circuit—D. L. Kendall. Woodland—Frank Loomis. Boyne City and Boyne Falls—Wil­ liam Helrigle. Niles—W. W. Slee. South Haven and Lacota—G. D. Ylnger. WILL ROGERS SAYS: The voters now go to the polls in an automobile but they don't carry any more m their heads than the old tim­ er that went there on a mule, so the old Bunk that you cannot fool the vot­ er is the biggest Bunk there is; he has been fooled all his life and he will al­ ways be fooled. As the presidential candidate for the "Anti-Bunk" party I refuse to employ such old party campaign methode. I am Frank and Ernest. The politician tells the people that "I don't have to tell you people what our party stands for. We rely on your sober judgment. We rest our case on your intelligence." Then he goes on for two hours more telling them what his partj' stands for. I don’t care how smart their audi­ ence was. they couldn’t possibly know "What their party stood for." The Su­ preme Court with all its divided knowl­ edge couldn't tell you what either par­ ty “stood for." They both stand for “election." That's about the only thing that you can safely say they are for. in fact they will both "rtand for" almost murder, if they can only get In. We are more "smart Alec" than we ever were, but we are no smarter. We read more and we hear more over the radio, but the stuff we read, the stuff we hear don't make us any smarter. For the people that write it. and the ones that talk it out over the radio are no smarter than the ones that used to have to hand down the dope for our old forefathers. There is just as many half wits vot­ ing Republican today because their fathers voted that way as there ever was. There is just ns many voting Democratic because they have heard their folks tell about how the Repub­ licans treated them during the war. as there ever was. If the voter Is as smart as they say, why do they have to tell him anything, why do they have literature, and cam­ paigns. and speeches? Why does each party have to spend 4 million dollars trying to buy votes with propaganda? The oldest form Bunk in the world is to say how “Well informed the vot­ ers are and that they cant be misled by our opponents." We have bathtubs, airships, four wheel brakes, reducing pills, manicurists, men’s corsets, and Prohibition. But I doubt if at any time during the history of the world were we ever as down right dumb as we are today. —Will Rogers.

Later the new ballast is spread along the tracks, then a track­ raising device comes along and raises the track, rails, ties and all. so that the new ballast will make a gravel ted for the ties and track.

The ages have rec­ ognized this as an immutable truism, yet every age. including the present, has had its skeptics, its unbelievers, its seekers after fame and fortune without paying the price in work. Some sage has said that to attain success use half as much effort as you would exert in attempting to seek suc­ cess without work. There is much wis­ dom In the axiom that it takes lees mental effort to climb to legitimate success than to climb to an illegitimate success. Legitimate achievement re­ quires no fortifications, no protection. Illegitimate achievement demands more in its retainment than in its at­ tainment. It is a gross injustice to humanity to say that if there is any one thing, more than another, that enlists very much of the attention, time and effort of the people it is tn scheming and planning to get something of value for nothing. The number of society's par­ asites is large but the number of honest, hard-working supporting pil­ lars of society is preponderously larger. Obsolete saying: "Hqwdy, stranger, want a ride?” Heads mav be some thicker out In the sticks. but the milk is also. Dogs don’t seem so smart when you observe the kind of people they take up with. Originality: Doing what some other man did so long ago that people have forgotten. He Isn’t a born politician unless he thinks the first person singular is unanimous. You can’t make yourself happy, but any fool can avoid the things that make him unhappy. People of weak mind usually have the strongest convictions.—Merchants Journal and Commerce. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK. By Edson R. Waite. Shawnee, Okla. That If business men would use the Golden Rule as a dally guide in the conduct of their business, they would have greater happiness In their busi­ ness contacts and would experience prefound satisfaction. Selfishness In business ' is costing American business men a tremendous sum annually because it prevents that honorable and needed cooperation which makes ’ for economics, progress and better business methods. Competitors are laboring under bur­ dens which could be lifted in part or in whole if they would cast aside selfish­ ness. practically apply the Golden Rule and cooperate for their mutual good and the benefit of the public. The public is entitled to the best that is in the business man as well as to the best he has to offer materially, but does not get full value in the personal factor where selfishness casts its dark­ ening shadow and drives out the luster of the Golden Rule and the Ten Com­ mandments.

According to Mr. Livings­ ton, many installations of lightning equipment are improperly done with the result that the installation is worse than none at all.

The story was srenarized from the original play and set in elaborate rep­ licas of Austrian cities constructed at the studios. The following excerpt is taken from a letter written by H. H.

The plant was unroofed and the side of the building blown in and 31 windows tak­ en out. The machinery, stock and and everything stood out in the storm, but by Tuesday night I bad it covered over again and have the machinery nearly all cleaned up ready for business. We printed a paper on Friday as usual as we were obliged to get out in order to protect our legal notices of which we had many gunning. Over sixty thous­ and dollars worth of machinery and materials were exposed to the storm but we are glad we are living and In as good shape as we are. How much damage we had I have no idea as yet. but it will be a plenty. However. I wouldn’t give Florida for the whole United States and am going to fight the battle through.

Speaking of liquor—not as an issue but In a resuscitative sense—I have a • talc to uncork of the vintage of the middle eighties. Let It be known there was located on the "Brooklyn" aide of the town some mucky land well adapted for the growing of celery or onions. Celery at that time was in Its infancy and tiie taste for It also had to be cultivated, so the land was given over to the raising of the lach­ rymose bulb—a great cousin to hali­ tosis. The more muck-raking these onions received the larger and more odoriferous they became; just like any scandal you stir up. Now I can't tell you the names of the varieties planted In that parcel of muck, but they were as rank as "Smith's Varieties" .at Grand Rapids. Some of our local bald-heads used to cultivate them oc­ casionally. While the chorus girls of those days might have known their onions, those today certainly know their wild leeks. Anyway, an onion a day will keep both the doctor and the dentist awry. Tills onion patch v.-as located far from the seat of business, and just at the outskirts of the town. It was plan­ ted. weeded, hoed, thinned and har­ vested by one-of our most pious and devout citizens. When he was not la­ boring in the Lord's vineyard he could be found In the onion patch. The rains feU upon the just and the un­ just; upon the beautiful flowers and upon the onions, and so this man was blessed with a bountiful crop of sev­ eral wagon loads: What a shame that this lilaceous vegetable couldn't have been born a century plant. Be that as it may. the citizen was transported ov­ er the wonderful crop which was trans­ ported to his home In a wheelbarrow. He would pass our house early and late—wheeling. wheeling: always wheeling these onions. Napoleon died from the effects of eating fried onions; his shade would have met another Waterloo had it followed in the wake of this wheelbarrow. People going to and fro past our house couldn't keep the tears back: like mourners return­ ing from the cemetery. One day the citizen became so ex­ hausted that he keeled over onto our lawn. Onions to the right of him. on­ ions to the left of him, onions .in front of him rolled and tumbled. There the man lay at an angle of forty-five de­ grees on the terraced bank, seeming­ ly dead to the world. My mother saw 1.1m pitch over and ran out to render first aid with an ammonia bottle, but’it was useless—the pungent and graveolent effluvium tf the onions killed the virture of the hartshorn. Rush­ ing back to the house she returned with about five fingers of brandy in a tumb­ ler. Yes; we kept liquor for "slings'', mince pies and emergencies. After the citizen got the stuff u&der his belt he felt much better. Being strictly abstemious he had no more Idea of what he had been drinking than one does now. It was good stuff, it didn't destroy his eyesight or his foresight as you will soon see. It wasn't long be­ fore he commenced singing “Old Hun­ dred." which was about the number of loads he had wheeled. He picked up most of the scattered onions and went on his way as happy as a lark—his first lark. In about an hour he was back again with the empty barrow for another "load." This time he flopped nearer the front door. There was no one at home save the hired girl. She had witnessed his encore as well as the legitimate performance but was unable to locate the brandy bottle. Grabbing a class pitcher of well water she rush­ ed to the citizen's aid. He must have seen her first and wisely noted the na­ ture of the elixir, for he was up and on his way before she reached him. My father, on being told of the episode, remarked that it would be cheaper to hire Jonah Rasey to haul the rest of the onions than to keep buying brandy. C. W. Francis. REPORT OF PUTNAM PUBLIC LIBRARY During the month of Setember there were 519 books taken out of the library of which 51 were non-fiction. Two new patrons were added to the list which brings the total number of patrons to 1,010. Fines and book rents amounted to eight dollars and fifteen cents. Two new books. "Life of Herbert Hoover," by Will Irvin, and "Up From the City Streets" <life of Alfred Smith) by Hapgood and Moskrvitz. have lately young and old; besides these we also have a splendid variety of new fiction by well known authors. Lucy Hinckley. Librarian. Again the community is called upon to mourn the passing of one of our respected pioneer residents. A- R. Wolcott, who was nearing his 85th birthday and who had been the vic­ tim of gradually failing health for some time past, passed from this life early Tuesday morning at his home In the village, and news ut his demise brought an unusually keen feeling of sorrow. Mr. Wolcott had been con­ nected with the business life of the village for over lialf a century, estab­ lishing an enviable reputation for hon­ esty. Integrity and square dealing- He had seen the community grow from a mere trading point to the present pros­ perous village, and through his long years of commercial activities hud formed a wide acquaintanceship throughout this section. Funeral services wl 11 be held at the home on Friday afternoon at two-thir­ ty. conducted by Rev. Bingaman, with Interment at Lakeview cemetery. Mr Wolcott was bom Nov. 11, 1843, in East Aurora. New York, one of a family of eight children. When seven years of age. he. with the rest of the family, moved to Kingsville. Ohio, where he grew to manhood. He spent three years in the Conneaut Academy, ana later studied medicine under a practicing physician, but on the death of the doctor he gave up this course, and went to Jarrard. Pa., where he learned the harness-maker's trade. He came to Nashville in 1869, but falling to find employment went on to Hastings and entered the employ of Oliver Bailey, who conducted a harness shop. Returning to Nashville In 1872, he engaged in the elevator business, with John Marshall and George Gal­ latin os partners. Later he was as­ sociated with Henry Smith of Wood­ land and E. V. Smith, and followed this line until 1879. when he sold his Interest and opened the harness shop which he has since conducted, with the About a vear after coming to Michi­ gan. Mr. Wolcott was united in mar­ riage to Miss Ameda Green, who pre­ ceded him in death. Sept. 24. 1908. To this union two children were bom. Et­ ta and John, both of whom are living at home and tenderly cared for their father during his declining days. W. L. C. NOTES. The opening meeting of the W. _. C. _. was held at the Community house Tuesday with an A. B. C. luncheon by Division 1. at one o'clock, followed by a delightful program. It being an ideal autmun day many members were present. The room was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and flowers, and the tables were nicely ar­ ranged, centering around a huge bas­ ket of cosmos. The placards were quite original, consisting of the menu and decorated with tiny sprays of bit­ ter sweet uniquely tied with white baby ribbon, an appropriate souvenir of the occasion. Mrs. Daisy Lentz was hostess for the day and called the club to order at two o'clock for the follow­ ing program: Roll call—Where have you been?, as Mrs. Genevieve Maurer, Sec y, read the member's names. Each responded by telling about a trip they had taken. Mrs. Agnes Sprague, club poet, gave her pleasure trip in rhyme, and was much enjoyed. Some of the less for­ tunate ones were content to answer "present." The club then sang "Mich­ igan My Michigan." with Mae Smith at the piano and Mrs. Dora Nelson as lender. The hostess next announced the new president. Mrs. Villa Olin, who charmingly greeted the members with a few brief remarks. A piano duet was given by Mrs. Betts and Mrs. Smith who were given loud applause, and re­ sponded with a second number. Mrs. Mildred Mater delightfully sang a solo after which a travel talk was given by Mrs. Daisy Townsend, a former mem­ ber but now a resident of Ann Arbor. All were pleased to have Daisy with us again and thoroughly enjoyed her talk. It was her privilege this summer to take a trip tn Los Angeles, and by her detailed description of her trip, one could almost picture themselves as having been there too. At the close of her interesting talk she was pre­ sented with a little remembrance as a slight token ot our love and esteem for her. Tiie Woman's chorus then ren­ dered two selections much to the de­ light of their audience, and thus clos­ ed the first club meeting. MARS HALL-CONNERTON.

Thru the courtesy of the Eaton Rap­ ids business men all farmers in this vicinity were invited to a potluck din­ ner in their Island Park after which short talks were made by President R. S. Shaw, Dean J. F. Cox. Director R. J. Baldwin. all of the Michigan State Col­ lege: E. H. Anderson. Manager of the Agricultural Relations Department of the New York Central Lines; Superin­ tendent E. R. Bissell of the New York Central, and Superintendent D. J. Hackett of the Michigan Central. Following the short program the farmers all went thru the cars of ex­ hibits to see the new conveniences for the farm and to discuss their practica­ bility, cost, and upkeep. The three cars were neatly arranged with water systems, farm lighting un­ its with individual plants in operation, electrical equipment and appliances for the farm. An exhibit showing the old sewage dispose! system with a modern septic tank attracted considerable attention. Self feeders for chickens, hogs, and sheep were shown along with model bams, poultry houses and brooder house construction. A model cold storage cellar for potatoes also attract­ ed considerable attention. Lightning tod equipment was featured thru the use of an exhibit loaned by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture showing how a house is struck by lightning and how lightning rods properly installed pre­ vented it. One of the very interesting features for the women who visited the train was the model kitchen, arnnged by the Home Economics Department, Michi­ gan State college, with sink, table, stoves, cabinets, and electrical refriger­ ator all properly installed. The train left Eaton Rapids for Al­ bion and other Southern Michigan points for its 16 day tour. The train will be here Wednesday, October 10. from 1:30 p. m. to 4:20 p.

WILL ROGERS SAYS: You can't hardly get a man to do any thing for you these days In politics without offering him a Cabinet posi­ tion. I've been giving a mighty lot of thought to my Cabinet and I find that every rich man new pictures himself as another Mellon. The rich man used to think that he would be slumming if he mixed himself up with any of those Pumpkin Seed jobs. like a Cabi­ net officer, but Mellon stepped out and got so much publicity that all the rest began to think, “How long has this been going on?" I have made a lot of promises, J>ut they were only political promises, and I have no idea of keeping any of them. I can promise the best Cabinet ot any of them. Henry Ford would be my sec­ retary of the Treasury, he would make us forget that illuminum pays as well as shines, and os for Genera) Motors and Raskob and that gang, we would cut our profit to $300.00 a car and put them right out of business. Say. Ford could take our little dab of money, that our Treasury has. and let him handle it a little while and he would have us out of the Red by Xmas. And as for my Secretary of State, what’s the mat­ ter with using Coolidge? He knows everything that a Secretary of State docs and I believe if a man could get him he’d be worth the money. So with Calvin and Henry in there I got the nucleus of a pretty snorty cab­ inet. You see I am in a position to get the best talent available. I have no Campaign Manager to take care of. And there are no “president makers" in our Anti-Bunk party that has co be rewarded. I'm self-made. There is some fellow named "Vox Popull” or something like that, I don't know who he is, but I wont him for Post Master General, he writes more letters than anybody. —Will Rogers Friday. October 10.

The oil committee appointed last week by the Nashville chamber of commerce, comprised of Supervisor E. V. Smith. Mayor Wenger and J. C. Fumiss. together with M. L. Cook and Wm. Shulters of Hastings and G. D. Whitmore of Middlevine, went to Lan­ sing Tuesday and had a conference with State Geologist Smith, who show­ ed them state geological maps and data which he explained indicated the probable oil territory of Michigan. Barry county is well inside of this possible oU territory, and quite a num­ ber of Barry county farmers have al­ ready signed oil leases on their prop­ erty. This movement now being spon­ sored by the chambers of commerce and community welfare organizations In the county has for its object the protection,of Barry county real estate owners from the "wildcatters” who in­ variably invade possible oil territory and secure lenses at a very low price and oftentimes with catches In them which arc calculated to trap the unwa­ ry. These wildcatters never doanydrUling themselves or expend any money for development purposes, but sell out their leases to other companies and slip away with their profits. The movement which is now under way proposes to give property owners in the county the opportunity of knowing that their interests will be properly nrotected In case any oil development is made In the county, and the state geologist has promised to send copies of a lease which he considers will oroperly safeguard the interests of the land owners and give them such re­ turns as they should properly be en­ titled to in case oU is found on their property. Stranger things have hapoened than that an oU field should be developed in Barry Co., in which case a proper share of the profits should come to the peop’e who own the land, rather than have scheming speculators erab off a lot of the profits to which thev a>e in no way entitled. The "Wild­ catters" have been the bane of every new oil field in the country and it be­ hooves Barry county people to be on their guard against them. LOCAL DISTRICT FAVORS TOWNSHIP UNIT SYSTEM. At the special meeting of school dis­ trict No. 1, frl., Castleton and Maple Grove townships, held at the school house Friday evening ox last week, to consider the adoption of the township unit school system, the electors of the district registered in favor of the change by a vote of 122 to 103. The attendance at a recent public meeting, when speakers from the state depart­ ment explained the unit system, was rather light, and it is very probable that some of the voters were not thor­ oughly conversant with the beneficial features of the proposed change. Before a general election is called it is deemed advisable that the unit systern be clearly explained to the voters of the township so that they may vote intelligently on the proposition, and with that aim in view a local commit­ tee. consisting of Dr. E. T. Morris chairman. Chris Marshall. Dr. W. A. Vance. C. A. Lentz, E. L. Kane and H. D. Wotrlng. has been appointed to ar­ range for meetings in the various dis­ tricts and have representatives from the department of Public Instruction present to explain in detail the town­ ship unit system. WIDOW, AND MOTHER OF EIGHT CHILDREN PASSES ON. Mrs. Colle Davis. who lived four miles south and one mile east of Nashville, passed away at her home Sunday, after an illness of several weeks' duration, at the age of 57 years. Mrs. Davis was a former Maple Grove girl, and lived there until her marriage in 1892, to John Davis. Fol­ lowing her marriage they moved to Kalamo township. After five years they went to Whitehall, where they re­ mained until Mr. Davis' death in 1922. Mr. and Mrs. Davis were blessed with eleven children, three having passed to the great beyond in Infancy. After Mr. Davis' death, the widow moved back to Kalamo. where she had since remained. The funeral services were held Tues­ day afternoon at the Wilcox church, with interment.in the Wilcox cemetery. Rev. Bingaman and Rev. Starr con­ ducted the services. Surviving Mrs. Davis are eight chil­ dren. five boys and three girls, four of whom are at home, and her mother. Mrs. Caroline Brooks, besides other relatives and friends.

I've already bought my books, and say. they look hard! We have biology, history. English and algebra. Well, I’m going to bed early, ’cause I sure got something ahead of me for Sept. 4. Well, the worst is over. I hope. I’d quit school if tomorrow was as bod as today. This morning when I went Into the school room I asked the teacher if it was the Freshman room. She said no. it was the seventh and eighth grade room, and showed me where the Freshman room was. Every one laughed at me and I blushed to my ears. When I got in the Freshman room there were no seats left, so I just stood In the middle of the floor. Pretty soon the teacher saw me. and sent a boy after a chair. When I sat down my elbow hit the arm of' the chair and my books went all over the floor. The other boy helped me pick 'em up, and after that I didn't have any more trouble; that Is. 'til this af­ ternoon. We had classes this after­ noon. First we had a study period and then we had algebra tn Mr. Prescott. He's the superintendent and I've de­ cided Tm going to like algebra. Our next hour is a study period and then we have history. History’s all right tno. only hard. ’ This afternoon our first class was English. I thought if I stuck with the kids rd find that room all right, but some way I lost my bunch and went with some other boys to the wrong class. I was there about ten minutes before I found out my mistake, and when I snoke to the teacher and left, the class fairly roared with laughter. I wandered around, looking Into different class rooms and getting the "haw-haw" until finally I found the right one atHhe end of the halt Our last class is biology, to Mr. Van­ denberg. a fellow as long ?s his name.

In exercising the powers of eminent domain and in taking the fee of land and property that is need­ ed for the acquiring, opening and wi­ dening of boulevards, streets and alleys, municipalities shall not be limited to the acquisition of the land to be cover­ ed by the proposed improvement., but may take such other land and proper­ ty adjacent to the proposed improve­ ment as may be appropriate to sccuu? the greatest degree of public advan­ tage from such improvement After so much of the land and property hits been appropriated for any such needed public purpose, the remainder may be sold or leased with or without such re­ strictions as may be appropriate to the improvement made. Bonds may be Issued to supply the funds to pay in whole or In part for the property so appropriated, but such bonds shall be a lien onjy on the property so acquired and they shall not be included in any limitation of the bonded indebtedness of such municipality.” This proposed amendment, if adopt­ ed. will authorize municipalities in tak­ ing land that Is needed for the acquir­ ing. opening, and widening of boule­ vards. streets and alleys, to acquire land and property adjacent to the pro­ posed Improvement, in excess of the land to be covered by the same; to sell or lease the remainder thereof; and to Issue bonds to pay for the prop­ erty so appropriated without the same being included in any limitation of the bonded indebtedness of such munici­ pality.

He always said that when there was a big wash. A good crowd to him meant a big wash. "Yes,” said Teacher Spots, ’lots of representative spots.” The Soapsud children had all been tough t by Teacher Spots Just what that meant He had told them that representa­ tive men were men who were Impor­ tant In their different lines, and who represented or stood for something rather high np and Important When be spoke of representative spots he meant good, big, Important, interesting spots. "I hope I'll be able to handle them all." sal J Mamma Soapsud. "There, there," said Papa Soapsud, “you always get nervous at the be­ ginning of each wash. But they ‘al­ ways go so well! “They turn out splendidly and you’re a fine Mamma Soapsud." “Thank you, my dear," said Mam­ ma Soapsud to Papa Soapsud. As she said this she drew her soap­ suds hand across her soapsuds face and wiped It with her soapsuds hand­ kerchief which of course didn't dry it in the least But as she hadn't wished to dry it that didn't matter at all! "I do hope they’ll get at the scrub­ bing soon," said Professor Dirty Clothes. “The scrubbing board is needed to­ day," he added. "Oh. yes," "said Susy Soapsud, "they’re going to begin the scrubbing now." “Hurrah," said Solomon Soapsud. “now for some games and some fun." "Now for some games and some fun," agreed Susy Soapsud. "Now for some games and some fun." chimed in Sammy Soapsud. "Hurrah!" shouted Sheffield Soap­ sud. “Goodie!" said Sidney Soapsud. What a good time they did have! Mamma ooapsud looked at Papa Soapsud and said: "How happy the dears are I" And Papa Soapsud looked at Mamma Soapsud and said exactly the same thing. The professor spoke of It and so did Teacher Spots and the washtub was the most gloriously happy Soap­ sud playground ever seen. Although, It is true, they thought the same each week I Not a single week seemed less happy than any other week. VERY once in awhile—oh more often than that—the members of the Soapsud family held a family re­ union. * They had a very good time In their soapsuds fashion.

Tiie most reliable statistics avail­ able place the number of unemployed In the United States between three and one-half million to four million. What is the cause? The displacement of men by ma chlnery. When a machine Is made that enn do'the work of one hun­ dred men. the most Important eco­ nomic question is not, how much money is saved by the use of the ma­ chine, but wtint becomes of the one hundred displaced men. Another cause Is overproduction Federal income taxes prohibit carry­ ing larger inventories than absolute­ ly necessary. The problem of supply must approximately keep even with the demand. Many efforts to remedy the 'Condi­ tion of unemployment In this coun­ try have been offered. Perhaps one of the most plausible Is that advo­ cated by the Pollak Foundation of Economic Research located at Newton. Mass. The theory offered by this foundation hi the creation of a federal board of control which will regulate Industry by controlling tbe purchas­ ing power of the dollar.- Tiie wage scale should be so regulated that the purchasing value of the dollar ten years ago shook! not be more than tbe purchasing value of the dollar today. That is. Inbor should not have to suffer the shrinkage of the dollar value. It should also be so regulat­ ed that steady employment would be possible the entire year instead of at certain definite Intervals or the rosli seasons. Where unemployment Is absolutely necessary the cost of it should be charged to the article produced. In other words, let the public pay the cost of uoemjdoyuient.

Gam store building at Woodland, oc­ cupied by H. Deweerd with a stock of dry goods and groceries, was complete­ ly destroyed by fire, together with all ol the contents. The fire, which was qf mysterious origin, broke out In the early hours of the morning, and a cal! was sent out for fire fighting apparatus from the neighboring towns. Six fire trucks responded, two from Lake Odessa, one from Hastings. Vermont­ ville. Sunfield and Nashville, but the firemen were badly handicapped by lack of an adequate water supply, and only heroic work with chemicals con­ fined the flames to the one building. Mr. Gam's loss was in the neighbor­ hood of $5,000. and the Deweerd stock was valued at about $8,000. with $6,000 insurance. M. E. SOCIETY GIVES PARTY FOR REV. AND MRS. WRIGHT. One hundred friends of Rev. and Mrs. G. E. Wright spent a most enjoy­ able evening at the Community House lost week Wednesday after partaking of a bounteous repast. The occasion was to have been in the nature of a farewell to the pastor and his family. Friends were regretting the fact that they were to leave us. after their three years' stay here, but were very pleasantly surprised when news came from the district superin­ tendent that the Wrights were to spend another year with us. After a period of community singing led by P. C. Lentz with Mrs. Dora Nelson at the piano, Mrs. Edna Furnlss, in her capable and pleasing man­ ner. made a few appropriate remarks and presented the guests of the even­ ing with a beautiful mahogany gate­ leg table.

No matter how you may feel about the candidates, or the platforms, or the acceptance speeches, we repeat that there Is one duty which confronts you in this election. And that is to vote yourself, and in the meantime to help get out the vote. In this connection it would be well, in urging men and wom­ en to register and vote in November, to stress the fact that as citizens they should exercise their right to suffrage. It will be a great stimulant to the country if in the coming election there* is a great increase in the number of voters over preceding elections. It will mean a new interest in politics and in government We have been carrying on for a great mar.y years with what might be called minority officials. When not more than fifty per cent of those entitled to vote do vote in the election, it is perfectly obvious that those who are elected represent only a majority of a minority of the total vote. Every community should have a non-partisan committee which would concern itself solely with inducing the voters to come out on election day and vote. This is a matter of supreme im­ portance and it is equally beneficial to both the great parties. Let us have at least on one occasion a decision which will reflect fully the will of the people. It may be said liiat all elections do re­ flect the will of the people, but how are you going to estimate the will of the man who dors not vote. The answer of course, is that he has no will and no Interest in the election. But that is not true. He has the most definite and positive interest in the election, and if this fact Is brought home to him. his participation may be expected. CASTLETON CENTER P. T. A.

ATTENTION We wish again to call the atten­ tion of our readers to the fact that there is a stringent law regarding the placing of poisoned meat scrap or other article of food out In the open where they are liable to be found and picked up by dogs, other animals or small children.

In the absence of the leader. Miss E. Dean took charge of the program. The subject of the devotions was "The Divine Touch." fjeripture references from the Old and New Testament were read. Mrs. Sackett and Mrs. Wotring sang an appropriate duet 'The women’s missionary societies in the modem churches are bands of wo­ men “whose hearts the Lord hath touched." Vain and fruitless will their labor be if out of touch with their Lord.’ A number of short sentence prayers was followed by singing "O Love That Will Not Let Me Go." Mrs. Powers had charge of the "Mys­ tery Box”, asking questions, the an­ swers of which were found in the missionary magazine, and were given by ladles present. Mrs. Sackett then in a very clear and concise way told of "The God that Answereth.” being an interesting story of how the missionaries and members of a mission in China were saved from a bund of ruffians. Mrs. Wotring then read on article on "Africa the Myster­ ious,” which was a short outline of the development of Africa industrially, socially and morally, and a challenge to meet the needs and grasp the op­ portunities. now opening, for more missionary work. Miss Dean gave a reading, "Polly Procures Ammunition." In doing some research work, on prohibition, for sen­ ior English, at high school. Polly finds the report of the senate sub-committee highly favorable to prohibition, as well as the result of a survey made by some college professors and later pub­ lished In book form. Coach Stagg, who has been with the Chclago Univer­ sity four years, says he is convinced that there now Is not anything like the amount of drinking among the younger generation in the Middle West that there was before prohibition. The most touching article was by Comman­ der Booth of the Salvation Army which told how prohibition had helped clean up some of the worst slums in New York and Chicago. At the foulness meeting It was de­ cided to hold the first meeting of each quarter in the afternoon and the re­ maining meetings in the evening, that all may have the opportunity to attend some of the meetings at least. The next meeting will be the first Friday evening in November. The barrel of canned fruit and the vegetables for the Deaconess' Home at Grand Rapids will soon be sent.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK’ By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla. That the place to spend money is in the home city. That when you shop at home j»u reap the benefits; so does your home city. That you can find complete stocks of seasonable merchandise in the home city. That if a visit should be made thru all the stores, you would be surprised at the amount of dependable merchandise carried by them. That no matter what article you de­ sire, you will find it there at a reason­ able price. . That those who go out of the city to shop are only fooling themselves when they think they can do better away from home. That the local merchant deserves the first cc.'rideratlon. That he deserves the trade. That he should get it That he is a part of the city. That he has done everything to meet your every want That he does his share to make your city a good city in which to live. That his profits are spent in your city. That his success means the city's FOOTBALL AND SPORT CYCLE With the base ball season practically over, sporting interest automatically swings to football. The season is al­ ready under way, hut psychologically the game becomes predominant only with this week. Its prominence is a reminder of a rather astonishing development in modern sport Football will keep young men in exercise and engage the wits of sporting editors for two months only. And it will have successors. Basket ball, wrestling, boxing, skiing. Indoor track and Indoor tennis will press upon its heels, elbowing for a place with those who wish to exercise or to thrill at a contest. Sport, once a thing of spring and summer, has gradually taken over the entire year. We play our games now in defiance of weather. The change has had its penalties. A few sporting events have cessed to cast their glory over the year.

Dempsey, for all his might, and money, is not the mon­ arch John L. Sullivan was. The world's series is more dally bread and less miracle. The great Thanksgiving football game is only a ghost of its old self. But there are also compensations. The world sees more and exercises more than it did. Increasing urban, it reacts to being cooped up in towns by making its prisons the scenes of ac­ tion and excitement. Its blood and its imagination run more briskly day by day if they do not leap so high on sin­ gle occasions. On the whole, it is a fuller and healthier world than it was. Its loss is chiefly in illusion. An Illusion is least to be mourned when it diminishes proportionately as a sounder and richer life develops. COLUMBUS DAY. The name of Christopher Coiumbus has not escaped the notice of debunk­ ers of history. Ever the object of at­ tack by theorists who credit the dis­ covery of the New World to the Vik­ ings. it has been even more bitterly as­ sailed recently by a European critic, who endeavored to disprove every achievement claimed for Columbus, from making an egg stand on end to landing on South America. But such attacks have been well-nigh forgotten if they ever attracted serious attention. The reason is. that the voyage of Columbus and his three little ships, the Santa Marla. Pinta and Nina, across uncharted seas, the days and nights of anxiety and almost of mutiny and the sighting after many disappointments of a little island in the West Indies on October 12, 1492. form one of the most dramatic pictures in history. . What does it matter if Columbus did not then realize that he had found a new world? What if others preceded him to its shores? If the Norsemen did what was credited to them, the world was no better of! for their ex­ ploit. But that of Columbus, which is celebrated today, opened new conti­ seas with nents and filled‘ western ‘ ships.

As you know, any mill will pump wa^r in high winds, but the windmill that will provide w«er in the lighter breezes is the one you want. The Star can do this because it has a scientifically designed wheel. The fans have just the right curva­ ture and are properly spaced. Bearings running in oil, with a flood of oil for cross­ head, guides and pitmans, reduce friction to the minimum. The better features of the old Star, two gears, two pinions and two pitmans, are retained. This gives a direct center lift to pump rod and equalizes the load on working parts of the mill. Star is pivoted on ball-bearing turn table. erected on your place will prove a better uaed in the windmill line, fitted on any tower. C. L.

CHAPTER I. tbe reins over four plunging horses as he tooled a lumbering Concord stage over the trail from Omaha to tbe little camp culled-Denver. It was five years before their trails crossed again. Cal Warren was the first of the two to wed. and he had established a post along the trull, a rambling structure of 'dobe, poles and sod. and there conducted the business of "Two ft • One," n calling impossible and unknown In any otlier than that day and place. Tbs long bull trains were in sight from horixon to horizon every hour of the day. The grind of the gravel wore down the hoofs of the unshod oxen, and when footsore they could not go on. One sound bull for two with tender feet was Warren's rule of trade. These crippled ones were soon made sound in. the puddle pen. a sod eorral flooded with sufficient water to puddle tbe yellow clay into a six-inch layer of stiff, healing mud. then thrown out on the open range to fat­ ten and grow strong. But transitions were swift and sweeping. Steel rails were crowding close behind the prairie schooners and tbe ox-bows. Bull trains grew fewer every year and eventually Cai Warren made bls last trade of two for one. Bill Harris bad come back to view tbe railroad of which he bad heard so much and he remained to witness and to be a part of -the wild days of Abilene.

Warren had seen the bottom drop out of the bull trade and he would not relinquish the suspicion that any business dealing In four-footed stock was hazardous tn the extreme and he Insisted that the solution of all their financial problems rested upon owning land, not cows. Harris could not be Induced to farm the soil while steers were selling round eight dollars a head. Warren squatted on a quarter of land. Harris bought a few bead of siie-stock and grazed his cows north and west across the Kansas line into the edge of the great unknown that was styled Nebraska and Northwest district. At first his range was limit­ less, but In a few short years be could stand on the roof of his sod hut and see the white points of light which were squatters' wagons dotting the range to the tar horizon in any direc­ tion he chose to look. The first of these to Invade bls range had been Cal Warren, moving on before the swarm of settlers flocking into the locality of his first choice In such alarming E. T. Morris, M. D.

Keep it and profit by it. VON W. FURNISS Ask for a Circular, if you have mislaid yours. Ing Interred for better or worse—all of which we will tell you about a wee bit later. As you may know, a skunk is a little black and white quadruped, eagerly sought by the trapper for the value of its fur. It Is classed among our wild animals, which Is somewhat misleading—because it doesn’t happen to be very WILD. A feller can have a world of confidence in a skunk when looking you squarely in the eyes—but look out when Its back is turned. To begin with whenever an epidemic hits a town, or there Ls an over-abun­ dance of mosquitos swarming about, etc., there Is usually a reason, as Is the case of our being overrun with skunks, and we're going to tell you the real reason and why and wherefore of It all. A few weeks ago we were inform­ ed that Homer Ayers was raising skunks right in his cellar, over on the South Side. Homer hadn’t gone into the fur farming and wasn't exactly raising the skunks in the first place— they were raising themselves as well as raising a lot of other deviltry besides. They made so much racket nights when they were foraging around for mice and rati that Homer couldn't sleep. He didn't even dare to enter his cellar after dark for fear of step­ ping on one of the cute little fellows and maiming It for life. But they were Homer's pet skunks and he Ls to be held responsible for them. Homer flrfJly came to the conclusion that it was a shame that his little family of skunks were compelled to live out their lives on the bottom of his cellar with­ out getting a chance to get out and enjoy the wide-open spaces like their country cousins. Thus he built a lit­ tle ladder and placed it through the coal window with one end resting on the cellar floor so hLs little pets could go and come ns they pleased. They evidently went and came all right, and erery time they CAME they brought back more of their relatives who lived In the country. The facilities of city life was great. Finally Homer's cellar was so crowded with skunks that the little fellows couldn't find room to sleep comfortably, and they were forced to go about the town looking for a place to lay their head. Homer got those fool skunks Into one awful mean habit In particular, “go­ ing in and out of a window." The first instance we heard where Homer's pets were getting into mischief was over on the farm of Mrs. Mary Hois­ ington. west of town. Mrs. Hoisington had a fine flock of chickens, and each morning when she fed them she no­ ticed that the flock seemed to be gett­ ing smaller and smaller. A few days later she discovered that something was taking her chickens for sure and she made sure that night that every window, and crack was closed, and even the door locked with a strong padlock. The next morning on going out to her coop, what do you suppose happened? ‘Well, something had removed one of the window panes, and another chicken was gone. That night a steel trap was set and the very next morning it held one of Homer's skunks. There is no mistake about it—being Homer's skunk—’cause it was trying its very darnedest to get loose and was headed right for Nashville. A few nights later Mrs. Clare Pen­ nock who lives right In town, went out to her hen house to feed her hens, and right on one of the perches was anoth­ er one of Homer's skunks. This skunk had killed and eaten one nice fat hen. and was evidently just waiting there on the pered until It got hungry again We don't know what happened to Mr. Skunk, but do know that it won't eat any more of Mrs. Pennock's pet hens. The latest—and perhaps the mean­ est. low-downest capers, with no its or ands. that one of Homer's pet skunks could perpetrate, was over at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Mater, on Washington street. We don't know all the particulars (of course we don't need to know them, when we write what we dam please in this colyum anyway). Nevertheless we are going to say it took place on Saturday night, so as to give Cllnny an alibi for not being at home at the time. Mrs. Mater had gone to bed, being tired of waiting for her husband, and had just nicely got to sleep when she heard an awful noise, like a burglar trying to climb into one of the windows. Midge was frightened, well, immensely, if that will express It. The telephone was way down stairs, and there was simply nothing she could do but just pull a couple more covers over her head and keep quiet—perhaps the burglar would think no one was at home and would leave the house as soon as he had taken all the valuables. Gosh, but that fool burglar must have been an amatuer, judging by the noise and the length of time he was spend­ ing getting in. He was still getting in yet when Clarence came home. How­ ever Cllnny scon unearthed the mys­ tery-somebody's pet kitty had evident­ ly crawled up between the siding and the Interior walls of the house, and he decided to let matters rest until morn­ ing when he would pull off a few sid­ ing. if necessary, and rescue the kitty from Its predicament. Ciinny rescued the kitty all right—and how! We un­ derstand obsequies were held directly over at Clinny's home—one of them being In the nature of the interment rf a perfectly good pair at coveralls. THVBSDAY, OCTOBEK U, 1m. Gee. that “kitty" was so pleased to see Cllnny that it climbed right up in his WANT COLUMN You would almost think' that there wouldn't be any more skunks, but re­ member. Homer s cellar Is a big one and it was plum chuck full to over­ flowing. We honestly tiiink that Mayor Wenger ought to make Homer cither get rid of his pet skunks' at once, or close the window. If we were Homer, why we’d even be afraid to light a match with so much natural gas walk­ Ing around the premises. Have plenty of good potatoes again this year. 10c a bushel less at farm. L. F.

F'rinstance, just lost week Charlie Deller had a little experience with an apple that he doesn't care to haev re­ peated. Charlie iiad a tree, loaded with fine apples, which he wanted to hand-pick for his own personal use. When Charlie got In the orchard, andright under the boughs of his apple tree, and cast his esgle eye upward, there hanging in plain sight on the top-most branch was the apple of his eye—ALL RIGHT—os he was soon to realize. Charlie wanted that extra fine specimen of fruit to show, with pride, to all his friends. He forthwith placed the ladder In the Immediate vicinity of the apple. • • • A thir­ teenth of a second later Charlie got the apple—right kcrbifl in his left op­ tic. Now Charlie is showing a per­ fectly blackened eye instead of the coveted apple. Local Nhnrods Takin*' Inventory. Evidently removing all doubt—in ad­ vance. * * * With the oock pheasant season only’ a few days away, several of the boys have been sneaking out west of town afternoons of late, with a trap and their pockets filled with old left-over shells of the years gone by. just to sort of ascertain what their chances are of getting their limit of those feathered skyrockets when the season finally opens up. Judging by scores some of these neophytes qf the Blue Rock pastime are making, there's many an old he-pheasant going to soar safely and oonteritcdly away with .the familiar and tantalizing Ka-Ka-Ka-Ka. One of those wise old birds can say a mouthful when he takes a notion to laugh right in a feller's face. Bet Big Charlie Brown will want to go out with the bunch some afternoon just to see whether it's going to be any use of his tramping around through the wet grass and brush—AGAIN this year.

During the two years that her father had been confined to the house after being caved In by a horse and In the one year that bad elapsed since his death the six thousand cows that had worn the Three Bar brand on the range had decreased by almost half under her management “1’11 put you on,” she said. “But you’ll probably be Insulted at what I have to offer. The men start out after the horses tomorrow. I want a man to stay here and do tinkering jobs round the place till they get back.", “That'll suit me as well as any," he accepted promptly. “I’m a great lit­ tle band at tinkering round." The clang of the sledge bad ceased and a huge, fat man loomed in the door of the shop and mopped his drip­ ping face with a bandanna. “I’m glad you've come,” he assured the newcomer. “A man that's not above doing a little fixing up! A cowhand is the most overworked and underpaid supbead that ever lost three nights' sleep band-running and worked seventy-two hours on end; sleep In the rain or not at all—to hold a job at forty per for six months In the year. The other six he's tbrowed loose like a range horse to rustle or starve. Hardest work In the world—but he don't know it, or money wouldn't hire him to lift bls band. He thinks It's play. Not one out of ten but what prides himself that he can’t be browbeat into doing a tap of work. Ask him to cut a stick ot firewood and he'll arch his back anti laugh at you scornful-llke. Don't that beat h—I?” “It do,” said the stranger. “I'm the best wagon cook that ever sloshed dishwater over the tail-gate, and even better than that in a ranch­ house kitchen." tlie loquacious one modestly assured him. “But I can’t do justice to the meals when 1 lay out to do all the chores within four miles and run myself thin collecting scraps and squaw wood to keep tije stove het up. Now since Billie bus hired you, I trust you'll work up a pile of wood that will keep me going— and folks call me Waddles," he added as an afterthought. . “Very good, Mr. Waddles," the new­ comer smiled. “You shall have your fuel." The big man grinned. “That title is derived from my shape and gait," be Unformed. “My regular name is Smith—if you're set on tucking a Mister on behind It” The girl waved the talkative cook aside and turned to the new hand. “You'll take it then." He nodded. “Could you spare me about ten min­ utes some time today?" he asked. “Yes." site said. "1’11 send for you when I have time." Tbe man beaded buck for his horses and turned them into the corral. He rambled among the outbuildings on a tour of Inspection and the girt saw him stand long in one spot before the solid log cabin, now used as a store­ room for odds nnd ends, that hud been the first one erected on the Three Bar and bad sheltered tbe Harrises before her father took over their brand. ly according to conditions and local­ ity. There were existing laws—and certain clans that, denied the justice of each one, holding out against It* enforcement and making laws of their own. In some spots the paramount is­ sue was over tbe relative grazing right* of cow* and sheep, fanning a flame of hatred between those whoae occupations were in any way con­ cerned with these rival Interest*. In others the stockmen Ignored the home­ stead laws which proclaimed that set­ tlers could file their Tights on land, ▲a always before, wherever men re­ sorted to lawlessness to protect their fancied rights, the established order of thing* had broken down, all law* disregarded Instead of the single one originally involved. In many communities these clashes between rival Interests had furnished opportunity for rustlers to build up In power and practically take the range. Each clan was outside the law In some one particular and so could not have recourse to It against those who violated it in some other respect; could not appear against neighbors in one matter lest their friends do likewise against themselves in another. Tills attitude had enabled the wild bunch to saddle themselves on cer­ tain communities and ply their trade without restraint. Rustling had come to be a recognized occupation to be reckoned with; the Idehtity of the thieves was often known, and they visited from ranch to ranch, whose owners possibly were honest them­ selves but had friends among the out­ laws for whom the latchstring was always out. The rustlers' toll was in the nature of a tribute levied against every brand and the various outfits expected certain losses from tills source. It was good business to recoup these losses nt another's ex­ pense and thus neighbor preyed on neighbor. It was a case of dog eat dog and the siegan ran: “Catch your calves in a basket or some other thief will put bls Iron on them first" It was to this pass that the Three Bar home range had come in the last five years. As Billie Warren watched the new hand moving slowly toward tbe bunk house she pondered over what manner of man this could be who had played a single-handed game in the hills for almost a year. Was he leagued with the wild bunch, with tbe law, or was he merely an eccen­ tric who might have some special knowledge that would help her save the. Three Bar from extinction? The stranger picked up his bed roll ■and disappeared through the bunk­ house door as she watched him. The lean man who had first greeted hlin jerked a thumb toward an unoc­ cupied bunk. "Pay roll?” he Inquired; then, as the new man nodded, “I'm most gen­ erally referred to as Lanky," he of­ fered tentatively. “Evans Is the rest of IL" The stranger hesitated appreciably ; then: "Harris will do all right for me— Cal for every day,” he returned and CHAPTER II - _ * Tbe Three Bar girl sat looking from the window of her own room, the liv­ ing room of the ranch house, one end of which was curtained off to serve ns sleeping quarters. The new man was still prowling about the place, inspect­ ing every detail, and she wondered if he could tell her anything which would prove of benefit In her fight to stop tbe shrinkage of the Three Bar herds and help her to face the drastic changes that were reshaping the pol­ icies of the range country. The Three Bar home range was one of many similar Isolated spot* where the inhabitants held out for a con­ tinuance of the old order of thing*. All through the West, from the Mex­ ican border to the Canadian line, a score of bitter feud* were in progress, tbe principle* involved differing wide­ “Harris Will Do All Right for Ms." Introductions had been effected. It was up to each num to use his own Individual method of making hi* name known to the newcomer a* occasion arose. There had been much speculation about the brand worn by the two horses. The hands were a drifting lot, gathered from almost a* many points a* there were men present, but Done of them knew the brand. A dark, thin-faced man with a slen der black mustache was the first to voice a query, not from the fact that his curiosity was large—It »u per- drop in the Floor Market, A&P it peering on to their cuetomere tha benefit of there eatremaly Loan Pricer! rw ''' eea • Da* to a Iona Flour Iona Flour A&P Family Flour A&P Family Flour Gold Medal Flour Gold Medal Flour Pillsbury Flour Pillsbury Flour -lb bag MX 49-lb bag M'/t-lb bag 43-lb bag Mh-I& bag U-lbbag MH-lb bag 43-lb bag 1 sr •1.75 95* '1.85 •1.05 •1.99 •1.05 •1.99 pbt w Del Monte Raisins pbg ioe Del Monte Raisins 5 Macaroni 25* 5 e*r« 25* Spaghetti JI Karo Syrup 29s Had Label S-lb can Campbell’s Spaghetti P0G Soap or Crystal White *oap Kirk’s Flake White Soop ChipSO Chip, Grandmother’s Twin Bread Rowena Pancake Floor 38c 38c 21c We carry a complete line of Fruita and Vegetable, j^AnAiOTic&RMiric^ Ji ESTABLISHED haps less than that of any other man in the room—but for the reason tha; he chose to satisfy It at once. Mor’row's personality was cold and bleak, inviting no close friendships or inti­ macies; uncommunicative to a degree that had impressed Itself on his com­ panions of the Inst few days and they looked up, mildly surprised at his abrupt Interrogation. “Box L,” he commented. “Where does that brand run?" “Southwest Kansas and Oklahoma," the stranger answered. “Squatter country," Morrow said. “Every third section under fence." Harris sat looking through the door nt the valley spread out below and after a moment he answered the .thrust ns If he had been long pre­ pared for IL “Yes," he said. "And that's what all range country will come to in a few more years: farm what they can and graze what they can't—and the sooner the better for all concerned." He waved an arm down the valley. ••Good alfalfa dirt going to waste down there—overrun with sage and only growing enough grass to keep ten cows to the quarter. If that was ripped up and seeded to hay It would grow enough to winter five thousand bend." This remark led to the old debate that whs never-ending In the cow country, breaking out afresh Id every bunk house and exhaustively redlscussed. Evans regarded Harris curiously a* he deliberately provoked the argu­ ment, then sat back nnd listened to the various Ideas of the others as the dis­ cussion became heated and general. “It's a settled fact that the outfits that have put In hay are better off." Evans said. “But there's s dozen lo­ calities like this, a dozen little civil wars going on right now where tbe Inhabitants are so mulish that they lay their ear* and fight their own in­ terests by upholding a flea-bit preju­ dice that was good for twenty years ago but is a dead issue today." “And why I* It dead today T Mor­ row demanded. “And not as good as It always wwf “Only ■_ hundred or *o different 18S9 reason*,” Evans returned Indifferent­ ly. “Then beef-tops brought ten dol­ lars a head and they're worth three times that now; then you bought a brand on the hoof, come as they run, for round five dollars straight through, exclusive of calves; now it's I based at ten on the round-up tally, j In those days a man could better af- I ford to let pnrt of his cows winter- । kill than to raise feed to winter the i whole of them through—among other ! things. These days he can't." “And have your water holes fenced.” Morrow said. "As soon as you let the first squatter light." "The government has prohibited fencing water holes necessary to the adjacent range," Harris cut In. "If. that valley was mine I’d hove put It in hay tills long time back." “But It wasn't yours," Morrow pointed out “No; 'but It is now, or at least a part of It is," Harris said. “I picked up that school section that lays across tbe valley and filed on a home quar­ ter that butts up against the rims.” He sat gazing indifferently out the door as If uDdonsciou* of the dead silence that followed bls remark. More men had drifted in till nearly a dozen were gathered in the room. • “That's never been done out here— buying school sections and filing squat­ ter’s rights," Morrow said at last. “This is cow country and will never be anything “Good cow country," Harris agreed. "And It stands to reason It could be made better with a little help." "Whenever you start helping a coun­ try with fence and plow you ruin it for cows,” Morrow stated. “1 know!” "It always loomed up in the light of a good move to me," the newcomer returned. “One of u* ha* likely read hi* signs wrong." "There's some signs round here you better read," Morrow said.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT MAKING CREDIT SURVEY. Some time ago the National Retail Credit Association induced the United States Government, through the De­ partment of Commerce, to make a sur­ vey of credit conditions covering the whole United States. A country-wide gredit survey Is a big undertaking and 'should be brought about only through organized effort and cooperation. All Credit Bureaus are cooperating in this work and have completed their part of the program. Local business men have received, or will receive within the next few days, a questionnaire from the United Stat­ es Department of Commerce, which they are kindly requested to fill out and return at their very earliest con­ venience. The data and information asked for in this questionnaire is of vital im­ portance to the Department of Com­ merce in making this survey, which, when completed, will be the most com­ prehensive and valuable credit infor­ mation ever compiled, and will be of inestimable value to every business man. When the survey is completed, the result will be available to every one cooperating. Please do your share In making It a success. Nashville Vermontville Credit Ex.. H. F. Remington. Mgr. DISEASES REDUCE POULTRY PROFITS. Experts Say Sanitary Precautions Will Prove to be Good Economy. East Lansing—The belief that It is cheaper to prevent epidemics of dis­ ease in poultry flocks than to cure sick fowls has caused the poultry depart­ ment at Michigan State College to schedule a series of poult.-y sanitation meetings through the state during Oc­ tober aqd November. The poultry specialists say that healthy breeding stock is the first point to consider In disease prevention. The owner should cull his birds rigidly to eliminate weak individuals, and. when stock is bought, the birds should be kept separated from the home flock for two weeks. ■ Poultry houses should admit plenty of sunlight and the ventilating systems should keep the house dry at all time*. Concrete floors are an aid in keeping the house dean Roosts should have screened dropping boards beneath them. In cleaning poultry houses all loose dirt should be removed before any liquid cleaning solution is used. Onepound of lye dissolved in 40 gallons of water makes a good cleaning agent. Coal tar disinfectants should be used after the cleaning solution has thor­ oughly dried. These sanitation measures and many others will be stressed at the meetings to be held in Branch county October 22-23; Jackson county, Nov. 1-2; Ot­ tawa. Nov. 7. 8. B; St Clair. Nov. 13. 14, 15; Allegan. Nov. 20. 21: Kent Nov. 27. 28; and Mecosta Nov. 28. 30. Meet­ ings may be held also in Ingham and Oakland countie*. Nashville News Changes Hands SUte Geologist R. A. Smith appeared before the board of superivaora of Bar­ ry county last week and outlined to them the wrongs that have been done land owners of this state by unfair lease*, secured by promoters and specu­ lators primarily iA their own interest, from which they expected to profit when the leases are turned over to some oU company for the development of oil prospects on the leased land. He cited numerous instances where profitable wells have been developed and the land owner, under the terms of his lease, is receiving only a lump sum of from 150 to $200 a year. Furthermore the usual lease does not protect the property owner tn the matter of in­ creased taxes. The discovery of oil or gas naturally increases the value of the farm concerned, and the oil company making the development should cer­ tainly pay its proportionate share of the increased tax. The sUte geologist has prepared a lease fair to the land owner, as well as to the oil company. This lease pro­ vides that tife land owner shall be paid one-eighth of the value of the oil, if discovered on his property: also oneeighth of the value of natural gas pro­ duced on his property and sold; also provides for the oil company to pay its fair proportion, which ought to be seven-eighths at least, of the increas­ ed tax on the land, arising from the discovery of oil or gas or both on any given property. . The purpose of the whole proceeding is that there shall be no individual profit by anybody in Barry county from the leasing of lands in the county for oil development. The only persons who will profit will be those upon whose property oil structures are found and developed. The board of supervisors at their Friday session voted to co-operate in the movement by passing the rollow­ ing resolutions: Supervisors Resolutions. WHEREAS the attention of the Bar­ ry County Board of Supervisors lias been called by State Geologist R. A. Smith to the unfairness to land own­ ers of most of the oil leases that are being obtained in Michigan, because such leases do not give the land owner a fair share of the value of the natur­ al gas if found on such leased land; and because such leases make no pro­ vision for the oil company to pay its proportion of increased tax due to in­ creased value of the land by reason of the discovery of oil or gas or both on such land; also because such leases are for a longer period than five years, which the State Geologist as well as ourselves regard as sufficiently long and WHEREAS we desire to protect the land owners of Barry county from pos­ sible loss by unfair oil leases, and WHEREAS State Geologist Smith has prepared a form lease which we think is fair to the land owner and to all concerned. Therefore be it RESOLVED that we. the Board of Supervisors of Barry County unani­ mously request the land owners of evejy township In this, county not to lease their lands to any agent or repre­ sentative of any oil company who may be working In any township of the county, until such land owner shall have first talked the matter over with the supervisor of such township. And further RESOLVED that we. the supervisors of Barry county, hereby agree that we, will, as soon as our fall work on our forms is completed, visit the land owners of our respective townships, offering to them the lease which State Geologist Smith has prepared, which we believe is fair to all concerned, which lease will give to the landowner his fair share of the value of the natural gas. as well as oil. should both be found on his land, and will also save him from paying all the increased tax. and will bind the oil company to pay Its fair proportion of tax increase due to increased values resulting from the possible discovery of oil or gas on his land, should either or both be found. Be It further RESOLVED ’hat we. the supervisors of Barry county, agree to do this work of soliciting leases in our own respec­ tive townships without pay. and with no thought of any personal benefits ourselves from the leases we may se­ cure. But if the leases which we ob­ tain shall be turned over to some oil company, we will expect the said oil company to pay us for our work In vetting the leases at the same rate per day which we are paid for our work as supervisors, and also ' RESOLVED that all leases shall be made to M. O. Hill. County Clerk, as trustee for this Board of Supervisors of Barry county. Said trustee shall not dispose of the leases, nor turn them over to anyone, except when and as di­ rected by the Board of Supervisors. And be it RESOLVED that we. as supervisors, will not rote to turn the leases over to any oil company until an Investigation shall have first been made which shall satisfy this board that said oil com­ pany is of sufficient financial strength to efficiently explore this entire coun­ ty. for the purpose of locating oil structures: and will agree in writing to do 00 within reasonable time: and will further agree to develon the oil resources of the county within a rea­ sonable time, should such oil structures be found within the countv. The supervisors cannot at once begin the work of soliciting and taking leases, not until their fall work is done. Then they will do so. When the leases ob­ tained in all the townships are in the hands nf the county clerk as trustee for the board, then the board, through -uch agency as it may designate will ar­ range with some reputable and finan­ cially strong oil company, so that that eompanv wifi project the various (continued on last page.) For the second time since it was established in 1873 the Nashville News is changing ownership, Len W. Feighner having sold the paper to A. B. McClure, who is to take over the business November 1. The News was established In Nash­ ville in the fall of 1873. It was not Nashville's first newspaper, but it was the first one that made the grade. Two previous efforts had fallen by the wayside, for various reasons. But Orno Strong was a natural born news­ paper man and he stuck, in spite of many discouragements, and as the in­ fant village grew The News grew with It, until It came to be recognized as one of the vital factors in the growth and prosperity of the town. After fifteen years, during which time Editor Strong underwent many hard battles to survive, he sold the pa­ per to the present owner, Len W. Feighner, on October 1. 1888, more than forty years, ago. The present owner had been an employe of the office for four years prior to his purchase of the plant, so his direct connection with the office covers a period of more than 44 years. Since his purchase of the paper, the equipment has been changed many times as old equipment became obsolete and was discarded to make room for more modern equipment.

CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP AT WENGER-TROXEL MARKET The Old Reliable market, which for the past three years has been conduct­ ed to the entire satisfaction of its many customers by Messrs. Menno Wenger and Ervin Troxel will now be conducted by Menno Wenger and Noah Wenger, the latter buying out the interest of Mr. Troxel, the deal be­ ing closed the first of the week. In the future the market will be known as the Wenger Bros.’ market. Although the many patrons of the market will be sorry to lose Mr. Trox­ el as a member of the firm, the peo­ ple of the village and surrounding country will be mighty glad to wel­ come Noah Wenger, back again into the business life of the village. The Wenger brothers first entered the meat market business in Nashville about twenty-five years ago. conducting the business for a period of about fourteen years. They then retired from the hntiness While Noah and his family moved away from Nashville. Menno remained in Nashville and engaged in the stock buying business for several years. Later he again entered the Old Reliable market in partnership with Ervin Troxel. Perhaps no man in the state of Michigan today could be rightly classed as a better meat cutter than "Big Butch" as Noah Is best known to all his friends. During his eleven years' absence from Nashville Noah has been closely connected with the meat mar­ ket business, the past eight years hav­ ing been spent in Grand Rapids, where he was engaged as manager of the meat-cutting department of the large meat market interests of Ray Wat­ kins. Again we say. welcome back to the old home town. Butch.

It is a funny thing about a denial It takes twice as many words to deny it as it did to make it While Smith was heaving charges at him. Hoover just pulled down the Wind* and shut the windows and start­ ed communing with Work. Through close association with Coolidge he has become practically speechless.

The vivid and varied color scheme of mid autumn gives place to a study In gray monot­ ony. The trees ore leafless and they stand sharply silhouetted against skies that are leaden and bleak. The wind rustics amidst, the fallen leaves lost, and the fitful gusts scatter pro­ miscuously the leafy heaps of brown and buff. There are hints not vague, but broad, that winter is near at hand and snow may fan any day. There is a sombre oliarm in Novem­ ber days and nights. The air is often crisp and invites the pedestrian to fill his lungs to their peak with deep breaths and a sunset Of such weird beauty a* would have moved John Rus­ kin to exclaim “It was wen worth see­ ing.” The twilight comes early and deepens quickly into night. The con­ stellations keep pace with the calen­ dar. and shortly after supper mighty Orion makes his appearance and begins his triumphant march across the heavens. The insignia of November is the fodder shock, the pumpkin and the turkey gobbler strutting to his doom. History and romance meet and mingle in this month, mellow with the mem­ ories of those days when America was young. It to easy now to sec things at night. In the frosty twilight the rows of serried corn-shocks resemble a village of Indian tepees and in fancy one sees the shadowy forms of war­ riors, their women and the children moving to and fro beneath the light' of a harvest moon. The time of the frying of doughnut* has come, the making of mincemeat and the baking of pies; the cranberry sauce blushes furiously for they ore grinding -knives in anticipation of Thanksgiving dinner “out at old Aunt Mary's” HALLOWEEN NIGHT MISCHIEF Halloween, when it started far back in the midst of time, was the night when evil spirits were supposed to flock out of hiding places and roam the earth marauding and destroying. After many centuries we see the work of the evil spirits inherited and ab’y handled by Willie. Tom. Pat, and the rest of the youthful “gang." ■ It illustrates how next to impossible it is to get a custom or superstition out of the human brain, once it get* there. On the ancient agricultural calen­ dar, Halloween was a sort of New Year's Day. Harvest was over and the landlord called for his share of the crops raised by tenant farmers. It was the custom for him to arrive late In the evening and make merry at such pastimes as cider drinking and apple bobbing. When the fun war over and the landlord got down to business, it was early morning of November 1. Probably this is why the first of the month to rent-paying day. instead of the fifteenth or any other date that might be just as logical. Time was, when Halloween was less a night of deviltry and more a night of hospitality, good fellowship, roaring fireplaces, good things to eat and drink, and delightful superstition such as walking down cellar stairs back­ ward carrying a candle and a mirror, in which “her" future husband's face might appear. ' The world has not enough of hospi­ tality and pcodfellowship. Let's revive it. this Halloween, and make the night of witches and goblins jovial as well as prankful. Consider the turkey fattening for Thanksgiving day’s dinner. How he swells and puffs himself and struts in impressive dignity across the barnyard —inflated with pride in his breadth and depth of chest and large hip mea­ surement*. And the tragedy of it is that those things constitute his death warrant. The gifts of which he is so proud doom him to the oven. Some may see in the gobbler's vanity a striking illustration of the proverbial pride that is followed by a fall. Oth­ ers, who look at the matter fairly, will see something more. All who recall the last good turkey dinner served them must admit that a well-fattened gobbler lias something to be proud of. Nor Is his fall, enroute to the table, to be set down as In any way a penalty of pride. In his fall he serves man­ kind. In his death he becomes a true benefactor of the hungry. His pride in life is not unbecoming and in death martyr to a glorious cause. A Chicago man the other day took an extra big drink of com whiskey, and shortly began to see reptiles, also animals in assorted colors. So he rented a room and opened a museum. Many people paid 35 cents admission and when they saw only an empty room they called a policeman. The policeman was going to arrest him. but the man got him off in a corner and gave him a drink.

Less than 1,500 fires were reported to the department this season. Of those the most disastrous was the blase at Lovells, east of Grayling, which swept across 15,000 acres. Quick and efficient work by tlie state's fire fighters kept this fire within the " bounds to which It was held. ___ forest fire season Is nearing its close. Fan rains and snow wffl soon saturate and blanket the danger areas with the result that the fire fighters can cease their vigil. Seldom Is the danger great after October 15. but occasional­ ly, as in 1M4, fires were still in evidence os late as the first week In November. The cause for the tow fire loss this year is attributed to two reasons: First, the weather played into the fighter's hands; here was a good amount of rain and no protracted dry spells during which high winds prevailed; second, the new equipment and speedy work of the wardens kept blazes from gaining any headway. Education of the pub­ lic at large In the matters of caution has probably helped kbep the loss down to a considerable extent Pheasant hunting, out of season, proved costly to some citizens of the state. Activity of the state game war­ dens made the pastime a hazardous one and judging from court records, hun­ ters guilty of the practice paid fancy prices.

John Wallace, managing editor of the Wichita (Kan.) Evening Eagle, says: That “Thou shalt not fret thyself for the sins of flaming youth, for ver­ ily they are milder and fewer than those of former days." Such to the view taken by our old friend. Dr. L. Morgan Chambers, pastor of the St. Paul's Methodist church of Wichita. There's a world of common sense tn Dr. Chambers' dictum! He displays a rare understanding of the moral laws governing humanity and tolerance al­ together admirable In this day of soc­ ial transition. When we of the older generation come to realize that there his been a social revolution In these United States, then we again will come to understand and think with our children. Revolution, you say? Yes, and noth­ ing less. Almost without seeming to understand what was being accom­ plished. the modern children liave swept aside the double standard of morality. Girls have come to demand the same rights as are accorded to their brothers—and most of the gar­ ments and haircuts. They refuse to be simpering, pretending models of the young women depicted in Godey's Lady's Book of 1870. Instead, they are their own. sweet, frank selves, may­ hap a wee bit too frank, but neverthelesfi they are refreshingly natural. It has been a terrible shock to we oldsters. We are quite frank about shuddering at the change when our overnight dainty Marceline changed from a plnk-and-whltc hypocrite . ____ learning the rules of femininity, to a fair replica of the youngest son.

There ware many times when I meant to toll of this day and than something came up, as they say, and I didn’t gat around to H—another speech which you bear made. Tve talked enough sine* than but it has just happened I have never told of this beautiful day, and I should so like to have you bear at adven­ tures on that occasion." And th. little gnomes gathered around Peter and be began: "It was a beautifully sunny day and the first creature I met was a lovely big spangled butterfly. “The butterfly was very big and wore a brown suit with brown spots and silver trimming* and silver touches In the Hong or underneath part of the suit “1 am gclng to visit a little dty girt* the butterfly told me. ‘She is not able o get out *• b®* t>WD mT “1 Am Goina to Visit a Little City Girl.” Ill and I am going to show her a bit of the summer time, for I think I'm quite correct In speaking <f myself as a bit of the summer time. "•I went to see her yesterday and went right In the open window Into her bedroom. There was a-big vase there filled with goldenrod* and while she ate her lunch I had mine. too. " ’She seemed to be so happy seeing me that I'm going again, for aa soon u she Is much better she la going to make a visit to the country and she Is looking forward to It so much.' “Tve always meant to tell you about this butterfly and the happiness he gave the little girl." Peter Gnome said. -I went with him that day and saw tbe little girl greet him. “T bad or my Invisible robe of course—tbe one I wear so that no one can see me—and I saw tbs butterfly flitting about among tbe goldenrod* and I aaw her smiling and talking about her own beautiful butterfly. -}Vben tbe butterfly left aba called out a cheery thank you and good-by and just a little istor, when the doc­ tor came In he said she was so much better th she could go on her coun­ try visit In two more days. "I beard her say. just as I was tearing: "T know my beautiful butterfly made me well and the' "old'nrod* which my sis'er brought me.’ “Thao I wandered away from the city and Just a* I was leaving » saw a little girl named Ada. -She bad chopped up some of the meat which ahe had not ft*t like finishing and was taking It around to a paper bag to tbe poor cats in tbe neighborhood. She used to take them all sort* of scrape. “And whenever people saw her they looked at her as thcugh she vere quite strange, but all thq cate came rushing up to greet her. smiling at the paper bag. “Then, when I got out Into the coun­ try I met the dearest little lamb you have ever seen! -He wa- white but his uose was black pnd his feet were black and be had blr<ck stripes around hie legs. "He catee to me when I called him and he !e me pet him. Later I aaw him kissing a little girl's aand. She was patting him and calling him her 'dear lurnb.’ “But I wns so happy that the lamb had been friendly with me. Some­ times gnomes nre thought to be dread­ ful creatures and anyone who really knows us. knows that we aren't dread­ ful at alL "We love children and we do what w« can to help them—never to harm them. “And 1 was glad the little lamb seemed Io feel at once that I waa a friend. “Oh. it waa a beautiful day with tbe butterfly making a little girl well and Ada feedlfig the half-starved leftaloM summer cats, and the little lamb who paid me such a compliment.

"Do you run a brand of your own— so'* you'd stand to lose a dollar if every foot of range was fenced 7" he inquired. “Wliat are you trying to get at now?" Morrow demanded. “Nothing much—now; I've already got," Harris said. “A man's Interest lays on the side where his finances are' most concerned." "What do you mean br that?” Mor­ row insisted. “You're good at predicting—maybe you're an expert at guessing, too," Harris returned. And suddenly Evans .laughed as if something had just oc­ curred to him. Morrow glanced at him without turning bis bead, then fell silent, his expression unchanged. A chunky youngster stood in the door and bent an approving garo on the big pinto as he swung out across the pasture lot. The boy's face was small and quizzical, a shaggy mop of tawney hair hanging so low upon his forehead that bls mild blue eges peered forth from under the fringe of it and gave him tbe air of a surprised terrier, which effect bad gained him the title of Bangs. “I bet the little paint-horse could make u man swing and rattle to set up in his middle, once he started to act up,*' he sold. “Calico wouldn't know how to start,? Harris said. “A horse, inside his lim­ itations, Is what his breaker makes him. I never favored the Idea of breaking a horse to fight you every time you climb him. My horses are gentle-broke." shot rose and moved toward the sum­ mons to feed. “Let's go eat It up." Evans said and left the bunk house with Harris. “Dfd you gather all the Information you was prospecting for?” he asked Harris nodded. “I sorted out one man’s number,” he said. “Now If you’d only whispered to me I’d have told you right off," Evans sold. "It’s astonishing how easy It Is to pick them if you try." All through the meal the gigantic cook hovered near Billie Warren ns she sat near one end of tbe long table. It was evident to Harris that the big man was se!f-ap]>olnted guar­ dian and counsellor of the Three Bar boss. He showed the same fussy solicitude for her welfare that a ben would show for her helidess chicks. “Praise the grub and bnvq a friend at court," Harris murmured in Evans' ear. Billie Warren had nearly completed her meal before the men came in. She loft the table and went to her own room. When Harris rose to go he slapped the big man on the back. “I'd work for half pay whose you get grub like this," he said. ’That's what I'd cull a real feed.’’ Waddles beamed and followed him to the door. “It's a fact thht I can set out the best halt you ever throwed a lip over." be confessed. “You're a man of ex­ cellent tastes'and It's a real pleasure to have you about” Billie Warren opened tbe door and motioned to Harris. He went Into the big front room that answered for both living room and sleeping quarters. In­ dian blankets partitioned off oue end for the girl’s sleeping room. “You uad something to tell me." she observed, after he had remained si­ lent for the space of a minute, sitting In the chair she had indicated and gazing into tbe fire. “And I’ll have to start it a little dif­ ferent from tiie way I first counted on," he said. "Have any of the boys mentioned my name to you?" She shook her bead and waited for him to go on. "You won't care much to hear It," he announced. “I'd thought some of spending two years here under some other name—but iierhaps It’s better to come out in the open—don’t you think?" Tbe girl had straightened Ln her chair and was leaning toward him, her face white and her gray eyes boring straight Into the man's. She knew now who he waa—tbe man she bad more reason to desjilse than all others on earth combined. Of the Harri* family she knew nothing nt al? except that her father's lifelong regret hud been the fact that the partnership be­ tween himself and his oldest friend William Harris, had never been brought to pass. And this regret bad. In the end. led him to try and cement that arrangement in the second gen­ eration. Five years before his trail bad crossed that of the elder Harris for tiie first time since be had taken over the Throe Bar brand; and when his will had been read she had known that on tbe occasion of that visit his chi friend ted played upon this senUMBt te trick him Into making 1L <_m an sines of her she bad evidence that men were wolves who preyed upon tbe interests of others, and there was not a doubt that the fa­ ther of the man before her had preyed upon her interests through the senti­ ment of her parent; no other possible theory could account for the strange disposal of his property, the will dated and signed at the exact time of hta visit to the Harrises. The tenseness of her pose was re­ placed by lethargic Indifference and she relaxed into her chair. Tve known all the time you would eome,” she said. "It’s too bad. Billie," he said. "It's tough having me wished on to you this way." •*D6n't play that game frith me!" she flared. “Of course you've dis­ proved every drop of human decency io advance.” “It sure looms up like that on the surface," be admitted ruefully. "But I didn't have a band in cinching you this way." "You could have proved that by staying away. I wrote you a year ago that Td donate you a half-inter­ est in the Three Bar nt the expiration of the time if you'd only keep off the place. But at the last moment you couldn't resist having it all. Ten more days and you'd have been too late." The man nodded slowly. “Too late," he agreed and sat look­ ing Into the fire. She had been almost a son to her father, had ridden Che range with him. managed the Three Bar during his sickness; and such was her loyalty to his memory that not a trace of her bitterness had been directed toward her parent. He had loved the Three Bar and hud always believed that old Bill Harris, Its founder, had loved it too. His will had stipulated that half of his property should go to the younger Harris under tbe condition that the mau should make his home on tbe Three Bar for two out of the first three years after her father's de­ cease. The whole of It was to go to him In case she failed to make her own home at the Three Bar during her coheir's stay, or In the event of her marriage to another before the ex­ piration of three years. • “Of course I’m tied here fcr two years." she said. “Or left penniless. It you can make It unpleasant enough to drive we away—which won't be dif­ ficult—you win.” “I wouldn’t count too strong on that." he counseled mildly.' •Then why did you come?” she In­ sisted. “Half of It was yours by merely keeping away.” “Maybe I’m sort of tied up myself— Waddles Wagged a Negative Head.

You might offer to marry me,” rttic suggested when he failed to answer. “You could gain fuil poraess|un at once that way." He removed his gaze from the tire and looked long nt her. “It will likely come to that," he said. “I’ll put a weapon in your hands," she retorted. “Whenever It does conic to that I'll leave the ranch—so now you know tlie one sure way to win.” "I hope It won't pan out like that," he suld. “I’ll be disappointed—more than I can ’say." She rose and stood welting for him to go. "Good night, Billie," he said. “1 expect maybe things will break all right for us." She did not answer as be went out.

The purpose is to have this done in the near future. The beard has set out fairly, and we believe successfully, to protect the In­ terests of land owners of Barry county. Under the circumstances we feel that it will be wise for every land owner Ln Barry county not to sign a lease with any representative of any oil company until he or she shall have first talked the matter over with the supervisor of that township. Of course the super­ visors have no thought of controlling the action of anybody. Their purpose is to protect their constituents, so that they will not sign unfair leases: and. in the next place, to have Barry county CHURCH NEWS Methodist Church Note* Rev. Clark 8. Wheeler. D.

One of the best games played this year was lost to Lake Odessa by a score of 12 to 13. Nashville kicked off to Lake Odessa, who was forced to punt on their fourth down. Nelson received the ball on his 40 yard line and ran the boll back for a touchdown. A little later Lake Odessa got off a pass which was good for a touchdown, they made the extra point and led by one point at the half. In the third quarter Nashville made another touchdown, but was unable to hold Lake Odessa from making another score. Nashville received the ball and with four minutes left to play, started a march down the field. A pass. Fur­ long to Mason, netted about 30 yards. The other backfield men added much yardage by line plunges and end runs, but the game ended when they had reached the 10 yard line. Nashville’s chance of winning this game was hindered by their inability to break up passes. Philip Maurer, right guard, received a broken collar bone and will be un­ able to play again this season. Nashville plays at Lakeview (B. C.) this week. “The whole Issue of the campaign can be wimmed up with the question. Shall we mark an advance or shall we sound a retreat," said Congressman John C.

"U you don't ore for the Uitno you can't obtain, you will be fairly happy." On tbe surface It is not an inspiring message. Not to care for the things we can't obtain is to resign, give up. be supine. And when we quit in life's struggle we pay a dear price, indeed, for our meagre mete ot happiness. Most of us perhaps, would rather keep on fighting. There is joy in the fight; joy at least to know there is fight to Success Appearance Or-? Let us reverse the formula. “If you care enough for the things you have obtained, you will be su­ premely happy." The humble farmer, on his little farm—if he loves that farm—may be happy beyond compare. If he loves It well, he will till it well, intelligently, thoroughly,, and it will yield him rich store. The widowed mother, in the lit­ tle cottage, has her children, and if she loves them well they will be her life. The clerk at the desk, if he loves his work, will be happy in it. Or the motorman to his cab of steel, may find to the easy response of the throbbing motors and his rolling palace, a sense of responsibility for the passing mul­ titude that will bring him pride and JoyTo be truly happy In our lot. we need not be contented. Indeed, happiness and contentment, while we keep mov­ ing on life's highway, are not to be reconciled. If we love the work we do we shall be thrilled not alone to do it well, but to do it better. Far away fields are always green to too many of us. Only after fruitless pilgrimages is the simple truth borne home that if the field at our door is not attractive and verdant it is be­ cause we do not water Its shrubs and grasses. If we love our field we will tend it And more important, if we tend it we will come to love it And this to them in whom ambition bums. Only by the degree to which you prove yourself to the modest task of today can you fit yourself for. or in­ spire others to entrust you with greater duties tomorrow. Some men believe SUCCESS is a matter of spending all for putting up a good front .... appearing “prosperous!” Yet when they suddenly find themselves finan­ cially embarrassed, they know not whither to turn. Common sense must tell them Success can not be symbolized by appearanc­ es. That to honestly claim it is to be able to financially master not only reverses but every Opportunity in Life.

Civic pride and community spirit are not measured in costly publicity cam­ paigns. high-salaried press agents, population and public wealth. If they were, the small town would register but faintly these greatly-to-be-desired community virtues. The truth is that civic pride and community spirit ore to be found in their purest and most unselfish form in the small town. The reasons are ob­ vious. In the small town one finds that unity of purpose and neighborli­ ness that are ever absent in large cen­ ters of population. Cross-purposes, class conflicts and cut-throat business tactics are foreign to the community of limited population. Great cities, only, can afford to spend thousands advertising their ad­ vantages. They can buy magazine, newspaper and billboard advertising space, hire “directors of public rela­ tions" and finance vast' civic Im­ provements, industrial expansion pro­ grams and real estate developments. But these material manifestations do not make civic pride and community spirit The citizen of the small town takes the greatest pride to Ills community. The small town newspaper supports ev­ ery community project and cooperates with every worthy local organization. The small town merchant- glories in the | fact that he builds his home town when he builds his business. And the small town manufacturer and factory worker know their products are bring­ ing wealth to the community. When you find civic pride and com­ munity spirit in the small town you know it is the real thing, not the syn­ thetic product of hired boosters.

He has a ruddy complexion, clear grey eyes and a long decisive stride. He makes a decidedly distinguished appearance. Yet he is one of the most approachable men of position in Canada today.

"Good morning." he said to a truck worker in the yards of the Great Eas­ tern Railroad of England at the com­ mencement of his attempt to set It again upon a business-like footing. "Good morning. Sir" responded the worker, lifting up his head from his shovel "You know, we’re not used to that over here." suggested the English offlclal by the side of Thornton. “Well, it’s what I’ve been used to in the United States. Over there I have never noticed that an observance of the common human courtesies carded with It any ill effects." responded the man who started as a boy In a small town In the central United States with , an ambition to become a church bishop and who had been called across the seas to rehabilitate one of the greatest of England's railroads. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK By Edson IL Waite, Shawnee, Okla. W. L. Geppert, Editor of the Clarks­ burg (W. Va.> Telegram, and of the Exponent-Telegram, says: i Tliat it pays to construct good roads, | that is, highways of the more durable and lasting kind. Motorists, he finds favor concrete, yet it must be recog­ nized, Mr. Geppert says, that topo­ graphical and engineering conditions make other types of construction nec­ essary in different localities. • Build good roads, of whatever type. In the fullest sense of the term." he says. “Perhaps undue and unjust pre­ judice exists against certain types of road simply because they are not pro­ perly constructed or engineered. This is sometimes true of concrete as It is of other types. Some stretches of con­ crete road break up and go to pieces In a short time. That Is because the ma­ terial was not properly mixed, because supervision was Incompetent or negli­ gent, or because In some instances those in charge of the purse strings tried to be penny wise and pound foolish. “All roads, of whatever type, should be well made. It is folly to try skimp­ ing here and there. That sort of thing is paid for in the end, and usually the cost is much more than if the job had been properly done in the first place. "Perhaps the chief cause of poor or indifferent road construction is the desire on the part of the governmental bodies or officers having charge of th­ read budgets to get as much as they can out of a certain available amount of money. If money Is available for ten miles of road, they try to stretch it to eleven miles. Too frequently they want to adopt a cheaper type of con­ struction and make It go fourteen miles. It is better, however, to have only nine miles of a good road that will last years than to have the longer Inferior stretch, which In a few years has to be rebuilt. "Another bad piece of business is the plan of doing half the work on a road one year and letting the rest go until next year or the year after. By the time the finishing work Is to be done the base is broken up or otherwise im­ paired by traffic. Patching is done, the surface is put on and about the first wet or freezing spell the road is ruined. •'Whatever type of road is chosen, the work should be well done by com­ petent builders and competent engin­ eers. the best material should be used, the road should be completed then and ♦he-e and the enure fcr mileage should b* put into the discard.

That is one cucstion that might well be asked after one hears of a recent discovery made by Jan Metzelaar, fish specialist on the staff of the conservation department. Mr. Metzelaar has been engaged for the past few weeks in affixing metal tags to trout that were being released in Michigan streams. The tags will be used to establish, to some extent at least, the migratory habits of the trout. It is expected that sportsmen making catches will report to the state de­ partment where and under what con­ ditions they made the catch of tagged trout. But Mr. Metzelaar was not prepared to realize results. Three and one-half days after he had planted a brook trout 15 miles from Grayling, the fish showed up at the hatchery. In other words, the trout had made the home­ coming at the rate of 5 miles per day. which, almost anyone will admit, is pretty steady and speedy swimming for a small fish. The trout was prompted by instinct to swim up-stream at this time of year and probably did not have any idea that he was returning to the old homestead. Nevertheless, he was back at Gray­ ling and Mr. Metzelaar saw the speci­ men with his own eyes. The fish had Jumped over the splash board and was trying to get in the pond. How Jong he had been at the hatchery, was not known. He may have made the trip in a day. but it Isn't likely. The speed accomplished is only an incidental matter in the investigation that the department is planning. The experts desire to learn, if passible, where all the trout go that are planted every year. If they are going out into the great lakes or are migrating to oth­ er streams, the department believes It should know, for saving ot money, time and fish could be made to the state. While there is a good deal of inter­ est attached to all species of trout, the rainbow is the fellow that Mr. Metzelaar is Interested in particu’arly. Just how mu'-h territory this fellow takes in during his wanderings is not known. Is several instances he has been found I Chet Hyde of West Castleton again rejoices over an addition to his house­ hold. a bright, 11-pound boy.

Monday evening the village was startled by the report that Mrs. Amos DeWaters had shot herself. It will be remembered that Aug. 27, 1887. a disas­ trous fire occurred, destroying the DeWaters house. Since that time they have had little or nothing to live on. With a drunken brute for a husband, and scarcely any Income. Mrs. DeWaters tried to end her life. However, she still lives, and Dr. Weaver thinks she will pull through all right. several mi let away from his original home. Rainbows have been trying to ascend the Elk Rapids into Elk Lake near Traverse City. Fifty or sixty mil­ es away at Pine Lake Is the nearest known rainbow colony. Did the fish rwim all that ways? Commercial fisher­ men have been known to net the rain­ bows in Saginaw Bay. In this case the fish probably came out of the AuGres river but in any event they did a lot of swimming and seem to have no particular fear of the large bodies ot water. In the upper peninsula a number of well-to-do sportsmen formed a club. They decided that they were going to have fishing, as was fishing, on their stream. They planted year in and year out. yet the number of trout did not materially increase. Mystified by their experience they are going to try the banding idea themselves. Here they have been inur­ ing fish into the stream, and the fish cost a pretty penny, and without any apparent results. Did the planted fish head for Lake Superior and then wan­ der up other streams that empty Into the big lake? If so. this club was giv­ ing Michigan a lift in its fine state­ wide program nf game fish planting. Incidentally. Mr. Metzelaar ha-, de­ cided that no rainbows will be tagged this year. The 5,000 rainbows reserv­ ed for this experiment will be given another year in which to grow. They were not considered large enough to carry tne tags this season. Last spring the fish division of the department of conservation sent out formaldehyde jars to 1.500 sportsmen in the state. The Jars were to be used for the preservation of trout stomachs which the department officials wished to secure in their study of trout foods Each sportsman was asked to fill the jars with the stomachs of trout they might catch and forward them to the department after the season closed. Jan Metzelaar. fish investigator for the state, conducted the distribution. Out of the 1.500 jars shipped out. more than 500 have been returned and more are being received each day. This fine piece of cooperative work has caused the department to express its appreci­ ation. The response to the request would indicate that Michigan sports­ man are indeed interested in helping the state study its fish problems Mr. Metzelaar will make a thorough study of the material returned. The stomach contents will go under the mi­ croscope and the findings will be used in future work. A copy of the report tliat Mr. Metzelaar will make is to go to each sportsman who cooperated in the work. IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Western District of Michigan, Southern Division.

WAS talking recently with a ceasful manufacturer about a new model eight-cylinder automobile, The manufacturer needed, or thought he needed, a new car, and was consid­ ering the purchase of one. I asked him why he did not buy the new mod­ el, for which great things were claimed. "I never buy any moke of car un­ til It haa been on the market for ut least a year.” he replied. He went on to explain that a new model might develop many unsuspect­ ed faults during a year's use In the hands of many owners. Until snch possible faults were corrected the model would be more or less of an experiment. In short, he preferred to let other people pay for tliat automobile com­ pany’s experiments. The same rule might profitably be employed with most new Inventions and theories. When a thing Is new It Is necessarily untried. A motor or an electric light bulb may be a bowling success In the lab­ oratory and a dismal failure in every­ day use. A novel theory of government may loom up as a cure for all the world's Ills, yet be totally unworkable in prac­ tice. . For this reason the smart . man usually insists on a thorough try-out for anything new before he putt much faith in It. This does not mean that smart peo-‘ pie are not receptive to new Ideas. On the contrary they are the first to support an Innovation—if they are convinced of Its worth. But they Insist on being convinced first. .^*5phaDt? hld,® tor bnr Sold by Von W.

If It comes at all it comes after many failures and many experiments. And they know also that progress usually comes as a small step In a long series of steps. They are afraid of radical changes. Hence when anybody tells them that he has evolved a new theory or a new machine which far surpasses any­ thing that haa gone before it, they are Inclined to be skeptical. Most bona fide Inventors—whether they are inventors of mechanical de­ vices or forms of government—do not make great claims for their products. The true scientist, for instance. Is always reticent about the possible value of his discovery. He never makes great claims for them unless be has satisfied himself, by a long series of experiments, that tbe claims are not extravagant A great ado about a new concep­ tion means nothing.

Clair Elias Jones was born Nov. 4. 1906, and departed this Hie on Oct 22, 1928, at the age of twenty-one years, eleven months and eighteen days. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert W. Jone-, of Assyria, at which place he was bom and made his home until the time of his death. During tbe entire two years of his Illness he was ever patient and cheer­ ful, and his happy disposition continu­ ing even through his suffering, added to his host of friends. His fiance. Miss’ Lois M. Brady, was a true and faithful companion, a nurse, ever ready to help in any way to ligh­ ten his heavy burden, a cheerful com­ rade in his darkest hours, truly a friend indeed, deserving of highest praise. He is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Jones. Miss Brady, five brothers, Prank of Battle Creek, Howard and Dewey of Maple Grove, and Victor and Lyle of Assyria, and two sisters. Mrs. Edward Manning and Mrs. Prank Hawblitz both of Ma­ ple Grove. The angels called our loved one to rest. From all troubles and cares of life. We dearly loved him but God knew best.

THIN m City Rortaarant Soup. Here is a little incident which we believe is entirely proper and FITTING under tbe circumstances. It was the first time, honestly, tliat thin particu­ lar thing has happened in this particu­ lar home in twenty-five years, and it isn’t very likely to occur again until the end of another quarter century— at the time in the distant henceforth when Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fuller of Ma­ ple Grove celebrate their golden wed­ ding anniversary. You wifi note elsewhere in this issue, an account of the "surprise” given this jolly couple, Fred and Sadie, last Sunday. There were two SURPRISES—one for Fred and Sadie, and one for the guests— when they were served with pumpkin pie for dinner. You see, it was some­ thing like this—or not quite so much so: Mrs. Puller baked three big, fat pumpkin pies (the Thanksgiving kind) on the Saturday, thinking they would be all alone and would be tn nice right on their 25th wedding anniversary, not dreaming of the surprise that was in store for them. Then, on Sunday, along about the time the Sunday was getting ready to cross the dividing line between morning and afternoon, a car FULL of friends drove into the yard and invited themselves to stop and eat dinner with Fred and Sadie. Mrs. Fuller knew that she was well prepared because she had three nice pumpkin pies, and she forthwith proceeded with the dinner, cutting two of the pies so aa to make the rounds. A few minutes after the guests were nicely in the house, another car came. Looked like this car was equipped with both upper and lower deck, judging by the way the guests poured out Sadie counted noses and then proceeded to cut pie No. 3. as well as re-cut the other two pies— she - simply had to have some extra pieces of pie. Then another car arrived, and another and another—each seemed to have more guests than the preceding one. Each time a car arrived. Sadie would quietly slip out in the kitchen and RE-CUT her pies. Well, those three pies sure fed the multitude all right—but when the pieces were served on the table at noon, they had the ap­ pearance of tissue paper standing up edgeways. However we understand that there was MORE on the table be­ sides just pie, as each of the guests came with a well-filled basket. Here’s hoping Fred and Sadie live to enjoy at least three or four more of these gala 25 year celebrations. 10,000 LIBEL SUIT (de)-PENDING. (Note the Absence of “$" Sign.)

We’ll bet a doughnut it won’t work in our case. According to our theory, and the law of averages. Conservation Officer Bera ought to give us permission to shoot EIGHT pheas­ ants next year. We shot two last and two this year. As nearly as we can figure it out we’re one whole year's limit behind schedule. Gogh. and how’s one or two fellers we know EVER going to CATCH up? Taking No Chances. A "neighbor” told us that Big Char­ lie Brown started out one morning with a gun in one hand and an axe in the other, after pheasants. Some feller has hinted to Charlie those birds are hard to kill, and he evidently thought an axe would come in mighty handy. P. 8 —Charlie got the pheasant, with the AXE—or the gun? Oh! These Half-Pheasant-Dominiques. Heretofore, whenever we have had a story to tell on Mrs. D. HL Evans, it has been about her ability as a Mrs. Ike Walton, and her fine catch of shiners, in the spring of the year as the ice in tbe mill pond Is leaving for Thornapple lake. (Bet Mrs. D. H. has at least six quarts of angleworms right in her cellar at the prer-ent writing, just tramping all over each other to be strung on a hook next spring.) This' time our story is a bit of something different from mere fish. Last Wednes­ day Mrs. Evans was going to entertain friends for the day, and of course you realise that whenever you have guests, you are Just naturally expected to serve chicken for dinner. Mrs. Evans INTENDED to have the chicken all right, and it wasn’t her fault that she didn’t, either. No. you just bet not. She had killed one of her choicest, big fat bens and placed It on a box in the back yard while she went into the kitchen for a kettle of boding water to dress Mrs. Hen. Horrors, when she re­ turned. a few minutes later, with the water the hen had from all indications come to life again and beat it for parte unknown. Probably it Is just wandering arnund some where out in the country, looking for its missing head. Then again if its genealogy was looked into care­ fully it might prove to be a distant relative of the family of pheasants tliat roam around Fmmrtt Surinc’s hills south of town. Anyway. Mrs. Evans hasn’t seen a feather of that chicken iiince, and she has her suspicions that some mean dog knows more about the delicate matter than would be healthy for any sensible canine to admit—that is, right in the presence of this estima­ ble lady. But honest, we still believe that chicken was part pheasant—you know how they will disappear, even after they are served right on the table. Somebody’s been picking on Bill Cortright again. Funny too. seeing as how the baseball season is over. A par­ ty of Bill’s friends were in Battle Creek. ,so they say,, to see the big Zep. Now Bill has the idea the Zep was os large u the Sanitarium, and painted a bright red. We don’t know whether to fee! sorry for Bill for what he miss­ ed. or for the party for what they must have seen. Say, did you see all those cars park­ ed in Vade Johnson’s yard last Sun­ day? Well, that meant A birthday celebra­ tion for CLAYTON, and some others. For the benefit of one or two young ladles in Nashville, who may not know Clayton's age. we give the following little hint: If Clayton was a week or ten days younger, he wouldn’t be able to carry water to the G. O. P. elephant Tuesday. • We’ve always wondered where Vade got all of his excess avoirdupois—now we know.

FARM PROBLEM AS OLD AS ADAM R. l Duff us, in an article in tiie New York Times, entitled, “The Farm Problem is os Old as Adam.” makes a most Intelligent analysis of agricultur­ al conditions. Mr. Duffus’ conclusion is a definite statement of what the far­ mer may expect in the future. ’’The American fanner.” he says, “first among all the tillers of the soil in the history of mankind, is ceasing to be merely a farmer and Is becoming a business num and a manufacturer. Reapers, harvesters, combiner, gang plows, improved fertilizers, great irri­ gation projects, the growth of cooper­ ative associations which now handle about a fifth of all the farmers’ busi­ ness—all these show that the industri­ al revolution is at last penetrating to the farm. "The American farmer, despite his present troubles, is transforming him­ self into a new man—a happier and more successful one. He is breaking down the barrier between himself and his fellows in the cities. “The city is peacefully penetrating the country, the country peacefully penetrating the city. .The population is being geographically scrambled as never before. This doesn't mean that the economic interests of the farmer and the city man are about to become Identical. But the farmer is becoming socially and culturally more like the dweller tn towns. The bitterness which results when there is a struggle be­ tween groups of totally different ways of living and thinking is bound to be removed. The agricultural problem Is entering upon a new stage—an Is­ sue between equals. It will long be an economic issue, but- the time is probab*y past when it can shake the founda­ tions of the Republic." !

CURB FIRE MENACE There is no greater menace to our national progress and prosperity than fire. Each year in America this des­ troyer takes ten times the amount it takes in Europe. It is estimated that the loss by fire In 1926 averaged about $1,500,000 daily, reaching a total for the year of $560.­ 000.000. The rapidity of increase is shown by the fact than ten years be­ fore In 1916. the loss was about $258.­ 377.952. less than half of whet it is at present. Perhaps the greatest tragedy of this waste Is that it is practically entirely preventable.

European preventative methods would be either practical or acceptable in this country. This, however, is a minor issue. The point is that fire is preventable—authorities state that as high as 80 per cent of fires are unnec­ essary—and the prodigal waste must be blamed entirely on ourselves.

Cut thick slices of ripe water melon, remove the seeds and cut with small fancy cutters Into different shapes, or use a French potato cutter.

Marvelous Work of New Konjola Medicine Told Post Office Pharmacy to Introduce Advanced Remedy For First Time in Nashville. If you were told that one single med­ icine put hundreds of men and women back to work in Indianapolis, Detroit and other large cities after they had been idle for months with health trou­ bles, it would sound Impossible, would­ n't it? And that countless people were completely relieved of rheumatism and neuritis, that they were able to walk again, without cane or crutches, and that this same medicine restored heal-h to men and women who had suffered with stomach and kidney trouble* for years, that complete relief had come in cases of misery where health resorts, expensive treatments and medicine up­ on medicine had failed—indeed it seems impossible. Yet It is all true and the medicine that has done all these things Is the new Konjola, which is being Introduced starting today at the E. L. Kane Postoffice Pharmacy. Nashville. Wherever Introduced, this Konjola is vastly different and more effective in thousands of cases of ill health than any previously known medicine. It is a remarkable liquid compound for the following well-known troubles. RHEUMATISM: Especially severe cases, where pains are intense, mus­ cles swollen, joints stiff and rigid. In the milder cases of this disease. Kocjola relieves almost at once, and this medicine brings the same results to the neuritis victim that it produce* for the rheumatic sufferers. STOMACH. LIVER. KIDNEYS AND BOWEL TROUBLES: Nearly all forms of misery that arise from these un­ healthy organs have been so quickly relieved by Konjola that men and women sufferers everywhere were sur­ prised. It is the action of this medi­ cine on the organs of the inner-system that removes toxic poisons from tbe system and brings quick relief in so many cases. The secret of this Kon­ jola is the way it acts on the impor­ tant functionary organs of the body namely, the stomach, liver, kid nr vs and bowels. So many diseases and long standing disorders of these organs were so completely conquered and en­ tirely banished by this new compound that thousands of people in larger cit­ ies were able to give up taking medi­ cine for time to come. After the great accomoiklunents and wonderful work of Konjola in ocher sections, it is declared that this medi­ cine is what hundreds of sufferers tn Nashville and vicinity have ’ong need­ ed to actually reach their cases, and preparations are being made to intro­ duce Konjola lor tbe first time at tbe E. L. Kane Pustolfice Pharmacy, where this medicine will be sold and explain­ ed to tbe public daily. �itwwk uamui. mctl BUSINESS DIRECTORY AUCTION!

She found herself liking him, even In.the face of the treachery he bad practiced against ber father and was correspondingly angry, both with her­ self and at him. She left him without a word and returned'to the house. He finished putting the shoes on tbe colt and as he turned him back Into the corral he observed a horseman Jogging up the lane at a trail trot. He knew the man for Slade, whose home ranch lay forty miles to tbe south and a little west, the owner of tha largest outfit In that end of the state; a man feared by bls competi­ tors, quick to resent un Insinuation against his business methods and cap­ able of backing his resentment Slade dropped from hl® horse and accorded Harris only a casual nod ap he headed for tbe house. He walked through the cookhouse and opened the door of the girl's quarters without the formality of a knock, ns If a fre­ quent visitor and sure of hl® privi­ leges. “How many times have I told you to knock?" she demanded. “The next time you forget It I'll go out as you come In." Slade dropjied Into a chair. "I never have knocked—not In twelve years,’’ he said. . "It was somewhat different when 1 was a small girl and you were only a friend of my father," she pointed out. “But now—" “But now that I’ve come to see you as a woman it's different?" he in­ quired. “No reason for that.” She switched the channel of conver­ sation and spoke of Ute coming round­ up, of the poor condition of range stock owing io the severity of the She Knew That to He Was Her. Harmless winter; but it was a monologue. For a time the man sat and listened, as If he enjoyed the sound of ber voice, contributing nothing to the conversa­ tion himself, then suddenly he stirred In bls chair and waved a hand to in­ dicate the unimportance of the topic®. “Yes, yes; true enough," he Inter­ rupted. “But 1 didn’t come to talk about that When are you coining home with me, Billie?” “And you can't come If you Insist on talking about that" she countered. “I’ll oome," he stated. “Tell me when you're going to move over to tbe CUcle P." "Not ever,” she said. “I’d rather be a man’s horse than his wife. Men treat women like little tinsel queens before, and afterward they answer to save a cook's wages and drudge their.

The girl pushed him back with a hand braced against hi® chest “Stop It!" she said. "You’re get­ ting wilder every time you come, but you’ve never pawed at me before. I won't have people's hands on me,” and she made a grimace of distaste. The man reached out again and drew her to him. She wrenched away and faced Slade. “That will be the last time you’ll do that until I give tbe word." she said. “I don’t want the Circle P—or you. When I do Til let you know!"

He etood.no close as almort to touch ber but ®h« tailed to lift a band or move back an inch, and Slade knew thet be faced one whose spirit matched bls own, perhaps the one person with­ in • hundred miles who did not fear him. He bad tamed men and horses— and women; be-raised hie arms slow­ ly, <MTber®«e*y, to see if she would Qfnoti away or stand fust and outgame him. She knew that be was harmleati to her—and bs know It. He might perpetrate almost any crime oo the ealendar and ®on» tftoct ; bat in this lend where women ware few they were honored. One whisper from the Th toe Ber girl that Slade had raised his band against ber and, powerful aa be was, tiie hunt for Uim would i>e on, yitb every man’s hand against him. ' His arms had Italf dreled her when he whirled, catlike, every faculty cool and alert, as a voloe sounded from the door. Both had been too en­ grossed to notice Its noiseless opening. Tye finished cleaning up round the shop and corrals," Harris said. “I* there any rubbish round tbe house you’d like to have throwed out and piled Ln a dry gulch somewhere® out of sight?" He stood in the door, half facing them, bls left side quartering toward Slade. To tbe girt It appeared that the strange pose was for the purpose of enabling him to take a quick step to the right and spring outside if Slade should make a move and she I felt a tinge of scorn at his precaution even though she knew that It would avail Mm nothing if Slade’s deadly temper were roused by the Insult Slade, who had killed many, would add Harris to Ms list before he could move. Slade's understanding at the quar taring position and tbe odd sling of Harris' gun was entirely different and as be shifted Ms fast until he faced tbe man !n the door, his movements were atow and deliberate, nothing that could be misconstrued. •Who summoned you la here!" he demanded. Harris did not reply bat stood watt­ ing for some word from the gtrL She had a sudden sick dread that Slade would kill him and was surprised at the sentiment, for no longer than an hour before she had wished him dead. She made belated answer to bls orig­ inal question. “No," she said. “Go on out, please." He tmnfd his back an Slade and wen t* out “And you." she said to Slade, “you’d beat be going too. We’ro been too good neighbors to quarrel—unless you come over again with the sama Idea you did today." At sunset tne girl called to Harris and be repaired to the house and found her putting a hot meal for two on the end of the long pine table, the first time she bad deigned to eat with him. “There’s do use of our going on like this," she nld. “We’ve two year® of It to face; so It’s best to get oo some kind of a neutral footing." For ber own peace of mind she had tried to smother ber dislike at him and be wna very careful to avoid any topic that would rekindle It. They washed tbe dtebes together, and from that boar tbefr relations, to all outwaid appearance, were friendly or at toast devoid of open hostility. But he knew that she wag merely strug­ gling to make tbe tswt of a matter that was dtetaataful, that ber opinion of him was unaltered. Her bitterness could not be entirely concealed, and she frequently touched on some fresh point that added to tier distrust of bls present motives and confirmed her hello/ in bls double-dealing in the past. There were so many of these points; his refusal to accept her offer to give him bls half-interest If he would stay off the place: hl® weak insinua­ tions that there was some reason why he must spend two years on the Three Bar; bls prowling the country for a year spying on the methods she fol­ lowed in running the outfit, half of which would soon be his; his buying the school section and filing on a quar­ ter of land, the location blocking the lower end of tbe Three Bar valley. Whenever she mentioned one of these he refused to take Issue with her. And one night she touched on still another point. “What was the reason for your first Idea—of coming here under another name?" she demanded. "I thought maybe others knew I’d been left a part Interest," he said, “and it might be embarrassing. The way It i®. with only the two of us knowing the inside, I can stay on as a regular hand until tbe time la up.” "You’re so plausible," she said. "You pvt it m a favor to me.

"If you mentioned what yon think of me, that Tra framed to rob you by law, you wouldn't be bothered with me for long.” He laughed soft­ ly and slretched hl® feet toward the fire. “Look at it any way you like and I’m In bad shape to deal you any misery," he pointed out. "If you’d drop a bint that Im an unwelcome addition It would only be a matter of days until I’d full to show up for meals. If you view It from that angle you can see Tm setting on the powder can." brhe did see It, but had not so clear­ ly realized It till be pointed It out, and for the first time she wavered in her conviction that he had come sim­ ply to deprive ber of her rights. But the thought that her father would not easily have willed away the home place to another without being unduly. Influenced served to reinstate her dis­ trust along with a vague resentment for hhi having shaken It by throwing himself so openly on her mercy. "You probably thought to overcome that by reaching the point the whole thing so patently alma for," she said. “And you calculated well—arriving at a time when we'd be alone for week. The whole scheme was based ou that idea and I’ve been patiently wondering why you don't rash mat­ ters and invite me to marry you.” He rose and flicked the ash from his cigarette into tbe fireplace. “I do Invite you—right now," ha said, and In her surprise she left her, chair and stood facing him. “I’d Ilka real well to have you, Billie.” “That’s the final proof," she said. “I’m surprised that you didn’t tell the first day." “So am I,” be said. She found no answer for this but stood silent, knowing that she had suddenly become afraid of him. “And that's the living truth,” he af­ firmed. “Other men have loved you the first day. You know men well; enough to be certain that I wouldn’t be tied to one woman for the sake of 1' owning a few head of cows—not if I didn’t want her for herself." He. waved an arm toward the door “There’s millions of miles of sage just outside," be said. “And millions of_cows and girls." (TO BB OONTINUKD.)

TI HE admit It Is not just the book to while away time that must be spent od a Mck bed. « It is not the kind of literature which gets you out of yourself when you are low spirited, and helps you to forget your troubles. Nor Is it the sort of mental tonic you Deed after a barh day’s work at the office. But it Is a very excellent book to read, nevertheless— and by “reed" I do not mean to glance at It to find tbe definition of a word, but to fol­ low page after png*1, for as much an half an hour at a time. If you will do that every few days you will begin to find it interesting and make a habit of It I began dictionary reading by ac­ cident I was looking up the meaning of a word which I had encountered in an­ other volume, and the definition of the next word eaught my eye. I discovered that this word was also a strangerg to me. ■ I ran my eye along the page, and learned that I was In company about which I knew very little. So I kept on, and read six or seven pages, and found all of them worth while. I knew, of course, that I would not acquire a vocabulary in any such fashion as that, but It did help mo to think about the meanings of words, and to discover several which l thought I understood but which I bad not understood at all. These stuck in my mind, and some few of tiie others did. We use words as we hear them usually. Our vocabularies are most­ ly formed by those about us, to whom we listen. Unless we “have to be shown.’ which means that we have natural)) inquiring minds, we take the con nectlon in which the words are used for granted. And glancing through the diction ary discloses an astonishing numbei of mistakes which we have mad' through life. • • • Exact use of words is very impor­ tant We must think exactly to think well, and as we have to think in words we ought to acquire the best possible equipment to think with. Pick up a good dictionary, and open it anywhere. Run your eye down the page. Note meanings, and derivations. Notice the use that Is made of the words by authors wlw are quoted. That In Itself Is Interesting, and you will be delighted every time you discover a quotation you know, as s child is delighted by seeing a familiar face in a crowd. 8*«P a good dictionary by your desk. Use it to look up tbe strange words you meet with—and while thus using it, read on down or up tbe page, and examine into twenty or fifty or a bun dred other words. You will be surprised, not only at tbe mistakes you have been making, but at the Improvement you will make In your own speech.

Men’s faith Mounts higher than of old. No crumbling creed Can take from the immortal soul the need Of that supreme Creator, God. The wraith Of dead beliefs we cherished in our youth Fades but to let us welcome new­ born Truth. Man may not worship at the ancient shrine Prone on his face, in self-accusIng scorn That night is past: he hails a fairer And knows himself a something all divine. No humble worm whose heritage is sin. But, bom of God. he feels the Christ within. Not loud his prayers as in the olden time. But deep his reverence for that mighty Force, That occult working of the great All Source Which makes the present era so sub­ lime. Religion now means something high and broad. And man stood never half so near to God. —From October Cosmopolitan.

Let’s Keep This Advantage For Michigan CHURCH NEWS GOING TO QUIT HANDLING RANGES EVERY ONE MUST GO Seth I. Zemer WNCM£5T£R Senator Vandenberg is the Republican candidate to succeed himself. He has a powerful place in Washington which Michigan cannot afford to lose. Vice President Dawes says he knows no Senator “who has started so auspiciously or who gives such promise of statesmanship" as Vandenberg. He has important committee places which can be reached only by the "Seniority” which he now enjoys. He has demonstrated that he is a dependable friend to Agriculture and to Labor and to Industry. He is Michigan’s prime reliance in the fight for the St. Lawrence Waterway which means so much to our state. He is a man of unchallenged moral character and ideals and honor and integrity. He is one of the leading Constitutional Authorities in the United States. Michigan cannot afford to lose this advantage. Think of your own wel­ fare when you vote for U. S. Senator. If you do, you will unhesitatingly vote for Vandenberg. (You have to vote for him TWICE—Long and Short Terms—because one follows the other.)

Tables—lots of tables—end tables, center tables, gateleg tables, in fact any table which might be termed an "occasional” table, was the sight which greeted a representative of The News last Thursday morning, when, on invi­ tation of officials of the Lenta Table Company, lie made a trip to and through that company’s factory here In Nashville. And numbered among the variety of tables which were on display were those built of mahogany, some walnut, some in new patterns known as the "Art Modeme”, some In old fashioned colonla’.'design and others of the more staple patterns, all fashioned to ap­ peal coHtje most fastidious taste among the buying" public. The display which greeted we sight­ seers was an unusual one in that it was to be shipped to Grand Rapids that day for display at the furniture show* in progress in the “furniture city” at this time. Lentz tables form an at­ tractive section of that display and incidentally Nashville gets a fair por­ tion of publicity because of the loca­ tion of this splendid factory here. Seventy-eight pieces of fine tables from the local Victory are numbered in the display. History of the Lentz company goes back a good many years for its begin­ ning. ’Way back in ’66 Jacob Lentz, a cabinet maker by trade, migrated to Nashville from Rochester. New York, and established himself here, manu­ facturing cupboards, chairs and cof­ fins for the Indians and what few whites lived hereabouts at that time. In due time his sons, Lewis E.. Albert and Charles Lentz, became associat­ ed with him and in 1884. the manu­ facturing and retail business suffering a slump, wholesaling became a part of their business and chairs, beds and tables were sold to dealers in numer­ ous nearby towns with the result that the manufacturing end of the business continued on the upgrade. In 1891 the original factory which was located west of the store nowowned by John Appelman. burned down and the company was forced to find new location. It was then that the company was incorporated and the factory site now occupied was purchased and building operations be­ gun. As a result of the foresight and good business judgment of the Lentz family the corporation has grown into an efficient and progressive business in­ stitution with splendid buildings and manufacturing facilities, incorporated at *100.000. and employing 80 men and < Continued from first page* BUSINESS NEWS —All kinds o: washers.

Although in the downtown districts of our cities the sidewalks ore still crowded with pedestrians, it is prob­ ably true that walking has become an obsolete par.time in America. The rushing in and out of stores in the shopping districts isn't walking any­ way, In the opinion of lovers of that form of physical exercise. We have lost the feeling of leisure which Ln former days was so conduc­ ive to walking. Even in our motoring we seem to be possessed of the idea that we must hurry to get somewhere, although we may have no particular destination in mind. An Englishman who even during his visit to this coun­ try spent much time in walking said of us tiiat the pictures in periodcals representing the occupants of automo­ biles reclining in luxury and enjoying magnificent scenery did not depict us truly- That is not the way we cover the miles. He was greatly amused over the fact that during his ♦alklng tours he was frequently offered rides by motorists; ■'they do not seem to understand," he says, “that a man on a walking tour is not in need of vehicular convey­ ance. They act as if the best tiling about walking is giving it up and hav­ ing a ride." Obviously the automobile does not permit of sauntering. When the road is good, there comes the irresistible impulse to make the most of it, which to nearly all drivers means anywhere from 35 to 60 miles an hour. And con­ sequently there Is lacking the oppor­ tunity for quiet enjoyment of the pass­ ing landscape; and lacking too is the inducement for reflection and restful meditation on which walking, either by one's self or with agreeable com­ panions, makes almost Inevitable. ' In its own way motoring lias Its pleasures, and on the whole they are no less than those of walking. And perhaps in the stress of modern life it Is only natural that we should have taken to the thrill-producing form of exercise. SOLVING THE FARM PROBLEM The problem of farm labor shortage, which is said to have troubled agricul­ ture In some parts of the country, will be solved by Increased use of power on the farm, is the opinion of E. A. Stew­ art, division of agricultural engineer­ ing, University of Minnesota. While we may have six times the population in 1950 as in 1850. it is prob­ able that the decrease in farm work­ ers. which began a number of years ago, will continue until by 1950 no more farm workers will be necessary to supply food for a population of 150 million than were necessary in 1850 to supply sustenance to 25 million, ac­ cording to Mr. Stewart. "Use of mechanical power Ln agri­ culture." he 'said. "Is so modern that still more than two-thirds of the world's total food supply is obtained by man power only, and less than five ner cent by mechanical power. Only a baby, power farming is regarded by many with the Indifference that greet­ ed the advent of machine farming. But. what machine farming has done for this country in the last century will be more than duplicated by power farming in the 20th century." The same change is coming over ag­ riculture that has been effected in modem industry. The future trend win be toward high production with the aid of power. Successful farming will no longer depend on a large labor supply, that of necessity Is expensive, slow, and in comparison with power operated equipment. Inefficient and wasteful. Farm power is advancing agricultural civilization and placing It on a new plane of economic Importance.

She lived in the community where she was bom all of her life and was loved and respected by all. She was converted and Joined the Methodist Episcopal church years ago. She was a faithful worker In the church and Ladles Aid society of which she was president at the time of her death, and was always willing to do more than her share of the work of the church and society or any worthy cause. She was also a member of the Eastern Star. She was a kind and loving wife, a faithful and devoted mother and no toll nor sacri­ fice was too great for her to make for her children or her home. She had been in failing health for several years, but bore her sufferings and trials with a smiling face, few realizing her bodily weakness. and so her sudden death came as a great chock to her many friends. She has gone on before us to the Father's house of many mansions, but the memory of her kindly deeds, the many tasks of love her willing hands performed will linger with us as the fragrance oi a rose crushed and broken.

Of these, 130 were gang killings. Yet not a single man responsible for any of the gang murders was punished, and in 104 of the cases no arrests were made.

With a progra mwhlch promises to be extremely interesting and informa­ tive in ita nature, as well as entertain­ ing for those who attend, members of the Nashville-Vermontville Credit Ex­ change will meet on Thursday evening for a supper and business meeting at Bolsens Bakery. Supper will be served at 6:46 o'clock and it is expected a large portion of the membership from the two towns will be in attend­ ance. Speakers of the evening who will bring a working knowledge of credit exchange are Walter L. Kirby, man­ ager of the Lansing Credit Exchange, and Earl Wright, manager of the Ionia Credit Exchange. Mr. Wright is also secretary of the . State Credit Men's Association. Both men bring a wide experience in their chosen fields and it is expected local business men will profit greatly through their visit here. The Nashville-Vermontville Credit Exchange was organized in February of this year under the Shelby plan, a plan which is used extensively through­ out the smaller towns and one which has proved to be practical In Its per­ formance here. More than two thous­ and accounts are listed in the exchange which gives one of a half dozen rat­ ings to each of the persons contract­ ing such account. Exchange of these individual ratings permits advance knowledge of the safety of credit ex­ tension and thereby has saved many business people what otherwise might have been • considerable losses. Offi­ cials of the local exchange state that many members have profited through coojx’rntion with the organization and the meeting Thursday evening is in­ tended to further enhance its value to business- people of these neighboring towns. MISS MARGARET HUNT WINS HONORS IN VOCAL CONTEST Miss Margare Louise Hunt, daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Delmer Hunt of 307 North Jefferson St.. Bay City. Mich., and a granddaughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Marshall of Maple Grove, recently won first place in the girls' section of the Atwater-Kent vocal contest held in Bay county. MUs Hunt is well known to many Nashville folks, as she attended grade school here for one year. She has resided in Bay City since 1917, and graduated from Central high with the class of February, 1928. The Bay City TlmesTribune comments on her vocal abili­ ty as follows: "Miss Hunt’s voice is a natural so­ prano. Her vocal training was obtained tn Eastern Junior high under Mrs. Charles Pettit, and in Central high un­ der Charles H. White and H. Russell Evans. , “A member of the Girls' Glee club and mixed chorus, she took a promin­ ent part Ln the activities of both ororganlzations, and also sang special parts in “Pan on a Summer's Day," "Colonial Eebnea,*’ and a minstrel show given by the school. She has al­ so broadcast fron. WSK.C. "In connection with her school music she was honored by being chosen soloist for the baccalaureate service and the cnmmrnreTnmt exercises. She lias attended the district and state high school contests several times. Most of her work outside of school has been along sacred lines. One season she was soprano of the quartet at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Her voice has been developed mostly by close attention to detail and home practice. When asked where she got her voice, she replied: ‘Probably from my daddy, for he is a tenor. While he was studying he purchased several solo parts and then work called him away from home so much that he did not use them. I got busy and learned them, afterward singing In public. My desire is to become a concert singer.’ " The "largest family”—in pounds—has come to Los Angeles from Topeka. Kan. It is the West family, and its 6 mem­ bers constitute "1422 pounds of fami­ ly.” Shown in the picture are Bernard, Jessie and Leonard. NASHVILLE DROPS GAMEJOJIASTINGS LOCALS CROSS GOAL LINE ONCE FOR TOUCHDOWN AND 6 POINTS TO VISITORS' 33. Playing a B class team proved to be the undoing of Nashville, when Hast­ ings won the game by a 33 to 6 score. Nashville was unable to break up their fake passes which fact accounted for the greater part of their score. Hastings kicked off to Nashville who were downed deep in their own terri­ tory. Here they lost the ball, and Hastings on a fake pass made her first score. Hastings made two other touch downs before the half, and led 20 to 0 at the end of the second perod. Hastings registered another count Ln the third quarter. The fourth quar­ ter was evenly played. Nashville op­ ened up a passing attack. Nelson to Mason and Williams, which brought the ball to a position where Tieche on a line plunge put the ball over the goal line. Hastings received the ball, but lost it on downs and Nashville started another march for the goax line, aided by passes and Nelson's end runs, but lost the ball when they were unable to make the necessary yards for a first down, being hindered by a fifteen yard penalty. Hastings then on a pass and an end run. made the final score. The Nashville line played exceeding­ ly well, but were unable to stop Hast­ ings' clever plays. Nashville closes the season with Bellevue Friday. TRAPPING SEASON OPENS THURSDAY IN MICHIGAN The open season for the trapping of muskrats, mink and skunk is as fol­ lows: Muskrats.

Total Eclipse of the Moon Visible on November 27 Everyone in the United States will have the opportunity of seeing the to­ tal eclipse of the moon coming No­ vember 27—but the spectators will have to be pretty early. For the moon will enter the earth’s shadow at 2:34 a. m., eastern standard time. Total eclipse begins at 3:33 and lasts until 4:29 o'clock, when the moon begins to emerge. At 5:39 a. m. the eclipse will be over. Central times are one hour earlier, mountain times two hours and Pacific times three hours. The moon will probably not disap­ pear from view although entirely with­ in the shadow for nearly an hour. Con­ siderable sunlight is refracted Into the ottadow through the ring of the earth's atmosphere around the base of . the shadow. The moon at that time will be dim and noticeably red like the set­ ting sun. During a lunar eclipse, recent ob­ servations have shown, the mbon's surface temperature drops from 170 de­ grees Fahrenheit immediately before NUMBER 17 NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, NOV. 15, 1928 VOLUME LVI the eclipse to 190 degrees below during the total phase. A drop of 360 degrees in an hour or two! Some cold wave! Of course, no one lives on the moon, for it is air­ lees and barren. The absence of at­ mospheric protecttan permits the sud­ den change in temperature. During the long lunar night, a thermometer at the surface would register not higher than 150 degrees below zero. The earth's conical shadow stretches nearly a million miles into space. At intervals of 29 1-2 days the moon, then at the full phase, overtakes the shad­ ow; but it passes usually above or be­ low and there is no eclipse. The num­ ber of lunar eclipses in a year varies from three to none at all. Some of them are only partial and not visible from the earth. Astronomers now know far in advance the times and circumstances of eclipses. At the times of full moon, near the middle and the end of the year, conditions are most favorable for eclipses. Considering the prospects early last mmmer, the Michigan corn crop turn­ ed out surprisingly well this year, and after continued gains throughout the season because of favorable weather, a nearly average yield of 33.7 bushels per acre was the November estimate by Herbert E. Powell, Commissioner of Agriculture and Verne H. Church, Ag­ ricultural Statistician. The total com production in Michigan Is a good crop, but it is nearly eight millions below the average production due. to the short acreage. About one-third of this com will go into Michigan alios yielding 7.1 tons of silage com per acre. • Al­ though more com reached maturity than last year, the per cent merchant­ able was less than average. Through the assistance of the rural mail carriers, the acreage of field beans lost because of heavy rains last sum­ mer has been determined by the Crop Reporting Service to be less than many had thought. The final survey showed that the damaged area was smaller than at first believed, and that many of the badly damaged fields were sal­ vaged. Of the 600.000 acres planted to beans in the State last spring. 543,000 acres were harvested. Although the bean yield was light in the badly dam­ aged areas, it was above average in other sections where the harvested acreage was large also. With the final yield estimated at eleven bushels per acre, Michigan leads all States in bean production with 5373.000 bushels. The crop is of good quality, and the pick Is only 5.5 per cent this year compared with an average of 8.2 per cent. On November first the total United States bean crop was estimated to be about the same size as last year. A final United States potato yield of 1213 bushels per acre places the country’s crop at 465.651.000 bushels, which is the largest ever known and amounts to about eighty million bush­ els more than the average consump­ tion. Potato prices are correspondingly low. and the outlook is discouraging. Michigan did her part in producing this crop and ranks third in potato production this year with a crop of 35.880,000 bushels as a result of a large acreage and above average yield. Mich­ igan potatoes are better quality than last year in most sections. The Michigan sugar beet crop is small. Reports indicate that only about 69.000 acres or three-fourths of the planted acreage remained for har­ vest. and the yield was only 6.2 tons per acre. The total crop is less than half of the usual The Michigan apple crop was larger than last year but not up to average because of the near failure of Baldwins and the light yield of other winter va­ rieties. The pear crop for this State was above average. Although grapes were a large crop, they matured slow­ ly and ripened unevenly which resulted in poor quality. DRAFT GOLTS HOLD FARMERSJNTEREST The finnnni Masonic school of in­ struction for this district was held at the local Masonic temple on Tuesday evening; approximately one hundred members of' Masonic bodies from Hastings, Vermontville, Kalamo and Nashville attending. Grand Lecturer Frank O. Gilbert, of Bay City, attend­ ed in the capacity of instructor and work of the Maste- Mason wxs exem­ plified. Dr. Alton Vance being raised to this sublime degree. Opening with a sumptuous supper served at 6:30 tn the dining room of the temple, and served by ladies of the Eastern Star, the session was con­ tinued immediately after in the lodge room above with Worshipful Master Percy Penfold presiding. The outstanding feature of the even­ ing was the work of a newly develop­ ed Fellowcraft team under the direc­ tion of E. L. Kane, which put on the degree work of the evening outfitted in new regalia just received and made their work extremely effective and im­ pressive. Officers of the visiting lodges also took part in the evening’s cere­ monies. During the course of his remarks to the members present the grand lec­ turer took occasion to compliment the local organization on the erection of their excellent temple here in Nash­ ville. The facilities for discharge of regular lodge duties have been greatly enhanced since its completion and the visiting official was decidedly pleased with the progressive spirit shown here. FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ERNST MAURER TUES. SON OF PHILIP MAURER, NASH­ VILLE. PASSED AWAY IN BATTLE CREEK HOSPITAL.

CHINESE RIN6NECKS WERE □BERATED HERE TUESDAY TWO WOLVERINE CHAMPS CHRISTMAS SEALS WILL CD ON SALE ON THANKSGIVING $275,000 EXPECTED TO BE RECEIV­ ED FROM SALE THROUGHOUT THE STATE THIS YEAR. This picture of two of Michigan's outstanding dairy champions was "caught” at the National Dairy Ex­ position at Memphis, Tenn. Harold Strange, of Grand Ledge, is Michigan's champion dairy calf club member for 1928 and Mountain Ash Co^antha Ormsby was junior champion Holstein of the Michigan State Fair this year. GOOD SIRES IMPROVE DAIRY HERD QUALITY PUREBREDS FROM TESTED DAMS ECONOMICAL WAY TO BETTER CATTLE. The marketing of 6,000 to 8,000 bulls from Michigan each year is of interest mainly to the makers of bologna, but the replacement of these animals in the state's dairy herds is a problem that draws the attention of dairy husban­ dry men at Michigan State College. The attention of the dairy specialists is attracted because the use for good sires from tested dams in a dairy is one of the most rapid and economical means of increasing the production of the herd in future years, and there is a chance to replace, with a better In­ dividual, each bull whch is sold. The dairy breeders associations in Macomb county are trying out a plan of assisting farmers to get good bulls tor replacement of the ones which are sold each year. A sale on November 20 at Armada, at which bulls only will be disposed of, has been arranged in that county. A committee from the associations has selected 12 Holsteins and five Jer­ seys which will be offered to bidders at Armada. These bulls are from dams which have known production records. . A similar sale was held in Macomb county last yea:. but some of tlw bulls which were sold came from herds outsde of the county. This year, the ani­ mals will be selected from local herds. Dairy husbandry specialists from the College say that breeders associations In other counties are planning to try this method of replacng good bulls in tiie herds of their counties.

CHRISTMAS TREES. The perennial question as to whether it is not a shocking waste of our timber resources to cut down hundreds of thousands of spruce and other ever­ greens for Christmas trees is again be­ ing discussed. And once more the American Tree Association defends the use of young conifers for Yuletide or­ namental purposes and advises those who arc protesting against the alleged waste to direct their energy to educat­ ing the people as to the proper use of forests. The American Tree Association’s position on the matter is that taken by all the leading conservationists, who hold that conservation does not mean there shall be curtailment of the legit­ imate use of our resources but that wasteful exploitation shall be stopped. Christmas trees are a legitimate use of Some of those who are objecting to the cutting down of evergreens for this nurpose are letting their emotions get the better of their common sense. Thus one person says: "Why not teach the children that every Christmas tree may mean that some poor little bird is without a place to sleep?" It is assumed by those who are op­ posing Christmas trees that If they were not cut down all would grow in­ to tall timber suitable for saw-logs. But the assumption is unwarranted Both when planted by man and by Nature the conifers spring up in thick clusters, so close together that there is no room for all to reach maturity. Some must yield If others are to have space and light. Foresters according­ ly deliberately thin out the stand by cutting some of the small trees to make room for those that are to be al­ lowed to grow. Trees thus removed may be used for Christmas purposes If they were not removed they would probably be killed in the struggle for existence with their neighbors. But even if al! the Christmas trees would grow up if left undisturbed, the cutting of them would still be Justified because of the pleasure they give chil­ dren. Making a fuss over the destruc­ tion of Christmas trees is a case of saving at the spigot and wasting at the TOM MIX in PAINTED POST SUN. and MON, NOV. IS-IS.

She was angry with herself for be­ lieving him sincere, for being con­ vinced that he, too, aa he had several times intimated, was tied to much the same fashion as beraelf. The explana­ tion came to her to an illuminating flash. The elder Harris must have nursed a lifelong enmity against her father, who bad believed him the moat devoted friend on earth. She had often heard the tale of how her parent had, to all friendli­ ness, followed old Bill Harris step by step from Dodge City to the Platte, to old Fort Laramie and finally to the present Three Bar range. Perhaps the one so followed bad felt that Cal Warren was but the hated symbol of the whole dan of squatters who bad driven him from place, to place and eventually forced him to relinquish his .hope of seeing the Three Bar brand on a hundred thousand rows; that his friendliness had been simu­ lated. his vindictiveness nursed and finally consummated by leaving his af­ fairs to such fashion that his son must carry on the work his trickery had begun. Harris resumed where he had bro­ ken off. “And Td hare tossed It off, as I told you once. If the Three Bar girl had turned out to be any except you. You've bad a tough problem to work out, giri," he said. "I sold out my lit­ tle Box L outfit for more than It was worth—and figured to stop the leak at the Three Bar and put the old brand on its feet." His calm assurance on this point exasperated the girl. “How?" she demanded. “What can you do?" She pointed toward the six men near the wagon. “During the time you spent prowling the hills did you ever come across those men?" “Not to pai round with them," he confessed. "But I did cut their trail now and then. They're not the outfit that's going to be hardest to handle when the time arrives.” “What do you mean?” she asked. "No one has ever been able to handle them up to date." “Did it ever strike you as queer that Slade could come Into this coun­ try twelve years back, with nothing but a long rope and a running iron, and be owning thirty thousand head today Y’ “He has the knack to protect his own and increase,” she said. "They’re afraid of Slade." The girl shook her head impatient­ ly and looked across at the six men who ate her fare. “Look at them,” she flared.

Why doesn't some man that is a man kill that al­ bino flend and all his whelps and rid the country of bls breed? Even Slade lets them put up at his place." “If they're pestering you I’ll order them off," he said. "And what effect would that have?* she inquired scornfully. “The effect of causing them to climb their .horses and amble off down the ebuntry,” he returned. He sprawled on the grass, his head propped on one hand as he regarded them. •Then probably you’d better order them off," she suggested. "You have my permission. Now’s your chance to make good the lordly brag of helping the Three Bar out of the bole."

Frinstance, the pictures on the walls, and even the pictures on the linoleum on the floors (almost); the bookcase and private library, the office chair and the roll-top desk with all its valuable contents, which by the way included papers and letters ga­ lore—private, personal, secret and oth­ erwise. Say. it would be Impossible to tell you of all the things that were In that desk, therefore we’ll make further attempt. Everything in'the room was reserved with the exception of the “editorial shears’’, and they were re­ luctantly left. It was a pathetic sight to watch our old boss bid those shears a fond farewell. Tears dimmed his eyes as his mind travelled back (no doubt) over those forty long years and recalled to his memory the many many hours of hard labor those faithful shears had saved him. (Little secret —An editor's pet motto: “The shears is mightier than the pen.") When the day came—TO MOVE: Greenfield's dray was backed into the narrow alley on the west, and stopped directly underneath thb office window, which by the way had to be removed bodily regardless of panes or dlsflgwments, so "things" could be handed cut. Please don’t get the wrong im­ pression, that is, get the idea that “Mac" (by the way. that’s our new boss, meet him. We’ve learned to call him “Mac” as easily as a duck takes to water—that’s the name (Mac) that he wishes all his newly made friends and his frends to be, to know him by) Oh. yes—don’t get the idea that Mac resorted to the window route and the back alley to get rid of Big Fike, or even refused to allow that forty years’ accumulation and collection of “an­ tiques" to be carried out the front door. No, that wasn't the reason at all—it was simply this: The large window af­ forded the only opening of sufficient size for the big roll-top desk to worm its way through. If you would like to know how under the shining sun that desk ever got into the private office in the FIRST PLACE—read on: Version I—(or Big Fike's alibi) Sev­ eral years ago when the addition was built on the rear, to be used as a stock room and garage combined, the old stock room was enlarged and remod­ elled into a private office or editor’s sanctum as it is sc often called. (By the way—the private sanctum is the room where the editor locks himself in when he sees some feller coming with blood than the editor, you know.) Big Fike claims he placed his big desk in one comer of the front room and then built the office around it Not dream­ ing of ever selling out or moving the desk again, little attention was given to the size ot the door openings lead­ ing to and from the office. (Gosh, it’s the honest fact, that desk was almost there for keeps. Even the large win­ dow had only an even sixty-fourth of an inch to spare.) Version II— (or what we claim to know about it) We remember distinct­ ly, why. when and HOW that desk got Into that “predicament room." If we have forgotten any of the minutest de­ tails ourself—Ab will remember them for us—so there, that makes two againt one. But then, we are positive we are right—why we've never been known to ADMIT that we were wrong, even in a friendly whist game. We claim that the desk simply “grew up" with the business, so to speak. Wte know that the desk went through the door easy enough fifteen years ago—but it sure wouldn't come back out Again fifteen years later. You may not believe us, but that desk has grown and GROAN­ ED until It is actually twice the size it was the first day it was placed In Its new quarters. _ Most of you. perhaps all, have seen an old suit case which at some time had been called upon to do double du­ ty—Its sides; bulging os if they were going to explode. Well, that suit case never had a chance to regain It original size and proportions, did it? No! And that's exactly what was the trouble with Big Fike's roll-top—it had sort of lost its symmetrical contour. Of course you know what we mean, but for fear you do not, we'll tell you. We claim our ex-tx»s was a bit thoughtless in overloading his desk at times—the draws, tlie pigeon holes, in fact every nook and crevice has been over-bur­ dened. Io, these many long years. The desk just simply kept expanding and expanding and—well, you know the re­ sult that desk down to Phil Penfold's blacksmith shop and have it equipped with iron hoops—it's liable to keep right on growing and crowd Ed.

During that year the Red Cross took the field Ln Florida following the well known devastating hurricane which caused immense loss of life and prop­ erty, was on the job during the Miss­ issippi flood disaster, feeding and oth­ erwise caring far more than a half mil­ lion people, the bulk of whom were sheltered in Red Cross camps. Seven states were afflicted during this flood which created one of the greatest re­ habilitation problems ever confronted by the Red Cross. These are only two of the 75 disas­ ters within the United States during the last fiscal year. In addition there were 20 calls In foreign countries for the helping hand of this world wide organization. Twenty-five states of the United States were scenes of disas­ ters requiring the services of this -Greatest Mother." In the period' of years since 1881 when it was organized, the Red Cross has dealt with approximately 1119 disasters at home and abroad and has expended more than $75.000.000—an average , in excess of $1,500,000 annually —entrusted to it for relief. In the pojt three years alone it has served as the agency of relief in 310 disasters, administering nearly $30,500,000 of re­ lief funds. Those in charge of the campaign for funds now Ln progress urge a generous response. Mrs. S. E. Powers Is lo­ cal chairman.

SEE DANGER IN DEVELOPING UNPROFITABLE MUCK AREAS Danger of farmers expending time and effort on new muck areas in the state that will not give profitable re­ turns on the Investment, is believed imminent by Paul M. Harmer, muck specialist at the Michigan State Col­ lege. Reduced yields in eastern much areas because of adverse weather conditions, have resulted in a decided shortage in many of the special muck crops. This fa especially true of onions and carrots, and to a leas extent of celery and cab­ bage, according to Mr. Harmer. The effect of favorable prices is already apparent in the desire of many farm­ ers to develop new muck areas or to Increase their acreage on the old areas. Mr. Harmer calls attenton to the fact that not all mucks are alike in their ability to produce crops. "The fact that <me muck area will produce good crops is no Indication that another nearby area win also give good results,*' he says. "Be sure that you know the pos­ sibilities of a new area of muck before you spend money preparing it for crops." TWO HUNTERS RETURN « WITH SPLENDID DEER.

That skunk must have been equipped with a double-strength atomizer. When Cop tried to walk to-the bouse, that is. where he last saw the house before the catastrophe, gee whiz he couldn’t even see the light from the lamp through the window, the air was so thick and blue. The next beet thing was to yell for help and a change of raiment. Cop’s clothing was poked out through the keyhole in the bock door—Mrs. Pennock didn’t take any chances of getting the door open and than be un­ able to get it shut again. You bet not. Nowadays Cop is taking due and time­ ly precautions. He has three changes of clothing: One suit to wear at home; one suit to go and come from him home—the third suit he keeps sub­ merged tn the river for what alls it— and there is PLENTY.

Many and varied are the problems that confront the school teacher. Quite often a pupil will bring a little note with the pleading request: "Please ex­ cuse for a day. an hour, or two hours, etc." Some times these excuses are in writing, some times they are verbal— and some times they are just “worn’’ to school, if you know what we mean. This last named kind of excuses are more prevalent along about the time of year when trapping is so fashion­ able among the men, and boys. This particular kind of excuse is very elas­ tic in its requests—it's sort of left up to the judgment of the teacher— whether it be for one hour, two hours, a day. or for LIFE. We "heard” that one of these highly perfumed "excuses" came to school the fore part of the week, and the estimable teacher was somewhat puzzled for a time about the delicate matter. There was no doubt in hep mind but that the request should be granted, but for how long? She finally took the happy medium and compro­ mised on a fifty-fifty basis.

Must Be Cultivated Moral strength is like disposition, a tnatter of training and habit Do You Want It? If you want “all your motor’s got” in power, look first for a grade of gasoline that has the power elements refined into it—highly volatile and free from non-bumable ash. DIXIE Gas is especially refined to meet new-motor design requirements. It packs a terrific wallop in every drop. Extremely volatile, it instantly ignites with a zoom and a smash at the spark of every plug that gives your motor new life and creates a smooth, steady flow of master­ ful power. Try DIXIE the next time you need gas! You’ll find it at DIXIE Stations all over the state, and it will be courteously and promptly served in true DIXIE style.

Mr. Johnson never liked to hear his wife scold, so he said, "Well. I will go for about an hour then I’ll come back and help you.” "Oh, no you won’t You will stay right here and help me get wood im­ mediately, and I will be watching you from the window while I am baking." his wife replied. Mr. Johnson said no more, but took off his huntng coat and went out to saw wood.' About five mnutea later Mr. HU and his friend. Mr. Brown, tame after him. They called from, the side of the house. "Are you ready Fred?" Mr. Johnson motioned for them to come around and look in at the window. They came and saw his wife just passing. The men told him they would go in and ask her if he might go and while they were asking, he should go In the back door and get his coat, hat and gun and then they would sneak away. This they did. He got his coat, hat and gun and went back to the wood pile. When the men came out Mr. Johnson and they started away toward the woods. Mr. Johnson's wife was too busy to watch him for a few minutes! and she did not notice that he had gone. Fif­ teen minutes later then* was a honking of horns in front of the house and Mrs. Johnson went outside where they were. They were her mother and father. They went into the house, all talking at once. Mrs. Johnson said she would call Fred as he waa just outride sawing wood. When she got outside what was her amazement to see him gone! She went back in the house to see if his coat and gun were gone. Sure enough they were. She went in where her mother was and told her that Fred must have gone over to the neighbors, although she knew..well enough where Morgan P. T. A. he had gone.

They Ascended the First Slopes. picked a long ridge and followed it to the crest of the low divide between that valley and the next. As they reached the bead of the first draw that led back down Into the valley Harris waved an arm. “Carp,” he called, and a middle-aged man named Carpenter, abbreviated to Carp, wheeled his horse from the group and headed down the draw. A half-mile farther on they reached the head of another gulch. "Hanson r the new foreman called. , and the mon who repped for the Half­ moon D dropped out. One man was detailed to work each draw and when some five miles up the divide there were but half the crew left. Tbe fore­ man led the way to the opposite di­ vide and doubled back, sending a man down every gulch. Harris and the girl worked the last draw themselves and when they drove their cows out of the mouth of It they found a herd already milled, two hun­ dred yards above tbe wagon. Harris left her and circled the bunch, mating It When the last rider appeared ♦1th his bunch and threw It Into the herd _ _ Harris signaled al) hands to change mounts. Half the men repaired to the rope corral and caught up cow horses while the balance of the crew held the herd, each one relieving some other as soon as be had saddled a fresh horse. A sagebrush Cre was burning fifty yards above the wagon and each man rode past it leaned from his saddle and dropped his running Iron in tbe flame. The men worked round the edge of tbe bunch and \sllpped a noose on every calf that was thrown to the edge of the constantly shifting mass. Morrow roped the flrat ■ calf and dragged it to tbe fire. As ranch as she loved the round-up. many times as she had seen It. Billie Warren had never become calloused to tbe brutalities perpetrated an the calve*. She withdrew and sat In the shade of the wagon. She was down­ wind and the dust raised by the trampling hoofs floated down to her. mingled with the odor ot steaming cows, the acrid smoke of the sage fire and the taint of scorched hair and flesh. In a short space of time the herd had been worked, the last calf brand­ ed. and Harris led tbe men up tbe bottoms. Five miles up the valley, st tbe spot where he had crossed it a few hours before, they found the wagon waiting at tbe new stand, tbe corral refashioned and the refunds in­ side it It was but ten o'dock but the first circle bad commenced nt four. The noon meal on the round-up was served whenever the first circle was completed. The men fell raven ously on tlie hot meal, changed to fresh circle horses and started again. It was falling dunk when the herd gathered in the third circle had been worked and the Last calf branded for the day. At the end of tbe first week out from the ranch Harris pulled up bls borae beside the girt's and showed her his tally book. “We've run Slade's mark oc more calves than we have our own." bo said. “That's one way be works.* said. • “It's pure design." be stated. •His boys are busy shoving his cows from the middle all ways so that when fall cornea be has a good inside block that's only been lightly Cad over. They Cal! back oo that for winter feed. Last winter, when cows wore dying like rata, his men were out drifting Slade's staff back toward bls middle “But—" "But you thought be was doing it as a favor to you----- getting bls sur­ plus off your territory bo your own cows would have a better chance. That's the same kind of talk he float­ ed all round the line;' playlag the benevolent neighbor when In reality the old pirate had deliberately planned, year after year, to overcrowd your range end feed yoq out." “But his men would know," she ob­ jected "Not many of them would grasp the whole scheme of it," he raid. "You hadn't thought of it yourself, and what If a few of them did suraise? They're riding for his brand." The girl nodded. Thai unalterable code again—the religion of being loyal to one's brand. Not one ot Slade's men would balk at doing It knowing­ ly; each would do anything to ad­ vance his interests as long as be drew his pay from Slade. As they talked Harris detailed men for each draw but when they reached the point where they were due to drop down and cross tbe valley he ** * up his borae. “You take the rest of the circle, Carp," he Instructed Carpenter, Tm going tp ride,off up the rise a piece." The girl regarded him curiously. No less than three times in tbe last wruk be had stopped midway of tbe circle and asked her to complete it Now he bad turned It over to Carp and be signaled her to remain with him. •'Where are we going?" she asked as she watched the men ride down toward the bottoms. "And why?” "Back tlie way we came,'' be said. "And maybe I can show you why." He beaded back the divide they had just followed until he came to the saddle at the bead of a draw that led down to the valley. Far below them they could see a rider basing a bunch of cows out Into the bottoms. High on the right hand slope of the gulch lay a notch, a little blind basin watered by the seepage from a side­ hill spring, and there on the green bed of it a dozen cows with their calves grazed undisturbed. For per­ haps five mlnutra Harris lolled side­ wise tn the saddle and watched them. Then a rider appeared on the ridge that divided that draw from tbe next, dropped in below the cows and head­ ed them back over the ridge into the draw from which he had appeared. Even at that distance she recognized this last man as Lanky Evans. Har­ ris resumed his way down the divide and she knew that he had discovered some irregularity for which be had been seeking. "Who was the man that overlooked those cows?” she asked. “Who worked that draw?" “Morrow." be raid. “His eyesight Is getting bad. That's the second time this week—and the last." "Thea Morrow is an Inside man for Harper," she said. “Drawing Three Bar pay and working against us. too." “Yea," he said. •'Only he’s an in­ side man for Slade." “But how could his leaving those calves behind benefit Slade? she de­ manded. "How could it benefit Harper r be countered. "Can you tel! me that?" She could not and motioned for him to go on. "None of Harper's men has a brand of bls own," be said. “They're living on the move. They can’t wait for calves to grow Op. Tbe way they work is to ran a bunch of beef steers across into Idaho. They'll plek up another bunch there and shove them across the Utah line and repeat by moving a drove of some Utah brand up In here. Only beef steers—quick turning stuff. You know about the reputation of the O V and the Lazy H Four." She knew nil too welt There was ■ half-feud, a smoldering distrust dis­ played between cowmen on each side of the three state lines, a triangle of ill feeling. It was current rumor that the O V and tbe Lazy H Four, rang­ ing far southwest of the Three Bar, would traffic In. any steers that came from across either the Utah or Idaho line. In the corner of those states were similar outfits that were receiv­ ing stations for rustled stock from the opposite sides.

"Then some 8lt.de rider happens to drop along after our wagon has moved on and he hazes them off south.

"The calves would still with motherswearing the Three Bar mark," she said. "After they leave the cows they're slicks, fair game for the first man that puts his rope on them—and Blade wouldn't risk running one of his own brands oo them before they left the cows." "Not cue of his owe, do," Harris said; “only one that's going to be his later on. Did It ever strike you as queer that Slade, whose way is to crush every new outfit should suffer • soft-hearted streak every year or so and befriend some party that bad elected to start up for himself right In'the middle of Slade's range? And later buy him out? That's the way he came into nearly every brand he runs.

MAURER DIFFICULT FOR THE PEDDLER The peddler is a likeable fellow. He has to be, because his personality is half of the battle in house-to-house selling. He is sincere Ln his belief that he gives unusual values and “merch­ andise that your local stores cannot handle.’’ If he weren’t sincere, he couldn't sell. But he is usually Ignornot know that business methods have changed radically in the last genera­ tion. He does not know that margins of profit have decreased, that buying systems have been revolutionized. He does not know—because he has seldom had retail ownership experience—that the retail store Is the most economical method of merchandising In existence. The peddler doesn't dealize that his operations tend to tear down a com­ munity rather than build it up—or he doesn't care. He thinks that he is entitled to the privilege of doing bus­ iness from house-to-house ai much as the merchant Is entitled to do business in his store or shop. The peddler doesn't stop to think that the reason a great many of those houses exist Is due to the merchant being In business in the community, due to his spend­ ing money in the community, due to his paying taxes for schools and city government and Improvements and building, due to his contributions to church and charity and civic welfare. The peddler doesn’t realize that the only reason a community becomes available for his house-to-house sell­ ing .‘s because money is constantly passing from one hand to another in the continuous round of business life. Tlie peddler's way Is becoming more and more difficult in spite of his pleasing manner and his high-pressure selling talk. While the peddler may remain ignorant of the inefficiency of his merchandising method, his p roepec - coming rapidly educated. She knows that all is not gold that glitters. She is skeptical of samples after having paid C. O. D. for something Inferior. She knows that the peddler has to get a tremendous profit in order to do business, that he must have a profit just as the retail store must have a profit, that his selling talk about elim­ ination of the middleman, ’ producerto-consumer," etc., Is nothing but sales bunk. And she is becoming more loyal to her community. She realizes that it is a desirable community only In proportion to the degree to which It prospers. She prefers to buy where she can return for an adjustment If anything goes wrong. She is becom­ the ing a canny buyer. So the way of “ ■* peddler is increasingly hard. THE STRAIGHT ROAD.

That Nashville's schools are inade­ quate for the present day needs and requirements, and that large numbersof prospective pupils are attending high schools in other cities because of this lack of accommodation in Nashville, was one result of an investigation by a board of commerce committee which reported its findings to the body at its regular meeting at BeIson’s Bakery on Monday evening. Lack of equipment, room and departments of education which are demanded by educational authorities in higher institutions of learning were given as sufficient rea­ son why Nashville and vicinity should unite in the demand for a bigger and better center of education for Castle­ ton township as a whole—the township REV.

After six months of work, the codi­ fication of Michigan game and fish laws are about to be presented. On December 3 and 4, the proposed bills are to be discussed at a meeting to be held in the senate chamber of the state capitol building. Any person in­ terested in the conservation of the fish and game life of the state is extended an invitation to attend this session and Join the discussion. The invitation is being made because' the department feels that people of Michigan who are more or less connected with conser­ vation affairs will be intensely inter­ ested in the proposed legislation. The meeting is to be called to order at 9 o'clock (eastern standard time) December 3. This week thousands of tiny ships, each measuring less than an inch from prow to stern, will be launched on the first leg of voyage that eventually will carry them to all parts of Michigan. Representing the Ship of Health, and carrying on their mainsails a red double barred cross, the ships are the design printed on the 1928 tuberculosis Christmas seals. Distribution of the seals through the mails will be started by the Michigan Tuberculosis Associa­ tion on Thanksgiving Day. The ships inconspicuously are making their first trip on the insides of en­ velopes. but on their second voyages, to be made in the w>*eks preceding Christmas, they will be prominently displayed upon the backs of envelopes and on a variety of other articles.

They have a band, at least the makings of one. the Instru­ ments, uniforms, music, etc., and no leader. Lack of a leader does not mean there is no person available. On the other hand there is an instructor available, but no funds to compensate such an instructor. According to members of the board of education, all necessary arrange­ ments have been made up to the point of employing an instructor, when the state steps in with the edict that cer­ tain state laws must be compiled with before such an instructor may be em­ ployed. Since it is not possible to com­ ply with the state law under existing conditions, no school money may be appropriated fey that purpose. hence we have a band—and we haven't. An estimated cost of employing an instructor to develop the talent among school pupils has been placed at approximately two or three hun­ dred dollars. Those interested in the school band Idea, and there are many, are hoping funds may be available from some other source which will in­ sure the instruction needed.

A request for aid in a proposed paved highway north and south extending from Coldwater, where junction would be made with U. S. 112. through Bat­ tle Creek. Nashville. Ionia. Stanton. Remus, and points north, was included in a letter from tire Remus Exchange club to the local Chamber of Commerce read before that body at its meeting Monday evening. Because the Nashville commercial body has been actively engaged in furthering such a paved highway, in conjunction with similar organizations In other towns along the proposed route, it was voted to forward the Re­ mus letter to the highway committee of the Battle Creek Chamber of Com­ merce who are among the leaders in the project. Cooperation with other towns has been pledged by Nashville and aggressive participation in a campalgn which has for its goal such a paved highway has already been a part of the program here. Several journeys have been made back and forth among the cities and villages interested, let­ ters have been written urging such an improvement, and efforts arc nearing the place where direct action will be taken to get the approval of the state highway department and consequent building of the highway.

Arland. who was at home alone with his fath­ er. as Mrs. Swan was in Lansing visit­ ing relatives for a few days. High blood pressure was the cause of his sudden demise—Mr. Swan complaining before retiring that he wasn't feeling very well. The deceased was a man about fifty years of age. and practically his entire life had been spent on th" farm where he died, which is located threefourths mile south of the Wilson school house. Besides the sorrowing wife and the only son. Mr. Swan leaves a father, George Swan of this place, and many other relatives and a large num­ ber of friends.

Maple Grove Twp. Flying Achievements of Wright Brothers At First Created Only World’s Disbelief Farmers Can Now Get Noon Hour Farm News From Agriculture Dept. radio Nashville is facing a serious problem in the mattenot supplying a pure water supply to the! residents here, according to warnings issued by the state health department and received by village officials during the post few days. That the village water supply source, the Thomapple river, is con­ taminated beyond the point of safety for household use ri, the contention of Edward B. Rich, director of the state Bureau of Engineering, in a communi­ cation addressed to Village Clerk Ralph V. McNitt. in which the state official calls attention to the "danger­ ous contamination" of samples of water taken from Thornapple river at Nash­ ville on the first of November. Following advice that samples of wa­ ter taken from here showed evidence of contamination, state officials were a.'.<ed to amplify their statements with resfcest to the contamination with the result that Nashville's water supply stands condemned, not only for drink­ ing purposes, but also for household use of any kind. Attention of the vil­ lage is directed to the fact the Thorn­ apple river flows near Vermontville before reaching tills village and that such contamination as it receives in the village to the east could not be dis­ sipated in the short distance interven­ ing; that both time and distance are necessary to purify running water. Installatioiri-of purifying apparatus, in Itself inexpensive, is the only solu­ tion or procedure to be recommended by the state, and Mr. Rich points out the obvious advantage to be gained, from chlorine treatment of the pres­ ent water supply. The cost of chlori­ nation would be about fifty cents for each million gallons of water used. and in this case woulu not amount to over one or two dollars a month, while the apparatus for such treatment would cost between $500 and $1000, acording . to the state department. Since Nashville uses slightly more than two million gallons of water per month, it can readily be seen that puri(Continued on last page) WHO.

THE CALL FOR FARM RELIEF. One important farm organization which refused to support £he McNaryHaugen bill was the National Grange, and now Louis J. Taber, Master of the Grange, has declared that the McNaryHaugen bill is dead beyond recall. He urges farm organizations all over the country to forget past difficulties and unite behind a new program which Congress would accept promptly at the coming session and which the Presi­ dent would approve. It will not be easy to persuade the McNary-Haugenltes to follow this ad­ vice. Bringing the various farm or­ ganizations and Mr. Coolidge to an agreement is difficult, as proven by the fate of the Fess Bill two years ago and of the Curtis-Crisp bill at the last ses­ sion. The advocates of the McNary-Hau­ gen bill seem to be in no mood to ac­ cept this sort of legislation for they have repeatedly denounced it as futile. Indications seem to be that they would prefer no action at the coming short session, waiting rather for the spec­ ial session to be called by Mr. Hoover. THANKSGIVING THEN AND NOW. Some 300 years ago a few strong men in England said: "Let us cross the wide Atlantic. Let us go far- very far. away from England and risk life tn a new land. Let us there find a way to worship God after the dlcates of our consciences and tolerate no more the Interference of men in this old homeland that is no longer home-like." And th}- d'd even as they said they would do. Familiar faces and long loved scenes were behind, as this lit­ tle company of men and women ven­ tured forth into uncertain dangers and unspeakable hardships. Finally tliey set their feet upon a rock and with iron resolution went about the shaping of a new order of society. They had come neither for for gold nor conquest, but to build home and live in peace with God and man. So a day finally dawned when they feasted well and felt the thrill of that first flu th of successs. Tne In­ dians looked on. and some came to partake of the feast. The feast ended. The new world grew apace. Today the feast ct Thanksgiving comes around again. But life is not so simple. Not only the Indian, but the Asiatic and the European and all the world have come to look on. For Thanksgiving is a truly American custom. No other people under the sun has anything quite like 1L The New World will always be the Old World simply grown up. We can­ not get away and forget it any more than a man can get away from, and forget, his old home. It is good to be thankful for ones Independence and security. It is also good to face one's tasks patiently, strongly, with justice, and without antagonism. Life on life leans carefully, and the responsibilities of the Old World are America's. The first Thanksgivers were venturers for the common good. The spirit of ven­ ture is not dead In their descendants A few yeas ago they dared the deadly submarine to carry their doctrines of liberty and opportunlt}- to the very mouths of tlie cannon of the German hosts. A little later they dared the deadly typhus and bearded the bolshe­ vik in his Lair to carry our grain to the starving hosts of starving Europe. And now again we are asked to re­ member as a Thanksgiving offering the hungry children and freezing refugees. Corn—91c. Oats—43c Rye—95c. Barley—70c. June Clover—418.00. Beans, white—$835.

Now there is a daily passenger and mall plane service from New York to Mon­ treal that may serve as an example of the economy of tills form of transpor­ tation. The trip takes from 7 o'clock in the morning until fifteen minutes after eleven, or a little more than four hours. It would cost a hundred thousand dollars a mile, exclusive of terminals, to build a new railroad line from New York to Montreal. A new modern highway would cost from thirty to fifty thousand dollars a mile. The outlay for the "roadbed" o' the Air Line is not one cent! The only cost is an insignificant one. that of the Air Beacons for night flying. This lack of "overhead" makes air transpor­ tation the cheapest in the world. Pending developments will eliminate the lack of landing places that has been one of the great drawbacks to a more general use of planes In transpor­ tation. MAN'S FIVE SERVANTS.

MM Hotel Rowe On Wednesday afternoon of last week "Dad" Angell introduced Mr. Johns, who has been doing Y work in the U. P„ and who gave us a very splendid talk. First he told us a story of four archers, who were competing for honors in a contest. The first was content to receive for his effort, in­ stant acclaim. The second was content to do the deed for popularity. The third, who so craved popularity that he shot a beautiful, harmless white dove, the symbol of petice and brotherly love, and the fourth, who had said. "I shoot for Gods", who was not content to do the little things which would win him instant acclaim or popularity for the tame being, he wanted to do something bigger, even though he would fail to win the prize. Then Mr. Johns likened these four archers to the different types of boys and girls. The first type, who are con­ tent to go along taking the praise giv­ en them, yot although they are capa­ ble of doing better things yet never do them because tliey love too well the flattery for their present deeds. The second type who do things such as to get on the football team, try for de­ bates, try to act what they do not feel, all because they hope for popularity. Then the third type who so crave and thirst for popularity that they stamp out all that is clean and pure and beautiful in their lives, only to regret it afterwards when after a little enjoy­ ment. popularity passes them by. Then the third type are tho^e who set their goal high, so high that they may never achieve it. yet. because it has been set high, they achieve much more and things of greater value than the other types. This one instead of thinking of his own selfish interests and what he will get out of his deeds, as the others do. does the thing because it is right and because he loves truth and honor. —Helen Brumm.

He waved her over to one side. -Keep well away from me!” he or­ dered. “They don’t want you." They hung their spurs into their mounts and the horses plunged down the steeply-pitching bottoms, vaulting sage cl nin pa and bounding along the cow trails that threaded the brush. Two hundred yards below the cow the draw made an elbow bend. The girl rounded It and as Harris fol­ lowed a jump behind he felt a jarring tug at the cautle of his saddle and the thin, sharp crack of a rifle reached him. The gulch made a reverse bend and as they swept around It Harris swung sidewise in the saddle and looked back. They were entirely sheltered from any point on the divide six hundred yards behind them. He pulled his horse to a swinging trot and they rode down the sloping meadow that led straight to the main valley. “We didn’t get started any too soon," Harris said. "His horse wasn’t more than a hundred feet tieyond the notch when he blew off ana warned us—not time for me to get cached and drop him as he topped the ridge " The girl’s eyes suddenly riveted on a small round bole tn tbe cantie of his saddle where the uall had entered. On the Inside and far to the left ex tremity of the entitle a ragged gash showed where It bad piisxed out The ball had not missed his left hip to ex­ ceed an inch. She started her horse so suddenly that beforte be realized her parpose she was well In the lead and going at a dead run toward the mouth of the gulch where It opened out Into the main bottoms two hundred yards beyond. From the opposite sloj>e riders were hazing cows out of their respective draws. The running horse caught ev­ ery man’s eyes as the gid careened out Into the center of toe valley, rose In her stirrups and waved an arm in a circle above her head.’ In Are second* riders were whirling in behind her from all directions as site headed for the wagon. She waved those already on tbe spot toward the rope corral. “Change horses!” she called, and as each man rode in be caught up a fresh horse. “Scatter out: some of you below ability was limited and it was his pride to have a string of mounts that Included the worst horses in tbe lol. He rode from tbe corral on Blue, hold­ ing the big roan steady, and headed up the ridge a mite below where Har­ ris and tbe girl had come down. Rile Foster chooe the next; five riders were but a few jumps behind. Harris did not change horzes but searched hastily In bls war bag and slipped the strap of a binocular case across his shoulders and rode off with toe girl as she finished cinching her sad­ dle on a fresh horse. In loos than five minutes from the time she had reached the wagon toe last Three Bar man had mounted and gone. Harris rode pith her up a long ridge that led up to the divide; they followed another into the next bot­ toms and ascended the second divide. This was sharp and rocky, its erect a maze of ragged pinnacles. He ehose the highest of these and dismounted to sweep the range with bls glasses. The high point afforded a view of every ridge for miles. After perhaps half an hour Harris caught five horse­ men in the field of his glasses. They were riding In a knot • "They’ve picked up his trail," he said. "But he’ll have too long a lead. We might as well be going." They mounted and beaded to toe right along the divide. “If Rile Is Id sight we can w'alt for him," he said. “And see If he's picked up any tracks." A half-mile along tbe ridge they siw Foster off through the breaks and he was working back their way. "Thanks, Billie,” Harris said. “For losing a circle trying to run him down." —•­ have done as much for any Three Bar man." she returned. "Of course," he said. "I'd have ex­ pected that But all tbe same it shows that I'm progressing. Maybe my good qualities will grow on you until you get to thinking right well of They waited till Foster joined them on the ridge. “Bangs crossed over a mile below. Rile said. "We might pick him up." “Any sign?" Harris asked as they moved down the divide. “A bunch of shod horses went down through there a few days back." Rile said. “Three or four men likely, with a few pack horses along. He’s pulled out" “I saw him." Harris said. “He’s gone.” They stopped In the saddle of the ridge where a fresh track allowed the spot Bangs had crossed. The girl was looking at Harris and saw a sudden pallor travel up under his tan and ns she turned to see what had occasioned it he crowded his horse against her own. "Don’t look!“ he ordered, and forced her horse over the far side of the ridge. “You’d better ride on back to the wngon," he urged. “There’s been some sort of doings over across. Rile and I will ride down and look into It" Without a word she turned her horse toward the wagon. “It’s God’s mercy she didn't see." Harris said, as the two crossed back over the ridge. “Isn’t that a h—1 of a way for a man to die?" But the girl had seen. Her one brief look had revealed a horse com­ ing round a bend In a little box can­ yon below. A shapeless thing dragged froin one stirrup and at every third or fourth jump the big blue horse side-slashed the limp bundle with his heels. As the two men reached the bottoms the^frenzied horse had stopped and was. fighting to free himself of the thing that followed him. He moved away from it in a circle but it was always with him.

As he rolled over Foster’s noose snared both hind feet and he was held stretched and help­ less between two trained cow horses while the men disengaged the bundle that had once been Bangs. One boot heel was missing and his foot was jammed through the stirrup, evidence that the horse had pitched with him and the loosened heel had come off, allowing bls foot to slip through as Harris pointed to a burnt red streak across the right side of Bangs’ neck. He unbuttoned his shirt and revealed a similar streak under his left armpit Old Rile , cursed horribly and his face seemed to have aged ten years. “They learned that from the albi­ no." he said. “It’s an old trick that always worka.

Rile Foster had disappeared but on the fifth day he turned up at the Three Bar wagon and resumed his work without toe least explanation of bis absence.

He Jerked his bead to draw her aside out of rouge of Waddles’ ears. “How’s the Three Bar showing up this spring?" he asked abruptly. "Better than ever.” she retorted and he <viught a note of deflsnee In her voice. "You’re lying. BHIJe." he asserted ealmly. “The Three Bar will show another shrinkage this year." "How do you know?*- she flashed; and the distrust of him that Harris had roused in her. lately submerged beneath the troubling thought* of .n thia country that would touch a Three Bar cow if you was hooked up with me.” "And then the Three Bar would be only one -out of n dozen or more Slade brands," she said. For nt. reason nt all she was and denly convinced of the truth of Har­ ris* suspicions concerning Slade. She noted that his eyes traveled from one man to the next till he had scru tln’r.od every one that worked tbe herd. •Are you looking for Morrow?" site demanded, and instantly regretted her remark. Slade's face did not change by so much as tbe bat of an eye and he failed to reply for a space—too long a space, site reflected—then turned to her. “Morrow—who’s he?" he asked. “And why should I look for him?" “He rode for you last year," she said. ’•< »h! That fellow. I recall him now. Bleak-looking citizen," be said. "And what about him?" “You tell me," she countered. "That new foreman of yours—the fellow that was scouting round alone for a few months— has been talking with his moutli," Slade said. “If he keeps that up 111 have to ask him to apeak right out what's on bls mind." ■ "Hell tell you," she prophesied. “What then?" "Then I'll kill him," the man stated. The girl motioned to Lanky Evans and he rode across to-toem. “Lanky, 1 want you to remember this,” she said. "Slade has Just prom­ ised to kill Harris. And If be does I’ll s|»end every dollar I own seeing that he's hung for It." she turned to Stade. “You might repeat what you just told me,” sbe suggested. Slade looked at her steadily. “You misunderstood me,’ he stated. "I don’t recall any remark to that ef­ fect or even to mentioning tbe name of Harris. Who is he, anyhow?" and twisted a smoke. cheerfully nt Slade. “That's his'very words—end I'd swear to it us long as my breath held out. I’ll sort of repent It over to myself so that 1 can give It to the Judge word for word when the time comes.” Slade favored him with a long stare which Lanky bore with unconcern, smiling back ut him pleasantly. “I’ve got my little piece mem­ orised,” Evans said; “and in parting let me remark that Cal Harris will prove a new sort of a victim for you to work on. if you tie into him he'll tear down your meat-house." . He turned his horse and rode back to tbe herd. "I ll play your own game,” tbe girl told Slade. "If anything happens to another man who Is riding for me ud 1 have any reason tn even suspect you that 1 saw you do the thing yourself The Three Bar Is the only outfit with a clean enough record to drag any thing up for an airing before the courts without taking a chance. This rule of every man for himself won't bold good with me.” She moved toward the wagon and Slade kept pace with her. leading his "You’re a real woman, Billie." be said. “You better throw tn with a real man—me—and we'll own tills country.

Of this amount *1100 came to Nashville and *900 went to other nearby high schools. Since the tax rate this year readies a total of *16.49 per *1000 valuation, it Is quite evident the rate in No. 1 Fr. district would be slightly less than at present.

Not only are there gifts for the kiddies, which we hope to see in San­ ta's pack on the night before Chrristmas. but grownups as well should be able to share in the contents of his sleigh. Toys for the youngsters are plentiful. In addition, there are the useful gifts which always add to the joys of the kiddies when they know Santa Claus has remembered that they needed something to wear. Our stores are crowded with both classes of gifts. Then there ore mother, dad. sis­ ter and brother, uncles and aunts, cou­ sins. and friends to be remembered, and what a lot of "remembering" we have to do!

Barry county fair officials face a deficit which promises to be approxi­ mately $700 in the operation of the 1928 fair, according to a statement of the Hastings Banner.In spite of the fact that excellent weather was en­ joyed during the fair and the crowds were good, the financial returns do not seem to be what was expected and needed to make tlie fair a success from that standpoint. That the fair board is considering suspension of the annual fair is hinted by the Banner, even though the board has money in the treasury. Since the advent of Secretary Dawson the board has paid off debts, made im­ provements. repairs, etc., but it seems that these have not served to make the fair self supporting and the suggestion is made that the board of county com­ missioners appropriate $1000 annualy as was done for a period of years and discontinued several years ago. H. S. DEFEATS ALUMNI IN ONE-SIDED CONTEST The Alumni failing to round up the customary bunch of experienced players suffered a 56 to 6 defeat at the hand of the high school Thanksgiving morning. The high school opened the game with their regular line up and before the game had progressed far Nelson made a long run for a touch down. Nelson scored 5 touch­ downs. Wiliams 2 and Furlong and Tieche one each. Nelson made several brilliant runs, the alumni finding it difficult to stop him. The alumni scored in the second quarter when Johnson caugWt a pass and ran over the goal line. The alum­ ni was at a loss against the high school team and their backs were thrown time after time for large losses. The high school received many penalltes for unnecessary roughness. The alum­ ni are undoubtedly looking forward to the next chance to avenge this de­ feat. MASONIC NOTES. Special communication of Nashville Lodge, No. 255. F. <fc A. M.. next Mon­ day evening.

More than $6,000 will be available for Christmas shoppers this year as a re­ sult of the Christmas Savings clubs op­ erated by the two Nashville banks dur­ ing the past year. Checks for this amount were mailed to depositors by the Farmers A: Merchants and State Savings Banks during the post week. Popularity of the Christmas Savings method is on the increase, according to officials of Doth institutions, whom state that the number of depositors in­ creases with each year, as well as the size of the amount deposited during the year. The campaign for new de­ positors during the next year is in full progress and indications are next year's savings will be increased over this year by a substantial amount. The Christmas Club savings plan is a unique one. and although it has been in operation for several years it is quite likely a large number of people are unacquainted with its plan of opera­ tion. By entering upon the plan one may save, systematically, any desired amount by the weekly payment meth­ od. this amount to be repaid at the end of the year with a check from the bank for the entire amount plus inter­ est at four per cent. Thus twenty-five cents a week amounts to $12.50 at the end of the year, plus Interest, or $1 per week would amount to $50 at the end of fifty weeks, plus Interest. In many cases larger amounts were car­ ried weekly, with correspondingly larg­ er amounts paid at the end of the fifty-weck paying period. Because any amount desired may be carried, any or all members of a fami­ ly may easily participate In this sav­ ings plan with the assurance that Christmas money will be on hand when needed for shopping purposes. Ac­ cording to bank officials, many people save for purposes other than Christ­ mas shopping, using the funds thus saved for payment of taxes, inasmuch as the checks are received just as De­ cember taxes are due. and accumula­ tion of the fund has been so gradual that It has been hardly noticeable Or folks start a savings account with the nest-egg thus accumulated, while oth­ ers devote the funds to other savings purposes. However, most of the money saved through the savings plan is un­ doubtedly diverted to local business channels in the purchase of Christmas gifts, the original purpose of th® Christ­ mas Savings. Expenditure of several thousand dollars among local stores benefits business generally, adds en­ thusiasm to Christmas buying, furnish­ es purchasers with a more ready meth­ od' of remembering friends with glftgivlng. and this solves one of the ever­ present stumbling blocks at this par­ ticular time of the year—when folks know what to give but lack the funds to finance their purchases. « Because of the many benefits of the Christmas Savings plan, it Is strongly urged that mere people enjoy the sat­ isfaction which comes with participa­ tion in it and take out a membership In next year’s clubs. They may be op­ ened any time this month. RED GROSS DRIVE ENDED THDRSDAY OF LAST WEEK Forty-six members with a total of $50 contributed was the net result of the Red Cross drive for memberships during the past few weeks ending on Thanksgiving day. Inasmuch as the local chairman was not appointed un­ til the drive was under way in other localities the time for receiving mem­ berships was shortened, so that it is possible many people failed to get in on this worthy cause. Mrs. S. E. Pow­ ers acted as chairman of the local membership drive. K. OF P. FAMILY NIGHT. Ivy lodge. No. 37, Knights of Pythias, is planning another enjoyable social evening for Tuesday evening.

NUMBER 20 UNIVERSITY WAITS 14128080 N'SHVILLE SCHOOL DIRECTOR OF INSPECTION URGES NEW AND COMMODIOUS BUILD­ ING BE FURNISHED STUDENTS. CLEVER SWINDLER GETS MONEY ON HASTINGS CREDULITY PROSPECTIVE REAL ESTATE PUR­ CHASER TURNS OUT TO BE GENTLEMAN CROOK. A young man. said by the Hastings Banner last week, to have been capable of passing for a deacon in any church, pulled the wool over the eyes of that city's financial district long enough to cash in on a worthless check and make his getaway. According to the county seat paper, the man, who gave his name as J. D. House. called at the home of a Hastings realestate man and expressed a desire to look at residence or farm property with an idea of purchasing. The real estate man obliged, probably with visions of the first real commis­ sion he had cashed in on this year. Several residence properties were look­ ed at and finally the young prospective buyer settled on a farm north of the county seat. He and his real estate salesman returned to the bank where a check for $1000 on a Kentucky bonk was deposited as first payment on the farm. Another check was deposited to a personal account in the bank and then—being in need of ready cash— he proceeded to cash a check ofr $25 against his personal account. Perfectably legitimate manner of pro­ ceeding to get some cash—only, after a day or two the bank discovered the original checks were no good, and of course, the check for $25 wasn't worth a lot more—and the $25 in cash had left with the customer to realms un­ known. । Bank officials were then advised by the state banking association that the man had pulled the same stunt at Williamston the week previous. Now comes the puzzle: Find the swindler. Urging the erection of a more com­ modious and modern school plant in Nashville in order that the local school may be continued on the University of Michigan accredited list, J. B. Ed­ mondson. director of the university's division of Inspection, under dote of November 27, states his department will delay classification until a later date in order to give Nashville time to con­ sider again the proposed building pro­ gram. Dr Edmondson's letter to Supt. J. L. Prescott says, in part: * “My dear Mr. Prescott: Professor Gingerich has reported to me on the inspection of your school. He states that your school is still housed in the old building, and that ef­ forts to secure a modem building have in the past been unsuccessful. He fur­ ther informs me that he does not know when the University Committee on Ac­ credited Schools may expect your com­ munity to provide the type of building that is needed to take care of the ed­ ucational needs of the boys and girls of your community. I assume that it is unnecessary to remind you and your board of education of our previous rec­ ommendations. "Professor Gingerich advises me that there might be some advantage in our delaying the completion of the report on the inspection of your school until you and your board of education have had an opportunity to test out the sen­ timent of the community relative to a new building. We are, therefore, plan­ ning to delay submitting a report to the University Committee on Accredited Schools until such time as further in­ formation is furnished concerning the possibility of the erection of. a modem building. "We want to renew previous recom­ mendations of the University Commit­ tee on Accredited Schools that a more commodious and modem school plant be provided in Nashville at a very ear­ ly date." HEALTH SEALS APPEAR ON LETTERS, PACKAGES Postmaster Robert E. Surine gives hearty endorsement to tuberculosis seals and the health work they stand for, but warns patrons of the malls to take care where they place the stickers. "Put them on the backs, not the fronts of letters", he says. The use of any other kind of label than a govern­ ment postage stamp on the address side of envelopes confuses employees and delays the malls." Although sale of the Christmas seals was not begun by the Michigan Tu­ berculosis Association until Friday of last week.

Most of the holi­ day shopping has scarcely begun. Preparations should begin at once, however, in order to get the out-of­ town packages on their way in early season before Christmas. Every year the postal department urges the mailing public to have their Christmas packages sent early. At best postal employes go through a busy season every Yuletlde. Business Is increased 200 percent at this time. There will be no delivery or. Christ­ mas day. Postoffices will make every effort to handle the Christmas mails without congestion and delay before the day arrives, bat owing to the enormous volume this can be done only with the cooperation of the pub­ lic. Compliance with suggestions of­ fered by them will aid the postoffice and insure the prompt handling of mail. All parcels should be securely wrapped or packed. Strong paper and heavy twine, with care in wrapping is requested. Articles easily broken or crushed should be given utmost care in wrapping. Special material for packing breakable objects should be used. Ordinary boxes o' cigars will not be accepted wrapped in paper only. They must be packed in a manner to prevent damage by shock or jar. Cor­ rugated pasteboard or siAiilar material Is suitable. For perishable material special de­ livery stamps should be used to expe­ dite delivery after the package has been securely wrapped and proper markings made. Addresses should be complete with house number, name of strfret, post­ office box or rural route number typed or plainly written in ink. Return card should be placed in the upper left corner of every piece of mail. If a tag is used the address and return card should also be written on the wrapper for use if the tag is lost. A copy of the address should be inclosed inside the parcel. No parcel may be more than 84 inch­ es in length and girth combined. For delivery local and in th6 first, sec­ ond and third zones, 70 pounds is the maximum weight. In all other zones is 50 pounds. Christmas Cards.

They’re folks who have learned or heard of what a surprising large sum of Gift Money can be accumu­ lated in a year through insignificant weekly deposits in our Christmas Savings Club! There Is a< continuous obligation owed by every Individual to the com­ munity and especially by those favor­ ed by fortune. Enlightened self-inter­ est should quicken acceptance of the obligation. There, is hardly room for argument that what is good for the commurdty is, broadly considered, good for the individual in his wort. Con­ versely. what is good for the idividual Ln the best sense is good for every other- man, woman and child in the community. Too much must not be expected from politicians and parties, too often approached from both sides on the basis of a hone trade. Governmental agents must be supplemented by the efforts of private persons who can en­ vision things as they ought to be, and at long range. Politicians and office­ holders, regardless of what they may say in their campaigns, are mostly con­ cerned with getting into office and staying in. That is why they are in politics. They are in politics th get into office or to have a hand in putting others in office, as other men and wo­ men are in business or professions to make money or a career, ar both. , But the politician and office holder is usually wise enough to know that that which is beneficial to the com­ munity or state or nation will best re­ act to. his benefit His motives for serving the public may be selfish but the service is no poorer for that No man can long remain in public office or in political control who con­ sistently disregards the will and wel­ fare of the voters. Public service is the foundation upon which he must build | his political power. Failure to give satisfactory service has wrecked more political careers than anything else. Convince the majority of the voters that those in office are not giving a fair return. Ln service, on the dollar. Ln taxes, and it will take more than a slush fund and political machine to keep them in office.

An automobile qf itself is as dead as a door nail,, but fill it with gasoline and lubricating oil, put a driver on the seat and you have a vehicle in which you may travel fast and far.

SELF SERVICE Many good folk are lamenting the passing of the era when men and wo­ men consecrated their lives to unselfish service and prepared themselves to be­ come ministers, missionaries, teachers or country doctors that they might administer to the spiritual. mental and physical needs of humanity without thought of large worldly gain. They are not in error when they charge that modem men and women are choosing vocations today in which they can do the greatest service to themselves. People today are coming to the be­ lief that th best way they can hep oth­ ers is to raxxluce much that their pro­ fit shall be large and that they shall never become dependent upon society. The old idea of service was direct. The new service Is Indirect. Twenty years ago it was still thought that only min­ isters, doctors and teachers served hu­ manity.

We are not blaming the coach or players for this, for it should not be the coach's Job to look after equipment, and if closer account were kept of it the players would be more careful not to lose any equipment. What we need is a student manager for each team, such as many other schools and colleges have, to save the coach the worry and bother of looking after these small but necessary details. Such a manger would keep account of all equipment worn out, arrange tor transportation of players and any other of a number of details that might come up.

POOR CHILDREN TO BE GUESTS OF MEN-O-WAR. It Is estimated by the Navy Recruit­ ing Station at Detroit that some 12,­ 000 poor children will be the guests of naval ships and stations at Christmas this year, in keeping with a custom of many years standing. A Christmas dinner, tree and presents are provided, with one of the crew acting as Santa Claus. The custom started when a bluejacket was accosted on Christmas day by a shivering urchin, with a plea for food. The youngster was taken to a man-o-war, where he was fed and sufficient money raised to provide him with a complete outfit of clothing. Since then the Navy has annually play­ ed host to an ever increasing crowd of children who otherwise would have no Christmas dinner.

The “party spirit** which I am writ­ ing about, is not the one we have been hearing so much about in connection with the presidential campaign. This party is a company of persons gathered together for entertainment; the “spirit" referred to is the spirit of sportsmanship. The way to make a party a success is for everyone to enter into all the 1 games.

TO THOSE WHO HAVE MADE THIS YEAR’S WORK POSSIRLE II7E long ago recognized the patron as the es" sential to success in business. Likewise have we realized that indifferent patrons who do business on a “cold-blooded” basis will not build a business like cordial, friendly, enthusiastic friends will build. Our good fortune has been to have the last named class of patrons. Therefore it is but natural that during this happy season our minds instinctively turn to those who have made our past year’s work possible. In all earnestness we send you greetings with kind thoughts and good wishes for Christmas and the year ahead. W. J. LIEBHAUSER LUMBER AND COAL PHONE 75 CHRISTMAS GREETINGS AND REST WISHES FOR 1929 HERE had been few changes In the house. The house was very old, but it was beautiful with the mellow dignity of age. It had seen so much, it had heard so much that it felt not only old but wise and understanding. Perhaps 11 waa not even age that it felt With so much youth and romance and gnyety coming Into the bouse from time to time it felt young and roman­ tic and gay Itself. But this year it waa worried. The house believed in tradition, in mem­ ory, Ln sentiment, in anniversary. Par­ ticularly the house believed in Christ­ mas. Every Christmas it had been deco­ rated. Green wreaths hud been hung in every window. Great branches of pine had hung over the ancestral por­ traits which were heavy enough to bear them. Smaller pictures were given smaller sprays of green. Red candles were lighted In the candle­ sticks on the manelplece every Christ­ mas eve. Every Christmas eve there bad always been some members of the family who had moved away «nd had come back. The house listened silent­ ly, expectantly for the whistle of the train on Christmas eve. Then for the noise of sleigh bells and the crackle of the sleigh stopping In front of the house to let out Its family members who had journeyed back home for Christmas, Of recent years It had been an au­ tomobile that had bonked and stopped before the house. The house liked a sleigh better. But still It kept up with the times. It liked having an automo­ bile In front of its door during the summer—and it liked the arrival of the automobile at Christmas time. It was not this modern invention that had bothered the bouse this year. It was something else. For years and years and years there bad been a little piece of mistle­ toe hung under the old lamp in the front halL It was a funny old lamp. It had pictures on Its four glass sides and It was really the lamp bolder, for every evening just at dusk one of the members of the family would come out and pull the lamp holder down on Its workable chain and tip the lighted lump just enough and most carefully so it would fit Inside. Then back up the lamp was pulled again. From this had always hung the mistletoe. Mistletoe was sometimes hard to get, but a little piece had always been obtained. One year there had been only two white benles on the mistle­ toe. but this year In spite of a great predominance of green there were five white berries. So it was not this that worried the hou.se. It was because there was no, longer a lamp. The lamp holder was there, hanging In the front hall, but it had been fastened up so that It stayed up all the time now. It didn’t have to be pulled down There was an electric globe in It ana it waa turned on by a button on the side of the wall. It was this electric tight that both­ ered the house. Somehow It seemed Forks Up—Knives Up! LOOK WHAT’S COMIN’!

Every year those who had decora tad It felt they had never done so fine a Job. The presents were opened In front of the Are. Then the candles were put out—for they must be lighted again on Christmas night They must not all burn out In one evening. That was the custom. There was a alight lull after the ex­ citement of the opening of the pres­ ents. And then came a ring at th* old door bell. Sometimes the old door bell stayed out when It was pulled out, but on the whole it was a very good door bell In spite of its great age. Besides, didn't the members of the family always look after the door bell? Didn't they always push It in if they found it out when they wers coming home, and didn't they an­ nounce as they got Inside—"That was only my pushing the bell In. I found it out-" Oh. most of the time the door bell worked beautifully. This time It fair­ ly burst Itself with the laughing ring that it gave. “A caller," said the house to Itself. "A caller," said the family to one another. -It’s pretty late. Who can It be? But let us see. Our lights are all lighted. Whoever it was couldn't help but see that we are up. and peo­ ple know bow late we sit up Christ­ mas eve." The door was opened. One of the youngest members of the family opened the door. Not one of the chll- We give ourselves over completely as we gre caught up in the fine, rare spirit of the holiday season—the time when happiness and good cheer fills the very atmosphere.

It was such a change. And ro­ mance, the hotjse felt, was not some­ thing to be changed in a twinkling, in the turning of the button. However, the mistletoe hung there, hung there as best it could with its red ribbon attachment, its large aipount of pale-green leaves, its fine white berries. The train was a minute ahead of time. Trains were no* apt to be ahead of time. But this time It was, for the clock bad said 7:14 and the train was not due to arrive until 7:15. And the dock could not make a mistake. Not now after It had just been up the street so wecently to visit the very best and oldest clock mender In town. Down came the automobile. In came ti»e p*oplp. Oayety, laughter, merri men! rang out through the old house, echoed up and back from the great high celling, resounded through the many rooms. -How wonderfully the house is dec­ orated. It never looked lovelier than dren—they were in bed. But one of the youngest members Just the same. It was Joan who had opened the door. Joan with her bright color and blond hair and blue eyea and jolly, skipping little laugh. You thought of water skipping over pebbles tn • brook when you heard Joan laugh. “Ok* Joan said. "Oh,” ste* said again. / The family Inside were wondering why Joan didn't bring the caller in­ side. Or was it just a message per­ haps. Or was It a late package? Or was It a mistake? Or what? “Oh,” Joan said, still bolding open the door. "Oh." said Joan again. -Joan, Merry Christmas. Do let's make up. I can’t see a future with­ out you. I love yot» so much." Oh, how Joan's heart sang a quiet, happy little song all to itself. It was wonderful to think he would never be happy without her. The thought of his unhappiness without POULTRY thing* when i»oth of them know they didn’t mean IL “Joan!" He caught right of the mistletoe. And the house fairly creaked aloud with «xdtement The electric globe in the old lamp holder made no difference. Nothing made any difference. Here waa youth and ro­ mance and gayety. Her* waa the mis­ tletoe Inspiring what every true ml*tietoe should Inspire. "Joan," called the family from with­ in. "Who la there?” ’Barry,” she answered. "He's tak­ ing off his coat." Barry took off his *o*t than and went Inside. They were clasping hand* The mistletoe looked quite elated. “I did a good job," th* mistletoe said—“patched up a quarrel and re­ newed a romance." "Good work," said the bouse. "I approve of you." “Merry Christmas." the mistletoe ended. Reason for December 25 Being Christmas Date It Is not definitely known whe* Christmas was first celebrated. The Institution of the festival Is attributed to Telesphorus, who flourished in th* reign of Antoninus Fins (131-161 A. D.). This, however, is not historical. It has often been objected that De­ cember 25 cannot be the true date of the birth of Christ, for It is then the rainy season In Palestine and shepherds would scarcely have been watching their sheep by night In the fields. The reason for the final choice of December 25 cannot now be de­ termined. A widespread feast of the Great Mother may have Influenced the decision, also the desire to place a Christian fe^st Ln opposition to the Boman feast of “Sol invectus” at,the winter solstice, the Germans held their great Yule feast In commemoration of the return of the fiery sun, and many of the beliefs and usages of the old Germans and Romans relating to this matter passed from heathenism to Christianity and have survived to the present day. As Christianity stice, the time when the day begin* to In cress*. and light to triumph over darkness, was changed into the Feast of Christ, the Light of Life.

"He’ll put a bunch of taeriers on the Three Bar that will cut Slade’s claws, if they burn out the boys Cal Harris puts on the place then there'll be one real war staged at the old Three Bar." "He’s been telling you," she accused. "He did sort of mention it" Wad­ dles confessed. "Then his idea Is to Import a bunch of gun-fighters.” she said. “I won’t have a bunch of hired killers living at the Three Bnr."

The Case of the Day-Coach Passenger versus the Elimination of the Pullman Surcharge BOLITION ot the Pullman Surcharge is once more being urged u for passage by the Congress of the United States. DOPTION of the Robinson (Senate) Bill involves direct losses to . the railroads in revenues aggregating $40,000,000 per annum and this Ion of necessity will have to be made up in some manner. There are three - *expedients only: / (1) Increased passenger rates/or all passengers whether in the day coach or in the PnUman or Parlor Cars. ; (2) Restricting passenger service on certain lines, •’*(3) Charging this expense so the shippen of freight, NT one of these three expedient* is undesirable, unfair from tha k community standpoint, and not in the best interests of society as a whole. A A A k FTER all the Pullman service—for passengers traveling in sleeping a. or parlor cars,—is a high dass hotel service on wheels, that a great part of die traveling public does not demand nor expect. A hwwirr capital investment in cars per capita. Two and one half times the space that is allotted to the passenger in the day coach. An average of twelve thousand two hundred and sixty pounds of car as against 8,800 pounds per passenger riding fat day coaches. I Parking of Pullman can before train departure from and after arrival at the terminals involving considerable extra work and heavier terminal costs and requiring the holding, for that purpose only, of the railroads’ highest-priced lands in the larger cities. . I Pullman cars being often moved one way empty—as for instance, in the California <md Florida serrgee, which means a double road haul for one fare and in many cases to take care of these movements, cars have to be hauled extra distances. Railroads having co guarantee earnings on every line of Pullman cars operated and coturaming for their use over a period of years. LL of these obligation* are extra expenses upon the railroads which are not involved in the handling of dav coach passengers. r IS a principle ot good business and good government to make the user of a service pay for that special service. That is followed in the higher charae for air mail as against the ordinarv service. A r , �THURSDAY. DECEMBER 11, 1M1 NEWS. NASHVILLE. MICHBuy the family an electric radio for Cliristmas.

SCHOOL NOTES NUMBER 21 BARRY COUNTY Y. M. C. A. ITEMS RABBITS MAY HAVE DISEASE OTHER THAN TULAREMIA White spots found on the liver of a rabbit does not ncconcarily mean that the animal is a victim of tularemia. Thia statement lias been made by ex­ perts in the state departments who have been investigating the disease for several months.; It Is possible for other diseases to produce white spots on a rabbit's liver. Coccldlosls or tuber­ culosis may produce such markings and it is possible to classify them with­ out expert examination. While no positive cases of tularemia had been uncovered to date, it is the general belief that the disease prob­ ably does exist in some of the Michigan rabbits. One or two specimens that have been placed under scrutiny de­ veloped suspicious reactions but no one has come forward to say that the in­ fection was definitely established as the dreaded tularemia. Two Hungarian partridge and a ruff­ ed grouse that were believed to have l>een victims of tularemia were found to be suffering from other disorder:', so that the rumor that tularemia might spread to other branches cf wild an­ imal and bird life has not been founded on fact as yet Game experts are urging, however, that sportsmen use caution tn cleaning and handling rabbits or other game that show symptoms of disease. In other states tularemia has been com­ municated to humans through careless handling The disease Is said to have spread among humans in Ohio, one city reporting nearly 00 cases. The Y's Men club met last week at the Grand Rapids Book Case offices, and surely enjoyed the privilege. Ken­ neth Larson and his committee fur­ nished some good entertainment, and Rev. L. L.

That brought her back again to the little town and the many changes that had taken place even in the short time they had been gone. Other homes besides theirs would miss the older generation this Christmas. Peggy be­ gan enumerating them In her mind. There was Judge Ilatford who had done so much for them when the first break had come and her own father had passed away, and even Inst sum­ mer when her mother, too, had gone, it was Judge Hatford who had taken the sting from the legal aspects. Yet, it was but a few weeks lattr when he also had been laid to rest In the little cemetery on the hill: then there was genial, courtly Mr. Morrow, and Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, separated from each ot^er but a brief month, and Mr. and Mrs. Dawson—Peggy stopped in ber summary. Why hadn't she thought of the Dawsons before? There was Fred Dawson, and Katharine, and their lit­ tle boy Dick, and Katharine's younger sister, Mary; they, too, must be look­ ing forward to Christmas with sor­ rowful memories; for always they had come from the far-off city to the home Comer Barber Shop HEALTH ■FRIENDS FALL of snow on Christ­ mas day Is regarded as the sign of a lucky New Tear.

LASS, Proprietor PHONE 181 Christmas Brings Mach for Both Old and Young CHRISTMAS te a time of joy for the old as well as for the young. If It Is given only to youth to enjoy many of the pleasures that Christmas brings, age finds Its compensation In the wealth of the memories that the day awakes. At no fther time does such hallowed and lovely remem­ brances of days that are past stir the heart. Again, we live In the land of childhood; we revel In Its happy, care­ free hours; we stand before candle­ lit Christmas trees that thrilled us In the long sgo. With swift steps we travel across the bridge of time and space and clasp bands with those of other years. Again we live happy hours of comradeship and under­ standing that were ours. Through the year we may have for­ gotten how rich we were; we may have failed to recall the many lovely joys that have come to us through the years. But at Christmas It is dif­ ferent Absent friends and joys, as well as those that are near, bring us Joy and cheer. Even those who have passed into the land beyond seem to be with us today; the power of love and memory seems to have pierced the veil that hid them from our view. Dear and half-forgotten memories of hours we spent with them bring them very close. Yes, Christmas holds much for the old.

I lop where Clare stood she watched the sun sink Va slowly Into his bed of snow. Her vantage point was the only ele­ vation* for iuany miles in all that prairie country. It commanded a view as far as eye could reach, broken only by the groves of box-elders and Russian poplars, now leafless and shrunken, which the settlers had planted about their steadings. Clare loved to climb it for the exhilaration, the vastness, the sense of infinity which It gave her. At least, that was the explanation she offered when explanations were necessary. Her custom of walking to the top of the hill every evening be­ fore sunset could not escape observa­ tion and comment In a community where the doings of neighbors consti­ tuted tne chief topic of conversation “Saw that Carson girl on ‘the knob' again tonight.** Bert McValn remarked at tbe supper table after his return from the market town where be had been delivering a load of wheat. “She’s getting crazier every day.” “Too bud." Bert’s mother comment­ ed, with u sigh. "She used to be sg bright. It must be a great trial to Mrs. Carson.*’ And so the talk run through the neighborhood. Clare Carson was "a little off." Echoes of that gossip did no: tail to reach the Carson home­ stead. where Clare had been taken strictly to account for ber wanderings. “But. Mother." the girl protested, “so long us 1 don't neglect my work— and I don't—why shouldn't I walk up •the knob’ If I want to? The exer­ cise and fresh air are good for me after all day In the house.*’ “Just the same. It don’t look right." her mother argued. “People are begin­ ning to talk." "Let them." said Clare. And because she was twenty-two. and had a will of her own. the walks continued and tbe gossip grew. “Oh. why can't they let me alone!’ she exclaimed to herself, as she watched the sun dip Into his bed of snow. “Fred. Fred! Do you knowcan you understand—how I am keep­ ing my promise ?” The red light, mingled with that bluish-white reflection which artists find In untrodden snow, touched her cheeks with Its feathery brush, paint­ ing them with the glow of buoyant health. Under the tarn which shel­ tered ber pretty head her eyes shone with a sunset luster even while they plead for an answer from the Infinite. For six months she had kept her tryst; six months to a day. for was not this the twenty-fourth of Decem­ ber? On that June night half a year ago Fred had held her in his arms on this very spot while he told her of the urgency which took him East. The death of his fnther demanded his immediate return. “And, Clare.” he . told her, "I know what their plans are. There is a match all made for me. It aaay be a condition of the will; I don’t know; but condition dr no con­ dition rn be back for you as soon as I can put affairs In order.

She assured him with her tips. “I will have a flghl of it, dear." be went on. “and I will need your help. You don't know what It Is to have all your people set against you. They think It’s for the best, of course; Julia la a nice enough girl, and comes of an old and wealthy family, and they can't understand my objection—’’ “Why don’t you mnrry her?’ Clare Interrupted, eager to bear again his fervent defense. "She Is rich, beauti­ ful; she would make you happy.” “That’s just It—she wouldn't. Why should I marry a rich girl, when I have already enough for two? And as for beauty—do one who has seen you would call ber beautiful!" He held her again in that still June night as though he never would let ber go. "I will need your help.” he repeated at length. “You will help, won't you?" "But how?" The question silenced hl to for a uwe went Then. “I’ll tell you. Clare.

On this Christmas eve. from her pinnacle of sub>lme loneliness, she watched the last red rays pour out over the bluish-white snow, touching, to color tattered remnants of cloud afloat In the western sky. She Pon­ dered If it could be possible that ber yearnings were In some way reaching ber lover, strengthening his heart for the fight with tbe wealth and pride of his family. Suddenly her reverie waa interrupt­ ed Vy the sound of sleigh bells on the road at the foot of the hill. A team and cutter were swinging sharply southward through tbe gathering dusk. As she watched, the bones were reined In. tbe cutter stopped, one of the two occupants got out. and a man came running toward her. The next moment she was In bls arms,.breathless^laugh­ ing, almost too excited to speak. “I knew I would find you here," he cried, “If only we made It on time!" “But tell me, Fred, how does It come? Explain,’’ she managed at length. "1 will-at the house,” he answered. “Cornel" She hesitated, and a shadow swept her glowing face. "You know what my people think,” she reminded him. “I know what they thought," be laughed. 'They thought that because The Home of Every Day Low Prices! C. Thomas Store MAIN ATItKAT .

But what about ber?" “At the house." was all he would answer. He seized her arm, and togetber like children they rushed down the hill. “It was like this," he explained, to the assembled Carson family after supper. "My fnther left me a million or so und a request that I should ask Julia France to be my wife. Uncles, aunts, cousins, my mother—everybody Interpreled that request as a com­ mand. 'It was such a suitable match, they said. Julia, it sdemed. shared that opinion. “I delayed my proposal until I could think It over, and one day, just at sunset,’ came a bright Idea. Perhaps It started on Knob HI1L“ He glanced appreciatively at Clare, who blushed, but kept her counsel. "Then I rushed to my broker. “’How long does It take to lose a million dollars on the stock market?' I asked. " ‘Many people do It quicker than they expect.' he confided. “’WeH, lose a million dollars for me as soon as you can. There is no time to spare.’ I told him my reason and. like a good sport, he promised to do bls beat “I bought a comfortable life annuity for my mother, but everytidng else went Into the mill. Cash, bonds, stocks, securities, deeds—they poured Into that broker's office like sheaves Into your separator. Mr. Carson, and all the time they kept clamoring for more. At last I was sold out. They even threatened bankruptcy proceedings. It was quite a scandal. I assure you. Then I pro­ posed to Julia, Just as my father said, and was turned down cold So here 1 am, offering to make you a Christmas present of a brand new son-in-law." Mr. Carson sucked at bls pipe. “Well.” he remarked at length, “any fellow that’s fool enough to lose a million dollars for a girl deserve* what he gets. Take her?" “Gee, won't Bert McValn be mad!" shouted Clare's young brother Bob. “He always wanted Clare himself!” Later, when the Carson family had obligingly retired. Fred held Clare** bead close to his own. "The Joke of it Is.” he whispered. "I didn't lose a mil­ lion dollars. I made a million and a haff. But that's a secret—until after the wedding!"

PLUMP, TENDER AND, OH, SO TASTY! MR.

This is proved in number­ less cases like that of Mr. Charles Rose. 15 Nineteenth street. Battle Creek. He says: 'Tor the past twelve years my stom­ ach gave me so much trouble that it drove be into a nervous breakdown, and were it not for Konjota I do not believe that I would be alive today. I could not sleep at night; everything worried me; I wanted to be alone. I became so weak I could hardly stand. Nothing helped me. and I had lost 38 pounds, then I heard about Konjola and Its wondrous worts. Seven bottles of this marvelour. medicine made a new man of me. My indigestion is completely gone and, best at all, my terrible nervous condition has been totally banished I feel and look Like a different person. I have gained 20 pounds in seven weeks.

"Christmas Magic”, 'written by Don­ na Northrop, will be awarded the $5 prize for being the best Christmas story submitted by students in the con­ test held last week and sponsored by L. H. Cook, lumber and coal dealer of Nashville. This story was adjudged the best among a large number of en­ trants who wrote on various subjects relating to Christmas. Second place was won by Georgia Bassett whose subject was "The Christ­ mas Star", and Miss'Bassett will be awarded $3 for her efforts. Third prize goes to Cliff Williams, whose sub­ ject was "The True Christmas Spirit" and he will be awarded $1.00. Fourth place goes to June Brown, and $1.00 will be awarded for her story “Christ­ mas of The story of Philip Maur­ er. “A Christmas Sacrifice." was deem­ ed worthy of honorable mention by the Judge*. Money which will be awarded the winning contestants, will be presented by Mr. Cook personally, at the school assembly Friday afternoon. In making the awards the judges. C. L. Glasgow, chairman. Mrs. Chester Smith and A. B. McClure, met Tues­ day evening and spent several hours poring over the manuscripts, most of which were of worthy content and pre­ senting a difficult problem for solu­ tion. The pajx?rs were graded on three points, originality, general technique, and plot. While a few of the stories were ruled out because of lack of origi­ nality. and some for absence of satis­ factory plot, still others lacked in pro­ per grammer. phraseology, spelling and general appearance. Taken as a whole they were a splendid group of literary efforts which should be appreciated by the public in general. Final selection of the prize winning papers presented a different, different nrnblem problem and one which took considerable tlihe on the part of the judges, who were Interested only In convincing themselves that the best papers received the best awards. The papers were marked by num­ ber only, and not until Wednesday morning were the names of the prize winners known. Below we print the story winning first prize:. In following issues the News will print the other three prize winning stories. Christmas Magic. Three sad and lonesome little girls sat around the table as Christmas eve drew nearer and nearer. They had tried hard to trim the Christmas Tree, but so many trim­ mings were lacking that it was too hard a task for thgm. They had taken* many boxes of home-made candy and bags of pop­ corn to their sick friends and the shut­ ins. near by. Just as they knew their mother would want them to, were she home. Their mother was in the hospital. The hospital was miles away. Heavy snow storms, that week, had disabled phones. Their father, who had been hurt, wa. in bed upstairs and all in all. there seemed nothing to look forward to, no not even Christmas. Little Midget, the three-yeor-old. was always looking for the "Christmas Spirit", but this, to the older girls was just a voung child's imagination. A dear kind Auntie was with them, to be sure, but she did not like to an­ swer the many questions, the little ones found time to ask her. "Do you think Santa will come with our mother away?" asked Marie. Just then Lulu cried. "Where's Mid­ get?" Sure enough Midget was gone. The children ran upstairs, but did not tell their father Midget was gone. The house was searched, but when no Midget was seen. Marie said, “Well, once It was Ln a barn, the Christmas Spirit, so we'd better look in the barn." Just then in came Lulu with Midget. She was very wet and cold. Midget was put to bed and the last thing she said was: 'Ts just sure the Christmas Spirit is coming tonight." As the two girls came downstairs again there was their mother. Two liappier girls were never known. It had seemed years to them, since their mother had gone away. The Uncle just had to bring her home for Christmas, he said. Yes. she was feeling fine, and if they would all run off to bed. she would finish trimming the Christmas tree, but not to tell Midget she was borne. After the girls were gone and moth­ er had rested, she had Auntie bring the crib and put it near the tree. Midget was awakened early the next morning by v strange and unusual sound. Being an adventurous child she crawled downstairs and right to the tree, expecting of course to see Santa. But instead site screamed and screamed. “The Christmas Spirit did come, it's here. Come and see! Come JIGGS SUPPER TO BE FEATURED BY LOCAL’KNIGHTS CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE WILL BE GENEROUSLY SERVED NASH­ VILLE’S DOWN-TRODDEN MALE POPULATION.

Starting four years ago, the Father Jiggs supper has become one of the most popular annual supper affairs to be held about the town, and this year it will be open to every man and boy in this vicinity who cares to attend. As the title might suggest, there will be no ladles present when the gas-house gang gathers before the tables for a generous helping of the homely but edible morsels. Not a woman will be permitted in the kitchen, so fearful are the men of rolling pins and dishes. The affair will be strictly stag, and elaborate preparations are being made for sening a record crowd. ^ of the K. of At the regular 1UCCU meeting p 'lodge Tuesday evening, ‘ arrange­ —.j. committees ____ ___ appoint­ ments _____ were .made, ed. and already preliminary plans are under way.

And then, when it's all over, true to custom, every man of us will be ex­ pected to remove his shoes before en­ tering the house, silently climb the states, retire, and forever after deny that we were participants in the con­ sumption of so vile a dish os corned beef and cabbage.

Truman, a former resi­ dent of Nashville, who is sojourning in Florida, and along with tiie letter he sent a clipping from the St, Petersburg Independent, in which it is stated that the particular issue from which the clipping was taken is given free to everyone who wishes it. Every day the sun fails to shine in St. Petersburg the Independent gives away its entire issue, and in the 18 1-2 years since this policy was put in effect only 94 issues have been given, or an average of 5 1-4 times a year. It’s a good thing that BL Petersburg hasn't had Michigan weather in the last few weeks or the Independent probably would go broke giving away its editions.

There are people to Nashville who buy everything at home and from home-town merchants. And there axe merchants who buy their advertising from the newspaper and other medi­ ums of their own community. And again there are people in this community who buy very little at home thoughtlessly spending their money out of town where It is lost to tiie community. Those who buy at home benefit tiie community by keeping their money at home and reap the addition­ al rewards of buying from business en­ terpriser that depend, for their very existence, upon their reputation for fair dealing. Th? home-town mer­ chant gives his patrons and his com­ munity the fruits of his Industry and his community's patronage. The same principle, which urges peo­ ple to patronize the local merchant who hits his money Invested where it serves them most, should urge the merchant to advertise in the newspa­ pers of his community. This paper boosts Nashville and its people, Lnstitutions and business. Il is fixture. with a heavy investment and depend­ ent, for its existence as a booster, up­ on the patronage of the community. Merchants advertise in newspapers to increase their business. Consumers read newspaper advertisements that they may buy with the least expense of time and effort and-most advantage­ ously both in respect to price and quality. Both advertiser and buyer forget that his advertising makes pos­ sible the newspaper that brings them the news of the day and provides one of the chief stimulants to community growth and betterment .

INLAND WATERWAYS DEVELOP­ MENT Before the Federal Government en­ ters upon any expansive program of inland waterway development it would be well to determtoe the merits of each undertaking as well as the cost. The engineering estimate of the cost of the Panama Canal was $140,000,000 but it actually cost $375,000,000. In a message to the legislature in 1925 the Governor of New York sta­ ted that the cost of the Erie Canal up to ’that date was $230,831,000.

Of course, small ciiildren are not ex­ pected to have the same Christmas spirit their grandparente have. Their Christmas spirit is centered about Santa Claus and what he Is going to give them. They think more of what they receive than of what they give. Theirs, then. Is the spirit ot anticipa­ tion and mystery, largely, mid is al­ ways based on receiving. Next in this line of classification come the children of the ages between five and ten. who ask their fjflhipi for money with which to buy gifts, so they have nothing of the spirit of sac­ rifice. They do not give their gifts for the Joy of giving, but only because everyone else does. After them .come the students be­ tween ten and fifteen, who draw names In school at Christmas, not be­ cause they like to give gifts, but be­ cause they like the spirit of fun which comes of friendly Joking. Next come the high school students, many of whom love Christmas, be­ cause of the two weeks' vacation from the monotonous routine of school—but who come back after It Is over, with the same "Esprit de Corps" as before. Last, but not least, come the older people, some of whom, on Christmas Day. give gifts because they have re­ ceived them and want to even up the score. Others who give gifts get some­ thing good In giving, because It Is Christmas Day. and they think it Is their duty.

V. Jenkins of the Portland. Oregon Police Departent. If We are to reduce crime we must re­ organize our legal system so as to el­ iminate red tape and ’echnlcalities. and arouse public interest in combatting the criminal. The public. Chief Jenkins state, has grown so accustomed to burglaries and even murders that it accepts them as a matter of course. It "passes the buck" entirely to the police, not realizing they are working under great disad­ vantages and against almost insur­ mountable odds. In the opinion of this nationally known authority, the low pay given police officers, coupled with discouraging legal practices that often make tnelr work go for nothing, is a positive encouragement to the criminal.

And time may take another year and leave me gray and old. But here’s Christmas. it's dawn not And oh, I’m glad to see it come. Another Christmas day! For something I am longing, yet not wealth to boast. I'm wishing for another thing. The thing I want the most. For folks at home are hungry for folks inclined to room. And what a Christmas this would be ■ if only our kids and kiddles could come home. Friends may not give me silver, nor give me gems to wear. Friend* may not give me gift* at all, and little I shall care. I sUll may have my labor, I still may have my task. And yet release from things like these and not the things I ask. For silver buckles tarnish, and there's an end to jade. But how I hope whatever comes that love will never fade. I listen for their footsteps, each night I watch the gloom. For Christmas won't be Christmas Day. Because the kids and kiddies cant come home. I know they're mighty busy. I know they have their friends. I know they have a lot to do. before the old year ends. And yet I can't help hoping they'll somehow find a way to spend their Christmas day. The young may long for trinket*, but old folks iong for love. And when it comes to Christmas time That's what they're thinking of. Now some are in the city and some arc far from home. But oh Christmas it will be. if just our kids and kidldes could come home. —Mrs. Ottie Lykins.

WOTRING TO DRAW AND RECITE AT UNION SERVICE HOME OF PETER KLONT CONSUM­ ED BY FLAMES DURING BLIZ­ ZARD THURSDAY NOON. SACRED CHALK TALK PROGRAM SHOWING LIFE OF CHRIST TO BE GIVEN AT THE METHODIST CHURCH. The large nine-room dwelling house on the Peter Klont farm in Kalamo township burned to the ground Thurs­ day noon. The loss is a rather severe one for Mr. Klont and his family, ns practically all of the contents. In­ cluding all the clothing and even the Christmas presents were consumed. The property was Insured In the Flint Lightning Rod company at only about 50 per cent of its value. Mr. Klont and his son .Frank and Ills little daughter Fannie, who were at home at the time the fire started, were eating an early dinner, preparatory to going to Charlotte for the afternoon. While at the table. Frank rtiade the re­ mark that he could smell smoke, and on going up stairs discovered fire be­ tween the floors, but the blaze had gained such headway that It soon con­ vinced the Klonts that it was useless to attempt to extinguish it. and they im­ mediately turned their attention to getting the contents of the lower rooms out of the house, with the re­ sult that a phonograph, six chairs, gas­ oline stove and a few other mmor uten­ sils were saved. A rather stiff wind was raging and It is very lucky that the other buildings, especially the large bam. full of feed and live stock did not take fire. Mr. Klam's many friends sympathize with him in his heavy loss, especially as it occurred right at this time of the year. Mr. Klont has five of his children liv­ ing at home with him. three of whom are now staying with nearby friends. Fire, caused by an overheated fur­ nace. late Saturday night destroyed the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rode­ man. one-half mile south of Assyria.

Mr. VanAuken. who lives with the Rodemans. was in bed In an upstairs room. Awakened by the fire and pass­ ers by who stopped. Mr. Van Auken went to Assyria and notified Mr. and Mrs. Rodeman. who with the help of several others who had arrived in the meantime, succeeded in removing prac­ tically all the furniture from the down­ stairs rooms. Partial insurance is said to have been carried on the residence and con­ tents. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph McNitt and Mr. and Mrs. Kent Nelson were returning from Battle Creek about ten o'clock and were among the first to arrive at the scene of the fire.

Powers Nashville, was named a director of the Barry County Red Cross at the annual meeting of the Chapter helC in Hastings recent­ ly. Rev. L. L. Dewey, of Hastings, was named chairman. A financial report showed receipts during the November roll call to be $776.65, an increase over last year. $340.89 will be sent to Na­ tional headquarters, and the county chapter will retain $357.90 for their work the coming year. Besides the amounts above listed $450.29 was sent the Florida flood sufferers during the past year. Barry county Is unusually rich in de­ posits of high grade marl commonly called "White Gold”. This term signi­ fies the value of marl to farmers as an indirect fertilizer and neutralizer of soil acidity. Alfalfa and Sweet Clover will not thrive on an acid soil and most Barry county soils are acid. Marl deposits have been found in every township in Barry county. Two yards of marl more than equal one ton ground limestone or 3-4 tons hydrated lime—the latter being too expensive to use considering value received. Last year Barry county used approx­ imately 2,000 tons limestone costing about $12,000. An equivalent amount of marl was used costing not mote than $2,000. Barry county farmers should use more marl of which we have a great abundance and save $10,000 per year. A co-operative marl digging company has been organized for digging marl from below water level v.hen necessary but it is far more practical and cheap­ er to dig direct from the pits, by hand, whenever poasible. The expense of handling marl in a manure spreader is little, if any, great­ er than the cost of hauling more ex­ pensive lime from town and applying through a lime/sower. Marl can be dug and handlA at this time of year thereby offering profitable employment to Idle farm teams. Probably It is be­ cause the “white gold" is so common to us and because we have it right here at hom^ easily available, that we do not appreciate its value, Here is one measure of "Farm Relief” which poli­ tics won't have to settle—Barry coun­ ty farmers can settle it on New Year’s day.

The dim light of the old kerosene lamp seemed to be reflected and mag­ nified by tiie star on top the Christmas tree, and one might fancy that its rays streamed through the window and ov­ er the hills. To the little group of ad­ mirers that star was much more tlian a five pointed piece of dull card board.

Sportsmen from all sections cf the state have been isked to submit their views on many ingles of the bird’s success in meeting the natural problems that confront him 'n the state. Many farmers are volun­ teering information that is being tabu'ated faithfully and it Is probable that valuable conclusion^ may be drawn when all the material Is at hand. Anyone who did not receive a que^ tlonnaire but who feels that he has learned something about the pheasant is invited to forward his information to the department. It is not necessary to answer the questions contained in the list submitted by the department, al­ though any expressions in that direc­ tion are welcome.

One of the most outstanding pro­ grams of the winter season will be of­ fered Nashville residents next Sun­ day evening when V. R. Wotring. Woodland, artist, reader and soloist, will give one of his popular chalk talks at the monthly union service in the Methodist church. This will be Mr. Wotring's second appearance here, he having given a similar performance at a Methodist family night affair some few weeks ago. At that time his sub­ jects were secular, but none the less pleasing. • In his Sunday evening program Mr. Wotring will portray the life of Christ, Illustrating his subject with chalk pic­ tures, drawn in the presence of the audience, meanwhile keeping up a con­ tinuous word-picture which places the audience in r receptive mood for the completed drawing. Interspersed with the monologue. will be sacred solos sung by Mr. Wotring as he draws. Mr. Wotring will open his program with the "Visit by the Wise Men," and alll tell the story consecutively with portraits of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, The Crucifixion. The Res­ urrection, The Ascension, and The Holy City. Scripture readings appropriate for the pictures drawn -will be inter­ spersed. and such hymns as "No Room, in the Inn." "The Beautiful Garden of Prayer." "Christ Arose," “Face to Face," and “The Holy^lty." accomany the drawing. The return of Mr. Wotring for a sec­ ond engagement in Nashrille will be appreciated by a large number of peo­ ple who saw and heard him in his pre­ vious appearance, and no doubt there will be a crowded house to greet him Sunday evening. He is one of the best crayon artists on the. plotfo-m and in­ cludes among his appearances those of lyceum and Chautauqua, where his work has met with success. The Sunday evening service will be­ gin at seven o'clock.

Reports being received from the southern tier of counties in the lower peninsula indicate that Bre'r Possum is moving into Michigan. This anima), ao often spoken of os the favorite dish of the southern darkle, usually makes his home tn the vicinity of or below the Mason-DLxon line. But he is ap­ pearing in large numbers, particularly in Berrien county. Those acquainted with the opossum's migratory habit* say that he is moving into Michigan from Ohio where he has come to be a familiar figure in recent years. One has been sighted as far north as Clin­ ton county in central Michigan. As a potential game and fur ani­ mal. the department of conservation has listed him among those slated for proposed protection in the re-codificatlon ot the state's game and fish laws. The fur is not of great value in the eye of the pelt seeker, but Is occasion­ ally used for commercial purposes. “Squawman" The word “squawman" has two meanings. One is an Indian who does a woman's work; the other, the one which Is more often meant a white man married to an Indian woman and living with ber people CONSERVATION OFFICERS TAKE ILEGAL FISHING NETS. Vigilance of conservation department officers recently resulted in a big haul of illegal fishing nets in the great lakes Nearly five and one-half miles of net fell into the hands of the law when Capl E. J. Ellers of the department's craft, Rambler, cruised down upon a scene in the vicinity of Manitou Is­ land. There were 3.000 pounds of whitefish in the net when it was haul­ ed to the surface. One-third of the poundage total was under size. The officers made a clean sweep of the en­ tire equipment Owners of the net are not known a* all identification marks had been erased from the buoys supporting the twine.

During the remainder of the year, about 15 minutes per week will be sufficient to enter the necessary rec­ ords.

But Hastings offers the most modern one. Last week a genial clerk was sent across town to hang some new window shades, entered the wrong house in the absence of the owners, took down the curtains and old shades, hung the new ones downstairs and was proceeding to do likewise upstairs when the mistress of the house returned.

Then—"BuL but, Lou ain’t here. Did he leave before you did?" After John had explained oil he could, he left the bundle of toys with Mom and went down the trail In search of Lou.

As she looked at the star on the tree it seem­ ed to blaze more brightly than before, and the idea gave her hope. When finally she heard steps on the snow, she darted to the door and there she found Pa alone. John had turned after meeting his friend, to follow the path to his own home. Lpu told Mom how he had kept on during the snow storm, hoping to gain time. When the stonn cleared away he found himself far beyond the river where he had seldom had occasion to go. ' BuL how did you find your way back?" questioned Mom. "Come with me", was Pa's reply, and, throwing his coat over her shoulders, he led her outside.

"^eBest—_______ — MODERN MICHIGAN FARMERS NEED SOILS SHORT STUDY COURSE The Days of ’29 BARKY COUNTY FARMERS WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY LOCAL SOIL REQUIREMENTS. Looking to the future we know not Barry county’s agricultural agent has supplied The News with a resume of farm and stock conditions In this coun­ ty for the past year, and we are pleas­ ed to pass It along to our rural sub­ scribers. Regarding the local situa- Your Income conies from the crops you have raised and sold. Perhaps you sold most of your hay and grain to your cattle, hogs and sheep. Whether that was a good market or a poor one depends as much on whether you had good cows, pigs and sheep or just fair to middling. 'It also depends on the care you gave these animals. On New Year's day we can all decide these questions for the new coming year. Your Income comes from your crops but your crops in turn come from your soil. Therefore a study of soil prob­ lems and the discovery and application of best principles of soil management directly affects your income. . This years Barry county farmer bought: • Fertilizer ........................ $75,000.00 Feed ................................ $350,000.00 Lime ................................ $12,000.00 Should we have grown more of this feed which we bought and should we have used the lime which we have Ln extravagant abundance In the marl de­ posits present in every township? Sure­ ly we ought to answer these questions now for 1929. Furthermore—we lost 40 per cent of the value of our farm manures through poor care, L e., leaching, burning, etc. If $2.50 per ton is a fair price this loss totals $310,000.00 for Barry county farmers. * Do we really spend $75,000.00 for commercial fertilizer and. through neg­ ligence, lose $310,000.00 worth of fer­ tility from marl manures? (How does it look around my barn today?) Perhaps we think that with our modof lime and fertilizers, better cleared and better drained fields, we are bet­ ter fanners than our grandfathers were but iook at the records: Grandfather, between 1870 and 1880. averaged for wheat 15 bushels per acre, com 33.4 bushels per acre, oats 31J bushels per acre, hay 1.21 tons — acre. (Average Michigan yields.) Michigan farmers averaged In1927 ___ and 1928 for winter wheat 19 bushels per acre and for spring wheat 18.5 Ux. per acre, com 31 bu. per acre, oats 35.5 bu. per acre, barley 29 bu. per acre, rye 14 bu. per acre, buckwheat 14 bu. per acre, potatoes 98 bu. per acre, beans Are we doing our best or was grand­ father a superman? Welk grand­ father didn't cultivate so many acres. Politicians hadn't discovered the idea of “Reclamation Projects” cither. Per­ haps we ought to take better care of our best acres and cultivate smaller acreages. Perhaps we should abandon cultivation on hilly and Infertile acres and plant them to pine trees. What about our livestock? In 1925 we had 75 horses to 100 in 1910. 92 cattle to 100 In 1910. 46 sheep to 100 in 1910. 69 pigs to 100 in 1910. Styles havf affected the use of red flannels andr styles and religion have both affectet^the consumption of pork. Our 92 cows, however, give more milk and butterfat than 100 cows in 1910 and tractors and trucks have replaced many horses. Nevertheless, the form horse situation is acute. Our farm teams are beyond middle age and re­ placements with younger horses are very scarce and high in price. We have also, too many boarder cows. It is important that we should use bulls whose daughters prove to be superior to their dams and we must test both dams and daughters to find this out. This involves the keeping of older bulls requiring safety bull pens and breeding chutof for the safety of both keeper and sire. It Involves consistent keep­ ing of production records In the cow testing association. Use of better rams and keeping ewes of heavy shearing records will consistently breed better what the days of ’29 will sincere hope that they will each be delightful, profitable, useful days to you—-our friends and patrons who have been so kind and generous toward us. Taking a look back over the days of *28 we find much that fills our hearts with gratitude.

MANUFACTURERS STRIVE T O STOP REST PERIODS OF ME­ CHANICAL EQUIPMENT. A mechanical Jacklof-all-trades which can efficiently perform several different types of farm work is an Ideal toward which farm implement makers are working, and the progress made by manufacturers was on dis­ play at the recent show held at East Lansing by the Michigan Implement Dealers Association. One company allowed an attachment designed for an ensilage cutter which will equip the machine to separate vetch from rye. The possibility of us­ ing a cutter to blow grain from a ihreshing machine to a granary has been successfully tried out in the state. In one case, grain was blown 90 feet and the labor of six men was elimin­ ated. Another manufacturer has develop­ ed an attachment for a manure spread­ er which permits the machine to be used as a-marl or lime sower. The spreader sows a strip from 15 to 20 feet wide. The increased use of electricity for power on farms has led to the manu­ facture of special water pumps adapted for use with this form of power. Oth­ er electrical equipment was on display.

HAL G. EVARTS From the cook shack door the girl viewed these preparations, then turned her eyes to the fiat and visioned It with a carpet of rippling hay. There was a clatter of hoofs and a rattling of gravel as five horsemen put their, sure-footed mounts down the steep slope two hundred yards back of the house -and followed along the fence of the corral. The five Brandons had cut across the shoulder of the mountain. The girl wondered at this visit as she heard Lafe Bran­ don, the father and bead of the tribe, ask Harris to put them up for the night. An hour later Harris and Lafe came to ber door and she let them In. “The Brundons are riding down to file on a quarter apiece," Harris said. “Art quit the wagon below their place as we came la and told the rest Hint we're going to farm the Three Bar.” •Then you're doing the same?" she asked Lafe with sudden hope that her brand would have company in the move. Old man Brandon shook his bead. “Not right off," he said. “Until we see how you folks pan out. We can't fix to handle.lt the way you do. We’re tiling to protect ourselves before some neater outfit turns up at our' front door.” “But the other small outfits fee! the same way,” Harris said. “If two of us start the rest will join tn.” "Maybe so," the old man said doubtfully. “But noways likely. They’re too set on the other side." The thought was deep-rooted and he could not be moved. “We'll let It out It's only for pro­ tection that we all are tiling," he said. “And that we don't alm to prove up. The outfits that don't file now will lose out This will always be open range, more than ninety per cent of 1L and those who file on (heir water will control the grass. As soon as the squatters see one outfit starting. ' they'll take out papers on every piece of dirt they can get water to. They’ll have six months to move on, then a six months’ stay. They'll hang round waiting for things to o;>en up so they can rush in here. The brand owners who haven't hedged thelrselves before­ hand will run down to file and find that nestera have had papers on all the good pieces right in their door­ yard for months. They’ll have only the plots left that their home rnncl] sets on, and likely no water even for that" The Brandons stayed for the night and rode off at daylight the next morning, while the Three Bar men prepared for a trip to Brill's. As the rest were saddling for the start Har­ ris saw old Rile Foster seated by himself, gazing off across the hills. "Better come and ride over with us, Rife," he urged. "Bangs would want you to try and forget." The old man shook his head. “I'm drifting today," he said. “I’ll likely be back before long. I back­ tracked Blue to their camp und trailed them twenty miles to where they joined another bunch. It was some of Harper's devils—I don’t know which four.

The news that the Three Bar had turned Into a squatter outfit had iieen widely noised abroad. From behind th?v bar Brill covertly studied the man who was responsible fur this change. Four men from the Half­ moon D stood grouped at one end ot the room. They spilt up and mingled among the others. Brill moved up and down behind the bar, polishing It with a towel. One, after another be drew each of the men from the Half-moon D into conversation with the ThretBar foreman to determine whether oi not they resented hfs move. Tliere was no evidence of it In their speech. The men from the two outfits min­ gled as unrestrainedly as before ami at last Harris smiled across at Brill. “Well, have you sized it all up?” be asked. The storekee{>er looked up quickly, knowing that Harris had read his pur­ pose in drawing liim Into conversa­ tion with the four men.

Harris walked over to the ta­ ble and the Three Bar men shifted positions, slouching* sidewise at the bar or leaning with their backs to it, alertly watching this unexpected move -as the foreman spoke to the albino. “Let's you and I draw off and have a little talk.” he said. "If you can spare the time.” Harper tilted up the corner of his hole-card and peeked at it, then turned his other cards face down on the table. "Pass,” he said, and rose to face Harris.

This Is just a little explain­ ing, a business talk, so we'll both know where we stand. It's up to you whether we let each other alone or fight." "Good start," the albino comment­ ed. “Go right on." • “All right—It's like this,” Harris resumed. “I'm going to have’ my hands full without you hiring out to pester us. I'm not out to reform the country. They set the fashion of dog eat dog and every man for himself; so the Three Bar Is all that Interests me. You keep out of my affairs and I'll let you go your own gait.
