He Ilan Located In New Town of Car* mangay, Where He Will Engage In Drug Business. He Was a Hastings Boy. For an all around useful citizen, Rev. J. R. Wooton will score well with any of the many useful men In our city. Besides being one of the best preachers we have had here in a long time, he is perefectly at home when called upon to address a farm­ ers’ club, the boy scouts, the high school or a sewing circle. In the field of athletics, he played on the football team during his entire col­ lege career and still enjoys the game as well as the most enthusiastic root­ er. He has a printing office with plenty of type, press, paper cutter and stock right in bis private study and is not* only able to tie a wedding knot that is warranted to stick, but can, print the announcements as well. When the children’s shoes need mend­ ing, he puts them to bed and makes all necessary repairs with his own cobbler's outfit. Only last Saturday night he tapped three pairs of shoes after the children had gone to bed and had them all ready to wear to church Sunday morning; but his strongest fort is in the culinary arts. If you doubt the truthfulness of this last statement, you should try some of his Mexican gallimanfries.—Eaton Rap­ ids Journal. Macleod, Alberta, Dec. 19th, 1912.

Broadway, Hastings, Mich., says: “From child­ hood I was afflicted with kidney com­ plaint. There was pain in the small of my back and twinges darted through me when stooping or lifting. My back ached at night and I was lame in the morning. I tired easily and was languid and nervous. The kidney secretions were too frequent In passage, contained sediment, and I often had to arise at night to void them.

Special Washington Correspondence. “There is one way, and one way only, for the democrats to remain in power: By giving the people after election what they promised before election. The people don't want ex­ cuses; they want deeds.’* This Is Speaker Champ Clark's idea of what the democratic party must do to make good and to be retained in power. “If there Is anything I believe In strongly," said Mr. Clark, “it is that promises made to win an election should be religiously carried out af­ ter the election Is won.” “Men should say what they mean and mean what they say; and they should speak the plain language of the plain people so that all may un­ derstand. The voters of the land have a right to be treated honestly, candidly, fairly and courageously. They are entitled to that square deal of which we hear so much and see so little. “Robert J. Walker’s report on the tariff remains to this day the great­ est paper on that subject. In it he laid down this general principle; “The highest rates should be on lux­ uries; the lowest or none at all on the necessaries of life.” That should be the basis of our revision of the tar­ iff to which we are soleraly commit­ ted. “The rates should be arranged so as to produce the maximum of reve­ nue. while taking from the ultimate consumers the minimum of money in the shape of tariff taxes. That state­ ment may appear paradoxical, but what it proposes is perfectly feasible. There is a maximum revenue-produc­ ing tariff rate on each particular Item which can be ascertained, and which should be ascertained. The mo­ ment the rate on any article goes above the maximum revenue-produc­ ing rate the revenue begins to fall off, and the more the rate is increased the more the revenue dwindles until it disappears entirely, and the rate becomes prohibitive. “Such Is the case with; blankets nine feet long, worth not over forty cents per pound, an article of prime necessity on which the compound specific and ad valorem amounts to a tariff tax of between 155 and 182% per cent. “Without going Into wearisome de­ tails, it is safe to say that threefourths of all the tariff rates of the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot tariff bill are above the maximum revenue-produc­ ing rates and should be reduced at least to a competitive point. “The truth is that the words 4a com­ petitive tariff’ are more easily under­ stood than the words ‘a tariff for revenue only.’ “A competitive tariff" Is one which would give Americans the American market so long as they sell at fair prices, but would let in foreign products if Americans under­ take to gouge Americans. “A com­ petitive tariff" “would in practice be “a tariff for revenue.” The revenue can be increased more frequently by reducing rates than by increasing them. “The present tariff, if thoroughly overhauled, could be made to pro­ duce a great deal more revenue and at the same time not cost the taxpay­ ers one-fourth of what they now pay, for under the present system where cne dollar goes into the federal treas­ ury four or five dollars go into the pockets of the tariff barons. “The rates in a new bill or new bills should be fully as low as the rates in the bills which we passed during this congress, and In some cases lower. “All the talk about the democrats wanting to Injure business is abso­ lutely preposterous. “What we want to do is to give every man an equal opportunity in the race of life, and not pamper a few at the expense of many. Th?t plan would foster every legitimate In­ dustry in the land and injure none. That is one way in which congress can aid in reducing the exceedingly high cost of living, -which is really the most pressing, vexatious, and im­ portant problem with which we have to deal. What the people demand is cheaper food, cheaper clothing, cheaper necessaries of life generally, and any cuts in tariff rates which do not accomplish that are not worth the trouble and labor of making. “The revision ought to be made carefully, scientifically and in harmony with democratic promises.” CARLTON CENTER.

Philip Lutz 500D SIRE MOST ECONOMICAL Pure-Bred Bull Is Cheapest Invest­ ment Farmer Can Make in Build­ ing Up Standard of Herd. •By RAY P. SPEER. Minnesota College of Agriculture.) It has been demonstrated again and again that the cheapest investment that can be made by a farmer who is trying to build up the standard of a herd of cattle lies In the purchase of a good pure-bred bull. It Is not neces­ sary to buy several high-priced fe­ males as a basis for the average herd, nor Is it economical. The most eco­ nomical results can be obtained by buying a bull with masculinity enough behind bls good breeding to stamp bls likeness upon the calves secured. A striking proof of thia has been shown on the cattle show circuit at various state fairs this fall. One of many instances will suffice. Recently a prominent state fair judge bad to choose between two cows with the same dam, but aired by different bulla, for the female championship of the breed. So strikingly similar in type was each of them to its own sire, though the dam was the same, that there was no trouble in distinguish­ ing between the two. The one that had been produced by the more out­ standing sire was so superior to the one that had been produced by the less superior bull that there was do trouble about the selection. The principle lllus<..-atcd Is prac­ tical value to the farmer who is thinking of beginning a herd with limited capital, or who has a very common herd that he desires to grade up. An average group of calves will be far superior to their commonly bred mothers if a good pure-bred bull Is used. Such a hull can be pur­ chased very reasonably if proper care is taken by the purchaser. ALFALFA FEEDER FOR SWINE Excellent Methods of Supplying Hay to Porkers le Shown In Illustra­ tion—Cover Is Needed. A good way to keep the hogs sup­ plied with alfalfa hay is to have a box as shown in the cut on a dry spot just inside the fence. Bolt or nail it to the fence to keep the hogs from rooting it about and upsetting it The open space should not be too wide or considerable hay will be wasted. Happenings In Michigan. Figures compiled by the state board of health show that filtration of water Faves considerable typhoid fever and other diseases. Four children of Mr. and Mrs. Ed­ uard 1 . ■. nd r. of Whitmore Lake, died of set.riel fever last week, within four days. Blood poison duo to an ulcerated tooth caused the death of Herman Marqundt, one of Ann Arbor's most prominent contractors. Alice Jackson, convicted of at­ tempting to do great bodily harm to her husband, was sentenced by Judge Knnppen at Kahunazoo, to one year in Jackson prison. In pronouncing sentence the judge declared be could see no reason why she should be given a lighter sentence than a man accused of such an offense. John J. McCarty, a well known at­ torney of Standish, died Christmas day of Brights disease. Dr. Preston B. Rose, former mem­ ber of the faculty of the University of Michigan. is dead, at the age of 77 years. Dr. Rose became connected with the medical department of the university In 1845, serving until 1881, at which time he resigned following his exoneration on charges of misap­ propriation of university funds. Marshall Hulbert and Dennis Brown, both 16 years old, were drowned In the Rogue river at Rock­ ford, last Thursday. Anxious to try their new Christmas skates they ven­ tured upon thin Ice which gave way and they went down. Supervisor S. A. Rogers, of Eaton Rapids township, died Inst Thursday night from blood poisoning caused by an abscess of the ear. He was serv­ ing hie. third term and was promi­ nent in the democratic ranks of the county. Representative J. M. C. Smith, of Charlotte, will introduce a bill at this session of congress for an appropria­ tion to reimburse the depositors of the defunct Albion National bank for losses sustained by the failure of that institution. The claim is made that had the government officials perform­ ed their duty the depositors would have been saved the heavy losses they seem likely to sustain if the gov­ ernment does not come to their relief. Charlotte’s bachelor's committee distributed fifty-four baskets of candy, peanuts, oranges, toys, dolls, etc., to 150 kiddies Christmas eve. Hints For Housekeepers.

An Alfalfa Feeder for Hogs. The hoga will eat more and waste less if they can get but a sprig or two of hay at a time, says the Missouri Valley Fanner. The brighter the hay the better the porkers grill like It and the more good it will do them. Be sure and have a cover on the box. Silage for Horsts. Experiments at the Pennsylvania station showed that horses can grad­ ually be accustomed to ellage, and can eat It safely when It Is sound and made from mature silage corn. Some animals do not readily accept cotton­ seed meal, though the number of such animals is relatively small. Sb lage-fed horses consumed less grain and were better finished and sleeker than those fed hay as the sole rough­ age. The use also of cottonseed meal resulted in higher gain and better finish than where oata was the prin­ cipal source of protein. Be careful not to let those fall pigs stop growing. Which class of horses are you rais­ ing, the profit killer or the profit maker? Sheep do not drink much water, but what little they drink must be abso­ lutely clean. Don’t expect to make a profit on a flock of sheep unless you give them proper attention. The ewes and lambs should be kept out of hearing of each other for a time when weaning. Lack of thrift is Induced by lack of care. A careless shepherd Invariably makes a poor sheep. Silage la well adapted for fattening lambs and for a part ration for win­ tering breeding sheep. Sometimes a week’s chill rains or cold weather will set the pigs back a month in their growth. The day ia not far distant when the scrub hog will be only a mem­ ory. Hasten Its coming. There is no animal that responds more quickly or more profitably to good treatment than the pig. When hogs bare free access to salt there is little danger of their eating enough to injure themselves. Don’t let the pigs get lousy. Spray them with kerosene emulsion, while eating, once every two weeks. Sheep are a good medium for in­ creasing the fertility of the farm of the man who has limited means. It Is almost impossible to crowd the young pigs too fast, provided you give the right kind of food and care. Don't leave the sheep In a dry-short pasture. Give them u chance In a fresh pasture, or give n good grain ration. If hogs are lousy sot a small post. Wrapped tight with an old rope. In the ground and soak tl:e rope with coal oil. The hog will do the rest. Purblind Moeoback.

In the year 1846 Mr. Hauer then a boy of eight years, came with his parents and two sisters to Roch­ ester, N. Y., and worked at the coop­ er’s trade until 1864 when they moved to Woodland, Mich. He was married to Caroline Rolf April 27, 1870, and moved onto the farm where the family now reside. To this union were born five sons, William, John, George, Albert and Herman, and three daughters, Mary, Louise and Amelia, all living and grown to man­ hood and womanhood. For over thir­ teen years Mr. Hauer was a sufferer from rheumatism and In all the weary years when his body was racked with pain, no murmurs or complaints were uttered. But with a patience born of God he bore his suffering. This noble example will ever be cherished in the hearts of his family and friends. Con­ firmed in the Lutheran faith, he was a devoted member of the Evangelical Lutheran church until his death, which occurred Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 24. He died at the age of 75 years and 27 days, leaving to mourn the widow and children, five grand­ children, a sister, Mrs. Funk, and a host of friends. The community has lost a friend universally loved and re­ spected, the family a loving husband and father. The Father’s love encircles now, The Father’s arms upbear.

The Journal-Herald enters upon the new year with kindly feelings and best wishes for all its readers. The year that has just passed from the stage has been a pleasant and pros­ perous one, for this paper and for the community it serves. Some progress has been made, some good, we hope, has been done, bo that we all enter upon the new year with the feeling that the year 1912 has been fruitful of good things. But, we must never be content with past achievements. The year 1913 must see us farther advanced in all good things than the year .1912, and ro in extending to all our wishes for a Happy New Year, we Include the hope that it may be a year full of use­ fulness, and uplift and achievement. We shall try to make this our own aim and we hope and believe It will be the alm of all our readers. Then the Happy New’ Year wish will be­ come a reality. The Lesaea to Orgaaked Labor. When will men understand that a just capse cannot be helped by unjust measures? The concert ot laboring men to protect themselves in their rights, to advance the welfare of them■elves and their families, to promote their standard ot living, ot intelligent, rational enjoyment ot the good things of life, is a splendid thing in itself. But organised labor cannot be profit­ ed in any respect whatever, by law­ lean: ess, violence, conspiracy against men who do not join it Organised labor is sorely injured by ■uch men as the thirty-eight iron workers who have just been convicted at Indianapolis of wholesale dynamit­ ing. These men were mostly promi­ nent in the Iron Workers’ Interna­ tional Union, Including Its president It Is probable they justified their course on the ground that the end justified the means. Even now, it may be that some of them, or at least some of their friends, imagine that they sire martyrs. But the fact is they are lawbreakers, murderers, enemies of society and of their own fellow laborers. If they could have kept on In their horrible, brutal tactics, they would have destroyed labor unionism. For the American people will not long stand such anarchistic methods. And bo the conviction and punish­ ment of these dynamiters will not only not hurt the cause of organised labor, but will be of great benefit to it, and especially will this be true If the men wfto lead the unions take thia lesson to heart and resolve that henceforth the cause of labor shall not be dragged down into the mire cf lawlessness and crime, but rather that it* battles Shall be fought by fair, lawful, honorable means. Then it will make steady progress upward. Peusiosn. The questions of pensions in sevoral forms are before the people, One is a mother's pension; another pension of teachers, and general corpotation's pensions for those have long been employed in any cor­ poration. The law pensioning soldiers of the American wars was for special ser­ vices. It was in the nature of a re­ ward, for something out of the ordiaavy. for wounds, or disability in the service of the country. Several of Its features are perhaps stretches of the Idea first originating, but all such pensions have the fundamental idea of reward. When is comes to pen­ sioning in civil life there is some doubt of its general utility. The teacher who teaches ten months, practically not more than nine, re­ ceiving higher than average wage, has no more clahn on the community in which the service has been rendered than the man who digs the ditches or cleans the streets. The dependent mother has no more claim for maternity than the richest lady of the land, and it would be morally an Injustice to make the dis­ crimination. There are too many grafts already on the producers. The growing army of dependents is putting too great a burden on the industry of the country. If teachers are improvident, if any other class of peole for whom pen­ sions are asked, are unable to sup­ port the family, provision under the law is already in force to care for them. If teaching is unprofitable, teachers should seek other occupa­ tions. There is no law to compel them to teach, and there should be no law to compel others to care for them out of their earnings. Social­ ism may teach many pernicious things but none of it is as pernicious as the advocacy of pensions in civil life. Happy Tear to Gov. Ferris. All the people of Michigan, irre­ spective of political opinion, will join in this salutation to the new governor. For they have great faith in the Big Rapids schoolmaster whom they have placed In the capitol at Lansing io watch over their interests and to guide their public affairs for the next two years. And there is good reason to believe that such faith is well founded. Th ■ new governor enters upon his term untrammeled by promises and n’l ances. committed by his past record and his public utterance* to a broadnrincipled policy of democratic econ­ omy and unswerving devotion to duty. There is a general feeling that Mr. Ferris will make good. Morcver he will be supported by a democratic! contingent in the legislature! of suf­ ficient numbers to he of great in­ fluence. The progressive members are likely to be in sympathy with his administration in Ills efforts to give the state a reform administration. So under favorable auspices. Gov­ Ferris ernor — ‘ enters upon his new work. Wc wish him a Happy Now course it will not be a conYear. Of ---------------... — tinuous round of joy. If he docs hi 4 duty as we believe he will, there will be many bitter moments, many dis­ appointments, much hostility—but if he makes good, the year 1913 will on the whole be a happy year, and when it is closed the people of Michigan will give him an even more hearty greeting, on Jan. 1, 1914, than on Jan. 1st, 1913. HUNTING DR. GREGG By CLARA INEZ DEACON. Godfrey Gynn. artist, was an ath­ lete. That is, he was going to be ' sonic day. In his studio in the city ' he swung Indian clubs and lifted weights, and down at his brother's . farm, where he passed most of his Sundays, he did more. He rose with the lark to tramp around in the dew and breathe through hla nose. The rest of the fam­ ily growled about it, and the lark put him down as an eccentric. He felled trees to get shoulder muscles, and as he wasn’t particular as to whose trees they were, old Farmer Hobba made him pay five dollars each for them.

Ferris, First Demo­ cratic Governor in £1 Years, Takes Oath of Office, Very simple were the ceremonies that attended the Inauguration of the first democratic governor Michigan has had since "Winans’ administration. With a bright sun shining upon the scene Woodbridge N. Ferris stood on the east portico of the capitol Wed­ nesday noon, and in the presence of 10,000 people, took the oath of office administered by CMef Justice Steers. At the conclusion of the taking of the oath byjthe several state officers, a salute or 17 guns was fired, by the two companies of state artillery, the crowd cheered and the simple cere­ mony was over. The legislature organized at once. The republican slate went through ia the house, each of the three parties holding together and voting for its own candidates. Gilbert A. Currie, of Midland, was elected speaker, the democrats voting for Edwin Fanner, of Livingston; and the progressives for J. N. McBride, of Shiawassee. The remainder of the republican slate was elected, as follows: Clerk, Charles E. Pierce, of Lansing; speak­ er pro tem., Charles H. McBride, of Holland; sergeant-at-arms, A. A. Bush, of Detroit; postmaster, Frank E. Moi, of Sanilac. That Breach ef Promise Case. The Mock Court Trial to be given under the auspices of Bible Class Number One of M.

Best of all will be the refined fun of the whole affair. With Hon. Ele­ ment Smith presiding over the court, Mrs. Kittle Clarke appearing as the broken-hearted plaintiff, Col. Newton pipsecuting *tlie case and Hon.

It is surmised that the plaintiff and her friends have been tampering with this wit­ ness, as be was an important witness for the defendant It is also rumored that the fact that J. E. Rad­ ford has be?n found to take the place of this witness, on an exceedingly short notice, 1s indicative that the de­ fendant in the case is determined that nothing shall be -left undone to relieve himself of heavy damages for his apparent wanton disloyalty to the plaintiff, The judge is greatly troubled about the matter and says if the proof on the trial shows any cor­ ruption, he will stop the case and make an immediate nrder for r grand Jury.

Morley Mains, aged 12. nearly lost his life at Morgan yesterday while skating on the mil’ pond. His little sister and brother were skating with him when the thin Ice gave way un­ der Morley. While the latter was struggling In the water, the brother and sister pulled off their skates and inn to the store about t»o rods away, and secured help. Just as the boy was about to be drawn under the lee James Howard slipped a polo under him and hauled him in. It was Billy Peters who first said that tho twin sisters were scrump­ tious. As Billy was a twice-a-week caller at the home of tho Misses El­ len and Mary Roy, It is to be pre­ sumed that it meant something flat­ tering. The twins looked alike and dressed alike and sang alike and become sen­ timental each In the same way. Billy didn't know which one he wanted. Half the time he didn’t know which was Ellen, and the rest of the time he didn’t know which was Mary. Where he escorted one, he escorted the other. It was expensive. Billy began to run Into debt. “This won't do," he decided. ‘TH get a photograph of each. Then I'll go off by myself and decide which '.)! . ,T. " • " . one gets the prize. The Misses Roy gave their photo­ graphs willingly. Billy took them home. He aat down with a lead penall to mark them for Identification. “This one is—H'm! Why didn't I let them autograph them? Which one The New Year—the Season is this one? Blessed if I know. Well, we’ll mark this No. 1 and this of New Resolutions—is here. No. 2.” Next day Billy started on his va­ cation. He went to a quiet farm­ house. The board was cheap, and the Let your first resolution be to quiet gr-ve him plenty of time to de­ cide his fate. He scanned the pic­ put aside a portion of your daily tures In the woodland. In the meadow, in the fields, and in the orchard. Fi­ ■ earnings. nally his troubled soul was stilled. No. I’s smile was just a bit smilier than No. 2’s. “That’s the one ni marry," said For your kindness and patronage in the past, Billy Peters. we thank May lhe new year bring you and So he came home. He had decided that he'd forthwith propose to No. your family contentment, prosperity and success, 1. Then his soul sickened. Which was No. 1? However, Billy was equal to a little thing like that. He carried the pho­ to of No. 1 with him to the Roy home. The twins entertained him in the par­ lor. Billy took the photo from his pocket. “Whose little-face is this?’’ he ask­ ed. Mary Roy studied the likeness. “Why, that’s Ellen.” Ellen studied it "It is not. It’s you, Mary.” Billy Peters went home with a headache. It took Billy two days to straighten out this tangle. This time he had a real idea. He put two slips of paper Into a hat One was marked Ellen and the other was marked Mary. He closed his eyes and drew out Ellen. That night Billy called again. Ona of the twins was in the parlor. “Ellen," he began, tremulously. “I’m Mary,” she smiled. Billy swallowed hard. Well, what difference did it make? ____ _________________________ ——-----------------------“Mary,” ho asked, “will you be my ! _____ - - ■ wife?" She shook her head. *Tm sorry, Billy. I like you. But I won't marry until Ellen marries.” The other twin entered the parlor. Billy manipulated his fountain pen and then shook hands with Ellen. He seemed quite sorry that he had inked her hand. But he had her marked. That was the main thing. Half an hour later one of the twins left the room. The one that remained had ink on one hand. Billy hastened to her side. "Ellen,” he whispered, "will you bo my wife?" She shook her head. *Tm sorry, Billy. I like you. But I won’t marry until Mary marries.” Billy Peters staggered to the door. "What do you think I am," he de­ manded, "a Mormon?” But there waa still a fight left in this much harassed lover. Soon he had another plan. He'd dip up a nice chap—lots of nice chaps. He’d take them to the Roy home. If one of them married Ellen he’d take Mary, and if one married Mary, he'd march off with Ellen. He brought nine young men to their home. Then the twins woke up and told him to stop. “I’ll marry nobody but you,” said Ellen. “And I'll marry nobody but you,” said Mary. What are you going to do this year—the same as in years before? “But I won’t marry you unless you marry Mary.” Or are you going to get out of that rut and make something by “And I wont marry you unless you saving your money. This year you should make the start different marry Ellen.” “And I wont marry until Mary mar­ from that of last year.

He thanked them for the great honor they had thrust upon him and made his way to the street.

BUTLER answered John’s ring and on inquiry informed him that the ladies of the _____ Hampden family were not at home. “Will you wait, sir?’ “No." And John turned away. He walked out into the country across the bridge at the confluence of North Branch and South Branch, where rises Grant’s Knob. He followed the path that leads, corkscrew fashion, to the crest of the knob, and there, in the thick of the shade of a big walnut, leaning against an old bowlder tbai had crowned the knob longer than Joht could remember, sat the object of hh quest He had an instant to look at her be fore she observed him, and smiling!) he availed himself of it And ver?

An open book la* in her lap, but sb< waa not reading. Through half closed eyes she was gazing dreamily at tin Mils that marched away into the hint distance. He took a step toward her. Slit heard him and looked up. “Hello!” he said. “Good afternoon.” Her salutation waa very cool indeed. “Of course if you don’t want me tc stay**— “It Isn’t my hill.” He langhed outright “Her tactic* never wary. It sesroa,” he remarked “Effective, though. Queer, isn’t it how attractive a girl becomes when she puts on that frigid, speak to me il you dare manner?” “You were very stupid Mt to knon Ute the other day.” “But I remembered yon”— “You mean you forgot all about me.* —“as an impudent long legged, free klad tomboy with red hair while you”He paused deliberately. “My hair was never red.” she replied coldly. Suddenly the clouds broke away. She returned to him with a laugh. “Oh. I can’t keep it up. But where did you get your courage? You weren’t nearly so brave the other morning. I’ve been here six days. Why haven’t you come to see me?" she demanded. “Well, you see,” he began lamely to explain. “I’ve had a good many impor taut things to think about and”— “And I was neither Important nor in foresting. You need practice, I see.” “But you are.’’ “Yon really And me interesting? Ton know. I’ve worked bard, very bard, to earn the involuntary. generou> compliment I am about to receive." “I do—surprisingly so.” he responded promptly. “You needn’t be so surprised.” she re torted. “I was always rather present­ able in spite of the freckles, only you wouldn't condescend to notice it You didn't like me.” “But you were such a pesky little nuisance, you know. Let me see.” he added reflectively, “that waa—yes. it's been ten years since 1 last saw you. Kot counting the other morning, of course.” “No, eight” she corrected him. “You saw me after the big game, the tiint you saved the day. Y’ou walked right by me. looking straight Into my eyes, and never recognized me. You wen too anxious to reach Adele Whitting­ ton and be made a hero of by her. Sh* was as proud as—as I'd have been If Td had the chance—to exhibit you." “How is Adele?" “Oh. she’s dreading thirty, is fighting down a tendency to fat. has begun to paint and often asks about you. Are you still in love with her? And am I a cat to talk so about her? And has she had many successors?” “No to all three questions. She gave ma a bad three months, though." Tm glad of it" she declared vengefully. “Didn’t you know I was terribly in love with you? That’s what made me such a pesky little nuisance. Ob. you needn't look so shocked since I: was only calf love and I have quite re­ covered. Quite!” So while the golden afternoon waned they exchanged pleasant nonsense. His spirits rose unaccountably. He whs very boyish, very gay. Sometimes they rose to half serious discussion that skipped lightly and audaciously alwi.t from j>eak to peak of human knowl­ edge. She had traveled much with her father, who, it appeared, had "really learned how to travel." ha-ing to make the most of his limited leisure. She knew places not starred in Baedekerquaint. obscure corners of the earth, full of color. John helped out this part of the talk with questions more or les> intelligent. She was pleased to com­ mend his interest “One could almost believe yon had been there. You would enjoy these places, 1 know. Not every one does. I'd love to visit, not do. them with you sometime." "I'd like to very much. But." he an­ swered simply. "I’m afraid it will lie a long, lung time before 1 can afford it." 8he turned and surveyed him thought, fully. "Now. I like that—the way you said it. I mean. You speak of It in such a matter of fact way. as though the lack or possession of money wen* really of no great lni|iortance to yon." “It slipped out." he confessed. "I don’t like to seem to pose. 1 mak< enough for my immediate needs, of course, nnd some day I expect to have more—though not wealth as you prob­ ably measure IL" “I’m not sure whether it is really important to me. I do not like the things it buys. But even more I like to think of the power it represents. It’s that and the game of getting It that makes men want money in large quantities. Don’t you think so?” He remem lx?red certa in rumors he had heard concerning Stephen Hamp■ Jen’s rise to wealth and he put a guard upon his lipa “I don’t know much about it, I fear," which was entirely true. “After col­ lege I went to law school, then settled here. The family name and father's being a judge helped me to a quick start, 1 suppose. Since then I have done about as well as the average young lawyer in a small town. That Is ail. It is very commonplace." “That doesn't explain why you are wanted by a whole county. It’s your cbanco to escape the commonplace. Isn’t it? Popularity means power and power Is splendid always—I’m primi­ tive, you see. I would use It, revel in it, make it lift me Into the high places. Dad says every one believes you have a big future. Which is good evidence that you have a big future, isn’t it?” “The wisdom of twenty-threeI" he laughed. “Oh. you won’t take me seriously! Dad says I have the most intrusively Togothor They Went Slowly Down Into the Valley. executive mind he ever met He is vary nice about It He often asks me what I think of things and men”— “And .then forms his own opinions?” “That" she sighed, “la the disap­ pointing fact" “Did you plan that?" He pointed to a grove of trees on the crest of East ridge, through which gleamed the white stucco wails of that palatial resi­ dence ao frequently mentioned Id the Globe. “Yes. Do you like itr "I haven’t seen it except at a dis­ tance. But why In New Chelsea?" “Why not?” she argued, with spirit. “Aren't our hills as beautiful as the Berkshire* and the air as fine? Why shouldn’t we enjoy tbe place the money, comes from? Dad says a lot of monev is to come from this valley in the next few years.” His face became suddenly grave. Thinking of her last words, be looked down at the quaint, old fashioned, drowsing town that lay at tbe foot of tbe knob. Far away across the hills hovered a perennial cloud, smoke of Plumville's mills. Already it was be­ ing whispered that the sudden return of tbe captain of finance, tbe building of the big bouse with its air of perma­ nence, were not without commercial significance. John was a young man given to sentiment “I was thinking of New Chelsea.” be ■aid dryly. “So tbe old order chang­ oth. The world of fashion and finance comes a-knocklng at our door. Our peaceful valley Is to be exploited.” “Can’t you see the world moving— and New Chelsea with it?” He was not looking at the shadow, but at her. silhouetted against the sky. strong with tbe strength of women whose fathers have tolled close to the soil, eager, palpitating with life, for life. He wondered curiously whnt manner of woman she was, what lay under the precocious hardness that could see only the picturesque iu :i ramshackle. poverty stricken Italian village and could dismiss with a care­ less laugh the fate of a chick in a hawk's clutches. The line of shadow passed the sum mlt of East ridge. The valley lay in twilight. They watched until tbe sun sank. "Shall we go down?” Together they went slowly down into the valley ard its twilight to her home. "We have now seen,” she said, "n sunrise and a sunset together.” THURSDAY. JANUARY 2. 1913. “’And the evening and the morning were the Hist day.’" lie quoted smil­ ingly, "1 wonder what the next day holds." "Aunt Roberta." he laughed, “hopes that i'll fall in love with you." "How perfectly absurd! Although it might redress lhe balance, unless,” she added demurely. “1 should suffer a re­ turn of my youthful malady.” "Which would be doubly absurd. It’s 1 like chickenpox. Having had one at­ tack. you are thereafter immune.” They laughed gnyly. On tbe terrace little tables were set and John renewed bls acquaintance with Stephen Hampden, a short, stocky, pleasant voiced man. who in no way resembled the marauding pi­ rate that rumor had him. Also with Mrs. Hampden, a lady who toiled not nor spun, bat was always tired and talked in n languid, honeyed voh-e. There were also Warren Blake, sol­ emn and handsome, and his mother. ■ aby, faded old woman, frightened in the presence of “society folk," and not altogether happy iu the Sunday splendor of best black silk and bon­ net Mrs. Hampden said Newport would be deprived of the Hampdens* presence that summer, because she had tbe new house to open and, more­ over, preferred to remain with her husband, who had Important business matters to oversee. “She means," Katherine whispered, “that dad caught a tartar In Wall street” Later the Blnkes rose to leave. War­ ren with surprising tact covering the awkwardness of his mother’s fare­ wells, nnd then, unostentatiously gen­ tle, escorting her away. Hampden caught bis wife yawning daintily. "Well, Maria, since you're so tired, we might ns well go in and leave these young people to themselves. The chaperon has no standing in New Chel. sea.” After a languid good night to John Mrs. Hampden went, with an air of utter weariness, into the house. Hampden, however, for the space of one cigar, remained on the terrace, chatting pleasantly, during wblch time John discovered that even Steve Hamp­ den, hard driver of men and daring ■peculator, had a very likable Bidand took a mighty pride in his daugh­ ter. When the cigar had been tossed ■way Hampden rose, shaking hands cordially with John. “I’d better take my own advice. I have to work tomorrow, but don’t you miss this fairy night Come around often. John. And don’t let this girl flirt the bead from your ■boul­ ders.” “Tm already fearful tor my peace of mind." John laughed. “But I shall come often, thank you." It would be evidence of an officious surveillance to set down here just how often John Dunmeade journeyed to the ugly bouse behind tbe hedge. It was not however, thanks to the duties of his candidacy, as often as he would have liked. But there were other matters de­ manding the attention of John Dun­ meade. nominee for tbe office of dis­ trict attorney by grace of tbe bosses' choice. For he saw an army, whose discipline and weapons and effective­ ness caused him to wonder, go forth to war. Not with pomp and panoply— that was to come later. This was the time for scout and recoDnoissance. for tbe drawing of maps, the seizing of strategic positions and for numbering tbe enemy. The enemy—the people— John perceived, made no counter prep ■rations. did not even see tbe nece« ■tty. Jeremy Applegate one day gave John ■ new point of view. Jeremy was an old soldier, a cripple, and a clerk in tbe recorder's office. “I’m almighty glad." said Jeremy, “that for once I’ve got to work for a man I got some respect for. I'm a pretty specimen of citizen, ain’t I?” he exclaimed bitterly. "I got a teb. Wby've I got it—because I'm fit for it? Guess you lawyers that have to rend my kinky handwrite know better'n that It’s because I'm an old soldier and a r>egleg nnd tbe kind of shrimp that’ll go round whinin’ to his friends about bls job so’s to get them to vote the ticket Yessir. I’m that kind. I fit for my country all right, but I did it because it was my duty, not so’s to be able to get a job and beg for vote* afterward. I was a man then. Now I’m a parasite. For nigh onto twenty years I've done it because I can’! make a livin’ any other way, for good men and bad men, for them ! can re­ spect—mostly for them I can’t respect. I ain’t allowed a mind of my own ner a conscience, and every time I go cam­ paignin' 1 feel like a pup. Do yon know what it Is? It's hen, that’s what1 it is." “What we need," said John, “ia civil service.” “Civil service! They’ve got civil serv­ ice in the postoffice. Did you ever hear of a postmaster or bls clerk that wasn’t In politics?" But a grumbling soldier often is a good fighter; witness Jeremy on a scouting expedition. It begins at tlu» establishment of Silas Hicks, livery­ man. Jeremy, being a pegleg, cannot tramp the weary miles ahead of him. He drives ont Into the country, brow wrinkled ns he marshals his argu­ ments. He has no eyes for the calm beauty of tbe afternoon. He pulls In the jogging horse beside a field in I the middle of which a man is seen 1 driving a liayrake. In response to* Jeremy's hall the man descends from his seat and walks slowly over to lhe fence. “Howdy, comrade." says Jeremy. “Howdy, Jeremy." “Good harvestin' weather." “Thirty good." comrade agrees. There is not a cloud in the sky. "Smoke?" suggests Jeremy. From n bulging pocket he draws forth a cigar girdled by a gaudy red and gold band. They are very good cigars, costing $ln the hundred. At home repose three boxes of them, recently purclir-jvd. Jeremy has needed a new suit and his wife a new dress for more than a year. These luxuries, however, must be postponed. The farmer holds the cigar to his nose, sniffing approvingly. “1’11 keep It till after supper." He deposits it carefully on the bottom rail of the fence beside his water Jug. Jeremy resorts again to the bulging pocket "Keep that and smoke this now," he offers generously. The farm­ er lights the cigar. From another pocket Jeremy draws forth his own weed. This pocket Is not so well fillet] ■nd contains only "three fers" for Jeremy's own consumption. After further preliminaries Jeremy opens fire. “S’pose you're goln’ to git into line this fall, same ns ever, comrade?” be remarks casually. The farmer leans on the fence in an attitude suited to comfortable argu­ ment "Well, I don't know’s I am.” “With Johnny Dunmeade on the ticket?” “I’ll vote for him. He's all right Does my law work. I don’t think much of the state ticket, though.*' Forthwith Jeremy launches into a passionate defense of his part)’, in which the tariff is freely mentioned. Reference is made also to the days when comrade and he shared blankets together on the red soil of Virginia. He talks rapidly, dreading to hear tho argument which he cannot answer. Comrade is not unimpressed, bnt is far from conviction. “Well, I don't know," he says slowly. And then brings forth tbe thing that has been haunting Jeremy’s nights and days. “I’m bothered some about that trust company business. Looks to me as if some of Murchell's politicians was at the bottom of it When they git to foolin' with our banks. It’s time to make a change. If we let ’em go on, how’m I to know that my bank ain’t mixed up with ’em?" There is a silence, while Jeremy braces himself for his duty. “I know. It—it’s been botherin’ me, too. But," he looks away and tries manfully to keep the whine out of his voice, “rm askin’ yon as a favor to me to over­ look it They’ve served notice on me that I’ve got to bring In my list for the whole ticket or my job goes.” There Is another silence, a longer one, while the farmer chews his cigar reflectively. “Well,” be says at last, “I’d like to do ye a flavor. Jeremy. I’D think It over” TO BE CONTINUED. Escaped After Fifteen Years. W. P. Broyles made a successful escape after fifteen years of suffering from kidney and bladder troubles. Foley Kidney Pills released him and will do just the same for others. He says: "They cured a most severe backache with painful bladder ir­ regularities, and they do all you cialm for them."

NEW GOVERNOR I URGES HARMONY Colleague* in Common Ser­ vice for the People. legislation recommended Inaugural Meuage of Gov. Ferris De­ dares Party Differences Are Sec­ ondary and Advocates Hearty Co­ Operation From Start to Finish to Promote the Highest Welfare of the State of Michigan. '/ , : , . Following Is tho full text of tho In­ augural message of Governor Ferris to the state legislature: Gentlemen of the Legislature: We are entering upon a new era in state­ craft. A general awakening is in pro­ cess of evolution. The people are coming to feel with force the timebonored Quotation. "A government of ths people, by the people and for the people.” They are not over-zealoua as to the particular political party that an official represents; in fact, the three great political parties in Mich­ igan agree on essentials and it ought, therefore, to be easy for the legislators representing these three great parties to work together harmoniously and efficiently in securing these common ends. We are, indeed, colleagues in Our effort to join in common service for the highest welfare of our great wtate. In other words, we are cltimm and public servants first and our party differences are secondary. 1 can assure the present legislature that I shall take great pleasure in encour­ aging hearty co-operation from start to finish. Most of the measures that X shall recommend have commanded the attention of the people for at least a decade. Primary Law. The secrecy of our ballot Is the foundation of our liberty and the law wisely provides that this should re­ main inviolate. Our present primary law violates these fundamental prlnr' dples by providing that every voter shall tell the town board to which , party he belongs, be publicly recorded [ as such a partisan, and his name sent to Lansing as such a partisan. Ho can only change his label on certain days of the year as provided by law. This provision should be repealed. I suggest that registration day and prlmary day be one and the same. This would insure a full attendance at the primary. All party tickets should be printed on one ballot, the voter mark­ ing one ticket only in. the booth. In order to prevent minority nomina­ tions, provisions should be made for a second choice column. । The abolition of party enrollment would do away with the absurd 15 per cent proposition. By having registra­ tion day and primary day the same, ; thousands of dollars could be saved. ; By giving the people the Initiative and referendum to amend the constitution and make laws; by giving them a ! single and secret ballot and a primary law to nominate and elect their pub11c servants; by giving them the reL "K call to discharge unworthy and mlaI’ * representative public officials, you f place in their hands the necessary I . tools whereby they can easily get such S’ reform legislation as they desire. The I above are the fundamental things that should take precedence over all other legislation if we are to have in this I state a government truly of, for and I. by the people. ! I j I i 1 I j . ! 1 : |; Q i! J I i 9! 1 I | 11 ■- Initiative and Referendum. In order that the people may rule it is essential that they be given the proper tools to work with so that they may attain their own salvation. The most important of these measures Is the Initiative and referendum. This system has been adopted by nearly one-third of the states in the union. but in one-half of these, the system is ineffective because of some “joker” inserted in the amendment. A const!tuhonal amendment should be submitted providing for the initiative and ■ the referendum. Of all the states. Oregon has had the initiative and referendum the longest It has been tn operation there for over ten years and during that time the people have initiated or referred over one hundred measures by popular vote. Th® Percentage of petition signers is reasonable and the amendment is self­ operating. I suggest that It should be adopted without any substantial change. Its operation after a series of years has been so satisfactory, that after ten years the people voted down the attempt to repeal it by an over­ whelming majority. Recall. A constitutional provision should •Iso be submitted providing for the recall of all executive, legislative and administrative officials. The petition for the recall should not require more than 25 per cent of the voters of the district This percentage has the ap­ proval of all of the authorities on this ■object Ballot Reform. If the people r.re to rule through FACE ELETEE the agency of the ballot at the elec­ tion primary, they must simplify our election primary laws. Possibly we are under the delusion that we have had the Australian ballot system for many years, but, us a matter of fact, such is not the case. It is claimed that the present party column ballot is easy for the Ignorant voter to vote the straight parly ticket, but It is dif­ ficult for the independent voter to spilt the party ticket. The double system of marking the ballot with a circle on the top and squares at the side gives rise to endless confusion. Many voters mark the squares to the side of the first name on the ticket, believing that this mark votes the whole ticket Election inspectors say that one voter in ten falls to mark his ballot properly, indicating that 50.000 Michigan voters are annually disfran­ chised. in whole or In part, by tho present complicated ballot. Our bal­ lot should be changed to the genuine Australian ballot, similar to that pro­ vided by the Massachusetts law. The advantage in this ballot is, that there is but one way to mark it No compli­ cated instructions are necessary. In voting, each candidate's name comes under the eyes of the voter and he places a cross in front of the name of every’ man he wishes to vote for. Furthermore, I recommend a cor­ rupt practices act, providing for the limitation of expenditures and the publication of these expenditures both before and after primary and regular elections. revenue. Our present inheritance tax brings us in a comparatively small amount. I would suggest that this tax should be largely Increased, especially on extremely large fortunes, and the proceeds be placed in the general fund for slate purposes. A second source of revenue might come from a grad­ uated income tax like our sister state of Wisconsin is now trying. The cor­ porate-excess tax plan of Massachu­ setts as recommended by the commit­ tee of inquiry into taxation at the last session of the legislature is still another method of raising the neces­ sary state revenue. While I do not recommend any of these plans specifically, I do recom­ mend the separation of state and local taxes and ask your honorable body to carefully examine all the method* above suggested and such others as may occur to you, and I hope that by some of these methods or a combina­ tion of them, the legislature can find some way of raising the necessary rev­ enue so that a separation of state and local taxes may be brought about.

The pretty Klrl Io the trayelllng taleter peered through the aperture Io the thick oaken door which served also as a window. The room was a tiny one deep down in the bow of the liner, and almost completely dark. ■ Can you tell me where the ship's prison Is?" she asked, and, seeing the expression of surprise upon tho face of the man within, she added hastily: “The captain told us that there's a poor man in there who is being taken back to America to be tried. And I thought that as tomorrow Is New Sear's day he might like—Oh, I beg your pardon!” There was no mistaking her con­ tusion. As her eyes became ac­ customed to obscurity she could see that the man's leg was fastendH by a long chain to a huge ball of iron. “I am the prisoner,” he answered Quietly. "And I thank you with all toy heart for the—money?” *1 am so sorry,” she answered, re­ cognizing that the voice was that of ■ gentleman. Even the thanks had been at once an acknowledgment and a refusal. She slipped the purse back Into her bag again. "Forgive me,” ahe aaid in humiliation.

It does not matter how I came to be pledged to him. If I had broken my troth friends would have been ruined—friends to whom I owe everything. It was my tusk to sacri­ fice myself.

You ought to know tho worst of me because I do not want to die while you believe in me." "I wish to know nothing,” she an­ swered. "Not even my name?” "No. What does It matter who we are or what we have done? We are only actors, playing our parts. Some have a good part and win applause, while others are execrated. What does It matter?" "If I had known you before, I might have played a different part," he sold. The night wore on; only the gradual tilting of the deck told them that the end was inevitable. Side by side they crouched for warmth against tho bit­ ing wind. The prisoner had lashed two chairs together. At the last mo­ ment they were to tie themselves to these and leap into the sea. Her hand stole into his and his fin­ gers clasped IL A fierce longing to live surged into his soul. In that Im­ minent danger their hearts were re­ vealed, each to each. "The ship may last till dawn.” he said. "If we are saved, will you come with me to some far off country and let us redeem our lives together?” He felt her answering clasp, and, turning toward her, be took her in his arms and kissed her. And when he felt her lips on his he knew that they would not be denied that chance they •ought, to live their lives anew.

Destraction of Property Cause of Schools' Being Refused HalL. .Stu* deals Claim Others Accountable. Disappointment is shown in the faces and talk of the student body of the high school in Its failure to se­ cure the city hall this winter to be used by the schools as in previous years. Heretofore the council has always granted to the schools the privilege of using the second story of the city hall for basket ball and other Indoor sports. .Some time during the last year window lights, chairs, tables and voting booths were broken, and the payment of a light bill neglected. When the hall was given to the school It was with the understanding that at any time it was occupied by students, there should also be a teacher who should have charge of the room and the children. As many articles were broken, it Is fair to suppose that this agreement was not fully complied with and that at some time students were allowed in the building without the supervision of a teacher. All members of the council believe that the using of the city hall by the school for athletic purposes is an advantage to the school children and the public, but as it has been used makes an expensive agreement to the city. The council has not refused the student body admittance but have asked that the school board or some reliable person furnish bonds large enough to cover the expense of re­ pairs in case the school does not fur­ nish money for the depreciation on the building and furniture. The students of the school claim that they are not responsible for all the breakage received but that at public dances held In the city hall window lights and chairs were broken and placed In the stairway, also that chairs belonging to or rented by the school were broken. Unless a settle­ ment can be reached, lovers of basket ball will not be furnished with this fast game and the growing interest In basket ball will die, and the game In Hastings will soon be forgotten.

FARMERS INSTITUTES 11 BARRY COUNTY CAPTURED AT MARSHALL Abe Keyser, Charged With Larceny, Arrested Saturday By Under­ Sheriff Llrhty. Abe Keyser, who last spring was employed as night clerk at the Barry Hotel, and who it is alleged on March 24th last stole silver and currency to the value of $9.00, cigars of the value of $10, a suitcase belonging to Iron­ side Bros, valued at $10 and a mando­ lin valued at $18, whs arrested at Marshall Saturday by Under-Sheriff Lichty ‘and brought to this city Sun­ day. Monday he was taken before Jus­ tice Bishop, before whom the com­ plaint was made by Miss Jessie Shull, and the examination was set for Saturday of this week. Keyser’s wife was also employed at the hote.l, as one of the waiters. The disappearance of the articles and cash was discovered the morning af­ ter the disappearance of the couple, who undoubtedly took the midnight train out of town. WHY NOT HAVE ALL GOOD ROMS’ MAKE A MAP OF PROPOSED ROADS AND GIVE ESTIMATED COST. Every Taxpayer Would Thea Know Exactly What It Would Cost Him. It’s a dead open and shat that good roads in Barry county would be a mighty good thing for the farmers as well as those who live in the city and villages, but the question upper­ most in the minds of all Is the cost Some claim that if we built good roads the excessive taxation would ruin many farmers. Others claim that the taxes would be only a trifle higher and after we got the roads paid for the taxes would be lower. It seems to the writer that there Is a way of presenting the matter to the people just as it will be If we should adopt a system of making good roads In the county. We believe a commit­ tee of enterprising men could be found who would donate their ser­ vices in assisting to make a tenta­ tive map of Barry county showing where the first good roads should be built. We further believe that the services of a competent man, to go over the line of the proposed roads, examine the lay of the land, the gravel pits, etc., and make an esti­ mate of the cost to the people and put bls figures down in black and white, could be secured and that the expenses of this man could be raised by subscription, each interested to give a little, if not more than 50 cents. Having the proposed roads, and. their expense, it would be a very easy matter to figure out the cost to each individual. There would be no guess work about the matter then. We wouldn't have to go to some other county and tell what it cost them, we would positively know what it would cost us. Let someone interested take the matter up. The First Week of Parcel Post.

The first day many cities, both large and small, sold their entire supply of stamps. In Chicago the first day’s business amounted to $4,700’, and the number of packages sent out 47,559. At this rate using the amount of business done by Chicago as a standard, the total amount of business done in a day throughout the United States would amount to more than two million packages. Using as a stand­ ard the amount of business done in Hastings on the first day the total amount of business done in United States to be 960,090 packages u day. During the first week 278 packages were received to be delivered from this post office and 222 packages were received to be sent to other cities. Merchants throughout the country’ are ;aklng advantage of the new sys­ tem and will compete with the mail­ order houses. The cost of sending merchandise th rough the mails is ex­ ceedingly low.

The week ahead, unless he secured employment, would start with an empty pocket­ book and no credit. The situation was a desperate one. Still. John smiled. It was a habit with him, and no gloom' or disap­ pointment could change it or daunt him. A natural-born optimist, ener­ getic, ambitious, clean cut in his char­ acter and habits, be had come from a little country village two months pre­ vious, full of enthusiasm and hope. As he reviewed tho sixty days in question just now. he was forced to confess that they had brought neither comfort nor encouragement. At bls native town his exceptional good na­ ture and accommodating ways bad made him a favorite with everybody. The result was that he was popular, and, as a clerk, a success—but that was among people unspoiled by the rush and pitiless selfishness of the great city. "Wish I’d stayed at home now," be soliloquized, as he walked thought­ fully down tho street. “Two weeks’ work out of two months won’t do at all. I hate to go back and confess myself beaten, though.” It was the unfriendly ways of city folks that hit John the hardest. When he first arrived he kept on his old cheery smile. He recalled where he had picked up an umbrella for a lady, smiled back at her indifferent "Thank you," and had received an icy stare for the “familiarity," as she deemed it. not being brought up In the atmosphere of untarnished souls. Then, again, there was the man who nearly hired him. An owl-faced, dis­ mal-spirited tyrant, he had sat down I WR Almost Mechanically, John Read tho Sign. promptly on what he considered the “freshness” of a hired clerk, whan John smiled his joy at the prospect Of steady work. Every succeeding day John had felt more and more friendless. People were auspicious If he got confidential, and edged away from him If he acted pleasant He found the city world a hard, practical treadmill. One morning, his worst morning yet, for he had lived up what he had earned three weeks previous, John was passing a large establishment given over to the manufacture of an improved carpet sweeper. In its of flee windows was a large advertising picture. It showed the delight of one of their clients in using their device. A neat, pretty-faced girl was running the machine in the picture and looking up, her face all abeam with smiles. Her eyes seemed to follow John as he kept looking back. Bo pleasing was the impression, that morning after morning he would go out of his way to come under the cheery, encouraging influence of that fascinating face. "Well. I guess I'll have a smile at that girl of mine this morning, Just to see if it won’t bring me some luck.” joked John. “Hello!” He said this coming to a dead stop as he reached the store where the picture hung. It was not in its ac­ customed place—but another face was, a far prettier one, a face of real flesh and blood. A girl, neat and bright as a new gold coin, bad swung aside the pasteboara sign, and was bent close to the great plate glass window pasting a written sign upon It. She chanced to look up. She must have been both kind-hearted and a reader of human nature. The startled yet wistful ex­ pression of the face of John amused, interested her. She smiled at him In a pleasant, friendly way. It was like a benlson to his thirsty, longing soul. Then the girl disappeared, and then almost mechanically John read the sign: “Solicitors wanted—liberal commission.” ”1 never peddled anything,” said John to blmself. “Not because I wouldn’t, but because I fancied I couldn't Perhaps—” A sudden resolution braced him up. He entered the place. At a telephone desk bearing the sign "Information,” he stated his mission. "See Miss Dennison about that." said the youth at the desk; "that’s her at the first office. She has charge of the solicitors.” John removed his hat and entered the little office, to face the young lady he had seen putting up the sign. Again she smiled, again John felt his heart warm up. "I saw the sign," he said, a trifle awkwardly, swinging his hand towards it ”1 know you did." replied the young lady. “You are a prompt caller." "I have to be, you see,” smiled back John, "seeing that I have no work. Tell you, miss, I don’t know whether I will do or not but I’m desperately ready to try." "And not get discouraged, if at first you don’t succeed?" challenged Miss Dennison playfully. "Keep *on smiling under all circumstances?” "I always do that," declared John. Miss Dennison became all business at once. She explained their system of canvassing in detail. John listened attentively, then thoughtfully. Then he said: “You couldn’t let me have one of those smiling pictures with the sam| pie, could you? 1 have an idea, you see.” "That’s good. Originality pays," responded the girl. "You shall have one. certainly.” John Bartley’s idea was based on a system of smiles. He took his sam­ ple and the pasteboard advertisement under his arm and left the store, the memory of the encouraging treatment of Miss Dennison buoying him up considerably. Ho struck out for the suburb*. There seemed to be % different class of people among the trees and the flowers and the lawns. At the first house at which John stopped Its mis­ tress was seated on the porch. John began diffident, be wound up eloqaent. First he showed the pic­ ture. He declared that smiles meant health, wealth and happiness. He claimed that any one using bls carpet sweeper could not help but become satisfied, well nigh gay over the eco­ nomic, sanitary and labor-saving features It represented. He sold one sweeper. The purchaser gave him tho address of a sister. The sister sent him to a neighbor, the latter to a cousin, the cousin to a friend. By nightfall eight sweepers were sold— all on smiles. "Fifty cents commis­ sion on each; four dollars. Hurrah!” John was all smiles as dusty, warm, but luxuriously tired, he persuaded his landlady that on Saturday night he could pay up. Every morning John reported to Miss Dennison, every morning that encouraging smile of hen armed him for a day of striving and victory. He learned that her name was Mar bel. He discovered that she lived with an Invalid mother. With his first new suit of clothes, proudly earned, he was prouder still to be Invited to call at her home. At the end of six months John was in charge of the solicitors and had money saved at bank. A year later he heard of a pretty suburban cot* tage at a bargain, and wondered to Mabel It he could get anybody to help him live In It There was a wedding so full of happy smiles that everybody had the best time of their lives, and the first picture to decorate the walls of the new home was the smiling adver­ tisement that had brought cheer to loyal, earnest John Bartly at the dark­ est crisis in his business career.

Peter De Wlnt, the English land* scape painter, was accustomed each year to have a semi-private show of his pictures before sending them to tho Water Color Society’s exhibition. On such occasions bls friends fro* quently bought pictures, which, of course, appeared at the public exhi­ bition marked ’’Bold.*’ Among the painter's friends was a wealthy man who wanted to appear a patron of art and at the same time keep his money. He managed this by loudly admiring the paintings already ■old. He was always a bit too late to buy the pictures that pleased him most, and haring seen them, as he was wont to declare, be could never content himself with less beautiful works. De Wlnt at last suspected the man’s sincerity and when the next show-day came round, he concluded to test him. After plenty of time had been allowed for De Wint’s friends to make their purchases, the rich man arrived. As usual, his eye soon fell on two "per­ fect gems" marked “Sold.” Turning to the artist, he said, “Now, De Wlnt, those are exactly the things I should like to possess; what a pity they are not to be had.” "My dear sir,” said the painter, slap­ ping him on the back, "I knew yon would like them, so I put the tickets on to keep them for you." The awkwardness of the situation was only relieved when the enthusias­ tic admirer became the somewhat un­ willing purchaser of the two "gema. —Youth’s Companion. Ill Timed.

The legislative committee of the state federation of teachers’ clubs will endeavor to secure the passage of a bill providing tor retirement salaries for teachers. Their reasons are briefly set forth in the following summary ; 1. Colleges and universities, and many cities, such as New York, Al­ bany, Buffalo, Rochester, Elmira, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, San Francisco and other cities, and the states of Massachu­ setts, 'Rhode Island, Utah, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, and Wisconsin have deemed it advisable for the benefit of the public schools, and consequently, Pboiie 162for the Interest of the state, to pro­ vide retirement salaries for teachers. 2. A retirement fund for teachers will attract and-.retaln In the service OVCR 63 YC/u.. a superior class of talent, and will tf EXPERIENCE make better schools by withdrawing from the class-rooms those who have outgrown efficient service. 3.

MUNN & Co New FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS- RAGE NINE 6. The state spends yearly a large sum of money for the training of its teachers, who. on the average, remain in the work but a comparatively short period, leaving the work for more remunerative and more permanent linos of employment. 7. Other states take from our normal schools the ablest and strong­ est of their graduates, because they offer them a more secure and promis­ ing future than docs our state. 8. Eighteen railroad companies and more than seventy industrial con­ cerns, such as the Metropolitan Trac­ tion Company of New York, many subsidiary companies of tho United States Steel Corporation, the Stand­ ard Oil Company, the International Harvester Company of Chicago. Bell Telephone Company, etc., have adopt­ ed a pension system primarily for the benefit of the company. The fund of such a system is generally supported solely from the earnings of the com­ pany. A system, which has been tried out and so successfully conduct­ ed by large business corporations as bus the pension system, must be one of self-interest and economic value to the corporation. It follows that a re­ tirement fund for teachers also in­ volves a business proposition. It Is obviously a matter of self-interest and economic value to the state quite as much as it Is to private corpora­ tions, Inasmuch as it tends to attract and retain teachers of ability; and must be cheaper and productice of better results to employ active, capa­ ble Instructors than it is to retain in the service those who, through age or disability, are incapacitated for work; but who, under present condi- , tlons, after years of efficient service, must continue to serve for self-sup­ port For the above reasons a retirement salary for Michigan teachers has been approved by the State Superintend­ ents’ Association, by the State Fed­ eration of Teachers’ Clubs, by the State Teachers’ Association, by the State Federation of Women’s Clubs, by many of the leading schoolmen of the state and by many members of the 1913 legislature.

"Pikes Peak,” nineteen persons out of twenty will answer, and Incorrectly. The ' twentieth may know that the two highest mountains in the state are Mount Massive and Mount Elbert, both In Lake county. In the Leadville district. The altitude of each of these mountains, according to the United States Geological Sur­ vey, is 14,402 feet above sea level. The height of Pikes Peak is 14,108 feet. Moreover, there are fifty or sixty other peaks In Colorado ap­ proximately as high—over 14.00 feet. The lowest point in Colorado is 3,350 feet above sea level. Of all the states Colorado Ims the highest average al­ titude, estimated by the geological survey at 6,800 feet. Although not tho highest mountain. Pikes Peak is probably the bestknown peak in the United States. There was at one time a weather bureau station on Its summit, and it now has a substantial railway station at tho terminus of the highest rail­ way line in North America. It can also be reached by an excellent wagon road and trail which connect the sum­ mit with Colorado Springs. Progressive Teachers’ Meeting.

So we wish you to understand why this name wns given. The word as it is, stands for brim and flour. The combination is exactly as the bread is made—from bran and flour. It has all the hfe supporting qualities of a bread made from flour and in addition the qualities of bran as a tonic. Bran is used alone as a tonic and if good as a tonic why not better with other life sustaining qualities. Remember that Bra-lonr bread is made from bran and flour. If you haven’t tried it you should.

The majority of the farms are rented for 81 years, and the average farm Is from 100 to >00 acres, with 25 to 30 milch cows, 5 work horses and about 60 sheep. The principal crqps grown are clover, timothy and rye-grass hay, oats, barley, wheat, yellow and Swede turnips. Practically all the first-cut hoy Is sold off the farm, only the sec­ ond cut being kept for the horses and stock. The barley straw Is used prin­ cipally for tho packing houses of pot­ teries and foundries. On some farms 80 to 40 acres of potatoes are raised. In which case the cows get large quantities of small potatoes. The wheat straw Is all sold for bedding for town and private stables. Two or three acres of clover are grown handy to tho barn for summer feed when pastures begin to brown. There are generally three pastures for the milk­ ers. so this gives a constant change and prevents grass being too closely eaten. They are generally changed every four or five days in pastures. I will give a rough sketch of the barns to make my letter a little plainer. Markets for dairy cattle are very plentiful In the west of Scotland, and the average farmer goes to market every week or buys his cows from his dealer. About 90 per cent, of all the best dairies keep Ayrshire cows, the remaining 10 per cenL being Shorthorns. When the farmer goes The barns are all stone or brick built, with no hay loft above the cows, and are built to last 100 years or more with very few repairs. Tho milk In­ spectors are now very strict, and any old unsanitary barns are quickly con­ demned. In an up-to-date barn, such as I have shown, one good man can do all the work for 32 cows, and as­ sistance is given with milking. All the floors and gutters are of concrete, and the walls are cemented half way up. The divisions between the cows are of concrete. All cows are chain tied in pairs, and each cow has a fire­ clay glazed trough with round corners and rounded bottom so that they are easily cleaned. Four of the double stalls are made shorter than the rest for heifers or small cows. The cows are tied up from about October 15 to the end of April. They are all turned out every Jay (except Sunday) for exercise into the exercis­ ing yard, which, is stone laid and well sheltered, being surrounded on all sides by buildings. In the center is a rubbing post, and a large trough with rock salt is provided. In one corner a water trough Is set, and when tho cattle are put In the barn this trough is emptied to prevent freezing. Sec­ ond-crop hay is stored in the sheds, and also very large quantities of oat straw. As the oat straw leaves the threshing mill it is tied with an au­ tomatic trusser with two strings. Each truss will weigh from 25 to 30 pounds, and la easily handled several times with no waste from loose straws; 75 to 80 tons of this trussed MiltY WK1 Plan of a Scotch Dairy Barn—A, Entrance to Bam; B, Door Into ExerclaIng Yard; C C C, Doors into Hay Barns; ODD, Loose Boxes; E, Grain Boxes; F, Hot-water Boilers; G, Box for Brewers' Grains; H, Coal Box; I I, Turnip House; K, Tank <or Hot Food; L, Hay Carrier. to buy his cow he baa nothing In his mind's eye but a true milking type. straw is often stored in these sheds Ho does not nek, "How much will I at the beginning of winter.

NEW MACHINERY GRADE POTATOES FOR FARM WORK WHEN MARKETING Rule Applies With Equal Force to Large and Small Growers. • Quality Is First Consideration In Purchasing Imple• ments. Sylvester was limping slightly as he approached the breakfast table, but Mrs. Sylvester, having troubles of her own, did not comment upon it. "I believe 1 must have a touch of rheumatism," she remarked, lifting tho coffee pot wearily. "Whatever that may be!" respond­ ed her husband scornfully. "The truth of the matter probably is that you got all tired out running up and down stairs when you were cleaning the attic yesterday." “Oh, it certainly can't be that," she replied, “because you know, the doc­ tors say ndw that running up and down stairs is the very* best kind of exercise." "The doctors!" he scoffed, trying as he- spoke to find a comfortable posi­ tion for his left leg. "If we are go­ ing to do all the fool things the doc­ tors advise, or refrain from doing ail the desirable things they forbid, wo shall have a delightful time of it! "It grieves me to think," he contin­ ued, "how many good things I’ve misfe­ ed because the doctors forbade them, only to be told a little later that it didn't make any difference, after al). I shall never cease to regret the rich red beefsteaks 1 didn’t eat during a period when I fond.y trusted in the assertion of the doctors that red meat caused rheumatism.” "They've found out now that it's strawberries,” said Mrs. Sylvester. "I was reading an article yesterday, by a doctor—" "No doubt you were," interrupted her busband. "It's just the time of the year that the medical fraternity would choose for the publication of an article denouncing strawberries— right in the season when they are the most tempting. Why, 1 had a dish for luncheon yesterday that made life seem worth living again. So the doc­ tors have combined to deprive us of the solace of eating fresh strawber­ ries, have they? Well, they can't work it on me this time! I'm a pa­ tient creature, but my patience has Its limits. Not till I’ve forgotten the Jong dreary winter, during which I abstained from eating raw oysters for fear of typhoid, only to read In the first month of the year without an R. an article by some noted medical man asserting that the percentage of ty­ phoid duo to oysters is so small as to be negligible." “It's best to be on tho safe side," said Mrs. Sylvester. "The safe side, indeed!” he exclaim­ ed. "Oh, certainly! You got a great deal of comfort out of being on the safe side when you used to arrange all the grape seeds so carefully along the edge of your plate. If you swal­ lowed a single one by mistake you worried for weeks in fear of an at­ tack of appendicitis! I don’t notice you troubling much about grape seeds in late years. And why? Simply be­ cause your feminine credulity has been satisfied by the assertion of some doctor that grape seeds are not the cause of appendicitis, after all!" Mrs. Sylvester began to look alarmed. “We have been exhorted to wear flannels and not to wear flannels," he wont on. "Wo'vu«been admon'shed to drink water during meals, after having been solemnly warned never to do so.” "They do seem to change their minds pretty often," admitted Mrs. Sylvester. Sylvester continued oratorlcally: "Each succeeding generation of doc­ tors since the days of Aesculapius, or whatever his name was, has pro­ nounced false the opinions of the pre­ ceding generation." j Ills wife looked thoroughly fright­ ened. "It’s perfectly dreadful!" she exclaimed. "I really never thought about It before.” "Ah-oo!" groaned Sylvester, who had so far forgotten himself as to draw back his left leg quickly. "What Is it, Henry?" asked his wife anxiously. "Oh, I don't know what on earth we should do if you were to get sick, with tho doctors all disagreeing and changing their minds every few minutes!" “Nothing's the matter with me,” he replied. "I was about to say, how­ ever, that, of course, the doctors are bound to hit It once In a while, and {here may be something, after all. In that Idea that strawberries cause rheumatism. I've been having a Httlo pain In my left foot for a day or two, and as I've been eating straw­ berries every day for Luncheon, I don't know but It might be a good thing to stop in on my way to the train and ask the doctor what ho thinks about it" “Do!" exclaimed Mrs. Sylvester, so Interested that her own aches were forgotten. "It's bo much more com­ fortable to be sure." (By R. Q. WEATHERSTONE.) It pays to grads potatoes when ship, ping to market. Potato growers have recognised this in potato growing dis­ tricts. This rule applies with equal force to the small grower. Where a considerable number of bushels are to be marketed, It will pay to use a grader or sorter. In marketing, sacks used should be of even size, holding from a bushel to a bushel*and a half. This is a con­ venient size, easy t > handle by ship­ per and seller. They can be sold at so much per sack, bushel or pounds. Buy­ ers will usually pay just a little more when potatoes ere put up in this man­ ner. especially if clean and properly graded. One of the reasons that so many farmers fail to see the profits In their potato crop Is that there are so many crops to look after that lhe potatoes biYcomo a secondary consideration. If you are going to buy a new ma­ chine for the farm don't take the deal­ er’s word for all of it. Go around among the neighbors and find out the kind of a machine beat adapted to your needs, examine It thoroughly so that you will understand every part of It before you approach the dealer and then stick to your convictions. Never buy a "cheap" machine. Quality Is the first thing to be con­ sidered because It Is a frightful wasto of money to put It Into poorly built machinery which has to stand the heavy wear and tear of farm work. We have found It always pays to buy machines of standard make and manufactured by a firm that always keeps extra parts for repairs. Buying an odd machine sometimes causes ex­ pensive delay because the parts are not interchangeable or cannot be had moment of emergency. Last Omnibus In Paris.

J. HANNA PUBLIC SMI ITEMS HER MODEST OPINION By JAMES JOLLY. The youngest pupil in the dancing class pirouetted a few times In front of the visitor, who rewarded her ef­ forts with a beaming smile. Thus en­ couraged. the younger pupil climbed up on the chair beside the visitor and folded her plump hands In her white muslin lap. "Don't you think I dance very nice­ ly?" she Inquired, after a moment's silence. "Last year I came six, four, two, eleven times, but this year I come all tho time." "How very nice,” said the visitor enthusiastically. "And how do you like it?” The youngest member’s eyes danc­ ed. "Oh. I love it, very much.” she confided, "and I can dance very well now.” Her face clouded slightly. "Bob won't dunce with me, though. He doesn't like to.” “That's very strange.” said the visitor. "I wonder why?” "I don’t know,” replied the young­ est pupil, shaking her head. "He says I haven’t been coming long enough. He says next year he’ll dance with me if I want him to." "That’s something to look forward to, anyway." said the visitor encour­ agingly. “Which one Is Bob?" The youngest pupil waved a hand In the direction of the group ot hoys, who were going through some exer­ cises that were prescribed by the rules of no dancing school. “He’s that one that’s fighting with Horace," she said calmly. "Horace, he won’t dance with me, either. He Bays I'm too little.” “Well, time will cure that," said the visitor sympathetically. "Next year 1*11 be a big girl,” the smallest pupil went on to explain. “I’m five now and next year I’ll be twelve.” “Indeed!” said the visitor, some­ what startled at this rapid flight ot time. “And then I suppose you’ll be as old as Bob and Horace.” “I’ll be older,” announced the small girl, “four, ten years older." She patted down her abbreviated ruf­ fled skirts carefully and ran her little red tongue over her lips. She glanc­ ed at the visitor out of the corner of her eye. “I can sing, too,” she said. The visitor’s face was filled with wonder, eager anticipation and with suppressed excitement. *1 know some pretty, pretty songs,” went on the youngest pupil, “and I sing them very, very nicely.” She bobbed her head up and down violent­ ly two or three times In keen appre­ ciation of her own accomplishments. "I would sing you one,” she said, "but the dancing lady won’t let me sing here. I did sing once and she said It was very nice, but she thought I better wait and sing when I got home. So now I wait.” “That’a very discreet of you. but It seems to mo the dancing lady didn’t nhow much appreciation of your vocal accomplishments.” • The songstress weighed this in her mind. “No,” she replied, after a moment 'But then I think maybe she hasn’t got any. She’s a very nice lady,” she concluded. For some reason the visitor cough­ ed behind her handkerchief. “I don’t doubt it,” she agreed when she had slightly recovered from her cough. “It may be that she just lacks the artistic temperament. Some people are very materialistic, you know.” "Yes, I know," agreed the youngest pupil courteously. The two companions sat watching the children dance for a few minutes. “How nicely the little girls dance." aa!d the visitor presently. "Which one do you think dances the best?” The youngest pupil pondered si­ lently. her head cocked on one side like a contemplative robin. “I know," she said after a while, "but I guess I’d better not tell.” "Why not?" queried the visitor. “If you'll tell me, then I’ll tell you which one I think is the best dancer.” “I guess I better not," reaffirmed the small pupil. "But I’ll tell you how she’s drcEsed.” "Do,” urged the visitor. “She’s got on a white dress,” said the mite, smoothing down her dainty little frock tenderly, “and white shoes"—she held up first one foot and then the other and looked at them admiringly—"and pink ribbons on her hair." She gave her head a quick little turn and was rewarded by the vanishing view of the end of a big. pink bow. “But I guess I’d better not tell you her name.” “I* wish you would tell me.” begged tho visitor. "I won’t (tell a soul.” “I guess I’d better not," reiterated the small pupil. She slipped down off her chair. “Now I guess I’ll go ask Frank to dance with me. Some­ times, you know, ho will.” “I’m awfully sorry to have you go,” said tho visitor, “but I hope Frank will dance with you and that you’ll have a nice time.” “I think maybe bo will,” said the smallest pupil hopefully. “Most of the girls don’t like to dance with him, so sometimes he dances with me.” She stood looking around the hall for a moment. Then she turned impul­ sively and threw her arms around the visitor’s neck. “I’ll tell you who I think Is the best dancer,” she whispered. "Me.” That 8ea-Sick Feeling.

Interesting Account of 1’ontlac’s Con­ spiracy, Followed by Debate, Was Program For the Day. The eighth regular meeting of the Hastings Women’s Club was called to order by the president on Friday af­ ternoon last in the parlors of the Manufacturer's club. Twenty-three active, eight associate members and ten guests were present. The librarian called attention to the fact that the club owned a num­ ber of duplicate books and some novels that had served their purpose; she suggested that these books be sorted and sent for use in the rest room and Jail; the matter was left to be arranged by the library commit­ tee. The chairman of the educational committee brought up the bill for a “teachers' _retirement and salary fund.” The main points were ex­ plained by Miss Clara Allison, and af­ ter some discussion the club voted to endorse the bill. Already this bill which is soon to come before the legislature has been endorsed by the Michigan State Federation of Wo­ men’s Clubs and by many clubs through the state. After a short recess the afternoon's program was in charge of Mrs. Mil­ ton Brown, hostess. Roll call was answered by the name of a Michigan artist. Mrs. Mae Young In giving the history lesson told of the mis­ management of this territory under the rule of the French and of their failure to develop the agricultural and other resources of the country: during the one hundred years of their control only three forts were estab­ lished. By reason of the easy going ways of the French ttyey had become friends ol the Indians, and when in 1760 the practical, methodical, brusque mannered English took pos­ session, the time was short until the Indians were thoroughly antagon­ ized end feeling became so hostile as to result in Pontiac’s conspiracy. Pontiac was an Ottawa chief, the foremost Indian of his day. He was an effective speaker, a bold and crafty warrior, a thoughtful and far-seeing general, able to originate and man­ age complicated plans. Pontiac 'planned ".hat all the English posts, twelve In numbeY, west of the Alle­ ghany mountains should be attacked at the same time and thus, at a single stroke, the Indians would be rid of a people whom they hated and looked upon as Intruders. Pontiac led the attack upon the fort at Detroit where Major Gladwyn was In charge. On the seventh of May, accompanied by sixty apparently unarmed warriors, he gained admittance to the fort for an interview; the Indians had to cut off their rifles so that they were con­ cealed under their blankets and the plan was that at a certain point in Pontiac's speech the officers were to be struck down and the massacre continued by the savages in waiting outside. Happily however the plot was known and Pontiac found the garrison so prepared that he cut his speech short and retired. There is a romantic story to the effect that the warning to Major Gladwyn came through a beautiful Ojlbwa girl who loved, him, and while bringing him a pa..- of beaded moccasins the day be­ fore the attack, revealed Pontiac's treachery! Two days later, on May the ninth, another attempt was made to gain admission to the fort and upon prompt refusal of thedr request the Indians set up the war-hoop, mur­ dered several defenseless English persons who were outside of the stockade and began the attack upon the fort. The siege lasted until late October when scarcity of food in the Indians’ camp forced ‘hem to go on their annual hunt. During this time the only battle fought outside the stockade was that of Bloody ..«n, in which seventy English were killed and forty wounded. Many historians feel that Major Glndwyn has not re­ ceived his full measure of praise for the efficient manner in which he held the fort at Detroit during the six months’ siege. His name stands out among those who fixed for a’l time the sovereignty of the white race in the lake region and the only honor accorded him in the geography of our state is the county named Gladwin. In the summer of 1764 General Bradstreet arrived with three thou­ sand soldiers; the Indians seeing that nothing could be done against so formidable a foe, laid down their arms, bringing the war to a close. Pontiac had succeeded in capturing eight out of twelve forts but in his plan to do away completely with the white men he had utterly failed. In 1769 he was killed in a drunken quarrel with some Indians near St. Louis. “Resolved, that our Grandmothers lived more useful lives than the wo­ men of today” was the subject of a debate in which Mrs. Harry Stowell and Alias Gertrude Smith talked for the affirmative, Mrs. B. Geschwind and Mrs. Herbert Brown for the negative. The affirmative brought out the sim­ plicity of the homes and lives of our grandmothers, their attention to the children who were fed wholesome food, taught obedience to parents, per­ sonal responsibility and were pre­ pared for every- phase of homemak­ ing. Absence of a multiplicity of in­ terests, class distinction, rapidlychanging fashions, clubs, automobiles and the woman's suffrage movement made for calmer nerves, truer friend­ ship and mutual kindliness. The negative side showed the wonderful men .al progress and development of women during the last fifty years and asserted that our grandmothers lived only for themselves while now wo­ men work for the betterment of the race, demanding attention to public health, civic improvement, study of method in housekeeping and market­ ing, and the establishment of libra­ ries and art galleries. Maud Balling­ ton Booth, one woman in one line of work, was named as an example of the usefulness of present day woman­ hood. Mrs. J. C. Lampman, Mrs. Charles Lunn and Mrs. Rose Colgrove, acting as judges, brought in a verdict of equal usefulness, stating that from the evidence produced by each side It seemed that, according to the advan­ tages of each period, the women in the one lived as useful lives as the women In the other; but from the number of points made the debate was decided In favor of the affirmative as repre­ sented by Mrs. Stowell and Miss Smith While the judges were reaching their decision Mrs. Isaac Patrick spoke of the difference between the English and American women and paid a tribute to the ways of our grandmothers. Mrs. Maud Young Clark, of Grand Rapids, a visitor at the club, spoke from her own knowl­ edge of conditions among the Turkish women and of the women’s club at Constantinople.

The board of supervisors of Gene­ see county, has voted to issue about $100,000 worth of bonds to secure money for building good roads in 1913. Thirty miles of road were com­ pleted in 1912, and it is planned to add 92 miles next year at a cost of $250,000. The county will eventually spend $500,000 for roads. The. action of the board in this instance was taken' in order that the fund might not be depleted. This is but a part of the money to be spent in 1913. P. T.

DAUGHTERS HAD PLEASANT MEETING EMILY VIRGINIA MASON CHAPTER ENTERTAINED MONDAY BY MRS. R. M. LAMBIE. Interesting Taper, “Old Time Physi­ cians anil Their Remedies” by Mrs. C. Messer. The Emily Virginia Mason Chap­ ter, Daughters of the American Revo­ lution, was entertained on Monday af­ ternoon, January 13th, by Mrs. Robert Lambie. Fourteen resident members were present and Mrs. G. A. Hoeltzel from Delton. Following the various reports given during the business meeting, Mrs. Chester Messer and Mrs. A. A. Anderson were elected delegates io the Continental Congress in Washington. * The program consiated of an in­ tensely interesting paper “Old Time Physicians and Their Remedies” given by Mrs. Chester Messer. The Colonial doctor was described as a carefully and becomingly dressed man whose position was high In the community and whom the school children honor­ ed with respectful bow and courtesy. He knew quite as much of cookery as he did of medicine, a fact which accounts for the combined cook book and medical works of the time. Physicians compounded all of their medicines and the most lax directions were given as to the dose. The most peculiar ingredients went into some of the remedies, gold and jewels were often ground to a powder and put in, sometimes metals were put into a linen jag and steeped with the herbs and spices; powdered seed pearls were used in making a cer­ tain eye water which was considered most effective. Various strange cures for sleeplessness were prescribed, among them plasters for the soles of the feet, for the back of the neck and bags of seen-. to be bound to the nos­ trils. “Water of Life" and “Precious Water," each made of numberless in­ gredients taking several days to com­ pound, were common remedies for a run down condition. The most meagre amounts were paid the doctor for his visits and the etiquette of the profession demanded the most constant attention on his patients, be they rich or poor; also ho was not to take more patients than he could conveniently look after nor was he to charge any fee at all in the case of poor people. Hospitals were very inadequate affairs and the care given contagious cases seems very strange to us in these enlightened days. Mrs. Messer's paper was thoroughly enjoy­ ed and much discussion followed. Delicious refreshments were served, Mrs. Jason McElwain and Mrs. Win. Stebbins presiding in the dining room. Edwin 0. Hyde. Edwin O. Hyde was bom In Deleware, Ohio, October 16, 1837, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James B. Mosher, of this city, January 7, 1913, aged 75 years, 3 months, 9 days. In 1858 he married Mlnda Hayes. To this union were born two eons, George B. Hyde and Arthur Hyde. His wife dying in 1862, in 1863 he married Lovlsa Wilcox. To this unoin was born ore daughter, Mrs. James B. Mosher. His second wife died December 16, 1910. He leaves to mourn his loss, two sons, George B. Hyde, of Winnipeg, Canada, Arthur Hyde, of Nashville, and one. daughter, Mrs. James B. Mosher, of this city, also two broth­ ers, Walter I’yde, of Canada, and Frank Hyde, o' Freeport, and eleven grand-children and four great-grand­ children. The funeral services were conduct­ ed from the home of James Mosher, north of this city. Saturday morning, Jan. 11, 1918; conducted by Rev. C. M. Duryea, of Lansing, and the re­ mains were taken to Joy cemetery for burial. Two Delightful Social Affairs. Two delightful social affairs of last week were given by Mrs. William Schader and Mrs. Sarah Powers. On Thursday afternoon forty ladles were entertained for cards and a buffet supper. The decorations in the liv­ ing rooms were in Christmas colors and the dining room was lighted with many candles making the tinsel used in decoration doubly attractive. Mrs. Lewis Heath and Mrs. William M. Stebbins served at the dining table and Mrs. A. H. Carveth poured coffee. The refreshments were entirely car­ ried out in the colors used in decora­ tion. On Friday afternoon at five o'clock a four course tea was served to about forty ladies. Small tables were used for this occasion and the guests were served by Madams L. J. Goodyear. Wilbur Lane, A. E. Mulholland, F. W. Stebbins, Clifford Michael and C. P. Lathrop. Mrs. Michael assisted in re­ ceiving both afternoons. The appoint­ ments for the Friday function were similar to those of the previous day. regulatedIyrailROAD COMMISSION ALL ELECTRIC COMPANIES COME UNDER JURISDICTION OF THIS STATE BOARD. On Complaint of Any City Affected Commission Can Investigate and Fix Minimum Rates. It may not be known to every one tlint the Thornapple Gas & Electric Company is under the jurisdiction of the state railroad commission and that its rates are subject to regulation by that body. Such is the fact however. Act No. 106 of the session laws of 1909 places all corporations or com­ panies engaged In generating, trans­ mitting and delivering electricity unthe general supervision of the railroad commission. The act requires maps of proposed lines or extensions to be drawn and filed with the commission and em­ powers the commission to inspect and examine all electrical apparatus streets or places, to investigate meth­ ods employed by electric companies, to order improvements deemed necessary to secure good service and the safety of the public. The commission js given power in its discretion to order electric current for distribution to be delivered at a suitable primary voltage to any city, village or township through which a transmission line or lines may pass; prescribe uniform methods of keeping accounts, etc. "It shall have power to require of such persons, firms or corporations annually a verified report upon such form and giving such information as will enable the commission to better discharge the duties imposed upon it thereby." In accordance with the last named power, Manager Heath Is now engaged In preparing elaborate reports to be filed wltlh the commission. The act further provides that upon complaint by any city, village or town­ ship, relative to the price of the elec­ tricity sold and delivered in such mu­ nicipality, the commission shall Inves• tlgate such complaint. Inspect the sys­ tem and methods used, and examine the books and papers of such persons, firm or corporation. After giving a hearing on the matter complained of the commission may by order fix th a maximum price of electricity to be charged by such corporation,, which shall continue to be the maximum price until changed by the commis­ sion.

The Old Officers Were Re-Elected and .Much Important Business Transacted. Once a year, the second week in January, the attention of the army of more than fifty thousand policy hold­ ers in the Michigan Mutual Tornado. Cyclone and Windstorm company is directed to Hastings, the home office of this great organization. Every year the company has shown a substantial increase in business and the year 1912 brings the total above the one hundred million mark. This phenomenal growth bespeaks the bus­ iness ability of its management and the fact that only a few over one hun­ dred of the policy holders attended the election Tuesday, indicates that the members are well satisfied and re­ pose great confidence in the officers. The election of a treasurer and five directors was held in the second story of the city hall, and resulted as fol­ lows: Treasurer—George E. Coleman, 115. Directors—Frank E. Andrews, W. F? Hicks, Frank Martin, H. C. Rogers, H. Clay McNitt, the votes cast for each running from 100 to 107.

Several Important Matters Acted Upon In Closing Days of Session. Having crowded a large amount of business into the closing days of the session the board of supervisors ad­ journed sine die yesterday afternoon. The question of placing all county offices on a salary basis was threshed over pretty fully and finally tabled. The fact that a bill has been intro­ duced in the legislature placing all county officers in the state on a salary basis had much to do in deciding this action. The board ordered the installation of a laundry at the poor farm. This course was prompted by the require­ ment of the state board of corrections and charities. A resolution, introduced by Super­ visor E. V. Smith, was adopted re­ questing the prosecuting attorney to ask the justices of the peace through­ out the county to abstain from issuing -warrants without his order, and sug­ gesting that no tramps be arrested un­ less for misdemeanors. The obvious purpose of this resolution is to save the county needless expense. The full proceedings of the board will bo published by the Journal-Her­ ald in a short time. Doyle. Richard Doyle, a former resident of Irving and Thornapple townships, died Sunday at the home of his son Claude in Detroit, aged 79 years. His burial took place at Middleville yester­ day. That Awful Hobo Scare. According to last week's Banner the hobo question is a terribly serious one in Barry county. The board of super­ visors tire represented as giving most of their time to a consideration of bow to rid the county of the awful nuisance and the jail os bulging out with a crowd of these peripatetic gentlemen. inquiry of Sheriff Williams by a Journal-Herald reporter who went to the county hostile expecting to see a hobo's head sticking out of every space between the bars, revealed the fact that very few hoboes have been entertained there thia winter, fewer in fact than usual.

BERT HILTON. Incidents of Trip from Snow of Mich­ igan to Orange and Grape Fruit Groves of Florida. Through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Saddler, we are permitted to take the following extracts from a let­ ter recently received from their daughter, Mrs. Bert Hilton, who with her husband, is in Kissimmee, Fla., for the winter. We are sure they will be of interest to many of our readers. Wo left Cincinnati at 1:30 and went soon in the hills of Kentucky. About fifty miles north of Louisville we ran through some very pretty country, fine farms and beautiful old homes. Farm­ ers wore plowing and the air was like a day in earlp June at home.. We arrived at Glasgow Junction about 7 p. m., where we slopped for a trip to Mammoth cave. It is about nine miles to the cave which we reached about 8:30 a. m. Our party entered the cave at nine o'clock and our guide *sald we traveled over six miles, and we left the cave at 1:30. It was the most beautiful and won­ derful sight I ever beheld. I had a boat ride on Echo river, 360 feet below the earth's surface. There were placts where the walls were so near the water we had to bend to keep from knocking our heads. Bert wouldn’t get into the boat, but sat on the bank till we came back, and as usual when he is alone, he began whistling. At first we couldn’t Imagine what ft was that sounded like bagpipes playing in the distance. For none of ns made the noise. It sounded almost uncanny until we came nearer shore and found it was Bert whistling. We arrived at Kissimmee about 9:30 p. m., and went to a hotel, glad to get to bed and rest. The timber in Flor­ ida is pine and they tap the trees for the pitch. The pitch is gathered much as our sugar sap is at home. About seventy miles south of Jack­ sonville are orange and_ grape fruit trees with fruit on, and further south near Sanford are large fields of C’dery, cabbage and other vegetables. We stopped at Sanford for supper. We have found a good many north­ ern people here. There is one grocery and one hotel owned by Michigan men. This is the growing season here. The fruits, gardens and flow­ ers are fine. There is no manufactur­ ing here with the exception of an ice plant, and business is pretty dull in this part of the country. One of the merchants told Bert they were carry­ ing a good many families until the tourists came. Last year Kissimmee could not accommodate all the tour­ ists and they boosted rents and board to the very limit. A good many think that is why there isn't much doing here this year as last. We were at Orlando last week and took lunch with C. W. Smith of Naatevllle. It was quite warm yesterday, 82 in the shade, and about the same today. Bert went fishing on Shingle creek yesterday and got a fine catch. The natives depend upon what they get out of the tourists and it is a game they play to the limit. The taxes are something fierce. We kick about our taxes at home, but if we had them as the people do here, we would (urn the town upside down. Brown Not First Sheriff. Bert Brown, first white child born in Barry county, son of George Brown, first sheriff of Barry county and a lieutenant in the Black Hawk war, died today at Boyne City, where he moved 'thirty years ago. He is sur­ vived by a widow, two sons and two daughters. The above item, clipped from the Kalamazoo Gazette, Is correct (per­ haps) in all but two particulars. Wil­ lard Hayes was the first sheriff of Bar­ ry county, and no one named Brown, was ever sheriff of Barry county. �"AGE TWO County News LEE SCHOOL AND VICINITY.

HASTINGS J0rilNAL.HER.lLn. THURSDAY JANUARY 16. 1918, OBJECT OF SUSPICION By OLIVE WENGLER, As Glllilly sat huddled on the top step leading to his house and felt the misty rain against his face he wish­ ed he had not been so everlastingly reserved. He wished he had been wont to mingle with his fellow men, especially since coming to the sub­ urbs a few weeks previous to live. These reflections were surging through his soul because Glllilly was locked out. In addition to this fact, it was after 12 o’clock, his wife was away on a visit, and he didn't kaow the people next door. Hfc couldn't go to a hotel, because there wasn't a hotel In the suburb. He couldn't take a train back to town, because the trains had stopped run­ ning by that time. It grew colder and colder. Glllilly felt that he must do some­ thing. So, tumbling down his steps, he strode across the wet lawn to the neighboring house, where he rang the bell. "Good evening," said Glllilly to the blue pajamas that Anally opened the door. 'Tm Mr. Glllilly, and I live next door. I’m locked out Would you mind lending mo all (he door keys you have? Perhaps one of them will lit my door." The blue pajamas laughed a cold, sarcastic laugh. “You have your nerve," he said. "Quite likely that I’m going to help you break into a neigh­ bor's house on any such yarn as that! I happen to know that the people next door are away visiting!” "I saw the trunks go!" floated tri­ umphantly down the stairs In fem­ inine tones. "Mrs. Glllilly went away, but I’m at home," explained Glllilly. The blue pajamas laughed again. "Good night,” be said. But Glllilly thrust bls foot into the crack of the door. "I don’t blame you,” he said, "but I'm telling you the truth. Here are let­ ters and cards—” "He may have murdered Mr. Glllilly and taken his papers to help along his story!" excitedly called the femlulne voice. "Don’t you believe him, George!" "I can’t hang around outdoors on a night like this!" protested Glllilly. "Come along with me and I'll prove to you that I kndw the house!" The blue pajamas wavered, then slipped on an overcoat and tramped across the lawn with Glllilly. In the porch behind them the owner of the feminine voice stood watchfully. •Tve got the hatchet, George, If he does'anything to you!" she called. The third key the neighbor tried turned In the lock of Glllllly’s front door, but the blue pajamas stopped him. "What wood," he demanded, "is In the dresser in the back bedroom on . your second floor. Glllilly is the most unobservant of men. If Mrs. Glllilly should paper the whole inside of the house with pur­ ple wall paper with yellow polka dots Glllilly would not be likely to notice It “I don't know!” he said. “There!” cried the blue pajamas, sternly. “I knew you were a fake!* Then, pocketing the key, he strode away Indignantly. "Wait a minute!" Glllilly begged. “If you won’t believe me and let mo into my own house, let me sleep in —your barn.” "Don’t do it George!" cautioned the voice from the front porch. "He’ll smoko or something and set the gaso­ line on Are. They always do.” "No go. old chap," said the blue pa­ jamas firmly. “All I’ve got >-o say to you is to beat it quick before the pa­ trol wagon gets here! I'm not going to permit Glllllly’s house to be robbed, even if he Is a stuck up dub!" Glllilly slunk away and passed the night In a secluded corner of the sub­ urban railroad station, whore only three-quarters of him got wet. At n«on the next day he walked into the office where he knew he should find the owner of the blue pajjamas "How do you do?” he said beaming­ ly to that nonplused person. "My name's Glllilly. I'm the stuck-up dub who lives next door to you. I think I owe you a lunch. Bpsides, I’d like to impress my countenance upon your memory by way of preparing for future emergencies!"—Chicago Dally News. Influence of the Cinematograph. A striking Illustration of the Influ­ ence of the ubiquitous cinematograph fs reported by the United States con­ sulate at Belgrade, Servla. American fashions have recently become very popular with the young men of that city, there is an unprecedent­ ed demand at the local shops for hats, boots, and other wearing apparel sim­ ilar to that in vogue in the United States; and the American style of hair cutting has come into favor. These innovations are unmistakably the result of the exhibition of moving pictures of American origin. The ob­ vious moral of all this, bb the consul points out, Is that the cinematograph might be used to great advantage in advertising all kinds of American products. For instarce, pictures of American agriculture, machinery In operation would probably create a great demand for the thing itself. This plan offers an economical substitute for the actual exhibition of American products in commercial museums and the like. Putting It Mildly.

FROM SCHOOLMASTER10 GOVERNOR short Biography of tlie Alan Who Has Attained the Highest Honor the Stale Can Bestow. and awkward manners excited the ridicule of the boys and girls. Whl’n attending this, school 1 had the good fortune to have ns a companion George Barker Stevens. He was about my age, less aggressive, less crude, but as 1 discovered later, the possessor of more brains than I ever dared claim. In English grammar I was particularly dull, so dull that the teacher, by way of encouragement called me a blockhead. George was quite as dull in algebra, and he like­ wise was called a blockhead. In arith­ metic and algebra I was strong, and so wo exchanged consolations. George consoled me in grammar, while I con­ soled him in algebra and arithmetic. “I do not recall that we even so much as dreamed of following any particular vocation when we should attain manhood. The nearest approach to this came when we bade each other goodbye on our last day at -the academy. “I said, 'George, what are you going to do?' He said, ‘I may teach after I got sufficient education.’ I made the same answer. George, like myself, fulfilled hla boyhood prediction. After several years had elapsed I learned that he had graduated from Cornell university, and from a theological seminary, and finally had been ap­ pointed to the Dwight chair of theol­ ogy at Yale." As an illustration of h!i troubles on account of his lack of advantages early in his life, Mr. Ferris tells this story: "I was 16 years old when I entered the Candor Union academy, eight miles from my home. During my at­ tendance at the academy I became ac­ quainted with Edward E. Snyder, four years my senior. One day Harry Den­ man, a refined boy from a cultured family, invited Edward to tea. Know­ ing that we lived together, he kindly Invited me. I declined. When Ed­ ward and I arrived at our room In ad­ vance of the tea, he said: " ’Ferris, you are going over to Harry’s, aren’t you?’ "I said, ‘No.’ “He eald, ‘.Why not?* “ ’My bringing up makes it Impos­ sible,' I replied. ‘I would fall utterly in my manners.’ He laughed, and I went Nover before nor since that hour have I had a more embarrassing experience. The napkins and Individ­ ual butter dishes were unknown to me. Furthermore, I was unaccustom­ ed to being helped. At home I helped myself." TanKbt School at 17. Mt. Ferris’ first school was a dis­ trict school at Fairfield, N. Y. He was 17 years old and had just passed a teacher’s examination. He persuad­ ed the officers to give him a trial at teaching by offering to teach a week, and in the event of his failure he would make no charge. He “boarded ’round," and for his services he re­ ceived 128 per month. He says he vis­ ited every home, assisted the weak and lazy, restrained the careless, and tried to inspire all the children. Mr. Ferris is now considered on effeotlve public speaker. His first ef­ forts. were most crude. He tells It himself. “It was while attending the Oswe­ go Normal that I felt the need of training along the line of public speaking. I had always been fascinat­ ed by the preacher, orator and actor. I had no reason to suppose that I possessed oven ordinary ability. Short­ ly after entering upon my regular coure I joined a dozen or more boys like myself and we organized the Adelphi society. I distinctly remem­ ber my (first effort at debate. I was confident that I would talk easily and fluently for '15 minutes. I lasted just one minute and a half. The others realized a like measure of success. We persisted In our efforts, and Anal­ ly admitted young ladies to our so­ ciety. "If I were to put a value upon my training in this debating society, as । compared to my training in rhetoric and writing, I should place the higher value upon the extemporaneous." Because of this experience Mr. Fer­ ris has become a firm believer in the debate, and there are several such societies connected with the institute at Big Rapids. When 20 years of age the future । governor of Michigan came west to enter the University of Michigan, where he remained from September until March, studying medicine. He took up this study, not because he wished to become a physician, but with a view of gaining knowledge that would aid him as a teacher. After leaving Ann Arbor he returned homo and became principal of the Free academy at Spencer, N. Y. It was while he was teaching In this insti­ tution that he was married to Miss Helen Frances Gillespie, whom he met at the Oswego Normal, and train- Woodbridge N. Ferris, who became governor of Michigan Jan. 1st has never previously held any political office. This is not due to shirking his duty as a citizen, or even to a lack of desire. He had been a can­ didate in his homo city on many oc­ casions, for alderman, for supervisor and for mayor. But always he was defeated. His defeats were not due to ex­ traordinary unpopularity. They were due rather to the fact that he was not popular enough to overcome a two-to-one opposition majority. Only ns late as two years ago he was de­ cisively defeated for mayor by an un­ dertaker, in spite of the fact that six years previously he had made a brilliant run for governor. In this mayoralty campaign other issues than partisanship contributed to his defeat Michigan's new gov­ ernor is a man of most positive ideas. When ho is convinced along a certain line nothing will daunt him. His whole life, since the establishment of the Ferris institute 28 years ago, has been devoted to its building up. When he came to Big Rapids he found the city, like other Michigan cities In this section, somewhat free and loose in Its morals and lax in the enforcement of the laws. Instinctively he felt that these conditions were not con­ ducive to the success of his cherished ambition, the building up" of a great achool. He set out to “clean up” the town, and soon succeeded in banish­ ing the disorderly houses. In trying to make the saloon a lawsblalng Institution he had a harder task. He often tells bow hard it was In those early days to secure a con­ viction before a Mecosta county jury for violations of the liquor law. Many times did he succeed in having a sa­ loonkeeper arrested for illegal liquor selling, but always in vain, no matter how plain the evidence. Hired Detective. The law was not enforced as strict­ ly as Mr. Ferris thought was neces­ sary for the protection of the young men and women who came here from all parts of the United States. He organized a system of espionage, and thus was able to say that Big Rapids had what he considered the most law­ abiding saloons in the state. That was several years ago. When his vigilance ceased, he thought there was a lapse into former conditions. Just before he became a candidate for mayor, 'he brought a private detective to Big Rapids who secured much evi­ dence of "bootlegging'’ and gambling devices running more or less openly. Calling the men involved into the prosecuting attorney’s office, he laid a part of his evidence before them, and told them that they must be good, or he would have every one of them arrested. Being good meant not only quitting illegal sales for the time anti putting the gambling machines In the cellar for a few days, but absolute compliance with the law, even to the extent of destroying all the slot ma­ chines. There was much demurring, and more cursing, but finally Ferris had his way. When election came there was another story, and Ferris had another defeat added to bis long list It was largely through Mr. Ferris’ personal work last spring that -Me­ costa cotjnjv voted for local option. Gov. Ferris' school is Big Rapids’ chief asset from an industrial stand­ point The school now has an aver­ age attendance of 1,200 students, and Is run for over ten months in the year.

Ho went to school when four years of age, and continued for eight years, with various inter­ ruptions. At 12 years of age he began to make his own way, working part of the time and going to school on his own account when he could. He early became ambitious to become a teacher. Speaking about his early ambition, Mr. Ferris said: "At the age of 14 I entered tbo Spencer Union academy, where I made npld progress. These were not happy days. My Ill-fitting clothes THURSDAY JANT1RY 16. 1913. ing school two years previously, and who was one of his class-mates dur­ ing his attendance at the normal school. The young woman came from a cultured family. Shirted Business College. Early in his career Mr. Ferris had the desire to start a school of his own. His first venture wt.s the Freeport Business college and academy at Freeport, Stephenson county. Illinois. With Mrs. Ferris’ assistance he suc­ ceeded in building up a school that gave promise of substantial success, but a year after it was started Mr. Ferris was Induced to become prin­ cipal of the normal department of the Rock River university, which proved to be a failure. Another private school was organ­ ized at Rock River, known as the Rock River Business college. While the school did fairly well, the outlook tor the future was none too promis­ ing. and in 1879 it wi.s abandoned. After this Mr. Ferris accepted a position as superintendent of the city schools at Pittsfield, Ill., where he remained five years. In 1884 the private school idea again mastered him, and Mr. Ferris concluded to leave Pittsfield and come to Big Rapids. His beginning was most humble. He and Mrs. Ferris con­ stituted the entire faculty, and fifteen students attended on opening day. Today the school is valued at ? 150,000, and has 16 departments and 20 mem­ bers of the faculty. Mr. Ferris was candidate for gov­ ernor on the democratic ticket eight years ago. Twenty years ago he ac­ cepted his only other nomination, besides these for city offices, that of congressman of the eleventh district Mr. Ferris’ success ns a school teacher may be said to be due entirely to his strong personality. Of course his -ideas of pedagogy are factors, but the thing that raised his school above the ordinary was the remarkable per­ sonality of the man behind it All his students, especially the earlier ones, who came more in personal con­ tact with the principal, consciously or unconsciously Initiated him. His man­ ner, his ideas of teaching, of life, and even of religion, were imbibed and swallowed whole. His students were all enthused over him, and Indeed, many of them be­ came embryo Ferrises. One charac­ teristic in particular that all of his early students acquired was a peculiar energy, both of mind and body, which distinguished a Ferris student any­ where. This he was able to impart, and does still, moftly through a half hour he spends with all of his stu­ dents at what he calls the “morning exercises.’’ They may remember very little of what they learned’ in the class room, but they always remember what they hear at -Jiese exercises. Has Few Diversions. Mr. Ferris is a voracious reader. Al­ ways, whether In the study, In the school with a moment to spare, or on the train, he is reading something. He has few outside diversions aside from his work. - Years ago he had a pet uog, with whom he would play as with a child, and from which he would de­ rive rest and recreation. He drives much about the city and country be­ hind a big black horse, but the animal is always driven by Mrs. Ferris. ■Ho smokes a great deal, but is not particularly proud of this accomplish­ ment, and often lectures against it Once, when chided about his preach­ ing and his practice by one of his friends, he answered that he once gave up smoking for several months just to see whether he could. Learn­ ing to his satisfaction that he could, he promptly resumed the practice, on the theory that a habit is not bad In itself, unless one becomes a victim to it. While his townspeople had never elected him to a minor office, they stood by him nobly in bls campaign for governor, as he carried the city by over 300 plurality in the face of a large vote for Roosevelt, and the coun­ ty by about 700. They are all proud of his success, and when a reception was arranged for him and Mrs. Fer­ ris two nights after his election, the whole city turned out to shake hands with him and with his devoted wife, and to congratulate him on his vic­ tory.

"AGE THREE QUESTION CLEARED UP Journal-Herald Readers Can No Long­ er Doubt the Evidence. Again and again we have read of strangers in distant, towns who have been cured by this or that medicine. But Hastings' pertinent question has always been "Has anyone here In Has­ tings been cured?” The -word of a j stranger living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the same weight with us as the word of our own citizens, whom we know and respect, and whoso evidence we cm so easily prove. George Hubbard, 429 W. Apple St., Hastings, Mich., says: “Some six or seven years ago I had occasion to uso Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at A. E.

One day a college professor, going to his class, came across one of his students who had just fallen down. Asking him how he fell, the student replied, ‘‘Notwithstanding."

Feather Out Before Cold Weather Seta In and Cockerela Attain Salable Size. in Barry County These late hatched chicks may be made profitable if one has a separate pen for them. Good fertile eggs can usually be secured In September or early October at a reasonoble coat The chicks will feather out before cold weather sets In and the cockerels attain salable size at a time when they command good prices. Lice are not likely to be troublesome at this time of year. Tho pullets will begin laying as soon as they are old enough, which is just ns the natural breeding season arrives in spring. They are not mature enough to make good breeding stock, but will lay well all summer and fait when other fowls have largely stopped. If you have accommodations for them set a few hens or start an incubator and later you will be able to report good results. (By SYLVANOS VAN AKEN.) Compiled by E. J.

R. Graham of the Ontario station characterizes the points of a weak and a constitutionally strong fowl os follows: What we want is a good feeder and ar. economical producer. Generally, a bird with a short, stout, well-curved beak, a broad head (not too long), and a bright, clear eye, has a good constitution. And I have noticed that when a bird has a long, narrow beak, a thin, long comb and head, and an eye somewhat sunken in the Excellent Type of Meat Breed. head, it is usually lacking in consti­ tution. Such a bird is likely to have a narrow, long body and long legs, upon which it seldom stands straight There are some exceptions to this rale, yet generally speaking if a bird has a good head the chances are favorable for a good body; and, if it has a poor head, the chances are against it I have frequently noticed In the rose-comb breeds that a good shaped one is seldom found with a long, narrow comb. GRAIN FEEDER FOR POULTRY Newly Invented Device Depends on Same Principle as Is Used In Baiting Animal Trap. A newly invented type of automatic poultry feeder depends upon the same principle that Is used in baiting a trap, for the feeder has a bait that is pecked by the hungry fowls and, in response, the machine lets a shower of grain fall on the ground, which they devour, says the Popular Mechanics. The machine consists of a galvanized-iron supply fount filled with grain and a revolving toothed wheel at the base of it This wheel is mounted on very delicate bearings which admit of its movement at the slightest touch. Attached to the wheel is a shaft which supports the bait The bait consists of a hollow tube of wire netting con­ taining wheat The fowls see the wheat through tho netting and peck at it, causing the toethed .wheel to re­ volve and throw out grain from the top supply fount which falls on the low­ er metal cone and is scattered over the ground almost as efficiently as by hand. This prevents the fowls from gorging themselves. After the feeder has been in use for a time there is no great rush by the fowls to peck the bait as one would RANGE TO FATTEN TURKEYS Birds Must Have Plenty of Exercise to Promote Good Appetite—Feed Plenty of Corn. (By ANNA GALIGHER.) Turkeys should have free range while being fattened for market. We used to fatten tho turkeys in email enclosures but discontinued this several years ago because they did not seem to thrive well. After the first few days they would begin to lose their appetite, no mat­ ter how great a variety of food was given. The whole trouble was lack of ex­ ercise. If a turkey cannot get plenty of exercise it cannot have a good ap­ petite and of course will not gain in weight. Give tho turkeys plenty of corn these days and see that they have plenty of sharp grit. Better still, let the turkeys have free access to a corn field for a few weeks. AGE OF EGGS IS INDICATED Rubber Stamp, Invented by Washing­ ton Man, Prints Date and Name of Farm as Guarantee. Recently a great many egg dealers, especially those who own their poul­ try farms, have the eggs stamped with the date on which they were laid and, sometimes, with the name of the farm as a guarantee. An egg stamp in­ vented by a man in the state of Wash­ ington appears herewith. It consists of a hollow cylinder with an axle Automatic Poultry Feeder. Imagine. Some fowls, the “wise" ones, wait around in a circle where the grain will be thrown and the ono which pecks the grain usually gets very little ot it The Barred Rocks. The Barred Plymouth Rocks are at­ tractive when properly selected and rigidly bred, and much can be said of this breed as profitable farmyard birds. As layers they are well-known, and few breeds excel them when It comes to broilers and friers. Filth and health are arch enemies. Recklessness is a short road to fallure. Durlng inclement weather fowls are better Indoors than out. It Is the wise poultryman who stu­ dies the comfort of his fowls. The merits of the scratching shed are shown during bad weather. A pint of kerosene in a gallon ot whitewash makes an excellent Insecti­ cide. The closer fowls are confined the greater the need for variety In their food ration. It Is un easy matter to overfeed fowls, and poultrymen should bear this in mind. As a rale, the larger the number of fowls kept tho smaller the expense in proportion. In poultry breeding, utility should bo the first consideration; beauty should follow. Washing the eggs opens the pores and hastens decay. It Is best to keep the nests clean. Chills, wet food and lack of sun­ shine are the main causes of bowel trouble in chicks. The oily nature of ducks' feathers keeps them from being seriously Stamp for Eggs. bothered with lice.

If the bark 1* taken off clear around the tree so as to ex­ pose the wood, the only remedy Is to bridge graft. This Is done by insert­ ing a scion both u.bove and below th* wound, and, of course, cannot readily be done except in spring. While this can be done successfully, it is Im­ practical for a young tree, and th* chances are that it would be more profitable to pull out the tree and re­ set with new stock. If the girdling Is not particularly severe It can be helped by trimming the ragged edges of the bark with a sharp knife; then covering the sur­ face with grafting wax or other ma­ terial to keep the wood from drying out till new bark grows over and heals the wound.

As ducks lay during the night, or early morning, all the eggs can be saved by proper management. To In­ sure this, It becomes necessary to shut them In their rooms or pens at dusk for the night, and as they are careless about where they deposit their eggs, It is best to have (besides the nest) the floor well covered with dry soil, which, In addition to obsorbing all moisture and keeping the floor clear of filth, will protect from Injury eggs that might otherwise be lost Ducks are quite regular layers after they once begin, usually laying an egg every 24 hours. To Induce them to come In at nights It Is best to feed them at that time, and in tho morning before they are let out. Treated thus, they will soon learn to come home at sundown for their accustomed food, and are readily secured. At the proper time in the morning the eggs are col­ lected, the ducks fed and then allow­ ed their freedom for the day. Two or Mors Varieties. Do not plant an orchard of one va­ riety only.

True Australian Ballot The discussion of a shorter ballot should be kept up. This paper has put forth at several limes sugges­ tions which might Improve tho vot­ ing system and make the ballot less complicated. First—The suggestion of Gov. Fer­ ris and others that only governor, lieutenant-governor and United States senator and in presidential years, president and vice-president should be the only state ticket, something like this: For Governor— |X| Woodbridge N. Ferris, D. □ Amos Musselman, IL [3 Whitney W. Watkins, Pro. For LieuL-Governor— [X| James Helme, D. | | Jown Q. Ross, R. □ William D. Gordon, Pro. For U. S. Senator— [X] Alfred Lucking, D. Wm. Alden Smith, IL □ William N. Hill, Pro. Voter to mark in the square as shown above In front of every man he •wishes to vote for. Here then is a state ticket, to which could be added under proper applica­ tion all of the minor party candidates in counties, where at least five per cent, of -the voters have a party organ­ ization. Instead of a state ticket of 63 names, less than one dozen would be presented to the voter, instead of 90 names added in presidential years, there would be from six to twelve. There would be no confusion about marking ballots In circle above or un­ der party emblems. There would be no blind voting for minor state offi­ cials of which the voter knows noth­ ing and cares less. It may be urged that the elimina­ tion of the minor state offices was removing the same from the people. We believe it would have the opposite effect It would create an inquiry more closely to the merits of the ap­ pointing power,—the governor, just an it now does on president. No one ■who voted for Wilson, Taft or Roose­ velt, cared a straw about the outcome of the minor offices—the cabinet. They voted for the policy of the party and its candidate. If it works well national election, and we vote for a man we have full confidence will earn' out our sentiments as to public measures, we are nearer the expres­ sion of the true will of the people than if we elect indiscriminately any who may be upon the ticket. In con­ gressional. state, senatorial, repre­ sentative, and county offices, we have a char.ce for personal choice anti therefore would be better able to vote for merit rather than party label. There are several gentlemen in this county with whom we have discussed this matter who could write some­ thing worth printing if they would. We would like to hear from them. According to the changes made by Mr. Carney, in his contest for a con­ gressional seat, our neighbors in Eaton county were either very care­ less of, or ignorant of the election laws. The same can be said also of Calhoun. We own'lt is a pretty tire­ some job to read ballots and tabular figures after a day’s work on the board, but elections could close earlier, and counting begin at least two hours ahead of the usual time, an average of 300 ballots to a pre­ cinct and it would be under rather than over. It would seem could be counted in four hours and declara­ tion made. A Unlt*^ States senator, not the choice of the people of Michigan Is nothinE new; but a senator repre­ senting the minority party of a state and nation is simethlng of a novelty. This is probably the last time a sena­ tor will be chosen by a legislature, and in future contests the man elect­ ed will represent the people, or at least will not defy them. If referen­ dum and recall become a law In Mich­ igan it may be possible that Michigan will not have to wait six years to be fully represented in the United States senate. A bill has been introduced in the legislature to repeal the soldier's ex­ emption law. Like the mortgage tax law, it is an unfair law. If the sub­ ject of exemption could be left with the township board of review, where all the facts of each case can be known, there would not be much diffi­ culty In making equitable adjust­ ments. Many soldiers regard the ex­ emption as savoring of pauperism. Woman suffrage will be again sub­ mitted to the voters at the spring election. The bill has been introduced and will pass.

STRUCK IIY K. k S, TRAIN PAGE SEVEX s ‘MM# Loud of Sheep Scattered Saturday Evening By Being Run Into By Engine. Last Friday Edmonds Bros, made a shipment ot stock to Buffalo. More stock being delivered than couid be loaded, Henry Tobias bought some of the sheep. Saturday he came to fake them away. Starting for home about six o’clock p. m. he attempted to drive across the C. K. & S. tracks at Wal­ nut street- Although a regular cross­ ing the railroad company has never put In any plank, so when the sleigh struck the track the runners stuck to the rails. Before the load could be moved the south bound passenger train pulled in at tho depot. Mr. Tobias sent his son to inform the engineer of the predicament they were in and request him to be careful not to run into them and they would get off the track as soon as possible. This he did, finding the engineer oil­ ing the engine. Then he went back to assist in getting the bobs off the track. Imagine their surprise a few min­ utes later to see the engine approach­ ing, the engineer apparently paying no attention to the rig, and slamming right Into the sleighs and sheep. Fortunately none of the sheep were killed, and only one injured, but the bobs were demolished and the rack broken. Why Not Be Fair nnd Decent 1 it is generally understood that in every profession and business there is a code of ethics, written or unwrit­ ten, which is - followed by all self­ respecting competitor in such pro­ fession or business. This being the case, it is astonishing to see the course of our contemporary in its last week’s issue, relative to its ad­ vertising of W. R. Jamieson’s opening. Mr. Jamieson advertised his open­ ing in both of the city papers. The result was he was visited by a crowd of people on the day he Invited the public to Inspect his new ‘baking de­ partment. If therefore our con­ temporary had desired to be fair and ordinarily decent It would have re­ frained from taking all the credit to Itself for the advertising which was done in both papers. But not so. Its self laudatory article has not one word that could be construed by the uninformed reader as an intimation that Mr. Jamieson advertised any­ where else but in the Banner. Does our contemporary, posing as it does as a highly moral organ, think such methods are honorable? Or has it attained such a degree of egotism that It imagines itself the sole dis­ penser of light and information In Barry county? A little modesty, coupled with a decent regard for the truth, is commendable even in a self­ satisfied and self-praising newspa­ per. Mrs. Asbury Black, formerly of this city, died In Saginaw today.

Uncle Pennywise Says. Diogenes Wombat has got the best library in Plunkville. His father lefj him a pile of newspapers three feet high. Probably. The man who spends his life pursu­ ing fame probably does so because he never gets a chance to turn off on a by-path that appears to lead straight to wealth. Daily Thought A man should never be ashamed tc own he. has been in the wrong which is but saying, in other words that he Is wiser today than he war yesterday.—Pope. Personal Interest. As far as the ordinary, every-day man is concerned ono pound of per­ sonal interest will outweigh a ton of public welfare. Rabbit Developed a New Nall. About forty-five years ago three pairs of enterprising rabbits wore In­ troduced into Australia. Today the increase of these six immigrants may be counted by millions. They became a pest to the country. Fortunes have been spent to exterminate them. Wire fences many feet high and thousands of miles long have been built to keep out the invaders. The rabbits had to fight awful odds to live, but the}' have now outwitted man. They have developed a new nail—a long nail by which they can retain their hold on the fence while climbing. With this same nail they can burrow six or eight inches under the netting and thus enter the fields that mean food and life to them. They are now laughing at man. Reserve power has vitalized for these rabbits latent possibilities, because they did not tamely accept their condition, but In their struggle to live learned how to live.—'Animals* Friend. King Adds to County Estate. King George has purchased, for $60,000, Shernb.-rne hall farm, close to Sandringham. The farm was be­ queathed to Emanuel college Cam­ bridge, many years ago.

Has Pleasant Interview With the Candidate On Progressive Ticket That the era of good feeling is tak­ ing place of tho old time rancour, is shown from the following report from Lansing last week: The successful democratic governor and the defeated national progress­ ive candidate for governor met Wed­ nesday in the executive office for the first time since election. "I want to congratulate you upon your election and your broad and progressive views," said L. Whitney Watkins ol Jackson, addressing Gov. Ferris. “I am glad to see you," responded the governor springing up and ex­ tending a cordial hand. “I always shall be glad to see you. I may want your help and your advice." “I don’t believe we are very far apart on principle, even though we represent different political parties,” laughed Watkins. "Not in fundamentals," said the governor. “It'd take pretty fine comb­ ing to find where wc differed on funda­ mentals, now, wouldn't it?” "Yes, it would, governor. We are both progressives. Michigan has done well In her choice of a chief executive. I shall be glad any time and in any way to assist In making your administration the success it de­ serves to be.” Thus did a successful and unsuc­ cessful candidate meet It was a happy occasion and those who wit­ nessed the meeting and heard the pleasant interchange of comment were forc'd to consider that perhaps that different allignment of political affairs Is not so far distant.

"Papa,” began Bobblo ono evening after dltfnor, "It makes a lot of differ­ ence whether you like a person or not, doesn’t It?” Bobbie's father laid down the eve­ ning paper and lodked at his son crit­ ically. "What has little Miss Kelly been doing now?" ho asked. Bobble screwed up his face. "Miss Kelly!” he repeated scornfully. "I hot nobody over to school would know who you were talking about She isn’t Miss Kelly, and she don’t ever bo. She ain't in my room any more, and I'm glad.. Gee, she's tho stingi­ est thng! If sho gives tho fellers a bite of her apple you can know there's something tho matter with it. There in't nobody likes her, les'n It's Billy.” “I understood that she was a very bright girl.” "Bright! Well, maybe,” Bobble said grudgingly. "I dunno. But honest, there’s a lot more to think about than just books." “I thought that was your opin­ ion." "Weil, it's so.” Bobblo declared. "Mamma doesn't want mo to bo sit­ ting studying till 'leven every nlghL I sh'd say not” "Does Mamie Kelly study that hard?' "Well, no," acknowledged Bobbie. "You see, she goes home and works afternoons, but gee, she ain't a boy, and she doesn't mind sticking around the house. They have to work ter­ ribly hard In her room. Billy says he gets nearly killed.” 'Is Billy In her roofc now?” "Yes, there's lots ot fellers In her room. They’ve got a teacher I don’t like. She dresses In freshy gowns. I don't think they ought to wear gowns to schooL" "You don't? Well, may I ask If you prefer bloomers?" ”1 don’t know as It's bloomers," Bob­ ble said thoughtfully. "But anyhow I don't llkd party dresses at school. Then, she’s awful strict You dassn't smile, hardly, les'n she comes down on you like a hammer. Jimmy, he says she scares him almost Into a fit, anti one day she sent him home.” "So Jimmy’s In Mamie’s room, too?” “Sure," Bobble said, uneasily. "It's an awful big room this year. I heard the teacher saying it was 'most too big to handle. Gee, but there's seme swell fellers tn my room. You know that Pete Harding? Well, he’s there and he's one of the biggest fellers on Aunt Mary's street. We had a lot of fun with him yesterday. He was showing us some circus stunts he seen —saw last year. Some class to him, all right" "What Is your teaeher like?" "Oh, she's all right” Bobble said, carelessly. "I knew her before, and she certainly Is fine. Susie Herrick says she’s awful glad to away from her, but everybody knows what Su­ sie Herrick la. There ain’t nobody likes Susie, less'n It's Jimmy, and he goes over there a lot” "Is Susie Herrick in Mamie Kelly’s room, too?" "Well—er—yes. But I don’t be­ lieve anybody could like that teach­ er. She was awful cross to Nellie Foster, and I just tell you that It wasn’t fair. She got sore at Nellie for whispering—that was all there was to it You can’t breathe in that room. That teacher thinks books is every­ thing. She does around with a book under her arm, just as If she liked it Gee, I wouldn’t be a teacher for a farm!” "What room is Nellie Foster in?" "Not in Mamie Kelly's room! There ain’t anybody’d stay In her room if she could get out I'd rather be in the kindergarten alone than in a room with Mamie Kelly." "Why didn't Nellie Foster go up with the rest?" "Oh, she did," Bobble said, dolefully. “She's awful smart But what can you do with a teacher like that? A person couldn't admire Mamie Kelly and Nellie Foster, too. The new teacher Is Mamie Kelly's kind. She won't let a feller even smile in school So that's how Nellie Foster got sent down. It wasn't a thing but for whis­ pering. It makes me awful tired. Ol course, some of the marks was bad, but they often is in a new room." "Where Is Nellie Foster now?" "Her?" Bobble said slowly. "Well, you see, she’s In my room. I—er— well, you see, I got sent down, too.”— Chicago Dally News.

HIS RISE POWER TO By Henry Russell Miller, AtrtAor of “The Man Higher Up” Copyriiht. 1911, by the Bobbt-MerrtH Company CHAPTER V. Exploration*. EFORE the real leaders In the warfare against privilege, cool headed, farseelng. com­ bining caution and courage came forward to give form nnd direc­ tion to the uprising certain lonely prot­ estants had appeared — young men mostly, audacious egotists who. the people said, thought they were wiser and better than other men, dared to criticise what their neighbors accepted and presumed to Instruct their elders. In the end they were broken, silenced —sadly unaware that In the subcon­ scious memory of men the echo of their protest was still ringing. They are forgotten now. John Dunmeade was a normally In telllgent young man. healthy of mind and conscience, who had never been tempted, hence never tested. He had heard the protestants of his day. of course, but they dealt with problems so remote from his own simple exist­ ence that he had carelessly accepted his elders’ appraisement of them. He had an Ingenuous belief In the great­ ness and goodness of men who attained high position In life, such men as Senator Murchell. Despite his charity and credulity, he was, when occasion presented Itself, quick to see the fundamental verities of the case—as Stephen Hampden had learned. He was not unambitious, although tho spark bad smoldered until, appar­ ently from nowhere in particular, had come the suggestion of his nomination. When be perceived the distinct approv­ al with which his neighbors received the suggestion his heart leaped within him. They were a good, kind people. If he should prove a faithful servant 2n little perhaps—with unaffected mo­ desty he contemplated the prospect— to him might be committed service of wider scope. The conceded fact that his nomina­ tion came solely by grace of Murchell's and Sheehan’s decree caused him vague misgivings. Jeremy Applegate’s plaint startled him. Hampden's offer did not tempt—It revolted him. What troubled him most was that these things were done in the light of day and that no one—Jeremy did not count, the victim would naturally pro­ test—seemed to care. After careful consideration of his imposing bank account John Invested a part of It lu a horse despite the teas­ ing of Aunt Roberta, who accused him of “Joining the cavalry*’—to wit. War­ ren Blake and the troop of undergradu­ ates that clattered over the roads at Crusader's heels.

He was a big. raw boned beast with a Roman nose and eyes continually showing white, which quite belied his placid temper, and John called him Lightning. So John and Lightning, two industrious cam paigners, betwren whom n perfect un­ derstanding existed, went about their business of getting votes—aud learn Ing. Lightning's duties generally consisted in standing under the sliade of some tree, while John, a volunteer who at least earned his dinner, worked with the farmers in the fields. And over the dinner table or when the day's work was dene John chatted with the farm­ ers. The labor was good for hhi mus­ cles and digestion, and the chat was good for bis soul. Often be found that Jeremy Apple­ gate or one of Jeremy’s fellow scouts bad blazed the trail for him. But some­ times he found skeptics who asked per­ tinent questions. ••Why should 1 vote for ye?” asked Dan Criswell, a citizen of Baldwin township, one evening. John began to patter the stock party arguments, which carried conviction neither to the skeptical Criswell nor— of a sudden—to himself. He broke off abruptly in the middle of a sentence. ■■Ab you say." he laughed uncomfort­ ably. “Why should you vote for me?" “Does sound kind o’ foolish, don't it? Reckon ye won’t have nothin’ to do with the tariff or the single gold stand­ ard ner prosperity neither. The hull party won’t make ye git after the law­ breakers if ye're cheek by Jowl with Jim Sheehan an’ he don’t want It What I .want to know Is are ye honest —or will ye take orders?" “That sounds logical," John assented. “It’s common sense.

When John left, however, Criswell shook bands with him cordially. “1 guess I'll vote for ye-th Is time. I can't swallcr the bull ticket, though— stomach wouldn’t stand it.

The question fell from the lips of a girl of twenty, fully conscious of tho budding beauty of young womanhood and all it meant of power. "She hasn’t apparently one redeeming fea­ ture; why, sho Is positively gawky." The woman addressed, an attractive matron of about 35, turned a criti­ cal gaze after the figure of tho little woman disappearing down the street, and a knowing smile curled her lips. "I will tell you," sho said. "About five years ago Arthur Smith ■was engaged to the most beautiful girl in our set; you are too young to re­ member just how beautiful she was— at any rate, she completely conquered Arthur—he had eyes for no one else when she was near. At every func­ tion he was her devoted slave—every wish was anticipated and gratifiednothing was too good for her—no task too difficult to perform that would add to her comfort and happiness. "When the Spanish-American war broke out, Ann Reynolds, now Mrs. . Smith, had been studying for two years to be a trained nurse. She had one supreme gift—the gift of tender­ ness, and Nellie, In a woman this is not to be despised. All women do not possess it. Ann's brother apd Ar­ thur happened to be injured about tho same time and were placed on beds side by side in tho same southern hos­ pital On account of her training and her brother’s illness, Ann Rey­ nolds volunteered to go as a nurse to this hospital, and endeavor to save not only her brother's life, but to do what she could to save the lives of others who had become ill In the gov­ ernment service. "About this time Arthur had writ­ ten Bn appealing letter home, or, rath­ er, had asked that it bo written, as he was too ill to do more than ex­ press a wish, asking that his sweet­ heart come to him (they had been engaged just before ho left for th® south), as ho feared ho had contract­ ed a dangerous and contagious dis­ ease, but usually the ones we love do not consider such things as this when a life is concerned; at least, I am generous enough to think that most women would not Well, to make a long story short, Arthur's sweetheart refused flatly to go to hia bedside. It afterward camo out— somehow these things always do— that she feared contracting the fever and thereby marring her beauty. "When Ann arrived at the hospital and found that the patient in the bed next to her brother was from the same city as she, they said she work­ ed untiringly with him night after night with an intensity that probably' saved his life—nt least, tho doctors gave her the credit—and won out , with glowing words of praise from ’ them all. When it was all over, how­ ever, and he was on the high road to health, she succumbed under the strain, and lay for weeks hovering be­ tween life and death. "During her illness Arthur wrote a short note to his fiancee, releasing her from her engagement, and when he re­ turned homo, which did not happen for many weeks afterward, he an­ nounced his engagement to the little woman who had risked a very pre­ cious and useful life to save that of a perfect stranger. One of his old friends said afterward that in an­ nouncing the news to him he had made tho remark that those few * weeks in the hospital had taught him the most valuable lesson in his life-— that beauty of face and form, while pleasing to the eye. were but fleeting possessions, and that as he watched the devoted and self-sacrificing little woman moving from ono to the other of the sufferers, giving her sendee willingly and with a grace and sweet­ ness that brightened the whole place, bringing hope and sunshine to many a homesick and despairing man, he had realized that there was something deeper, nobler and more tranacendently^SKtiful in the world than mere physical beauty, and one which would last until death ,and hq^Jnlshed tv saying: 'And so I lost i|y heart, or, rather, gave It into keeping of the no­ blest woman I had ever met, or ever expect to meet in this world.’" The speaker finished the story in a low, soft voice, and as she glanced over at tho beautiful young girl oppo­ site, she noticed a tear trickling down her cheek, and the serious look that met hors from the brown eyes told her that the recountal had touched a responsive chord In her nature. - w /' Telling the Bees. The custom of "telling the bees" Is often referred to by those interested in curious happenings. In come parts of England it has always been tho habit to inform the bees wf sever there is a death in the family, par­ ticularly when it is that of the mas­ ter or mistress. Some one raps upon the board sup­ porting the hives and says: "Mourn with us. Master (or mistress) of tho bouse is dead.” It is thought that if this duty is neglected the bees will die, and many old servants are fond of telling how the bees pine away when no ono thinks to give then the sad message. —Ave Maria.

Bitten By Pet Dog. While Mrs. Maurice Lambie was dressing for a party last Wednesday afternoon a young bull dog that was in the room suddenly jumped up and caught her face in his teeth. One tooth entered her mouth and cut the inside of the cheek and another grazed her cheek on the outside. The dog did not hang on but immediately let go and acted ashamed of what he had done. He was but a puppy and was a family pet and his sudden at­ tack was a great surprise. The animal was chloroformed. Mrs. Lam­ bie had medical attention given to her wounds which were not very severe, and, as a matter of precau­ tion she went to Ann Arbor Thursday to have the hospital e. jerts watch for possible bad effects. It is not thought, however, that any serious conse­ quences will follow.

Stetson's “Uncle Tom’s Cabin." “Unete Tom’a Cabin," a superb drama, will offer an opportunity at the oper t house next week, to judge in hov< far it has deserved the ex­ ceptionally flue favors that has Wen showered upon It, and in all proba­ bility it will demonstrate quite con­ clusively that a drama with a real plot can be more than clever, in con­ junction with performers of ability and skill, and in tbe same spirit al­ low for novelty features anu stage effects. ‘Undo Tom’s Cabin” is a drama of the southern plantation be­ fore the war. with many tense and unusual sltunlioos, and many fea­ tures that!" are out of’the beaten rut of play-writing. The pt iy has in i<a characters and lines the* true atmosphere, the story is intensely interesting, each act has enough thrilling incidents to give plenty of life to the piece; It is one that gives a glim|»se of the side lights of plantation life, and is one of the best of the kind that lias ever been staged in Hasting:;. Tho pl »y is acted with great spirit and humor, comedy and pathos are hapolly blendM and affords much amusement, as there is much to laugh at in the play, as well ns to admire in the acting. There is no question that thia bright and pretty drani;i. with ita delightful attnosphen of youth and buoyancy, its happy love started, and its interest­ ing plot and wonderful cast ot play­ ers. will record one of the most sub­ stantia! successes.

The other five were self-sup­ porting and this part of the family kept together. The first sorrow was tho parting of the family. At the home good food and clothing, helped to make things more cheerful, but it was of short duration for soon came an applicant for a boy and he was farmed out to a farmer, who in his sober moments was fairly good to the boy, but he frequently got drunk and illnatured and many an undeserved flogging with a knotted rope were re­ ceived. A home and county agent would visit him but he was never al­ lowed to see them alone, and he stood in mortal fear of his master who threatened to kill him if he com­ plained. The wife dying, broke up the home and ho was turned over to a relative of his master, but the state home objected and he went back to the school. He was then eleven years old. and his experience of three years as a ward of the state made him feel as If death would be preferable. How­ ever he was again fanned out to a man near ML Pleasant, where he spent a weary summer, working on a beet farm. When fall came, he was returned to the Coldwater school, and did not go out again until the follow­ ing spring, being then twelve years old. He managed to learn where some of his people were, and he was allowed to shift for himself, which he did, becoming self supporting from that time on. There was good stuff in him as there was in the others of his family: steady, sober habits and a desire to be above want, no doubt prompted by his sad knowledge of his own troubles he saved his money, and began life at 21 years with a start. He married, has one child, owns an 80 acre farm, is in good circum­ stances, though still young; credit good and is happy in the thought that his own child will not be forced into a home among strangers. One thought occurred to the writer as he heard the story of this man, who little dreamed a reporter was listening to his life's history. It was this: Is there as thorough investi­ gation by state authorities and county agents, as there should be In looking up homes, and subsequent treatment of the unfortunate waifs who must be severed from parents and relatives? On 500 Mile-Lap. Miss Effie Bennett, who is teaching the Quimby school, is probably bold­ ing the record for pedestrianlsm among the lady teachers. Miss Ben­ nett goes to her school on the morn­ ing train east each morning of the five school days of the week, and there being no train west which stops at the Quimby station she puts on her rubbers and mackintosh after school closes and takes a hike down the pike, for Bennet’s comer; cover­ ing the distance in about 75 minutes. Miss Bennett closed the 400 mile stunt at the holiday recess and is now on the 500 mile lap. She accepts no offer of a ride, but plods along until her home is reached. She is enjoying the best of health, and her supper is the best meal she takes. Pension Checks Go Back to Office. Because of the new law which be­ came effective Jan. 1 requiring that pension checks be delivered to the pensioner In person, about a score of them have failed of being delivered here. The new law provides that the chocks must not be left at any address unless tlie pensioner be there .to re­ ceive it in person. It does not matter whether the pensioner is absent from the city only temporarily the rule be­ ing strict that the checks must not be left with any one other than those in ■whose favor .they are made., The let­ ters which were not delivered because of the absence of the pensioner have been sent to the pension agency in Detroit, and after Jan. 31 it will be necessary for pensioners to write that bureau at Washington and give their addresses in order to secure the checks. FUNERAL EXPENSE DEDUCTED State Board Decides Detroit Case Under New Employers’ Liability Law. The Industrial Accident board has ruled that lump sum payments may be made to defray funeral expenses in case of fatalities, but that the sum must be deducted from the sum ulti­ mately allowed dependents of the deceased. The decision- was made In the case of T. H. Hetherington, who was killed in the employ of the A. J. Shith Construction company, of De­ troit. . The commission has also ruled that attorneys representing clients at ar­ bitration hearings shall not receive anything from the state. The law provides the state shall pay the ex­ penses of the hearing and many at­ torneys construed this to Include at­ torneys' fees. The act also provides the board shall regulate the amount attorneys shall receive from clients. It has been contended this clause of ihe law is unconstitutional as an abridgement of the right to contract SCHOOL FOR FARM­ ERS ALUEXT WEEK TWO PROFESSORS FROM AGRICUL­ TURAL COLLEGE WILL CON­ DUCT THIS SCHOOL.

Parkes Cadman is a scholar, a master of English and a powerful orator -will not be denied by any one who has once listened to his fascinating lecture on "The Puritan in Two Worlds," and the Women’s Club lecture course has seldom brought to Hastings a stronger man than this New York divine. For nearly two hours Dr. Cadman spoke upon his prolific theme. He interpreted the word Puritan very broadly, in­ cluding the term great men of all ages who have had the spirit of moral uplift In their characters. He paid exceeding high tribute to John Calvin, Oliver Cromwell, John Bunyan, David Livingstone and Abraham Lincoln, He traced the development of Puritan principles from the renaissance, down through the English and American ■revolutions: he showed how Shakespere was the child of the renaissance and Milton the child of the reforma­ tion. Altogether, his lecture was not only brilliant and polished, but it was inspirational, especially to young peo­ ple who are students of history. One such lecture as Dr. Cadman’s is worth much more to a studiously inclined young man or woman than the cost of a season ticket. Photographer Green Has Sold Out Roland E. Green lias sold his photo­ graph studio in this city to L. K. Miller, of Caro. The new proprietor will take possession next week. We understand he is a photographer of experience and success. He leaves Caro because he wants to get Into a larger town, and he chose Hastings because he liked the looks of this city. Mr. Green has not yet decided where he w-lll go. Later—Since the above was put in type we have received word from Mr. Miller to the effect that he has taken Mr. L. B. Dodge, of Care, into part­ nership and the firm name will be Miller & Dodge. HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, JANUARY 23,1913. PRODUCER AND CONSUMER'S PROFIT REPORT OF AN INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE IN NEW YORK CITY. The Figures Given Show Who Gets the Profits From the Saled Farm ' Products. The high cost of living In cities on what may be listed as necessaries is well illustrated by a report from an Investigating committee in Now York City which gathered ithe price paid to the farmer, and the cost to the con­ sumer sho ving clearly the high profit made by the middlemen. We give below some of the figures of the re­ port: The people of New York City paid $50,000,000 for potatoes and the farm­ ers received but $8,437,000. This is the poor nan's food, one of the es­ sentials of every laboring man’s daily ■table. The high cost of selling was $51,000,000. In the course of the year the goth­ am city piJd $28,730,000 for eggs, and for these same eggs the farmer re­ ceived $17,238,000. For milk $48,­ 880,000 wii» paid and the farmer re­ ceived $2*,912,000. This is an ap­ palling state of facts undisputed. All was not profits but high rates of transportation and distribution and some loss, added to the investment ate up rhe money of -the ultimate con­ sumers. Here is another phase of the tran­ saction which must be considered. This high cost to the consumer, comes back <to -'.he farmer In high cost of what he las to buy. Cost to the con­ sumer or living commands the wage <that will be required, tills added to the transnortatlon and cost of distri­ bution, comes back to the farmer in Increased and increasing prices. The great bulk of this enhance­ ment in jrice goes to the middlemen. To remedy this is the puzzle; to bring consumer and producer together, or at least to cheapen the cost made by the frequent handling is the problem. Parcel post may to some extent relieve, tut it will require more drastic measures to bring back any sembhince of cheaper living to the denizens -of the big cities. Gave Mr. Thorpe a Dinner. The genial ex-county clerk, W. L. Thorpe, who retired from his official duties tho first of January, has made a host oi' friends in this city during the last four years. A dozen of these fribnds gave him a stag-party Satur­ day night at Jamieson’s restaurant, the boys felt that before the “Babe" returned to -the simple life on the farm, he ought to be honored with a nice little banquet as a means of showing .him the esteem and good will they entertained for him. Hence the very nice feast, and the appropriate present which they gave him. The feast was given by L. W. Heath, Arthur 3arber and W. A. Schader, and beslees these three the following were present: Ed. Adams, D. K. Tit­ man, R. W. Rogers, H. R. Miller, James Ironside, W. L. Thorpe, W. R. Jamieson. C. P. Lathrop and Guy E. Crook. The Allegan Oil Wells. The Kalamazoo company which h developing the Allegan oil field is greatly encouraged with the develop­ ment of the project The capital stock han been increased to $50,000 and the vork is being pushed on further test wells. Allegan has no better “ous crop” of oil Indications than has Barry county, and we are surprised the investigation of its indi­ cations has not received attention. We ore on the line of Allegan and Saginaw where oil developments have also proven that Michigan is a likely profitable oil field. Davy and Knestrick Released. Joe Knestrick and Hugh Davy who have been serving a 90-days’ sentence In the county Jail, imposed by the federal court, completed their term Saturday. The sentence also included a fine of $100 or ninety days more in jail. They paid their fine and were released. They were immediately ar­ raigned before Judge Smith, having plead guilty to the charge of violat­ ing the ocal option law, and wen; released on suspended sentence until Feb. 24, the opening of the next term of court.

One Dollar Per Year STATE UNIFORMITY OFTEXT BOOKS MOST EDUCATORS NOT IN FAVOR OF UNIFORMITY, BUT OF FREE TEXT BOOKS. Indian's Experience Is Not Proving Satisfactory, and Should Be of Value to Michigan. Inasmuch as uniformity of text­ books for the public schools of Mich­ igan will be urged in the legislature this winter, and as the matter Is one of deep interest to the people, some consideration of the proposition will be timely. The motive that prompts the agita­ tion for uniform text-books Is simply one of economy. The buying of new books every time a family moves from one district to another, and the fre­ quent changes in text-books are burdensome to tho poor and trouble­ some and expensive to all the patrons of the common schools. In so far, therefore, as uniformity would lessen this burden it would be desirable. But are there not objections enough to state uniformity to more than off set this one advantage? Most of the school men think so. They base .their opinion on the experience of other states having a unlfonnity law. In Indiana, for instance, where uni­ form text-books are in vogue, a com­ mittee of five prominent school men has been investigating the system and recently made a report adverse to the system. They found by asking superintendents of city, town and county schools that nearly every text was unsatisfactory or doubtful. In the case of readers many cities and counties are not using the state adopted texts as basal books. The books are cheaply made and de­ fectively bound. The committee also finds objection to the state text-book commission, as not being in close enough touch with the actual needs of the common schools. The state's experience with spell­ ing books Is a good Illustration of how the system works. H. R. Patten­ gill, In his school journal, Moderator­ Topics, is our authority for the fol­ lowing statement: As a forceful and specific illustra­ tion of what state adoption can do even under enlightened and fairly honest conditions please con this item. Only a few months since—the Indiana board after mature, prolonged, and painstaking deliberation adopted a speller for use in all Indiana schools for a period of 10 years. After the publisher had the contract signed, sealed and safely stowed away and the state edition of his speller was pub­ lished, he discovered thaat his speller lished, he discovered that his speller where books stand on their merits, and the author and publisher of the speller issued a new and enlarged edition for use-everywhere but In the state of Indiana, which is loaded for 10 years with a speller acknowledged to be incompetent by its own author. His new edition contains 2300 addi­ tional words—nearly 50 per cent; more than in the state adopted book. The pupils of Indiana must be mark­ ing time for 10 years in spelling un­ der the blessed Influence of a law such as some impetuous, short sight­ ed. foggy-visioned, folks are trying to put over onto Michigan. On the other hand free text-books are strongly endorsed by the educa­ tional leaders in this state. The text­ book committee of the State Teach­ ers' association adopted the following resolution at Its meeting last Friday: “Resolved, that the committee on text-book legislation declare itself opposed to any state-wide uniform text-book law. 'iThls committee declared itself in favor of free legislation regulating uniform prices of text-books to be sold In the state of Michigan at price not greater than the lowest price at which they are sold in any other state. “This last proposed law will pro­ vide for a discount of 25 per cent, from the list prices- to school boards where books are contracted for." The interesting part of the resolu­ tion Is the second paragraph. By providing that uniform prices be adopted; and that no higher price shall be charged than the lowest price at which books are sold In other states, It would seem that the people would be fairly well protected against prices that should discriminate against Michigan. A school book house could not sell spelling books In Indiana for 18 cents and in Michigan for 25 cents, but would be obliged to give as low a price in Michigan as In Indiana or any other state. Uniform text-books as contemplat­ ed by a bill already Introduced do not promise much relief, therefore. Uni­ formity means opportunity for favor­ itism and possible graft, it means I mediocrity and stagnation In the 1m- provement of text-books. It would take away the stimulus of competi­ tion in text-book making, and If Indi­ ana’s experience is worth heeding, it would prove unsatisfactory. There might be a way out of the difficulties of state uniformity, if some such plan as this were adopted. Let a state commission be appointed to prepare a uniform set of outlines for each subject taught in the public schools. Let the state furnish these outlines free to all schools in the state, stipulating that the teachers shall use them. Then, with teachers adequately prepared for their work these outlines could be used regard­ less of text-book. All text-books cover the same ground, practically. So that several arithmetics, or geographies in a class would not operate detrimentally to the real edu­ cation of the children Such a plan, however, would require strong and competent teachers, and It might not prove profitable. It Is offered here simply as a suggestion, possibly worth considering. I Don’t forget the sale at Hogue’s— 19 lbs. of granulated sugar for $1.00. BESSMER INSTALLS CHEMICAL COOLER HIS MEAT MARKET NOW COOLS THE MEAT BY A CHEMICAL PLANT. Cost of Plant $1150, But It Saves Half the Coat of Ice and There Is No Dirt. Herman Bessmer alms to be up co date and has Installed a chemical cooling plant which does away with ice. The plant coat about $1350 and gives a. frigid temperature of about 28 degrees above zero, or enough to keep meats at an even temperature, slightly above freezing. The coat of malntenaiKe is about one half that of Ice, or about $25.00 per month, and it has the advantage over ice. by being perfectly dry air, a thing impossible with Ice. The capacity of the refrigerator will accommodate twenty beeves, 10 hogs, half a dozen sheep and same of calves, besides storage for cut meats, etc. Beside this the plant cools the dis­ play counter, where meals are on sale: the counter being 3-ft. by 3-ft, by 14-fL long. The new arrangement does away with the slop and dirt of filling the refrigerator with ice. It takes a 7% horse power electric motor to operate it. Mr. Bessmer started in the meat business thirteen years ago, with a limited capital, and has steadily built up a business any one could be proud of. He owns the building and other property beside; does a cash buslnwa, both in buying and selling. He is one of the young business men of the city who has made good, and we are pleased to note his success. The Woman Also in JaiL It will be remembered that Abe Kai­ ser, former night clerk of the Barry Hotel, and Belle Weinberger, an em­ ploye of the hotel, disappeared several months ago, and with them some sil­ verware, cash and cigars. Kaiser was finally caught and Is now serving o sixty days sentence in the Jail for lar­ ceny. His feminine accomplice, how­ ever, eluded the officers until last Fri­ day when she came to Hastings, in re­ sponse to a letter she had received from Kaiser. Under Sheriff Llchty recognized the woman on the street and arrested hetr. She plead guilty before Justice Bishop Friday and was given thirty days In jail. Lnta-Coney. Married at the M.

January fifteenth aa new and wel­ comed organization came Into exist­ ence as the result of a meeting held at home of Mrs. Ezra Morehouse. The Lauies’ Auxiliary is the new organiza­ tion, and “thank you, ladies" is the welcome. The Auxiliary began with nineteen charter members, now twen­ ty-two members. They meet semi­ monthly, second and fourth Wednes­ days of each month. Our slelghrlde was designed on ac­ count of the weather, and deferred on account of the weather. The weather permitting, the next time we will con­ summate what we anticipate. Unnecessary for you to wait any longer before joining the choir. We meet 7:30 Saturday evening at Mrs. Loomis’. The Lord needs singers. IL you have a voice give yourself to "singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." Bemeinber to look at the bulletin boards each day. You will find meet­ ings mentioned and messages there for your meditations. Now is a good time to begin going to Sunday school if you have not yet started. Bring yotir Bible, and study “Cain and Abel" with us next Sun­ day. .. All tlte boys and girls of Delton are invited to the "Boys’ and Girls’ Hour" Saturday at 3:00 p. m. at Mrs. Paynes’. Let the pastor know what subject or what text you would like to hear a sermon on. Write it down and hand it to him. You will then feel a per­ sona! Interest in the service, will let your pastor know your needs, and will help others who would like to get the same information. Htjre Is your opportunity to learn your Bible better.

Each Monday morning the pastor spends a few minutes at the school. Each of the school children has been presented with a copy of the "Gospel of John," from which we read a por­ tion on Monday mornings. This week we saw Jesus "the light of the world," bringing light to the man who had been in darkness from his birth. Precious privilege, this of presenting Him to the young. Remember the Prayer Meeting, Thursday, seven p. m. at Mrs. Loomis'. The Teacher’s Mooting lias been com­ bined with it- Here we offer our prayer and praise, and receive bless­ ings bountiful. Attendance at Sunday’s services was encouraging. Further encour­ agement comes from the manifested ' spirit of harmony and happiness tn tho congregation. The work of the choir is splendid, deserving recogni­ tion and commendation. , Let us be present Sunday morning for the sermon In Romans. Do not miss one of these expositions of thia marvelous Book of God. The theme next Sunday will deal with the Jerw'-i need of the “gift of God's righteous­ ness." David held a "service of song In the house of the Lord." Sunday even­ tag we expect to have a special "ser­ vice of song," consisting of indl, vidual, duet, quartette, choir, and con­ gregational numbers, followed by the exposition of some of your puzzling questions.

This subject became a part of the prescribed course of study this year and exami­ nations In it will be conducted in May along with the other subjects. Text­ books have been provided and in ad­ dition to these the department of pub­ lic instruction has available for dis­ tribution a bulletin concerning the subject prepared by Prof. W. H. French of the M. A. C. The Michigan Agricultural college and the depart­ ment of agriculture stand ready to send to teachers invaluable aids for the teaching of this new subject. Nat­ urally the work finds the teachers unprepared, but progressive fanners throughout the slate are showing a disposition to help make this work efficient. A THOROUGH TEST One To Convince the Most Skeptical Jcurnai-Herald Reader. The test of time is the test that counts. Doan's Kidney Pills have made their reputation by effective action. The following case Is typical. Hastings residents should be con­ vinced. • The testimony is confirmed—the proof complete. Testimony like this cannot be ig­ nored. Mrs. Elmer Sponable, 301 E. Wal­ nut street, Hastings, Mich., says: ”1 had kidney complaint for some time and whenever I caught cold, it set­ tled on my kidneys, aggravating ray­ trouble. I had sharp pains in my back and my limbs were sore. Learn­ ing of Doan's Kidney pills, I decided to try them and procured a box at Mulholland’s drug store. They gave me great relief and out of gratitude I have often recommended them." The above statement was given in December 1906 and on May 5. 1909, Mrs. Sponable said: “I am pleased to confirm my former endorsement of Doan’s Kidney pills, as the relief they brought me has been permanent. I continue to recommend this remedy nt every opportunity." For Sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo.

Michigan,. though very slowly to be sure, is gradually waking up to the advantage of larger school organiza­ tion unit. It seems a hard struggle to give up tho present inefficient, highly expensive and unsatisfactory district system which has been outgrown for years. The growth of the township unit system idea has, however, been most encouraging during the past two years. Quite a number of townships have voted for this form of organiza­ tion and many more are considering the proposition. Township unit dis­ tricts have been formed In all parts of tho state during the last two years but the greatest increase is in the northern counties. Confusion with the idea of centralization of schools is a perpetual hindrance to the proposi­ tion. The establishment of a town­ ship unit district does not mean one school house only in the township to which children of all grades must be transported. It does not menn the closing of local schools, thus com­ pelling children to go away from home to attend school. Tho township unit system means the application of the city organiza­ tion to the township. For instance ■the city high school Is used by all of the students from various parts of the city while scattered around in various wards are located as many grado schools as are necessary to take care of the little ones in those particular vicinities. All the schools are under one board which employs all tho teachers, and the rate of taxation is the same throughout the city. In the township the district bound­ aries would be erased, a board of five elected at large would run aa many of the one-room schools aS necessary and if practical would maintain a township high school available for every boy and girl In the township. Tho people are protected against in­ justice In that any ten electors may appeal from any action of the school board to the state Superintendent of Public Instruction who has full au­ thority to determine the question. Under the township unit system, school Is maintained for the same length of term throughout the town­ ship, the taxes are spread over the township thus equalizing that matter. Tho primary money is equally distri­ buted over the township and a much more just and equitable condition is thus established. When desirable it !s possible to have located in a con­ venient part of the township a high school which will give to the boys and girls In the country equal educational advantages with their town or city cousins; which will make it possible for the parents to keep their children under the direct Influence of the home during the most critical period of their lives and still not deprive them of high school training; which will make it possible to give them an edu­ cation particularly fitted to their needs and will give to every boy and girl In the township an equal chance. Sunday School Lesson The Hardest Job In America. We warn Mr. Wilson against the interests who are trying to wish a secretary of the interior upon him. They are the Same that planted Bal­ linger on the easy-going Taft. Their prize is big and their ways are subtle. The interior department is the big­ gest job in America, and the bottom , tiers of Its clerks and petty officials are honeycombed with disloyalty to the people’s Interests. To learn its problems and become acquainted with its personnel, four years is little enough. It is now in the hands of a man who knows the job and is known by the public. Mr. Fisher gives con­ fidence to the east that the heritage of the people will be kept secure from thieves; at the same time his Intelli­ gent willingness to guide and help legitimate development makes him satisfactory to the west. Mr. Wil­ ton thinks it necessary to supplant the present secretary, we hope it will r be for a better reason than the fact that Mr. Fisher happens nominally to be republican. The peace and sue­ . cess of Ills administration are more bound up Ln this than any other ap­ pointment. If Mr. Wilson thinks he can find a secretary better prepared for bringing this huge department permanently free from thirty years’ entanglement with fraud, more cap­ able of organizing It in a way that takes account of modern views of the public lands, we wish 1dm well. But we doubt it, and experience has made ub more familiar than Mr. Wilson with the interior department, and the carer thieves whose tentacular toes now impinge upon its circumference. —Colliers. The Difference in Men. One man will settle down Into the routine of his, calling, digging the ruts deeper each day, until he loses power to see out from them. Another, in the same vocation, shows an ability to make each day’s work :< source of new growth in grower and in apprecia­ tion. So, one person will rest pas­ sively on the fact of some well-estab­ lished love or friendship and thus lose after a time the beauty of the rela­ tionship and the meaning it once pos­ sessed for his life: while another ac­ tively woos the love of his friend every day, and so finds a deep, ever opening below deep in the relation­ ship. with an ever fresh realizaution ruth and w-onder of life.—Ed- FOR JANUARY 26. By Lee W. Ames. Lesson text: Gen. 4:1-15; lesson theme, Cain and Abel. Lessons Divisions. I. The Generations of Cain and Abel, 1, 2. II. Tho Occupations of Cain and Abel, 2. III. The Obligations of Caln and Abel, 3-7. IV. The Culminations of Cain and Abel, 8-15. The Outline Developed. Adam was created by God, Eve was “taken out of Man," both of them without sin, created "in the image of God.” Man chose to sin, thereby marring God’s creation, and break­ ing his communion with God. Now sons were begotten in the "likeness" of Adam (5:3), man is not what ho was, as our lesson shows us. Cain (Acquisition); Eve believed God’s •promise of a seed, and accepted this ns fulfillment. Children come “from the Lord." Have you presented yours to the Lord (Gen. 18:19; 2 Tim. 3:15)? Abel (Vapor) the spiritual man, as contrasted with Cain, the man of the world. Abel was a shepherd; so our Lord (John 10). Cain was a tiller of the ground, which wac under tho curse. Abel a picture of man before the fall (keeper, verse 2 with 2:15): Caln of man after the fall (tiller of the ground, verse 2 with 3:17, 23). Cain's offering ciune from the ground (3:17); Abel's from the flock (Heb. 9:22). Cain failed to see him­ self a sinner. Abel saw himself in need of a substitute for sin. Cain would come .to God in his own merit; Abel only through sacrifice. Caln has many followers today, Jude 11. God rejected Caln’s offering, pointing him to sin and the need of a sin-offering (verse 7). "That which is born of the flesh is flesh," and the flesh is enmity against God (Rom. 8:7), So Cain re­ belled. Rebellion against God (ungodliness) led to the murder of his brother (un­ righteousness) (Rom. 1:18). Man, who was by eating to “be as gods” (Gen. 3:5), is seen to be of his father, the devil (John 8:44). The curse Is pronounced upon Cain, he goes out from the presence of the Lord to Nod (banishment) not annihilation (2 Thess. 1:9). Then he occupied him­ self with the things of this world, try­ ing thereby to fill the void in hlaheart Man Is doing the same today. “Be ye reconciled to God." Abe' was dead, but his blood cried from the ground. So with Jesus, killed by His brethren. His blood "speaketh better things” (Heb. 12:24). L<t us shew the Lord’s death till He come" (1 Cor. 11:26). W. R. Fox, 195 W. Washington St., Noblesville, Ind., says: "After suf­ fering many months with kidney trouble, after trying other remedies and prescriptions, I purchased a box of Foley Kidney Pills which not only did me more good than any other remedies I ever'used, but have posi­ tively eet nfy kidneys right Other members of my family have used them with similar results. “Take at the first sign of kidney trouble.

One of the economic triumphs of the age is tho utilization of waste materi­ al, and the use of weeds as food staples is a phase of this triumph. The most Interesting of these new “weed foods'' is milkweed, the com mon. wild variety, that grows in even rocky pasture, in meadows, and bj roadsides In abundance. Its large, thick, smooth leaves are familiar tc all, and its deep, dull pink tuft oi flowers, and later its seed pods, filled with delicate floss and flat brown seeds. When it is broken off, a thick, white, milky juice exudes. This Is rich In nutrition. This common and luxuriant weed is now being cult! vated In gardens as a valuable foot staple, and makes one of the most de licious of vegetables. It tastes almost exactly like asparagus, and is cooked In much the same way as spinach. II has been found to be rich in natural salts and nutrition, and Is easily cul tivated.—Mrs. M. P.

Some are flours of medium quality selling as high priced flours; some are good flours selling at good prices and there is the flour that is the best but sells for a moder­ ate price. The cause for the best flour selling for a moderate price is due to the efficiency of the mill, its owners and workmen. White Lily Flour Is made by a mill where the efficiency is at its highest.

JANUARY 23, 1013. JUDGES ATTACK LAW’S DELAY. | FOUL BROOD—ITS SYMPTOMS AND CARE Present Jury System Responsible for Expense and Delay of Court Trials. The annual meeting of the circuit judges of Michigan, held at Lansing during the holiday recess, brought out many good points Ln the way of • suggestions which would help advance I litigation and court cases, shortening | trials, and lessening costs. Attorney Victor Gore of Benton Har­ bor, who represented Michigan at the National Bar Association meeting, led In the assault on the rules of proced­ ure now in vogue in American courts. Edward Cahill of Lansing, formerly justice of the supreme court, and Judge Willis Perkins of Grand Rapids, also advocated several changes In the Blok Larvae—More Transparent Than present rules and laws. a Healthy Larva*. Much fault was found with the jury system ns used at present Ail were agreed that the judges should have more authority to pass on facts. At­ torney Gore, Ln discussing the matter, said: “The jury system is responsible for most of the delays and expenses. In Tennessee, the chancery courts have been given concurrent jurisdiction with the Jaw courts in all but a few cases. A jury trial may. be had by applying for the same. The plan has [ been a great sucess there. "In Illinois, claimants in probate 1 cases have a right to demand a jury. * The probate judge of Chicago hears l about 6.000 cases yearly.

The most difficult * thing is setting the trap. The way we set our traps is as follows: Aye cut a stick from the woods about 18 • inches long for each trap and sharpen ' the ena. The fork can either stick up or down, just so the ring cannot : be forced over the end. We go to ' the creek, taking sticks and traps and j anything else considered necessary, I and put everything In the boat says a writer in Farm and Home. Then comes the hunting of slides. ' Row the boat very slowly and watch 1 for a place where the muskrats go ! up the bank in numbers, where the tracks are fresh near the water and go entirely up the bank In a snigle path. Make a flat place three to five Inches under water. One great mis- | take Is in setting traps too shallow. ' Then set trap on flat place and stake ' as far out in water as possible, so as , to drown the rat Push stake entirely under water, but do not try to cover trap, as sediment In water will settle ‘ on It and color it so the rat will not' ( see IL A boat Is of great value to the rat trapper, for you can set a trap and never once mark the bank or leave any scent We don't advise bait ex­ cept a little musk secured from the rat, but spring is the onlj^ time to use musk. When you get him it is a sim­ ple job to kill him by a light rap with a club, and then hold him under the water. Skinning Is of the cased style. Be careful not to cut the hide, and get all the fat and meat off iL ns they spoil the^ale. This can be more easily taken off after the hide Is on the board. , Don’t set traps too early In the fall for the kits are small and hides not prime. A warm, rainy night is tho best. On such nights we have aver­ aged oue rat to three traps. Be a: traps at daylight If possible, ns they commence to gnaw out as soon as It Is light. Double jaw traps prevent gnawing out In making boards use half-inch chestnut or poplar. Make them six inches wide and two feet long.

FLOCK OF CHICKENS LEARN BAD HABITS When Fowls Show Signs of Pull­ ing and Eating Feathers Steps Should Be Taken. (By WALTER B. LEUTZ.) 18lck Larvae With Roof of Cell moved. Sometimes a flock of hens acquire the habit of pulling and eating each other’s feathers. In some cases they are so bad that the flesh of the fowls becomes torn and sore and the whole flock Is nearly naked. When they first show signs of this vice measures should promptly be taken to cure theta. The trouble is caused by too closely confining the fowls and allowing them to be idle. Where possible they should be turned on the range where the fas­ cination of chasing bugs and eating the green stuff will make them forget the bad habit. When they cannot be turned out they should be made to scratch for their grain In deep litter. Bundles of wheat or oats or sunflower heads may be hung up just high enough that they will have to work to get the seeds. Give them some turnips or mangle beets or cabbage heads to work at— anything to keep them in exercise and busy. Feed them plenty of green food, meat meal, beef scraps and green cut bone. Rub carbolated vaseline on the plucked fowls where the feathers have been pulled out. gathering honey they store it in the cells where the foul broody matter dried down, just the same as they do in the sound cells, and often seal them, and os soon as the larvae Is fed any of the honey that has been stored in the diseased cells It will die of foul brood, and when larvae Is fed in cells where foul brood matter dried down It will also die of the disease. Should the larvae escape contamin­ ation until near the period of paupahood, It is sealed over in the normal way. The cover furnishes a screen on which part of the cocoon is soon after spread; but the Inhabitant of the cell is marked out for death, and before verj1 long the capping or sealing sinks, becoming concave, and In it punc­ tures of an irregular character ap­ pear. This is nearly a conclusive sign of the diseased condition of the colony. The sense of smell Is also appealed to, as a peculiar, foul and extremely char­ acteristic odor now escapes from the combs. This is difficult to describe, but it reminds one of offensive glue. To cure an apiary of foul brood ev­ ery comb must be removed out of a!

Its equipment consists of clean. Inviting nest boxes, self-feeders, with grit and sheila, the ground floor banked deeply with leaves and straw, writes George W. Brown of Hancock county. Ohio. In Lhe New England Homestead. We keep the hens busy from daylight until perch time dig­ ging after small grain scattered sev­ eral times daily In the litter. Lawn clippings, meat offal, beets, pumpkins, cabbage and an occasional sheaf of wheat, oats or clover hay suspended from the roof gives them business. It is the busy hen that lays the eggs. She hustles and has red blood coursing In her veins to keep her warm on-cold days. Our perches can be hooked to the roof, and if we have any drones in the flock inclined to spend much of the day on the perch we. just hook the perches to the cell­ ing. They soon get the habit of hustling with the rest of the flock. We have no use for drones on our farm save in our apiary. Kansas City, Mo.—Farmer boys in the vicinity of Oak Grove have a new trick which they are playing on city autolsts who burn up the county road in that section. Henry Sieben, with Mrs. Sieben and William Wolf, former aiderman. and Mrs. Waif, while motor­ Ing along the rock road in the eastern end of the county recently had the trick played on them. "I guess we were hitting it up at about a 50-mlle clip.” said Henry, "when I distinctly heard a puncture. I whistled for brakes and stopped the machine so suddenly I nearly lost my guests. " ‘Did you hear anything?' 1 asked Billy Wolf. “ ‘You've got a tire puncture some­ where here,* he Informed me, thereby confirming my worst suspicions.

I.—There has recently bean found here a bell bearing the date of 1702 and marks that would indicate that it one time belonged to Queen Anne and was presented by her to Trinity church of thia city. The bell has been stored away for years under a stage In the church guild hall. While a few knew that there waa on old bell there, no one thought that it was of any importance until it was hauled out and examined by Rev. Stanley C. Hughes, now rector of the pariah, a few days ago. It has the appearance of being made of bronze and silver and Is in an ex­ cellent state of preservation.- It Is two and a half feet high and besides the date has a broad arrow mark, which is understood to have been on all the bells given by Queen Anne to the American colony churches. Another bell the church got from Queen Anne was melted up some years ago and used In moulding an­ other, now used in the church clock. No record of tho other bell can be found. Another Trinity church historic relic has also recently come to light. Years ago in the chancel there were two quaint mahogany armchairs that had been brought from England. These later were stored away and when the late Henry Morgan Stone was rector he found one and put it in use again. No trace of the other chair could be founl until this week, when a local dealer in antiques found It In his shop. He has since presented it to the church.

It calls upon the “Capitol of the United States" to repair a piece of paper, about two Inches wide, evidently torn from the end of a dollar bill. The sec­ retary, who has fallen heir to the mis­ sive. says ho has handled many docu­ ments, delicate communications and all variety of requests, but this one "has his goat" It has been recom­ mended that the communication be re­ ferred to the senate committee on banking and currency, but the secre­ tary does not look upon <the sugges­ tion favorably, and retains the letter.

Too Costly Method. At a cost of several thousand dol­ lars per day the members of the legis­ lature have settled six contested seats and without a change of a single seat. While tho contests were on by the several committees which under the law makes the legislature judge of the election of Its members, the bal­ ance of the members supposed to be in session at a cost of $1,500 per diem, were idle although compelled to meet from duj’ to day because no quorum appeared to adjourn to a set day. Even Sunday a session had to be held. This cost of both time and money could have been saved by a law pro­ viding for recount by county can­ vassing boards, for all offices, who should be authorized and empowered to summon election officials and other witnesses. The conditions found in the re­ counts of several precincts where a sugar barrel in one instance and in several others coffee cans, and Tough boxes with hasp and padlock fasten­ ings were receptacles for ballots, show but little heed to the require­ ments of the law, and to the safe guarding of the ballots until such a time as the law provides for their de­ struction. No election board should be made up by members of one party. As far as possible the representation ot each leading contesting party should be made imperative, and all should bo competent One thing to the credit of Michigan so far as dis­ closed by the recounts, is that no evi­ dence of fraud was found. Errors In plenty, but they were purely clerical. Delayed returns create suspicion, and the law should provide for more prompt returns to the county can­ vassing board, and secretary of state. There should be one set of the re­ turns sent unsealed to the county clerk, where they could be opened to the inspection of candidates, party chairmen end newspapers. This, as ■well as the sealed copy to the judge of probate, should be delivered as soon thereafter as possible and within five days after election. The spectacle of Wayne county re­ turns not being in the hands of county canvassers until thirty days after election is not an inspiring one, and It such election boards were treated as criminals, and their voting constitu­ ents were disfranchised for a time or two, there would probably not be so much suspicion of crookedness in the brewery districts. With the short ballot there could be no hindrance for result of each state election to be announced from the sec­ retary of state's office within fifteen days. Tht4' Glasner BilL The Glasncr bill, requiring a clean certificate of health before a license to marry would be Issued, is likely to meet many rebuffs before it will be­ come a law. Mr. Glasner, representa­ tive from rids county, introduced the bill in tho 1911 session. He has again Introduced the bill, and it is meeting Identically the same opposition it met before. County clerks are almost a unit in opposition. They selfishly fight it on the ground it would take fees out of their pockets, thus admit­ ting that fees lire of more considera­ tion than public Health or morals. The young man or -woman, or for that mutter persons of any age, should be proud of the fact that they are of sound body and mind. If they are truly upright the would not like to be deceived, or to contract a mar­ riage obligation with another who Is impure, and who might become a parent, transmitting to future genera­ tions disease of body or mind. Mr. Glasner's bill would not, if it became a law, be a hardship to those who desire to get married. It might pre­ vent some unhappy marriages; it cer­ tainly would prevent the marriage ot incompetent people, whose children are apt to be imbeciles and a con­ stant burden on the taypaylng pub­ lic.

There is no law’ to prevent ' /township boards, to be strictly con­ the patronage of the enlisted men, fined to indigent soldiers or widows. nor of regulating the dives. Recently an investigation by three Christian people has been made and the reports of medical men show that tho army is demoralized, and un­ mentionable diseases with drunken­ ness are rapidly fitting the army for discharges and confinement in Insane asylums. Those in position to know are fre­ quently confronted with conditions enumerated in the discharge papers of late soldiers who apply for pen­ sions. Some of these ionditlons will bar these men from any consideration by the government This condition ot things Is growing worse. The army canteen or saloon has a license to sell beer only, by the sutler or post storekeeper. It is inside the barracks, or camp inclosure; it is di­ rectly under the control of the com­ mandant. subject to all the regula­ tions of the camp. It closes at night when "taps" is sounded; it opens when reveille is bugled and the rule is to sell no beer to an Intoxicated soldier,, or enough to intoxicate. Under these regulations there is very rarely in­ toxication. No lewd women are al­ lowed in the camps and there is no desire on the part of the soldiers to go outside for what beer they want. The restoration ot the privilege to sell beer by the milltan' posts is recommended by all leading military officers and congress will confer a lasting benefit to the country by con­ ferring the Tight. Had the late Osborn legislature given the people a chance to vote their preference. for president in n primary election, the republican party of Michigan would not have been humiliated and forced to hold har­ mony meetings; nor would Wm. Alden Smith be U. S. senator elect. The gain the republican party made by defeating the immediate primary bill was the split of the G. O. P. and the election of Wm. Alden Smith to succeed himself as senator. Perhaps it was worth all It cost to elect a senator who does not represent the sentiment of -his state. State Wide Prohibition. The big question now before the legislature of Michigan is state wide prohibition of the liquor traffic. A bill introduced by Representative Dunn, of Sanilac, provides for the submission of the question to the voters in 1914. It provides for con­ stitutional prohibition. If it carries and with the sentiment in favor of abolition of the traffic it Is likely to, It would be many years before it could be undone. The legislature is lining up on the proposition, and while there is strong opposition the majority is lu favor of submitting the question. Tho interjection of the liquor agita­ tion into the gubernational campaign is likely to cut some Ice in the choice of candidates for state, legislative and county officers with the outcome a problem. We have opposed local option or statutory prohibition simply on the ground of a continua'. agitation and strife. If the question could be set­ tled for a locality or state for a per­ iod of ten years, at a time, then statutory prohibition might answer. Constitutional prohibition would bring the interstate commerce law into action and assist in preventing thc importation of liquors into dry territory. At present this privilege of shipment •will render nugatory any local option law. If we are to have prohibition at ail let it be state wide. There was a money trust; there is a money trust It is a menace to legitimate business, acknowledged to bo so, by one of the principal stock holders while on the witness stand, before the Pujo committee. Is there a remedy? » The Marquette editor, who is the defendant in a libel suit brought by. Theodore Roosevelt, pleads justifica­ tion and has filed notice to that effect. The trial is to come off next month. Perhaps if the defendant should probe around Grand Rapids, there might be something dug up, about an occasion a year or two before the episode on which is based thc present libel sulf. Democrats have a good opportunity to elect a justice of the supreme court. The nomination of an emi­ nent jurist like Geo. L. Yaple, or Alfred J. Murphy, of Detroit, would insure a united democracy upon either name. There Is to be a three cornered fight for the spring election and democrats have the best of the prospects. Gov. Hodges, democratic governor of Kansas, wants federal judges elect­ ed by popular vote and their term limited to six years. With as an ef­ fective recall as in the Archbald case the limit could be taken off. Yes; Wm. Alden Smith Is senator and there fs no evidence of new gold watches among the legislators. In thia at least there is a change for the better, over the McMillan, or Stock­ bridge methods. Geo. F.

Osborn, P. T. Colgrove and Supervisor Geo. AV. Abbey were subpoenaed Monday in a law suit in Chicago. It appears that when E. L. Shull and R. Kowalski made the deal whereby the latter became owner of the Barry hotel properly, some prop­ erty in Chicago went to Shull, part of the rental of which went to Ko­ walski to apply on the difference be­ tween the price of the two prop­ erties. Now the Shulls claim mis­ representation and have served an In­ junction upon Kowalski restraining him from drawing any of the rentals. Messrs. Osborn, Colgrove and Abbey were called to testify as to the value of the Bany hotel property, which we understand was turned over to Kowalski at a large figure.

Dalton for the mammoth camp—to shelter surviving Union and Confederate veterans who will meet at Gettysburg battlefield next July to commemorate the fif­ tieth anniversary of the battle. The camp will consist of about 54,­ 000 tents, afford.ng accommodations for between 60.000 nnd 70,000 vet­ erans. There will be 200 kitchens, a complete divisional field hospital and three fully equipped infirmaries. The camp will spread over 276 acres and will be occupied temporarily by about 200,000 persons. Congress has ap­ propriated $150,000 for the celebra­ tion, the state of Pennsylvania $250. 000 more and both northern and southern states will make appropria­ tions to defray lie transportation expenscs of their respective veterans.

Y.—Mary, the pet hen of Miss Hannah Mace of North Tarrytown, attempted suicide. Miss Mace gravely insists that Mary was conscience stricken, because, at the high price of eggs, she had not been able to contribute her share. The hen flew up on a wire fence, and, then, sticking her head through one of the holes, jumped off. There she was slowly strangling to death, when her owner, attracted by the oth­ er chickens cackling and making a great noise in tho yard, ran out and rescued her pet To a reporter Miss Mace said: "Mary was hit by an automobile some months ago, and since that time she has. not been able to lay any eggs. "Mary became despondent, and for a week I have noticed a far-away look in her eyes. She didn't care about her appearance, and her feathers were left uncombed. Finally she began to starve herself, and when she could not stand it any longer she just tried suicide.” T> E 0 P L E who are accustomed to the best of everything prefer our plumbing.

CHAPTER VI. Th. Call. HE Consolidated Coal compiny was a fact, a splendid, epoch making fact The Inst stubborn holdout, surrendering to Hampden’s skillful ne­ gotiations. to necessity and pressure of public opinion, had been led tri­ umphantly into camp— and on Hamp­ den’s terms. Among the hills west of town things began to happen under his forceful direction. A spur from the railroad was being constructed. A vil­ lage of rough shanties was hastily thrown together to bouse the colony of miners that was to be brought later. An atmosphere of businesslike haste pervaded New Chelsea. The price of real estate promptly advanced. Vi­ sions of expansion, of prosperity, filled the eye. Cransbawe one day explained to your responsibility on other men's shoulders, nnd they haven’t the rieht to take the power." The man's hot. rough eloquence found a lodgment where least expected in John’s heart, already sensitized by his own discoveries nnd questionings Jerry Brent was right. The oldest Inhabitant conld not re­ member when the old party had been so vigorously attacked. To stem Ute tide of revolt—John felt It strongly in his canvass—an old time rally was to be held In the square. Sheehan In­ structed John as to the part which the latter was to play. "You’re to speak. Hit ’er up hard. Tell ’em all about us bein’ the friend of the farmer. It's your chance. Parrott nnd Sherrod'U be there. Parrott’s no slouch of a speaker, but you can beat him. Farmers like a good speech.” "I don’t know that T care to make the speech.” "Don’t yon want to be elected?" Sheehan demanded. “I guess so. Yes.” with sudden vigor nnd a short laugh that Sheehan did not understand. “I do." "Well, then, nlay up your inde­ pendence. Tell ’em there’s no strings tied to you.” "I can tell them that—with truth." Sheehan looked long and hard nt him. Then he chuckled. "Of course. And don’t forget the state ticket when you’re talkin’.” When he was Jone John fairly writhed In his self contempt nnd hat­ red of the Ik>rs. He prepared a fine speech, and then enme the night of the rally—the pomp and panoply of war. We stand with John under the big elm at the northwest corner of the square, where Main and North streets meet Before us is the rough board speakers’ stand, hastily knocked to­ gether and liberally bedecked with John why he and his Deer township neighbors had capitulated. “We got to take what we can git It takes a lot o’ money to develop coal lands. Hampden has it—an’ we haln't We found he’d got all tho right o' ways. If we could find any ono to buy our coal, he couldn't ’a’ shipped, ’ceptln’ over Hampden’s right o’ way. I don’t like to be held up, but It’s my only chance to leave anything fer my children." “I hope It will all turn out for the best.’’ raid John, fearing—he hardly knew why—that It might not so turn out ‘‘Seems like.” said Cranshawe. “the feller with money has the whip hand over the feller with something to sell or develop. Trouble is, even when we know It’s wrong, we don’t want to change It. hopin’ that some day it’ll give us a cimnct to make money the umo way.” “Oh. no!" John protested. "I’d hate to believe that I can’t believe It. Men aren’t all of the dog-eat-dog spe- I des.” “Well." said ’HI. a little ashamed. “I don’t know as I believe It myself. Guess I’m a little peevish over bein’ outbargained by Steve Hampden. I wish," he added thoughtfully, “you could be lawyer fer the company. It looks like us farmers won’t have much Bay In the business. I'd like to have •ome one on the inside who could tell *js what’s goln’ on." “No chance of that. ’Hl. Hampden doesn't think much of me." He did rot tell Cran^hnxve why he had lost the capitalist’s favor. ..The net result of*bls quixotism, he thought with some bitterness, was to ■ win Hampden’s hostility and to put himself out gf the way of protecting bls farmer friends. And Ir.te In'October occurred his par­ ty’s rally. • * It was avcesMyy to marshal the badly shaken, party hosts. For Into Benton county had marched a young man who. in a single opposition speech, broke through th<* defenses so pains­ takingly reared by Jeremy Applegrte and his fellow soldiers. None otter than Jerry Brent A big. rawboned, homely fellow, uncouth In manner nnd sometimes In grammar, but with n crude, passionate eloquence that al­ ways carried his audience with him. He had been a coal miner, a labor organizer, and had. after n struggle so common that description stales, been admitted to the practice of law. In all the thirty-five years of his life the charge of material dishonesty b»d never been raised ngninst him; be was still poor. And he was counted a ris­ ing man In tho opposition party, rot with the connivance of his party bosses, however. They considered him a rad'cnl. unsafe and—cardinal crime In an honest and unmanageable yonng man—ambitious. Respectable people sneered nt his "antics." It was said that Ids eyes were fixed on the next nomination for governor. Even with this suspicion rankling in their minds the bosses dared not—so popular was he among labor men—refuse him op­ portunity to speak during the cam­ paign. « John, an Inconspicuous listener, heard Brent's Benton county speech. It troubled him. It seemed to him unanswerable. Brent. It was true, dealt In terms of suspicion, not of facts, but It was a suspicion that found a swift echo in the hearts of his audience. He frankly said as much. "We don’t govern this state," said Brent "One man. Murchell, picks out our officers nnd tells ’em what to do while in office. You people don't gov­ ern Benton county. One man. Jim Sheehan. Murchell’s tool, chooses your commissioners, your treasurers, your she; Ills, your district attorneys.” John winced. “And It’s wrong, my God! It’s wrong!" the orator cried passionately, •qt would be wrong, oven If these flags and lithographs of Lincoln and of Beck, the candidate for treasurer. In front are many rows of pine benches. Over all falls the white splendor of the full October moon, to be dimmed when the four kerosene torches guarding the speakers* stand are set flaring and 1 smoking, and by many other lights. Debouching into Main street from other rends comes a steady stream of steeds, gaunt and strong and slow moving as the human freight they draw, shylug awkwardly at the lights flashed in their eyes by reckless, mis­ chievous boys. The steeds are safely hitched In various churchyards, and the drivers gather In the square iu shifting, serious groups. Gradually the square fills. A hoarse bum of voices rises. The air becomes charged with an unnatural excitement—the sense of an occasion—bred of the strange lights and bustle and the presence of many men. John between handshakes has time to feel it. His lagging soul. Jaded by much questioning, leaps forth sud­ denly responsive. These men are—the people. The power ot it—the power nnd the glory! He thrills under a sense of oneness with them. Mnrcheli and his machine. Sheehan and his eon trol. seem far away, unreal. Impossible The candidates, properly acclaimed', and their party of distinguished citi sens are on the platform. The benches are filled. Around them stands a fringe of men. mostly farmers, who in the rush for seats have been too slow. John, sandwiched In between Sheehan and Congressman Jenkins, looks our over the audience, a strange question in his eyes. He Is seeking a “reason." . as though It weft to be found written on the faces of the men before him. The speaking begins. After a shun preliminary speech the chairman intro duces Beck, candidate for treasurer, as Inconsiderable now as he will be when in office. Then comes Parrott, a fa­ mous corporation lawyer, whose fea­ tures somehow suggest that he is well named. He is adept in the use of those phrases which elicit enthusiasm, but do not convince. After him Mark Sherrod, state senator, a tall, suave man with a magnetic something about him. One of his eyes tins a slight cast and gives | bls face a sinister expression which not all bls undoubted attraction can re­ move. He is a coming man. Already a power In the big eastern city, it is whispered that he is planning to suc­ ceed Beck In the treasurership. And after him tho Hon. G. Washington Jen­ kins. congressman from the district. Lincolnian In figure, shrill and nasal of voice, but with the old campaigner's fund of stories and a rough and ready eloquence that catches the crowd in spite of his time worn arguments. The front seats roar their approval. From the fringe of farmers. Jim Shee­ han observes, comes only grim silence. There Is an uneasy sense that Jerry Brent's suspicions have not been an wered. Through it all John sat, hardly mov­ ing. But within him was tumult He was contrasting tho grandiloquent, vir­ tuous phrases with the machine as he had seen it. And be knew that In the devious devices of which he could not help hearing hints in bis campaigning he bad caught but a glimpse of the thing—the machine. He did not believe that good employs evil to its ends; by Its agencies a cause was to be Judged. He sighted along the lino of those who profited by it—Sheehan, Beck, Parrott. Sherrod, Murchell. The line was lost In the mist of his Incomplete knowl­ edge. This knowledge, his rankling suspicions, Brent’s questionings. r<**e up to confront him. demanding a “rea­ son." He could not find It. And the people—the sturdy, patient, hard headed men out there—were they such dolts as to be fooled by the hoilow mockery be­ ing enacted before them?

Wil, by the Bobb.-MerrU Company -tne speech In his pocket burnea to skin. The tumult was still raging when the Hon. Wash Jenkins concluded hls florid peroration nnd ‘the applause died down. Vaguely, as from a distance. John, heard the chairman Introduce “New Chelsea's can-lidate’’ and the sudden cheers that rose. He did not realize, although Parrott and Sherrod did. that in the cheers was a quality not felt in the other greetings that night He rose mechanically. He hardly knew when Sheehan, grasping hls arm, shouted Into his ear: “Don’t forget the state ticket Play it up hard!" He stood silent before them. The well conned speech, with its smooth periods, the dramatic climaxes, to which hls cletr. flexible voice lent it­ self so beautifully, refused to be ut­ tered. He could not speak the lie he bad prepared; a “reason" he bad not At last words came, in a dry. sup­ pressed voice. He did not mean to be facetious, and no one laughed at bls grave, protesting Irony. “We have heard tonight of the past glories of our party, nnd of glories that are of the nation. I shall not re peat, lest repetition dull their point. I have been Lsked not to forget the state ticket, in fact, to play It up hard. I need hardly speak for the gentle­ men who have so eloquently spoken for themselves I presume they do not wish to be saddled with responsibility for any of my shortcomings, nor do I wish to be Judged by theirs. I nm a candidate for office. If you think me the sort of man to administer that of­ fice honestly and well, without fear or favor, and as my own man. I shall be happy. If you don’t think that yon can’t believe that any party’s history will make me an honest official. Andthnt’s ail I can say." He turned and walked toward th? rear of the platform. The silence con tinned. Slack jaws fell slacker. Tinfringe of farmers stood motionless, bewildcred, slow to grasp the signifi­ cance of the short speech. Through the silence the voice of Jim Sheehan, first to recover presence of mind, car­ ried over the crowd to Main street “For God’s sake start a tune or something!" This to the band. Some one laughed. The bond began to play "When Johnny Comes AlarchIng Home," of all tunes! People begnn to rise from their seats. It was not necessary for the chairman to an­ nounce the end of the meeting. On the stage John faced a wrathful tableau—Parrott Sherrod and Shoe- “Don't forget the state ticket.

Yon abuse courtesy. young man.” “Not yours, lit nny rate." John an swered, and walked from the stage. He made hls way quickly behind It and out around tho crowd. He was dazed nt hls own act A heavy sense of treachery was upon him. yet lie could not have done otherwise He had not eyes for the curious glances, many of them more friendly than he conld then havj believed, cast toward him. Walking swiftly with eyes cast down, he would have passed without noticing the fashionable trap in front of hls home hnd not a voice from It called to him. “John, John!” He tried honestly to resist, feeling Instinctively she spelled danger nnd that every hour with her added to the danger. Rut he made the mistake of looking at her. Always she was re veallng some new charro for him and. despite his inner warning, now bred In him a sort of recklessness. He called himself a weakling, a fool that plnyed with fire. And. so styling himself, he assented. Soon they had left the town behind them and were bowling along the moonlit road.

MICHIGAN IN 8303 THE WOMEN’S CLUB DEVOTED LAST FRIDAY’S MEETING TO WRITERS OF OUR OWN STATE. List of Writers Who Have Made Mich­ igan the Scene of Stories Includes Some Hastings Folks. The Hastings Women’s Club met in the council room Friday, Jan. 24, nt 2:30 o'clock, the president, Mrs. Fred Stebbins, presiding. We desire to call to the attention of members the printing in another part of the issue of the bills concern­ ing forestry which the club is asked to consider and endorse at its next meeting. The president called the at­ tention of the club to an article re­ garding forestry in the current num­ ber of the Saturday Evening Post. Mrs. Charles Maywood was chair­ man for the afternoon. Roll call was responded to by the names of Michigan writers, and the following names and others were given: Miss Anna Johnson, James Oliver Curwood, Will Carlton, Ben King, Edger Guest, Roy K. Moulton, Stewart Edward White, W. W. Potter and Charles Weissert. Mrs. William Stebbins presented the history lesson for the day, which comprised some notable treaties and ordinances made soon after the close of the Revolutionary war, and which vitally affected the future history of the state. The history closed with in account of the leading provisions of the ordinance of 1787 that was to be as a beacon light to the great states which it affected and this ordinance Is still regarded as a wonderful piece of law. It provided for equal rights for all, freedom and education, mak­ ing It a question never to be brought up whether or not the great central states should permit slavery within their borders. Miss Gertrude Bauer and Miss Aimee Benkes sang a duet accom­ panied by Mrs. Maywood, and re­ sponded to an encore. These young voices were very much enjoyed. Fol­ lowing this Miss Johnson, of whom we as a club are so proud, read a pa­ per entitled, "Michigan in Song and Story.” Only the briefest extracts can be given of this most excellent paper. She spoke of our war song "Michigan My Michigan" written by a woman in 1862. Will Carlton re­ ceived brief mention because of a later consideration in the club. In "The Sung of Hiawatha” Longfcl low sings of Michigan scenes and of the state’s aboriginal inhabitants. The scene is laid on the southern shores of Lake Superior. . When we leave song and approach the story the field widens. The tales might roughly be divided into three groups:The historical, ihe story of our state’s resources and the one In which the romantic and picturesque back­ ground is accentuated. In historical stories are noted the works of Mary Catherine Crowley. "The Heroine of the Strait" Is a Michigan story, of the time of 1760-65, and deals with the set­ tlement at Detroit and Pontiac’s re­ bellion. The Mormon episode of King Strang and his kingdom on Beaver Island has brought forth many stories. Oliver Curwood’s "The Courage of Captain Plum" narrates the last trag­ ical days of the miniature kingdom and Srang’s overthrow. The same year that Curwood’s book was brought out two serials, dealing with this some Mormon kingdom, were published one in a farm and the other in a church paper. The first of these "Once a Mcnnon" was written by Irma B. Mat­ thews, at that time a resident of this city, and the other. "An Island King­ dom " This story was written by Miss Johnson, who writes under the name of Hope Daring. Constance Fennimore Woolson’s “Anne” Is one of the best known of the Michigan stories, the scene of the opening chapters being at Mackinaw Island. Michigan lumber interests having found a story teller in Stewart Edward White, and such stories as “The Biased Trail" mnd "The River­ man," give a vivid picture of the life In the northern woods. Twelve years ago Mrs. Elie W. Peattie published a book entitled "The Beleaguered Forest" Two thirds of the scene of this story is laid in the Michigan woods. Mention was made of the humorous book by John Esten Cook entitled “Tamawacca Folks” a satire on Michigan summer resort people. Many Indian myths and legends are preserved in the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, also Mrs. Hamlin’s "Legends of Detroit" is a collection of valuable stories. The tales gathered by Man' Hartwell Catherwell, "Mackinac and Lake Stories" are worthy of special mention. “Ann Arbor Tales” by Karl Edwin Harri­ man are strong and realistic. This tribute to the venerable President Emeritus, Dr. Angell is worthy of Vol. 2, No. 10. quotation, "Then he smiled such a smile as fifteen thousand men and women in this country and in far countries, remember with a little tightening of the throat that comes with the memory." These are but a few of the songs and stories of Mich­ igan. Many of them are still to be written. Michigan songs and stories are and will be many. To you and me because Michigan is our home, they are of more than passing in­ terest. "From Saginaw’s tall whispering pines To Lake Superior’s farthest mines. Fair in the light of memory shines, Michigan My Michigan.” Miss Johnson is herself the author of many interesting and valuable Michigan stories; "Father John,” "Madeline, the Island Girl,” "The Is­ land Kingdom" and “Entering Into His Own," are among them. Following this Miss Burch rend a paper furnished by the Reciprocity Bureau of the Michigan State Federa­ tion and written by Adah Stevens Mc­ Cutcheon, of Albion, on “The Maga­ zine as an Opinion Maker.” a most excellent paper, but ’.he length and scope make a review of it impossible. HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, JANUARY 30,1913. 01696660 AGAINST HASTINGS THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL HAS TAKEN OFF NIGHT OPERATOR AT THIS STATION. You Cannot Send Ajiy Message By Western Union After Seven O’clock In the Evening. Hastings is the best town on the Grand Rapids division of the Mich­ igan Central railroad. Its passenger business is away ahead of any other station between Jackson and Grand Rapids and so is its freight business. And yet the officials of the road give Charlotte, Nashville and Middlevilla better accommodations than they do Hastings. Tljese towns all have neat, brick stations, that are clean ami pleasant. We understand that Ver­ montville is also to have a new build­ ing. But Hastings will have to get along apparently for some time with the present old fashioned and inade­ quate passenger station.

The object of these gatherings is to become better ac­ quainted. EXPLOITED BY • ONEJiEWSPAPER POULTRY SHOW IS AGAIN BEING MADE ADVERTISING ADJUNCT TO THE BANNER. Journal-Herald Offers to Publish Premium List Free, Is Ignored. No . Information Vouchsafed. When an organization, public in. Its nature and designed, at least osten­ sibly, to be of general benefit, wishes to publish its purposes and plans It usually resorts to the public press. A county fair, a farmers’ in­ stitute, a soldiers’ reunion or a poul­ try sliow usually depends upon the newspapers of the county to advertise itself, and the newspapers are usually public spirited enough to do their full share towards boosting along all such enterprises. The spirit of mutual good will and helpfulness prevails very generally, everywhere, with the one remarkable exception which the purpose of this article Is to emphasize. The news­ papers, whether large and Influential, or small and humble are usually glad to give such publicity as they can to all worthy undertakings. And usual­ ly the officials in charge am thought­ ful, courteous and considerate enough to treat all the papers of the com­ munity or county with impartiality and fairness. There is no exclusive­ ness nor discrimination shown. Acting in this spirit the Journal­ Herald a year ago, when the Hastings Poultry’ Association was preparing to give its annual show proposed to the officers to publish tree of all expense to the association the premium list. To our surprise we were met with the objection that another newspaper had the only copy and It was not available. ' Evidently that other newspaper had completely tied the hands of the of­ ficials so that they were unable to get. the copy for any other paper. So, the attempt of the Journal-Herald to help the poultry association by giving free space to the premium list was thwarted by the shrewd scheme of a contemporary whose selfish policy is to recognize no other paper in the county but its own self and no higher principle than its own pecuniary profit. The Journal-Herald, therefore, be­ ing thus rebuffed in its good Inten­ tions, contented itself with a simple explanation of the facts, and the Banner went on and held its poultry show. This year the Journal-Herald hoped that a more liberal and fairer policy would be pursued. Surely, the man­ agement would not again be led into any such scheme for the exploitation of one newspaper at .the expense of fairness to the rest! But again ’the same game is being played. This paper has been absolutely Ignored In the matter. A week ago application was made to the then president, Mr. M. W. Hicks, for a copy of the prem­ ium list, and he said we should have It. But Mr. Hicks has since resigned and withdrawn from membership. No other member of the organization has said anything to the Journal-Herald about it or vouchsafed to give us the slightest Information about the affair. Evidently, It is to be another Ban­ ner poultry show, rather than a citi­ zens poultry show. This paper and its many readers are not expected ’o help or to patronize this show. That Is the only logical conclusion to he drawn from the course that has been pursued. Do the good people of this community who want to see fair play approve of such petty, narrow tactics? We do not believe It. One Dollar Per Year COUNTY FARMERS’ ROUND-UP INSTITUTE I WILL BE HELD AT COURT HOUSE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, FEB. 7 AND 8.

Buying Steam Roller. The common council session last Friday evening was devoted to a steam road roller problem, which three firms of builders were adding their knowledge and effons at solu­ tion. The city needs a roller; it needs a road drag to be used in ad­ vance of the roller, and then it needs some sort of administration steam to keep 'em going.

At the last state grange meeting in December, State Master Ketcbam, conceived the idea of bi-jounty grange meetings. The first one was planned for Barry and Eaton and was held last Saturday at Charlotte. Barry county was to furnish the pro­ gram and Eaton county to give the dinner and put on the work in the fifth degree. To say that the meeting was a suc­ cess would be stating it mildly. Mr. Ketcham hoped that 400 mem­ bers from both counties would at­ tend. One can easily Imagine his sur­ prise at being greeted by twice that number The meeting assembled in the Ma­ sonic Temple at 10 o'clock. Reports were received from 16 granges in Eaton county and 8 granges in Barry. . One hundred and thirty-five mem­ bers from Barry attended the meet­ ing. Twenty-nine of these were initiated into the mysteries of the fifth degree. The Charlotte grange put on the work in a very creditable manner. Seventy candidates in all received the work and none will soon forget the impressive way in which It was given. Barry county furnished the follow­ ing program which was in charge of M. A. Vester, Pomona Master for Barry county: The program began at 2:30 p. m. and lasted till 5 p. m.

In reply to "A Teacher” who criti­ cises our opposition to “teacher’s pension” and asserts that "teachers" are to pay tills pension by taxing themselves, would say ultimately the "pay” will come from the taxpayers who pay the teachers, who are bound­ ed together to keep teachers' wages up to the highest point possible. “A teacher” also should consider that it is but a step from a teachers fund to a general tax for this purpose. The opposition to such pension law is the opposition to any civil service pensioning. The non-producing class is growing rapidly, and as this class becomes more numerous, the taxes become higher, for eventually the in­ dustrious workers, who are in busi­ ness on private enterprise must foot lhe bills, be he farmer, merchant, manufacturer or day laborer. We are in favor of liberal wages and inclined to think the average teacher gets little er jugb for the ser­ vice rendered, but that does not make the matter better in our opinion, why we should favor teachers’ pen­ sions any more than the laborer, in the ditch or the street cleaners, hack drivers or state or government clerks, the latter with an eight hour work day at more than double the wage of private enterprise become paupers, as soon as political changes are made in official life.

I also find there are 14 drains whose ac­ counts have been overdrawn in amounts ranging from 1 cent to $26.45 each and aggregating a total over­ draft of $54.49. There are Several other drains of record which seem to have been abandoned for several years and which I did not think necessary to look up \inlese some action is taken to re-establish them.

Flour Making Many brands of flour are on the market. Some are flours of medium quality selling as high priced flours; some are good flours selling at good prices and there is the flour that is the best but sells for a moder­ ate price. The cause for the best flour selling for a moderate price is due to the efficiency of the mill, its owners and workmen. WASHINGTON LETTER By Clyde H. Tavcnner. Congreasmanelect: AVashlngton, D. C., Jan. 29. 1913. Take the tariff off me§t and sugar, and place a tax on incomes! This promises to be a feature of the legislative program of the demo­ cratic 63rd congress. Questions asked by. witness before the ways nnd means committee would be placed on the free list as well as sugar. An income tax to make up for this loss of revenue from the tax on sugar and meat will soon come into existence as a result of the ratification by the necessary three-fourths of the states of the pro­ posal to amend the constitution. Removal of the tax on meat and sugar will mean quite a saving to the , consumers. JThe wholesale price of standard granulated sugar averages two centa a pound less in London, whore there is no tax on sugar, than in New York. The cables have fre­ quently reported that American beef on which transportation has been paid across the Atlantic was being sold on the block In London for two cents a pound less than in New York. Naturally the sugar trust and the beef trust will not approve a poUcy of free meat, but the sugar trust and the beef trust is not in the saddle in Washington as heretofore. final report of the committee be ac­ Total ......................................... $81,381.22 I cepted and adopted.

James T. Lloyd has let It be known among his friends that he will not stand for re-election to the chair­ manship of the national democratic congressional committee. Mr. Lloyd has served chairman of this Important committee six years, ^through three congressional elections, which is long­ er than any democratic was ever hon­ ored with the place. When Mr. Lloyd, who comes from the First Missouri district and .has long been one of the democratic lead­ ers of the house, first took hold of the chairmanship of the congressional commit;ee the republicans were L» power in both branches of congress and seemed likely to be for many years to come. Mr. Lloyd inaugurat­ ed a plan of close co-operation with the democratic candidates for con­ gress that was a- little more syste­ matic and effective than any policy that had ever been worked out be­ fore. Then he built up one of the largest democratic news syndicates in the country,, which had never been attempted before by the congression­ al committee. . Mr. Lloyd believed it was import­ ant that the people be kept Informed of what .wan going on in Washington, and he launched a news bureau to give the people this news from a democratic viewpoint, not only dur­ ing campaigns, but all the time. E^er since Mr. Lloyd has been chairmanof the congressional committee the country democratic newspapers have been furnished with a. weekly letter of democratic news from Washing­ ton. Tho publication of these ar­ ticles has been of the greatest help to the congressional candidates. Mr. Lloyd has also originated a statistical bureau, which has gathered data for the newspapers letters as well as the congressional candidates. Mr. Lloyd has devoted a great deal of his time ■ and energy to his work, and feels the time has come, now that the demorrats are in the ascendancy, for some good man to step and take his place. : It Will StlcS: to you always, of counw it will, because it’s a IIuzol-Mcnlhol Plaster madotostick on until 1; drives out the pain of Neuralgia, Lumbago, Rheumatism, etc. Yard rolls §1.00; regular size 25c, At all druggists or direct by mail from Davis A Lawrence Co..

The Ladles’ Aid wishes also to announce that if any one wishes such work done they will be glad to do the same for twenty-five cents a piece. The draw was well attended, both Thursday and Saturday nights, and must have cleared twenty-four or twenty-five dollars. Walter Ford, of Marshall, was th*, guest of Dick and Eva Kent from Sat­ urday until Monday. We -wish :o say that the sermon preached lost Sunday evening was one of the best in the correspondent’s point of view, -in the way of self ex­ amination. and spiritual uplift, ever listened to. Rev. McClure based his remarks upon these words, "And the se<Kl was on the ground." In the be­ ginning God walked in the garden in the coo) of the day. Today He Is al­ ways in the garden. Moses caw Him in the burning bush, we see him everywhere, we can attend church regularly, be a member of a church, teach a class in Sunday school, and yet, have no life, for the seed is on the ground. Wo can do, and yet, we have no life, for we ' have no coramunion, for the seed is on the ground." Th s is the reason of cold, church members, dead lifeless churches, Sunday schools, and every other Christian organization that has no life. ”0001401, but no communion, for the seed is on the ground.” The seed must get into the soil before it can take root and bring forth. Then growth is sure to follow, and unless one is born again, unless there is communion, there will bo no life, no harvest of souls, for the seed is on the ground.” Come out next Sunday morning at 10:30 and hear him.

No fore­ noon session was held on account of the lateness of the hour. Dinner was served at 12:30 to about 100, after which the afternoon session was open­ ed with a song by the club, “What a Friend." The chorus class gave a se­ lection, "Victory" and responded tu the encore with a second number/Tmmanuel.” Devotlonals by Rev. Mc­ Clure.

Ernest Farley gave a very pleasing recitation in his manly way. Reading, Mrs. Emma Hill, "The Ideal Life." Popular opinion has ever held tenaciously to the old adage that "any fool can farm." If a boy shows an aptitude for learning he Is prompt­ ly declaimed "too smart to waste his time on a farm” and is advised to learn a profession. Girls are more liberally educated, their time being of less value, as a result nine-tenthsi of farmers’'wives are better educated than their husbands. Not that all fanners arc Ignorant but nine-ten-.hs of them do lack a thorough business education. Another fact is that the getting of money alone Is not the surest mark of success. A man's bank account may reach the millions, but hls life may be a miserable fail­ ure. No man's life is a success who “Liveth unto himself alone." Reading. Mrs. Ida Kent, ’’The Farm­ er's Wife," a machine io do general housework and belongs to the farmer. Poets of all ages have sung about the beauty and independence of tho farmers’ life and have spoken In glow­ ing terms of the independence of the farmers' wife. To be sure the farm­ ers’ wife today is far in advance of what it was yearn ago. but there is yet chance for Improvement Her work is like a mountain covered with mist, you cannot discern the top of It. To cook meals three times a day and three hundred and sixty-five days in a year takes all the romance and poetry out of life. And what is her compensation? Her board and clothes! This is not as it should be. God created woman as a help-mate for man, put her here as a companion and ■ help-mate to the farmer, not a machine to be kept constantly In mo­ tion until worn out.

When man's soul became filled with the great responsibilities of life, the choice of a vocation is a matter of grave concern and furnishes food for serious reflection. The life of a farmer is one of unremitting toll. Nature calls him at early dawn to begin his day’s task. Bu fuses vigor into his body, his mind becomes cool and reflective and his breast is filled with noble ambition. As the years pass he views with pride his stored wealth and with Ids suc­ cess his prominence in the community increases. He has Invested his tal­ ents at pn interest which compounded at a rapid rate. He Indulged in no idle dreams. He did not permit the persuasive voice of temptation to lead him astray, but then his soul there passed a prayer of gratitude for the untold blessings he has received. Recitation by Miss Avlce Briggs. "Whistling in Heaven," was certainly enjoyed. Program closed with a song by the club, "Blest be the Tie" and adjourned to meet Saturday, Feb. 22, at the Base Line M.

A correspondent of the De­ troit Free Press gives the following description of the versatile gentle­ man: Eaton Rapids, Mich., January 25.— In the person of Rev. J. R. Wooton, pastor of the Methodist church here, this town has one of the most versa­ tile preachers in the state. j He is generally rated as being about as good a pulpit orator as Eaton Rap­ ids has ever had, and since he has been here he has spoken at about every kind of gathering that has been held in the town, from a newsboys banquet to a fruit growers’ conven­ tion. He has made good all along the line, football and basketball fan ns he was when he was in the palmy days of his college life, when he was the biggest athlete in the football squad. He can also handle the domestic science department of his heme with creditable grace -when occasion de­ mands It, and put “taps” on the chil­ dren’s shoes while they sleep. His last exercise with his cobbler’s outfit was last Saturday night, when be tapped three pairs of shoes for his children and had the whole Job done before tl <j clock had etrurk thr mid­ night hour. In the summer he puts in several days a week in the hay anil harvest field, cuts corn and picks apples Ln the fall, will cut ice in the winter if anybody wants to contract wrth him for that sort of work, is always at prayer meeting Thursday nlghls and at every other meeting in bis church during the week, besides never fail­ ing to have two interesting sermons ready for his regular Sunday services. , In addition to all of these accomp­ lishments, Mr. Wooton is one of the best liked men in the town. .

Shall This Clty^Expend Not to Exceed Ninety Thousand Dollars in Light and Power Plant. COUNTY CLERK ON SALARY. This Is the Plan of New Bill to Be Introduced in Legislature. To put all county clerks on a salary basis and to fix the salaries in propor­ tion to the population of the counties is the plan which will be embodied in a bill to be presented to the legisla­ ture. At the present time many of the counties, Barry among them, have their clerks still on the fee system al­ though the entire ..trend is toward a straight salary’ basis for all officers. Because of the fact that clerks In small counties could not draw the same salary of the larger counties the sliding scale according to population is proposed. According to the scale proposed this county would pay not far from $1,500 a year, but there is a provision that supervisors may increase the rate. The obje -tion to the population plan is that in the large counties the office would be a sinecure as the law provides for deputies and clerks, who do the routine work, while In counties like this the work must be done by the clerk, or a deputy he has to pay. • There Is merit however In the prop­ osition, and Tegkrdless as to how the clerks may feel about it the bill should become a law.

I .am sorry of having been the cause of plowing up Ragla's lawn but as I do not remember of seeing any geese or ducks running a lawn mower, thought it better to have the ditenea on the outside than In the center of the road. Now if Mr. Turner would view the cultivation on the fields he works as closely as«he did the roads perhaps he might soon be a taxpayer and not a tool for the road agitator. As this is the time of the year the farmer has the most time to spare, I want to ask all those that have brush along the road, please cut them right away and save serving notices on them. Knowing that I have used the money entrusted to me In the best way that T believe to have been right, will close by giving my best wishes to all triie hearted fanners. As ever yours, E. F. Chariton. Mr. Editor: Dear Sir:—Believing the farmers of Hastings township would like to know whas became of their road tax and the condition I am placed in.

The Pennock bridge with a 20 foot throat but a seevn foot arch being sufficient, arch, fill, railing and lum­ ber for the construction cost $149.17.

PAGE THREB Aching Kidneys Cured in Hastings Every Picture Telia a Story. If Your Back Achesand Your Kidneys are Weak, Get the Kidney Remedy That Ha^ Been Proved GOOD Again and Again Right Here in Hastings. Hastings People Tell It E. WALNUT STREET Homer Ingram, 504 E. Walnut St., Hastings, Mich., says: "Several years ago I suffered from severe pains across my kidneys. My back-was also lame and after stooping, I had great difficulty in straightening. The’passages of the kidney secretions were irregular and caused me considerable annoyance. Having rend about Doan’s Kidney Pilis. D procured a box nnd began their use. In a short time the lameness and soreness disappeared nnd I felt much better. I have never been bothered by kidney complaint since then and therefore, I have no . hesitation in recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills." MADISON STREET Are YOUR Kidneys Weak? HOW TO TELL“Firet r,,Ild the twltin‘ony and'loom what Doan’s Kidney Pills have done for others Then if your back aches, if sharp pains strike you wln-n stooping or lifting; if you are lame in the morning, tire too easily; if you have dizzy spells and are nervous, despondent* and inclined to worry over trifles ;if the kidney secretions are highly colored and full of sediment, if passages are too frequent, scanty, painful or scalding, it is likely that " your kidneys need quick attention. Take a sample of the urine and let it stand for 24 hours. If a sandy, brick-dust like sediment settles tj the bottom of the receptacle, there is evidence enough to suspect the kidneys. . Mrs. Elmer Sponable, Madison St., near Water SL, Hastings, Mich., says: “I hud kidney complaint for some time and whenever I caught cold, it fettled on my kidneys, aggravating the trouble. I had sharp pains in my back and my limbs were very sore. Learning of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I de• • elded io try them and procured a box nt Mulholland's drug store. They gave me grout relief and out of grati­ tude I have often recommended them. I am phased to confirm my former endorsement of Doan’s Kidney pills, the relief they brought me has Leen permanent. I continue to rec­ ommend them at every opportunity." S. CREEK STREET ! ! Mrs. B. F. Rlckel, 125 S. Creek St.. Hastings, Mich., says: "Both of us have used Doan's Kidney Pills and we recommend them highly as we did some years ago when we gave a public testimonial tel Ing how much good they did us. 1 used Doan's Kidney Pills when I had backaches and my kidneys were out of order. They cur­ ed me. Another of the family suffer­ ed a great deal from the kidney se­ cretions being irregular and com­ plained of backaches. He used Doan's Kidney Pills procured at Mulholland’s drug store, and they relieved him of the pains nnd regulated the action of his kidneys." W. BOND STREET C. W. Moore, retired farmer, 128 W. Bond St., Hastings, Mich., says: “Two years ago I was greatly bothered by kidney complaint. There were pains 'in my back and hips and I was so lame that I could hardly get around. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment. Reading about Doan's Kidney PIIIb, I procured a box from A. E. Mulhol­ land's drug store and they helped me so greatly from the first that I con­ tinued taking them until I was re­ lieved. I have not had any symptom of kidney complaint since. Doan’s Kidney Pills have my endorsement In return for the great benefit they brought me." E. THORN STREET . Newton Bronson, 338 E. Thorn SL, Hastings, Mich., says: "Doan’s Kid­ ney Pills were so beneficial to me that I can recommend them highly. Last winter the kidney secretions gave me considerable annoyance, ow­ ing to their frequency in passage and I suffered a great deal from backaches nnd pains through my loins. Hearing a great deal In praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, I was led to give them a trial. Af­ ter I had used tbe contents of two-boxes I was free from pain and lameness and tho kidney secretion no longer annoyed me." E. HIGH STREET Mrs. Edwin Barlow, 220 E. High SL, Hastings, Mich., says: ”1 have no hesitation whatever in recommending Doan's Kidney PIIIb as a kidney reme­ dy of merit. I suffered a great deal from backache and there were acute pains through my kidneys. Having Doan’s Kidney Pills brought to my at­ tention, I procured a box at A. E. Mulholland’s Drug Store. The relief they gave me has been permanent and consequently I do not hesitate to con­ firm all I have previously sqld about them in public statements."

You enn give an Interview sayin' that you wi-s misunderstood-tbat you're for tbe state ticket strong and want all your friends to vote for It" “Is that an order or a request?" “Whichever you please." Sheehan answered shortly. “And If 1 don’t do It?" ’There's another man runnln’ for district attorney." “Why. Sheehan!" John simulated reproachful surprise well. “Surely you wouldn't go back on your party! But I forge:—you’re the party, aren’t you? I suppose Slmcox belongs to the party too." Slmcox was John’s opponent. “And If I do?" •Then you’ll '.In." John got leisurely to bls feet His visitor also rose. "Sheehan, you’re ly। Ing. You’ll knife me In any case. I Well, 1 won’t do It.

"I am.not exactly regretting. But 1 felt an explanation’’— “Can you." the judge interrupted coldly, "explain away the fact that you have betrayed the party that hon­ ored you. cast discredit upon William Marchell, who has given you his friendship,-upon me, who—con you ex plain that?' lie rose. John shook his head. “I thought I could. But now I'm afraid not" The judge's lips parted, then closed firmly as though he conld not trust himself to speak. He raised his hand in a gesture In which grief and hope­ lessness were blended and, turning, stalked slowly from ihe room. John smiled uncertainly. “I’m afraid. Aunt Roberta, your hones were a true prophet" She sighed assentlngly. He went out to fiice bls neighbors—an ordeal. New Chelsea was rent In twain— nay. into many divisions—by John's speech, its honest but partisan son! sorely troubled. . The largest number, torn betwixt liking for their young neighbor and the mental discomfort of those whose traditions had been.rudely jolted, with­ held judgment until they could see what befell. Among the fanners was no dissension. A sudden lifting of heads, a still half unbelieving rejoic­ ing that the young fellow, who as be sweat with them In the fields asked questions, bad dared to voice their protest The Globe, stanchly partisan, made do mention of John's part In the rally save the unconsciously humorous sen­ tence. “Attorney John Dunmeade also spoke." Later, not greatly uplifted by tbe doubtful honor of being a bone of con­ tention. John wns alone in his office, smoking furiously, brow wrinkled, feet propped on tbe table. A heavy tread In tbe outer room announced tbe ar­ rival of a visitor. Without knocking the newcomer flung ope:, the door and strode Into the office. His hat was pushed back on bis head; an unligbted cigar stuck out at an aggressive angle from tbe corner of his mouth. He sur­ veyed John in mingled anger and dis­ gust John, not rising, sighted over lazy feet • “Good morning.

When n young feller like you thinks he Is better than his party he's got a lot to learn." John considered this statement for a moment. “I do not." he concluded, “think I am better than my party." Sheehan enught the point "Hub! Guess yon don’t know who the party 18." •That's Just what I'm trying to de­ cide. Perhaps you enn enlighten me." T can. A party." Sheehan spoke with intense conviction—“a party is those that control it?' “Then In Bentop county you’re the party ?" . ' "Eggsnctly! Me and Murchell." * •Then, modestly. 1 do think I’m bet­ ter than the party.’’ John responded, still pleasantly. "And. as you any. I’ve a lot to learn. Have you coma to teach me?" “Say. iudn’t you no respect for my ■position in this county?" “For your position n great deal: for you—none nt all." SL'robnn grinned In spite of himself. “I like your nene.. That's what makes me sore." he. went on reproach­ fully. "I like you.

He Illustrated by drawing out n fat roll of bills. “Will they get you votes? When I came to Plumville fifteen years ago al! J owned was the shirt on my back.

I didn’t get it by havin' Ideals." How true. John thought, judging from bls narrow experience. Was it possible that the seats of the mighty were reserved only for the Murcbells, | the Hampdens, the Sheehans? He tboyfillt jjjsFUslfd'v of tbe__cow»e. j It was a vow of consecration. k | : The courtroom In the dingy old court­ | house of New Chelsea was crowded on n certain day In May. past the point of mere discomfort. The voice of the defendant’s counsel rose and fell. lie wns something of an actor, and he put a deal of con­ vincing pnsslou into Ids words. In New Chelsea oratory Is still loved. The audience hung intent, almost breathless, on the scene enacted before them. They had the feeling of being not spectators, bur participants In the little drama. Perhaps they were, for It wns the trial of Jim Sheehan. Senator Murchell wns nut listening to the speech. He was intently regard­ ing the, set profile across the counsel . table nnrt mcnsnrlng the inau he saw there against the boyish. eager and very likeable young man whom, al­ most a year before, a little boss and a big had sought to press Into their service. John Dunmeade had grown One saw that in the already grave, al most sad. Hues of his face. Work and thought and responsibility and pur­ pose—nnd something else of which the senator had no Inkling—had set their stamp upon him. There hnd been no lack of accom­ plishment during the five months of office bolding. To this truth eloquent witnesses night have been called— Butch Maley nnd Red Bricker, al­ ready serving terms in the peniten­ tiary; Slayton, a fugitive, bail forfeit­ ed; Brown and Parsons, free only pending appeal; and now Sheehan, his fate hanging in tbe balance. The ma­ chine. Senator Murchell knew, would be rebuilt better and stronger than ever, but for the present it was sadly, sadly out of gear. He let his glance stray from John to the defendant Sheehan sat slouched In his chair in nn attitude that he vainly sought to render jaunty, couil lent His cheeks bad fallen in slight ly. his eyelids were puffy nnd red rim med. His mouth bung flabbily. His bands played nervously with n piece oi paper. Whlttredge. the famous lawyer brought from Steel City to defend Shoehnn. brought his brilliant peroration to a close. The audience relapsed into nn expectant silence, al) eyes fixed on the district attorney. For n moment he remained as be hnd sat throughout tin* plea for the defbnse, motionless, lean­ ing a little forward and staring fixedly at tho wall behind the judge, as though he snw a vision. The moment ended. He rose nnd stood before the jury box, first nd dressing the court He smiled gravely at the jurors.

Then the smile faded from his lips and eyes, replaced by r 'look to which his neighbors went growing nc ctistomed. He began to speak. “Gentlemen of the jury, what I have to d is not pleasant But there Is n thing called duty." As tbe first words fell Murchell's In­ terest leaped.

A half hour later the buzz of roarer sation suddenly censed. The judge wnr returning to the bench. Sheehan, with Whlttredge and Murchell, took his seat by the table. They were fol­ lowed by John.

Think of home, and the mind in­ stinctively wanders back to the old town, the quiet street, the spacious grounds, the cottage hidden among the trees, the gravel walk, the old well, the flowers in bloom, and the air laden with the fragrance of spring. As the closing day casts its shadow s ever tho world, fading rays of the de­ clining sun pierce through the lat­ ticed windows, and over cradled In­ nocence a mother croons her lullaby. As the breaking dawn calls to activity the waking world, we see him on whom, for her, age never descends —we see them as, locked in each other’s embrace, they stroll down the garden walk. Leaning over the gate, he implants upon her brow a parting kisar As he passes from view, we see her wave aloft her embracing arm, and from the distance comes bis re­ sponse. We say: There is a home. And so it is. It Is not necessary that It be sump­ tuous to be a home. It is only neces­ sary that Love reign therein. It is not necessary that it be poor to be a home. It is only important that Kindness shall be the ruling spirit A nation that ignores the welfare and the happiness of the home is a nation doomed. Men do not defend tenements. The only excuse for government and law Is to maintain the possibility of the home. We need not machinemade homes nor machine-made men. For the home we need only Justice to make it possible, Peace to make it whole, Kindness to make It inviting, Companionship to make it blest. Love to make It holy, nnd the laughter of a little child to make It divine.—Oma­ ha Chancellor. Business Cards If □=— Pbone im G. W.

Tho claim made by republicans and progressives that Wilson received less votes tJian Taft and Roosevelt, showing a majority vote agnirfsl the democratic candidate, which if cast for one candidate would have elected a republican,1 Is farfetched. Neither Taft or Roosevelt could have polled that majority, nor could a third man on tbe republican ticket. There were thousands of republicans who had become disgusted with tho republican jaarty, as the vote of 1910 shows and Were castin.': a democratic vote, first ns a protest against the machine methods, and second, In the belief that a change would better conditions and relieve from the rule of trusts’. These men voted In 1912 a demo­ cratic ticket with thousands who joined thorn in tho last election. There were also thousands of demo­ crats who voted for Roosevelt under the delusion that he was the Moses to lead them out of the wilderness. These men in a two candidate elec­ tion would have voted a straight democratic ticket, -had Taft or a third man been the only opposing nominee; or if Roosevelt had been the choice at the first convention at Chicago, one half at least of the Taft vote would have been cast for the democratic nominee. The "get to­ gether slogan,” while commendable Is not strengthened by tho false claim of a majority, against the democratic party. Either horn of the dilema the republican stand-pat and pro­ gressives are in will not help them ont df the hole they have been placed in by pinning their faith to Joe Cannonlsm, or Geo. W. Perkins, reformer. Why Not Bryan? J ■ Bryan as secretory of state under Wilson Is nothing more than could be expected. Wm. H. Seward in 1860 was practically' accepted as the re­ publican candidate before the didate for the presidency, before the convention, but was defeated by Lincoln. The first man In Lincoln q who defeated his nomination for the the bitter opposition of Thurlow Weed. Horace Greeley and others, who defeated his nomination for the presidency. Seward was the idol oi bls party, the brainy leader of the ” crusade against slavery; he was the trusted advisor of the president, and jointly with Lincoln the de facto adiinlrtration. Mr. Bryan i. the brainy leader of the crusade against -the graft and craft of the money trust and big Interests. He stands m. Se­ ward did. with the people and by education and intuition, coupled with honest purpose, he stands today first ■in the minds of all, as the real lead­ er of his part}’. If chosen by Wil­ son, and there seems but little dpubt he will be, the president-elect will be but following out the wishes of the people who made It possible for him th be president. We have faith in, Wilson '• we have faith in Bryan; both have proven their ability and their willingness to carry on the work of returing so far as possible to the plain mandates of the constitution and the Jefferson­ ian motto of "Equal rights to all, special privileges to none.” Democrats of Michigan have a pret­ ty good demonstration of what party strife does to a party by noting its ef­ fect on the republican party in this state. Better let bygones be bygones, and be good. • How would it do to organize a tax­ payers’ association, and after twentyfive years retire them on a pension? It wouldn't be any more ridiculous than any other of.the civil law pen­ sions being agitated. Whenever the government goes to probing the trusts the magnates take passage for Europe or some other for­ eign land. How would it do to pro­ mulgate an edict against their return?

No reduced prices in this store can beany* thing but a bargain in the finest sense of the word, because our regular prices are always bargains.

It provided prison punishment for offering for sale the securities of any fraudulent concern. The introducer of the measure claimed (hat iu his own county tens of thousands of dollars worth of stock of this sort had been sold, and most of it to men and women of limited means, and more limited information and business experience. Possibly the riotous days of “alkali” and "cornstalks” are ended in Pennsylvania, but what of the commercial bunco games that are being worked in Michigan where they tickle the credulity of men and laugh with Hs harvest of dollars 1 Are your dollars so loosely held that they can be tkkkd into laughter by the peddler's wand, give up their toll through the bucket­ shop, lured into “securities” of prospective value, or are they having their part in the development of the community in which yon live, are they safe In some strong bank, like the Hastings National Bank Only National Bank in Barry County where Government supervision, the integrity of management, and more than $750,000 of assets guarantee their return to yomprinclnal and in­ terest, ON DEMAND! Verily it Is BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY ! To Vote on Lighting Plant This Spring. The proceedings of the last meeting of tbe common council, published in this issue, will be of especial Interest to the taxpayers of this city. By tho resolution passed unanimously by the aidermen present, the question of bonding the city tor a sum not to ex­ ceed $90,000, for the purpose of In­ stalling a steam electric light and power plant in connection with tho water works, will be submitted to the voters at the spring election. The resolution provides for tbe pay­ ment of these bonds at the rate of $6,000 a year until they are all retired. It is not thought by the superintend­ ent of water work and others who have been looking into the matter that it will be necessary to expend the full amount of $90,000' authorized in the resolution, but the council have placed these figures at a sufficient!}' high limit to cover all possible cost. It may not be necessary to issue bonds to the full amount. . Evidently the question is on import­ ant one and should be carefully con­ sidered in all its bearings. WDeox. The funeral of Mrs. Chas. Wilcox occurred Tuesday, Feb. 4, at the family*residence in Rutland. Friends and relatives attended from Hastings, Grand Rapids, Middleville and Irving. The service was conducted by Rev. F. J. Betts of Hastings. Mrs. Betts sang two beautiful solos. Mrs. Wilcox was well known throughout the county, and because of her happy, sunshiny disposition was loved by all who knew her. Her home-going Is a great loss to the com­ munity in which she lived. Eliza Jane Hail was born in St. Joe county, Indiana, Nov. 30, 1858. and passed from this life at midnight Feb. 1, 1913, aged 54 years, 2 months, and £ days. In 1868 her parents moved to Mich­ igan, Rutland township, where she lived until united in marriage to Chas. Wilcox June 15, 1876, coming as a bride to the home where she lived un­ til she passed into the great beyond. She leaves to mourn her loss, a hus­ band and a son, Earl, two sisters, a brother and a host of friends. STRIKER SCHOOL. Mrs. Clyde Kesler spent Sunday at Delbert Reynolds'.

Rome.—Extraordinary revelations are made of the mode of life of Fran­ cis-Charles of Bourbon, prince of Cap­ ua, who is seventy-five and has lived a madman's life for forty years in the Villa Marl la Capannori. For several years now ho has not spoken, having apparently been struck deaf and dumb In an apoplectic seizure. Every morn­ ing at 8 a servant knocks at tho door of the prince's bed-chamber and hur­ riedly placer, the breakfast tray—a sumptuous repast—through a sliding window inside the room. The prince jumps out of bed naked, throws a toga around his shoulders, and hides till tho domestic has disappeared. He cannot bear any one to see him. He has neither shaved, had his hair cut, washed or cut bls nails within the memory of his oldest retainers. For­ merly, if he saw any one approaching hjm, he would make the most terrible noise, but nowadays, unable to give vent to his feelings thus, he claws at the air in front of him and lashes out with his fists, though the intru­ ders may be one hundred yards or more away. But the most remarkable perform­ ance takes effect after breakfast. Day after day, year in and year out, no matter what the weather is like, the unfortunate old man rushes stark naked out of the room, down the cor­ ridor, across the terrace of the villa When a man is past the earning age in life and has not accumulated anything he always looks back and thinks of the dollars that have slipped through his fingures and says, “IF” I had only saved some of them sol could enjoy life during my declining years. -:Start a savings account with this bank and enjoy the fruit of your effort when your earning power has stopped. $1.00 Opens An Account g Hastings• City Bank _ - .

Some are flours of medium quality selling as high priced flours; some are good flours selling at good prices and there is the flour that is the best but sells fora moder­ ate price. The cause for the best flour selling for a moderate price is due to the efficiency of the mill, its owners and workmen. White Lily Flour * Is made by a mill where the efficiency is at its highest.

Another splendid sermon was list­ ened to last Sabbath morning. Rev. McClure took for his text the first verse of the sixth chapter of Second Corinthians. He said, "We are Christ’s embassadors. He speaks through them to tho world, and it is only through His free grace that we are saved. Then, if this be so, we are responsible for the way in which we use this free gift Do you sup­ pose that if you were drafted to sent in the army, and another man stepped up and said, I’ll go In your stead, and he was shot and killed, that you would ever forget to love, revere, and extoll him, I think not, if ydu did yoq would be very Inhuman. So It is with the free gift of God’s own curaed earth. If God gave his son for you and for me. what shall we say When we come to die if we reject His offered mercy." Rev.

San Francisco.—Suppose you lived in a blistering bit of a Central Ameri­ can village, with the jungle steaming on one aide of you and the sea blaz­ ing endlessly on the other, with smelly kerosene lamps for Illumina­ tion and tho luxuries of life fewer than you'd expect to find In an Ari­ zona adobe. And then suppose a tidal wave came along and smashed things up pretty generally, but ended by picking up a fine big steamer and washing her over the bar into shoal water near the beach, leaving her there high and dry. The funny thing about this particu­ lar story, however, is that It is true, says a writer. It actually happened. It was along about four years ago that the steamer Osiris of the Hos­ inos line of San Francisco was lying off Oeos, Guatemala, when an earth­ quake shook that part of the world and was followed by a tidal wave big enough to pick up the steamship as If she had been a fishing smack and carry her over the Intervcniag sand banks to a point near the beach, where It dropped her neatly ^between two reefs Just sufficiently far apart to provide her with a comfortable girdle. When her crew left her, judging her to be ot no further use. a citizen of Ocos, who had some experience of civilized life, rowed out to the unin­ jured wreck and cast a speculative eye over her contents. Later, be sent to Mexico for the necessary mate­ rials, and proceeded to form the Ocos Electric Light and Power company. Ocos took the hook all the Way down Its gullet—and then struggled for more. To think of having a real elec­ tric lighting plant! It was hardly to ba believed. And every citizen of Ocos lorded It over the citizens of the other village seaports along the Guatemalan coast which could not boast such munificent luxury. Then, behold, as Joy and pride were at their height, what should happen but a brief communication to the Ocos Electric Light and Power company from the Kosmos line of San Fran­ cisco, stating that salvage operations would shortly be begun with an idea of getting the undamaged hull of the Osiris Into deep water, so that she might resume her peregrinations along the Pacific coast. Can you Imagine the grief in Ocos? Can you conceive tho misery of the mayor, who saw his streets deprived ot their glowing decorations and em­ blems of progress? It baa been almost too great a bur­ den of disappointment for Ocos to bear. They have seen their source of illumination cut off, the salvage crew at work on the lighting plant's regen­ eration, presently they will even be obliged to witness its actual depar­ ture. Although the story of the Osiris stands alone for tragic interest, there are other instances on record of ships carried ashore and used for purposes foreign to the builders' intentions. Perhaps the most noted case is that of the United Stalos steam sloop-ofwar Wateree. which was washed ashore by a tidal wave at Arica. Chill, under circumstances almost identical to those attending the wrecking of the Osiris. It was soon seen that it was impos­ sible to get tho Wateree off; It would have cost far moro than the vessel was worth. So she was abandoned by the crew and sold for old junk. But Instead of breaking her up thn Chilian who bought her had imagination enough to see what a splendid chance be had to make really big money out of her as a curiosity. So he fitted the Wateree up as a hotel, cafe and restauftint. leaving her hull just as it was. however, and his quaint es­ tablishment soon became a recognized pilgrimage for all pleasure seekers In the vicinity. bat tb„ habit or snulBng tbu drug “m" “> “She in Now York city are hundreds hnvo be­ comethere victim, through awho mereXta- PAGE ELEVEN New Embroideries, Insertions, Flouncings and Allovers Embroidery Insertions 4c to 40c priced per yd Coat Specials It is remarkable the number of Coats we are selling.

Vol. 2, No. 12. LEGAL STATUS OF MICHIGAN WOMEN COMPLETE AND INSTRI’CTIVE PA­ PER READ BY BON. P. T. COLGROVE AT WOMEN’S CLUB. He Shows How Lows of Mlchlgaa Are In Most Instances Favorable Io Women Rather Than Mem The Hastings Women’s Club met in the council rooms on Friday after­ noon, the seventh. The meeting was opened by reading the Club Woman's Collect; during the business session Mrs. Norton Paton was accepted as an associate member of the club and Mrs. Nellie Godfrey withdrew from active membership. A resolution begging our senators and representatives to vote against any change in the present national forestry law whereby the in­ dividual states would have charge of their own forest reserves and where­ by the homestead law might become obligatory 'rather than optional with the forest service was endorsed by the club. After a short intermission, Mrs. Ed­ ward Burton took charge of Ahc pro­ gram. Miss Marguerite Matthews sang two delightful songs, Miss Burch playing her accompaniment. Mrs. Burton then introduced Hon. Philip T. Colgrove who spoke to the club on •'The Legal Status of Michigan Wom­ en.” Mr. Colgrove's paper contained ■o much of general interest that the Journal-Herald has been glad to print it in full. Many explanations and il­ lustrations were given which of neces­ sity are left out at this time. The club voted Mr. Colgrove its thanks for the exhaustive research he had made in its behalf. It would be an easy task to tell you, with little or no preparation, the leg^l status of women in Michigan under the constitution and existing taws. But back of the constitution and the statute lies a force whose vitality and undying energy has made possible to­ day’s condition as affecting the legal b-tanding of women in Michigan. The women of the state created this force and almost alone have fought their battles in the face of opposition, ridi­ cule and despair in order to gain the present vantage ground. This history becomes, therefore, an Important part of the legal status she now enjoys. Progress in human development, lib­ erty, and action, the growth of public conscience and ideals are not pro­ duced mysteriously by subtle powers or from vague sources but from knowledge and progressive action. It is to the men and women who Ln ad­ vance of public sentiment have seen the vision, and seeing, urged the prin­ ciple with steadfast vigor, that you owe much for your present legal stat­ us. Time does not permit me to give even a brief history of the early strug­ gles and the work accomplished by the able women of Michigan who com­ menced their endeavors as early as 1846 and In their struggle for co-edu­ cation and the admission of women to our universities became at once tha starting point for an upward trend in public thought which has found favor in the legislature of our state and re­ sulted in a constant enlargement of the legal rights of women. Michigan today is one of the seven states, and Indeed the seventh, to grant partial suffrage to taxpaying women. It is no part of this paper to discuss woman suffrage or the history of the strug­ gles of the women of Michigan through their various leagues to ac­ quire this coveted position. In order to give a correct history of the legal status of women in Michigan I must of necessity first refer to the consti­ tution of 1908. because this instru­ ment giy®s you certain rights that can not be disturbed. Section 4, ar­ ticle 3, reads as follows: ■‘When­ ever any question is submitted to i> vote of the electors which involves the direct expenditure of public money or the issue of bonds, every woman having the qualifications of male electors who have property as­ sessed for taxes In any part of the district or territory to be affected by the result of said election, shall be entitled to vote therein.” This is a new' section. Even' woman, there­ fore, in Michigan, 21 years old who has a legal residence in the district may vote on all questions involving the direct expenditure of public money or the Issue of bonds provid­ ing she has property assessed for taxes, no matter how little or how much, whether real or personal. Our new constitution made little changes over the old except In phraseology ns to our exemption laws in which women have a vital interest. Sec­ tion 1 of Article 14 provides that the personal property of every resident of this state to constat of such prop­ erty as shall be designated by taw shall be exempted to the amount of not less than |500 from sale by exe­ cution or other process of court. It will be noted this section provides that the personal property of every resi­ dent of this state which means, of course, women as well as men, shall be exempt. Section 2 of the same article provides that every homestead of not exceeding 40 acres of land and the dwelling house thereon or In­ stead thereof, at the option of the owner, any lot in any city, village or recorded town plat and the dwelling house thereon owned and occupied by any resident of the state not ex­ ceeding in value $1500 shall be ex­ empt from forced sale by execution or any other final process from a court. Such exemption shall not ex­ tend to any mortgage thereon law­ fully obtained but such mortgage or other alienation of such land by the owner thereof, if a married man, shall not be valid without the signature of his wife to the same. This means that any conveyance or incumbrance placed upon the homestead without the wife's signature shall be void. A little later we shall see that if the title is reversed and the fee is In the wife, she can sell, mortgage or dispose of the homestead without taking her husband into her confidence. Section 3 of the same article provides that the homestead of a family after the death of the owner shall be exempt from-the payment of his debts In all cases dur­ ing the minority of his children.

The round-up meeting, the annual gathering of tillers of the soil front all parts of the county was pulled off Friday and Saturday. President E. H. Lathrop, called the meeting to order nt ten o'clock, giving a short address. There was a slim attend­ ance but as tlie time wore on a fair sized audience were present and en­ joyed quite an interesting talk on forage crops by Peter Voorheis, of Pontiac, conductor. Mr. V. lias had a long experience. Is himself an ex­ pert chemist and has In the past made scientific farming a practice. His remarks on raising the legumes from cow peas to the Ideal forage, alfalfa was full of rtsports of his o.wn success as a farmer. His ultimatum was however the practical conclusion that humus as well as fertilizers bought at $24 per ton, was essential, in fact the great factor in the discus­ sion which followed and questions asked brought out many points of in­ terests to all fanners. It ran through a rotation of crops, to the proper tilling of soil, to preparing the seed bed and sowing the seed; bis ex­ perience being for both spring and fall sowing of grass seed including alfalfa. The absence of V. C. Plummer who was to take up Selection and Breed­ ing of seed corn, gave ample time to have a full discussion of the foragj crop subject In the afternoon Mr. Voorheis took up the alfalfa subject again, confin­ ing himself entirely to Its cultivation, and Intense interest was manifested; he started in with the preparation of the field, what would be required tor a successful effort First he gave it out that alfalfa like any other crop, must have rich soil to make its grow­ ing a success, rich in humus and plant food, clear as possible of weeds or grass, especially that of June grass the only grass which that can beet the popular legume. If not already innoculated, it must bo done by soli from some field where alfalfa or sweet clover is growing luxuriantly. He preferred this method of Innoculatlon, as it proved to him and his neighbors the most reliable. The big crops of five and six tons to the acre was rarely realized in Michigan; a two ton to two and a half for the first cutting and one and a half for the second was about all that could be looked for; the third cutting tn some seasons or where good growth had attained made an excellent substitute for dry pasturing to be cut as it was to be used for that purpose. It can­ not be pastured without serious Injury, it is sometimes improved greatly by disking In the spring when the ground is perfectly dry. The discussion which followed showed great interest. The Glass Creek Grange Orchestra gave a selection which was duly ap­ preciated. Mr. Voorheis demonstrated his ability for “general purpose” by tak­ ing up seed corn. Its selection and breeding, and in commercial fertiliz­ ing, but it was plain to be seen th? speaker relied on the good old barn­ yard production for a promoter of growth. G. L. Codman, of the Portland Ce­ ment Co., of Chicago, gave a lecture on the use of cement by farmers, with stereopticon views of various farm buildings. The evening meeting was fairly welly attended, the subjects being “Agricultural Education”' by Peter Voorheis, and "The Benefit of Sani­ tary Surroundings Upon the Health of the Home” by Dr. R. L, Dixon, of Lansing, secretary of state board of health. Small grains as money crops was taken up by Mr. Voorheis Saturday morning. There was quite a wide divergence of opinion In the discus­ sion which followed. V. C. Plummer who was to have assisted In the program was unable to be present on account of illness, and Mr. Voorheis proved equal to the emergency as a supply. A. Bentail, of Northport, took up the subject of making the old orchard pay; he was interesting and listened to throughout Good and scientific pruning, thorough spraying and above all generous feeding of the soil, and clean cultivation, not plowing and breaking up the roots, but disking and using a grubhoe around the body of the tree to remove the sod, Augusl first as near as possible, sow some kind of cover crop: In his section hairy vetch being preferred.

Grade your npplctt for market; a halt dozen defective or small apples will spoil the looks and sale of an other­ wise fine basket of auples. A chorus of grade pupils of the city schools directed by Miss Fetter, gave several selections which were applauded. J. O. Linton, of the Agricultural College, failed io be present and Chas. Maywood of the city took up th? poultry question. This was followed By a short talk by A. Bentall on fanners getting together for business. His talk was good but he did no: emphasize the importance of the so­ cial center In every school district, that cf the school house, where every other Friday there should be a com­ ing together of parents, school chil­ dren, teacher and other residents and spend the time in the discussing farm topics, news of the day, political and otherwise.

Community of interest will be fol­ lowed by community of action, and the professional political agitator will be without a job. The following named persons were appointed for officials for the follow­ ing year: County president, W. H. Otis; secretary, Ray G. Brumm; town­ ship conductors, D. R. Wotring, A. T. Shepard, A. C. Stiles, Ernest Cadwailadcr, Marion Warner, Clifford Lau­ der, R. I. Wolcott, F. J. Lawrence, F. E. Otis, W. R. Harper, W. J. De­ Lano, Harry Mason, Clark Robinson. A. M. Nevins, Irving Fry J. T.

A UTTLE BABE BURIIEDJO nun NINE MONTHS OLD DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS. H. SPRINGER WAS VICTIM. Cradle In Which Child Was Sleeping Was Moved Too Near Hot Steve From Whleh It Caoght Fire. '■ Tuesday afternoon, while the nine months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Springer, of the first ward was asleep In her cradle she was so badly, burned that death came to her relief on Wednesday morning. The particulars so far as we have been able to glean them are as fol­ lows: The child lay asleep in the cradle in a room In which stood a beating stove. It was one of the old fashioned cradles on rockers and It is thought that the children moved the cradle too near the stove and becom­ ing overheated It caught fire. The lit­ tle body was badly burned but strange to say there were no marks of fire on the little face. The funeral* will be held Friday at ten o'clock and the remains will be taken to Yankee Springs cemetery for burial. The family have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. Very Complimentary. In speaking of Mr. Fred A. Bush, the new manager of the advertising and circulation department of the Journai-Herald, the Belding Banner gives him the following compliment­ ary notice: Fred A. Bush who has been one of the Bunner force the post ten year* has severed his connection with the Banner Publishing Co. and entered the employ of the Journal-Herald Publishing Company, of Hastings, as solicitor and advertising man. Mr. Bush has the qualification to make good nnd his many friends here hope to see him succeed in his new position. The boys of Fortuna Lodge, K. of P. gave him a farewell reception with a smoker attached, in their hall Friday night nt which about fifty were pres­ ent and a royal good time was tbe re­ sult He was presented with a fine pair of cuff links engraved with the em­ blem of the order, by Oscar F. Web­ ster in behalf of the members to which Mr. Bush responded In his usual characteristic nnd excellent way. Tlie Banner force bestowed upon him just before taking his leave from the office, a fine fountain pen. Sophie N. Strathearn, national pat­ riotic instructor of the Woman's Re­ lief Corps, suggests that the American flag should be unfurled on all public buildings and by all who own flags on the following holidays: Washington's nnd Lincoln's birthday, Memorial day, July 4th and Flag day.

Wespinter PLUMBING HEATING A wonderful city, within a city, built for the comfort and convenience of the traveling public. The main Grand Central Ter­ minal Building in New York is now open to the public. This vast improvement is more than a great railway Terminal—it is a Terminal City, complete in itself, providing every detail essential to comfort and convenience. It will embrace convention, amusement and exhibition halls, hotels, clubs and restaurants; post office, express offices, modern apart­ ment and office buildings, and num­ erous stores and specialty shops. Grand Central Terminal is the Heart of New York. At Fortysecond Street and Park Avenue (Fourth Avenue), one block from Fifth Avenue and convenient to Broadway. It is the only Terminal on all lines of local traffic—subway, sur­ face and elevated. More than 7,000 cars pass its doors every day, afford­ ing dksy transit facilities to any part of Greater New York. Around it, and within a radius of a few blocks, are forty-nine hotels, fifty­ eight clubs and thirty-five theatres. Three new lines of underground transportation are now building to Grand Central Terminal, and soon there will be six levels for human traffic in Forty-second Street. Underneath the Terminal City and its streets are 33 miles of rail­ way tracks on two separate levels, the upper for Through Service and the lower for Suburban Service. Each level forms a complete ter­ minal in itself, separate entrances and exits, with equal facilities for the comfort of passengers. Both levels are reached by gently inclined walks. No stair climbing, and no confusion, since incoming and outgoing traffic is separated. Ticket, Pullman, Baggage and other facilities are progressively ar­ ranged from waiting room to train, no step need be retraced. Plan your trip East over the New York Central Lines; enjoy restful sleep on the ‘ ‘ Water Level Route, ’ ’ three hours of picturesque grandeur along the historic Hudson and enter The Heart of New York City SOME FEATURES OF GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL— THE LARGEST RAILWAY TERMINAL IN THE WORLD.

Beumer PNM M2 New Grand Central Terminal G. W. Wespinter PLUMBING HEATING A wonderful city, within a city, built for the comfort and convenience of the traveling public. The main Grand Central Ter­ minal Building in New York is now open to the public. This vast improvement is more than a great railway Terminal—it is a Terminal City, complete in itself, providing every detail essential to comfort and convenience. It will embrace convention, amusement and exhibition halls, hotels, clubs and restaurants; post office, express offices, modern apart­ ment and office buildings, and num­ erous stores and specialty shops. Grand Central Terminal is the Heart of New York. At Fortysecond Street and Park Avenue (Fourth Avenue), one block from Fifth Avenue and convenient to Broadway. It is the only Terminal on all lines of local traffic—subway, sur­ face and elevated. More than 7,000 cars pass its doors every day, afford­ ing dfcsy transit facilities to any part of Greater New York. Around it, and within a radius of a few blocks, are forty-nine hotels, fifty­ eight clubs and thirty-five theatres. Three new lines of underground transportation are now building to Grand Central Terminal, and soon there will be six levels for human traffic in Forty-second Street. Underneath the Terminal City and its streets are 33 miles of rail­ way tracks on two separate levels, the upper for Through Service and the lower for Suburban Service. Each level forms a complete ter­ minal in itself, separate entrances and exits, with equal facilities for the comfort of passengers. Both levels are reached by gently inclined walks. No stair climbing, and no confusion, since incoming and outgoing traffic is separated.

Mulholland. Edward A. Burton HELPS TO CAPTURE BURGLAR Youngster and Companion Follow a Robber Half a Mile and March Him to Jail. Kansas City.—Perhaps the fact that his father is a deputy sheriff had something to do with George Breyfogle, fourteen years olfi, overcoming his boyish fears long enough to take a leading put in the capture of a bur­ glar, found In the Breyfogle home at Overland Park, Kaa., a suburb of Kan­ sas City. Other members of the fam­ ily were away from the house when George and a companion, Harvey Has­ ner, also fourteen years old, entered. They heard some one moving upstairs. “Shucks, It ean’t be nothing,” Brey­ fogle said, *^he folks ain’t home yet** A window was raised and the boys saw a man drop from an upstairs win­ dow and run. The boys seized shot­ guns and followed. After a half-mile ran they halted the man and marched him to a constable, who took him tt» jail. The house had been ransacked, but the arrival of the boys prevented the burglar from taking the loot he had gathered together.

Short Ballot System. The agitation for a shorter and more comprehensive ballot system la not confined to Michigan. Several other states arc taking up the dis­ cussion and legislative action. Of course there is ant! will be opposi­ tion, some of it from honest conviction and some by the political barnacle, who sees in the new order of things a jar, to his self appointed dictator­ ship. One of the stock arguments against the change to a more com­ prehensive method of voting is “It does not give the right to vote for each and every official In state and county." Of course this reasoning Is from a false premise. The same total of power Is still with the voter. If he votes for president and vice-president, the average voter will not remembei five days after who were named as presidential electors on the ballot he cast; he cast It for the man his party had nominated when he voted the state ticket, his choice for governor represented his sentiments regardless of who else might be on the ticket. It Is popularly supposed, though er­ roneously so, that the governor !•» responsible for administration. Such is not the case, the governor Is help­ less to carry out reforms, lower tax rates and secure efficient adminis­ tration under the present system of nomination and election of state of­ ficials. Under a system making the several administrative offices appoint­ ive the governor would have the pow­ er to control the administration of affairs. It would concentrate the power of the voter in the selection of a governor, the only officer In mind, when the voter steps in the booth. It leaves out the occupation of the party boss, It takes away the control of the machinery by which he can foist Into office the creature of his will on the wave of a popular candi­ date for governor. Merit rather than pertyism will control; result will be leas cost for elections; less graft and better service. . We are pleased to note the gov­ ernor and the senate of Michigan arc favoring the Odell bill, which pro­ vides for the submission to the peo­ ple of a constitutional amendment, which will conform to tbe short bal­ lot idea. Old Guard la the Saddle. Like the favorites of Napoleon the “old guard never jurrenaers." This applies to the Taft republicans of Barry county. They met in conven­ tion last FrMay. A small room half filled In ore corner of tbe court house contained the remnant of tbe once victorious host, which at one time ruled as with an Iron hand the Offices and perquisites of party pa­ tronage. The strident voices and generous applause, indicated a unity of thought and purpose. The usual machinery of a convention was set in motion, and when the resolutions were reached, amid great enthusiasm they were adopted without an I being dotted or a t crossed. Taft’s admin­ istration was indorsed with the state­ ment that history would show him to have been one of the greatest presi­ dents. Of course It was not stated whether It was physical or mental weight that was meant In the word "greatest." It was not necessary to hand the chairman a list for commit­ tee appointments, and after a little more lubrication by the ex-prosecu­ tor the following delegates to the state convention were named, viz.: William W. Potter, P. T. Colgrove, A. A. Anderson, W. L. Thorpe. Charles H. Osborne, C. L. Glasgow, W. H. Shantz, E. V. Smith, Glenn Blake, Elbert Norris, C. S. Palmerton, Wil­ liam Chase and Philo Sheldon. P. S. The bull moose were attend­ ing the Farmers’ Institute in the ad­ joining court room, apparently oblivi­ ous to the vita) question of life or death of the G. O. P. The Text Boek Problem. The fact that the school book pub­ lishers have a corps of Ibobylsts at Lansing's, who are button-holing the legislators, shows to what extent these Interests are being exorcised. The people of the state have paid millions of dollars to these book pub­ lishing companies, and whether It is free text books, or uniform text books, or the present haphazard law continued, there' should be some way by which the books used could be purchased us cheap In this state as In other states. The advantage of uniformity of text books Is that children going from on-j section of the county to another, would not be compelled to buy a new bet of books. Free text books would not be sanitary. The uniformity of books would come nearer to nn Ideal measure, but the law should regulate the price, or the job of purchasing supplies of tills kind might be mad a the duty of the stale board of educa­ tion.

Lesson Theme :a The Call of Abram. Golden Text: Gen. 12:2. Introductory. * We now begin the study of that portion of the Scriptures which in­ troduces something new, something different than we have studied so fur in the Book of Genesis. God had dealt with an individual, then with a family in testing the race; now He begins dealing with a Nation. TIwl testing of Adam resulted In judgment. that of Noah likewise, God’s grace comes to the rescue again, and Abram is called to be tbe father of a Nation through which God will bless all nations. The rest of the Old Testament is taken up with this na­ tion (Israel,) while Abraham is men­ tioned 74 times in the New Testa­ ment Lesson Divisions. I. God’s Call, 1-3. II. Abram’s Response, 4-9. The Outline Developed. Read Romans 4, Gal. 3; John 8:56, Hebrews 11:8 and Acts 7:1-4 by way of preparation for a largo understand­ ing of this lesson. Read also the Scripture found between our last les­ son nnd this one, wherein is set forth the prophetic utterances of Noah (9.) the generations of Noah's Sons (10,) the Judgment of confusion of tongues (11:1-9,) then tbe follow­ ing up of the line of Shem (11:10-26,) until the "generations of Terah" nrc Introduced (11:27.) From Acts 7:2-4 we learn that God appeared unto Abram while he was in Mesopotamia, before he had come into Harnn (Gen. 11:31, 32.) Notice 12:1 “had said." God called Abram to leave (1) coun­ try (2) kindred, (3) family, complete separation (2 Cor. 6:17.) He was to go to a land unknown to him (Heb. 11:8) “by faith." with nothing but the Word of God. Faith delights in the Word. Abram partially obeyed (11: > 31.) So do many Christians. Stop­ ping at Haran (their mountain; parched.) as some do today stop al their mountains (obstacles) and test­ ings (1 Peter 4:12,) Abram wasted tho time until his father Terab (De­ lay) died, when Abram obeyed God. Notice that mingled with God's call was promise. Promise of blesslnp. and of Abram’s being a blessing unto “all families of the earth." Study these verses carefully in the light of other Scriptures and see how literally these promises have been fulfilled. God made a nation of him (Israel;) blessed him; made Ills name groat: made him a blessing. The Inst clause of verse 3 looks forward to his seed, Christ, (Gal. 3:16.) “So Abram departed,” this tint“as Ihr* Lord hnd spoken unto him.” Lot went “with him," he went with the Lord. Inside the land (verse 6. < enemies are found, the Canaanite. Rattles are to be fought with th? world, the flesh, and lhe devil, after entering the Christian life by faith In the shed blood of Christ. The Lord appeared again to Abram, with a promise not only of blessing, but this time of the land (verse 7.) Abram's response includes worship us well as obedience. With Bethel (house of God) on one side nnd Hal (Ruins) on tho other. Abram builds an altar unto the Lord. "Go. and do thou ' likewise." Himself nt one time nn * Idolater (Josh. 24:2,) he has now ' "turned to God from Idols to servo ' tho living nnd true God” (1 Tlies. 1: 9;) yen, "And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead (Abraham's son Isaac, ‘n type, Gen. 22.) even Jesus, which dolivered us from the wrath to come." Precious Points. 12:1 "Now the Lord,” (R. V. “Now Jehovah.’’) Jehovah is Jesus. Com­ pare 1:1 "In the beginning God," also I 3:1 "Now the serpent." God’s work ] "very good;1’ Satan's bringing curse. I Jesus* neutralizing again (Hob. 2:11 I R. V.) 12:2 "make thy name great.’ Abram descended from Shorn. Rend 9:26. Shem means "Name." Through lino of Shem God revealed Himself, to the line of Shorn God committed the revoiihition of His name (Ex. 3:15.) "Make thy name great." Called the "Friend of God” three times in Bible—2 Chr. 20:7; Is. 41:$: James 2:23. Compare John IpiTfi. 12:3 first clause. See hTstory of Israel for many fulfillments. Last clause. God's purpose Io bless ca­ tions through Israel. As a natidn Israel failed, nnd Is set aside tempo­ rarily, bringing blessing to lhe Gen­ tiles (Roin. 11:11, 12.) They are to be restore:!, and will be a blessing yet (Roni. 11:15.) 12:4 "So Abram departed." Obedi­ ence is better than sacrifice." 12:7 vision of God follows obedi­ ence. Also inspired worship. 12:8 "bullded an altar." Is there in your home an altar, and are you there calling "upon the name of the Lord,” and wailing fcr His appearing? Mrs. S. S. S., VanBuren St., Kings­ ton. N. Y., (full name furnished on ap­ plication) had such decided benefit from using Foley’s Honey & Tar Com­ pound that she shares her good for­ tune with others.

At Gettysburg In July. Who are these Grand Army vet­ erans thnt object to the presence of tho Confederate uniform at tho Gettysburg celebration in July which will mark the civil war? They may be good men, but they are sadly misguided . Surely none of them could have been with Reynolds and Buford and Wads­ worth in that desperate flrat day’s fighting whicl made this peaceful lit­ tle Pennsylvania town the turning point of the rebellion. They ennnot have fought in Birney’s Division on that disastrous second day. when Longstreet crumpled dp Sickles's Corps and left the fate of the nation hanging by a thread. They cannot have been with War­ ren and Vincent in thnt death grappie which ended only when Hood’s men were finally driven from Little Round Top. It was there that O.Rourke, the pride of his class at West Point, was killed nt the head of the One Hundred' and Fortieth New York. No survivor of that regiment would make such a protest. They cannot have belonged to the First Minnesota, which earned a place al! its own that day in the Valhalla of heroes, or to the Fifth New Hamp­ shire, which lost more in killed than In wounded, among Its dead being Col; Cross, who used to boast that 1:1s regiment dared not go back with­ out orders. They cannot have been with George Stannard's Vermont Brigade, or have seen the mortally wounded Cushing, who commanded a batttery of ar­ tillery, fire a Inst shot from his guns aa he gayly saluted his general nnd then passed into eternal peace. They cannot have been with Han­ cock's Second Corps, which beat back Pickett's historic charge in the afternoon of the third day, after A rm I stead had planted his Confed­ erate flags in the midst of the Union guns on Cemetery Ridge. The men of that corps would want to see thoco flags again, and to see the men In gray who carried them up to the Union batteries. They still remem­ ber how the dying Confederate Armlstead sent his watch nnd spurs to the wounded Hancock to be forwarded to his relatives in the south. Before the war Hancock nnd Armistead had been chums, and, in .spite of war. the old friendship was vanquished only by death Itself. Perhs.ps these objectors to the Con­ federate uniform were not at Gettys­ burg al all; hut In any event they have missed the meaning of the semi­ centennial celebration. This is not to be a gathering of Northerners or of Southerners, but of American citizens, with ote flag, one nation and one his­ tory. and common memories of the most momentous struggle In the annals of human liberty. If Meade and Hancock and Rey­ nolds and Howard and Slocuin were alive they would be the first to insist that Lee's veterans should wear the gray again. They would want to see the men who fought with Longstreet and Ju bn I Early and Jeb Stuart and Hood and Pickett and Ewell In the uniform (hat belonged to them, and rltey would want to see the tattered stars and bars at the head of the regi­ ments that carried them fifty years ago.

JEVEALED BY FINGER NAILS How Observant Person May Judga With Absoluts Certainty the Char­ acter of Hie Neighbor. It to always amusing to speculate on the character of one's neighbor. A very simple aid In ao doing Is to watch the nails. If a man’s or wom­ an's nails are long and slender, you may be quite certain that person 1s not so robust physically, as the posses­ sor of abort, broad nails. Whereas men and women with the long, narrow type of nails are invet­ erate visionaries, those having short nails are almost always conspicuous by the strength of their logical pow­ ers. It ia the latter who make the beat and moat reliable critics. A further and almost certain char­ acteristic of long nailed people to their Intense depredation of them­ selves and their own efforts In any branch of work. The feeling almost amounts to pessimism with them. Such a point of view however, seldom worries those possessing short nails. In fact, more often than not rather i the reverae to the case; they are in- 1 dined to be overture of themeelves. Doctor Travoto In a Box Car.

Mining at Dawson Available Only Convenient Rabbit Hutch. to Men With Big Capital X New York-—Henry Plnklert, who used to be i merchant in San Fran­ cisco and went to the Klondike in 1897, and has been in business in or around Dawson City ever since, ar­ rived recently at the Breslin. He says there are no mining opportunities in the Immediate neighborhood of Daw­ son, except for men and companies with big capital. "Dawson is not growing,” said Mr. Plnklert. "In the early days there were all kinds of mining right there on tbe ground for tbe Individual, but now. for a radius of about 50 miles around the town, the territory is so worked out that only big corporations can make money working it, and these have taken up a great deal of the land. The biggest operations in the neighborhood are being carried on by a South African company, which owns or practically controls all the claims within that 50-mile radius that tbe Guggenhelms do not control. ‘In the days of the gold rush a man would stake his claim, which would run 500 feet. The moment he got that worked down to low grade he waa up against a proposition that re­ quired dredges and hydraulic ma­ chinery to work on a profitable baste.

The fact that rabbits are easily grown and are a cheap and excellent substitute for tbe ordinary meats is likely to turn tlie attention of many persons to rearing the animals. That they can be propagated without costly investment in land and buildings is a peculiar advantage. Further, the presence on the farm of another ani­ mal which, like poultry, may bo killed and prepared for the table entire and at ahort notice, is exceedingly desir­ able. All these circumstances make it extremely probable that the business of rearing rabbits will grow in im­ portance. The Belgian bare ia one of the best rabbits for table use. It weighs more than most breeds, develops very rap­ idly, and the quality of the meat is superior to all the others. The Flem­ ish giant is a Belgian hare bred ex­ clusively for large size, but with the result thnt the meat is coarser and less delicate in flavor. Theaq charac­ teristics are regarded by some per­ sons as desirable, but this is largely * matter of Individual taste. Mott peo­ ple would prefer the white, finergrained flesh of the original Belgian hare. It should be remarked. how­ ever, that much of the excellence of the rabbit us food depends upon its cooking. As often prepared, ft Is dry and Insipid; while in tbe hands of aa experienced cook ft become# all that tho moot fastidious taste can wish. An especial requirement In cooking tbe Belgian hare la that none of the natural Juices of tbe meat be loot in the proceaa. The Belgian hare , doos not do well when kept wild in open warrens. Tbe common English rabbit is better for this purpose. A good many Belgians have been turned out In various parts of the United States, and in the vicin­ ity of the city of New York and on the yean tbe Canadian government has helped transportation by subsidizing these craft, and this makes it possible for miners to carry up their grub in the fall and continue their work la the winter.

The time waa whan it was cm ternary to see the small farmer aad truck reiser going about the streets from house to house with his pro­ duce. The trip to town was an im­ portant part of each day's round, which was made as reguplariy as the sun, usually at just such an hour ev­ ery day. The farmer had his friends and patrons In town, who knew tha worth and quality of his produce, and who were wise enough and fortunate enough to make arrangements with him to bring It to them, fresh from tbe fields, daily. But nowadays, for one reason or another, this particular activity on tbe part of the farmer has fallen away wonderfully. In ite stead has come, to a large extent, the cry and tho push-cart of the "hawker," a spa­ doc of middleman who must look to this occupation alone for his profits, and who to usually not so much con­ cerned to supply a friend with tho best to be had as he to to do a good business, and that to but natural One cannot but infer that this change must be more or torn to the disadvantage of tbe customer. Ho to the loner In tbe main by thia new or­ der of things, though the farmer to probably somewhat in tho same posi­ tion too. Why does be not come to town as be used to? Doubtless more than one cause contributes to this re­ sult He to farming on a Mrgar and more extensive scale than be used to, and has found a ready market for all that be mn produce in tbe modem middleman, who to ready to take off bls hands all that he has for sale. He to no longer under tbe nirmrity of going in search of purniiasere of hie wares. Tbe self constituted agent of tbe public comes to him volunta­ rily and bargains with him for what he hes; and usually pays him a fair price, too. But a writer In an eastern dally publication makes a suggestion which is well worth considering by any who would welcome an approach to the old order of marketing. It is this: These are the days of the automobile and pleasure riding. Almost every­ one, in these times, high or low. man­ ages to get possession of one, by one means or another. But Instead of go­ ing aimlessly hither and yon, for the pleasure of riding merely, why not have an objective point in view, some farmhouse in the country, and the purchase of a generous supply of fresh vegetables and produce one pur­ pose and object of the outing? Quite a quantity could easily be carried borne thus, and the pleasures of the trip extended for several days by the better quality of food and relishes up­ on the table. If the farmer will not, or cannot, find time any more to cone to the city, then get out the auto and go after him! Strike his trail as tbe banters do when they go out with their hounds after the fox, and run him to earth! And when the run is over and the return is made, I. for one, would ten times rather have a bag of fresh vegetables tha® have a bag at a poor, butchered tax. Per Sato Lot in the first ward.

He Shows How Laws of Michigan Are In Most Instances Favorable to Women Rather Than Men. Concluded from last week. It would seem, however, that where a piece of land is bought and deeded to the husband and to the wife and they give their notes for the pur­ chase price that In justice and goad morals the wife should be holden and her estate should be holden, but m jealous has our supreme court been of the rule that they have not in any case deviated in the slightest degree, although the supreme court has held that a married woman while residing with her husband may become liable so as to charge her estate for neces­ saries purchased for and used in the husband’s family and homestead. A merchant has a right to extend original credit to the wifo where she herself seeks it and agrees and as­ sumes on her own account to be­ come liable for the payment of the obligation. A subscription by a married wo­ man to a bonus to determine the lo­ cation of a building In the neighbor­ hood of her separate land entered Into In consideration of the benefits to be derived from such a location of the building, is not binding on her. This principle was laid down in the case of the Detroit Chamber of Com­ merce vs. Goodman, reported in 110th Michigan page 498. A married woman Is Hable for the price of cloth purchased by her tor a minor son and charged to her account by her direction, she agreeing to pay for the same. The rule that a mairied woman residing with her hue­ band Is liable for family necessaries purchased by her upon her individu­ al credit and sole agreement to pay for the same, has been confirmed in many cases and now it is the accept­ ed and recognised rule that a mar­ ried woman may bind herself for necessaries used in the home while living with her husband where she herself creates the obligation and as­ sumes it. It has been held and is the law in this state that a married woman can acquire a mortgage against her hus­ band on his land as freely as she can take any other existing security and as it Is not her obligation she can foreclose it even though she join in it to release her right of dower. ' In sp<jakingx>f the liability of a woman in purchasing goods for the family, I think perhaps I should make myself a little clearer. ’ Where a wo­ man purchases goods suitable for family use of one who knows that she is married and living with her hus­ band and does not affirmatively claim to be buying on her individual account the natural inference Is tbat she Is buying them on her husband’s account and for the use of the family, and in the absence of an express agreement tbat she is not individually liable therefor she would have the right to show any fact tending to prove that they were purchased on account of her husband. It would seem, therefore, that in the ordinary course of trade and business that where u married woman pur­ chased goods the party from whom she Is purchasing knowing that she Id a married woman and living with her husband, her 'husband would be liable and not the wife except only as she creates the liability herself by promis­ ing and assuming the obligation. Our court has laid down a rule which I think every married woman should know and understand. Where u husband provides his wife with suit­ able supplies and necessaries or with money to purchase them is not liable under any presumption of authority or implied agency for goods purchas­ ed by her on his credit without his knowledge or consent from one with whom he had no previous dealings even though such goods be of the quality of necessaries. This was held in the case of Clark vs. Cox, 32nd Michigan, at page 204. In this case, Judge Cooley said "A tradesman supplies goods to the wife at hla peril when the husabnd is guil­ ty of no neglect of duty and conse­ quently there can be no necessity of her purchasing on his credit at all." Yon will note he uses this language: “of one with whom he had no previous dee£ings though the goods may be necessaries.” To make the application of this rule easy to be understood, if a married wo­ man .should go, while shopping, to a store in the city of Grand Rapids and without -her husband’s knowledge or consent, her husband never having had any account there before, having had no previous dealings, under the rule as laid down in the case I have just cited, the husband could not be holden and the bunion of proof would be upon the house extending the cred­ it to show facts which would create the husband’s liability. I take it that all are familiar with the general rule making the husband liable for the support of the house­ hold and the supply of necessaries for both the wife and family and I, there­ fore, have given you the law govern­ ing the contracts and undertakings of married women of such a nature and character as to bind her separate es­ tate. In determining the liability of a married woman upon contracts, there need be but one question asked and the answer must of necessity deter­ mine the liability. Is the contract or undertaking made with respect to her sole property? To protect married women in their rights under the law, the court has gone so far as to hold that the mar­ ried woman who is a stockholder in a corporation cannot bind her separate estate by signing or endorsing the pa­ per of a corporation. This is so be­ cause her sole property is not involv­ ed. In this case she is simply a stock­ holder no matter how much or how small. Of necessity others are Inter­ ested and have interest. While a mar­ ried woman has a right to engage tn business, she must own all of the bus­ iness in her own right, it must be her sole property in order to bind her unContinucd on page three School Rouse Burned. The Otis school house in Southwest Rutland burned to the ground Mon­ day evening: the origin of the fire is unknown, but it is surmised it came from an overheated stove. The build­ ing was erected In 1876 and almost from the first it has had a largo list of scholars each school year, and there has never been a term of the school that has not had an Otis name on Its list. It was the center of po­ litical discussion and debates, Espe­ cially In greenback times, when from six to ten hot poUtlcal meetings were held each election season. The dis­ trict will build again as there are enough scholars to warrant it. Joined the Departed. Twice within a fortnight has death entered the home of Oliver Bolton of this city. A little over two weeks ago his aged father passed to his Inst rest and on Friday last his mother, Mts. Hannah Dolton, crossed Die dark valley and joined the aged partner on lhe other side. Mrs. Bolton was eighty years of age and had been a residept of Stony Point for many years and with her husband moved to the borne of her son about a year ago. The funeral was held at Stony Point Tuesday at eleven o’clock and the remains were laid to. rest by the side of her husband In the cemetery at that place. A Sadden Sammon*. On Wednesday of last week Mra. Charles Grace of the first ward, was taken to Butterworth hospital In Grand Rapids to undergo an operation for some difficulty with which she was suffering. She passed through the operation successfully but on Sunday was suddenly taken worse and passed away before members of her family who were notified could reach her. Mrs. Grace was 39 years, one month and ten days old, and leaves beside her husband and many friends, three children to mourn her sudden sum­ mons from the earth life; two sons at home and one daughter, Mrs. William Burchett, of Lansing. The remains were brought to this city on the noon train Monday. The funeral will be held at the family home Friday after­ noon. Had Serious Fall. Dr. M. C. Woodmansee, who has been in a feeble condition, slipped Fri­ day afternoon on the ice on Creek street, near Court street, and in fall­ ing broke his shoulder blade, black­ ened one eye and badly bruised his nose. He bled freely at the nose and mouth as he was being taken homo. The doctor is well advanced in years and It will be some time before he Is able to be about. Found Dead In Bed. Daniel Rice, aged 67 years, for many years a resident of Carlton township, was found dead in his bed Tuesday morning. Justice C. R. Bish­ op was summoned to the home but upon viewing the remains decided there was no necessity for an Inquest, death resulting from natural causes. Mr. Rice was an old soldier and for some time past had been a sufferer from heart disease, which was doubt­ less the direct cause of his death. Mr. Rice made his home at times with his daughter and at times lived by him­ self. He Is also survived by two sons and another daughter, Mts. Hattie Al­ len, of this city. To Plan For Democratic Banquet. On Monday evening. Feb. 24, a meeting will be held at the office of Thomas Sullivan to make arrange­ ments for a democratic banquet.

There were over 1,000 dele­ gates and there were at least half that many more who attended the conven­ tion as onlookers. Notwithstanding the false reports of strife and i'J-feeling, which did not exist, there was n “feast of reason," an Interesting desire to avoid all fric­ tion. The banquet of the Coss club on the evening of Thursday, lasting well on to midnight, was characterized by In­ spiring speeches by Cummins, Shields, Wood, Ferris and the visiting con­ gressman, K. B. Price of Alabama. Upwards of 1,000 people were served with a fine menu of good things to eat, and following this came the speeches. It was not a “whipped up” enthusiasm which gave response to sound logic and witty sallies; it was the shout of triumphant democratic hosts. The prolonged cheers for Wilson, Bryan and Ferris told truly that there was but one sentiment In Michigan democ­ racy, that sentiment unity of purpose regardless of the “pie counter.” The banquet speeches paved the way for the harmonious caucuses and convention following. The fourth district caucus held in the Lansing council room was an un­ usually quiet one. What little strife there was, was good natured. At 12:30 p. m. the convention was called to order, nearly every seat was occupied and State ChalrmanSlilelds briefly addressing the delegates, called Hon. O. M. Barnes of Roscommon to teh chair, who delivered a masterly address of congratulation and a scathing arraignment of the divided and defeated party, the former victor­ ious host of Michigan and the nation. It would indeed be an inspiration could that address be read by the rank and file of the democratic hosts of Michigan. Governor Ferris was the next speak­ er, and as it was the first time he had opportunity to thank democrats for the splendid support, he took the occasion to remind them he was “gratefully their servant for the next two years.” He paid a high compliment to the state committee, to congressional and county committees, and he inter­ spersed the bouquets he was handing out by words of condolence to bis po • lltlcal enemies. He did not desire to thrust the rapier to the hilt, but con­ tented himself by using the sharp point as a tickler. Adjournment for dinner and then came the argumentative speech of the convention. Temporary Chairman O. M. Barnes was succeeded by his own request by F. E. McDonald of the up­ per peninsula. Then Hon. Kyle B. Price of Ala­ bama gave a stirring address which lasted nearly an hour. It is expected he will soon give an address in this city at the coming democratic ban­ quet. There were no contests for the nom­ inations although there were plenty of available candidates. The ticket named above was quickly made up. The following synopsis of resolutions gives only a partial lisl. Then came adjournment of the great­ est ever of Michigan democratic con­ ventions. The Platform. “We congratulate the people of the nation upon tbe election of Woodrow Wilson president of the United States and Thomas R. Marshall as vice-pres­ ident, and the election of a demo­ cratic national house of representa­ tives. “Wo extend also to the people of this state our congratulations upon the election of that stalwart represen­ tative of the people’s cause, Wood­ bridge N. Ferris, as governor, and give a prophecy that the administra­ tion of his office will be a genuine demonstration of democratic princi­ ples In the Interest of the whole peo­ ple. "It is with pride and confidence that we note the increase of democratic representation in the state legislature and believe that we can safely expect the promulgation and presentation of democratic measures by that body. "We affirm and incorporate herein the resolutions adopted at the Inst democratic, convention held at Grand Rapids as conclusive of our judgment upon the matters (herein contained. “It Is with great pride that we cal! to the attention of the people of Mich­ igan the inaugural message of Gov­ ernor Ferris and the recommendntions therein contained, which we hereby indorse In their entirety. ■Some Promises Made. “We do hereby earnestly Indorse and pledge the democratic party of Michigan, should It bo entrusted with power, to enact the following legisla­ tion: The adoption of the real Aus­ tralian ballot; the enactment of an »fficient and equitable and workable, primary law; the initiative and refer­ endum: the recall of all executive, legislative and administrative offi­ cials; the utmost publicity of state accounts and a modern and exact system of keeping the accounts of all state Institutions and departments, so that every item of expense and credit may be unerringly traced; an efficient civil service law which will guarantee the economic and efficient administration of non-partisan state Continued on page three. County Fair Sept. II to 19. The executive board of the Barry County Agricultural Society met at the court house last Saturday and transacted the necessary business that came before it. The dates selected for the fair this year were September 16 to 19, and they hope to be able to strike favorable weather on these dates. A motion was made and carried to return to the old system of member­ ship tickets and thus do away with the coupon system which has been in vogue for tbe past two yean. Dislocated Hip. Mrs. 8. J. McClintock met with a serious fall Friday, by which her hip was dislocated or broken. She was about to go down cellar but by a misstep she lost her balance and fell while on the back porch. Her daugh­ ter, Mrs. Hayes, who had gone oat for a ffhoft time found her mother lying on the steps unable to arise. She Is resting easily, but H will be some before. If ever, she regains the use of her limb. Mix Henry Kohler Breaks Hip, Mrs. Henry Kohler of the second ward fell and broke the bone in one of her hips, while going to the home of a neighbor, Sunday. The Icy condition and a slight covering of snow conceal­ ing it were responsible for the acci­ dent. Mrs. Kohler is 66 years old and un­ usually healthy and strong for her age.. The fracture was reduced by Dre. D. E. Fuller and F. G. Sheffield and site Is being well cared for at her home by her sister. Mrs. Chas.

Barry and Eaten Election. The annual election of the Barry and Eaton Insurance Company, which was held at Charlotte Tuesday, was a spirited affair. In the vote for secre­ tary there were 700 votes cast Tito principal candidates were E. V. Smith of Nashville, the present secretary, end M. W. Hicks of this city, who had been deputy under D. W. Rogers for several years. Smith won out by about 170 majority the vote standing Smith 410, Hicks 233, Sylvester 7. The announcement of the vote was made 25 minutes before train time and the Barn’ county contingent, remember­ ing they were wanted al home, made u hike for the station. All the Barry county directors, whose terms expire, were re-elected. The report of the secretary and treas­ urer shows good financial condition of the company. Hastings Wbht Scores. North and South.

Ills Parly Met With Snow Slides In Montana, ami Lmid Slides in Northern California. Pasadena, Calif., Feb. 6. 1913. Lee Matthews, who with Mrs. Mat­ thews and Miss Spencer left Hast­ ings the night of January eleventh for California, writes us the following interesting account of their trip: We got to Chicago Sunday morn­ ing and left there at 10:15 on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. We had a nice trip through Wisconsin and a good view of Milwaukee. When we got to La Crosse, they held us up for । four hours on account of a wreck i ahead, but It was in the night and we did not care. When we woke up Mon­ day morning we were almost through Minnesota. In South Dakota we saw some cities and some of the big farms. When we reached Aberdeen It was pretty cold, but we all got out of the cars and looked around, for that is a fine place. We were five hours iate here, and when we woke up Tuesday morning we were In Montana and it was cold, but we enjoyed it, for we were looking ahead for the big snow, as the conductor had told us that he did not know whether we would get through or nob As we got to Butte, Montana, we met the train going east that was twenty-seven hours late, and then we did not know whether we would get through or not For if it thawed a little the snow would slide and fill in again. But we went on jnst the same. Butte is a city of 80,000. It hats big copper smelters and there is not a green thing that grows for miles elther way, and it Is cold there. But it was a sight to see, for we were there about twenty minutes. Wednesday morning we woke up in the snow that was seven and eight feet deep. The trees were a sight to see, for the wind doesn’t blow up there and the snow Is damp and heavy. As we went on up the moun­ tain the snow gets deeper. We Bal­ lots of buildings on whose roots the snow was eight feet deep. Some roofs had fallen In with the weight of the snow, among them a big school bouse root had all fallen in. At one of the stations the snow was fourteen feet deep on a level, the tele­ graph wires were all down and they were using wireless to dispatch trains. We met one of lhe big rotaries at one of the stations and it was a sight. They had two of those trig engines on, one running backwards and one of these rotaries fastened on back, so that whichever way they went they had one working. The engines were tbe big mountain climbers. They are just as long as two of those on our road. After passing these we soon went on to Seattle, reaching there at 4 p. m. Wednesday, and that finished our trip on the C. M. k St. P. The conductor was fine and showed us all he could and was pleasant We stayed in Seattle until 9 p. m. We went around the town some, but It was raining there so we did not stop there long, but will stay longer when we go back. We got to Portland at 7 a. m. Thursday, and could not get out of there until 1:30 a. m. that night For the berths were all taken up ou all of the trains that went out before. But they would let us go into our car at half past nine. So we took In the sights of Portland. It was snowing, but that did not stop us. Portland is a nice place and if the weather had not been so disagreeable we would have gone around more. We left Portland on the Southern Pacific, thinking everything was clear for the rest of our trip. But Friday morning came and found us side­ tracked in a small city, called Ken­ nett For there was a landslide ahead of us. So I got up and dressed. Look­ ing out the window I saw five build­ ings, four of which were saloons, and a man came in who said there were thirteen and twelve of them were sa­ loons. But It was quite a place. There is some copper smelting going on there. We saw one smelter that em­ ployed 500 men, but the mountains there don’t have a green thing on them. The odor kills everything that grows for miles around. We left this place at four o’clock that afternoon. You ought to see the water that they have to drink. Our river water would be a treat.to them. It Is muddy in color and not fit for a hog, let alone people. I tell you beer looked pretty good before we got out of there. The landslide was about fifty feet long and twenty feet deep. They built u track around it, bo the trains could get by. We got started agaia and reached Sacramento at half past one Saturday morning and left rit six. We went down through lhe val­ Monday morning we went over to lhe Yosemite Valley railroad, where he 1b the rondmaster and where he is liked by nil the men. not only by the men who work under him, but by the officials also. He introduced me to nil the help in the office and to the gener­ al manager and superintendent. He fixed it up for a trip up to El Portal, lhe end of the road. Then Mr. Spen­ cer had it all planned to take a stage trip up in Yosemite park, fourteen miles up. But the other that we saw was grand. To see the wild deer run­ ning up the side of the mountain was most interesting. We stayed two nights at the hotel, called Del Portal. It was a grand place and the proprietor and wife went down at night to show us an Indian pow-wow, where two tribes were gambling for money. One side was squaws and the other men, and such a time as they were having. We got back to Mr. Spencer’s Wed­ nesday noon and stayed with them un­ til Thursday night, when we left for Pasadena to see my brother and wife whom I was glad to see, not having scon them for two years. They were waiting to hear from home and all the rest. We found them in tbe best of health. The weather Is fine here. We haven’t had a fire in our rooms since we got here and It 1b warm and nice. Yours truly, L. A Matthews. STATE LEGISLATURE GETS BUSY PmiMs Bills and Opens DIscsmIob ob Measures of Public ' . Interest, The state legislature is responding to the call for “something doing.” The past several weeks of fetes, con­ ventions and other delaying attrac­ tions, have about expended the pa­ tience of the Michigan constituency and they are demanding that some­ thing beyond resolutions and desul­ tory debates should be started; the one act abolishing the office of state salt inspector being about all visible legislation. * Tuesday the re-apportionment bill for congressional districts passed tbe house just as it was reported out. Barry county goes to the fifth dis­ trict which, if the trill becomes a law, will be composed of Kent, Ionia and Barry. It makes two districts la Wayne county, district No. 1 and dis­ trict No. 13, all the other districts re­ taining their present numbers. The suffrage bill which was to have been taken up Tuesday was put over until today, as also was tbe Glaancr bill. In the order named the following bills arc on the general order and will bo taken up: Equal ^suffrage referendum. Glasner bilL Commission school board. Mothers' compensation. Separate reformatory for women prisoners. All measures to conserve natural and human resources. A domestic relations court. Teachers’ retirement fund. Senator James’ minimum wage conmission. Odell sterilization bill. Amend indigent parents acta so its provisions will be mandatory. Tbo school book question is the one topic uppermost in the minds. A shameless lobby of school book pub­ lishers are hounding the members, and a strong odor of bribery is float­ ing around. Another subject engag­ ing attention, is the corn meal saus­ age, wherein It is charged that cereal sausage which is sold much below the price of meat includes the snouts and ears of the porkers. The farmer members are beginning to get a bit restless as the sun warms up. nnd from now on we may expect "something doing.” It may be well for nil constituencies to urge action on the part of their representatives. Progressive Convention. The bull moose convention at Bat­ tle Creek yesterday was well attend­ ed. A full state ticket was nominated. A progressive democratic platform was indorsed and a defiant refusal given to the G. O. P. to come back. Justice J. M. Smith was busy Tues­ day on a local option case coming from Delton. The case was one In which Benona Searles and Thomas Searles were charged with giving away whiskey to another in local op­ tion territory. The man whom they were charged with giving the liquor to claimed ho got it from another man and the case was adjourned un­ til Friday in order to give the people more time to secure testimony on tho matter. �PAGE TWO HASTINGS JOURNAL-HERALD.

He discov­ ered that the people in the states are paying one-half of the taxes for those who reside in the district of Columbia and, until he began to make a fight in congress they did not know it Even some of the members of con­ gress did not know it The practice of the government standing onr-half of tbe taxes for residents of tbe district of Columbia Is an old one. It has been going on for years. Custom is a hard thing to break down. But there Is realty no more reason why the people of the states should bear half of the expense of maintaining the district of Co­ lumbia than there is why they, should pay half of the taxes of the residents ot the capitate ot states. The old policy of tbe government to stand one-half of the taxes makes Washing­ ton a fine place for tax dodging mil­ lionaires to build their palaces. It might only be expected that when Mr. Johnson began bis fight pressure would be brought to bear on him to force him to abandon it It was. The great newspapers ot Washington flayed him and ridiculed him; the senate set Itself up against him, he was opposed on the floor of the house, and he had to fight, and fight hard, for every inch of headway he made. But Mr. Johnson took the attitude that he was sent to congress to serve the best interests of all the people and not for the purpose of perpetuating soft snaps for the wealthy of the dis­ trict of Columbia. Mr. Johnson, af­ ter a hard fight, succeeded in striking more than three millions of dollars out of the last appropriation bill for the district of Columbia. “The people back in the states are taxed to carry on their local city, county and state governments; and, in addition, are taxed to pay one-half of all the municipal expenses of the city of Washington," declared Mr. Johnson. "Congress quarrels and fights within itself over the question as to whether one or two battleships shall be built, and without batting an eye or asking a question votes the price of a dreadnaught to Washing­ ton each congress. Widows of the old soldiers are compelled to fight and scramble for an eight dollar or a twelve dollar a month pension, bu^ the widow of a Washington policeman is paid a pension of fifty dollars-a month and no questions asked, while the eight dollar pensioned widow back In the states Is taxed to help pay It. The same may be said of tho old soldier himself.

"Oh, I believe in Santa Clans and in bangin’ up my stocking’r* repeated the girl from the dock department "Well, I should say I do! If aU that part ot it was taken out of my kid life there wouldn't be much left to smile over. I'm not the only one who thinks like that, either, "If Santa Claus doesn’t do another thing on earth, be keeps tbe kids straight for a while, anyway, and that helps a lot when there are several on even more of them and only one mother and father. With most girls Santa Claus ia good for a whole month's mindin' and doin’ as told, and’ even the boya toe the line for a week at least and the aquaUy kids let them'selvea be shook still when they are told if they don't stop they won't get anything In their stockin'^ "Hangin’ up your stockin’! Ain’t that about the best that ever happens to a poor kid? Well, I should nay yes, and rich ones get something out of it, too, I suppose. The stockin’ must be the longest one in tbe house, not be­ cause you are greedy but because you want to give Santa Claus a chance to be as generous as he wants to be. It must be hung right Then it will not be overlooked or bard to find. "You begin about six o’clock in the evenin' to get your stockin’ hung to suit you. and you are spanked back to bed at midnight for sneaking out in your bare feet for the eighth time to place it more conspicuously. Then you cry yourself to sleep, or what passes for sleep on that night, so eventful and nerve rackin’. Real sleep’s out of the question, as you have been present all day at the din­ ner preparations and are so stuffed with odds and ends of everything you can scarcely waddle after you tumble out of bed to arrange and rearrange the clockin'. They can hardly get a whimper out of you when you are spanked—not too much, just enough to show you that ma Is still on the job, Banta Clans or no Santa Clans. Final­ ly you fall asleep reelin’ about as you do when you are ridin' on the cars and are not undressed. "At daylight or earlier you are awake and, like a Cash, It all comes to you. Santa Claus! The stockin’! You are up with a spring on the ice cold floor and openin’ tbe door to get a peep at your present. "I remember the first Christmas that came around after pa died. I know now that ma didn’t have any more money than was needed to get along with, so It took some work and flggerin’ to get that stockin' filled. But UH bet you, for every ounce she put into it that time she has taken out many a pound of love since. She never lost anything for what she did. "It was her own stockin’, as mine wasn't considered big enough, and I had been assured that Santa Claus would not know the difference. "When I got the first glance of it on Chrlutmaa mornln' and saw It was filled almost to bu ratin' and that a beautiful doll was beside it boldin’ out its arms to me, I was so frightened, surprised and happy that I woke up ma with my cryin’. '“In mercy’s name, child, what is it?* she asked. All I could do was to gasp and Bob. 'He has been here! Look!' “Honest, if I live till I die I’ll never forget that mornln’. Nothin’ would make me touch the stockin’ with the PURITY There is nothing in life that so appeals to the majority of people as purity.

INSTITUTE PLAN, WHICH IS UNIQUE IN UNITED STATES, A SUCCESS. A year ago Ionia county farmers in attendance at the annual winter Institute rose in revolt against the domination of the M. A. C. and re­ solved <o run their own round up. That revolt resulted In a coalition with the Ionia Chautauqua associa­ tion and tbe organisation of the Ionia Chautauqua institute formed on a plan which is said to bo unique In the United States, and will work the be­ ginning of a new era in Instituts work. Out of that movement grew a bitterness between the authorities at the M. A. C. and the local officers which resulted in a separation. The local men determined to manage their own meetings; the state refused to give them any support and withdrew even its support to the one-day institutes The local organisation is no longer recognised at Lansing. Instead, a new organisation has been perfected at Portland, representing a small sec­ tion of the county, and a two-day meeting will be held there under the management of the agricultural col­ lege. What the Ionia farmers wanted was a better else* of speakers than they had been getting. They want­ ed fewer subjects and better pro­ grams and wanted to have something to say about It themselves. They ac­ complished results which will be noted with interest throughout Mich­ igan and other states. Ionia has lon< been one of the banner Institute coun­ ties of tbe state’- its accomplishments in self government will be far reach­ Ing In their effects. In the past there has been no charge other than a small fee for member­ ship to defray local expenses. The expense of speakers on farm topics has been stood by the state, as has also the expense of the speaker for the one-day institutes. This year the people were called on to pay an ad­ mission fee of 25 cents to each ses­ sion, or a course ticket could be purchased for |1. The Ionia Chau­ tauqua society assumed the financial reeponslblllty. A program of speak­ ers on farm topics and entertainers were secured at an expense of nearly M^OO. When those who had for so many years seen the institutes conducted at practically no expense became aware of the enormous expense of the undertaking they were skeptical. But after all expenses were paid, a balance of 8100 remained. At the close arrangements were made for the meeting next year, and the association has assumed the fin­ ancial responsibility. No institute officers were elected, but vice-presi­ dents were appointed in each town­ ship, and every township that warns a one-day Institute will be given one. It is considered that this movement is destined to Introduce a new order of things In Institute wort, and that sentiment was expressed by many ot the speakers. The Chautauqua institute movement haa outgrown the controversy with the state authorities, and has assumed dimensions which must invest It with a significance far reaching In ftn ef­ fects and it is believed the idea will be carried out In other counties in Michigan and elsewhere. — Ionia Standard. has been well said that collections are the roof of every business structure. ----------- In order to transact business on the most economical basis prompt collections are a necessity in the electric lighting and power business.

Ducks seldom become broody: geese are apt to become broody after laying the first litter. The hens need strenuous exercise these days to keep them from becom­ ing sluggish and inactive. The secret of getting winter eggs Is early-hatched pullets, well grown, well sheltered and well fed. Eggs from yearling ducks hatch well, but geese must be about three years old to show strong fertility. A few drops of little liquid sulphur in bucket of water is fine for chick­ ens iu dry weather, once or tvlcb a week. A little cotton seed meal mixed with maeh to fine to produce glossy feathers and helps to supply the meat food needed. Geese cannot be profitably hatched and reared artifically, while incuba­ tors and brooders have revolutionised the duck business. Green cut bone will make hens lay in winter. Get a bone cutter and grind them yourself, if you cannot buy them already ground. The older the gander the more vto lous he is apt to become during breed­ ing season; tbe drake seldom shows temper, being of a more timid nature.

W. J. HANNA THE photo SHOP TMKSOIIK H OUR SCHOOLS which requires the most painstaking care and even then tho results are not always satisfactory. Still another advantage of rearing spring colts is the fact that weaning period comes when the mare is nat­ urally going dry. Horses, like other domestic ani­ mals, are highly artificial products. However, the greatest success Is at­ tained by raising them os nearly as possible In their natural state. Plenty: of green grass, sunshine, exercise and; the added milk production of tho mare' are the principal reasons why spring: foals are best On tbe other hand, many farmers: who advocate breeding for fall colts, claim that they can get better service out of tbelr mares during the spring’s work. On my own farm I have never been able to see much in this claim. Grain harvesting are fully as bard­ work as plowing and cultivating. Any' fair-minded man will agree that haul­ ing a corn binder when the temperatore is around 90 degrees is no suit­ able work for brood mares that are heavy with foal.

If your mares foal in tho fall plan to provide plenty of room for the fools to run about and pick Mts of food, here and there as they please.

Feed the mares plenty of milk-mak­ ing foods such as carrots, mangles, ground oats and wheat bran. Good care end plenty of good food and ex­ ercise will bring tbe colt through to grass In fine shape.

QUESTION OF DEEP PREVENT DISEASES PLOWING DISCUSSED OF GARDEN CROPS MARKET JOTATIOIS SHE HAS_AJ3RIEVANCE Foundation of Sucoom Hext Year WM Depend Upon Pure Seed and Good Sol (By E. C. ffTAKMAN, Assistant in PathMosy. Minnesota College of Agricul­ ture.) If the Mil to made sanitary by dis­ ease control, a large annual loss In garden crops will be avoided when the seed to gathered from last year's crop to planted In the spring. It may bo laid down m a principle that the foundation of success next year will depend upon the care which to given to keep the seed free from disease and to prevent the soil from becoming unsanitary. One vegetable which is directly con­ cerned is the potato. The-tubers of the potato plant may be troubled with a number of diseases. In Minnesota, the potato scab and the Internal brown rot must be contended with. Both diseases live in tbe soil and tubers, and it is necessary that the •oil be free from the disease If next year's crop is to be a large one. If diseased seed or soil bo used year after year, the yield of the sound po­ tatoes becomes smaller and smaller. Other common crops which are af­ fected with disease in Minnesota are the bean, cabbage, onion and beet. Many of the diseases are so serious as to endanger the production of pay­ ing crops. Some of the seed may be diseased, and yet show no trace of disease. Bean anthracnose, bean bac­ teriosis and black rot of cabbage are among tbe diseases. To prevent disease from obtaining a hold, spraying should be done wher­ ever possible. If the soil Is diseased, rotation of crops must be resorted to. Only by such attention can perma­ nent success be assured. Butter Producing States. Tbe ten leading butter producing states are, in order named: Wiscon­ sin, tows, Minnesota. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Now York. Texas and Indiana. “Wouldn't 1 like to get my hands on that landlord, though!’* ejaculated Mra. Regan, with deep yearning.

If that man Kelly was to be asked his own name point clank he'd say it was Jones just because he bates to tell the truth! “ ’Look at my gas stove!’ I says. ‘No.’ 1 says impatient, for Mr. Phelps looked around tho basement kind of wild, as though he expected to see the stove there among the laundry tubs, 'it ain’t here, but 1'11 be glad to show It to you!

'While you're here I want you to come upstairs and look at the wall paper In my parlor. I've had Mr. Kelly look at It every time I’ve seen him and he's agreed that I should have It done over and then he doesn't do It! Of course, I picked It out when I came In and that was all right, but how did I know my daughter Mamie was going to get a erase to have her hair dyed that reddish tint? You can seen for youself, Mr. Phelps, how red hair won't go at all with this pinkish paper. Mamie has an artistic temp'rament and she says every time she has to come Into this room it makes her feel faint and she to neglecting her piano practice something shocking just because she can't stand her hair next to this paper. “ 'Henry Dilbeck, the plumber around the corner; I says, ‘is paying particular attention to Mamie and, goodness knows, she may lose him. feeling so awful about the paper and not being able to concentrate her at­ tention on him m she ought, men be­ ing so keen on being made a tasa over! Any man with a heart, Mr. Phelps,* I says, ‘would feel sorry .for Mamie and not let the price of a few rolls of paper spoil her life, poor girl! Though I don't see why she picked out that shade of red for her hair, even If it is stylish. When will you send the paperhsngers, Mr. Phelps** “He said at once that he'd see and started to go, but I stopped him. t said that besides the gas stove and tho paper and tho pantry shelves I wanted the floors done over and now window shades and now gM fixtures in the dining room like they have at Mre.

Vol. 2, No. 14. JUNE WEATHER IN JANUARY THAT IS .WHAT SOME MICHIGAN FOLKS ABE ENJOYING IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. Alonzo Tobias Formerly of This Comi­ ty, Write* Interesting Description of Thing* in That City. Mre Chas. Will has received recent­ ly some interesting letters from her brother, Alonzo Tobias, who with hi.i wife has recently gone to southern California with a view of locating there. Mr. and Mrs. Tobias formerly lived near, this city and have many friends in this vicinity. We are permitted to take a few extracts from these letters that will be of in­ terest to many of our readers. Under date of Feb. 2, he writes from San Diego: We left Bay City, (Texas.) Jan. 23. and reached Los Angeles, Jan. 2G. We have seen some of the finest coun­ try and some of the worst. Cali­ fornia has some of the best we have ever seen, although there is some very poor land here in this state. We like it very much here. The climate here is much dryer than on the Gulf coast of Texas, although Texas back on the mountain range is dry and at El Paso is very healthy. They claim to be having a very peculiar winter on the coast this winter. It is not freezing weather, but so foggy and damp. Here we find it just the reverse or nearly so. The climate is fine and everything la lively. San piego Is right on the bay. Several large bat­ tleships are lying in the harbor. Over 1100,000 Will be paid to the bqya in blue here next Wednesday. Among the boats are the battleships Colorado, South Dakota and several large tor­ pedo boats, also the revenue cuttcra Bear and Pearl. We have been to the boats several times to see them drill. From another letter, dated Feb. 12th, we quote as follows: This is surely the finest climate., 1 saw by the Grand Rapids Herald that last Sunday you had zero weather there. So I will tell you what we had here. I bought some Grand Rapid* papers and went to one of the city parks and lay down In the shade and tried to see if we could find some Hastings news. The weather is like a day in June, with plenty of good things to cat, straw berries fresh. You can buy all you folks could ent for 25 or 30 cents. There are salmon, halibut, black bats, catfish and many •Winds of fish 1 lo not remember the names of. There Is lots of game, such as ducks, geese, quail, etc. This surely will be a great city some day, a good place to make money. Lots sold here six years ago In the business section for from $60ti to 11500 that are now selling for $30,­ 000 to >50,000. Those who bought for $2000 then are selling for $15,000 now. The big state normal school is lo­ cated here? Uncle Sam has a naval training school here and there are •ome of the finest residences In the world here. We now expect to stay here or near here, as -we think this Is the healthiest place we have ever yet seen. There is lots of business here. Carpenters get 50 cents an hour, $4.00 per day, and plumbers get $0.00 for eight hours work. Provisions here are about tye same as in Battle Creek, aome thing* a little higher and others lower. Jess Was DtaappshrtediMt week Jess McIntyre blew Into town on Ms annual visit and made straight for Justice Smith's ofllce. Of course, . hnmy put out the glad hand and bid the wanderer welcome, but was greatlv perplexed as to the object <rf his visit After the preliminary courtesies had passed, Jess said. “Jimmy, you have a warrant out for me." “No," says the justice, “there’s nothing on the docket; nothing agin you, Jess." "By heck," replies Jess, "if I bad known that I would have stayed down in New Orleans, but I heard I was wanted here and I came all the way up here to save you folks trouble. Gee, hut there are rome big liars around. And then Jesa bowed himself out. Hastings Whist Scores. North and South.

GREENFIELD CONTRIBUTES INTERESTING STORY OF AN OLD MUSTER ROLL. Iu June, 18M, Fifty HaMlug* Bap Enlisted m Zouave Cadets, In Answer Io LineelnV J'alL Editors Journal-Herald: I herewith hand you the Muster Roll of the “Hastings Zouave Cadets" which came to me as clerk'^wheu Striker resigned. That this company never reached the front was no faul; of the rank and file. The men who wrecked it are gone to their reward and we will let them rest. The com­ pany was organized by, or under a request made by Gov. Blair after Lincoln's second call for troops for the men of Michigan liable to military duty who would volunteer to form companies and drill according tj Hardee's tactics. The headquarters and drill room was in what was known as the Owl’s Nert, which was (he third story of the cld wood build­ ing which stood where the Banner ofllce and Jamieson’s restaurant now stands. We uniformed and armed ourselves and drilled for three months. Falling to be assigned to the 6th and then the 7th regiments which had gone, we learned later that the company had not been reported or offered for service. On or about the 1st of September, when the 8th was forming a place was offered the company. On taking a vote to go 12 or 15 voted No, the captain and first lieutenant among them. That broke the company up. The second lieuten­ ant, N. H. Walbridge, procured a captain’s commission, gathered up 12 of the old company which was ths nucleus of Co. F. 8th Michigan Volun­ teer Infantry. Of those on this roll there are nine living, five of them In the city. , O. H. Greenfield. Hastings Zouave Cadets Muster Roll . —June 15, 1861. .

CHARLOTTE LADIES WERE THEIR GUESTS WOMEN’S CLUB ENTERTAINED TWELVE VISITORS FROM OUR NEIGHBORING CITY Several Interesting Subjects Were Considered In the Program of Friday Afternoon. The Hastings Women’s club met in the council room Friday, Feb. 21, at the usual time, Mrs. Fred Stebbins, the president. In the chair. There were twelve members of the Charlotte Women's club as guests for ( the afternoon. The ladles were given ; n luncheon by the board at the home j of Mrs. Ida Wood. Mrs. H. H. VanAuken, who was for nine years a mem­ ber of the Hastings Women’s club. Is now an honorary member of the | club and an active member of the 1 Charlotte Women’s club, was one of I the number. Among the others were Mrs. Marguerite Phillips, chairman of the art committee of the state federa­ tion: Mrs. Martin Buck, president of the Charlotte Women’s club, Mrs. M. E. Ward, editor of the Good Cheer page in the Charlotte Tribune, Mrc. George Huggett, Mrs. Benj. Otto an-J others. The club opened with the reading In concert of the Club Collect. Sugges­ tions for the good of the club were given at roll call. A new catalogue of the library books; attendance of every member and on time; promptness In putting motions; everyone respond nt roll cun'; discussion of papers; to speak loud enough for the farthest in the room to hear; new bookcases. These and other good suggestions were made. Mrs. Huffman announced House­ keepers* Day os the next meeting. Mar. 7. Mrs. Stebbins will present the question of the club’s endorsement of the mothers' pension bill at the next meeting. Mrs, Mae Young gave the history for the day. This embraced the period just preceding and during the war of 1812 and was most Interesting. Mrs. Charles Kerr was the hostess for the day. Miso Gladys Fetter, supervisor of music 'in Lhe public schools, sang two beautiful solos, accompanied by ; Miss Haze) Radford. Miss Fetter sung "Oh, That We Two Were Maying” and j ns an encore "My Love Is Like a Red, ! Red Rose." lira. Belle Hendershoit; sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” ac­ companied by zMIsb Gertrude Smith, the club Joining in die chorus. Mr*. Clement Smith read a paper, subject, “The Obligation of the Club Woman to the Questions of the Day.** During this paper Mrs. Smith referred to the well worn but ever vital question of a public library for Hastings and said that this surely could be brought about If the women would only make up their minds to see that we had a li­ brary. In a discussion that followed. Mrs. Burton called the attention of the 1 club to the fact that the offer of a site by Mr. Burton of Detroit, if conditions were carried out, would only be poatible of acceptation between now and May 1st. The offer was to bold good for a year. The ladies from Charlotte said that none of them had ever heard a word of criticism connected with the support of the Carnegie library in Charlotte. If the offer of Mr. Burton Is ignored it will doubtless be the last of the library question in Hastings. Mrs. Smith also urged Influence of the women of Hastings in the better hous­ ing of our city schools and Intelligent intereat and help in vital questions of the day. She urged fewer papers and more discussion of them. This was also voiced by several members of the club, and It was suggested If the club members would look over their pro­ grams and inform themselves In some manner on the topics to be given that the discussions would be most inter­ esting and helpful. Mrs. Wi D. Hayes gave a “Talk" in which she urged club members to make the most of the talents they had. Thie paper and talk were of much practical benefit nnd gave food for thought. Following these Mrs. H. H. VanAuk­ en and Mrs. Porter J. Freeman, for­ merly Mrs. Margaret Bailey, both hon­ orary members of the club, gave short and interesting talks nnd several Indies from the Charlotte club spoke of their pleasure during their visit to the Hastings Women’s club.

Both “Drys" and "Wets" Will Haw Hearing For and Against Amend* men! on That Date. Over 25,000 letters, petitions and appeals have gone forth from the state headquarters of the Anti-Saloon League in Detroit during past few days in behalf of the resolutions before the legislature providing for the submis­ sion to the people of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the liquor traffic in Michigan. The moral, temperance, and civic leaders in every community of the state have been reached with this "dry" deluge, Including all of the ministers of the state, the local offi­ cials of the W. C. T. U., the grange, and others. A great public “hearing” on the amendment will be held on the fifth of March, at 7:30 p. m. In the house of representatives’ chamber at Lan­ sing. At that time the committees of both houses having the resolutions in charge will listen to the “drys" and “wets" each an hour nnd a half. Ad oratorical conflict such as Mich­ igan has seldom seen is promised. Such noted orators as Hon. John G. Wooley, Mrs. Florence Richard*, president of the Ohio W. C. T. U. and others will speak for the amendment. And it is expected that the liquor in­ terests wIH have the best men they can secure between the oceans to present their side of the case. The prohibition forces will storm thcaplto! city on that day in an al May program, wearing white badges, "For the Amendment" Hundreds of lend­ ing men and women from all over the state will attend this hearing. In addition a day has been set apart for a great "Concerted Discussion" throughout the churches of flic state. This will occur Sunday, March ninth. On this day it Is expected that the pastors of the state will thunder forth a united appeal for the prohibition amendment that will stir the old state through and through. In the appeals that have gone forth to the ministers, W. C. T. U.. the grange, etc.. State Superintendent J. F. Burke, of the league speaks as fol­ lows: "Now is the time pre-eminent for every soul in Michigan to bend all energy to the work at hand. We have canvassed the situation thor­ oughly and we feel safe in predicting that with the many friends we have in the legislature, the doubtful men in districts where our friends are numerous, the morale of the victori­ ous tidings from congress of the en­ actment of the inter-state liquor shipment bill—with all this, if we all do our part faithfully, there will be such pressure brought from every section of the state that the senator* nnd representatives will be glad to pass this resolution.” Flatt, a Prophet of the New Era. On Monday evening, March 3, Byron Piatt will give the next number in the lecture course. If half of what is said I about Mr. Piatt Is true, his lecture will be well worth hearing. His subject | will be "The New Era,” which has! been described as “a prophetic mes­ sage, Interpreting Jesus Christ in terns of present-day life.” When Mrs. Raweis was here she spoke in the very highest terms of Mr. Piatt, classing him among the fore­ most orators on the lecture platfotm today. Every lecture is a quivering crosssection of the individual, neighborhood and national life of our people—a cut­ ting invective against ignorance, beastiallty, cowardice, avarice, para­ sitism and inhumanity—a direct ap­ peal to the active and latent good in mankind—a sane but glowing vision of what is possible to tbc race when men make up their minds to be broth­ ers. Of no other man who has arrive! can it bo more truly said that he came to tho lyceum platform because he had to; that his Ideas possessed him com­ pletely and forced him into the arena to fight for them. Every sentence is welded together with overmastering conviction. He possesses the charm nnd magnetism of downright, thor­ ough-going sincerity. The romance of facts and figures, masterly argument, thrusts of ridicule, flashes of wit and impassioned appeals to reason and conscience follow each other in rapid succession till the whole compass of human life is played upon. The board for the sale of reserved seats will be open at Carvcth & Steb­ bins' Saturday morning. A consignment of 20,000 brook trout fry was sent to C. W. Mixer yester­ day morning from the state hatchery at Paris. They have been placed in a number of Barry county trout streams. COMPLETELY SURPRISED. 1- Thorpe and Family Receite Unexpected Visit Last Thursday Evening. Last Thursday evening about eight o'clock between twenty and thirty neighbors and friends of Ex-County Clerk W. L. Thorpe and family and Miss- Ada Johnson made them an un­ expected visit. Il was a complete surprise to all except Russell Thorpe. Tho evening was spent In social con­ verse and playing cards, after which, light refreshments were served. Be­ fore leaving, John Smelker in behalf of the assemblage as slight tokens of esteem presented to Mr. and Mrs. Thorpe, a berry spoon nnd cold meat fork; Miss Johnson u souvenir spoon: and Russell Thorpe a scarfpin. Ou the handle of tho berry spoon was en­ graved "1908-1912," representing their four years' residence In Hastings. Mr. Thorpe feelingly responded, stat­ ing he and the rest were truly thank­ ful for the visit and tokens: that as a complete surprise It got his goat and the barber failed to shave him for •the occasion. They are going back to the old farm near Milo, tho first load of goods hav­ ing been taken there Monday. We regret to see this family leave tho city, but we know that the latch­ string will be out for all wandering friends who visit Milo, nnd the word “Welcome” will be found on the door­ mat. SCHOOL CHILDREN TO COMPETE In Making Hastings a More Beastifsl City During tbe Sasuaer Meath*. Committees from the Teacher’s clubs and Women's clubs have made quite definite plana for the work of the Junior Civic league during tbs spring and summer months. Pupils of the city schools will be encouraged to plant and care for flowers and vegetable gardens, keep yards and lawns in good condition and make such other improvements as will assist in making “Hastings More Beautiful."

This list will be printed soon, to enable the pupils to plan their work early and get busy in making Hastings a City Beautiful. If there are others in the city who would like to contribute prizes for this commendable enterprise and have not'already done so they should notify Mrs. Anna McOmber of the Women’s Club, the superintendent of schools or any of the ward principals some time this week. • Fisker. The sad news came to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fisher of the State road that their son Mural Fisher had died in Los Angeles, California, early yester­ day morning. Moral who had been ill for several days had submitted to an operation for appendicitis last week; the report came that he was recovering.

The bill is aimed to prevent the marriage of weak minded and diseased people, who could transmit their ailments to fu­ ture generations, entailing taxes for support and criminal prosecutions. There is scarcely a county in this state which does not have these dere­ licts. either as criminals or depend­ ents. The arguments against the bill on Its passage last Thursday and the amendments to it were frivolous, and aroused the Ire of Barry's representa­ tive, who had to be called to order by the chair. The bill passed two years ago In the house but was defeated In the senate. It again awaits the action of that body, which Is more favorable than before.' There may be defects in the bill: there may be serious objection to ex-, aminations, but tbe public welfare ' demands some law that will prevent or at least reduce the fearful increase I the House After a Hard Fight, By Vote et W to -C Warranty Deeds.

Of course there has been great fpeculation ns to how women would carry themselves at the polls when they once got the ballot. Would they regard the ballot seriously and vote with a due consideration of the Issues involved? This and many other nat­ ural and pertinent questions were asked, and strange to say most peo­ ple rather regarded the voting capa­ bility of women as a Joke. It was not a Joke! Read the following arti­ cle quoted from March Pictorial Re­ view, and see what mental thought and active campaign work the women of San Francisco put into their first election. "The streets lay dumb. There was no traffic of either man or beast The stores were closed, and even the sa­ loons which ordinarily are open twenty-four hours every day of the 365, were shut tight.

A fairly popular notion prevails that life at a great university compre­ hends little beyond the intellectual In­ fluences of books nnd class-rooms. As a matter of fact university teach­ ers are most careful to foster ail those moral and religious Influences which are effective in preparing edu­ cated men and women for social ser­ vice. There are religious organiza­ tions in student life under whose di­ rection teachers, physicians, engi­ neers, and religious leaders volun­ teer for foreign mission fields and for social settlement work In the large cities of this country. Besides this specialized training, the modern con­ ception of culture, which places em­ phasis upon tbe moral sense and creates a passion for social service as well as for knowledge, gives the university a distinct place in tht “quick-flowing tides of the busy world." The point of view of the modern educator was well exemplified in an address recently delivered before a large student audience, by President Hutchins of the University of Mich­ igan. In speaking upon the “Ideals of Service," President Hutchins em­ phasized the Idea that “life at the uni­ versity should mean more than the mastery of assigned tasks—me re than technical equipment for a profession —more than intellectual growth and quickening in any chosen field;" that It should make for the appreciation nnd development of “those qualities of mind and heart which respond to the higher things in life.” The speak­ er insisted upon the Importance of developing the right attitude toward tbe great questions of life and of fix­ ing upon the standards by which the work of life shall be regulated and controlled, and the Ideals by which it shall be Inspired. In defining "service," the president reminded his hearers that the Idea embraces labor and effort for others with self-seeking eliminated. “Go into the work of the world with the fixed and unalterable determination to devote some part of your energy to voluntary, unselfish, unremunerat­ ed service," he urged. “Could I feel assured,” he continued, “that in the midst of the insistent demands that tho activities of Hfe will surely bring to you, and of the temptations to con­ centrate tbe forces of your being In the work of your particular calling, you would respond with energy whim Instruction, advice and guidance in regard to public question* were need­ ed by the people; that In the every day battle again* vice and corruption, in the efforts to save men and women from the awful conaequences of sin and debauchery, in systematic work for race betterment generally, you would be found ever ready for duty and for sacrifice, than I would atop here arid not offer practical sugges­ tions as to the kind* of service for which you should be particularly fit­ ted and in which yon should engage." It was further pointed out that there is great need for educated and sympa­ thetic leadership in the political and social life of the day. It la apparent that the people will soon pass directly upon public measure* aa well as upon public men, that the authority to originate and indeed to legislate will elso be exercised directly by the peo­ ple. This situation means a tremedons widening of the field for in­ dividual influence in reagrd to public questioM. If we are to be saved from fatal mistake*, It will be be­ cause of the general intelligence and informed judgment of the people. The opportunity for service is likewise to be found in connection with muni­ cipal administration. Beyond all thwp opportunities for efficient service, however, is that which touches hu­ man experience on it* moral and re­ ligious aide. It Is this demand for human helptulneas that no educated man or woman can honorably ignore. In no other way can he or she escape jhe atrophy of soul and heart that inevitably comes from shutting one’s self and all of one's Interests within the narrow limits of a calling or a ;rrofetalon. The principal, reason for such service lies in the fact that it in a duty imposed by the privileges of an education provided by public benefaction. The supreme justifica­ tion for higher education by the state is that it makes better citizens, con­ tribute* to tho general uplifting of the people and at the same time fits for public service. -No student can es­ cape this great moral responsibility. And thus it la that the Ideals of high­ er education are suffusing the whole mentality of onr youth with tbe spirit of service for a common good. “Real culture Ilves by sympathies and ad­ mirations.” and it* beat manifesta­ tion* is the spreading power it gives to true democracy.

There has yet to be discovered a case where live stock has been killed by lightning in a field surrounded by American Steel Fence Poets. Each post is a lightning rod which protects your stock. When you use the American Steel Post you secure continuous protection, which does not cost a cent outside of the price necessarily spent in fencing tbe field. The value of one horse or one cow killed by lightning would be more than the posts around an average size field. For many reasons you cannot afford to use anything but. the American Steel Post. There have been thousands in use over fifteen years and not one lias rusted, rotted or burned. You can burn your fence rows each year, destroying weeds and vermin which destroy crops. Steel posts can be driven, saving time and money. . Let 1)6 name prices and explain many more advantages of -he American Steel Post.

' .A True Amlguent, The democratic and progressive parties are pointing out the insinceri­ ty of the republican progressive plat­ form. They point with emphasis to the fact that the republican state con­ vention last fall refused to make a declaration of principles. Although tbe national democratic as well as progressive party hud declared for tbe initiative, referendum and recall, the presidential primary and the election of United States senators by the peo­ ple, the party of great moral Ideas, (professed) failed to give any inltnaatlon of where It stood except to In­ dorse the national republican plat­ form and candidate*. The spell bind­ ers of the party from the exalted William Alden Smith to the little 7x9 yelpers, loudly proclaimed no tariff revision was necessary; no change in law “or rulers’* was demanded; no probe of trusts nnd combinations un­ der the Sherman law was warranted. The “boBBes” were fully qualified to continue the benefleient (for the trusts) government. In fact the administration run as a private institution through the Stand­ ard Oil’s 26 Broadway office, from the Philadelphia office of the Pennsyl­ vania railroad; from the Jim Hill’s offices in St Paul and from Harri­ man’s headquarters in New York and San Francisco, aided when necessary by lesser overlords here and there, had been eminently successful, (for the Wall street ring) and given tbe people a splendid government Under this illusion the people were expected to be docile and unsuspect­ ing as sheep at tbe shearing. But something happened. There was an awakening; times had changed- people had become tired of promtoe without fulfillment Wilson was elected; the administration of the ■•publican party was repudiated, and wow comes the republican party trail­ ing along behind and brazenly pro­ claiming they are In favor of tbe measures and policies the people had approved. But the people are not to be de­ ' ceived; they recognize the wolf in •beep's clothing and the rattle of the Wall street sine, and the Wall street powder flash, in stagey imitation of financial thunder and lightning docs not scare.

The following special to the Grand Rapids Evening Press of Monday, if true, reveals a strange combination of circumstances surrounding the death of Claude L. Slawson, formerly ol this city: Tampa, Fla., Feb. 24.—That Claude L. Slawson of Battle Creek, who died here recently starved to death is the belief of Dr. Cook who attended him during part of his Illness, and also of Dr. W. M. Rowlctte. Slawson, who was the son of a well to do Battle Creek woman, came to Florida because of consumption and for some time was at Green Springs. He was taken ill with diphtheria and wan brought to the Palmetto hotel In this city where physicians adminis­ tered antitoxin. When it was learned that he hnd diphtheria the place was quarantined but the doctors say that Mrs. Gardner, who runs the place, a small rooming house, had the sign tom down and locked Slawson In his room. Efforts were made tn get him a nurse but the young man's funds were running low and as he did not , realize the danger of his condition he did not wire his mother. Finally the physicians called the at­ tention of the Associated Charities to the case and Slawson was taken to the Gordon Keller hospital. 1! was too late and he passed away the next morning.

Haywesd-HOL On last Thursday evening at tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sponable occurred a most quiet and pretty lit­ tle wedding, tbe contracting parties being Orval G. Haywood and Amy A. Hill. At the appointed hour Rev. C. W. Ballou came quietly down the street and turned in at the Sponable home where the bride has been staying for some time, and when be had entered the room he found tbe wedding party in waiting. The ceremony was brief and impressive and the bride and groom were soon on their way to the home of other friends out of the city. The bride wore a gown of beautiful lavender mesaaline satin while tho groom was fitted for the occasion In conventional black. The bride has been employed et the Novelty Factory for some time and has made many warm friends because of ber charming and congenial man­ ner, while the groom Is well known In our city as the brave, daring and trust worthy fire boy, who comes da&hing down the street in answer to our fire calls. A competent bra\<? fireman is a valuable asset to any we!! organized city and Orval has surety proven his mettle as he has made some most speedy runs with his dappled grays hitched to the fire wagon. If Orval thinks an assistant is need­ ed'to give the fire department more efficient service his many friends will be willing to trust his judgment and wish him the best of luck, and that each perilous trip may be a safe one. Both have a host of friends and ac­ quaintances that will wish them u most Joyful and prosperous journey through life. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Mc­ Farlane, on Saturday, Feb. 22, a boy.

Loss—Particular Care Should Be Used to Plant Only Clean Stock—There is No Effective Treatment Known. <BY ERNEST WALKER.) During tbe put year a great deal of nursery'stock hu been sold to farm­ ers and fruit growers which later de­ velopments showed was affected by various diseases of which the buyer wu entirely Ignorant Crown gall and woolly aphis are two very com­ mon diseases found on young orch­ ard trees. An orchardfst who set out an or­ chard 15 years ago told the writer, on learning the nature of crown gall, that he remembered notic­ ing it on the trees and was confi­ dent half his trees were affected with galls like the sample when set. though at that time he was Ignorant of the nature of the disease, in reply to a question as to how the trees had done, he reported that they have nev­ er "done much.’’ Crown gall ir. found on peach, al­ mond, apple, pear, raspberry, rose, .and similar growths on various other plants, but whether tho organism is the same In all Instances Is os yet un­ determined. It is known to affect seedlings as well as grafted trees, and the disease can bo communicated by direct Inoculation. It has been shown that crushed galls placed in the soil tn which seeds are planted will pro­ duce the disease on the seedlings. The disease Is therefore contagious. There is evidence to show that on trees transplanted to the orchard tbe galls continue jto grow, forming ultimate­ ly large warts. When they girdle the trunk they interfere with the move­ ment of sap. Young trees often die of the disease. The galls of varying sixes affect the base of the trunk, the larger roots, and sometimes occur on ot BARRYTILLE. Injury to Tree Allowed Entrance to lM*cte. th* atom above tbe sarteo* of the soil. Affected trees show signs of starva­ tion, yellowish foliage and enfeebled growth. There 1* no effective treatment known. All familiar with the disease recommend the destruction of dtoaoaod nursery stock. Nursery lands In which disease has gained a footing should be used for term or other crop* for thro* years or more. Ap­ parently healthy trees which have grown among those affected with a crown gall should have the roots dip­ ped In Bordeaux mixture as a pre­ caution before Betting them In tbe orcbard. Woolly aphis seems to bo every­ where present on tbe roots of or­ chard trees, as well as very common on nursery stock. Young or old trees, badly affected by woolly-aphis aro apt to bear a feeble appearance. The leaves will appear palo and yellowish. The in­ sect Is especially injurious to young trees.

Most of the insect* confine । their attention to the roots, where , they will commonly be found at an : seasons on roots to a depth of a foot : or more, but some of them infest the I hark of the trunk, or branches and i shoots coming from the roots. They Lare often seen about the margins of I wounds, or at the forks of branches, where while finding food they are more or less protected. There Is a downy cotton-l.'lke secretion from tbe body of the insect, which gives a ffB of them the appearance ot bin­ white mold. The Insect multiplies throughout the milder parts of the year by the birth of living young, which are produced agamically from wingless females. So the soil be­ come* fairly lousy with them in time. The insect spreads rapidly toward the approach of winter by the appearance of '• generation of winged females which fly about, assisted in their trav­ els by the winds. The result Is a wide distribution of the Insect. These in turn bring forth a generation of males and female*. A winter egg Is soon deposited on the bark of the tree in some crevice.' It hatches in the following spring, and a new col­ ony is soon started. Particular care should be used to plant only clean stock. Nursery trees showing much injury by woolly aphis should not be planted. Trees from among infested stock should be treated by dipping the roots in kero­ sene emulsion, containing about ten per cent of kerosent, after dilution. Dipping the roots for a few seconds In water maintained at,a temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit is an ef­ fective simple treatment,' when It can conveniently be dome. Special care should be taken to protect trees the first few years.

It’s your courthouse, isn't it?" "Understood you'd taken a mortgage an it youaelf lately." Marches eat down, looking genially at John. "So yon think I'm a bad man and a disgrace to tbe state?" the senator inqwliwi at last. "Wen. Just about that," John aald Stdekly. "Told Miao Roberta I’m a bad man. dtdaTyeur "I coaid have said that you are a shameful force in polttics; that you have uxptotted a groat party and tbe Ignorance of the people; that you have b«Dt up a machine for the ode pur­ pose of toottag tbe state; that you havo got and hold power by compaUiag pub* Me servants to use. tbe infuenro of Ater odfce to perpetuate your machine and by baying tbe votes ef tho eer* ruptnii.

John looked out of the window, awaiting lu eold silence the senator's next words. Harebell preserved bls usual impasatvu trout It was not the first time he had encountered tbe latoteranoe of youth. But never before, neve during the Sheehan trial, had the intolerance Pfarvod the crust of tbe men. He broke tbe alien w.

"It most bo smashed, because it ex* tots to deprive tbe people of the right ef self government" "A pretty phrase. It’s common sense politics. The people don’t want to gov­ ern themselves—they can't They need some one to take tbe burden from them. How are you going to smash usF “It may be simpler than you think. Senator Harebell. When tbe people understand what you are they’H smash you." The other smiled pityingly. “Yon think because you’ve sent a few poor devils to jail you're a man of destiny, don’t you? You think l*m merely a wicked old fellow who’s got power and Is using It for his own selfish ends. If 1 were just that you could smash me. But I'm more than that. 1 am an Institution—a part of a necessary institution, one that society, that prop­ erty. that business, can’t get along without. You can smash William Murcbell—that Is, put some one In his place. But you can’t smash the insti­ tution. And you can’t judge a system by its Incidental errors." John smiled, not very happily. "I’re he: d before. Tbe weakness of yo.-T argument Is that tbe errors seem to be essential. Government Isn't or shouldn’t be. merely a matter of force, uor exist only as tbe servant of prop­ erty. even if all you say la true. And I’ve got to go on." "And whero'll yon come out?" "I? Yon will try to break me. You may succeed. But you will observe thst I have little to lose.

"So I have Impressed you as a hypocrite trying to get kicked up out of the way. I repent. I'm not for sale.” Ma rehe 11 suddenly rose and put a heavy hand on John's shoulder. "You said you have little to lose. You banmuch—a future. You’re, gone out of liecn afraid that I'd propose to you again?" "I haven't been fool enough to take that seriously," he said quickly. "And I’m old enough to know the danger of playing with tire. At least,” be added. "I ought to have known it." He could not help thinking of the months to come when, with less en grossing tasks to take his mind from the ache, he must renew tbe loneliness, grown more poignant, of tbe Inst win­ ter. He wondered now at bls .weak­ ness in letting himself, despite bls knowledge of her and of what she meant to him. be drawn again within the circuit of her charm. He became aware that she was speaking, with that amazing courage which wax always hers. “I am sorry." she said. "But I haven’t lieen fair to you.

John and Haig had arranged to make together sue September evening their farewell pilgrimage to the ridge. That evening John spent a great deal of care over hla toilet. He drove to tbe home of Silas Hick*, where Haig, wisely avoiding the hos­ pitality of tbe hotel, had hla rooms. Somewhat to bls dismay, be was In­ formed that Haig had discovered some mysterious errand requiring hlx atten­ tion, had departed a half hour earlier and had left word that be would later meet John at their Mecca. “That's funny," muttered John ax he drove away.

Six of our serieo of leteons have to do with Abraham, beginning with the call of Abram in Generis 12. Bays Rev. Wm. Evans, D. D., "The history of Abram centers around s series of manifestations of God, seven In num­ ber, each relating to some point in his character that needed strength­ ening; or reaffirming a promise al­ ready given, or a covenant made. Each vision resulted In an advanced step in the life ot the patriarch.’* We have already studied three of these appearances (Gen. 13:1-3; 12:7­ 9; 13:14-18.) Our portion for today presents two more of God’s communi­ cations to Abraham, so we will take for our Lessen Divlsiess. I. God’s Fourth Manifestation to Abram, 15:1-31 IL God’s Fifth Manifestation to Abram, 17:1-8. The Outline Developed. Since our last lesson there has been war (Gen. 14.) the first war recorded in the Bible. Confirmed by excava­ tions. Abram figures In the war only in that Lot, his nephew, now a citi­ zen of Sodom, was captured and taken from Sodom. Victorious, he returns, but has made enemies. Noto hero the mention of Melchlzedek, n type of Christ (Heb. 7), also of tithes. In 15:1 "After these things" God sa!d “Fear not. Abram: I am thy shield (from enemies of chapter 14.) ami thy exceeding great reward" (may It not be for Abram's actiona in 13:8, 9. also In 14:18-24?) After victors' let us seek His presence, for our hardest battle may come Just after a victory. Abram's question follows (2,3;) sec 12:1-3. God proiinses Abram u seed, Isaac, who typified Chrlat, and a mul­ titude (4, 5.) In verse 6 faith is men­ tioned for the first time In the Bible. Abram "believed in tlie Lord."

How the dining-room (generally) would bo decorated for the occasion, and the conscientious mistress would see that cake and wine were provided, that Judy, or Betty, or Sally (as the case might be), had a white dress and her man a new suit of clothes, and that they were properly married by the nearest Episcopal minister—who nev­ er failed to admonish them beforehand on tbe solemnity of the marriage tie and their duty to each other.

There is much ot greet significance in tho report by local experts that, side by side with the inability of a great many men and women to pro­ cure employment, there is the inabil­ ity of employer* to get worker* to fill the places they have open. This state­ ment reveals clearly that under the complicated processes of modern In­ dustry a man's willingness to work is far from qualifying him for work waiting to be done. The person wish­ ing to be sure of employment must specialize in one or more of the many classes of work for which there seems always to bo a scarcity of labor. As emphasized in the report referred to, the person who relies upon bis ability to perform unspeciaMzed tasks will find himself in constant competition with the three or four like*- himself to quest of the one job open for them. The very best advice that can be giv­ en a young man or woman today la this: Learn to do some one thing better than most other persons can do it Specialize and keep up to date In your specialty.

Throsgh a Ceatral Clesriag Hone in Co-openUleB With Otter SccUobk. There will be a public meeting nt the court house Saturday afternoon. March 15, commencing at 1:00 o'clock, for the purpose of organizing a Farmers Society of Equity, for the purpose of marketing the crops of this section through a central clearing house in co-operation with other sec­ tions producing the same crops. Now, brother farmer. Just stop and consider tor a moment what this means. The farmers are the. only body in the world not organized or in some kind of a combine. We are the greatest producers in the world; we labor the most hours at the hardest work. Why give all our profit to some middlemen and sharks? The F. S. E. does away with all this. They have warehouses in all the largest cities of the United States. We can step to cur telephones at any moment and get prices direct from them as to the best market at the highest price; in this way ruinous competition will end, better prices be secured. This na­ tional organisation comes to end the reign of speculators, exploiters and gamblers in farm products, and give the farmer Independent and profitable prices In marketing his crop. It also gives you a chance to buy your goods at far leas cost than at present. Why do you hesitate for a moment to took into a matter of so great Importance to yon and the coming generations. We have the profitable co-operative creamery, all know what it la doing tor our country; we now get what the middleman got. This society will benefit the creamery, giving ns better prices for dur butter. There are a number of these societies already started in Michigan and their only erv is union. There are a great number of societies in the west carrying on the great business of that country. Many of you are reading the Up-toDate Farmer, you are not ignorant of these facts, it's only a matter of get­ ting busy, uniting your forces and marketing things more. As to the ex­ pense it is scarcely worth mentioning, as could easily be made back many ♦tmes over the first year. It costs $2 tor the first year, 51.50 each year ot­ ter, or 85 for five years. This Includes the whole family up to the boy of 18. You also In connection with this get the Up-to-Date Fanner, the third power book and Farm Progress a year. You can make it socially just what you desire, but It is a business proposltlcn, making it possible for the . farmers to meet a couple of times a month, talking over the prices, get­ ting your produce together, shipping direct to the consumer and thus keep­ ing the profits yon are now constantly throwing away. A speaker from Jack­ son is expected at this meeting to try to make it more plain to you. Every­ body be sure to come; it can't hur: you. Get united and the farmer will fill the place he should fill. Let every farmer remember the date, March 15. Ladies, be sure to come too. You who are to vote in the coming years, there will be no better place to educate yourselves on this line. Every rail­ road station or shipping point Is eli­ gible to a society where ten or more men will unite Hiram W. Payne has been appoint­ ed local organizer of this county.

Last Saturday a deal was con­ summated by means of which Messrs. Louis R. and William L. Shulters of this city become the new proprietors of the American laundry on Staio street, they having purchased the plant and good will of the late owners. Zagelmeler Brothers. Both of these young men are too well known to the people of Hastings to require any Introduction, and while neither of them has ever had any ex­ perience in the laundry business they are both versed in the quality of work which should come from an up-todate laundry, and they assure us that they will leave no stone unturned to make the American one of the best laundries in the Interior of Michigan. If new help or new machinery Is necessary to bring about results they propose to have it. and their motto will bo the best there is in laundry for their patrons. The Journal-Her­ ald joins with a host of friends in wishing them a grand success from the start. Mr. W. L. Shulters will for the present retain Ills position in the postofflee, while Louis will devote his entire attention to the now business. 378011 A SAP HOME COMING Body of Morel Fisher Broaght hum Pasadena, Accompanied by Yeung Widow, The body of Murel Fisher arrived in this city on Monday from Pasa­ dena, California, where he died Feb­ ruary 26th following an operation for appendicitis. The funeral was held at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Orr Fisher, Wednesday afternoon at 2:06 o'clock under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of which order he was a beloved and esteemed member. Murel Fisher was born in Hastings township March 24th, 18W, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fisher, living east of this city.

Bell coffees at* FIRE SATURDAY MORNING WILLIAM HITCHCOCK AND FRED NEWSON WERE HEAVIEST LOBER& Blaze Was Caused by ExpMlBg GnsoUae Steve 1b Rooms Over Hlteheoek’s Stere. Last Saturday morrfing an alarm of fire was turned in about 8:30 ’clock, but through some twisting In the wires It reported the fire In the vicinity of the table factory, the dial on the clock in the engine house showing No. 46. The company made a hurried drive to the factory and were surprised to find no fire there. While debating what to do in the matter they were summoned to the scene of the real fire which proved to be the stores on Creek street oc­ cupied by William Hitchcock as a second hand store and J. C. Elliot as a general store. The fire was caused by the ex­ plosion of a gasoline stove In the rooms over Hitchcock's store occu­ pied by Mrs. George Gallup. Mrs. Gallup had lighted the stove and stepped into a neighbor's for a mo­ ment When she returned the room was a mass of flames. Mrs. Fred Newton occupied rooms on the second floor of the building occupied by Mr. Elliott and lost con­ siderable by fire and water. Mrs. Hitchcock had a number of rooms furnished for rent over her busband's store and all of her furniture was ruined. . There were two sharp explosions daring the fire and one of them blew the windows oat of the Hitchcock building and clear across the street. The building in which Mr. Hitchcock waa located bad recently become the property of Bert Sadler, of Kalama­ zoo, and his loss was about 1800 with Insurance of 8600. J. A. Elliott lost about 8500 and his loss was covered by insurance. Fred A. Newton lost about 8800 on building and contents. Mrs. George Gallup lost everything she had and is in a delicate condition and should re­ ceive some assistance from the char­ itable citizens of the city. Mrs. Lyburgor also occupied rooms over the Hitchcock store and she lost her clothing and some furniture. Mr. Hitchcock is again in bls old stand and doing business there. He stated that he figured his loss at about 8200. It was a fierce fire for a time and the fire fighters showed great skill In handling the blaze as well as they did. Mr. Elliott will move his stoctf back Into the damaged building, and hold a fire sale as soon as lie gets his Insurance adjusted. Street Names Change April IsL The common council after many years wrestling with the confusing street names, have changed the name of several Ln such a manner as to continue the streets from one side of the city to the other. The following changes were made: Michigan ave­ nue to take up Creek street from river bridge south. Elizabeth street on north side of the river is changed to Hanover, a continuation of Hanover street, Cemetery avenue to State Road, Elm to Colfax, Oat to Grant. Valley to Church, Water to Boltroad, Henry to East, Battle Creek Rond to Shriner, and several other minor changes. HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, MARCH 6,191:1.

Ferris, has accepted the tender from the democratic state central committee of the nomination for jus­ tice of the supreme court, taking the place left vacant on the ticket by George L. Yaple’s determination not to run. “Your letter of the twenty-first Instant makes clear my duty to ac­ cept the nomination for supreme jus­ tice," Judge Murphy wrote to the governor. "While realizing that they are undeserved, I deeply appreciate the generous sentiments you express. I am willing to have my name sub­ mitted to the people for this office, if ■ the state committee shall nominate me." Judge Murphy also received a let­ ter from State Chairman Shields, pressing him to accept the nomina­ tion. This is the fourth time that Judge Murphy has been offered the candi­ dacy. Three conventions have tend­ ered it to him, but in each case he has expressed an unwillingness to r “Gov. Ferria’ letter was couched in such terms that I could not refuse,” said Judge Murphy, Saturday. “I re­ gard him as the leader of the party la Michigan, and respect his wishes a* commands.” Judge Murphy has lived In Detroit all his life. He was graduated from the Detroit College of Law. In 1899 he was elected recorder for a term of •lx years. At the end of that period he was elected one of the six circuit judges of Wayne county, running 18,­ 000 votes ahead of his ticket and 8,000 votes ahead of. the republican who received the largest vote of his party. Judge Murphy’s victory was decisive because of his record ss re­ corder, for during bis term on the criminal bench he was not once re­ versed by the supreme court Judge Murphy has served seven years on the circuit bench, and in that time has rendered many Important "decisions. When the Fbrt-st case was tried in the circuit court, Judge Murphy wrote the decision, whlcn has just been upheld by the decree of the supreme court It was tho flrst time that an important public utility case of that nature had been decided in Wayne county, and the de­ cision Involved many intricate points ■4 -\ Again in the spring of 1911, Judge Murphy led hls ticket, being re-elect­ ed by 3,000 votes over the nearest reyubUcan. Judge Murphy was one of the flrst advocates of a juvenile court for De­ troit. and his work in its behalf was very important In securing its estab­ lishment For several months he has been speaking to political and civic organizations in favor of the proposed domestic relations court, for which a bill is now before the legislature. It has long been Judge Murphy’s belief that people are not so much bound by partisanship in * judicial election as they are in contests for executive and legislative positions. He believes that while the courts do act make the laws, the influence of progressive men on the bench is al­ ways felt Having accepted tho nomination, Judge Murphy will make a strong fight for the office. During the next few weeks he will campaign in the state, delivering many speeches to both-political and civic organizations. i •- r Jsdgmeat Before EvHeaee* The trouble with the republican papers In the Third congressional district contest is they want to ren­ der a verdict before the evidence is submitted. By the admission of wit­ nesses not all friendly to the demo­ cratic candidate, enough of the im­ perious and reckless assumption which has caused the split in the party has been gathered to vitiate the election of not only a congressman but of other officers as well. The airing of methods where the official* of election boards were all of one party would surely show tho necessity of bipartisan make up of such boards. A state law compelling such boards to be made up of the several leading parties would help some, but It needs capable men to fill tho place. Tho people of the third district elected by honest ballots either a republican or democrat. After all the evidence Is in wo have no doubt but a fair de­ cision will be made by congress. At any rate, there will be better methods governing election boards In the sev­ eral counties of the third district of Michigan. The old saw “Experience is a dear school" etc., applies. Recalled That Decision. A Baltimore magistrate. Judge Dobler, recently ruled that “a man who turns over hls pay envelope to his wife is no man at all—the man should HASTINGS J<>rn\AI-CT:iLM.D. THURSDAY, MARCH C, HI*, be the financial head of the family.’ The Judge made a great error in hls summing up. The axerage woman lr bettor able to finance the wants of the lamlly than men. Who ever heard of the wife with the pay envelope stop at a saloon to have It cashed, end have a chat with the "boys,” and have to be led home with half of the week's wages to no better purpose than to produce a splitting headache lhe next day? The wife knows the value of every penny, she knows what clothing the children need, how much food Is wanted, and what debts, perhaps on the little home which shelters them. No, judge, you are dead wrong. The husband who gives up hls pay envelope to hls faithful wife. In most cases, knows hls own weakness, nnd Is much happier for his act.

Byron Platt, who mode his first ap­ pearance on tho Hastings lyceum plat­ form Monday night, will not soon be forgotten. His fine presence, hls im­ passioned, eloquent utterance, hi* seriousness and earnestness conform­ ed fully with the tremendously im­ portant subject which he discussed. With nothing prudish nor affected nor vague, he made a most effective plea for purity of living, he pictured Sn all its bideonsness the social evil* ot the times and their terrible menace to tho race, ho showed the folly of keeping young people Ignorant of the laws of physical life, thereby subjecting them to temptations that often lead to mor­ al ruin on account ot ignorance, and urged that sex hygiene be taught in our public schools. With rapid utterance and an occa­ sional story well told and acted, Mr. Platt held hls audience very closely to hls thought for an hour and a half, as he set forth in no uncertain words tho vital lesson he was teaching, that Ig­ norance of the laws of life should nn longer be encouraged or tolerated, but that It should give place to a plain, reverential teaching of facts.

The Gentleman from Burry, and Ills Wife. The following Interesting sketch of our representative in the legislature and his wife is taken from the Daily Mining Gazette, of Houghton, in its Issue of Feb. 25: Henry C. Glasner, merchant farmer, of Nashville, Barry county, will bear watching, and while one's eyes are expectantly glued upon Henry C., they must not stray too far nfleld from Mrs. Henry C., the better half of the gen­ tleman from Barry. Glasner, tall, with broad, but slightly stooped shoul­ ders, youthful in figure and In face, but with a certain seriousness of mien which lends dignity and poise to hi-j person, is a man to be reckoned with In the future political history of Mich­ igan. The more fact that he Is a democrat need not be taken into con­ sideration. Political chance doesn't stop men of Glnsner’s typo—especially men of Glnsner’s type when backed with a helpmate of Mr. Glasner's type. Of all the victories which will be recorded for the forty-seventh legis­ lature, the passage of the Glasner eu­ genics bill will be recorded as the greatest. 1 c.okcd upon by many orig­ inally as a hopeless, others as a silly, and still others as a decidedly danger­ ous fad, few were Inclined at the opening of the present session to treat the “pure marriage" bill seriously. Mrs. Glasner has several babies, and a home down in Nashville, and a big, boyish husband. It bos not been re- , corded that the babies go unwashed , or unfed, nor that the house goes un- ! swept, nor that Hank’s sox go un­ mended, and yet Mro. Glasner is a new woman of the very newest sort. She is proud of her husband, and she was just as much interested in the fate of hls bill as he was. Up and down the state ranged the devoted pair, speak­ ing wherever an audience was given them, fiver driving home vital truths which they had learned in their study of the great problem of eugenics, it has been remarked that Mrs. Glasner Is a new woman; she is also a club woman, naturally, and, it goes without saying, a suffraget And she fount among her most loyal supporters ber sisters of tbe Michigan Federation of Women’s clubs and the Equal Suf­ frage society of Michigan. That the women are quite willing to stand chances with the men and (o pass as rigid n physical examination as their brothers, was indicated dur­ ing the argument on an amendment reetrictlng the provisions of the bill to males. Bricker of Ionia denounced the attempt to nullify the measure, and asserted that a house which had just passed by an overwhelming ma­ jority an equal suffrage amendment could not consistently vote to exclude women from the workings of the Glasner bill. Hls remarks were greeted with lusty applause from the women who plentifully decorated the side lines. THURNDAT, MARCH d, IfijR. God's sixth appearance to Abrahnir. and the latter's intercession for Lot after the destruction of Sodom was announced to Abraham, preparing its for the execution of the righteous judgment of God against sin In to­ day's lesson. While the Lord talked with Abraham, the two angels turned toward Sodom (18:22,) arriving there at dusk (19:1.) Lot was found sit­ ting in the gate, an official of the city ho had once “pitched hls tent" to­ ward, Identified with the people to some extent It would appear (verso 7, brethren.) and the object of con­ tempt (verse 9) for his worldliness Abraham “ran to meet them" (18:2;) not so with Lot So sonic today, through ignorance or Indifference, while professing to belong to Him, show little or no Interest In the com­ ing of our Lord. They had to b3 urged before they entered into hls house. Is He at home in your house? In verses 4-11 we see the character of Sodom, lawless and full of fleshly lusts. Our Lord predicts conditions similar to those of the days of Lot before He comes (Luke 17:28, 29,) and Is not the responsibility greater in these days of greater enlightenment (Matt. 11:23, 24?) Look nt our modern Sodoms, with their twentieth century Lots. Judgment is announced (verses 12, 13.) Lot went out as a witness that judgment was coming, but the people paid no atlention to his message; he had no power, be­ cause Illa life was not right. They scorned his words. Men do the same today when we sound out tho note of judgment to come. Lot was not much concerned about the matter himself, for he “lingered," nnd was saved “so as by fire." Teachers, are you In earnest when you teach the Word ot God? Or do your pupils know that you are yourself a linger­ er? Urged to escape, Lot Anally leaves the doomed city and enters into Zonr. In verse 23 “The sun was gone forth upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar." So will the Son Lome forth in the clouds of the earth when we leave this region “where sin abounds” to meet Him. The judgment was from Jehovah, upon Sodom and Gomorrah, brimstone and fire, a judgment of destruction. We look likewise for a judgment of fire, and destruction (2 Peter 3; Rev. 2; 2 Thea. 1:7-9.) Remember Lot’s wife" (Luke »:«2; Phil. 3:13, 14.) Verses 30-38 record Lot's furth­ er degradation. Moabites and chil­ dren of Ammon were enemies of Israel. No record of Lot’s death.

It is no longer unusual for us to get reports from farmers who have been using manure spreaders consistently for periods ranging from three to five years, to the effect that their land is regularly raising so much more produce that the value of the land is almost doubled. I H C Manure Spreaders are made, in various styles and sizes to meet all conditions. The low machines are not too low to be hauled, loaded, through deep mud or snow. I H C spreaders are made with trussed steel frames in wide, medium and narrow styles; all of guaranteed capacity. There are both return and endless aprons. In short, there is an I H C spreader built to meet your conditions and made to spread manure, straw, lime, or ashes as required. I H C spreaders will spread manure evenly on the level, going up hill, or down. The wheel rims are wide and equipped with Z-shaped lugs, which provide ample tractive power.

Thomas, nt Chickamauga, wps march­ ing through Athens, a bright-eyed little girl of four summers was an interested spectator of the sturdy fel­ lows as they tramped by. When she saw the sun shining on the brlgh: new flag, dazzling with golden stars on the field of blue, she exclaimed, clapping her hands; "Oh, papa! God made that ling: SCe the stars; its God's flag.” A shout went up from the column nnd many a bronzed veteran lifted his cap as he passed tho sunny haired child, with bright and happy thoughts: resolving. If his good right arm availed anything, God's flag should conquer. What a sweet and happy christen­ ing the glorious ensign received from thoE1 .- artless lips—'God's flag,’ and so it is. This was not the only time inspira­ tion to the weary and foot-sore Union soldiers came through a sight of Old Glory. At Charlottesville, Va., we saw black men and women drop on their knees In prayer by the side of the road and beg to kiss the flag of deliverance. On Ta Gettysburg. "On to Gettysburg,” is now the cry. The army of Meade and Lee will meet again. The stripes and 48 stars will be the “Union" flag, the stars and bars with eleven stars will serve to show the flag which Lee fought un­ der, but which went down at Appomatox. "Cheers for the bloc; cheera for the gray,” will go up from thousands of throats when tho boys go marching by. Tbo line will only be a few halting and bent, crippled end agtsd survivors of the greatest battle in the world's history, but pa­ triotic hearts will beat under the vesture of blue nnd gray alike. There is no north and south, when this great nation calls’for troops; the Spanish and the Philippine war demonstrated that, a few short years gone by. Tho prompt action of the Texas governor In rushing troops to protect the flag emphasizes the true acceptance of tbe arbitrament of the strife of 1861-65. Greater and grander Is the nation, because of its undivided territory; it It fitting that the surviving partici­ pants In the great battle among the hills of Pennsylvania, should meet to commemorate the event fifty yeais after. “Peace hath its victories, no less renowned than war.” PAGE ELEVEN BRICK HOUSE BY PARCEL POST Detroit.Dealers Do Their Share Tn-, wards Chlcuco Building.

During a period ot expanding busi­ ness profits at first usually rise more rapidly than expenses. That thia has not been the case with the Tollways of the United States during the recent high tide of traffic 1s shown by their returns for the calendar year 1912. Tbe total operating revenues arejthelr total receipts from freight and pass­ enger traffic, from carrying mall and express and from miscellaneous sources. Operating Income is the amount which after all expenses have been paid remains for rentals, Interest on hoods, appropriations for better­ ments, Improvements, new construc­ tion and for dividends. The total receipts of tbe railways of the east were 11511 per mile high­ er than for 1911, but operating in­ come gained only 3240. The total re­ ceipts of the railways of the south in­ creased 3492 a mile for tbe year, but operating Income suffered a loss ot 3109. The railways in the west gslned 3229 per mile in operating in­ come, which offset the loss of ap­ proximately tbe same amount In the previous year. If the closing six months of 1912 be alone considered the situation was not so unfavorable but even for this period of mounting traffic the increase in expenses out­ ran tbe increase in receipts. That tbe funds available for devel­ oping and extending the railways have not kept pace with the growth in traffic or tbe Increased expenses of operation is shown by tbe following percentages. For tho railways of the cast tbe total operating revenues in­ creased 7.2 per cent., operating ex­ penses 8.3 per cent, and taxes 8 per cent, leaving on Increase In operat­ ing Income of 4.3 per cent Fbr tho railways of the south total, operating revenues increased 4.9 per cent., operating' expenses 8.4 per cent, and taxes 2.8 per cent, leaving a decrease In operating income of 4 per cent. The unusual traffic of the west en­ abled the railways of that section to obtain an increase of 8.4 per cent tu operating income, which just about balances tbe lossea sustained during $ 191L The foregoing figures are all upon % the mile of line tests and were com­ $ plied by the Bureau of Railway Econ­ omics from tbe reports made to the © Interstate Commerce Commission by the railways haring total annual operating revenues of one million V dollars or over.

Here is one: When the Union army was sta­ tioned at Bird’s Point, Mo., secession­ ists were supposed to have rights Union soldiers must respect, and there were strict orders against jay­ hawking. Colonel Oglesby was li command of the 8th Illinois infantry. One day his fife and drum majors went out In the nearby woods to practice. Attracted no doubt by the discordant melody, a fine young ahote came near, too near, for the bassdrununer, by a rapid change of base, made a base attack on bls front; while the filer charged his porkship in the rear. It was soon over and piggy was a martyr to hls love for music. But how to get the deceased porker Into camp? That was what's tbe matter now. Unole Sam's boys were generally quick to solve any riddle of like char­ acter, and the Idea struck them that they would put the dead one into the boss-drum, which they did, and started for quarters, carrying the drum between them. They were a little late and the regiment was on the parade ground for dress parade. The colonel vexed at the absence of hls musicians saw them sneaking into camp, and in a loud voice of W, dsMr. to annoonc, to th, pnpk £ reprimand ordered them to take their places with the music.

If a girl takes it nowadays, It’ll make her a wallflower and eventually an old maid, or, I suppose I should say, bach­ elor girl.” "Something has gone wrong,” said one of the girls sagely. "Did you know Sue Dickinson is married again?” asked Phoebe. "No!” ejaculated the others. "Wbo "Kenneth Leaverett." •'You don’t mean it!” "Yes, I do. And that's what set me to thinking upon old-time advice. In spite of everything her parents said, she ran away, you remember, and mar­ ried Ned Willoughby. Then she quar­ reled with him and finally got a divorce. And now in less than a year she Is married again. And here are all of us, quiet, ladylike, well-bred girls, hanging yet on the parental stem.” "Huh!" said ono indignantly. "I wouldn’t want to marry either Ned Willoughby or Kenneth Leaverett" “That may be," replied Phoebe. “But even if you had, you wouldn’t have had the chance. You’re not for­ ward enough. I don't want to get Into personalities," she said hastily, as she saw a gleam in the other girl's eye. “I’m just drawing deductions.

And who do you think was tbe most popular girl there, quiet well-bred little me or charming Alice Markham?

And that’s more than the rest of us did." "I wouldn’t care for the attenttoos of men like that," said another. “Oh, they were flood enough, as men go,” replied Phoebe. “You have to take them as they are. You can’t make them to ordaa.” . “It seems to me, then,” said a fourth, "that the men are to blame for all the forwardness and flippancy in girls, and tho way they dress and all tbe other things they do that they shouldn't It would be sort of com­ fortable to blame the men for it all, wouldn't itr* “They won’t care,’’ quoth Phoebe. They’ll go right on showering all their attentions on the girl with the most false hair and the biggest hats and the tightest skirts and the readiest laugh, whether there Is any­ thing to laugh at or not.” "Let them," interrupted another. There’s something more to life than merely pleasing tbe men. If I prefer refinement and good breeding and good taste, or think they are right and their opposites wrong, I am' act going to throw them over merely to win masculine favor. I think we ought to get down to the bedrock fact of what to right and worth while, not merely to whether our conduct will win fleeting popular favor. We want those thingsNn our character that are going to give us luting satisfaction.

Brother Farmer:—There seems to he a lot of dissatisfaction in regard to the highways and the wny we do our work. We are all liable to make mistakes which is the common lot of all. Now, in the first place, the fact exists that wo do not raise money enough to do the work. If it would take >25.00 to fix a piece of road and you only had 110.00 to do It with, what kind of a showing could be made? Now just take this into considera­ tion. When the old law was in ef­ fect there was twenty-five cents on every one hundred dollar valuation for the pathmaster to work out, be­ side road and bridge fund which couU be used for building and repairing bridges and culverts, and when that law was in effect the wages were 12% cents per hour. Now it is 17% to 20 cents per hour and 13.50 and 14.00 per day for a man and team. Now, Brother Farmer, the whole expense is paid out of the 25 per cent; just stop and think this over. If your bam bad to be shingled and It coat 125.00 to do it, what kind of a job would you have if you only bad >12.50 to do the work with. Just study this out and be fair as I am giving you facts in the matter. A great deal is being said of late concerning state award roads, and money raised for that purpose. The township of Hastings is shy on gravel and that is the main material used in the building of state award roads, and it coats a lot of money and the blame ta laid on the town board. Just be fair now. and look the matter square in the face. We vote so much for them to spend, and they stay within the limits, and if they did not we would not like that. I am not taking sides with one per­ son more than another, for there are two republicans and two democrats on the board and they are good men. I want to say some more regarding the good roads subject. There is a lot of good material around here, gravel with clay mixed, but that will not draw the award. There is anoth­ er way, and that is to put clay on sand and sand on clay. I have tried that out and they make good roads, but you can’t get the state award on that kind of construction. Now, Fanners, lets get busy and help the township board and the commissioner, and I think that he should work the roads straight and not so crooked, and make the roadway It feet wide which is the proper width. Just a few words, now. in closing. I would advise some of our brothers to take a good nerve tonic and quiet down a little; it will benefit them all. With good will to all I am, J. W. Cooley. Ex-Highway Com'r. Hastings Township. Another Year Far Conkling. We are pleased to note the selection of Prof. W. E. Conkling as superin-, ten dent of our city schools for anoth­ er year, at an advanced salary. Mr. Conkling has bad. a strenuous year in the past He found inadequate room and considerable dlsorganisataion, but by "patience and plodding," order has come out of chaos and the school machinery is moving without the least friction. The addition of more room in the two ward buildings has re­ lieved the tension on the central buildings, but it has not fully over­ come the want of more and better room for the advanced classes. The school board and superintend­ ent are working together, and Host­ ings is retaining its name for good schools. Select Good Candidates. As "a harbinger of spring" the peren­ nial button holding is going on around the corner. The only admoni­ tion needed ir- to select good, qualified candidates. The choice of the town­ ship and city officers will be largely n personal one thia year. No one seems to want to adhere strictly to party lines, and this Is a good situa­ tion; for it will force party tdherents can hold the ofllce but two years to be filled. The city has a clerk, treasurer, jus­ tice, two supervisors and four aider­ men and constables to select this year. Secretary Smith’s Proposal. Secretary Shirley W. Smith's ■ re1cent proposal that the Michigan Alumni organisation of New York City establish a fund with which to make an annual award to the Mich­ igan graduate who achieves the high­ est distinction during the year, has met with enthusiastic approval. It has been further suggested that such recognition take the form of a tablet to be erected In n room reserved for the purpose in Memorial hall. Pro­ fessor R. M. Wenlcy, of the phil­ osophy department, would guard against the danger of permitting practical interests to crowd out the ideals of culture and scholarship by providing a varied representation on the committee that makes the award each year. Professor Adams points out the desirability of avoiding the mere notoriety of calling public atten­ tion to the achievements of Michigan graduates. Although Michigan has trained many men for governmental affairs and has prepared men for a great variety of technical and profes­ sional positions, it has never been a part of Michigan tradition to parade the achievements of these men. The present plan, as Secretary Smith con­ ceives it, is to recognize conspicuous service of a humanistic sort and not to offer inducements in the form of a monetary reward. SECURING SUES FOR.

Proposals For Sale or Dn nation of Land For Site Are Made to Treasury Department _____ a_ Tho recent congressional appropria­ tion for a post ofllce building in this city, makes the question of bow the treasury department at Washington goes about the process of selecting a site one of local Interest. Upon the enactment of a law au­ thorizing the acquisition of a site for a federal building th® treasury de­ partment invites, through a local newspaper, proposals for the sale or donation of land suitable for the pur­ pose. The offers are opened in Washing­ ton nt the time staled in the adver­ tisement, and as soon thereafter as practicable an agent of the depart­ ment Is sent to make n personal ex­ amination of the proposed locations and such others as he deems desira­ ble, and to investigate the reasonable­ ness of the prices placed on the prop­ erties as compared with recent sales of real estate in that vicinity. Based on the agent's report, together with written representations from other sources, the department selects the site and, if the property is to be ac­ quired by purchase, accepts the offer of the successful bidder. No Inter­ mediary between the land owner and the government is necessary. Whenever the department is unable to secure from the owner a propositi to sell the site desired for a reasona­ ble price, a resort may be had to condemnation proceedings to ascer­ tain the valuation of the property. If the price, so judicially determined, Is satisfactory, the award Is confirmed and payment made. If the damages are deemed excessive, however,, the proceedings are dismissed and some other location is taken under consid­ eration. When the department has selected a site, such action to final unless the vendor falls to perform the conditions of the contract with him, or the prop­ erty can not be acquired at a price the department would feel justified in paying. When once the title to a site Is vested in the United States, a new act of congress would bo necessary to enable the department to change to some other location. Plans for public buildings are taken up lu the order in which the titles to the sites therefor are vested in the United States, and the contracts for their construction are let at as early a date os practicable. HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, MARCH 13,1913. JUDGE SMITH WRITES FROM EAU GALLIE SURROUNDED BY FLOWERS AND BIRDS HE TELLS DELIGHTS OF SOUTHLAND. East Const of Florida, With Its SemiTropical Climate, Mecca of Winter Tourists. We reached Eau Gallie, Florida, on March 1st, and I am happy to Bay, that we are well, comfortable, happy and of course enjoying ourselves. Eau Gallie Is a fine little village and I am sure there is no more restful place on the East Coast railway. It Is peopled with modest, healthy folks, who are most cordial and kindly to all about them. It Is not a fashionable resort, and therefore most desirable for the writer. There is much socia­ bility. however, and Mrs. Smith and •Mrs. Cook are at a tea party this af­ ternoon, and there Is to be a social gathering this evening, to which we arc all invited. Eau Gallic Is a village of about five hundred, besides a great many winter tourists and transients. It is on the west bank of the Indian river, a fine river about two hundred miles in length, running north and south. At this point It is more than two miles wide, and Is a clear, clean stream of water. There la a fine harbor here deep enough, and large enough, for nil river boats, and It is the best and saf­ est harbor on the east shore. To the south of the village is the Eau Gallio river, a fine deep stream which empties into Indian river. The village Is from fifty to a hundred feet above the sea level, and the soil is so fine and dry as to make the place a desirable one in which to Hve. 'Beyond the Indian river to the east is a strip of lanu varying from a third of a mile to a mile in width, and then the great Atlantic ocean, so that we are about three miles from the ocean shore. . There are many winter tourists here, living in comfortable houses and cottages. They come In the fall and remain till May or June, and to people who are not vigorous enough to stand the winter of the north It Is surely an Ideal place. These people are among I he best, and with the splendid people who live here all the time they consti­ tute a community or town which make It a fine place for transients like our­ selves and the M. L. Cook's who are near us In a very comfortable hotel and surroundings known as the “Southland hotel.” The thermometer since our arrival has registered from 70 to 85 all the time, but there Is always breeze enough to relieve any excessive heat. We are stopping with my cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Ainsworth, formerly of Grand Rapids, who are well known to many Barry county people, espec­ ially In the east part, and In Nashville, where he was a prominent business man for many years. The house in which they have lived so many years, and which 1* to my mind a little gem. has lately been sold, tut I doubt it it will mean their re­ moval from here, except as they come north for the summer month* of June, July, August and September. They are much attached to the place, and he is a member of the common council of tbe village, and Interested in the growth and development of tbe town. As I sit here on the porch of the house writing this, I am conscious of most pleasant surroundings, The birds are singing al] about me. The flower* are beautiful In their color and fragrance. The shrubbery and vegetation of the south on every hand. The fruit grove of orange, grape fruit, tangerines, qnlnqnats, lemons, bananas and other fruits are fine. To me the most beau­ tiful and interesting are the orange and grape fruit trees, and the most wonderful are the grape fruit trees. These small trees, from the branches of which hang this Luscious, heavy fruit, la a source of constant admira­ tion to me. 1 have seen a half dozen, large grape fruit hanging in a cluster from a stem smaller than one’s little finger, sway­ ing in the breeze. The fiber of these trees in closeness and strength is wonderful. The fruit as it Is taken from the tree for use Is surely far su­ perior In its richness and juicy sweet­ ness to that which we get In our northern homes. Who shall say that one cannot be happy nnd comfortable with such fruit at every meal, and the license to pick It off the trees, and cat it at any time. Surely our lines have fallen In pleas­ ant places these last few' days, and yet we are in our dear old United States, and this is the second day of a democratic administration. HIh Freedom Short A.

Last Tuesdav night our cltisens no­ ticed a freight train rushing through the city at a very rapid speed, with no respect to the established laws gov­ erning tbe speed limit*. A short time before, tbe regular freight had gone through and had reached Middleville, and was standing on the main track, not even having time to get tbe block system in operation, when without any warning, the extra crashed into the rear end of the regular freight There was a crash and six cars were reduced to a mass of broken tim­ bers, iron and merchandise, which at once caught fire and burned up. Tbe section men from Hastings and other places along the line were called out and accompanied the wrecking car to the scene of the accident. Fortunately no one was injured in the crash and the loss is confined to merchandise and rolling stock belong­ ing to tbe company. The crew of the extra train were to blame for the ac­ cident as they bad been warned to look out for the regular freight Oratorical Cantert. At tbe blgb school room Friday evening at 7:30, a contest in declama­ tion and oratory will be held, by student* of the high school.

The High School orchestra will play under direction of Mr. Mercer, and vocal music will be in charge of MIbs Fetter. Change of Time. The C. K. & 8. have changed the time of the afternoon passenger trains. Going north it arrives at this station. 4:15 p. m.; going south leaves nt 5:45 p. m. This bunches the trains somewhat, ns the M. C. train arrives at 4:27 p. m. and goes east at 5:21 p. m. The banks cannot accommodate Delton. Cloverdale and Shultz except bp special arrangement, but It gives visitors to Kalamazoo nearly one hour more time, while our Woodland visitors get an hour more here. There is no change in the morning trains. Ono Dollar Per Year HOUSEKEEPER’S DAY AT WOMEN’S CLUB THE HOUSE WAS BUILT, FURNISH­ ED, CARED FOR, AND CLEANED BY SPEAKERS OF THE DAY.

Buy or make a roll of 4-lnch bandage and cut off a square when needed to grease r ake and cookie tins. Any thing which makes for daintiness In the serving of a dessert is not time wasted. Mrs. R. I. Hendershott in speaking of the care and preserving of fruits said that home canned fruit not only was more economical but was much more healthful than that put up In canning factories; in emergencies a well stocked fruit cupboard helps to add daintiness to the meal. There is the necessity for personal and careful marketing in choosing fruit to put up nnd quick care of ripe fruit is essen­ tial. The program was closed with hints about house cleaning given by I Mrs. C. A. Kerr; the Idea of giving up the best days of the spring and fall to a general tearing up of the house was deplored and use of common sense In tbe method of assuring absolute clean­ liness in the home was urged. Gradu­ ally people are getting to feel that a little cleaning all the time is better then a great overhauling twice a year and the general aversion of men to the house cleaning season is beginning to bear fruit. One room torn up at a time saves the strength of the house­ wife and tbe nerves of the whole fam­ ily. The different Ideas advanced in this aeries of talks were discussed at length and much pleasure and benefit were derived from this early spring meeting. Twenty-seven active and nine associate member* were present. Nine ladles were the guests of the %lub. Friday afternoon, March 7th, was “Housekeeper’s Day" al the Hasting* Women’s club. A short business ses­ sion preceded the program. Mrs. Frank Sage, Mrs. Carnahan and Miss Holbrook were named for active mem­ bership. The historical committee asked for any information which could be remembered regarding the presi­ dency of Mrs. Elizabeth Barber. The mother’s pension bill was presented by the corresponding secretary and was endorsed by the club. The edu­ cational and civic improvement com­ mittees explained the school gardens which are to be conducted during the summer and the club voted |10 to bo expended for bulbs and given to the children of the ward which shows greatest improvement in cleaning up and beautifying Ito yards.

Among some Siberian tribes, for instance, a man need only uncover his wife’s head and walk away, and the Eskimo has only to FOR leave his house and stop away in pre­ tended anger for a day or two.

The Journal-Herald “Wan^ Ads." will sell your house or farm. * P ‘ with you on that new house or addition you are going to build this spring. this purpose, we know it is right for we have sold a great many care of it and have yet to receive the first complaint. ' Test Seed Cent Kew. Already the farmer to thinking of his spring crop*. Perhaps he to hunting up hi* plow, harness and may perhaps be trying to think where he left the plow last year. All these things will come to him before he wants to use them. But is he in­ specting the seed he is going to use? How about the seed corn? Has it been kept where it was dry and from freezing? Years ago when • folks lived In log houses, they were in the habit of "tracing up” seed corn and hanging it from tbe raftera They had no trouble to make it grow, be­ cause it had been thoroughly dried out and did not pass through a very low temperature; there was no esti­ mate of 80 or 90 per cent fertile grains out of 100. Farmer friend, did you ever figure cut what loss ten per cent means to you? Have you realized that ten per cent loss In missing hills on each acre, was six bushels of shelled corn, or 60 bushels, in each ten acre fields. Do you know that to a loss of >30.00 for each ten acres, or six time* as much as the seed would cost you, If you took care of it at the proper time? Nor to that all tbe loss you sustain; you cultivate that one-tenth the same as you do the nine-tenths, but you get no return for your labor. Don’t you realize you are getting the worst of it? Bettor late than never; try out your seed corn, by sprouting it to find what proportion will grow, and If you find it less than 90 per cent, hunt around and buy corn which will test out more, but be sure you are getting climated corn,—that Is, com raised In the same locality and for this sec­ tion medium dent corn. Farmers' institutes are held to teach how to increase the product of each acre, and this is one of tbe very vital principles they are urging on the । termers, 1. e., to be sure to have one I hundred per cent, stand of corn to every acre. ■w-of Let Us Start at the Foundation 1 People Never Know What good things there are in life for them until they get down to the table. , That is the place where the good things show up to the best advantage.

Denis Howitt was lounging un­ gracefully but comfortably in a deck chair under the drooping branches of a blossom-laden chestnut tree when Mary Lldiard crossed the lawn, swing­ ing a putter In her right band. Through his half-closed eyes Hewitt rased xt her critically, and he could not help admitting that she made the fairest of pictures. The breeze caught her curls, and with the sunlight turn­ ed them into a shimmering sea of gold. A simple, well-cut gown of some soft, white material showed tbe grace of her figure as she walked. Her eyes shone with an unmistakable light as their gaze fell on Hewitt. “Tell me again that you love me, Denis,” she whispered. "I love you, dear,” be answered. ”1 shall always be hearing you say that,’’ she Baid Id low tones later as she turned to go into the house to pack for a few days’ visit at a friend's house. "You’ll write to me often, won't you, Denis?” Hewitt winced as though he bad been stabbed. Several times he bad thought that while she was away he would write and tell her the truth— that he did not love her. But he was too much of a coward to tell her to her face and see those deep blue eyes grow heavy with misery.

Read Genesis 22-23. latredBttery. Since our last lesson Abraham’s unbelief has led him Into shame again (chapter 20.) Isaac, the prombed seed, haa been born, and the strife has begun between the seed of tbe bond woman and that of the free-wo­ man (21.) In our lesson for today God tests Abraham’s faith by com­ manding him to offer that son, the only son, the promised son, as a burnt offering. The lesson is Inter­ esting as a study In faith and obedi­ ence, but perhaps even more so as a type. We will study it from the lat­ ter standpoint somewhat. Isaac ia a type of Christ. LessaM Dhlaiouiu I. "This commandment have 1 re­ ceived of my Father,” 1-2. II. "Obedient unto death," 3-10. III. "He b risen, as he Bald," 11-19. Tbe Ostllae Develsped. In this chapter we see a picture of the way In which our Lord came to this earth, offered Himself, and re­ turned from the grave, going back to His Father. Isaac was “thine only son.” “whom Ihou lovcst.” Read John 1:18; 3:16 nnd Isaiah 42:1 with Matt. 3:17; 17:5. We are all children of God by generation, some by regen­ eration, but He alone is The Son of God. the essence of the Father. So God "hath chosen us In Him before the foundation of the world" (Eph. 1:4.) To this- end Christ must die. "Tills commandment Have I received of my Father (John 10:18.) Planned of the Father in heaven, our salvation was executed through man un earth. Abraham was obedi­ ent; ho was Isaac. We will notlcIsaac especially. “Abraham... took ... Isaac his son.” The son was sub­ missive to the Father in going “unto the place of which God had told him.” Go was the Son In coming to the place (the earth) where Ills Father would offer Him. In verse 5. they have started for the place of tlu. offering. Our Lord "steadfastly sei His face to go to Jerusalem." In The Safe Bank for Savings verse 6 the wood b laid upon Isaac. Jesus bore Hb cross (John 19:17.') In verse 9 "They came to the place.” Read John 17:1. Isaac Is bound, no resistance (John 10:17, 18; Isaiah 53:7.) In verse 10 we see the type of Jesus on the Cross. Read Acte 2:22-24. “Obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross" (Phil. 2:5-8.) God had accomplished Hb purpose. Isaac is restored, this corresponding with our Lord's resurrection (Heb. 11:19.) The faith of verae 5 “and come again to you” is rewarded (verae 19.) Study the references above carefully and many rich things will be found, things that we have not space to call attention to here. By way of conclusion we might notice chapter 23, In which Sarah, the moth­ er of Isaac, dies. Looking upon Sarah as a type of the nation Israel we see here the death of that nation after the death and resurrection of our Lord, this having taken place in A. D. 70. Our next lesson (chapter 24) shows us the son's wife, the bride (the church,) brought in after Sarah's death (24:67.) “And the Spirit and tbe bride say, Come." “Oh sinner, to the Saviour bow, The truth believe."

Middleville was visited by a disas­ trous Are early Sunday morning, and the three story St. James hotel was almost entirely destroyed, nothing but the brick walls remaining of that ex­ cellent hostelry. The Are, which re­ sulted evidently from an explosion of coal gas in the furnace, was discov­ ered by Mrs. Myers, wife of the pro­ prietor, about three o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Myers was sick Satur­ day night end did not rest well all night, and about that time was awake •nd smelled smoke. Going to the door of her bedroom she opened it and looked out into the hall and was con­ fronted with a sheet of flame tbat was shooting up from the floor below. She immediately woke Mr. Myers and he got busy at once arousing those in the house, and none too soon as nearly everyone in the house had to escape in their night clothes. It was a cold night to have to leave the hotel in a dishabille condition, but that seemed the only way out of it "Walter E. Nelson, proprietor of the dry goods and clothing store, opened the store and clothed the unfortunates free of charge. The building owned by Chas. Brand* •tetter was valued nt 14,000 and was insured for M.000. George Myers, the landlord of the hotel, carried 32,600 on his furniture and fixtures and his loss is complete, nothing be­ ing saved from the ruins. Reva, the eleven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Myers, rushed into the burning building to try and get some clothes and had her hair badly singed and bad to be helped from the building. For a time it was thought that one or two persons had been lost in the Are, but the missing ones Anally turned up all right. Help was summoned from Grand Rapids and a fire engine from that city made a flying trip to Middleville and helped light the Are that for a time threatened to be very fatal to the village. Kelley Owned Up. QUAKER BROOK DAM GIVES AWAY Toms of Fish, Mostly German Carp, Were Stranded. The breaking away of the dam on Quaker Brook In Maple Grove last Saturday morning was a harvest for the neighboring farmers, who picked up several tons of fish, mostly German carp, some of which were four feet In length. The dam gave way so suddenly that the fish were piled up three and four feet deep, while the pools left below the dam, were ac­ tually a mass of fish. Bull bead and blue gills were wedged in between the carp, making a motley looking mess. It did not take long for those who preferred the bull heads and blue gills to pick them up; one young lad having three gunny sacks filled, and a layout of some twenty-five or more carp, which would aggregate nearly 200-lbs. of “hog Ash," as they call them. The carp were planted there several years ago, but no one bad any con­ ception of growth and multiply of the plant, as there was none caught out The fear Is that many went down the stream Into Thornapple lake, where they will be a nuisance and eventual­ ly drive other fish out.

' The west end village of Barry coun­ ty is bound to keep on the map. Three sensation in one week 1b a good aver­ age and they were sensations. First wa* the rear end collision which piled np a lot of rubbish, and scared the life almost out of the operator and trainmen. Then came the village elec­ tion which knocked the wind out of about one-third of the voting popula­ tion and caused * “we don't speak a* we pass by" atmosphere thick enough to cut with a cheese knife. This was followed by a fire on tbe old historic ground, the second in tbe j history of the village, the Middleville I Exchange, whereby the inmates some twenty-three In number, had barely time to get out alive, and with no ser­ ious injury, and the whole town had a fit of nervous prostration. The hotel with its numerous landlords and checkered history, wa* near and dear to the urban populace. The oldest in­ habitants had their reminiscent stor­ ies to tell of “ye olde” time hostelry. MUNICIPAL BONDING PROPOSITION Up to 1851, sixteen years after Lhe first white settler erected his shanty, no tavern was to be seen between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids except Yankee Bill Lewis’ Yankee Spring's “Mansion House” consisting of seven stories on the ground floor. In 1851 Ralph Bugbee built the tav­ ern on the same ground that the pres­ ent structure stands on. It was a two story wooden structure with a double porch its entire length. Tbe west twenty feet was occupied by the store of I. N. Keeler, the only store-keeper. The second story had a ball room, run­ ning its entire length except the east end which was a sort of reception room. Tbe south side of tbe second story was devoted to bed room®, and there were several such rooms down stairs, with a barroom, and sitting room for ladies, and dining room and kitchen also. Ralph Bugbee was the first land­ lord; the name was given from the fact that it was the exchange station for tbe stages, one coming from Bat­ tle Creek, via Hastings, and another from Kalamazoo. The tavern was the scene of gay parties daring almost every month in the year, and along in the late 50's, there were dances every night In the week ,during the. winter months. There was always "music” to be bad, and a sleighing party from Hastings or Richland and intervening territory would drive up, order sup­ per, engage the hall and music and FARMERS MEET TO ORGANIZE.

Emory, once a Woodland pio­ neer, being one of the most popular and successful proprietors. After Emory came James Johnson; other bostelries along the routes became more numerous and the gay parties became less frequent, until they final­ ly became so few that Johnson con­ cluded ft would be more profitable to have bedrooms rather than a ball room. In 1875 the wooden building burned to the ground, the cut here shown be­ ing an exact reproduction of it* front with M. A. Dietrich and Ms four horn stage which the said Dietrich drove in 1869, between Middleville and Way­ land, the Kalamasoo-Grand Rapid* “plank road.” We are indebted to Mr. Dietrich for tbe use of the cut In 1876 Johnson built the present structure and for a time was its land­ lord, being succeeded by his son-in­ laws, Andy Johnson nnd Robert Mitchell. After the death of James Johnson tbe family sold the building, and more than a dozen landlords and several owners have since kept the hostelry going.

DRAIN ».r The Kent county drain commisslonera have finally reached an agreement with George Nagler, the Freeport owner of the dam and mill property, which has been a stumbling block to a final determination of the drain prob­ lem. The agreement reached, la to award Nagler a damage of 34.6M which will It 1b thought remove prac­ tically all the opposition. It la esti­ mated that 2,000 acre® of low land now scarcely available for pasture will be reclaimed, and the benefit would aggregate upwards of 340,000. The saving by the agreement with Nagler will be several thousand dol­ lars to the assessed district The commission itself has no right to do other than condemn, but if the agreement Is reached as expected, the commission simply will resign and recommended the award of 34,500. In addition to the actual cash saving to all concerned the amicable agreement promises to be far more expedition* and will hasten the reclamation of the vast area to be affected by the project. A meeting In Commissioner Bird­ sall’s office this morning confirmed the finding of tbe commission. Ophelia Blanch Sage. Thursday, March 13th, at noon Ophelia Blanch Sage, wife of Frank M.

Man of the Hour, has an opportunity to make himself the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln, and to keep the democratic party in power for years to come. This Is true not merely because he Is today president of the United States. There have been other big men president since Lincoln. It Is because Woodrow Wilson realizes that the one great principal issue that confronts tho Republic is not the tar­ iff issue, tho currency issue, but the Issue of humanity. Taft did not re­ alize tills, hence his failure. The tariff issue, the currency issue nnd the trust issue, are simply arith­ metical problems that may be worked out, but the issue of humanity is one of conscience and soul. The first named Issues are business proposi­ tions, and concern dividends and dol­ lars chiefly, while the Issue of hu­ manity refers to human rights, the protection of womea and children and all those who nrc being oppressed by organized greed. If the American public will read Woodrow Wilson’s inaugural speech a "second time, a better interpretation of the light that he sees may be had. No Inaugural speech save the first one of Abraham Lincoln ever read like It. “We know our task is to be no task of politics," he says, “but a task which will search us through and through. Men’s hearts wait upon us; men's lives hang In the balance. I summon ell honest men, all patriotic, all for­ ward-looking men, to my side. God helping me, 1 will not fall them, if they will but counsel and sustain me!” People Behind Wilson. It Is an old tradition in congression­ al circles In Washington that a presi­ dent must not “Interfere" with either branch of congress. Ho may submit whatever views he may have on a subject, and recommend tbe- passage of any legislation he may desire, but after that, according to tradition, he must sit with hands folded and watch legislation which may be highly de­ sirable to the people, peacefully chloroformed in comlmittee and pass into oblivion. It is said that Woodrow Wilson Is going to disregard this tradition. This will be for the public good. The only ones who will protest will be those opposed to the progressive ideas that Wood row Wilson stands for. The president will be sustained by popular sentiment The people, re­ publicans as well as democrats, have for years been demanding a square deal at the hands of their servants in Washington. They still demand it. FURNITURE TIME These are the days when the housewife's fancy turns seriously to something new in the way of furniture. There’s a chair here and a bed there and so many little things that have to be repheed. They don't care whether it comes from a democrat of a republican, they simply want It. President Woodrow Wilson proposes to give it Io them. The people know full well he will have Io light, and they will hold up his hands, even should he find ii necessary, in their interest, to break down a half dozen traditions! Wliat the People Pay. The people of the United States pay a subsidy in nrtiflclally-high prices to the wool industry of at least $104,000,­ 000 a year, according to calculations of Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, of Ala­ bama, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house ot representatives. "The Payne-Aldrich tariff tax of 61 cents per yard, to say nothing of any increase in tax as it passes to the job­ ber, makes not less than $104,000,000 paid each year to subsidize the wool industry of America," says Mr. Un­ derwood. “Now the entire duties actually paid the United States on all imports of woolens and worsteds In 1910 amounted to less than $15,00'\* 000, which means that of the $10<000,000 extorted from the purchast ra of woolens nearly $90,000,000 went to the woolen industry*. “Is it fair or just or right to main­ tain these enormous taxes unduly to foster the business of less than onefourth of ono per cent, of the peoplu and to require ninety-nine and threefourths to stagger under this enorm­ ous burden?" More votes were made for women suffrage in the city of Washington on the afternoon ot March 3, than will perhaps ever he made again in the same length of time so long as the government stands. Reports of tho treatment accorded respective womenmotherD —1* mothers, respectable wives, respecta­ ble daughters—while they were con­ ducting themselves In an unoffenslve and dignified and entirely respectable manner, have not been exaggerated. • The scenes were a positive disgrace ’ to that beautiful avenue In which they occurred—Pennsylvania a v e n u e— 1 made historic liy Abraham Lincoln and a host of other great Americans: a disgrace to Washington and to the nation. Wbat American is not made ashamed oy tbe thought that in the very heart of the capital of our coun­ try, boasted of as our "model Ameri­ can city,” aged women, as old as c2 yean, in whose gray hair and wrink­ led faces there was certainly nothing , to jeer at—that these old ladles should be deserted by the police in the midst of a crowd of jeering hood­ lums. This is no exaggeration. Such scenes, more's the pity, actually took place. It was a thing to make the blood boll In every man that has re­ spect for his mother, his wife and his sister. It is not a matter of whether woman suffrage Is right or wrong; 1» Is a matter of whether respectable women shall have the same kind of protection as men In the public thor­ oughfare, and whether all respect for womanhood has been abandoned. The writer, with his wife, occupied two, seats in the market grandstand on Pennsylvania avenue. Although there were tens of thousands in the streets, we never saw more than six policemen at one time during the period that the parade was passing. There were periods of ten and fifteen minutes when not a single policeman was In sight, In which intervals the crowd completely blocked the women marchers, taunting and jeering them, crowding against them, catching the bridles of the horses, and making mo­ tions as if to grab the marchers by their arms. There were no police to protect the women, but when it was desired to run a street car through tbe throng, a cordon of no less than 30 policemen appeared to escort it And it went through! ' What Three Bushels More to die Acre Means IGHT years ago the fanners in a central state averaged crops that ran three bushels less to the acre than they now get.. Suppose each acre of farm land in the country were so tended that it produced an increase equal to that of this state. How much more money would you have with which to buy the luxuries of life that you earn and deserve? Your share in this prosperity depends entirely upon yourself. The first step is to fertilize your land properly with manure spread by an I H C Manure Spreader The spreader that does its work as it should must have many excellent mechanical features. The apron should move without jerking; the beater should meet the load at exactly the right point to pulverize the manure without too greatly increasing the draft of the machine; the speed changes of the apron should be posi­ tive. All these features are provided for in the construction of I H C spreaders. IH C spreaders are made in low styles which are not too low for use in deep mud or snow, narrow and wide, with both reverse and end­ less aprons, for use under all conditions. The rear axle is located well under the box, instead of at the rear. Placed in that position (under the box) it carries over 70 per cent of the load and insures ample tractive power.

HEN Marguerite of Austria wns |u her youth nnd beau­ ty she made a pilgrimage to the south of France to visit the shrine of her favorite saint. Some say it was to pniy for n young and handsome husband, ir so, ber pa­ tron salat kindly granted the prayer hi advance of the petitiou. On ber way she stopped to rest for n few days at Bourg, a village ou tbe edge of a deep forest and at the foot of tbe majestic Alps. On Easter Monday the people for miles around met to engage In tbe cus­ tomary Ulster games. The young re­ gent of the Netherlands from ber place beside the chatelaine of tbe castle en­ joyed the scene hugely. It was very interesting to watch the older men shooting at targets and casks of wine, the winner being allowed to put his lips to tbe cask and drink his fill. But when tbe young couples began to gath­ er for the most exciting event of the day then the princess grew enthusias­ tic, for. you remember, she was young and fair, nnd even queens dream dreams of liaudsome, loving partners. The moment arrived for the contest. One hundred eggs were scattered over tbe ground. A young man and a maid­ en began tbe figure. While tbe on­ lookers laughed it was a serious affair for tbe dancers. The couple that could skip over the eggs, glide between them, twirl about them in all tbe varied gyra­ tions of the dance, without breaking or cracking an egg might marry each oth­ er tn spite of tbe opposition of their parents. Each couple was allowed three trial*, and, tbe dance being suc­ cessfully concluded, none dared oppose the union. . . While the merrymaking wm st Its height tbe sound of a hunter’s bora rang through tbe forest Soon appear­ ed a company of boroemaa In such brilliant uniforms tbat tbe simple peasants stopped in their dance to gaxe and wonder whom they might be. At their head rode a beautiful youth, dressed as only the noWee of the time dared drees. He sprang from his horse, bent a graceful knee to tbe chatelaine of tbe castle and requested her hospitality. Of course tbe hostess granted it at once, for thia was Phili­ bert, the handsome Duke of Savoy. Tbe dnnee, which tbe coming of the duke bad interrupted, waa now resum­ ed with greater merriment than ever. After watching the dancers Margue­ rite In jest said, “1 would that 1 were one of those simple peasants and might try tbe dance." Philibert bowed low before tbe tor regent and said. “Madame, will yon permit me to be your partner in tho dance that is going on before us?” This was equivalent to an offer of marriage, and, bearing it, the crowd became wild with enthusiasm. Cries of "Austria!" and MBavoy!” rang through tbe air, and cheer followed ebeer. Marguerite graciously ac­ quiesced, and tbe handsome pair took their place In the dance. A serions task waa before them. They must dance around and around eggs, be­ tween eggs, without breaking any. But members of tbe royal families were accustomed to tbe dance.

HEN Marguerite of Austria was in her youth and beau­ ty she made a pilgrimage to tbe south of France to Visit tbe fibrin* of her favorite saint. Some say It wus to pray for n young and bnudsume husband. If so, her in­ tron salut kindly granted the prayer hi advance of the petition. On her way she stopped to rest for a few days at Bourg, a village ou tbe edge of a deep forest and at tbe foot of the majestic Alps. On Easter Monday the people for miles around met to engage in the cus­ tomary Easter games. The young re­ gent of tbe Netherlands from ber place beside the chatelaine of the castle en­ joyed the scene hugely. It was very interesting to watch tbe older men shooting at targets and casks of wine, the winner being allowed to put his lips to tbe cask aud drink his fill. But when the yonng couples began to gath­ er for the most exciting event of the day then the princess grew enthusias­ tic, for, you remember, she was youug and fair, nnd even queens dream dreams of handsome, loving partner*. The moment arrived for tho contest. One hundred eggs were scattered over tbe ground. A yonng man and a maid­ en began the figure. While tbe on­ lookers laughed It was a serious affair for tbe dancers. The coaple that could skip over tbe eggs, glide between them, twirl about them in all the varied gyra­ tions of the dance, without breaking or cracking an egg might marry each oth­ er in spite of the opposition of tbeir parents. Each couple was allowed three trial*, and, the dance being sueqessfully concluded. none dared oppose the union. . . HORGAN. Mr. and Mr*. R. J.

I am impressed with the fact that its development has Just commenced, and that people are just beginning to understand what may be dono here. Its needs are settlers and capital, and these are coming, but not nearly as fast as are needed, or can be utilized. To people who can­ not stand the rigors of our northern winters, and who can come, it is sure­ ly a new lease of life and many more than formerly, are taking its advan­ tages every winter. The saving in hills for coal and wood, and in the heavier grades of clothing, will help largely to pay the expense of coming. and there can be but little doubt, that I a few weeks or more, spent here each year, even to men strong and vigorous like myself, is' time well spent. The change of climate, and In the manner of living, the food fruits one gets here, and the ease with xlbich one becomes Indolent, the push one so easily lets go of In this climate, certainly tends to relax and rest tired bodies, tired nerves and tired brain, so that I do not hesitate to say to anyone—if you are thinking of spending a winter here or a part of one, let your thoughts be­ come active and do it and you will not ing houses.

This week we went a hundred mites farther south to West Palm Beach and Palm Bench, going Monday and returning here yesterday. We had a splendid time. We found it about ten degrees wanner than here, but we had the same fine breeze from the ocean and Lake Worth, as the inland water is called there. We were entertained in part by the family of B. E. Lee formerly of Woodland, who resides nt West Palm Beach, and his brother H. M. Lee formerly of Nashville, who Is stopping with him this winter. They were all very hind to us, and spared neither time nor money to give us a fine outing, and show us the possibilities of West Palm Beach, and I am thoroughly convinced that West Palm Beach will become a leading city of southern Florida. It Is now a city of 4,000, land values are rapidly rising, and It has the foundation for a splendid progressive city.

One Dollar Per Year ______ _____________________________________ ____________________ HASTIIieS GIRL AT THE INAUGURATION MISS MINNIE RE PLOGLE WRITES VERY ENTERTAININGLY OF HER TRIP AND EXPERIENCE. Visited Congress In Its Closing Hours Saw Big Parade and Everything Else Worth While. The Journal-Herald, Hastings, Mich.: The Inauguration was well worth attending but I am not sure that what I can say about It will be wefrth much to the reader. In attempting to com­ ply with your wishes, I will give only a few personal observations, as the principal facts have already been printed. Miss Bryson, our domestic science teacher, and I planned last November to make use of what seemed to be our best opportunity to witness such an occasion, Mr. Bemis kindly gave his consent. We went by way of Norfolk, spend­ ing Sunday there, and attended Old SL Paul’s Episcopal church. This church was built in 1739 and is sur­ rounded by the graves of those who hied as early ub 1C30. As the boat makes only one trip a day from Norfolk to Washington, and nil Virginia seemed possessed to at­ tend the inauguration we figured that our getting on that boat would de­ pend largely upon strategy. Accord­ ingly, we visited the dock and spotted the plank opposite the entrance, and were back an hour early to claim our station. When the draw bridge was arranged, to our good fortune we were at the end of It. We did not show our state room tickets because we did not have any. When wo moved off, a disappointed crowd of two or three hundred remained- be­ hind. We did not even mind sleep­ ing on a very hard mattress on the floor of the cabin with some twenty more, who ceased their chattering as early as three o’clock only to begin again at four. We were met in Washington by my cousin, Fred Replogle, at whose home we were entertained while there. We found his services indispensable all the way through. Wo were among a thousand others who assembled early to ascend Washington. The same throngs were viewing the White House, Pan Ameri­ can and D. A. R. buildings. It may be of interest to the Hastings chap­ ter to know that the room furnished by the Michigan chapters compares very well with the best in the build­ ing. The great feature on Monday was of course, the suffraget parade. No donbt, some of my friends In Hast­ ings who know my views on this sub­ ject, will accuse me of being with the "Anti's" at the starting point of the parade, but I assure you everything from our point of view was In good order. The police as far as we could determine were doing their duty, but evidently they did not expect such an Immense crowd to handle and bad not stretched the cable os they did for the Inaugural parade. It was very evident from the hissing, that there were many angry suffraget* In the crowd on the following day when Superintendent of Police, Sylvester, passed down the line of march. The flag decorations and the Illum­ ination of the city were as beautiful as ingenuity could make them. It was said by some that the people of democratic Washington spread them­ selves a little more than usual on this occasion. The search lights on the dome of the capitol and on Wash­ ington monument seemed like bea­ cons to the confused thousands to guide them In locating themselves. On Monday evening we visited the congressional library, the most beau­ tiful building in Washington. Every one who visits the capital city will carry away a lasting Impression of this wonderful “Hall of Fame.” We were not ready to leave when the doors closed at nine-thirty. A walk of a few blocks brought us to the capitol where we had a fine view of the fountain Illuminated “Peace Monument," and Pennsylvania ave­ nue, with Its festoons of flags and electric lights. We were held up for some little time at tdic door of the house, as our right to seats there was strongly contested. But as Miss Bry­ son and I had a little push and our right hand man had a little pull we were finally allowed to spend the closing hour of the day on the upper row In the balcony. The members ot the house were listening closely to u speech by “Uncle Joe Cannon," In which he presented the republican house leader. Representative Mann, of Illinois, with a gold walch, na a token of esteem for his long term of faithful service. Following this some one tried to read an appropriation bill for a bridge across some bayou In Loulslnnr-. It was plain to be seen that not more than one person had any Interest In tills bill, and he was the man who was reading It. Repre­ sentative Underwood, in the chair, tried to restore order. Speaker Clark took his place and with laborious use of the gavel, ho succeeded but very little better. 1 think If he had al­ lowed them to express themselves In the «ong “We won't go home until1 morning," they would have felt re­ lieved and might have quieted down. Our right hand man who Is em­ ployed in the treasury department had procured seats on the grand stand in front of the treasury build­ ing a block from the White house. We were In our places by ten o'clock and remained there until seven In the evening, with the exception of a sand­ wich vacation of a few minutes In the treasury building where they were sold at the government price of live cents, without graft to those who had a pass. The procession from the White house to the capitol Included the pres­ ident and president elect escorted by the Essex troop of New Jersey cavalry, the vice-president elect escorted by the famous Black Horse troops of Culver Military Academy, Indiana. To see President Taft and his successor riding side by side to and from the Inauguration with such ap­ parent good feeling would cause the most partisan for a moment to forget Continued on page tour. THE CHEAT SIMM COVERS LARGE MH MICHIGAN SUFFERS LOSS OF MIL­ LIONS.. MANY DTJURRD.. ONE LIFE LOST. Barry County la tho Path of Terando 8 offers la Lees of Ttater, Or­ charts, and Live Steck. Last Friday one of the worst torna­ does that ever struck the peninsular state swept the entire length from Its northern border to the south line and clear across the state. Wind 1s re­ ported at weather observation sta­ tions at a speed of 75 to 89 miles, and with it came rain and enow. While the damage was great it was still not as destructive as the storm which followed late Sunday night, when the storm of Friday night was repeated with greater fury, and was accompanied by a flooding rain, which was driven into the wrecked buildings doing great damage. In thia county bouses, barns and other buildings were blown off foundations and partly or wholly wrecked. There was con­ siderable stock killed and injured. The heaviest loss so far reported Is that of D. J. Rizor, east of Quimby, on what is known as the Crouch farm. Four horses were killed and a large bank barn completely wrecked. The loss Is a severe one for Mr. Riser who bad moved there the week before, and had not transferred Ms insurance in the Cyclone and Windstorm Company. Farther east was a splendid piece of timber of nearly 40 acres which was razed to the ground. Wm. BMelman, on the old Bldelman homestead southwest of Quimby, had two bams unroofed and hla entire or­ chard uprooted. John Foley of Bal­ timore had a barn unroofed The Utchen on the Asa Rork fam In Rut­ land was blown to pieces and the up­ right badly wrecked. In the same township J. W. Mead had a bam un­ roofed. Andrew Craig also had a bam wrecked. Several olios are partly torn down while timber and fences have suffered much. Our news letters from various sec­ tions of the county tell of the atoms and losses in their several localities. Tuesday, yesterday and today a sleet atom has prevailed, making it danger­ ous for people on foot and for horses. Telegraph, telephone and electric lines are badly tangled and broken. This sizes up the situation here, and for the advent of spring the past week Is a corker. But bad as it Is here and Io Michi­ gan, it is not as disastrous as In other states to the south. Ohio has n loss by floods of 7.000 lives; Dayton a loss of 5,000 and millions of property. In­ diana Is flooded with $20,000,000 loss and many lives; Illinois and Missouri badly hit. In many -towns water seven feet deep is running In a torrent through the business streets. To add to the horror, there Is no light or heat, and death toll will be heavy through exposure. Near Petoskey a 1.000 feet of road and railroad track has been washed away, leaving a gulch 70 feet deep. Water twenty feet deep at Dayton, Ohio, submerges the entire town, there being a confluence of four streams, merging near the center of the town, and nt Inst reports it was etill raining. Hunger added to the cold rain, is making sad havoc, but relief is beginning to come. Crazed from Epilepsy.

The question of bonding the city for here from the surrounding lodges, $99,000 should not frighten the tax­ representatives being present from payers.

A few years later pliments from Grand Lecturer Gil­ we were up against another proposi­ bert. The candidate was Grant Otis. MUNICIPAL BONDING PROPOSITION tion—the water supply for fire pro­ tection. Again we bonded, and up to this hour -we have heard of no regret. We have had the use of the money. It has been a protection to property and health. We have spread out this blessing of good water, originally built to accommodate 2,000 people. At the time of installation we were scarcely 2,000. We have added but slightly to the original plant, and within the last two years we have laid more pipe and added more con­ sumers than we had In the flrot three years of its. existence. Here is what we are up against good and hard. The present plant, especially its power, is inadequate to the demand which Is being made upon it; not­ withstanding a very wet season for the past two years the drouth being of short duration, the well was ex­ hausted and the power was closed down so that the residents on the higher ground could scarcely get enough water for culinary purpose. The plant Is a good one; water ex­ cellent; but it wants enlargement, so that there may be no lick of water for use and fire protection; the ma­ chinery must be replaced or duplicat­ ed. This is why a fund is proposed to do this with, something like $30,­ 000. The balance of the $90,000 is to be used to furnish and establish an electric up to date light and power plant, io that the city will do Its own lighting, furnish to Its citizens who may want it, light and power. Other cities are doing ttys, soma using water power, others steam; there is very Utile difference in the cost, and they are'ninety per cent, of them, making a profit to the city. The Investigation of this subject has been going on for nearly three years, by the mayor and council and superintendent of water works. They have looked the matter over from every standpoint; have had the opinions and advice of experts, and this advice, disinterested as it !s cornea to the one conclusion; that il would be profitable to the city to own and operate Its own lighting plant As we understand it, the proposi­ tion is to .combine the water works and lighting plant, so as to save fuel and labor expense. Is it too much, to ask a careful review of the propo­ sition; to ask investigation of affairs, to sift oat the good wheat from the chaff in the discussion of the propo­ sition? We are up against the stone wall of facts; for it is conceded by those opposed, as well as those who favor the bonding that “Something will have to be done.” * Pruning Dcmsartratfeu.

Holden, (National Crop Improvement Service.1 Here are three ways to increase the own yield: by testing the vitality or ffsrminating power of every ear of com intended for planting. Second, by grading the seed com to kernels of uniform size and shape. Third, by testing and adjusting the planter to secure the dropping ot the proper number of kernels in each hill. A “poor stand" of corn is respon­ sible more than anything else for the low average of com in the central west. The ground may be rich, the preparation good, and the corn re­ ceive tho best of cultivation, but If the stand Is poor the yield will be correspondingly poor. Careful counts of the number of stalks per hill were made one year in more than a thousand different corn fields In Iowa, and it would be safe to say that there was not to exceed W per cent, of a perfect stand on an average, and in some cases it fell as low as 40 per cent This meant that Iowa devoted nearly 9,000,000 acres to com and produced only a 6,000,000 crop, or to put it in another way, with a perfect stand the present average yield of 33 bushels would be increased to 60 bushels per acre, or an increase to the state of 163,000,000 bushels. This does not take into consideration the Increased yield made possible through the use otimproved varieties, better bred seed, elimination of bar­ ren- stalks by means of breeding, bet­ ter methods of cultivation, selecting, storing, etc. One fall I visited a farm of 200 acres of com which showed 39 per cent of a stand.

In the last hours of an expiring congress and within two hours of the close of the presidential term, con­ gress' passed and President Taft rlgzied a bill which protects migratory birds from the slaughter, which has almost annihilated some species of bird life, and greatly diminished others. Our young people who bare organized to make more beautiful. Hostings should take up the preser­ vation of bird life as one of the prin­ cipal lines toward that end. AH song birds are protected by law, making it a crime to destroy birds or their nests, and a prompt report of any killing, maiming birds or destroying nests should be made to the prosecut­ ing attorney, sheriff or marshal. The birds are accessory to human life. Without them vegetation and fruits would be destroyed, by myriads of Insects. Birds destroy these pests by using them for food.

Some of the reasons for failure may be due to the neglect of the following: L Proper selection of seed com. 2. Proper drying and storing of seed com before freezing weather. 9. Proper selection of seed ears. 4. Germination test of seed ears. 5. Grading to even size of kernel. C. Regulating planter to accurate dropping. Money Misapplied.

The death ot the 1,000 sparrows, means just so much more of weed seeds and lood destroying insects to fight or feed. The little loss of grain these fighting, chirping, saucy, always-lwthuh, friends destroy is more than made up by the destruction of weed seeds and larvae ot Insect pests. These HtUe turks are with us all the year round; they are never idle, especially in the winter, when food is-scarce and they hunt the trees and shrubs for the dormant hugs.

Martial, one ot the satiric poets of Rome, once referred to tbe teeth of one woman as dark and another aa white, and explained the difference with the statement that one of them bought her teeth, while the other had her own. The transplantation of teeth from the mouths of slaves into those of their mistresses is said to have been a common practice In the early days of the Roman Empire. MSIfoUR.

Probably no method is better “suited to all conditions than what is known as the sawdust ger­ mination box method, which is briefly described as follows:— Getting Ready.—Make a box three to four inches deep and 30x30 Inches In dimensions. Fill the box about half full of moist sawdust well pressed down so as to leave a smooth, even surface. The sawdust should bo pvt iu a gunny sack and sot in a tub o’ warm water for at least an hour (or still better, over night) so that it will be thoroughly moistened before us­ ing. Rulo off a pieco of good white cloth (sheeting) about the size of the box, into squares, checker-board fash­ ion, two and one-half inches each way. Number the squares 1, 2, 3, etc. Place the cloth on the sawdust and tack it to the box at the corners and edges. Lay out tho ears to be tested side by side on planks, tables, or on the floor, remove one kernel from near the butt, middle and tip of the ear; turn the ear over and remove three kernels from the opposite side in like manner, making six kernels in all. thus secur­ ing a sample from the entire ear. Place the six kernels at the end of the ear from which they are taken. Use care that the kernels do not get mixed with those from the ear next to IL After tbe kernels are removed, boards may be laid over the rows of ears to keep them In pice until the result of the germination is known. Place the kernels from the ear of corn No. 1 in square No. 1 of the germination box; from ear No. 2 in square No. 2; and so on with all tbe ears.

God helping me, I will not fail them, if they but counsel and sustain see.”—Woodrow Wilson, in his Inaug­ ural address^ What more could be asked? Is not this a call for every patriotic citizen, whether he voted for Taft, Roosevelt or any other presidential candidate? Words are easily spoken; vows are as easily broken; but here we have the pledge of a man, who has made good tn every calling he has been en­ gaged In. He asks nothing on his own strength; he calls for aid, asks divine assistance and appeals to hon­ est Christian men and women for counsel. The papers teem with accounts of abolishment of traditional abuses; flunkeyism. toadyism, “the fashion and precedence" are set aside. The wine cellar abolished; the convention­ alities "of court;” the formal and gold lace etiquette are thrown out of the window. There was no affectation, no grand stand play in thia. It came from the heart of a man, who knows every walk of life. Worth not wealth the measure of each subordinate, of each applicant.

Let the dead past bury its dead. Idiocy Oa Increase. Bo says Dr. H. A. Haynes of the I^peer home for the feeble minded. Idiots are Increasing more than double as fast as normal population. The taxpayers of Michigan paid >400,ttO to support of the unfortunates, and yet not one ninth are in the Iwpeer home. Is it any wonder that laws which will aid to prevent tbe further Increase of these unfortunates are sought by people who have a pitying soul in their body? The state Is boarding hundreds now; soon they will have to provide for themselves, or they will die by the roadside. Dr. Haynes reports that one feeble­ minded person, in the Lapeer home has cost the state >3,500 in ten years. If the person lives a life time of 60 years it will cost the state 110,000. He further states, that a woman now In the Lapeer home has cost Lapeer county >1,200 as an Inmate of the county house. There are 116 mem­ bers of her fraternity at large and it io estimated they have cost the tax­ payers >15,000. In Geneesee county a woman who Is a great-grandmoterh of the present gen­ eration founded a family which has been a sink of moral corruption. She used her daughters In disorderly houses which she established. So did her daughters and so their daugh­ ters are doing now. There were twenty women in the family of four generations and all have been a cor­ rupting Influence In their communi­ ties. Much more was learned but the above suffices to awaken thought Something ought to be done, to stay the tide of degeneracy and mental weakness Out ot the several efforts to stay the evil, one at least should be tried out “Make tbe Msa Be Good." In the probe of underworld de­ linquency, the unfortunate women do not lay all the blame to the low wages. They are very emphatic in attributing their downfall to the wiles of men, not employers, but others who in every way try to make friends with them. One girl, evidently well educated, In a rather dramatic way said In a letter to the vice probe com­ mission: "You are hypocrites, you are avoiding the Issue; make the men be good then the women and girls will be good." There is much to this; morality among men, will go far toward crush­ ing out the white slave evlL But so long as tbe male evil doer la smiled upon, while tbe female is spit upon by society there can be do true re­ form.

Practical Bints on Bee Fredin* About this time the amateur bee man, or woman as the case may be, looks over the hive* to see how many colonies are alive and plans accord­ ingly on his supplies to be bought, as all bee goods can be bought cheaper in March than April. But go slow “yet awhile” in ordering, as there is lots of time for disaster yet Some day when it Is warm enough to open the hives inspect each one carefully and see the condition they are in. If they hsvejboney enough to carry them through two months more; if they are rearing brood; If the colonies are strong; and If several other condi­ tions are to be met affecting the sup­ plies to be bought If they are short of stores you will have to feed them and “do it now." If you have honey left over from last year It is the best thing, but If not you will have to use some thing else. Granulated sugar Is next best (soim bee-keepers use it In preference to honey). Mix sugar with water and If you have empty comb you can pour it In or feed from a feeder. There are several different ones on tho market. As goed a way as any If you have no empty comb Is to take a small tin can with a cover, punch holes in the bot­ tom of the can, put tbe syrup In, re­ place the cover and set the can in an empty super on tbe top of the frames. The bees will eat the syrup as fast as It runs out ano there is no danger of their getting Into the syrup and drowning as when they are fed In an open dish. However if you must feed them in an open dish place several pieces of wood in it for them to crawl on. A quarter of a section spilt In strips U good. Granulated sugar is preferable to honey bought on tho market, as you never know what disease . you may bring by feeding bought honey. So If you have no honey left over, use sug­ ar. nnd the very best sugar at that. Cheap sugar or molasses should never be fed. Amateur. The Journal-Herald “Want Ads.” Card of Thanks.

C. Kelly, Hastings, Mich Unless Defect Is Noticed in Time aad Remedied Colt Is Lost ■ -Curs ' Is Almost Certain. Occasionally a mare falls to provide milk after dropping her foal, and un­ less this Is noticed In time and Remedied, the colt Is lost. This trouble can usually be remedied by a thorough manipulation of tbe udder with some warm water. . Have the water as warm as the mare can stand It, and hold the bucket under the udder, and keep the latter thoroughly moist and warm while the manipulation is going on. Generally about 20 minutes to a half tour will start the milk. » While this work is going on, tbe mare should be kept busy with a hot bran mash, which will act as a stimu­ lant to the milk glands. The sooner the trouble is noticed, and work start­ ed to overcome it, tbe greater the prospect of success. If the difficulty noticed as soon as could well be ex­ pected, and treatment begun at once, an almost certain cure ought to re­ sult. Mints on Feeding. It does seem thst when s farmer makes up his mind to shovel 3,000 or 3,000 bushels of corn into a lot st steers he would take the precaution to select the kind of animals that will ■sake the best use of It. One reason why so many farmers who food cattle come out of the little end of the horn to because all steers look alike to them and they think they are saving money by buying animals whose first cost to low. If we cannot afford a silo we can certainly afford a field of horned tur­ nips or mangles. They are not equal to silo, of course, but they help make dry feed palatable and therefore In­ crease Its value. Does silage fed to the dairy cow taint the milk? No; but the odor of tho silage, if allowed to get into the milk In open palls, will taint it. Rheumatism In Hogs. The disease known as cramps in pigs is really a form of rheumatism, and, allhough not exclusively caused by climatic conditions. Is greatly in­ fluenced and aggravated by certain states of tbe atmosphere, especially when Insufficient exercise Is allowed to susceptible animals. The reason for this Is when animals are subjected to to conditions which favor the development of the rheu­ matic virus, or poison, and do not get enough exercise to enable the excre­ tory organs to throw It out of the sys­ tem, rheumatism develops.

I have made a home and become an element In the life of four communities: Charlotte, Helena, Mont., Bellingham, NVash., and Butte, Mont., and invite an open inquiry as to my conduct and standing as a man and citizen in any one or all of them. I returned here in 1905 to make ray permanent home Id this 'beautiful city of my youth, and am trying to lead a life that shall be helpful and not a hindrance.

It was this principle'that placed the election of Judges of our Supreme Court and Regents of our University in tbe spring,-taking them out of the violent partisan contest* incidental to the general fall elections. It is a -matter of regret, however, that as u rule there has not been a groat application of that principle in practice, and it ha* rarely been the case that we have had a single regent ot tbe University not a member of the dominant party of the State.

I Those of our citizens who have en­ joyed the excellent numbers on the Women’s Club lecture course the past winter will not fail to be present at the Inst number which comes to this cltj- on Friday evening, April 11. The attraction for that evening is U10 Katherine Ridgeway Company which is said to be one of the strongest num­ ber* on the course. Mias Ridgeway in a graduate of tbe Boston School of Oratory and has sel­ dom appeared in places at this size, having long been connected with the Temple Quartette under the manage­ ment of the Redpath Lecture Bureau. She gives a varying program, which 'she says lias a tendency to uplift the people who hear it. Connected with her is the celebrated baritone soloist, Ludwig G. Meyer, whose sweet voice has won him many highly compli­ mentary notices from the press of tbe country. The musical end ot the company Is vested In Miss Grace Desmond, a pianist of more than ordinary accomplishmenL A graduate of the Sher­ wood school she has won high honors in her chosen profession. She has played selections from Dcbussey be­ fore Mary Garden, and Miss Garden who lias heard Dehussy many times said that Mias Desmond played the se­ lections like the composer himself. Reserved sent tickets will be placed on sale at Carveth & Stebbins’ drug store on Wednesday, April 9. and it Is iioped there will be a goodly attend­ ance at this exceptionally good enterntinmcuL Assyria Farmer*’ Club. The Assyria Farmers’ club was very plensantly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Kent on the late A. G. Kent farm Saturday, March 22. On account of the very bad roads only about seventyfive wore present. In the forenoon business session the chaplain read the 100th Psalm and Pres. Hartom ap­ pointed Mr*. Mabel Moore as new member on the program committee. Committee stands Mrs. Nina Tasker, A. T. Shepard and ifabel Moore. New member on the refreshment commit­ tee is Mrs. Frank Wright The dinner was served about' 1:30 and was up to the usual standard of excellence. The afternoon session was called to order by Pres. Hartom, followed by a selection rendered by the chorus class who responded with a second number. Ruby Mulvaney gave a recitation entitled "Discharged,” wMch elicited a second number. Mt*. Wm. Charles, Jr., wife of the editor of Bellevue Gazette, then ad­ dressed the club on the subject ot wo­ man suffrage and said in part: I have no recollection of ever being convert­ ed to the suffrage movement I have al­ ways been a suffragist. When in school the teecbet* ask me to write on a subject of my choosing, I always wrote along this line. It always seemed to me to be the right thing and the time Is surely near when woman can have the privilege of helping to purify our land. We have no quarrel with the uien for it is not their fault that we have not the privilege of voting. The timo has never been right, people are just awakening to the sense of duty. And there have never been women capable of taking hold of the movement, but that age is coming, it is the age o: progression. Men have been doing things generation* before us and no wonder they are so much more capa­ ble than women. At tbe present time there 1* not as much work for the housewife as there was a few genera­ tions ago and the time has come when women can become on an equal with men. In cities there 1* a large force of society women who have been wasting time aud energy In frivolous pastimes heretofore, but who are now becoming awake and who will be a strong force for suffragist. Some have said women will not know how to vote, as In my case, brought up a democrat and mar­ ried to a republican, but they will find out and what is more will not stick so close to parties as men do but vote for the right man. If suffrage should carry this April and women can vote do not think there will be a milleniura and everything be so good. This is not our only cry for the ballot, but we want it because It Is just And do .not think the suffrage movement is work­ ing against the men. It means we will both work together and then and not till then will much trouble of the country be cleared away. The president called on others for a, discussion bf the subject and Mrs. Cox was the first to say, "When the time does come for women to vote we should count it a privilege nnd a duty." “One argument," Mrs. Kent said, against woman suffrage Is that women will vote as their husbands do, but do women always please their husbands? The white slave traffle and liquor problem even though they may not have harmed us they have. harmed some mothers and mothers’ children and should be done away." John Hoyt, mail currier on route 3, had heard that women were not edu­ cated and did not understand how to vote. Thirty-five per cent of the vot­ ers of the city of Detroit are foreign­ ers and neither read nor write. Whnt about our American women? Are they not tetter educated than the foreign voter? I. W. Cargo stated Hurt 30 years ago we were opposed to suffrage but this is an age of progression. The brew­ eries is whore tlie trouble lies, they buy the votes nnd we must get control of them. Wm.

PafckiNer CONTRACT IS LET FOR PAVING JOB LAST FRIDAY NIGHT WAS A BUSY ONE IN THE COMMON COUNCIL ROOM. Seventeen Bidders Were Anxious to Get Chance to Do IL. Wide Dif­ ference in Bids. The council room was a scene ot more than usual activity Friday night when the letting ot the bids tor paving Green and Jefferson streets was the matter of issue. There were seven­ teen bidders for the job and there was a wide range of difference In the prices submitted by the various bidders. Tho highest bid offered for a chance to do the work was 133,292. and the lowest bld was $23,369.15, a difference of nearly ten thousand dollars. Each member of the council and former City Engineer Frank Collins were busy till midnight figuring out the data in connection with the various blds and just about twelve o'clock Aiderman Tibman introduced a resolution by means ot which the mayor and city clerk were instructed to enter Into a contract with Lee Howland of Charle­ voix for the construction of the pave­ ment, at a cost of ,$23,369.15, his bld being the lowest offered for the com­ pletion of the work. A contractor by the name of Kauf-; man of Dowagiac was a close competi­ tor of Mr. Howland, his bid being $23,­ 498.38. Mr. Howland wa* In tbe city yesterday and the contract wm drawn up and signed and the work of laying the pavement will begin as soon as suitable weather arrives for the work. The contract provides that tbe work must be completed in ninety days. R. W. Roberts of Saginaw will be the engineer In charge of the work and will sec to it that everything is done In accordance with the plans and specifications, and tbe Interests of the city will be carefully looked after by him. For hls services the city will be obliged to pay five per cent of the price on which the contract was let, or $1,168.45, .The cost of the work of laying and supervising the laying of the pave­ ment will be approximately $24,537.60. There is a total of 18,225 square yards to be laid which will make the cost of the pavement close to $1.35 per square yard. It will be seen that these lux­ uries come high but in a progressive and up-to-date city like Hastings they have to come and of course will be ap­ preciated when once they are placed. A Card.

Ar® Appreciated by Hastings People. Thousands who suffer from backache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after another, finding only temporary benefit. This Is discourag­ ing, but there is one kidney medicine that has earned a reputation for last­ ing results and there is plenty of proof of its merit right here in Hastings. Here Is the testimony of one who used Doan’s Kidney Pills years ago. and now makes his testimony even stronger. Homer Ingram. 504 E. Walnut St, Hastings, Mich., says: "Several years ago I had a ven* lame back and pains In my loins. My back was co lame I could hardly straighten after stooping. My kidneys were irregular in action. When 1 heard about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got- a box and used them ac­ cording to directions. In n short time the lameness and soreness left and my back got strong and well. I have nev­ er been bothered by my back or kid­ neys since, and what I said about Doan's Kidney Pills when I publicly recommended them before I am glad to confirm now.” For salo by all dealers.

METHODS OF MARKING SHEEP Identification Brands Now in Use Un­ satisfactory Account of Injury Done to Wool.

Such wo-'I brings a decreased price. The tlonal Society of Agriculture France has been- Investigating Clio matter and the report of those pointed to do the work contains the following: It has been iiropoBed to use anallne colors, but this is even worse, since the colors do not merely soil the fleece, but actually dye it. Other means are not lacking, notably that of tattooing the ear of tho sheep. Also, a email metallic plate can be fMtened in the ear, as is done with African sheep to prove that they have been "clavellzed," I. e.. inoculated with the special serum which combats their dangerous and contagious erup­ tive malady, rot or scab. The Syndlcal Chamber of Commerce and In­ dustry advises the employment of a color composed of linseed oil. essence ot turpentine and Prussian blue or similar color.

"1’11 not go with you on a lake boat this year. I have too vivid a recollection of my last lake trip. Mrs. Clark invited me to go to Escanaba with her and Fay on a freight boat I was delighted. Fay had been on the trip before and she reported that she had the time of her life. "Tho trip to Escanaba wm a dream. The captain and sailors could not do enough for us. It wm moonlight and the lake looked beautiful. I felt as if I was on a private yacht It was perfect till we started back. "At Escanaba they loaded the boat with tons of Iron ore. The vessel sank deeper and deeper into the water, un­ til it began to look like a submarine. Thon when we started for Chicago we were towing a barge loaded with more tons and tone of ore. “We had been on our way a day, when I saw that the sky looked like lead, with ugly yellow streaks across it. I said to Mrs. Clark, 'I think we shall have a storm.' "You know how optimistic she Is! With that sky above us, she gayly remarked*, ‘Oh, do you think so?’ "It was not long before the storm broke. The wind came suddenly and the rain came down like an overturned sea. We hurried into the protection of the cabin and watched the storm. "It wm awful the way the boat creaked. I will say nothing about tho way it rocked. The rope which pulled tbe barge broke like a thread. In a few minutes it seemed miles away. "Presently I saw a sailor make hls way to the lifeboat I watched him anxiously. He was working at the ropes. "I said to Mrs. Clark, ‘He is going to lower the lifeboat and you must know what thatAmeans.* "She did not answer me. but pushed the screen door open and rushed up to the man, pulled bis aleeve and asked, ‘Are you going to lower the lifeboat?' He paid no attention to her. "She came back, throw, herself Into a seat and sobbed. ‘I shall never see my husband again.* "Tables and chairs were sliding ■bout. In despair I dropped upon the floor. Oh, why did 1 ever come! Tons of iron below me! I could see the boat go down Into tbe lake like ■ cannon ball. " ‘I know when I strike the water,’ I cried ‘1H go straight to the bottom.* “Fay answered, despairingly, *We all will. There'll be no other place When cattle or horses choke take a three-quarter-inch rubber hose about flve feet long, and with this yon can force the obstacle down in the stom­ ach without hurting the beast.

Tho boat pitched us in every direction. “We looked on the celling, on the walls and even tore the cushions from the chairs. There wm no sign of life preservers. Where could those men have put them?

I know you are just the finest cook in the world, and I know your good, kind heart, too, but they so remind—remind mo—■" and the speaker burst into tears, and bowed her head upon the plain but snowy clean kitchen table, os If her heart would break. Her neighbor reluctantly took ’ up the round, pyramidal package she had just brought over. Where its pinned newspaper cover was half open, the white, tempting crust of a pumpkin plo showed, crowned with a dozen or more rich, brown, flaky doughnuts. "Don’t misunderstand me, Mrs. Smith,” said Sarah Ritchie, drying her tears. “If you only knew—" “I know all about It, dear," an­ swered the kind Samaritan, tenderly. "Don’t speak of it again. I do wish, though, that you could come over this evening. We arc going to have a littie company. It is just tbe season for cheering up, you know.” “1 have some very important busi­ ness tonight,” said Sarah. “It is about the property, and I have to see Law­ yer Jones." "Well, dear, don't fret too much," urged Mrs. Smith in a sisterly way. “I know your cross is a hard .one, but you must always count on us as true, willing friends." I Sarah Ritchie, left to herself, sat looking mournfully out of the window at tbe snowy landscape. "Pumpkin I pies and doughnuts" were prosaic themes. All the same, tbey opened old-time wounds. There had i afresh been a time when Sarah, queen of a homo, had been famous for thrittlness ami excellency in her domestic life. Then there had come a jarring break, PAGE FHW had married a wretch who not only would not support her, but influenced her to steal money from her em­ ployer, and send It to him. Briefly, Alfred went with her to hunt up tho wretch. Ho compelled hlin to care for hls wife. He borrowed five hundred dollars from a relative to replace the stolen money. He could not publicly explain all this without getting the girl in trouble, and you refused to listen to hls explanations. The girl died a month ago, and now he has just written me he is free to have tbe truth known. By patient labor, al­ ways loving you, he saved up the money to pay off the mortgage on your home." “Ob, how cruel, how wicked I have been!" cried tbe overwhelmed wife. “How shull I make amends? Oh, tell me, I implore of you!” And Robert Jones, good lawyer and true friend, told her. aud almost at daybreak next morning Sarah was on her way to the herding farm where her husband had been leading his hermitllke Jlfe. Sarah found tbe bleak place with Its cottage In charge of a boy. He told her that Mr. Ritchie had gone away for a few days on important business. At once, with a joy that thrilled her tired heart to mighty devotion and love, she started in “to make things comforlable." “I will stay here, oh, I must stay— if Alfred will only let me!” she told herself, as she scrubbed and cleaned and dusted. Then she sot to thinking of the favorite dishes her husband used to like. She smiled as she re­ called his ardent praisps for her pump­ kin pics and doughnuts. Trailing through the snow, Alfred Ritchie approached hla lonely home two nights later. He noticed that there was a light in the window. Then a sniff of unusual cooking crossed bis nostrils. Ho pushed open the door. Some one screamed—the startled Sarah—but not until tbe astonished husband had seen a kitchen table loaded with pumpkin pies and dough­ nuts. a famous steak frying on the comfortable looking stove, and the burnished tea kettle singing a merry song of welcome and comfort. “Sarah," he cried, and hls big, loy­ al heart spoke its earnest delight as he sheltered her In his strong, cher­ ishing arms. ' “Oh, Alfred, It is Uke heaven, an this!" sobbed the penitent Sarah a little later, as tbey sat In the soft, soothing glow of the burning logs in the great fireplace. “I wish never to leave this. A glad, true wife, I win only ask to care for you, and please you, and love yon." “And pumpkin pies and doughnuts an the year round,” rallied Alfred gayly. “Yes, all the time, dear, if you wish it," replied Sarah, humbly and grate­ fully. "Only in a little better home,” said Alfred. "I have been away on ac­ count dt a legacy left me by a rela­ tive. It means less toll and finer sur­ roundings. We won't be too grand, though.

But you won’t get nothing out of him, Miss, except a civil word when he passes you, innybe, for he isn’t a man to talk about himself. So. teeing as I know hls story and all the other folks in the place have got it wrong, IH tell it to you. "Five years ago Doc Bentley was practicing* in Nortonville, a hundred miles across the mountains yonder. He'd passed out of college some three or four years then, and already he’d made quite a reputation among people there. Yon know Nortonville, you aay, MI**? Yes, Pre heard It's a fine city and has a whole lot of rich people there. Doc Bentley waa considered the beat doctor there, and he used to be thick with all tbe society folk* in the place. He wasn’t reserved then, like he ia now, but jolly and lively, they tell me—a kind of overgrown boy. He isn’t oo very old today, except in soul. "Bat for all hls big practice Bentley wasn't the man to sacrifice the poor to get a bigger fee.

There was a happy year. Then, one day, her husband disappeared. It was known that he went, away with ±e yonng lady plerk to a distant city. A deficit of five hundred dollars was found. Sarah’s father was 111 at the Ime. He died without knowing that bis business was on the verge of ruin. All that was left wa* the bouse in which Sarah now lived, and that mort­ gaged. Before the funeral an express packst came containing five hundred dol­ lars, no name, no explanation. The following week Alfred Ritchie reap­ peared in the village. Sarah refused to see him. He wrote her a letter, begging for an interview. Sarah wrote back to him, forbidding him to ever cross her path again. What could she think but the wont! She learned later that Alfred bad ta­ ken charge of a grazing farm one hun­ dred miles distant; like herself, lead­ ing a lonely, loveless life. Sarah tidied up tbe place, as was her wont, and the little place waa hoapltable and neat looking when Lawyer Jones arrived. She had not seen him since her hus­ band had so strangely gone away. “I sent for you, Mr. Jones," she said, "because the mortgage on the bouse here is due. I cannot possibly pay It. but I can keep up the Interest if you will renew tbe loan." "I have a surprise for you.’’ replied the lawyer. “I hardly know how you will take it, but—the mortgage has been paid In full." • "By whom?" exclaimed Sarah, In startled wonder. “By your husband, Alfred Ritchie." “He Is not my—" flashed out Sarah, and then, controlled the rising tide of resentment. "You tell me this!" she added, her lips compressed. “Under no circumstances will I receive help, pity or interest from the man who has wrecked my life’s bappiness." . There was a spell of silence. Sarah sat with heaving bosom, a suspicion of angry tears In her eye*. The attor­ ney seemed thinking how he bad best say what be had to disclose. "Will you listen to a story I am at last authorized to tell?" he asked. Sarah nodded, but with hor emotion choked, her face not at all responsive. "The girl who left the town the day that your busband did. as you know, was a distant relative of your father. Your busband had learned that she MADE THE JOKE COMPLETE Mrs. Brown Took Advice That Was Good, and Also Had a Little Fun Out Of Incident Mrs. Brown, telephoning to a Mend one morqing, happened to aay: “I have such a bad sore throat I*m afraid I cannot go to that dlnaerjparty tomorrow night” ' Just then something w«*t wrong with the connection, nnd ahe heard a strange voice break in: "Gargle your throat with baking soda, and 1 think you will be able to go to your dinner.** "Who is this speaking?" asked Mrs. Brown, startled. ’ "Oh, that you will never know,** an­ swered tbe voice. Mrs. Brown was greatly amused, and decided to try the remedy.' Her throat Improved and she went to the party. During dinner she chanced to overhear the gentleman opposite say to his neighbor: “I had an amusing experience the •ther morning. I was telephoning and the wires became crossed. I snddsnly heard a lady’s voice say: T have such a bad throat I sha*n*t be able to go to that dinner party.’ Just for fun, I broke in and said, *Gargle your throat with baking soda and you'll be all right* Tbe lady's voice in reply sounded rather surprised. I wonder if she took my advice.” Mfs. Brown was/ greatly tempted to reveal her identity as the heroine of the episode, but she decided that she could get more fun gnotber way. She made careful inquiry ot her hoste'ss as to the gentleman's full nano and address, and next morning called him up. When he answered sbe said: “I just wanted you to know that 1 took your advice, gargled my throat with baking soda, and was able to go to the dinner.” ' “Who—who' is this speaking?" came an astonished voice from tbe other end of the wire. "Oh, that you Will never know,” an­ swered Mrs. Brown, laughing, and rang off.

See, there he comes over that rise. He'll be here in five minutes. Watch him when he passes; the horse has a limp, and though lie can go when he wants to. Doc Bentley won't push him ca these made roads. "Where was J at? O. yes. Well, when he was six miles out of Norton­ ville. and walking Into town. Miss Edith Somers was waiting at ghe Pres­ byterian church. That was at noon, and you might drink Doc Bentley could have covered the distance oa foot by then. But the fact is—which I forgot to tell you—that he had been stunned by hls fall and lay like a log In the road from two in the morning until half past eight. Aho. he had a broken shoulder. So you see people were somewhat harsh when they said he oughtn't to have gone, or. If he had gone, he ought to have been back on time. "Miss Somers waited with the bridal party from noon until a quarter past one. Then her father took her home, and an hour later they were speeding in their car out of Nortonville. She never went back—1 guess she was too proud. Her father took her to Palm Beach and after that to Paris and Ixmdon, and. they say site broke a score of hearts during tho next few years; but sbe never married. Of course you know Jim Somers lost hia fortune in the panic year. They sold their empty house at Nortonville, and that was the last anybody heard of them. Just faded out ot people's minds. I heard Miss Somers took up missionary work or something of that sort afterward*. And to thlnk that an old negro man wlih a crushed chest waa at the bottom of it all! "Doc Bentley had to leave Norton­ ville, of course. We learned his story soon after he got here, but I reckon' nobody holds it against him. Anyway, he’s a powerful good doctor. But don’t you believe what other folks aay, for, as I told you, they’ve got it wrong. Miss. "Well, I must leave you here, for I’ve got some shopping to do.

When the first white men came to Inhabit this land they found , the Indlans a strong and sturdy race Inhabit­ ing this new country.. To them the white men brought vice and disease; and soon the Indians* native strength and vitality began to ebb. They grew feeble, foet their former hardihood and . vigor..and were soon unable to cope with the more powerful stranger ia the land. Chief Asonimo saw this and warned hls people that the Great Spirit had spoken their fate, which was to ber that of destruction. He counseled them not to join in strife with tho white man, but to call him Into coun­ cil and to smoke with him the pipe of peace. "I am soon to die,” added the old chief, "and where my body Iles there shall arias a great pine which shall forever smoke as a token of eternal peace between the rod and the white people.” , The prophecy of the. old chieftain was Mailed.

"I speak first for that big piece of candled pineapple" said Alice os the children gathered around Claribel to see the delectable package opened.

This coating Is then transformed by the water into a layer of rust, which pro­ tects the wood from the pile worm. This process must be repeated every fifteen years.

Washington, March 31st.. .Speaker Champ Clark intends to co-operate In whole-hearted sincerity with President Wilson to carry out the promises con­ tained in the Baltimore platform. From the moment the Baltimore convention adjourned, he never had any other thought in view, but on the contrary has taken advantage of every opportunity to advise all democrats to pull together for the success of the ad­ ministration nnd the good of the party. That Champ Clark is not the kind of n man to sulk, and that he will not, was borne home forcibly to every dem­ ocratic member of tho new house, nt the recent caucus at which the speak­ er was unanimously re-elected to pre­ side over the sixty-third congress.

TEETH SHOULD BE EXAMINED Veterinarian Should Be Consulted Where Owner Is Not CompetentFeed Must Bo Chewed. A great many of the troubles of the horse come when the owner think? ho is treating him the best in winter when there is little work and the horse is turned out to pasture, or to an alfalfa stack. There are a number of points to keep in mind when dis posing of the horse for the winter, says a Colorado bulletin. First of these is the condition of his teeth. Remember, if he has been liv­ ing largely on chop feed, or other grain that requires little mastication, that his teeth may not be In condition to handle the roughage of tbe pasture or tbe poor quality of hay which is usually fed to horses that are not working. He may be parrot-mouthed and not able to bite off tbe grass. Hie teeth should by all means be examined by a veterinarian, if tbe owner Is incapable. Rough feed must be well chewed before It can be prop­ erly digested. Recitation, "Your Seed Corn”—Will Warner.

No Grain Should Bo Planted Which Teste Leas Than N per Cent Strong—Very Simple Method for Winter Evenings or for School Work. By Prof. A. L. Stowe. fNaUotwl Crop improrsmast Servlca.1 Every grower should test Ills seed before sowing. Age lowers its vital­ ity. A determination of the seed's power to grow. Is therefore absolutely necessary for the success of tbe fu­ ture crop. Samples for the germina­ tion test, should be selected from grain which has been previously cleaned and graded. Cleaned to re­ move light and imnatored kernels, weedy seeds and foreign material. Graded to secure the plumpest and largest seed, a uniformity in else and maturity of the grain, will Insure aa even growth and maturity of tho crop. A tester for testing tho samples can bo easily made by using two tin plates, one slightly smaller than tho other. Cotton flannel or blotting pa­ per pads are cut of tbe same size ao the inside of the under plate. The pads are soaked in water and aqueesed to remove surplus motstare. Apod is put in bottom of larger pinto and 100 kernels are counted and distrib­ uted over it Another pad Is placed upon the seed and the smaller pinto inverted and used as a cover to pre­ vent evaporation. This tester should be placed In a convenient place where the temperature is between 74 and 80 degrees F. Water can be added to pads when7 they become somewhat dry. Count sprouted seeds after ono week. ‘ There are a number of good com­ mercial seed testers on the market. No grain should give a germination of less than 95 per cent for the best results. The higher tho percentage ot germination the better. That all the grain germinates la not sufficient, however. The germination should bo strong and vigorous resulting In a strong, rapidly growing young plant As the success or failure of the crop depends upon it this Is an important point Any child ten years old can make thii test Why not get your school Interested at once? -HALF LICKED” BEFORE THEY Willing to Take a Chance.

This letter Is written from St. Louis where we arrived the Slot Imt. Be­ fore taking up the trip from Eau Gal­ lio I wish to note the trip to Mel­ bourne to nee the Hopkins mill. Mr. Cook and myself took this short trip the 15th Inat. as suggested in my last letter to you. Mr. Hopkins took as over In his auto and it was a trip well worth the effort to take. We found a large well equipped mill, having ma­ chinery for the handling of logs and luthber, which in some respects was so perfect a* to seem something more than a machine. Mr. Hopkins has a tract of IMd, mainly of cypress tim­ ber, distant about 15 miles from bis mill with a well equipped logging railway to the tract It contains many thousand acres, which Mr. Hopkins inferred would take at least 26 years to work up at the rate he is now . work­ ing it.

Sunday, March 16, 1913, will not soon pass out of my memory. Were it not a seeming Irreverence I would say that the service we attended that day was one of the most Interesting entertainments I have had for many a month. Mr. Cook and myself with our rosnectlve wives walked about u mile jfcd a half In the afternoon of that day to a settlement of colored peo­ ple to attend a meeting of the Afri­ can Methodist Episcopal church. The church wm a little frame building which we thought was a small school house until advised that it was a church. The meeting was for three o’clock and with one ereception we four wore the first ones there, and we were a little late. The room had a rough, small pulpit and altar rail, and was seated with rough seats, and would accommodate from 60 to 70 people. We were the only white peo­ ple there. The rest were not only colored, but the color was ebony black. The meeting turned out to be the quarterly conference service and the preriding elder, a “Dr Garrett,” was to be in charge. The little room began to fill up about 3:30 and a lit­ tle later the doctor with three other leaders of the flock came in and took their places in the pulpit, so far as It would accommodate, the overflow being cared for on the benches. The usual courtesies were observed and the quartet each had a part in the service. While the opening service proceeded others caste in and when the meeting was in full swing a lit­ tle later, the little room was full. Prayer was offered, hymns were sung, he leader lining the hymn and all singing. There was considerable prayer and much singing before the sermon, so that the congregation was well warmed up and ready to respond when Dr. Garrett announced his topic. Dr. Garrett is a large man, and he wore a Prince Albert of an early make, which gave him the appearance of being larger than he really was, but hr would tip the scales very close, if not quite, to 300 pounds. He bad a voice like a country bull, and in that little room with the door and win­ dows closed it was immense. In pass­ ing I might say—there were other things immense in the same close room. Dr. Garret? announced his sub­ ject as being the “Test of Abraham's FMith.” From the start of his ser­ mon to the close, there was no lag­ ging on the part of the speaker, his associates in the ministry, or the congregation. It moved,—moved rapidly, powerfully. How I longed to have Mr. Hoedemaker with his note book. Much of the time it ap­ proached bedlamite confusion, but the power of the doctor's body nnd voice kept him well In the fore­ ground, and they did not drown him out I wish I could give little parts of his sermon, and by the wry. In many ways. It was, a strong sermon and many truths regarding faith were driven home in a way I -have never heard excelled. I am going to tn* to picture a little of it to you. First let us get the setting. The doctor and his massive frame and voice to the front, facing the congregation. Seated behind him two of his ministerial aids, the other in front and to his right. The wo­ men at his flock, nnd a few of the older inen, with bodies swaying and crooning the soft baby lullaby of the colored mammy all the time after the first quarter stretch was passed, and others supporting the doctor with their “aniens" and “dat’s so brudder.” After his sermon wa» started with the ojlening: The Minister: “Brudder* this was no small test the Lo’d sent Abram. You’ll see that Abram was to take his son, his only son, the son he loved.’’ The ministers in the chairs: “Yas! Yas! Lo’d, the boy Abram loved mor'n hisself.” Minister: '* Twas the son of Sarah, the son God gave her in her old age.” The others: "Yas Brudder, Sarah’s son, Sarah who was barren." The Minister: “And brudders and sisters. Abram was not ullus loyal * Continued on page four. AN INFANT CHILD FOUNDHURDERED TINT BODY WAS WRAPPED IN OLD SKIRT AND GTNNY8ACK AND PLACED IN BASKET. IsvestigaHon Thus Far Falls to Give Any Clew to Perpetrator* •r Ik, CrtaK. ' _______ ) When Willard Ickes, who lives on South Church street near the southern limits of the city, was engaged in cleaning up some brush and rubbish on a vacant lot near his home Mon­ day morning, he came upon a basket, that had been placed by some one in the edge of a corn shock. It contained some object In a gunnyeack and, -being suspicious that something was wrong he called his wife. The sack was opened and in It was found the dead body of a new bom male child, wrapped tn a black >kirL The head and face of the child had been crushed, as if by a blow. The body was not decomposed, so that It is not-probable It bad been dead more than two or three days. ' Sheriff Williams and Prosecuting At­ torney Sullivan were notified and steps were taken to investigate the case. There being no coroner, no one hav­ ing qualified for that office last fall. Dr. F. G. Sheffield was ■ appointed to that position by the prosecuting attor­ ney and the county clerk. The body of he babe was then taken to W. H. Stebbins 9t Son’s undertaking rooms, and Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held. t The only clews to the mystery so far discovered are a market basket, on the handle of which arc several faint marks as though made with a pencil, a gunnysack, having the name of some denier in Lyons, Mich., and a woman’s black skirt saturated with blood. The post mortem examination show­ ed that the skull bad been crushed , and the jaw broken. The verdict of the jury was to the effect that the infant came to its death . as the result of a blow administered by a person or persons to them un­ known. Sheriff Williams and his force arc doing all in their power to solve the mystery, and it is to be hoped the guil­ ty parties will be discovered and pun­ ished. WnNaai James Fitter. William James Fisher, second ton of John and Jane Fisher was born June 9, 1848, in Llsterdunn, county of Down, near the city of Belfast, Ire­ land. At five years of age he came with ■bis parents to America, living in Rochester, New York, a few years, then moving to Hastings as a pioneer, on the farm which always remained his parents' home during their life. He was married to Jane Penfield Dec. 24, 1868. They cleared the farm which has been their home for forty three years. Stricken with a linger­ ing illness, of more than a year's dur­ ation, he suffered great pain until he passed to the great beyond April 7, 1913. In his passing has gone a kind in­ dulgent father, loving husband, and a citizen above reproach in dealing with bis fellow men. There are left to mourn their loss, his wife, one son and wife, tour grandchildren and three brothers, beside a host of friends to speak of his largeness of heart. Funeral services were conducted nt the house Wednesday afternoon. Rev C. S. Rennelis officiating. Interment was in Riverside cemetery.

Every year BL Augustine celebrates the landing of Ponce de Leon, and it is now making great preparation for the celebration of the 400th anniver­ sary in the flrat week of the coming April. Here Mr. Flagler, mentioned in my last, has given evidence of his gen­ erosity, in the building of the two fine, high priced hotels the “Hotel Ponce Do Leon” and the “Alcasar.” He also built a memorial church for tbe Presbyterians in memory of his daugh-! ter, who died many years ago. Thh 1 church contains the Flagler mauso­ leum where the ashes of his daughter are and where he will be carried wheu his spirit leaves this world. He also built the Grace Methodist Episcopal church for that denomina­ tion. The old burial ground Is of exceed­ ingly great Interest. Prbbably this ground has one of the most truthful memorials now written on a monu­ ment It is said that the Inscription on monuments are not always truth­ ful. The one in this burial ground may be. It has a rough face of an Indian. The monument itself is not very elaborate. It is covered with moss and vines and below the rudely carved face are these words: ' into a cold climate with summer cloth­ ing. It is conceded that the former Is preferable.

After tho sermon reports were read, the characters of the different officers passed, and by the way, the doctor wasn’t so slow in handling the busi­ ness part of the meeting. After the stewards wore called up and passed be had the Stewardesses—some three or. four women—stand up. Then he asked if anyone had any complaints against them, and as no one spoke, he passed them as being of good char- acter, then turning to the congrega­ tion, he said. “Brudders, you've had a chance to make yo* complaints and havn’t done it, now don't you go to talkin’ about these slaters after I’ve ogne,” and turning to the women again, he said, “If they do talk about ■you, you let me know, and when 1 come next time, I’ll make ’em sorry, they did." Seven dollars were called for to pay the conference debt, and the way those darkies, young and old, went to the front with their pennies, nickels, dimes, and possibly quarters, was astonishing. Our party made a good contribution and. so far as I am con­ cerned, and I think I voice the feel­ ing of tbe other three, 1 never made one with greater willingness. They raised upwards of ten dollars, and were overjoyed. . We left our good friends in Eau G&llie the afternoon of the 17th and reached SL Augustine that evening where we stayed until the following Wednesday. St Augustine is a moat interesting spot, a quaint old city, with its narrow streets, its ancient buildings and its many points of great interest, among them, old Fort Marion with its warlike relics, it.* evidences of Spanish cruelty and its dark unwholesome dungeons. Its old hotels, and its flno modern ones, are also much In evidence.

While tlw whole face and method of oar trial and commercial life were beiua changed beyond recognition the tarifl Kboduleo hare remained what they were before the change began or bsvr Doved in tbe direction they were giv­ en when no largo circumstance of our InSMtrial development was what It is today.

How Tariff Hao Grown. We bare seen tariff legislation wan der very far afield In our day—very fur Indeed from tbe field In which unr prosperity might have hod a norma i growth and stimulation. No one wt><> looks the facto squarely tn the face or knows anything that Iles beiteatb the surface of action can toil to perceive tbe principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We tutig ago passed tieyood the modest notlo" of "protecting” the industries of tli** country nnd moved boldly forward t<« the idea that they were entitled to tin* direct patronage of the government For a long* rime—a time so tong that the men now active in public policv hardly reioemtwr tlie conditions that preceded It-we have nought in oar tariff schedules to give each group »t manufacturers or produce™ what they tbemwlves thought that they needed Id order to maintain a practically exelusive market on against tbe rest «i tbe world.

In our world of big business, bur everything thrives by concerted nr rangecaenL Only new principles of action will wive us from a final bard crystallization of monopoly and a com­ plete loss of tbe influences that quick en enterprise and keep Independent en­ ergy alive Moat Abolish Privilogo. It is plain what those principles must be. We roust abolish everything thnt bears even the semhlauce of privilege or of any kind of artificial advantage and put our business men and pro- ducera under the stimulation of a con­ stant necessity to l>e efficient, econom­ ical and enterprising, masters of com­ petitive* supremacy, bettor workers and merchants than any In the world. Aside from the duties laid upon arti­ cles which we do not and probably cannot produce, therefore, and the duties laid u|wn luxuries and merely for tbe sake of the revenues they yield, tho object of the tariff duties hence­ forth laid must be effective compi-ti* tlon. the whetting of American wits bv contest with the wits of the rest of the world.

It destroys it. We must make changes In our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose ob­ ject Is development, a more free nnd wholesome development not revolution or upset or confusion. We must build up trade, especially foreign trade. We need tbe outlet nnd tho enlarged field of energy more than wo ever did t>— fore. We most build up industry a* well nnd must adopt freedom iu the place of artificial stimulation only far as It will build, not pull down. !■: dealing with the tariff tho method hy which this may l>e done will be a mut­ ter of Judgment exercised Item by Item. To some not accustomed to tbiexcitements nnd responsibilities of greater freedom our meti:ods may in some respects nnd at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be hurol** nnd yet be remedies. It Is our busi­ ness to make sore that they are geon- , ine remedies. Our object Is clenr. if our motive Is above Just challenge and only an occasional error, of Judg­ ment Is chargeable against us we shall be fortunate. Thorough, but Modsrsto. We are called upon to render the country a great service in more mas­ ters than one.

Elements In tbe extra seasiou of cod­ grass are unnsnaL President Wilson has called the great body together at a time when his party uas absolute con­ trol of every branch of tbe guverament relating to legialation. This has not been the case before tn twenty years During that period of long ago when tbe Democrats were to power Pretddent Cleveland called an extra session, but tbe conditions were vastly different from now. The extra session under President Wilson la remarkable because the law­ makers to a large extent are men of comporatively recent rise to promi­ nence. Because of tbe fact that tbe Democratic i>arty Is providing a change from Republican rale for tbe first time in sixteen years great Interest la cen­ tered upon tbe doings of ruugroaa Virtually a new generation of legis­ lators has sprung up. With but u -cry few exceptions there are no men wh«> figured Id congressional doings ot twenty yearn ago who are sharing tin* responsibilities of'tbe body now. Of only one thing has tbe public Ih*»*i» absolutely certain, and that is thnt the tariff would be first and foretuust among tbe nubjecta Cor work by the legislators, and that revision down want would be tbe purpose. Tho legislator* theauwlveH have not known just how tbe revision is to be managed, and it baa been welt understood that tbeyT would not all be pleased over all the details of tbe ultimate change* The subject baa been thrashed over n<» efteo and earnestly that its tntrioich** hare bscome feared. The ways and means committee, which has had tho task of drafting the tentative form of tbs new tariff meas­ ure. has been unable to announce com­ pletion of Its work In advance of the extra session, but the probability thnt the measure will Imj taken it|» schedule by scbedule. Tbe public bns been led to expert thnt after tbe tariff is disposed of con­ gress will consider currency, tbe in­ come tax, Philippine independence and the Pnunmn tolls questions. Much publicity has been given to the proposed national income tax. Tile tax will probably apply only to Incomes of over $-*>.000 nnnnally. Certain member* of congress hold thnt tills sort of levy would be confined to but a conjpnra tlvely small proportion of tbe public and that the revenue would not be suf­ ficient They argue that an Inheritance tax should be added to insure the need­ ed revenue.

HEN MANURE AS FERTILIZER Kind Deed mi Fmim Should Bo Well Taken Care Of. Hen manure as a fertiliser haa greater value than any other fertilis­ er on the farm. It Is generally sup­ posed by some poultrymen that the manure will pay for taking care of the hens, but this depends much on ‘how It Is kept. The dropping boards under the roosts should be kept cov­ ered with some absorbent to preserve tbe strength of the droppings. Land plaster or South Carolina rock Is good. Never use wood ashes or lime with the poulfty droppings. The ammonia or nitrogen would be set free, and part of the value of the fer­ tilizer lost. The droppings should not be applied on a. growing crop, or cov­ ered soil. Use it on corn by putting a handful on each hill at the time of last hoeing. It should be kept under cover until used. Killing a Turkey. The proper way to kill a turkey is to tie its feet together, hang on a pole, then cut the throat nnd allow to bleed freely. Dry pick, leaving bead* and wings on.

Service (By R. B. QIIJ.ER, Indian*.) 1 am a carpenter, not a gardener, but I wanted to make some extra money and tackled celery. I have a lot back ot my house, 50x125 feet, and It waa not particularly adapted for cel­ ery, but I read up on tbe subject of soil and learned that in order to raise the best crops, growers give a good coat ot stable manure every second year. From this I concluded stable manure contained the necessary fer­ tilizing elements for the celery plant, which might be raised on any good ground, provided it was fertilized well In that way. j As early In tbe spring as the ground could be worked I sowed part ot a flve-cent package of seed in one row across tbe garden, and cultivated it the same as my rows of beets and parsnips. When the plants were ’ about four inches high. I prepared a . trench to set them in. The round was first coated well with good stable ma- ' nure and then spaded up as deep as : one could spade. After it was well : worked I made a trench about one ' foot deep and 7 or 8 Inches wide at tbe ; bottom. In this trench I set two rows : ot plants six Inches apart and the plants also six inches asunder in the. row la a zig zag manner to that In a trench 25 feet long I set just 100 plants. All lived and all produced fine, large stalks. The plants being set out in tbe mid­ dle of the summer, needed very little cultivation. They grew so rank that they kept tbe weeds down In tbe row, and only a few weeds grew on the side of the trenches. These can .be hoed to advantage with an ordinary gar­ den hoe, so 1 cut off the up corners Commercial Checking Accounts Are Sought By All Good Banks That the Hastings National Bank has such a large .number of these deposits is proof positive of the high position of this institution in this community, h is recognized among business men as a good combination of progressiveness and conservatism.

If you are going to build a house, barn; or do any repair work we will be glad to figure with you on ' your needs and you will be a satisfied customer of the Bauer Lumber yards. We have a few more cars of good barn elding, shingles, fence posts, etc., to offer you at the same low price. Banking Up Cstsry. COME NOW With tM, tool I could boo close under tbe leaves without doing injury to ths plants. Setting in this way has at least three advantages: First, It does not need to be banked with earth since the stalks grow tan without it; sec­ ond tbe wind cannot whip the stalks about and thus Injurs the leaves; third fewer leaves of equal sUe grow on the stalks. In this trench tho cel­ ery was 30 Inches tall and ot a very fine quality. Such trenches as I made need net ot ground one qan grow 33 rows, 2* feet long with 1,056 plants In a row, or 34,848 plants per acre. At 1 cent each they would fetch 3348.48. I have sold a few stalks to my neighbors at 3% cents a stalk. At this rate an acre would produce 8871.20. But should I receive only one-third tbe retail price, there Is profit in raising it here where there is no celery land. Dry Matter in the Cornfield. Prof. J. H. Sheppard, dean of agri­ culture, North Dekota agricultural col­ lege, says the amount of dry matter In a cornfield Increases at almost a regular rate from the time of tasselIng until ripe. In round numbers It Is as follows: When in silk It has twice aa much dry matter as when In tassel, when In milk three times, when glazed four times and when ripe five times as much as when In tassel. The digestible matter also increases as the corn matures, so that tbe increase In dry matter is even less than the In­ crease in digestible matter per acre. With these facts in mind one cannot be left in doubt as to the importance of allowing corn to become as near ripe as possible before cut for fodder. It should not be left, however, after it is ripe, for the leaves to be broken off by tbe wind and tbe digestible mat­ ter bleached out by rain and dews. Tbe common mistake, however, la for the grower to cut It too early. Roup and Catarrh. Catawh is not roup. It Is usually, caused by dampness; exposure to a drenching rain Is a good starter for. the disease. Dr. Sanborn says it Is a filth disease, and not caused by “tak- ■ Ing cold.” The difference between' roup and catarrh la that the latter1 has a tendency to get well without treatment, while the former seems In- ‘ cllned to progress to a fatal end. ■ Comfort for the Birds. No success can be obtained with poultry unless the fowls are kept com­ fortable. A man caught In a rain­ storm can change his clothing and thus save catching cold, but a fowl must allow her clothing to dry ox her. No fowl can stand a constant expos­ ure to inclement weather, nnd the more we protect them the better will be the results. and talk that new house, barn and shed over with us while we can serve you right.

It furnishes nearly natural or nor­ mal conditions. 3. The sawdust ia light, clean, and easy to get and handle in February, •March and April, when the test* Ing should be done; 1s a good non­ conductor of heat and cold, so that the temperature is kept even during ger­ mination, and holds the moisture so perfectly that there is no danger of drying out. • Tho number of boxes required will depend upon the amount of seed to K. tested and the time limit. Where sev­ eral boxes are used, ■ we generally stack them up, one on top of the other. When the first set of boxes has bean taken off, It is a good plan to put another set over at once, and while the corn in these Is sprouting, the first set ot ears can be butted and tipped, shelled, graded and band-picked. If more than one kernel of the six fail to grow, tbe ear should be discarded. Making the Teat.—There are sev­ eral excellent seed corn testers on the market Probably no method to better suited to all conditions than, what Is known as the sawdust ger­ mination box method, which la briefly described as follows:— Getting Ready.—Mike a box three to four inches deep and 30x30 inches in dimensions. Fill the box about half full of moist sawdust well pressed down so as to leave a smooth, even surface. The sawdust should be put In a gunny sack and set in a tub of warm water for at least an hour (or still better, over night) so that It will be thoroughly moistened before us­ ing. Rule off a piece of good white cloth (sheeting) about the six® of the box, into squares, checker-board fash­ ion, two and one-half inches each way. Number the squares 1, 2, 3, etc. Place the cloth on the sawdust and tack it to the box at the corners and edges. Lay out the ears to be tested side by side on planks, tables, or on the floor, remove one kernel from near the butt, middle and tip ot the ear; turn the ear over and remove three kernels from th® opposite side in like manner, making six kernels in an, thus secur­ Fig. 3- Showing sprouts in the ger­ minating test at the end of eight ing a sample from the entire ear. day*.

LIKE THE ROCKS OF OLDjlBRALTAR ZAGELMEIEK BROS.' HARD LUCK. Employe in Their Laundry Sara Them for Damages for AL Irged Injuries. The Grand Rapids Press of April 11th ha* the following: Through the intervention of her guardian, H. Kruizenga, Tillie DeWitt late yesterday instituted suit by sum­ mons in superior court against Zagelmeler Bros., proprietors of the Supe-lor laundry, demanding $5,000 for per­ sonal injuries alleged to have been suffered while In the employ of the defendant*. Attorney R. M. Ferguson, who rep­ resents the plaintiff, states that the care is unique. In that, so far aa can be recalled, it Is the first Instance since the employers* liability compen­ sation act became operative in which the employers sued have failed to take advantage of the law's provisions. -Miss DeWitt some days ago, while endeavoring to rescue a shirt which was scorching, suffered her band to be run through a mangle, sustaining In­ juries which, claim Is made, will per­ manently cripple and disfigure her. Zagelmeier Bros, made defendants to the suit, came here recently from Hastings, and acquired possession of the plant of the defunct Banner laun­ dry’, which had encountered many vi­ cissitudes. ' A heritage of trouble seems to have been entailed them with the acquisition, with this heavy suit ns a definite manifestation. One of Oar Greatest Needs. It 1* significant that the Inspection committee from the university that recently visited our high school and reported favorably on keeping Hast­ ings on the accredited list took oc­ casion in their report to call atten­ tion to the need of a new building. Hasting* high school stands well throughout the state, but It i* in spite of the unsaiafacory condition of Its school building and equipment, and the fact that Prof. Whitney ha* called attention to our poor building should cause us to consider whether It is not time that we a* an intelligent, enter­ prising community do something to take away the reproach that is com­ ing upon ua out through the state because of our inadequate building. • The fact is, the time is very near nt hand when the growth of the city will compel some tangible, definite and adequate action to meet this necessity. It Is well, ‘ therefore, in planning for public Improvement*, to bear in mind that a new high school building will have to be provided very soon. It can not much longer be de­ layed or ignored.

Again On the University List The board of education has received notice from the university that Hast­ ings high school diplomas will be ac­ cepted for the next three years. Our schools have long enjoyed this privi­ lege, which goes to show the good standing they have in the estimation of the committee on Diploma Schools of the university. To be on the uni­ versity list means that graduates of our school are considered well pre­ pared to take up the work at the uni­ versity, and proves the efficiency of our teachers. Death Takes Bright Young Han. John N. Ream, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Ream, was born at Hasting* March 14, 1887. He graduated from Hastings high school in the class of 1905. He secured a position as bookkeeper for the Lake Shore & Michigan South­ ern Railroad in Chicago, III., but be­ cause of ill health found it necessary to change hto work. He then took a position with the Hastings Table Co. and continuing HI health made It necessary to again resign hto position. He battled bravely for two year* long­ er with the disease which wa* too strong for him to withstand. Everything that loving parent* and relative* could do wa* done for hl* comfort. He wa* a studious, thought­ ful young man and wa* interested In all good thing*. He gave much thought to the sub­ ject of the Christian life and finally, definitely, and completely surrender­ ed to Jesus Christ. Ho was very devoted to hl* home and friend* and was greatly loved and respected by all who knew him. He passed peacefully to rest Sunday afternoon, April 13th, at 5 o'clock.

Washington. D. C., April 14. 1913. The democratic tariff bill, now pend­ ing tn congress, proposes to take sonic of the tax off of such articles as wool­ ens, cottons, sugar, meat and lumber, and to make up for the loss of rev­ enue by taxing the incomes of the wealthy. Under the Payne-Aldrich law the hats, coats and shirts of tbe masses are taxed almost 71 per cent., while ■ men like John D. Rockefeller having an annual Income of $50,000,000 n hA year have not been required to pay a V Single penny of taxation to the na­ tional government on their swollen fortunes. It goes without saying that the sugar trust, the woolen trust, the lumber trust, and the beef trust will condemn the new tariff bill os class legislation. They were never heard to complain however of class legisla­ tion when it hit the other fellow. The masses of the people produce the wealth, and by legislative ad­ vantage a few get possession of it. and now these few object to the trans­ fer of wealth of even the amount ot taxation derived from the tariff on ' woolens, cottons, sugar, meat and lumber, which are but a few of sev­ eral thousand Hems on which the masses are now paying a tax. The Income Tax. Under the Income tax provision those having an Income of more than i 14,000 must pay a tax of one per cent. * on his income of $4,100, would pay on bls Income in excess of the ex­ empted >40000. For instance a man having an Income of >4,100 would pay a lax of >1; a man having an income of >5,000, would pay a tax of >10; >10,000, >50; >100,000, >2,360; >1.00«.000, >38,260. “Wilson Has Made Good." Woodrow WUaon has already made good as president of the United States. You may verify this from tho first man you meet in the street, re­ gardless of his political creed, race or color. It seems to be in the air everywhere. The people appear to understand that Woodrow Wilson Is on the job in Washington, working , carefully, courageously, ^nd consci­ entiously. in their Interest, and they stand ready to bold up his hand as often as he may need the backing of the public sentiment. President Wilson’s action in read­ Ing his message to the members of fg congress face to face Is being ap' plauded everywhere. Here is the i. story of the president’s visit to the capital, told fa minutes: . • . 12:42, Cabinet meeting adjourns. 12:45, President departs for the [ capital. "Of course I wasn’t responsible for Mr. Tavenner’s election. I helped In every way 1 could, however. My hus­ band and 1 work together In everything. I can take shorthand dictation quite rapidly, and can run the typewriter pretty fast, so you see, that, togeth­ er with my experience with Senator LaFollette, makes It possible for me to make myself pretty useful to my husband, it is a pleasure for me to help him. Now that he Is elected, 1 take just as much interest in what he docs for his district as be does himself. We both appreciate deeply that the people of the Fourteenth Dis­ trict believe in us and trust us to repre­ sent them faithfully, and we are work­ ing day and night to make good." Mrs. Tavenner was one of the spec­ tators in the galleries when her hus­ band was sworn in. The oath of office was odminlstered to Tavenner by Speaker Champ Clark, which in itself Is a rather remarkable coincidence, in view of the fact that it was Speaker Clark who first recog­ nised Tavenner’s ability as a writer and who has been a steadfast friend ever since. Tavenner received what he declares was his most valuable education while setting type “at the case" in a country newspaper office for four years while a boy. He later conceived the idea that he wanted to write ar­ ticles on the great issues under his own name, and he went to Washing­ ton. His articles were so independent In character that at first no newspa­ per would publish them. Champ Clark was attracted to the articles, looked Tavenner up, found him work­ ing in a hull bedroom and was so Im­ pressed that he decided to help him. Going to Lead.

REMAKLE, IN ROANOKE RIVER. To Lieutenant William B. Cushing, a young officer of great bravery, cool­ ness and resources, was due the sinking of the rebel ram Albemarle In Roanoke river. This was in June. 1864, when another formidable ram had been completed by tbe rebel navy, end was about to be sent on a cruise of destruction to northern ports Getting the sanction to work out his plan from his superior officers the in­ trepid officer and picked crew steamed silently and cautiously up the nar­ row river, in a picket boat, (about the size of steamship's launch) with a torpedo lashed to a spar. It was mid­ night, and the little boat passed suc­ cessfully and without challenge or hail, several other vessels. It was not until Lieut Cushing reached within pistol shot of the Al­ bemarle which lay along the dock at Plymouth, that was he hailed, and then haltingly as if the lookouts were in doubt He made no reply, but con­ tinued to press toward the great monster, and for the second time he was hailed. He paid no attention to the challenge, but kept straight on his way. In another instant, as he closed in on the ram, her Captain, in a very dignified, pompous manner, shouted, “What boat is that?" The reply was an invitation to go to---------- . Then there was a terrible clamor. The rattle was sprung, and all hands were called to quarters, evidently in great consternation. ’ A musketry fire waa opened upon the torpedo boat, and a charge of canister fired, injuring some of the •crew. Along the dock to which the ram was tied were a large number of soldiers, stationed to guard against the landing of Federal force after a surprise. In front of their lines blazed brightly up several camp-fires, which threw a strong light upon tho Albemarle, and bosom of the river; by the aid of this Lieut Cushing, dis­ covered the pier ot floating timbers, which protected the ram on ail sides, from rams or torpedoes. By the same light be saw the body of soldiers blaring away at hto boat He brought tn bow of hto boat about a little and •ent from its bow gun a charge of eannlster that sent them flying. Mak­ ing a complete circle, under a scorch­ ing fire from the ram, he came around bow on, at full steam, pressing the raft of timbers toward the Albemarle. His boat soon lost head way, came to a stand still, refusing to back off or go •heed. The moment for decisive action had now arrived; the enemy fired mus­ ketry and pistol almost in the offi­ cer’s face from all ports of the ves­ sel. Several of Ms men were dis­ abled, and severely wounded. The rebel officers and crew, shouted; “Now we’ve got em; surrender or well blow you to pieces." The case looked desperate; but Lieut. Cubing wa* as cool and determined ss one could be under the most agree­ able circumstances- He knew the moment ot all moments had come, •nd he did not allow it to glide from kls hands. Seizing the lanyard to the torpedo and the line of the spar, and crowding the spar until he bad brought it under the overhang of the ram, he detached it by a supreme ef­ fort, and the next second pulled the lanyard/' of the torpedo and exploded It fairly under the vessel on her >ort aide, just below the port bole of the two hundred pound Brooke’s rifle, which at that moment was discharged at the little boat An immense volume of water shot upward, almost drown­ ing the intrepid crew, and to add to this peril, the heavy shell of the big gun boat had gone crashing through the bottom of the boat, which at ones began to sink rapidly. Ordering all to save themselves as best they could. Cushing threw off his coat and shoes and plunged into the river, his crew following him, all who were able to do so. They struck for the middle ot the river, under a hot fire of musketry, the balls penetrating their clothing. The rebels took to boats, and pur­ sued calling upon them to surrender. Many gave up. Cushing swam down the river half a mile, until exhausted and chilled, he was compelled to struggle to the shore which he reached about daylight. After lying in the weeds along the river bank for some time, he re­ covered strength sufficient to crawl further into the swamp where he lay between two paths and in speaking distance of the enemy's fort. While thus partially screened by the grass, he saw some rebel officers pass by, and heard their conversation, which was entirely devoted to the affair pulled off by the Intrepid officer anti crew. From this ho learned that the torpedo had done its work effectually, and his great object was accomplished, tho destruction of the Albemarle. A short time after he discovered a row boat and In this he succeeded In reach­ ing the Federal squadron, which lay twelve miles below. History does not record, whether any other of the crew succeeded tn escaping, nor has tho writer been able to trace further tho career ot Lieut Cushing. people may say, such foolhardy un­ dertakings are not justified but they little know, how strenuous arc exi­ gencies in war. At the battle of Santiago almost a similar expedition was anode. How little do we npppreciate in these piping times, the dang­ ers encountered, and sacrifices made to keep this nation in one Union, ant! start It on the road to be the leader of all nations.

Temporary relief Is one thing, but a lasting cure is altogether different. There is nothing temporary about the work of Doan’s Kidney Pills as the following Hastings evidence proves beyond a doubt. • M. D. Reed, 418 E. High St., Host­ ings, Mich., says: "I suffered from kidney trouble for years. I doctored and tried different remedies, but got no relief. Finally Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my notice and I took them. They first relieved me, then cured me. They drove the rheumatic pains out of my back, regulatcd the kidney action and cured the hard backaches and pains. Doan’s Kidney Pills put one's system In fine shape.

Rises of Rich Ground DhouM bo Fropared Early In' Spring and Bar­ ley and Gate Drilled In. As early in the spring as possible prepare a piece of rich ground. When a good seed bed is made, drill in from 1 to bushel* ot barley or early oats per acre; or, better still, a mixture of these. Be sure to-use the beardless barley. Then follow with a grass seeuer, sowing a mix­ ture of four pounds dwarf Essex rape, three pounds ot timothy, and eight pounds of clover seeds per acre. I have been using alsike, medium and mammoth clovers, but this spring t’hall include alfalfa, writes an expert in the Farm and Home. I cover the seed with a weeder. | sometimes crossing. A light spike­ tooth barrow will answer also. If sown early, and tbe earlier the.better, this light covering will be sufficient, as there is usually plenty of moisture tn the ground at this time. When the rape is about six inches high, which will be In six to eight weeks, bogs may be turned in; the rape, barley and oats should furnish abundant pasture for about twentyfive shots* per acre. In the meantime timothy and clovers are growing to supplant the maturing barley and oats. and. with the rape, will furnish a well-balanced ration until covered with scow. This lot will next year fur­ nish the best meadow pasture on the farm. How to Test Garden Seed. To avoid poor stands, seeds should be tested before planting. This is a very simple operation and requires but a few minutes. There are several simple methods of testing seeds, prob­ ably most of which will answer the purpose. One of the simplest sod quickest ways is to test between blotting pa­ per. First, count out 100 seeds of the kind to be tested, taking them just as they come and not picking out the best-looking ones. Scatter tbe seeds between two pieces of blotting paper from four to six Inches square and place in a common china plate and turn another plate bottom side up over the first. If pasteboard plates can be had they are better, especially if a large number of samples are to be tested. Experiments With Turnips. At the Aberdeen and North of Scot­ land college of agriculture a mixture of six-sevenths hundredweight of sul­ phate ot ammonia, five and threefourths hundredweight superphosphate and one hundredweight sulphate or potash produced an IncreaBe of nine tons fifteen hundredweight of turnips per acre. When the potash was omit­ ted the increased over the check plat was only five tons per acre. On omit­ ting the phosphate the Increase waa two tons, and omitting the nitrogen resulted in an increase of seven tone. The use of superphosphates alone showed an increased yield of five tons over tbe check plat, but of only ons ton on plats fertilized with manure. Causes of Failure With Alfalfa, Experiments at tbe Cornell station have been conducted to determine tbe causes of failure in alfalfa culture, and the practical suggestions derived from tho results were that nt least a moderately fertile soil is needed for this crop, that the use of phosphate as a fertilizer is valuable in this connec­ tion and that Inoculation Is futile un­ less tho soli Is in a condition to'favor the growth of the bacteria.

In her darkened room Katherine sat by the window for n long time, think­ ing with a feeling of sickening disgust on the sordid scene between ber par­ ents just enacted. This was the other side, the unlovely other side, of that splendid life of conquest for which she had put the best of all aside. Thus it made victims of its votaries. She thought of John.

There wus one tiling which he would do—deep down within him was the unworded resolve that it should bo his valedictory. “There's something.” he told Haig, a week after the primaries, “that has been haunting me." And be told the other what Sheehan had said concerning the bank. "Well, what business is It of yours? You aren't the guardian of the public morals.

It’s so vulgar to talk loud­ ly before servants.” Sirs. Hampden entered and. with an air of utter ex­ haustion. deposited ber substantial self In an easy chair. “Father.” Katherine explained, with cruel brevity, “has lost his money.” It was on unexpected tonic. The In­ valid suddenly sat bolt upright and aimoet shrieked. “Lost our money? Do I you mean to say. Stephen Hampden.

She managed a stagger that would have done credit to Bernhardt, clutching nt tables and j choirs for the doubtfully necessary support out of. the room. Hampden growled again, unintel­ ligibly. “Father, Isn’t there something to be done?” “Mnrchell. I've an appointment with him In New Chelsea tomorrow.

You need a guardian angel.” Bo it happened that at a critical time in tbe fortunes of the bank and Its offi­ cers John and Haig set out on tbeir mission.

Just take chairs in the cage. While we’re waiting I’ll finish my work." said Blake. He ushered them into the cage, found chairs, offered cigars and, po­ litely excusing himself, retired into the cashier's office and settled himself at the desk. For n few minutes be worked, with a speed that was not nervous haste, transcribing figures from the book before him and adding up columns. Then he wrote a few lines and carefully blotted them. This done, lie seemed to have come to the end of his work. But be did not return to John and Haig. He seemed to have lost consciousness of their proximity. Tbe pen fell from bls fingers. His folded bands rested passively on the desk. He sat motion­ less. staring straight ahead into noth­ ingness. Under the gaslight his face showed very white. A heavy, uncanny silence descended upon the three men. There came n rap at the door. As though bo bad been waiting for just that Warren rose, went to the door and admitted tbe new visitors. They were Hampden and Murehell. Hampden wns the first to notice the presence of John and Haig. “Wliat are they doing here?” be de­ manded suspiciously. "Come back into tbe office and we’ll explain.” Warren answered. “You come, too." be nodded to tbe men with­ in the cage. Tbe five men gathered in tbe little office. No one sat down or offered to shake hands. Warren broke the silence calmly. "Dunmeade wants to examine tbe books.” "Well, he can't do it," Hampden said quickly. “So l told him," Warren continued. “And be followed the request up by ■erring me with a subpoena to appear with the books tefore tbe grand jury.” ”Wby are you doing this?” Murehell demanded of John. "Because I have Information that tbe bank is carrying worthless political pa­ per and is rotten. I have It from one who has helped manipulate such paper —from one. in fact whose notes, sup­ posed to be uncoltectable, tbe bank is dow trying to collect" “And on general suspicion you would take an action that might rain tbe aoundest bank iu tbe country?" ■ “Not on general luspfctoo."

Bees HL ' Stimulative feeding of bees is apt’to induce early swarms and unless we want to Increase the number of colo­ nies wo will work to prevent awarmIng. There are several different meth­ ods of this, none of which will entire­ ly prevent it. but have a tendency to decrease it Crowded and overheated hives are conducive to swarming. So large hives (or adding a second body to the hives) will help lessen swarm­ ing. Shade, plenty of It. (not in the morn­ ing however) Is considered good, or frequent extracting of honey to give plenty of room. (I personally am not In favor ot extracting honey from the brood frames to curb the swarming Impulse.) Frequent examinations cf the colonies (every eight or ten days during the swarming season) for the purpose of cutting out the queen cells is a help, but this is warm, hard work and sometimes fails by not being thor­ oughly done. Taking out the old queen and Introducing a young queen early In the season generally prevents swarming. Swarming Is largely due to crowded brood chambers and since eggs laid during the honey flow do not produce gatherers, several methods have been tried to reduce brood rear­ ing. Tho queen may be removed or enged in the hive to keep her from lay­ ing. In either case the bees will usu­ ally build queen cells to replace her and these must be kept cut out. Plenty of room, plenty of shade and irentllallon to colonies for extracted noney, ventilation, shade and artificial swa rmlng for comb honey. From the above we find we must force brood rearing early In tho season and stop it as the honey begins; other­ wise we will have more eaters than workers. "In the spring the bees gather pollen | and nectar from various early flowers. ■ and often from fruit blooms and dan­ I delions. During this time brood rear­ ' Ing is stimulated by new honey but : afterwards there is usually a period of ! drought when brood rearing is dlmln• ished or not still more increased as it • should be. This condition continues ' until the white clover flow comes on, usually with a rush. When brood • rearing is again augmented. If such conditions exist the beekeeper should force brood rearing during drouth by ‘ stimulative feeding. When white clover comes In bloom he may find it <k sirable to prevent brood rearing to turn the-bees to gathering honey.” Amateur. been closely pulled down, but a glim­ mering around the edges showed that a light was burning within.

Can 1 do something for you?” "We'd like to have a little talk with you. Warren.” said John. "It concerns tbe bank." “Tbe bank?" Suddenly Warren by some strange Lntuition knew, ns he had known that the market would sag, what this untimely visit portended. He felt the blood leave Ills face uml rush to bis heart. His hands and feet became Icy cold. He stared stupidly at tbe visitors, as though his faculties were benumbed. “I—I’m pretty bony tonight.” he said. ;*Can't you put it off until Monday?” “I think we'd better talk it over now. Warren," John answered. The sense of shock seemed to pass away. The cashier threw tbe door wider open to admit them. “Come in,” he said quietly. They entered, and he closed and locked the door behind them. Then he straightened up, ail composure, to face them. “I’ll have to ask you to be brief. I’m preparing some papers for Senator Murcheli and Mr. Hampden, and they’ll be hero soon." “1’11 come right to the point," John answered. ''Warren. 1 want to see the books of the bank.

"How to Manage the Primary Class nnd Age Limit.” by Mrs. Dora McDermid. She gave a very interest­ ing and instructive talk on this sub­ ject and in her experience she had found that one could do better work with larger classes composed of chil­ dren from the ages of five to twelve This of course Is In the country where the schools arc scattered. The young­ er ones are not able to read the les­ sons and they learn by hearing the older ones recite. With the older ones of the class you can make them feel that they are setting an example for the younger members and give them to feel that they are responsible in a great measure for the behavior of the class. Adjourned for dinner with singing No. 423 in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 3 and 4. Afternoon session opened with sing­ ing songs “My Redeemer Lives” and “Reapers Are Needed." A short bible reading by Rev.

Solo by Miss Elisabeth Wing. Paper, “The Necessity ot Tact in Sunday School Work” by Miss Maggio Hyde. She said, where Is there more need of tact than In the Sunday school work, where we have tbe interest and salvation of the child's soul at stake? We not only need to have their Inter­ ests on our minds when we meet them In class on Sunday but the week days as well. Tact in a great sense of the word means thoughtfulness for tho feelings and well being of others. The discussion on -this subject was led by Mrs. Stella Mulvany. Also dis­ cussed by Mrs. Hartom, S. J. Palmiter. E. E. Berry, Rev. McClure and several others. Many good thoughts were brought out in these discussions. One wa* that we were not all fitted to be teacher* but that each has a part In this great work and it Is our duty to find out what best we can do. Also to be successful teachers we need love, a self-denying, self-spending outpour of heart, mind and will; a love that is seeking not her own but the things of others; a love that suffereth long and is kind.

One reason she said she taught tem­ perance was because of the love *hn had for the child and knew there would come a time in their lives when they would be tempted and felt that she must warn them against intemper­ ance. for it not only ruins their bodies but their souls What we need in our Sunday schools Is not so much mor? help* but more bible, and with this ar­ mor they will be better prepared to meet temptations when they come. How to teach it—By object lessons mostly. Should always be on the look­ out for something new to present to them. Teach them that they are not safe while the saloon Is in existence. Let us train our boys and girls so they will be prepared to fight this great evil too. Song, “Stand Up for Jesus,” by con­ vention. । Paper, “How to Make a Sunday School Go," by Mrs. Wm. Vedder. To make our Sunday schools go we need more spiritual life and have some­ thing to interest all, from tbe little toe to the aged. One thing, we need more bibles in our Bunday school and to know them better. We should show to other* that we love their souls and with God's help do our best. If God be for us, who can be against us? Discussion led by Rev. McClure. We should work by plan and system. Take a hold with sacrificing love for Jesus. To exalt Jesus Christ is to make the Sunday school go. A liveawake superintendent and a lively staff of teachers are needed to make it a success. The Sunday school Is one of the greatest -works that Christ has for us. 8. J. Palmiter, Mrs. McDermid and others gave many good thoughts too In this discussion. Solo by Miss May Crapoff. . Recitation, “Glorious Battle Won" by Cora Lewis. Paper, “How to Promote Spiritual Life in the Sunday School." This was to be given by Rev. Hilburn but as he was absent, a short talk on this sub­ ject was given, led by Mr. O. Phillips. First we need to possess this spiritual life ourselves before we can teach it to others. There is much said In God's word of having the spirit. We need to be true and steadfast in onr work. Discussion by E. E. Berry and S. J. Palmiter. Recitation, “A Temperance World.” by Anna Thoma*. for them. At the very llrst teach them to love tho bible. Their habits of life are formed much at this period, so we i liouid .plant the good seed early. Discussion led by Ruth Cargo.

That this public bencfacion io highly appreciated la attested by the number of patients received every year. During the year closing July 1,1912. the total number of patients treated was 5,479. Of this number 1,595 were between twenty and thirty years of age, the next largest group being be­ tween the ages of ten and twenty years. Most of the patients are resi­ dents of Michigan, only 275 being registered from oilier states nnd coun­ tries. The total expense for the conduct of the hospitals during the year spe­ cified was >111,494.72, while the total receipts amounted to >98,170.36. Tho only charges made nre for board nnd room, which Is >1.25 per day In the ward an^>1.85 per day iu a private room. This charge Includes all ordinary cure and medicine. Ag there are usually more applicants for treatment than can be accommodated during tho regular clinic hour, many patients are treated In. the hospital wards. Those who room outside the hospital are known as "out" patients. The primary object In the establish­ ment of the University Hospital was to provide facilities for clinical In­ struction to Medical students. In treating patients in the various clinics, however, the utmost care is exercised to avoid anything thnt might effend their sensibilities. Every pre­ caution is taken to prevent the spread of contagious diseases, n special ward being devoted to such diseases. The various wards are completely equip­ ped and every facility for the scien­ tific Investigation of disease is pro­ vided. A Training School of Nurses is conducted in connection with the hospital. Supervisors and superintendents of the poor in the various counties find in the University Hospital a means for relieving indigent cases, which might otherwise be permitted to languish for want of attention. The small expense ot transportation and board is more than compensated for by relieving the state of the burden of supporting indigent sufferers who may be rendered self-supporting. Dependent children, Inmates of the State Public School at Coldwater, and the Michigan School for the Blind, the Michigan School for the Deaf, and the Michigan School for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic, or those who would be entitled by the laws ot the state to admission to such institu­ tions, also children of indigent persons who are afflicted with curable malad­ ies or deformities at birth, are reeeived for treatment at the expense of the state. The law provides that the Superintendents of the Poor may. by applying to the Probate Judge, re­ celve an order 10 send an indigent child to the hospital for examination and treatment at the state's expense. PACK E1.EVEW The state Is also required by law lo pay the expense of room and board for children with any congenital disease or deformity. Hog on Alfalfa. A Kanrns funner, who raises be­ tween 500 and <100 hogs every year, says that his bogs have turned into pork by running on alfalfa pasture with an average of about one ear ot 50m per day until the last six weeks, when they are given all the corn they will eat, in addition to alfalfa. This farmer, who seems to know his busi­ ness, says he docs not pasture, so closely, but that he Is able to get two and sometimes three cuttings per an­ num from them and these will average from three-quarter* to a little over a ton per cutting.

Arthur Sorenson, who was brought to Hastings a couple of weeks ago by Sheriff Williams on a warrant charg­ ing him with wife desertion preferred by his wife, an adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Stevens, of Wood­ land township, was brought before Justice Smith, Tuesday, for examina­ tion. Mrs. Sorenson failed to appear against him and there was no other way for the court to do but to dis­ charge him. The above te the closing history In a case which lias cost the county of Barry considerable money. The war­ rant was sworn to all right and the arrest of the guilty party should na­ turally follow. Sheriff Ritchie in whose hands the warrant was first placed was unable to locate Sorenson durir^ the closing days ot hls admin­ istration and when Sheriff Williams took hold of the office he found the warrant unserved. He got busy and after a time located his man in Chi­ cago. When the warrant was served on him he refused to come back to Michigan without requisition papers and another trip was necessary, all of wbich cost money. The taxpayers have to foot the bill which thus arises because a peeved wife rushed Into law for revenge anil at the last moment relented her hasty action against her hubby and refused to appear against him. Baseball Meeting. There will be a meeting ot those interested in baseball, Friday evening commencing at 7:30 o’clock at the city hall, up stairs.

Ball playing, besides affording cheap amusement, brings many dol­ lars to the city. It keeps the city ou the map. This city holds the champ­ ionship of Southwestern Michigan.

Last Thursday night a sad tragedy occurred in this city in which Billy Allen, a Jackson, Michigan, pugilist, went to his death following a blow on the left Jaw. The event had been advertised to take place in the Trim building and about seventy-five of the local fight fans were present to witness the affair. All of the contestants were from Jackson, although the advertising in­ dicated that they had come from a number of different places, and the bunch were doing a money making stunt in various parts of the state by pulling off the so-called boxing and wrestling mutches. It was about 9:30 when the pre­ liminary matches bad been pulled off and Billy Allen and Thurman Brady, who had been exploited as "Sailor Lawrence” of Toledo, but who was n mulatto from Jackson, stepped on the mat In the rope arena to box six rounds. When the official time keep­ er sounded the gong the men went at it in a manner entirely satisfac­ tory to the patrons of the show and it is claimed Allen had the best of the argument when Thurman caught him a hook Wow on the left jaw. The blow knocked Allen to the ropes and he fell to the floor. The referee did not have time to count thne on him, however, when he got up and prepared to resume the bat­ tle. Time was called Just as he started to step into the ring and the first round was over. When time was called for the second round, Alien started for the center of tin ring and had just reached there when he suddenly collapsed and fell yn«v conscious on the floor. He was carried to Alfred Houghtalin’s room over the Freer building and the usual restoratives applied but nothing seemed to help him and finally a doctor was summoned. Af­ ter considerable time had elapsed In ■trying to And a doctor. Dr. F. G. Sheffield was reached and hurried to .his bedside. The young man was alive when the doctor arrived but died a few minutes later. Sheriff Williams was notified of the death and at once locked the other members of the party up to await the decision of a coroner’s jury. The jury composed of Chas. Freer, Ernest Edmonds, Jas. L. Crawley. Michael Kelley, M. O. Abbott and Gil­ bert Striker were sworn in by Coron­ er Sheffield and about 9:00 o’clock Friday morning they went to the room where the body lay and Drs. Sheffield and G. W. Lowry held a post mortem examination. The autopsy revealed a small Tuptu* in the valve leading to the auricle of the heart which had pro­ duced the sudden unconsclousnena and subsequent death of the fighter. At the conclusion of the autopsy the jury went to the court house where after a little deliberation. Prosecuting Attorney Sullivan set the date for the inquest at 9:00 o’clock Monday morning, and Instructed the sheriff to hold the other members of the party until that time. They were Thurman Brady, Allen’s boxing partner; David Allen, a brother of the deceased: El­ wood Higbee, Elmer Gates and H. of a rupture of the- heart following over exertion and excitement.” No blame was attached to anyone In the matter except Allen himself who It was shown engaged In the boxing bout when be was not in physi­ cal condition to stand exertion of that kind. Warrants have been sworn out for Brady and the two young fellows who engaged in the preliminary bout on a charge of conducting a price fight, and the examination will be held next Monday. The young fellows who were engaged in the wrestling match are also held by warrants charging them with aiding in conducting a price fight Mr. Sullivan says he ex­ pects to ask the court to bind the fel­ lows over for trial on these charges. One object of this action is to get the matter before the supreme court if possible in order to determine just what constitutes a price fight. Our community has been scandalized from one end of the country to the other by this unfortunate affair and Governor Ferris has clamped the lid on in Michigan against allowing any further exhibitions of this kind. For many years there have been many who enjoyed this kind of sport and were willing to pay high prices for places of advantage to witness fights as they have been called. There has already been heard a kick from lovers of this kind of sport because of the governor’s action, and Just what the outcome will be in the matter re­ mains to be seen. There seems to be no real defined line of difference be­ tween 'boxing matches and price fights os construed by the law. If the bout is pulled off without a fa­ tality it is generally called a boxing match, but if either one meets with । death in the contest It is called prize fighting. The ‘manly art” has long been cultivated in schools -and col­ leges and has many followers as was evidenced by the fact that there were about 100 present at this contest The prisoners were arraigned be­ fore Justice Chauncey Bishop on Manday afternoon and ball fixed at six hundred and eight hundred dollars, which had not been provided as we go to press. Home From Indianapolis. Mrs. R. M. Lambie returned Friday morning from a month’s visit with her son Eber in Indianapolis, Indiana. Mrs. Lambie was in that city during the recent great flood and was an eye witness of some of the suffering and distress which followed In the wake of the dire disaster. Mr. and Mrs. Eber Lambie reside in a fiat in that city and for four days were.wlthout water and lights as a result of the dreadful catastrophe. Fortunately, however, there were two good wells in the center of the city where water could be obtained and people stood in lines waiting their turn to get a fresh drink. Little children were seen carrying water about in small palls which they sold for five cents the pall. In the markets the prices of all kinds of produce began a sky rocket proceeding and people paid fabulous prices for the necessities of life. The loss to the city of Indianapolis alone has teen estimated at 1100,000,000. Eber Lambie, who is employed in one of the large clothing stores was thre-5 days in one of the big halls where the sufferers were gathered doing nothing else but fitting clothing to those who had lost their all. Mrs. Lambie brought back a number of interesting views of the great calamity at that city which tell better than words the horrors of flood and storm. A RELIC OF DAYS GONE BY WORKMEN EMPLOYED ON NEW (TTY BANK BUILDING FIND HUMAN SKULL. Na Other Beam Left of Pioneer ol Days ef Long Ago—Was It an In­ dian or White Man Bnried There. The early history of this portion of Michigan tells of the tribes of Pottowattamlo Indiana who roamed the then virgin soil of the great county of Barry- Away back In 1840 the United States government Issued an order removing the tribe from Its haunts In these parts to the great Indian reservations beyond the Mis­ sissippi, and the haunts which hud known them so long knew them no more forever. The big chief and his dusky band found homes In the new land of the west because of the ad­ vance" of civilization. Many years have passed away since that time but today, ever and anon, traces of the denizens of those fara­ way days are found. While the force of men were digging in the excavation for the new City Bank, on Friday last, the shovel of one of the work mA turned up out of the sand far below the level of the street a human skull. No other bones were found do indi­ cate the form or shape of the early habitant and the skull Itself showed the effects of many years. A glance into the early history of this city reveals the fact that on the site where the skull was found, back In 1848, the first court house of Barry county stood. Thia would indicate that the skull had lain there long before that time. The skull was round In shape and does not reaemble the shape of moat skulls at­ tributed to the Indians, and Inasmuch as no burial ground ever existed in this part of the city, there Is a pos­ sibility that the skull to a mute evi­ dence of some crime of the past. No one can recal’ the crime if such a crime were ever committed In these parts and only the last great day will reveal the story of the lonely raster in this bed of gravel. The last lingering remnadt of the once powerful tribe has vanished from these parts. Some of the triba still live in other portions of our land but the hand of civilisation has fallen heavily on the Indians and one by one they have passed to the great hunting ground until today they are an almost extinguished race.

Amateur. an interesting report of the receipts and expenditures for the past season’s course and although more was paid for the entertainments than in most yean there was a balance left of somo twenty-six dollars. The civic improvement committee waa instructed to have fresh curtains placed in the rest room at the court house. The business meeting was followed by an interesting program which was arranged as an afternoon with Mich­ igan poets, Mrs. M. E. Osborne being hostess. Roll call was answered with the name of a favorite poem. Miss Fet­ ter with two grades of the critic room sang a delightful bird song and re­ sponded to an encore. The three papers gave account ol the lives and works of Will Carleton, Ben King and Julia A. Moore. Mrs. Bates had the first of these sketches and at its close Mies Weissert read three of the best of Carleton's poems, two from the Farm Ballads and one from the City Ballads which were very humorous. Mrs. Burch reviewed the life of Bea King, our musical, poetical genius, who grew from an odd boy into a somewhat pessimistic although talented man, a born mimic and an in­ spired poet. Miss Weissert followed Mrs. Burch with a number of readings from Ben King’s book of verse. Mrs. Sheffield dealt with the lite and poems of Julia A. Moore who his been called the ’sweet singer of Michigan.” Mrs. Moore was an ordinary and a plain woman who wrote verses for her own amusement and she herself mourns that she was drawn into the public notice where all the faults of her poet­ ry were mercilessly brought to light. It is undoubtedly true that some of the poems are good among those written during the war times, but it is also true that many of them deal with sub­ jects too personal to cause anything but merriment when read now. Mrs. Sheffield read several of these jmems. The history lesson was given by Mrs. William Stebbins. Beginning with Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie in 1813 the history of Mich­ igan was carried through the defeat of Proctor and Tecumseh and the un­ successful attempt to regain Fort Mackinac. The appointment of Gen­ eral Casa as governor of Michigan waa a fortunate event- He was a man of great courage and large experience of pioneer life, well suited to guide the destinies of Michigan as he did through the better part of her terri­ torial existence, and dealing with many troublesome situations, such as the false report of the governor gen­ eral of Ohio. This report said that there was not in this territory one acre in one hundred, if there was one in one thousand, which would admit of cultivation, and cost us the two million acres of military bounty land which congress had given us. It also became widely understood through this report that this territory was boggy and marshy, no fit place to set­ tle In, and so the tide of homeseekers turned away from Michigan and set­ tled farther west and south. At last through the effort of Governor Cass and others territorial roads were built, land offices opened, the printing press encouraged and when finally the Erie canal was completed and ■steamships became common on the great lakes we began to see prosperity In the near future. The hour for adjourning club hav­ ing passed Mrs. Stebbins touched only lightly on the Toledo war period and the lesson at the next meeting will take up this part of our history and the giving up of the Toledo strip for which we received the whole of the upper peninsula. mum BUSHES!iMSWCI HASTINGS BIG BOOR IS STILL BOOMING WITH A CAPITAL R, Plans Rave Brea Completed far Sev­ eral New Business Weeks in This City and Mere Are Betag Tatted. Mrs. bt H. Woodruff, of Brooklyn, N. Y., a former resident of this city, has completed arrangements for the construction of a modern fire proof garage building on the corner of Jef­ ferson and Court streets. The con­ tract has been let to Messrs. Jesse and Edward Downs and the work of demolishing the old building will bo begun within a week. This building will be a one story building of rad brick with a self supporting roof, nnd cement floor. It will be 44x92, and will be so constructed that a second story can be placed on the building at any time in the future when so de­ sired. The building will cost in the neighborhood of 83,000 and will have an office In front and a work room in the rear. W. A. Hall also has the building fever and with the announcement of a brick building -in such close con­ junction with hhn, he says that bo wilt build a two story building on the sight of his present building in the near future. His building will be a vitrified brick front- and a very cred­ itable addition to Jefferson street Alderman John Dawson has also completed plans for building a fine vaudette building on his lot next to the post office, and adjoining the building now occupied by Mr. Palmer. Only a few minor details have yet to be decided upon and the work of con­ struction will be rushed rapidly to completion. We are informed that the new building will be a modem vaudette building and that a lease baa already been signed by Mr. Palmer for a term of years. Quite a number of new dwellings are being built in various parts of the city and there is a demand for more every day. The future of our enter­ prising city will depend largely upon Its ability to house those who desire to cast their lot in our midst Let everyone build a house or two who can. i Card ef Thanks.

Gradlag Seed Cora, Selecting the ears to be planted by means of the germination test is not all that can be done to increase the yield of coni. The corn should be graded carefully before going into the planter hopper. This may be done pretty largely by shelling off the butts and tips. This is usually done but seldom with this object In view. It Is commonly thought that the small ■ round kernels at the tip and the Ir­ regular kernels at the butt would not produce good corn. It has been proven beyond a doubt that this theory is wrong. The only reason for shelling off the ends Is to secure uni­ formity In kernels, thereby making It possible for the planter to drop more regularly. However, the object In view is of little consequence. The point to remember is that n perfect stand can not be secured with seed possessing a mixture of every varia­ tion in size and shape of kernel. It Is much the better .practice to shell en­ tirely by hand, as many kernels are often cracked when the sheller Is used. Besides, hand shelling gives a better opportunity to pick out the di­ seased or immature kernels and dis­ card them. This may seem like un­ due precaution, but is it not easier than walking over the field replant­ ing with a hoe or punch planter?

Our women folks say we need let­ tuce because it Is good for our In­ sides. They also seek to force upon us dandelions, spinach, beet tops and all manner of greens, using the same weak-kneed reason. Now whnt we want to know is this: If we admit that green foods are good for us, which .wo do for tbe sake of argument only, what's the reason? They contain about 99 per cent wa­ ter. which comes too expensive in this form, and the rest Is mostly just plain green color. There's a trace ot fiber and a trace at starch, a little mineral food and that's all. Then where is the virtue? One cannot very well say, but it’s a proven fact, that a moderate amount of green food acts as an appetizer, keeps tho digestion good and tho whole works running smooth*. So it Is with the hens, whoso appe­ tite and tastes come closer to that of the human being than any other do­ mestic beast, except the pig. She cats grain, whole or ground, cooked meat or raw. vegetables of all kinds In all shapes, green food, salt, charcoal and lime, ana she drinks wbat we do, out­ side of intoxicants.

Many practical and valuable Ideas were advanced by Prof. French, all going to show what poa*lbllitiea for good are represented In such an organisation of Christian men ns the one he was addressing. He dwelt particularly and with much fpree upon the work of the schools, and while not presuming to criticise or condemn he plead for the practical side of education, the making of ^eat­ er effort to prepare the boys aad girls of our high school, not merely for the college and the learned profeoalcns, bat for the application of their knowl­ edge to farming and the applied sciences. The vocational side of edu­ cation is capable of great practical value. The teaching of agriculture in our schools is to be commended and encouraged. The professor urged the Brotherhood men to take bold ot every good wort in the community and church and ad­ vised them to attend the Sunday school as well as the church services. Men do not always realise what an in­ fluence they exert over boys. , The chores glee club, under the leadership of C. G. Maywood, rendered a selection which was followed by an encore.

Fsr the Rtflht a* Wa Understand tWWjbt. Call the Bluff. Several stories. are floating about that factories of goods affected by the reduction of the tariff are about to be dismantled and moved to Germany “where industries are not interfered with." This bluff may be expected to be worked right along for some time, with the hope it may scare the demo­ crat* who will be responsible for the revision of the tariff. Our advice to President Wilson and the congress 1* to call the bluff. So long a* there Is demand for good*, and money to pay for them, factories will not pull up and move, or shut down. There are 100,000.000 people of the United States who must be fetf and clothed every day. The bread stuffs are but slightly in advance of consumption, and ex-jort* of the same have already fallen below that of manufactures. Meats are also growing scarce and high, and tbe export is almost nothing in com­ parison with funner year*. The pro­ duction of wool is 40 per cent les* than requirements and rags and cot­ ton. make up the deficit. In seven years the people have paid an average of over 1120,000,000 a year for tariff on sugar. We import tea* than one-half of the sugar we use, tut we pay ju*t as much for do­ mestic grown and refined sugar as for the imported article. Call the bluff of tariff robber* and let the people have the benefit of low­ j er prices. ■ Arter ate Bird Bay.

Foostry has become a science, game life I* made the subject of pro­ tective laws, and there I* evidence on al] sides that we Americana of this day are waking up to tbe folly of wastefulness and destruction and to tbe neceasity of conservation. There to no .better place to teach aoanervation and the promotion of nature** productiveness than the public school*. Hence It 1* that a day to set apart for the planting of tree* by the school children and the study of bird*. If the rising generacan be taught the value of tree planting and cultivation and the im­ portance of protecting bird Hfe, both from an economical and a humane standpoint, very much will be ac­ complished towards overcoming the evil consequences of past wastefulMM, destructiveness and greed. Mr. ataMO*, ML t Mr. Gleaner's eugenics bill, which passed the bouse some time ago. has teen laid on the senate table, and there is no likelihood that It wilt get any further this session. No doubt this action of tbe state senate will be * disappointment to Mr. Glasner and his supporters who have worked so earnestly and enthusiastically for this Measure. The purpose of the bill was admirable, the motives ot its advo­ cate* were commendable. But the disagreeable fhet remains that the world is not yet quite educated up to that ideal condition where the in­ exorable laws of the moral world are recognized at their true meaning. Tbe time will come when the laws of eugenics will be generally under­ stood and. to a large extent, en­ forced. Mr. Glasner will have the thought to console him that his agitation of the subject will do much toward* di­ recting public opinion ' towards a vitally important subject and paving the way for the remedial legislation that is bound to come sooner or later. He could hardly expect to do much raore than this In the present state of the public mind. Is true the three-eighths of one per cent, reduction on sugar will not he a hardship on the beet sugar interests. Beet sugar stock gamblers took their chances, the same as the wheat, wool or cotton gamblers do. and if they are the losers by it no one but themselves are to blame for loss. The fact that betting on products does Interfere with the raising of the crops, is as applicable to beet factory slocks, as to any other of Wall Street or grain pits of the world. Wc cannot see why the republican wardens of the several state penal Institutions should be kept In office; nor why clerks Id the state offices should be retained when they use every occasion to sneer nt tbe demo­ crats who are in Lansing by voice of their constituency and the people of Michigan. Efficiency is the first re­ quirement, gentlemanly respect for others Is the first consideration. There are democrats as able to fill every appointive and clerical office as any now occupying these positions, and the people ot Michigan respective of party are paying the bills. It is computed that wool costs an average of 19 cents a pound to the producer in Michigan. Thia is based on the wool alone, the lamb* ot a. well cared for flock will at least equal three-fourth* of the number of sheep. They will about pay for tbe keeping of the flock, leaving tha wool a clear profit on the investment. Year* ago, when the writer knew more about farming than at present: ..Whistling girls and Merino sheep Were the best things a farmer could keep." The differences or misunderstand­ ing* between Bryan and Champ Clark have been ironed; they are friends. They will work together; along with Wilson they will work to make the democratic administration a success. From the published statements of the two men there wa* no difference In sentiment, they were democrats of the progressive stripe, Clark or Bryan In 1916 looks good to u*. As usual the rush of business at the closing of a legislative session, pre­ cludes careful consideration of im­ portant measures. The governor should use the veto pen oo all shady enactments. The people will suffer less from no legislation, than from hasty, Ill-considered enactments. Lawyers predominate In Congress 2M in the House and 74 In the Senate.

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY In Belsetion of Animal* Real Test G Must Be With Beales and Re­ liable Babcock Tester. Manly Clothes For Prof. W. J. Kennedy of the low* station recommends tbe toilowing In reference to tbe selection of breeding stock for tbe dairy: In selecting dairy cattle the real test must be the scale* and the Bab­ cock tester. The cow is a machine to convert food Into milk; thus sbe must have a large middle and a strong con­ stitution to insure the beet results. Sbe must also have * large odder, The Little Men Every boy likes to have his clothes made as mannish in appearance as possible.

The neck . should be rather long and lean in ap­ pearance. Tbe shoulders pointed ami the backbone rather prominent. The ■kin should be loose and soft to the touch. In selecting herd bull* either mature animal* which have already demonstrated their worth as sires or younger animals from high-testing dams and sires only should be used. The best and surest results will al­ ways follow the use ot a mature sire record*. A good dairy bull should be kept until he i* twelve or fifteen year* old; In fact, a* long as be 1* a sure sire. Real good sire* are ao rare that when we do find one be should die only of old age. All breeder* of dairy cattle should secure yearly teats on each and every cow in the herd.

TREES LIVE FOR CENTURIES Liming Bandy Boll*. Lime may improve loose sandy soils by making them more compact and more retentive of moisture. For this purpose some form of carbonate of lime is usually recommended, and In much smaller quantities than for clay soils. Clay soils will stand more lime than sandy soils. Tbe improvement of sandy soils will often be much greater if the lime is applied to a green crop turned under. Lime hastens the conversion of tbe vegetable matter into humus, and thia with tbe lime helps to fill the open spaces between the sand grains. It to claimed by those who have given much attention to light sandy soils that there are no other types of soils that will respond quite so readily to lining, provided the necessary vege­ table matter to supplied In tbe form of a green cover crop turned under. Windows In Poultry Houses. Put the windows In the poultry houses low down to tbe floor, so that the hens will get the benefit of the light and sunshine when scratching for their feed. Tbe trouble with windows set high up is that they let the sunshine on the perches when the hens are on the floor scratching, and when they are on tho roost the sun doesn't shine, so there is no equilibrium in such plans. Requirements for Egg Production. Tho secrets of egg production con­ sist of a good supply of grit, good health, plenty of exercise, pure food, green food, fresh «ater, cut clover hay and green cut bono, freedom । from lice, regularlity in feeding, cool I bouses In summer and warm ones in I winter, and breeding only from the | beat laying stock. i. g|x Thousand Years Is th* A| ~ . and- There on th* Canary Islands, Are Numerous Other*. -: Knowing that some trees have reached tbe age of several thousand years, it is surprising that so many of our shade tree* should die so young.

Real Uniformity. Colonel G-------is a fine commander, but not a musician. He sent for tho chief musician of his regimental band one day and delivered this scathing criticism: "I notice a lack of uniformity about the band which must be regulated. Yesterday morning they were out on parade, and the largest man in the band was playing a little bit of an in­ strument-flute or something of the kind—and you had the big drum played by a small man. That sort of thing doesn't look well, and must be attended to. I want the small men to play small instruments, and the big man the big instruments.

For teaching the geography of the United States In the public schools and colleges a strong effort is being made by the United States Geological Survey to foster the use of the gov­ ernment topographic maps. These maps contain so many details of local Interest, showing even the school houses and farm houses as well ns every wagon road, with which of course the school children are fami­ liar, that it Is said to be an easy mat­ ter for teachers to enlist the interest of the pupils in this new type of school map. From an understanding of the particular maps representing their own localities it is but a suc­ cession of short steps to lead the pupils to an appreciation of the dif­ ferent types of country portrayed on maps of other sections of the United States. Most of the standard atlas sheets of the Geological Survey of recent issue are printed on the scale of 1 mile to 1 inch, a scale which shows the physical features of the country In very Interesting detail. With these maps the pupils can de­ termine the altitude of their homes and the steepness of hills and moun­ tains, estimate tbe grade of wagon roads, work out simple engineering problems such as the drainage of swamps, select dam s’tes for the con­ struction of reservoirs to supply water to Imaginary towns or for irri­ gation, lay out Imaginary trolley or railroad tines or canals along the most feasible routes, establish look­ out and signal stations on high points for the control of forest fires, and plan many other similar activities. The Geological Survey has pub­ lished 2,200 topographical atlas sheets, covering about 40 per cent, of the United States, and on receipt of S3 from any teacher It will supply 50 dif­ ferent maps selected with special reference to the particular require­ ments of the class it is proposed to Instruct in this new kind of geo­ graphic study. This selection will in­ clude, besides the map covering the area where the school is situated (provided such a map is published), other maps showing all the physio­ graphic forms to be found in the United States seacoast areas, hilly country, high and precipitous moun­ tain country, swampy areas, regions of innumerable lakes, areas showing dense forests, areas with woodlands Interspersed with many streams, lakes, and other natural features. If less than 50 maps are desired, a special selection of a' number will be made on request and furnished at the retail rate of 10 cents a copy. . Most of these maps, each of which on the 1­ mile scale covers about 22S square miles, or 150,000 acres, have been made at a cost for surveying and en­ graving of 33,500 to 30,000 each, and the wholesale price of 0 cents apiece covers only about the coot of paper and printing. If tbe areas were sur­ veyed and the maps published by a' jhommerclal concern, these maps would need to be sold for not leas than 32 to 33 each. Tbe survey also sells an excellent wall map about 4 by 6 feet, unmounted (in three sec­ tions). for 30 cents. This may be in­ cluded In any wholesale order as part of the 33. Applications and remit­ tances should be made to the Director of tbe United States Geological Sur­ vey, Washington, D. C., who will promptly fill all orders. , Acting on the belief that the fly is 'the most dangerous wild animal on earth,” local anti-tuberculosis socie­ ties, women’s clubs and similar organ­ isations In Michigan are engaging in an anti^fly campaign. The state asso­ ciation is backing up the movement and Is sending out helpful literature op this subject. In one bulletin the state association gives the following reasons for conducting this campaign. Because: The house fly Is an important factor in the transmission of disease germs, including typhoid, tuberculosis, chol’era, dysentery and other germ dis­ eases. The house fly is not a mere nuisance but a positive enemy to life and health. It is economy from the standpoint of health, wealth and comfort Flies are the badge of dirt and filth —present on your own or your neigh­ bor's premises. It is not difficult to greatly reduce •the number of flies or to exterminate the fly. If we clean up all unsanitary places and keep tlrem clean, we will have no flies. The average number of bacteria which one fly may carry is estimated, at 1,250,000. Now is the time to begin the fight— before breeding begins. The bulletin mentioned above con­ tains articles on the life history of th j fly, how It Is dangerous, how to pre­ vent flies from breeding, how to kill files, gives a model fly ordinance and other interesting information,.

The prompt PAGE ELEVEN been proven by investigations made In Columbus by the animal husbandry students of the college of agriculture, Ohio state university. These Investigations bare been car­ ried on for several years, over 1,000 head of horses being Included- It was found thst the concerns with the poor­ est accommodations for their horses, and where the least care waa given, were paying out largest amount for feed. The average cost of keeping horses in Columbus is 40.1 cents a day, and contrary to popular belief heavy ex­ press horses are fed for nearly two and one-half cents leas than light driving horses. The lowest cost was $89.®2 per year in the case of an un­ derfed animal, and the highest cost was $329.02, a stallion, being fitted for show. One noticeable fact waa the ab­ sence of variety In the ration, the prin­ ciple roughage being timothy hay the year round, and it was common to find this given in excess. Corn and oats constituted the principal grains fed. In one instance a saving of $11.15 per animal, or a yearly saving of $669, was brought about by tbe use of four pounds of oat straw In place of a similar amount ot hay. inga, pleasantly surprised Mrs. Alvin Phillips and Miss Susie, last Wed­ nesday.

Well, if she was such a little fool as to play with fire. . . . Stevens looked up to see his book­ keeper, Henry Austin, standing at the door of his private office. The young fellow had been In his employment some two years; he worked, for a pit­ tance of forty dollars a month, in the dimly lighted stock room at the op­ posite end of the floor. He looked at Btevens in an imploring manner that irritated the manufacturer. “Well, Austin, what ts it?*' ha asked. “I want to give you a week’s notice to leave, Mr. Stevens," answered tbe young fellow, coming forward, hte hat in Ma band. “So you’re going to desert the ship, ehr sneered Stevens. *Why?

Stevens leaned back In his chair and lit a cigar. He was wondering just how much his pretty stenographer cared for him and how much was due to the fact that the Stevens’ Protection company netted him a clear forty thousand dollars a year. Six months before, whan she had come to work for him Inroer first position, sbe had been a prim, Innocent-eyed country girl of whom he had been almost afraid. Somehow she reminded him of Wry, his wife, who had left him not long before-when she had discovered certain matters In his life. Yet he had really loved Mary. Perhaps If he had gone humbly to ber. . . He pufted out a cloud of smoke. Well, for all his money he was down and out so far as decwit friendships were con­ cerned.

And ROMAN ROAD BUILT TO LAST Parte of Magnificent Marble-Paved Highway Across Macedonia Are Still Pasoable as In Daye Past. We do not know how Neapolis look­ ed in Paul’s time, though It must have been a place of some considerable im­ portance, since tbe great Egnatlan Way. a splendid road paved with mar­ ble, and which stretched all the way from Rome to this outermost boun­ dary of Macedonia, ended here. This road, traversing tie whole southern part of Italy, from the Mediterranean to Brindisi on the Adriatic, began again after the interruption of the Adriatic at Duraxso; then It went across the breadth of Macedonia to Salonlca, ApoRonla. Amphipoils. Phil­ ippi and Neapolla. With all oar mod­ ern pride in road building, since time began there has perhaps never been constructed such a magnificent high­ way as this. After passing some large modern to­ bacco warehouses and some fine bomeo belonging to the tobacco magnates, we camo to the edge of tbo city and faced a tremendous roeb hill, seemingly composed of solid granite, on which not a blade of grass or the smallest shrub could find lodgment. Black and forbidding is this groat mass of rock, like the “Mack hills'* of Montenegro. Beside the modem road, and not more than fifty yards away In many places, the old Roman road was plainly visl- be impassable, and yet In some small stretches It Is as smooth and as well paved as In the ancient days, though I saw none of the marble slabs with which ft Is said to bare been covered. I descended from our ancient chariot and walked upon some of these stones of tbe old road.—Christian Herald. “Bo that’s the trouble, eh," said Stevens, nodding uuderstandlngly. "Yon think I’ve cut you out in her affections, eh? Why, didn’t you know that Fm married?" “Yes, damn you," shouted Austin. "That's jut where the trouble Hee.

"No you won’t, Austin." said Btevens, with sudden emphasis. “Now Do you think that if I raised you to— not to be satisfied with everything and to keep her at home to look after your bouse, and to try to make some­ thing of yourself?" Austin stared at him, hte lips slight­ ly parted, astounded by this unex­ pected tarn. “My son," said the manufacturer, “you blame me—but that's where you’re wrong. This Is a fighting world —It Isn’t a world where we whine for justice and get it. Maybe I’ve been too ranch of a wolf and too little of a lamb, but rm going to do tho square thing for once. Here's your chance— wlU you take ItF “Ton bet I will," answered the book- Btevens nodded and put on his hat He went out humming. Ho saw what Austin saw, that ho was responsible for having put the poison of ambition into Miss Keith's mind; but he knew also that it required its drastic anti­ dote, to humble her. He took a street car up to the rendezvous and waited inside tbe hotel. The hands of the clock were just .upon the hour when he saw "bls steno­ grapher’s trim figure pass slowly be­ fore the revolving glass door, and, throwing bls cigar, be went outside. "Good evening, Miss Keith," he said, raising his hat "Waiting to see met' The girl recoiled a little and looked at him, an angry flush reddening her cheeks.

I'm going to get a business woman for my stenographer next time, and not your kind." He turned and left her, speechless with indignation. Then, because the medicine sickened the giver as well as the recipient, he went back into tbe hotel and sat for a long lime in the smoking room. At last he rose, and, with a sudden determination, went toward the door. His features had softened out of their habitual hard lines. “I wonder," he said meditatively, “I wonder if Mary would give mo an­ other chance?" (Cooyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.)

Havana and Its interesting Vi­ cinity Were 'Visited. St Cloud, Florida, .March 8, 1913. I had a splendid trip to Colon on tbe steamship Evangeline and from there to Panama through a rough and mountainous, but beautiful and pic­ turesque country with an exceeding­ ly rich and fertile soil where it can be cultivated, growing all kinds of tropical fruits and plants In great abundance, with small amount of labor,—a good place for u young man to to to make a home. Tbe climate Is all that could be desired. Kingston with its beautiful bays and broad and fertile valleys with their background of mountain ranges, their background of mountain ranges blending with the sky, it would bn tolly for me to try to describe it. It is more than grand or beautiful and must be seen to be known. We had a rather rough sea while crossing the Caribbean, tbe ship rolling and pitch­ ing badly. Most of the passengers were more or less seasick except me. I did not have the least touch of it, but ate my three meals a day right ;l along. We reached Havana Feb’y 1st where I spent a week very pleasantly. It Is a queer city, the Central and Inida parks are pleasant place* to rest and are connected by the Prado with a drive each side of It that extends nearly the length of the city and make* a fine drive. The most of the other street* are very narrow, scant 20 feet including a sidewalk 2 feet wide on each aide, and a hen a xttect car meets or passes a cart there Is no room to spare, and those on the walk mast keep close to the wa’I or the tub* of the cart will strike t.iem. When two persons meet or pass euclioiher one w.tst step down a fool or fhare into the street or both must turn sideways, and where one is fat that will not work. The city la'built very compactly, there being no space between the buildings in a square, the only opening* befog the doors and windows, the latter being cov­ ered with iron bars or grating, those of the hotels and residences being very fine and adding much to their looks. While there I took a trip to Matanxas and saw immense fields of sisal, tobacco and pineapple, bananas and orange grove* on the way, also large field* of sugar cane. At Matanxas I went through the cathedral which was fine, also a church said to be an exact copy of a church in Ban Domingo, Spain. The Interior la fine, especially the altar which was deco­ rated with flower* of every color and every hue and shade of every color and from the else of a dahlia or-large double rose down to the smallest flower* and all Including leaves were said to be made entirely of sea shells. It wan most beautiful. There were paintings by the old masters hanging on the walls but they could not hold a candle to the fine natural scenery one can look upon in almost any part of Cuba which Is truly a gem of the seas I think. Sendees are held In | this church (as in the one In Spain) only one day In the year, the 4th of August I think. I also visited the Bellamar Caves, about nine miles distant. They are IM feet deep and 1% miles long, are lighted by electricity and for a bole tn the ground are beautiful beyond my power* of description. On my re­ turn to Havana I walked out to Moro Castle where I got a fine view of the bay and city, saw where the Maine was sunk, .went through the castle and old fort*. On returning I passed a large building of stone that has a small opening in the wall, on one side closed by a wicket gate, where any unmarried woman who is so un­ fortunate as to give birth to a child may place it, close the gate and no questions asked or answered. The infant Is given the best of care and kept until H can be placed in some good family. j spent five weeks in Cuba, leaving on the Sth of March, but I have writ­ ten all I can at present.

Folk, who was on the Chautauqua program here two years ago, will again be in Hastings. Big Interest is being taken all along the line of the Redpnth Chautauqua* this season In the fact that he is to speak upon the subject. "The Fight for n State." In some of the cities he is to visit, arrangements are already being made for him also to address the Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon, and In other places twenty-five to thir­ ty automobiles will meet him at the train. Gov. Folk is one of our greatest pub­ lic men. The state of Missouri, it will be recalled, endorsed him as their candidate for the presidency before the Baltimore convention. His own fight for his state, where he cleaned out the race .track gamblers and oth­ erwise wrought reforms against most strenuous odds. Is well known. Paving Works Start*. The preliminary work in connection with the laying of the mile and oneeighth of new pavement Is now under way. The surveyors are laying out the grade stakes, locating catch bas­ ins and building the same and It looks as though the work of laying- pave­ ment would soon be in actual process. CITY NOW OWNS MODERN ROLLER AFTEHCONSIDEBING MANY KINDS OF ROAD ROLLERS COUNCIL . HAM BOUGHT ONE. llnffalo-FitlM Machine, Recommended By Committee, Was Taken nt Price of KM After several weeks of discussion. Investigation, deliberation and junket­ ing, the common council bus bought a steam roller. Feeling the absolute necessity of having a modern, up-to-date outfit for doing the large amount of street work the city is confronted with, a special committee was appointed some time ago. consisting of Aldermen Hobbs, Dawson and Wooton and City Engin­ eer Tobias, to make thorough investi­ gation and report their conclusions to the council. Thia committee went at their task very thoroughly. They vis­ ited Port Huron and looked over the I New York roller; to Jackson and Lansing to see the Kelley-Springfield Eteam and gasoline rollers, they also investigated the Case at Lansing; the Huber at Marion, O.; the Peerless at Toledo; the Austin at Chicago; the International at Grand Rapids; the Monarch at Fort Wayne; and the Buf­ falo-Pitt* at Sebewaing. Blds were asked from these differ­ ent manufacturers and these were opened and considered by the council lost Friday night. Representatives of the different machines were on hand and the competition was so keen as to develop considerable bitterness on the part of some of them. The special committee, however, settled the matter practically, by re­ porting that the Buffalo-Pitts Stand­ ard Double Cylinder road roller best meets the requirements of the city In price and quality, and recommending the purchase of the same. The report! was unanimous. Its reading brought out protests from some of the other agents. None of them. It seems, bad offered to take the city’s old roller in the trade except the Buffalo-Pitta man and this was made the ground of their complaint They oald it wasn’t fair. However, the council was more concerned In getting a good machine at a satisfactory bargain than in pleasing these agents, and, at an ad­ journed meeting Monday night, the Buffalo-Pitts Offer was accepted. The price paid was >2,850, the company taking the old roller at a good price. There can be Uttle doubt that Xjie council has acted wisely in buying the Buffalo-Pitts roller. The company that makes these machines Is a very large one and has the reputation of building a complete, durable and sat­ isfactory roller. It has a 22% horse power engine and can be used not only as a road roller but as a traction power to haul loads of gravel, run a stone crusher, etc. The roller has been ordered and Is expected to be here, ready for service in about a week. Old Ofikerw Re-appolnted. Mayor Osborn submitted his ap­ pointments at the last meeting of the council and they were confirmed. They are as follows: Marshal, Wm. Hirst; night police, Samuel Anderson; city attorney, Thomas Sullivan; city ■ slcian. Dr. H. A. Barber; fire warde... A. A. WllUnont; chief of fire depart­ ment. H. A.

Rarion of Detroit Gives the Besail of His Research In the Musty Records of the Past. The question of the date when Mich­ igan was first discovered has been up for discussion for a long time, without satisfaction as to the correctness of dates. C. M. Burton of Detroit, broth­ er of our fellow townsman, E. A. Bur­ ton, who has a penchant for digging up musty records and traditions gives undoubtedly the best data obtainable concerning the visit* of any explorer. According to Mr. Burton the name of the first explorer was Jean NicoleL The letter further states, in part a3 follows: It seems quite evident that Cham­ plain In 1615 came to the Georgian Bay. I passed over the same route that he look, and his description of the places is* the same os exists to­ day. ' It does not appear, however, that he crossed the lake or bay. I do not find any evidence that any one crossed earlier than 1634, when Jean Nicolet went to the Georgian bay. M. Camp­ bell In bls history say* that Cham­ plain must have followed the mlsslonary. Mr. Campbell certainly never in­ vestigated the matter at all, neither did Mr. Parkman, for they both refer to the missionaries as if they had pre­ ceded Champlain. Fr. Tanquay made a very carefully prepared list of the missionaries in a book called “Repertoire General dri Clerge Canadien,'* and you will find In that book, under tbe head of Le­ Caron, page 28, the history of that priest. There Is a lot of his history that Is not given there. LeCaron and Champlain were to­ gether when they started for the west in 1615. Something detained Cham­ plain and LeCaron went ahead alone and reached the Georgian bay before Champlain got there. It does not ap­ pear that he went any farther than the bay, but stayed at French River, probably near the present French Riv­ er village, until Champlain came up. He was the first man of whom we have any knowledge that reached that place. I think you may set it down that the first real information or data, is 1634 of visiting Michigan. There were certainly no mission­ aries. In tbe west before that time. At the time that Mr. Parkman thinks tbe missionaries had come to the west, there were only seven priest* in all French North America, and every one of them wa* in Arcadia, except Le­ Caron. St. Ignace was founded in 1670, and Ste. Marie was founded in 1640. In 1050 there was a map printed in Paris showing Michigan and Green Bay, so that tbe country must have been some­ what known two or three years before that map was made. Farewell Party. Saturday evening over fifty neigh­ bors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Romnnzo Brown gave them a farewell party at their home on the State road as they are moving to another farm. Music and games were tbe feature of tbe evening. After the serving of ice cream and cake, Mr. Frank Sherman with a nice Uttle speech, in behalf of the company presented Mrs. Brown with a beauti­ ful berry spoon and Mr. Brown with a gold tie set, after which they both arose and thanked the company very heartily for the same. At a late hour they departed for their various homes saying that they had had a very pleasant evening and' that they would not forget Mr. and Mrs. Brown even if they do live farther away. Their Sixtieth Annirersary. The home of Mr. and Mrs. David Wolcott nt 735 North Broadway was the scene of a very pleasant gathering on Monday afternoon, April 28, when n number of highly prized friends dropped in to help them celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Few people travel life's voyage to­ gether for sixty years and when a worthy couple have met tbe joy* and sorrows of life together for so many years it Is but right that the occasion be considered a festive one and that the friends gather with them in happy recognition of such an event The afternoon was enlivened by re­ hearsing pleasant memories of that wedding of long ago and the reunion of friends who have known each other for many years. An excellent dinner and beautiful Howers lent their full quota to the event nnd all who were present departed with n fervent wish that Mr. and Mrs. Wolcott might enjoy many more pleasant anniversaries of the day. A Paying Trannactinn in Hnhtdn*. W. R. Harper of Middleville, secre­ tary of the state Holstein-Friesian association, and a large breeder of the Holsteln-Frlesian cattle, recently act­ ed as clerk in the sale of a large herd of these animals at Battle Creek. Mr. Harper handed us a little statement concerning this sale, which he bad had printed, and as it may prove of soma value to our farmer readers, as show­ ing what can be done with high grade cattle, we reproduce the main part of the article, for their benefit It Is as follows: Four years ago this spring T. W. Sprague of Battle Creek, Mich., decid­ ed to invest In a 'herd of registered Holsteln-Frlesian cattle With this end in view he went to New York and pur­ chased a yearling bull for >600 and ten young cows, yearling heifer* and heifer calves. During the following year be purchased four more young cows and heifers of good breeding, making a foundation herd of 14 fe­ males and the yearling herd bull. The 15 head cost Mr. Sprague jut a little less than >4,000. T. W. Sprague soon became well known among Michigan Holstein breeders and his Wolverine stock farm, with Its well kept herd of Holiteins, was often visited by buyers looking for high class cattle. During the past three yean Mr. Sprague has sold over >3.000 worth of females and young bulla which paid over 30 per cent interest on the >4,000 Invest­ ment. ' Owing to the. failing health of Mrs. Sprague. Mr. Sprague was forced to sell out his stock farm and the Wol­ verine Holstein herd, and on Wednes­ day, April 2, this high cis* herd was dispersed, E. M. Hastings of Lacona, N. Y„ acting as sale manager; CoL B. V. Kelley of Syracuse, N. Y., auction­ eer, and W. R. Harper of Middleville, MWi„ as clerk. Two herd bulls, nine young bull calves and twenty-nine cows, heifers and heifer calves were sold for an av­ erage price of 1380.37 per head. The forty head sold for >14,415.00, bringing >10,415.00 more than the original cost of the herd. Thus the >4.000 Invested less than four years-ago has paid over 20 per cent interest In cattle sold, be­ sides the milk and butter product of the cows and the >4,000 capital In­ vested has Increased to >14,415 cash. What has been accomplished by Mr. Sprague with Holstein cattle can be done by any farmer who will buy good quality cattle for a foundation herd and feed and care for his cattle prop­ erly and give every purchaser a square deal. Losk Ont tor Then*. From exchanges we learn that gyp­ sies are again perambulating the state. In some places they are making a positive nuisance of themselves. Their thieving exploits are usually in rural sections. As soon as they appear, no­ tify the sheriff and order them to movp on. Tbe “scare*1 given a gang of these undesirables last year, rid the county of them In one day, and as they know they are law violators it takes but lit­ tle bluff to “shew” them off. Do not let the women Into the bouse for they are expert thieves, usually in pairs, end while one Is “telling your for­ tune" the other will be stealing any­ thing of value they can hide. Use the shotgun if necessary. Coaneil Committees. yjayor Osborn has appointed the fol­ lowing standing committees for the year 1913-1914. Public improvements—Hilton, Tit­ man, Lunn, Dawson.

Same of the Blstery *f This Aieknt Piece ef Ordauee A* TsM By Its The historic old cannon, which for so many years has -had a place on the lawn of the Nathan Barlow homestead has been donated to the city with an obligation on the part of the city to have it mounted on a cement founda­ tion in the court house square. The history of tbe old fashioned gun is probably more tradition than of record. Tbe history as repeated to the writer by Nathan and William Barlow, the latter being more familiar with the circumstances, is to the effect that during tbe Revolutionary war there were several privateer* fitted out In New York harbor, and the old cannon was a part of one vessel's antfit. These privateers were merchant vessel* whose owner* were given let­ ters of Marque. These vessels were warring on the English merchant ships, which were conveying mu­ nition* of war for the red coats, and several valuable cargoes, as history goes, were captured and confiscated. By treachery the British admiral learned that New York harbor had several of these vessels outfitted and they were in tbe harbor awaiting the departure of the enemy's squadron, so that they might sail out. (There were no steam vessels then.) and capture more, prize*. The Britisher* con­ cluded they would enter the harbor and destroy tbe “American men of war." And according to tradition the order was given to the aeueral vessels to weigh anchor, at very early dawn and move up the harbor with deck* cleared for action. While treachery bad betrayed the presence of tbe pa­ triots’ warships, it also served these patriot* a good turn by informing them of the orders to the fleet. The ‘boys" got busy and when morning dawned toe “war vessel*’’ were'Inno­ cent merchant vessel* lying at anchor and not a vestige of war material could be found. This cannon along with all other war trapping* was ly­ ing tn the bottom of the bay, where it lay for nearly a century, when in dredging tbe harbor it was brought to the surface, dumped on the wharf, where It lay for a time, and was final­ ly bought at the price of old junk and shipped to this city by Nathan Bar­ low. When brought bare it was In good state of preservation. A couple of artillery soldier* brushed it up and the succeeding July 4th it was loaded and fired, which wa* done on several occasions afterward. In 1878 the result of the presiden­ tial election hung In doubt for several weeks, and one midnight after the newsgatherer* had worked the com­ munity up to a tense pitch, the old. gun bellowed out a most terrific blast and half dressed men and women quickly gathered to hear the news, and the mischief makers stood around with their hands In their pocket* en­ joying the commotion. If remembered rightly, that mid­ night discharge wan the last it ever gave, and shortly after that it wan mounted where It ha* since stood. It is a war relic the D. A. R. should honor with a wreath and a flag every Memorial day, an object lesson for rising generations. ■ELD APRIL SUPPER.

The beautiful and tuneful opera of Cinderella will be given at Reed's op­ era house Thursday and Friday even­ ings, May 8 and 9, for the benefit of Emmanuel Guild. The rehearsals for the opera are well under way and go­ ing finely and there Is surely a great treat in store for the large audiences that will hear the final rendering. The pretty Uttle story of Cinderella is carried out in the opera in the most attractive way. The children have al­ ways loved this old story and for all the older people tbe attraction is no less strong. The lesson taught is a moral one and that Is one reason why the old, oM fairy’ tale has lived in our hearts through so many years. The music is all lovely, it fairly bubbles with witching, catchy songs, fanciful steps and pretty dances, while th>) costumes are bewllderlngly pretty. The title role of Prince Leo will be sung by Mr. John Wilson Dodge, who with bls wife has composed and staged many successful operas. They pre­ sented the Gypsy Rover In HasUngs two years ago and simply delighted a capacity house both productions.

Blake was born in Rutland township, Barry Co., April 26. 1871, and died at his home in Lakeview, Mich., Friday, April 25. ■His childhood and youth were spent in this immediate community and sev­ enteen years ago, April 12, 1896, he was united in marriage to Miss Cora Davidson of Lakeview, nnd to this union was born one son, Ernest. Soon after thia he took up his residence at Lakeview where ho made and hod a ■large circle of friends. Though in declining health for a number of years he was never heard to complain but was always In the most hopeful and congenial spirits. His unusual ambition and energy enabled him to be up and about his business until a few days before his departure. During the last seven years the de­ ceased has been preceded to the spirit world by a mother, two brothers and two sisters. Besides the large circle of friends and acquaintances which will mourn his demise he leaves his companion, and son who is now a young man, a father, Paul M. Blake of this city, two sisters, Mrs. W. H. Otis of Hastings and Mrs. W. L. Tasker of Chicago, and a brother, Harry Blake, of Freeport, Mich., all of whom were present to pay the last tribute of love and respect except the father, who being in tho south was unavoidably detained. Rev. Ballou of the United Brethren church conducted the funeral service at the home of Ira Otis, uncle of the deceased, at two o'clock Sunday after­ noon. Mrs. Ballou sang as a special selection, “Does Jesus Care," being most appropriate for the occasion. Interment was made in the Rutland cemetery. Fred F. Benham. Fred F. Benham, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Benham of this city, was born In Rutland township, Barry Co., Mich., Aug. 9. 1875, and died at the Soldiers* Home hospital, Grand Rap­ ids, April 24. He was raised In this community nnd with the exception of three years which he gave In the service of his country' lived here all his life. When the Spanish-American war broke out he enlisted in the fall of 1896 in tbe 19th Mich. Infantry and three years later wm given an honor­ able discharge at Harrisburg, Penn., June 12, 1899. He then returned to his home In Hastings. About ten years "go he received in­ jury from tbe kick of a horse which caused a partial paralysis, since which time he has been in declining health, and Bome months ago went to receive hospital treatment at the Soldiers' Home.

Nesbit; Chester Stowell, Ward Baine, Beatrice McDonald, Thelma Townsend, Doris Sprague, Nell Smith, Eeari Chase, Myron Haw­ ley and Horace Webster have perfect attendance for thia month. Daniel and %Orin Wolcott moved to Hastings the third week of school. Barbara Coolbangh entered school the second week. Her attendance hai been perfect. Our crocuses and hyacinths are very beautiful. The tulip will soon be in bloom. ‘ The advanced grades have been test­ ing seed corn, while most ot the pu­ pils of the lower grades are experi­ menting with small window boxes. We wish to express our sincere thanks to Mr. nnd Mrs. Chas. E. Fuller for a fine book which they presented lo the school library. Our school boys crossed bats with the Altoft hoys, nnd were badly beat­ en, last Friday afternoon. We all feel very thankful to Rev. C. A. Slack for his weekly visits and for bis kind and interesting talks. The perfect spellers for the month were Valenta Fuller, Marjorie Bolton, Doris Sprague, Thelma Townsend, Mae Woodman. Arthur Richardson. William Wood, Mahlan Fuller, Chester Stowell, Hubert Barnum. Myron Haw­ ley and Earl C. Chase. Webster Hastings. A man llvln^^nt Auburn, New York, had a severe attack of kidney and bladder trouble. Being a working man, not wanting to lose time, he cured himself completely by using Joley Kidney Pills. A year later he i» a pleasure to report that I Want You to See My “Garland” “It’s so goo- to look at and ao much better to cook on,” continued Mre. Smith, “that it makes me proud every time I abow my kitchen." “I wouldn't have believed that just having the ovens elevated at the side —Cabinet Style they call it—would have made my cooking ao much easier, but now Fd never go back to that old back-breaking, low-oven stove." "And the glass oven door, Oh, it's such a pleasure to watch things bake to just the right brown. And besides, this is the only really perfect oven I ever heard of. Everything I bake comes out a beautiful even brown on top, sides, and bottom. I tell you it’s a joyl” "Then too, you see these high legs make it so much easier to sweep under, and the aluminum finish and smooth castings make it so easy to dean, that I can’t help being a bit enthusiastic about this stove." “And you should see Frank smile every time he gets his gas bill. I guess it’s true alright that these star-shaped burners and ventilating holes in the oven-bottom save gas.” OF COURSE MRS.

The Incident was a record breaker, and did much toward more considera­ tion for men and measures than ot party alignments. The legislature has proven that the nearer the equal representation by political parties the better the work done. While legisla­ tures heretofore, at least for a quarter of a century, have devoted much time in lining up support in a comnig cam­ paign for individuals, the present one devoted itself to building up the pro­ gressive spirit, to govern future party Alignments. Some good laws have been passed, some bad ones repealed or improved, but there is still a crying need for reforms in state manage­ ment, in order to reduce taxation and correct abuses. Governor Ferris will do bls share if allowed a chance.

CARVETH \& STEBBINS $11,900,000 mark was passed In appro­ priations. much being to cover the niggardly regime of Gov. Osborn who cut the appropriations two years ago, to make an economy record. Ono of the best laws passed, or rather a bad one repealed, was the elimination ot the enrollment and fifteen per cent, law In primary elections. Thanks for this, but tbe law could have been made still more effective had it pro­ vided that no county ticket for any party should be printed on the ballot where less than five per cent of the total vote was cast at the last general election by such party. Another pro­ vision should be that no voter should be allowed to cast a primary ballot who failed to vote at the spring elec­ tion unless physically unable to do so. The short ballot failed, but it will come later. The commissioner of state land office was abolished. It has been useless for years. The teachers’ pension bill was de­ feated. Its fate was sealed when the house refused to eliminate the refer­ endum law. Had it passed with fie referendum the people would hrve have put it to sleep under a blanl t of votes. No civil pension law fir Michigan was demonstrated in i:ie vote on the firemen's pension bill sub­ mitted at the spring election. Among the new laws enacted the following are the most important: ■ Initiative and referendum for laws. Initiative for constitutional amend­ ments. Recall (except judges). Anti-corrupt elections. Primary reform; enrollment and 15 per cent clause abolished. Direct election of senators. Business basis for all fraternal insurance. Pure food laws strengthened. Prohibition of selling liquor "on tick.” Commission to plan minimum wage law. Prohibition of shipping liquor into dry counties. The blind pigs got It in the neck sure and the bootlegger “importers” will either Join tbe Eggleston exiles or seek a more congenial clime. One of the most important acts, in our way of thinking, was tbe provis­ ions caring for indigent crippled chil­ dren. Heretofore there was no other place .for these unfortunates except tbe county poorhouse, where they must stay and grow up in ignorance and of ttimes Into vicious and immoral habits, becoming a cost to the county. Under the law just pawed the school at Cold­ water is to be enlarged and provision made for education and teaching of suitable trades and occupations which would enable them to earn their own living. A crippled child, by accident or defect, may be Intellectually bright and bealthy, and should be given a change. Very naturally the writer feels well rewarded for his efforts In behalf of this law. Altogether the session has proven that promises made to constituents were better for the keeping than for breaking. Michigan could do no* bet­ ter than to continue bipartisan repre­ sentation.

"Old Abe” wae one of tbe family of white-beaded eagles, and was taken from his nest when only four months oM and sold to a fanner for a bushel of corn. He was a very Intelligent bird, and attracted the attention of a gentleman, who purchased and pre­ sented Mm to the Eighth Regiment, then preparing to go to the front He was gladly received, and given a place next to the regimental flag. For three yearn he followed the "Live Engle Regiment,” being near Its flag In thir­ ty battles. In January, 1871, he was exhibited In the Old South church, in Boston, for the benefit of the preser­ vation fund for that Massachusetts landmark. M. 8. Porter, in one of the Boston papers, at that time said: "This majestic bird is always moved and most * demonstrative at the sound of martial music. He shared all the bat­ tles of the regiment, but no drop of his blood was ever sacrificed. Vainly did rebel sharpshooters ahn at his dark figure, conspicuously 'painted on the crimson sky*; he seemed to bear a charmed life: and his loyal comrades almouLlooked up to him as their lead­ er, and with pride believed in him as a bird of good omen.

Insisting upon being in the thickest of tbe fight, nnd when his comrades, ex­ posed to great danger from the terri­ ble fire of the enemy, were ordered to He down, he would flatten himself up­ on the ground with them, rising when they did, and with outspread pinions soar aloft over the carnage and smoke of the battle.

He was always restless before the march of the encounter, but after the smoke of the battlefield bad clear­ ed away he would doff his soldier-llkc bearing, and with wild screams of de­ light would manifest bis joy at thevlctory; but if defeat was the result his discomfiture and deep sorrow were manifested by every movement of bis stately figure but drooping head.” PACT mi NOTIONS SPECIALS Black Darning Cotton, 45 yards on spool, only............................. 1C.

The legislature has passed the bill appropriating 8375,000 for a new science building for the unlverolty. The structure will be placed between the law college and the chemistry building, fronting North Univereity avenue, on the site now occupied by the old psychological laboratory. The fact that the bill passed the two legis­ lative bodies unanimously indicated that the need for tbe new hall was im­ perative. To provide accommodations for the departments of botany, zoolo­ gy, forestry, geology, mineralogy and psychology It has been necessary to crowd them into scattered buildings the overcrowded condition of which seriously Interfered with the progress of the work. With Its new hall Mich­ igan will rank second to none in its equipment for scientific study. The Students' Christian Associa­ tion, the oldest of Its kind in the world celebrated the fifty-fifth anniversary of Its founding last Saturday and Sun­ day. The principal address was given by James A. McDonald, editor of the Toronto Globe, who spoke on “Ameri­ can Universities and the World Situa­ tion." A Notable Musical Event. The twentieth annual May festival, to be held in the new Hill auditorium May 14, 15. 16, 17, will undoubtedly bn the very best in the history of the uni­ versity of Michigan Musical society. A splendid program of concerts, pre­ sented In the finest concert hall In America, by artists of the highest rank In the musical world, will easily justify Mme. Schumann-Heink’s char­ acterization of Ann Arbor as the “Bayreuth of America." The new auditorium, the gift of the late Regent Arthur W. Hill, has been pronounced perfect in Its appoint­ ments. Its acoustic properties are such that an ordinary conversational tone will carry distinctly from ths stage to the last seat in the second balcony. It has a seating capacity of five thousand. A spacious foyer and five large entrance doors will make It possible to handle the greet crowds without the slightest difficulty. More­ over. track facilities will enable the management to assemble In the Imme­ diate vicinity of the hall a sufficient number of Interurban cars to accom­ modate the out-of-town guests. But these material conveniences are only a fitting accompaniment to the program of concerts to be offered. Tho festival is to serve ns a worthy musi­ cal dedication of Hie new auditorium, though the formal dedicatory exer­ cises will not be held until commence­ ment week. It will also serve to com­ memorate the twenty-fifth annivers­ ary of Prof. Albert A. Stanley's con­ nection with the university school of music. Engineering Exhibition. On Thursday, May 15, May festival week, the various departments in tho college of engineering, including the electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical and marine, in conjunction with tbe departments of architecture and for­ estry, will give a public exhibition In the new engineering and other cam­ pus buildings. Machines of all types will be In op­ eration in the several laboratories, with attendants at-hand to explain their operation. Demonstrations will be given of wireless telegraphy and wireless lighting, of ship tests in the naval, tank, of cement and filtration plants In operation, of timber testing, etc. A large collection of architect­ ural drawings will also be displayed. A course of Instruction in embalm­ ing will be offered In tbe university summer session. Professors Camp­ bell, Novy, Streeter and Hale will have charge of the various subjects to be taught In this course. Card of Thanks.

Published Every Thursday at Hastings, __________ Michigan.* Ftr tke *s Wa Uaferataed tlMltim. Consumers As Well As Producers. It Is gratifying to see such an ably conducted and Influential paper as the Grand Rapids Press assume a sane and fair attitude towards the present tariff question. Formerly the Press was lined up with the standpat organs that always take the side of the privi­ leged few against the Interests of the masses when it comes to a question of reducing the burdens of the tariff. But recently it has strongly deprecated such a stand, scoring the standpat press of the country for Its unfair position and denouncing the present effort to create alarm in the business world by shouting “ruin'* and “disas­ ter" if the Underwood bill passes, as being unpatriotic. In discussing calamity howling over beet sugar, the Press hits the case ex­ actly when it says: “What we need more than anything else in our tariff debates Is the spirit that considers tbe country as a whole, and the interests, not merely of producers, but also of consumers. The man who Is paying grocery bill, dry goods bills and every other kind of bills deserves some con­ sideration, especially as he has no hired lobby at Washington to talk for him." This la precisely what the present majority in congress, backed by n democratic president, is trying to do, "consider the Interests, not merely of producers, but also of consumers." And It Is a policy which such dyed-lntbe-wool, narrow-minded, stand pat­ ters as Joe Fordney and E. L. Hamil­ ton cannot possibly understand. These two statesmen are merely sobbing themselves to death, telling congress what an awful thing will happen to the beet sugar and wool industries it tbe Underwood bill goes through. They are grievously concerned over the danger of ruining a few , sugar barons and sheep raisers, but they have nothing to nay In favor of cheap­ er sugar and clothing to the millions <rf Michigan people who would be ben­ efited by the proposed measure. Isn't ft about time that the fourth and eighth districts ot Michigan sent men to represent them at Washington who had some interest in the unprotected many instead of the over protected few? Met “InviaelMy" ftepubUeaa. Senator Townsend is optimistic tn klo plea for a “united party." He says Michigan will be again 'invincibly rtf­ publican." He extends his hand to the bull mooters and beckons them back Into the ranks of the g. o. p. But will the mooters turn back? They do not. see any real reform offered In the action of the g. o. p. members of the legislature except where said membsrs were forced to acquiesce to pre­ vent further inroads In their ranks. Tbe 75.000 votes cast for the progres­ sive ticket in Michigan this spring do not augur well for an invincible party autonomy. In some places the raoosers might predominate and thus restore themselves to their old posi­ tions, but as a rule rebellions are pun­ ished, politically or otherwise. Then too Governor Ferris and his able workers are giving Michigan an admirable administration, thereby de­ lighting the democrats and a fair con­ tingent of the republican voters, who desire n change. The senator may profess progressive tendencies but he has not lived up to his professions. Instead of being “invincibly repub­ lican," Michigan is debatable ground, for which encouraged democracy will contend another year. The determination of the state vote for the spring candidates Is not yet made. Eighty, of the eighty-three counties have reported. Wayne and two small counties had not reported up to Saturday. Justice Moore had 149,571, Steere 152,055, Murphy 112,$18, Person 112,868. This would leave Moore about 25,000 majority over Mur­ phy, counting Wayne at 10,000 for Murphy, as reported unofficially. There is something loose In our elec­ tion machinery. It takes from six weeks to two months to determine re­ sults, and it is here that frauds are liable to come. A system which would allow an open report to be made to the county clerk in forty-eight hours after the polls close in the pre­ cincts, and by him tabulated and sent to the secretary of state not later ♦ban Saturday of the same week in which election is held, would do away with much of the delay, and prevent fraud. The tabulation and review of sealed returns by county canvassing boards could take place for verifica­ tion of the clerks' reports and if er­ rors occurred could be remedied. The present system of returning boards is antiquated and cumbersome. If an Income tax could be gathered from the millionaire*, as proposed by the pending tariff bill, honestly re ported and collected, there would be no need of a tariff law for revenue. It U not to be supposed that Income tax­ gatherers will be able to fisd more of the hidden wealth than do tax assess­ ors. hut it Is among the possibilities that one millionaire will not submit to the tax while his neighbor goes free, and thus may give to the govern­ ment Its due. The taxing of lncom>*-< above $4,000 will work no hardship, for It involves no distress, being but $10 on n thousand for the first $1,000, and gradually Increasing after $10,000 up to $100,000 and upwards, the latter paying four per cent.

Five open air schools are now In operation tn Michigan according to an article appearing in the April bulletin of tbe Mlchlban Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculos­ is. Three of these schools are located in Grand Rapids, one in Detroit and । one in Ypsllanth Three are for anae। mlc children who do not have tuber­ culosis, and two are for tubcrculai ' children. I The first open air school was start­ . ed at the Grand Rapids sanatorium I under the apple trees. Later tha j school was housed in one of the open I shacks. Thia is the only open air < school in the state which has charge of tbe children both day and night. • The results were astonishing, tor chit­ s dren coughing and spitting tubercle bacilli and way below par In physique , have Increased in weight, lost their I cough and In comparison with chll‘ dren attending non-tuberculous fresh ! air schools and living at home seem much stronger and in better physical and mental condition. The only other school which takes tubercular children is the Nellie Loi land school In Detroit. In this school the children go to their home* at . night, and though the benefits are not ! so marked as where the children are 1 taken care of day and night, nearly i every child has gained In weight, and the physical and mental conditions are much Improved. ! The first school for anaemic chil­ dren was kept open seven and n half weeks during the summer. All but one of the children gained in weight, the average gain being three and three ‘ fourths pounds. The children 1mproved In appearance, appetite, color, spirit, voice-volume, and control over muscular and nervous movements. The results were so satisfactory that the school Ims been continued nnd a similar school has recently been started. this respect tbe state fire marshal says: Schools should teach the practical nnd real things of life. The dtagracoful fire waste and tho sacrifice ot property, lives nnd limbs to the fire fiend constitute one of these real things of life. Through a strong pro­ gram on this day. occasional lessons nnd talks by teacher* anil citizens, scholars can be taught the fncts of needless loss of life and property. They will thus learn, that most of tho fire waste Is preventable, that it is a loss to all and increases the cost of living for nil.

That is tbe order from the postoffice department, vermillion red at that, for mail boxes. The department finds that tbe green boxes harmonise too much with nature and makes the boxes hard to find, especially when they have a background of green. Another order which is said to be coming la that the mail wagons are expected to be uniform in appearance. If Charlie Gaskill comes out with his buggy all the rest must follow suit, or If D. R. Foster drives up with that Ut­ tle red auto every son ot a gun must perforce jeopardise his life and for­ tune to get into the “uniform" line.

Conaldsrable Studying and Experi­ menting Necessary to Find Ont What Fowls Need and How Much They Should Have. (By KATHERINE ATHERTON GRIMES.) The hen baa three reasons for eat­ ing: to repair the tissues of her body, to keep herseK warm, and to make eggs It therefore follows that her diet must be varied and plentiful. If we open the crop of a hen that has been allowed to eat just what she pleased we will find that she has pro­ vided herself with three kinds of food —grain, green stuff nnd meat The last named is usually in tbe form of bugs and worms. Wo must, then, furnish our hens with food of these classes. Moreover, the quantity must be about right of each. If they are not given enough, they will have to use it all for body building and heat production, and will have nothing left over to make eggs with. If we feed too much of some kinds the surplus will go to tot, and the hens will get too lazy to lay. It takes considerable studying and experimenting to find out just what the hens need, and bow much they ought to have, but we must learn as soon aa we can, or we will find our This famous Serge is lightest in weight, coolest—an ideal suit tor warm weather.

Thon trays can be slipped out and placed in the poultry house as poultry Is Dot ao profitable qs ft ought to be. The feeding question is one of the moat important in the whole poultry business. - Experts tell us that a hen Mods about six ounces of food a day. A flock of ten, then, win need about three and three-fourths pounds a day, or a trifle over twenty-six pounds week. Of this amount two-thirds by wei| should consist of grains. The grain should be a mixture of equal parts of wheat, cracked com and oats. A few handfuls of sunflower seed, cane seed or buckwheat should be added for v» risty. They are to the ben what ph is to the boy—and you know wbai that to. The other third should be a "mash,* which Is a mixture of bran dnd othei finely ground feeds, usually fed dry. Some poultrymen moisten the mash, but the majority claim that it is bet­ ter to feed it dry, and 1st the ben moisten it in bar crop by drthktag wbat water she wants. If fed dry t£era is less danger from certain Mads of disease. A good formula for a mash is aa follows: Ono-half bushel of bran, 4 quarts alfalfa meal, 2 qaarts each o4 ground oats and com meal, 1 table spoonful of charcoal, 1 pint of best ecrap, 1 taMeapoonful ot salt and 1 teaspoonful of pepper. This furnishes both meat and green food in about the right quantities Where these elements are given In other ways the alfalfa meal and beel scrap may be omitted from the mash. These Ingredients should be tbor oughly mixed together, and tbe mash kept where tbe hqjis can get it any time they want it It Is a bulky food, but not a fattening one, so there is no danger of their eating too much. The bran is one of the best “condition powders” poultry can have. It keeps the system vigorous and healthy and furnishes a large part of tbe egg-mak­ ing elements, The grain food abould always be thrown Into a deep little of straw or chaff, where the birds will have to “scratch for a living.” It you have ever watched an old hen digging about in the yard you will know that It la as natural for ber to dig as it is to breathe. Grit and lime, usually given In tbe form ot oyster shells, are two other necessary elements. They should be kept before the fowls all the time. A very convenient hopper for feeding the mash, grit and shells may be made like 'he illustration, tbe compartment for tho mash being much langur that the other*.

The club met in the council room Friday. May 2, and the meeting wai called to order by the preaident, Mr*. Stebbins. After the usual business meeting the president mentioned the regret of all tor Mrs. Smith’s illness. Bhe was to have been the hostess of the afternoon, but In her absence, Mrs. Rose Cplgrove had charge of the pro­ gram. ' It was “Barry County Day,” and the chief event of the afternoon was to have been an address concerning the early history of the county given by the Hon. W. W. Potter. As Mr. Potter was not present when ft was time for the program to begin, the other mem­ bers were given. The club had the privilege of listening to Mrs. Maurice Grigsby who, accompanied by Mrs. L. H. Pryor, chamlngly saog "The Spring la Coming.” Mrs. Grigsby wn* most heartily encored and responded with "Absence.” ■‘Reminiscences” was the subject assigned to three of the chib members. Mias Rose Goodyear came first. She staled that on such a topic one was expected to relate events of her per­ sonal life, but, as her memagy did not extend back to real plisii ujphies, she would relate things of wbfchrehe had heard her parents tell. Miss Good­ year’s mother's early life had been spent in Buffalo, and she weed to tell how her sister once returned from a tea party, eager to relate some culin­ ary knowledge that she bad acquired. This was no teas than the tact that fried cakes could really be made of •our milk. Instead of, as always had been done, of rained dough. When Mrs. Goodyear carte to thia county she was In manning for a sister. A maa^ called at the house one day, to borrow the mourning outfit, for a stranger, and it was cheerfully loaned. At that time the young stranger noticed the Invariable ktodneu of all to alL There was an entire absence of the house­ hold conveniences that we have come to look upon as necessities. Candles were made by dipping the wicks into melted tallow. After they bad cooled, the dipping was continued until the candles were the derived else. . Mrs. Hendershott began by aaylng that some one had thought the com­ mittee must consider her old. She had concluded that she was either not old enough to be reminiscent or too old to remember what had happened. She opoka of the change in the city's ap­ pearance, the leveling of hills and the filHag of hollows. When she was a child the spot where the M. E. church now stands was covered with trees and base! brush, and there she need to have her playhouse. The yards were all fenced in. Everybody kept a cow, . and the cows were all turned into the .'*jatreet, each one wearing a, bell. Bhe ''contrasted the coming of the two rail­ roads to Hastings. When-the Michi­ gan Central was competed, the wo­ men of the town served a dinner to the men connected with the road. On the completion of the C-, K. ft S., the women of the city were taken to KalumaxQO for a dinner. Mrs. Huffman told of her first mem•ory of church attendance. The ser­ vice was held in the oftl court house, the judge’s desk serving as a pulpit :and the jury box as a choir loft. There was no resident rector, but one came .at intervals for a service, and a feast was always prepared for his coming. On one occasion he failed to arrive when expected, but came a few days later. Consternation reigned. What should be prepared for him to eat? Sirs. Huffman’s mother looked out and saw a flock of wild turkeys In the back yard. She ran out and chased one of them round and round a straw stack until it was exhausted. It was killed, and the rector’s dinner was provided. Mrs. Huffman spoke of “the Indian camping ground.” This was ihe place where the circus was always held. The boys and girls used to go out. In the early morning, beyond the present cemetery, to meet the wagons of the circus, following them into town. She said there is a tradition that once one of the wagons of a me­ nagerie was overturned, and from it a bin all snake escaped. This has grown, and will go down to fame as “Carter’s snake.” Mrs. Huffman’s father pur■chased a cannon, and the speaker told of the first time It was fired, nt aunrise one Fourth of July morning. This Is the cannon that has so long occu­ pied a place on the Bnrlow lawn, and has recently been given to the city by Airs. Huffman’s brother. Royce Barlow of Chicago. Mr. Poller failed to appear, mil Mr. Bates who chanced to be present, was HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, MAY 8,1913. naked for a talk. He spoke briefly M the work and poverty of pioneer days, and told bow he used to be obliged to go to church, much against his will. Mr. Bates thought the school of the early time much better than the church services. The meeting adjourned for two weeks. MUI CONSTABLE UIDSJWini Ssrtoua Aerfaent to BsMfaiere Farmer. Jesse Warner, aged 68 years, met with a serious-accident and came near losing his life, four miles south of the city, Friday afternoon. He bad been to the city and when returning home met John Sheffield and mother, Mrs. George Sheffield, of Johnstown, who were coming to town in an auto. The horse did not seem to be afraid of the car, and they passed all right While gazing at the car, a tug unhooked and this let the loop on the thills slip over the end of the thills, dropping on the ground. This frightened the horse, and she jumped, overturning the bug­ gy, and horse, driver and buggy were tangled up, the horse stepping on War­ ner’s leg above the ankle, breaking and splintering one bone of the leg. It would have been more serious hod not Mr. Sheffield jumped from his auto, after shutting off the power, and ran back to the aid of Mr. Warner. After getting things in shape, Mr. Warner was brought to the city. Dr. F. G. Shef­ field reduced the fracture, and sewed up a frightful gash, and again he was put Into the auto and taken to his home near Dowling. "What makes the accident more dis­ tressing Is the fact that Mr. Warner’s wife is an invalid, unable to care for herself, he being her main depend­ ence, and added to this, they were to be left without help in the house on Monday. The place of the accident Is at the south line of the township of Hastings where the road goes through a cut. rendering it a difficult place to get by. AND COSTS. Eighth Grode Gradaatfon. The custom, successfully Inaugurat­ ed last year, of holding union gradua­ tion exercises in this city for* all the rural schools in the county, will be again observed this year. On the seventh of June the schools haring eighth grade graduates will assemble on the fair grounds, where joint exer­ cises will be held and certificates awarded, admitting them to any high school wlthour examination. The graduating exercises will be conducted In the forenoon, and an athletic field day for the rural schools of Barry county will be held in the afternoon. Under the supervision of School Commissioner Edger and the Progres­ sive Teachers' club, committees have been appointed on program, sports and finances. These committees will meet one week from Saturday and complete the details after which the program will be published. ' Te Oldtime Stagers. Pleasing in the extreme was the “Old Folks’ Concert” given In the M. E. church on Friday evening under the auspices of Mrs. R. K. Grant’s social dub. A chorus of mixed voices under the leadership of Mr. C. G. Maywood rendered many numbers most credit­ ably. while the solos by Mesdames Hu­ bert Cook, Margaret Troxel and Nel­ son Burroughs, Messrs. Kerr and May­ wood, Mias Mary McElwain and llttls Lois Mackey are deserving of special mention. Albert Konkle with a violin solo and'the high school orchestra also added to the enjoyment of the evening. Powdered hair, flschues and nose­ gays for the lady stagers aided in car­ rying out the spirit of the songs. The concert netted about 335 to the clnb treasury. The Lfekty WaadertasL The wanderlust struck the Lichty family last week. Although the mem­ bers were from thirty to forty miles apart at nearly the same hour of the same day they took the notion to visit. John and Frank Lichty of this city left on Thursday for Kalamazoo on business. When they got through they found they could not reach home that day so they made up their minds to visit their brother Aaron at Allegau. On arriving at Allegan at a late hour they finally located the brother's resi­ dence to find he had gone |o Hastings that afternoon. After all night In Al­ legan they left Friday morning for Grand Rapids to visit Jay Lichty, son of John Lichty. Here again they were disappointed for Jay and little daugh­ ter Alice had gone to Hastings. Attended Alfalfa Banquet. A delegation of Hastings men who are interested in the alfalfa campaign motored over to Allegan Monday night to attend the alfalfa banquet, and see If arrangements could not be made to secure Prof. P. G. Holden to conduct a campaign in Barry county similar to the Kent and Allegan campaigns. J. C. Ketcham was one of the speakers nt the banquet. The following gen­ tlemen composed the party: M. A. Vester. R. M. Bates. Jas. Lancaster. Wm. Sheffield, Ernest Edmonds, Carey Edmonds. R. B. Messer. G. H. Otis. J. M. Payne, J. C. Ketcham, F. R. Pan­ const, Leo Burton. FOUR ILLEGAL FISHERIES FROM BATTLE CREEK PAT FIKE Justice Bishop Extracts filSJfl from Each Member of the Beach for Using Seines. PRIZES AWARDED BT D. A. R. Throe Young Ladles at Woodland Won la Essay Centest Mrs. C. G. Maywood and Mro. Jason E. McElwain, representing the local chapter, Daughters of the. American Revolution, went to Woodland Friday to attend the exercises in connection with the completion of the prise essay contee*. which the chapter has been conducting in the school under the di­ rection of Mrs. Maywood. The same plans were carried out as in the con­ tests of the past three yean when Hastings, Nashville and Middleville schools have competed, the subject of the essay being “How Michigan Be­ came a State” and the prise, a framed copy of the Declaration of Independ­ ence. After a abort program by the pupils Airs. Maywood announced that Mrs. Helen Knappen Scripps, dean of wo­ men at Albion college, had judged up­ on the essays and had awarded first place to Miss Mary Blocher; second and third honors foiling to Misses Freda Sawdy and Doris Mohler. Miss Roselle Goodyear, regent of the chapter, being unable to attend the exercises, Mrs. McElwain presented the prises on behalf of the organisa­ tion. It to an interesting fact that in the four contests, the honors have always been won by young Indies. Wednesday afternoon was a gala day in Justice C. R. Bishop’s court and the large number of autos In front of the court room would lead one to think that some social function was being pulled off. This however was not the case. William J. Dowling, P. H. Bauman, A D, Wattle and Hurry Goldworthy of Battle Creek were the guests of honor at the /unction and they bad been ar­ rested on complaint of Frank O. Kel­ ley, a constable of Barry township, on a charge of fishing in Lawrence lake in that township with seines, contrary to the statutes In such case made and provided. The gentlemen from Battle Creek came over with well filled purs­ es for the occasion and It was well for them that they*dld, as at the close cf the engagement.

Do you wont to know* how? By keeping your lawn nicely cut, not only to the walk, but clear to the roadside. The road­ side In front of your property is yours to care for as much as your lawn and spoils the whole effect if not well kept. Let us have flower beds and plenty of them, and see that there are no weeds along the fences, and remove all rub­ bish from the roadside near town. In other words, have civic pride and do not wait for some one else to do, but do something yourself. This is not c proposition that calls for money, but It does call for pride for the town you live in, and some attention, so just hustle a littlo and help to beautify our little town .so that tourists will re­ mark while passing through, “Wei!, isn’t Delton an attractive place?” Mr. nnd Mrs. Isaac Houvenor autoed to Lansing Sunday. _, 21 22 23 24 25 27 30 •n.

"I never have,” he Mid smiling, "but it is never too late to change my methods. Don’t tell anyone about it, will you?" "Oh no,' no,” she cried in alarm, “and you won’t tell that I have bought it?” and the tear* started lu her sweet eyes. "Why. surely not,” he returned, wondering at her emotion, and brisk­ ly turning matter* into a thoroughly buniaeas channel, he pulled out a tray .of rings, and asked: "How high do you want to go?” Th* girl’* eyes lingered upon a dainty little pearl cluster ring, and Bart finally let her have It at cost, twelve dollars, telling her to pay him the other seven a* she mw fit' He laughed at himself a little scornfully the rest of the day when the transac­ tion recurred to him, but by the next forgot it, for hi* heart was still heavy with tbe sorrow the city girl had made for him.

He looked at the little shrinking figure, and knew that it waa * crisis in the girl’s life. Innocent of any wrong, she would be branded by these two, jeal­ ous of her beauty, lu a way that might spoil her whole future. With this realization came the knowledge that into his own wounded heart this gentle, clinging child-woman had crept, and be felt a fierce determina­ tion to protect her, even though after­ ward* she disclaim bl* statement Calmly, he took Daisy's little hand, on which appeared the offending ring, and drawing it through his arm said coldly: "My dear, while I thank you for keeping our engagement a secret, still I think you have gone a little too far. As you have respected my wishes not to’have It known until after the first.of the year, I’ll solve the mystery of this ring, and tell these ladles, and they can spread the news all over town, that you obtained this ring from me,” and with these word* he swept the astounded girl from the room. “Get on your wraps.” he told her, "and I will take you home,” and he waited In the hall, fully conscious of the bussing tongue* inside a* the new* spread like wildfire. Daisy kept him waiting but a min­ ute, and he felt a'thrill of joy as he saw the light in her brown eyes, tim­ idly raised to bls, but he Mid nothing until they were well clear of the hall, and then asked gently: "What made you buy the ring, Daisy, dear?" Choked with sob*, the girl con­ fessed that she had envied tbe other girls their admirers, and was tired of being teased because she had none of her own. "Ths girls say I’m too quiet for the boys to like me. and I thought if 1 had a pretty ring they vfould think "Ton poor little thing,” he cried, realising that the very reserve and shyaea* that had repelled others had made him grow, to love her. *T won­ der, dariisg." he whispered, bending his head over her*, and pressing her hand close to bls side, "If you are willing to make what I said tonight strictly troeT" Daisy raised her eye* to his. She assdsd no further word* to tell her that she was truly loved, and with a •oft cry of joy she replied with a swift gianee of her pretty brown eyes. Everyone was In tbe ball, so Bart did not delay, but gathered her into his arms and covered her soft Ups with his own. Daisy now has a half a dozen very valuable rings, but prizes that little pearl cluster more than any, and she and Bart already have measured an­ other one on her little finger, a plain, broad band, that he Is to put on the day she is eighteen, which will also be her bridal day.

These sheep were owned by different parties, from 50 to 200 belonging to one man. Each owner had his sta­ bles, one or more according to the number of sheep he bandied. There were never more than 100 sheep in one stable. My* a writer in the Amer­ ican Agriculturist. These stable* were built like bouses along a city street That is, they were built In a row on each side of an alley, facing each other. One of the thing* that surprised me, on coming to America, was the large barn* that farmer* built, and then run all the sheep together in this on* bam. I believe this has a tendency to breed disease. I do not believe sheep ought to be herded together in a small place, and they should have frequent change of pasture*. I have always found sheep-raising very profitable. In fact, 1 think a few sheep should be kept on every farm.

Hadley of the veterinary department of the College of Agriculture of ths University of Wisconsin. Last year a considerable loss was sustained by Wisconsin Stockman from this causa. The greatest trouble resulted from beets that were foxen and afterward thawed before being fed. In one seri­ ous case the frozen beet* were boiled with grain to make a slop. After this mixture was fed the hogs died in a short time, due to paralysis of the heart Recent investigations show that the chemical changes which take place in the processes of freezing and thawing produce n poisonous sub­ stance which cause* rather sudden death when eaten.

Michigan's soil han been robbed by wheal and other grain ns well as timothy hay raised to sell in eastern markets. While alfalfa needs good rich soil to start It. most farms can supply this in small patches I and get the new legume started, then It will help enrich other fields; in other words it will pay for Its keep. When alfalfa becomes the principal hay crop, then tho immature veal’ problep’ will be solved. Even now with the high, price of meat, it will pay the farmer to raise stock, for it will advance in price, but there Is an add­ ed advantage and positive gain In fc"dIgn the roughage and grain, for the enrichment of the soil. The seed dealers give encouraging reports of sale of alfalfa seed, show­ ing that the Infection or Innoculation of tho Kent county sentiment has bub­ bled over into Barry.

"She goes around with a fixed look in one hand and a pencil la the other,” said an Old World visitor laughingly, in describing a clever little business woman of thirty or so.

MEANINGS CHANGED BY TIME Study of Word Building Through Cen­ turies Brings Out Many Most Interesting Point*. Word building is as much a piece of carpentry us is bouse building. Only it takes longer. BometimeB a century or more. And by that time the word’s first meaning is usually changed. For example, the old word for “neighbor" was “sib.” One’s good neighbor was known as one’s “good alb.’’ This became shortened to "godalb,’’ and later to "gossip.** Then tbe word’s whole meaning changed and gossip no longer meant good neigh­ bor, but applied to the sort of talk exchanged between good neighbors. Take the word "farmer,’’ too. The old word for ‘‘farmer’’ was "boor.” (And "boor" later was used for de­ scribing farmer-like or rough per­ sons.) The farmer living nearest to quo was known as the “nlghhor.” and this phrase, In course of time, wns twisted to "neighbor.” You’ve heard the proverb: "Little pitchers have big ears." Well, it A want ad In the Journal-Herald doesn’t refer to the utensil that holds water or goes to the corner side door. will sell your house or farm. "Pitchar” was a slang tom with sems raeh meaning as our word “chap” or “fellow.'” Thus, "Little fsUows have big ears" la a more sensible roadertag of tha proverb. When a Judge Pleaded.

But your client shall not on that ac­ count be deprived of defense.

In abort, that the accused committed a fault accidentally, and that she will engage never again to appear before the tribunal. There. Maltre C.» Is your pleading, is it not?

Artificially prepared foods con­ taining iron do not always produce tho desired effecL because the Iron is not completely assimilated. This dif­ ficulty, it is thought, may be avoid­ ed by causing plants to take up an increased quantity of iron during their natural growth. By adding hydrate of iron to the soil in which it was grow­ ing. the experimenters have succeed­ ed in producing spinach containing a percentage of iron seven times as great as that found in ordinary spin­ ach. It is believed that the process will prove successful with other fer­ ruginous plants. Odd Bight In Europe. One of the oddest sights in Europe (nay be witnessed In toe Uttle city of Odder, Denmark.

Republicans who are denouncing the democratic majority in congress for cutting off debate In the tariff discus­ sion either have short memories, or believe the people have forgotten the rule of Reed and Joe Cannon. When the republicans were in the helghth of their power a cloture rule was always Invoked if necessary to choke off too much publicity of some scheming measure, designed to assist some one to get hla hands into tbe public crib. In fact it was the high handed leader­ ship of Hanna, Platt, Quay, Aldrich, Spooner, Lodge and Cannon, which caused the disruption of the republi­ can party, and made it a minority contingent representing eight elector­ al votes. Even the forlorn hope of boosting into a majority leadership, the erratic ex-presldent, has no charm for the party so disastrously annihi­ lated. Under such leadership these pessimists can see no hope of return­ ing power. They argue in private that tlley would receive better treatment, by joining forces with the democratic party under the leadership of Wilson, Clark, Bryan, Underwood, Hoke Smith and Kern. . Tbe democratic majority have used do steam roller methods. Discussion has been limited because tbe opposi­ tion are talking to kill time, and to parade the high tariff fetich through­ out the country by free delivery by the government at misleading “facta.” President Wilson isl with the aid of hla cabinet and congress, giving the people what they voted for—a tariff, based on a revenue schedule, rather than a protective tariff, exploited to give qpdittonal power to combination of capital.

I saw today a man pitching Into a manure spreader stable manure from lain until it was partially rotted, and where It has been stirred several times with forks. I was interested, says a writer in Green’s Fruit Grower, and waited for tbe man to load Ms wheeled spreader drawn by two horsee, and saw him pass up and down through the field several times. This manure-spreading machine is a modern device. It spreads tbe manure more evenly matter how careful or experienced he may be. There was scarcely an inch of soil on the field that was not cov­ ered with a alight spread of manure, the machine covering about eight feet B.M. But It would seem Impossible that such a slight covering of manure should have, as it does, such marvel* out effget upon the soil. This terttiiser really acts like magic. It is not alone the fertility which the manure contains which benefits the land. Tho manure helps to set at wort bacteria in the soil, thus in a measure inocu­ lates tbe soil with helpful creatures that continue their work. Further than this, the manure tends to loosen the soil and to make It crumble easily under the plow and harrow. Differences in Eggs.

In parlor A of tbe State hotel sat Murchell and In parlor B of the Loch­ invar aat Sherrod, playing against each other for votes. Between them flut­ tered tbe delegates and those who bad delegates to sell, like hungry summer flies. But they found—tbe little fellows at least—no honey pot st Murchell s end: no scandal must mar tbe nomina­ tion of Dunmeade. (As for the raptains of tens snd captains of hundredH. that la another matter, into which we may not intrude.) In crowded afreets and sweltering, smoke clouded lobbies excitement ran high. Tbe Dunmeade rallying ground, the only quiet spot In tbe capital, con­ trasted significantly with tbe nervous atmosphere of tbe Sherrod headquar­ ters. Such contentment with tbe situa­ tion could not be feigned! It was in­ fectious: It spread out among the dele­ gates who bad pledged themselves to vote for Dunmeade and nullified tbe frantic efforts of Parrott (nominally managing Sherrod's campaign) to start a stampede: It kept tbe neutrals waver­ ing. And over tbe scene of conflict hov­ ered a formless one. unseen, unheard, unfelt, aa spirits always are. waiting but for tbe crucial moment to swoop down and decide the Issue. Came a lull in the battle, an hour to­ ward morning, when the delegates had retired to allotted cots or halves of beds or. more often, to woo fortune over some table of chance, when the. reeking lobbies were depopulated and the headquarters of the generals were deserted by all but their respective staffs nnd the yawning reporters. There was a knock on Murcbell's door and Greene, lender in Plumville, admitted a messenger, him who once before find lured Murchell from his re­ treat ou an errand. If not of merry, at least of salvation. Paine went to him and whispered bls message. Murchell shook bls tend. "Tell blm." he snld aloud. “If he wants to see me he'll have to come here."

Cooked Potatoes for Hogs. Potatoes can be fed to hogs with good results, but they should be cook­ ed first. In experiments it has been found that four pounds of cooked po­ tatoes are equal to l pound of grain feed. The potatoes should be fed with grain, as alone they form an unbal­ anced ration. The grain fed should not be cooked, as tbe raw grain is more digestible. Shade In Pastures.

OKelal Yete at Sprint Election. Complete returns ot tbe April elec­ tion as tabulated and certified to by the board of state canvassers were giv­ en out last week. The complete vote on justice of the supreme court was: Steere (Bep.) 178349; Moore (Rep.) 17«3<4; Cook (National Progreestve) 92403; Turner (National Progressive) 96,998; Mur-, phy (Dem.) 148,926; Person (Dem.) 133,954; Moore's plurality, 28,039; Steere’s plurality, 29,424. The above is on the vote for Justices of tbe supreme court, on the leading candidates. The balance of the state tickets will not vary materially from these figures. The suffrage amendment lost by 96,144, while the proposed amendment to pension members of fire depart­ ments was beaten by 26,256. The amendment providing for tbe initia­ tive on constitutional amendments carried by 42,404, while the Initiative on statutes waa adopted by M,0<9. The recall amendment was apparently the most popular winning by 92.33L It will to noticed the vote for the republican candidates was 26,105 more than tbe vote for Taft last November; tbe vote on the democratic ticket was but 1326 less than that cast tor Wil­ son; tbe vote of the progressives was 122,481 less than cast for Roosevelt The vote shows at least 20,000 voters returned to their old love, the reac­ tionary republican party, while 92.­ 202 voters did not vote. The socialist vote last fall was 23,000 and some­ what less this spring. The love feast tor the g. o. p., so confidently expected before spring election seems to have been postponed indefinitely, for the progressives have fled to the mountain of Hepsidam. or some other damn, and the whang doodle mourneth. The great calamity in Omaha was quickly overshadowed by the terribly disastrous floods in Ohio. Great suf­ fering and sickness from colds and exposure resulted.

Tto Sixth Mlrhlgnu Cavalry. We are asked by a comrade to re­ print the following from the National Tribune, the history being brought out by request of Amos Beach of Wood­ bum, Ore., formerly a resident of Thornapple township, and a soldier in the 6th Michigan cavalry. The re­ port says: “The Sth Mich. Cav., one of the fighting regiments, was organized a: Grand Rapids and Detroit from Au­ gust <o October, 1862. Co. A was mustered out June 21, 1865; those members whoso terms would not have expired previous to Feb. 1, 1866. were transferred to the 1st Mich. Vet. Cav. Nov. 7. 1865, with the remaining mem­ bers mustered out Nov. 24, 1865. Tin regiment was commanded by Cols. George Gray and James H. Kidd. Fox says that one ot the most remarkable and gallant cavalry charges of tho I war was made by a squadron of the i 6th Mich. Cav. at Falling Waters, Nd.. July 14, 1863. I Gettysburg a In their retreat from Confederate division made a stand ut this place to cover the crossing of troops and Intrenched. This position was attacked by four companies of the 6th (D. C., B and F). led by Maj. Peter A. Weber, the outer line of works was carried, the men leaped their horses over the inner line, but were obliged to retreat with heavy loss. Maj. Weber and two other officers were killed.. At Hawes’ Shop the regiment lost 16 killed and 1:> wounded out of 140 engaged. In Sheridan’s cavalry campaign In 1864 the regiment's casualties amounted to 29 killed, 60 wounded und 64 tnlssIng. many of the latter being killed or wounded. After the war Custer’s Brigade, to which this regiment be­ longed. was ordered to tbe Far West, where It engaged in fighting Indians. The 6th belonged to Kilpatrick's Di­ vision. Cavalry Corps, and lost 135 killed and 251 from disease, etc. Its total of killed und wounded was 496, nnd 98 of Rs members died in Confed­ erate prisons. Lieut.-Col. Russell A. Alger was promoted to Colonel of the 5th Mich. Cav. on June 11, 1863. and Maj. Thaddeus Foote to Colonel of the 10th Mich. Cav. on Nov. 10 of the same year.” This only gives a part of Its his­ tory. The regiment was conspicuous In the campaign in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864 under both Custer and Merritt at Trevllllan station, Five Forks, and was the last regiment en­ gaged with tho enemy at Appomatox the morning of Lee's surrender. Mich­ igan had many regiments whose rec­ ords are high but none excelled that of -the famous cavalry led by Custer, Stagg and Kidd. Their record Is not in what they said but what they did. A man living at Auburn, New York, hod a severe attack of kidney and bladder trouble. Being a working man, not wanting to lose time, he cured himself completely by using Foley Kidney Pills. A year later he ■ays: “It is a pleasure to report that the cure was permanent." His name Is J. A. Fanner. A. E. Mulholland. • Mortgage Sale.

A book has lately been published which attempts to prove that child labor under certain conditions is not disadvantageous to tbe child. In­ stances are given which are rather convincing. Theue cases do not prove that children ought to work in fac­ tories. And yet the author is wise, very wise in this: that be recognises tbe value of responsibility to the child.

On the subject of the toothbrush a great deal has been written ot late. Some condemn it as a septic and use­ less instrument, and demand that it shall be either boiled or soaked in very strong antiseptics every time after usage. Others still hold that regularity in the use of the toothbrush is one of the cardinal virtues, and win be rewarded by an nndeeayed set ot teeth. Probably the truth Ilea some­ where between the two extremes; tbe toothbrush regularly used is valuable, but not so essential as a correct di­ etary.

He loves to teg a certain story, of a very rambling character and no par­ ticular point To illustrate the climax of the story the old man must have a bell at his elbow, which at the proper moment with a dramatic gesture, he strikes forcibly. He never notces that it Is always at a certain psychological moment that this gay young group lead him to their table and insist on the story. He is flattered and tells the story with great gusto to the applause of his listeners. ' Crash! His hand falls upon the lit­ tle call bell on the table. The story is told.

The management of the team will be in the hands of James “Pepper" Ma'-k, who broke into the professional ranks away back in 1907, when he played with Butler, Pennsylvania. In the state league. In 1908 he was with Minneapolis in the American associa­ tion tor a while and also with the Oil City bunch tn the Pennsylvania state league. In 1909 ‘‘Pepper” was a mem­ ber of the Rock Island team which were pennant winners in the Three I league. In 1910 Jim was manager of the Warren, Pennsylvania, team which got second place In the Inter­ state league. In 1911 “Pepper” was manager of the Newport News, Vir­ ginia, bunch who were champions of the Tide Water league. Last y.ear Mack was connected with the Salem, Ohio, champions in the Ohio and Pennsylvania league. He play* sec­ ond base in the local aggregation. Larry Bean is another of the lineup who Is already here and working out for the season’s campaign. Larry is • also a professional player having en­ tered the professional ranks in 1906 when he played with the l^ronx Ath­ letic club and In 1907 he played , the second season with the same club. In 1908 he was a member of the Newcas­ tle, Pennsylvania, team In the Ohio and Pennsylvania league, and again in 1909. In 1910 Larry drew a place on the Jamestown, New York, team end In 1911 held a position with the Newport News team in Virginia. In 1912 Bean held a place on the McKeysport team in the Ohio and Pennsyl­ vania league. He is an Al catcher and fielder, a good bitter, and shows good head work in all part* of the game. For the third sack the manager has selected Henry Hague-who was iden­ tified with the fast R-C-H Detroit team lest year and in 1911 was a mem­ ber of the Bridgeport, Connecticut, team. Henry is a good fielder and a fair batter and shows good judgment in the game. A Birthday Ssrpriso. Last Thursday a number of the friends and neighbors of Mrs. Chris­ tina Eaton gathered at the home of her son, John Eaton, with whom she re■ sides, to help her celebrate her 80th birthday. The good old lady was agreeably surprised by the. visit and joined with all In the festivities of the occasion. The guest* brought in lee cream and other refreshments with them which made the event still more enjoyable and several nice gifts were left with the venerable- lady as happy reminders of the occasion. Mrs. Eaton Is still active even in her advanced years, and gets about the bouse where she has lived for the past forty-two years about aa quickly as anybody. A photographer was called in and made a photo of the dear old lady and her three children, L. A. Eaton, John Eaton and Mrs. Charles S. Brown. Mrs. Eaton has been doc­ tor and nurse In many of the homes of Hastings people In the past and has smoothed the pillow of many a suffer­ er in days that are gone. Card of Thanks.

Large quantities of scrap mica— small sheets and the waste from the manufacture of sheet mica—are ground for different uses, among which are the decoration of wall paper and the manufacture of lubricants, fancy paints, and molded mica for electrical insulation, according to the United States geological survey. Ground mica applied to wall paper gives a silvery luster. When mixed with grease or oils finely ground mica forms an excellent lubricant for axles and other bearings. Mixed with shel­ lac or special compositions, ground mica is molded into desired forms and is used in insulators for trolley wires. Ground mica for electrical Insulation must be free from metallic minerals. Mica used for lubrication should be free from gritty matter. For wall pa­ per and brocade paints a ground mien with a high luster is required, and huoh luster te best obtained by using a clean, light-colored mica and grinding It under water.

Tavenner has been advocating an in­ come tax for years. Many of his ar­ ticles on the subject have been sent broadcast over the country by the democratic congressional committee. Tavenner's speech was warmly ap­ plauded on the democratic side. "When I went before the voters, In the campaign last fall.” said Taven­ ner, “I made the declaration, repeat­ ing it over and over, that should I be elected. I would make a conscientious endeavor to ascertain how they de­ sired me to vote on important legisla­ tion, and then vote that way. I made that declaration in every good faith. 1 desire no greater tribute when I shall conclude my service In this house, than that the people of my dis­ trict may say of me: ‘He made a prac­ tice of ascertaining how the people of his district desired him to vote on even tlie simplest piece of legislation, and then voted that way.’ "In keeping with my pre-election promise, it is my intention to cast my vote, on behalf of the fourteenth Illin­ ois district, for tlie Income tax.

The program, ami It is being carried out. Is to take some of the tax off-of such articles ns wool­ ens. cottons, sqgar, meat and lumber, and then to make up for the loss of this revenue to the government by levying a tax on the incomes of the wealthy. Strange to say. up to this moment wealth hns not been taxed to tho extent of a single penny to defray the expenses of the national govern­ ment. This is almost unbelievable, but it Is absolutely true, and will not be denied on this door or elsewhere. “It Is true that wealth is taxed for the benefit of cities, counties and slates, but revenue for building bat­ tleships, maintaining tho army nnd nnvy, and running the natlonnl gov­ ernment. is obtained solely by taxing tho things eaten, worn and used by the people. Since the poor eat as much ns the rich, nnd wear clothing ou which the tariff tax is higher than on tlie qualities worn by the rich, it Is obvious that lhe poor contribute ns much toward bearing the burdens of nntlounl taxation ns do the rich. Un­ der the present fiscal system of the 1’nfted States, nearly everything is taxed save wealth. Wealth alone is excluded from taxation. And I sub■nit that wealth should be the first thing to be taxed. The pendnlg bill, removing a very moderate portion of the bunion of taxation from the bend­ ing backs of the poor, and placing it on the rich, who are best able to bear it, will go down in history as the fair­ est. sanest, and most progressive measure ever presented to congress with hope of passage. “Mr. Cliufrman, I do not believe that ft Is just that the men who own 90 per cent of the wealth of the United States should bear but 10 per cent of the bur­ den of taxation. It members agree with jne, that such a condition Is un­ just, then I submit the pending bill is a move in the right direction to rem­ edy IL” “Cinderella" a Grand Snreess. The comic opera "Cinderella” which waa produced at Reed’s opera house last Thursday and Friday nights ?or the benefit at the Ladies' Guild ot Emmanuel church, was a pronounced success. Mr. John Wilson Dodge, un­ der whose direction the opera was staged, certainly used great tact in the assignment of the cast and every part was handled, by the players aa If they had been to the manner born. William Shutters aa “Sir Oliver” won round after round ot applause in hla various appearances as the hen pecked husband and Madge C. Brayton as his wife did the hen-peck act so well that some of the men who were present actually shuddered In their seats. The Misses Leva Castoleln and Frances Burch as “ the two charming daughters” carried their parts with so much skill that they were heartily ap­ plauded at. every appearance. Sydney Shipman and Harry Sparks, In love with the two charming daugh­ ters, exemplified the love making art in a manner that gave evidence ‘of much study or previous experience along that line. Ira Peck as “Bob­ kins, Sir Oliver's secretary," proved a real comedian and his local hits de­ lighted everybody. Miss Ruth Weiasert, who assumed the title role, handled the assignment with a grace and ease that left no room Cor criticism. During one of bar encores she was presented a beautiful bouquet by some member of the aud­ ience. Her voice seemed especially adapted to the part and her action throughout the play was of a high character, revealing true histrionic ability. Mr. Dodge was so pleased with her actions that he has secured her services as a dlrectreM and will start her out in the near future with power to produce the charming little opera in some of the cities or villages of Michigan. Mr. Dodge who essayed the role of “Prince Leo” again sang his way Into the hearts of our citizens and his realistic love-making in the second and third acts showed him no novice at the art. Mrs. Milton Brown aa the “Fairy Godmother" haudled her assignment very nicely and the young people who took part in the various choruses did the parts assigned them so gracefully that tlie memories of the opera will long linger in tho hearts of those who heard and saw It. , The Ladies' Guild will realize a handseme sum, as their share of the proceeds and wish to thank all who contributed in any way in making the affair so successful.

Hal) of Indianapolis gave a very interesting lecture at the Odd Fellows hall Sunday afternoon. He Is very positive in bls statements, but kindly considerate of the views of others. His opening remarks were: "Our heart’s desire is to assist all who are seeking to odd more of the knowl­ edge of God to their live*.” Among other things Dr. Hall said: The world does well to keep up a cheerful outward demeanor—to "drive dull care away" to the beat of It* abil­ ity. Nevertheless, there Is great force and weight in St. Pau)'* word* to the effect that "the whole creation is groaning and travailing In paia to­ gether. waiting” for Messiah’s king­ dom and It* long promised blessings to lift the curve of sin and death and to restore to mankind the smile of the Father's favor. Reason though they may that there Is no personal God— that there is merely a blind God of na­ ture, an evolutionary force, etc., nev­ ertheless, deep down In the heart, men believe that there is a God. Almost unconsciously the mind attribute* to Him wisdom, justice and power—but little of love or sympathy with human­ ity and it* frailties. This very Intuitive knowledge of God I* closely associated with many human troubles. The root of nearly every trouble, perhaps deep below the surface, is *ln—disobedience to recog­ nized principle* of righteousness, and a fearful looking for of retribution, and uncertainty a* to what It will mean. This is true, not only of many Christians, but frequently true also of others who have made no profession, who have taken upon ‘them no solemn vows of obedience. In our troubles we, sooner or later, realize the lack of human sympathy, or at least It* impotency. Feeling our helplessness, we instinctively look to our Creator. In the hour of trouble remarkably few doubt the existence of God. Ab Jesus said, "Ye believe in God." But as wc look to the Almighty for protection and consider divine justice and realize our own weakness­ es and shortcomings, the heart of man toils. We realize that we arc un­ worthy of any favor from God. MADE IT MATTER OF RECORD Mark Twain Bound to Satisfy Hit Bsttsr Half That H* Had Obeyed Hsr Injunction.

Dennis, I c.r. fiild, H. H. Snyder, Business Manager. PkhUshed Every Thursday at Hartings, Michigan. 4» A Grand Stand Play. H. Olin Young, the U. P. congress­ man, who last fall was defeated by William J. McDonald, progressive, made a grand stand ptay at "resign­ ing" bis seat. Young knew last fall he waa not elected, but as a good re­ publican he hung on, expecting the law’s delay would allow him at least a year more, at a greater salary than he could command elsewhere. But things have changed in congress. No longer can a contested seat be used to give contestor and contestee a con­ gressional salary, for a yea* or more, and H. Olin realized that he would be unseated, and hto seat given to Mc­ Donald who was elected notwithstand­ ing the partisan ruling of both the state election commission and the su­ preme court. The fact that there is a democratic majority in the lower house of con­ gress is tdie incentive ot the “great" display ot well feigned honor. The majority could have no political choice between the two men; both are . republicans, one a reactionary, the other a progressive. But fair play was bound to be the guiding motive to a decision. If Mr. Young had been so anxious for fair play as he professes, and he had fault to find With the law, why waa be not present at Lansing point­ ing out the delinquency of the elec­ tion laws? Why did he hold to the office until after the April elections? ’Hta assumed honesty will not catch the votes of his constituency In the twelfth district or appeal to progres­ sive voters of Michigan.

Charley Has a Vision and Forthwith Writes Some More Pioneer History. The story of tho cannon, recently so generously donated to this city, by Mrs. Nathan Barlow and son Royce, as published in the Banner last week, was one of -the purest pieces of rot ever Invented* by an “Injun historian." This is a dry' county and probably accounts for the pipe dream vision of “Big Injun Charley." Tbe “can­ non" donated to the city was a far different "onImai" from the popgun of pioneer days over which there was so much controversy, "befo de wah, sah." The truly pioneer cannon, cared for by Zeb Scldmore and Ben Cotant, was a little dumpy thing almost as broad as long, and at a succeeding July 4th celebration to the Orangeville-Middle­ ville war, was being fired, for assist­ ance to the greatest celebration Hast­ ings had ever had. was blown to piece* by a premature discharge, Bedford (not Obld) McClellan losing hto thumb and a man by the name of Holmes losing an arm. Tbe ramrod was found on Kenfield hill, and a piece of the cannon landed in Dr. Wm. Up­ john’* yard on Broadway. Hastings was without a cannon un­ til 1873 when Nathan Barlow brought tbe historic armament of a Yankee privateer over which “Injun Charley" has so copiously gushed in his effort to "*coop”tbe Journal-Herald.

This brings to mind one of the “swapping” incidents just before the battle of Kenesaw. There was noth­ ing doing on the front, when a Yankee sang out “Hello, Johnnie, meet me half way to swap papers and tobacco for coffee." Out went the Johnnie and Yank, and after the exchange was agreed upon, the rebel had to go to the Yankee picket reservs to complete the trade. Just then the right wing of the union ^rmy made a sortie on the left wing of the enemy, and firing be­ came general along the whole front, but the firing ceased almost as sud­ denly as it began. (Those who are 'familiar with war will understand thh kind of warfare). . Of course the rebels thought their somrade was a victim of a Yankee trick, but soon they saw a boy in blue wave bis hat, and called out not to shoot; then he with tbe boy in gray approached the rebel line, saying iaughirtfcly, “I came to bring your Johnnie back, I guess you thought we were going to keep him.’’ A pleas­ ant minute of chat and the union sol­ dier returned to hto post of duty. In­ cidents. like the above and they -were actus) happenings, could be told of the armle» of the east or west, for it must be remembered, "Tbe noblest and the bravest" sod honor was as dear to the soldier whether in blue or gray, as It to today In civil occupations. One more of the stories will suffice for this week. At the battle of Winchester in 18G4, Gen. Gordon found five of bis crack Georgian regiment huddled in an old well where they had gone to escape a heavy artillery fire which was raking the ground about them. Gordon or­ dered them out and wanted tc know ■what in hades they were doing there? One of them replied that the well had just been cleaned out and they were waiting Tor the water to rise.

This plant may be distinguished from the eelgrass, which lives In brackish or salt water, by the fact that its leaves grow in bundles from the root stock, while those of eelgrass arise singly and alternate on opposite sides of the stem. The flowers of wild celery are pecu­ liar. The staminate flowers attached at tbe base of the plants shed pollen, which floats on the surface of the wa­ ter and fertilizes the pistillate flower.

This is the amount the crime of overcapi­ talization, or watered stocks, costs every American family! This statement flows easily from the pen, but It can be best demonstrated by a little arithmetic. Various prominent financial stu­ dents and authorities are responsible for tlie statement, and their conclu­ sions are wholly sustained by reporta of the United States commission and the published figures of tlie national corporation tax returns, that about $3€,000,000,009 of the stocks of our in­ dustrial or tariff trusts, represents only water. On this stock, dividends of about 81,500,000,000 are being paid yearly amounting to approximately 818 a per­ son or nearly $100 an American fam­ ily! This $1,500,000,009 Is not picked up out of the streets. Where, then, does it come from? The answer Is: from the pockets of the consumers. There Is not a dollar of “waler" or Inflation in tlie capitalization of corporations which deal In commodities, or In rail­ road or other public service corpora­ tions, that does not impose burdens upon tlie consumers and producers of this country. The above figures, which may be ac­ cepted as fairly conservative in view of tlie fact that United States Senator LaFollette and various other students of the question assert that the amount of watered stock Is more than double the amount estimated above, mean this: That the average family In this country Is paying a tax of 8100 a year in supporting the over-capitalization of our industries. Can there remain any doubt, then, as to over-capltallzation’e being one reason, a sister rea­ son to high tariff, for the ever increas­ ing cost'of living? Watered stock is not only one of the prime causes for Increased prices of commodities but It to also an import­ ant cause of the present unsatisfactory condition of labor. To pay these divi­ dends on watered stock, the trust mag­ nates must either hold down wages abnormally low. or raise price* arti­ ficially high. Tbe tact to they are do­ ing both. Over-capitalixatlon, therefore, is ob­ viously one of the most important problems confronting the American people today. Politicians, for some reason, refer to it lew than they should. The subject ought to be one ot the foremost political issues. Five hundred glaring illustrations of the crime of over-capitalisation could be cited. They would average like this: The Chicago A Alton was capitalized at $30,000,000. When turn­ ed over to the purchasing syndicate in 1899 It was capitalized ut 894,000.­ 000. The people are not going to forever permit the Perkins’ and the Morgan's and other financiers to strap upon their backs the burdens of these enor­ mous over-carpltallxatious, which con­ stitute one of the principal causes of the Increase in the coat of living.

GUINEAS ARE HARD TO RAISE fully Until Prat Trader Age -Of Very Wild Nature. Goines hens are among the hardest or all birds to breed, chiefly becaara the young gotoea to no extremely toofrom the hea it may ba eoutM ra tost. It to advisable to keep tbe youg gulraas shut up for a few days after they are hatched and feed them on occasionally a hard-boiled egg, ground fine and mixed with tbe bread crambe. After they leave the hen. If the days are warm and bright, they are allowed to hunt bugs and worms and require little feeding. After they are feath­ ered out they need little care, as they are able to shift for themselves until the winter cuts off their supply of food. In winter they must have a shelter and be fed the same as other poultry, but must be kept shut in when there is snow on the ground, as they will fly Into the tops of trees or on roofs of buildings, and refuse to come down.

It to true that there is nothing quite as good for the hens aa a growIng crop, such as rye, over which they can range and thus combine exercise with food getting, and every effort riiould be made to provide it, but often space is too limited for such crops, and dependence must be had altogether on substitutes that can be stored away. j la-Cut-AUn.

( Over in Brooklyn there's a woman who does quite a business in cats. She makes considerable pin money out ot them. Her husband owns several apartment houses. A few weeks after arrival a new tenant Is presented with a cat—not a fussed up cat with a yard of pedigrees, just an ordinary cat picked off the street or any place. Maybe the tenant doesn't care for eats, or that particular kind of eat Rut th* tenant thinks “What a nice landlady, what a kind landlady,” and takes tbe oat, for the landlady has a very nice ■ay with her, is very pretty and makaa quit* an impression.

Carmangny, May 8, 1913. 1 think In the articlb I sent you Ip December I promised to send you something in regard to my new home, Cftiroangay. My cousin and myself came here on Dec. 31st. We came ria Lethbridge getting into that cHy of 12,090 population Just ns they were welcoming in the New Year. 1913, and I can tell you they were giving it a royal welcome. The night was cold and a storm blowing and in spite of all this, every whistle was blowing, bells ringing, band playing—a general uproar. The streets were lined with people and to me it was a very unus­ ual sight, as everybody seemed to be Infected with the spirit of good fellow­ ship and as a whole It was one exper­ ience long to be remembered. NewYear's day we spent In Lethbridge, sat down <o a six o'clock dinner at the Hotel Lethbridge with as fine a menu as you would get at the Pantlind1 in Grand Rapids. On Monday morning we came to take over the only drag business in Carmangay under the firm name of Finley A Follis. • Carmangay la situated 30 miles north of Lethbridge on the Carman­ gay branch of the C. P. Ry« and was named after a gentleman by the name of Carman and his wife, who eras a Miss Gay, the daughter of Mr. Gay of the firm of Berkey, G*y * Co. of Grand Rapids. The Carmans spend most of their time in Grand Rapids and Chi­ cago. Mr. Carman has a ranch here of 3,009 acres besides a great number of town properties. In a talk I had ■with him while he was here a short time ago he told me to compare 3-year old Canpangay with 40-year old Cale­ donia. Quite a contrast. Carmangay, three years old, has a population of SOO and is situated tn me of the greatest grain belts in the world. Be­ sides wheat, oats and flax are grown in abundance, and now they are go­ ing extensively into mixed farming, cattle and horse raising. They have as fine stock in this country as you would wish to see anywhere. A gen­ tleman drove up and hitched In front of the store the other day and I step­ ped out and asked him bow much the team was worth. He told me he had paid 32,200 for them. Everything is the best or they won’t have It at all. Cows bring 1125 each and no doubt that seems quite a price to you. The average wheat yield per acre ta about 25 to 35 bushels and oats «0. The railing of hay in this rictalty is still In its infancy, but alfalfa has and ta being eown with fine results and be­ fore long will be gone In for quite ex­ tensively. Bo far this spring we have ‘ sold formalin, which is a preparation in which they soak their wheat Just before sowing <o prevent smut, enough to treat 58,000 bushels of wheat which will sow about 50.000 acres of grain. Some farmers in this district are put­ ting over 2,000 acres of crop, one man here sowing as much grain as all the farmers In the Hastings district put together. Yon know this country Is one mt prairie, almost level ns far as the eye can reach and without a tree, but very fertile and seemingly inexhaustible- One sight I often see here and which appears wasteful to me ta the burning of the straw. I have quite often look&i put and seen a» many as seven or eight stacks burning, which would bring as high ns 335 a piece. Everything in the working of a ranch is done with machinery and you would be surprised to see some of the things in that line that are used here. They plow, sow and harrow at the awn* time, the whole outfit being drawn by a steam engine. In dipplug time they all go shares and have a common dipping vat. They round up all their cattle and put them In a cor­ ral from where they are driven out into the vats and are forced to swim through the dipping solution lu order to get out. Our town ie well lighted with elec­ tricity and has a good water works system, a tine school building. Metho­ dist and Episcopalian churches and two fine banks and they tell roe the Canadian banking system is second to none in the world. The Bank of Com­ merce, situated across the road from us, is capitalised at 315,000.000 and has Its. head office in Toronto. The local branch, with which we do our business, employs six clerks and they have a cross checking system which would seem to make errors and short­ ages Impossible. The teller has charge of the cash and the ledger clerk -the books and tn that way Peep­ ing tab on each other all the time. We have a very good hotel, a regular gold HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, MAY 22.1913. mine, as all hotels are In this country, and you see as many strangers in this town as you would in Hastings. We have a weekly paper, The Carmangay Sun, edited by A. E. Quayle, a very newy* elght-page paper, and he does all in his power to further the interest of the town and the community. We have one physician. Dr. W. E. Bryans, who was to the manner born and is always on the job; two hardware men and a number of general stores, two lumber yards, and a good picture show. Last but not least we have four elevators, anyone of them having a ca­ pacity equal to double that of ours in Hastings. You can get some Idea of their business when I tel] you they shipped 1,000,000 bushels of grain last season. The worst drawback we have is the lack of cars for shipping. Do we have a city government? Cer­ tainly. A mayor and council who are thoroughly alive to the needs at the town and are boosting it all the time. We also have a very wide awake board of trade, which Is affiliated with the associated boards of trade of southern Alberta. We have just had our Prov­ incial election, io elect members to the Provincial legislature and our mayor, Jas. McNaughton, a liberal, was electContlnued on page three. PIONEER SCHOOL GIRLSJEET AGAIN FOR NINTH TIME THEY HELD ANNUAL GATHERING LAST THURSDAY. Enjoyed Ssmptao** Dinner at Home of Mrs. Jeanie Btehblns and Good, Old Fnsbfoned Visit. The ninth annual meeting of the Pioneer School Girls of Hastings met with Mrs. Jennie Morgan Stebbins May 15th, 1913. There were eighteen of the “Auld Girls’’ present The out of town members were Mrs. Jennie Lee of Middleville, Mrs. Ella Morrison of Muskegon and Mrs. Mary E. MiHer (Mollie Foote) of Lafayette, Col. We have never had the pleasure of greet­ ing Mrs. Miller at our meetings before and am very sure the pleasure was mutual. After the usual handshakings and greetings, we were called to order by the president. The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting, and gave us our financial standing, which tallied with the treasurer's report and showed us we were in a good financial condition. Instead of electing officers for next year the “girls" Just declared the old officers remain Just the same excepting Mary Geer for correspond­ ing secretary in the place of Adelaide Cook- Were too hungry to vote any way for at the first call we were all ready to get in the dining room where a bounteous feast was spread and prepared by the “Girls'* and the hostess. There were dainty bouquets for each sent by Mrs. Jason McEl­ wain In memory of Emily Evans Mc­ Elwain, one of the school girls of 1852-3. Since our hist meeting there liave seven of us passed to the “Great Beyond.” Not dead ns the world calls dead, Only -passed from night to morn. And the good deeds they have done Are bright jewels in their crown. Our meeting this year was very in­ formal. without any program and very little business. Just on old time visit Mrs. Miller Invited us all to meet with her next year at her Colorado home but I fear it is a little too tar wway, so we accepted Mrs. Morrison's very cordial invitation to meet with ter in June, 1914. She promising us a good old fashioned dinner with ail the strawberries and cream we could eat. Then came Jimmy Mason and took the “Girls”’ pictures, together with the ladles who so kindly assisted Mrs. Stebbins in the dining room. After handshaking and goodbyes we each wended our way tome to think over the good times we used to have “Long, long ago" and the pleasant time we had had today. Directors’ Meeting.

EDUCATION AMONG MORMON OF UTAH SOON AFTER REACHING THEIR NEW HOME, THE SECT ESTAB­ LISHED FREE SCHOOL SYSTEM. Interest lag Aceeuat sf Hastings Lady’s Visit to Salt Lake City and Its Unique Institutions. The following paper was prepared And read by Mrs. Mary Dennis before the eighth grade History class in the city school* last Wednesday: Historical Mormonism on Educatlon, written by Mrs. Mary Dennis, and past and present interesting ex­ tracts given by Sirs. Katharine Mul­ holland, of Hastings, Mich., on her visit to Sait Lake City in October, 1910. The first school in Utah was opened just three months after the advent of the Mormon pioneers Into the val­ ley of the Great Salt Lake and from that time to the present schools have been maintained and libraries es­ tablished. The first legislative act passed by the first legislature of the territory of Utah was for the establishment and building of roads and bridges. The second act was for the mainten­ ance of schools. In 1850 the Uni­ versity of Utah was opened under the patronage of Brigham Young and the people. It was the first uni­ versity established west of the Mis­ souri river and in a few years it had a library that would grace a modern college. The school system of Salt Lake Qty is controlled by the board of education, consisting of ten mem­ bers, half of whom are elected by the people every year. There are thirty schools In the city in whica one hundred and thirty teacher* are employed at a yearly cost of about 3100,000. The schools are free and education compulsory. All branches of a com­ mon school are taught. In connec­ tion also with the public schools Is maintained a flourishing high school which prepares pupil* for college. The Young Ladles’ Mutual Improve­ ment Association was organised by Brigham Young in 1869, the first association being among his own daughters. This association also number* over thirty thousand girls and has thousands of books In its libraries. August 29th, 1877, when Brigham Young died he left a fortune of two million dollars to seventeen wives and fifty-six children. Just fancy the old time Mormon apostles, bishops, elders and warriors myohing with from five to twenty wives and from twenty-five to seven­ ty-five children apiece. Grand Rapids, Mich., March 29th. 1913, after months of group study of the question, two hundred and fifty members of the Women’s Missionary Social Union of Grand Rapids, includ­ ing delegates from a score of denomi­ nations took a vigorous stand against what they declared to be the evils of Mormonism, and by format action opened a campaign, both local and national In scope, believing that polygamy had never been officially abolished. The following is an account of Mrs. Mulholland's visit at Salt Lake City in 1910: One of the first indications of Mor­ monism that one sees on arriving in Salt Lake City is the monument at the intersection of two main streets commemorating the journey into Utah of the Mormon*. On this monu­ ment 1* inscribed a brief history, til­ ing of the battles with Indians, the loss of men and women and the num­ ber who safely arrived under the leadership of Brigham Young. The famous Temple and Tabernacle of the church are located in an en­ closure known as Temple Square. The temple is built of granite which was drawn many miles by ox teams from the quarries. It was forty years in building and cost four million dol­ lars. What a monument to the faith that these people had in their leader and his teachings! This building was once opened to the public at Its com­ pletion. but now only the members of the church in good standing are allowed to enter. Each male member of the society enters only after nn approved examination of the elder, which is held in an ante-chamber, an outside building connoted with the temple by an underground passage. At noon each week-day an organ recital Is given. This is one of the great organs of the world. It has five thousand pipes, the shortest one inch In length and the longest on? thirty-two feet When I heard the organ I thought there must be a choir of wonderful voices hidden from the audience. Such exquisite melody and marvelous power poured forth. The acoustics of this building are considered perfect The faintest whisper from the pulpit can be heard in the farthest gallery. The guide who took us through was a mnn Ju the seventies. He said he had had five wives aod twenty-two children. One of the party, a bright old Irish woman from Cincinnati, asked him if 'he thought he could do Justice to such a family in the way of education and if he loved each wife and child equally. He replied, “Do not you as a mother love each child equally?" She answered that she had always noticed that the love of a husband for his wife was of a different quality than that of the mother for her chil­ dren. The evidence of plural wive* is seen in many houses 'having from three to seven doors opening on a porch. Continued on page three.

Quite u number of persons seem to have forgotten this provision of the law and are seen driving about our streets and roads with no lights of any kind. Sheriff Williams lias asked the Journal-Herald to sound a note of warning to all who have been violating the law In this matter and to state that the practice must be stopped at once. Failure to have your auto lighted at night will be considered sufficient cause for arrest and the sheriff informs us that he will resort to that process unless auto owners see to it that their autos are lighted at night time. There bave been several calls al­ ready this season a* a result of un­ lighted auto* and Sheriff Williams be­ lieve* in stopping the practice before any fatalities occur. Auto owners should take this tip and see to It that henceforth their autos or other pow­ er vehicles are properly lighted before night fall. 10 HIM IIP lynpiK IMPORTANT MOYE MADE IN THAT DIRECTION BT METHODIST BROTHERHOOD. The .HleUgnn Central . RalDwTs Landienpe Gardener Wfll be Her* ta Hand Oat Rngytstisas. The Methodist Brotherhood had another one of their excellent meet­ ing* last Monday evening and had a veritable feast of good thing* to eat and good thing* to enjoy. The en­ tertainment feature of the occasion was a story telling contest in which quite a number of our citizens were contestant*. Will Chase carried off the honor* by a particularly interact­ ing story. Postmaster John Ketcham also gave a splendid address on “Agriculture.*' A feature of the evening and one which at once appeal* to every citi­ zen in the community was a move­ ment started to clean up' and beauti­ fy the city park. The Brotherhood appointed Tuesday, May 27th, a* the day to be set aside for the work and all brotherhood members and every other citizen who is interested in a more beautiful city, should make it a point to be there at eight o'clock to assist in the work. The Michigan Central Landscape gardener is expected here on that day to give valuable pointer* on en­ hancing the beauty of the park. Fol­ lowing is the call issued by the park committee of the Brotherhood: At the Monday evening meeting of the Methodist Brotherhood it was voted that the Brotherhood, and all patriotic citisens who appreciate a city beautiful, meet at the park on Tuesday morning. May 27tb, at eight o’clock for the purpose of making some very necessary improvements thereto. Everybody is requested to bring a hammer and saw and come prepared to lend a hand in thl* com­ mendable movement Don't tall to be there if you 'possibly can. J. K. Frandsen, J. T. Lombard, W. A.

In these days, of course, the average man has better opportunities to win success In sal­ aried positions than in individual en­ terprises.

J �■MTWCg Will FINLEY WRITES HOOT HEW HONE Continued from page one. ed by one of the largest majorities of any constituency In the province. There are two dominating parties, the liberal which is some what akin to the democrats in the stales, and the con­ servatives like the republicans. The province is at present In the hands ot the liberals and they use about the same tactics here as they do down there. Some of them get pretty warm under the collar. When the news of the election came In the supporters of McNaughton got the band and formed a torchlight brigade. They went to the house, loaded him Into an open buggy and drawn by about twenty men they paraded around the town with a yoke of oxen tied behind. About a dozen autos brought up the rear. After the parade he delivered u speech across the street from our store to the crowd that had gathered and the festivities wound up with what we would call n wild west show. The cow boys of the surrounding country came In and rode through the streets lassoing each oth­ er, riding hurdle and giving,us a true illustration of the western spirit. All in all it was a fine sight Do we have sports? I should say so. Baseball galore and the club have a balance of $300 to their credit now. We also have two fine tennis courts where the game is played every fine afternoon. Also skating and hockey in the winter. I forgot to mention something about the ravages the gopher cause* to the crops here. They are as numerous as fties and all kinds ot means are re­ sorted to In their extermination. We will sell between two and three hun­ dred ounce* ot strychnine alone in one season for tliat purpose, besides large quantities of different manufactured gopher poisons. What about the climate? Delight­ ful, February Hke May. Only saw three sleighs last winter. The ther­ mometer registered as low a* 42 be­ low at times and still you don’t mind it any more than 10 or 12 at home. We are two thousand feet above the sea level and the atmosphere I* very dry and pure. There is only one class of people that the country or rather the climate is not adapted to, those with weak heart*. We are 120 miles from the Rocky Mountains and can see them any time. Who are the people? Almost every state in the union represented here tie well as the various nation*, Chi­ nese, Japanese, etc. Yes, you find the whole bunch. Hastings is well repre­ sented; there is a Mr*. Baskerville, the wife of a very prosperous ranch­ er, who used to be a Mias Nagler of Freeport and a teacher in the Hast­ ings schools; Mr. and Mrs. Olmstead. Mr*. O. being a daughter at Mrs. Cum­ mings of Hastings, and another Olm­ stead who married a -Miss Henry of Carlton. We have a good hospital and In our store *we have a circulating li­ brary of over 700 volumes. Also keep on sale the latest and best periodical* and ttagasine* and have a wonderful ■ale ou them. We also have the Alta Government Telephone exchange, the receipt* for last month being over 14*0. Of course the cost of living is very high but labor is well paid for. I presume you will think thl* i* a lot of hot air but If you don’t believe it come out and see. 1 shall go to Cal­ gary, the metropolis, of the province, soon, where property value* are high­ er than in New York or Chicago and where millionaire* spring up like mushrooms. Will write you some­ thing of that city in the near future that may be of interest to you. They are at present erecting a million and a half dollar hotel and they certainly do everything in their power to boom the town. I notice with pleasure the many Im­ provement* you are making in Hast­ ings, and think in a short time it will certainly be the city beautiful. Am sorry I cannot be there to attend your fine Chautauqua and the_ many other good things that are the" lot of those -who live there. Would I advise any. one to come here to live? No, not the man of means, but the young man who has hi* fortune to make and is willing to work and keep hl* head—come. There are grafter* here the same as any other place and the westerners «re quick to act, take long chances and abide by the results whatever they are. But the opportunities arc great and Bdll you know all depends on the crops. God has been very beneficent the past two seasons, rain and sun­ shine have been meted out to them plentifully. Towns aro built up on the strength of one good crop und go to the bad when there Is a failure. The northwest is one gigantic gamble and 1ms Wall street beat a mile.

Decoration and Memorial Day liuti come to mean more to (he American people than any other day set apart tor paying tribute to patriotism. It is a day tliat recall* sacred memories. These memories become more sacred with even' added year, because the ranks of the Grand Army ot the Re­ public aro becoming thinner and thinner. Tliose who are with us now will soon Join the Grand Army of the Dead. To the earlier Decoration Day* have been added new memories of thousand* of Spanish American War veterans who laid down their lives for a more glorious America. Let She people of Michigan make next Decoration Day the most beau­ tiful in all her history, This should not be a day for recreation and amusement but rather a day for con­ secration. Flowers for the dead be­ token a kindly spirit, but flowers for the living of the Grand Army of the Republic are an expression of love and valor. The thirtieth of May is set apart for appropriate exercises in every school house and church in Michigan whereby our boy* and girls may be encouraged to cherish an abiding love for both our heroic dead and our heroic living. Therefore. I. Woodbridge N. Ferris, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby issue this my proclamation and heartHy urge the observance ot Friday, May 30, 1913, as Decoration and Memorial Day. Given under my band and the Great Seal of the State, this eighth day of May, in -the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, and of tlie Commonwealth the sev­ enty-seventh.

How many of them will pass cannot be stated until the examin­ ing board has looked over tide papers and given them their proper mark­ ings. The question^ are prepared by the state department of public in­ struction and are uniform throughout the state. Some of the question*. It seem* to u*, while not particularly difficult, are hardly such a* a boy or girl twelve to fourteen years old could be expected to answer, and it is likely that the examiners will take thl* fact into consideration in marking the papers. Just to Illustrate, here are a few of the questions which these young­ sters were called upon to answer. How would you, dear reader, with all your Intelligence and wisdom, Hke to be confronted with such question* a* these: “Tell about the growth of slavery In the United State*.”. “Give ten reason* why you would rather live under present conditions than In colonial days.” “What suffrage rights have woman In Michigan.” “Tell how a township election is conducted." “Tell the process by which a for­ eigner become* a citlsen of the United States.” “How doe* a territory become a state?” “Illustrate with words and diacri­ tical marks five sounds of o.” •Give three uses for the apos­ trophe." “Write a letter to someone In the city telling about some work or other activity concerning which he knows little.” “Write a brief dialogue using quo­ tation marks, proper punctuation and paragraphing." No*-, we submit whether these chil­ dren, In reason, should be expected to have enough acquisition of fact, ex­ perience and judgment, or *nch com­ mand of language and even literary ability as to answer many of these questions; and we should be pleased to know whether the department of public instruction at Lansing regards such questions as n fair test of the preparedness of eighth graders for high school work. It should be borne in mind that (here are ten questions in each sub­ ject, which must be answered within a limited time. Alexander Dumns said duty la something ihut we esiwt from others.

TBI BSB tT, MAT g, 1>IX EDUCATION AMONG MENS OF UTAH Continued from page one. These doors indicate the number of wives who once dwelt in these Mor­ mon houses. After polygamy was abolished in Utah, congress provided a large sum of money with which was built a home for the surplus wives who might have a home and maintenance upon appli­ cation. It is said that no applications for admittance were ever made. 1 think that the building is now used for an apartment house. The Mor­ mon society have many fine public buildings, a two million dollar hotel, fine schools and an immense depart­ ment store. Little wonder such vast sums of money can be expended, for each Mormon Is compelled to pay onetenth of Ids income for tithes. The collector of the tithes has a flue residence furnished him; also the tithing house Is a fine structure. Brigham Young built many famous houses In Salt Lake City. One of the oldest houses standing In the city was the home of the first wife. The wives of later years must have been more favored than No. 1, as Indicated by the quality and size of the house. On the same street is the Bee Hive house, so called from the gilded Bee Hive which serves as a cupola. This is now used as the residence of the president of the church. Joseph Smith. A little farther down the street* Is a Lion House, now used a* an office of the president Thl* was once oc­ cupied by Brigham Young and several of his wives. It has a common living and dining room where once a day the family all assembled. Each wife bad separate sleeping apartment* for herself and children. Directly across the street from the Bee Hive liouse I* the Amelia house, built and named for the favorite wife, Amelia Folsom, a cousin of France* Cleveland Preston. Here all notable men of church and state were entertained. In the center of the residence dis­ trict i* the little cemetery which con­ tain* the grave* of Brigham Young and two of hi* wive*.

Tke Trahl.m k, be W.rkf* O.L It is now up to the United States democratic senators, whether they represent beet and cane sugar, wool, steel, lumber or textiles, rather than states. This Is the situation at Wash­ ington. The reform tariff bill l» now In the hands of the senate committee, whose deliberations are not to be pub­ lic. There are democrat senators who come from democratic states, where sugar Interests- will be affected by the free sugar clause of the tariff bill. There are other interests which are affected, viz.: wool, lumber, meats and cloth*, and these too have their rep­ resentatives In the senate. The sena­ tors representing states affected by the different schedules, to some ex­ tent, will now have to choose between serving the people or the Interests controlling the articles over which a controversy will follow, when the sen­ ate committee reports the bill. Democratic senators representing reliably democratic states will not long retain seat* if they are foolhardy enough to prefer the bribe of the In­ terests to the commendation of their voting constituents. The democratic party made a distinct platform, une­ quivocally pledged to a reduction of tariff schedules, in furtherance of an effort, to reduce, so far as such action could, the high cost of living. In oth­ er words tbe interest* ot the great body of consumers were to be consid­ ered. To run counter to this pledge, accepted and indorsed by the elector* of 1912, is to bid defiance to the demo­ cratic platform; to run counter to the will of the president, backed as he to by the will of hto party, and of those not voting for him, but anxious to have the pledge carried out. The irrepressible conflict between corporate interest* and the common people is as strenuous now as when W. H. Seward declared this country could not stand “half slave and half free.” Ninety millions of people are dally wanting food and rafanent Less than ten million* of people are stand­ tag between the producer and the con­ sumer reaping the profits of produc­ tion by subtle manipulation of tariff schedules and robbing the consumer for another profit by enhancement of protective, well nigh prohibitive, tar­ iff on manufactured good* and,trans­ portation charges.

Tbe vote in Michigan this spring was to be a test vote and tbe progressive leaders made special effort, in fact apparrmUy the only effort to get the vote out The loos of 90,000 votes in so short a time indicated that what­ ever the cause of the phenomenal vote last November Its fury spent itself in that rote. For the most part, the vote con be attributed to resentment at the action of the standpat republican leaders wbo overrode all -opposition to machine politics. The action at the national conven­ tion which nominated Taft was domlaated- by delegates who represented ■a constituency, no electoral votes, ?o prestige as to party influence. They were, in most part, tools of the de­ signing leaders, who presumed upon the great majority of republican vot­ ers to carry them through. In this they were greatly mistaken, and the vote which went to the erratic ex­ president was the protest of what merged into a progressive party, shadfly like, ended Its existence al­ most a* soon as begun. The move­ ment was directed against the Taft ^ministration and not against any re­ publican party policy or vital laeue as between the democratic party and the republican. It 1s true there were democrats who joined the progressive party, but they had very little to do with its manage­ ment or direction. The democratic platform and the democratic administration cover the ground sought to be covered by the new party. In the new Alignment of next year and tbe next presidential election, there will be a choice of pro­ gressive or standpat policies, upon political which the ' "" ' diviaion will be made. The Mexico Situation. Huerta regime, The ----------_ . which rose on treachery and murder to dictatorship in Mexico, 1* acting saucily toward Uncle Sam because the Wilson admin­ istration refuses to recognize that government Huerta Is threatening to send back the credentials of Am­ bassador Henry Lane Wilson. This seems surprising, since Henry Lane was always a pretty good friend of Huerta. Almost before the body of the assassinated Madero was cold, Henry Lane Wilson was solemnly as­ suring the Taft state department that the deposed president was shot while trying <o escape. There is, however, as usual, a col- ere< I person In the wood pile. As long as President Wilson refuses to recog­ nize the red handed Huerta, the latter worthy will be unable to market his government bonds hi New York, and thus cannot raise money to put down the growing rebellion in the north of Mexico. If Henry Lane Wilson were recall­ ed. however. It would necessitate the appointment of a new ambassador, and a new ambassador has to 'be accredit­ ed to the government of the country to which ho is sent. This would com­ pel the United States to recognize Hu­ erta. It’s a pretty little plan, and has a good deal of support in Wall street. Unfortunately for Its success. Presi­ dent Wilson seems disposed to allow Henry Laine to remain dangling be­ tween the devil and the deep sea. Ns Panic Ssjh H11L J. J. Hill, the great Northwestern railroad man, Is derisively scoring the calamity howlers for their pessimistic yeowl about hard times for the farm­ ers. Hill says: "It is capital that Is howling now, and they are crying be­ fore they are hart. 1 do not see how the reduction in tariff Is going to hurt the present prosperous conditions. Men should really wait and see wheth­ er or not they are going to be hurt. The people demanded this change and they are going to have it.” •Mr. Hill says Canada is the best customer of Uncle Sam, the trade of that country to worth more titan all ot Central and South America, Including Cuba. As Hill to normally a republi­ can and one of the greatest railroad magnates of the world, hto words should bave some weight Bo long as calamity howling is confined to repub­ lican reactionaries and predatory In­ terest* the country will not suffer much of a panic. No legitimate busi­ ness will be hurt in tbe lowering of the tariff. It to only tbe dishonest beneficiaries of class legislation who are talking panic. SHUKRIPASHA’SPLEA' Wanted World to Know That He Did Not Surrender Details of Manner In Which Noted Tvritlah Commander Wit Made a Friesner at Adrianople by Victorious Bulgarians. Sofia. Bulgaria.—One of the most In­ teresting incidents of the fell of Adrianople was tbe manner in which Shukri Pasha, the brave defender ot the city, woe captured. When brought to Sofia be emphasised the fact that he did not surrender to, but was cap­ tured by the Bulgarians. His capture, irtoeed, was a romantic one. During those eventful day*. March 24 and 25, upon which the fate of the capital of Thrace was decided, Shukri Pasha's activity was Intense. He was direct­ ing affairs everywhere. When, after a series of most bloody encounter* the victorious Bulgar* of tbe Twenty-third regiment had come to the last Turkish fortification and there was a pause and a wavering for a moment, Lieutenant Colonel Pash!noff, seizing tbe regiment's flag, spurred hl* horse forward, shouting: "My boys, for tbe honor of Bulgaria, for the honor of our army, for tbe hon­ or of tbe Twentyjhird regiment, for­ ward! Follow mev’ These words had a magic effect upob tbe men, and one after another all the forte connected with the Alvas-Baba fell into the hands of the Bulgarians. When the Turkish officials and popu­ lation found out that resistance waa hopeless and that the whole city waa enveloped by ths Bulgarians, they be­ gan to surrender. Lieutenant Colonel Marcholeff, after sending two detach­ ments of his cavalry Into various di­ rections of the city to institute order, started for the government house, where he surprised a large number of the Turkish officials and pashas, among whom w«*e Ismolel Pasha* commandant of tbe city, Rlfaat Pasha, commander of the artn?ery, and oth­ There is no danger of panic among farmers so long as milch cows sell from 175 to 196 each; bee.' cattle at 18.50 per hundred; butter 25c. and “Where to Shukri Pasha?* demanded over; egga 16 to 20c.; corn 50 to 60c., and hog* 8 to 9c. per lb., Hve weight, Marcholeff. “We don’t know,** was the answerand ao ou down the line.

(Puna) Palmer, late Insurance commissioner, is being touted for governor on a republlcan-progreaslve ticket Pub** claim to progressive principle* rests on Ida effort* to pre­ vent the republican party from spill­ ing. When it did split, he let go of the progressive hawser and clung to the old republican ship, and did yeoman service for Taft and the republican state ticket To put him forth as a progressive would make a horse laugh. Even local moosers are ridiculing tbe effort of the soft hearted but well meaning “peace makers," who are try­ ing to bring about a reconciliation be­ tween the votera who supported Taft and those who supported Roosevelt If a peace is brought about It will be by a capture of the republican party machinery. But will that happen? The campaign for 1914 Is really on. Both parties have an active congres­ sional bureau at work. Tbe tariff issue to supposed to be tbe principal bone of contention. Believer in Eugenics. Believers in the vita) Importanoa to the race of more careful mating of tbe s«xes argue that not more than 1 per cant, of the men of any genera­ tion can be called distinguished or especially gifted. They say that ot this little minority of one in every hundred at least half are the children of parents one or both of whom have unquestionable eminence in some field or endeavor, or are otherwise lifted above the powers and gifts of average men. That leaves halt of the notably endowed men of the world to spring from the great mass of ordinary hu­ man beings. If these figures are cor­ rect it follows that the children of dis­ tinguished parents have about one hundred times as good a chance of winning fame or proving great powers aa the children of the commonplace majority.

He was Immediately ted to a •mail annex, in the basement of which Shukri Pasha, together with ten of bls trusted officers, had taken refuge. Colo­ nel Marcholeff, on opening the door ot the underground chamber, at once knew wbo Shukri Pasha was. He first saluted him and then said: "In the name of our royal majesty, the king, I command you to follow me. You are a prisoner!" Shukri Pubs was thunderstruck at the suddenness of the procedure. After recovering from the shock he answered coolly, "1 beg to say that I am not a prisoner, for 1 have sent messengers who hsve not yet re­ turned- I have just sent four more." "It is too tote," was the reply of Colonel Marcholeff. “All of your forts have fallen, your army has been beat­ en at all points and your soldier* and officers bave been made prisoners." On hearing this, Shukri Pasha wept Hke a child. Then he said: "I didn't think the end would come so soon." “Do not be depressed, general," said Colonel Marcholeff. “Your splendid de­ fense <of the city ha* elicited the ad­ miration of the whole world. Come, let us go. The orders are to take you to General Ivanoff." “Kindly wait a minute more," en­ treated the aged man. Meanwhile he sat down and began writing something. On finishing he turned to the colonel and asked him to read what he had written. "You and I are soldiers," he said. "We have our enemies, and I especially sign this paper in which 1 describe how I and my staff vrere captured. Oar enemies may say we have surrendered, when, AUah! I never thought ot surrendering the city." Colonel Marcholeff complied with his request Halt an hour later Shukri Pash* and General Ivanoff met. The Bulgarian general showed tbe great­ est civility ud respect for tbe Turk­ ish commander, telling him that the defense was almost equal to the at tack. "The defense of Adratoople will add great luster to both Bulgarian and Turkish history," declared General Ivanoff. L L the wanted Colors and Fabrics in stylish Summer A .

Some of the senators, who dance when the special interests pull the strings, are giving a surprising exhi­ bition of political agility lu their oppo­ sition to the bill. When the West Virginia republican legislature broke the deadlock by electing Federal Judge Nathan Goff to the United States senate last winter, the action was acclaimed by the stand­ pat press of America as an example worthy to be followed by other states. But what does Senator Goff do in his first speech—a speech in opposi­ tion to Senator Kern’s resolution? His speech, a masterpiece of logic and a gem of rhetoric. Is every word a legal quibble. It was just the sort of speech and the sort of legal logic that is creating among the people a mighty wrath against the courts and lawyers. For yeans talcs of horrors have drifted out of the West Virginia coal fields—stories of peonage, of outraged women, of murdered men, terrorism, suppression of news and free speech, and a population held In bondage to the coal barons. The concrete result can be road in any wage report. West Virginia coal wages are lower than in any other eastern mining district The people want to know, and they have a right to know, what has been going on In West Virginia.

Editor's note—Wm. C. Redfield waa made a cabinet member, os secretary of the department of commerce, by President Wilson, because he is one ot the nation’s experts on the tariff. This article by Secretary Redfield, ex­ plaining for tlie readers of the Joarnal-Herald the tariff bill which liaa been passed by the house of repre­ sentatives and Is now being fought out in the U. S. senate, is, therefore, a re­ markable and timely document. By William C. RcdfieM, Secretary of the United States De­ partment of Commerce. The plain people—the average man —will be benefited by the Underwood tariff bill by the removal of taxation from the ordinary articles of food and use. I have always felt that the republi­ can party took too serious a view of the Canadian hen. I have no doubt she is a very efficient bird, but I have never been willing to admit so great a superiority for the Canadian hen over tbe American hen as to require that the product of the former be taxed to protect the latter. I have never seen any tables to show that the Canadian hen laid so many more eggs a day as to make the American hen afraid of ber. Yet for some unexplained reason, we bave carried a duty on eggs for many years aa though there was something I portentous about the egg-laying abllI idea of the hen across the border. thinking it Is a 'moral ami a mental benefit. it will prevent, because it promotes competition, tho taking of our people Into the power of great combinations, or of great business en­ terprises, whether or not they are combinations. It opens the door suffi­ ciently wide to give a man u chance to buy of somebody at a fair price, and It prohibits American industries charging an unfair price. It does away with the existence of a favored class of producers who have special privileges at the hands of the state which the rest of us do not have. We would look with amusement— or wrath, according to our state of mind—on legislation to provide In­ comes for doctors or fees for lawyers! We have never got to the point where we thought it a proper subject of leg­ islation to provide work for plumber* or carpenters, but there has been a group among us for whom It lias been thought proper tliat the government should provide profits; we have had an arrangement whereby certain man­ ufacturers should have been taken cure of so tliat they could do business advantageously to themselves. This wns on the theory that they would divide with their workingmen, but the workingmen tell another story about that division. Everybody who thinks, knows that the talk of the tar­ iff making wages high Is a joke. Per­ haps it Is more just to say it Is a trag­ edy. The fact is that the great worsted Industry, for example, with its enor­ mous protection, running, up in cases, to more than 100 per cent, has been paying very low wages (while other industries, with far less protection, bave been paying higher wages.) I have seen the products of Amer­ ican factories—shops where wages were good and tariff duties compara­ tively low—sold all over the world, but the history of tbe wool and wor­ sted industry has been to cry ever for more and more duty and ever to keep the wages and the workers down. Every sensible man can see this simple thing, namely: that when we ere selling many forms of manufac­ tured goods abroad at the rate of $5,­ 000,000 every working day (as we are; It is a little bit hard to argue that wo need protection against the people with whom we are thus competing on their own ground. It strikes «ne as a good deal of * sham for anyone to claim that when we are meeting com­ petition in other tends we can't take care of ourselves nt home. When we can sen steel abroad at the rate of $1,000,000 a day, as we are doing, why do we need a duty on the products of the mill? When the Argentine farmer buys American wire cheaper or better than be can get it from England or Germany, why should the American Harmer .pay a higher price because of a duty to protect the American maker of that wire? The core of tbe whole thing comes to this: We want to get back our In­ dustrial self-respect We have been trained in a school of industrial cowardice. We bave been educated to a belief—many of us—in our own Inability to do things ss they ought to be done; that for some reason we are weaker than the rest of the world and bave to have a wall built around us, to shut us In, and the effect has been debaue^ng morally. We have almost come to believe that the gov­ ernment existed In large part to see that'we did well In business. Order for Publication. State of Michigan, the Probate Cour: for the County of Barry.

Now that duty is cut from 6 cents to 2 cents, and although that does not mean a great earthquake of prosper* Ity all at once it st least removes a tax from a very common article'of food. That does not mesa that our warketa will be flooded with Canadian eggs, for the simple reason that the eggs are not there to do the flooding. It will not affect the farmer at all, but It may affect favorably the retail price of eggs in the great centers ot popu­ lation. And so with other food pro­ ducts made free or reduced. On tlie other hand, the farmer Is particularly benefited by the putting on the free list of many articles ot manufacture which he has to use. These articles are selling In large quantities abroad, so there is no longer any excuse for taxing the American consumer to protect the concerns that make them. So far as the removal of the tax can directly reduce the price, the farmer should be benefited thereby. In fact, the feature of the bill—if one may dis­ tinguish one feature from another—Is the large addition to the free list ot articles of common consumption by all people.

The necessities of com­ merce now demand deeper waterways and larger craft and we have at present the prospect of 600 foot freighters. The cost of transporta­ tion by railroad versus waler was dis­ cussed and the statement made that a ton of freight may be shipped 2000 miles on navigable rivers where H could only be sent 127 miles by rail. Within the past ten years numbers of railway systems have come to’ most of our harbors to carry the farmer’s products to the sea but we have no American vessels to carry the cargo on to the markets of the world. The necessity of some radical changes In the method of getting our produce to foreign markets Is well illustrated by the fact that when navi­ gation closed on the Great Lakes last fall three miles of grain freighters lay stalled in the Buffalo harbor with 53 other vessels outside the harbor waiting the pleasure of foreign car­ riers to forward the produce to Euro­ pean markets and just at this time when there was no recourse what­ ever the foreign carriers raised tbe freight rates.

It was stated tbe Chicago papers have represented that the police of Chicago had receiv­ it, owing to the fact that there are ed a telegram from Hastings, Mich., many other beirs. asking that a search be made for Mies Hawthorne in that city. Tbe story Memerial Services at M. E.

Inquiries at the office of Colgrove & Potter who are attorneys for the heirs of David Blatter, developed the fact that the dally papers have got the matter considerably exaggerated.

'Tbe Law 1* Universally Approved by Railroad and Street Car Op­ erators. The railroad police law is one of the beat the last legislature gave to the state. It make* a police officer of all conductors, on both steam and inter­ urban roads. The owl ears and trains, aa the midnight trains are called, had become a dread to conductors and brakesmen. The law authorises con­ ductors to place any disorderly and drunken person under arrest; to hand them over to any sheriff at any station along the line. It also gives them power to confiscate any liquor on the person or in possession of such drunk or disorderly person. It defines the taking of a drink of liquor or flourish­ ing a bottle or offering a drink to any one as a disorderly act It also gives the conductor or brakeman the right to not allow an Intoxicated person to board any car. 1 The terrible, dangerous and disgust­ ing orgies on midnight trains have prevented people from this city going to many theatrical plays In Grand Rapids and It also has the same deter­ ent effect on people In the cities, where rowdyism and drunkenness are of almost nightly occurrence. The bill for this law was introduced by Representative Ben H. Lee of Grand Rapids, and it was st once in­ dorsed by railroad men. Mr. Lee is a Barry county native, being born In Thornapple township. State Reward Trunk Line Raed. Elsewhere in thia issue of the Jour­ nal-Herald, will be found the text of the “State reward trunk line" good roads law. Barry county Is interested in thin Jaw for one of the important branches of this gridiron of trunk lines leads directly from Battle Creek to Hastings thence on to Grand Rap­ ids, ria Middleville and Caledonia. These trunk line roads are not limited to number of miles each year. The entire distance can be built in one year, or through any one township tn the same length of time. The re­ quirements are simple and easily un­ derstood. The several townships, or that portion interested Ln such a trunk line road may get together and form a “trunk line good roads dis­ trict. State good roods commissioner will make survey, and furnish blue print profile, and then each district composed of one or mor* townships, or fractions, may go ahead, build the road by a subscription or bond, and the state will give double award of the state reward good roads law, vis; 31,000 per mile. The average estimate cost tier mile of this line of rood from Battle Creek to Grand Rapids is 11600. Each township would be liable for not more than 14000 and would have six miles or less of the road, and a* we unde.-stand it cities and villages are to be prorated as to the expense of building. All.lt needs to get this trunk line, practically a boulevard between the two cities In organisation Into dls■ tricts and either by subscription, or bond, or both, provide for the con­ struction. Aa will be seen by refer­ ence to the law. Thornapple river would be crossed but once within the county. The balance of the streams are small and no great outlay for bridges will be necessary. Shall and will the townships of Johnstown, Baltimore and Hastings be the first to organise into one dis­ trict. and Rutland, Irving and Thorn­ apple into another? Who will take the initiatory step? Attended Meeting National Highway Ofitcem. Hon. Philip T. Colgrove was called to Detroit Saturday by a telegram from Hon. J. E. Pennypacker, secre­ tary of the National Highway associa­ tion, asking him to be with the board of directors nt a dinner Satur­ day night at which time the matter of holding the regular annual meeting of the association In Detroit was to be discussed. Mr. Colgrove Is one of the directors of the association and the board were to meet a committee of representative Detroit citizens to talk over the mat­ ter of location. Among those present on the occasion were Hon. L. W. Page, director of the United States office of public roads, who is president of the association; Hon. Lee McClurg, ex­ treasurer of the United States. Vho is treasurer of the association, and Mr. Pennypacker who Is the secretary. The committee decided to hol-l the meeting in the city of the Straits on September 29th. A want ad in the Journal-Herald -will sell your house ar firm. lapertaat Meeting sf Citizens. Tomorrow (Friday) evening a pub­ lic meeting will be held at the court house at 7:30 o’clock which should interest every intelligent, public spirited citizen of Hastings. The meeting has been called by the library commission and the library commit­ tee of the Women’s club for the pur­ pose of considering a very generous proposition far a public library in Hastings. The proposition, made by a gentle­ man who Is interested in the welfare of this city. Is of a character that calks for prompt and favorable action. It appeals to the civic pride of the citizens and ft is to be hoped will re­ sult in the establishment of one of the city's greatest needs, a free public library. Every citizen who can pos­ sibly attend should be at this meeting tomorrow night UUR WHIST PLAYERS WIN THE TROPHY MKT FLATTERING SUCCESS RECENT STATE MEET GRANB RAPIDS. Capture the Third IN AT Loving Cap to Add to List of Previous Laurels Wen. Hastings Whist Club went to Grand Rapids last week In a body and aa usual brought back a volume of honors that again pieces the city of Hastings fairly on the map from a Whist playing standpoint. It is i fact that when our wbisters go into a game the other players might just as well step aside and hand over the trophy because they always land. Following is the list of players who went to the state meet from this city: R. G. Hubbard, Jas. Ironside. C. H. Barber, L. H. Pryor. W. G. Bauer, Albert Werner. C. H. Osborn, J. ,B. Roberts. C. E. Doyle, F. W. Stefcbins, G. Severance. Harry G. Hayes, W. A. Scbader. John Meade, Fred Foster, John Wooton, G. H. Otis and O. Otis. Thursday afternoon the object of Interest to all of the players was the Furniture City Trophy, a beautiful silver loving cup that bod been won by other teams In two other state meets. The Hastings players went after it with a swing that meant de­ feat to all contenders. So vigorously was the play on the part of the Hast­ ings players that two teams, Hubbard and Ironside and Pryor and Barber, and Bauer and Warner and Roberts and Osborn tied for first place. These two teams will play off the tie later on to decide adiose names shall adorn the beautiful trophy which they have won. In the progressive play, Thursday. G. H. Otis and Oscar Otis won top score East and West. In the pro­ gressive play Friday afternoon, Sev­ erance and Hayes won top score East and West. In the Friday night ses­ sion of progressive playing Bauer and Warner won top score North and south, and Hubbard and Ironside and Hayes and Severance tied for top score east and west. W. G. Bauer, playing with Rowlson of Grand Rapids, won top score on Saturday afternoon. The almost phenomenal playing of l he Hastings whlsters puts them In a class by themselves. With the ability to cope with all of the many intricate problems of the game, It is to be hoped that some of our players may be found at the national tournament that con­ venes in Chicago this year. There is nothing too good for the Hastings club and the Journal-Herald would like to see them winners in national contests os well as in state meetings. “Stab- Rigtrs Will De Manager. The managers of our ball team are well pleased with their success in se­ curing V. E. Rogers, generally known to the fans aa “Stub," to manage the team this season. Rogers Is an Alma college star and Is counted as one of the best ball players in the Inter-col­ legiate league. He is to amateurs what Ty. Cobb Is to protesslonale. The Battle Creek league team made him a tempting offer, but he decided In favor of Hastings. Rogers will be In the line-up for to­ morrow's game with Olivet, but will not be with the club regularly until the middle of June. The New Schedule. The C. K. ft 8. have Issued their annual guide. Tills has become n feature of the road, and the “guide" is treasured by all who receive a copy. There Is no railroad line in Michigan, where so easy access to good fishing lakes is to be found and none with a fifty mile stretch, with so many lakes. The Sunday trains will take effect next Sunday. Trains will arrive from Kalamazoo at 8:50 a. m. and 5:05 p. m. Going south trains will leave Hastings at 8:50 a. m. and 5:30 p. m.

Mrs. Isaac Patrick was elected to active member­ ship. The Michigan History lesson was given by Mrs. Young during the business session and Included the de­ tails of the Toledo war, our final ad­ mission to statehood and a review of the work of the four territorial gov­ ernors of Michigan. After a short intermission Mrs. Anna McOmber took charge of the program. The club sang the Michigan State Federation song. Three papers upon Michigan writers were given, first a biography of Stewart Edward White by Mrs. Archie McCoy into which she wove the main points of the best of this author’s books, showing Mr. White’s intimate knowledge of the lumber industry In this state which enabled lilm to make The Biased Trail a book full of Interest to all na­ ture lovers and especially to the pio­ neers among whom his father was numbered. The Riverman is a close parallel to the Blazed Trail and deals to a great extent with actual facts and characters as they were in the days of the great logging Industry at Grand Haven and Muskegon. From Mr. White’s recent trip to Africa we have “The Land of The Footprints'' written In 1912 and dealing with his life In this far country. All of Mr. White’s writings contain In story form a great deal that is very well worth while and although romance and wo­ men characters may be lacking still there Is fascination in every book. Preceding Mrs. Geschvrind’s bio­ graphy of Will Levlngton Comfort tiny Miso Aleta May Sutherland, of Jackson, niece of M, v Geo. Miller, de­ lighted the club with a recitation and when she was enthusiastically en­ cored she sang a little song playing her own accompaniment More than usual interest attached to Mrs. Geschwind’s paper from the fact that be­ fore beginning to read the club was given an autograph picture of Mr. Comfort which had been sent to Mrs. Geschwlnd. Out of his experience as a war correspondent came the first of Mr. Comfort’s books and it will be re­ membered that this book was consid­ ered a great argument for internation­ al peace. In the year following the publication of this book. “Routledge Rides Alone," we had “She Buildeth Her House" and Into this story was woven description of the terrible vol­ canic eruption of ML Pelee In 1902 at which time Mr. Comfort hastened to Martinique and wrote newspaper ar­ ticles which were masterpieces of description. “Fate Knocks at the Door," published in 1912 Is the last book written by Mr. Comfort, but since he is but thirty-five years old Michigan may look to being still more proud of tills distinguished son. James Oliver Curwood, born at Owosso In our state in 1878, was Mrs. Holloway’s subject In writing strong, vigorous, thrilling stories of the far north, Mr. Curwood has gained a repu­ tation all his own and be Is one nf the foremost authorities on matters pertaining to the Great Lakes; he has the distinction of being the only Am­ erican ever employed by the Canadian government aa explanatory and de­ scriptive writer and critic. “The Flower of the North" Is considered the best of Mr. Curwood's books and while It is not a really great book yet the story Is so full of an absorbing plot and mystery that the reader is kept interested to the last page. The program was closed with a book review by Mrs. Marian Goodyear. Mrs. Goodyear chose one of Balsac’s stories “Thee Magic Skin" which as a story possesses great interest and tn which there are found many facts showing the similarity of present day ideas with what was known when this story was published 92 years ago. This is particularly true of the deserption of bow a person affected with pulmonary trouble was shunned. Balsac is among the really great writers whose works have lived a century and there Is at the present time a great revlrnl of Interest In his books. Many people even consider him nearly ns great as Shakespeare. For worldwide peace we may appeal And acorn the belted soldier's trade, Or apeak the deep contempt we feel For mimic warrior* on parade. But these old men, whose heads are bowed. Are worthy still of oar applause; Their valor atiH may make ns proud. Though Time has cleared away their cause. Peace reigns, and shall through all the years, Yet, mean at heart, his blood la cold Who feels no thrill and sheds no tears As their brave atory i» retold. —S. E. Kiser.

THURSDAY, MAY St, IfilR SATIRICAL STRAIN OF HUMOR william Winter Wrote of Edwin Booths* Peculiarities, as He Had Oberved Them. At times Booth’s humor was satirical. When leaving a church in Boston after the funeral of tbe eminent essayist and critic, Edwin Percy Whipple— obsequies which he had attended in company with Lawrence Barrett, and at that friend’s suggestion, and during which he had been annoyed as well as amused by the convulsive facial contortions of the officiating clergy­ man—he remarked to Barrett: “1 knew Mr. Whipple, but 1 never I expected I should be so sorry to at­ tend his funeral.” When a stage-struck lunatic named M^rk Gray attempted to murder him in Chicago at a performance of “King I Richard II.” (April 2. 1879, at Me- I Vicker s theater), firing at him twice | with a pistol from a place in the sec- | ond balcony. Booth calmly advanced to the front of the stage and, pointing at the madman, directed that he be seized, and then after a brief Absence from the scene, to reassure bls wife, composedly finished his performance. | Later he caused one of the bullets to . be extracted from a piece of scenery I The tout picked out a tough one when he tried to interest a German In the horse*.

To Pursue More Easily a Counteea tho Titled Englishman Created Scandal by Cleeing Homo to Spotios. ■ London.—The Duke of Westminster has turned his wife out of house and boxoBHa only succeeded Lu doing this after threatening the duchess with physical force. No such scandal has occurred In the British peerage for many years. The richest duchess ot England is now an exile with her father and mother on the continent The Duke of Westminster has literally thrown his wife out of Grosvenor house, the magnificent London mansion owned by the greatest landlord In England. The Duke of Westminster is thirtyfour years old. He owns some 30.000 scree scattered over the United Kingdom and no less than 606 acres of property Id London itself—the value of the latter can scarcely be estimated. Twelve years ago he married Con­ stance Cornwallis-West, one of the prettiest girls tn England. Her elder sister at that time was already Prin­ cess Henry of Pless, and her only brother had just achieved fame by marrying Lady Randolph Churchill, formerly Jennie Jerome of New York, who Is now seeking through the courts for restitution of conjugal rights from this second husband. A tremendous scandal which was almost ventilated in the courts oc­ curred In connection with his friend­ ship for the now famous Mrs. Ather­ ton. For year* his attentions to this । woman have been referred to tn print ! and out ot IL The duke has taken no pains to conceal the fascination she the military mardarins in the past held tfte lowest rank in tbe social hierarchy? Such would seem to be the caae. according to the protocol drawn np by a recent circular, accord­ ing to which a sub-prefect in a remote section ot the country would take precedence over a general command­ ing the garrison at an official func­ tion. It la do wonder, therefore, that seri­ ous changes and Improvements have been suggested and are contemplated by tbe government. The minister of war has stated in an Interview that be will certainly not allow the officers to continue lo be treated -with tho flagrant neglect of their pecuniary sit­ uation from which they have suffered in the past. The question, he said, was uppermost in his mind from tbe day he returned to the ministry. He spoke to his colleagues In the cabinet on the matter, and asked Gen. Joffre to prepare a scheme for considerably raising the pay. The Increase, he said, would be uniform. It applied to all grades, and tbs rias contemplated at present was at least f I B month. It will be Impossible, says the minis­ ter. to carry out tbe scheme, simply by Including the matter In the army estimates. A special law will be nec­ essary, and * bill to that effect will be laid before parliament. This Is tbe only way in which tbe grave crisis with which the French army is threat* eoed as regards the recruiting ot Ito officers can be settled. WILEY HITS OSLER THEORY Johnson.

Some months ago the Duke of Westminster, who has now trans­ ferred his attentions from the famous aetress to a beautiful French coun­ tess, urged the duchesa to get a legal separation. That the pretty little duchess, who Is also a good sports­ woman. firmly declined to do. “Why," asked the duchess, ‘should I consent to a separation? Neither as the Duchess of Westminster nor as your wife have 1 done anything of which 1 am ashamed. Surely It would be bitterly unfair to our chil­ dren to have all the unpleasant pub­ licity which Is attached to a deed of separation. We have many great houses in England and elsewhere.

Johnson of California has sign­ ed the Jap law, forbidding ownership ot land by Japanese of Chinese aliens —those Inelllgible to become citizens. The governor undoubtedly acted with­ in his authority and therefore the law becomes effective, even beyond the su­ preme edict of the United States gor­ erament. which under tbe constitution relegates to the states certain rights, this toeing one of them. But tbe na­ tional government protesting against the action of tbe California state leg­ islation and courteous request made to the governor by President Wilson, should have at least had some weight, as It is a serious menace to tra.le and peace relations. Of course no one can charge the Californians -with meditated Insult to President Wilson, but all the same it leads to that conclusion. Diplomacy may unravel the snarl, or it may be arMtratioh will be invoked, but there la not the least possibility or probabil­ ity that this nation will be embroiled with the little brown men of the east. From our own point of view we can see no difference between these people engaged in lawful pursuits—farming and trucking—and people of other na­ tion who come to our shores. If the mining and other industries Insist on free importation of Italians, Hungar­ ian and Russian laborer*, why not the Jap* and Chinese who give les* trou­ ble? Cut out the white slave Impor­ tation; make less opportunity for criminal emigrants to come, but let free labor come, whether it Is white, yellow, brown or black. Another last Bay Steal. Senator Ashurst introduced last week a resolution of inquiry asking tbe Secretary of tbe Navy for informa­ tion concerning bld* for armor plate for the euper-dreadnaitghts, which were let by the department, on March . Id, the last day of the Taft adminis­ tration. Mr. Aahurst charged that the Mda were let at 8454 a ton for class A plate, 834 more a ton than had ever before been paid by the government. He said that the Carnegie Steel company, the Bethlehem Steel company and the Midvale Steel company, tbe three bidders, had held a conference prior to submitting their estimates and that their bide had varied 1ms than $1 per ton. He declared that experts had told him that the United States could make similar armor plate for >254 . per ton, and that since the blds let were for 8,000 tons, the government has lost 11,600,000 in the transaction. J* it any wonder tbe big interests are wedded to the republican party? Is it any wonder the republican lead­ er* are so strenuously opposed to tar­ iff revision. I* It any wonder the re­ publican campaign fund Is swelled by voluntary contributions, Into millions. The Contention Is Prere*. The democratic contention has been that government ha* been too ex­ pensive. Tbe investigations, going on in every department, is proving the charge true. Every department is found exploiting contracts, beyond the ordinary cost and profit; in some in­ stance* doubling the price paid by private enterprises. We have it from oae familiar with the printing depart­ ment at Washington, that tons of type and printing material, represent­ ing millions of dollars, are stored away and never to be used, yet each year more I* bought and stowed away, useless for service. This is not the accumulation of a decade, for our In­ formant says every few years there is dumped into tbe junk pile, thousands of pounds of type, which bad never been used, and much of It never out of original packages. We understand there is no record of this dumping. High salaries, do not always bring honest employes. Political graft be­ ing heretofore more important than economic administration. The people voted for a change, none too soon. ” AMermaalc vs. Commission. “Next tc comic opery, they halnt nothin' a* funny as a city administra­ tion,” Abe Martin, tbe funny man. Abe says some things not exactly funny but very pointed, and tbe point­ er in this case is aimed at the nail head. An aiderman, in many in­ stances, is looked upon as a shuttle­ cock to be pelted about as each one listeth. If one of these much abused public servants, shows any back bone, the voters, break the connection at the next election. Tills has come to be a settled fact, and only some one with an axe to grind, or a flexible spinal column .can be induced to ac­ cept the office; the remedy usually being worse than the disease. There is one way out, that Is by a commission form of municipal gov­ ernment. Four men including a moyor, each commissioner to care for a department, of public utilities, will give better administration than can a board of aidermen.

It was openly charged In the United States senate Tuesday that the sugar company or trust of Colorado was capitalized at $50,000,000 and by their report $30,000,000 of this was "good will” water on which the sugar stock­ holders were receiving a dividend and had a surplus at that of $10,000,000. with which to help the sugar lobby, a Colorado senator, Thomas, charging that the sugar trust of bls state wa* using bulldozing methods getting out circulars and letters and sending them to employes, ministers and business men, asking the recipient* to sign them and send them to members of congress. Senator Reed of .Missouri, very pleasantly remembered by Hastings people who attended tbe democratic banquet of 1912, interrupted Senator Thomas long enough to add that be held in bls hand the sworn statement of the Michigan sugar company which showed tbe total capitalization of the company to be $9,846,980, and that $5,000,000 of this stock is scheduled as “good will" which is the synonym of water. The above charges were not disputed, and there can be but one conclusion, that either the consumer or beet producer,' the sugar beet rais­ er* are being robbed, or perhaps both are suffering from this overproduc­ tion of stockholders. Free sugar does not mean any buri to the sugar beet former*; but It will mean harm to tbe watered stock of the sugar trust. Free sugar will mean lower price to the consumer, and a fair profit to legitimate sugar capital. SEES SOUL LEAVE THE BODY New York Woman Tolls of Winged Apparition Fluttering From Lips— She Grasps; It Fades. NEW STRAW HATS Mootclare, N. J.—Mrs. David H.

It was the death ot Mrs. Baldwin’s father-in-law, Nathaniel H. Baldwin, who was ninety-six year* old, that provided her with wbat she think* was a supernatural vision. Mr. Bald­ win died at tbe home of hto son after a short illness of acute Indigestion. He waa * man of tbe highest Integrity, and toward tbe close ot his Ilfs took on a saintly character that increased the respect that all held for him. Mr. Baldwin's illness did not occa­ sion alarm to the members of the household. In spite of bls great age he was always tn good health. There­ fore on the morning that be passed away Mrs. Baldwin was unexcited by hto condition and did not consider that there was danger of bis death. Sbe was In tbe room next to the chamber ot the sick noffagenarian. She beard a noise and hurried to the patient’s bedside. The aged man ap­ peared to be in distress and Mrs. Baldwin, entirely unalarmed, aaked If she could render him any assistance. As she looked at the sick man, who did not answer, bjs eyes closed and he gave a gentle sigh. TTien there issued, she says, from between the lip* of the man prostrate on the bed a distinct and well-dFDned shape. Tbe form of this emanation waa that of two large wings, bach about a foot in length. Mrs. Baldwin says tbe wings had the form ot those of a butterfly and seemed unattached to any other shape. Involuntarily, Mr*. Baldwin *ay*, she reached to grasp ths strange appa­ rition, which rose toward the celling of the room. Aa she did so, however, sbe turned to look al Mr. Baldwin, and when she looked for the apparition again it had vanished.

There are many odd lighthouses throughout the world, but so far as is known, the only inland "lighthouse,** If so It may be called, is that situ­ ated far out in tbe Arizona desert. This "lighthouse.’’ as it Is called, marks the spot where a well supplies fresh water to travelers. This Is said to be the only spot where water may be had for 45 miles to the east and for at least 30 miles to the west. The "lighthouse" consists merely of a tall cottonwood pole to the top of which there Is hoisted every night a lantern, the light of which may be seen for miles across the desert in every direction.

It helps your credit to pay your debts with a check on the bank, and creates a favorable impression in the business community. It seta your family a good example and shows them that you have their welfare at heart by taking care of your means. It will hold you up when you are siek or out of work.

No one can claim that you did not pay them, as you can show their endorse­ ment on the check which paid the debt. If you keep an account with the bank and meet with some disaster and do not have sufficient money for your purpose, the bank feels under obligations to accom­ modate you in the way of loans.

Many Indeed are the sins of the telephone girl—and rightly so. And general Indeed Is the recognition of these sins by the public. But perhaps telephone girls are aggravated beyond the lot of other mortals, and their good acts are not always recognized as are those which destroy the peace ot mind ot tho telephone public. For Instance, If Marlon Eleanor Dodds, an operator at ten per week, had not been full ot charity and love for human kind, at least one case of true love would have miscarried and at least two hearts would have gone over tbe falls.

From tbe first intonation of Fannie Mayme's voice as sbe an­ swered Charles Dudley's inquiry as to her health tbe operator realized that something was wrong. The brief conversation which It was her sad privilege to hear confirmed her first realization. Charles Dudley was all apology and reconciliation; Fannie Mayme was all coldness and reserve.

The headdress of the Mongolian woman Is a very complicated affair. When the hair Is made up In the ahape of elephants' ears It Indicates matrimony and when worn in a tall It means that ;ne woman is a spinster. In order to give this shape to the hair the woman makes a parting In the middle of her head, then drenches the hair, each side by turn, with a pleas­ ing mixture of fish glue and greuse. When it is thoroughly soaked she spreads the upper part out thinly in such a way that at its broadest Jt measures about six inches wide. To keep the hair in this shape she em­ ploys wooden clips, which, when the hair Is dry, are replaced, it she can afford It, by silver or golden ones. The lower part ot the hair Is made into a plait, with a silver or golden ornament at the end to prevent it coming undone. These silver or golden clips and hair ornaments are often set with precioua stones and princesses even have the whole of the plait hidden by means of silver or golden rings. As the making up of the hair takes a whole day and the Mongol women are very lazy and not particularly cleanly in their habits. It la not surprising to learn that this operation is performed by some once a week, by others once a month and yet others—pretty low down in the social scale—once a year. —Wide World Magazine.

The warm October sunshine seemed to draw a fragrance of pe­ culiar delicacy from the fading migno­ nette sprawling over the west wall. It was as though the dainty flower bad kept something back from sum­ mers passionate wooing, and were now opening her heart In all Its puri­ ty to her departing lover; It was like a farewell Uss; it was like a sacred memory. An old man, In whose dark, quiet eye was a shade of kindly melan­ choly, came slowly up the street, casting a glance from time to time, about the old-fashioned houses as though In search of familiar signs. When he reached the crumbling pil­ lar at the end of the old wall he paused and breathed deeply the rare perfume of the fading flower about him, all the while with his staff planted firmly on the flagstone. A little girl, scarce taller than his walking slick, and as dainty as the flower Itself, was standing by the wall, plucking a withered blossom now and then and tossing it aside, as she listened to the words of her playmate. “But, Malsle," he protested, "you ran away." “The new boy's strong. He gave me an apple," she said, and walked off. The little chap's face waa of seri­ ous mold, with a heavy brown lock of hair banging over his forehead, aad he made a quaint figure in his short jacket aad blue trousers reach­ ing just to the tops of his stout bnckloshoes. He said no more, but threat his hands into his pockets and turned slowly to the house. “Malsle," called the old man. She came quickly toward him and sat down on the stone bench by his sifle. “How did you know my name?" she naked. “Malsle’s a pretty name,** be said. "My grandma's name waa Malate. How did yon knowF’ "I heard tho boy say ft." "Tbe boy’s' name's Tom — Tom MMglsy Manning. What’s your The old mb started slightly at tbs name. “My mm's Tom, tea" be aald, aad they were afloat a long terns. Tbsa be aald: "Do you know what’s tbe greatest thine Id tbe world. ttttto flMF “What tor Just then a little figure apeuared from behind aa old apple tree, to waa Tom. “Go away, bad boy,* aba celled. "Why do you send him awayF* “O, he won’t go,” she repUod with confidence. Tho old man smiled sadly, "flows day he may go away; he may go away and never come back—never.” “Then 1'11 have the new boy. Dick!" she cried, and was running to meet him when the old man called her back. "I want you to give me some­ thing,’ he said. “I want you to give me a spray of mignonette." Malsle held out the withered blos­ som she had been crushing in her hand. “And your *grandma?" he went on, bolding her by his side. “She's gone with my other grand­ ma." she said simply. \ "Gone," repeated the old man, and he rose and slowly walked away. The years flew by. Again the Oc­ tober sun kissed the dying flower on the wall farewell, but the bench was deserted, and the sun went down and the desolate mignonette breathed her fragrant tenderness imnotlcd. It be­ came dark and the harvest moon rose above the c’d apple tree. Os the night air came the sound of voices laughing and chatting mer­ rily; and from the shadow of the old tree came the figure of a tail, fair girl and a man. He was a strong­ looking chap and wore his college cap like one used to having bls way. They walked straight to the migno­ nette and paused. . “Ah. Malsle, Malate!" be cried, seiz­ ing her hand, “don’t you—won't you see. I mean more than that I know you care for me. I want your love." "I'm sorry, so sorry; but I don’t love you, Dick." For a moment the "new boy" stood motionless. Then, seeing the expres­ sion in her face, he turned and walked slowly away. The girl plucked a sprig of migno­ nette and stood turning ft In her hand. Something moved by the stone bench, and she turned toward it, scarcely knowing what vague hope was in her heart. "Tom!" she cried, running to the bench and kneeling before the dark figure. At the sound of his name the old man raised his eyes and placed his hand on the girl's head. "Mglsle!" he exclaimed, “my little Malsle." The girl burst Into tears, whether of disappointment or of joy, she scarcely knew; strange woman's tears. RWhy. It's all right. I know now," said the old man, recalling himself from tho past. “I thought it was my little Malsle. Where's Tom?" "He’s gone—he’s gone away," sob­ bed the girl at his feet "There, little girl,” be said taking the mignonette from her hand “he'll eome back, he'll come back." (Copyright py Dally fftdry Pub. Co) l.cKxons to lie Learned from the Bible. 1 could not attempt to tell the many beautiful lessons we cun learn from the Bible. However I have written down a few thoughts on two important lessons. Our Tulents end Charity. First the Bible plainly teaches us to make use of these talents. It also teaches us to live up to ail lhe light that Is given us. to grasp the oppor­ tunities as they come lo us day by day. If we are not doing this then wc are living far beneath our privi­ lege, we ore not working up our talent that God bus given us. Many of us are familiar with the Bible story* how to one servant five talents were given, to another two, to another one. They all increased their talents except the one. with the one talent He burled his. Just so with us. If we are not working our talents we bury them. Bo many times wc say we cannot do this or that, we sit back with folded hands and say, "let some one do, that more accomplished," that is help that harms, for some one else to do what we could do our self. The opportunity is ours if we would only make the struggle. It is said of the beautiful butterfly if it should be assisted in escaping from its chrysalis its wings would not develop properly. It Is the struggle to escape that forces lhe blood through its wings that makes them expand that the creature may soar into a larger world. To overcome environments Is the way to osscend to, higher realms of life, and every struggle we make for tbe betterment of ourself and those around us, makes our lives more beautiful, makes us stronger for more Important duties. Hours are golden links God tokens Reaching Heaven, but one by one. Take them lest the chain be broken. Ere the pilgrimage Is done. Beautiful Charity; the Bible teaches us so many great leeson*. The Bible aays charity covers a multitude of ains and I bad thought if It did mean this there are so many mothers who cannot join In with others In con­ demning her wayward child, and sometimes we hear it said of that mother, “She upholds that child in his sinfulness.” Oh! if we only had more charity, If we knew the anguish of that mother’s heart, bow she was ever pleading at the throne of grace for that child! • God known and understands, Tbe silent tear that falls at dead of night. Our oofted robes that once were pure and white, The prayers that rise like incease from the soul, Longing for Christ to make them pure and whole. These are not last. Not last. Oh Lord, for In thy City bright Our eyes shall see with purer light, And things long hidden from our * gaze below Shall be revealed and we shall surely know. v These are not last ' God’s fields are always white for the harvest If we would only grasp tbe golden opportunity; bo many times there are deeds of charity we could do, but we often let them slip by.

It was here one of his children, a son, died and a few years later the noble wife passed to the great beyond, leav­ ing a devoted husband and one son to mourn her departure. Selling his farm he moved to the nearby city of Springfield where he engaged in real estate and insurance business, also investing in city prop­ erty. Five years ago this month he was married to Mrs. Margaret Bailey of this city, and together they took up their home In Springfield.

Notwithstanding the growth in re­ cent yearn of the work of tho geologi­ cal survey along practical eoouomle lines, scientific work has not boon Mgioctod, according to the annual re­ port of the director for last year. In fact, in the survey the scientific inves­ tigations are inseparable from the economic work, though tho one or the other may predominate In purpose ac­ cording to the needs of the particular research in hand. In any field econo­ mic work of the .highest rank is im­ possible without full knowledge of the scientific laws and principles pertain­ ing to the subject of the work, but as there is no application of geology which does not Involve unsolved prob­ lems, soma of them of the highest Im­ portance. the best knowledge available Is nevertheless relative. It thus fol­ lows that the broad and searching observations which should accompany every piece of good economic work comprehend data that are eventually combined In the construction of new scientific hypotheses, some of which, as more observations accumulate, grow Into established laws or princi­ ples that are In turn of the greatest practical consequence. Thus tho de­ tailed studies of the metalliferous de­ posits In one region or another bring to light evidence from which to deter­ mine the genesis of the ores and the modes or conditions by their occur­ rence, and the economic Inquiry be­ comes more intelligent and successful when once this new principle regard­ ing mode of an oro occurrence Is understood. The parallel gang construction has won the approval of farmers. The automatic balance of the cultivator overcomes all neck The correct shape of shank and angle of the gang gives I ample penetration and does away with side draft because of the direct line of draft in the gangs. The dose hitch on the cultivator gives light draft. A variety of gangs enables the farmer to have a number of tools by interchanging the gangs.

Few Schools Provide Properly for the ■ ' Tanager PapIK Hundreds of school children in Michigan are In discomfort through­ out the school day and in many cases their health Is impaired because school boards have failed to provide proper seating equipment. The ma­ jority of younger children in the rural schools are forced to sit all day with their legs swinging in the air because only a jfew schools have sufficient number of small-sized seats and desks. In many cases the children are compelled to distort their bodies when they write because the desks are too high or too far away. It Iv not unusual to find children In cities and towns, who are uncomfortable because their seats and desks do nut fit them. These conditions diminish efficiency even if they do not produce serious results as to the health of the children. To admire, to lore, to regret, Is to lire, said a great writer.

Invaluable fwPisnh—, WASHINGTON LETTER SEE FULLER & CO. By Clyde H. Tavener. Washington. D. C.. June 2, 1913. In the election last fall the people elected members of congress to re­ vise the’tariff on sugar and other necessaries, downward, us one step toward the -reduction of the ever In­ creasing cost of living. Powerful lobbies are now in Wash­ ington endeavoring to persuade these members of congress to break their pledges to the people and betray the consumers of the land, to the end that a few men, already rich beyond the dreams of avarice, mpy add to their swollen fortunes. It was to place before the public this state of affairs that President Wilson used his now famous state­ ment, in which, referring to these lob­ bies, he said: "Washington has seldom seen so numerous, so industrious, or so in­ sidious a lobby. There is every evi­ dence that money without a limit Is being spent to sustain this lobby and to create an appearance of a pressure of public opinion antagonistic to some of tho chief items of the tariff bill.” In order that the public may knov. all of tho facts about the condition alluded to by President Wilson, 1 have Introduced a resolution provid­ ing for the appointment of a commit­ tee of five members of lhe house of representatives to Investigate the sub­ ject. This resolution reads as follows: "Whereas, It has been charged by the President of the United States, and there is reason to believe that a pow­ erful and insidious lobby, represent­ ing interests hostile to the passage, of the pending tariff bill in the form adopted by the House of Representa­ tives, is in existence In Washington; and Whereas. Newspapers are being filled with paid advertisements cal­ culated to create an artificial public opinion against certain items of the tariff bill; and Whereas, It la charged and there Is reason to believe that unlimited funds have been placed at the disposal of this lobby for the purpose of over­ coming the Interests of the public for the private profit of the Interests which they represent; and Whereas. The public maintains no lobby and Is powerless to reply to the paid advertisements of any lobby representing financial interests; and Whereas, Bills are. pending In Con­ gress to regulate and control the operation of lobbies at the National Capital, and it is advisable to gather any and all facts bearing on the afore­ said conditions and charges or in any way relating thereto, as a basis for remedial purposes; therefore be it Resolved. That a special committee of five members be appointed by the Speaker of tbe House of Representa­ tives to sit during the sessions of the House and during the recess of Con- i gross for the purpose of investigating i and reporting to Congress the facts in connection with the operation of any lobby or lobbies in Washington; said committee shall inquire into the sources whence any such lobby or lobbies are supplied with funds, and the amount of funds so contributed; and shall also ascertain where and how these funds are expended and for what immediate and ultimate pur­ pose; and shall go into a general in­ quiry to learn the methods by which any lobby seeks to influence leglslar tion in Congress." If members of congress were to al­ low themselves to be guided by the views of tlie lobbyists, -they would conclude that the people back home were not in good faith ’ when they voted for tariff revision downward. Or. if they were in good faith at the time, that they have since changed their minds, deciding they do not de­ sire the monopolies of the tariff trusts Interfered with. But President Wilson is not being ■ooled. Nor is the average member of congress. They know that tor every man who beseeches them In Washington to retain the tariff on sugar, there are nine hundred and ninety-nine of their constituents who are not writing letters, but who de­ mand that promises mode to them be­ fore election be kept after election, and especially the downward revision of the tariff on the vital necessaries of life. President Wilson and the members of congress also know that every penny of the extra dividends that the lobby interests will make by virtue of legislation granting them special privileges, must come from the pock­ ets of the men, women and children in the districts back home. It will be recalled that President Taft once faced the same crisis that members of congress face now. He listened to the voices at his ear In Washington, whom the late Senator Dolliver described as "men who knew exactly what they wanted." President Taft forgot the folks at home who do not write letters, and on the very first, election day following they got revenge. The lobbyists in Washington whose counsel he find ac­ cepted were powerless to save him from the wrath of the home folks who vote, but who maintain no lob­ bies in Washington. ratwr Card of Thank*.

Camden, N. J., May 28—Theodore Rooaevelt is absolutely against an al­ liance with any political party by his progressive party, and is going t> stand or fall by the party brought Into being at the last presidential eleetion. He made this plain, last night, when a letter from him was read at tbe dollar dinner given by progressives of Camden. Colonel Roosevelt wrote: ‘The progressive party stands to­ day precisely where the republican party stood in the days of Lincoln ths aatioo. It is aa idle to talk of b*sci to talk to the Lincoln repabltth* Botntan democrats or the Cotton . The president of the United States took an auto ride wtih bls family. Decoration day; their route took them to Baltimore, where they purposed to root and take a lunch. They stopped at a popular cafe where the inquiry was made by one of the president's ' daughters if they could have a table for their party. The head waiter shook her head, aa all the tables were flHed, and others were waiting. The president and his party sought other places, and probably erjoyed the lunch fully as much as at the swell hotel. They were not recognised at ■rut, but the proprietor becoming aware of who his distinguished visi­ tors were, sold: even if he had known it would have made no difference. Truly American ways are democratic la the fullest sense of the word. The much touted libel suit of Theo­ dore Rooaevelt was brought to a sud­ den close by Editor Newett pleading guilty and making apology, after the complainant had put In plenty of tes-. ttamny a* to bls sobriety. After Newett had withdrawn the charges tha Bull Moose leader said be only wanted to put a stop to the libel, and would be satisfied with a nominal verdkt The judge then fined the edi­ tor six cento damage, and thus a six day wonder passed Into history. The dependence of corporations, on •trike breaking, or non-union labor to take the place of striking employee is dangerous as well as precarious. On the other hand, arbitrary demand, by employes Is equally as bad. The establiahment of a minimum wage, in the several industries, as well aa hours of labor, may relieve the situa­ tion, but state and national laws forcing arbitration. In prolonged con­ flicts between employers and employes must surely come. The senate is to investigate the charges made by President Wilson a*dnst the lobbies, which infest the halls of congress. Times have changed since the G. O. P. elephant gave up W60L TARIFF SITUATION. By Edward Frensdorf, the Largest The following communication to the Detroit Times will be of interest to many of our readers: To the Editor of The Times : I receive so many communications regarding tbe wool situation, especi­ ally concerning the wool tariff, that I am inclined to accede to your veiy urgent reqr.est for a statement 1 would say, first, that we are all selfish and I will admit that if any article waa to be favored by legislation 1 naturally wanted my pet industry taken care of. But it seems that the present administration is not inclined to take care of any special interest It has discovered that years of high suits In fostering and increasing that industry; has been convinced that such legislation has proved itseif worthless, and has concluded a change can do no harm when the in­ terest of the whole people is consid­ ered. and this is Just the situation when It comes to the sheep industryWe cannot disregard facts, and it Is, true that the production of wool in our state was twice as much ns it is today when the population of our state was half what It Is today. Hence we must admit that a high tar­ iff on wool has failed to foster or even maintain the sheep industry In Michigan, notwithstanding the splen­ did prices sheep and lambs have brought From estimate* at hand I would say the wool clip of the state this year will not exceed 7,200,000 pounds, pro­ duced by 17,000 farmers, showing that only 7 per cent, of our fanners keep any sheep and that only one thirty­ seventh of our population are inter­ ested in sheep husbandry. It reverts back to the proposition: Is It fair to tax 37 people for the benefit of one, and how much has the Payne-Aldrich bill benefited the farmer on tbe price of his wool? In 1908 the farmer sold his wool for less than he is getting today. In 1911 he sold his wool for less than he 1b getting today. Last year it was two to three cents above this year's prices. Now It Is being sold on absolutely a free trade basis, and some grades are actually on on export basis. It Is estimated that tbe average amount expended per person In the dry goods and clothing stores of our state la >39.00. Our rural population is, in round numbers, 1.500,000, which would mean an expenditure of >45,000,000. Now, if by reason of the re­ duction in the tariff on woolen and cotton goods, you are able to purchase these goods only three per cent, cheaper than you have under the old tariff, the saving to the people in the rural district* alone will be >1,250,000, which shows a saving of more mouey than all the 7,200,000 pounds of wool grown in our state brings the farmer. And your dry goods and clothing are but two of the hundreds of articles on which the farmers and the whole people are to be benefited AS PRECIOUS AS GOLD By FRANK H. ME LOON. Aa we scanned tbe yellow sheet. only that moment torn from tbe grimy envelope. Chase Precott groaned aloud. Although he was not a man given to despairing, he could see plain­ ly that the words spelled probable ruin. Aa acting president of the Wyo­ ming Banking company, with branches in Fremont and Casper, the responsi­ bility of the twin institutions lay on the shoulder* of the one-time cashier; from the president, whose recovery from a dangerous fever seemed Im­ probable, he could expect neither aid nor advke. The telegram read: "Fremont. Wyo.. Sept 23.—Chase Prescott, Tbe Muddy River House, Casper: Run on bank certain tomor­ row. Twenty-five thousand necessary by noon.

"1 wonder what Ina would say to that. Lucky we ar­ ranged to be married at her home in Fremont.” Chase Prescott glanced at hl* watch, noting that tbe hour was eight o’clock. He stepped quickly to the telephone booth, giving his orders dearly and briefly to bls associates of the Casper National, closing by tell­ ing them that he was about to leave for Fremont on tbe 9:16 p. m. train. “Have the money on board the spe­ cial aa early as you can tomorrow morning.” he admonished.

Morrill, Lambie & Co Phone 266 Khali We Have a Public Library I The public meeting at the court room last Friday evening, although not largely attended, was an Import­ ant one for this city, as tbe initial steps were then taken towards tbe realisation of one of the city's great­ est nefds, a free public library, ade­ quate to the demands of a growing and intelligent community. The proposition which has been made by a former citizen of Hastings. Jr. a most generous one, and can not be considered in any other light than as a golden opportunity which the city should moat eagerly avail itself of. In fact the city cannot possibly afford to reject it or treat it indifferently. A fine public library and reading room would be a source of good to Hast­ ings whose value can scarcely be overstated. It would be is constant in­ fluence for Intelligence, culture and re­ finement In fact Hastings must have such an Institution or fall behind her sister cities of Mkblgsn, in those things which make life worth living. And so, the opportunity that is now offered this city to establish a fine pub­ lic library merits the enthusiasts sup­ port of all good citiiens. A committee was appointed at Fri­ day night’s meeting to take up the matter of raising enough additional funds to make tbe proportion a “go." This committee has been appointed by President A. A.

The death of an old Breton woman, Corentine le Clech, in the cemetery of a village near Lorient, Brittany, re­ calls the existence of a widely re­ spected trade in the region—that of “listener to tbe dead." The Breton folk believe that the dead watch all the acts of their de­ scendants. The peasants never take an important decision without asking the approval of their forbear. Thus there baa grown up an occupation of Interpreting to the living the wishes of the dead. Corentine le Cletch had acted aa “listener to the dead" In her village for more than thirty years.—Paris Journal. ATTRIBUTES OF NUMBER 7 Numeral Associated Usually Wtth Holy Thiago—Original Jokoo Known to Mankind. Pythagoras declared that while tho number three contained the most sub­ lime mysteries, the number seven Is powerful for good or evil and la asso­ ciated especially with holy things, re­ marks Philip Hale in the Booton Heraid. There are seven deadly sins among Christians and Moslems; tho •even champions ot Christendom, tha seven league boots, tho seven aagoo of Greece, the seven sleepers of Epbsotes, the seven sorrows of Mary, tho •oven heavens known to the cabal lata, the seven virtues, tho saves wonders of tho world, the seventh son of a sev­ enth sou. In tho early church there could be only oeven donoona to each town. Jacob served sevea year* tor RaehoL In the Bible wo rend of seven bullocks, rams, men, seas, spirits, stars, seals. Ths strong gods pine for st abode. And pins In vein for tbe sserod sovoa. And why should there not be seven original and only jokes? Wo have never seen them in print or manu­ script. Undoubtedly one of them had something to do with a mother-in-law. Possibly “When Is a door not a door?" waa one of them. Of this we may be sure: Jokes told in the ark are re­ peated confidently today in musical comedies, comic papers, clubs and even by the happy fireside. Onoo ReveltrtloMfy. Tho latest instance of a general en­ forcement of laws coacernlag dreee occurred at tho time of the FYesiih Rovotatlou. when some rulers of Ger­ man states forbade their subject to wear trousers, those being held to in­ dicate revolutionary opinions. The Elector of Hoose-Cassel, beaidee pro­ hibiting tho obnoxious garments, had tho convicts employed on road-swoop­ ing dressed in trousers, so aa to in­ spire disgust for sansculotte fashions. No general prohibition of this kind was Issued In Prussia, but until 17M all Prussian officials were restricted to knee breeches for their nether gar­ ments. Trousers were held to be "un­ becoming to the dignity and gravity of the holder of an official position." Didn’t Know His Own Horse. Law Notes finds a case in the petty cessions of Ireland involving a clergy­ man and his horse. .The clergyman was summoned to court for permitting his home to wander on the public highway away from the control of any person. The police testified that their attention was called to the horse by the clergyman hlmaelf, who complain• ed that the offense was occurring con­ stantly and waa very dangerous. The police couldn't find the owner and im­ pounded the animal. Tho next day the priest missed his steed and went wfth his servant and identified tho offend­ ing boast as his own property. Tbe justices gave him his horse, but im­ posed a small fine for his offense. Rich fieldom Extravagant. Extravagance, oddly enough, is not a habit of the rich so much aa it la of the poor.

Among the wide range of reasons why It Is better to buy goods from the home merchant, is this that you get more Intelligent attention. Tho essential trouble with the big store in the larger city Is that Its business Is too spread out for good detail work. The army of clerks be­ comes a machine. You are strangers to the entire force. Your face may never be seen by them again. They do net tear your dissatisfaction, or covet your approval, unless the form­ er is acute enough to enlist the wrath of the floor walker. You are simply one grain In the grist, to be ground through the hopper. The shopgirl In the large city may wait on you faithfully enough as tbe standard of sendee goes for her type. But she is not ordinarily intelligent about the goods she Is selling. She is a kind of automatic machine for swapping goods and change in tho most expeditious manner. If you want advice, It you want to know something how fabrics or articles are built, she is helpless. The conditions In the stores ot Grand Rapids are radically different. These home enterprises are not over­ grown. Business Is not too big to be effectively supervised. The clerks are not too numerous to be educated to know about the goods they are marketing. ’ Under home conditions, the clerk feels a very solicitous care about the fate of the purchase after it is made. He knows that if be gives satisfaction, you will come to the same counter again and solicit friendly attention. Thus prompted, be will warn ot defects and take pains to tell you what goods really are. He will not be anxious to hasten your decision, but will want you to watt until you know your own mind. Can there be a question that pur­ chases made under these conditions are wiser purchase* than the other kind?—Grand Rapids Chronicle. ■ How’s This?

The canvas top of the big Chautauqua tent could here W’ be seen a short distance from the depot. Smithville entertained the party for dinner. When the long train pulled into Albany there was a tooting of locomo­ tives whistles, and friendly greetings from the crowds. A long line of auto­ mobiles met the party.

He also attends wan, where he occupies an Important strategic position (with the other statesmen who have brought on the war) at a place called ’’headquarters," which is usually about eighteen miles in the rear of the battle. Borne say that the king is a back number. He has been held up to ridi­ cule so long that even the proletariat la no longer in awe of him. Still, by a sort of royal inertia, he continues to exist—like the vermiform appendix. Some kings are fat and others are thin: some tall and others short; all kings are uneasy; this king is no ex­ ception to the rule. He has a number of crowns, some of them larger than others, In order to fit the various siass of his head.

For so soft and melting were her eyes that tha first time Dick looked Into them they caught right hold of his heart He didn’t much notice anything else about Marguerite, though he bad ask­ ed her hand in marriage. But Dick wm very young and It was sufficient for him that her eyes were the love­ liest he bad ever seen. Dick's salary was |20 a week, and lovely eyes are usually expensive. But Marguerite had accomplish­ ments. She was a proficient bridge­ player. She was also a good horse­ woman. Marguerite's father was wealthy. But Marguerite loved Dick, too. And she was sure that she could live on 920 a week. “Dick’s salary will hardly pay for the keep of your horee. Margie.” said her father. “But, you can pay those bills, dad­ dy. dear. And yon*ll give us a hand­ some present, of course.” “Ill give you a home. That is all. If you insist upon marrying a poor man. you might as well get used to his ways of living. You will have to cook and mend and sweep.” “But I can learn, daddy." “But you aren’t the kind that will, daughter." When they were married. Margue­ rite’s father gave them a couple of lots in the suburbs and built and fur­ nished .a house for them. Marguerite gave atp her riding, but she still play­ ed bridge. She tried to cook, but aft­ er the flrnt few weeks she said to Dick: “I just must have a maid, Dickie, dear.” Dick wm willing.

PYTHIAN KIGHTS WffOfll DEAD BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL SERVICE OF THE ORDER WAS CARRIED OUT SUNDAY AFTERNOON. large Number of Knights Join In Decorating Graves of Members Who Have Passed Beyond. Last Sunday dawned clear and cold hnd the chill of the day extended to die night fall, but in the afternoon about one hundred of the resident members of Barry Lodge, Knights of Pythias, met at the Castle 'hall, all carrying flowers for the graves cl de­ parted brothers. Kunesel's Military band had been secured to furnish the music for the occasion and promptly at throe o’clock the line of march Was formed, and un­ der -.he marshalshlp of W. H. Spence, marched to beautiful Riverside ceme­ tery where the ceremonjs of decorat­ ing the graves of departed brothers •was carried out. There are thirtysix Knights who are sleeping the last sleep In the two cemeteries. Riverside and Woodlawn, and the marching .Knights, with handfuls of flowers visited each one of these graves. Arrived at the grave. Marshal Spence would announce the name of the departed frother. The company would halt and Chancellor Command­ er L. D. Waters would step to the edge of the grave and say, "In the name of Pythian Friendship and in Memory of thy Brotherhood with us. .1 bestow this Symbol,” and then drop u bunch of flowers upon the grave. Then James L. Crawley, prelate nt tne lodge for many years past and one of the -beat informed men in lodge work in the country, would step to the side of the grave and repeat some fitting text or verse. The fact that he gave in a beautiful and impressive manner a different text or quotation at each of the thirty-six graves showed him to be a man of remarka­ ble memory and more than ordlnary abllity. After the selection had been given by the prelate each Knight filed past the grave and dropped a floral tribute to the memory of the departed brother. At the conclusion of his work, many pleasing compliments were bestowed upon Mr. Crawley, the veteran lodge man. When the last floral offering had been dropped on the test grave of the departed brothers the lodge formed ■a hollow square around the monu­ ment in beautiful Riverside cemetery and listened to a very beautiful and appropriate address by George L. Lusk, of Bay City, Past Grand Chan­ cellor of Michigan, and a former representative to the Supreme lodge from this state. Mr. Lusk was Intro­ duced to the Knights by Past-Bapreme Chancellor Philip T. Colgrove, who las long been an active member of Barry lodge. Mr. Lusk spoke of the beautiful custom of the lodge In devoting a day to the memory of the absent ones and said that in all of his experience In ■connection with Pythian work he had never seen a more beautiful service tc the memory of the dead than the service given by the members of Bar­ ry lodge on this occasion, and said that he wished that every subordinate ledge in Michigan could adopt tbn same form, as he considered it perfec­ tion itself. Mr. Lusk dwelt at length upon the fraternal feature of the order and the great benefits to be derived from a membership Ln an order like the Knights of Pythias. He spoke of the remarkable growth of the order in the last fifty years and told those present that the Pythian lodge now ranked third in the great list of lodges and bad a membership of over "50,­ 000. He spoke of how much the lodge had done since its Inception in dispelling the seeds of discord that existed at the close of the war and In bringing together Into one grand harmonious whole, the north and toutb. His address was replete with poetical selections and fraternal thoughts that found a warm spot in ' the heart of every person who heard his fine address. On the altar in the lodge room a large bunch of flowers was left, in memory of those members u hose bones lie resting in other ceme­ teries far remote, but whose names are familiar to the members of Barry lodge because of their membership here in days gone by. The music furnished for the occa­ sion was greatly enjoyed by all and added much to the appropriateness of the occasion. No Pythian grave in either of the cemeteries Is allowed to go unattended as it Is a part of the work of the order to see that every grave which contains the remcins of former Knight should be placed in irood condition for the memorial ser­ vice. • If you want anything on earth ad­ vertise for It in our want column.

LIGHT PLATS OF TOWNS THAT ODD FEUOW UMET 1GRAND SUCCESS NEVER EXISTED. One Was the Tillage sf “Barry" Hat­ ted ta ISM, and the Other “Middle Village* ua Scutes Prairie. SPACIOUS MALL NEARLY FILLED In a research by W. W. Potter among the ancient archives of the Kalamasoo county register's office, he came across the records of two vil­ lages in Barry county which long since have passed out of the memory of the oldest inhabitant. A plat of the Ullage of Barry was located on the S. E. U of the S. E. 14 of section 33. Hastings, now owned by Alice Smith. It consisted of sixteen-blocks of twelve lots each and was platted by one Samuel Anderson in 1836. The location of this village was on the Him of a contemplated railroad from Monroe, at the mouth of the river Rataln, that village being the center of trade and business at that time, anti running almost due northwest to Grand Rapids. There was no record ot any ot the village lots being trans­ ferred. The same party also established another village in the township of Thornapple on what is known as Scales* Prairie, and this was named Middle Village. This plat consisted of r tateen blocks of eight lots surround­ ing a public square.

With the introduction of alfalfa on the farm comes a vision of rejuvenated sol1, bumper crops and slick animals which Is sure to prove a reality. It is no Idle dream of the visionlst but a tried and proved reality. In the west where it has been grown extensively, it has proven a boon to the agricul­ turnlist that is almost unbelievable. A few weeks ago the gospel of al­ falfa was borne to the farmers of Kent county and lUmet with such a hearty response from them that a number of our cltlxens decided it must be brought to this connty and so strenuously did they fight for it that The trend of civilisation was not to be governed by arbitrary lines and gradually the clty*of Detroit drew cap­ ital and population away from Monroe, and became as it now Is the metropo­ lis of the Peninsula state. The vil­ lages remained on paper, and died out of the memory ot the people.

The rapid growth of our city’s in­ dustries in the past few years has bren watched with pleasure by all who are interested In its growth and prosperity. There is one thing how­ ever that has been overlooked by those who have smiled at the growth, and :hat Is the building of homes to house those who come to Hostings to make their homes. One ot our factories Is now employ­ ing a hundred hands and could use fifty more by the middle of July. But Aie houseless proposition confronts those who would make this city their home and they refuse to come.

Miss Law­ rence,” said the little girl in the white dress and pink sash to the young woman who had charge of the dance. “Why don’t you dance with Eliza­ beth?" asked Miaa Lawrence. “I don't want to dance with a girl. I want to dance with a boy—a real boy.” Miss Lawrence, looking around, saw that all the available boys were busily engaged. Finally she caught a glimpse of a little fellow standing alone, evidently taking an Inventory of the girls present. “George.” she said, raising her voice, “please come here." George sauntered over to Miss Lawrence. "George, this is Marlon,” said Miss Lawrence, by way of Introduction"Now, I’m sure you two will enjoy having this two-step together." "I don’t want to,” said. George, rebelliuusly. Then, before Miss Law­ rence could say another word George escaped. “1 suppose he doesn’t know bow to dance," she said by way of explana­ tion to Marlon. Fully determined now to get a partner for the woebegone lit­ tle girl, she added! "You wait here and I’ll find another boy.” The next boy presented to Marion looked nt her for a moment, then straightened up to fals fullest height and said: "She's only In second grade and I’m in sixth. I’m not going to dance with any little kids In sec­ ond grade.” His tone was so determined that there seemed do use to argue. Marlon was not the least bit dis­ couraged. She put her little hand into Miao Lawrence’s, saying: “Now, will you get me a partner*” Miss Lawrence wasn’t so sure that she could, but she answered cheerful­ ly: “This dance is nearly over.

To thia union were born seven children, one dying in infancy. On Dec. 24, 1863, at his country's cell he enlisted in Co.

Rerrived Diplomas and Had an Afternoon of Sports. The cold north wind and cloudy sky Saturday morning had no chilling ef­ fect on the boys and girls of Barry county who had planned to come to Hastings that day to receive their eighth gn.de diplomas and to take part in the festivities of the occasion. Their hearts were warm and their hopes were eager and a little chilli­ ness in the air made no difference. They came just the same and their parents und friends and teachers and schoolmates came with them. After nil, the weather wasn't so very bad. For the sun came out and even if the wind was unseasonably cool, the grandstand where the exercises were a eld was comfortable. The schools came from nil parts of inc county and It was particularly gratifying to sec the Assyrians present in large numbers. The people of that township, owing to the inconvenience in getting to Hastings, seldom come here.

Marion answered “Yes," and started to dance with Bob. After that dance Marion seemed to be the most popular girt there, for. to tho envy of the other little girls, she had every dance taken with the big boys. • "Did you have a Dice time, Marion?" Miss Lawrence asked her as she waa starting borne. "Lovely!" breathed Marion. “And all the big boys danced with you." “Yes,” she said, innocently. “Do you know why?” “No." । “Bob said he'd get all the boys to dunce with me If I'd promise to give him the dollar father gave me for my birthday.

It sets your family a good example and shows them that you have their welfare at heart by taking care of your means. It will hold you up when you are sick or out of work. A bank account creates a desire and pride to make it as large as possible and it is wise for all to provide for the “rainy day” which is liable to come sooner or later. If you pay your debts by drawing a check on the bank the eheck must be en­ dorsed before the bank will pay it, and it then becomes a legal receipt for money paid. Ko one can claim that yon did not pay them, as you can show their endorse­ ment on the check which paid the debt. If you keep an account with the bank and meet with some disaster and do not have sufficient money for your purpose, the bank feels under obligations to accom­ modate you in the way of loans. The bank will nearly always lend its depositors money when it is declining loans to other people. Start an account today with this old reliable bank and you will never regret it. *’*“*• Success can read with one eye open.

CLARK. •W WASHINGTON—It II pml. ■Af ble. home people would say WV probable, tbat tbe Battle of Gettysburg changed utterly the course of American his­ tory. It waa a great fight between armies of Americans, for probably folly ninety per cent, of the men who fought on the two sides were born natives to the American soil. The bravery shown at Gettysburg was of the order which Americans have shown on every field and which re­ flects credit upon the hardy apd heroic ancestry of the men engaged, no matter from what race they may have sprung. At Gettysburg there was nothing to choose between the valor of the North and the South. The South loot tho fight, but It lost it honorably and with tbe prestige of Its soldiery undtansed. The charges made on that field have gone down into history as assaults made under conditions which every man felt might mean death at the end. The defenses made at Gettys­ burg were of the kind which it takes iron In the blood to make perfect. At Gettysburg Northerners and South­ erners replenished their store of re­ spect for their antagonists. The bat­ tle marked the high tide of the war between the states. After it the South largely was on the defensive, but its defense was maintained with fortitude and in the face of privations which could not chlM the blood of men fighting for what they thought waa the right The Northern armies were persis­ tant in their attacks through the cut paigns which after a few sseathc were started agiast tbe objective point Richmond. Brave men here and brave men there, and after the end came it was the aaallties which keep oompaay with bravery which made the aelAers of the North and South so ready to forget and to forgive aad to work again for the good of a oomson country. The great battle of ChaaeeUersvllle was fought not long before the oppos­ ing Union and Confederate torose mot ea the field of Gettysburg. Chancellorsville was a Confederate victory. The Southern government believed that the victory should be followed up by an invasion of the North for, ac­ cording to Its reasoning, it an import­ ant engagement couM be won upon Maj. Gen. Georgs G. Meade.Northern soil the chances of foreign Intervention or at least foreign aid to the Southern cause, would be forth­ coming. General Robert E. Lee late In tho spring of 1868, made his preparations to conduct his campaign Northward into the state of Pennsylvania. He had under his command three corps, General Junes Longstreet command­ ing tbe First, General Richard 8. Ewell commanding the Second, and General A. P. Hill commanding the Third. In the Union army which aft­ erward confronted Lee at Gettysburg, there were seven corps, but the num­ ber of men In each was much less than tbat in a Confederate corps, the military composition of each being different. Tbe Union corps comman­ ders who under Meade were at Get­ tysburg, were Generals John F. Rey­ nolds, W. 8. Hancock, Daniel E. Sickles, George Sykes, John Sedgwick, O. O. Howard and H. W. Slocum. Forces Almost Evenly Matched. It never has been determined be­ yond the point of all dispute just how many u>eu were engaged on each side in the battle of Gettysburg. It is known that the armies were very nearly equal In strength, the proba­ bilities being that the Confederate force was a few thousand men strong­ er than the Union force, a difference which was balanced perhaps by the fact that the Union armies at Gettys­ burg were fighting in defense of their land from invasion, a condition which military men say always adds a sub­ tle something to the fighting quality which Is in any man. Some authori­ ties have said that there were 100,000 men in the Confederate forces at Get­ tysburg to be confronted by 90,000 Union troops. Another authority says that the Confederate force was 84.000 and the Union force 80,000. As it was the armies were pretty nearly equally divided In strength. In June, 1868, General Robert E. Lee began to move northward. Lee concentrated his army at Winchester, Va., and then started for the Potomac river, which he crossed to reach the state of Maryland. He fully expected to be followed by General Hooker’s army and so General Stuart with a large force of cavalry was ordered by Lee to keep In front of Hooker's srmy and to check bls pursuit of the Con­ federates If it was attempted. Late In June the Confederate force reached Hagerstown, in the state of Maryland. It was General Lee’s in­ tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa., which was a great railroad center and a city where Union armies were recruited and from which all kinds of supplies were sent out to tbe soldiers in the field. While the Southern com­ mander was on his way with a large part of his force to the Pennsylvania capital another part of his command was ordered to make Its way Into the Susquehanna Valley through the tow* of Gettysburg and then to turn ia its course after destroying railroads aad gathering la supplies, aad to meet the Confoderate ooatmander with the mala army at Harrisburg. tt was General Jubal A. Bariy of General Lao’s command, who reached Gettysburg after a long hard march oa June 26. From there he went to the town of York and from thence to Wrightsville. At thia place he waa ordered by General Lee to retrace his steps and to bring his detachment hack to a camp near Gettysburg. When Early ahd obeyed Lee’s order and had reached a point near Gettys­ burg he found the entire Southern force was camped within easy strik­ ing distance of the now historic town. In the meantime things were hap­ pening elsewhere. General Hooker la command of tbe Union army which had been depleted at Chancellorsville, had succeeded In out-maneuvering General Stuart ia command ot Lee’s cavalry, had got around Stuart’s com­ mand in a way to prevent the South­ ern general from forming a junction with the forces of his chief comman­ der. Lee gave over the proposed movement on Harrisburg when he heard of Hooker’s approach and brought the different parts of bis army together. Four days before the Gettysburg fight began General Hooker resigned as commander of the Union army. Hooker and General Hallock dis­ agreed upon a matter concerning which strategists today say that Gen­ eral Hooker was right. Three days before the battle began, tbat is, June 28, 1863, General George Gordan Meade was named as General Hook­ er’s successor in charge of the North­ ern army. General Meade at once went into the field and established his headquarters st a point ten or twelve miles south of the town of Gettysburg. Annies Meet at Gettysburg. It seems that General Lee on hear­ ing that Stuart bad not succeeded in checking the Union army’s advance had made up hia mind to torn south­ ward to meet the force of Hooker, or as it turned out the force of Meade. L** with his force had advanced north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade with his force was south of tbe town. The fields near tue Pennsylvania vil­ lage had not been picked as a place ot battle, but there it waa that the two great armies came together and for three days struggled for the mas­ tery. On the last day of June, tbe day before the real battle of Gettysburg began. General Reynolds, a corps commander of the Union army, went forward to fee! out the enemy. He reached Gettysburg by nightfall. His corps, the First, together with the Third and the Eleventh Infantry Corps with a dirialon of cavalry, com­ posed the Union army’s left wing. The Fifth Array Corps was sent to Hanover, southeast of Gettysburg, Mid the Twelfth Corps was Immedi­ ately south of Gettysburg at a dis­ tance of eight or nine miles. This was on June 30, and the Union forces Mere fairly well eeparted, but they were converging and Gettysburg was their objective. General Reynolds of the Union forces arrived a* Gettysburg early on the morning of July 1. He dispatched a courier to Meade saying that the high ground above Gettysburg waa the proper place to meet the enemy. Not long after this message was sent to Meade General Reynolds who diHpatched It, was killed. He was on horseback near a patch of woods with his force confronting a large detach­ ment of Confederate troops which was coming toward them. These troops of the enemy were dispersed by the Union batteries and Reynolds was watching the successful solid shot and shrapnel onset when a bullet struck him in tbe head killing him In­ stantly. Genera] Abner Doubleday succeeded Reynolds in command of the troops at that point of the field. A brigade of Confederates, a Mississippi organi­ sation, charged the Union forces, broke their organization and succeed­ ed in making prisoners of a large part of a New York regiment. Later these men were recaptured and the Missis­ sippi brigade was driven back, a por­ tion of it surrendering. In the fight on the first day at this point of the field or near it. one Union regiment, the 151st Pennsylvania, lost in killed and wounded 337 men out of a total of 446 in a little more than a quarter of an hour's fight. Genera] Doubleday fell back to Sem­ inary Ridge and extended his line. The forces employed against him here were greater than his own, and after hard fighting Seminary Ridge was given up. The first day’s battle was in effect and in truth a victory for the Southern arms. On the night of July 1 .General Hancock arrived and succeeded in rallying the Union forces and putting new heart into the men. General Meade on that night ordered the entire army to Gettys­ burg. Victory Not Followed Up. For some reason or other perhaps unknown to this day. what was virtu­ ally a Confederate victory on the first of July was not followed up by Gen­ eral Lee early on the next morning. General Meade therefore succeeded in strengthening hia lines and in pre­ paring for the greater conflict. One end of the Union line was some dis­ tance east of Cemetery Hill on Rock Creek, another end was at Round Top something more than two miles be­ yond Cemetery HUI to the south. Th* Confederate line confronting It waa somewhat longer. It is impossible In a brief sketch of this battle to give the names .-of the brigade and the regimental comman­ ders and the names of the regiments which were engaged on both sides In this great battle. Meade, Hancock, Howard, Slocum and Sickles with, thstr men were confronting Leo, Longstreet, Hill, Ewell end ths other great commander* of the Booth with their men. The lino of battle with the spaces in between the different com­ mands was nearly ten miles. It was the Confederate general's intention to attack at the extreme right and left and at the center simultaneously. It was to be General Longstreet's duty to turn the left flank of the Union army and to “break It." Longstreet’s Intended movement waa discovered in time to have it met valiantly. The Maj. Gan. George E. Pickett. Southern general did not succeed in the plan which he bad formed to get by Big Round Top and to attack the Third Corps from a position of van­ tage In the rear. General Sickles de­ fended Round Top and Longstreet could not take it When one visits the battlefield of Gettysburg he can trace the course of battle of the second day where It raged at Round Top, Peach Orchard, Cemetery Hill, Culp's Hill, and what is known as The Devil’s Den. The tide of battle ebbed and flowed. Lit­ tle Round Top waa saved from cap­ ture by the timely arrival of a brigade commanded by General Weed that dragged the guns of a United State* regular battery up to the summit by hand. At the end of the second day's fight it was found that the Southern army had failed to break the left flank of the opposing forces, that it had failed to capture Round Top and that the right flank of the Northern army, al­ though vigorously attacked, had not been broken. There was a tremen­ dous loss of life on both aides, and while in general the day had gone favorably to the Nortbren cause Get­ tysburg was still a drawn battle. Charge of Gon. Pickett It was on July 3, the third and last day of the great battle of Gettysburg that Pickett’s men made their charge THURSDAY. JUNE 1*. 1*18. pifiE wnm which has gone Into history as on* ot the most heroic assaults of all 1 time. It waa forlorn hope but It was grasped and the men of George Ed­ ward Pickett, Confederate soldier, went loyally and with full hearts to their death across a shrapnel and rifle swept field. When the third day’s fighting open­ ed it begun with an artillery duel, hundreds of guns belching forth shot and death from the batteries of both contending forces. It Is said that thia was tbe greatest duel engaged in by field pieces during the four years of the war between the states. The Union gun* al one time ceased firing, and it la said tbat tbe southern commander thought they bad been silenced, and then it was that Long­ street's men made an assault and Pickett’s men made their charge. The former general's objective waa Big Round Top, but hia forces were driv­ en back. Picket formed hia division in brigade columns and they moved directly across the fields over fiat ground. They had no cover and they hud no sooner come into effective range than they were met by such a storm of shot as never before swept over n field of battle. They went on and on, and on clos­ ing In their depleted ranks and mov­ ing steadily forward to their death.

Th* losses at Gettysburg on both aides were enanoous. The Union army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth, Weed aad Reynolds, killed; while Gra­ ham, Barnes, Gibbon, Warren, Double­ day, Barlow, Sickles, Butterfield and Hancock were wounded. The total casualties killed .wounded, captured or missing on the Union side num­ bered nearly 24,000 men. On th* Con­ federate side Generals Bemmes, Pen­ der, Garnet, Armlstead. and Barks­ dale were killed, and Generals Kemp­ er, Klmbal, Hood, Heth, Johnson and Trimble were wounded. The entire Confederate loss is estimated to have been nearly 30,000 men. Th* third day's fight at Gettysburg was a victory for northern arms, but it waa a hard won fight and the con­ flict reflect* luster today upon the north and tbe south.

Johnstown Parle. France.—Death is by no means tbe sudden change which our minds, laden with metaphysical tradi­ tion, Imagine. We talk of something —the soul—flying away from the body. It Is seemingly all over. But It may not be, concedes tbe official bulletin of the French Academy of Medicine. A well known doctor has shown thst every function of life save consciousness may be kept up. This authority sees nothing extravagant in tbe idea that medical science may some day go a step farther. It may restore consciousness even after it has beea pronounced to bo extinct— provided fundamental chemical trans­ formations have not supervened. For a period as long as a decade French physicians have said it is possible to restore the action of the heart after “death" by means fo hypodermic in­ jections. Even la so-called sudden death there is a period which in French medical literature is called "psychic twilight.” The case most in point beaming up­ on the whole subject is that of a late noted French duke. He was a con­ spicuous figure in the old legitimist chib life of the French capital. He died recently at 10 o'clock at night Hia younger son would be ot age at midnight. For the sake of the two hours—the younger son being still an infantdn the eyes of the law—It seem­ ed as If the whole of the duke’s estate must be tied up In endless litigation. But the family lawyer*—they were at the bedside—pinned their faith In the new discoveries regarding death. They made manifest to the physician* the tremendous legal consequences of the duke's death before midnight. Hypodermic injections were resort­ ed to. The heart began to beat again, the temperature of the body went up, breathing was restored. In fact, the body came back to "life,” and in thia state it waa kept until a quarter of an hour after midnight A magistrate had been called to the bouse to see to tbe interests of the "infant ward.” He witnessed the revival from seeming Msnu.

Joe Kncstrick nnd Claude Clifford, who plead guilty last winter to the charge of violating the local option law, nnd who were at that time released on suspended sentence, were summoned before Judge Smith Monday morning to answer the ques­ tions of the court as to their conduct since that time. It appears that persistent rumors and complaints have been coming to t he judge, to the effect that Davey and Kncstrick, especially were not con­ ducting themselves satisfactorily. They were placed on the witness stand and caused to testify as to these mat­ ters. the court putting them through a pretty severe grilling. Davey admit­ ted that he had been In Grand Rapids twice since he was released from jail In January and that each lime he had brought home a gallon of whiskey, but denied that he hod given it away or sold It. He got it for his own con­ sumption he claimed, and seemed to think that two gallons since January was a very moderate amount Knosirltk said he had only been to Grand Rapids once and had only brought a quart or so home with him, strictly for his own use. He also admitted going to Kalamazoo once. Clifford utld he bad been working steadily ever since January and tbe court was dis­ posed to express satisfaction with bis conduct. But the other two men were sharply criticized and warned that unless complaints against them ceased they would be punished. By order of tbe court sentence was then postponed until tbe opening day of the September term.

Severing of Kb« Aills**'* Coaaeetfoa With High Srbwl Gave Eveal Na• tare at Farewell to Her. One of the many commendable things which Miss Clara Allison has done for the welfare of Hastings schools has been the organisation of the Hastings Classical Club, composed of the students in Latin who have taken one year of that study. The club meets monthly or oftener, for an evening of study and sociability com­ bined, and at the close of the year a 'banquet is given, at which some dis­ tinguished guest, like Prof. D’Ooge, is Invited to give an appropriate ad­ dress. » Last Saturday evening the fourth annual banquet of the club was given at Emmanuel parish house. The oc­ casion was particularly interesting In that it was the last banquet which could be given under the direction of Its founder. For Miss Allison goes to Owosso next year. Nearly one hun­ dred people marched in and took their places at the tables. Including high school students in Latin, graduates who had work under Miss Allison, members of the high school faculty. Superintendent and Mrs. Conkling. Professor B. L. D’Ooge, head of the Latin department at the state normal college, and a few other Invited guests. The tables were prettily decorated with roses, ribbons and candles and the menu, served by. young ladies and gentlemen of the high school, was all that the moot fastidious could desire. After the invocation by Rev. W. J. Lockton. an hour was pleasantly spent in enjoying the banquet Than came the toasts—Sidney Shipman, president of the crab, introduced the toastmaster, Miss Hasel Fuller, of the class of 1910. Miss Fuller tiled the office with tact, good taste and wit After her introductory remarks, a girls* chorus sang an Invocation to Jupiter, very impressively. Miss Cleo Crook, *15, responded to the sentiment “Then and Now," making Interesting contrasts between the old Roman times and the present “A Democrat's View,** was the sub­ ject on which C. F. Field was asked to speak. He gave a number of reasons why he considered the study of Latin in our high schools desirable for all students, Instead of only the few who were preparing for college, and closed with an expression of ap­ preciation of the splendid work Miss Allison has done for Hartings schools. Raymond C. Smith of the. class of ’18, showed In his response that there is “Nothing New under the Sun.’* Mias Martha Striker then sang a selection very charmingly. Hobart Thomas, class of *15, then recited "The Chariot Race” as described by Sophocles. Dr. B. L. D’Ooge, who had come all the way from Ypsilanti to attend this function, was next Introduced. He gave a most entertaining and helpful talk on “Things That Are Worth While,'* particularly applicable to the young men and women whom he ad­ dressed and who, if they heed his ex­ cellent advice, will not fall to esti­ mate correctly those things tn life that are really worth while. One statement which Prof. D’Ooge made will be surprising to many, be­ sides those who heard him make It— ‘ You may not know,** he said, "that Hasting* high school is known all over the United States on account of Its Classical Club, but such 1b the fact.’’ The remark thus casually made opens our eyes to the initiative and resourceful character of the lady who has organised and conducted so successfully the Latin work in Hast­ ings during the last eleven years. It has resulted in putting Hastings ou the educational map in a very unique way. Miss Hah Bide I man. class of *14, described briefly "An Old Theme;" Alias Ruby Gaskill, class of *12, read a translation of an old Latin will, very humorous, a quartet sang a Slumber Song, and the girls* chorus brought to an appropriate close a very enjoya­ ble banquet, by singing the old Latin college song "Qaudeamus."

Why not reorganize the Barry County Bar, Press and Pulpit, and in­ clude the physiciansT It would seem that a 15.00 per year assessment would provide for semi-annual con­ ventions, and bring men together who should be in close touch with progressive movements throughout the county. Some sort of entertain­ ment or current topic discussion and program would make the meetings Interesting and instructive.

Forty-two Taung Lives Close Bekos! Life in Hastings, The Fast But a Prelude to tbe Years to Came. Water Csnsamers Take Notice. This week has been an eventful one in the lives of forty-two of the young people of Hastings and vicinity. Commencement is in Itself a wonder­ ful time to those who casting aside the duties of the public school and Its attendant restraint feel the burst of a new manhood and womanhood Bill­ ing their entire systems. It is the end of one life but the beginning of a greater and broader sphere of activi­ ty for all. Borne will tread higher paths of education while others will step out into the wide arena of life equipped for it* battles only so far as a school of the scope of our Hastings schools can equip them. The last week of school begun Mon­ day morning when the old chapel was filled to Its capacity to listen to an address by Professor Holden, a former educator In the Hastings schools who Is now engaged In spreading the gos­ pel of alfalfa to the winds of the earth. The exercises were opened by an excellent musical selection by the High School orchestra, and as the harmonious notes floated out upon the ears of those present one coaid not help but compare the present with the days of "Auld Lang Byne" when the little organ or the square piano was the only music to enliven the oc­ casions. ■ Following the musical selection Superintendent Conkling told the young people present that be found much pleasure in presenting to them Professor Holden, who in the days long since gone by had been a promi­ nent factor In the educational affairs of Hastings. He spoke with much fervor of Mr. Holden’s early work In . this city. After acknowledging the kind words' of Superintendent Conkling and thanking all for the opportunity of being again able to epeak in the scenes of his labors of the past, he took a sort of reminiscent view of the part and told of some little incidents in his school work here. He said he would not give a cent for the boy or girl who not have a little spirit of mischief in their makeup. He want­ ed live boys and girls for the best things in life. His talk was pleasing to all. Following the remarks by Professor Holden, Mrs. Flora B. Renkes, a mem­ ber of the faculty took the platform and In well chosen words spoke a pleasing eulogy on the work of Miss Clara Allison and Principal Wallace. Il gave her much sorow to learn that Mies Allison was soon to go from our schools where she has been such a power for good along educational lines, but found some solace in the fact that we were still to have with us such an excellent instructor as Mr. .Wallace. Miss Allison responded with much feeling to the kind remarks. Owing to the extreme hot and dry weather and the limited pumping capacity of the water works, you are earnestly requested to use all pos­ sible precaution to avoid all waste of city water. Your attention Is also called to the fact, that the use of ail set sprinklers or nosxles, is absolute­ ly forbidden, except on metered services. J. A. Woo ton. Chairman of Water Board. E. Tobias. Iwk Superintendent. The population of Hastlnga as in­ dicated by the school census, is. fully up to the 5.000 mark. Edward Waite who -has just taken the school census, reports 1077 children of school age within the city limits. Last year the number was 1048. The increase of 29 Is small, but when we remember thnt one of our factories moved away last winter, taking a number of families, It is not so bad after all. Sebool Chuuk 1977, an Increase sfS9. HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, JUNE 19,1913. JOINT BANQUET WAS PLEASANTOCCASION THE NORMAL CLASS AND ALFAL­ FA BOOMERS FEASTED AT THE SAME TABLES MONDAY. Famers, Stadrate, Teachers, B«»1smh Mea and Others Enjoyed the Feast.. and Alfalfa Talks. The novelty of a graduating class banquet and an alfalfa meeting com­ bined should have drawn a much big­ ger crowd to the Methodist church parlors Monday night than were actu­ ally present, scarcely a hundred sit­ ting down to the fine dinner that was served by the ladles of Club No. 7 of the M. E. church. The extremely hot weather probably kept many away, but those who did attend certainly felt well paid for their trouble. The affair was somewhat in­ formal in character, there being no program* or music, but was none the less enjoyable on that account The ready tact and wit of Toastmaster M. W. Vester and the happy resourceful­ ness and enthusiasm of the speakers compensated for any lack of conven­ tionality. and the class of 1918, Barry county normal school, will have the distinction of having done something new and original In the way of a claw banquet with the state superintendent of public Instruction sitting at the ta­ ble with them and distinguished lead­ ers in a great practical movement as their speakers. At the close of the feast Toastmas­ ter Vester very happily introduced tiie several speakers, first being Mas­ ter of the State Grange John C. Ketohnm. Mr. Ketcham, in his abort talk, presented some excellent idea* for Barry county farmers to work out Many counties in Michigan excel In tome one thing. Why not start • propaganda in Barry county? Why not launch out for Holstelns, for in­ stance? Why not have a campaign for corn, for pocatoes, for dairy, for altaite? Miss Louise Deming of the normal class was then called upon and gave nn excellent response to the topic “Value of Nature Study.’’ C. L. Goodrich, school commission­ er of Allegan county, told how ho lather reluctantly became converted to the cause of alfalfa, and how the children of the schools of Allegan county were interested in the cam­ paign. He complimented the Barry normal class on its slie and ou hav­ ing five boys among its members, while Allegan county class has no boys at all. J. Hackley Skinner, farm adviser of Kent county, said that when be first started out In his work, he was so unpopular that it was difficult for him to get a meal of victuals among the farmers. Now It Is different, he has more invitations to meals than be can accept He emphasised the Importance of getting good alfalfa seed, even though the coat be high and he urged the Importance of organising the altaite movement in ihe state. ' Farm Expert C. B. Cook, of Allegan county, followed in an earnest talk along the same line, maintaining that the alfalfa movement means much for the farmer. June Wedding. Mr. George C. Walters and Misa Orpha E. Wolfe, two of the highly es­ teemed young people of Carlton town­ ship, were married at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage by Rev. James B. Pinckard, Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock. The ring service was used. Mr. Lawrence Farrell and Miss Goldie Waters attended the couple, and Miss Wolfe a sister of the bride, also witnessed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Walters will spend some time in Detroit and other points af­ ter which they will make their home in Carlton. Oliver-Newell. One Dollar Per Year us™ TO UNB ADDRESS PROF. HOLDEN.

The Friday game on the home grounds was not characterised by steady playing. There were some brilliant plays, and some which tbe slaughter house sluggers, would have been ashamed of. The visitors made their first score In the second, the scorer getting on from hit by tbe pitcher, second man up got a bit, and third was sent down to first by being hit, this made the' bases full, a scratch hit, scored the first man up, a strike out and a fly to tbird ended the run getting. In the 4th one run, and another In the 5th, comprised tbeir tally. Hastings did not tally until the 4th, then four hits and a base on balls gave them a lead, four men crossing the plate before the eighth man to bat flew out to right Another score in 6th and two in 8th completed the score getting.

It DMat Bata Friday Bat the Ceatestaats Got Wet last tbe Sam, Tbe annual tug of war between the sophomores and freshmen of the high school occurred Friday afternoon. This looked for avent, just about th-i time school Is to close for the sum­ mer vacation, lx different than moot tugs of war where tbe contesting sides see which can pull the other over a certain mark. The mark in the annual events is the river, and the place generally is at the island near the Wool Boot factory, formerly known as Rickie’s resort This time tbe sophomores were on the north side of the river and the freshmen on the island. Promptly about an hour after tbe appointed time the contest began between twelve freshmen and twelve sophs. It didn’t last long—the sophs, were soon pulled Into the riv­ er. The Island being very narrow, the time the freshmen got the sophs, through the water they were also In­ to the water, on the opposite side, so both parties got wet. There waa quite a crowd of Inter­ ested spectators to view the scene, and they were highly pleased with tbe tug of war, but the freshmen, whose muscles will probably be weaker and their minds stronger, evidently thought they weren't* giving enough for the price so they picked up sev­ eral sophs, and ducked them Into the river. , And say, they all enjoyed it. No Looking Back in Hastings New Evidence Censtautty Bring PubHsbed. Since the long succession of Hast­ ings reports were first published In the local press there has been no look­ ing back. Hastings evidence contin­ ues to pour in, and—better still—those whose reports were first published many years ago, verify all they said In a most hearty and unmistakable way. Read the experience of Mr. N. J. Bronson, of E. Thorn St. Says Mr. Bronson: “My kidneys gave me trouble. I suffered a great deal from backache and distressing pains across my loins. Often my back was very bad and the kidney action was Irregular. I heard so much about Doan's Kidney Pills that I used them.

At some ot the point* where meeting* were scheduled the crowd did not materallse and tbe meeting was not held. But at most paints there were enough fanners present to make the meeting worth while, and at others the crowds were large, and the interest fine. The Journal-Herald published the complete itinerary last week, and it Is not necessary to repeat IL W« bhall try to give another story ot the campaign next week, showing some­ thing of the results accomplished and hoped for.

I FACE SEVEN Why You Should Have a Bank Account BECAUSE It helps your credit to pay your debts with a check on the bank, and creates a favorable impression in the business community. It sets your family a good example and shows them that you have their welfare at heart by taking care of your means. It will hold you up when you are sick or out of work. A bank account creates a desire and pride to make it as large as possible and it is wise for all to provide for the “rainy day” which is liable to come sooner or later. . If you pay your debts by drawing a check on the bank the check must be en­ dorsed before the bank will pay it, and it then becomes a legal receipt for money paid. No one can claim that you did not pay them, as you can show their endorse­ ment on the check which paid the debt. If yon keep an account with the bank and meet with some disaster and do not have sufficient money for your purpose, the bank feels under obligations to accom­ modate you in the way of loans. The bank will nearly always lend its depositors money when it is declining loans to other people. # Start an account today with this old reliable bank and you will never regret it.

Before starting each experiment, the pigs were fed alternately with raw and cooked meal in order to start each lot on an equal baste. Green al­ falfa was fed the pigs In experiment No. 1. and boiled potatoes or boiled carrots to experiment No. 4. All the pigs were also fed some skimmed milk. The following figures give tbe more Interesting facts * retarding these experlmenta: Years ago among some of tbe ear­ liest feeding experiments conducted with pigs wm a oomparison of the relative merits of cooked and un­ cooked food. Various agricultural col­ leges and experiment stations made studies Id this field, and the results were that very generally it was clear­ ly shown that hogs gained fMter and more economically on the uncooked food than on the cooked. Not only wm this demonstrated as a practical proposition, but from a scientific point of view It wm shown that the digesti­ bility of tbe food was lowered by cooking, the proteids especially being affected. There Is no doubt but that the work of the American investi­ gators in this field very generally put an end to cooking feed in this coun­ try. The writer well remembers vis­ Iting a very large hog-feeding plant In Indiana some fifteen years ago. with the request to suggest any Im­ provements in methods, and found an extensive plant for cooking feed In full operation. Involving more labor than one might suppose. The result of my visit wm tbe abolishment of that method ot feeding hogs, and a considerable saving of expense. Only very rarely doss one now find food being cooked. In winter a warm slop is desirable, but that is quite a differ­ ent proposttton from cooking the feed Experiment 1 Kind S or food.

Comments of World-Famous Men on the CHAUTAUQUA Keep in Mind that Our City i» to Have a Great Seven-Day Chautauqua Program Thia Seaaoo. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. Ex­ President of the United States. says: ‘The chautauqua is the most distinc­ tively American thing in this country.” Hon. William Jennings Bryan. Secretary of State, says: "Tbe chautauqua affords one of the best opportunities now presented the public speaker for the discussion of ques­ tions of interest to the people. The au­ dience is a select one and always com­ posed of the thoughtful element of the community, and as they pay admission they stay to bear. I believe that a con­ siderable part of the progress that is now being made along the line of moral and political reforms is traceable to the influence of the chautauqua.” Dr. Frank W. Gitnsauhts. the World's Greatest Preacher and President of Armour In­ stitute of Technology, says: “The chautauquat have become a great paople’a university. They arc among the greatest feeders for our colleges and universities. He further states that tea per cent of the students in the institu­ tion of which he is president. Armour Institute, owe their presence to the Chau­ tauqua mfluence. Hon. Champ Clark. Speaker of the National Houee of Repreeentatives. 9ayK “A great many newspaper wits shoot their shafts at chautauqua lecturers, and certain purse-proud editors undertake to make it a aia for a public man to tectore for pay.

In arranging to inaugurate this Chautauqua this year the local commrttee bought 1,000 $2.50 season tick­ ets, which will be sold while they last by than for $2.00 each. When these tickets are exhausted no season tickets thereafter can be had for less than $2.50. Also, the price of season tickets will not be re­ duced from the first day to the close of the chautauqua. The single admissions to the differ­ ent sessions of this chautauqua aggre­ gate more than $5.00, so it will pay you to buy a season ticket even after the program is half completed. For the single admissions to the respective entertainments see program. Season tickets are non-transferab!e except within the own­ er’s family. CHILDREN’S TICKETS admit children aged six to four­ teen years inclusive. Only child’s tickets will admit children to the children’s work. , How Stonewall Jackson Died, I Stonewall Jackson, who, next to | Lee, was perhaps lhe most disllnI guished general of the confederacy, died fifty years ago. May 10, as the result of wounds received at the Bat­ tle of Chnncellorsvllle, May 2, 1863. In the confusion of tbe bnttle and fall­ ing dusk he was shot down by south­ ern troops. The story is graphical­ ly told by Mary Johnson in her novel, "The Long Roll.” The moon was coming up. She silvered the wilderness about Dowdall’s tavern. She made a pallor around the group of staff and field of­ ficers gathered beside tbe road. Her light glinted on Stonewall Jackson's saber and on the worn braid of the old forage cap. The clamor about Chancellorsvillc. where, In hot baste, Hooker, made dispositions, streamed east and west, meeting and blending with, westward, r> like distraction of formnlg com­ mands, of battle lines made In the darkness among thickets. The moon was high, but not observed. Behind him Captain Wllbourne of the signal corps, two aides and several couriers, Jackson rode along the plank road. There was a regiment drawn across this way through tbe wilderness, on the road and in the woods, on either band. In places In the wilderness tbe scrub that fearfully burned the next day and the next was even now afire; and gave, though uncertainly and dimly a certain illumination. By it the regiment was perceived, ft seemed composed of tall and shadowy men. “What troops are these?” asked the general. “Lane’s North Carolinians, sir, the Eighteenth.” As he passed the regiment started to cheer. He shook bis bead. “Don’t men. We want quiet now." A few hundred yards from Cbancellorsville he checked Little Sorrel. The horse stood, fore feet planted. Horse and rider, they stood and list­ ened, Hooker’s reserves were up. About the Chancellor bouse, on tbe Chancellorsville ridge, they were throwing up intrenchments. They were digging the earth with bayonets, they were heaping it up with their hands. Turning Little Sorrel, he rode back along the plank road toward hl» own lines. The light of the burning brush had sunken. The cannon smoke floating in the air, the very thick woods, made all things obscure. , Stonewall Jackson came toward the Carolinians. He rode quickly paat the dark shell of a bouse sunken among the pines. There were with him seven or eight persons. The horses* hoofs made a trampling on the plank road. Tbe woods were deep, the obscurity great Suddenly out of the brush rang a shot an ac­ cidentally discharged rifle. Some gray soldiers among Lane’s tensely awaiting ranks spoke from the coie of a fearful dream; "Yankee caval“Fire!" called an officer of the Eighteenth North Carolina. The volley, striking diagonally •cross tbe road, emptied several sad­ dles. Stonewall Jackson, the aids and Wllbourne wheeled to the left, dug spur and would have plunged into the road. “Fire!” said the Carolinians, dressed to the left of tbe road, and fired. Little Sorrel, maddened, dashed in­ to the wood. An oak bough struck bis rider, almost bearing him'from, the saddle. With his right hand, from which tbe blood was streaming, in which a bullet was Imbedded, be caught tbe bridle, managed to turn the agonized brute into the road again. There seemed a wild sound, a confusion ot voices. Someone had stopped the firing. "My God, men! You are firing into us!” In the road were the aides. They caught the rein, stopped the horse. Wllbourne put up his arms. “General! Gener­ al! you are not hurt? Hold there! Morrison—Leigh!" They laid him on the ground be­ neath the pines and they fired the brushwood for a light. One rode off for Doctor McGuire and another with a penknife cut away the sleeve from the left ann, through which had gone two bullets. A mounted man came at a gallop and threw himself from his horse. It was A. P. Hill. "General, General! You are not much hurt!” “Yes, I think I am,” said Stonewall Jackson. "And my wounds are from my own men." The aides lifted the wounded gen­ eral. “No one.” said Hill, ''must tell tbe troops who was wounded." Th: other opened his eyes. "Tell them simply that you have a wounded of­ ficer. General Hill, you are in com­ mand now. Press right on. A litter was found and brought and Stonewall Jackson was laid upon it The little procession moved toward Dowdall’s tavern- A ehot pierced tnc arm of one of the bearers, loosening his hold of the litter. It tilted. 'Hie general fell heavily to the ground, nlurlng afresh the wounded limb, strik­ ing and bruising his side. They raised him, pale now and silent, and at last they struggled through the wood to a little clearing. On May 5 Stonewall Jackson was carefully moved from thb wilderness to Gulney’s station. Here was a large old residence—the Chandler house— witbin a swoop of grass and trees; about it one or two small buildings. The great bouse was filled, crowded to Its doors with wounded soldiers, so they laid Stonewall Jackson in a rude cabin among the trees. The left arm had been amputated in the field hospital. He wns thought to be doing well. At daylight on Thursday he had his physician called "1 am suf- I fcrlng great pain,” he said. "See what is the matter with me.' And presently, “Is it pneumonia?" | That afternoon his wife came. Hu was aroused to speak to her, greet her with love, then sank into some­ thing like stupor. There were times when he was slightly delirious. He gave orders In a shadow of the old voice. “You must bold out a little longer, men; you must hold out a little longer! Press forward—press forward—press forward! Give them । canister. Major Pelham!” Sunday, the 10th, dawned. It was sunny weather, fair and sweet, with I all tbe bloom ot May, the bright trees | waving, the long grass rippling, wa­ ters flowing, the sky azure, bees about the flowers, the birds singing pierc­ ingly sweet. Mother Earth so beauti­ ful, the sky down-bending, the light of the sun so gracious, warm and vital! A little before noon, kneeling be­ side him, his wife told Stonewall Jackson that he would die. He smiled and laid his hand upon her bowed head. "You are frightened, my child. Death is not so near. I may get well." The doctor came to him. “Doctor, Anna tells me that 1 am to die today. “Oh, genera), general! It is so." He lay silent a moment, then he said: “Very good, very good! It is all right.” Throughout the day his mind was now clouded, now clear. Tbe alter­ nate clear momenta and the lapses Into stupor or delirium were like the sinking or rising of a strong swim­ mer, exhausted at last, tbe prey at last of a shoreless sea. At times he came head and shoulders out of the sea. opened his grey blue eyes upon his staff. Tbe sea drew him under again. The day drew on to afternoon. He lay straight upon the bed, silent for the most part, but now and then wandering a little. His wife bowed herself beside him; in a corner wept the old man, Jim. Outside the win­ dows there seemed a hush as of death. “Pass the infantry to the front!” ordered Stonewall Jackson. Tell A. P. Hili to prepare for action!” tho voice sank; there came a long silence; there was only beard the old man crying In the corner. Then for the last time in thia phase of being the great soldier opened his eyes. In a moment he spoke, in a very sweet and calm voice. “Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.” He died.—Houston (Tex­ as) Post. the making of a boy, tUte v---------camp authorities of the Y.

Then the man himself votes, end breaks the tie.’ Tbe pastor urged the elect-grad­ uates to cast tbeir Ilves on the side of the oppressed and down trodden and to obey the Call ot tbe Highest.

Two hits one a two bagger, waa all the visitors could do up to the fifth inning. In the fifth a pass, and two singles, netted a run.

H Is an old. old story we have to tell. It la an old. old acene, we have to describe. Every year for thirty­ seven successive Junes, Hastings High School has repeated the story and re-enacted the acene. And yet It is ever new, ever Interesting, ever witnessed with happy, proud hearts, ever an occasion of triumph, of the bright hopefulness of youth and of the fond pride of parents. And so the thirty-seventh annus! commencement of Hastings High School, like all it* predecessors, was an occasion of great Interest in the yearly affairs of our city and drew together a large concourse of Inter­ ested friends, the auditorium of the M. E. church' being completely filled Friday afternoon when the forty-two young men and women of the class of 1913 marched in and took their places on the platform. After the invocation offered1 by Rev. W. J. Lockton, the high school chorus of young ladles sang “Voices of the Woods'* under the direction of Miss Fetter. On Miso Blanche McCallum fell the duty of giving the “Salutatory" and •he performed her part very ap­ propriately and gracefully, taking for her theme “The Higher Good of Edu­ cation." Mias Lilli ji I. Pock had the class motto for "her theme, bringing out the thought. “The Past Is bat the Prelude,” in a clear and effective way. Sidney Shipman, followed with the class poem, a cleverly written and pleasingly delivered effusion in thyme, upon the subject of hie class. After a selection from Troxel's or­ chestra, Miss Bertha M. Ferris, read from formidable roll of manuscript the class history. The story was not formidable, however, but it was pleas­ ing and charmingly told. Mies Elsie B. Holmes then delivered the class prophecy in which she took an inspired' glimpse Into the future and saw her class mates in im­ agination In the misty future. Of course she depicted them with many touches of humor that caused merri­ ment to those who were acquainted with the members. The hlih school chorus next ren­ dered a very pretty selection of Pinsutl’s, in a very creditable manner. The class orchestra was then given by Maurice Foreman, his subject be­ ing “The Coming American." He •bowed careful, thoughtful prepara­ tion, and his delivery was that of a young man who has a future before him in oratory. Miss Bernice A. Pennock then gave the valedictory, taking for her theme “Potential Power." She handled her subject In a clear and logical way that showed conscientious scholar­ ship. After an excellenly rendered over­ ture by the orchestra, J. C. Ketcham, president of the board of education, proceeded, in his pleasing and im­ pressive way. to the presentation of diplomas, prefacing that act with a few thoughts, suggested by the oc­ casion. There were two things, he said, that impressed themselves on bls mind as be looked upon the class be­ fore him. Investment and profits. The city of Hastings has probably In­ verted 325.900 in educating the class, the members have Invested twelve years of hard work, the parents have given seventeen years of self-sacri­ fice and labor. The profits, however, will amply repay all this investment It’s Up to CsMwator. The Coldwater-Battle Creek elec­ tric road seems likely to be built. After several years of perolstent hard work a syndicate of Chicago capital­ ists have agreed to finance the road and a construction company has been secured to complete the same in rec­ ord time.

This quota is In bonds, draws 6 per cent, interest, a firtt Hen on the road, and the purchase price to be paid, when the cars are running on ths completed road. The completion of this road will enhance the chances of the project­ ed line from Battle Creek to Grand Rapids via Hastings, in our opinion one of the best paying interurban lines In Michigan.

He and two other Hastings men, Lyman Rock­ wood and Henry West went to Lowell cn motorcycles Sunday and were re­ turning when the accident, happened. Where the road crosses the Per® Mar­ quette tracks at Alto, It runs parallel with the track a ways and then turna and crosses the track at right angles. West was ahead. Craig followed and Rockwood came last, the three men being some little ways apart West got across all right, but Craig in some way tailed to see or hear the west bound flyer, and ran his motor­ cycle square Into the train, near the tender of the engine. It Is thought that, as he had just made a turn, necessitating his slowing down, and as the road was graded up a little to cross the tracks, he was absorbed In regulating his speed and so failed to see the train until he was right upon Lt. His motorcycle was buried to one side and its rider with It. Rockwood and West were soon on the spot and went to the relief of their companion. The train stopped and took Craig on board. He was un­ conscious at first, but soon regained consciousness. His skull was frac­ tured and he was otherwise badly cut and bruised. Wert went with the in­ jured man to Grand Rapids, Rock­ wood coming home in charge of the motorcycles. Craig's machine, a newone, was completely wrecked. The young man was taken to 8t. Mary's hospital, where his injuries were attended to by Dr. Louis Barth and Dr. H. J. Grimes. It was found that there was a fracture of the skull, and cuts on the head, the ankle and various parts of the body, but no bones, aside from the skull, were broken, and .lt is believed the young man has a good chance for recovery.

Other speaker* gave in­ structions as to culture, others gave their experience and their failures, as well as their mode of culture. The meetings oft times became inter­ locator? and questions and answers were freely interchanged. Other subject* were taken up, especially the rural question. Weary and tired, but exceedingly encouraged the speakers returned to the city Thursday evening, some ar­ riving at midnight Friday meetings were eight in number, beginning at the Star school house, then Dowling, Banfield, Johnstown Grange hall, where a bountiful dinner was prel<ared by the ladles, and where an elaborate discussion was had, inter­ rupted by an occasional warning of R.

Here as elsewhere the interest shown was encouraging, in­ dicating that alfalfa innoculatkra, had really set in. Next came Assyria Center the home of Preston Jewell and a lot of other good fellows. Here a hundred or more farmers loaded with Inquiries and criticisms met the full contingent of speakers, who were kept busy explaining the culture of - the new hay crop. So much interest was shown that a part of the force was detached and sent to the Sam.

As it was the cars had about all they could do to climb the clay hills, and keep in the road. The meeting at Nashville was some what marred by the heavy but wel­ come rain, but a hundred and more gathered to hear the story of how to grow the soil enriching legume which for three hundred years has been grown in Mexico and other foreign countries.

Last Monday was the limit of the date for application of eighth grade scholars for district aid In tuition in cne of the three highest high school* nearest to their homes. Every child under sixteen year* of age most be In school or regularly employed, without regard to whether or not he or she has passed the eighth grade, according to an amendment of the.compulsory school law, which has mow become a law. Beginning with August 15, any child claiming exemption on account of baring passed the eighth grade must secure a work permit from the county commissioner of schools or from the graded school superintendent, and must be regularly employed at some lawful work if physically able to do so. This law, It Is expected, will have a decided tendency to keep boy* and giris'ln school for a longer period, and an increase in high school enroll­ ment 1* assured.

The average yield of al­ falfa is about double the average yield of clover. Alfalfa increases farm values be­ cause it enriches the soil Instead of depleting It a* grain crops do.

Alfalfa is the premier crop—be­ cause it excel* every other crop In yield per acre—In feeding value—as a drouth resister— and m a soil enricher. Alfalfa Is no harder to grow than clover, and therefore because of Its many excellent qualities should be grown on every farm. No farmer can do better than to follow the ad­ monition of this chart, and make a beginning to grow some alfalfa. START NOW. m <8*1 ALfiUJ* SOO UMOTHY SCO By means of a series of experiments carried on over a number of years, the average yield of alfalfa per acre ha* been found to be 5.4 tons, where­ as red clover yielded only 2.5 tons; timothy 2.3 tons; brome grass 1.3 ton*. Nnot only doea alfalfa yield more than twice the tonnage of red clover, but it also makes a much more valuable feed. In view of the foregoing, why should the farmers of the United States keep on growing 50,000,060 acres of timothy and clover, and only 5,000,00 acres of alfalfa? Would it not be much more profitable to simply reverse the figures, and grow 50,000,­ 000 acre* of alfalfa, and only 5.000,­ 000 acre* of clover and timothy? Thiakit over. Of the entire alfalfa plant, the stalk comprises 60 per cent., and thu leaf 40 per cent, whereas, the quanti­ ty of the protein In the stalk Is only 40 per cent., while the protein In the .leaf is 60 per cent. Moreover only 20 per cenl. of the fat Is to be found in the stalk, while 80 per cent, is in the leaf. It is. therefore, very im­ portant that the alfalfa be harvested at tbe proper time, and carefully bandied so that all the leaves will be saved.

Canada 1* not a corn country, and therefore the yield wiu light, but the difference vjaa still found to be in favor of alfalfa sod. which yielded 24 bushels per acre, r.s compared w||h 18 bushel* of timothy *od. These finding* are simply astounding, and furnish anoth­ er very excellent reason why alfalfa should be grown on every farm. In speaking of the value of the al­ falfa crop, Hon. A. P. Grout, presi­ dent of the Klinois Alfalfa Growers' Association, says: “1 know of noth­ ing which will do more for the de­ velopment of the state, or add more to it* wealth, thn a thorough knowl­ edge and understanding of alfalfa."

This is the positive opinion of hundreds of thousands of happy and contented housewives throughout this country. Tho oi wa —» Deafness Cannot Be Cured j ALFALFA BQ6T VAUIAU According to the 1910 censua of the hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew 18,000 acres of alfalfa which averaged 2.8 tons per acre for the entire state, and the average acre value of the crop was $31.00. During the same year, the combined acreage of timo­ thy and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre valued at $14.00. It costs no more to grow an acre of alfalfa than it does to grow an acre of timothy or clover. Therefore, assuming that the cost of growing an acre of clover or timothy to be $10.00, the fanner your attention to UJMJk CUM* cidyer MCUATWN *K«jM AUUfft EMOTES 1HE LAND SAVE HE AjjftLf* LEAVES Only about 5,000,000 acres of alfalfa are grown in the United States today, as compared with about 50.000.00u acres of timothy and clover—46,000,­ 000 acres of wheat, and more than 100,000,000, acres of corn. Of the 5,000.000 acres under alfalfa, only 2181000 acres of this crop is grown cast of the Mississippi River. Ab you will note by referring to the chart, nearly 1,000,000 acres of alfalfa, or one-fifth of the entire area, is grown in the state of Kansas alone. In the rank of states grow­ ing alfalfa, Nebraska is second; Colo­ rado, third: California, fourth. The great Corn Belt state* such as Iowa. Illinois and Wisconsin, rank very low in tbe production of alfalfa—and it ds in the Com Belt states, there­ fore, that the need for growing al­ falfa is found to be the most urgent. BONT BUY IT By careful analysis it has been found that alfalfa is equal to bran in protein content. Wheat bran costs about $21.00 per ton, whereas alfalfa can be grown for $5.15 per ton as shown by the figures presented on this chart. Why should any one buy wheat bran when it costs four times its much as alfalfa, and alfalfa makes Just ns good, or even better, feed than wheat bran? ALFALFA OUT YIELDS 4 TO FACE THREE \ ALFALFA EQUAL To ERAN BRAN COSTS ALFALFA MH - would clear $4.00 per acre In grow­ ing these crops, whereas the same farmer if he grew alfalfa would reap a profit of $21.00 per acre.

In the matter of digesti­ ble protein, alfalfa leads with 12.3 per cent., surpassing even wheat bran by 1.1 per cent. This chart presents some startling disclosures as to the great value of alfalfa, but It may not be very easy for evety one to understand the full meaning expressed In percentages. There­ fore, another chart has been prepared showing that alfalfa Tanks highest in digestible protein per acre.

By careful analysis it lias been found that al­ falfa yields 875 pounds of digestible protein per acre, tis compared with 491 pounds In clover. This is a very remarkable showing in favor of al­ falfa. Protein is the most essential ele­ ment in feed stuffs, therefore. It will readily be seen how valuable alfalfa Is as compared with clover, oats and peas. corn, timothy, or sugar beets. Slimmer at Bay View.

To meet the demand for an accurate map of Gettysburg and vicinity during the great memorial celebration which will be held at that historic point be­ ginning June 29—fifty years after the commencement of the terrific fight which sealed the fate of tbe hitherto sanguine Confederacy—the United States Geological Survey has combin­ ed four of its topographic sheets and printed a large map. The map covers about 925 square miles, Including the Gettysburg battlefield and tbe adja­ cent portion of Pennsylvania as well aa the adjoining portion of Maryland, and is on tbe ample scale of one mile to the inch. It shows accurately the site and shapes of the mountains and ridges, and by means of contour or .elevation lines the exact altitudes of every hill, slope, valley, and pass. AU the roads by which Lee brought his main army in from the west arc shown,.and the course pursued by the Army of the Potomac under Hooker end later under Meade can be readily traced. Such familiar bloody fighting grounds ns Little ‘Round Top, the Wheatfield, and the Peach Orchard are shown in their exact topography almost as clearly as in a bird’s-eye photograph, as is also the ground over which Pickett’s division of 18,000 men. the flower of the south, made its fam­ ous but futile charge—a charge, how­ ever, which accomplished its probable purpose of deterring Meade from fol­ lowing up his victory with a pursuit of Lee’s shattered columns. Buch a map would have been worth a thousand times its weight in dia­ monds to either of the commanding generals at the battle of Gettysburg, where the fate of their great armies and probably of the Union and the Confederacy hung on the issue of a day. The surveys on which the map Is based were made in cooperation with the Pennsylvania State Topo­ graphic and Geological Survey Com­ mission and tbe Geological Survey of Maryland. This map can be obtained from the United States Geological Survey. The regular price Is 40 cents a copy, but by special authority grant­ ed by the secretary of the Interior It will be delivered postage free in a mailing tube until July 4. 1913, at 20 cents a copy. Remittances should be made to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C„ in cash or money order. The Grange aad the Farmer*’ Prob­ lem*. The following article, taken from the last number of The Michigan Pat­ ron, written by H. L. Houcks, is re­ produced by request. It no doubt re­ dacts the sentiincuts of many farm­ ers. There is a movement in the middle west Hint is attracting attention, and organizations are springing up In sev­ eral places to solicit funds by private subscription to employ experts and establish demonstration farms for the purpose of teaching the farmers more scientific and better methods of farm­ ing. Complaints arc made that in many cases the farmers do not appreciate this service, and are not availing themselves of it as they should. In the beginning of a general discussion of the formers’ problems it may be well to Inquire why the farmers ns a class do not welcome this innovation, why they think that it will not solve their problems—and then follows with un outline of what the organized iarmors are advocating as the true solution. Why select agriculture as the one and only great industry in the nation requiring this special education at the private expense of those indirect­ ly Interested? What effect will it have on the in­ dustry, and those engaged In it? Have they not kept pace with other Industries in improved methods of production? Our competitors In the world’s mar­ kets have had the advantage of state owned and operated railroads for transportation at cost, and in some instances state owned elevators; and yet we have met them, paying all the traffic would bear over our privately owned railroads and through our pri­ vately owned elevators. What other industry has, or could have done so well? In all these external efforts to aid the farmer from Presidents Taft and Wilson down, tbe main object as stated 18 to Increase production, so as to REDUCH THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, indirectly placing the whole blame for the high cost of living on the farmer, which Is not true and Is not fair. If Increased production means low­ er prices, and it does, how will It help the farmer, to produce more and get less for It? . Food products have not increase*] in prices as rapidly as other products. Under our present system of uncon­ trolled marketing the fanner does not receive as much for the bumper crop as for tbe medium or average crop. -How does the price of farm prod­ ucts compare with 20 years ago? Can tbe fanner produce as cheaply as he could 20 years ago? Can the farmer exchange the prod­ ucts of his farm for as much of the things he needs ns he could 20 years ago? That is the true test In discussing this question I wish it distinctly understood that 1 am do­ ing so from n general, or national standpoint, and any apparent criti­ cisms are not intended to apply to the many generous men who are locally trying to assist the farmers. 1 believe In better farming, in scientific farm­ ing, In bringing practical education as close to tbe farm ns possible. It is absolutely necessary so long as our competitors are doing so. Indeed, our competitors arc spending much more per capita for the encourage­ ment and development of agriculture than we are, 1 think It is safe to say that our new great competitor, Can­ ada, is spending 25 times as much. What I wish to emphasise Is, that If it Is better education the fanner needs, it should be at public expense. Increase our public educational facil­ ities, not only for tbe fanner, but the mechanic, the manufacturer, the banker, the railroad manager, and the commercial men and women. Treat all alike. Let It be vocational educa­ tion of the moat liberal kind, the beet investment that that state and nation can make. 1 will try’ to demonstrate before I conclude this scries, that as a matter of fact, the farmer is less in need of this special education, provid­ ed by the private generosity of the representatives of other Industries, than any other. The education the farmer now needs the most Is along the lines of co-oper­ ative transportation, distribution and sale than to production, many of them fixing the price the customer must pay before the product leaves the fac­ tory. The farmer alone, on the advice of other interests, limits his efforts to production and permits those other Interests, to take charge of the more Important functions of distribution and sale. There is where the profits go. There is where the big margin Is between what the farmer receives and the con­ sumer pays. The organized fanners have their eyes on that margin.

In the curtain-front type of poultry bouse used at tbe Maine experiment station a feature of the original plan on which considerable stress was laid wm the canvas curtain in front of the roosts. This curtain, together with tbe back wail of tbe house and the drop­ plugs board under the roosts, formed a closet In which the birds were shut up at night during cold weathef. When the curtain-front house was first devised it was thought essentia! to provide such a closet to conserve the body heat of the birds during the cold nights when the temperature might go well below aero. Expe­ rience has shown, however, that thia wm a mistake. Actual test shows that the roosting closet Is of no ad­ vantage, even in such a severe cli­ mate as that of Orono. On the con­ trary, the birds certainly thrive bet­ ter without the roost curtain than with It It has been a general ob­ servation among users of the curtain front type of bouse that when the roost curtains are used tbe birds are particularly susceptible to colds. It ta not bard to understand why this Should be so. The sir in a roosting closet when ft lx opened ta the morning is plainly bad. Tbe fact that it la warm in no way offsets physiologically the evils of its lack of oxygen and excess of carbon dlcxld, ammontecal rapcrs, and other exhalations from the bodies of ths birds. that the roosting closet was at Meat unnecessary. If not In fact a positive evil. Consequently tbe time of be­ ginning to close the roost curtain In delayed.

HITOn, inm, UM, lowing article written by David Gib­ - son, editor of the Bank Notes Magaine, will open his eyes to the fact The attempt to plunge the country into a panic was actually made, ac­ cording to Mr. Gibson, and it would have succeeded except for the prompt­ ness' with which the democratic sec­ retary of the treasury came to the relief of the country. Words cannot be put too strong in denouncing any attempt to plunge the country into a panic, and no punishment on the statute books is too severe for the men who would thus bring ruin and distress on innocent millions of bo­ urns beings. Here is Mr. Gibson’s account and it should be read and pondered by every person who thinks that Wall Street has been abused. j , A money panic, carefully planned by Wall street bankers and beside which 1893 or 1H7 would have seemed pros­ perous times, has been nipped in the fr 4, be retired by the votes of honest men, and his power annulled to do evil to hi* government and good to the soul­ less corporation* who use him, Spot the scab, and do him up, when the time cornea, no matter what poli­ tical faith he may profess.

Vol. 2, No. 32. ANNUAL PIONEER MEETING The extremely hot, humid weath­ er of last Thursday, was not con­ ducive to large gathering*, especially of the older class of our citizens who compose the county pioneer society. Nevertheless there was a very good turn out at the forty-second annual meeting, held In Odd Fellows* hall Thursday forenoon and afternoon and those who did attend listened to an interesting program and had a pleas­ ant time. The program opened at 9:30, with the singing of "America,” followed with prayer by Rev. David B. Pope, of Hickory Corners. William W. Pot­ ter, president of the society, read a historical paper which he had pre­ pared, outlining the conditions of the western country a century ago, and the Incidents that led up to the ad­ mission of Michigan In 1837, and end­ ing with the local bearing of these events on the beginning of Barry county. Referring to the specula­ tive, "wild cat" banking times, Mr. Potter says: "Real estatc^boomers were busy and speculation ran high. Bellevue and Battle Creek then each claimed to be at the head of navigation on the Kala­ mazoo, and the dredging of the Thorn­ apple and of the Grand for the pass­ age of lake boats was seriously dis­ cussed. All of the banks In Michigan, even the State banks at Detroit, of -which Eurotas P. Hastings waa the president, > were deeply involved in land spec^lMou. There must be n day of reckoning. Boon the bank notes redeeemable in specie, general­ ly put in circulation as far from their place of issue as possible, began to drift back. There waa no specie to redeem them. Muttering* of dis­ content were heard on every hand. The value of the paper currency put .in circulation by them began to fall to its value. It sank ten per cent, and then twenty and forty and eighty per cent., and finally reached a point where It was absolutely worthless. The state became involved in financial scandal with the Morri* canal and Banking company over the five million dollar loan. All the banks in the state suspended specie payments. The state itself became insolvent and could neither pay it* debts or bor­ row money for that purpose. It was without credit. A national bank­ ruptcy law wa* passed to stem the tide of Impending ruin. The state of Michigan among other* repudiated its obligations. The banking taw of 1887 wa* declared unconstitutional, and the bank note* issued by all the banks became worthies*. The great system of internal Improvement* pro­ jected by the legislature never ma­ terialised, and the Improvements that had been made -were sold out to pri­ vate enterprises. In the place of prosperity and abundance the new community suffer­ ed from starvation and ruin. Most of the settler* stayed because they could not get money enough to get away. Middle village. Thornapple ' village and the village of Barry were forgotten. The Clinton and Katamasoo canal was abandoned. The Mon­ roe and Grand River railroad, whose proposed building raised high hope* of the land owner* along the way became but an empty name. The Hastings Village company was hard pressed. Some of Its members be­ came bankrupt, and the lots which had once been held at high prices now became worthless and a burden upon the owners, and so In 1854 iu assets were sold out under an order of the court of chancery of the sec­ ond district of Michigan, and its af­ fairs wound up. Buch in brief was the experience of Barry county in the great western land boom of 1838 ” Then came the report of Mrs. Sarah Huffman as secretary and treasurer, and the report of Judge Smith who gave the recrotogy for the year. This report Is given elsewhere in th!* paper. At the business meeting the follow­ ing officer* were elected: President, W. W. Potter; vice-pres­ ident, C. A. Welssert; secretary and treasurer, Mrs. Sarah Huffman; his­ torian, Clement Smith; executive com­ mittee, Mis* Rose Goodyear. Mrs. J. B. Marehall. P. A. Sheldon. After music. C. R. Watson, of Irv­ ing, read a paper on The Bull's Prairie Settlement, with a sketch of the life of A. E. Bulb The article Is so full of historical interest that we reproduce it in full, as follows: “Looking for a chance to make a good investment?" How often do we hear these words spoken today. Such words or others conveying the same meaning were spoken by an agent in the state land office at De­ troit one day In the middle thirties of the past century, to a well dressed and dignified looking man of scarce medium height who had not yet reached thirty years of age. These two meh of whom we have just spoken —the state land agent and the man not yet thirty—did twelve hundred and fifty dollars worth of real estate business that day in the then terri­ tory of Michigan. The young man was no other than Albert Ebeneser Bull, a keen, straight-forward. blue-eyed man, who had come to Michigan only four year* before the time our sketch commences. The land agent above mentioned was a friend of this young man, and gave him a tip that day to the loca­ tion of some of the finest land lu Barry count)' which was being ac­ quired at this time not only by land speculators but to some extent by im­ migrants as well. A. E. Bull purchased 1.000 acre* of land at this time at 81.25 per aero; 1836. The following year we find this en­ terprising and energetic young man settled upon his newly acquired lands, having In the meantime constructed a small log shanty upon what is now section 33, Irving township, for hi* accomftnodatlon and as a shelter for some hardy wood-choppers whom he had already engaged to clear off the virgin timber. This first shanty has been described ns a small affair built low down. It is said that a man upon entering had to stoop down in going in at the door. But for all that It furnished ample shelter from the rains and the winter’s blast It was In use for only a short time, presuma­ bly about two year*, at which time the second building was erected In a substantial manner. All that today marks the second dwelling site Is a slight depression in the earth which would denote a cellar having been under the building still standing about eight feet wide by ten feet long with a door in the east end that used to be In commission as a house, and wa* formerly covered with a sort of short board roof. The location of this first settlement is nearly due east from where the old stone smoke bouse now stands, about one and one-half miles eaflfl from Irving station. and hard by the banks of the coo), clear waters of tbe Sowanquesake (Thorn­ apple river). Located about two rods south from where the French fur trader Moreau's blockhouse had stood the Cisler family located In a rather small log dwelling In order that Mrs. Cl«ler might keep house for Mr. Bull. Their son, Joseph Cisler. accompanied them here, he being about ten years of age at this time. He said that his mother cried when they got here as it was so lonesome and the surround­ ings were so different and new in con­ trast to what they were from where they came down near the River Raisin. His mother cared for the home of A. E. Bull, keeping it in or­ der while they lived in the prairie. Among the company of hardy wood cutters who laid the forest primeval low with well timed strokes of their axes, the sounds of which blow* reverberated along tbe banks of the* river and through the forest fastnesses was one John Henyon who* -* wife cooked the meal* for these men inured to toll and hardship*. At one time there were as many as twenty men engaged in cutting down trees, which were dragged together into pile* after tbe logs were cut into con­ venient lengths and consigned to the ash heaps, the smoke of which clear­ ing fire* might be seen on still days to curl upwards in graceful spirals forming a canopy of fantastic figures far above the dark green foliage of the forest* which lay far below like a dark green emerald sea. An occasional eagle in passing high above the earth noticed from hl* aerial flight the things man was do­ ing far below him and catching a whiff of the smoke-laden atmosphere rose higher and higher until he was lost to the sight of the human eye as be was enveloped In the clouds wend­ ing hl* way to other haunt*. Tbe trees that these woodsmen ent dowu from day to day told them stories of which the mind of the uninitiated never dreamed. Their trained eyes in looking up the trunks of these stately elms and magnificent oaks saw where the claws of various wild animals, had left their tell-tale Im­ prints in their passage upward and downward, which mark* were some fine and needle-like -while others were long and jagged tracings. Among the smaller animals of this lime may be mentioned the raccoon and the catamount, while bears and wolves roamed through the forest* and over the oak opening* at will. Deer, taking fright at the least sound of a strange nature, bounded away from the white man's approach. A Land of Ottawa Indians used to camp down on the river flat*, a little dis­ tance southeast from this first settle­ ment at certain seasons of the year. At or about the time of the purchase of this land by A. E. Bull, the trader Moreau packed up hl* duffle and bls stock in trade, moving over to the blockhouse located on Scale's prairie.

SHALL WE BOID FOR SHEET INIWENEII BY ACTION OF COMMON POUNCIL TAXPAYERS MUST VOTE ON QUESTION AUGUST 11. Proposition f* to Bond for Ten Thonsaad Dollars for Better Read* la City’s Approaches. By reference to the election notice which has been published in the Jour­ nal-Herald the past two weeks, It will be seen that the taxpayer* of this city will be called upon to decide by their vote whether this city shall bor­ row ten thousand dollar* by bonding, for the purpose of making Improve­ ments in the streets. ' ’ Tbe motive which ha* Induced the common council to submit this ques­ tion to substantially this:—There to urgent need that tbe several roads leading out from the city be satisfac­ torily and permanently Improved and there are no funds available to make such improvement*. The city char­ ter limits the amount that can bo raised by taxation in any one year to one per cent of tbe assessed valua­ tion. and this amount must be divid­ ed among ten or a dosen different funds. This limitation means that not more than 86,000 to 86.000 can be raised by taxation for street purpose* in any one year. Now the growth of the city and the need* of the street* and sidewalk* are such that practical­ ly all of the regular street fund 1* required to meet those needs. Dur­ ing the present year. Mayor Osborn Inform* ns, about a mile and a half of sidewalk, alone to being built It can readily be seen that under such conditions the city has no availa­ ble means to make desirable, up-todate improvements on existing streets. The total amount appropriat­ ed I* taken up with sidewalks, cross­ ings and necessary repair*. There to ■ no recourse, therefore to which ths city can turn for new and ptmnnint street work except to ask the people to authorise a bond issue, and this to what the council to doing. It to proposed to bond the city for 810.900 for street improvement pur­ pose*, making these bond* payable in installments of 82,000 a year until all are paid. The payment of the prin­ cipal of these bond*, not counting the interest, would mean that a property­ owner assessqp at 81.000 would have about 88 cent* added to hl* taxes each year until the debt waa paid. The In­ terest would make it a little more than this. It to therefore up to the taxpayer* of this city to say whether they wish to add this moderate sum to their yearly taxes in order to provide the city with better streets. We are as­ sured by members of the council that tbe improvements contemplated with this fund are to be ot a permanent character. With the new steam roller there is no reason why such a plan can not be carried out Well' con­ structed, well kept, macadsmtoed, or concreted highways leading out from the main traveled street* and joining on to the good road* made by the townships, will be an excellent thing for Hastings. It 1* possible that the new state re­ ward road law can be made available In furthering tbe city's scheme of rood Improvement. If so, the fund of 810.000 which the city would raise could be materially Increased. At the present time the status of the state reward law ba* not been determined. And so, taxpayer* of Hastings, you will be asked to decide this question on Monday, August 11, next It to up to you to look the matter over careful­ ly, and deteremine whether It will not be a good business Investment to make.

IK PIONEER MEETING Continued from page one. Mt i ’A land shortened up his life by ten or fifteen years at least, since he never recovered fully from the effects ol this dreaded malady. Albert E. Bull was born March 4, 1808, In Sheffield, Berkshire county, Massachusetts. His father, William Bull, waa of English descent, a Quaker by religion, a doctor by edu­ cation and a farmer by profession. He was possessed ot wealth and a prominent man. Realising tbe real value of an education, being himself well educated, he gave his son Albert a collegiate training at Harvard uni­ versity. The young man took the law courae at this institution, later choos­ ing the profession ot civil engineer as being more to bis liking. Not long after young Mr. Bull became of age, he took up his first work away from home aa a surveyor for tbe govern­ ment In the year 1829. Only ten years prior to this time Florida bad been acquired by the government from Spain by purchase, tbe price having been 815.000,000. At the time Albert E. Bull left homo his>asMSts were 8500, which coupled with his scholarly attainments made for a rapid advance In a new country. He could handle men, having a way that Inspired them to do things. He was a leader, boosting along that which was fobthe betterment of home, community and'Mate. Before taking up more of the life In the Bull's Prairie settlement it will be appropriate to pause that we may establish a train of eventa that Anal­ ly culminated in the establishing of Irving into a township. As we noted that the town of Schoolcraft was platted out first and formed Into a townsite, and that the population, was found afterwards. So It was, in many of the new sub­ divisions of this state. In the year 1829 the legislative council of Michigan passed an act on Oct 29, setting off Barry county along with thirteen other counties at the same time. An act passed March 8, 1888, divided Barry county Into four townships viz.: Thornapple, Hastings, Barry and Johnstown. The former town­ ship, Included what is now Thoraapple, Irving, Yankee Springs and Rut­ land. In the springs of 1889, April 17, through the efforts of Albert E. Bull, what la now Irving and Rutland townships, were set off from Thorn­ apple by a legislative act. and thia new township was to be called Irv­ ing, since Mr. Bull waa very fond of ficers went about their duties as It nothing had happened; and the-fol­ lowing spring, March 18, 1841, the original act established Irving was once more passed. After getting the land cleared the next thing to do was to raise crops. In fact there was an oak opening of about 30 acres on this prairie land, a part of which the Indian squaws used to plant corn for their winter's supply before the advent ot the white men. The crops grown on this land were most abundant, wheat yielding so much as 40 bushels to tbe acre and corn and other products in pro­ portionate yield. Some time after Irving became a township, steps were taken by Mr. Bull to have the county seat estab­ lished upon the prairie. At the same time that Mr. Bull was seeing what might be done towards the accom­ plished of this undertaking, Wm. Lewis, of Yankee Springs, proprietor of the "Mansion House," and at this time in the legislature, was after the same for bls township. In fact It la said that he tried to have what now comprises the townships of Woodland, Castleton, Maple Grove and Assyria, set over on to Eaton county, while he tried to have added to Barry county the eame area that was to be taken from the eastern part of Allegan county. He thought that by this change Yankee Springs would there­ by be moved nearer the center of the county and since this township - had the majority of the voters or at least more than any other township lie might be successful. But another man came on the scene of these ac­ tions and although Mr. Bull came very near realising his ambitions he was "beaten out" to use tbe common vernacular by Eurotas P. Hastings. In addition to his other duties Mr. Bull was interested in a mill in Grand Rapids and once while going from Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo on horseback he was followed some di«tance by a panther which caused the hair on his head to stand on end as he afterwards described tbe circum­ stance. He finally eluded the animal. I Crockett calls them "varmints." After John Henyon he had success­ ively as tenants the families of Kobey Balsh and Alonzo Burse. He latter assisted Mr. Balsh to buy himself a piece of land lying northwest of Mr. Bull's prairie and adjoining the same. He assisted others to buy land, among whom we are told was Dan B. Pratt. At one time Mr. Bull owned In the neighborhood ot 4M acres of land some distance north from where the Ingram family settled in 1818. On this land there used to grow much marsh hay which was hauled to Hast- thor, Waahington Irvtag. and wished Knowing full well how needy some to do tomething to commemorate h’s of the early settlers were when he name In thia pioneer settlement. This used to give employment, it Is said bill was to hare taken effect the Slit that after paying them off for tbelr of March. IMO. For some cause or day’s work which pay often consist­ other the legislature repealed thia Mil ed of com, potatoes, or something of the day before it was to have become a like nature, oftimea he would give a law. Of course there being no way them a nice ham for a present to get a message very Quickly at that Mr.. Bull was a good man for the time, some time elapsed before the laboring class of that day and it was fact became known that auch Waa the a pleasure for them to put in good case.

Close calculation was Bull to do their duty as loyal citizens necessary in planning the bill of fare, by electing their ofleers. There were as wages averaged 75c. a day and seven voters who assembled for that com sold for 8LO0 per bushel, pota­ first election, so we are told, as fol­ toes 8LM per bushel, and pork lie. a lows:—A.

Nevertheless some of the of- benefits of an older civilization for tbe new country, Mr. Bull decided to bold a regular old-fashioned Fourth Jive, said a great writer. Do not let the of July celebration. Bo the word was mpd be brought on by a cough or cold, sent out to all tbe settlers for a radius which if treated whan it first appeared of many miles that something Im­ would have easily been controlled. Ala's portant would be doing on the date CMjRKlMa brings welcomed relief in such previously mentioned. The site upon which this celebration was held has been described as being west from about where the railroad intersect6 the wagon road. On the nearing of July 4th, 1846, the roads In every di rectlon presented a peculiar sight. There were vehicles of ail descrip­ tions, from democrat wagons loaded with happy hearted young people, io wagons drawn by one and two teams of oxen loaded down with humanity bent upon spending a day of pleasure. During the morning, which was very sultry, and it has been sa.d looked a little rainy, tbe guests kept on assembling until over one hundred vehicles were unloaded ot tbeir eep it Handy precious freight, especially the young lassies who came escorted by tbekr suitors. The horns of many of tbe oxen were decorated with ribbons of red. white and blue color, and other decorations are said to have been used, even some few flags. One young man of that time, now an old man well past the years that denote the octogenarian, yet recalls having taken three young ladies to this picnic celebration, and as oft times happens now, incurred tbe displeasure of the "fellers," who sulked nnd stayed at home. But for all that, this quartet, three girls and one young man, bad a fine time. It Is estimated that when the time came for dinner that there were at least 500 souls of the white people there to do the viands ample justice. Near a large burr oak tree, under the shade of which a platform had been erected wtych stood on the prairie the long table had been built. This was good standing height so that one could stand up to the table and partake of the sumptuous repast. It is in order to say that young sap­ lings had been cut from the forest, the butt ends of which had been sharpened and placed in the ground, and these were ranged up and down both sides of the table so that the guests ate their dinner well protected from the rays of the midsummer's sun. Guests came that day from Middle­ ville, Hastings, Yankee Springs, Dun­ can Lake, Orangeville, Gull Prairie, Prairieville and even from Kalama­ zoo county, so it is said. In addition there were somewhere about fifty Indians in attendance, including chil­ dren, squaws and men. Mr. Bull had made ample preparation for all. He owned • large silk flag which had been unfurled to the breeze, being displayed upon a pole on this occa­ sion, and in fact it was used at other times and was even loaned to be used at Hastings on special occasions. Several pigs had been roasted for the main piece of resistance from Mr. Bull's pen. He bad brought lemons from Grand Rapids and lemonade was passed around to all. It having been manufactured by the barrels full, to quench the thirst of the celebrators. The white people lined up to the table first, which was loaded with goodly things to eat, pies, cakes, bread, pickles and Toast pig, and lemonade to boot. They stood up to eat, and after they had eaten their fill, then the Indiana gathered around to clean up what was left It is said that an Indian would go along the road stop­ ping to eat at every house that he came to, letting out his belt one notch or two after each meal. By so doing he could go quite a time without food again. At any rate they cleaned up the table that day. About tbe time they were done eating or a little be­ fore, a bear came through the woods, no doubt called out of bis way by the savory odor of roast pig. The In­ dian dogs found him out at this time, starting their yelping and howling and the word was passed among the Indians that a bear waa In the woods at no great distance. Forgetting al) else they dropped everything and the Indian hunters grabbed up what weapons they chanced to have and made after Sir Brain, wbo about this time thought no doubt that be did not care as much for roast pig as he had at first supposed. The bear got away from his enemies. eluding them In some way, had the Indians came back after a fruitless chase. They slept that night down by the river’s bank, being too full to travel far, after the bear chase, the lemonade and the roast pig. The real entertainment for the day started soon after dinner. A brass band had been organized at Middle­ ville the winter before and they came out In a wagon drawn by two yokes of oxen to furnish music on tbls oc­ casion. There were ten or twelve instruments of various kinds in this band. After some music had been rendered, Galvin G. Hill, who acted as chairman of the meeting called them to order, and after a few well chosen remarks, he introduced Albert E. Bull as the main speaker of the day. We do not know the words used In addressing these people, but we do know the sentiments and ideas were that he expressed there that day. It was at this time the second tem­ perance wave was sweeping across the United States and was called the "Red Ribbon movement." In early days the use of liquor was a very common occurrence. No barn rais­ ing. or log clearing job was complete without the whiskey jug to cheer on the spirits of the workers. Liquor was cheap in those days and it was the custom for many to start the day with a glass of whiskey, to take an­ other by noon or before; recourse was had to the potions of the jug in the middle of the afternoon: and again upon retiring, to Insure pleasant dreams. On this day Mr. Bull wore a "Red Ribbon.” and first talked about the liquor evils and took the side of tem­ perance. afterwards he commenced his discussion of the meaning of the Fourth of July. It has been said that he handled his subject very skillfully. John L. Williams, of Hastings, was in attendance at this picnic and pro­ gram and says nothing happened to mar the day. It did not even rain. The Williams’ family lived in Or­ angeville township at this time and the dust stirred up by the teams that preceded his homeward journey was so much in evidence that for some it was suspended, as it were, in tbe air. They noticed this in particular when Continued on page four.

THE PIONEER MEETING From page three. they had gone as far on their way home as the Yankee Springs "Man­ sion House.” At the time of this picnic Mr. Bull was 38 years of age and In the fall of this year he was united In marriage to Miss Lydia A. Shaw, of Volinn, Cass county, Mich., she being twenty years of age at that time. One child was born to this couple which died soon after birth, there being no other children. Ten years after his mar­ riage, 1856, the large house, and the last one built by Mr. Bull, and the one now occupied as a residence on the farm, was erected. This is a Inrge, roomy house and in that day was one of the most pretentious In the country. They entertained In a royal fashion in this house and also In the second home which Mr. Bull builL At some times there were as many as fifty or sixty guests enter­ tained. It was a pleasure to be on the calling list of these good people. They have gone. Mr. Bull passing to the beyond In March, 1865, while on a visit to Great Barrington, Mass. The fourth generation is now about to assume the duties of citizenship since these sturdy actors played their part in the development of a new country. Let us mark in a suitable manner, that future generations may know the site of the historic spots of Barry county pioneer days. The doing of this will be a good thing for the pres­ ent generation. We can at least erect suitable tablets upon the site of Moreau's trading post on Bull’s prairie, the site of the old block house upon Scales' prairie, the Slater In­ dian Mission, and the site of the Man­ sion House, of Yankee Springs. Following Mr. Watson’s paper Miss Mary McElwain sang two old time favorites. Ben Bolt and Juanita, J. L.

Mrs. Wolf, of Maple prove, closed the morning's session with a poem. A picnic dinner very pleasantly oc­ cupied the attention of the pioneers during the noon hour. • The afternoon session waa opened with violin selections by that veteran fiddler, Myron A. Reed, who delighted his hearers with "Old Zip Coan." “Money Musk.’’ "Cornin' Through the Rye,” and other olden day favorites. William DeVine, of Castleton, read a paper on Early Recollections of the Vicinity of Barryville, which elicited much interest Mias Isabel Polhemus read a paper prepared by Mrs. Ches­ ter Messer, on “Old Time Physicians and Their Remedies." It described many of the old fashioned remedies and practices, most of which would be regarded by the modern profession as absurd or Injurious. A. Kerr then regaled the audience with a well rendered vocal selection. Rev. Kelsey Isaac, an Indian minister at Bradley, entertained his hearers with a rather rambling talk on The Indiana Living West of Gun Lake, and closed by singing a hymn in tbe Ottawa language. More old faahloned fiddling by Mr. Maynard, remarks by President Pot­ ter and others, and singing by tbe as­ sembly brought tbe 42d annual meet­ ing to a close. •The Choaea Om.

On the other band, the army of the Potomac, the victim of circumstances for which it was not responsible, beaten at Frederickabnrg and Chancellorsvllle, having a change of commander every few months, tbe last change being but a few days before the great fight nt Gettysburg, was the only reliance of the north, to stop Lee's bold advance nnd save the country. Success for Lee meant recognition of the confed­ eracy by the governments of Europe, and strong probability ot the triumph of the south. Success tor Meade meant the saving of the capital, the •topping ot invasion, the crushing of rebellion. In a word, the conse­ quences of the impending conflict were bound to be epoch-making. No wonder then that the eyes of the whole world were turned upon Gettys­ burg during those fateful three days’ of bloody, awful struggle. No won­ dag that the boys in blue fought magnificently and successfully; no wonder the boys in gray fought at first confidently and then with a grim desperation that culminated in tbe splendid charge of Pickett’s brigade. Today, fifty years after those tre­ mendous days, when the fate of this Union*was trembling In the balance, whet a different scene is being enact­ ed on the historic heights of Gettys­ burg. The remnants of those two mighty armies ot 1883 are again on Uttia Round Top, Culp's hill, the wheat field, the Bloody Angie, and other spots made sacred by the death ot heroes. But Instead of war and bitterness In their hearts there is peace and good will. Instead of two flags, there is only tbe ptars and Stripes. Instead of a divided country, each part bent on crushing the other, there is a common country, a common devotion to the same purposes, the eame ideals, the same destiny. It 1s the first time in the history of the world that two once hostile armies, have met fifty years after­ wards, upon the battle ground that was the scene of victory for one and Of fatal defeat for the other. And the wonderful thing, the glorious thing about it all, is that these veterans to­ day are friends. They have forgotten the differences of IMS and are rejoic­ ing in the common heritage of glory which theta heroic deeds on that •eld have left them. Today we can all, north and south rejoice in their common heroism and in the common I destiny that was that day decided for •I al). < No great battlefield has ever before witnessed such a crowning triumph of peace and patriotism as today is giving Gettysburg its second victory, the victory of forgiveness, magna• nlmity and patriotism.

While we believe there should have been a gen­ eral reduction of tariff duties, we be­ lieve the country is not yet ready for free sugar, free wool, and free farm products.”—Hastings Banner. Why not have included tree lumber, free steel and iron, free agricultural implements and tree clothing? Why not be fair, and give the schedule of the things the farmer has to buy as well as sell? Why prate about the sellers and not the consumers who represent four-fifths of the M,000,000 people? The sheep skin doesn’t cov­ er the political wolf who prates about the farmer being a loser by a revision of the tariff. The reduction of tariff duty on what the farmer has to buy will affect more than double what he ■tight lose in bis products. It is asserted by every woollen manufac­ turer that woollen goods, will go high­ er by reason of the world’s shortage of wool. If this is true and it haa not been disputed then the tariff on wool will cut no figure. As to sugar: It is well known that there is a sugar syndicate which has sought to control legislation on the sugar schedule, which shows threefifths is watered stock, on which the sugar consumers are paying a large dividend of, in some instances, 40 per cent The tariff issue should not be in politics, buv as it is forced there by designing political hucksters, the sooner it is settled the better.

Three of Mr. Stanton’s grand­ daughters, Doris, Irene and Jessie Stanton served ice cream and wafers at tables tastily decorated with crim­ son ramblers and the Stars and Stripes. There was an abundance of good music and the splendid condi­ tion of the pavilion floor induced many of those present to “trip the light fantastic,” some of whom bad not indulged In that pastime for years. The hours set for the event were from seven to ten but such a merry time was enjoyed by all that it was eleven o'clock before the crowd dis­ persed to their homes.

Violin and piano duet by Dick and Eva Kent received hearty encore nnd they gave a second number. A. L. Shepard gave a short tnlk on alfalfa he said it should be grown on every farm. It can be grown on any soil that will produce good corn and In favorable conditions may be cut three times during the season, pro­ ducing tn that time 2.8 tons per acre. This Is double the amount pro­ duced by clover or timothy. It con­ tains protein and helps to make a balanced ration. He suggested sum­ mer fallow free from weeds for seed­ ing. Tom Wilkinson gave n history of Alfalfa In the West. He said Knnsat, had a natural soil for alfalfa especial­ ly the bottom land along the rivers When it comes to plowing an old al­ falfa field it requires much time and patience. The roots grow very long, ordinarily they are 12 nnd 14 feet and he has seen them 17 feel long. Southern seed cannot be grown here successfully for the first few years. It must be acclimated. It is n very tender plant, easily Injured by frosts. This was thoroughly discussed by several members and visitors. Pro­ gram closed with a few violin selec­ tions by Mr. G. O. Kent, accompanied by Miss Eva. Club adjourned to meet the fourth Saturday In July with Mr. and Mrs. Dan. Stumpf. PAGE ELEYEJf BASEBALL Chippewas vs. Hastiags. Friday a good crowd assembled at the fair ground to see the great Chip­ pewa Redskins make the Hastings In­ dependents go some. Wasn’t it aXvful? Right from the first inning they made our boys go. In fact the locals were tired out at the end of the first | inning and the spectators were dis­ gusted. The Chips tried out four of their alleged pitchers, but one was just ns poor as the others, and It made no difference to the Hastings sluggers. It was hit and run nil the way through 1 the game. The Chippewn brass band was no good; the Chippewa base­ ball team was no good; the Chippewa war dance failed to materialise. The. following is the report of the slaugh­ ter by innings: R. H. E.

Dairy and Food Commissioner Helme Is preparing to begin his new work as official sealer ot weights and measures, when the bill passed at the last session of the legislature takes effect August 15. A set of weights and measures has been secured by Helme and will be sent to the bureau of standards at Washington in order that they may be approved by tbe fed­ eral government. Helme says there is a concern In this state that is doing a thriving business turning out “peck measures’’ that hold but seven quarts. The in­ spectors employed by the dairy and food department will make all inspec­ tions, but an effort will be made to co­ operate with the city and county seal­ ers of weights and measures. The bill passed at the last session of the legislature gives boards of super­ visors the right to employ a county sealer of weights and measures. It also provides that two small counties can divide the expense and hire one man to perform the work. The Journal-Herald “Want Ads.” Important ts Sckosl Officers.

Keenes mA lorMeut* of Encampment Where Bine ami Gray Mingled In Motaal Good WHL "On Fame** Eternal Camping ground the reveille la beat, And North and South are hurrying in friendship now to meet." This was the condition on June 28 when the heroes, the participants in the greatest hattie ever fought, took 'Taira to Gettysburg, from every point of the compass, from every atate in the onion. Fifty yean ago, the little old fashtoned town, nestled among the hills of the Cumberland mountains, was scarcely known: today It la world­ wide famous, the scene of two re­ markable victories. Fate decreed it the scene of the de­ ciding battle of the civil war. 80.000 union and 72,000 confederate^ com­ posed the battle line, 28,000 union ■oldiera were killed: 15.000 wounded, 5,000 missing. There never has been a true estimate given of the confeder­ ate Joos, but la reported to be In kill­ ed, wounded and missing 30.000. His­ tory records the tattle audit Isn’t the purpose of the writer to recount further for it would be but repetition of what has already been spread world-wide. through Gettysburg, and found no enemy. The lack of proper camp outfit, characterised the entire Michigan di­ vision not only for the first night but all through the entire encampment, and had it not been tor the kindly assistance of Sergeant George Bessmer of Co. A, 5th U. 8. Infantry, a former Hastings boy, the Hastings contingent would have suffered. His personal effort brought additional blankets, the one great need, and the weather becoming warmer, the sleep­ ing became more a fact than the pre­ vious night. We do not know why Michigan was served so shabbily. Other states, through their state commission, had their tents well equipped, plenty of blankets, water palls, etc. Early Monday the writer took a hike to the town two miles away and wandered over that part of the battle ground where the Michigan cavalry did most of their fighting. Gettys­ burg, a Village of 1,000 to 1,500 in 1863, has greatly changed. It has now a population of 6,000, good factories and enterprise are In marked contrast to the sleepy little hamlet, scared out of Its wits a half century ago. We found there a former Hastings boy, Mr. Van Slouten, and wife, who visited our camp and extended an Invitation Continued on page three. She Was Doubly Remembered. Possibly. Mrs. John B. Mulliken, of the second ward, would have forgot­ ten that Tuesday was her slxty-nlntli birthday, if she bad not had a lot ot friends who reminded her of the fact Thirty-two very nice, appropriate birthday cards came to her that day, from relatives and friends. And that is not all. For in the evening her children, grand children and great grandchildren (she has five of the latter) made her a surprise visit, bringing with them a nice pres­ ent, as well as refreshments In the tom of Ice cream and cake. It was a very happy gathering and Mrs. Mul­ liken was deeply effected by such a manifestation of love and esteem.

HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, J ULY 10,1913. DEATH CONES IN LIGHTNING’S STROKE ARTHUR ANDRUS, FORMER HAST­ INGS BOY, KILLED INSTANTLY AT CLARE, JULY 4. While Watching Sporta of the Day From Judges’ Stood, Himself sod One Other Mau Were Victims. County Clerk Roy Andrus was called up by bis father, Enoch Andrus, ot Clare, Friday afternoon, and In­ formed that bia brother Arthur had been accidentally killed and that the body would be brought to Hastings Saturday.. This intelligence was a great shock to the many relatives and friends here. No particulars could be learned at first but Saturday's pa­ pers gave a brief account of the acci­ dent, showing that lightning bad struck a judge's stand on the race course at Clare while races were be­ ing run, Friday afternoon and that Arthur Andrus and one other young man had been instantly killed and several others more or less injured. Fuller details were given later from which it appears that Arthur who bad gone to ithd fair grounds to report the games and races for his father’s pa­ per, the Clare Sentinel, was standing in the upper part of the judge's stand, holding his watch in his band to time the races, when lightning strack the roof of the stand. The electric fluid passed down the right side of his body, into the room below where It passed through the body of another young men, killing both men Instant­ ly as well as severely shocking a number of other people. The body ot the dead young man was brought to this city Saturday, accompanied by the afflicted father and mother, and Mlsa Avis Suther­ land, of Clare. The funeral was held from the home of Arthur’s brother. Roy, 130 East Ce.ter street, Sunday afternoon. Rev. M. Grigsby officiating, and was largely attended. The Inter­ ment was In Riverside cemetery. Arthur Andrus was born in the township of Irving In this county, July 3, 1885. His boyhood was spent on the farm. He attended the dis­ trict school, the course of which he completed, receiving his eighth grade diploma when he was twelve years old. Later he attended the Hastings high school, graduating therefrom in 1904. Afterwards he took the civil service examination for the position of railway mail clerk, serving for some time as substitute in this state and afterwards went to California, where he was mail clerk on the run between Ban Francisco and Ogden, Utah. Even when a mere lad he would talk about becoming a doctor and later purchased a large work on anatomy and studied it during odd moments. When he returned from California, however, he decided to take up the study of law and by private study, coupled with the few weeks of one summer term at the university, he completed the first year’s work. At the close of the sec­ ond year's work he engaged In can­ vassing to earn the means to continue the course which he completed last month. While recovering from a serious surgical operation and before he was able to engage in heavy work, he en­ tered the printing office of bls father, rapidly became quite expert In much of the detail work of the oflk^ln which he took much interest, becom­ ing a fair type setter and readily running any of the presses. A good portion of the “locals" during thia time were gathered by him. He had a happy faculty of “mixing" with all classes and little local news escaped bis attention. He gave evidence of making a genuine success of news­ paper work had be continued In IL Three times previously had he gone close to death’s door. When a lad of eight he was accidentally shot and lingered for several days between life and death. Again while In Cali­ fornia a nearly fatal sickness came and two years ago an operation for appendicitis saved lilm when a few hours’ delay would have been fatal. But It seemed that an inscrutable fate pursued this talented young man. who had made such careful, and con­ scientious preparation for life's work, and Just as he was ready to use his talents, the end came with tragic sud­ denness. Il will be a consolation to his family and friends to know that he leaves behind him a fine reputation and a clean and upright life. HoafstaMer. The body of David Houfstalter was brought to this city yesterday from Ste. Marie, where In a demented con­ dition he cut hla throat, and died from Its effects, Monday morning. Mr. Houfstatter was an old resident ot this county. He was aged 88 years 9 mo.. 20 days. He leaves two sons and four daughters. 814486 IN COUNTY TREASURY.

John Burns, the citizen-soldier of Gettysburg, who was made famous iu history, in song and in story, was a real character, sure enough. At the tone of toe battle he was high consta­ ble of the village, and revelled in the office. He had no special instructions, but felt it to be his duty to preserve order in his bailiwick, and to appre­ hend all suspicious characters. As toe two armies approached Gettys­ burg. confederate scouts and spies ap­ peared in the town, and were prompt­ ly nabbed by Burns, who filled the lockup, the basement of the church and a warehouse or two and was still on his job when on that lint day Bu­ ford and Heth got Into hand-holts around Culp's Hill. From General Reynolds he learned that there was going to be a real bat­ tle, and John decided to be in it. With­ in an hour John Burns, citizen, ap­ proached Major Chamberlain of toe One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsyl­ vania, and begged to be allowed to fight with that regiment. He wore a blue swallow-tail coat with brass but­ tons, and a high bat, and carried n Long John muzzle loading rifle, his pockets bulging with powder and ball. Col. Wister finally told him to get be­ hind a tree and fight, and he did. He fought all day and was wounded three times. . He was bom in New Jersey in 1703. and served in the Mexican war, and was one of the first to enlist in the union army, but the age limit retired him. He was 72 years old’ when the battle of Gettysburg was fought, and died in Gettysburg in 1872. For his loyalty and bravery the state of Penn­ sylvania erected a monument to his memory, at the very place where he fought—tbe citizen soldier—alone and without a commander. . THl'IWDAY.

But climatic condi­ tions and the water -hastened our de­ parture, and we regretfully passed what we knew would be a pleasure. (Pardon the digression). We saw the patched holes made in the brick houses, made by both rebel and union artillery, saw the six pound solid shot still sticking In one bricx wall where for fifty years it has stuck, a mute reminder of the battle, the owner of the building refusing to have It removed, though often importuned to sell IL Reaching camp close to the noon hour, we rested, and then began an Interesting survey of the camp which by the way was upon the very ground over which the famous Pickett’s charge was made. This time the camp was in an oat field, the oats just turn­ ing were nearly up to the hips, and a fairly good crop. To the west ot our camp was that of the confederates, or more properly speaking that of the southern states, for there was little division between the residents of the states, north or south as neighbor* tented together little caring which wore the blue or the gray. The soldiers of both armies mingled freely; “they drunk from the same canteen," literally. They roamed over the battle fields in pairs, and groups; they laughingly or sorrowful­ ly, related incidents of the battles, but there was no rancor, no ill-feel­ ing. One “Johnnie” put it this way: “You all make us proud of you; yon all give us credit, for onr bravery, and when you do this we all feel you have a right to the record you have made. Tbe war is over flow, we are all unkm men. Thank God, the war ended the rMrt way.", Then came tears, as the extended bands clasped.

In the summer of 1858, when I was 10 years old. I came to Barry County with my mother, who came to see about some land we had In Castleton township, and to let a job of building a house. After stopping a day or two at Mr. Mudge’s, wo went to James B. Mason’s on the banks of the Thorn­ apple river. 1 remember seeing them making the dam for the Mason saw­ mill. . 1 don’t think there are a dozen per­ sona in Barry Co. that know of a mill being built there, and not over two or three that could locate the site. It was bulk on the youth bank of the Thornapple river on See. 28, about 1 ft miles from Thornapple lake, u few rods below what Is now known os tbe Turner Bridge. The fans for the water wheel and all the wood work for the mtll were hewn out on the banks of the river. This mil) never proved a financial suc­ cess, os It took too much water. After running a few years it broke down on a large whitewood log they were saw­ ing for our barn and was never repair­ ed. While they were making the dam James Mason, Clark Palmer and John Delong, killed a sturgeon, with a can’t hook and hand spike. Some years ago one ot the mud sills was taken out of the river and used for an end post tor a wire fence on the corner just east of the Mudge school house on hind now owned by Geo. Hayman. It is hard and sound al­ though It has been cut 60 years. My mother and I moved to Castle­ ton on the 1st day of December 1858. My father died in Marshal) wnen I was three years old. After leaving the Assyria, Maple Grove line it was mostly through the woods. The first few years we lived in Barry Co., we saw a good many Indians, but were never afraid of them, many times we would not know they were around till the door opened and we heard them ray ’•Booshoe" (How do you do). We never locked the house night or day. When we went away we would set up a stick against the door. No Indian would open the door. The Indians I remember best were Sundago and Asknanw. Sundago was a friend of Mr. Mudge. I remember him talking tn meeting at a quarterly meeting held In Mr. Mudge's new barn. While Askusaw was a friend of Anson Ware, they frequently wont hunting ami fish­ ing together. Nearly the last time I saw Askasaw, he brought us a nice pickerel, all dressed ready to fry’. There was a young Indian called '.’nt-hoy, about my own age, son of Sxndngo. whom I went fishing ana r.vlmniinc with at Indian landing. He went west, but some years ago I saw him In the big whortleberry marsh In Maple Grove. THURSDAY. JILY 1(>, 1918. Another Indian I remember seeing a few times, they called John Bull. 1 never saw him around with the oth­ er Indians. It was generally sup­ posed he had had some trouble with the rest of the tribe. He hud a small clearing on the north bunk of the Thornapple, a little below where he was found dead with a bullet through him. It was never known whether it was nn accident or whether some one shot him. My father, Charles DeVine, located a half section on Sections 28 and 32 In 1836. Most of the land In Castle­ ton township was not located until 1837 and some as late as 1857. As there were no roads in that part of Burry Co., he traded the land on Sec. 32 to Seth Davis, of Marshall. Davis moved on the land and built the first frame barn in Castleton township. This barn is still standing on what was known for a good many years as the Chris Krill farm, now owned by Sylvester Oversmlth. Davis was the first postmaster appointed In 1842. Cyrus Buxton built the first frame house on Section 32.. John Delong built the largest log barn In Barry County on Section 28. It was 100 ft. long with a stable on one end 12 feet, making 112 ft. The first three years he was on his farm he did not have a wagon. Ho had what he called u "Canada jumper." a sleigh made of poles. The last year tie used It, ho had 40 acres ot heavy grain nnd hay nnd drew It all on this sleigh. He frequently went to Hastings with It to min and to do his trading In the sum­ mer time. The old stage that ran through Bar­ ryvllle was, as 1 remember it, a cov­ ered four horse stage with 3 seats In­ side, accommodating six Inside and two outside, but sometimes they put 9 inside. The regular stopping place* were at Deacon Whitcomb** at the top of the BarryvHle hill, Tremen’s on the Maple Grove Assyria line; and the Tamarac now called Assyria Center. The people In those early pioneer days generally had good appetites. X remember one family who were cal­ culated tolbe good eater*. If they had any thing to eat. Some times food was rather scarce. I remember after a Sunday school picnic some of the ladles picked up a bushel basket full of cake, pie and chicken and sent it to this family. Albert Smith (Phin Smith'* father) lived near them. One of the boy* wo* named Carlton. We always called him "Cart.” The next morning he wa* down to Smith'*. He said to him, “Cart, you have got some thing to eat for quite a while now.” all up before we went to bed." I was over there in the spring of the year. They had two big kettle* of leek* on the stove cooking. There must have been nearly a bushel of them. They cooked them -bottoms, tops and all together. They said they had had nothltng but leek* for two days. The first few year* we could nearly every Sunday morning hear the sound of the horn, as It came over tbe lake and up through the trees from the Landing a* the Indians were called to church. I In the fall ot 1875, Delilah Webb, one of Anson Ware's daughters, caught the school in District No. 5. Castleton, known as the ’’Checkered" school house. There were four of Askasaw** grandchildren attending school, two boya Charley and Frank, two girls, Mary and Julia. Askasaw was a Christian Indian. He frequently came to meeting at the Mudge schoolhouse and took part in the meetings. He had a wigwam near the Morgan sawmill dam. When he died he was away from home In Carlton trapping. He died Feb. 20th, 1876. After his death he was brought 'back to the wigwam. The day of hl* funeral H. D. Webb, Anson Ware's son-in-law, drove Mr. Ware's team. He and Mr. Ware and others took the body to the home of John Morgan, where the funeral was held. From there the body was taken to the Ber­ ryville cemetery. The funeral ser­ mon was preached by Rev. 1. N. Crit­ tenden. then living just east of Mor­ gan. The bearers were Anson Ware, John Morgan. Barber Meade and Mr. Webb thinks F. D. Boules. Through the influence of Mr. Ware and Henry A. Goodyear there wa* a headstone put up at his grave.

Educationally the West Michigan State Dav and Night Fair, which is to to beW at Comstock park Grand Rapids from Sept 1 to a inclusive, will be second to none. Tbe man­ agement having selected for its ■otto the Wore ‘‘Education'7 is put­ ttag forth a crest effort to make the fair the best ever along that toe aa well as the many others. Caatrai Nifk School. The value of this last statement is greatly enhanced when it is known that in the educational de­ partment alone over flWO will be ottered in prizes. The educational department will be better systematized this yw than it has ever been before This being due largely to the many much advised changes made in that department. The premium list has 'been carefully and studiously gone over bv those thoroughly competent to handle such revision, with a result that promises much in the way of an exhibit. As director o( the educational department it is hardly probable that the management could have secured one more capable than Mr. Jesse B. Davie, principal ot Central High School at Grand Rapids Sir. Davis ta recognized throughout the country as one of our greatest ed­ ucators, being one ol the first to champion and develop the voca­ tional idea for public schools. AMoelated with Mr. Davis in the educational department will be Mr?Chas. M. Mills also of that city as supervisor of the exhibit. One of the departures in the pre­ mium list and rules for exhibits in the educational dept, from what has been the custom- heretofore is that beginning with the kinder­ garten and continuing to the eighth grade inclusive, premiutns will be offered for the nest col­ lective exhibit of work done by the pupils in the several grades of the public and parochial schools of Michigan The collection offered as an exhibit is to be composeu ot one selection rack of the various divisions named in the classifica­ tion and must consist ot not less than one-half and not to exceed three-quarters of the full classi­ fication, the teachers , of each grade making an exhibit are at lib­ erty to choose which divisions are to be omitted. Awards will be made on the entire exhibit of the grade instead of each separate ex­ hibit as of heretofore. The prises in this department range all the way from $3, *5, $7, and lit foftto beet kindergarten exhibit to M 612, U 5, and flit for the best eighth grade exhibit. Also, under this classification is a division forspeetai schools such as those for excep­ tional or defective children. Those schools which are organ­ ised on a departmental basis with special teachers in art and manual training and which ere known as Junior High Schools will not be permitted to enter the reg­ ular seventh and eighth grade classifications as a special dapaitment to provided lor their ex­ hibit. One of tbe features of tbe de­ partment for high schools to a cunurni auhiuwjv" v* Michigan.” Each essay is to include a discuslion of grain, fn>tt. vef®T table, and Ute etock together with the natural conditions and facu­ lties contributing to the raising and marketing of the Prt*duct*., Nature study contests for pupils of both grammar and high will be held. The Contest will be conducted by exposing to specimens of birds native to Mich­ igan. The contestants will beasked to name as many of the birds so exposed as they can. Both school and home garden teste will be held in which eares nhotogrsphs of the gardens will be exhibited and Judged from. Last but not least will be tbe spelling contest which will also be in two divisions one for pupils of city schools and the ether for thoae in village or township schools. __ It is anticipated that .thrae noteworthy changes and additions will prove such an incentive that the educational exhibit alone will be well worth the time and ex­ pense of going hundreds of miles to see. Heretofore the exhibits of this nature have been ver/ fine becoming better and better with each succeeding year but none at them will be comparable with the one which tt to expected those, who attend tbe fair this year, will have the opportunity ol viewing. Boys snd girls epend devi l frareuit ot a knowledge ot th ricate and technical questions which confront them; but there in one week with the stimulating sur­ roundings and tbe opportunities not provided elsewhere they wiU rivit to their memories the most (iutohed works of nature as it has, with the cooperation ot scientific man, wrought Its wonders. To these will be added the a­ chievements of mechanical skill and genius until no matter which way they turn they will be in con­ tact with the latest and most po­ tent methods of the world’s work, thus filling their mind with ideas •which will impress tbelr Uvea as well as tbe lives ot those with whom they Uva. �■A8TIKG8 JOURXAL-HLRALP, THURSDAY, JI LT W, Ifilfi, KiENANPOAH PACE WIWE aod captured by tbe enemy, had been regard aa a candidate for tbe presi­ recognized by bls former comrade.

It wsa on a bright, sultry Bunday morning of mid-July that tbe two artnko of brothers—disrupted members of a family republic that had bold together for three generation*—first emerged in serried battle lines six miles long from tbe mysterious Vir­ ginia forests on either side of Bull Bun and ruabed forward to fight breast to breast for victory. The Federal plan of operation*, cred ited to tbe still masterful Lieutenant General Winfield ScotL started with tbe planting of an entire division of fully 15.000 men in tbo rear at Outer rille, to protect the eommunlcationa.

Tbe Hoes of blue wavered and broke, fell back from tbe plateau, acroea the Warrrenton pike and oo toward the Bpll Run fords.

With two Federal armies ready to wore tato Vlrrlnl*—that of McCHM* at Washington and that under General Banks opposite Leesburg—to say noth­ ing of considerable bodies of troops harassing the northern counties about tbe bead waters of tbe Potomac, tbe Confederate prospects for tbe spring of 1802 were decidedly threatening. To protect this portion of tbe state and to guard tbe lower Shenandoah valley against General Banka, tbe Confeder­ ate government determined to send a force to Winchester. This force, organ­ ized under tbe official title of tbe “Army der the command of “Stonewall" Jack­ son. now advanced to tbe rank of ma­ jor general. Thia waa great news to tbo Elliaghams. not only for tbe naive reason that It seemed to them like throwing an impregnable guard around Belle Bou­ quet and tbe whole valley, but also and especially because of Captain Robert Elltngbam’s part in tbe growing pres­ tige of tbe "Stonewall** brigade. Tbe valley of Virginia comprised within that section of tbe Appalachian plateau bounded' on tbe east by the Blue Ridge and on tbe west by a range of tbe Alleghenies called there the North mountains, stretches •from the headwaters of the Shenandoah near Staunton on tbe south to the Potomac on tbe north, u distance of considerably more than a hundred miles. At tbe upper end thia valley Is more than forty miles wide, while at Strasburg, fifty miles south of tbe Potomac, tbe extreme width is scarcely twenty-five. A broad macadamised road, tbe fa­ mous Valley pike, traverses the entire region from north to sooth, with lateral road* extending to tbe mountain boun­ daries on either side, those toward the Blue Ridge connecting through varloua gaps with tbe railroads of eastern Vir­ ginia. This beautiful and fertile region called for protection for its own sake os well as for that of Its patriotic pop­ ulation (of which tbe Elllnghams were a fair sample', its numerous black slaves and the rich supplies which its lush meadow kinds and broad planta­ tions furnished. It was especially important from a southern military viewpoint that the valley should be held intact by a Con­ federate army.

The copper In the inside o” heart of stalks wns much smaller In amount, and ranged from 3.3 to 10.3 parts per million. In the leaves of the celery, however, which are the pan* of the plant especially sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, there wore found from 157.6 to 288.4 parts of copper per million parts. The chemists found that most of the copper in the inner and outer stalks disappeared on washing. After washing by hand or with a brush, there was only from 3 to 9 parts per million in the outsid ■ stalks and from 1.4 to 3 parts per mil­ lion In the Inside stalks or heart. These quantities are Infinitesimal, and mean that a person would have to eat from 9 to 18 lbs. of celery dally-to reach the amount of copper which, If dully consumed, would, according to the experts, have any direct effect on the health. As soon as the presence of copper on celery was determined, investiga­ tions were at once begun to find its source, and to deiermlne ways of avoiding It. The copper. It was found, resulted from Improper methods of using Bordeaux mixture on the part of celery growers. At the same time It was found that the use of Bordeaux mixture, according to the investiga­ tions of the bureau of plant industry, I* absolutely essential to the growing of celery in many sections of the country, especially in Florida. The department, however, found that the spraying apparatus used by many cel­ ery grower* doe* not operate at a suf­ ficiently high pressure to make a fine spray or mi»t. A* a result of this faulty apparatus, the Bordeaux mix­ ture is applied In a number of fine stream* instead of a mist, and these instead of merely settling on the leaves and killing the Insect*, run down between the sulk*. As a result the mixture accumulates at the base ot the t>lant. and is not washed out by the rain. This sometimes give* o green appearance to celery, which causes many people to think the color result* from Paris green, whereas the green tint is simply a copper-stained lime.

The announcement that a team composed of natives of the Philippines would cross bats with the Hastings Independents drew a good crowd io the fair grounds last week Wednes­ day afternoon.

It is almost generally known that the application ot fresh stable manure to the soil immediately before planting often tends to Increase the amount of scab on the resulting potato crop. This theory brought up tbe question in the mind of an Investigator whether it Is safe to feed uncooked potatoes or po­ tato retuse to animals in stalls with­ out taking precautions to prevent un­ eaten portions from becoming mixed with the litter. Experiment* were car­ ried on for two seasons with a horse and a cow fed infected potatoes, and the results Indicate that the germa of potato scab are able to pass through tbe digestive tract of both species aad go into the manure pile without being destroyed. This was much more read­ ily the case with the horse than with tbe cow. The manure of horses fed on raw potatoes is very likely to carry tbe germs of the disease. On the other hand, that from cown fed a moderate quantity of potatoes Is probably not a serious source of contamination. No matter what some people toil you. turnips and other roots make fine milk-producing feed. Turnips, says one writer, will not affect flavor of milk If fed at tbe right time. If turnips are fed ta targe quanti­ ties. and two dr three hours before milking, they are Hable to give tbo milk an unpleasant taste, but if fed directly after,, milking, no flavor whatever ta noticed A peek of turnips to each animal per day is sufficient in moat cases. A little salt scattered over the tur­ nips, which should be ehopped In quarters or smaller, add to their pals lability.

VwAer HMbfog Tsang Wkl. **■ Troopers Repelled Staarl’s Attack m RfetL There is so much of error in the pubiiehed reports of the great battle •t Gettysburg, and of the reunion of blue and gray, on the scene of that •vent that we desire to "be heard" once snore, in relation to the part taken by the Michigan Cavalry brigade. We digress to state that the fa­ mous Custer brigade of Michigan cavalry, consisted at that time of four Michigan cavalry regiments, vis.: 1st, 5th, Sth, and 7th. No other troop.8 were in the brigade, and if we remember rightly, a portion of the 1st Michigan Cavalry waa on detached service, while we positively know that Company I and M, of the 8th were still absent In such service. Custer bad succeeded Copeland as brigade commander and we saw no more of the former. We remember, being on detail service at brigade headquarters, of a solemn conclave of officers of the several regiment* who consulted together on the ex­ pediency of sending a protest to Gov. Blair. It was dropped however to await results, and, in the language of Lt Col. Foote, "give the damn boy a trial." June Mth, the brigade first saw Custer, a boy truly, with flow­ ing yellow hair falling to his should­ ers, a slouch cavalry hat. a well fitting cavalry jacket, and mounted on a splendid horse, with fine equip­ ment of cavalry trapping* he rode along the line followed by an orderly, and one staff officer. He , was the cynosure at all in the command and the wonder came, bow such a “boy" could aspire to lead, the fine body of men composing the brigade, the pride of Michigan soldiers. The "wonder” was short lived. In leas than three days after he was the idol of the brigade* for Hanover, he led the charge on July 2d. It was ngt "go boys," it was “come on" and he wm there with "the boys,” until his pro­ motion in Sept. UM, to a division commander. Brilliant, dashing, yet ever mindful of his men. cautious, too, only venturing when success seemed possible. It Is sad to think of his fate. But to return to the main subject, that of Michigan’s cavalry brigade, and its wonderful part in the decisive battle of the civil war. Only four days previous to July 3d. was the boy commander, placed at the head of the men, who made Cus­ ter's fane and their own. With scarcely time to select bis staff, with changing superior officers, who knew little of the untried cavalry, in bat­ tle, Custer was confronted by Wade Hampton, and Fltshugh Lee. the lat­ ter by the way, a class mate of Cu>; ter at West Point, with two brigades of Stuart's cavalry, the efficient arm of the Rebel army. On the morning of July 3d. on tbe extreme right, not on the left, of the Union army, as some writers have written, Stuart was found and promptly challenged. Almost at the .w instant the earth quaked with the terrific cannonading, .which ’pre­ ceded Picket's charge on tbe center of tbe seven miles battle line. Col. Alger with the 5<h Michigan, was the first to engage ths enemy, where dismounted, armed with the seven shooter Spencers they held back. W. H. F. Lee’s dismounted brigade supporting the rebel skirmish line. Two squadrons of Pennsylvania infantry, and a New Jersey regiment tell back, leaving the field clear to the Wolverines. The 1st Virginia Cavalry, (Union), made a charga mounted, and Custer at the head of the 7th Michigan started in to the left to aid. On and up to a fence near the Rummel barn, went the "Musk­ rats," 7th Michigan under a galling lire of artillery and musketry, jumped from their horses and officers and men bodily lifted tbe posts out of the ground, remounted and pressed on. across a plowed field to a second fence and within a few hundred feet of the rebel battery protected by an­ other fence. Then they fell back, and re-formed. Over to the right the enemy had thrown down the fences and were preparing for a charge. Col. Alger had mounted one batalllon. The Ninth and Seventeenth Virginia, rebel, struck the flank of tbe 7tb Michigan and Major Trowbridge dashed to the rescue. Tbe ground could not be held, and the gallant battalion retired pressed by the 1st Virginia rebel cav­ alry. Then Alger with the balance of the 5th dashed in and the enemy was ■driven back to cover. Then came a lull, but not for long, for with a terrific yell Pickett's pride of Virginia, hurled itself against the center of tbe line, while Wade Hamp­ ton, with a fresh brigade of rebel cav­ alry. appeared on Custer's front. Evidently a well planned move for Stuart to break the right while Pickett split in twain at the center. Success of this meant the annihilation of the Union army, and an open right of way to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash­ ington, for a demoralised army could have offered little resistance to the march of a victorious foe. But the veteran 1st Michigan Cav­ alry, bronzed, hardened and skilled, was there tor just such an emergency nnd as Gen. Gregg rode over and ordered a charge Custer dashed up and riding by the side of Col. Town, they met the Hampton’s cavalry, which had suffered from Chester’s battery, which had kept up firing until it endangered the Union troop­ ers. When within SO yards of each other, these cavalry-men on both sides re­ alised that it was a fight to tbe death, and Custer rising In the saddle, and waving bls sword, shouted: "Come on, you Wolverines," and then camo the clash of sabers, tbe sharp spitting of Spencers. Tbe dash of the 5th and 7th Michigan to tbe aid of Custer, forced the rebels to retire, broken and sullen, though they numbered nearly four to one. Pennington’s battery of six pieces did yeoman service, the 6th Michigan supporting It, and receiving a danger­ ous baptism of shell and cannlster. ’ As the pride of the Southern Infan­ try under Pickett, withdrew from the center, Stuart’s ca’-alry, the pride of all the south,- suddenly withdrew from the field; its noted general, Hampton, wounded, and Its spirit broken. That night the victorious Wolverines re-formed, and prepared for the next day’s conflict, even before the news reached them that victor) had perched upon the Union forces all along the line. The decision was final and long before dawn of the 4th. Lee’s army was in retreat toward the Potomac, why or through what means he was allowed to escape, has never yet been fully explained. Reaching Hagerstown and Williamsport, his pontoons swept away by tbe flood, out of ammunition and nearly famish­ ed with hunger he was allowed to escape. The Michigan cavalry under Custer numbered 2500, nearly half of the Michigan men in that battle. Custer's loss was 219 men. Only within a few years has this state been given the honor due, for the part its gallant soldiers played in the decisive battle of the war. Michigan troopers saved the day at Gettysburg.

BOARD 8f E8Kffl« Annual meeting of Hastings city school district Monday evening. 14. at 7:30 p. m. The official call of the meeting was read by the secretary. Minutes of last annual meeting were read and approved. Bupt. Conkling made Ms annual VOTED $75,000 FOR NEW SCHOOL HOOSE THAT IS WHAT ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING DID, WITH ONLY THIRTEEN PRESENT. HstUa to Balse Serwd Hailes fa Was Ls< Bat R*Jm Wm Carried 7 to <. If the action of tbe annual school meeting, held in the high school room Monday night, is carried into effect, the taxpayers of this city will be call­ ed upon to pay 375,900 Id taxes next December, over and above the 326,000 regular school taxes, which the run­ ning expenses of the school require, and we shall soon have a new 375.900 school house. And there were but thirteen voters present at the school meeting! R. M. Bates is the man who sprung the sensation. At first he moved that the meeting raise 380,090 for a school building. Twelve men voted, and the result was six votes yes and six votes no. Chairman Ketcham, kfter consid­ erable hesitation, decided the vote lost Then Mr. Bates made a new mo­ tion that 375,000 be raised, and M. L. Cook supported it. There was con­ siderable discussion among the few present. It wm strenuously objected by some that such action, taken at a meeting when only thirteen taxpayers were present, and when the people had had no notice of such contem­ plated action, would be positively wrong in fact, even though legal in form. Upon tbe point at legality there was also some question, especially from the fact that tbe notices of the annual meeting had not indicated any Intention of bringing before the meet­ ing tbe proposition to raise money for a school building—consequently the attendance wm small. Mr. Ketcham, as a member of the school board, pointed out that the passage of the motion would place the board <n a very disagreeable posi­ tion, and suggested very careful con­ sideration before voting upon so im­ portant a matter, and Mr. Bates re­ joined with the intimation that the members of the school board should stiffen up their back bone. When the vote wm finally taken, the result was seven for and six against the motion and it was de­ clared carried. And so it happen? that seven tax payers of Hastings have imposed upon an unconsulted and unsuspecting electorate the rais­ ing of 375,090 in a single levy. It most be admitted that such action under such conditions was heroic. If it results in giving this city an adequate school building, possibly it will all work out satisfactorily. But it v4ll ba n wrong way to do a right th'uig. The people should have had a chance to exercise their will in this matter. report. M. L. Cook offered the following resolution: Resolved.

The Gas Range Is A Friend To Everybody To the eoaen of the household It means Hiving • k“m(By F. O. HBRMAN.) The extension of bee culture m a means of adding to tbe income has been rapidly going on since it was desnonstrated that bees could be man­ aged without discomfort to tbs opera­ tor, and chat a profit of 54 per cent and even afore was easily procurable. Bee culture requires no outlay for land upon which to raise crops, for as yet there has been no-plant discov­ ered that pays to plant for honey alone. She takes nothing from the fertility of the soil, but gives to it one of the greatest fertlBsars known, the clovers, which would beoosne extinct if it were not for her agency in fertilising tbe bloom. No land is required except a spot on whfch to place the hives. It is easy to handle bees when you knowhow. Undoubtedly a has kaagar often goto ataag; it would bo aoalaaa to deny It and it Is scarcely oonsottag to a novtoe to tall him he win got need to being steng; but after a time a hoekeeper really does become inocu­ lated, after which, although the mo­ mentary pain may be sharp, there are no disagreeable after effects, such as swelling, etc. Tbe fear of atlnga I think prevents many from liking the work and yet. when properly protected with a bee veil and working only in the warm part of the day and never when cloudy, rainy or cold, and with the use of a good smoker, one need rarely be stung. Avoid quick motions, do Dot breaths upon them and if there are other bees flying about in search of plunder do not leave the hive open too long. In case of accidents the smoker should be used freely and it ought to be at hand for any manipulation in the apiary. It is much easier to pre­ vent the anger of bees than to stop it after it has begun. If you mismanage a colony of bees and rouse their anger it is quite likely that this disposition will remain with them for a few days. A bee away from home, or laden with honey, never volunteers an at­ tack. This is so well known and so established by apiarists that if I were not writing mainly for beginners I would not think of mentioning it. Thus, in order to render bees harm­ less it is only necessary to cause them to fill themselves with honey, and this . is done by frightening them with smoke. When smoke is driven Into a hive through tbe entrance the bees at once begin filling themselves with honey. But with them, ae with human be­ ings, It Is tbe most experienced which are slowest to take fright, so when tbe old bees are all st borne it is more difficult aad takes more time to com­ pel them all to fill themselves. For this reason it is much safer to 'handle boss during the warmest part of the day, or at a time when ths greater part of the old bees are ta the flejd. The bees Milch compose a swarm are usually filled with honey for tbe journey which they expect to taka aad they are hamleas ulese mushed ar very much irritated by tbe aa*ar of others aad the smell of the poises It is not abootatoiy noosooury to smoke the colony of bees tiD all tbe bees fin tbenmeteos with heaoy In or­ der to handle thorn safely, but R la certainly tbe safest method. An expert may open a hive without smoke and without danger and may handle the combe and return them to the hive without getting a single sting by being quiet, steady and fearism. It Is a fact that the fearless apiarist may often be entirely unharmed while others a rod away may be stung by the very bees which his manipulations anger. His quiet, determined demeanor is his safeguard, while the uninitiated strike at the angry beeo util they are stung. When you wish to open a hive of bees if you wish to be perfectly safe, arm yourself with a smoker, cover your head with a veil and step boldly to the front of the hive; send the smoke through the opening for half a minute, then stop and repeat the op­ eration after another half minute, or until they make a steady hum, which will show that they have given up the desire to fight Then open the hive, smoke gently and you may lift the combs one after1 another. Many people have kept bees but did not succeed on account of the worm moth, but worms very rarely, it ever, destroy a colony of bees in normal condition. clean, cool kitchens without back breaking labor.

Every one come and have a good time. The talk and discussion on “Where does a father's responsibility begin and end?" was very Interesting. One thought brought out was that fathers in general do not assume as much responsibility in the care and moral training of . their children as they should. The song. “What's the Matter With Father," sung by the Misses Nina Woods and Artie Fuller was en­ joyed by all. Mra. Julia Fisher in her talk on What we Owe Fathers, would have us think that we do not owe much to them, but the discussion that followed showed that the majority of those present think we owe a great deni to our fathers.

Phone 243 THIS WILL INTEREST EATERS W ICE CREAR Pfemahie PelsMfBg. With the advent of hot weather comes an enormous Increase in the consumptior of ice cream and with this consumption comes the usual re­ ported cases of ptomaine poisoning. Ice cream Is a healthful product and one of our cheapest and moat valuable foods and there is nothing dangerous In the consumption of Ice cream pro­ vided proper conditions have been maintained in its manufacture. It must always be remembered that milk la an animal product and that in hot weather decomposition will set tn In milk the same as In meat or any other animal product. In the de­ composition of any animal product ptomaines are liable to be formed and if the product is then eaten, ptomaine poisoning results which often causes death and, In any event, very aevere suffering. There are two conditions under which ptomaine poisoning is liable to result In the manufacture of ice cream -one is caused by the refreezing of cream that hss once been frozen and returned. It is quite a common thing in many rural dlstricta for ice cream to be furnished church socials with the understanding that cream not used can be returned next day. If this cream is refrozen, ptomaines are very Hable to develop. The practice should be strictly prohibited by Jaw. Dirty milk cans and dirty ice cream cans likewise, may develop pto­ maines from the decomposition of old cream left In the cans. At nearly ever}* railroad station In Michigan can be seen loe cream cans that arc being returned to the manufacturer after tbe cream has been used and, in nearly every case, the can is un­ washed, and on opening the same the fearful stench of the decomposi­ tion of animal matter reaches the senses. A can in this condition when It reaches the factory Is almost im­ possible to wash and sterilize, and if any part of this old matter is left in the seams of the can. It is liable to innoculate new cream placed therein and ptomaines may generate and cause sickness and death. Every re­ tail dealer of ice cream should thoroughly wash all empty cans be­ fore returning to the factory. Tbe last legislature passed a law providing tor a penalty of 3100 for any person who re-shlps ice cream or milk cans back to the factory without thoroughly cleansing them. Tills lau will soon take ejfect and the Dairy and Food Department proposes to vigorously enforce the same, and wherever ice cream cans are found unwashed at any elation, prosecu­ tions for the violation of this law will be Instituted.

Under this bead the Chicago Rec­ ord-Herald has tbe following: Circulars of leading bond bouses and business agencies have been call­ ing attention to tbe fact that tbe cur­ rency problem has completely over­ shadowed that of tariff revision. Not only has there been little talk about the tariff bill, but the general feeling ia that the certain changes have been ‘'discounted” and that the country is desirous of final action by the senate in order to readjust itself on a firm basin. The business outlook is bright­ ening, and there is no apprehension of slackness by reason or reduced du­ ties. On the other hand, everybody Is talking about banking and currency reform. and many are saying that for years it has been clear to men of af­ fairs that the financial Question is far mort important than that of tariff Tates. Even the severest critics of the Glass-Owen bill admit that it Is a healthy and significant sign of the times that action on tbe banking and currency question ia urged and ex­ pected everywhere.

His compensa­ tion was 530 a day and expense*. His work was to mingle with and talk to about twenty senators; and there were a half dozen others who were getting the same pay if not more. The law may not now be able to reach such men, but it should be so amended or enacted that any person attempting to bribe a legislator or official should be guilty of a high erime, punishable by banishment or prison sentence.

This was mixed with skim milk or buttermilk and fed in shallow trays. From the sixth week to maturity they received a grain ration of two pounds eracked eom and two pounds whole wheat, fed In open hoppers.

Vol. 2. No. 35. SPECIAL HEETMK Wil K CULLED ACTION OF ANNUAL SCHOOL HEFT­ ING VOTING TAX FOB NEW BUILDING STIRS COMMUNITY. Petitloa Preoroted to School Board • Akklug for Another District Meet­ ing A<iit 4th. The action ot the annual school meeting in voting by a vote of 7 to 6 to spread >75,008 on the next tax roll for a new high school building, had the effect that might have been ex­ pected. It stirred up things. For the next day or two it was the main topic of discussion. not to say "cussing," and the torrldity of some of the language used made the high tempera­ ture of the atmosphere cool in com­ parison. People who forgot all about the annual school meeting, before It took place, were reminded of it very distinctly afterwards. And we are under the impression that next year there will be more people who will remember that the atonal school meeting comes on the second Monday in July. On Friday night the school board held its monthly meeting, and some of the citlxens who were not satisfied with the situation, got up a petition, as the law provides, asking the board to call a special school meeting for the purpose of rescinding or other­ wise amending the action of the an­ nual meeting. A. N. Gilleland, pre­ sented this petition, which names August 4th as the date for such meet­ ing, and the school board will un­ doubtedly comply with the request of the petitioners. At that meeting, which will doubt­ less be better attended than the an­ nual meeting was, the school bouse question will be put before the voters of the district, practically in this form: Shall the vote to raise >75.000 for a new school bouse be so modified as to spread the payment over a term of years, by banding; or shall it be rescinded altogether, and no further action taken? The friends of Im­ mediate action will favor the former alternative, and the advocates of postponement or a do-nothing-policy will favor the latter. The question of a new school build­ ing Is certainly an important one and it is. to be sincerely hoped that the merits of the proposition will not be obscured by factional or personal feeling. Let It be calmly, judicially, fairly weighed on its merits, and in the spirit of loyalty to the best wel­ fare of the city, especially of the ris­ ing generation—the boys and girls who will soon be the citlxens of Hast­ ings. If we need a new high school building, If the present building is Inadequate, detrimental to health and Ill-adapted to the needs of a growing city, why not vote to build a new one, using the plan of distributing the burden of paying for it over such a term of years as to make it light? This whole matter should be ap­ proached by our citlxens in a spirit of broad mindedness. Let it be set­ tled on its merits and with a feeling of deep responsibility to the duty of acting wisely and well for the in­ terests of the coming generations. Better Bubloo* Contort. Secretary Schantx of the fair not only believes In live stock Improve­ ment but more than that, he also be­ lieves In the Improvement of the hu­ man species, physically, mentally and morally. There has been added to the pre­ mium list of the fair a better babies' contest along the lines suggested by the better babies* bureau of the Wo­ man's Home Companion. Babies will be judged by a standard score card and by some of the foremost physi­ cians of the county What the mother does not know and what the contest will tell her is how nearly true to the standard ot the perfectly formed child is the little one that brightens her home. Tile contest is also expected to be a revelation of helps to health­ ful exercise and ministration. Watch the papers for further announcements. Important Change of Time. As the Journal-Herald announced last week the Michigan Central has inaugurated quite an important change In Its afternoon, west bound, passenger service. These changes in­ volve two trains. No. 107. and No. 109. Train No. 107. which heretofore has been the "flyer," leaving Detroit nt 1 p. m. and reaching Hastings at 4:27. becomes a local train, running only bet.veen Jackson and Grand Rapids, and making all stops. It Is due nt this station nt 4:07. No. 109, which has always been a local train, reaching here at 9 -7 p. m.. has become the "flyer." It leaves Detroit at 5 p. m. and is due here at 8:30 p. m. HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, JULY 24,1913. Two Taxing Heads. The action of the school meeting on Monday, the 14tb, perfectly legal, was an object lesson which should be heeded by the taxpaying citlxens. The writer from the first has always con­ tended that the idea of two taxing heads for the city is one too many. The independent action ot the school board, sometimes contrary to* had ir­ respective of the city, forced by un­ seen and unavoidable conditions on the common council, creates a hard­ ship sometimes hard to overcome. In our opinion the school budget should be submitted to the council. The law provides for ample provisions for funds to be raised for school purposes so that the council cannot block, or hinder school progress. The provis­ ion for raising funds for school build­ ings should always be left to the vot­ ers. Then such a fiasco as happened this year when seven men could put a tax of >75,000 on the city without warning, could not happen. No mat­ ter what excuse may be offered for the action this time, the fact remains that the present mode of taxation is a dan­ gerous one not to the best interests of schools or citlxens. Jefferson Street Business Changes. F.'E. Jordan has disposed of the Coffee Ranch on South Jefferson street to J. W. Freeman who moved to Hast­ ings recently from Detroit. Mr. Jor­ dan Is contemplating locating in Bay City, where he will conduct a business of the sat»e nature. Hastings extends Its welcome to Mr. Freemdta and be­ speaks for him the same success and liberal patronage accorded Mr. Jor­ dan. Grant Muir baa purchased the dry goods and baxaar stock of O. A. Fuller, and will open a business establish­ ment in the building recently vacated by the Bponable meat market, 119 East State street Mr. Fuller will en­ large his grocery stock to take the place of the disposed goods. Andrews Addition to City. A small addition has been platted and added to the city In the first ward, to be known as “Andrews’ Addition." The plat Is mode by extending Blair and Colfax streets eastward to the C. K. A 8. railroad. Two new streets are laid out, running north and south. They have been named Wilson and Ferris avenues. The piece of land thus added is triangular In shape, and contains 28 lots. Augusta's Home Coming. Augusta will hold a home coming celebration on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 15 and 16. The program consists of an address, races .and a vast number of event**-. There will not be a dull minute during the time as the events will occupy practically all ot the two days and one evening. Augusta has a pretty stream and a beautiful park -in the center of the vil­ lage. Street cars run each way every hour until midnight. No charge for admission except to ball games. Two Teachers Elected. At the meeting of the board of edu­ cation Friday night, Miss L«na Brockmeler. of Grand Rapids, was elected teacher of Latin, in place of Miss Allison. Miss Brockmeler Is a graduate of Mt. Holyoke, is very highly recommended, and has had several years of successful experience. Miss Bessie Bush, of this city, was elected teacher of the kindergarten de­ partment Tnrwed in False Alarm. The fire department had scarcely reached the engine house upon their return from the Wear-U-Well fire Fri­ day night when a second alarm came In from the box located at the corner of Jefferson and State streets. The alarm proved to be a false one. and although the officers and firemen spent some time In search for the guilty parties who were seen running in the vicinity of the Michigan Cen­ tral depot, they were unable to ap­ prehend them.

Notwithstanding the fact that the weather man failed to deliver the brand of* weather ordered, substitut­ ing a rainy day for the opening of the big public sale at the Loppenthlen Department Store, the attraction was too great to allow a little ndverss weather to keep the crowds away and the regular sales force of the store, argumented by extra help In every department, were kept on'the jump from the hour the doors were opened to the public yesterday morning until they closed last evening on one of the moot successful openings ever achieved m Hastings. Few sales ever conducted in this city have been preceded by as much and as effective publicity as has the Loppenthien sale, and this fact togeth­ er with the exceptional bargains offered will without doubt result In the same large attendance throughout the next fifteen days as taxed the ca­ pacity of the large establishment on Wednesday.

The little daughter aged eleven months, of Mr. and Mrs. John Bherk, of the second ward, came to Its death in a peculiar manner, Monday night. The little one had been restless, and the parents after It went to sleep In a bed room, went up stairs and left It in tbe bed below, thinking the babe would rest better if left tn the bed by itself. In some manner the little one twisted Itself to the side of the bed and when found In the morning by the parents, was lying on Its face, wedged in between tbe frame of tho bed which had been pulled out a few Inches, and tbe wall, the rail of the Iron bedstead pressing across Its mouth and nose in such manner as to cause suffocation. Coroner Sheffield was called, but the manner of death was so apparent no inquest was held. Mach sympathy Is expressed for the sorrowing parents. The funeral was held at five o’clock yesterday afternoon. Rev. J. B. Pinck­ ard officiating. Tbe Crowds Were There. At the hour set for the opening of tbe famous Big Ben sale at the Grant H. Otis A Co.'s store last Saturday a crowd which completely blocked tbe sidewalk in frost of the store stood in waiting anxious to take advantage of tbe indocementa offered to bargain hunters by the proprietors of tbe store. As was advertised in last week's Journal-Herald tbe first ten Wreous to enter tho store were each preoontod with a silver dollar.. Two of the gentler sex to whom this dollar looked good took up their stand by the doors at exactly «:M in tbe morn­ ing and waited with anxiety until the doors were thrown open at nine o'clock. Tbe Big Ben sale is a novel and original Idea, cleverly worked out by Mr. Otis and Is proving popular with the buying public. ChUd Had Narrow Zirapa Little Anna Belle Williams, tbe two year old daughter of Mrs. Lewis Williams, 288 South Michigan avenue, had a narrow escape from death at the Michigan avenue crossing of the Mich­ igan Central railroad Monday after­ noon. The child was left In charge of some older children and while It will never be known just how tbe lit­ tle miss escaped death the flagman at this point found her lying beside the track as tbe rear end of train No. 104 pulled across the crossing. The little girl’s position was such that tbe flagman thought she bed fallen from the passing train. He ran to pick her up and found that she had escaped being ground to death by a few seconds. Nome Ball Game. One of the moot enjoyable features of the M. E. plcnie st Thornapple lake Tuesday was the ball game pulled off between the teams captained by Wm. Chase and John Ketcham. The fol­ lowing far famed ball players com­ posed tbe two teams: Chase, Capt, M. L. Cook, Rev. Pinckard, Deacon Winters. ‘‘T. Cobb" Crook, Chaw. Bacheller, Farmer Afton Smith, E. C. Russ, Fred Bump, Ketcham Caph, Bishop. Nash, Burton, F. Weeber. Clark. Smith. Ketcham, Jr., Brasee, Bell. The score keeper was taken with writers’ cramps when the tally stood 18 to 15 in favor of the Ketcham team. Get Tear Tickets Before Sunday. All who intend to buy season tickets for chautauqua should do so If pos­ sible before Sunday, as the price will go up to >2.50 the minute the program begins and will remain at that price to the ver}* end. It should also be re­ membered that the advanced sale of tickets will be of advantage to the lo­ cal association as well as to the Redpath people, as all receipts from this sale, over and above the >1500 guar­ anteed will be divided between the home association and the Redpatb Bureau.

FEB1ENCES AT FEO JIT BUB- 1NW CIVIL WAR. <1. Lee Re«4, the Vetera* Baadmaster, Talka Eatertalalacly «f tbe Early Bay*. Some month* ago the vice-presi­ dent of thi* society came to me to see if I would write a paper alving a history of the first bras* band in Hastings. I told him I could not write anythin* that would interest anyone that would be here. He came, evidently with a determination to ac­ complish his purpose. My final an­ swer was that I would try. He urged me to make it a long one, for he was sure it would be Interest­ ing; and I am perfectly sure that his first suggestion aa to the length of It will meet your unqualified approval. I came to Hastings in June, 1456. That summer was a very dry season. Sometime about September the smoke from the burning swamps begun to settle over the country, and It con­ tinued for several weeks. For a few days during the fall the smoke be­ came so dense that only the form of the buildings on the oposlte side of the street were visible. This state of things became a trifle serious. People began to fear that it might result in a general calamity, but after several weeks the smoke began to clear away and by the first of November it had all disappeared. Thousands of acre* of worthless swamp land throughout Michigan were converted into valuable land by the burning out of the swamp*. When I came here there was but one brick building in town. It was the old jail, which stood where Philo Sheldon’s brick house stand*. The next brick building that was made here 1* the block that 1* now occu­ pied by Loppenthien and Mulholland. There are more buildings now be­ tween the M. C. R- R. and the river than there were In the whole village in 1456. There was a im»ll camp of Indians in tents north of the bridge on Mich­ igan avenue, and among them were a number of boys ranging from eight to eighteen years of age. Some of these boy* were remarkably expert with th bow and arrow. In the sum­ mer time It was no uncommon thing to see a number of them with the bow and arrow shooting at pennies held by a split stick set up on the oppo­ site side of the street in front of Lewis McClelland's saloon, which stood where Mulholland’s store stand*. It was understood that if they should hit the penny it was to be their own. They used to indulge in foot rac­ ing and other athletic sport*. Their chief delight was to wrestle at ths “back hold.” At this particular hold they were hard to down. Our boys soon learned to avoid the back hold with them. The saloon mentioned was a sort of headquarter* for the Indians, and tbe proprietor could speak the Indian language just a* well a* the Indians themselves. My special object in writing this paper is to give a partial history of the first bras* band in Hastings of which I had the pleasure of being a member. The band was organised in the sum­ mer of 1867. It* members consisted of Augustus Atkins, Julius Russell, J. L. Reed. William Banta, John Dia­ mond, Wallace Brown, Wallace Bent­ ley, John W. Buckle, Philo Dunning. Daniel Striker, O. 8. Hadley, William Sartwell and Henry Wilder. Mr. Atkins was the teacher, Julius Russell leader. Mr- Atkin* was the only one who had ever played a horn before. He wrote and gave out to each member the scale for his instru­ ment, and ordered them to commence operation. A* usual, the air was lad­ en with horror for at least a month before any of the member* could run the scale, but in course of time the boys got so they could be called to­ gether for united practice. They made commendable progress and at the end of six months could play easy pieces together. About the first appearance in public. I think, was in the spring of 1858, when the band gave a concert in the Presbyterian church. The same is still occupied by that society. The band was stationed in the gallery over the entrance to the audience room. The seats were wooden benches nailed to the floor In rows one behind the other. I was placed In the front row near the banisters, overlooking the audience. In the same row was Mr. Atkins. Julius Russell and Mr. Banta. The others In the next three rows behind us; Mr. Hadley being In the upper rew back. The audience room was packed. The time had come to start the concert. Mr. Banta, who was a very tall, good looking and talented young man, arose to announce tho beginning and object of the concert, also the pleas­ ure it afforded him to see to many present at our first concert, and he hoped the band would give them a de­ lightful evening’s entertainment. He also announced the first number on the program would commence Im­ mediately. At this point the hand arose. This brought them in plain view of the audience If they had been facing the gallery, but they were seated facing the pulpit. Some one In the audience suggested that they arise to their feet and face the music. Our first number consisted of a lit­ tle quick step called •’Wilsey’s Quick Step.” It had but three short strains of sixteen measures each. There was a brief pause before the word was given to play. As we stood up we could see the vast number of upturn­ ed faces, and I suppose In that brief moment each member of the band got the same impression that I did. for it seemed to me that every mem­ ber of the audience was looking di­ rectly at me, expecting that I would fairly paralyze them with execution on the cornet. The word was final!}’ given to start playing. After proceeding about a dozen measures something went wrong in the back row. when the music came to an abrupt silence, it was discovered that Mr. Hadley, who played the big bass horn, had started on the wrong number, and it required some argument by the leader to con­ vince him that he was wrong. Mean­ while the audience had lapsed into audible snickering. The band finally made another start. The music of that particular piece ended with one-quarter note in the be- ginning ot the last measure. This || vided by the quartermaster of the Mr. Hadley overlooked, and gave a regiment, which was quartered on the full blast on the rest In the last half fair grounds and assigned to bunks of the measure all alone. This that had been prepared for us In one brought the house down with convul­ of the buildings there. sive laughter and clapping of hands. I was assigned to the band. The This little episode seemed to vaporize leader of the band was a German by the stiffness of the audience and the the name at Jacob Stieg. The band temporary embnrrassmnt of the band, consisted of twenty-one members. and the balance of the program went After a delay of several weeks we off all right and the concert was quite were finally mustered Into the U. 8. a success after all. service, and arrived in Washington As to the personal peculiarities of about the latter part of June. 1861. the members of the band I can say About the 18th of July we started for but little.

Monday, was largely responsi­ ble for tbe victory over tbe Saginaw Southern Michigan League team. Wells, a left hander, was pitted •gainst Manning, also a left hander. Both teams found tbe ball rather freely but the visitor* were unable to hit safely, or bunch their bits effect­ ively. In every innlog except tbe fifth they hit safely, Snyder hitting a homer but fell at third; he could then have easily msde home, but he did not attempt It a* there was no one out; he scored on Manning's hit to right, and out. This was the first and only scare far the visitors until the ninth, when two bingles yielded one more tally. Saginaw, managed by Ducky Holmes, were greatly surprised at the strength, both at bat and fielding ot the local team and declared the “boys" were a good bunch of fast ones. Seven men up In the first two In­ nings by the locals was ■uffleienr. Bean getting a base on balls was the only one to reach first base and It looked a little shaky for Rogers' team, but M. Eck. the first man up, got a two base hit, Maltby got a base blngle, Wells followed with another, scoring Eck. Then Rogers sent two more over the home plate by a double ro left center, Stebbins, Kynett and G. Eck going out on fly hits. Three runs for Hastings and the confidence it brought nerved the home team to greater efforts. It looked very much like a tie in the fourth when Elbel for the visitors sent a safe'one to the left for a base, stole second, went to third Hastings......... 0 0330000 •—6 10 1 Saginaw.......... 0 1000000 1—2 » 1 Struck out by Wells, 4; by Manning.

One of those in line was an underolsed, ragged fellow, past middle age. Over one eye was tightly bound a huge handkerchief of screaming red. which, when hie turn came, he re­ moved to show Skinner an optic glassy and lusterleea and consider­ able shot with blood. The East side expert, however, in view of the lowly, unmoneyed ap­ pearance of tbe patient, and the other probably better paying ones in waiting, gave the injured eye but a superficial glance and the owner a small bottle of "Doctor Skinner’s Magic Fluid"—for which he col­ lected 50 cents—and, with a su­ perior air, bowed the man to the doer. A week perhaps had elapsed when one morning the little man, more ragged than ever, again made his appearance at th* great doctor's of­ fice. complaining that the eye was no better and vociferously demand­ ing a stronger medicin* Skinner without much ado, quickly com­ pounded a perparstton. which be ex­ plained be was "sometimes forced to use in obstinate case*," and this time collecting a dollar, bowed the Importunate caller out m before. Tbe next morning cam* a violent ring at the doctor** bell. A grinning colored bay answering It admitted no other than the de­ jected-looking visitor of th* two pre­ vious occasions, but accompanied this time by an elderly, well-dressed man who quietly but firmly demanded to see Dr. Skinner at once. There wm Mnnething in the aspect of the men which boded no good for th* eye specialist. The little man** fare, or that part of it not hidden from view by th* bug* flaming handkerchief, wm a veritable study ot suppressed rage. Tbe doctor soon tallied forth from hi* inner ofltee. Noting that hie caHera wore standing, he said in bis blunt­ ly polite way: “Bit down, sit down." Thanks, well stand,** raid th* el­ derly man. Then he asked sharply: "You're Dr. Skinner, ain’t you?" "That's my name, but—" ’ "And you know this man here, don't you?" Indicating the former patient You treated him for an affection of the eye, didn’t youF* asked the Inquis­ itor. "Well, yes' I suppose I did—but, nay. who the deuce are you? I—" Drawing a card from hia pocket, he handed It to the astonished Skinner, who read th* words, “Leo Van Slike, Attorney-at-Lsw.” "I don't understand," began the doc­ tor, nervously fumbling the card. "Don’t suppose you do," replied Van Silke. "However, 1*11 tell you. My client here (thia wm said in a very lordly tone) is about to sue yon for 15,000, that’s all!" "Sue me," cried the eye specialist In surprised indignation. "Why me. pray? What are you driving nt, any- The words were no sooner out of hie mouth than tbe little man tore the handkerchief from hie head, and lift­ ing a sunken eyelid revealed beneath It a hole—a hideous cavity, half black, half red, where once an eye had been. "Burnt out! curse you!" he roared in anguished fury. "Burnt out! That's what we’re drivin* at" “A mighty serious business, I should say," commented the lawyer. "One moment," interposed the doc­ tor, excitedly. “Why shouldn't we compromise this matter without no­ toriety? Ill give 8300. I’m no mil­ lionaire, Mr. Van Silke." The lawyer eyed him keenly. "Youll have to double that," ha said. "And 111 give you just one minute to go to your desk and make out a check." His tone wm exasperatingly oooL There was nothing left for the spe­ cialist to do but obey the mandate, and within a few minutes the two un­ welcome visitor* left the place richer by WO. Bald the Mtute Van Silke: "Say, Jim, I think the next touch we make ought to be in some town where we’re not known. Then well be able to sue for twice as much. Ha, ha, ha!"

To one who has never visited the Consolidated Press & Tool Co.'s fac­ tory, it is not easy to realize what heavy machines they are sometimes called upon to make.

The company have recently taken an order from a Detroit auto­ mobile factory to build two presses that will weigh 45,000 pounds each. HU. PACT «VKT The Man who wants to accumulate money needs to work and plan. Needs to take advantage of each little help which will en­ able him to do just a little better than he has been doing. Men who have given the “check account plan” a fair and impartial trial find it a real help. A very material aid in caring for their income and in building for the future. The “small purchase temptation” makes it very hard to ac cumulate any certain sum by keeping money in your pocket or hiding it around the house -probably that has been your trouble. Don’t wait until you have a large amount. Begin now with a dollar or more, add to it regularly and you will be surprised to find how fast it increases.

Bauer with hls three bagger in the left gar­ den which he stretched Into a tally af­ ter a sensational comedy tumbling act between third and tbe plate. Wells then laid the ball against Williams’ leg bat he died on first when Plant grounded to Rogen. Maltby made hia initial appearance in a Hastings uniform and fielded his position at first in a creditable man­ ner, although he showed nothing to speak of with tbe stick. The new first sacker is ten feet tall and does not cast any shadow to speak of. G. nauers Bauer's ouuuie double m*as high «<•<> dive off third u. in tbe ninth was a screaming bit of comedy aad as tbe Portland youth crawled to the plate on his hands and knees while Wells chased vainly after tbe ball which bad just bounded oil tbe rouner’s back, the fans roared. Portland lost a chance for a nice double on the fifth when Plant took Bean’s grounder just off first and tailed to touch the sack before be threw to third to catch the runner there. Three were on and two gone when Welle came up In the third. He rolled one to L. Bauer forcing M. Eck at sec­ ond. Wells did not band out a base on balls until the sixth. G. Bek came to bat for the flrat time in the sixth. Ham got a nice hand as he came up and showed hls apprecia­ tion by placing an easy one on G. Bauer’s hands. Out Bauer to Plant It was a sad day for accidents. Mem­ bers of both teams took turns trying to convince Umpire Holt that they had been mortally wounded by pitched balls. Michael strolled nearly to first in the fourth before Holt could con­ vince him that the supposed death blow was a ball. Saturday’s Game. The Albion Invasion Saturday might have been a one sided affair with Hastings in possession ot that one side bad it not been for the fact that the visitors did not seem to admit that tbey were in for a defeat and came up inning after inning with a determina­ tion to even matters up until in the ninth tbey succeeded in climbing to witbin two runs of the locals and left the total score, 8 to 6, looking some­ what like a real ball game. For eight innings Parrott, who did the tossing for Hastings had the visitors eating from hls hand, bits off him being so few and so scattered that only two runs which came in the eighth, re­ sulted. In the ninth however, he weakened slightly and Kynett re­ lieved him. Swing, who started for Albion showed very little, and when he suc­ ceeded In placing ills heaves within walking distance of the plate the local boys hit them when they counted most Swing was pulled in the fourth when it looked os if Hastings was due to bat the balance of the afternoon and Hoyt took hls place. Hoyt re­ tired the aide and his work, while not sensational in the least, made the beet of the exhibition resemble more closely the national game. WUtmr. the vMtor, left flelder, hit the ball a mile in lhe third and bis circuit of the bases might have made considerable difference In the final pcore had it not been for Umpire Mowry’s very, very doubtful declslo.i that the runner did not touch second. Line Drives. Attendance rather small for n Sat­ urdays game. A nd! er. Hastings new pitcher, made his first appearance . playing right. Andlcr is a dainty bit of humanity, weighing about six pounds, but he connected with the bail twice like a young giant, and If he can pro­ duce In the box aa he did with the stick Saturday It looks aa if he might win a home. Rogers sprinted from first to third on Stebbins* bunt Ln the first, scoring on Kynett’s long fly to center. Albion pulled a double play in the fifth, returning Rogers' fly to center to second In time to catch Parrott. The visitors took Mowry’s decision on Wilbur’s home run without a serious kick, but their coaches proceeded to kid him considerably during the bal­ ance of the game. Things certainly looked serious in the ninth when Wilbur came up with three men on. He having already pulled off a three bagger and a home run. He was retired. Kynett to Maltby.

Vol. 2, No. 36. A WEEK RUED HILL WITH GOOD THINGS MOST MJCCRSSMJL CHAUTAUQUA ' EVER HELD IN THIS PART OF MICHIGAN. * Notwithstanding Hot Wave, Every­ body Goes asd Enjsy* The Splendid Programs. When Rev. Thomas Cornelison was in the city last Saturday he told the board of directors that this year's program for Hastings chautauqua was the very best the Redpath bureau had ever provided. This statement has been abundantly verified by even the partial program, given up to the time we go to press. We have been regaled with the wit of Adam Bede, enthused with the reformatory spirit of McNutt, delighted with the har­ mony of the Redpath Grand Opera Co., and the Florentine Trio, instruct­ ed by the lectures of Prof. Crook. Impreseed with the views of Beldel, amused by the Ben Greet Players' interpretation of the groat dramatist, uplifted by the magnificent oratory of Gunsaulus, and made thoughtful by the message of Dean Sumner. And not the least among the benefi­ cent forces which Chautauqua week is setting In motion in our community is the Boy Scout work which is being Inaugurated for the boys. And many good things are still in store for as. Today. KryI and his wonderful band will be the groat at­ traction. Tomorrow night, Missouri's groat citizen. Ex-Gov. Folk will be here and Saturday will be made de­ lightful with the music of the Barn­ ard Orchestra and the fun of Ralph Bingham. The people of Hastings and vicinity showed their enthusiastic and intelli­ gent appreciation, of what was In store for them by purchasing in ad­ vance over $2200 worth of season tickets. Saturday the demand for these tickets was so groat that all the season tickets that had been provided for Hastings were sold and It became necessary to utilise tickets that had been printed for another town in or­ der to supply the demand. It would be impossible to give in a newspaper story an adequate account of all the things said and done at this great Chautauqua. We can only briefly touch upon a few features here and there. Sunday afternoon, with the mer­ cury away above the 90-mark, the big tent in the park, with its two thou­ sand seating capacity was well filled. After preliminary announcements by the platform superintendent, Mr. O. C. Rhinefrank. and a word of con­ gratulation from J. C. Ketcham, representing the local association, the Redpath Grand Opera Co. gave a half hour, concert, made up entirely of selections of a sacred character, in keeping with the day. Then came a rare treat, given us by that able ex­ ponent of equality, who by the way, bears a striking resemblance, both in person and manner, to Gov. Ferris, George L. McNutt, the '‘Dinner Pall" man. Mr. McNutt is a clever platform ortaor, witty, versatile, and entertain­ ing, and as he is Intensely tn earnest and has a message of democracy and equality to impart, he is always worth hearing. This was especially for­ tunate, as he was called upon to HU three places on Sunday’s program. He spoke at length Sunday afternoon on "Culture and Democracy,** he gave a short talk at the opening of the evening program, and after the very fine sacred concert by the Redpath Grand Opera company, be filled the vacancy caused by the absence of Dr. E. W. Huelster, by giving his elo­ quent lecture on The Master Passion. Perhaps the most valuable because the most lasting in Its Influence, and the most closely concerned in the life of the community. Is the work of the morning session which was inaugurat­ ed Monday morning and which has at­ tracted constantly growing attention every day. This work Is carried on along two entirely distinct lines, the one for boys and girls, the other foe grown-ups who want to study the problems of practical political econo­ my. First comes the Boy Scout work, in charge of Mr. A. E. Roberts. This work, nation wide in Its scope, is working a marvelous benefit for the boys and girls of America, and it is a most gratifying thing for Hastings that the Boy Scout work is being in­ troduced at this Chautauqua. It alone is sufficient justification for the whole week’s program. Sixty or more boys have joined the class and about as many girls have joined the girls' camp, conducted by Mrs. J. C. Ketch­ am. These boys and girls are being taught many practical things that will be of life long benefit to them and to all who come within the circle of their Influence. The organization helps the HASTINGS, MICH., THURSDAY, JULY 31,1913. "The Dawning Consciousness of Wo­ man's Bex Loyalty."

Last Friday afternoon as Royal White, of Northwest Irving, was working at clearing off a piece of land, his wife and five year old daugh­ ter joined him. He was chopping t tree down and It fell in a different dl-| rectian from what he designed to have It go. The wife was standing in its direct path, and she attempted to get oat of Its way, but unfortunately failed to do so. The limbs caught her, breaking her right arm, dislo­ cating her right hip and cut a silt in her scalp, requiring several stitches to close it; her body was also bruised. Dr. A. L. Taylor was called. He re­ duced the fracture and notified the superintendents of the poor of the case, the family being in indigent cir­ cumstances. Dr. F. G. Sheffield accompanied by Dr. W. H. Snyder drove out and found the woman In' much worse condition than at flrat supposed, and no con­ veniences for her care so she was made as comfortable as possible, and on the following day was taken to the county farm where the physicians re­ stored the hip to Its natural position, i and made the patient as comfortable as possible. The husband and child are also housed at the county farm for the present. Twa Are IreMewtaHy Mort.

It is estimated that the damage will ran up to $10,000, all covered by insurance. m TIKES w IITO THEIMMUmt CAR CONTAINING FOUR WOMEN CRASHES THROUGH RAILING ON MICHIGAN AYE. BRIDGE. None of itecnpnnt* Seriously Hurt Although Machine Fell Fifteen Feet Into Water. One of the lucky accidents, if an ac­ cident can be lucky, occurred Monday afternoon about six o’clock, when an auto driven by Miss Mary Matthews took a plunge into the river, from the south end of Michigan Avenue bridge, turning turtle and also turning half around. At the time, tbe car was oc­ cupied by the mother, Mrs. B. A. Mat­ thews, Mary the driver, and Margue­ rite, daughters, and Miss Doris Mat­ thews, a niece. The car was going north toward their home. Two cars were coming south, and a horse and carriage, also one car going north, all four being on the bridge. The horse showed fright and Henry Wither, driving the car going north, slowed up. Miss Matthews seeing the car ahead of her slowing up made an ef­ fort to do the same, but failing to do so, reached for the emergency brake, and it is thought turned the wheal so that the machine shot to the right, breaking the railing and dropping Into tbe river fifteen feet below. The frightful screams of the occupants caused the witneaeee to hasten to the scene. Charlee Allen was the flrot to jump into the water and he was close­ ly followed by Fred Parker, Charlie Warner and one or two others. They found the automobile on its side, the forward end to the south, the three girts scrambling to get out and Mrs. Matthews, partly uncon­ scious, lying in the water. All were quickly rescued. No bones were broken, no serious contusions, strains or dislocations and in a few momenta they were able to proceed home. The machine was hauled oat. and its Im­ portant parts were found intact, the top fenders and lamps being about tbe only parts broken. That none were killed or seriously injured is Ilmost a miracle as there was a fall of fully twelve feet before striking the water, and with the machine was about twenty feet of iron railing, to­ gether with an iron post four feet long.

Wright, superintendent of Public Instruction: Lansing, Mich., July 14. To School Officers: •For your information I am sending to you a copy of the textbook law that was enacted at the last session of the legislature. I desire to call your attention particularly to the fol­ lowing sections: "Section 6. It shall be unlawful for any retail dealer In textbooks to sell any books listed with tbe state su­ perintendent of public instruction as hereinbefore provided at a price not to exceed fifteen per cent advance on the net wholesale price as so listed. “Section 7. School districts are hereby authorised to purchase text­ books from the publishers at the prices listed with the state superin­ tendent of public instruction as here­ inbefore provided and to sell said books to the pupils at said listed price or at such price* as will include the cost of transportation and the coat of handling. “Section 8. School districts are hereby authorised to purchase text­ books from the publishers at the price* listed with the state superin­ tendent of public instruction as here­ inbefore provided and to designate a retail dealer or dealer* to act as the agent of the district In selling text­ book* to pupils. Baid dealer or deal­ er* shall at stated time* make settle­ ment with the district ter such bookas have been sold up to tbe stated time. Baid dealer or dealer* shall not sell text-books at a price which •hall exceed a ten per cent advance on the net wholesale price a* listed . with the state superintendent of pub­ lic instruction. "flection 19. When a family re­ moves from one school district to an­ other within the state, the treasurer of the district shall purchase, out of the contingent fund, the textbooks in actual use by the children of the fam­ ily at a fair price, based on the con­ dition of the books; the said books to be re-sold, when necessary, to other pupils moving into the said district'* You will note that the books may be handled in any one of three ways. Under section 6, retail dealer* may purchase books direct from the pub­ lishing houses, using their own money therefor, and sell these books at fif­ teen per cent advance on the net wholesale price. Under section 7, school districts may purchase books from the pub­ lishers at the prices listed with the state superintendent of public instruc- lion, using the district money there­ for, and the board Itself, through tbe secretary «* some other person, may •ell the booh* to the pupils at actual co*t. Under Medon 8, school districts may purchase books direct from the publisher* at the wholesale prices, using the district money therefor, and turn them ever to a retail dealer or dealers who win act a* the agent of the district This dealer does not put any of his own money into the busi­ ness, tout he may get ten per cent ad­ vance on the wholesale price of the books as his commission. Transpor­ tation and handDng charge* may either be paid from the general- fund of the district or may be deducted from the agent's commission. Under section 10, school boards ar•required to buy textbooks from fami­ lies moving out of the school district to another district In the state. These books may be turned over to the agent or may be sold by the board to other pupils moving into tbe district. Under this law there I* no need for you to change the textbooks that are now in use. Any board may select any textbook for use in its schojl that It desires. You are required. It you have not already done so, to adopt a list of textbooks to be used in thft district Having once been adopted these must not be changed for five years. I advise you to consult with your county commissioner of schools in re­ gard to the working out of this law. HulLFntwkeberger. On Thursday, July 24, at high noon Mr. Fay Hull and Miss Susan Frankeberger, of this city, were united in marriage at tbe United Brethren par­ sonage by their pastor, Rev. C. W. Ballou. It had been rumored for some time that these young people were soon to be married, but when the eventful mo­ ment came they slipped quietly away to tbe parsonage and the only per­ sons beside tbe pastor and family to witness the solemn and binding ceremony were tbe friends of the bride and groom. Mr. Hart Stamm and Miss Ruth McPherson, who acted as best man and maid. The groom who is a machinist by trade I* the son of Daniel Hull, a prosperous farmer who resides south­ west of Hastings, and the bride Is the daughter of Charles Frankeberger. who resides on South Hanover street. Both are well known in Hastings and have a large circle of friends and acquaintances who will wish them a most happy and prosperous sojourn through life. After a short visit with relatives of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Hull will return to Hastings where they will be at borne to their many friends and expect to make their future abode. A happy coincidence connected with Mr. Hull's wedding was the celebra­ tion of his twenty-first birthday. It is to be hoped that this was the hap­ piest birthday he ever has had thus far In hi* life.

Mr. Trumper has served a* church trustee and class leader of tbe church for two year* or more, while his faithful wife baa served a* superin­ tendent of the Cradle Roll and as class steward for a similar period of time. In view of the faithful service and devotion rendered to the church and it* work the member* of the class planned and successfully car­ ried out the happy occasion of Wed­ nesday evening.

Trumper the chair in behalf of their classmate* and many friends who had shared in its pur­ chase. , He paid a fitting tribute to their faithfulness and fidelity to the ehnreb and the high esteem in which they were held by those who knew them After expressing hi* thanks for the tribute of love and confidence Mr. Trumper moved with deep emotion said he sincerely hoped they might ever be worthy of the confidence and love which had been bestowed upon COURT HOUSE NEWS Licensed 1* Wed.

The Assyria Farmers' Club was very pleasantly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Stumpf Saturday, July 26. About one hundred were present to enjoy the noon hour and most sumptuous dinner. The after­ noon session whs opened with a song by the club, "Our Flag." Rev. Ira Cargo offered prayer. Mrs. Will Jones was named as new member of the pro­ gram committee. Present committee stands Harry Mayo, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Jones. Program opened with an instru­ mental solo by Miss Marianna Stine. She gave a second number. Rev. and Mrs. Cargo sang "We Are Growing Old Together" and also gave a second number. Mrs. Ada Fruln gave a reading con­ cerning the farm boys. The boys of about twelve years of age ore so much better off than boys of that age In town. They have such a roving, ex­ ploring disposition that the country Is so much more suitable. Duet by Margaret and Louise Mulvnny was heartily enjoyed. Olive Puff, Ernest Farley, Mildred Mulvany and Miss Robinson gave rec­ itations. Mlse Alma Louise Brown, who spent five months In Florida recently, gave a little history of that state. One dis­ agreeable part of Florida life is that no one really controls his farm. All stock Is allowed to run at large with no laws to compel stock owners to care for it. But the law will permit one to fence in his land to keep stock out; otherwise stock is a ’free com­ moner. When it comes time to kill hogs for meat supply the owners shut them up for a few days to keep them from running and give them a chance to pick up and then as a test, to find if they are ready to kill, they are held up by their ears and if their tails drop straight they are in good condi­ tion.

Next you place at the bottom of the hole a piece of cast iron or a block of marble. From this you run a ladder to the surface of the ground. Any ordinary ladder will answer the purpose, only you should break a round from the ladder near the top or center. The rest is very simple. The angleworms start down the ladder and owing to the fact that the light I* poor underground they do not notice the missing round and falling through the opening left by the same they stun themselves on the Iron or marble below.

Fowls should have empty crops In tbe morning and tbe crops should never be, quite full until Lt Is time to go to roost at night. For tbe first feed, grain scattered in the litter early In the morning 1* preferred, tbe sooner the better after the birds leave the roosts. This induces them to exercise, which is especially Important on cold winter mornings. In the middle ot tbe day a warm, moistened mash should be given, about what they will eat within IS to 20 minutes, and at night, about an hour before they go to roost, a liberal feed of grain.should be scat­ tered In tbe litter. Hen* Need Cxerole*. It is very necessary that the ben* are given an opportunity to exercise. If they haven’t a good place to scratch they can be forced to exercise by banging sunflowers, heads of grate, etc., just high enough so they will have to jump to reach the food. Marketable Eggs.

The Wesleyan Methodist camp­ ground, formerly known as "Pen­ nock's Grove," is being put Ln trim for the annual gathering held on the ground*. The buildings are being renovated, the grounds cleaned and the new buildings rushed to comple­ tion. A force of people will continue on the grounds until all Is in readi­ ness. Already the white city of tents Is being erected, and the prospect Is good for a larger attendance than usual. The annua) conference will open Tuesday evening, Aug. 12, and con­ tinue until Aug! 16. The campmeet­ ing will open immediately afterward* and continue until Bunday. Aug. 24. There Is a cordial invitation for all to attend each service held. The following program has been ar­ ranged for the campmeeting services: Daily Program. Sunrise prayer meeting in the au­ ditorium. Bible Study, 8:30, in charge of Rev. H. A. Day, of Grand Rapids; Preach­ ing 10:00. Bible Study, 1:30, In charge of Rev. S. A. Manwell, of Battle Creek, presi­ dent of the conference; Preaching, 2:30. Children's meeting. 4:00.

Ethel Ovenshlre, returned mis­ sionary from Africa, will also be pres­ ent and address the meeting under the auspices of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. Young People's Services. The large number of young people who attend this camp-meeting every year lend Inspiration to the entire camp. A committee is appointed which has the responsibility of mak­ ing all arrangements for the young people’s meetings and appointing competent leaders for them. The young people have been greatly bleseed aud well equipped for Christ­ ian service and many who were un­ saved have been led to Christ. It is hoped that each pastor will persuade an Increased number to attend the meeting this year. Rev. J. A Mc­ Pherson will be the superintendent of these services. Children's Meetings. Our camp-ground is a safe place for children. A shallow creek runs through the grounds, which, with beautiful shade, swinging hammocks and pleasant walks, makes it an Ideal place for recreation. The spiritual atmosphere of the camp makes It a desirable place for children to re­ ceive religious Instruction. An hour each day is devoted to a special ser­ vice for them. Competent leaders are selected and many of the children have been won to the Saviour. Mrs. Alice Badder will superintend these meetings. The young Missionary Workers Band hold their annua) meeting on Monday of the camp-meet­ ing week, when reports for the year are given. This will prove especially helpful to the children. Music. Good music Is essentia) to a camp­ meeting. Mr. Clarence L. Cosand., assisted by a chorus choir, will lead the singing, and Mrs. Busan McCarty will preside at the organ. All who have heard Mr. Cosand and know of • his leadership will belled of this an­ nouncement. “Great Revival Hymns” will be the book this year. FvUn wm fW*rt Wm» After Srrt.

REGARDING THE JOUNTY FAIR REOPENED TO TRAVELING PUBLIC Landlord Parker Has Renovated and Refurnished The Parker Hosse. After several years’ management by other parties, the well known hos­ telry known n» the Hastings, or the Parker House, bus again come into the control of Fred C. Parker. Be­ fore opening the hotel to the traveling public, Mr. Parker, assisted by his experienced wife, has been very busy, renovating the house from top to bot­ tom, and putting everything in first class shape. New velvet carpets in all the rooms, new chairs, new cur­ tains, new paper and paint, new linen, new silver ware and new dishes are among the important improvements that have been made. Nearly 32,000 to being expended in this way, in or­ der that the patrons of the house may receive the high class service whkn' Mr. Parker purposes to give them. With the many yearn of experience which he and Mrs. Parker have had, not only In Hastings, but In other places during the past few years, It to safe to predict that the new Parker House will receive its full measure of patronage. The first meal was served by the new landlord and landlady last Sat­ urday. The house was opened very quietly and informally. Not only will the new management cater to the gen­ eral traveling public, but they will especially welcome the patronage of Hastings people for whose comfort and convenience they will take much pains. It should be added that Mr. Parker ha* secured the service* of a first class chef, thereby assuring a satis­ factory table ervlce. The Journal-Herald hopes to see the new managers succeed in their laudable undertaking of giving Hast­ ing* a hotel to be proud of.

F*lk st Misraari, Big Attractto* FrMay, and Bingham, Fea Maker, Closed Big Week. We closed our report tost week with Wednesday’* program. The remaind­ er of Chautauqua week was not less brilliant and successful than the fore part had been. In fact the climax of merit and enjoyment may be said to have been reached In Thursday's pro­ gram, and this notwithstanding a heavy shower that came in the after­ noon, keeping some people at home, and enterfering for a few minutes with the music. But the rain was sorely needed and accomplished so much good that everybody was glad to have It come. On Thursday morning Prof. Crook discussed “Transportation Prob­ lems,” before a large and deeply in­ terested audience. Bohumlr Kryl and bis band were the sole attraction for both afternoon and evening programs. And this splendid organisation was fully equal to the occasion. Buch perfect harmony, such fine precision of movement, such sympathetic re­ sponsiveness to every movement of the director’s baton, such delicate in­ terpretation of the composer's mean­ ing, as the odd-looking little con­ ductor drew from hto trained band of musicians, would satisfy and de­ light the most exacting of critics. The program was varied enough to include such masterful productions as Ltost's Second Hungarian Rhap­ sody and “Preludes," and Von Weber's “Jubilee" overture, such delightful things as Offenbach's Barcarolle from “Tales of Hoffman,” and such popu­ lar production aa Bucalosal's “Hunt­ er’s Dream," Michaelis* "Village Blacksmith” and other descriptive production*. Bohumlr Kryl, himself, in addition to being a great band master, to a great cornettot, and favored bls au­ dience with cornet solos, both after­ noon and evening. He also showed great good nature by responding very graciously to the enthusiastic encores which followed every selection. Kryl and hto band will not only be welcome another year, but there-will be great disappointment if they are not on the program. As a matter of fact Mr. Harrison has promised to send them here, and the Ben Greet Players as well. Friday was another great day. The rain of Thursday had made the weath­ er much pleasanter and the people turned out in large numbers at every session. In the morning Prof. Crook, in his talk on “Immigration” gave an Interesting account of hto own life, showing what a Canadian boy, with very limited opportunities could do in the United States, rising from h humble farmer boy in northern Mich­ igan, until he holds today the im­ portant chair of political economy in Amherst college. The Mozart Concert Co. opened the afternoon session with a delightful musical half-hour, after which ex­ Gov. Jos. W. Folk, of Missouri, gave his great lecture, “The Fight for a State." The great democratic re­ form governor of Missouri, was here at our first chautauqua two yean ago when he addressed an audience of about 200 people. Friday he had 1600 people before him when he gave hto strong plea for purity and honesty in public lite. That he made a deep impression on hto audience was evi­ denced by the many people who crowded up to the platform when he had finished, to shake hand* with him and to commend hto sentiments. Friday evening was “Children'* Night," and after a pleasing concert by the Mosart company, the signlficance of the name was soon ap­ parent. For Laurant, the magician, held the stage and for an hour and a half he amused, not only the children, but the old folks also, with his clever tricks in legerdemain. On Saturday morning Mr. Roberto’ Boy Scout work was brought to a close with a short program given by the boys, showing some of the useful thing* they had learned during the week. The good work done by Mr. Roberts with the boy*, will probably bear permanent fruit, as a movement was inaugurated Friday night to form a local organisation. The girls' branch of this new form of training will alsq be organized and it to likely that much good will follow. Prof. Crook closed hto admirable serie* of talks on economic problems, holding the close attention of hto audience to the very last If Prof. Crook returns to Hastings next year he will be warmly welcomed. The music for Saturday was fur­ nished by the Barnard Orchestra, a well balanced and talented company of Instrumentalists who rendered two excellent concerts. In the afternoon, Rev. Allen A Tanner, of Denver, gave hto admira­ ble lecture on "The Man in Overalls,” and In the evening Ralph Bingham, went through hto double stunt of ex­ tracting laughter from his audience and harmony from hto violin in a manner both skillful and happy. Some Incidents of The Week. .. On Thursday night, between the two parts of the concert, J. C. Ketch­ am took the platform, and in less than twenty minutes secured pledge* for season tickets for next year to the number of 811. This was considera­ bly better than last year and shows that the Chautauqua spirit has token a fine hold on Barry county people. During Thursday night's concert, Mr*. E. L. Bentz was taken alarm­ ingly ill with heart trouble. Several physicians who were in the audience went to her assistance, and as soon as possible, she was taken from the tent to her home. The attack was but temporary and she has regained her usual health. Harry P. Harrison, manager of the Chautauqua system, spent Friday la the city. In the forenoon he met the local board of director* and conferred with them relative to next year's course. It was voted by the board to make another contract with Mr. Har­ rison, on the same general terms as this year. Financially, the Chautauqua this year has been very successful. The advanced sale of season tickets amounted to $2260, of which $380 represented the profits of the local association. Added to this, the pro­ ceeds from the sale of Ice cream, lemonade, etc., and a portion of th* reserved seat revenue, the associa­ tion will reduce its indebtedness to nearly the vanishing point 1$ to very probable that the Chautauqua of 1914 will result in a surplus. If It does, the board of directors has voted to apply such surplus towards improv­ ing the park, if the council approve, as no doubt It wUL At th* close of the program Friday afternoon there was a general rush for the fair ground*, where Hastings and Grand Haven ball teams were about to cross bat*. Gov. Folk ws* an Interested spectator of the game. Near him,, in a bunch- of local fan*, sat several very enthusiastic visitor*. George C. Rhelnfrank, platform man­ ager of the chsutouqua, accompanied by Mr*. Rhelnfrank, was one of Hast­ ing*' most loyal (not to say’noisy) rooters; Prof. Crook sitting near him, was another; while Harry P. Harri­ son, owner of the whole Chautauqua system, was so carried away with the game that be voluntarily missed the train that he was to take in order to see the game finished, afterward* hir­ ing an automobile to take him to Charlotte. A party of a dozen boy scouts and a dozen camp fire girls held an in­ formal reception for Scout Master Roberts at the home of Mrs. A. E. Renkes Saturday afternoon. The girls’ camp fire was organised Wednesday, about fifty girls taking part. Mrs. J. C. Ketcham was elected guardton and she chose a* her help­ ers. Mrs. I. Patrick, Mr*. W. W. Pot­ ter and Miss Leona McLravy. Prof. Crook was greatly pleased with his treatment in Hastings, in­ forming the Journal-Herald that the interest in hto subject and the Intelli­ gent attention given to his lectures here surpassed any town be had lectured in this season. The change of location of the Chau­ tauqua from the fair grounds to the park has given excellent satisfaction, and it is quite likely that the part will be used every year hereafter.

Oar Htatcmrnts Csrborated. Col. William D. Mann while on a visit to Detroit last week, being In­ terviewed relative to his visit to the Gettysburg reunion gave a partial his­ tory of his part In the great cavalry contest which turned the day at Gettysburg. We give below a part of the interview to show that what the writer had published In recent issues was not "taken from Imagination," as some critics have asserted: “It was pathetic, the most pathetic sight I ever witnessed," said Col. Mann In his deep, resonant voice. "Of all the officers that participated in that famous battle, but four, a southern officer, two northern gentle­ men and myself, were alive to gath­ er at the reunion. I am the only colonel alive that fought in the bat­ tle, and I am senior colonel of the 300 or more now In the service. "But the point that was most for­ cibly brought to my mind was that history does a great injustice to the Michigan men. If It handn't been for the charge of Custer's brigade, which consisted of tour Michigan regiments of cavalry, on the afternoon of the first day, the crucial hour of the battle, I haven’t the slightest doubt but that the forces the brigade drove back would have created a panic by getting in behind the Union line*. Now history says that It waa Gregg's fight. True, that able officer joined in the battle during the last momenta, but Gen. Custer, Co). Town, in charge of the First Michigan Cavalry, and I were in command of the men that swung the pendulum in the favor of the north. The charge was made en­ tirely on the Initiative of Gen. Coster, who had received no orders from his superior, Gregg. At that time, Custer was blit two days a general, having been promoted just before the battle. Official record will bear out my state­ ments about Gen. Custer. His brigade lost 257 men, killed and wounded, while Gen. Gregg's whole division lost but 32 mon, killed and wounded. That shows who was in the thick of the fight.” Col. Mann says he feels that he Is the father of three of the Michigan cavalry regiments, having been a cap­ tain In the First, and having organ­ ized the Fifth and Seventh. He was In command of the latter during the battle of Gettysburg. • Col. Mann lived in Detroit at the opening of the civil war and follow­ ing Its close he removed to the south, later »;oing to New York. That city is at present his home. He has fin­ ancial interest here and Is in Detroit on business. Col. Mann is an author and publish­ er and a man of wealth. He furnish­ ed the "Custer Boys" the flowing red neckties worn at the unveiling of the Custer monument at Monroe. He was a true soldier and a brave com­ mander. . ; These Hot Days I Every housewife wants to get away from a hot stove.

PACE 8EVE1T The Man who wants to accumulate money needs to work and plan. Needs to take advantage of each little help which will en­ able him to do just a little better than he has been doing. Men who have given the “check account plan” a fair and impartial trial find it a real help. A very material aid in caring for their income and in building for the future. The “small purchase temptation” makes it very hard to ac­ cumulate any certain sum by keeping money in your pocket or hiding it around the house-probably that has been your trouble. Don’t wait until you have a large amount. Begin now with a dollar or more, add to it regularly and you will be surprised to find how fast it increases.

The men from the eaat shore ot tbe big lake could not solve Bell’s delivery Friday. Hale the veteran ex­ leaguer of the visitors who was on the mound assured his team mates, the boy bad nothing in the way of puzzlers; he. Bell, was dead easy. The first time up Hale struck out on the “dead easy" ones, and his team mates got but six bits. Hale himself the great pitcher relied upon by the sand dune aggregation, to make the local team look like thirty cents, struck out three times in four times at bat. The Grand Havenltes suc­ ceeded In getting one man across the plate In the second, another In the fourth and another in the eighth. Thia was the extent of run getting, owing to the faultless pitching of Bell and the perfect support back ot him. For the local team, Rogers hit the first delivery of Hale, for a two bagger, stole second, went to third on M. Eek’s reaching first on error, and came home on Bell's fly to right. Kynett going out nt first and M. Eck being caught at second. No more nuts for Hastings until the 6th when I bls swift work cutting off several at with two men out Bean started the i first.

Layden broke his bat on a long foul fly to right. The second club was a hoodoo and he fanned. T Rogers made a great atop of Woldrlng’s sharp grounder to second In the sixth. His throw caught the run­ ner at first by a hair. Hale gave his first transportation in the fifth to Rogers. The Hastings captain went to second when the big pitcher threw past first trying to hold him on. “If they can hit what I’ve got today they ought to be In the big leagues" said Hale after his workout before the game. The final score shows wher-j the boys belong according to Mr. Hale. Hastings tans had their first oppor­ tunity to see Bell work and his show­ ing was by no means a disappoint­ ment. He pitched a winning game and well deserved the air-tight sup­ port given him by his new teammates. "Lefty" Layden and Jimmie Hines, the Grand Haven first and third sack­ ers, were former Hastings players, Layden being here at the beginning of this season. Neither of the boys showed much at bat and each had er­ rors to their credit In the field. Two sensational catches marked tbe eighth. Michael going clear back for McNutt's deep fly to center and getting it on the run, and Kynett traveling a mile for Layden's long fly to right. It was support like this that made Bell's work count. With two down In the eighth Shaw walked and Woldring sent a sharp grounder through short. Martin drove one past third and Bean's throw to the plate to head off Shaw was taken by Bell who ran across the diamond and caught Martin between first and sec­ ond. Capt. Rogers did the feature work of the game. He sent a two bagger to left field the first time up, hit a bounder over the box for a single in the third, walked In the fifth, ground­ ed to third and waa safe on an over­ throw in the sixth and bunted safely In the eighth. Not a bad afternoon’s record. A distinguished party composed of Hon. Joe. W. Folk, of Missouri, Prof. James W. Crook, of Amherst college and H. P. Harrison, owner of the Redpath Chautauqua, were In the grand stand. Mr. Harrison refused to leave the game to catch a train and made the trip to Charlotte later in the even­ ing by auto. The new suits did not prove a hoodoo. The handsome white rai­ ments show off the personal at­ tractiveness of the boys, and Larry Bean's bewitching beauty as he pranced the lot arrayed In white was too much for the fair sex and he was kept busy most ot the afternoon with notes from young ladles in the grand stand who persisted in making a matinee Idol out ot the popular son of Ireland. The locals got anxious and pulled their big stuff in the sixth instead of waiting for the famous lucky seventh. After Bell had grounded out to sec­ ond and Big Ham struck out, Bean sent a fly to left for one base, Foster grounded to second for a nice single, Larry going to third. Michael's short fly to right was just out of reach of the visiting fielder and Bean and Fos­ ter came home while Michael went to second. Maltby walked and Rogers sent a grounder to the third sacker who threw to the fence, scoring Michael and leaving Maltby on third and Rogers on second. Max Eck grounded through third, bringing Maltby in and a foul fly by Kynett ended the doings. Colored Troops Fswgfat Nobly. Leland Giants, the Chicago bail team of colored people made Hastings Its second visit Tuesday and again walloped the Hastings team. Their first four men up, failed to get any rone, and but one hit; in the next time up there were three files, and all bogged; In the third first man up hit one to third and was out, the next up was hit and sent to base, a single, and an out at first scored a run; the next tipped a foul to catcher. In the fourth four hits and an error gave the visitors four runs; they got two more in the seventh in two hits and one error, making their entire tallies seven. For Hastings, Rogers getting to first on error of short stop, M. Eck out at first, Kynett out ou fly to left, Bell hit for two bases, G. Eck got a nice single scoring Rogers and Bel!. Bean out from short to first. In the second two strike outs and a fly to short for Hastings; three outs and a base on balls was all that the home team could get; the same tor the In­ ning except a clean hit by Foster; fifth was also a blank. In the sixth the home team had the black leviathan on his nerves and be got so bad he hit two men. forcing In a run, on two hits and the two acci­ dents; a change of pitchers stopped run getting although the bases were full, and one man out. In the eighth we gathered two more and one in the ninth, brought the home team to six. Bell got three hits, in five times up. Max Eck featured at short.

Eck relieved him at the beginning of the fifth, -Ham’s" peculiar deliven’ nnd his slow ball were hard for the smokes to get wise to and when they didn't swing walstful they raised easy ones for Eek’s support. Bell continues to show up well. He accepted several chances in left and tucked them all away. He con­ nected with the ball In some manner every time up. Bell opened the sixth with a lovely single to right and G. Eck followed with n single over second. Bean got a nasty bump from a pitched ball, filling the bases. Davis then hit Foster forcing in Bell. About this thne Mr. Davie went In the air and was sent to center field and Johnson went in the box; Maltby raised a fly to center and Eck was caught at home. Michael ended It with a strike out Michael sent a red hot foul to tbe press stand in the sixth and there came near being no more “Line Drives,” we forgave him, however, the next time up when he drove a three bagger to center. Ham stole third in the eighth and M. Eck, )ust to show that good ball playing ran in the family, proceeded to annex second. While Max was pulling off his stunt, Ham came home. M. Eck opened the ninth with a nice single to center, Kynett struck out and Bell came across with a single to right, advancing Max to third. G. Eck sacrificed his brother in but Bean blasted all hopes. A foul tick from Strother’s bat took Foster in the neck In the fourth and sent him to his knees. In the sixth a pitched ball gave him bis base and in the eighth a speedy one took him beolde the head, laying him out A hot foul against the chest also caused him to wobble in this inning.

The Hastings ball team had sweet revenge on the Allegan ball team, the only team so far that has got the best of It this season. In three games previous to yesterday Allegan has won by close scores the first one by 4 to 3, next 6-3 and 3-2. There were no runs* until the sev­ enth, when G. Eck hit a single, Beaa doing tbe same, then Foster got a good connection with the sphere, scoring Eck, Maltby was due for a hit .and got it. scoring Bean, and win­ ning the game. Ball fans say there never was played a prettier game. Charlotte Wants Gaare. Representatives from the Charlotte team were in Hastings last week and later got the local management by long distance, making an insistent ef­ fort to arrange a game between the two teams. They even condescended to come to Hastings for their railroad fare alone in order to secure a con­ test. While a game between these two teams would undoubtedly be a big drawing card, yet Hastings manage­ ment, players and tans, cannot over­ look the fact that Charlotte still Is Indebted to Hastings to the tune of sixty odd dollars and there is small chance of the two teams coming to­ gether until a satisfactory settlement is made. Boosters’ Day. Plans are well under way for Host­ ings’ big Booster> day which occurs Friday, August 15. Allegan Is tbe teanrehosen to meet the locals on this occasion. All the business places and factories will dose for tbe afternoon and tt li expected that the band will be in attendance to help make the event the largest ever held in the city. Wm a IM* Uara -Babe Woldring, who was in the box for Grand Haven Saturday when the Hastings boys took the second victory from the visitors, won the title of “the 11200 lemon” two seasons ago when Dickinson of the Michigan state league disposed of him to the Chicago White Sox for the above sum. The Box management was so little Im­ pressed with bls showing in the work­ out tliat he was released without even an opportunity to break Into a game. It ia claimed that Woldring's personal habits do much toward holding him out of the leagues. . Presbyterian Chareh. The pastor will preach next Sunday as usual.

The people of this city seem to have formed the habit of late of voting down every proposition that Involves the expenditure of money. Bonding for a municipal lighting plant was lost, bonding for a new school boose was lost, and now the bonding for street Improvements has gone the way of the rest. Monday’s proposition was to raise ten thousand dollars by bonds, pay­ able In annual Installments of 12,000, the money thus raised to be expended in improving the streets In a perma­ nent fashion. The common council were very deslrous of seeing this proposition win, as they claim that the work they plan­ ned to carry out with this money la urgently needed. But the voters couldn't see It in that light. The major­ ity of them didn’t take enough interest to go to the polls at all, and the ma­ jority of those who did go voted no. The total number of votes cast was 318. Two-third of this number would have been necessary to carry the proposition, or 312. The total number of affirmative votes was 142. Hence it was lost by 70 votes. The vote by wards was as follows: Yes No First ward.................................... 34 44* Second ward................................ 25 44 Third ward..................................... 30 24 Fourth ward................................. 53 64 Total ................................ 142 176 Vacancies at AnMpeMs Naval SehoeL Boys in this congressional district ambitious to serve Uncle Sam as of­ ficers in the U. 8. navy will be Inter­ ested in knowing that there are five vacancies now open to them, including those now existing and those which will be caused by graduation of the class of 1914, for which nominations may be made by senators and repres­ entatives between June 1, 1913. and March 4,1914. Senator Townsend has one, Senator Smith has one, Congress­ man Kelley has two at large, and Con­ gressman Hamilton has one. They Are Gsed Advertisers. Ten automobiles currying fort^ people, including the Lake Odessa band, were in the city Tuesday after­ noon, advertising the harvest festival and recreation day, to be held at Lake Odessa next Tuesday, Aug. 19. The band played and the crowd of boost­ ers scattered advertising and visited business places. Their itinerary in­ cluded Hastings, Nashville, Vermont­ ville, Clarksville, Sunfield, Woodland, Saranac, Ionia and Lowell. One of the big features of the day will be a fast ball team between the Freeport and Lake Odessa teams. Everything will be free. • Our enterprising neighbor on the north will be a royal entertainer next Tuesday, if we can judge by the big bunch of boosters that were here Tuesday. Cost •< Paving Greea sad Jefftrsaa Streets. Charles H. Marden, resident engi­ neer, made a final report to the coun­ cil at the last regular meeting, show­ ing' the cost of paving Green and Jef­ ferson streets. The total cost of pav­ ing with concrete 7,730 square yards on Jefferson street and 10,6784 yards on Green street, was $17403.80. On Jefferson street there was laid 4,648 linear feet of combined curb and gutter, and on Green street 11,5684 linear feet. At 35 cents a foot this amounted to 34,048.97. Added to these two principal items were 23 sewer inlets, costing $920 ; 9 old castnigs for sewer Inlets. $279; 1700 yards of excavation over haul, costing $85; 22 yards of extra gtaivel for filling; and 18.408.3 yards for ex­ pansion Joints and filling, costing $920.41. This makes a grand total of $23,­ 576.98. Defeated Caledsniaas. The "Cubs" journeyed to Caledonia ■on Sunday and defeated that fast team with Baldwin.

E. dining hall and dinner was served to 108 members of the family, direct descendants of Benjamin Covert, who settled In Keene township, Ionia county, in 1845.

Five of them are still living, as fol­ lows: Benjamin, of Ionia; William, of Belding; Mrs. Melissa Sparks, of Grand Rapids; Mrs. Drusilla Beattie, of Keene township, and Airs.

Carrothers. secretary of the Hastings Baseball Association, receiv­ ed a long distance call from Charlotte last Tuesday requesting him to come to that city for an interview regarding the baseball situation existing be­ tween the two cities and he visited our Eaton county neighbors on the same evening In order to straighten out matters If possible. Secretary DeFoe of the Charlotte Association admitted to Mr. Carrother» that they were Indebted to Hast­ ings to the amount of $70 and also that the residents of his city were more than anxious that the sum be paid and the baseball relations be­ tween the two places be resumed. Mr. Carrothera informed Mr. DeFoe that Hastings stood ready to enter In­ to a series with Charlotte as soon as the financial matters were straighten­ ed out but refused to consider the proposition to play a series of twelve games, six in Hasting* and six in Char­ lotte, with Charlotte taking fifty per cent of the gate receipts here and Hastings receiving sixty per cent in that city until such time as the extra ten per cent should amount to seventy Violating Law. dollars.

Bessie from Cressey Loserome, Out in Cressey lives a maid of no few summers and an equal number of winters who no longer can bear the lonely existence of a widow, and in a last daring effort to induce Dan Cupid to aim in her direction she re­ cently penned the following touching missive to an aged resident of White­ hall, Mich.: Cressey, Mich., Aug. 3, 1913. ’’Dear Mr. Bogardus: I am a widow, very fair to the eye, in both form and feature, have a snug sum of cash and was born away back in th-i forties just when, never mind, my first love was a soldier, who went to the cruel war and when be returned we were married, be passed away some yean ago and our family are all gone, too, and I am so lonesome 1 just can't stand It no longer and want a mate, a* in the words of the poet, ‘I have no one to love me, none to care**,’ and I know you are in the same boat" "I bare a strong partiality for a G.

The county of Barry was in immi­ nent danger of tipping up last Thurs­ day owing to the concentration of all the heavy weights and big gun* of the county at Turner’s resort, Gull lake. It was the day of the super­ visors and ex-supervisors’ annual pic­ nic and of course they all had to go. They couldn’t afford to miss that luscious chicken dinner, which Roy Thorpe had ordered of mine host Turner. Ninety-two people, includ­ ing the supervisors, former super­ visors, and their ladies, and * fair sprinkling of county officials, par­ took of the dinner. When we stop to consider the capacity of these gentle­ men, we can well believe that a semlfamlne will necessarily prevail in th* vicinity of Gull lake for some time to come.

Hastings came to town Wednesday with a real, live ball team, and with Bell pitching grand ball, trimmed Al* legan 2 to 0. It was their first chance to crow over us in four games played. Hastings won on their merits and de­ served the victory. Allegan's work with the stick can be told In few words. Beck and Capl. Chaffee were the only ones to con­ nect safely and but one other ball was driven to the outfield. In the second and fifth frames Allegan got men on third, but Bell yielded not, and nary a score for us. Southpaw Duffy did the flinging for Allegan and was likewise invincible until the seventh, having allowed but two hit* up to then. In this fatal round G. Eck got on with a fluky drive through Nolan and Bean ad­ vanced him with a single to left; Maltby hit a lucky drive to right, scor­ ing Eck; Foster grounded to Nolan, who fumbled, Bean scoring. Jud Hyames retired the third man in this same inning on one of the most spectacular plays seen on the dia­ mond in yearn. Rogers hit a fly back of first and Jud, after a desperate run, dove over the foul line and speared the ball with one hand, roll­ ing over and over. But he clung to the sphere. It was a beaut! The C.

With do intention to detract from the many contests Id every department of the West Michigan State Fair, not forgetting that more information which will feed the progressive mind, may .be gained in one day at the fair than in a full month elsewhere, we are Just now reminded that the fair that fails to provide special en­ tertainment for the visitor Is a serious disappointment to a very .large percent of the thousands who enjoy a week at the fair. The fair at Grand Rapids has been especially fortunate in get­ ting under contract the Daring Beachy, the most noted of afi Aviators, who will make two flights every afternoon. Beachy carries with him in one flight each day, an Aeronaught who will ride to a height of 2000 feet when he will leap from the machine, with parachute folded beneath hi* arm where he carries it until near­ ing earth when he releases it and sails to safety. This has been des­ cribed as being so thrilling and death-defying, that strong men hide their eyes, anticipating the fatal fall which does not happen. The “Battle in the Clouds” what is it? It is nev. It fa one half century in advance of our day. It is the Climax of Pyrotechnics and Spectacular Production.

The “small purchase temptation" makes it very hard to ac­ cumulate any certain sum by keeping money in your pocket or hiding it around the house-probaHy that has been your trouble.

What if, her engines disabled, the freshet current in the river should carry her through the Chute? Yet. boats had gqnt through that safely. And with this thought Captain Banks grew of a sudden quite dluy, for what had been done might be done again, he reasoned. Ordinarily a good ten feet of water ran in the Chute. With the river at its present height bo could fairly count on finding 16. For a width ot 100 feet the Chute was clear of rocks, nd the water ran in great oily seas.

The Belding baseball team was out­ classed when they ran up against the home team Friday. They were a bunch of gentlemen, and tried hard to win. making some brilliant playa and pulling down several homers which. would have piled up the scores. Score: RHE Hastings3 1006006 X—10 12 3 Belding0 0010010 0— 2 84 Batteries:—Wells and Foster; Wor­ den, Bailey and Given. Line Drives. Wells gave his first walk to Soules In the second. Our old friend Steckle was with us again, playing first for the visitors. -Maltby made a pretty catch of Gould’s fly between first and second In the ninth. Michael stole second in tbe fourth but died there when M. gek fstled to beat out a bunt. Foster's hoodoo is still on his trail. The last man up In the ninth nearly broke his hand with a long swing of the bat. After tbe terrible fifth Baily went to second and Worden, the big bov with worlds of steam and little else, replaced him. Wells, who has returned from a abort try out with Muskegon, was on the mound for Hastings and his work wae good at all times. M. Eck made a sensational one band spear ot Gould’s burning drive past the box in the sixth, getting the runner by a close margin at first Steckle had a. bad day with the stick, three strike outs oat of five times up and easy outs to short and the box, being the best he could do. Kynett laid one down and beat it to first st the start of the 8th and went to third on G. Eek's single to right then with Bean up they pulled off a double steal. Tbe ball got past the catcher and Kynett scored. Hastings batted all the way around In the fifth, Kynett starting things with a three bagger to center and re­ tiring the side with a fly to short right which the second sacker capt­ ured for the third out.

Eck swung for the third strike and the score did not count The little manager also an­ nexed second in the seventh. Laneu. who was released by Hust­ ings after a short try out early thia season, started the game for Kalama­ zoo. He was wild as a London Mili­ tant and only went three innings. His three bagger in the third was tbe longest hit of the game, but he per­ ished when VanGregor grounded to G. Eck for the third out. The first triple play of the season came in the third. Kynett was hit by a pitch ball and Bell bunted safely. G. Eck raised a pop fly between the box and first and the first base ma’i came in fast, getting the ball just be­ fore it touched the ground. He threw to second catching Kynett and the pitcher took tbe return throw to first getting Bell there. Someone with more ambition than brains, took pains to wire the door to the judges stand shut from the in­ side in such a manner that It was im­ possible for the newspaper men and official scorer to gain admittance. The interior of the stand was also plastered with a liberal amount of axle greese. Whether the act was that of destructive boy* or of some older person with a twisted intelleci is not known, but it would afford the writer great pleasure to rub the per­ petrator’s nose in the axle greese and give him his personal opinion ot such a trick.

ATTENDANCE WERE GOOD. Spaaldlag Were Present sad Speke Friday Afteraeaa. The nineteenth annual reunion of the Barry county soldiers and Bail­ ors, bo ausplcously begun on Wed­ nesday, was carried through to the very end, Friday afternoon, with equal success. On Thursday afternoon W. W. Pot­ ter furnished the piece de resistance of the menu with one of his vigor­ ous, thoughtful talks, in which he deprecated some of the modern fads in vigorous fashion, and defended the good old doctrines of Individual rights •X, •WaMibllltlee. On Thursday evening there was an interesting talk by J. H. Dennis, in which he described some of his ex­ periences and observations while at­ tending the Gettysburg celebration In July. 0upt W. E. Conkling gave a pleasant talk on the Boys of '<1, and Lee H. Pryor made an address in which he paid his respects rather vigorously to the woman's rights movement of the day. The Ladles' organisation elected Mrs. I. N. Winters, president; Mrs. Jennie Rowlee, vice-president; and Mrs. H. F. Naylor, secretary. At the business meeting of the Soldiers and Bailors Association of Barry county, held Friday morning, the following oScers were elected: President—■Frank Pierce. Secretary—Wm. Ream. Treasurer—Friend D. Soules. On motion and vote the president was allowed to select bls own vice­ president and committee: W. 8. Langston was appointed vice-presi­ dent and A. E Phillipa, Chas. Wil­ liams, F. M. Craig, Ed. llowrey, N. Latham and J. R. Dailey as the exe­ cutive committee. It was voted to hold a three day re­ union next year on the fair grounds It satisfactory arrangements for the same can be made, and to employ martial music. The following resolution of thanks was presented by T. Phillips and adopted by a rising vote. Registration was 104 soldiers and eleven citizens. Total, 115. Resolved. That the thanks of the Barry County Soldiers, Sailors and Loyal Ladies’ Picnic Association, be and are hereby tendered to all the citisens of Hastings, to Mrs. Wiley, and all others who have done ao much to make this our 19th annual reunion a suc­ cess and especially to R. C. Fuller 4b Co., to the Citisens Telephone Co., The Thornapple Electric Co. for kindness In furnishing lumber, lights and phone free. And particularly to oar president for bis untiring efforts in our behalf. At the closing session Department Commander Frank R. Chase, and Adjutant Spaulding of the state G. A. R. organisation were the principal' speakers. In a pleasant off band talk by Com­ mander Chase, he took occasion to condemn the practice of making Memorial Day a time for baseball games and dancing. T%e day should be made sacred to the memory of our heroic dead. His sentiments were warmly commended by his au­ dience. Mr. Chase gave the com­ rades considerable information re­ garding arrangements which are be­ . Ing made to take care of the Michigan delegation to the annual encamp­ ment at Chattanooga. Adjutant Spaulding spoke of the work of the commission that handled the Gettysburg reunion for Michigan. The exercises for each session were enlivened with martial music by the drum corps. The veteran drummers and filers did their work as good soldiers always do their duty, march­ ing to and from the fair grounds, re­ gardless of oppressive heat and stifling dust, playing the good old tunes that once thrilled the boys of '61 as they marched to battle, with as much perfection and enthusiasm as though they weren’t living on “borrowed time," as their gray hair and wrinkled features showed they actually were. Other pleasant numbers on the various programs were the singing and readings by local talent, all of which added greatly to the pleasure of the reunion. The total enrollment of old soldiers was about a hundred and fifteen. The ladles enrolled sixty-six. On Friday morning D. H. Grow, commander of Fitzgerald Post, I. N. Winters and several other members of the post and corps, held a little Informal reception for Commander Chase and Adjutant Spaulding at the Parktr House, after which they were WESLEYAN METHOD­ ISTS ^CONFERENCE SEVENTY-FIRST SESSION CLOSED SATURDAY, AFTER ANNOUNC­ ING APPOINTMENTS.

Harold, oldest son of Henry Smith, of the first ward, had the misfortune to break his left arm while alighting from the American Laundry delivery wagon, late Saturday afternoon. The wagon stopped near the Michigan avenue river bridge and the boy step­ ped upon the wheel to alight, his foot slipped and he fell upon his hands, breaking both bones In his left forearm.

Everyone invited. MORE SCHOOL ROON ANO BETTER ROADS PROPOSITIONS DEFEATED BIT NOW WHAT DOTH BONDING SHALL WE BO DOT Bfoeasstoa of the Subjects by the People May Bring Out a Solution ot the Problems. The defeat of both school and city bonding' propositions raises the puestion of what la to be done in the future regarding advancement in municipal affairs. There is no question but that more room Is needed for housing and caring for the students of our city schools. There Is no doubt under the handicap restriction ns to amount which can be raised for city tax, that streets must suffer for want of prop­ er working. Our per cent Is the limit for all city tax. When we take out the fixed charges or expenses the balance is but a small margin for street repairs. In speaking with a farmer, living but a few miles from town, he declared he did not haul his products to this city be­ cause the worst part of the haul was within the city limits. In conver­ sation with nldenhen they say the amount is so small they cannot do any of the work satisfactory, and they do all possible with the means afforded them. It is more than likely the state legislature will be convened this fall, and if It is necessary to amend the city charter, a petition to have such change made ought to be promul­ gated. We are of the opinion that the charter can be amended by the people,—the voters of the city,—and it should be amended s6 that better streets may be secured especially those leading into town. We believe too, it would serve a good purpose to discuss the school room proposition through the news­ papers and public meetings. The city is at a point where it must advance or retrogade; no great tax burden is needed but certainly there must be some provision to keep Hastings to the front Talk it over with your neighbor.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES GATHERED FROM A VISIT TO THE WATER WORKS. million gallons the modern pump Is so constructed us to require from 14 to 36 a million gallons, which is a big saving in cost of operation. From the facts we have here given, It looks very much as If the city would soon be compelled to put In new pumps and Increase the water supply with additional wells. Married. Dry, Hot Weather and Growth of City Are Taxing Capacity st tbe Plant Severely. The extraordinarily long and hot dry spell which has prevailed this summer and tbe constant growth of the city are two factors that are mak­ ing the problem of furnishing this city with water a serious one. There is no finer drinking water in Michigan than Hastings has, but bow long will It hold out if the city continues to grow? Our water works plant was adequate fifteen or twenty years ago, but bow is It meeting tbe conditions of today? It would be an expensive and danger­ ous situation If the pumps gave out or the wells failed. Are we, as sensible, provident, citisens taking account of such possibilities and providing against them, or are we acting the foolish part of neglecting to providfl for the demands which the future, and tbe very immediate future at that, will surely make? And so a little information along these important linea will not be out of place. A Journal-Herald reporter called at the water works Monday af­ ternoon and asked the efficient engi­ neer in charge, Leon Hopkins, a number of questions which he very cheerfully answered. First, as to the amount of water pumped during the mouths of June and July and the first two weeks of August last year and this year. In June, 1912, the amount of water pumped was 11.546,800 gallons, In July 1912, it was 12,237,519 gallons; and during the first two weeks of August, 4,275,745. This makes a total for tbe period mentioned ot 28,060,­ 064 gallons. This year tbe figures are, for June 13,830,810; <or July. 15,685,640; and tor the flrat two weeks of August 6.763.505—a total of 36,279,955 gal­ lons, or an increase over tbe corre­ sponding period of last year of 8,219,­ 891 gallons. The biggest single day’s pumping this year was 692.650 gallons, Ju.'.c 28th. It is a curious fact that the record for June and July 1903, ten years ago. was about the same as for the same months of 1912, in fact a trifle more. The figures for June, 1903, were 12,257,236, and for July 1903, 12,132,217, This Is more than for 1912 but considerably below this year’s record. The cost of coal to pump a million gallons of water is carefully kept by Mr. Hopkins. It shows a gratifying decrease in coat. Jn June, 1912, it was 811.72, In June, 1913, 810.17; In July 1912, 811.03; in July 1913. 110.24. By careful experimenting with different coals, Mr. Hopkins has reduced tbe cost until it has probably reached the minimum with the pres­ ent,-umping equipment. fifteen years ago this equipment Mr. Delos Herbert Flower, of Kala­ mazoo county, and Miss Altha Irene Nausel, of Prairieville township, were quietly married at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage Aug. 16, by Rev. James B. Pinckard. Both young peo­ ple are well known and highly re­ spected.

The germs get out of the body of a person who has tuberculosis, not only In the ma­ terial which is coughed up, but also in the little drops, too small to be seen, which are sprayed out when persons with tuberculosis cough or sneeze. Great care must be taken to de­ stroy all the material coughed up by the consumptive, and to avoid care­ less coughing and sneezing. If this is not done, and if the sputum Is dis­ charged on the floor or carpets or clothing the germs may live for months, especially in dark, damp, unventilated bedrooms, living rooms, and work-rooms. The germs will live in tbe darkness and dampness for a long time, and are stirred up in dusting and sweeping these rooms. They float in tho air and may be breathed Into the lungs, or may fail upon articles of food and be taken into the body In that way. It Is not safe to move into a house or rooms In which a patient with tuberculosis has lived until such house or rooms have been thoroughly cleansed and disinfected or renovated. The kind of people most apt to get tuberculosis are those who are run down or ill from poor or Insutfilclent food, from living In dark, overcrowd­ ed or Ill-ventilated rooms, or from overwork, or during convalescence from other exhausting diseases. Their weakened systems cannot re­ sist the disease, especially where the air Is bad from poor ventilation or overcrowding. Officers Can Make Srhoolroomx Sani­ tary If They Desire.

Wespinter way of thinking. . “One day, two years ago, I attend­ ed our County Fair,” said Mp. Watts. “I stood at the booth of which I was supervisor, listening to the talk that drifted in snatches of prises won on pigs, sheep and cattle, the same talk that 1 had heard at every Fair for ten years. Suddenly I became conscious of how often 1 had heard tills talk of the wonderful Improvement that Jiad really been made in the conditions of live stock in that length of time. Just at that moment a woman with a fretful baby in her arms stopped near me to rest A child of about three years clung to her skirts with one hand and with the other fed herself on a large un­ ripe banana. Three other children, brothers and slaters, clambered about in Imminent danger of broken necks and trampled toes. One might label the picture, I thought, an average family on a holiday. As I looked back, I saw myself and my brothers and sisters forty years ago, no better, no worse. Measles, mumps, whoop­ ing cough, would .be a part of these children’s Uvea ns it had been of mine. If they lived through these necessary evils, without too great loss of vitality, they might grow to manhood and womanhood. Then I began to think that this family would mean five more families of the same kind—possibly less endurance. "A friend Interrupted my thoughts to Invite me to go to the stock barns with her where the premiums had Just been awarded. Blue ribbons and rod ribbons showed bravely on the stalls. Every animal in the clean, well-order­ ed cattle and bog pens had been fed 1 and groomed with utmost care. Aman pointed with pride to a pen of hogs and told us that they had been watch­ ed almost day and night, that the wat­ er they drank had been analyzed, their food measured and weighed and only the kinds given that would bring beat results. It was then that the Idea of the baby health contest was born.” As a result of Mrs. Watts* thinking and planning and extensive work, the first baby health contest was held In Iowa at the Iowa state fair In August, 1911, with Mrs. Mary T. Watts as su­ perintendent. The first baby health contest to be held In the state of Michigan will be that conducted at the West Michigan state fair the first week in September where nearly four hundred dollars in prizes ranging from five to fifty dol­ lars are offered for the babies scoring the highest number of points.

The largest crowd ever attending a bail game In thia city waa present last Friday, when Allegan, which was holding the edge, met tbe local team. The crowd was estimated variously from 1500 to 2000, but the gate re­ ceipts places tbe figure closer to the higher estimate. They saw a ball game gratifying to the home people In results, but equally gratifying to those who wanted to see a good game. The victory was won by the locals, tut good playing was on both aides. It is not an easy task to de­ feat Allegan with Its duet of pro­ fessionals on tbe alab, but Bell of tbe locals did the trick with an al­ most errorless support. The feature of the game was the pulling down of a line drive to right by George Eck, his accurate and quick delivery to second baseman Rogers, who relayed it to the home plate in time to catch an Allegan runner, spoiling -the only chance the Allegan team had in the game for u tally. The drive looked good for three bases and with two on meant a tie if not a winner of the contest. This makes the teams a tie in the six games played. The business men of the city closed their places of busi­ ness for two hours and patronised the team. Sporting editor Dickerson, of tho Grand Rapids Press, was to have been present and partake of a lunch at the Parker House but he missed the train and chartering an auto, at­ tempted to reach tbe city in time to see the game, but was again ma­ rooned by a balky mobile and ar­ rived when it was all over but the shouting.

Kynett sacrificed Eck to sec­ ond nnd he went to third when Bell was. out on a bunt. He stole home but the throw cut the plate for a third strike on G. Eck. Flood who has always hit well against Hastings got on once, his sin­ gle to right In the fourth giving him his only trip to first. He perished there when Shafer grounded to Rog­ ers for the third out Bean who Is recovering from hla batting slump scored the second run in the fourth. He hit a pretty single to right, went to third when the third sacker made a wild throw on Maltby’s bunt and came home when the first baseman dropped the throw from sec­ ond on Well’s grounder. ’ It fell upon Ham Eck to pull off the real sensation ot the game in tho sixth. Sohn walked. Hyames struck out and Beck came across with a twobagger to left, Sohn going to third. Nolan met the ball fairly and It looked like a tie score until Ham got busy with the Ty Cobb stuff, getting the ball after a hard run between first and second. He threw to Rogers who got Sohn at the plate, shutting off the run and making the third out. Bell saved his stick work until the seventh when he sent u beautiful three bagger to right. He scored on a wild pitch. Foster’s red hot foul to left in the eighth tipped a fan off the fence but he came up smiling and uninjured. Dropped One at Leslie. The Hastings team dropped from their regular stride Just long enough last Saturday to lose at the homecom­ ing at Leslie, to a team supposed to represent that village. Wells who started tor the locals was far from being at his best and was relieved by Kynett early In the contest and the entire team showed the effect of the stiff game with Allegan Friday. The final count was 4 to 5. Methodist Episcopal Church, There remain but four more Sun­ days of the conference year.

It is therefore fair, and within the Pm* the MgM UMtoroteX bounds of moderation, to say that ttwltht. Woodrow Wilson has already justi­ fied the judgment of the people in He Is HaUw Gm4. placing him in hla exalted position. ■ Woodrow WHson has already been In the White boose long enough to teat him out as to his capacity to fill the Ugh office of president success­ fully. He has bad some serious diplomatic problems to handle, he has the difficult task of outlining and inspiring a legislative program of tariff and currency reform, having to deal with a congress composed of many conflicting views and interests and having a very narrow partisan advantage in the upper house; he has had to meet the hostile criticism of a minority smarting under recent defeat and eagerly watching for a chance to criticise—all this he has had to try him. But no one Is saying today, not even his political oppo­ nents, that this new, democratic president is falling below the meas­ ure which the American people stamped upon him when they gave him such an overwhelming majority last November. No one is saying to­ day that Woodrow Wilson is not mak­ ing good. It is true that his policies have not yet been fully applied, nor have they yet borne fruit. But the country has confidence in their wisdom. He and his able secretary of state were confronted at the very outset with a most delicate situation creat­ ed by the anti-Japanese movement in California. Quietly and without any sensational methods the presi­ dent and Secretary Bryan grappled with g>to difficulty, and today there is not tho slightest apprehension of trouble with our Oriental proteges. The reformatory legislation which tho president, true to the pledgee which his party made a year ago. is asking congress to pass, while still unfinished. Is almost certain to be emoted, after the senators have had their last word upon these subjects. And It Is to be noted, that If we are given a genuine tariff reform law and a satisfactory readjustment of our currency system, it will be, not because congressmen want to pass such measures, bnt because Woodrow Wilson, representing the will of the people, has the firmness, the courage, the Influence, to hold congress to Its duty. Finally, in the Mexican situation, which calls for a higher measure of statesmanship, diplomatic skill and knowledge of international law than any situation that has arisen In this country since tbe Spanish-American war, President Wilson is pursuing bls way with an adroitness and a masterly hand that command the con­ fidence of the country. If we get Why Freleug the Agsuyf The tariff bill Is making progress very slowly in the United States sen­ ate these sweltering daya. As a matter of fact the country has made up Its mind that tbe democratic pro­ gram' ot tariff reduction is going through without material change. It would seem therefore that the sena­ tors, realising the sentiment of the country, would cut short speech mak­ ing and get the matter off their hands as soon as possible. But that Is not the senatorial way of doing things. It would not be satisfactory to that august body to let any measure come to a vote until every senator bad given to his colleagues, and to his constituents the benefit of bis opinion on every schedule. It would not do for the republican senators to forego the opportunity to warn the country of the dreadful consequences that are to follow this democratic tar­ iff legislation. And so Senator Gronna predicts disaster to the farm­ ers from the reduction In rates on agricultural products and Senator Lodge bemoans the ruin that will come to New England fishermen after fresh fish is put on the free list. After all, if these senators would stop worrying about the farmers and the fishermen, and come to a vote on the tariff bill, the country would be glad to take its chances under this awful tariff measure which It wants passed. It would greatly prefer to have the whole question settled than to have tbe United States senate “fuss’’ with it any longer. In tbe time of peace prepare for war. Is hardly applicable to tbe United States. Tbe Roosevelt Idea of a large standing army and great array ot battle Mripo to insure peace, to a peraieiona sentiment. No na­ tion on earth baa more natural pro­ faction or advantages against Inva­ sion by foreign foe. It has been demonstrated by three Instances, that a call to arms brings Into service the flower of manhood of the nation; the manufacturing interests can prompt­ ly fill requisitions for equipment. Long before hostile nation or nations could come prepared for battle Uncle Sam would be ready to meet them. Standing armies are costly; battle­ ships rapidly decay, so after all la said and done we could never be on a war footing unless at an almost prohibitive expense. With a nucleus of 35,000 U. 8. troops and the state militia to start with ninety days would suffice to form Into a formidable army. There is more reason to fear the undermining and destruction of this republic from within than from any foreign foe. Governor Sulzer, of New York, lias probably made errors; many have been guilty of malfeasance but Sulzer at his worst, is preferable to Murphy the Tammany chief at his best, if only the present imbroglio of the governorship eliminates Tammany, the country will be greatly benefited, and democracy purified. Sugar schedule lias passed the Senate without amendment. The two democratic senators from Louis­ iana voted with the republicans, against the bill. Uncle Joe Cannon will again be a candidate for congress. The ruling passion still clings to tbe stand pat­ ter. Gov. Sulzer may have been guilty ot misappropriating funds, but that is a common occurrence in New York. With two governors New York ought to be well governed,—but is it? Through Narlberu Weeds. W. W. Potter left here Friday, bound on a vacation such as very few ot our citisens would care to take, we imagine. He stopped in De­ troit and Ralph Rogers joined him for a hike through the woods ot the northland. From the “Soo” they proposed to make their way, either to some point on the Canadian or Mich­ igan side ot Lake Superior, and then take a tramp through the unbroken forests, far from the haunts ot men. For their journey they expected to dress In woodmen's garb, with mocassins on their feet, and a pack containing tho simple*necessities ot life on their backs. Look for some good stories when they get back. Sewer to Be CssMructed. The common council has ordered the long-talked-of new sewer to the second ward school house built and It is expected that the work will be begun as soon as the necessary pro­ files are ready. This sewer will be twelve inches in diameter and 2600 feet long, beginning at the Intersec­ tion of Hanover with State, running on State to Montgomery, then south to Bond.

The couroc, of study are eo eranged u to giye each pupil a thorough practical edu­ cation, beat suited to make intelligent, useful citizens. practice, eau Tho High Sohool Oftoro tho Following Courooo COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSE: This course is intended to meet the needs of students who are planning to continues their school work beyond the high school Gradcour8? are,3“a!,‘??d S? ent“> without examination, any state normal amTe^ghtee^Fo’therstatee C®ntra* Association, which includes Michigan GENERAL COURSE: This course is offered to students who wish to attend high school for the cultural value and who have not fully decided as to the kind of work they wish to pursue after graduating from high school. The studies of this course are largely elective and may be so selected as to permit students to change to the college prenaratory course or to the county normal. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT: The aim of this department is to prepare young men and women for actual busineBB life. The latest and most approved commercial forms and methods are used m ail classes including arithmetic, penmanship, business forms, book-keeping, commercial law, stenography and type-writing. Students who have successfully completed this course are in great demand. The call for those who are thoroughly prepared in book-keeping or in stenography and type-writing is greater than the school has been able to supply. Those who have been out of school for some tune and wish to enter special or short courses to prepare themselves for positions with good salaries should consult the superintendent, the principal or Miss Grace N. Bowman, supervisor of this department. BARRY COUNTY NORMAL: No person ought to attempt to teach in any school, rural or graded, without special preparation. School boards and tbe general public are coming to realize this fact more and more and are demanding trained teachers for all positions. The course leads to a teacher’s certificate good for three years in any school of the county not haying more than two teachers. The certificate is renewable for an addition­ al three years in case of successful experience in teaching. Students at least seventeen years of age who prepare for teaching and have earned twelve credits in high school ap­ proved by the County Normal Board are qualified to enter the normal, and the work of the normal may be substituted for the senior year of the General Course in the high school, provided four of the twelve credits have been earned in the Hastings school. ,. AGRICULTURE COURSE: To meet the growing demands for the teaching of the science and art of agriculture in the public schools, a short course was given last year in the high school as a substitute for some of tbe regular science wort. This proved to be especially practical and veiy popular with the students. Those who desire to pursue agriculture during the coming school year will be permitted to choose their studies from the “Course in Agriculture for High Schools of Michigan” recently issued by the Educa­ tional Department of the Michigan Agricultural College. Mr. Leland Markley, a graduate from the Agricultural College of the Illinois Univer­ sity, has been employed to take charge of this department and to teach natural science classes in the high school. Mr. Markley, who is a Michigan man, completed three years of the Michigan Agricultural College and is most highly recommended by that institu­ tion. Superintendent W. E. Conkling will be in Hastings next week and will be pleased to answer‘school inquiries and communications, also to meet students and parents who wish to consult with him concerning school matters.

But the wise ones don’t do it now. They nave a handy engine to run the aw, while they rest and plan for next summer’s work. That engine is about the busiest and most convenient machine the wise man has on his farm. It pumps water for him, runs the sepa­ rator, washing machine, feed grinder, corn shelter, and grindstone. Often it runs a hay press, ensilage cutter, small thresher, or a repair shop. The year round it drudges for him, saving the rifan’s strength for more prof­ itable things. And the wisest man has an I H C Oil and Gas Engine because it does most for him at least cost. Its simplicity renders it almost trouble- proof. Its construction makes it easy to start and to oper­ ate, and it is most economical in fuel consump­ tion. It is made of best material, and when necessary it will deliver 10 to 30 per cent above its rated horse power. I H C responsibility for the engine lasts all the years it is in service. I H C engines are made in all styles—verti­ cal and horizontal, portable, stationary and skidded, air and water cooled. There are pumping, sawing and spraying outfits. Sizes from 1 to 50-horse power, to operate on gas, gasoline, naphtha, distillate, kerosene, and alcohol Oil tractors. 6-12 to 30-60-horse power for plowing, threshing, etc. The I H C local dealer will show you the engines and tell you all about them.

The following, taken from Subur­ ban Gardens, will be of interest to residents of Jefferson and Green streets who are reseeding their lawns and parkings as a result of the re­ cently completed paving on those streets: Grau should never be cut shorter than two inches on either new or old lawns, for Its roots are left unpro­ tected from the scorching sun when it is shorter, and this means that dry or very -hot weather will burn It sear and brown. Mow often, even as often as every fourth or fifth day, if neces­ sary to keep it at this beigbth, espe­ cially on a new lawn, and never rake away the clippings. They form the best possible mulch and fertiliser and are so short when mowing is done as often and as regularly as it should be that they sift down among the standing grass immediately and are tout to sight. Reseed all bare spots every spring and take out weeds ar fast aa they appear, pepper­ ing the apace which is thus left bare with seed, whatever the season.

The annual campmeeting and con­ ference of the Seventh Day Adventist which opened at the fair grounds last Thursday evening la attracting large crowds and the lectures and sermons are proving intensely interesting, both to followers of the faith and to the many local people who are at­ tending the service*. There are one hundred and twentyfive living tent* pitched upon the ground* and the inhabitant* of the tented city together with those oc­ cupying rooms about town bring the out of town attendance up to nearly seven hundred. The largest attend­ ance of the week was upon Bunday when upward of one thousand people visited the grounds. Elder T. C. Mc­ Vagh, of Otsego, president of the West Michigan conference, preached the opening sermon Thursday even­ ing. The first business meeting of the session was called to order at 10:30 a. m., with Elder McVagh in the chair. Following the seating of delegates President McVagh delivered the ad­ dress of welcome to the convention. He spoke of the world-wide nature of the wort to which Seventh Day Adventist* are committed; that work being the promulgation of the “ever­ lasting gospel" mentioned in the first twelve verse* of the 14th chap­ ter of Revelation. He also spoke of the gain In tithes and offerings of the last year over the preceding one. Seventh Day Adventist* believe la the Bible plan • of supporting the ministry, 1. e., the paying of one-tenth of their income* to the maintenance of that work. Elder McVagh stated that during the year 1911 837.88ft.31 was paid in tithe, while during 1912 there was 838,934.49, a gain of about 81,500. Seventh Day Adventist* also believe in foreign missionary work, and this conference alone gave 814,749.89 for mission* during the past year. That the work in this conference la onward was evidenced by the adding Gt over 200 new believer* to it* mem­ bership during the last annual period. Prof. J. G. Lamson, of Nevada, Iowa, a member of the Iowa bar, and formerly a practising attorney In this state, spoke Friday evening on the subject of “Apostates from Re­ publicanism.” Both the democrats and republican* were anxious to know what the professor would have to say with regard to these apostates, und of course were anxious to know In which class he would put the pro • gressives. He very carefully avoid­ ed however, calling any name*, but, after announcing some definite prin­ ciples and determining true republi­ canism, left each man to decide tor himself where he belongs. The particular object of Mr. Lamson’s attack was that class of pro­ fessor* In our colleges and universi­ ties and others who join with them, who are endeavoring to overthrow our constitution in Its present form and thereby taking a course which will commit the government to re­ ligion* legislation, or by so belittling the constitution in their class-room* that the rising generation will be very willing to throw aside the prin­ ciples for which our forefather* fought The statement of Prof. Wendall, of Harvard university, who said, "The revolution wa* fought In behalf of the constitution, and the rank and tile of the colonial army went down In rags to maintain the fallacy that all men are created equal," and that the Declaration of Independence "is a piece of spectacular rhetoric,” are but specimens of the gigantic apostasy from the true principles of republicanism against which every Tight thinking man and woman ought to use their most earnest endeavor. At the business meeting, held Bun­ day, the following standing commit­ tees were appointed for the purpose of nominating officer* for the coming year, laying plans and in other ways providing for the business of the con­ ference: 1 Nominating Committee:—C.

GRAND RAPIOS SIGNS TWO HASTINGS MEN mo raw SHIM MONDAY VIOLATING LOCAL OPTION LAW. Freak Livermore, Manager *f Shoe More, Sentenced to One Tear nt * leala for EMbessleaseaL Judge Smith held a short session of court Monday morning for the pur­ pose of passing sentence upon two persons who had plead guilty to the charge* alleged against them. One wa* Mr*. Maria Hiser of Nash­ ville, who had previously plead guilty to two charge* of violation of the local option law, keeping a place where li­ quor 1* sold and selling or giving IIuor away. The court sentenced her on the first charge and suspended sen­ tence on the second. The sentence was a flue of 8150 and costs of 810. The unfortunate woman who is said to have been influenced In hey guilty act by her husband, broke down and wept when sentence was pronounced. The other case was that of Frank Livermore^ manager of the We*r-uwell shoe store, who embessled from his employers by taking shoes out of the stock and disposing of them for bls own profit, and then, as it is gen­ erally believed, tried to hide his crime by committing the more serious one of setting fire to the building. In pronouncing sentences Judge Smith said that if there were not the second and far more serious charge against him, he would be disposed to be very lenient. It wa* the prisoner’s first offence, and It would have been possible to arrange a way for him to pay back the amount embezzled. But because of the strong presumption that be would not have been able to clear himself of the charge of arson, which he understood would be mad'', he felt obliged to punish him more se­ verely. The court then sentenced Mr. Livermore to a maximum term of five year* In the Ionia reformatory, with a recommendation of one year. Assignment of Teachers.

A remarkable example ta that of William Sharp, who shook off his male meatal characteristics and. be­ came a woman la heart and mind­ Sharp when a youth ran away and Joined a band of gypsies- Wtosh too returned to society be took up literetare and decided too wanted to beoowM a poet. He found he coaid act por­ tray hie ideal* white plain WUMam Sharp. He would sit down, take upon him­ self a feminine tone and write hooka ia Ftaaa Maetaod. Ho used to say he could write oat of hie heart In a way he coaid not do as William Sharp. Fiona always was, spoken of as a separate person, and ho even wrote tatters to her. There was a real difference la tbe literary style, and even in tbe hand writlag. > Another css* was that ot a Mis* Beasrhemp, who had what is describ­ ed as a multiple personality. It was recorded of her that she could change her personality hour by hour. In one of her characters she waa described as a saint, very prim and rigidly eonSMdentloui, unite Incapable of dishon­ esty. In another character she re­ laxed somewhat, and in the third per­ sonality she was known as Bally, chiefly because of her mischievous, troublesome and nasty behavior. Miss Beauchamp, like most women, disliked spiders intensely, but It was astonishing to find that her third per­ sonality, Sally, loved them and col­ lected them in her trinket box. Often she would scream on discovering the very spider she bad so carefully placed in the trinket box herself. Sally would write letters to people to whom Mine Beauchamp would not speak. Ia this way she found herself tn for appointments with persons she would not think of meeting as Mias Beauchamp. It was easy to see which character waa in poaeesstan by the way she walked, by the clothes she wore and by the manner In which she shook hands. Again there was the case of tbe Rev. Ansel Baughan, wbo awoke one day to find himself living under the name of Brown a long way from bls bomb. He bad’wandered there and had been living there for two mouths, keeping a shop. Those extraordinary rases of dual personality are eclipsed by this case: TM* woman evidenced tbe possession of no fewer than ten different person­ alities. one of which was, of course, her normal self. Her abnormal states jrere: I. A childish mood, In which she referred to herself as a thing, or a good thing, even signing letters tn this fashion. t. A passionate mood, tn which she became Intensely irate, and even went •o far a* to bite her clothes. This personality was very much better edu­ cated than that of the thing, and the letters written by her while under its influence were tn a vastly different handwriting. During this mood she referred to herself as Old Nick. 3.Every now and again the pa­ ttent became deaf and dumb. During these stages she would communicate with her fellows only by talking on her fingers, the method of which lan­ guage she understood slightly in her normal state. Always her transition from this mood would be to that ot the good thing, but frequently she would be a deaf mute for days at a time. 4. A mood In which she imagined heroelf only three days old. 5. An even more remarkable mood, tn which she thought that she had been born only tbe night before. «. A terrible mood, in which many degeneracies were evidenced. White under this control she Invariably re­ ferred to herself as "the dreadful wicked creature," and gloried In her wickedness. 7. A surprising moral and docile mood, tn which she referred to her­ self as “pretty dear," "good creature," or 'Tom’s darling." 8.

NOT A PASSING FAB Eugenics Is a Serfoas Noels) HavemenL Cardinal Gibbons Is only partly right In characterising eugenics as "a fad which will pass with tbe rest of the fads." The follies aad adsurdities now committed in its name will undoubtedly pass, such a> attempts to make marriage perfect by act of legislature and intrust Its regulation to doctors of any degree ot responsi­ bility. But eugenics Is something more than a matter ot medical certificates and ministerial prohibition. It is a serious social movement inspired by ideals of racial improvement and its progresa is not measured by statutory restrictions but by the extent of the awakened popular recognition ot the obligations of marriage which It haa already effected.

The fall mushroom season wilt soon be on and as many Hastings people are in the habit of gathering them they will no doubt be interested In the con­ I tents of a circular recently issued by the California agricultural experiment station descriptive of toadstools and mnshrooms and In which they give an absolute method of determining the difference between the poisonous and the edible variety; in fact two*meth­ ods are described. The first is by eating them. Take a little piece and chew it, but do not swallow the juice. If you are not sick or dead In another twenty-four hours you may eat the rest The other method is to let somebody else have the experience. If they eat the mushroom or toadstool and die, they have been eating toadstoods, but if they are neither sick nor dead then pitch in and eat of them to your heart’s content BHter for Cantan. Beginning August 18 carriers will no longer be permitted to deliver mail to rear or side doors in the residence districts. Mail must be taken to the front door. The law provides that the carrier shell go to the front door,ring or knock and wait a reasonable time for tbe Inmate to answer. If no one cornea to the door in answer to his ring, he must go on, aad in case this occurs several times, the harrier must report tbe matter to the postmaster, wbo in turn must report to the poet­ master-general. The result is that delivery to that person is discon­ tinued. In ease there is a mall receptacle on the front of the house, or a letter slit in the door, the carrier Is not re­ quired to make bis coming known. Another grievance which the order will overcome is the habit of the pro­ prietors of business houses expecting the carrier to traverse the full length of their stores, In some cases even to climb a flight of stairs in order to de­ liver the mail to the office desk. In the future each business man murt provide some receptacle for his mall In the front part of the store and if no provision Is made, the carrier Is required to leave his mail on the front counter.

V ) * No longer will school districts and’ township boards in Michigan be ableto fill the shelves of their libraries at random. Tbe boards are now pro­ hibited from using public money to purchase library books except from a list to be issued by the superinten­ dent of public Instruction and the state librarian, which 1s being com­ piled now, and will soon be ready for distribution. The list will be an ex­ tensive one made up of the best books for such libraries. Many books are found in school and township libraries which are not only worth­ less but sometimes harmful and so the most valuable equipment a com­ munity possesses becomes a detri­ ment. Educators today are a unit in declaring that a well-selected library containing plenty of good story books for the children in the younger grades especially Is a most essential feature of a good school. The change in the system of providing school libraries Is an excellent one.

Tlfe Inst legislature passed u lie"' weights and measures law placing the operation of the same In charge ot the state dairy and food department. This law took effect August 15. Under the law the stale dairy and food commis­ sioner became superintendent of weights and measures for the state and bls deputies became Inspectors of weight* and measures. He is also given authority by the law to prescribe rule* and regulations for weights and measure* in the state. One of the greatest abuses In the state is the socalled bottomless peck measure. This measure is about the aise of a stove­ pipe tn diameter and the ostensible object of this small diameter I* so that it can be slipped Into a paper bag and the commodities measured will be In the bag on the withdrawal of tho measure. This measure contains the same number of cubic Inches that tho ordinary flat peck measure contains but owing to Its peculiar shape, in the measuring of commodities like apples or potatoes, it I* impossible to get a peck of those commodities in this measure. A bushel of potatoes under tbe Michigan law* weighs 60 lb*, and n peck of potatoes should therefore weigh 15 lbs. but in the bottomless peck measure only 12 lb*, of average •lie potatoes can be placed therein. Tbe use of thl* measure give* the dealer five peck* to every bushel. The use of thl* measure ha* been con­ demned by other state* and on and after August 15 It* use in Michigan became illegal under the regulations that have been Issued by the state sup­ erintendent of weight* and measures. Dealers and consumers will take no­ tice accordingly. It has been customary throughout the state for grocer* to sell dry beans and like commodities in a tin quart measure. This tin quart measure hold* a liquid Quart which Is about 10 cubic Inches les* than a dry quart measure bolds. As a result a bushel of bean* which contain* 32 quart* when measured out to the consumer In a tin quart measure will measure 37 quarts and the consumer is there­ fore deprived of 5 quarto of beans on every bushel be buys. After August 15 all commodities not liquid must be sold by dry measure, a quart of which contain* 67 1-5 co. in. Under regula­ tion* leaned by the superintendent of weight* and measures, the use of liquid measures in selling dry com­ modities l* prohibited and a failure to observe this, law will invito prosecu­ tion. Inspectors of this department are notified to warn all dealers against the use of bottomless peek and half peck measures, and also against the use of liquid quart measure* when selling any commodity not liquid.

In an overtime game It nosed oui vistory over the Roseland Eclipse of Chicago,! who hold the belt of the independent semi-pros, of the Windy city. Both teams started out with a score, both failed to get anything in the second. Hastings got one in the third and fourth, none in the fifth and sixth, one in the seventh; none In tbe eighth and ninth. One In the tenth, the winning tally. Chicago tallied one In the 5th and one more in the seventh and tied the game in the ninth, but in the tenth Hastings changed from Wells, who had pitched a fine game, to Bel), and the visitors were powerless. Hast­ ings started In with Manager Rogers .at,bat In the last ot the tenth, who hit a single, stole second and went to third on M. Eek’s out at first Then came Bell, with a long drive which would have been a homer. If the •core had been needed, but Rogers .trotted home. Geo. Eck at third and Maltby at first, featured but there was no weak spot in the fields. One of the singular features of thu game was that one tally was made in an inning, Rogers made four and Kynett three of the Hastings’ eight hits. Score by innings: RHE Hastings.......... 1 01100100 1—5 8 2 R. Eclipse. ...100010101 0—4 7 2 Batteries—Wells, Bell and Fostet, Ryan and Greuter. Line Drive*. Slager looked foolish In the second when Wells caught him off first on a hit and run signal. Rogers made a tally without a hit in the third. He walked, stole sec­ ond, then third and scored on a wild pitch. The first three Chicagolans up in the third went out .on foul files, one to Maltby, one to Foster and one to Q. Eck. Sohn ot tbe Allegan team was in center field tor tbe visitors, one of their men being on the bench as the I result of a lame leg. Maltby went eighteen feet into the air, more or less, and- speared Labean’s liner with one hand In the second. It was a classy piece ot work. Faster cosldn't get past without his usual Injury. He bumped his dome . Xklnst-the.second sack in the sev­ enth. The tank stunned him for a minute but was not serious. Bell replaced Wells after Grueter a drove a two bagger to center In the tenth and the way he was going it was simply a question of how long the op­ posing twlrler could hold out. Grueter, the visiting catcher got the longest hit of the game, his three bagger in the sixth going over Bell’s head in center. Ryan followed with n hit to left which brought him In. Wells pitched just four balls In the fifth, Pelton grounding out to third, Blager filed out to center and Rabeau grounding out to Wells. In the sixth it took one half dozen balls to retire the side, Ryan and Evans hitting to short and Sohn to Bell. Stebbins who got back into the Ionia game was on the bench. His injured finger Is still tender and it Is doubtful if he goes behind the bat again this season. However he is a valuable out fielder and may get a chance to better his batting average. The stock yard lads pulled a fine bonehead In the fifth. Kynett hit a slow drive between first and second and the first sacker nailed It. How­ ever hobody took the trouble to cover first and Midge was sate before the Chicago man got back. In the mixup Rogers scored. The guests from the Windy City were well supported with tbe afore mentioned wind and blew fiercely at times. Most of their complaints were without cause and the manner in which they were still sobbing about the umpiring at Allegan the day previous led one to believe it was a habit with them. Novak opened the ninth with a two bagger to left and a pinch hitter went In for Kerwin. He was safe on a bunt and stole second. Wells and Foster pulled off some fast work on a wild pitch holding Novak to third while Slager walked. Labeau drove n fast one to third but Ham pulled off one of his sensational stops and got the pinch hitter at second. The ball went to first and then home, getting Novak at the plate. Canelnsive Evidence. Two colored men were arguing as to whether Simon Peter waa a white man or a negro. Both were positive in their assertions.

As the morning sun dispels the mists in the valleys and lays the smiling face of nature open before the eye of man, so the following news dispatch from the “back blocks” of California comes like a fresh breath from snow-clad mountains and acts ns a tonic of faith in man and womankind. The unsavory revelations of a thousand divorce courts throughout the land are swept from our minds and a renewal of faith In the devote*] unity of tho marriage relations Is es­ tablished by the heroic devotion of Mrs. Mary Stribling of Grizzly Gulch, Cal. She was faithful unto death— and after. The news dispatch reads as follows: A tired woman, leading jn burro with a lob-sided pack on Its back, came slowly down the mountain side Into camp and in a few minutes was trans­ figured Into a pitiful heroine. Even* mon In the street helped to undo tbe ropes which fastened a little plank coffin to the pack saddle and carry II Into a house, where tbe little woman who had not wept nt all, cried her heart out over the body of her hus­ band. Her name she presently told the willing helpers, was Mary Strib­ ling. Her husband, a prospector, waa killed and his partner was badly hurt in n cave-in on their claim. She made the Injured man as com­ fortable as she could, placed pro­ visions where he could reach them and then built a coffin about her hus­ band's body, and after great exertion succeeded in getting it upon the burro's back. She walked 24 hours with hardly a halt until she reached Grizzl Gulch where her husband might be buried with suitable rites. Aid was nt once dispatched to the injured man. The sanctity of the marriage rela­ tion which has been so besmirched by this age, needs such a tonic as tbe simple unaffected devotion . of Mary Stribling. Such devotion brings us up with a jerk. It restores again tbe reverence of our fathers in the sacred bond that should unite man and wife. The Influence of such simple heroism offsets the blight of half a dozen Renos in the hearts and minds of thinking men and women. Faithful unto death takes on a deeper, fuller meaning. May there come to the be­ reaved heart of the heroic little wo­ man the consolation and sympathy she deserves. May the Influence of her devotion reach into the homes of thousands of men and women in the United States so that husbands may exalt wives, wives exalt husbands and faithfulness be re-established in life unto death, and, like tbe case of Mary Stribling, after death.—From Kalama­ zoo Gazette.

Los Angeles.—In a scathing arraign­ ment of what he termed the transpar­ ent mode of dress, Judge Frank Oster <rt Ban Bernardino, from extra session superior court bench, where he was sitting here, declared it inimical to the morals of the country. He made this remarkable utterance In sentencing to San Quentin for five years Henry Stearns, fifty years old. accused of a statutory offense against Grace Crata. "There can be no palliation of your crime," he told the prisoner, "but it te apparent to me that the outrageous lack of modesty on the part of the thousands ot women and girls of ten­ der yeare contribute* to no small de­ gree to such offenses. "It would seem that parents of girls of the school age take pride ta encour­ aging them to emulate the disgraceful modes of dress that the average mod­ iste is able to sell by merely proclaim­ ing them the height of fashion. "Such a practice on tbe part of the parents and the women who parade themselves ta garb of the nature of the silt skirt, the harem trousers, the bath towel suit, and a half dozen other costumes now proclaimed the rage, to be emulated by the average school girl to a crime ot Itself."

Ftater and May*r Ellis Kaka AMmMt. * * Through the courtesy of Charles Welsaert, Jr., we attended the picnic of the Thornapple Valley settlers at Campau lake, last Thursday. We found there an assemblage of 2500 people, mostly farmers and their famllie*. There was a “Midway,’' which would do credit to a county fair; wagon loads of melons, toy bal­ loons and odl sorts of soft drinks from pink lemonade to ginger ale, eatables galore, paddle wheels ami other gambling device*, all after the nlckle or dime order. The apparent first business of all .seemed to get some thing to eat. Then came an improvised program. E. J. McNaughton, of Middleville, wait the master of ceremoniea; Mrs. C. E. Apsey, of Grand Rapids, secretary, and J. W. stone, treasurer. After music by a band, a few words of welcome by President McNaugh­ ton, W. W. Potter, of this city, was called upon to address the assem­ blage, which was very attentive and orderly; even the midway hawkers ceased their barking for the time. After paying a glowing tribute to the early pioneers and giving a brief history of the Indian -thoroughfare from Detroit to the northwest, which passed through the Thornapple val­ ley and of the different Indian vil­ lages trading posts and burying grounds, Mr. Potter launchtd into progressive tendencies particularly attacking primary lavra and govern­ ment by commission. He mixed up some good advice with his talk and created amusement when referring to the raising of famine* through state incubators and brooders. Mayor Ellis, of Grand Rapids, was the next speaker. He differed with Mr. Potter’s conclusions and asserted that both primary and commission Including the recall, were getting nearer the people than away from them. The mayor launched Into the milk question, agitating producers and consumer* of Kent county at this time. He showed statistics and data showing material decrease in typhoid fever owing to the establishing of a filtration plant, and a greatly reduced mortality among babies, by the pure food law, and better milk supply. He said the fanners had retaliated by raising the price of milk one .cent, but he thought the city could afford the raise if the death rate of Infants decreased. The threatening clouds shortened our stay, but there was still'a pro­ gram on when we left. We noticed a fair representation from thia county present We also noticed that our Kent county neighbors were much better off in the way of crops, than this section. T*et» I, hr The agitation for better roads will not down. There is serious defect In our road laws. No provision is made in the so-called state trunk line road law which will compel a township to build such a road even if the road is finished up to its boundary and beyond its boundary on the other aide. This gap cannot be finished orpaid for by the state and charged upon the taxable property of the township. There is no provision in the law In which the stole can build It at state expense. This defect was not foreseen when the law was passed for It was the presump­ tion that every community would be glad of the state aid to better its road*. Local jealousy and prejudice can easily defeat progress in road building by refusing aid to get it start­ ed. A state trunk line road is laid out In this county, under a law defining its course, and traversing its territory from the southeast io the northwest. Such road if built according to speci­ fications would be awarded something like 180.000 from the state. It would be open the year round for traffic. Its grades would be such as to enable every farmer to double hl* load of pro­ duce. Its upkeep would also be forth­ coming from the automobile tax, ac­ cording to mileage of such roads or road. Every farm whether abutting the road or not would rise In value because it would cost less to market products, which Is now an important factor in the expense account of the farm. There is no need to anathematise the automobile; it has come to stay; you cannot drive it off the roads. In an­ other year it will be taxed, and the fund which will be in the millions will go to all parts of the state to help build and upkeep the roads. These auto cars are hard on the roads, they certainly make the dirt roads almost Impassible, but as they are being taxed for road benefit they are entitled to some consideration. There will be abuses: there always havt been “road hogs’’ but communi­ tie* should not cut their noses off to spite their faces. Take hold, farmer friends, and boost the good roads idea and get some of the auto tax money, and help yourselves to better roads for your own convenience. ■etbUbt Kpterepal Ckareh.

WILL PLAY FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GRAND HAVEN AND HASTINGS TO START FINAL SERIES FRIDAY. B*1h Team* Have Hade HemarkaMe Shewing Daring Seasea ef 1»U. A Tri-Csunly League. One of the disadvantages of indo-1 pendent semi-professional ball teams. Is the too frequent desertions of its players to league teams or where a higher salary Is offered. To protect the fast independent teams from these desertions and to protect also from “wringer*’’ from league teams, an association could be formed, thus gaining a protection which otherwise could not be had. In the contest for chamionship of Independent teams, four counties are involved, lonla. Ottawa, Allegan and Barry, with Eaton looking longingly on to join. It Charlotte would set­ tie its past, so that it could be for­ gotten aud forgiven, we would be willing to drop Ottawa and take on our eastern neighbor, making a series of Eaton, lonla, Allegan and Barry. This would insure at leas: two games a week. In Allegan and Ionia, Charlotte and Hastings, also giving opportunity to play other teams. This manner of protection to Independents, has been adopted In several eastern states; and it works well and is one of the reasons why so high an average is maintained, by them. Think it over. W. L.

FIRST SECTION—PAGES 1 TO I, CALLED FROM LABOR TO REFRESHMENT LAST FRIDAY WAS GALA DAY FOR ■ASONS AND EASTERN STARS OF BAHRY COUNTY. Events sf Day Were Broaght is Hap­ py Owe by Bed H*t Ball Gaase Betweea Hastings Bad HleUry. The Masons of Barry county trav­ elled Friday morning, some east, some west, some north and some south, with the ladles of tbe Eastern Star, who were appointed to go with them. In search of the picnic grounds. They found them on the banks of Tbornappie lake. They came from Hastings, and they eame from Nashville, they autoed from Hickory Corners and from Woodland, and when they had all assembled and tbe sundry baskets and bundles bad been opened and tbe contents placed In tempting array on the long tables Ln Mra. Cole's dining room two hundred Masons, their wives and children, were called from labor to refreshment. The day was bright and cool, a very acceptable change after the torrid weather that had prevailed so many days, and all enjoyed themselves. Boon after arriving on tbe grounds a very close, exciting and highly scien­ tific game of baseball was played be­ tween the Browns and the Wunder­ lich*. We regret to say that, owing to tbe rapidity with which the game was played, tbe official scorer lost track of the game, so we are unable to give a detailed report of the morning con­ test. Score for three Innings, 9 to2. Payne hud almost flunked when Keef­ er stepped on his own toes and fell on the »pot. instead of burying him lu the rubbish of the ball diamond they made him promise to be good and Hickory only got one score after that. The scorer who attempted to keep track of the errors became exhausted and had to be carried to the lake to refresh himself before he could go any farther. When he returned to the grounds, tbe game was over. Well, tbe Hickory bunch were all leaguers except Gid Wilkinson, having played six games with Plainwell. Mayor Osborn pitched some ball, but his support had decayed after fifteen days of practice on the fair grounds. Brother Parker nabbed a hot liner over first. Brother Andrus made a dandy catch on a fly In deep right, but says he didn't do It on purpose, and was more surprised than anyone. Brother Howard made a fine catch of a hot one—and then let It go again. No one molested Umpire Vance. It was hinted that he carried a pair of old-fashioned forceps In his pocket, and no one wanted to run up against them. Bowser Feaad Gnllty.

How Do the Classics Halp Uef The answer lies In one little word, art. The classics, more than any modern literature, teach us art, and art Is the conscious purpose of man to make this world more beautiful. Philip Sidney says that the object of poetry Is to make this too-much loved world more lovely; 1 should extend his definition a little further and say that the object of art to to make this world more lovely, more lovable, and more loved.—Henry D.

Waters, CosaoUdalad 1911. BY ■▲STINGS PRINTING COMPANY. J. H. Dennis, I C. F. Field, B. H. Snyder, Business Manager. A Published Every Thursday at Hastings. Michigan. "Benevolent Despotism." Governor Ferris has bad revealed to him tbe pure cussedness of the Bos­ ton-New York owners of the upper peninsula copper mine*, and the “for­ eign element" of miner*. In tbelr re­ fusal to arbitrate the differences be­ tween themselves and the workmen the mine operator* set up the plea tbat they are now housing and In some instance* feeding the striking element of their foreign employe*. . Thia the governor characterise* a* “benevo­ lent despotism." With the protection of tbelr property / f1 by state troop* at the expense of the entire state, an on­ erous task forced upon the executive by the state constitution and laws, these men refuse to end the strike by concession* every fair-minded man believes ought to be given. Men need more than charity to make them good servants. The hour* of labor, the compensation and the character of tbe pay should be adjusted by universal law, not by employers or federation of workingmen. The protection of property should be paid for by the mine owners after reasonable delay, If they persistently refuse to submit the grievance or difference. The plea of low grade ore is no excuse tor imposi­ tion upon the laborer of a low wage and longer hour*. Many of these wage earners are importations con­ trary to law, and they are also ignor­ ant of the law. It I* no wander there­ fore that when the real facts become known to them they revolt If they are unreasonable in their demand* It But, Ignorant aa they are and unac­ quainted with our language, they willlagiy accede to the proposition of arWtration. declaring they want only what 1* right; they ebow to tbe world a far better spirit than the scheming paying out thousands of dollars to protect thia, aa claimed, unproductive property, the state should assist these laborer* to another state or where mining la more profitable. tire because be has sent troop* to care for property menaced by the ignorant sad hot-beaded miners. They ought to be Ids staunch supporters. I regret the dominance of free trade Idea* in the revision of the tariff now being considered in Washington. Ifl thought free sugar would cheapen It to the consumer* I would favor it. If it does not, the government will lose many million* of revenue, solely for the benefit of the thriving sugar re­ finers and this possible result will cost the democratic party dearly. It should not be forgotten that the democratic party ha* never favored free trade; "Tariff for revenue” has been and is the democratic doctrine and that means protection In a de­ gree; because revenue cannot be levied on any article without adding the incident of protection. The con­ servative low tariff Ideas of such progressive republicans as Senators LaFollette and Cummins, come near­ er to what I believe would please the country at this time, than so large 4 free list a* dominates through Un­ derwood-Simmons bill. The currency bill has dangerous features that should be eliminated. I refer to the control of the volume of money by a combination of govern­ ment and bank directors. The Issue of money by tbe government and the abolition of bank Issue Is ver}' de­ sirable; it 1* the old greenback doc­ trine, receiving the vindication of time. I believe the Wilson-Bryan treat­ ment of tbe Mexican trouble Is right and will command the approval of all the civilised nations. Huerta was empowered by treachery and assassi­ nation and should never be recog­ nised. There is no need for armfid intervention, for the present at least. The people of Mexico are to be al­ lowed to have a belly full of slaught­ er, robbery and rapine. There are signs that they are getting sick of these bitter*, and will soon turn to a better life and happier conditions. The Wilson administration to strug­ gling with big problems. The demo­ cratic party baa bravely undertaken a program of constructive legislation Involving purification and reform and I believe the country to prayerfully interested with open mind and arotMMd patriotism. There to one thing 1 want to no­ tice aa I pass and that to the disposi­ tion of the president to regard with religious care the Taft, Roosevelt and McKinley orders covering the most of the federal offlcee Into the classified service.

No one in the vicinity bad noticed the man. but the harbormaster decided to drag the river. After three hours’ work the body waa found. Coroner Rothacher waa called to the scene and went through the dead man’s clothes, finding only a baggage claim check on the Here Marquette rai I road.

There was also a life insurance policy in the satchel, made out to LeRoy A. Phillips and giving hla age as 99 years. Among the letters, several of which were from women, was a short note postmarked Lansing and signed “Mother." Tbe coroner believe* the man jumped from the dock to end his own life.

Grand Haven ha* a strong tanas, having defeated Allegan 6 out of 1*. GAME CALLED AT 3:15 Admission: Gents 25a The game Friday waa really a slaughter. Otsego could not bit, while the local aggregation connected tor twelve safeties and benefiting by the error* of the vlstors plied up a score of 17 to 2. The visitor* scored their two run* In the tint inning. Tbe lo­ cals made scores In every inning. They are a bunch of gentlemen, in striking contrast with some teams which have visited this city. Tbe local team changed positions and demon­ strated their ability to play good ball at any point in the field. Score: R. H. E. Hasting* .4 1213411 x—17 13 2 Otsego ..2 00000000—2 5 5 Batteries—Kynett, Wells, Foster and Foster, Bean; Johnston, Hollenbach, Hoke and Hutchina Line Drives. Rogers stole four base*. Pitcher Foster ha* not signed with Grand Rapids. Three home runs. Bell one. G. Eck one and Roger* one. Stebbins did a nifty piece of work on Holenbeck’s fly to abort left In the eighth. And Otsego has beaten Allegan twice. More dope for the champion­ ship seeker*. Wells went In at the start of the seventh. He didn't have to exert himself however. It wasn’t altogether the visitor’s fault at that It was a Hasting* day and moat any team would have looked bad against them. Maltby took hl* jinx out behind the grand stand and beat its head off before the game—three hits and a fl elder's choice out of five time* up. When Rogers drove hi* three bagger to left in tbe second. Johuston walked from the box. Enough was plenty for the former Hasting* pitcher. Attendance rather light but the small crowd got tbelr money's worth. As a ball game It was awful but as a burlesque It wa* a scream and the fans laughed themselves sick. Stebbins pulled a circus stunt In the seventh. He sent a roller to­ ward first and the pitcher In his ef­ fort to field the ball sprawled across the base line. Stebbins had his high speed clutch in and he turned s somersault over the pitcher and land-­ ed on his back on the sack. When Hasting* took the field In the ninth, the fan* took one look and roared. Foster was in tbe box and Bean receiving, Bell on first and Well* on second while the Eck broth­ er* had traded positions, Big Ham playing short and Max on third, while Rogers, Maltby and Stebbins were in the out field. Ladies 15c. Grand Ledge ball team a* gentle­ manly lot of player* as ever came to the city, helped entertain the crowd Monday. They took the measure of the local team In a 2 and 1 score. Baribeau was well nigh Invincible In the first game allowing but five scattered hits, but Kynett was also in good form too and four hits were all they could gather from him, but error* and two hits in the seventh gave the visitor* two run*. Maltby’* single in the ninth with a double by Roger*, scored the only run Hasting* was able to get. There was some brilliant playing by Stebbins, Bell and Bean in the out field, pulling down long drive* which ordinarily would have been home runs. Bell's splendid pitching and equally splendid support enabled Hasting* to easily win the second game. A seem­ ingly different team faced Baribeau In the afternoon. Hl* delivery was clouted to all corner* of the lot. Manager Roger* started the batfes: with a three-bagger. Jewell's triple, followed by Baribeau’* sacrifice, saved the visitors from being shut out.

Kynett did not issue a pass until the sixth, when Henry waited out for wide ones. The game* were absolutely clean, no rag chewing and the visitors got their share of applause. Wool son received a hand when he came up in the third. Hl* work for Hastings In the past has not been for­ gotten. There was a good healthy attend­ ance In the forenoon and in the af­ ternoon the grand stand and bleach­ ers were packed with an overflow in the field. While Baribeau worked well In bls second game, he was not difficult for the Hastings batters. His morning game was an exceptional exhibition of twirling. G. Eek's throw on R. Barlbeau's grounder In the second inning of the afternoon game, took a bad bound and hit Maltby In the neck. The blow brought him down to his knees. R. Barlbeau's hot grounder in the ninth at the afternoon game caught Rogers on the end ot rigrht thumb, tearing the skin away from the nail In a painful manner, it is not ex j pected that the Injury will keep him 1 out of the Grand Haven series. For a tew minutes it looked like overtime In the morning game. Bean the first man up in the ninth struck out and Maltby followed with a clean hit through short Rogers sent a two bagger to left, bringing Maltby In with the first score after Foster flew out to short. Max Eek's ground­ er to third blasted further hopes. The local out fielders all had a chance to star in the morning session. Bell came In a mile for R. Barlbeau's short fly in the second, and Stebbins brought the crowd to their feet when he robbed Hoyt of a sure hit In the third. Stebbins fell just as he speared the ball but held tight. Bean had his opportunity to shine in the eighth when he went tack In the trees and captured Henry's long fly. ONLY POSSIBLE REPLY Wants | ■y FRANK M. Mg LOOM.

Following thia a business meeting was held at which resolutions of in jortanee to the advancement of the work of the denomination were passed. « Prof. C. 8. Longacre of Washington, D. C., national secretary of the Reli­ gious Liberty association, spoke Wed­ nesday evening upon the subject, “Which Day Is the Sabbath.” The speaker stated that this question waa one which agitated the whole reli­ gious world, and waa destined to be­ come a great issue in the near futureHe said in part as follows: "This is an age of Investigation and the people are bound to find out the truth. The only way to settle a reli­ gious question is by appealing to the sacred volume. If we cannot depend upon the Bible io determine what is tbe truth, then there la no way ot ar­ riving at anything us to the certainty of truth.” The speaker then quoted from Gen. 2:2,3, to show that tbe seventh day was set apart and given to the hu­ man race at th* fcundatloa of the His creative power. “The world wortd as a memorial of the Lord' aad drifted into darkness,” said Professor Longacre, “and the Lord appeared nt ML Sinai and wrote the Sabbath command in Hi* sacred law, th* Ten Commandment*.

Mr. Damoth has been employed at the carpenter trade in the Furniture City and ex­ pects to resume work at that place thisfnll. The hill one-half mile south of Irv­ ing station is becoming more Ann and in a better and more passable condi­ tion since the road bed was gravel­ ed. As the earth becomes more firm­ ly packed down the hili will be much more easily passed over. In regard to the trunk line of state reward road that is to pass from Grand Rapids to Battle Creek, we can say that our village is on the map •Ince the road will pass through Mid­ dleville. thence on to Irvlug and then through Hastings. Borne few days ago the roads, two In number, from Middleville to Irving were carefully measured by a surveyor, and we un­ derstand that the state reward road ■will follow what is known as the river road In Its course and as It Is now laid out from Middleville to Irving. The Sunday school picnic of the M. E. Sunday school was a rousing suc­ cess in every particular. Tbe picnic was held Friday and was well attend­ ed. A sumptuous dinner was served in the grove north of the village to about one hundred, who did the viands ample justice and ate with a relish that would cause the eyes of a dyspeptic to shed tears of deepest re­ gret Some of the older ones indulged in contests of skill and one of the main features was a closely contested game of quoits between Omer Shaw and W. A. Kent with honors falling to the first named gentleman. All took their way homeward, feeling that the day had been most enjoyably passed, and that when another picnic was to be held that that grove was an Ideal spot In which to observe the occasion. Not a few from this vicinity attend­ ed the settlers and pioneers picnic at. Campau lake Thursday. In fact we thing aa large a gathering of picnick­ ers was in evidence at Campau lake os was to be found at the farmers' picnic at Gun lake the week preceding. Tbe main feature of the day was the speech making of tbe afternoon which took place before the ball game and soon after the picnic dinner baskets had been stowed away. The presi­ dent of the society, E. J. McNaughton of Middleville, Introduced the speak­ ers for the day, after prayer had been offered. Hon. W. W. Potter of Hast­ ings gave a fine address to the rem­ nant of tbe pioneers wbo were pres­ ent as well as holding up a message of good cheer to the descendants of those early settlers. He also took oc­ casion to flay, in an unmerciful man­ ner, all the demagogues wbo go about the land attempting to foist some new and untried social or political scheme upon the* people. He spoke at length also upon individuality and the great achievements that had been made in the past under the system of individ­ ual initiative and honest effort. After Mr. Potter, Mayor George Ellis ot Grand Rapids was introduced and spoke at some length and with much interest' upon some phases of the farm and city life that are mutual. He showed wherein it Is to the best in­ terest of not only the rural dweller but of those living in tbe urban dis­ tricts to pull together and meet to­ gether since ninety per cent of all city people come from the agricultural dis­ tricts. Then he took up the question of pure milk which he explained In a satisfactory manner, his explanation of course dealing with the stand taken by tbe city of Grand Rapids in regard to the inspection of the milk by the city authorities and bow such inspec­ tion was made only as a matter for public safety and not for discrimina­ tion^ His talk was very Interesting and was followed In turn by Rice Rec­ ord of Caledonia, who made a short speech when called upon to do so. It may be interesting to know that the name of Campau lake came to be so called from Ed. Campau. a son-in-law ot Yankee Bill Lewis, tbe quondam genial host of tbe Mansion House of Yankee Springs, and Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Campau resided for many years on the north shore of Campau lake. Ed. Campau was a son of Lewis Campau. after whom Campau park at Grand Rapids was named and history says that when Yankee Bill came back af­ ter having been away from home for some time and finding that bls family had been increased by the addition of a •on-in-law, during his absence one of his daughters having taken a hus­ band, that Yankee Bill was highly in­ dignant Mr. and Mrs. Ed Campau lived for yean by this beautiful body of water and their son, Frank Cam­ pau, kept a store tor many years at Alaska. And we learn that when Yan­ kee Bill passed away that according to his request his remains were first Interred on the hill overlooking the little valley in Yankee Springs which had seen so many happy days for the man during the time of his life. The hill was just south of the famous tav­ ern and the grave was surrounded by a picket fence. Later his remains were laid at rest in the Yankee Springs burying ground and from there again removed to Alaska to re­ pose beside the remains of his wife, Mary Goodwin Lewis. And there is where lies at rest today the remains of the first white settlers of Yankee Springs township? Mn. Wm. Chubb and children. Ce­ celia, Jay and Eldon, of Kalamazoo, visited at I. M. Chubb's of Yankee Springs last week. They returned to their home tbe latter part of the week. i Irving Betts of Northwest Thornap­ ple township was In the village of Irv­ ing Saturday making arrangements to occupy the Albion college fnrm, for many years the home of the Into L. S. Hills. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Betts will be gratified to learn that the family are soon to become residents of thia village. The Lampson brothers employed Charles Baker of Middleville to put down a well for them at their home In the village. We received word from S. R. Chainben. now a resident, of Carona, Cali­ fornia. some few days ago. We note that Mr. Chambers is enjoying good health in the land noted for oranges and other citrus products as well as ostrich farms and frog ranches. He has promised to return to this vllllge in the near future to greet bis old friends and neighbors once more. Many changes have taken place In and around the village since he left here four years ago last spring. The Irving mllla are again open for business. This statement means that the mills here In Irving are to be used for general milling purposes, the firm of Frank Childs A Co. being now in active control. Mr. Childs Is a miller who needs no introduction to the ma­ jority of the people of this locality. He has been engaged for many years In tbe active management ot the Free­ port mllla and has besides been an employe in the roller mills nt Middle­ ville, so that be has a wide range of acquaintanceship with the farmers and stock feeders of Barry and Kent counties. Going farther than tliat we will say that his dealing has been sat­ isfactory in the past so that we have no hesitancy tn making the statement that the mills will be run in a man­ ner that will draw custom to this place for miles around.

WOLVES CIRCLE THE COUPLE NEW WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS Plan Paris Has Adopted Regarded as an Important Medical Revolu­ tion In Hygiene. Paris.—All the physicians of France agree that the recent decree regarding tuburculusis is a revolution In hygiene. In their enthusiasm they Bay it la for public health what the revolution of 1789 was for politics. The Academy of Medicine has de­ creed that a declaration of tubereutosls should be obligatory; that it should Impose an obligation ot help for the sufferer and hie family. It takes the stand that the public good demands this declaration. This declaration must be made to a special medical officer, wbo will be bound to secrecy, and impress upon the authorities an obligation to help the sick and tbelr families. It is noted that professional sec­ recy is safeguarded. Hitherto physi­ cians have held back through tear tbat their beloved professional secrecy might be violated. The declaration has no element of annoyance either for the 111 or tor the physicians. So tar from being made* outcasts, those afflicted and tbelr fam­ ilies must be helped from the publie puree. It Is distinctly stated that to this they have a right The leaders In this great movement are Dr. Roux, director ot tbe Pasteur Institute, and Dr. Letelle, chief of the permanent commission on tuberculo­ sis. Dr. Roux has been connected In va­ rious capacities with tbe Pasteur In­ stitute for the last 35 years. He be­ gan in a very humble capacity, and has worked bis way up until nine years ago he became head of that fa­ mous Institution. He is the author ot many Learned works, and has the repu­ tation of being the most hard-working physician in Paris.

One bright spring morning tn 1898 something of a furore waa created among the peaeeuger* on the Uttle river steamer that plied between Nor­ folk and Richmond when they learned the identity of three distinguished personages aboard. They were trav­ eling incog., bet some one recognised them as the count of Paris, hto ton, the duke of Orleans, and his nephew, Prince Henry of Orleans. Tbe elder had come over to revisit battlefields along and near James river, where he had figured in 1862, when on the staff, with bis brother, of General McClellan of the Union army. The count was revising his book on the Civil war and desired a fresh view of locale and atmosphere. They had visited Yorktown and Wil­ liamsburg, in which battle* be had taken part, and the itinerary was to take them to Gaines’ Mills and Fair Oaks, where he had fought gallantly. His son and his nephew were hand­ some, dashing young fellows, who had Duke of Orisons. aaee service and hunted tigers tn In«a. The old count pointed out and expatiated on interesting place* along th* historic route, scenes of notable engagement* in which he bad figured thirty years before, and became so ab­ sorbed in the memories that he did not discover tbe keener Interest mani­ fested by the young noblemen in two pretty sisters of Richmond, one a blonde and the other a brunette, viva­ cious and fond of admiration. Misses Ophelia and Louise Bulling­ ton betrayed sufficient Interest to em­ bolden young Evan Chesterman, a fea­ ture writer for the Richmond Dis­ patch, to offer to Introduce them. Not Jut then, though; the old count wm watching tbe youngsters with rigorous solicitude.

Before the boat reached Richmond, however, plana were arranged by Cbeetermaa far the party to call o* th* girls at their home that evening.

When the party returned at mid­ night the count awoke to learn the truth and things were blue around the hotel. Catching them sneaking into their rooms, he thundered hla censure and threatened to disinherit the duke for so far forgetting himself m to visit strange women out of his station and start gossip. "Picture tbe horrid American news­ papers out with your escapades in ghastly headlines!" he growled. “Ugh! I’m most shocked and mortified. And you. sir, heir and bead of tbe great bouse of Bourbon! Let ns prepare to leave this damnable place by first train.” Comte de Paris, with the duke and the prince, caught the 3:00 a m. expreaa for Washington. Luckily for the former, he did not even see the cautiously doctored story of tbe esca­ pade. Soon they sailed for Europe. A year later the count of Paris died and tbe duke of Orleans became the bead of the bouse of Bourbon and claimant of the throne. Grasshoppers Stall Train.

"Better Babies” Is the most populai movement of the day, not from a “faddy” standpoint, but from a sens­ ible point of view. Thia movement is the outgrowth of sensible, scientific and honest health contests, In place of the old-fashioned beauty shows tbat have heretofore been held. At these new contests correct proportion, line human mechanism and intelligence, not dimples and curling locks, win prises, and put on tbelr mettle parents whose children do not win a prize. You cannot make a homely baby over into a cherub, but you can make a del­ icate child strong and bright, and that la just what we intend to do for the babies of our county. In the Eaton County Fair contest under the management ot the Eaton County Pomona Grange there will be four divisions as follows: DIVISION A. Open to babies whose parents are residents of Eston or adjoining county. Class 1. Boys 6 months aad under IB months. Class II. Girls 6 months aad under 18 months. DIVISION B. Open to babies whose parents are residents of Eaton or adjoining county. Class 1. Boys 18 monthr old and tinder 3 years. Class II. Girls 18 months old and under 3 years. Entries can bo made at any time previous to the fair by applying to any member of the committee, or ut Grange Headquarter* Tent oa tbe Fair Grounds, October 1, t or S. Tbe Eaten County Fair has always been In tbe front rank la promoting new ideas and new view­ points ot old ideas; and while the babies entered in the Better Babies Contest this year .will he scored upon their physical development, their men tai development will also carry weight in the final score. The Pomona Grange ha* interested several local physicians in the contest and hope to secure an eminent special­ ist to assist. The particulars of the contest can be bad from any membe: of the committee of the Pomona Grange whose names are given else­ where, or the Secretary of the Eaton County Fair, Mr. Vaughan G. Griffith of Charlotte, will be glad to inform you of the proper person in your dis trict. Do not forget that entries may also be made on the fair grounds, Oct. 1, 3 and I , If You Love Your Baby, and of course you do, then you will enter it in tbe Better Babies Contest at the Eaton County Fair, Oct. 1, 2 and 3, to determine what it is worth, ia Inches, pounds and power. This Contest is a scientific examina­ tion and test to determine not only the baby's good points, but Its weak oaes m well Enter your baby and find out WHY. if your baby is not perfect. The doc­ tors and good women of tbe Eaton County Pomona Grange who are Inter­ ested in the work will be able to tell you, by means of tbe Better Babies Standard Score Card, first gotten out by the Woman’s Home Companion under which your baby will ba weighed, measured and tested. The contest consists of testing babies for physical and mental development, ac­ cording to standards set by physicians who make a specialty of children’s diMases. The scoring is done pre cleely as at a live stock show, for points, and a physical defect counts against the child, no matter bow lovely of face It may be. Children scoring the highest are awarded prises, and children falling to qualify for prizes are given a thorough examination, and their parents are told how to bring them up to the standard by means of diet, hygienic babtts, simple medics 1 care, etc. Keep th* Dates In Mind, October 1, 2 and 3. During tbe prog­ ress of tbe Better Babies Contest which will be held on the Eaton Coun­ ty fair grounds at tbe GRANGE HEADQUARTERS TENT, and require part of three days, will be held lec tures and demonstrations on pure milk and food with the proper preparation of artificial foods for babies which we believe will be of inestimable value for the betterment and comfort ot the Uttle ones. We are glad to announce that many parents have shown a great interest in this movement and that already several entries have been made. Suit able prises will be awarded and sou­ venirs will be provided for each baby, and parents whose children do Dot win tbe first prise will have the bene­ fit of the lectures and experience and will be able, by Judicious care and feeding, to have their babies in the prize winning class at the next con test The executive committee of Eaton County Pomona Grange, consisting ot Frank Hay, of Vermontville; Keith Otto, Oneida, and F.

[SIX HOW MONEY CAN BE MADE WITH POULTRY BREED POULTRY FOR RESULTS Difficulty In Mating Unrelated Birds Is to Find Strains With Like Characteristics. "Few people realize the advan­ tages of breeding together unrelated birds. Every time they nre mated a decided improvement is had in their young, io exhibition and utility qual­ ities, size and extreme hardiness.” The above statement wns made by E. R. Philo of New York, a man who has done much experimenting along the line of breeding. Line breeding is dangerous unless thoroughly understood, and tbs work of years can be demolished in a very short time. As above stated. A String of White Wyandotte^ <By KATHERINE ATHERTON ORIMEfl.) Poople who go U> the market to boy •Oa or poultry alwaya want tbe beat they can get. And the only way they can tell la by tbe looks. So It you want to get good prices for your poul­ try products, you must make them look slos. At thia time of year your moot im­ portant product will be your egg*. The boy with only a tow bens will hardly be able to do any shipping on his own account, but must depend on hla home market. There are, however, several ways In which he can get a Uttle more than market prices tor his egg« . One way Is to arrange with your home dealer to furnish him strictly fresh eggs, graded and guaranteed, tor his finest class of trade. Any grocer likes to get eggs that he knows be can recommend, and is wilting to pay a good price for the same. As many town customers buy their eggs just a dosen at a time, tt adds to tbe attractiveness and salability of your goods if they are put up in neat ear* tons holding just that number. Of course your eggs must be clean. If your bens are of several kinds, you are likely to get eggs that are not uni­ form in color. Sort them so as to put each color by itself. If you have never tried this plan, you have no Idea bow much nicer your eggs will look, and anything that adds to tbelr appearance helps your price. Not long ago tbe following little •very-day occurrence was noted In a grocery where many eggs were being brought in. A great bucketful had been offered for sale, and the clerk was busy counting them out. They Were like Joseph's coat, of “many colare,- but it is to be hoped his coat was not like them in being stained and dirty. “Anything with a shell on passes for an egg with some folks." grumbled the disgusted clerk, as he gingerly fished out two or three specimens that were most Indisputable “old,” and laid them carefully to one side. "It these old things didn’t come out of a last year's ben's nest I'll miss my guess." At last he finished his counting, and returned to the counter to settle with their owner. "Twelve cents is the best we can do on that grade of eggs." be said. “We're overloaded with them now.” “I thought you were paying more than that,” protested the woman who bad brought them in. “I had to lay out over two dosen that were cracked, or otherwise unsal­ able,'’ replied tbe grocer. "If you had sorted your eggs 1 might have done better for you." Ot course she did not like it, but whose fault was It if she could not get the highest market price? A little later another lot was brought in. There were two boxes of them, in each of which were twelve cartons, holding a dosen eggs each. One box was full of white-shelled eggs, clean as pearls, uniform In sixe, nnd packed with the small end down. The other held brown-shelled eggs, some cartons being light brown, and others dark brown. The clerk smiled as he lifted them out. "Eighteen cents a dosen. and glad to get them. Orders waiting for theta right now. Jim, go and 'phone to Mn. Grant and Mra. East that we've got thoee eggs they want." And that is the difference. When tbe grocer knows what he can depend on. he is willing to pay for ft He does not have to hunt a market for bls best eggs, any more than you do. Another good way is to sell your eggs directly to individual customers, thus making the middleman’s proflt, too. There are many people who are willing to pay from five to ten cents a doxen more than the regular mar­ ket price for eggs that they know will be fresh and good. A very good plan is to mark each carton with your name, the date the eggs were gather­ ed, and the words "quality guaran­ teed." It does not take long to work up a fancy trade in this way. but of course it takes a little more time than to sell direct to the grocery. ESSENTIAL PART PREDICTIONS OF IN TOMATO CARE RAINYWE^THER Pruning Vines Is Most Conven­ Horse, Neigh, Cattle Low, Pea­ ient Way to Secure Stronger cocks Scream, and Ducks and Vine and Stalk. Geese Are Noisy. (By J. 3. CABBY.! The tomato Is raised in this country almost entirely for shipping purposes. They are dedicated as a food for all classes of people, the laboring classes especially, who buy them of tbq mar­ keters. I find the tomato easily grown, but I also find they must be cared for in the proper way and manner. One of the most essential parts in the culture and production of the tomato ia the pruning of the tomato vines In the most convenient way and manner, to aid tn a stronger vine or stalk, and to give growth to a larger crop of to­ matoes which, without doubt, will jive to the grower the premium much above his work. * Tf the pruning is not done, the plant will prow slender, tail, and have an ugly shape, and when the crop of to­ matoes get to a very great site the plant will bear down to the ground and the tomatoes will rot. Another thing is if the tomatoes set well on the unpruned plant they will not get to any size, for there Is too much of the leaves and stalk to sup­ port. The first pruning is to take place as soon as the plants take a start to grow after they have been set In tbe six-inch cold frame. The plants should be about eight Inches high, and only the top pinched off. Next. In a da\ or two. pinch the tops off of the second to the bottom suckers, and ao on un­ til the whole plant is gone over, wait­ ing a day or two between each prun­ ing of the suckers. About every two weeks the tops of the stalks should be pinched out. thus causing the stalk to become greater in diameter, which; aids in the supporting of the heavy load of tomatoes. Tt is good to prune once after setting in tbe field­ (By A. V. MEERBCH.) It Is well known that animals and fowls give notice of the approach ot ratay weather by their peculiar ac­ tions. Dogs aad cats are less ener­ getic and show an unusual disposition to sleep. Sheep crowd together In a shelter place. Horses neigh, cattle' tow. peacocks scream, guinea fowls •quail, and ducks and geese are more noisy than usual. All this is due to the decreased sup­ ply of oxygen tn tbe air and to the depressing effect of damp air on their nerves. It gives them some difficulty in breathing and makes them listless and uneasy. Another sign of rain is seen when a cat rubs her ears and sometimes ev­ ery part of her coat that she can reach. This is due in part to the dampness of the air, which penetrates the hair and makes the skin itch, but is chiefly due. perhaps, to tbe air be­ ing heavily charged with electricity. The hair of the cat becomes heavily charged, too, and she rubs it tc mako it smooth, and to brush away the peculiar sensation electricity causes. Perhaps you have noticed that the leaves of the dandelion and clover fold up and go to sleep, so to speak, when the rain Is near. As these plants never open their leaves without tbs stimulating Influence of sunshine, the cloudy sky puts them to sleep. An­ other reason for the change Is the ex­ pansion of the air vessels of the plants, due to the damp air which causes the leaves to contract and close, just as paper curls when one side of it Is moistened.

This Is tbe time of great events and Frias Winning Plymouth Reck. ths progeny of unrelated fowls Is thrifty and high In utility, points which every breeder strives for. Tbe greatest handicap In mating unrelated birds Is to find strains with like characteristics. When rearing a strain of Rocks for egg production It is sometimes hard to find a suit­ able male, bred tor the same results as the bens he 1b to be mated with. Many breeders have distinct linea of birds, bred for the same results, but wholly disconnected along blood lines. In this way they can furnish tbelr patrons new blood whenever desired. Many a good strain is run down or ruined because of lack of experience of the breeder. One must know how and why the breed to obtain best roocsss. A good pen of layers should not be mated with a mate or onknown heredity.

' 2— You can examine your purchases tn the home stores and be assured of satisfaction before investing your money. 3— Your home merchants are Etlways ready and willing to make right any error or any defective article purchased. 4—Your home merchants help support, through direct and in­ direct taxation, your schools, churches and other public insti­ tutions. 5— Your home merchants help make a good local market for everything you have to sell, and that market—more than any other factor—gives your land its present value. 6— Your home merchants are your good friends, ever ready to extend a helping hand In time of need. 7— If this community is good enough for you to live in and make your money in. it is good enough to spend it In. 8— The best citizens in this community are those who believe Id and practice home patronage. Be one of the best. »—The merchants in the distant city give you nothing valuable that tbe home merchants cannot give you—and the former can­ not and will not do for you many things the latter do gladly. 10—Every dollar kept Ln circulation in this community helps increase property values. Every dollar sent out of this com­ munity that could m well be spent here hinders the wheels of progress and helps build up some other community at your expense.

On the road to Pere Lachatae ceme­ tery, it is said, business deals and stock contracts are arranged, move­ ments on the stock exchange decided, political groups formed and even min­ isters appointed.

The following proposition has been wade to rural echool districts. by the state department of public -Instruc­ tion showing bow the country schools can acquire the honor of being “Standard Schools.” Evidently some of the districts of Barry county could not comply with the conditions, with­ out making great Improvements In buildings, grounds, etc. There are some, however, that could easily meet these conditions at once, and It Is to be hoped that all will try to become eligible to the honor of being classed as a "Standard School,” in the near future. The circular from State Supt. Wright Is ns follows: The state of Michigan has a com­ pulsory attendance law which re­ quires every child between the ages of seven and sixteen to attend schoo‘ every day during the time that school Is taught in the district. The state, however, has no control over a dis­ trict In the matter of school plants. Most of the country school buildings are very faulty in matters of heat, light, ventilation and sanitation. It would seem only fair that Inasmuch as the state compels every child to go to school that he should have reasonably decent quarters. The purpose of this note is to tell you of a plan to create a standard school. If every school board In Michigan will so arrange Its plants that they will conform to the specifications hereinafter described the Superinten­ dent of Public Instruction will desig­ nate the school as a standard school. He will, with the county commis­ sioner, Inspect tbe plant and If the plant fulfills our requirements he will put on the front of the building a metal tablet that can be seen by nil who pass. This tablet will bear the words ‘STANDARD SCHOOL.” He will also give to the school a framed diploma to be hung Inside the build­ ing which states that this particular school has been awarded the dis­ tinguished honor of being put in the standard school class, this distinc­ tion to be taken away if the school falls below the requirements. The requirements for the standard schou* are as follows: Yard and Oatbailding*. HASTINGS. MICH., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,1913. home.

A good teacher Is vital but she must have proper equipment in order to do effective work and a wellselected school library is one of the most Important essentials. Yours sincerely. L. L.

A most distressing accident occurred tn North Woodland Jate Saturday af­ ternoon. when Frand Jordan and wife, living two miles north of Woodland village, was on his way to Lake Odessa. The family 'had planned to have company on Sunday aud were going to town to do some trading. Jordan hitched a colt by the side of one of his regular team, the colt hav­ ing been driven many times before. When but a few rods from the home, he discovered he had put the wrong bridle on the colt, and stopping the team in ihe road, proceeded to change the bridles. When he had both off-the horses, the c'olt looked around and saw Mrs. Jordan's parasol, and be­ came frightened and made a Jump, which carried Jordan off his feet and the team began to run. He held to them until he was badly trampled and hurt, nnd the team entirely with­ out control ran down the road. Mrs. Jordan either jumped or was thrown out about twenty rods further on, striking on her head by the side of the road, where a small bank had been left In the grading. One side of her skull was crushed and her neck was broken. She died almost Instantly. Mr. Jordan was carried to his home unconscious and Dr. McIn­ tyre of Woodland village, was soon at his side. He was supposed to be fa­ tally hurt but has rallied and may re­ cover. Mrs. Jordan, leaves two children by a former marriage. The funeral of Mrs. Jordan was held Tuesday, attended by a large concourse of neighbors and friends. WDI Track AfricaNare.

Exhibits Speed Trial* aad Amir* hieat Features All of tbe Very Best. When the golden-hued September Tells us we have time to spare, Well just yoke up Buck and Brindle And whoa-haw-gee to the Fair. As the opening day of the Barry county Blue Ribbon fair draw* near our country cousin la putting the final polish on the rosy cheeked ap­ ple and peach, the last ear of corn is being urged upon the grunting porker and the patent stock who, with hides stretched to tbe tightness of a drum head, wonder what it’s all about while the bouse wives lie awake far into the night to plan the contents of the mammoth lunch basket and the children fret with impatience and an­ ticipation. In the meanwhile Presi­ dent Harper and Secretary Schantz wjtn their assistants are putting in twenty-five hours a day adding the finishing touches to the county fair. And the Blue Ribbon fair is in every sense a county fair and a Barry coun­ ty fair at that All exhibits of stock, fruits, etc., are Barry county prod­ ucts and the fair Is to be conducted along the lines of a mammoth home coming and reunion of Barry county residents. We will take our squash and chickens. And our bed-qullta, and our pig. And O. how they'll say “the dickens!” When they see us dance a Jig. The exhibits slong all lines promise to excel any showing made In year^. The “squash -and chickens” and the “bed-quilts and pigs” will all be here and with the generous premiums otferred and the efficient judges who will act, interest is bound to bo aroused in these departments. Jud Palmer, of Orleans, Ionia coun­ ty, who had charge of the horse de­ partment at Grand Rapids lost week, will judge horses at the fair this year. Mr. Palmer has been secretary of the Michigan Horse Breeders association and Is thoroughly competent to Judge. Frank R. Crandall, of Howell, con­ sidered the best Judge of dairy cat­ tle in the state, will judge on th-; dairy department. The man who is to judge the beef breeds, knows a “beef critter" from end to end, and will do his work well. Prof. Linton of M. A. C., superintendent of the poultry department there, will judge the poultry. The management aims to make thin fair a means of education to those who want to learn. We will hook to Jane "Mariar," And we’ll look so awful sweet, As we listen to the "liar," Tell of things that can’t be beat. Tbe clear eyed country maiden and her “steady" and everyone else who enjoys clean amusement will be en­ tertained and amused by the midway. The largest horse In the world will be here and the smallest horse, to say nothing of the wonderful trained horse with his almost human Intelli­ gence. There will be a merry-goround. a Ferris wheel and, In fact, everything that goes to make up a noisy, happy midway. Then there are the free attractions. Two flights of the big aeroplane daily and many other features which will entertain the crowds without extra charge. One feature worthy of mention is the fact that each and every amusement attraction is con­ ducted along'clean, moral lines. No suggestlveneBB or vulgarity will be countenanced. Then of course we'll view the butter, In we’ll stick our dirty thumb. With our mouth crammed full of candy, And our jaws stuck up with gum. Of course the candy man. the gum man, the pop corn man and every other man who makes it a business to overload the stomachs of crowds with sweet and sticky tid bits and pour gallons of red ”lemo" down their dusty throats, will all be on the job. The concessions, In every In­ stance. have been granted to men who are bound to take ample care of the crowds. The dinning hall will be In charge of one who has had fourteen years experience feeding crowds anti the public will be well served. We will poke the ribs of yearlings. Listen to the bleat of calves. Tumble over mamma's darlings. And get squeezed up Into halves. For the first time in the history of the Blue Ribbon fair “Mamma’s Darlings" will not attend simply ’o wail for toy balloons nnd to be "tumbled over” but will take their place along with the squoeky wind mill, the gasping gasoline engine and the patent gate as a really nnd truly exhibit. The Better Babies contest promises to be one of the most inter­ esting features of the exposition. Barry’s best babies are to be divided into two divisions "A” and “B,” the first division to be open only to babies from rural districts nnd towns of one thousand population or less, and the second division to babies from towns of over one thousand population. There will be two classes in each di­ vision consisting of babies six months and under twenty-four months of age and those twenty-four months and under thirty-six months of age. The Judging of the first di­ vision will commence on Wednesday of the fair at ten o'clock a. m. and of the second division on Thursday nt the same hour. There will be speed contests on the race track on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with some of the fastest horses in the country entered and 11500 in purses. Three bands have been engaged to furnish music for tho occasion. Taken all-in-all, Barry* county’s Blue Ribbon fair will out distance any attraction of the kind ever held in Hastings and will deserve tbe large attendance and unlimited suc­ cess which It is bound to meet with. When at last tbe fair Is over. We will “gobble” all we can, Then go home to live in clover. Like some jolly Granger-man. HUB IMS 1000 IM HARDEST LABOR THEY DID ON LABOR DAT WAS TO EAT GOOD DINNER. Secretary Bash Gives laterestlag Acraaat of What Was Doae aad SaM aa This Oeeasfoa. The rural letter carriers with their wives held a very enthusiastic meet­ ing at the pretty lakeside resort at Acker/Point on Labor Day and veri­ fied the saying (slightly modified) that "A day of fun now and then Is enjoyed by the best of men” and wo­ men too. As this was not their regu­ lar annual meeting not so much at­ tention was paid to business, relaxa­ tion from the monotony of their dally toll being the object, yet some goo:l work was done looking towards better roads by appointing a committee oi carriers to cooperate with the grange and kindred organizations having good roads ns an object In Barry county. Just now the roads In general are very bad. and no one realizes this or appre­ ciates good roads more than the rural carrier. Also realizing that very few of their patrons understood or appreciated the very low parcel post rates nnd the va­ rious articles of produce which might perhaps be marketed with profit by mail, n committee was named to have printed slips containing this Informa­ tion which might be distributed by the carriers to their numerous patrons. Not very much was said about salary’ but all seemed to feel that efficiency In their work was the main thing to be sought, and that our Uncle Samuel would see to it that the hard worked carriers were better paid. All were In good humor a» Just before the busi­ ness session, they had been treated to a bountiful chicken dinner which no cue evidently knows better bow to prepare than the genial proprietors of this very popular resort, Mr. and Mrs. Brubaker. After the business session at which all took part in a general discussion of such questions as Par­ cel post, C. O. D. and insured mail, automobiles, penny postage and the penny nuisance, betterment of our county, state and national organziatlons. The R. F. D. News, etc., our president, Isa Newton of Nashville, in well chosen words exhorted them al) to remain loyal to the association and If possible induce everyone of the forty carriers in Barry county to join and attend our next annual meeting nt Hastings, Feb. 22. Curriers were then free to go boat­ ing or engage In some of the various amusements afforded by the place. A ball game was soon started In which some brilliant plays were made nnd but for several errors on the part of some “outsiders" it was a very creditable game Indeed. John Mc­ Bain. our former president, was voted the star player, as he executed a very difficult catch and won the game. All too noon the time came to sepa■ rate and each went home to take naiiy trips around his little world feeling that the ties of comradeship hnd been drawn a little closer and perhaps something none to render his work a little lighter aud more agreeable.

The giving out of the Broadway bridge has brought the city face to face with an Important question. What kind of a bridge shall be bui*.t to replace the condemned structure? It is very necessary that this street, one of the leading thoroughfares leading into the city, be opened up again as soon ns possible. Quick action therefore is called for. • Mayor Osborn has called a citizen’s meeting for tomorrow evening. He asks the people to meet with the council nt that time and give to that body their opinions and express their wishes as to the kind of a bridge that should be built. There seem to be two propositions under advisement. One to build a new steel bridge; the other to bluld an arch of concrete. The former would probably last thir­ ty-five or forty years; the latter If properly built, would last forever. The former would cost less money, but in the long run the concrete structure would be the cheaper. It is to be hoped that the business men and citizens generally will ac­ cept this Invitation of the mayor. Go to the council room tomorrow night and help the council decide what will best meet the wishes of the city in re­ gard to a new bridge. Two Barns Burned. On Friday night two barns were destroyed by lire, one In Carlton and the other In Castleton township. Tbe origin of both fires is unexplained. On the Truman P. Barnum bern In Carlton the loss was 11,000. The estate Is being settled, as its owner is dead. The Insurance about covers tbe loss. The barn of John Gul on the north town line of Castleton was a total loss, of hay, grain, tools and one horse. The granary building very near the big barn, was also de­ stroyed. The loss totaling about $1,500. The Insurance In this case is being settled In the Woodland In­ surance company at $1,100. S. R. Katherman, of Woodland, the secretary of the company, was In the city Tuesday en route to Caledonia to adjust another loss of barn and other buildings, which burned Satur­ day night, the fire being a mystery. We believe it would be good policy for al! owners of buildings to refrain from smoking about the buildings In such dry weather, and as further precaution to Inspect said buildings before retiring, as tnunpg. are quite numerous in the rural sections at this time of the year. Got Tipped Out Saturday a near tragedy came to Mr. and Mrs. John Conlon, of Hast­ ings township, but fortunately no lives were lost. As the couple were coming to town on Saturday evening from tbelr home on Center road, a hog ran out of the bushes and gave a snort, that frightened the horse as well a« stirred the nerves of the oc­ cupants of the buggy. The borso reared and whirled around and spilled both out of the buggy, Mrs Conlon striking on her face, break­ ing the bridge of her nose and other­ wise bruising her; her husband alighted on his feet but be Jarred the earth as well as bla anatomy when he struck. He mixed with the horse and prevented a runaway. The couple returned home, a phy­ sician was called for Mrs. Conlon and though she Is still sore and lame from the mishap on the road to re­ covery. Mr. Conlon Is able to be about, but what he says about th«j hog is not printable. Pleasant Family GotberiwMr. and Mrs. A. J. Woodmansee with B. R. Stanton, wife and son Herman, of Dowling, motored to Green lake Sunday, to attend a family reunion held at the pleasant farm home of C. L. Stanton and wife. There were about forty in attend­ ance. At noon a picnic dinner was served on the spacious lawn, which was greatly enjoyed by all. The af­ ternoon was spent in visiting, sing­ ing old songs, and listening to recita­ tions. As the guests dispersed to their homes each family was given a basket of luscious grapes grown lu the hosts’ vineyard. Take Nattee! It is a fact, well known, that the bridge over the Thornapple river In this city has been condemned and that a new bridge must be installed. Inasmuch as every property owner In the city should be interested, the common council have asked that every good citizen meet with then on Friday evening, Sept. 12, at 7:30 o’clock at the city hall, that the mat­ ter may be discussed In detail and that they may have the benefit of the every good citizen meet with them on type of bridge to use.

FLINT. University Form. 8t. Paul. Minn.) Because of its cheapness the earth road is. and for many years to come will continue to be, tbe most common form of road in use in rural communi­ ties. The ever recurring problem of upkeep on such roads can. In a large measure, be solved by the use of tbe totalled split-log drag, which can be constructed as shown in the accom­ panying picture by any one who has suitable material at hand. A log is not necessary, or perhaps not desir­ able. for its construction. Choose four pieces of plank of some strong wood, such as elm or red fir, two Inches thick and eight feet long. Two of them should be ten or twelve inches In width, but the other two may bo narrower as shown in the picture, since they are simply bolted to ths backs of the wider planks for rein­ forcement. If planks three and a half or four inches thick can conveniently be obtained, a single thickness of them should be used, Instead of build­ ing up as shown in the cut. In any case, the drag can be put together * * * * * * * * ♦ * * * * * * * * * Variety will certainly be the spice of life in the fashion world this fall. While the Oriental idea will predominate, France, Russia, Scotland and Japan each will have a marked influence on the fall wardrobe. with round poles wedged into, auger boles as shown, or the crosspieces may be set in with mortise and tenon Joints and kept tight by long bolts marking through the front and back ptanka. A pises of Iron about three and nashstf feet long, three or four inches wide and oue-fou.'th of an inch thick should be used for a blade. By means of bolts with fiat, counter-sunk beads, this blade should be attached to the frost plank In such a manner that its edge will project a half-inch below the plank at the ditch end, while tbe end of the iron toward the middle of the road should be flush with tbe edge of the plank. If the face of the plank stands plumb It will be well to wedge out the bottom of the Iron with a wedgcrobaped piece of wood to give the iron a set similar to that of a plane bit A platform of inch boards cleated together, with cracks an Inch wide between the boards to prevent dirt from collecting on top, is placed on the cross-pieces of the drag to furnish a platform tar the driver. This plat­ form should rest upon the cross­ pieces between the planks without be­ ing fastened to the drag. It is not shown in the illustration. Any chain having the otrss^th of a truce chain may be used to draw the drag and should be attached as shown in tbe picture, but the proper posi­ tion for attaching the doubletrees must be determined by experiment and will vary with the kind of work done. The chain should be about nine foot long for a drag of the size shown in the cut and should have the eye for the clevis put In about three feet from the end. The chain attaches by means of an eyebolt, as shown In tbe picture, to the ditch or blade end of tbe drag. Tbe other end of tbe chain should finish with a grabbook for use tn adjusting the length of the hitch after the chain is passed around the cross piece at the road end of the .drag. Commonly the drag should follow the team at an angle of about fortylive degrses with their line of travel, to cause tbe dirt to move steadily and freely along tbe focss of tbe planks from the ditch toward tbs center of the road. In every case the angle at which the drag win travel can be governsd by the position of the hitch, which is changed within rsasoasbls limits by lengthening or shortening the chain, and by tbe position of the driver on the drag. A wry little ex­ perience will enable anyone to adjust thane things satisfactorily. To Gleen Plumage.

What do you think of the man whom you see driving a horse with his tall Socked to seven Inches, perfectly help­ less against the attack of flies during these hot days? There Is a great deal of humanity in axle grease. Have you ever noticed that the first thing your horse does when you turn him out of the stable in the morning la to go straight to the watering trough? The well-bred draft horse Is always In demand, and tbe farmer who breeds it constantly in the one who makes the most profit in horses. The patient mule is not much for speed, but he keeps going, and usually arrives on time. A mule never seems to bo really frightened at anything. When he runs away he does it through pure love of mischief. f A mule scents danger almost as unerringly as the elephant. Ever know a mule to step In a hole or venture upon an unsound bridge of bis own volition? No white man can ever get on as good terms with a mule as the negro can. The average mule will do as much work at two years old as the horse will at three or four. Never tie a mule up In a stall over­ night. Tbe open field for him always. Some English farmers are paying as high as |400 per pair for American mules to send to the Argentine Re­ public. Contrary to the general belief. It does not hurt a horse to give him water in moderate quantities even when be is very hot, providing the water is not very cold. Never salt tbe horse's feed in the box. Place a big lump where he can reach It and he will take it when be needs it The long halter strap In the stall has been the cause of permanent ln*try to many animals. A "cheap" harness is really about the most expensive thing on the farm, as it sometimes costa life. VALUE OF POTATO CAUSE OF GAPES TO FATTEN PIGS IN THE POULTRY. To Eradicate OitMM BM* M- Expert at Eastern Oregon Ex­ fected Should Be IsoteM periment Station Gives Re­ and Treated. sults at Test (By H. L» KKMP8TKR ot Missouri Sta­ tion.) | Gapes is a disease affecting certain birds, fowls, and particularly chicks one to four weeks old. It is caused by a small worm, called the gape worm, which attaches Itself to the windpipe of its victim. The symptoms are frequent gaping, sasexing, a whistling cough, with discharge of mucns and worms, dumpIshMss, weakneas and drooping of wings. Dead birds will show forked worms attached to the windpipe. The adult female gape worm is much larger than the male, her body being filled with eggs and embryos. Those embryos appear in tbe droppings or are coughed up. So the trouble it spread by contamination of runs, feed and drinking water, ■mbryos are often found in earth­ worms. To eradicate the disease, Isolate af­ fected birds, treat drinking water with potassium permangnate; burn dead birds, and remove chicks to fresh ground which la not infected. Cultivation ot infected ground is said to eradicate the worms in three years. Individual cases may be treated in one of three ways: By confining the ehick for a short time tn a box which has atrslaked lime on the floor. The lime is said to caase the worm to release Its grip, and the chick to aneeeo it out. Stripping a feather, leaving a small taft, moistening with terpentine and introducing into the windpipe, care betag taken not to lacerate the windptpe or suffocate the chick. ' • | . I ' ' i i ! i ' ' ; i ' j ' i ! Two horse hairs tied together, the ' knot trimmed, run down the chick-, en's throat, and removing in a twist­ ing manner, will also remove the worms. Gape worm extractors are also on tbe market. TUBEROSES ARE NOT DIFFICULT TO GROW Good, Rich Soil l( Neceooary for Thou Handsome Flowers— They Sell Wei. These aandsome stalk flowers are easily grown.

(By ROBERT W1THTCOMB of Kastwn Oregon Experiment Btatloa.) An experiment to test tbe feeding value of raw or steamed potatoes as supplementary feed with a grain ra­ tion has been carried on with inter­ esting results. The hogs in the experiment were di­ vided into eight lots and records of the different feed given each and the proportionate gains made were kept carefully. Each bog In lota 1 and 2 ate an average of 170.18 pounds of barley and 509.53 pounds of raw po­ tatoes, making a gain in weight of 60.70 pounds. Those In lots 3 and 4 ate 110.39 pounds of barley and 663.75 pounds steamed potatoes, and made a gain of 70.60 pounds, while those in lota 5 and 6 ate 188.60 pounds barley and 564.80 pounds steamed potatoes and made a gain of 78.10 pounds. Lota 7 and 8 ate 300.10 pounds barley without potatoes and made a gain of 69.5 pounds. Tbe last two lota, fed barley alone, were used as a chock on tbe others to show more definitely the proportion­ ate value of the potatoes. At the present market value ot 7 cents • pound live weight, the hogs fed barley made a 83.87 gate, which makes the barley feeding va)ae 81.62 to the hun­ dred. Leto 1 and 2 fed barley and raw potatoes at the rate of three pounds of potatoes to a pound of barley, made a 84-25 gate, which gives the raw potatoes a feeding value of 29 cento to the hundred. IzX* 1 and 4 receiv­ ing six times as much steamed pota­ toes as barley, made a 84.94 gain, giving the steamed potatoes a feeding value ot 47 cento to the hundred. Lots 5 and 8 fed three times as much steamed potatoes as barley, made a 88 47 gain, making tbe feeding value of the potatoes 42 cents to ths hun­ dred. It is noticeable that those fed six times as much potatoes as grain did not make quite the gain made by the MethodlM Eplseapai Chxreh. others, but it required 85.25 pounds less barley to make this gain, so the Sunday will be the last of the con­ difference In feeding value la ac­ ference year.

BASEBALL HASTINGS II.iS THE EDGE THus TvfKday anil Wednesday Game With Grand Haves. With rd! In the box and his team backing him in the field the home team put up a far different class of ball playing over that of last Friday. The feature of the game was Fulton’s throw to the plate from center field, catching Hines. Score: RHE Hasting#1 110 0 12 1 •—7 9 2 Grand Haven. .0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0—1 6 5 Line Drives. Fulton opened the third with a home run to left center. It was a terrific bingle. Shaw shows up well at second for Grand Hdven. He fields the position well at all times. Hines hit the first ball pitched in the first to Maltby. The tall boy’s error gave him life. M. Eck walked in the sixth, stole second, then third and camo In when the catcher threw past third. Bell did not pass a man until he walked Hines in the eighth. Hale is­ sued five free transportations. Umpire Mee’s work was excellent and the game was entirely without jangling. Some contrast to the Grand Haven contests. Fulton, a Kalamazoo 3. M. league pitcher, was in center for Hastings. His fielding and stick work was a feature of the game. Footer drove a clean three-bagger to left In tlie seventh with Ham and Fulton on. This was the only inning In which Hastings scored more than one run. Dad Hale lacked a lot of the stuff. he had on Friday but he was there at 411 times with his original comedy. Hale Is popular with the fans who pick him as a regular sportsman. Fulton's throw from center to catch Hines at tbe plate on McNut’a sacrifice fly was a peach. The ball came in on a line and Foster did not have to move off the plate. He tagged Jimmie with some two feet to spare. Grand Harens' only run came in the eighth. Hale went out to Maltby. Hines walked and Jewell grounded out to Bell. McNutt raised a short fly over short which M. Eck and Stebbins balled up, bringing Hines In. Layden ended the inning with a red hot drive to Bell. Bell was working at a disadvantage.

Put yourself in the placo of your victims. Consider the possi­ bility of doing permanent injury to some one by vaFrying such pranks too far. Many cases have been known where linzlng of this sort has resulted very seriously. Anyway, Is it true sport to humiliate and ridi­ cule, or misuse any body, especially for a crowd to take advantage of one or two? Is it anything that you can be proud of, if fifteen or twenty of you set upon one Individual and scare him, or compel him to do ridiculous things. We do not believe these boys will continue such pranks any longer, If they will only stop to realize that they are doing dishonorable and cowardly, ns well as unlawful things when they are Indulging In this kind of amusement. Either they should drop these things of their own ac­ cord, as we hope they will, or teach­ ers, parents and officers should take steps to compel Lliem to stop them. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. B. A.

The best of material wns used The preportions of the room arc such in all the construction in an effort to make the building as durable as possible. Tbe lighting system is one of the most attractive features. Formerly the position ot the windows in a school building was not considered of ver)* great Importance only In bo far that plenty of light was provided. Today such buildings are lighted on a scientific basis and this has been done in tbe construction of the new building. The light enters the rooms on the left side of the student which is n benefit both to him nnd to the instructor. The window space Is ample for a perfect diffusion of light throughout the room. Light enteis the main assembly room through sky­ lights. The construction of the corridors and the stairways is of re-inforced concrete. The corridors are of suffi­ cient width to allow the passing of classes to be made with little disturb­ ance. They as well as the entire floor space of the building are laid with hardwood. The matter of stairways was of such importance that consid­ erable time was spent in deciding what would be the most healthful and practical stair. A stair of slight­ ly less than the average height was built using a concrete as a filler cap­ ped with a slate header. The evil effects of climbing and re-clitnbing stairs are thus eliminated. A systematic arrangement of toilet rooms is found on every floor of the building. Drinking fountains arc placed In the corridors and cool wa­ ter coming from a mineral well which supplies both ward and high school building is constantly flowing. The entire building is piped for n vacuum cleaner outfit. Fire escapes provide exits from each wing of the building and with a direct passage from the assembly room to the west entrance and the nrnplo water protection safety is secured. The roof is constructed of four ply tin with a heavy gravel coating. A water shed Is piped di­ rectly to the sewerage system with nu overflew attachment. These are a few of the attractive features found in the construction of the building which add to lhe enjoyment of the oc­ cupants. Coke is cheaper to use and easier to handle.

Every-day dressiness, week in and week out, depends mostly on last­ ing shape in your clothes. Shape is as much a part of Clothcraft Clothes as the cloth itself. It’s sewed and held in every stitch— it's tailored in to stay. It does not depend on press­ ing. Pressing alone gives shape, but will not hold it. To last, shape must be in these clothes before the iron touches them. All-wool cloth, thor­ oughly tested and shrunk added to skillful tailoring, explains why Clothcraft Clothes hold their shape as long as the clothes last. This is only one of the points covered in the Clothcraft guarantee that makes these clothes such wonderful values at S10 to S25. When are you going to give us a chance to show you these insured clothes? 4130 at $18.50. A blue serge suit that is guaranteed to be good or we’ll make good. G. F.

The United Stales Geological Sur­ vey has Just Issued, ns an advance chapter from "Mineral Resources of the United Stales,” a report by Alfred H. Brooks on the mine production of precious nnd seini-preclous metals In Alaka In 1912. Metalliferous mining In Aloskn, says Mr. Brooks, made Im­ portant advances last year. Although the output of gold placers was less than in 1911, the installation of large plants, notably of dredges. In many districts is encouraging for the future of this Industry. More important was the progress made in lode gold min­ ing. the output of which was greater than In previous years. Copper mlnIng also advanced, partly because sev­ eral large plants Increased their out­ put, partly because a number of small mines were developed on account of the high price of copper. The development of lhe coni fields still awaits the establishment of a definite policy In regard to the dispo­ sition of the public coal lands. The delay In securing cheap fuel for the territory has now for many years caused a stagnation In many indus­ tries. Railway construction and. to a certain extent, railway operation have stopped and many mining enterprises have been hampered if not entirely abandoned on account of the uncer­ tainty as to the fuel problem. Very few Alaskans have any direct interest In coal claims or In mining, but the entire population of the territory Is desirous of seeing the coal fields de­ veloped, because It is believed that this well bring about advancement In many other Industries. Above all. it will encourage the operation and the construction of railways, which arc all Important to the territory.

The value of the gold pro­ duction of Alaska last year Is est'mated at 117,145,951. that of silver at $316,839. In 1911 the output of gold was valued at $16,853,256.

Jacobs and John Jacobs, also Mr. and Mrs. David Sailors, from Grand Rapids. Mr. aud Mra. Will Dean entertained Mr. and Mrs. Lescoiiler and son Eric, of St. Paul. Minn., from Monday until Friday of last week. John M. Perry, known by the alias of the Irving cornetlst. started out Monday with his bean threshing out­ fit. Mr. Perry started out to thresh some bean jobs over near Bowens Mills. A part of the bean crop has been pulled in this locality and some few bean crops have been threshed, while not < few fields are ripening but slowly. Taken from a thresher­ man's viewpoint there is not yet enough beans fit at this time to bo threshed out, since the pods are yet tough and do not really pass through the cylinders in the bean threshing machines. Mise Leia Shroyer Is staying with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Shroyer, and attending the Irving school. Vern Johnson, teacher. The young lady is studying hard and has even now In mind the eighth grade examination that will be held next spring. E. R. Dunlap was not able to fill his accustomed place on the M.

The conditions that brought tills nbout were n summer of excessively great heat, coupled with a season lacking by many inches the usual precipitation of rainfall. But even at that prices are holding good, and what has been raised this year fetches good values on the mar­ kets. Some few days ago a farmer near Irving sold a beef to the meat market butchers for seven cents per pound on foot. The beet weighed 1040 pounds for which the stock raiser received the tidy sum of 172.80. In fact everything on the borixon bodes fair for the common people of these United States and what's the use to worry anyway. From all present indications the bean crop raised this year will fall short of equaling the bumper yield harvested In 1912. We will admit that the acreage has been considera­ bly more this year than it was last season but then the yield per acre from what have already been thresh­ ed has been far short of Inst year's yield. The state of Michigan stands first on the list of bean producing states. In fact the Wolverine state has been raising and does raise no less than sixty-five per cent of ail the beans raised in the United States. The three principal bean producing states are ns follows: Michigan. Ohio nnd California, if our memory serves us aright. We think that the production of beans this year will fall far short of the crop report statistics that have been promulgat­ ed and spread broadcast throughout the country. If such Is the case and we confidently surmise that such Is a fact, then better prices may lie look­ ed for since this commodity is one of the important food products of this country.

This Year's Team Best of Indepen­ dent in the Slate According to Percentage of Games. The 1913 baseball season is over and the record made by the strong Hastings Independent team Is one that every member of the team and ever}' resident of the city which they have fought for, should be proud of. During the past season the team has played 53 games, winning 35 and loosing 17 with 1 tie. Three of the games, one a victory, have been play­ ed against Southern Michigan league teams and the balance against the strongest Independents teams in this part of the state. The Hastings-Grand Haven series which closed Sunday has been re­ markably close and the teams were forced to go the limit of the seven games to settle the series. With "Dad” Hale working as only he can work when he is fit. hi Saturday’s game, Hastings lost by a small mar­ gin.

A band of gypsies came into the city Monday morning and the women started to tell fortunes, but lite offi­ cers warned them out of town and they left, going toward Nashville. They tried to get on the fair ground, but they were told they were not wanted. If the country people would get over their fear of these nomads, and promptly report them to the offi­ cers. and testify to their thieving, the country would soon get rid of them.

The horses broke loose from the wagon, but were eauglit after wandering about a little while, without any serious harm to themselves. �PAGE TWO THURSDAY, SEPTEMIIEIt IS, 101X HASTINGS JOI RNAL-HERALD, ASSYRIA.

The seven errors and listless play­ ing last Friday by the home teain gave the Battle Creek Southern Mich­ igan league team a game which could have easily been captured by the Hastings players. To save the regu­ lar pitchers for the Grand Haven games Sauer of Grand Rapids, pitched for Hastings; he was hit freely, and his support poor. Five hits, two passes and misplays gave the visitors five runs, in the fifth, and cinched the game. G. Eek finished pitching. Asher held Hastings to no scores until the two last innings, when a batting streak netted eight tallies.

The poet, or whoever the fellow was that wrote “from the sublime to the ridiculous,0 must have had this con­ test In mind. The home team’s play­ ing was certainly ridiculous in the fore part of the game and while the closing rally was not exactly sublime it demonstrated that they could make others look Just ns foolish. Stebbins robbed Green of an extra base hit when he pulled off his fancy one handed spear In the third. The fifth period was a fruitful one tor the guests. McKay grounded out to M. Eck, Asher hit to center for three bases and scored when Steb­ bins failed to reach Hinges' fly to left. Hinges stole second and Green wa'ked. LaRoas filled the sacks with a single to center and Green came home when Rogers dropped Foster’s throw to catch LaRoss. Henningway walked but was nabbed trying to annex second. Gill singled to left and LaRoss tallied. Williams hit a Texas leaguer over second and Gill scored. Then Williams got anxious and was caught off first for the final out. M. Eek’s two bagger in the fifth was so hot It bounded off the third sack­ er’s shins to the tree in the left gar­ den. Stebbins looked bad when he canto back to first after the out fielder dropped Kynett’s long fly. However, he was not at fault as it looked from | the stand as if the fielder held the ; ball. Bobby Sour who was on the rubber for the locals didn't have a great deal and the crowd begged for Big Ham until Manager Rogers sent him In a: the start of the eighth. Benn went Into right when Eck took up the twirler’s duty in the eighth. He reached first on the pitcher’s error when he came up In that inning and got In front of a pitched ball In the ninth for a pass. Huntings got their first scores H the eighth when Benn got life on an error, Rogers singled to left and Steb­ bins brought them both In with a single to left Stebbins stole third and scored on Kynett’s single. Here is a Dick Merrlwell finish for you. Maltby opened the ninth with a single to center, Ham Eck ground­ ed out, pitcher to first. Foster walk­ ed and Bean was tunked with n pitched ball—bases full, one man down. Rogers hit a double bagger to center scoring Maltby and Bean. Stebbins came across with a single to right bringing in Foster. Midge grounded to short, Rogers in, Steb­ bins out at second, Midge safe. Then came our hero, Mr. Bel) with his dally three bagger, scoring Kynett. M. Eck swung on three twisters and the home season was a thing of the past. Thus endeth the Line Drives for 1913. Thank you.

Tbo prospective boarder was mak­ ing searching Inquiries, some of them reflecting upon the housekeeper. Most women would have resented it, but this timid little widow was so anxious to gs< the boarder who would pay in advance that she answered his questions meekly. "And now, madam, are there any children in the bouse?” he concluded. The little widow hesitated for an Instant and then said: ' No, sir.” "1 think, then, i’ll take the room.” The next day he moved into the room. He found the first week that the breakfasts were going to suit, and the widow, instead of being talkative and Inquisitive, was very quiet. After the first few weeks of satis­ faction and ssU-congratulatlofi he be­ gan to notice little Mrs. Hurt. 8he was good to took upon and well worth any man's notice. Coming home one day be saw two children playing under a tree in Mrs. Burt's garden. He thought they must bo trespassers tor, when he opened tbo gate, the boy started up with a took of terror and seised the wee sis­ tar by the hand. "Hello, youngsters,” said McDotS aid, stopping to pat the baby's curie. "Hello," said the boy. "Does Mrs. Burt let you play borer’ he questioned, for the lad seemed anx­ ious to be gone. "Yes, sir, but I must go dow,” was. th$ pnswer, pnd they hurried away. The next day be saw the same chil­ dren as be was coming through tbo little perk on bls way home. He sat down on a bench beside them, and put forth al) bls arts of entertainment to interest them. The boy was a manly little fellow of six. who took care of the three-year-old baby in a responsible manner. When the chil­ dren started home he walked with them. When be turned in the garden gate the boy led the little one on, but she bung back, saying positively: "les is where I live.” She was sobbing dolefully when the brother finally per­ suaded her to go on. McDonald was puzzled. He sat down on a garden seat to think it out. He had not asked the children their names or where they lived. Undoubt­ edly they know Mrs. Burt, perhaps were related, and in the habit of com­ ing often. But why, then, had he not seen them in the six weeks he had been there? He suddenly remem­ bered his abrupt question on the day he had taken the rooms. Could it be that she thought he hated all chil­ dren? His reflections were interrupted by a whisper behind him. Looking around, he saw the two children com­ ing down the walk. When they saw him the Uttle lad stopped and looked as If be were about to run away. McDonald arose and, taking a child in each hand, led them to the door. Mft. Burt met them at the door. She was very pale and her hands were trembling, but she held up her head and looked straight in his eyes. "Who are these children?” "They are mine.” “Good heavens! Where have they been all this tlmo?" "They’ve stayed upstairs when you were in the house. Ob! I know what you must think of me for deceiving you this way, And I haven't had a peaceful moment since I did it> But I knew when you asked me that you wouldn't take the room if there were children here. Taxes were due, and I needed the money so badly. I knew you would pay, and I couldn't bear to see you go. You see the children are very quiet. Their father—wasn't very fond of children, either, and they had to learn to be quiet and not bother him.” McDonald recalled something he had heard about a brutal husband and father, and stood aghast to think he had been put in the same class. Mrs. Burt was awaiting bis verdict, and the children were looking on with neared fares. Without a word he led the two little ones Into his room. The mother waiting outside beard loud shouts of glee. In about half an hour the children burst into the kitch­ en, still laughing merrily. "Oh, mamma!" shouted tbo boy, "the man gave mo a quarter, and told me to go up to the store and buy too cream for baby and ma." When they were gone McDonald came out where Mrs. Burt was still waiting. “They never made such a noise be­ fore." she said. "No? Well, then it's time they learned how. Think of those little things cooped up for six weeks and never daring to cheep when I was in ihe house. It makes me feel like an assassin. 1 told them to yell as loud as they could." "Oh-h!” said Mrs. Burt, and then for some reason she dropped her eyes and blushed. Then Mr. McDonald, who bad been In some doubt before, smiled with great satisfaction. “Yes,” he said, "just that I'm sure I'm needed to help bring up those chil­ dren. And you need someone to take care of you, and I want some ous to take care of. Can you trust me so much, little woman?” "I don’t deserve anything so lovely, when I have been so wicked," she whispered, but she was not permitted to finish that speech.

Mr. and Mrs. Roy H. Watson en­ joyed a few days' camping at Deep lake in Yankee Springs, last week. Messrs Frank Dmnoth and David H. Lake enjoyed a fishing trip to Baker lake, spending the week-end in camp. Last Saturday evening shortly after dark Walter Schiffmann met with a very painful accident through which the young man lost the first two phalanges of the first finger on his right hand. The accident happened out on the farm of Mrs. Anna Mlckel, of Yankee Springs township. Verne Nickel and Walter Schiffmann had cut some fodder which they had drawn to the barn on a stone boat and then proceeded to pass the fodder through a cutting box which was operated by hand power. In some way Walter Schiffmann was operat­ ing the machine, baring it running at a high speed, when he placed his hand on the gearing wheels and the first finger was cut up badly that Dr. A. L. Taylor, of Middleville, who dressed the hand, had to take off the first two joints of the finger. The in­ dex finger was also quite badly lace­ rated. There is now a market In Irving at the roller mills for all kind of grain nnd the highest market prices are paid at all times by the firm of Frank Childs & Co. The new man­ agement of the roller mills of this place are out for business and are bound to please the public, treating all patrons in a satisfactory manner. Frank Childs la well known to the residents of Barry county and all things point to a consistent and In­ creasing trade at this place. That is just as it should be. We are pleased to see the propitious start made by the new firm and take pleasure In an­ nouncing In these columns that every­ thing augurs for a successful business for the firm of Frank Childs ft Co. at Irving, Mich. Frank Childs unloaded his house­ hold goods from the car at Irving last week and is now living on the place owned by Henry M. Chapman, of Middleville, one balf mile south from Irving Station. George D. Smith, of Moline, was over to the village of Irving the first of the week, removing some of his personal effects to Moline. While here be told us that his work as engi­ neer in the mills at Moline was agree­ able. We understand that the mills are owned and operated by Gray Bros, of Middleville. WlHiam Springer worked tor Oscar Palmer a few days last week, assist­ ing Mr. Palmer to care for his bean crop. Mra. Bate Senalba and Mra. L. D. Hall from Rutland visited last week Thursday and Friday at the home of Mra. Senalba’s sister, Mrs. Joe Martin, of Grand Rapids. " B. M. Batep made a business trip to Middleville Saturday. Several from thia locality are mak­ ing preparations to attend the Barrv county fair to be held at Hastings this week. In fact not a few are eager to see the flying machine go through the evolutions at the fair grounds, which has been billed as a biplane, since as a usual thing farmers have their work well under way and can take a day or two off now just as well as not Mr. and Mrs. Earl Stanton of Cale­ donia autoed over to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest E. Warner Sunday afternoon, returning to their home the same day. Messrs. Byron and Frank Travis are operating tbelr gasoline engine today (Monday) on the Earl farm between Irving and Middleville to help in fill­ ing the silo on the farm.

Franks and daughter Margaret visited at Mrs. C. R. Watson’s from Saturday until Monday. The large scales In the village of Irving were overhauled by Frank Dnmoth last week. All the timbers that had been used in holding the scales In place were taken out and other timbers set in their place. The tim­ bers were set In cement to insure sta­ bility of construction and solidity of frame work so that all parts of the scales are now placed in proper working order. In fact tests have been made thus Insuring their relia­ bility and accuracy of weight And in addition a new covering waa built for the balancing arms and the weigh­ ing attachment so that the working parts are In good order. Of course a pair of scales In a small village are not a lucrative thing from a financial standpoint but like many another convenience we could ill afford to do without them. Many times they save a great amount of time for those who need to use the scales. The state traveling library that was placed in the Irving M. E. Sunday school was returned to Lansing this week, and another set of books has been ordered and will be placed in the Bunday school. The young people as well as the older ones have manifest­ ed a desire to make use of these state traveling libraries, and as the fall and winter evenings grow longer and longer, such books In any community are of much real and lasting benefit Show a student of human nature the class of books a person reads or makes use of and he well tell you at once the depth of that person's mentality and the kind'of character possessed by that same individual. The better the class of literature pursued the higher will that reader rise in the social scale and then the trashy kinds of reading make trashy minds, shallow and sen­ timental. We are pleased to see good literature placed in our village and shall always favor such a plan of pro­ cedure. TAMARAC CORNERS. Mr. and Mra. E. C. Houghton spent Sunday with Mr. and Mra.

They had •one west, leaving the unprofitable rocks and worn-out soil to the mercy of the winds and weeds. Then bad followed M blighting years In Iowa. Her father was improvident: It bad always been drudgery until Jim came along and married her out ot hand. They talked the scheme over all that evening, and It ended In their dosing up the house and taking a trip into New Hampshire to look around. And then it was that they camo upon their ideal village. It was a tiny, straggling place tn a Sheltered valley, with high mountains •How Leaf Are You Two Feels Going to Held OetF an round, and at tbe end of the long street was tbe dearest Uttle place— about 12 acres, with a brook at the foot and a Uttle cottage, falling Into decay, but still weatherproof, with old-tashloMd fireplaces snd dormer window*—just the place for them. "Wo must have it, Lucy," said Jim. Lucy's own spirits roe*. Perhaps forming was different nowadays from what it had boon. She pictured her­ self with her flock of chickens, and Jim writing and digging tn tbe potato patch. Tee. thia place seemed to have been mad* for them. But was It for rent or sale? it had lain vacant for more than 20 years, the neighbors said. Nobody remem­ bered its former owner, for tbe old people had died off and the young ones bad migrated to the cities. Only one man knew—Em Powell, tbe boss of the Uttle community, the village banker, the landowner whoso property adjoined their own. As for the title deeds the registrar’s oSce had been burned out 12 years before and there was no record remaining. They weat to Em Powell and found a grim, rod-foced, domineering man, who listened to tbrir request for in­ formation with stolid malignity. ■That place ain’t to rent or sell," ho said, when Jim bad ended. "Is it mine? Tseng man, I don’t talk about my private affaire. I any you can’t have IL" "Unless that pines Is yours wo are going to take it," said Jim, defiantly. His was tbo primitive land hunger, that strong, elemental instinct that demand* more insistently than say other pi sol no Ho would have a tew acres for his own, and no Em Powell the house was In order and tne groan* broken up and planted. A motherly hen and a brood of chickens laid tbe foundation of what promised to be­ come a flourishing industry. And soon, they discovered the cause ot Powell’s hostility. It was the neighbor* who told them,; under pledge* of secrecy and with; every appearance of fear. There was I a rich marble quarry on Powell’*1 land, and the indications were thati tbs vein ran obliquely under their own little farm. Powell had always taken what be wanted. He wanted tbe little farm adjoining, had meant to takw and work it that year when his crush-* Ing machinery was installed, hut bsl had believed that they would dare forestall them, and they had moved in just before he took possession. He could not put them out, but they could not have put him out. They had only the right of prior possession. Powell could, however, make life almost impossible, and did. He in­ augurated a boycott, and the village tradesmen dared Dot serve Jim, who was compelled to go to Evesham for bls supplies. On his return, loaded down, he found two rough-looking men at th* door. Inside was Lucy, crying. ’They tried to get me to come out," sb* said. “But I knew that If ones I left tbe bouse they would take pos­ session. Jim, we are like prisoners."' It was tree; they were prisoners. Jim dared not leave his land. For,, night and day, a man lingered upon the highroad, just outside the cottage door, ready to take possession forPowell should the cottage be left empty for a single moment. Lucy bad: to trudge to Evesham for provisions twice a week, while John kept guard. Hla capital was melting fast. The small hoard, dow reduced to little mor* than a hundred dollars, Jim kept under a loose board in tbe floor. Th*; potatoes were sprouting nicely, but there would be no purchasers in Clearwater. And, to crown all, Jim’s literary efforts only essmed to add to th* burdens of tbe postman. Powell would pass tbe door a dosen times a day, glum and scowling. He did not know how near Jim was to capitulation. But Jim and Lucy were determined to fight to the last They calculated that they could provtefoa tbemeelve* untn Christman Buttbey would ba prisoners all through th* dreary summer and fall. It was lato in August when Powell visited them. He was becoming auxious; bls crushing machinery had been set up and he had had an offer from | a firm in Boston for the property. To close with this It was necessary to obtain Immediate possession of the littie farm; otherwise be could sell at little more than half what he antici­ pated. He appeared at the door one afternoon, wearing a sort of sullen smile. “How long are you two fools going to hold outF he asked. "You'll have to give up afore winter. Come. I’ll give you a couple of hundred to quit." Jim looked at Lucy and Lucy looked nt Jim. Both were utterly discouraged and weary. Two hundred dollar* would take them back to Boston, whet* Jim might obtain a position on one of the paper* that fall. But th* right of Powell aroused all their latent fighting spirit. "Why. Tm pretty comfortable, Mr. Powell," said Jim. “I wasn’t thinking of getting out at all.” “Come, name your price,” said Pow­ ell. "You can't live by bsna. It’s been tried.

I’U make it three hundred.” “Ill go.” said Jim, Tor seven hun­ dred and fifty dollars.'* "Done!" shouted Powell with a ve­ hemence which amazed the house­ holder*. He pulled out a bulging pocket-book, which he had brought with him for the purpose, and peeled Off eight one-hundred dollar bin*. "Got change?" he sneered.

A. R., Tansing, Mich. It is this record, which has the name of every soldier enlisted in its ranks and that soldier’s record. It is from this book we make np this synopsis of the regiment, one of the units of the famous Custer’s Mich­ igan Cavalry Brigade. Tbe Sixth Michigan regiment wm. organised in the summer of 1843 at Grand Rapids, and consisted ot twelve troops, to be 100 men strong. Its first colonel wU George Gray, of Grand Rapids. The regiment was mounted on Michigan Norses before It left the state, Dec. 1st, 1841. On arriving at Washington, D. C« It went into camp or winter quarters, on Meridian Hill, then a suburb of Wash­ ington. It wu armed with the Spencer rifle a new arm ot the ser­ vice, and known in the army as the •'Seven shooter," it having seven shots before loading. Drill and ser­ vice were in order until spring when it broke camp and moved to Fairfax Court House and did picket duty, un­ til June. Two troops, I snd M„ were on detached service, petroling the Po­ tomac on north side from Rock Creek to Harper’s Ferry, and wero not con­ nected with the regiment until the fall of 1H4, rejoining the regiment at Culpepper, Va. While at Fairfax the 1st. 5th, «th snd 7th Michigan Cavalry were brigaded with Copeland u command­ er, and as Hooker’s army began mov­ ing into Maryland, he was succeeded by Gen. Geo. A. Custer, promoted from General Pleasanton's staff. Custer was first seen by the men of the brigade at Hanover, Pa., Jun< 30th, 1883. and led the charge of the 6th Mich., the first time the regiment wu under fire. On July 2d, it dis­ tinguished itself st Hunterstown af­ ter dark when it encountered Wade Hampton’s cavalry. It wu in the famous cavalry fight on the right ar Gettysburg. July 3d, where It sup­ ported Pennington’s battery. July 4th, it marched all day In the rain, and at midnight in a terrific electric storm engaged the rear guard of Lee’s army. At Smithfield, Boonsboro, HagerstoWn, Williamsport, and Fall­ ing Waters from the Sth to 14th of July it continually attacked the rear guard of the army of Northern Vir­ ginia. At Falling Waters the 12th engagement of the Michigan troopers In less than three weeks. Major Weber wu killed and the regiment sustained s loss of twenty-eight men. The southern papers described the charge of Major Weber’s hattai­ lton u a “charge of dare-devils," and was with one exception the most disastrous and most gallant he ever made. The regiment followed Cuter back into Virginia. It did conspicuous service at Brandy Station, Oct 11th, *nd Backland Mills, Oct. l»th and other engagements, until it went in­ to winter quarters at Stevensburg, Va. When Kilpatrick made hla famous raid to Richmond, it brought up the rear, when that impetuous general was driven out of his camp at mid­ night On May «th, 1864, it routed Router's cavalry in the wilderness, the enemy leaving its Wiled and wounded on the field. It led the ad­ vance on the first day ot Sheridan s great raid; at Beaver Dam, Yellow Tavern, where rebel general Stuart wu Wiled, at Hanovertown, Hawe s Shop, Trevillion Station and many other small engagements during May and June. . Then it came back to the Shenan­ doah Valley in July, and in all the engagements ot the brigade, then un­ der direct command of Gen. Stagg, it did conspicuous service, especially at Winchester, Shepardstown. Tom’s Brook, “Woodstock Races”, and Ced­ ar Creek. It wintered at Winchester. In 1865 it left Winchester, went up the valley, across tbe mountain, to the .Tnmen river valley and did its share up to the very last shot fired nt Ap­ pomattox. The regiment was In the grand r.vlew nt Washington, and then went west to fight the Indians.

Just at the present time when the centennial of Perry's victory has brought to every one’s mind the inter­ esting history of early Michigan, the following account of the life of an old veteran ot the famous Lake Erie battle, will be worth repeating. The following facto are taken from a copy of the Quincy Herald of July 15th. 1888: Alexander Odren was born in what is now the city of Detroit in 1790. and died in California, Branch county, Mich., July 9th, 1888. Mr. Odren well remembered when Detroit had but three streets and less than 400 inhabitants and tbe town was barricaded to protect it from the Indians. He Is the last survivor of that famous engagement. Perry’s Vic­ tory. He, with a comrade, crossed the Detroit river one evening in 1812 and was caught by the press gang and placed on board the British manof-war, The Queen Charlotte, where he served until taken prisoner by Commander Perry. He was one of a company of nine that manned one of the guns and he asserts that they would shoot too high or too low every time. He well remembered hearing the British commander, Barclay, giv­ ing orders to “give It to them or we will soon be gone.” When they were taken, but one, aside frota himself, was left at the gun. the other seven being dead or wounded, and streams of blood were running on the deck ot the vessel. After the engagement he immediately enlisted in our navy and served until the close ot the war. When be was nine years old there were but 500 white inhabitants lu what is now Michigan and he was fifteen years old before it was even formed into a territory. He worked much of his time while living in De­ troit, for old Gen. Brady. Odren was married in Detroit in 1814 and reared a family of eleven sone and daughters. In the Bpring of 1836 he sold ten acres ot land where the city hall of Detroit now stands for $400 and with the proceeds purchased from the gov­ ernment the land on which he died, moving his family there in the fall of 1836, Gen. Brady sending a team to help convey him to bls'new home in tbe wilderness. In the spring of 1837 he sent his family back to De­ troit to keep them from starving. When he came to California he brought with him six cows and a yoke of oxen, but during the first win­ ter all ot the cows and one ax died. He rigged a harness for the remain­ ing ox and used him for clearing up land during the summer of 1837. In the spring of 1837 Mr. O. went to Lima, Ind., a distance of 32 miles, and purchased one bushel ot potatoes which he carried home on hi* back. He sent to t Detroit once for a barrel of pork ana it cost him 850. Think far a’moment, Washington bad not been president two years when this man was born, and he had distinct recollections ot most of the inventions used in the civilised vorld today. nwHnt Like EatertalMk OU InllM <•!»» n>n4>, Away back some twenty years ago a number ot the young sportsmen, like Luke Waters, William H.

And so it happened very naturally that the recent return of Sperry Phillips to Hastings after an ab­ sence of a dosen years suggested that It would be a nice thing to get the members of tbe club together for a sapper and a good social time.

Exhibits Were Not So Large A* Some Other Years But Many st Them Were *f Superior Quality. The Barry county fair for 1913 I* a thing of the past Like all its prede­ cessors it had it* successes and its failures. It* pleasant features and its disappointment*, its anxieties and it* satisfaction*, It* praise* and its criti­ cism*. Owing to a combination of ad­ verse circumstance* and conditions, for which nobody can be blamed, at least locaHy, the disappointment* and the failure* thl* year make a longer Mat than usual. To begin with, tbe dry, hot summer has been unfavorable to bumper crop* and phenomenal growth*. Consequently, we could not expect very good showing* in the lines of fruits, vegetables, grains and flow­ ers. Considering these fact* the ex­ hibit* in these departments were fair­ ly good, although nothing a* compared to some former year*. In the agricultural Implement line, two Hastings firms, Goodyear Bro*, and W. A. Hall, made their usual fins displays. Indeed, if these two exhib­ itors were taken away, a very big hole would be left on the Barry coun­ ty fair ground*. With their big tents, their displays of farm machinery, car­ riages, etc., they make an Indispens­ able part of the fair. The poultry tent. In charge of M. W. Hick*, contained an unusually small, but unu*uaUy choice assortment of Barry county'a beet poultry. M. W. Rick* exhibited Leghorn*, Sicilian Buttercups and Plymouth Rocks; F. R. Pancoast, Partridge Wyandotte*; Charles Atkins. Mottled Ancon tax; C. H. Thomas, Buff Wyandotte*; Ben Putnam, Buff Rock* and Silver Laced Wyandotte*; Will and George Craig. Muscovy ducks. In the live stock department* there were a number of creditable exhibits, particularly in horses and swine. Frank Price’s registered Percherou mare* with colt* and stallion were among the notable exhibit*' In the horse sheds. Warren Kelsey also had a good exhibit of horses. In the sheep department, good flocks of Rambouillet* were shown by Lee Campbell, H. L. Mayo and Ira Baldwin; Charles Hall, Sam Marshall and W. H. Schantz showed Shropshires; Carey Edmonds and H. L. Mayo, American Merinos. In the swine department there were some excellent exhibit* made by such well known breeder* as Rob't Martin, who had twelve pens of Poland Chinas; W. H. Schantz, who had Berk­ shire*; Henry Ragla, "O. L C.”; Carey Edmonds, Warner Kelsey and C. W. Bigg*. Duroc Jersey*. The principal cattle exhibit* were mads by Shaw A Johnston and Craig Bro*, with good herd* of registered Jerseys. Louto Norton had Hereford*; Peter Kuntz. Shortbora*; Newton Bros., Helsteln-Frieslan*: C. A. Brown Holstein calves; Lew Matthews, four head of Hototeln-Frieslans. This de­ partment was unusually light this year. In the fine art** hall several of our merohant* made good displays. The Loppenthlen Co. had dry goods; Walldorff Bros., pianos and kitchen cabi­ net*; F. A. Brown 4 Co., plumbers’ supplies; F. R.

Tbe great dlMeulty In filling this interest­ ing department Uss In tbe fact that country teachers are not willing to be­ gin preparation for the fair until the opening of tbe school year In Septem­ ber. This leaves only two or three week* to prepare their exhibit*. If rural schools would begin their prepa­ ration the previous winter or spring the result would undoubtedly be very much more satisfactory. However, there were a number of very creditable displays on the rural school side of the building. Coats Grove. Cloverdale, the Otte school, tbe Ryan school, the Cheney school, tbe Carlton Center and Holmea trbools. being especially worthy of mention. Hastings City and Nashville were the only graded school* represented and they both had good showings of work in all departments. Nashville’s man­ ual training exhibit, especially In sloyd work, deserves particular at­ tention. The speed department thl* year was unusually full and the race* were the center of much interest. Although the track was rather heavy, some very good record* were made. A summary of the races I* given elsewhere. ! The "Better Babies" contest wa* a great success, attracting deep Inter­ est. especially on the part of the la­ dles. A full account of this contest is given under another head. One of the popular features of the fair, attracting much favorable com­ ment, was the rest tent and free checking arrangement* under the aus­ pices of the Jouroa.-Herald. The tent was In charge of Mr. Lee Young of tbe Journal-Herald force, assisted by F. W. Annable of Woodland. Lunch baskets, overcoats, umbrellas, etc., were checked and taken care of, for everybody who wished, free of all ex­ pense. Hundred* of people availed themselves of the opportunity and all were made equally welcome. The attendance was light on Wed­ nesday, but Thursday brought the usual big crowd for the third day at the fair. On Friday there wa* a fair attendance, and a* the weather was bright and sunny, It was the most en­ joyable day of the week. The great disappointment of tbe week was the failure of the air man to put In an appearance. A full ex­ planation of this failure, from the standpoint of the management, I* giv­ en elsewhere. It te plain that the of­ ficer* acted In perfect good faith la thl* matter and that the responaibility for the failure of this feature, does not rest upon our officer*. Neverthe­ less the failure of the aeroplane to ap­ pear was a sore disappointment to most of the visitors to the fair, and many were disposed to blame the of­ ficers. On second thought, and after learning the officer*’ side of the mat­ ter, we do not believe the people will do the management such an injustice. The financial outcome of the fair cannot be fully given at the present time. Secretary Schauta will publish a financial statement later. PH HE WE FOffllliniH AN ELABORATE DINNER AND RE­ CEPTION GIVEN IN HIS HONOR. Factories Unite la Demsnstratisa *f Esteem ter Him and Hh Wife on Eve sf Their Departure. As Emil Tyden and family were about to move away from Hosting* to take up their residence in Chicago, '.t was fitting that the three manufactur­ ing concerns with which Mr. Tyden te so Intimately connected, the Hastings Table Co., the International Seal and Lock Co. and the Consolidated Press and Tool Co. should devise some pleasant scheme by which they could appropriately and adequately show their appreciation and esteem for him. The plan decided upon wa* to give him and Mr*. Tyden a reception and dinner, In which the director* and of­ ficers of the companies and the fore­ men of the several departments with their wives should participate. Accordingly thte plan wa* carried out last Saturday evening at the Ma­ sonic dining room, the arrangement* being in the hand* of T. J. Potter, Joseph McKnlght, A. C. Brown and C. W. Clarke. No such beautiful and elaborate function wa* ever before carried out in this city, although it was entirely informal, without any speech making whatever. No pains nor expense was spared to make It firet-clas* In every detail. Mrs. Ida Wood a* caterer, brought Into requtoitloa all her exquisite skill to mak* the six-course dinner everything that could be desired. About thirty young ladlsa and gentlemen served. To ths music of Mrs. Troxel’s or­ chestra, ninety-six persons sat down at the beautifully appointed table*. The head table had for It* color scheme, red. It was U-shaped and had as It* central adornment a mammoth basket of magnificent red rose*. Thte basket wa* presented to Mr*. Tyden. All the flower* on this table were rad roses, and red candles and Japanese shade* added to tbe beautiful effect The other table* were decorated with white flower*. Elaborate place cards, representing basket* of roses, were used. The only out-of-town guest* were George F. Lee of Chicago, general baggage agent of tht Rock Island lines, and wife; and L. F. Carlton, Chicago manager for the Consolidated Pre** and Tool Co., *nd wife. Mr. Tyden, who with his family ha* gone to new home In Chicago, has been for years a potent factor in the manu­ facturing life of this city. He te not only a prolific Inventor of labor-sav­ ing and ingenious machinery, but what te rare In Inventive minds, a man of superior administrative and bnslnesa ability. The institution* with which he te connected here attest this fact It te therefore gratifying to note that hte departure from Hastings does not affect hl* business relations with these prosperous fattitutions.

A particularly striking and effective hat from Madame La Brotte will give you a correct idea of what Paris women are wear­ ing today. A rich and charming hat in black velvet that sits on the head in a captivating way is another authentic expression of smart millinery—medium size with handsome soft tam crown—the style beauty being enhanced by one of the new lace fancies. The second and equally important feature of this exhibit is the price consideration. Every one of our 250 hats is priced for our opening exhibit and sale at almost half price and that’s not a bit exaggerated. Thu means that you can purchase for $2.50 or $2.75 a hat worth $5.00 retail, and so on up in proportion. Beautiful $10.00 hats for $5.00 to $6.00. The most exclusive hats $20 models at $10.75 Now these prices would be remarkable at the end of a seaaon or after a stock had been pretty well picked oven but now at thia time with the toll seaaon jost opening and the stock comprising as fine and complete a display as you will find in Grand Rapids or Detroit, you will admit the opportunity is phenomenal. We can only advise you to protect your own interest by visit­ ing our store at your earliest convenience. Special style exhibit this week of the very latest models in Coats, Skirts and Furs.

The following from the Charlotte Leader could be locally applied to good advantage: "The really great men are the most simple in expression and method, nnd pure motives rather than duplicitv their rule in life. The words of Bish­ op Burt at Ypsilanti Inst week at the M. E. conference, to ambitious men were: "We do not come to the con­ ference for church politics, or to see who gets appointments, or to hear addresses, but to gain more of the Christ spirit. Ever}- day at the con­ ference should be like the upper room at the time of Pentecost.” Very much and very simply said. We side with Bishop Burt. We never knew ward politic* or selfish ambition to show itself in a church organization that did not finally threaten its life. It always cripples Ils usefulness for good to the full measure of the poli­ tic* and ambition." If you want anything on earth ad­ vertise for it la our want column. Maalripal Improvements Needed.

Accepted.................. day of............... 191.7 Thl* conrtact shall be binding on the second party hereto when accept­ ed by the duly authorixed officer* of tbe company. Since the failure of tbe Theatrical Company to fulfil11 it* part of the con­ tract. said contract ha* been submit­ ted to Attorney P. T. Colgrove, who after carefully reading it over, pro­ nounces the contract valid and give* It as his opinion that If the company (which l* one of the largest of It* kind In the United States) is responsible, damages could be collected from it for failure to carry out its part of the agreement So much for the contract. Since the contract was entered into several letters have' passed between the secretary of the fair and the book­ ing company, one from them stating who the aeronaut would be, another offering to take a bridal party of three on one of the flights, the couple to be married in midair, another offering tc furnish the tickets used In showing the aeroplane under canvas for a small admission fee. In fact every­ thing up to fair week seemed to indi­ cate that we were sure to have tbe airship flights. The secretary, know­ ing that one or two of their aviators were making flights at fair* in thia । state, and not hearing from them by Monday evening of the fair week, sent a telegram to the company office at 6 N. Clark St., Chicago, asking why their man and machine had not been beard from and on Tuesday morning received the following telegram in re­ ply: Chicago. Ill, BepL 1«, 1913. W. H. Schantx, secretary Blue Ribbon fair, Hastings, Mich. Beachy delayed with engine trouble, advise later when shipping. International Theatrical Co. And on Wednesday the following telegram came: Chicago, I1L, BepL 17, 1918. W. H. Schantx, secretary Blue Ribbon fair, Hastings, Mich.

A more dejected lot of officer* Chan the executive com­ mittee after receiving these telegrams would be bard to describe. At a meeting held in the office ot the secretary Wednesday afternoon, the only thing obtainable on ao short notice waa the balloon and parachute drop* for the next two days, and a man with a large auto mnde a wild midnight ride to a neighboring city to secure him. If. after carefully reading the above stntefent regarding thl* unfortunate affair, there can be found a man who will persist In declaring this whole matter of securing an aeroplane for, the fair by the executive committee a fake, that man I* to be pitied.

It la jut aa irresistible because the causes which create It are perpetual. Civilised man la principally devoted to two things: riwatning the means of subsistence and striving to better Mo own condi­ tion. Where our civilisation is well advanced there is a common effort to promote the general welfare, for men soon learn that the promotion of the geural welfare betters the condition of every individual. In all such en­ deavors men encounter stubborn op­ position. The Great Charter wa* opposed by the absolute power ot King John of England, but in that encounter abso­ lutism wa* compelled to yield. Man­ hood suffrage had to fight its way against Iron opposition with all the •'safe and sane" arguments against It The abolition of the property qualifi­ cation for voters waa baaed upon the supposition that if all tbe multitude of landless poor were permitted to participate In the affairs of govern­ ment and cast their votes with the same power of sovereignty as the lend owners and the well-to-do, prop­ erty rights would be abolished and mob law and virtual anarchism would follow. Home rale for municipalities was opposed just aa stubbornly.

Nel Boo ta Tariff. The high price of beef is not due to the tariff. Taking off the tariff will not lower its price to the producer and consumer, for tbe fact to that the scarcity of supply will continue and the price will continue to soar, until ft will be beyond tbe province of the laboring man to use It only as a lux­ ury. Demagogues may prattle about tai- iff tinkering, appealing to the preju­ dices of the farmers as producers and to the laborer* a* consumers, but the country is too well Informed to be de­ ceived by their gush. The high prlca of meat Is due to n constant de­ crease In production, and the cost of production. Cheap menl held sway ao long a* vast herds of cattle could roam the western wilds, costing scarcely anything for their keep, and which could be shipped to the eastern markets and to Europe at a price but little above the transportation charges. The march of civilisation has peopled the western plains and the herds have been driven out. The scene changes: instead of being exporters we are look­ ing about for imports. We no longer regard Argentina and Brazil as rivals in the European markets; we are look­ ing to them to supply the shortage here. Europe, cut off from the supply of this country, is a bidder in the same market*, and the prices are be­ ing well maintained, to the advantage of our Booth American neighbors. The failure of the corn crop; the cholera in swine; tbe declining of the sheep industry, which ha* been going on for nearly a half century, and the increase In population are other po­ tent causes tor high prices of meats. Tariff has nothing to do with it Lower Salaries. The democratic party has been making good for the past six months, They have scarcely warmed the seats they have been called upon to occupy, but there is a true ring to the reform* inaugurated and proposed. Tariff reform downward is an accomplished fact. No Industry has been hurt, not­ withstanding the dire prediction of republican politicians. Along with tariff reform ta the taking over the change in our financial system. After three days' open discussion the Glass currency bill, (practically a Greenback idea), was passed Thurs­ day last by a three-fourths vote for It* passage, all Michigan representa­ tives, voting for it but Joe Fortney and Edwart Hamilton These two mtarepreeentatlves of a constituency which would profit by the change of methods in banking, were too closely allied with Wall Street interests to be able to assist In the change for the bettor. Pretty soon will come the anti-trust law, which divorced New Jersey from the trusts and it will do the same for the whole coun­ try. But while the democratic govern­ ment, eoatrolling all branches as It does, to looking after the capitalists and law violator* it should look af­ ter the office holding branches Irre­ spective at party allegiance. The railroads by tar the best managed corporations of all large concerns, have found that high salaries did not secure honesty, nor greater efficiency. The government officials are too often appointed for political reasons regardless of their ability and too there are too many sinecures, where the pay exceeds the service. The writer has often argued that less pay for public ©Metals would cure many po­ litical evils. A poetmastership of the first, second and third class should not be a political gift, to some boss. The P. M. should be a working ofltetal, at a salary paid for like ser­ vice in private business, and this should apply to all official* If this were done, there would be less scramble for tbe ofifces, and we be­ lieve better service rendered.

Ferris In a speech before the meeting. If we remember rightly Gaffney was a can­ didate for labor commisBioner along with several others from different parts of the slate. Detroit labor men sent a large delegation to Lansing and importuned the governor to ap­ point Cunningham of Detroit, which he did, Cunningham appointed his deputies from labor ranks, but. It U said, appointed socialist*, bull moosers, and turned down democrat* who applied. Thte made a ruction among unions, for It was plain to be seen that toadyism, rather than com­ petency wa* the guide to appoint­ ments. It was freely predicted be­ fore the copper country trouble that “Labor" would turn on the governor, and the prediction has become a fact There te probably no man In tbe state who ba* a higher regard for laboring men than Governor Perri*. Tbe great leaders of Union labor, who have been in conference with the executive, praise him for hl* honest efforts to help settle tbe difficulty In northern Michigan. He has begged, pleaded with and scolded tbe mine operators, but to no purpose, yet his most bitter assailants are the very class of men he ha* tried to help tbe moat. The agitators, the "walk­ ing delegates," not union labor, are responsible for the outrage* commit­ ted by workingmen. Inflammatory speeches at tbe beginning of labor troubles drift employer and employe apart, when by honest, and concilia­ tory effort the differences could be adjusted. Mr. Ferris may have se­ cured the enmity of a few "little big men,” with glib tongue*, but he will not suffer political oblivion through their effort.

Editorial la Engtoe*rlag Bswrd BeaB AMj WHb the Ceatag Bead e 4 The announcement of a definite pol­ icy on national aid to road improve­ ment will probably be made by the secretary of agriculture at the Amer­ ican Road Congress, which meets in Detroit during the week of Septem­ ber 29th. In view of the present favorable at­ titude of congress it 1* expected that a definite declaration by Secretary Houston will, if supported by the American Road Congress, insure early action by the congress of the United States. Under these conditions it is certain that the attendance in Detroit during the week of the congress, will break all records as tbe thousand* ot good roads supporters wish to be on hand when this epoch making decis­ ion is reached. “With the third American Road Congress only three weeks off. the Engineering Record urges Its reader*, contractor*, highway officials and en­ gineers, to consider earnestly the va­ ried program announced in laat week's issue. The perfecting of the organi­ sation abows Its fruits in the plana for the congress. The program cover* every phase of the subject, and through the energy of the officer* the dead framework of a plan has been vivified by the acceptance of program assignment* by men of experience an.l recognised standing. While the en­ tire program mey not, at first sight, appeal to all, it I* urged that tbe en­ gineers do not come merely for Wed­ nesday sessiona on construction and maintenance. Conditions decree that the engineer* form the substantial backbone of the highway organisation of the country. Those who will grasp the opportunities are not the ones whose knowledge stops with mate­ rials, croas-sectlons, and methods ot construction and maintenance. Leg­ islation is the foundation of all high­ way work, while the attitude of tbe user (especially represented by the very aggressive automobile Interests) will play a great part in the future ot our highway systems. The sessions on national aid will re­ quire watching by well balanced men. free from the trammel* of politic* and commercial influences, while the res­ olutions coming up on the last day, proclaiming to tbe country at large tbe conclusion of the congress, demand their scrutiny, as they will ask the support of the technical men present. The resolution* will be practically settled ta committee, but tbe commit­ tees will be the surer to reflect the tenor of the congress if ft is realised that the Saturday attendance will be large and vigorous. It ha* been defi­ nitely announced that an effort will be made to agree on a policy of na­ tional aid; on the formation of a body to codify and simplify existing state highway laws, to tbe end that anti­ quated and contradictory laws may be superseded, and to arouse the partici­ pants to a realisation of the part that maintenance must play in our road scheme. Engineer* have, therefore, been forewarned of the matters to be taken up. and their failure to attend ta* large number* and toitay through the congress will not only be evidence If direlection ot duty but of failure to appreciate the part they may and should take in the development of our national highway system. Highway authorities, too, should be re to the educational advantages ol congress. The best investment y can make Is to send adequate egatioas of their responsible oflL A Meaatala of Amethyst*. Cape Blomidon, standing rugged guard where the Basin of Minas sets in from the Bay of Funday, Is a verit­ able mountain of amethysts. Longfellow mentions this in “Evan­ geline," where he says "—away to the northward Blomidon rose." And Blomidon doe* literally rise. A close approach to it, made coming in by boat from Parrsboro to Kingsport and Wolfville, N. B., shows It* ragged wall* of red sandstone, almost impos­ sible to climb. And all through this mountain that juts out Into the cold water* of Fanday there are amethysts front the tiny crystal* as small aa a pea to big one* the else of a water tumbler. Some success has been attained ta mining them, but this is not carried on very extensively. A number of people make a fair profit every spring by al­ lowing nature to do their mining for them. The tide* there are fifty feet, •nd the winter* are extremely severe. When It is away below zero and the wind* are piling the sea high over the side of Blomidon, quantities of. the rocks are torn out And the freezing temperature rents many a stratum asunder. In tbe spring the frost* up­ heave other portion* and that i* tbo time many of the native* either drive tbe twelve desolate mile* over to tbe point from Kingsport, or go down with a fair tide by water. The water route Is best, as it is al­ most Impossible to get down the steep sides from the land. At this season many great bowlder* are uprooted and torn from the walls, and every year new crevices are opened. Here the amethysts are found. While the ame­ thyst Is only a semi-preclou* jewel, good specimens of the dark crystals, all uncut, bring sufficient- money to make it well worth while. Those that are not of sufficient qual­ ity to find a market with dealers in gems, are made into hat and stick pins and sold to tourist*. A special committee of the National Association for the Study and Preven­ tion ot Tuberculosis, of which Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs of Baltimore, Is chairman, announce* today the exact proportions of the double red cross, the international tuberculosis em­ blem, which have been adopted for use In the United States. Every organisation or institution dealing with tuberculosis will be urged to use the emblem ta Its correct propor­ tion*. Although the double red cross was adopted for use ta the United States in IBM as the symbol of the crusade against tuberculosis, no effort was made to standardise the shape or proportions, with the result that hundred* of differently formed em­ blems are now being used in this country. After a year of study of the history and artistic merits of all of the designs available, the National Association has finally chosen one in which all the arm* are pointed, the two cross arm* being ot the same length. The width of the cross Is taken aa the unit in determining tbe proportions. The length of the low­ er leg is 7 units; tbe arms are 3 unit* on either aide; the point above the arms 2% units; and the distance be­ tween the arms, 1% unit*. These measurements bold good for any size. •Tbe double red cross was first adopted a* the symbol of tbe Interna­ tional Antl-Tuberculosl* Association in Berlin in October, 1902. The pro­ poser of the symbol was Dr. G. Serslron of Paris, who is now Asso­ ciate Secretary of L’Association Cen­ tral* Francaise Contre la Tuberculooe. Today the emblem 1* being used by antl-tuberculoal* workers in every part of the world, even ta Ice­ land, India, South Africa, Labrador, Japan, China and the Philippines. The double red cross Is similar in shape to a cross used frequently ta the Greek-Catholic churches, and also to tbe Lorraine Cross of France.

HASTINGS JOURNAL-HERALD Established 1868-1880. Vol. 2. No. 45. HE RECEIVES PAY FORDOW KILLED DISPUTE AS TO CAUSE OF DEATH OF COW SETTLED BY AR­ BITRATION. Tte Arbitrators, After Hearing TestteHj, ADaw H. J. Gerilnger *7LM IiRarance. • Farmer* throughout thia entire northeast section of the county will be gratified to learn of the decided vic­ tory of H. J. Gerllnger as the Issue Involved was clearly a matter of jus­ tice between right and wrong. The result has been eagerly watched for by a very large number of policy bold­ er* in thia section, as It meant very much to every farmer Insured la thia company. It was either protection for the farmer who insured and pays for that insurance, or no protection and pay for the insurance just the same. On the night of July l«th, ISIS, durwhkh a very severe electrical storm passed over this section, killing a cow for H. J. Gerllnger. Secretory Kath­ erman was notified early the next morning and the same forenoon ac­ companied by Treasurer Velte they made an inspection of said cow, find­ ing her lying In Mr. Gerllnger’* barn­ yard about fifteen feet from the cor­ ner of the barn. Mr. Katherman after cutting the hide of said cow In tne neck and back, declared that she was not killed by lightning and that Mr. Gerllnger was at liberty to call any­ one whom he wished to determine the cause of death. Making the statement that he (Katherman) thought she probably was poisoned. Therefore Mr. Gerllnger called Dr. C. C. Petty, a li­ censed veterinary of Lake Odessa. The doctor held a post-mortem exanination of the aforesaid cow In which he found all the organs to be In a normal state, but the hide which was now Skinned showed unmistakable mark* of having been struck by light­ ning but a few Inches from the Incis­ ion which Katherman had made. The doctor advised Mr. Gerllnger that in his opinion the cow was with­ out doubt killed by a bolt of lightning. Mr. Gerllnger at once notified the sec­ retary, while the doctor was still there, of the findings made by the vet­ erinary and furthermore urged him to bring any other veterinary he wished and further inspect the hide and also lhe cow which was dissected but still was lying in the spot where she was killed. This proposition however he absolutely refused to accept, saying he would not chhnge his decision but that the matter must be settled by ar­ bitration. After waiting several weeks Mr. Gerllnger became impatient and noti­ fied the company by letter that an Im­ mediate settlement must be had, which promptly brought matters to a climax. The date for arbitration being set for Friday, Sept. 19th, at ten o'clock a. m., at the town hall, Woodland. The company was represented by Presi­ dent Lind of McCords, who was chair­ man of the proceeding*. The attorney for the company was C. 8. Palmerton of Woodland, who produced 8. D. Katherman and John Velte ns wit­ nesses. The claimant, Mr. Gerllnger, was represented by Attorney Thomas Johnson of teke Odessa. The followwere witnesses for claimant: Dr. Clarence C. Petty and Clarence Yager of Lake Odessa and J. B. Myers and Orley Gilliland of Woodland. The company chose Lafayette Parrott a* referee and Mr. Gerllnger chose Alvah Miller and these two chose ex-super­ visor, John Hines, as third referee. Thus the case rested In the hands of three capable, competent meh. who stand tor a Maar* teoL Space .for­ bids us to give all the testimony but briefly summed up it was as follows: Mr. Katherman relied chiefly on his twenty-six years of experience as ad­ juster as proof of his ability to pro­ nounce the cause of said cow’s death. Th© main factor being that this par­ . tlcular cow waa not found lying in the position he claimed ail lightning stricken cows he ever saw should be. Also in the Incisions made In the hide, he found no Indications of lightning stroke and thought the cow might have died of apoplexy. These theories were all exploded however in the ex­ pert testimony of Dr. Clarence C. Pet­ ty. when he, by his knowledge of med­ icine and science, proved beyond the slightest doubt In the minds of any present, that this cow in question was In an absolutely normal condition and also the condition of the blood found in the cow’s heart showed clearly that apoplexy nor any other disease could have been the cause of death and fur­ thermore that death was Instantane­ ous. The clots or spots found on the body and bide but a few inches from the place where Katherman had made the incision proved that death had been caused by an electrical shock. The doctor took the witness stand as an expert, and as such took the attor­ HASTINGS.

Thea He Would Row, Row, Row. It is a trifle late In the season for the manly youth, pretty maid, rippling water nnd skipping canoe romance and perhaps this fact had something to do with the rather unromantlc ending of a little cruise on old Thomnpple last Wednesday. Two well known high school stu­ dents acted as principals In tbe drama. In fact "the man In the case" has ac­ quired all the dignity and pomp of n senior but on the above mentioned day he so far fell from grace (and was caught at It) that he was relieved of further school duties for the day. Out of pure sympathy, of course, the sen­ ior’s very best lady friend also decid­ ed to neglect her pursuit of knowledge for tbe afternoon and a* canoe trip to Irving was decided upon os the prop­ er way to enjoy the autumn holiday. Cold printer's Ink is altogether In­ capable of expressing the joys and pleasures of this trip but as the pop­ ular song goes “they fooled around and then"—welt anyhow they fooled around until they arrived In Irving just too late to catch the train for Hasting*. Now it happens that even high school students* parents some­ time* make an effort to keep tab upon the whereabouts of their children and not having served notice upon afore­ said parents as to the trip, the two young people were somewhat “up against Lt" Mr. Senior tore his blond locks In desperation while his fair companion fought back her tears as the September gloom settled down over the village of Irving. AH this explains why the senior's chum received a hurry-up callrby phone to report at the earliest pofcslble moment, with his nulo. at Irving.1 But more trouble. The chum's auto was minus lights nnd It took time to secure other means of Illumination and in the meanwhile a dejected cou­ ple sat on the horseblock In front of the general store nnd read the Jaxon eoap signs on the hitching posts. But to make a long story short, the auto got there at last and a wild ride relumed the young lady to the arms of her parents before the searching part}’ got under way and, well—they say that canoe ride was worth It all any way.

Effort Is being directed at this time towards the securing of a competent blacksmith to locate in the village of Irving. In fact things have not look* cd so favorable for realising the de­ sires along tills line for a long time ns they do right now. Some few days ago n blacksmith was in our village looking over the site and we under­ stand that he still has this location iu mind. Now by all pulling together we may be able to secure a good compe­ tent blacksmith to locate In our midst. Tbe firm of Springer A Lake who have been engaged for the past season In tho gathering of medicinal roots and herbs for the eastern drug millers have had a fairly successful year. They claim, nevertheless, that the extreme­ ly dry weather shortened the crop of medicinal roots and herbs to a marked degree. Al this time Mr. John Spring­ er has had to discontinue his part In the work collecting herbs and bark and roots, since he has been taken with a rheumatic affliction the same with which he waa afflicted last sum­ mer only in a milder form. For that reason our townsman, David H. Lake, has of late been pursuing the trade alone. Last week David was over in the vicinity of Gun lake taking care of the crop of aacleplas tuberose, com­ monly known by the name of fever root The plan which he pursues is to start out with a light camping out­ fit which comprises aa A-tent seven by tine feet In dimensions, a cot and camp stove besides other few needful camp accessories. He also carries a supply of tools for securing this fever root. This Is prepared for shipment by drying out in a thorough manner, after which it is shipped away to the drug millers and no doubt comes bock to the one in need of medical treat­ ment In the form of powders and pills known by high sounding Latin or Greek names. Mr. lake Informs as that the golden seal plant root which he disposes of to these drug miners at the avoirdupois pound of sixteen ounces to the pound and at a moderate figure of about five dollars per pound is shipped back and* retailed at one dollar an ounce apothecaries* weight which weighs twelve ounces to the pound. He merely mentions that as an illustration to show that it la worth something to have the requisite knowledge to know how to compound drags. । ■one few days ago the writer visit­ ed tbe Irving village school and found everything progressing nicely under tbe able managsmaat of the teacher, Verne R. Johnsen The papite are In­ terested in their wort and are pursu­ ing tbelr atndlM with a diligent seal Mda fair for a soeeocaful school year. We understand that through the ef­ forts of County BCbeol Commlssloaer Eraeet J. Mger, our teacher tn haraoatous accord with tho other teach­ ers of Barry county schools. Is trying to atcure perfect attendance on the part of the pupils. In other words a plan Is being worked out having tor ttsmbjeet a reward system for all pu­ pils of tbe rural schools who are neither tardy nor absent for an entire month of school work. All pupils who have perfect attendance record each month are to be awarded a half holi­ day as a reward tor faithfulness. Buch a plan no doubt will do much towards bringing up tbe record of attendance. Mr. Johnson has a school of twentyone pupils aad has had a high percentego of attendance daring the mouth of ■eptember. Now foot a word In re­ gard to parents visiting our schoo*. Parents are always welcome vtelton at tbe school room and should bo enough interested in tbe preparation being made by tbelr children to make casual visits at tbe school wherein their loved ones spend so large a part of their time in training. We deem it highly incumbent upon all parents to become interested enough to visit tbe school from time to time end thereby acquire first hand and correct infor­ mation in regard to the training of tbe child. It does not make any differ­ ence whether you ever taught school or not That doos not bar any one from being a most welcome visitor at school. Even a novice In pedagogical rules and the theory and art of teach­ ing can tell at a glance and can gain impressions of correct school work, after a short visit in the school room. Items will appear every week In these columns telling of the work and the mental advancement made by the pnpils and It te hoped that enough en­ thusiasm may bo engendered among th* purenfi and patrons of district number eleven that ere the school year has passed one-half way on Its course that everyone may be enrolled on the visitor*’ rooter. Now according to a good psychological reasoning of tbe case such a visit han n double benefit. Not only does it enthuse the child with n desire to do commendable work aiid tend to show your child ns well as tie­ rest of tho chldlrcn that you arc Inter­ ested In seeing them do well, but 11 tends to cnthiiM* the teacher with add­ ed zeal and determination to do his utmost at all times. Just, try a per­ sonal visit to your school. Another state traveling library ar­ rived .Thursday and has been placed In the Irving M. E. Sunday school. Now these books are available to nil who have the Inclination to make use of them. If you care to read some good first-class stories of fiction by the best writers, or If you care to read works of historical worth, or subjects treating on inventions, the sciences, arts, or economics, or the biographies, call and get some of these books. These books are valuable to a com­ munity only when used by the resi­ dents. The evenings are becoming longer and from now on It Is to be ex­ pected that the fifty books sent to this place from Lansing will bo in good dtmand. The real value of a book for anyone is tho fact that time that might otherwise be wasted may be used In n way that is useful by perusing tbe pages of such a book as te suitable for the use of the individual. Mr. and Mrs. George H. Blowers were out to their farm home in Rut­ land Saturday moving tbe balance of their household goods to Irving for shipment to Grand Rapids. While here they Informed us that they bad disposed of their 80 acre farm for 33400 to Grand Rapids parties, Mr. and Mn. Blowers taking a bungalow on Shawmut avenue aa part payment. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Springer en­ tertained Mr*. Springer’s slater and family, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Gingrich, of Edmore, from Tuesday until Fri­ day of last week. Geo. H. Blowers and wife have dis­ posed of their 80 acre farm in Rut­ land to Frank H. Tobbes, of Grand Rapids, last week. Mrs. Cornelia Kennedy came home Bunday from a visit of several week* with her son Dudley A. Kennedy and family near Hastings. Word was received here Saturday morning of the sudden death of Robert Lampson, due to heart failure. The deceased te an uncle of the Lampson brothers of Irving and re­ sided some few years ago on tbe farm southwest of this place dow owned by W. A. Kent Work was commenced last week on the house of the late L. 8, Hill by Frank Damoth. The house te to un­ dergo some considerable repairs and remodeling, being fitted up by the present owners, tbe Albion college, for the occupancy of tbe premises by Irving Belta of East Thoraapple township. Last week Mr. Damoth commenced this work tearing away an addition on the south side of the building and we understand that the Improvements include the building of an eighteen foot porch, and the reshtegilng of -he house. In addition to the reshlngllng of the bouse the building te to have a now coat of paint over the exterior of the house. Since this 1s one of the pretty farm bouses of this locality these Improve­ ments will add greatly to the natural attractiveness of the place. This farm home of about one hundred sev­ enty-five acres has been in past years considered one of the desirable farms of Barry county. There te every reason to believe that this place can be fitted up in shape so that it nmy be once more classed among the really desirable farm residences.

In our opinion a short statement Indicating tte coat of the several largest jobs, more elaborately, would be read with Interest by taxpayers who would gel u better Idea of the true status of the finances of tbe city a* well as the work they are culled upon to pay for by their taxes. It must not be forgotten that the saloon license tax of 32,600 a year !• enirely eliminated. This tax was sufficient to do much of the city work. The fact too that city improvements bad been neglected, and that the streets had to be fixed as well as sidewalk grades for more than two miles of walk, as well a* street cross­ ings; all tend to make taxes high. Even then it must be. so far as streets are concerned, patch work, ns the funds will not admit of permanent improvements.

Aa a rule, tte wom­ en are supposed to bo tte "boos" of the comtry industry at tte farm home. Tte farmer can bay thorough­ bred stock and hogs, but -when tte wife wants tetter blood tor tte farm lock it te refused ter. I remember one Incident ttet dearly iUustratM thia. On* day I happened to visit a prosperous farmer and hl* wife, and naturally I was andon* to see tteir poultry, tor 1 bolter* that one of tte really sure way* of jndr tag a person to by the way ttey man­ age tteir poultry. I ted been tell­ ing the farmer and his wife of tte coops that I had built for my poultry, and was trying to explain to ttem bow much "handler" it was to hare the chicken* in coop* than In old bar­ rel* and boxes. The wife became Interested and asked me what my coops coat me. I told her that tt would take about *4.50 worth of material, nnd that tf ahe would get it. I would make ter a coop while I was there. She at once became very anxious io have a coop, but her husband didnt’ put much stock in those "new fangled coop* of yourn,” and said that he would make an "A" coop out of some old barrels that would be “just a* good" as my handy and sanitary coop. Is It any wonder that tbe housewife to not improving her poultry as fast as her husband Improves stock, when be refuse* to allow her to, and yet she ha* no objection when he wtebes to introduce new blood Into hl* herd. My , advice to farmers is to allow the wives to do what they wish with the poultry, and to be around when It comes time to clean the houses and coops. One cannot realize the bene­ fits to be derived from poultry until you go about it in a systematic way. Therefore, let everyone unite In giv­ ing Uncle Sam "better poultry and more of it." The lou of a little brown spaniel friend by tbe writer, brings to mind more vividly the “tribute to tte dog" by the late United State* Senator, Geo. G. Vest, of Missouri, who was de­ fending a client, whose dog had de­ fended hto master’s property by an assault on the intruder. The fact* were admitted, the dog wa* on trial tor hto life, which was demanded by the plaintiff. The mute appealing look of the dog a* he stood by the side of its master touched the heart of tte great man. and asking briefly tte sparing of the life of the animal won hto case by the following: "Tte best friend a man ba* in the world may turn against him, and be­ come his enemy. His son or daugh­ ter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happi­ ness and our good name, may become traitor* to their faith. The money that a man has. te may lose. It flies a way from him. perhaps when he need* it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed tn a moment of Illconsidered action. The people who are prone <to fall on tbelr knee* to do u* honor when success is with ns, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settle* its cloud upon our heads. "The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have In this selfish world, the one that never deserts him. the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stand* by him In prosperity and in poverty, in health and In sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely. If only he may­ be near his master's side. He will kiss tho hand that has no food to offer: he will lick the wound* and sore* that come In encounter with tbe roughness of the world.

A bill passed by the last session of tbe leg­ islature gives each board of super­ visors the right to employ a county sealer of weights and measures whos? duty it shall be to examine the scales and measure the baskets, receptacles, etc., used by the stores, producers and sellers of all kinds of grain, vege­ tables, provisions, etc., insuring full weights and full measures to the con­ sumers, who need a square deal In weight and measurement in this day ot high costs of living. Under the law two counties can join together and divide the expense of one man to perform the work in both counties. It is suggested that Ionia county, being joined with Mont­ calm in this judicial district, might willingly join with Montcalm in the support of a county sealer of weights and measures. Equipment worth 13,000 has been purchased by the state dairy and food deportment for inspectors who now set out to enforce the new weight And measure law. The properties acquir­ ed consist ot weights, measures and a doxen other tools for discovering whether the grocer or meat man is selling by short weight or is offering short quarts. The Inspectors em­ ployed by the dairy and food depart­ ment will make the inspections but on effort will be made to cooperate with the city and county sealer of weights and measures.

Any boy who was a ; boy in the last century can remember the Jelly enke that mother used to ; make. There were generally eight or nine layers of cake not very thick and the same number of layers of jelly which were nearly aa thick as the cake and thia Jelly waa real jelly made In the household from fruit Like the currant, the grape, the apple or the crab apple and It had no color In jt except that given to It by nature in her great laboratory. Naturally Jelly cake made from this kind ot Jelly be­ came a favorite human food and from the home It naturally gravitated to the bakery. Here, of course, com­ mercial processes began to cheapen Its coat and In order to cheapen Its cost material waa likewise cheapen­ ed. It was found that the use ot pure Irnlt jelly in commercial beked goods was expensive and in order to cut down the expense and thus increase the profit, substitutes were looked for and rs Is generally tbe case tbe sub­ stitute was found. There were placed on the market imitation jellies which had never seen any fruit. These Jel­ lies were made largely from glucose and dextrine. Glucose and dextrine are made solely from corn starch treated with muriatic acid, and never from any fruit. There was one defect, however, in the imitation Jellies. In their natural condition as they came from tbe manufacturer, they were col­ orless and so they were not attractive, but the thrifty business man soon ob­ viated this. Coal tar dyes furnish a large number of colors and soon we had the glucose Jelly colored with a red coal tar dye, and a liberal mixture of timothy seed added, put on the market as strawberry jelly. Other fruit colors were likewise Imitlated and the cheapness of these jellies drove the legitimate fruit jelly out of the market so far as the baked goods were concerned. 'Michigan Is tbe second largest frait growing state In the union and the legislature several years ago, in order to protect Its fruit growers, enacted stringent laws which prohibit the col­ oring of any glucose jelly in Imitation ot fruit jelly. The law has not been as vigorously enforced in the past as it should have been but it Is tbe in­ tention of this department to enforce tbe law In the future against the col­ oring of any jelly that is not a fruit jelly. When the consumer goes into a bake shop and sees a jelly roll of nice red jelly, he naturally concludes that It is. a fruit jelly when there is not a bit ot fruit used In its manufac­ ture. In this way the coloring of glu­ cose jellies becomes a fraud upon tbe consumer. There Is nothing whole­ some in glucose Jellies but when col­ ored to Imitate fruit jellies, they de­ ceive the consumer and cause him to pay a higher price for them than he otherwise would and this Is the reason that-the coloring of the Imitation jel­ lies Is wrong morally as well as legal­ ly. Bakers who use colored Imitation jellies are JusL as subject to the pen­ alties of the law as the manufacturer who colors them. Last year thousands of bushels of apples rotted on the ground for want of market. In many sections the elder mills refused to buy cider apples be­ cause there waa no profitable market for the cider and yet these mills are most of them equipped for making a superior quality of apple jelly from every bit of cider that can be manu­ factured. The reason they do not make it is because glucose jellies col­ ored to imitate fruit jellies can be sold cheaper than apple jellies and for this reason are largely used by the baking trade. AH interior apples in Michigan can readily find market at the cider mill were It not for the unfair compe­ tition ot colored glucose jellies and malt vinegar. In order that the Mich­ igan fruit grower may have a legiti­ mate market for his inferior apples and the Michigan consumer can re­ ceive pure fruit jellies and pure cider vinegar, this department will make a special effort in the future to enforce the laws covering tbe sale of jellies and vinegar* that are not made from actual fruit.

Democracy Venus Aristocracy Will Be Bls Subject. .Proceeds will G* to Leeal Churches. Dr. Evans at Gun lake, where he was enjoying an outing with a party of Y. M. C. A. people from southern Ohio. They wore so charmed with his personality and impressed with his eloquence which they had oppor­ tunity to hear, that they invited him to come to Hastings and give hl* lec­ ture. ’ So arrangement* have been made to permit all the men** societies of the various churches in Hasting* to par­ ticipate in the financial benefits. The lecture will be given in the M. E. church and the admission price will be distributed to representative* ot all the churches and the proceeds nt the sales will go to the churches mak­ ing the sales. For example, the pro­ ceeds of sales made by the Methodists will go to the Methodist church, those made by the Presbyterian* will go to the Presbyterian church, and bo on. The gentlemen who are bringing this great speaker here are meeting all the expenses and donating all the proceed* to the religious societies. Certainly this generous spirit de­ serves to be recognized by giving Dr. Evan* a crowded house. By do­ ing so we shall not only be giving ourselves an uplifting and lasting pleasure, but putting our stamp of approval upon a commendable ser­ vice to the community and its churches. Married on Saturday Evening. Through the liberality and public spirit of several of our cltlxens, the people ot Hasting* are to be given n rare intellectual and literary treat next Thursday evening, Oct. 16. Thia entertainment will consist in a lecture by one of the brightest young platform speakers in the coun­ try, Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans, who after making himself noted a* a gift­ ed speaker throughout Great Britain, came to the United States six year* ago, as pastor of the largest Congregational church in southern Ohio. Since coming to America he has made himself a name a* a pulpit orator and a chautauqua lecturer. Educated in a Scotch university, he was sent as special evangelist by the church of Scotland to the Shetland Islands, and for several years preach­ ed in all parts ot Great Britain. At Ballater he addressed Lord Knollys and many notable men. During the world-famous Welsh revival he spoke nightly to audiences ot five thousand in the Music Hall. Aberdeen. He Is now a contributor to the new Interna­ tional Bible Encyclopaedia, of which Dr. James Orr, of Glasgow Univers­ ity, Is editor. That he is a man of rare platform gifts may be judged by the fact that he succeeded Dr. Ed­ ward A. Steiner, the Lyceum star, friend ot Tolstoi, and author of “The Trail of the Immigrant,’* and other works of national popularity. He has held the same charge for five years, preaching to ever-increasing audi­ ences. For three successive seasons Mr. Evan* has lectured at the largest Chautauqua assembly in Ohio, In such big company a* Bryan, Hillis, Con­ well, Gunsaalus, and other* as well known. After his last appearance there the Dayton Journal said: “This young man from North Wales ha* left a deep Impression on the hearts and mind* ot the vast throng that heard him. Tall and angular, striking In appearance, with a rich Celtic voice. It 1* a treat to listen to him. He is alive to every shade of humor and pathos." . , Mr. Evan* lived for seven years as a near neighbor of William Ewart Gladstone, and bring* to Hasting* bls personal experience* with the great statesman. One of the moat start­ ling prophecies on record wa* made by Gladstone about America after the completion ot the Panama canal. If you hear thl* statement of the Grand Old Man you will understand the amazing genius that made him the first citizen of the world. There are many humorous passages in the lecture, largely drawn from personal experiences, as Mr. Evans has trav­ eled through practically every coun­ try In Europe. His Scotch stories are as true to life as Harry Lauder's, as he lived In Scotland for some years, and also in the Shetland Is­ land*. He Is to fill return engage­ ments next year to some of the larg­ est and most famous assemblies In the country. This lecture makes you think, and opens your eyes to what your own country really is. Mr. Evans’ subject here will be Aristocracy versus Democracy, said to compress ten years of education and a thousand years of human his­ tory into an hour and n quarter. Ac­ cording to The Lyceum Magazine it is "absolutely unique and different from any lyceum lecture In America today." Now the manner in which this ora­ tor has been Induced to give a lecture in Hastings Is this: During the sum­ mer several Hastings gentlemen met Mr. Clyde Gamble and Miss Belle Page were united in holy wedlock od -Saturday evening at eight o’clock, at the United Brethren parsonage, Claude Raymond and sister. Mis* Ma­ bel, acting as witnesses and also ns best man and maid. Both of these young people have a large number of friends in Hastings. They will make their home In the sec­ ond ward caring for the bride’s par­ ent* until spring. Rev. Ballou acted as officiating clergyman and in hl* congenial man­ ner sent them on their way rejoicing. Bapttst Church News.

The governor of tho province, Mr. Katerinltch, started out from Harkov la an automobile, accompanied by a mounted escort of the district chiefs of police. What befell bln is sot forth ta an authorised published de­ left. When a few miles outside the town tbe governor and his cortege passed through a village where a little girl, seated on tbe roadside, was making mud pies. “There the devil." says the narra­ tive, “entered the little body of Nata­ lia Kotatehsnko, aged five year*. She took up some dirty earth and threw It at the automobile and it fell on the governor's coat “The entire cortege halted. A police sergeant dismounted and made after the Ilttie girl, who ran screaming Into a kitchen-garden. A body of police surrounded the garden and she was —put under arrest Her mother, re­ turning from work In the fields, was also arrested, and bad to march un­ der armed guard for 12 versts to the chief of police station of tho dis­ trict. Tlie chief of police then sum­ moned nil the villager* to meet at once and decide what penance they would offer to palliate the enormity that had occurred within their com­ mune. “Meanwhile the little girl’s father, who was employed at the railway works al liarkov came home, and he, too, was arrested and marched off for 12 versts to the police office. A privale Inquiry was held ou him to learn whether he was a well-disposed or illdisposed person. He was released at three in the morning to find all the villagers up at a meeting summoned by tbe chief of police, who had a pe­ tition for them to present to the gov­ ernor craving forgiveness for little Natalia. He wished them to present it on their knees, but that they re­ fused to do." The Governor returned to Harkov next day, and they all stood uncovered oa the road with their petition. He looked the "other way and they had to shout "Wait, your excellency! Writ!" The villager* were then let go after a severe admonition on looking after children. But the mother was sen­ tenced to 15 days' Imprisonment.

There remain 682,000,000 acres of public lands. More than half these are in Alaska, but there are in the old United States enough lands to make ten states the size of New York. Rather more than enough land to make Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island was patented in the fiscal year 1911-12. Tbe remaining land, if it were all available, would support a sparse grain-growing population of 15,000.000, not counting some millions more in the cities created thereby; or a denser farming population of 60,000,000.

ARTHUR WALWYN EVANS “AWSTOCRACYANDDEIOCRACY” FOX SKELETON IN TREE FORK •ome Pennsylvania Naturalists Guees It Leaped There to Get Fowl ■nd Missed. Pittsburgh.—Local naturalists are guaaalng bow the skeleton of a fox got in the forks of a tree on the Clar­ ion river, near Cookaburg. The skele­ ton waa discovered by Charlee Gar­ land. a member of the Edgewood troop, Boy Scouts, in the coarse of a nature study ramble with Us com­ rades. The Scouts, during the weeks spent In the woods and fields, took every opportunity to study the ways of birds and animals, tbe characteriaUca of tree and plant life. They found boaaa at animals oaoaafcnally which they nlsreWlsd. but tbe fox skeleton wag tbe prise naluraliaUc discovery of the amateur research party. The skate ton wns that of a fox full grown and perfectly formed. Foxes, aa the Scout naturalists had often read, burrow boles in thd ground for their homes. Rarely are they known to leap Into a tree except per­ haps as a last resort when hunted by dogs. A* the boys sat around ths campfire evenings they spun theories aa to the possible fate of reynard. A few thought tbe fox bad jumped into tbe tree to elude pursuers, had hsoosse caaght in the forks of the tree sod had starved to death. Others sur­ mised the animal, sick or wounded, had climbed the tree and had chosen the tree forks as Its deathbed. fltill others advanced the explanre tkm that the sly and crafty terror of barpyards had jumped Into the tree to catch a stray fowl alighting on Ito branches and had slipped into the forks, which proved a trap from which (here was no escape.

Philadelphia.—Somewhere in the At­ lantic ocean, mastered by a maniac and manned by a frightened crew, the Norwegian bark Ravensport la rushing to destruction, according to a story told here by Captain Jansen of the steamship Admiral Schley, which ar­ rived from Jamaica. The Ravensport was bound from Dunkirk. Scotland, to a gulf port. On tbe voyage a giant Swede sailor be­ came Insane and cut and slashed the crew at will. He was captured, and confined after two of the crew* had been seriously injured. Captain Duus. master of the ship, put off In a small boat for Buff bay to get medical aid. Just as the yawl reached shore the maniac broke loose and commanded the crew to raise anchor. When they were unable to do so he ordered 'the chain broken. When Captain Duus saw his ship sailing away be started In pursuit in the small boat. A chase of ten miles wore out the men who were rowing and they were forced to turn back. Captain Duns believes that tbe maniac is speeding the ship to destruction on the shores of Cuba The Ravensport is a steel bark oi 1,642 gross tons and Is owned by Grestan ft Norlofean of Arendal.

Stebbins, In Her Opening Ad­ dress Urpd High Endenvnr, Right Right Ideals, Nsble Parp^e. The members of the club, and a few guests, met in the council room last Friday afternoon for the first meeting of the club year. Mrs. Myrtle Stebbins was not able to at­ tend. and Mrs. Woodmansee, the vice­ president, presided over the meeting. First came the reading of the Club Women's Collect which Is printed in the present year book. Mrs. Woodmansee informed the la­ dies that the club had been Invited to go to Charlotte on' Saturday, Oct 11th, as guests of the Charlotte Wo­ men’s Club. This Invitation was ex­ tended to the associate as well as the active members. The Hastings club has been asked to furnish the pro­ gram for that day, and in the evening the Charlotte ladies give a banquet in honor of their guests. After the usual business and a brief intermission, the program, with Miss Rose Goodyear in charge, was given. Roll call was responded to with “Incidents of Summer Days." In the absence of the president her address was read by Mrs. Woodman­ see. Mrs. Stebbins urged the club mem­ bers “to characterise the work of the coming year by high endeavor, right ideals, noble purpose, and love for mankind.” She advised the mem­ bers, In considering individual work, to remember that this club comprises 84 of the over 800,000 women repre­ sented ‘ In the General Federation. This body, working through its vari­ ous committee, works for the good of all. One of the speakers at the last biennial was quoted as saying that there had been two great events since the Civil War—organised wealth and organized women, women learn­ ing how to work together. Mrs. Steb­ bins urged as many members as could to attend the coming federation meet­ ing at Muskegon. She spoke of the need of free discussion of the meas­ ures brought before the club and called the attention of the members to some of the Important articles ot association and by-laws. A careful study of these last will enable the members to fulfill tbe obligations laid upon them by these rules of the organization. A plea waa made for early meetings of the various commit­ tees that the work of the year might be planned. All of these suggestions were made, not In a spirit of criti­ cism, but because ot a desire that the club may steadily progress. The address closed with “In my heart I have profound gratitude for each and every member who has helped to make my club work a pleasure rather than a burden, and because of your past willingness to do, I am ventur­ ing to ask still more for the- coming year." Mrs. Ellen Robinson took the place of Mrs. Hayes and gave an interest­ ing paper concerning La Purlsima Concepcion, a ruined old mission lo­ cated near the town Lompoc, Calif. A generous tribute was paid to the self-sacrificing and devoted Francis­ can Fathers who established along El Camino Real the mission extending from Ban Diego to Ban Francisco. Foremost among these qxen was Padre Junipero Berra. A few of the historic structures have been re­ stored and are now used for religious purposes or kept as mementoes of historic value. Many more are in ruins, and that Is the state of La Purislma. From • 1787 to 1812 this mission enjoyed great prosperity, aa was evidenced by the vast herds of cattle and sheep gathered there and the immense crops of grain raised. About 1500 converts worshipped at the shrine of the church. The great earthquake of 1812 almost totally de­ stroyed the structure. Tlie Indians were wild with fear, many of them fleeing, others remaining, as they thought the day of judgment had come. Their beloved priest. Father Pnyeras, yielded to the fears of the Indians and built the church which replaced the one destroyed on the north side of the valley, six miles from the old one. This church is now a ruin. In Dec. 1912, a large concrete cross was erected on the brow* of the hill just above the ruins of the old mission. The erection and dedication of this was in commemoration of the 125th anniversary of the founding of La Furlsma and also of the 100th anni­ versary of the great earthquake. At the close of the meeting the club members and their guests enjoyed n social hour. Grapes were served. Csunty Treasurer's Report.

Beginning October 1st the slaughter of migratory birds in the United States will be regulated by federal statutes. Thia takes the plsce of state laws. A short synopsis of the law is: The enforcement of the laws has been placed In the hands of the bu­ reau ot biological survey of the de­ partment ot agriculture, and the game wardens who have acted In the past in seeing that the state laws were en­ forced will also enforce the federal statutes. > The new taw governs the killing of all water fowls, rail, woodcock and shore birds. Hereafter there will be no spring season for hunting the above birds and the fall seasons have been limited. Ducks, geese and brant may be shot between September 1 and December 15; rails and coos, between September 1 and November 30; wood­ cock from October 1 to November 30: black breasted and golden plover, jack snipe, Wilson snipe and greater or lesser yellow legs from September 1 to December 15. Tbe bunting of migratory birds on the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers is also prohibited at any time. The killing of wood ducks is prohib­ ited until the 1018 season. Local hunters are not pleased with the new law. Many more changes may be made, and the hunting of birds greatly restricted. One feature about the new law is that as yet no limit has been placed on the number of birds that may be killed In any one day. The changeable weather of early fall brings on coughs and colds that have a weakening effect on the sys­ tem. and may become chronic. Use Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound. It has a very soothing and healing effect on the irritated and inflamed air pass­ ages. and will belp very qniekly. It is a well known family medicine that gives results. A. E. Mulholland.

What the New Tariff Law Is. \ The new Wilson-Underwood-SIm­ mons tariff law, is the flrot tariff act passed by the democrats in 18 years, the first for nearly half a century to cause any considerable reduction In Import duties, and it provides for a shirting of over 8100.000,000 of the burdens of taxation. Following are a few of Its figures: Reduces the average import duty from 37 to 27 per cent Adds annual imports worth 8147,­ 000,000 to free list. Reduces tariff revenue from 8305,­ 000,000 to an estimated 8248,000,000 a year. Increases government revenue from Income and corporation tax from 837,­ 000,000 to 8122.000.000. Admits imports valued at a billion dollars anually free of all duty. The passage of the bill, will reduce the cost of living because of the fol­ lowing features: A reduction of nearly one-half in the average tariff on foodstuffs and farm products. The placing of raw wool on the free list, and a reduction of nearly two-thirds in the tariff on woolen clothing, especially of the cheaper grades. A reduction of one-third (average) on cotton clothing. Redaction of the sugar tariff and its ultimate abolishment in 1916. A reduction of one-third (average) in the tariff on earthware and glass­ ware. Abolishment of al) tariff on meals, fish, dairy products, flour, potatoes, coal, Iron ore, lumber and many classes of farm and office machinery. General tariff reduction on all Im­ portant articles ln genera] use. Use our want ads. for results. �■ESTIEOT JirillLimil, THCESEAT, OCTOBEB », 1>11.

Here is Snider’s story: "Tbe great Panama canal is soon to be opened to the traffic ot the world, and the big ditch connecting the low­ er river* with St Andrew’s bay also, both of which mean much tor the commercial development of tbe coun­ try. especially the south. Govern­ ment engineers will come la. doubt­ less, for all the praise, when, as a matter of fact, tbe country is indebt­ ed to me for these two gigantic devel­ opments, both of which were mad’ possible by my effort*. “As It 1* well known, the French and English engineers had long since given up the idea of constructing the Panama canal, owing to the fact that they were unable to devise a means of controlling the mad waters of the Chagres river, which are known to be quite treacherous. These engi­ neers abandoned all hope of building a canal, as did also the engineer of the United States early in 1900. "In the year 1908, after months ot careful study, I mapped out a plan for the construction of a canal al Port Limon, with tbe idea of putting in locks, etc., and suggesting that tbe engineer* tunnel through the side of the mountain at that place. My plans called for the use of waler for driving the large pumps to give power to the operating locks, furnish­ ing lights, etc. Complete to every de­ tail, I sent my plan* to a congress­ man in Washington, with a request that he go over them with President Roosevelt "1 have never heard from them •Ince, but today the government la following the plan I suggested almoat to the letter, the only change* being in the location ot the canal and the utilisation of water in generating electricity to operate ships by cart, which will require fourteeen houra to pass through the canal, while my plans called for the operation of ves­ sels by their own power, which would have enabled them to run through the canal in three or four hours’ time. 1 have asked no credit Tbe govern­ ment has offered me none. "The canal would have been a dead issue bad It not been for the light which my plans threw on tbe subject. No engineer can deny this fact While I shall take no action In the matter at this late day, I think 1 am entitled to due credit for my part in these two great enterprises, which will mean so much for this country.

"The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse'' for language. Hildrod Roush, Teacher. For this I do know. ' God’s patient love perceives Not what we did. But what wA tried to do. Garlic and Long Life. Professor Gundruni, of Berlin, tells us that If we yearn to reach a green —or ripe—old age we ought to frequenily eat garlic In some form— raw or cooked or mingled with some other article. He says the Bulgari­ ans follow this recipe, and hence often attain the century mark and more. The professor does not tell us to add sour milk to our diet—Pro­ fessor Elie Metchnlkoff tells us that Nor does he tell us to eat an onion a day. Dr. Mary Walker gives us that advice. If we follow all three sys­ tems we may live long—but It'll be a lonely life we'll lead, don't you fancy? And some of us won't be able to en­ dure the ostracism of our fellow*, will we? And, come to think of It, no centenarian outside of Bulgaria has yet Indorsed in practice ProfesBor Gundrum's advice. So let’s wait a while before starting a raid on tbe garlic patch. Henry A.

Per th* Blftht W* UMarst*** A Wonderful AchlevemeuL Among the epoch making events which have transpired during the Inst fifty yean, none will be counted great­ er as the years roll by than the build­ ing of the Panama canal. Hence the real significance of the simple act of President Wilson In pressing the but­ ton that resulted in tearing away tho barrier that held back the waters of Gatun lake is immeasurabel. It was the beginning of the end of a stupen­ dous accomplishment Only a little more work, comparatively speaking, remains to be done before the canal will become available for the passage of ships from the one ocean to the other. The real greatness of this achieve­ ment has not consisted so much in the intricacy and difficulty of the engi­ neering problems it presented, as In their magnitude, and in the obstacles which tropical nature opposes to the frailty of man. The digging of a big ditch and the construction of locks are not In themselves formidable to mod­ ern engineers. But the tremendous volume of earth and rock to be re­ moved, the torrential river that had to be subdued, the gigantic locks that had to be constructed, the dishearten­ ing earth slides that nearly doubled the work, and above all the deadly cli­ mate that had to be conquered Invest­ ed the whole project with a mountain of difficulty that challenged the re­ sources, the courage, the skill and the indomitable pluck of America’s great­ est engineers. The French tried the task, and after sacrificing hundreds of lives and millions of money were forced to give it up. The United States haa tried it, and. by first conquering the pestilence-breeding climate has succeeded. . It Is therefore a glorious achieve­ ment of American skill, pluck and ad­ ministrative genius, considering tho ' canal only as a demonstration of what can be done in the engineering field. But what this achievement means to . A future commerce, future development, future civilisation, cannot be eatimated nor,comprehended at this time. It . '< will revolutionise the world's com­ merce. It will bring the natioas of the world closer together. It will ( stimulate international competition and international friendship. It will bring New York and San Francisco seven thousand miles nearer by water. * It will, bring the west coast of South . i America from sis to eight thousand . miles nearer to our markets. It will .. divert much of the ocean commerce that now passes between the Occident and the Orient through the Sues 7 canal, to the westward. .We Americans, therefore, who have ■ j, lived In' an age of such wonderful 'r achievements In every field of human . endeavor that we can hardly realise .’•? the beneficent influence of It all upon , • the progress and welfare of the race, should congratulate ourselves that tha Panama canal has been built within our own wonderful day. . *s '. ' * . • . ■ ' Wte Is From the Detroit Tribune we clip the following: An old bull moose, one of the silver grays, whose habitation Is Waahtenaw county, and who Is pretty well known to the elders of the G. 0. P. throughout the state was talking tar­ iff politics while in Detroit a few days ago. Said he: “I read that my young friend, WilHam Alden Smith, and my older friend, Joe Fordney, have been mak­ Ing speeches down in congress rasp­ Ing the democrats for passing the new tariff bill. Now, don't jump at the conclusion that I'm defending the democrats' tariff bllL I'm neither de­ fending nor knocking IL I’m wish­ Ing as we!) for it as any man. But, What I cant help thinking Is thaL in 1908, our grand old party—I don't roll It that in a sarcastic spirit for I was one of It then and had been for more than 40 years—declared, at its : national convention for a revision of the tariff downward. The old party । swept the country at the election ■ that year. We secured a majority of 50 In the national house over the democrats. We passed the PayneAldrich bill. I know some of our leaders say it was a revision down­ ward as our party platform prom­ ised. 1 won’t argue with them on that point But, I assert that there was a powerful sentiment throughout the country that the Payne-Aldrich bill was not a revision downwards, and that our old party had failed to observe Its convention pledge. What followed? Why two years later the democrats swept the country and the majority In the national bouse was changed from 50 republican to 68 democrat. Last year the democrats carried the country on a platform to reduce the tariff downward. Nobody Is saying they have not done so in the Underwood-Bhnmons bill. So, entirdy aside from the merits of either act. It seems quite plain to me that our party was condemned at the polls In 1910 because it failed to fulfill the promise It made In Its 1908 platform to revise the tariff downward, while my friends, Wllllmn Alden and Ford­ ney, nre rasping the democrats for carrying out the democrat national convention promises made last year for a revision downward. Self Interest Is Cause. It is not difficult to account for the opposition of the bankers to the Glass currency bill. The true Inwardness of their objection la the control of the currency by the government, in­ stead, as now. by the bankers. The corporations yield very grudgingly any assumed or vested rights; the strangle hold they have had on busi­ ness will not be given up by the banks without a struggle. They subtly keep their real reason In the back ground and put forth every plea which may Influence a vote in the senate. Mr. Untermeyer of the House, character­ izes the opposition, as the most plaus­ ible, powerful and resourceful of mon In the country,—grand past masters in the art of manufacturing public sen­ timent Wall Street has controlled so long that a change to a rule by the people seems to set them frantic with fear. The proposed new law will provide for regional zones which will be alloted, according to their needs, with sufficient currency to provide for prompt removal and sale of prod­ ucts. This will Insure cheap money at all times, and it will be elastic so that when not needed It can be re­ funded. Democracy in redeeming its platform pledges. Is proving to the people it can be trusted. "Equal rights to all; special privileges to none," was intended to cover the currency question as well as other industries. If Not, Why Natl A great howl is being raised be­ cause the democrats are about to fill offices of deputy United States mar­ shal and revenue tax collectors, with democrats. Why not? It happens the republicans have been holding these offices for twenty years, to th« exclusion of every democrat at the commencement of Harrison’s admin­ istration. Scarcely tour months elapsed before the Cleveland demo­ cratic office holders were bounced; again on the eve of McKinley's term the official bouncer was kept In good working order until there wu no longer any democratic timber left. Now that the tables are turned, the discredited republican party, who were able to carry but two small states are bemoaning the cruelty of the victorious party in scraping off the barnacles, who in a great measure are responsible for the party’s down­ fall.

Dorcas Howell Lancaster was bom in Barryvllle, Barry county, Dec. 7, 1876, and died at her home in Hast­ ings Friday night, Oct. 10, 1918. On June 11, 1893, she was united in marriage to Adelbert Lancaster and to this union were born five children, two sons and three daughters, four of whom are yet living. Eleven years ago the family moved to Hastings where they have since re­ sided and have been esteemed by their many friend!. The deceased was taken suddenly 111 on Friday morning and lived but a few hours. Her unexpected and un­ timely demise proved to be an awful shock both to the family and commun­ ity. She was a kind, loving mother, a true and affectionate companion, and a froceful, benevolent neighbor. She became a member of the Meth­ odist Episcopal ehurch some years ago while living in the place of her youth. A father and son preceded her to the spirit world and a mother, two broth­ ers, two sisters, four children and a companion, with other relatives and friends, are left to mourn.

HERO 11 1 SKIFF Cripple Rowed Through Gulf Storm to Save Ship. Thomas A. Wells of Texas Town Pad­ dles Frail Canoe Eight Miles in Raging 8ea to Got Help for Rudderless Vassal. RETURN OF HANY BIRDS New York Naturalists Report Species That Have Been Missing for Yearn Coming Back. Albany, N. Y.—It appears that birds arc becoming more numerous in New Yoric state. This applies not only to tbe ordinary kinds, but to rare species u well. These facto are set forth in a report made to the conservation department by George F. Guelph, a naturalist, of Brockport. Monroe county. Mr. Guelph for two years has given the public tbe benefit of his observa­ tions of bird migration along the shores of Lake Ontario. In this year’s report he mentions having seen species that have for many years been almost or wholly unknown In this part ot the country. There are now more than 300 species of birds which may be looked for regularly along the lake during the time of migration, Mr. Guelph re­ ports. There are also about twenty species that can be seen occasionally, and twelve which have been seen but a few times and are rare. A Hudson curlew, a wiltet, and a knot, birds rarely found in western New York, were seen there this year, Mr. Guelph says. The knot is a bird that goes far Into tbe Arctic regions to breed, and It migrates in winter to the extreme southern part of Booth America. A blue goose, one ef the rarest of the larger water fowl, also was seen this year. There are only six records of its having been seen before in this state. ’ Gallinules, or “mud hens," are more plentiful this season than for several years. Black ducks have been com­ mon throughout the season. Mr. Guelph says, and early ducks are more plentiful now than they have been for a long time. Mr. Guelph says that probably there will be good duck shooting when tbe season opens.

Good­ year, was married last Saturday morning. The Lima Dally News of October 11th, gives the following account of the wedding, which will Interest Dwight’s many friends in his home town all of whom will join us in con­ gratulations: Lima society was surprised today at the news from Wapakoneta of the marriage of Dwight L. Goodyear, president of Shawnee Country Club, prominent clubman, and head of tho big Consolidated Lima Truck com­ pany to Mrs. Estelle Parkinson of Wapakoneta, Ohio. The marriage occurred in the pres­ ence of only a half dozen near-relai tives of the couple and was sol­ emnised at eleven o'clock by a Wa­ pakoneta divine at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. C. E. Reid, 41V Pearl street, Wapakoneta. Immediately following the cere­ mony and the luncheon that was served, at its conclusion, Mr. and Mrs. Goodyear left for a short visit with a sister of the bride, Mrs. John Martin, of New Statesville, Ohio. Later they will go to Cincinnati thence to Chicago, and they will also visit at Hastings, Mich., the old home of Mr. Goodyear, before returning to Ums. The bride, who Is a very attractive blonde, wore her traveling suit of dark tones, and a black velvet hat, that contrasted with ber golden hair very effectively. She Is a member of one of the old and prominent families of Wapakoneta, but for the past year lias been in Lima, being private secre­ tary ot Mr. T. P. Riddle, grain broker. Mrs. Parkinson while employed in Lima has made her home with her mother, going back and forth each day by traction, but during her short stays here she had made many friends who will be glad to welcome her to the city as a permanent resident. Dwight Goodyear, of the firm of Goodyear & Harley has been in this city for the past ten years or longer. He was first Identified with oil Inter­ ests but later became associated with Mr. Harley in The Lima Truck Com­ pany. During his residence here he has been prominent socially, politically and in business and lodge circles. A former member of tlie city council, and candidate for mayor at the last municipal election Mr. Goodyear has affi|ialed himself with all the public Interests of his adopted city, being now president ot Shawnee Country Club. Witnesses of this quiet ceremony o* this morning were Mr. and Mrs. Good­ year, of Hastings, Mich., brother of the bride, and Miss Ada Zangleln, an Intimate friend of tbe bride. Drath of Mrs. Nathan Harlow. The friends ot Mrs. Nathan Barlow were shocked Tuesday afternoon to receive telegrams from Royce Bar­ low. of Chicago, saying that his moth­ er had passed away. Mrs. Barlow, who spent most of tbe summer here, returned to her son's home in Chi­ cago early in August Her health had not been very good for some time but no one supposed that her I life was so near Its close. Mrs. Hannah Barlow was one of the early settlers ot Hastings, having come here with her family when she was a young girl. Her long, useful life has been closely Identified with the life of this city during all these years and her going leaves many saddened hearts. The funeral will be held from Em­ manuel church at two o'clock this af­ ternoon. We hope to publish a more adequate notice ot thia estimable woman next week. flapervlMrs At Their Work. The annual session of the board of suprvisors was called to order by County Clerk Andrus, Monday after­ noon. An unusual number of new faces were to be seen as the names were called, and several of the old timers, like James Young and Daniel Klingensmith were conspicuous by their absence. There are eight new members, as follows:—Rensch, ot Irving, democrat; Fuller, of Carlton, democrat; Ritchie, of Orangeville, re­ publican; Brown, of Orangeville, re­ publican; Pennels, of Hope, demo­ crat; Hinkley, of Maple Grove, demo­ crat; Miller, of Johnstown and Tomp­ kins, of Assyria, republican. The first business was to elect n permanent chairman, and Birney Mc­ Intyre. of Hastings township, was ac­ corded that honor on the first ballot The board has settled down to de­ tail work, in committees. We pub­ lish elsewhere the list of standing committees. Tomorrow the board will make their annual visit to the poor farm. The election of members of the board of school examiners and super­ intendent of the poor will be held next week. Webster Hastings’ term ns school examiner and Gilbert Striker's as superintendent of the poor expire nnd there are several candidates for both places. The elec­ tion of a janitor will also be held, but it secins io be a foregone conclusion that "Uncle Charley" Andrus will be unanimously elected to continue on the job he fills so well. Won Their Fist Game. For the first time in several seasons Hastings high school has turned out a gridiron representation that gives promise of making a creditable show­ ing against the schools In this vicini­ ty. The following report of Satur­ day's game was contributed by a high school student and gives a de­ tailed account of the contest There were no individual stars In the open­ ing game but the work of the team as a whole was creditable. The football season opened with a victory for Hastings High against Grand Rapids Central High Reserves by the score of $ to 0. About 100 students turned out and led by Mr. Mercer as "Yell Master” cheered the team on to victory. At the beginning, by a flip of a coin, Hastings had first choice and they kicked to Grand Rapids. Grand Rap­ ids used line smashes and end runs but the home boys held them. The ball went over to Hastings and Brown punted. Grand Rapids was again downed on their 30 yard line. The ball was again In Hastings posses­ sion and by lint smashes and end runs, drew near the goal. A last lino smash and they were over, Brown missed kicking goal on account of the strong wind. In the second quarter they changed goals and Grand Rapids kicked to Hasting*. They fought back and forth in tbe center of the field. Hastings used line plunges while Grand Rapids tried forward passes. In the third quarter Grand Rapids again resorted to forward passes but gained but very little ground. In the last quarter the ball was set In play at the center ot the field and Brown punted down the field. Forward passes were again used by Grand Rapids. Leonard collided with Grand Rapids quarterback while in pursuit of an incomplete forward puss. They both had to be taken from the game. Garland replaced Leonard at half while Roush took his place at end. In the last half Coleman replaced Houvener at right tackle. Hastingi High goes to Eaton Rap­ ids Saturday for the next game. Fire Destroyed Dewllng Residraee. Fire starting from an overheated stovepipe destroyed the residence of William Herrington In Dowling at eight o’clock Tuesday morning. The alarm was telephoned throughout the neighborhood and nearly 100 farmers gathered to fight the flames. They succeeded In saving the majority of the household goods but the housu burned to the ground. The loss is estimated at $1,500, with $900 Insurance in the Barry & Eaton.

Albert, or as he was commonly known, Bert Radford was found yes­ terday rooming about six o'clock by his mother, Mrs. Jane Radford, lying on tho kitchen floor dead. Bert had been under the doctor's care for a few days, but was able to be about and had been down town during the afternoon. He seemed to be having trouble with rheumatism In the hips and after­ wards in his arm. Dr. Sheffield had been called and In the evening gave him a treatment to relieve his suffer­ ing, administering a hypodermic in­ jection. There seemed to be no symp­ toms that caused any alarm, and Bert retired. He must have arisen in the night and dressed, and when on bls way Into the kitchen, he was suddenly stricken with heart failure and dropped dead upon the floor. Bert who was un­ married, lived alone with his toother and when the latter arose in the morning she was shocked to find that Death had made his sudden visitation in the night and bereft her of ber son. Albert Radford was 37 yean old, having been born in this city Aug. 19, 1876. He was a blacksmith by trade and worked for his brother, James E. Besides his aged mother, he leaves two brothers, James and Clarence. He was of a quiet and retiring dis­ position and was greatly esteemed by those who were familiar with him. The funeral will be held from the home, 546 North Boltwood street, to­ morrow at 2:00 o’clock. A Real Eeeaemy Offering.

Oh, yes, ths sweet­ time. sation, in spite of the vigorous and often successful efforts to restrain it. asserts a writer in the Popular Sci­ ence Monthly, and asks why. He dis­ misses as valueless the theory that men drink “to drown sorrow.” The desire for alcoholic drinks, the writer asserts, is as strong among the classes living in luxuary as It is among the plodding, underpaid labor­ ers. The drink motive, therefore, must be more basic, more universal, he says. The writer, Prof. G. T. W. Patrick, finds this drink motive In the “storm and stress" of modern life on the one hand and In the lack of proper relax­ ation afforded by modern society on the other. As civilisation advances, he says, life becomes more and more Intense. Progress drives mankind on with a "relentless whig.” It de­ mands “ever greater and greater specialization, application, concen­ tration, and powers of conceptual analysis.” Against this "ceaseless urging” the tired brain rebels. It cries out for rest and relaxation. It to at- this point that the alcohol mo­ tive springs Into being. The kind of rest and relaxation which the overstrained brain demands is best supplied by wholesome out­ door sport and play. That kind of relaxation tends to put the higher brain centers to sleep, says the writer, "while providing employment TWO CMVEMTIORS OF CREAT MT ClttLWARJNIHCEIISES It takes good aoaey to keep your homo warm In winter.

Tbe causes which led to the great flood in the Ohio Valley last spring, the looses therefrom, and tbe preven­ tton of damage by future floods are discussed In the timely report jut issued by tbe United States Geological Survey as the result of a field investi­ gation of the districts affected and a study of the records ot precipitation, run-off, and stream flow. While the flood of 1912 waa the most destructive that has ever visited the Ohio Valley, it ta pointed out that floods of the Ohio are now the rule rather than the exception and that the problem of preventing flood damage Is a vital one, pressing for solution. In no year since 1879 has Ohio River failed to overflow its banks at some point along Ito course and flood large areas, and In some years the flooding has been repeated five times. The actual material Iocs on account of the recent flood is more than 8200.M9.00. without considering Indirect losses of the loss of life. A distinction is made between the prevention of floods and the preven­ tion of damage by floods in order to bring out forcibly the obvious idea that excessive rainfall and tbe accu­ mulation of excessively large volumes of surface water in river basins can not be prevented, but that the thing to strive for Is to prevent tbe great damage done by flood water all along the river’s course. The two means of preventing damage by floods that are moat discussed and that are stated to be unquestionably the best and most reliable are levees and storage reser­ voirs, although forests are also promi­ nently mentioned. The Geological Survey points out, however, that to guard against tbe most destructive floods all available preventive meas­ ures mast be employed and that no one alone can possibly be adequate. In analyzing the figures showing the volume of tbe floods of various years at Cincinnati it la Interesting to note that to have kept the highest flood on record at that city below the danger line it would have been neces­ sary to hold back above Cincinnati 216,000 million cubic feet of water, representing the dangerous crest or top of the flood—tbe accumulated excess during the 10 days that the ed. Such a central organisation would necessarily have to be Federal, but it could not be successful without broad-minded, hearty, and unselfish co-operation on the part of the states, counties, municipalities, and private interests throughout the Ohio Valley.

Hastings, Michigan Tbe writers ot the bulletin endeav­ or to show that most of tbe defects complained ot by the school patrons —poor teaching, low salaries, lack of thoroughness in the common branches few special subjects, work not ad­ vanced enough—are inherent in a system of one-room country schools, and that the way to remedy thq sit­ uation Is to have fewer and better schools, with transportation furnished to pupils living at a distance. It la pointed oat that the rural school conditions found In this Mary­ land county are by no means peculiar to it, but are typical ot what is still found in country districts elsewhere. In several respects Montgomery coun­ ty is superior to other rural locali­ ties in its educational facilities. It has, for Instance, a school yea" ot IM days, aa compared to terms as low as 40 days in parts of some states, and like every other Maryland coun­ ty, it has county supervision of schools, which educators consider the most effective means of building up rural education. To make the one-room rural schools as efficient as possible, but to do away with them by consolidation wherever practicable, Is the motto the rural school Improvers have adopted. Constant improvement ta reported In the facilities offered by the oneroom rural school, particularly In re­ lating to farm needs, but side by side with this Improvement has gone the movement for consolida­ tion. until there are now several thousand consolidated schools in the United States.

Surprising a* It may seem to many who have associated the Great White Plague with crowded tenement houses and half starved children, statistics show that tuberculosis I* not entirely a disease of the city. The percentage of deaths which occur in the country district* where one should be able to live most healthfully, is absolutely appalling. From reports given ta the Bulletin of Vital Statistic* the State Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis has figured that out of a population of 1334,148 in all cities and 1,478,02b in the coun­ try districts, there occurred during the first six months of this year, 807 deaths from tuberculosis in the cities; 569 deaths from tuberculosis In tho country; the annual death rate be­ ing 90.3 per 100,000 population in the city; 65.4 per 100,000 population in the country. The State Association attributes tho high figures for the country, partly to the fact that In many cities active tuberculosis work Is being carried ou, while but little baa been done in this line in the country districts. Many country people have not yet learned the necessity of fresh air and sun­ shine in the house. Too many still sleep with bedroom windows closed at night, or curtain* pulled down ro keep out the sunlight by day, and It is often true that overcrowding in tbe farm house 1* just as great as in the city. Another reason for tbe prevalence of tuberculosis In the country to the tack of protection from flies. The barn* and outhouses furnish excel­ lent breeding places for flies and. many farmers take no measures to stop them from breeding, apparently considering these pests to be a sort of necessary evil. We must carry the campaign - of education into the rural districts and persuade those who have the advant­ ages of farm life, to use their privi­ lege* ot sunshine and fresh air to the best advantage.

Asked to enlarge, most of us would launch Into a formidable diseource nnent tin* evils of trusts, the inhernni privilege of Use retailer to buy and sell without restriction, am! the con­ stitutional right of the plain citizen to buy of the lowest seller. Price fixing Is the favorite method of tlie iiioaopolistlc plundcrbund in their incursions into our pockets. Therefore the very mention of nn established, arbitrary price Is odious. As free-borns, we ap­ plaud ourselves and are content. Here is one that would hove puzzled lhe ready Murphy. “When Is a "fixed" price variable?” L^t us help him. A fixed price is variable when <• group of gentlemen who make bath tubs! or roll cigarettes or produce oil $ say to the little fellow who sells these commodities to us: "Listen, Jimmie. That Insignificant rant around the corner (who doesn’t handle OUR bath tubs or cigarettes or oil). Is selling HIS goods for five cents less than we bare instructed you to charge. So drop your price seven cent* thia month. In a couple of months he will be forced oat of busi­ ness, for he's getting only a one-cent profit now and can’t go any lower, not having the backing that we have. Then, when he's out of the way, you may raise the price ten cents. And. mind you, don't dare to sell for less than that until you get further In­ structions from us." And when is a fixed price malntained? A fixed price Is maintained when a man who makes breakfast food or watches or underwear says to tbe re­ tailer who handles his line: “As the sponsor of this merchan­ dise. I have a duty to the consumer, who believes In the honesty of my advertisements; and a duty to my reputation, without which I can't stay in business. I have figured out Just bow much profit you are entitled to In justice to you and have set a price ac­ cordingly. Please sell my goods AL­ WAYS at this price. “And, mind you, don't trade on w reputation and charge more than this j amount Don’t advertise my break­ fast food (or watch, or underwear) for less than tbe standard price, with the Idas of actually LOSING MONEY on MY merchandise and making it up by doubling your profit on unknown goods that the customer may buy while he is in your store. “Yon. know—and tbe public knows —that my goods are worth the stand­ ard price that I have set for them and mean to maintain. Otherwise I could not have withstood competition all these years. You have a right to car­ ry on YOUR business in your own way, but you have no right to juggle my trade mark to bait customers, who must give you an average profit some­ how or other in the end. “These people are MY customers, and the public will eventually learn how tbe bargain seller is able to dis­ pose of some goods at a loss and eventually get out of all his merchan­ dise the desired profit, which means­ undercharge here, overcharge there." All of which leads us to ask. “What Is a bargain r of a bill pending in congress to re­ duce “the unthinking slaughter of calves, especially heifer calves." It is stated that 8JM0.000 calves are slaughtered annually. Just how n very paternal government can compel farmers to raise calves is a puxsle. A good deal might be done by the government to help destroy the cat­ tle tick in the south, a* that “ would materially encourage breeding and raising cattle. The meat packers, of course, are financially interested in having the fanners keep up the supply of beef arrivals. Without them their business is done for. 8o they plan for a prosperous future of their business with the slogan: “, Cheap meat and plenty of it if we want to sustain the vitality of the nation."

The district at now outlined is very doee. and much will depend on the personal popularity of the candi date. There will be a hot scrap on in the second and third districts; the third already contesting for a seat in the present congress. The fourth, which usually was only a question of republican majority, was badly torn up by republican de­ fection, barely pulling Hamilton in by less than 500 plurality, where pre­ viously he had 5,000 majority. Had the friends of the democratic candi­ date, Mr. Beebe of Mendon, been aware of the full measure of detection they could have accomplished the de­ feat of the useless representative from Niles. If democrats could quit their strap­ ping In tbe fifth district for at least one campaign they could certainty elect a congressman who would rep­ resent the whole people Instead of * faction. We might go through the whole state and find other districts which might give prospects of democratic seats In the next congress, but are not familiar with the situation. Tbe uncalled for and unseemly scrap by party officials should be promptly suppressed, and they must be If winning Is desired.

Twenty­ seven students were enrolled Id the class with excellent results. In com­ pliance with numerous request* from students and patrons of the school, for more extensive work along this line, it was decided to follow, as closely as local needs and conditions would permit, the course in agricul­ ture for the high schools ot Michigan, arranged and published by the de­ partment of Agriculture Education of the Michigan agricultural college. This course provides for one unit of agri­ culture in each of tbe four high school grades as an elective subject At least two unit* from this coarse will be accepted as entrance credit* to the University of Michigan and the various colleges of the state. It is generally considered that the educa­ tional values resulting from this work are as permanent as those from any other subject while the economic and practical value will be reallxed in the Improvement* of the farms and the farm home* of this vicinity. is the pride and envy of the entire com­ munity.

Several trips have been made into the country to observe the con­ ditions ot the farms and to consult with the men who are raising tbe beat live stock and crops of graine, forage and fruit. The chief purpose of this course In high school Is to adapt the scientific teaching ot agri­ culture to the improvement of the farms which contribute to the growth and prosperity of the city of Hast­ ings. This year about ninety students are enrolled In ninth grade agricultural botany, and over thirty student* are taking tenth grade agriculture which Includes “Crops and Soil Elements” for the first semester, to be followed by "Horticulture and Entomology” for the second semester. Several of the student* are taking the botany preparatory to entering the teachers course or as one of the regular sci­ ence studies for college entrance, but a large number of them are planning to continue the work in agriculture, for which the botany pro­ vide* special preparation. Next year the coarse will be continued and In­ clude the study of live stock, dairying and poultry Ln the eleventh grade and sails and soil physics, farm manage­ ment and farm mechanics In the twelfth grade. . Considerable Inquiry ba* been made in regard to a short course to begin some time In November and continue through the winter month* to ac­ commodate those who are not able to leave the farm until after the crops are harvested. If there is sutfcient demand, such a coarse, can be offered. It miiky Include not only the study of the science and art of agriculture but also a abort course In book-keeping. Including farm accounts, business forms and a review ot some of the essential principle* of practical busi­ ness arithmetic. The superintendent, the high school principal and mem­ bers of the board of education will be pleased to receive suggestions and to answer inquiries concerning the organization of such a course. The Commercial Department The commercial work of the Hast­ ings high school is so closely inter­ woven with that of the other depart­ ments that it would be a rather difflfeuit matter to designate any group I of students as purely commercial.

LOUIS GETS ALASKA SEAL CATCH IMPORTANT DECISION RY MECRE. TARY BEDFIELD CHANGING PLACE OF MALE. World's Fur Outer Now Moves from Lowdon to America, Much to Beweflt Home Market. The United States government through Secretary of Commerce Red­ field has just made a decision that will make St. Louis the fur center ot the world. That Is, to change the sale of all the government catch of seal skins, foxes and other Alaska furs, from London to St. Louis. This is the first time in history that the American sea) catch has been marketed through American channels, and the action ot Secretary William C. Redfield Is regarded by the com­ mercial organisations and bureaus of commerce with great favor; particu­ larly aa being significant of the ac­ tivity of the Wilson administration In paying close attention to all manu­ facturing and trad* interesta. The United States thus will dis­ pose of several thousand raw seal skins constituting the 1M3 catch. And under the protecting taws favor­ ing the increase of seals, tbe sale will increase many told in tbe coming few years. . The next step will be the removal from London to St. Louis of seal skin tanners and dyers, establishing. in America a great new manufacturing industry. Thus will a trade of great propor­ tions be fostered. But more than this it will mean the elimination of the present heavy duty now paid on dressed and dyed skins prepared In Europe; while the skins will be dressed and dyed in America just as well, if not better, according to the statement of the best Suropean dyers themselves. The economy thus effected by this home industry and by tbe absence of Ibe former heavy duty will eventually mean a saving of several hundred dol­ lars a garment to milady In tbe pur­ chase of tbe aristocrat ot all furs. The government furs, by the deci­ sion of Secretary ot Commerce Red­ field, will be sold at public auction by Funsten Bros. A Co. of St. Louis, who are eminently qualified for the re­ sponsibility. The first sale is scheduled for some time in December, at which time the representatives of the great furriers of America and Europe will assemble at the Funsten Fur Exchange where this wonderful collection of seal skins will ba sold to the highest bidder. Philip B. Fouke and A. M. Ahern of Funsten’s will conduct the sale for the St Louis firm. Some Sen! History. The history of the seal is one of the most absorbing and romantic of all the great American Industries. While the U. 8. government has produced wonderfully interesting books on tin subject, and which can be had free of charge, the whole country will be in­ teracted in a few facts bearing on the seal bistory of North America, espe­ cially in the light of the recent action of the Department of Commerce, which stamps St. Louis as the fur center of the world. ’ The price paid to Russia for the whole of Alaska was 37.000,000. The revenue from the seal Islands alone— rough, barren, forbidding spots that comprise but an infinitesimal area of tbe Alaska map, has been 815.000,000 —more than twice the sum paid for the entire territory. This area comprises the Pribilof Islands discovered in 1738 by the Rus­ sian navigator whose name the is­ lands bear. It is tbe seat of the most important fur seal colony in the world. ' Next in Importance la the Commander herd owned by Russia, while tbe Kuril herd owned by Japan comes third. During the first year of Uncle Sam’s possession, the catch was about two hundred to 300,000 seals, but the herd haa diminished so considerably that aa a result taws, have been enacted by which the herds will be conserved and future catches Increased. Tbe Greatest EvIL This great diminution of the herds has been the result of pelagic seal­ ing—tbe killing of seals In the open sea. Whole fleets would sometimes He off the seal islands while their crews killed the female seals which swam out to sea seeking food. At sea the sexes cannot be dis­ tinguished, and the females predomi­ nating the pelagic catch is made up largely of this class, the percentage being from 85 to 95 per cent of fe­ males. The death of a female sea) was not the only evil. She was out seeking food for her pup which she had left on shore, so that her death meant also the death of the young The United States, Russia, Japan and Great Britain have made a pact which stipulates that ' no longer shall the fur seal be killed on the high of tbe Harem. is a polygamist, The stronger males have larger harems, ranging from 20 to 40 in number according to the fighting _ strength of the 'King of the Harem/ One bull has been known to have 200 cows In his harem. Naturally there is a large surplus of mateless males whose one object In life Is to got a harem of their own, entailing continuous warfare and bloodshed in which often the female is torn to pieces or maimed In the struggle for ownership. To kill off a goodly number of these disturbing bachelors of the herd is therefore necessary—not only for the good of the herd Itself but also for the good ot the skins, for naturally a mutilat­ ed skin or an old one has but very little market value. Nearly two years ago congress made a law stopping the killing of seals entirely on U. 8. Islands, for five years, except seals needed for food by natives on tbe islands. While from the usual standpoint of game­ preservation this seemed a good thing, soologists and experts on seal life are not in favor of it. They say that the ruling regarding the preser­ vation of deer or grouse does not ap­ ply to the seal. They claim that if the number of male seals is not kept down they will continue to fight and kill each other, and the pups and fe­ males of the harem aa well—that only a small percentage of male seals Is needed to increase the herd. But be­ sides this if the killing ra closed for five years thousands of skins will be lost, because a skin older than four years and a half is worthless. Scien­ tific men say that killing rightly gov­ erned, with none on the open sea, will mean a quick growth ot the herd. However congress decided the other way, and closed the season for five years. The skins of the several thousand seals killed under the law as food for natives are not to be sent to London as formerly. Secretary Redfield has ordered otherwise. Af­ ter a thorough investigation be has ordered that the entire quantity be sold In the United States. After 1 close study of the fur markets of the world he selected Funston Bros. & Co. of St Louis to act as agents of the government in their disposal. Hsw It Affects Prices. In 1837 a seal skin fetched from 32 to 33; in 1890. 317 to 330; while In 1909 the price reached the 340 mark. The prices on seal garments, how­ ever, have indicated a fictitious value, due to the heavy duty entailed by London shipments, ■ and fur dealers have had to demand an exorbitant figure for an article which is a home product and should, and could have been, bought for much less. Bo that naturally this signal recog*1 nition by the U. S. government of the commanding position held by St Lovis In the fur markets of the world cannot fail to have Its effect on the fur business In this country as well as In time reduce the price to the con­ sumer. At the present time 8L Louis is the largest primary fur market In tbe world, and It is estimated that three-fourths of all the furs trapped on the North American continent are shipped to St. Louis houses to be sold. The books published by the U. S. government on this interesting sub- • Ject can be obtained free by writing the department of Commerce Bu­ reau of Fisheries, and will afford en­ joyable and instructive reading. Dealing as they do with the purchase of Alaska by the United States from Russia, and comprising a veritable natural history of the fur bearing seal, as well as setting forth the economics of the sealing industry, these books cannot fail to be a source of real Instruction to any gooc Ameri­ can cltlsen.

The year was one of the greatest prosperity to the natural-gas pro­ ducer and a record breaker for out­ put, according to B. Hill, of the Unit­ ed States Geological Survey. The total estimated consumption ot natur­ al gas in the United States in 1912 was 562,203.452,000 cubic feet, valued at 384,503,957, an average price of 15.04 cents a thousand cubic feet, compared with 512.993,021,000 cubic feet, valued at 374,621,534, an average price of 14.55 cents, in 191L Tho number of domestic consumers sup­ plied with gas in the United States In 1912 was 1,621,557 and the value of gas consumed for domestic purposes amounted to 380,960,883, while the number of industrial consumers was 15,936 and the value of gas consumed for industrial purposes was 333,603,J74. On the assumption that 28,000 cubic feet of gas equals in heating power 1 ton ot coal, the fuel displaced by gas consumed In 1912 was equiva­ lent to approximately 20,000,000 tons of coal.

FOUND IHE STOLEN PURSEJD CHECKS POCKETBOOK STOLEN ON M. C. TRAIN, FAIR WEEK, DISCOV­ ERED IN LUMBER YARD. Twa Cheeks Also Foand Bat Cash I* WsslBg. Ns Cine As to the Bebbers. It -will be remembered that during the county fair a traveling man named G. C. Steele had his pocket book, containing about 8225 in checks and bills stolen from him as he was get­ ting on to a Michigan Central train. He discovered his loss before the train started and got off the train and re­ ported the matter to Sheriff Williams. The sheriff and his force have made diligent effort to trace the theft, but with practically no clue whatever to work on they have not been success­ ful. The pocket book, however, has finally been found. Tuesday, Rodney Cramer, who works in Bauer Bros.’ lumber yard on Broadway, was hand­ ling some shingles, piled in a shed in the back part of the yard, near the railroad, when he saw an open pocket book on the pile of shingle. Near it and lodged between the bundles of shingles were two checks. One was drawn on a BL Johns bank for 88.13 and one on a Saranac bank tor 88.17, in favor of G. C. Steele. Mr. Cramer handed over the pocket book and the two checks to the sheriff. It Is not likely that the dis­ covery will lead to the arrest of the thief. It is probable that when he re­ lieved Mr. Steele of his pocket book, he ran west on the track as far as the lumber yard where he opened the book, took out the money and threw the book and checks on the shingle pile.

ALL THE CHURCHES JOINED IN WELCOME RECEPTION TO NEW M. E. PASTOR AND WIFE FRIDAY NIGHT A HAPPY OCCASION. Warm Words of Welcome Spoke* ky Local Clergy and Eulogy by H*y*r Ellis of Grand Rapids. From the standpoint of true Christ­ ian fellowship and unity in Hastings, It was a happy thought that inspired the reception that was held at the M. E. church last Friday night Io honor of the new pastor of that church and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. Russell H. Bready. For it brought to­ gether the church folk of all denomi­ nation* and developed a spirit that cannot help but bring the local churches into greater sympathy with each other and strengthen their in­ fluence for good. All denominations were represented in the crowd of people that thronged the church parlors in the bapemeut and paid their respects to the new pastor and his wife. There were tn line with Mr. and Mr*. Bready, Presi­ dent A. B. Hedrick, of the Brother­ hood. Rev. and Mrs. M. Grigsby, of the Presbyterian church. Rev. and Mrs. C. W. Ballou, of the United Brethren church, Rev. F. J. Betts, of the Baptist church. Rev. and Mr*. W. J. Lockton, Mayor and Mrs. Osborn, and Mayor George E. Ellis, of Grand । Rapids. After the presentations were all over, there was a program in the au­ ditorium of the church. Chas. G. Maywood opened the exercises with a well rendered voluntary on the pipe organ. This was followed by prayer by Rev. M. Grigsby. The Brother­ hood Glee club next rendered a se­ lection. President A. B. Hedrick of the Brotherhood, presided and made an appropriate speech of welcome in be­ half of that society. He then called upon Mr*. Clement Smith to speak on behalf of the church. That lady ful­ filled her part of the program In a most fitting manner, welcoming the new pastor and promising him the loyal support of his people, and ex­ tending an equally warm greeting to the pastor’s wife. Rev. R. E. Yost, the circuit min­ ister, was unable to be present, but sent a cordial greeting to his new col­ league, which was read by Mr. Hed­ rick. Rev. W. J. Lockton then spoke a most earnest and impressive greeting in behalf of the other churches of the city. He laid stress upon the fact that Christians of different churches have more in common than they have of dif­ ference. In behalf of the city It was proper that Mayor Osborn should speak. He briefly but appropriately spoke word* of welcome as a representative of all citizens. At this point Chas. A. Kerr sang a solo. “Just a Little Bit of Love” in * manner that was greatly enjoyed. Mayor Ellis of Grand Rapids was the next speaker. He eulogized his friend and pastor. Rev. Mr. Bready, in a most enthusiastic way, working in several very good stories as good natured “roasts” on hl* clerical friend. He declared that no clergyman, with cne exception, ever left Grand Rapid* •o universally loved and regretted a* Russell H. Bready, and said that any time Hastings wanted to let him go Grand Rapid* would be glad to take him back. Tn conclusion the new pastor who had been the subject of all these good wont* and kindly greeting*, made * response so full of earnestness, and promise of usefulness, not only to his church by to every good purpose in Hastings as to justify the encomium* of hla friend, the mayor of Grand Rapids. The formal program being comjleted all adjourned to the church parlor* below and partook of tight refresh­ ments and enjoyed a half honr of so­ cial converse. .

The board of supervisors completed their regular session Saturday noon, and adjourned until January. Thursday afternoon was the time set for the three elections that de­ volve upon the board every October session. There was a spirited contest over the election of a member of the poor board to succeed Gilbert Striker from last year's figures. With the ex­ ception of Castleton, the real estate as assessed by the local boards was not changed at all. In Castleton the assessment made by the supervisor was $1,036,980. This was increased 640,000 by the board of supervisors. Lost year’s total of real estate ns equalised was $12,120,055; this year it is $11,999,415, a decrease of $120,­ 640. The total of personal last year was $2,136,715. this year It Is $2,174,014. an Increase of $37,299. Last year's total of real and personal property In the county was $14,256,770; this year it Ih $14,173,429, a decrease of $83,­ 341.

There were two candidates, Gilbert Striker and A. J. Woodmansee and the first four ballots resulted in a tie. The fifth ballot stood 10 for Woodmansee and • for Striker, giving the piece to Mr. Woodmansee. One ballot settled the school ex­ aminer election as follows: Webster Hastings, 10; Albert Hauer. 6; Vern Young, 2. Thus Mr. Hastings succeeds himself on the county ex­ amining board. The vote on janitor was a mere for­ mality. Charles Andrus who has filled the office for several years with great satisfaction, received the unani­ mous vote of the board.

SIRENS OF THE SEI Those of Prelent Day Haunt Ships Instead ot Cliffs. Medem Knchantresae* Live In Omall •teterooma Aboard Palatial Liners That Ply Between Pert cf New York and Foreign fihoree. New York—Those ancient eatenglare of men who in the Morerto myth­ ology used their blandishments over mariners, have their successors today for those who travel by the sea. The sirens ot ancient days—Partbeuope, Llgea and Leucosis and the rest of their class—lived in cliffs and caves of Islands between Sicily and Italy. Their successor of today travel first class in sumptuous ocean hotels. They have discarded their wings and half­ bird and half-fish costumes for Paris creations, with beadgear from Fifth avenue and the Rue de la Paix. Long since the double flute ot the marine sorceresses of Homer has been * ex­ changed for a lorgnette, a fan or a cigarette. The presence of the modern siren on the great ships of today Is not known to the general and nonobeervant traveler. But two classes know of her existence very well—her vic­ tims and the "gangplank*' detectives. There is and has been for two gen­ erations along the North river water front a regularly organized staff of sleuths and plain clothes men who are Independent of the uniformed police and headquarters plain clothes men. The business has been transmitted from father to son. The names of these marine de­ tectives seldom appear in print, but they are very important people neverthe less, for they watch the passen­ gers on ocean vessels and separate the sheep from the goats. These quiet, unobtrusive men, who look like steamship men or managers of passenger traffic, glue their eyes upon every traveler passing up or down a gangplank, embarking this week and returning weeks hence. On the deck of the vessel within or with­ out the three-mile limit violations ot conventions or noncompllance with laws which obtain on land are difficult at detection. The twentieth century siren, from a liking for the sea, chooses a swell unite on a liner In preference to the no longer poetic and now unprofitable habitation of Circe lying along the course from the country of the CydopeInstead of picking the boons Ct mariners, over whom they formerty exorcised their powers, strewing their skeletons thickly around their dwell­ ings, they now dine In the floating restaoranta of International name and pick the boose of pheasants and ptarmigans Instead, noy drink rare vintages, while too old style siren wns presumably ecotent with water. Over her and her movements the ptar sleuth watches.

Pwr the Bi>bt _ _ _ We Varientaari ________ _____ Prewkteat Wilaee’a Mexican Psllcy. Preaident Wilson Is being criticise J by political organs which are looking for aome point ot Imagined weakness in his course and by some unthink* Ing Americans who do not stop to consider tho difference between Eu­ ropean diplomacy and American, be­ cause he has not moved more rapidly and drastically in dealing with the Mexican crista. European govern­ ments long ago recognized tbe Huerta government nnd they do not undeistand why tbe United States does not take the same course. There Is no doubt that It Washington recognized Huerta he would be immensely strengthened and it is quite likely that he would be able under the prestige derived from American support, to put down rebellion, and establish peace and order, the same as Presi­ dent Diaz did. This would insure protection to foreign financial in­ terests In Mexico, and this is all that Germany. France and England care for. European diplomacy, govern­ ed by centuries ot procedure on the monarchical theory that might makes right, is a diplomacy of expediency. It does not consider it within the province ot diplomacy to make in­ quiry into the moral side of the ques­ tion of recognizing a new government. On the other hand the United States, from the very beginning has been governed by the moral obligations of this government towards other gov­ ernments, as well as the question of expediency, and we have exerted a tremendous moral influence upon the world because of this higher concep­ tion of international duty. We de­ clared in the days of Monroe for a republican America because a re­ publican form of government Is es­ sential to the best interests of all the, people, and we have been ready to fight all Europe if necessary to com­ pel them to keep hands off every country in the western hemisphere. We went to war with Spain to free Cuba and we confounded all Europe when we showed our slncerelty by giving the enfranchised Cubans their real liberty. We are now spending millions of dollars to prepare tbe Filipinos for self government and President Wflsou has recently cheered the hearts of these brown wards of ours by assuring them of the firm purpose of the United States to give them absolute independence at the earliest day possible. And so now, In dealing with the murderer and usurper Huerta, Presi­ dent Wilson Is acting along the line of true American diplomacy—a policy of right • instead of expediency. He refuses to recognize the right of thin adventurer to govern the Mexican people, simply because he has gained control of the machinery of govern­ ment by force of arms. President Wilson is -right in this coarse and that he will not be found wanting in courage and firmness is evidenced by his warning to the gov­ ernments of Europe to keep their hands off Mexico. He Is morally strong in his attitude and Europe will be compelled to acquiesce. No Ameri­ can should be found who will not back our president In an attitude that Is morally unassailable. It is in ac­ cord with the best American diplo­ macy. • City Bepmentatfan •» Supervisee’* Beard. Hastings city should have one more representative on the board of super­ visors It pays about 162-3 per cent of the taxes and has but one-ninth of the representation. A number ot years ago the mayor was made an ex-offlelo member ot the county board, which lasted two years. Political considerations repealed the law, which at that time might perhaps have been too much representation as the city paid but little less than one ninth of the taxes. Since that time the increase of wealth in the city, entitles it to great­ er representation. We believe the city would be well represented if tho mayor was added to the city’s repre­ sentation. The board is not an un­ wieldy one; tbe political division would not be changed; the equalisa­ tion of taxes between 'City and town­ ship could not be materially affected by the addition. Near Enactment. President Wilson is not given to hasty judgments. When he assures Chairman Underwood that tbe cur­ rency bill is certain to pass, and at this session of congress, he must speak with accurate knowledge of the senate situation. His confidence is warranted by tho outside situation of the bill. Opposi­ tion is fast melting away. The criti­ cism of tbe country banks is such as can easily be met, and is to be met. Big-banking opposition was disarmed when Mr. Vander I Ip of the National City Bank of New York pronounced the bill 80 per cent, good, and when James G. Cannon of tho Fourth Na­ tional Bank was equally emphatic in his general indorsement. . As Preaident Wilson makes his statement, the greatest commercial body in the country, tho New York chamber of commerce, unanimously adopts resolutions approving tho bill In the main and suggesting amend­ ments all of which could be accepted without changing Its character in any important respect. Opposition within congress cannot endure when opposition outside of congress is disappearing. The presi­ dent Is evidently well advised. Cur­ rency reform "la assured," and at an early day.—N. Y. World. Heath. Mrs. Eliza Jennings Heath, a pio­ neer resident of this city 'for many years, died at tlie 'home of a daughter, Mrs. Niles Diamond, in Grand Rap­ Ids, Saturday, Oct. 25, aged 78 years. She was tho widow of Darius Heath, a carpenter, whose first employment In the new village of Hastings, was for Robinson & Wightman, then en­ gaged in manufacturing agricultural Implements; she was the mother of Mrs. Geo. Whitcomb, Fred L. Heath, Frank Heath and Mrs. Niles Diamond, at whose home she was living at tho time of her death. She had many friends in this city, where her noble character, quiet and generous ways endeared her to all with whom she associated. She was preparing to visit friends in this city, having the day before gone down town to do some shop­ ping in preparation for the visit which she intended to make this present week. She was in apparent Rood health, went to bed In good spirits, anticipating the pleasure of her visit. About midnight her daughter visited the room, and gave her a dose of medicine to relieve her stomach which had been troubling her. She laid down again, and her daughter seeing her comfortable, went to her own room. She was usually an early riser, but as she failed to appear at breakfast time, her room was visited and she was found dead. The spirit bad fled, but she lay as as if asleep, no marks of pain, no sign of struggle, as peacefully as a little child, she fell Into the sleep that knows no waking. Funeral waa held in this city at the Episcopal church Monday, con­ ducted by Rev. Lockton: Interment !□ Riverside by the side of her husband. CONSUMPTIVES GO TO DESERT Two Men Seek Curs by Living Primi­ tive Life in Sandy Wastes of ths West. Banning, Cal.—In the heart of the desert, 50 miles from civilization, two men are leading the simple life in an attempt to conquer tuberculosis. They are George Wallace, a rancher of Red­ lands. Cal., and Dr. Gordon Lewis, a London dentist. At last reports they were gaining atrength and were con­ fident they would got well. Bearded like patriarchs, their hair grown a foot long and their bodies burned brown by the sun, the two are living a thoroughly primitive exis­ tence. They have no shelter and wear no clothes whatever. Their food Is chiefly game killed in the desert, stew made of desert herbs, goats' milk and occasionally nuts obtained from a national forest some miles away. Daily they take long walks through the vast stretches of shimmering hot sand. They have stood unprotected through cloudbursts and never a symp­ tom of a cold developed. In the days when they dared not venture out Into the rain without being overcoated and mufllered they suffered constantly from colds and throat affections. They point out that the Indians knew nothing of tubercular troubles while they lived a wild and nomadic life, but now that they are quartered In houses the tribes are fast being thinned out by consumption. Both men are determined to remain In the desert until completely cured. LION CUBS OF CENTRAL PARK Visitors to Zoo in New York Play­ ground Frolic With Young Lion Kittens.

Showing real football form and playing an entirely different brand of football than they have displayed in the put two games, Hastings high school banded Nashville’s students a defeat at the fair grounds yesterdav afternoon. In spite of the improvement shown Jn the work of the locals it took Bob Brown and his good right leg to annex the victory as these Nashville lads had a persistent desire to trim Hastings in the same manner to which they have been accustomed in seasons past. Added to the strength of the Nash­ ville team was an umpire from that village with an eagle eye for cans-} for penalty when bis team’s goal was in danger and on several occasions Hastings was denied a touchdown not so much by Nashville's ability to bold as by the watchful eye of this offleial who waa ever alert to take advantage of each and every technicality to pro­ tect and aid his team. Neither team used the open style of play to any extent and few gains re­ sulted as a result of forward pasiec. Quarterback Hill uncorked a few new plays for Hastings in the last half, but they showed a lack ot smoothness necessary to put this style of footbait across and netted the borne team but little ground. Hast­ ings field goal came in the first quar­ ter and the three points thus ac­ quired constituted the final result as to points. When the final whistle blew Hastings had tbe ball within a foot of Nashville's goal. The work of Hastings' two new ends stood out strikingly. Roush and Cole­ man, the two lads in question, played a remarkable game especially so when their weight is taken into considera­ tion. Their absolute fearlessness in breaking up, plays, their speed and their flying tackles were features of the game. Eaton Rapids comes Saturday for a return game.

Few have noticed that at the flrst institu­ tion of marriage, by divine appoint­ ment, tbe woman simply took the name of her husband, as is still the ca»d. Both the man and his wife were called Adam.

Now we make this offer so that offices everywhere may learn what this machine means to them. Here is a new price on a com­ petent Adder. On a machine that is rapid, full-sizeaad infallible. The very latest machine, built by men who know, in one of the largest metal-working shops. It Is an Individual Adder, to be placed on one’s desk, close to one’s books and papers. To take the place of the central machine requiring skilled operaton. It is also intended for offices and stores where costly machines are a luxury. We will gladly place in any office one American Adder for a ten days* test. The price is due to utter sim­ plicity, and to our enormous out­ put. Seven keys do all the work.

High Honors Conferred Vpsn Hustings Rebekah, The sixty-ninth annual convention ot Old Fellows and the nineteenth an­ nual assembly, of Rebekahs at Kala­ mazoo last week was very largely at­ tended nnd a most successful affair. Preceding the dance given at tlie armory at which over 1,500 people gathered, there was a very interest­ ing ceremony in which one of Hast­ ings’ Rebekahs, Mrs. Mary Maynard, took an important and highly honor­ able part. Upon ten ladles of the Rebekah lodge* from all over Michigan were conferred the decoration of chivalry by the members of tbe 1. O. O. F. These ladles were a* follow*: Mr*. Ida H. Fletcher-Parsons, Kalamazoo; Mrs. Mary Maynard, Hastings; Mrs. H. F. Hoggart, Benton Harbor; Grace Dardinger, Anna Townsley, Cynthia Btroughton, Mra. I. Cameron, Gales­ burg; Eliza Johnson, Pauline Meyers and Anna Balllargeon of Detroit. I Buglers sounded the assembly and the ceremony woo formally opened. The ten candidates then washed their hand* in a receptacle of pure water “to cleanse themselves of the things of flesh.” Then, with the left hand on the Bible the candidates knelt on the left knee, raised the right hand whilst the members of the canton, uncovered in reverence. The obligation was then taken. The lecture was given by four ladies, and little Miss Grace Boyce was called upon by Major Gen. Davis to present the certificates to tbe ladle j and pin the jewel on the breast of th.? candidates. The decoration of chiv­ alry is the highest honor that can be bestowed on any Rebekah lodge mem­ ber In the state and is gained only af­ ter noteworthy acts for the order are performed by the candidate. After the memorial service the beautiful floral anchor was taken to Freeport and placed upon the grave of tho late Mrs. Susan 8. Peckham, vice-president of the home board of the Odd Fellows Home at Jackson. Probably the most notable feature of the convention took place when through the effort* of Grand Secretary Roger* a resolution was passed mak­ ing Past Grand Master George Dean of Detroit a life member of the grand lodge of Michigan. Past Grand Mas­ ter Dean, called “the grand old man of the Michigan Odd Fellow*," Is S3 year* of age and ha* been a member of the grand lodge for 56 year*, lorger than any member in the United State*. During thia membership of over half a century he ba* established the re­ markable record of attending every session of the grand lodge but one.

PAGE BEVEff APPLIED DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES ( The Revised Tariff and the Curreurj Bill By Hou. Champ Clark. Speaker j ef tbe Hoase of RepresentativcM. { It I* written: "By thelk works ye shall know them.” This la u whole- ! some and correct rule of conduct established by the highest authority. By this rule democrats arc ready to ( be judged; by It they must stand or' fall. We applied it to the republicans when we were in tbe minority. Be- I Ing now In tbe majority, tho demo- j crats are willing to have tbe same test | applied to them. No courageous and ; honest man will flinch from such an ' ordeal. । The works of the republicans for sixteen years were not for the best1 Interests of the country and should ■ not be satisfactory to the people. The people took us at our word and , thrust the republican* into outer' darkness where there Is weeping and ‘ wailing and gnashing of teeth and a great deal of profane swearing. | At Baltimore, In our platform, wo made a multitude of promises. The most important promise made at Bal- , timore waa to revise the tariff down- j ward, and now that promise is almost an accomplished fact. Our tariff hill । will, In all human probability, be up- i on the statute books before the mid- ’ die of September. In my judgment I It is a good tariff bill. It Is not pre- J clsely ns 1 would have written it if । I had had carte-blanche to write a tariff bill. It Is not exactly as any one man In America would have writ­ ten It if he had had carte-blanchc to write it. But It Is substantially as most democrats would have written It. • There are some four thousand ar­ ticles of every day consumption in a ' tariff bill. No two men with brains ; in their heads agree on all thb Items. Nevertheless and notwithstanding It । Is substantially what most democrats , would have written. < All important legislation is a tla- i sue of compromise and concessions. । Nobody can got everything that he । want* in this world. When there are no vacancies in the House or Senate It takes 268 men to put any taw upon | the statute book*—218 members of j the House, forty-nine senator* and one president Of course, if the pres। ident vetoes a bill, then it take* twothird* of both house*. So. by yield­ ing * little here and a little there, a piece of legislation is finally whipped into shape. We believe that our tariff bill will reduce the cost of living, more fairly adjust the subject* of tariff taxation and at tbe same time raise an abund. ant revenue for the government, eco­ nomically and effectively administer­ ed. I put In tbe word “effectively" because no good American desires to see the federal government crippled In any of its legitimate functions. Our tariff bill would not raise enough money to pay the expenses of the government were it not for the income tax feature of IL According to my way of thinking, a properly graded income tax with reasonable exemptions is the juttest and the fairest tax ever levied. It Is a mons­ trous proposition to say that the con­ centrated wealth of the country should not bear its just proportion of the public burden. No man of sense object* to a man becoming wealthy, however wealthy he may become, pro­ vided he accumulate* his wealth by honorable means. . A tariff Is a tax on consumption. An income tax 1* a tax on accumu­ lated wealth. The exemptions In « • state law are justified—that I* on the ground that it Is better for the state to keep families together, and to af­ ford the average cittaen a better chance to live and educate his chil­ dren. The income tax feature of our bill is the one most pleasing to m?. GreatBritain has tried it every year since the Napoleonic wars except two. At one time they suspended its opera­ tion for two years and then went back to It, and it has become a per­ manent feature of their budget. Jus­ tin McCarthy in hi* admirable “His­ tory of Our Own Time*” says there is no more chance of a return to the high protective tariff system in Eng­ land than there Is to abolish the rule of three. And I take it that after a hundred year* experience with the Income tax the same thing might be said about its repeal in Great Britain. Furthermore, I have no fear that that feature of our tariff bill will ever be repealed. It may be modified and perfected. That would be the part of wisdom. So on the whole, I molt heartily congratulate the American people, the Congress of the United States and the president on the democratic tariff bill. The effort to . revise the tariff downward has re-' quired a long pull, a strong pull and 1 a pull all together on the part of democrats, but It Is almost accomp-; llshed. Some of us worked for it , when it appeared almost hopeless but‘ we kept at It, fighting the field inch j by Inch und at last stood forth victors. । I never think of the long fight that ( has been made for tariff reduction ■ that I do not recall the splendid lines of Byron: ! “For time at last sets all things even And if we do not watch the hour, There never yet was human power That could evade. If unforgiven, j The patient search and vigil long ; Of him who treaaures up a wrong." j and the high protective tariff system, beginning with the flrst Merrill bill Id 1861, down to the present day, was one of tbe most monstrous wrongs ever inflicted upon a people. i There Are Only a Few Days Left in Which to Take Advantage of our Closing Out Sale of Shoes Lack of room has forced us to discontinue our shoe department with the exception of a few of the staple shoes, work shoes, etc. The complete line which we have carried makes it possible for you to secure wonder­ ful bargains here during this sale.

Fast-Msvlng Vehicles Tear Ip High­ way, Favors Tse of Concrete, as Has been Dune In California. “Waterbound macadam roads, which for practically a century have been adequate for the traffic have now, un­ der the new conditions, become ob­ solete, and their further construction means a serious waste of public funds,” says ex-President Lewis R. Spenre. of the American Automobile association. "Macadam may answer for side roads and cross roads where there it little travel, to wear the surface into dust, and few fast moving vehicles to throw the dust into the air to be blown away. But for main roads a method of construction must be put in operation which will produce dura­ ble roads. "Wherever it can be used concrete makes a most excellent road, or a road base, for some other kind of sur­ face. The state of California has adopted concrete construction for practically its entire system of state highways. Wayne county, Michigan, has been building concrete roads for five years. “Before the Wayne county authori­ ties had learned by experience how to build concrete roads with expan­ sion joints to prevent the concrete from cracking In cold weather and buckling In the hot sun, several miles of roads were built which -broke into frequent cracks. To repair these eracked sections of road they poured hot bituminous material into the cracks and covered them with sand. This has worn to the level of the concrete, and the whole forms a smooth road to travel over, and one which looks as If it would stand for a generation at least “In some sections of the country the concrete Is being used as a base, and two or three Inches of broken stone, mixed with bituminous ma­ terials. put on for a surface. If prop­ erly built this kind of rood should be very durable, and should justify the ndditlona! expense. “The concrete will furnish the strength required to hold up the loads which are constantly growing heavier, while tho bitumenized surface will prevent the creation of dust, making the road pleasant to travel over. “The only proper way to figure on the cost of a road is to consider botu the original cost and the expense of maintenance for a period of ten jr fifteen years. Under present condi­ tions of travel a macadam road would have to be resurfaced every two ar three years, and would be in bad con­ dition two-thlrds of the time. The aggregate cost would be far greater than that of a concrete road with a bituminous surface." KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN OFFICERS: Herbert E. Johnson. President. Charles A Peck, Chairman of Board.

Yankee Springs. In looking over the old records we find that the name of "Yankee Springs,” was given to the famous springs, by Henry Leonard and family and Charles Paul, and a stranger who was supposed to be Calvin Hell or a Mr. Tryon, who in 1836 built a log house near tlie springs. Those as­ sembled were “all from York State," and were all Yankees, and the name of Yankee Springs was given by these people, nnd subsequently adopted by the township through the act of the legislature. Not until a year later, did the landlord of the "Mansion House,” come into possession of the property, but to him is the credit for making the spot historic, and the building of a “seven story" building, nil on the ground.

"We have not only hnd peace throughout our own borders and witn the nations of the world, but thnt pence has brightened by constantly multiplying evidence of genuine friendship, of mutual sympathy and understanding, and of the happy op­ eration ot many elevating influences, both of Ideal and of practice. The nation has been not only prosperous, but has proved its capacity to take calm counsel amid tlie rapid move­ ment of affairs and deal with its own life in a spirit of candor, righteous­ ness and comity. "We have seen the practical com­ pletion of a great work at the Isth­ mus of Panama, which not only ex­ emplifies tho nation's abundant re­ sources to accomplish what it will, and the distinguished skill and ca­ pacity of its public servants, but also promises the beginning of a new age, of new contrasts, now neighborhoods, new sympathies, new bonds, and new achievements of co-operatlou and peace.

This is your home store, the store whose existence depends upon its reputation, the store which remains in Hastings 365 days in a year, ready to back every claim we make and to make good everything we sell if you can find a flaw. No one can sell you a better piano than those manufactured by Haines Bros., Bush & Lane, A. B. Cameron and we have the exclusive sale of these instruments together with several other standard makes.

FURNITURE SJUttIWKWS THAT ARE MI HHBIE any fanner. This stall, which has been called the "model stall," has been in use by dairymen throughout the United States for ten or fifteen years. Some of the most prominent dairymen in the country including such men a* Ex-Governor Hoard, tbe editor of Hoard’s Dairy, Ex-Governor Warner, Ex-Food Commissioner Lillie and numerous other* have bad these stalls in practical use for a great many years. The writer of this bull­ etin ha* had them in his barn for fifteen year* and is still satisfied with them. With the proper use of these stalls It is absolutely impossible for any cow to convert herself into a fertiliser sandwich. The stall is not patented. Any fanner can build the same and it is cheaper to build and install than any otoer form of cow stalls. Moreover it i* very humane because it give* the cow absolutely freedom and no stanchions are used. A full description of how to build this stall with photographs of the same and complete working dimen­ sions will be mailed to any person who will send their name and ad­ dress to this department. To all who cannot afford to put in a high priced sanitary iron pipe stanchion, we know from personal experience that this stall will be equally effective In keeping cow* clean and a large amount of fertiliser saved to the farm that install* them. Under the laws of Michigan milK and cream produced from cows cov­ ered with filth are not salable and it is to be hoped that every dairyman tn the state who has not already in­ stalled a sanitary cow stall in bis barn, will take advantage of this op­ portunity to see that his cows are kept clean and comfortable during the coming winter. Drop a postal card to the State Dairy & Food Depart­ ment at Lansing requesting a de­ scription of thia stall, and full work­ ing directions for making the same will be forwarded. James W. Helme, State Dairy & Food Commissioner. With the approach of winter tbe dairy cow* will soon be stabled and la a short time our dairy inspectors will be entering barn* all over Mich­ igan and there they will find a pe­ culiar bind of sandwich. Sand­ wiches. as the reader knows, general­ ly consists of a piece of meat with two oatside covers. The sandwiches that our dairy inspectors will find In the dairy barns might be called “fer­ tiliser sandwiches.” They consist of the cow in the middle and a great big slab of fertiliser on each side ot her. Now the head of thia department be­ lieves in conservation and the place for fertiliser 1* upon the field* ot the farm and not upon the sides of the cow. Not only does the cow endure great discomfort by being placed in a fertiliser *andwlch but when the milker sets down to milk, of neces­ sity more or less of this covering will tall into the milk pail and eventu­ ally a part of It will be transferred to the city man'* stomach. Now we hold no brief tor the city man'* stom­ ach although the urban population in Michigan now comprises about SO per cent of the population. In other words during the coming winter over one million dwellers in towns ami villages will all be carrying around in their stomachs more or less fer­ tiliser which Is obtained from the fertiliser sandwich in the dairy stable*. This fertiliser is a plant food and not an animal food and when we think of the vast amount that will be carried around in the city man's stomach eventually to be wasted, we want to warn the dairy­ men of tbe state that here Is a tre­ mendous waste. The place for fertil­ iser is not in the city man's stomach where it Is Hable to impair his diges­ tion more or less, but its true place is on the farms of the state to grow Quick Help ta Backache aad Rbeamaadditional crops of corn and clover. tisBk This enormous waste can be avoided The man or woman who wants quick if the dairymen will only place in his help from backache and rheumatism, barn the proper kind of stall whereby will find It in Foley Kidney Pills.

(Some good authorities who have made experiments with frost preven- tlon claim that Mr. Water’s theory i« correct, but that its application is not practical, except in a small way. However, It I* a question open for discussion.—The Editor). This spring and summer of 1913 demonstrate* that for successful fruit growing in western Michigan, there must be a protection against frost in the spring and drouth in the summer. I believe water will answer this pur­ pose if provided for sufficiently and applied properly. I do not mean an Irrigating plant as is required In the arid regions of the west at great expense, but only such a water system through pumps, hose hydrants and pipes that could be had at comparatively amall expense in any part of Michigan. This state Is richly endowed with rivers, lakes and springs and under­ flow* that can be drawn up for farm­ ing purposes in every section. Two years ago we had freexing weather in April. It was not merely frost, but a temperature from six to four degrees below freexing. This weather had been preceded in March by unusual warmth, in consequence fruit buds were very much advanced, in fact everything was in blossom. I re­ member it was particularly so with sweet cherries, but during this spell of wintry weather in that April it snowed and rained and, to my aston­ ishment. I had a full crop of sweet cherries, also plums, apples and peaches. I bad another experience which confirm* my theory in regard to tbe value of water as a protection from frost In early morning after a frosty night I walked out through the vine­ yard to see how it looked. It was white with frost and 1 regarded the crops as destroyed; it was then well forward In growth. Before the suns rays reached it the wind changed to the south, and so rapid was the change in temperature that the frost was converted into dew and the dam­ age to the vineyard wns slight On a trip north recently from El Paso. Texas, via Ban Antonio, I fell in with a scientist from the national agricultural department and in the course of our talk I had occasion to speak of my experience with frost and water and the theory I had drawn from that experience; that water Is a protection against frost He told me he was In Texas trying to find some cure for cotton against the Boll Weevil. He said If tbe cotton could bo planted earlier wit- «t fear of frost the Boll Weevil would be put out of business, and If my theory was correct there was a solution in Lt of tbe trouble with cotton. It has been proven that a spray frosen to a thick ice will nave tender vegetable* from such severe cold, and this suggests another Idea that would not a spray in winter frozen to a cov­ ering of Ice save tender fruit buds threatened with killing by a low de­ gree of cold; as for instance, peach bud*. I am not claiming thi* would be effective, but there I* encourage­ ment In experiments that it would. The only question is how can the water be applied reliably and econo­ mically. A water system on every fruit farm and ho*e and perhaps n standpipe for rapidly filling tbe tank on a wagon for spraying, would meet the emergency of a frosty night, spring or fall. Also for a saving ir­ rigation In case of drought in sum­ mer. By this mean» strawberry fields in blossom, vineyards end fruit trees could bd saved by a night's spraying. A power spraying outfit would be a great help against frost, but could hardly provide against a drought, excepting possibly for straw­ berries and potatoes, where the spray­ er could be driven over the plants be­ tween the rows. In tbe spring of the year tbe fruit growers of western Michigan have a sort of protection from frosts of a peculiar kind from Lake Michigan; not that the lake and that the season modified the temperature by its warmth, but because the wintry cold of the water in the spring keeps back the advance of the season until sum­ mer I* so far near that the danger of fro«t is lessened. It is claimed, and tbe claim is well founded, that Lake Michigan by its coldness is a protec­ tion to fruit growers on the east shore In the spring and also by its warmth in the fall and winter. One thing is undisputed, the season here at Spring Lake is 10 days later than in Kent county, 30 mites inland. *100 Reward, $100 T>e HMiirrx at purer will tu- I'lenK'rt te lerru lt>»t Ihrtv 1- 4.1 iit.»l «><> drvxdnj •hat wiener bus Im . n able to turn hi all It* *lar>K. unit Him I* Cularrh.

German manufacturers of blasting mpe employ women for drawing the detonator tubes and for charging and parting tbe ftniabod product. Five Dsilaro a Week. Thus is it down on Beel*ebub's books: “August the seventeenth—Isabel Brooks; Home in the country; folks decent but poor; Character excellent; morals still pure; Came to the city today nnd found work; Wages five dollars; department store clerk.” Wage* five dollars! To last seven days! Three for a miserable hall room she pays; Two nickels daily the street car re­ ceives; One dollar forty for eating, that leaves. One-forty has quite a long wav* tj reach— " Twenty-one banquets at seven cents each! There! Every penny of wage has been spent— Squandered for feasting nnd riding and rent! Spendthrift! She doesn't remember life’s ills. How in the world will she pay doc­ tor’s bills? What if she's furloughed (there's al­ ways a chance); Isabel ought to save up in advance. Hold! We've not mentioned her clothes; she must wear Dresses, hats, shoes, stockings, rib­ bons for hair— How shall she get them? Suppose that we stop: Perhaps it's as well if we let the thing drop. You good math'maticlans may figure it out; It's a matter of figures or figure, no doubt. Carry this picture. It’s better, I'm sure: “Character excellent; morals still pure.” What else is written, we won't try to see; Beelzebub thinks much the same way as we. Why, as I live! There’s a tear in his eye! Now, what in Hell can make old Satan cry? Surely the devil Is feeling his age; Look what he’s writing on Isabel's page: “Virtue’s a luxury hard to afford When a girl hasn't money enough for her board.” Educating Twrt«.

The numbers in both the sewing and the cooking classes have greatly Increased, and thoroughly practical work is being done in every class. Eighty-eight are enrolled in cooking and one hun­ dred and five In sewing, with new students entering the classes every week. The fifth and sixth grades take up sewing, learning the most common stitches first applied to simple pieces such as a needle book and a holder. Tbe last part of the fifth year the girls make a doll's outfit, making use of a number of different stitches. In the sixth year they make their cook­ ing outfit, consisting of towel, dish­ cloth, holder, cap and apron. Three they put Into immediate use in Lie seventh grade, where cooking is be­ gun. During the seventh and eighth years the girls study the effect of heat on different foods, composition of food, preparation of various dishes, setting of table, preparation and serving of meals, and other practical and useful lessons and exercises. This work I* elective in the high school and may be taken by any of the girls, whether they have had any previous training in domestic sci­ ence in the grades or not. The cook­ ing consists of a broader itudy of the principles of cookery- than is given in the grades, while those taking sewing pursue a course in garment making that is especially valuable. The girls from the rural schools are en­ couraged to enter this department and many of them are taking the work in sewing and cooking. Classes In these subjects for high school students are conducted In the domes­ tic science room from three to five o’clock In the afternoon* of Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday of each week. Classes for the grade pupils are held each school day from nine o’clock in the morning until three In the afternoon. A most cordial in­ vitation is extended to parents, pa­ trons and others who are interested In the work of domestic science, to visit tbe classes of this department at any time. �' I ■ABTINC8 JOUENAL-MEKALE, THURSDAY, OCTOBEK gfl, 1913, LUCKY OKS WHO HITMCOK III Yob WHl Have to Pay Carle Nam ou Your Earnings aad lacrvaoeatH From Marrb IM.

A home without a Piano lacks an air cf refinement, a cozy atmosphere which is secured only by the presence of one of these instruments in the home. It is a serious offense to deny the young people the advantages of a musi­ cal education and a home without a Piano offers little attraction to the younger generation. A Piano is a constant source of pleasure and enjoyment to every member of the family. H (By F. O. HERMAN.) * There Is no short cut toward finding a queen. You have got to look until you find her.

Through the efforts of Representative Ben H. Lee. of Grand Rapids, a line of state'road was laid from Battle Creek to Grand Rapids via Hastings. The route is estab­ lished and there arc several pieces of state award road built and being built along this established line, but none arc built up to the specifica­ tions for the trunk line road, except so far as they may be used the paved streets of this city. This Is to be re­ gretted as It would cost less to build in the future on this line of road. Tbe road to be built in Rutland, now under way is on the trunk line route. The specifications call for a nine foot gravel roadway, which should be at least 16 feet, wide of gravel. An organized effort along the line south of the city Is expected, the prelimi­ naries to be worked out In the winter months and a general work along the line will be started as soon as tbe work can be done In the spring. If we cannot have an Interurban road between the two cities, let us get in­ to the harness, and complete the work as laid out by the law. The very fact of such a built road may induce an interurban line, which from here to Battle Creek would be less than twen­ ty miles and about the same distance for the proposed state trunk line road. The people of South Hastings, Balti­ more and Johnstown should wake up and go to work. By WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.

A Good Investment Does not the price of butter, eggs and pork appeal to you and make you wish you had more to sell? A farmer would not take^one crop after another from a field without strengthening the soil with a little extra fertilizer. The same rule applies to your stock. You get the same results from your hay and grain that you always did, but when you want more butter, more eggs or more pork from the same amount of feed, you will have to call on Dr, Hess for the extra stimulant. We have taken the Dr. Hess Agency, so it will be convenient for you to secure these remedies at home.

Fairy mosphere of rare pleasure. Mary Warth had opened her house to tbe young friends of ber petted ward. Adrian Worth did not appear in the festivities. While tho function was at It* climax be was seated in his study, lost in reverie. Tbe shadows as well as the sun­ shine In tbo life of beautiful Orthello drifted through his mind, forming a strange composite picture. Eighteen years previous, when be wa* a youth of fifteen, he had found one stormy wintry night on the door step of the house of which bis elder sister, Mary, was the mistress, a bas­ ket containing a tiny little child. A note gave to the abandoned child the quaint name Orthello. It en­ closed a wedding ring bearing initial* and a few words to the effect that the mother, widowed, homeless, prayed for tender care for tbe little one while she went to the hospital to die. Kind-hearted Miss Worth had heed­ ed the pleadings of Adrian to adopt the tiny wayfarer. Orthello had be­ come th* passion of hl* Ufe. A* she grew In brightness and beauty hla whole thought* became centered upon b*r. Her joyful childhood had b*en irradiated by his self sacrifice and in­ dulgence. When he became a college profes­ sor, the alm of hla life waa to provide for her education. Music seemed born within her. That day sh* had won th* high laurels made possible by hie devotion to her interest*. Tbe door opened and th* shaded lamp cast a flitting reflection across the floor. Orthello was at hla side, radiant and blooming In her pretty graduation dress. She seated berself on the arm of his chair and rested a fond arm upon hl* shoulder. "Guardy. dear,” she said with a little pout, "why have you deserted us all the evening?" I—I have had bocks to look over,” he said stumbling]?. “Beside*,” with a short laugh, "an old fellow like ma is somewhat out of place among your bright galaxy of youth and beauty.” “Oh, if anybody else said that—and Orthello tried to look fierce and dan­ gerous and kissed his cheek till be thrilled—and ran away, a veritable sprite of fleetnes* and grace. “This cannot oonthroe" spoke Adri­ an. sOTtouaiy. "I must not mar her Bto—I need not make my *** wt st shed I nust go ***»■* For two days Orthello was inconsol­ able, and Miss Worth wretched, when her brother informed them that he was thinking of accepting a more lu­ crative professorship abroad. "And, oh, Guardy!” sobbed Orthel­ lo, "to think ot your going away just aa I am ready to take a good position myself to pay you back for all the care and happiness of so many years! And the love, too! and she clung to him till be trembled with vivid emotions. And then, a heavier blow, the crisis —the end of all his hopes and ambi­ tions, it seemed. One morning a fashionable turnout halted Id front of tbe Worth cottage. An elderly elegantly attired lady alighted. She bad seen the name of the fair graduate in the newspaper. 1 “Orthello," an odd name—It waa her own. Her slster^Then the story came out; a sister, > driven from home by an angered fa­ ther for marrying a poor man. They. had beard of his death, but of bis wldgw never a trace. And Dow the name "Ortbello," had revived hope. Dates, tbe wedding; ring, the mother's features reproduced in her child—oh, at last, at last—reparatlon! She was wealthy, she must1 take her niece to her own home. i And Orthello went, and gloom and sadness enveloped tbe rose embower­ ed cottage. । At the end of a week Orthello wrote ' them—grieving for them truly, but faednated with th* glare and glitter of her new Ufe. Then a gloomy letter, then a plead­ ing one asking them to come to see ber. And then, one evening as Mie* Worth was quietly knitting in the lone­ ly sitting room a familiar stop echoed on the porch, and Orthello burst ia upon her. She waa pale, wearied. She threw hi si If Into the arms of the dear soul, a true mother to bar. Her words were: “Aad, Guardy? Oh, do not tell me he has gone away!" "No. dear,” answered Mis* Worth. “He 1* not going at all. He—h* has changed his miod." She did cot tell Ortbello why, for the sister suspected the truth—that Adrian had Intended to go away be­ cause of his love for the charming glrL "You—you—you!” cried Adrian, hearing her voice and coming into th* room. She flew to hl* anas, laugh­ ing, crying, resting there like a wan­ dering bird returned to Its home nest “Yes, ] have come back. I have run away back. Aad I mean to stay t“ declared Orthello.

And at last Adrian Worth under stood, and heaven seemed to open for him in a glorified vision of rapturous delight. (Copyright, i»U, by W. G. Chapman.)

EARLY PIONEERS OF WESTERN MICHIGAN NTI RBY REN AND WOMEN WHO MABE MICHIGAN HINTORY HAVE GONE TO GREAT REYONB. Hardships Danger, Privation, med Nelitade Entered, Hew They Came and Built Their Cabin*. In searching old records, we were greatly impressed by the recounting of experiences connected with the early settlements of Western Mich­ igan, presumably a type ot all pioneer life. Not many of our readers have any conception of joys and woes of ploneer life. The sturdy men and women who made Michigan history, have passed to tbe great beyond and the children of these people are too laid by the side ot their parents. It can truly be said the pioneer army has passed away, and tradition rather than true history is all that is left. ladles, and a royal feast of whole­ some food well prepared wns spread lor the busy workmen. A little later on a mulched floor of sawed lumber took the place of the spilt logs, and then another merry gath­ ering would take place, with violin music and dancing. In which even the man and woman of religious faith would join. There was no class distinction; there was no envy, no malice: "They lived in social unity, drank of the purling stream; A doctor, priest or lawyer were aeldom seen Their health it needed no repair no pious one forgot his prayer. How could they keep a lawyer where 1 'twas all harmony. A hardy race have passed to the tgreat beyond, but they left a heritage <of good deeds and an undying record (of noble self sacrificing heroism, as they pressed forward in the front 1 1ranks of advancing civilization. In the settlement of Michigan there came two classes: the forehanded or men ot some means, and the poor maa with only his hands and a stout heart, and strong desire to own a home of his own, as capital. Simultaneously both reached tbe eldorado, the one to erect mills, and further trade, the other to locate on eighty or forty acres of soil and carve out a home, either In tho sparsely wooded dis­ tricts, or the almost Impenetrable forests. The latter class were the real pio­ neers, young married or single, were imbued with the glorious prospect of a home of their home. Many brought their families with them and they came in ox teams and often some came on foot from some temporary haven near by. carrying their few be­ longings with them and living for days and weeks without seeing one white naan or woman, other than themselves. Log huts built by one man. assisted perhaps by a young wife were the rule for It was many miles to the neighbors. Crops flrst, a garden patch, potatoes, turnips, etc., beans, no provision for meats was needed as the country was full ot game. Wild berries supplied the delicacies, the maple the sweets, the marshes the hay, and the cow brought along, for the high price of meat had not struck tbe country. The keen bitted axe. the beetle and wedge, the strength of will and muscle soon made a beginning and the conscious­ ness of a home, buoyed the spirits and brought contentment Ox teams, sometimes a wagon, but more often a cart, was the traveling outfit to be seen wending their way along tbe wretched roadway or trails, leading to tlie great wilderness, the haunt of Indians und wild animals; the Indian as much dreaded as tbe wild beasts, for he had sullenly sub­ mitted to tho occupation of his hunt­ ing grounds. One Instance the writer heard from the lips of a' pioneer will show the treachery of the untamed savage. The pioneer was hunting near Gun lake, keen eyed and a perfect woods­ man, he was put on his guard by a fleeing deer which passed close to him. He dropped to the ground shelt­ ered by a tree; rightly guessing the deer was startled by* some hunter and suspidoulng that hunter to be an In­ dian he carefully raised his cap on a stick so as to expose it in the direc­ tion of the supposed enemy, he had not long to wait for denouement for the sharp crack of a rifle, and the whistle of a bullet, as well as a per­ forated cap. toM him ot his narrow escape. Tbe Indian sure ot bls vic­ tim stepped into the open, and was quickly covered by the white man's gun, but he took to his heels as soon as he got the motion from his ad­ versary to go. He could easily have killed the red man but Mr. Cook did not waat to shed human blood. The Indian who was a familiar figure In that vicinity, was never afterward seen about the section. The story as related was told by a brother of Daniel Cook who owned and operated a saw mill in the south part of the city, and who for many years was a newspaper publisher. In Niles, Mich. To return to the story of the emi­ grant and his outfit The cart or wagon with its hickory or oak bows supporting a canvas shelter, and containing the simplest of household goods, provisions and simple tools, packed closely on top of which the young wife and perhaps a youngster or two, a cow tied behind the outfit, the man of affairs with an ox goad, walking by the side of the not too well broke "steers'' furnished a pic­ ture that Jim Mason would have been proud to take. Daily these outfits could be seen, singly on in groups and af­ ter 1845. they were so multi­ plied as to be scarcely noted. It was only a few years until nil the best lands had been entered. Then came the building ot better houses but still of logs.

Vutoaebed by War, In her article on the island ot Chin­ coteague In Harper’s for October, Maude Radford Warren tells of the strange situation In which the island, a part of the state of Virginia, found itself in the civil war. Even in the civil war the islanders showed their characteristic curious mixture of a lalsoer-faire attitude and a tendency to take enough care for the morrow to be sure of a good liv­ ing. Chincoteague was one of the first places to be visited by tbe federal troops, and something like forty men enlisted; but the island luck held, and it seems that they saw no active fight­ ing. Some houses flew tbe confeder­ ate flag, two or three men joined the southern forces; a few sympathizers put out the light-house lamp, but it was promptly lighted again by island­ ers who wanted permits for their oys­ ter boats to run up to Pennsylvania and New York. The federal soldiers tore up a few fence stakes belonging to old ladies and demolished the benches of the Methodist church. A negro company came, but even they were not resented deeply. Chinco­ teague Is almost the only part of Vir­ ginia where there are no wounds left, physical or mental, to mark tbe signs of a civil war. Since there la so much comfort, no real poverty, and very little sickness, it Is no wonder that Chincoteague has been called the Island Paradise. Good Roads. CHnton county has voted to raise |40,000 for good roads in 1914. It lb the right way to get good roads. Genessee county road commission­ ers asked for another issue of bonds in addition to the 150,000 raised this year. This will make, estimated, 75 miles more of good roads. There is no question of the salu­ tary principle in the building of good roads. No county should lose the op­ portunity to avail themselves of state aid. and a well organized county roads commission Is needed. There is a trunk line road through Barry county, running from Battle Creek to Grand Rapids passing through the towns of Johnstown, Baltimore, Hast­ ings, Hastings city. Rutland. Irving and Middleville. Irving and Hastings townships have the least miles,, but are very important links, in the road. There are several miles of the road now graveled, but which will have to be made wider to comply with the state law requirements. Barry coun­ ty is specially fortunate in having ex­ cellent gravel, so that long distance hauls may be avoided. We hope to see active work to finish this line to completion before another year passes. The people of Johns­ town, Baltimore and Hasting* town­ ships should get together at some central point and form a Good Roads District. None too early to begin. Good roads enhance all property along the line of such roads. Henry A. Johnston, a business man of L’Anse. Mish., writes: "For years Foley'* Honey and Tar Compound for cough* and colds has been our family medicine. We give it to our children, who like it on account of It* pleasant taste.

Tbe direct effect that changing bad road* into good road* has upon land value* and marketing prices, a* well a* the general economic welfare of tbe community, is shown In several concrete illustrations which were gathered by the United State* de­ partment of agriculture. In Lee county, Virginia, a farmer owned 100 acre* which he offered to sell for IL800. In 1*08 bls road waa improved, and although the farmer fought the improvement, he ha* since refused 13,000 for his farm. A near-by tract of 188 acres i* said to have been sold for ffi.OOO. After road improvement, tbe same farm was sold Cor 29.09*. In Johnson county. Alabama, the people voted a bond lasae for >150.000 for road improvement. The selling value at that time was |G to *15 per acre. The selling price is now from >15 to 135 per acre. In another state, two farmers liv­ ing at equal distance from a cotton market learned by telephone that cot­ ton had gone up in price one dollar per bale. The farmer on the bad road hauled one bale of cotton which was alt be could get over that road. The other fanner on the good road waa able to haul four bales. The man on the good road gained four dollar* by the rise In price, while his neigh­ bor on the bad road gained only one dollar. A farmer In Sullivan county, Tennessee, had 100 bushel* of Irish potatoes which he intended to market during the winter. Owing to bed roads, he was unable to haul the pota­ toes at bIL They rotted In the cellar. Tn tbe meantime, the price of pota­ toes at a market point went u high aa |1.40 per bushel.

ROADS ASP COST OF UVING Good Road la Nut Only Convenience and Pleasure, But Is an Actual Economic Necessity. Until very recently the vast major­ ity of people failed to understand that the good road is not a mere country dweller's convenience, or the means to motorists' pleasure, but that It ta an actual economic necessity, says Suburban Ufe MagazineThat It costs the farmer* of this country more for a ten-nlle haul of produce from farm to town than It doe* to ship that produce from New York to London, ta a fact That it costs farmer* abroad from cue-half to one-tenth as much to haul a ton a mile on a road as tt does the farmers of this country, 1* another tact. That practically every pound of flesh and bushel of wheat we consume must travel over a road at least once and sometime* twice be­ fore we eat It, is a third fact The three are tbe answer to one part of the question: “Why doe* It coat so must to live?" Someone has to pay tor the depreciation in the value of horse* aad vehicles caused by poor roads Someone bus to pay tor tbe extra time It take* to haul cotton to market, when two mules are required to haul two bales ten mile* In one day. when on a good road the same two mules could haul 24 bales in the same time with the same effort.

Anspfekas Opening *f Lecture Ceane The lecture course wu auspicious­ ly opened Monday evening nt the M. E. church by Prof. Balmer and his Kaffir boys. The entertainment given by Mr. Balmer and his boys Is both unique and instructive.

DEMOCRATS WIN IN FALL ELECTIONS The elections Tuesday are Indeed gratifying to all lovers of good gov­ ernment. The overwhelming defeat of Tammany In Now York city, coun­ ty and state, has wiped out a blot on the escutchon of the democratic par­ ly. Republican speakers and papers are robbed of their most favored weapon, the boss tuI? of graft rid­ den New York, where republicans, progressives and Antl-Tammany democrats united upon one set of candidates to lash the tiger from his lair, into the open where he was smothered by a rain of ballots that will prevent any resuscitation. Mur­ phy the chief will be powerless to enforce his edicts, or gather from vice and graft, the thousands of Hl gotten gains. Nor is this victory all that has been achieved by the democrats. The noble fight at the Baltimore conven­ tion. was the entering wedge to the reform the people were anxiously looking for, and the election of Wil­ son was but the first step toward the return of the nation to its government by the people. Democrats elect a governor in New Jersey and have elected a democrat­ ic legislature. The victory means an Indorsement of President Wilson, by his own state. Massachusetts electa a democrat for governor, the present lieutenant governor of the state. The democrat­ ic vote increasing. Maryland elects by popular vote :i democrat to United States sena’e. and democratic state officials and both branches of the legislature. Kentucky is democratic throughout. Indiana is also democratic in the municipal and county elections. For the fourth time C. J. French, n stone cutter, has been elected mayor of Concord. New Hampshire; he is a democrat, as was his opponent, but labor won. Prohibition won in several In­ stances, in the anti-saloon fight in Illinois, the vote of women swelling the prohibition vote; in about four to one ratio. The vote in Ohio, centered In mayoralty contests in Cleveland and Cincinnati; the first elects a demo­ crat, the latter a republican. Virginia elects entire democratic ticket, there being no other ticket in the field. Oregon votes for sterilisation of habitual criminals; also ratifies the workmen’s compensation set passed by the legislature. The entire trend of election returns shows great gains for the democratic party. “Paul Revere” Saeeenfully Give®. The pretty little musical comedy, ..Paul Revere," was presented by local talent Thursday and Friday evenings, under the direction of John Wilson Dodge, the author of the production, who took the part of Revere. The parts were all creditably acted. Miss Martha Striker had the role of the heroine. Molly Faxton; Miss Aimee Renkes, of the younger sister; Miss Castelein, of Dorothy Faxton; Harold Sheffield, of Mr. Faxton; Maurice Hill, of the British Captain Marks; Walter Phelps, of the comical Irishman; Har­ ry Sparks, of Lieut. Day, and Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Davis, of the old negro ser­ vants. All performed their several parts .very successfully. The members of the chorus that made several entries during the performance, singing and dancing most pleasingly, deserve their full share of commendation for the effectiveness of their work. Thursday night’s attendance was fairly good, but on Friday night the house was very small. Pomona Grange. Pomona grange will meet with Glass Creek grange Nov. 12, with the follow­ ing program: Opening song by the members. Music—Glass Creek band. Recitation—Mrs. Carrie McDonald.

HASTINGS BOY 9 GOOD FRED REHUR PLAYING ON THE STRONG (’. OF M. FRESH. NAN ELEVEN His Work Shows Up Well and Friend* Think He Will Moke Varsity Next SeuNuii. Hastings is very' much upon the map when it comes to a question of football at our great state university and it is Fred Rchor with his 243 pounds of strength and German grit that are turning the trick. Fred, who graduated from the local high school last June, entered the U. of M. this fall and experienced no difficulty in making the all-fresh team and his work has been the object of much favorable comment by his fel­ low students, the coaches and the dally papers. He ip a tower of strength, standing over six feet in helghth, and as above stated tipping the scales at 243 pounds. For a man of his slxe Fred is remarkably fast on his feet Fred is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Rebor of this city. A young man with the best of habit* and a pleasant disposition, he has a host of friends who are proud of his success on the gridiron. C*®rt la Sesskn This Week. It was the intention of the circuit court to renew the trial of jury cases Monday morning, and complete the docket if possible this week. Owing to the illness of Court Stenographer Hoedemaker, however, it was neces­ sary to adjourn until Tuesday, when a stenographer was obtained from Jackson. Since then the case of Roy James vs. Marion Shores for slander and false Imprisonment has been on trial and It Is expected the case will go to the Jury tomorrow. It is prac­ tically certain that no other jury case will be brought on until t(ie No­ vember term which will open on the 24th. Death of Mieha el Prosser. After an illness of more than a year Michael Prosser passed away Satur­ day night, aged of. years. He was bom in Ohio, Jan, 27, 1857. He came to Hastings when a boy and has been a resident of this city ever since. He leaves a wife and one daughter and many, friends to mourn his loss. The funeral was held from St Rose chapel Tuesday morning and llie re­ mains laid to rest In Mt Calvary cemetery. The friends from out of the city who attended the funeral were ar. fol­ lows: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fielding, of Detroit: Mat Murphy, of Williams­ ton: Will and Guy Caster of Toledo, and Edward Lenihan. of Kalamazoo. Tbe Coe's Get Ceel ReeepUeu. The Coe brothers who finished a thirty day sentence for failure’to pro­ vide for their respective families, a week ago last Sunday called at the county house Saturday, to visit their wives; only one ventured into the building, the other warming his shins on the railroad track awaiting the success of his brother’s venture. The reception was rather a cool one for the visitor; he was allowed to see his wife, and converse with her In the presence of Mrs. Castelein. the matron. The wife bad collected $3.00 of wages coming to him, but his de­ mand for it was not compiled with on the suggestion of Mrs. Castelein, the woman herself being reluctant to give It up, nor did she show any dis­ position to resume relations with her improvident spouse. The Coe’s lived, or existed, in Bowne last summer, until they were evicted from the shack they were staying In and they took possession of a shed at one of the churches, where they stored their goods, and the church people are anxious to get rid of the unwelcome property. Although the women are demented they seem to realize they are better off nt the county farm, than roaming about the country without home or shelter. It is to be regretted we have no contract with the Detroit House of Correction, or a county stone pile oroad gang, that these lazy louts, could be put at work to earn something for the support of their families. At present counties having no such con­ tracts are compelled to furnish board with nothing to do for these deducts. “The “Stars’* Will Shine Next Tuesday Mention was made in these columns Inst week of the big meeting which Hastings Chapter. No. 7. O. E. 8. was preparing to hold Nov. 11th. Arrange­ ments have now been practically com­ pleted.

The Banner hns taken what appear* to be a very sorry attitude towards the present American policy in Mex­ ico—an attitude that Is more In sympathy with the Mexican adventur­ er Huerta than with the American president, Woodrow Wilson. Instead of waiting until the administration’* efforts to settle this most vexatious problem have reached a point that will decide their wisdom or their un­ wisdom, our contemporary assumes that the policy has already failed and made this country “the laughing stock of the nations of the world,” and "humorously grotesque." And yet all tho nations of the world are at the present moment, acquiescing in the American position and wait­ ing for the United States to develop its policy in dealing with Huerta. According to the superior states­ manship of the Banner President Wil­ son’s first mistake was in recalling Ambassador Wilson, instead of fol­ lowing his advice. And yet, this ex­ ambassador is at present engaged in going about the country, trying to dis­ credit his own government and defend the upstart Huerta! The very fact that he took a partisan’s Interest In Huerta before he left the Mexican capital, Instead of preserving such an attitude of impartiality as the conditions required of him. and tho very fact that he was not in sympathy with President Wilson’s attempt to settle the complicated Mexican situa­ tion on a basis of internal peace and “TWENTY NINETY” “2090’* Is i slitmmci ill nil Blue Serge SUIT Made up for men who like to be well dressed, in the latest three but­ ton style of sack coat, single breasted and plain vest without col­ lar, and regular cut trousers.

Hmm 74 Hastings, Mich. equity for tlie Mexican people, lint nympnthizeil with the European min­ ister* In Mexico in their recognition of Huerta, were the strongest kind of reasons why Anibmmador Wlhton should be recalled. At least that <a tho way It will look to most Ameri­ cans. if not to our un-Anierlcnn con­ temporary. Any one with the most elementary knowledge of diplomacy knows that a government must have representatives In foreign countries who are In sympathy with the policy of their own government and not hostile to It. President Wilson did the most sensible thing he could do when he released from duty an am­ bassador who was misrepresenting the administration instead of co­ operating with it. The Banner’s second criticism !s equally pointless. The president sent a personal friend. Mr. Hale, to travel "incognito up and down through that disturbed land as a sort of spy.” It says such a course is “shabby." o:i the part of an administration thnt Is "posing as a friend to unhappy Mex­ ico.” Now If the president had rea­ son to suspect thnt the (information he was getting from Ambassador Wilson was colored, repressed, dis­ torted, and not nt all reliable, mid if it was exceedingly important to- tho success of the administration plans for composing unhappy Mexico that the exact conditions be learned, what more sensible thnn to send n special friend to study the facts nnd report them to the president in order thnt he might act Intelligently? Will the Banner suggest nnything more rea­ sonable? Then, according to our contem­ porary it was a blunder to send Ex­ Gov. Lind to Mexico, “not ns an am­ bassador. but ns a special representa­ tive.” In the name of common sense, how could the United States send an ambassador to a provisional govern­ ment, which it refuses to recognize? Tills country, acting on a higher plane than one of expediency, refuses to recognize the Huerta, government, founded upon force and bloodshed and held together by fear. It wants to see the sister republics of the west­ ern hemisphere and especially Mex­ ico, republican In reality and not in name only, their common people se­ cure in their rights, protected from lawless, cruel dictators like Huerta, and freed forever from the terrible incubus of civil war and anarchy, such ax today arc so prevalent tn most Latin-American countries. “Tho development of constitutional liberty anil world human rights, the .nninteninice of national Integrity as rpalnst material interests—thnt is our i reed. “I want to take this occasion to say. too. that the United States will not again seek to secure one additional foot of territory by conquest. She will devote herself to showing an hon­ est and fruitful use of tho territory file hns and she must regard it as one of the duties of friendship to see thnt from no quarter are material interests made superior to human liberty and national comity. “We have seen material Interests threaten constitutional liberty In Am­ erica, so we know how to sympathize. 1 would rather belong to a poor nation that Is free than a rich nation which hns censed to love freedom. Morali­ ty and not expediency is the thing that must guide us. and we must nev­ er condone Iniquity.” Learning Slowly, But Learning, One of the effects of the new tariff law is shown by tho drop in steel bars of $6 per ton. but there is a raise of 2 cents a dozen for eggs since the same law repealed tho 5 cents a dozen on Canada eggs: butter has advanced so it has become a luxury since the tariff on butter of one cent a pound was repealed. Potatoes, too, have greatly advanced and are nearly dou­ ble the price, ns when the tariff of 25 cents a bushel was In force. Our farm­ er friends are beginning to learn that supply nnd demand govern the price of farm products. Local production may affect prices in localities but the general trend of farm produce prices is governed by world’s product in hand or prospective. Wheat Just now Is at low ebb—below the Canadian prices, because there Is an optimistic outlook for next year's crop, and further because of an unusually good crop the past yenr. This may all change before the close of the year or before May next when the crop can be estimated with any degree of accuracy. The facts arc. the farmer must sell his products in season ns they are mostly perishable, and he must buy what he needs or wants from a mo­ nopoly protected market. Canadian funner is no better off. Supply and demand as well as transportation and handling charges govern. We learn slowly, but wc are learning. Pertinent Qnextlon.

"Sorry, judge. Can I help yon out of It In any way?" questioned Martin Blake, one of the bumble ones of tbe village. “Fm afraid not," replied Mr. Grant tn a really worried and mournful tone of voice. Tvs put my foot in It bad and deep, rd give a lot to gat back on the solid rock. I declare, it’s get­ ting on my nerves and 1 dread seeing my wtfelHoneot, earneat Martin looked inforested and sympathetic. It waa out of tho nritjnery to have the judge more than barely notice him. To have him almont make a confident of him stunned Martin and raised his hopes vastly. Those hopes of tbs ardent young man centered about the bonniest girt in Grafton—Jessie, tho judge's only danghfor. Martin loved her from the depths of his heart and Jessie as fer­ vently returned tho sentiment. Ftor tbs past six months, however, the judge had thrown very cold water on tho aspirations of the young man. The sudden acquisition of quite a fortune front a relative had given the judge some now grand ideas. Martin waa poor, Jseale was an heiress. Tho match was unequal. He cast about rsnrovtag to a more aristocratic town. He cut quite a swath, he fancied, go­ ing with his family to a fashionable watering place. He had just returned looking both­ ered and dismal. Martin, missing Jes­ sie dreadfully, was taking tbe sat­ isfaction of strolling by tbe deserted Grant home, thinking fondly of the doer one It had sheltered, when he camo acrons the judge seated on tho oM hbrse block, rueful but friendly. A ooavareatloa had ensued. To« He, It’s all along of my want­ ing to got to a bigger town. Martin." aomewhat sheepishly explained the judge- "Whea we started on our out­ "1 guess there’s no doubt of that" "I see a way out of this.” "You do!" cried the judge eagerly. "Martin,'' ho added, “there la not much 1 wouldn't do for yon it you help me out of thio awful dilemma,'' and he grasped the hand of the young man fervently. "Judge, leave it all to me," said Martin grandly. "Just go about your bosinoM In the regular way, coms back here in a week and I'll have these Morgan people on tho run. I chan want to get in touch with your lawyer, though maybe." TU fix that all right," said tho judge. That afternoon Martin set at work on tho scheme which ho hoped would result In the winning of a wife. Ho visited flrot on old colored man of numerous family at the edge of tho town. Hs called upon ths town plum­ ber and at the village drag store. Ho had a long confab with two mis­ chievous urchins. Each of these co­ conspirators were coached thoroughly as to the part they were to play in an effort to scare tho Morgan family away from Grafton. When, the next morning, tbs new prospective residenten arrived, they found Martin bustling about assum­ ing tbs role of a person who bad boon deputised to overhaul the place. "1 declare! what is that horrible odor?" exclaimed Mrs. Morgan, aa she entered the house. Martin pointed to the plumber ham­ mering at some pipes, mumbled some­ thing about “hunting for sewer gas," and hustled outside after whispering to the plumber "to use soma more of that chemical." A series of frightful screams soon issued from the cellar. Up tbe stalro came flying one of the misses of the family. She was fairly hysterical, she nearly fainted way. Two snakes, a toad and some frogs had crossed her path In the cellar! Solemnly Martin deplored the attraction damp cellars bad for reptiles—which he had paid two juve­ niles one-half a dollar to provide. Next door to the Grant place waa a small house that had been vacant for years. It was temporarily occu­ pied that day, however. In fact, ths plotful Martin had especially hired Mr. Ephriam Brown, whitewasher, and bls numerous family to tabs possss slon of the domicils. Mra Morgan, inspecting ths gardaa. earns to a halt aa an open space in the shrubbery showed tho dividing faaos. Beyond it a great washing Sauted from tbe clothes linn A tat mammy waa bustling about, with oaohalf doa en plcanianlee at her heels. Old Eph was splitting wood. On the faces set four ebony cherubs eating bread and butter. "For mercy's saba?" cried Mrs. Mor­ gan—“who are they?" “Tour neighbors,*' responded Martin glibly—“very well behaved people, too." . "But—black!" almost shrieked the sensitive lady and collapsed to a gar­ den seat. That settled it Within the hour Mr. Morgan wan down to the office of the lawyer. Willingly he canceled the contract of purchase and received back Ma forfeit money. A new place in the town had come up for sale, so a wealthy investor was not lost to ths community. A telegram brought Mr. Grant to the village. Jubilant and excited. 'You made it, didn't you!" he cried, slapping Martin on tbe shoulder in n truly fatherly way. "Tea, air,*’ replied Martin modestly. "Now then, what can I do for you in appreciation of your good endeav­ ors?" "Can’t you guess?*’ queried Martin, looking the judge straight in ths eyes. "I think 1 can," was tho response, with a grim smile. "My big Mean have come down a peg, Martin, and so have I. Ton seem to know bow to manage things.

By 1MILY F. SMITH. < --- -j—— Off to Market The peach trait spot first appears on the trait aa a dark brownish or Mack speck about the site of a pin bead, says a writer In the Farmer's Barlow. In a taw weeks it (rows onettghth to bne-qaartor of an Inch In dia­ meter and la gensrally round. It then baa a very dark, almost black center around which la a dark brown ring, and the outer margin of the apot la reddish In color. The upper portion of the peach, aa. it grown on the tree, seems to be affocted more than tho lower portion. Thia shows that very likely the spores oome from the branches above those upon which tbe peaches grow. The trouble is always worse In closely set orchards where shade Is dense, and It la also found to be worse in the center rather than on the outside, rows of such orchards. Thia is due, no doubt, to the more moist condition found in such orchards. A comparatively moist season ta undoubtedly more favorable for the growth of the fungus than a dry one. Careful investigation and several experiments have been made to de­ termine when and what kind of spray should be used to control the peach trait spot, with the following condn■toos: . Bpray in the fall with lime sulphur of Bordeaux. Hither a good com­ mercial brand of lime sulphur, one mDoq to ten gallons of water, or homemade lime sulphur, twenty pounds of lime and fifteen pounds of sulphur to fifty gallons of water, can be used with good results. If Bor­ deaux la used, make as follows: Use four pounds of copper sulphate (blue­ stone), five pounds of stone lime to fifty gallons of water. First dissolve ths copper sulphate In either hot or cold water; dilute it by adding water to make twenty-five gallons of the solution. Slack tho stone lime and dilute with water to twenty-five gal­ lons, making a milk of lime. Pour the copper sulphate and milk of lime so­ lutions together into the spray bar­ rel or tank through a medium fine sieve. Apply either the lime sulphur or Bordeaux sprays in the fall as soon aa most of tbe leaves have fallen. This generally can be done the latter part of October or the first part of November. The writer prefers lime ; sulphur to Bordeaux, but either will control tbe trouble if the spraying Is thoroughly done. Do not use a metal spray tank for tbe use of Bordeaux unless it is lined or made of copper, as It will eat into the metal. Prune heavily in late winter to al­ low the sun to penetrate to the branches and leaves during the sum­ mer. If the trees are set so closely as to crowd, it would be well to cat out every other one in tbe rows so that the trees alternate In tho raws. SHELTER FOR FARM TOOLS AND MACHINERY Are yon going to allow those road-tools and machinery to set out In the weather all fall, winter, and early spring, rusting out worse than they wear out? Ton paid out hard cash for them. Why not seo that they are properly sbedded. and thus prolong their usefulness? REDUCING COST OF USEFUL NOTES ON FARM HORSE POWER LATE GARDEN WORK Too Few Animal* Moans That After Crop* Are ftenwvad Al OU TImm in Hand WS Be Over­ VinM, Plante and Weeds Should Be Remeved. worked, Causing Loos. TO, UmrlMt ws» <*> r^wo, u, SMt ef term borne power is to keep fewer horses No doubt many terms carry ■ore horses than necessary to do tbe term work, but If the number la re­ duced to the point where the farm work cannot be efficiently done more serious loss In the other direction will result. Too few horses means that those tn hand will be overworked, a positive loes, or that some work that should be done will be alighted. It is very common, however, to find ou some farms two, three or mors Idte horsse right through the busiest sea­ son. It takes good judgment and much experience to determine tbe correct di­ viding line, but it Is a phase of tho question well worth very careful con­ sideration. " Some small farms carry machinery too large for tbe size of the farm. A Tfiacts farm, all tillable, has no busi­ ness carrying machinery that requires tour horses for bsullng. In that case one or two extra horses will be idle the larger part of the year. Three good horses should do all the work on a farm of that size, and the extra horse Is eating up profits. Big machinery is a great advantage on a large farm, but It Is out of place on a small farm. Pig tseewtialeTo make tall pigs do well, they mast be provided with warm Bleeptag quarters at night, and fined with ro»> shtae during the day. It la a very good plan to mulch tho rhubarb plants with a lot of corn stalks or coarse grass. This will pro­ tect the plants during the winter, and also keep weeds from choking tbs plants if kept on after cultivation la the spring. Unless great care is taken la the selection of home-grown seed, It in wiser to buy them of a reliable seed muse. After the crops are all removes bum tbe garden, rake up all old vinos, plants and weeds of every descrip­ tion, and burn them. Borne people say that it le better to allow tho old vines and even thweeds to rot on tho ground In the tall, but we think it better to clean up thoroughly and use stable manure to supply the necessary humus. If weeds are allowed to lie in tbe garden over winter, the seeds will bo ready for business in the spring long before It Is time to plant vegetables. If celery is to be brought into a storage bouse for the winter, cut the tap-root, lift It from the ground, and then with a strong knife cut off tho branching roots and most of the earth. If tbe garden la to bave a heavy coat of manure, why not apply it bow? Manure should be put on be­ fore the ground Is turned over. In tbe spring a good disking or work with a spade win put it in fins oondb dittos. In this life there is always some­ thing we bave time for. However im­ portant the Issue of our present oc-cupation, there are possibilities which may light upon us and en­ gross us until they take wings and fly away. Mr. NA- Flurry baa never been still long enough for any possibili­ ties to light on him. He Is one of those distressing­ ly busy men that remind you of a Waterbury watch; they wind and wind and when they get wound, they run and run and next they do it all over again. Mr. Flurry baa not accomplished very much, be­ cause he baa al­ ways been in such a hurry that he hadn’t time. One morning at the first ring of the alarm clock, set for six, Mr, Flurry fall out of bed, plunged Into bis clothes, snatched his breakfast, and having a halt hour to kill, he awakened tho baby and tried to dress IL He let it fall, and as tbe infant had been badl? spoiled by Its mother, it began to cry, SO he gave It to Mrs. Flurry, and wor­ ried the dog until he saw a car com­ ing. As usual, it waa not the right car. He would have torn to the office, any­ way. had not Airs .Flurry happened to think of something at the last min­ ute. as she always did. Inveigling bim into a kin, she held onto his collar and said: "Dear, 1 know bow awfully in a bur­ ry you are, and I just hate to ask you—’’ “Drop it! Stop It!" snapped Nr. Flurry, grabbing bls bat "I'm not go­ ing past the grocery at all. I don’t expect to make a speech with ths butcher, baker or candlestick maker tats side of Christmas. Jerusalem!

Do I look like a chambermaid or a policeman TI am a business man, madam, working with tbs force of a hydroetatic press to sup­ ply yon with food and finery, and hero you hang on like a wood tick." He flung her off and dashed out, only to fall over a rustle chair. Mr. Harry swung the chair on high, baaged it against the side of tho horse, and pitched It over tbe beck fence. Dur­ ing that psychological moment Mr. Flurry felt something crawling across the back of hie handIt was nothing but a wasp, a little creature that God created for reasons of his own. Mr. Flurry bad seen hundreds of wasps before, and an a class he cares nothing for them. Ha io not afraid of them. Indeed, he has been heard to say that he would not hesitate to walk tato a swarm of them If he wanted to. The wasp crawled slowly up to his elbow, browsed around and crawled back. It did not walk very heavy, still Mr. Hurry could bear aad foot Ito steps clear back to bin teething time. Mra. Flurry came to the kitchen door. She saw him kneeling, with one hand la tbe grans and tho other rigid ta the air, an expression of prayerful contemplation on bis chastened eoestenance, and she felt more kindly to­ ward him and happier than she had been stece tho day before she was married. She went to him and kissed him. "My owaect," she murmured, "I beg you not to be sorry about the naaghty things you have said to me. I know you didn’t mean them. You are my own dear. Why don't you get up? Are you going to kneel there and not speak and just get purple in the face until I forgive you? You needn’t I have al­ ready forgiven you. and I’m glad it ell happened, because we understand each other better, now. What is the matter with your arm? la it paralyzed? Let mo see. What Is that wasp doing up your sleeve? Why don’t you shake It out?" "Shaking before taking is the nat­ ural order," he answered, In a low tone. “The wasp is already there; it has arrived; and I want It to feel free to leave without mutual unpleasantaesaf" While he was making himself out a modem Slddartha, in a kind of mono­ tone that wouldn't offend the wasp. Mra. Flurry got it by the head ana dropped it In the rain barrel.

A farmer would not take'one crop after another from a field without strengthening the soil with a little extra fertilizer. The same rule applies to your stock. You get the same results from your hay and grain that you always did, but when you want more butter, more eggs or more pork from the same amount of feed, you will have to call on Dr. Hess for the extra stimulant. We have taken the Dr. Hess Agency, so it will be convenient for you to secure these remedies at home.

Carveth & Stebbins THE REXALL DRUGGISTS Phone 31 EXPLAINS IFFECT OF TARIFF ON RETAILER Goods Delivered little difference in the cost to the re­ tailer. When the retailer's extraor­ dinary coot of merchandising is add­ ed, the price to th* consumer on such articles will be about the same as the Amerlcan-madearticle at present As a rule. European manufacturers have found it best to sell the higher class of merchandise in America. The result will be that tfe American man­ ufacturers will find new competition tor quality on their better grades ot merchandise. Much is done in manufacturing to matching "the competing manufac­ turer’s goods. Heretofore, the Am­ erican manufacturer has had to com­ pete only with his neighbor. On quality, he now must compete not only with hl* neighbor but with for­ eign manufacturers as well. Not only on quality must he com­ pete, but he must also match up the new fabrics, new patterns, new styles nnd new inventions that are brought out and developed by the for­ eign manufacturers. This will tend to give the retailer a greater opportunity to find values to his merchandise and will be to turn reflected to the consumer in better products. American manufacturers will be compelled not only to furnish the most interesting patterns and fabrics, but they will also be in competition to put into this merchandise the same, or better, material than most Euro­ pean manufacturer*. So this condition confronts the re­ tailer: Since the merchant ha* been able to think, every democratic orator ha* told hi* hearer* that the one and only way to secure lower prices was to re­ duce the tariff. Thus It has become a sort of religion with many con­ sumer* In the country to believe that a reduction to dntleo Immediately would lower prices. Buch a result will not come under the new law. It is possible, ye* probable, that the public will question the good faith of their retailers who will not be able to give lower price* notwithstanding the fund hopes of the public. The merchant is the last man to pass goods to the consumer for final consumption. He 1* the one who must bear the burden of the blame if his prices are not reduced. He must do all the explaining. He will have no easy time. It therefore becomes the duty of tho merchant—a duty he owes to himself and to his customer*—to em­ phasize in every possible way the reasons why lower prices will not prevail. This he should do through personal explanation, through the as­ sistance of his salespeople who should know the facts, through the columns ot his local newspapers and bls ad­ vertising columns. He should show that lower prices will not prevail for the present, nnd why. And he should point out that If they do prevail eventually, it will not be until the great amount ot foreign merchandise is placed upon the mar­ ket in competition with domestic products. But his explanation should not tall to emphasize the fact that the open­ ing of the avenues ot trade between Europe and America will help very materially to Increase the quality of the general merchandise sold over the retail counter. .

The public pays the piper while politicians divide the spoils. Men who think more about building political fences than they do about building roads and who consid­ er a road commissionership merely an a highway to political preferment are too often placed in charge of road construction. They shift with th<j winds of politics and no sooner do they actually learn something about road building than they are kicked out of offlee and new men placed In charge with friends to reward by giv­ ing them job* as road builders. "Think of what that annual waste of $50,000,000 would do towards Im­ proving the highways of tbe country districts.

France admittedly hat the beet roads eyatem so far devised, and its national roads constitute about per cent, of the 365,000 miles In the whole country. The national roads, maintained en­ tirely by the government, are con­ structed 42 feet wide between ditches, and lead from tbe capital to the prin­ cipal cities, ports and commercial centers, and between the principal cities. With the departmental or state roads, and commercial roads of differ­ ent classes, the national government has nothing to do except to deter­ mine their width, which is fixed by general laws according to their classi­ fication. The United States has two and a half times the population of France, and about six times the road milage. To balance this difference, a series of national roads which would connect our capitals and principal cities would duly amount to about 2% per cent of the 2,200,000 miles of roads in thia country aa compared with the 6^4 per cent. In France, bring­ ing the mileage of national roads per person in the United States about tho same as in France. With our enormous resources await­ ing development by the extension ot our road systems, there seems no rea­ son why we should not proceed with the work of building national roads, writes Lewis R. Speare in the Illinois Farmer. National roads building did not ruin France; it made France great The idea of building up a political machine out of a road construction bureau does not deserve considera­ tion. In an of the important govern­ mental work being carried on it seems the policy of all parties to see that it is conducted economically and honestly, whatever party chances to be In power. A fair instance of that la the valuation of the railroads of the country which Is just about to begin, In which civil service examinations will soon be held for the selection ot several thousand civil and mechanical M. Fornand Bordas. a leading French engineer, writing for the third international road congress, now In session in London, says: 'The national roads, which • connect the capital to the frontiers and to tbe large towns, or else form a connecting link botween the more densely populated centers, are of the greatest interest to the country as a whole, not only from an economic point ot view but also from a strategic one, as assuring communications between points at tong distances apart It Is therefore essential that their general trend, gen­ eral plan, and width, should be settled unfettered by local Influences." This is the idea that the A. A. A. Nattoual Good Roads board have boon and are endeavoring to Impress upon the lawmakers ot this country. It seems as though plans which have been so eminently successful in other eountriss, and productive of such ex­ eelect results, are worthy of a trial bore. . FEW VALUESJN GOOD ROADS AddiB Fresdem and Meassree Are Among Some of the Real Bewefita of Lower Coot of Hauling. Five miles to the picnic ground­ does that mean for you an hour's hard work guiding your team over "chugs*’ and ruts and around and through mud­ boles, with tired horses and soiled clothes when you get there, or does ft mean a pleasant drive of thirty mtautes or less with no exertion on your part and little on the part of your team? In the winter when tbe plays and lectures come to your town, can you drive In and arrive as neat and calm ns any townsman, or do you think of an the long stretches of bad roads between you and the town hall, and decide to stay at home rather than face them? Good roads are needed not only be­ cause they' save the fanner money and increase land values, but because In a very real sense they bring him nearer to all the rest of the world, nnd enable him and his family to share in pleasures and privileges often out of his reach when roads are bad, says the Progressive Farmer. When you go to figure on tho cost and tbe value of Improved highways, do not forget that they have a real and a great value in the added enjoy­ ment and tbe added freedom they bring; and that this Is a benefit not less real than a reduction in the cost of the hauling you do. Test With Pigs. In a feeding test with 80 pigs, last­ ing 160 days, on a ration of corn chop, buttermilk and barley, and sorghum forage, conducted at the Oklahoma station, the average daily gain was .61 pound as compared with a gain of 1.22 pounds on corn chop and but­ termilk. A lot of hogs turned into a field of corn yielding at a rate of only 17 buabgfe par acre nude a gain of 1-2 pounds per head. Estimating the value of the groin at seven cents per pound, tbs bv returned a value of 0.11 seals ffisr bushel. RAISING THE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER «. 1918. POPPY Chinese Backslide on Their Agree­ ment Not to Boom Business In Opium. London.—The report of Sir J. N. Jordan, British minister lo China, on | the opium question Indicates that | there has been some backsliding in the effort to suppress the cultivation of the poppy since the introduction ot the republican regime. The report declares that since tbe fall of the Sfanchus the policy of sup­ pression agreed upon between China and Great Britain has been weakened and that there has been an immense recrudenseence in the cultivation ot the drug. In the provinces ot Anhui. Hunan and Shantung tbe campaign tor the suppression ot the cultivation of the plant his been sueeeasful, and in eonsequence the importation ot Indian opium into these provinces will cease. But investigation in other parts of the republic tells a different tale. In many of the provinces the authorities are powerless to prevent cultivation. In others there Is collusion between the powers and the growers, and in atm others the officials are not inclined to deprive themselves ot a rich source of revenue. The reports, however, are not all from official sources, many being sup­ plied by missionaries and travelers, so exact figures are impossible. The minister concludes with the statement that a great deal must be done before the work ot suppression can be con­ sidered aa complete. WALLDORFF BROS. STANDS FOR Quality in Furniture EMPLOYES J. J.

Lititz, Pa.—A bronse memorial tab­ let bearing a medallion of the "Spirit of 1776" and suitably Inscribed, erected on the wall of the Moravian chapel, was unveiled here to mark tbe fact that In the Revolutionary war General Washington requisitioned the building for a hospital, where 250 sick and wounded American soldiers were placed. Of these 120 died and 110 are buried in thte adjoining cemetery, unknown dead. Tbe chapel was built in 1761. A historical sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev E. 8.

This well has been a puzzle to the foremoat geologists in the coun­ try and several plans for stopping tbe wasteful flow of gas has failed. Some weeks ago another well was driven 160 feet from “wild" well. Air was forced Into this well with power: till pumps. It opened a fissure in loose earth formation and it was dis;’ covered that the air was being forced up into the "wild" well. Then mud was forced into tbe new well. It fol­ lowed the air and finally the pres­ sure of gas in the "wild" well de­ creased. The operators continued to force the mud into the new well until the flow of gas ceased.

Elsewhere in today's Issue appears an ad. for the enterprising firm of Chase A Wilcox, who conduct Hast­ ings' largest greenhouse at 104 East High street The remarkable growth and »uc< ass of this business is worthy ot comment Starting four years ago on a small scale, tbe equipment and buildings have been enlarged yearly until nt present the Institution is do­ ing a thriving business with agencies throughout Barry, Eaton and Kent counties. Those who are not familiar with a business of this nature can better ap­ preciate the extensiveness of the firms output during tbe past year, when they know that over 4,000 doien carnations were raised and sold by this flrm in that length of time and this output will be doubled during the coming year. Twelve thousand ger­ anium plants were disposed of tn this vicinity tost spring and the fall out­ put of chrysanthemums will exceed 5,000. Mr. Chase, the senior member of the firm, Is a man of recognised business ability, having successfully conducted a large farm near Irving for several years prior to taking up the floral work In tbls city. Mr. Wileox. the junior member to an experienced and capable botanist, being a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural college who following this studies at this college, held a professorship In botany in the New Hampshire Agricultural college. The progress and rapid growth of the business have been due largely to the fact that both Mr. Chase and Mr. Wileox have given their undivided persona] attention to the work. This fact together with the high quality of products delivered to tbeir custo­ mers has won the confidence of the trade and the indications are for a successful and prosperous future for the firm. Psmeaa Heid At Glass Creek Grange. A fine program was carried out and an elegant dinner served by Glass Creek members yesterday. About 100 were in attendance and almost every grange was represented. Regular order of business was com­ pleted by the election of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Otis as delegates from Pomona to State Grange meeting. Music by Glass Creek orchestra was followed by literary program: Recitation by Misa Phillipa with en­ core response. Discussion, Are the game laws a benefit to sportsmen or farmer, led by Wm.

Chi II(tee. After several mouths of falling health Mrs. Nancy W. Chidester, widow ot the late Wm. B. Chidester, passed peacefully away, -t Kalama­ zoo last Saturday morning. She had been taken to the hospital two weeks before In the hope that the best of medical treatment and attention would prove of benefit to her. But the breakdown waa but tbe prelude to the end. She failed very rapidly and her eons were called Friday noon and were with her when she passed away. Mrs. Chidester’s mslden name was Nancy W. Nettleton. She was bora in Tecumseh, Mich.. Aug. 22.1838, and was consequently in her seventy­ fourth year at the time of her death. The family moved to Westphalia when she was four years old and some time afterwards to the township of North Plains, Ionia county. Here she was married In 1858 to William 8. Chidester, and here Mr. and Mrs. Chidester began life together upon a farm. Their two sons, William N. and Gardner F. were born at the North Plains home. After about ten years they sold their place In North Plains and located la Rutland township, three miles wesi of this city. About fifteen years ago Mr. and Mrs. Chidester retired from farming and took up their residence in Hastings, where they were des­ tined to spend their declining years. Mr. Chidester died in June. 1908, since which time Mrs. Chidester has con­ tinued to keep her pleasant borne, near her two sons and tbeir families, watched over and cared for in every way that filial love and duty could suggest For many years Mrs. Chidester has been a faithful and consistent mem­ > ber of the M. E. church. The remains were brought home Saturday afternoon and the funeral was held from the home of her son Witham on Broadway Monday after­ noon. Amidst a profusion of beauti­ ful flowers, which she loved so well, tbe last solemn, comforting words were said by Rev. Russell H. Bready and the tired form was laid to rest In Riverside.

Wayne Castle Kali Dedteated. A special train toft Hastings Wed­ nesday morning bearing seventy mem­ bers of Barry Lodge, No. 13, Knights of Pythias, and candidates en route to Detroit to attend the golden jubilee of that organisation. The dedica­ tion of the new Wayne castle hall at Bagg street and Cass avenue took place to the afternoon and in the even­ ing a class of upward ot one thousand candidates were initiated into the rank of page at tbe Wayne armory following a parade of over ten thou­ sand Knights and candidates through­ out tbe down town streets ot tbe city. Hastings made a very creditable show­ ing with thirty-six candidates to line. The faltiation of candidates was conducted by officers of the grand lodge and the oath of obligation was taken on the original bible used by Justi* H. Rathbone, founder of the order, when tbe first seventeen Pythlans were obligated in 1843. I This great order which has its foundation upon friendship, charity and benevolence, expects to reach a membership of one million during the next two years. Of the present eight hundred thousand members, Michigan has twenty-four thousand. Easy For Eaton Rapids. Eaton Rapids won another over­ whelming victory over the local high school at the fair grounds last Satur­ day. The. individual work of the Hastings boy* was much better than anything shown so far this season, but owing to the fact that several members of the regular team were ab­ sent from the lineup unavoidably or through the disgraceful yellow di­ sease known as "cold feet" anything like team work was out of the questior. Hastings high school should I feei heartily ashamed of the spirit, or rather lack of spirit, shown and should either drop any claim to footbail hoi ors or elso "get on the job.” Too much credit cannot be given lo the inexperienced, light substitutes and the ’ew members ot the regular team who fought so desperate a battle against such big odds last Saturday. Chas. Sherwood received o slight fracture of the right collar bone which will keep him out of the game for the balance of the season. Tbe Fellowship Club at Celemaa'a. The Fellowship club of the Presby­ terian church found a big welcome at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Coleman. West Green street, Tuesday evening. About forty members were in attendance. Tbe program was en­ thusiastically received. After songs by the club, the chairman of tbe pro­ gram, Mr. E. C. Edmonds, Introduced the Misses Crystal and Dorothy Free­ man who very skilfully rendered two piano duet*. Mr. Worrell delighted the club with bi* vocal solo*. Mr. Ned Holbrook gave another one of bls inimitable reading*. The president. Rev. M.

Ore.—Frogs, big and little, treble and bass, paunchy, goggle­ eyed old bullfrogs and slender, striped little acrobats who were tadpoles last spring. Invaded this city the other day by thousands, hopping solemnly and earnestly through, the streets on their way to Lake Ewauna to upper Klamath Lake. Not all of them arrived, for they are excellent trout bait, and all the anglers who coaid possibly take a day e< made the most ot tbe supply. From time immemorial the frogs have made thia annual migration, at this same Mason. from the lower to tbe upper take. They might follow the waterway connecting the two if they chose, but nobody knows when they discovered an overland crosscut, throe miles long, and ever since they have stuck to it. The fields vanished and the city earns. It made no difference to tbe frogs. They continue to bop stolidly each year over cobbles and asphalt, through dust and across macadam, re­ gardless ot men and horses or later automobiles, bent only on their solemn purpose. What impulse or signal determines the migration la unknown. Apparent­ ly tbe army has no leader and it dose no foraging on tbe march. The next day not a frog was in sight, but there arose at night a great chorus of shrill and rumbling basses from the manbea at the upper lake.

A train weighing 1.500 tons can be palled along by one of these mon­ sters; but this huge weight represents a comparatively small goods train on an American railway, and It is pro­ posed to use two of the new engines, together with a slightly smaller one of tbe earlier type, for the heaviest work. The three engines all polling together can haul a train weighing more than 4.000 tons over a very dif­ ficult track with steep gradients and sharp curves, the rise being nearly 100 feet per mile for a considerable distance. These enormous trains are for car­ rying good*, or “freight," as the Americans term It; but of course the trucks are huge compared with many of our railway wagons, which only hold about eight tons each. An American freight wagon carries from 40 to 50 ton*, and itself weighs an­ other 20 tons, so that a train of say, 60 of these trucks loaded with heavy material such a* coal or ore would easily make up the weight quoted. On British railways coal trucks fully loaded weigh about 15 tons each, and 35 ot them would be considered a heavy train.

It was a picture that Abel had been drawing for them almost daily for the past five years. Always was It listened to with patience and pleasure by his d-rvoted friends. And truly devoted they were. To the last one of them Abel Joyce had been counsellor, friend, brother. The young fellow short of cash al­ ways won a smile and a banknote from Abel. A case of outside distress re­ ported by any of tbe crowd sent Abel cheerily away on a mission of willing charity. He was the life and spirit of the place in bls gentle yet dominat­ ing ways and his employers voted him a treasure of an office superintendent As the two partners retired towards tbeir private office Mr. Brandon re­ marked: “And you say there's no vine em­ bowered cottager "Noes la the world.” “And no wifer “That's further away than tbo other." ”H*m!

"Quito a romance." "Miss Rachel Waldron, that was her name, found an opportunity to arrange for her mother In a new climate by also nursing a wealthy lady invalid. She went away.

In building up a fanciful borne such as he would have and placing In it a fictitious bride, he has encouraged a dream that Is hie conception of per­ fect human happiness.” “And the young lady, this Miss Waldron?" “Is in your private office now." "Ton amaze me!” “She amazed me. Her mother Is at last dead and her other patient has left her rich. She sought out the man she loved, but first come to me. Ton are to hear her simple tender story. Tou are to assist In making Abel Joyce's dream come true." And there in the office Mr. Brandon was Introduced to the lady "with the long flaxen curia and the earn and cheeks like pink seashells." Yes, here, indeed, was the dream wife of Abel Joyce. “Tou are sure ha has not forgotten mer she had asked Mr. Vance, and then be told her of tbo vine embow­ ered cottage. "And to prepare thia strange sur­ prise you suggest ft wouM not be * womanly on my part?" she pleaded, blushing. "it would give to dear loyal Abel tie heaven he has dreamed of all these years,” was the fervent reply. So a plot was up against Joyce he never suspected. Phil Adler was let into it and meantime Miss Joyce re­ mained In the background. Two afternoons later Abel Joyce was summoned to the office ot the firm, to find the partners and all his fellow employers gathered there. It nearly broke up the unselfish fellow, never dreaming of such a thing, to find that it was the tenth anniversary of his service In the business and all hands had contributed to a testimonial In the shape ot a handsome watch. “It’s in order for me to Invite you all to a dinner this evening.” said Abel, when be bad mastered the emo­ tions evoked by the generous gift "so after work we'll adjourn for tbe fes­ tivities." The partners, exchanging a meaning glance with one another, mentioned a previous engagement, Phil Adler winked mysteriously at his fellow la­ borers. A jolly group, they left the office at the quitting time, Abel was amazed to find himself bustled into a bus at the curb. “Hold on!" be cried, “we don't want to ride. It's only a block to the restaurant” “We’re going to no restaurant," de­ clared Phil, holding tightly to his be­ wildered friend. “We’re going to cele­ brate this festive occasion by going to your borne.” “Tea, yes, that’s It!" chorused tho crowd—"vine covered cot, honey­ suckles, roses—and Mrs. Joyce. We'll tell your good wife what a royal grand fellow you really are!" In vain did the dismayed and morti­ fied Abel remonstrate. He was dread­ fully embarrassed. He began fioundering about for excuses. Tbe house was small. Maybe the 'folks’* were away. It did not matter. They would order a meal at tbe nearest hotel and have it served “in that new summer house of his!” And then the bus stopped directly in front of a bouse on a pretty tree-lined street, and as the discomfitted Abel waa helped to the ground be blurted out a violent confession. "Friends,” he said. "I'm a fraud—I own no vine embowered cottage!” “Nonsense!" cried Phil; “look there —your name on that gate plate; ‘Abel Joyce!' ’’ Sure enough there It was. Abel gasped. And there was a cottage cov­ ered with vines, and a summer house —he rubbed his eyes. He staggered as at the steps he was met by hia two smiling employers. Mr. Vance led him Into the hall, ushered him into a prettily furnished parlor aad closed the door. *Tm dr—mtagt” cried Abel, end fell to a eluflr trembling all over for there, confronting him, “auburn curls, aad cheeks and ears like a pink sea­ shell” waa his old love, Rachel! “Abel, you have remembered me?" she cried longingly. “Remember you!" he fairly sobbed "oh, every hour! every min­ ute! What does ft mean?” “That your dream has come true," and she told him of her fortune and the surprise she bad planned. And tho anniversary dinner was changed into a wedding supper, and Vanee and Brandon gave Abel and hia happy bride a month's honeymoon. (Copyright IKL by W. G. Chapman.) MARKET THAT E UNIQUE Hobroa, In Palestine, the Moot Fai— for fta Goatskin Water Betties. Hebron, one of the oldest dtiee In Palestine, haa always been famous for fta Oriental'water bottles, made of goatskins. Here, says a writer In tho Wide Worid Magazine, are to be found large tanneries where these re­ ceptacles are turned out by tbe thou­ sand, the “water-makers' market" be­ ing situated to tbe east of the ancient city. Lying upon the ground in rows may be seen between 200 and >00 goatskins awaiting purchasers. Each skin Is inflated, either with water or with air, so that the buyer may know ft is perfectly water-tight. The ma­ jority ot the skins used come from Arabia, while a large number are also received from the Lebanon*. They are brought to Hebron by the camel caravans, and are purchased by the tanneries and turned into bottles. They pass through many processes, and a tanner will spend a week upon a single skin before It is rendered water-tight and serviceable. From Hebron these odd “bottles” are sent to all parts of the east, thousands going down into Egypt and the Sou­ dan every year. Put It Up to Father.

The office of public roads of the de­ partment of agriculture Is making a strong effort to focus tbo mind of tho country on the fact that malnteanco and effective repair are of equal Im- | portance with the actual improvement of bad roads. Investment of money in new roads does not become real economy until provlAn is made for keeping these new roads In condition after they are built It a new road was built and then allowed to fall into disrepair, much of the original In­ vestment Is simply wasted. Europe, generally speaking, is ahead of the United States In tho matter^ of road improvement, but Great Britain is struggling with a problem similar to tho one that confronts the people ot the United States. In Eng­ land, Scotland and Wales there are no fewer than 2,140 separate authorities who between them, administer 175,487 miles of roads, or an average ot only 82 miles apiece. In Scotland, apart from the big cities there are over 200 burghs, one-halt of which have but ten miles of road apiece to maintain. Needless to say. such a minute mile­ age Is insufficient to keep the road plant fully occupied all the year around, and renders the employment ot a skilled engineer impossible for economical reasons. Officials of the office ot public roads when called upon for assistance by the various states ore pointing out that road building is an art based on a science, and that trained men and ex­ perienced men are necessary to se­ cure tbe best results from the expendi­ ture ot road funds. Btatisticiofis have found that al­ though the average expenditure on tbe Improvement of roads exceeds one mil­ lion dollars a day, a large portion of the money In tbe United States is wasted because of tbe failure to build the right type ot road to most tbe local requirements or the failure to provide for the continued maintenance ot the Improvemeat Tbe various states and counties within the past six months have taken a greater laterest in road im­ provement than ever before In the history of the United tSataa, and there to now a strong movement to connerve the roads of tho country where they are Improved. Scientific mainte­ nance will be one of the chief fea­ tures of tbe work of the office of pubJic roads throughout the present year.

The business was started In the building now occupied by Silsbee's jewelry store, .113 East State street. The first officers were: D. G. Robinson, president; W. 8.' Goodyear, vice-president; C. D. Beebe, cashier. The first board of directors consisted of the following gentlemen: • C. D. Beebe, J. A. Greble, W. H. Pow­ ers, Chester Messer, L. E. Knappen, W. 8. Goodyear, and* D. G. Goodyear. The bank was originally capital­ ised at $50,000. Tltls was increased in August, 1889, to $75,000. In 1890 Fuller A Beebe erected the two story brick building on the corner of State nnd Jefferson streets, known as tho City Bank building, which has since been the home of the institu­ tion. The bank bought this property In October, 1894.

By HAROLD CARTER. Should a man of forty-five marry * girl of nineteen? That was the ques­ tion moat in discussion at the summer hotel. Of course everybody knew that Hubert Ellington was a charming man, well-tofio, and of Irreproachable ante­ cedents. But still. Belle Moran was rather young for him. How bad he captivated the girl, over whom half a dozen young men had broken their hearts that summer? Belle could not tell. *T wish I knew, Molly,*’ she confided to her chum. “We had only known each other a couple of weeks, and he seemed so much a man among those callow boys. But—but—I wish I knew." "Do you mean that you have ceased to care for him, BeUeF* exclaimed her friend In horror. Belle began crying. Then, as Molly coaxed her, she showed her that letter from Jack. Jack had loved Belle for two years, over since she camo back from school, nnd they had grown up together. But Belle had never known how madly Jack loved her. And now—now— Well, everything seemed wrong. Hubert could not have reached his age without having bad numerous love affairs. That Belle knew perfectly well But be had once been wildly, hopelessly in love. And the girl had gone out of bls life and married an­ other. “If ever I were to meet her, Belle, I don't know, I can’t say, but the old love might revive," he had confessed to her. And that was the man she waa to give herself to; one with a romantic past. Not a discreditable, but still, a romantic one. Belle was not sure that () "< I E. C.

He was. however, sincerely attached to her. and the thought ot making her his wife had been very dear to him. He was rich, and be bad planned a borne for her and her widowed mother, as well as a settlement which should se­ cure Mrs. Moran from want for the rest of her days. And now— His little dream was ended. He knew that he would forget But at any cost be must break the engage­ ment He was a man of kindly im­ pulses, and tbe revelation gave him a sudden realization of something he had never thought of before: that he was a middle-aged man. It was late when he reached the hotel. Dinner was ended and Belle was waiting for him. “Hubert" she said, "mamma han come. She wants to nee you." "Walt a minute, dear," said Elling­ ton. "I want to tell yon something. Sit down." Belle sat down and looked fearfully at him. He could see her breast rise and fall quickly, tbe breath came be­ tween her half-opened lips. "Belle,” he said, taking her band, "I am not going to meet your mother. I am going away. I am going to release you from our engagement I may seem despicable and an eavesdropper, but I was in the garden this afternoon, and —I heard.” Belle leaped to her feet “Hubert," die cried, "I shall not release you. It is not honorable.*’ Tt is honorable and right, my dear," he answered. "Now I am going to re­ pair my mistake by going out of your life. You must let me go." "You are tbe finest gentleman la the world," she murmured, almost overcome by the strength ot her feel­ ings. ’Hubert, tell me one thing. Never mind our feelings. Is it for tba bestr He bowed his head. . "Then I release you," she breathed, and he turned to go. But before ho had gono two paces a woman camo down tba hall. One of those women In early middle lite whose beauty and frsshasss seem only enhanced by the peering of the yearn. She came up and stopped la hesitation. “Mother!" exclaimed Belle. "Hu­ bert! Wait a moment. Thia is my mother. You must not go before meet­ ing her, and she must know all.’’ But Mrs. Moran and Hubert Bling­ ton were staring at .each other as Bells had never seen two people stare "Hebert!" exclaimed Ada Moran. “I knew It must be you. And I did pot dare belters IL" Hubert EUlngton raised Ada Mo­ ran’s hand to his lips. “Belle,” bo said, turning to tbo girt, "your mother was my swoethesrt twenty years ago."

As a matter of fact, it 1s contended that while a man stops growing, generally speaking, at tbo age of IS, his head, partfculariy if be is a thinker, continues to grow and increase in rise often after he is forty years of age. Indeed, experts say that a man’s brain does not beoouse fully developed until ha is forty or fifty years of age, and a well known London phrenologist, who has meas­ ured the heads at many widely known people from time to time, has discov­ ered by means of these measurements .that tbo head continues to grow at a considerably greater age than Is gen­ erally believed.

Discoverers of the New Polar Conti* nant Brought Back a Very Large Collection of Specimens From Land and Sea. St. Michael, Alaska.—The Russian polar expedition which arrived here with the news of the discovery of a new Arctic continent, witnessed a splendid occurrence rare in the Arc­ tic, the phenomenon of a green sun. Lusting 90 seconds each time at sun­ set July 30 and September 14. The spectacle was sketched in colors by Lieutenant Folosen, chief engineer. The vessels have a barograph record ct the Bering sea storm and photo­ graphs showing the extreme Inclina­ tion ot the vessels during the storm with mountains ot water apparently about to overwhelm them. The Russian officers are very cour­ teous but redeem regarding scientific data and results obtained further than the facts already cabled. The expedition left Vladivostok un­ der command of General Sergleff, wbo was stricken with dpoplexy in. Bering sea and returned from Plover bay on the Russian cruiser Argon. The cominaod developed upon Lieutenant Wiltkuzky. The ship brought back a re­ markable collection of polar marine animal lite, marine planta found about the new land and which are micro­ scopical and a large geologic collection Nicholas II. land was discovered Au­ gust 21 and possession taken August 22, Russian calendar. , 8L Petersburg.—Confirmation of the discovery of new land in the Arctic ocean was received by the Russian admiralty in a brief official tireless re­ port from Commander Wlltkuzky of the Russian navy. The new land extends in a narrow strip from about GO miles north of Cape Tchelyuskin, also known as Northeast Cape, tho northern tremination of the Asiatic continent, to 81 de­ grees north. Tho admiralty expedition on board the transports Taimyr and Waingatch, 1 left Vladivostok in July last and sur­ veyed the coast from Kolyma to Cape Tcholyuskln. Commander Wlltkuzky is a son of the famous hydrographer, who died last year. He tried to go west to the River Yenesel to winter, but met with solid ice and on this account proceed­ ed in a northerly direction, where he discovered land extending two hun­ dred nautical miles. The expedition was then compelled by the ice to return toward the east. When passing Bennett island in lati­ tude 78.40 north, longitude 14830 east, they found tbe diaries and documents of the Ill-starred expedition under Baron Toll, which was lost in 1900. They also discovered a new island. The expeditions under Baron Nordenskjold, Fridtjof Nansen and Baron Toll passed between Cape Tcbelydskln and the newly discovered Ifind without noticing Its presence.

If tbe Feathered Family Should Be Destroyed Baa’s Teuuu st Life Would Be Bbert. Birds live to eat, says Edward B. Clark In The Country Gentleman. It is lucky far men they do, for if birds did not breakfast, men would not dine. Borne year* ago a French scientist told the world that if all the birds would suddenly die. man would only have a year's life left to him. The . Frenchman proved his point to the satisfaction of other scientists, but . other laymen laughed and the usual proportion of them kept on killing. . ' It ha* always been my belief that tbe *ln of bird persecution had Its beginning with other sins in the gar­ den. Adam probably saw a robin picking away at a cherry and In­ stantly said: “That bird I* a thief." Then Eve very likely saw a scarlet tanager sunning itself and straight­ way coveted Its plumage. So it is that the hand of man and the hand of woman have been raised against the bird ever since. Why should not a robin or a cedar bird or a catbird or any -other bird eat an occasional cherry? Their diet of cut worms, caterpillar* and other things noxious make a cherry dessect their due. How much ode* a bird eat? Take tbe robin aa an example. It eat* at certain season* of the year about double its weight In insect* and V worms a day. A man In order to sat­ isfy an equally well developed appe­ tite would have to eat about three hundred pounds of food all told in hl* three daily,meals. To do this be would need to be 30 feet tall. 10 feet thick from front to back and about jd five feet across the shoulders. “ The bird’s dinner hour begins at Haaol-Mentbol Plaster* Effectively relievo pain.

Bristol acting as worthy master. The meeting of Dec. 4, was held at Bristol school house, acting upon the appli­ cation of Aaron Ferris who was ini­ tiated in all four degrees. At that nesting, applications of G. W. Shef­ field, John Howart, Martin Miller and Hattie Iden were accepted and they received the first degree Dec. 11 J. J. Chandler, John Elsey, Uriah Rice, Almira Rice, Elsa Elsey, John Zimmerman, John Kipp. Theodore Mhteson and Chas. Dunn were ac­ cepted and received the first degree Dec. 19. On Dec. 26, the meeting at Wm. P. Bristol's held its first election of officers as follows: Master—J. M. Willison. Overseer—C. Shoemaker. Lecturer—C. Robinson. ’ Steward—H. M. Bristol. A. 8.

These were Installed and com­ menced work as patrons. For hall we used the upper story of Bro. Mar­ tin Miller’s house, now occupied by Mr. Arnold, and for five years our grange met weekly and semi-monthly, discussing questions, laying plans and working out methods in which to bet­ ter the condition of our members In the purchasing line. Land plaster was bought by the car load, oil by the barrel, tea by the chest, and sugar by the barrel, and oysters by the can. At one of our suppers 144 cans of oysters and one barrel of crackers were con­ sumed. At the end of the year 1874. fifty members had been added to the grange making a total of ninety-twu received, obligated and initiated into the grange. The question of having a hall of our own was now discussed at several of our meetings, and on December 21, 1878. Bros. Psrker, Sheffield, Elsey and E. H. Bristol were appointed a com­ mittee to procure plans for a grange hall. Their report was In favor of a hall 39x40. On Dee. 18, Bros. G. Shef­ field, E. H. Bristol and A. Parker were appointed a building committee with power to locate a site for a hall. They located it on the southeast corner of Bro. Burroughs' farm, and on Feb. 8. 1879, the building committee was di­ rected by the grange to proceed at once to procure lumber to build a hall. On March 1. 1879, the committee re­ ported that a sufficient amount of logs had been delivered in the mill yard for the frame and roof boards and that shingles, siding and flooring had been bought and delivered at Bro. Bur­ roughs’. On the 5th of March, *79, a committee consisting of E. H. Bristol, George Sheffield. Geo. Bowser. Clark Hunt and H. L. VanSyckle went to H. M. Bristol's woods, scored nnd hewed the square timber for our hall. Re­ ceiving a lease from Bro. Borroughs, our hall was first built a one story hall on Bro. Borroughs' land, and re­ mained on said corners until Dec. 20. 1881. On May 17.1879, a committee of four was appointed, consisting of Brother and Sister Drew and Brother and Sis­ ter H. M. Bristol to see to the moving of fixtures and furniture from Martin Miller's to our new hall, which by vote, of the grange was to hold Rs next regular meeting, Sept, 3. 1881. Sluter Helen Bowman and Bro. Henry Bow­ man were appointed a committee to see and if possible secure a piece of kind of Kipp Bresee on the northeast corner of his farm to move our hall upon. Mr. Bresee agreed to sell the grange 57 square rods of land on said corners for fifty dollar*, which was ac­ cepted, the deed secured and a com­ mittee appointed to prepare for mov­ ing hall. Dec. 20. 1881, grange hall was moved to its present location, and for 32 years the rap of the gavel at the master's desk and the voice of the master has been heard calling his of­ ficers to .their respective stations. Many of our meeting have been en­ livened with music and song, and all have felt amply paid for time spent in the grange. Of our charter members nineteen are living, two belonging to our grange at the present time. During our existence of forty years as a grange 313 persons have been enrolled aa members and today we have a mem­ bership of 105 in good standing. Notice. I have sold my photo shop to R. E.

RECOGNIZED CROOKS HEAOEDJHIS WAY CURTIS PUBLISHING CO. 8ENDN OUT WARNING AND OFFERS REWARD FOR CAPTURE, They Um Fake Names ami Receipts and Take Ftetegv»ph” of Farm RalMlags to Secure Cash. According to communications re­ ceived by Marshal William Hirst, from the Curtis Publishing Co., two recog­ nised subscription crooks are headed in this direction and the company of­ fer a reward of |25 for the arrest and conviction of either of the two men. W. T. Daudln, who travels under many alias names, uses fake receipts of firms which do not exist, such as Weber’s Subscription Agency, Chica­ go, and the Western Advertising Com­ pany, Indianapolis. He offers a cof­ fee percolator and a picture aa pre­ miums with the company’s publica­ tions. An accurate description of this party cannot be given, but as near as can be learned he is a man about five feet, seven inches, in height, shallow complexion, brown hair and small nose. He looks to be about twentyfour years of age. The second man whom the officers are anxious to lay hands on usually goes by the name of George More, and in company with another man (name unknown) travels through the rural districts taking pictures of houses, barns and live stock, which ho claims will appear in coming issue* of the publications which he represents. More is described as being about five feet, ten Inches, tall, weight about one hundred and fifty pounds, blue eyes, light hair and complexion, and said to have a thumb off one band.

It was the first time that the post had ob­ served this service, but the corps has had such a service for several years. Five chairs were diaped; three for the post two for the relief corps. The chairs for the corps were tn mem­ ory of James Cutler, John C. Black, and one in memory of all the mem­ bers who have died since the organi­ sation of the post In 1883, one hun­ dred and twenty-nine in number. The two chairs for the corps were in memory of Mrs. Lee Reed and Mrs. The memorial service of the G. A. R, was first observed. At its close Rev. Russell H. Bready gave an ap­ propriate and eloquent address to the members of the post. The W. R. C. then held their mem­ orial service, after which Rev. M. Grigsby addressed the corps In hU usual impressive way.

CONDITION OF THE BROADWAY BRIDGE FIRST STEEL BRIDGE IN RARRT COUNTY HAS BEEN IN USE FOR FORTT TEARS, CMy Caaaell Win Hake Repairs and Open Bridge la Trafc Within a Week er Twa. Some two months ago the bridge spanning the Thornapple river on Broadway was declared unsafe by the common council and was closed to the public. Since that time there has been no tittle controversy regarding the condition of the bridrr and the question of whether It would be ad­ visable to build a new bridge at thia point and. If so, what kind of a bridge was to be built At a recent election tbe proposition to build a concrete bridge was snored under and the council haa now announced ita inten­ tion of making such repairs aa possi­ ble to the old bridge and will open It to traffic within a week or two. In order to present to our readers aa near as possible the exact condi­ tion of the bridge and what !■ to be done in the nature of repairs a Jour­ nal-Herald representative accompan­ ied a member of tbe council to the bridge tbe first of the week. Tbe Broadway bridge was the first steel structure to be constructed In Barry county and has been In use for­ ty years. It would seem that it was constructed of extremely light mater­ ial for a bridge of its size and taking everything into consideration It haa stood the years of wear exceptionally well. The stone walls upon each side of the stream seem in good condition, new concrete capping only being needed Ln case a new bridge was to be built There are but two girders run­ ning lengthwise of the bridge, each girder being composed of two steel strips six Inches wide and three-quar­ ters of an inch thick, riveted together. There are four six inch I-beams con­ necting the two girders. While it is impossible to give the exact condition of this portion of the bridge, forty years of exposure to the moisture has doubtless weakened the girders and Ibeama to a considerable extent. The steel arches or side pieces which bear a considerable portion of the weight of the bridge are constructed of onequarter inch steel and the rust has ac­ cumulated nearly a quarter of an Inch thick on the Inside of these pieces and naturally they Bre in a very weakened condition. The hangers which run from the arches to the girders under­ neath the flooring are of one-quarter inch angle iron and seem to be in poor condition to support the weight of the bridge and traffic. The brace rods wbich run' from tbe arches to the gird­ ers are of three-quarter inch steel and time and travel have worn them to loose that there is all of six Inches play and where the rods cross each other they have worn away nearly a quarter of an inch on each rod. A per­ son of ordinary weight can stand in the center of the bridge and shake the entire structure with ease. Taking the entire condition of the bridge into consideration it would seem to be fol­ ly to spend any great amount of mon­ ey on repairs as under no circum­ stances could the city expect more than a year or two of service from the present Broadway bridge. C. W. Wynkoop, of the WynkoopMcGormley Co., contracting engineers and bridge builders of Toledo, Ohio, waa in the city Monday and after a consultation with this gentleman the council decided to make tbe following repairs to the bridge: New planking will be laid over the present floor, steel books will be placed over tbe arches and a heavy cable run from these books to tbe girders beneath the flooring. According to Mr. Wynkoop, the bridge in Its weakened condition is likely to swing to one side or tbe other and to avert this four strong cables will be run from the center of the bridge to trees on each bank of the’river. The bridge will be open tj light traffic as soon as these repairs can be completed. While heavy loads of any nature (excepting those occa­ sionally accumulated In a dry town) will be barred from the bridge, the fire department will be Instructed to take a chance upon the structure, thus re­ lieving a situation which has caused no little alarm io residents in this sec­ tion of the first ward.

Fnr off in the east the first ray of the sun I* seen to light up the sky, then the sound of the cock crow­ ing in the dirtant barn-yard and the birds in the tree* herald the coining of another day and soon the glorious sun light* up the entire scene with all the radiance of brightest noon-day after the darkness of night.

Let at do your printing Beat of Feeling Between Team Bat Crowd Upheld Their Reputation As a result of the action* of a bunch of rough neck spectator* Coach Worrell of the Hasting* high school football team came near tak­ ing a cold plunge in tbe Tbornapple river at Nashville Tuesday afternoon, and future athletic relation* between the two school* is doubtless off for some time to come. At the beginning of the second half the crowd overran the field and the officials stopped the game to clear the field. Before the whistle was blown to resume play a Nashville player grabbed the ball and ran for a touch­ down. Naturally Hastings objected to this method of play and when the touchdown was allowed Coach Wor­ rell called his team from tbe field. At' this point, a crowd of hotheaded (or j boneheaded) spectator* seised Wor- | rail and started with him for the riv-; er which adjoins the field. The time-: 1y interference of the Nashville coach and member* of the two teams put | up an end to tbe disgraceful affair, and to show that they were not quit­ ters under any circumstances the Hastings team again took the field and resumed play. However so much time had been taken up that the game was called on account of darkness. Calvin Henry Palmer. Calvin Henry Palmer, whose sudden death seats while wane at et Lakeview, L«*e,lew.

If you make a purchase of a catalog house any of the following mistakes may come up any one of which would cost money, time and much trouble. 1st— The shipment may not reach you as soon as you expected which might prove very unpleas­ ant. Here we could save you a great deal of ' time and trouble and some money. 2nd— The goods may arrive in a damaged condition which may or may not be adjusted to your satisfaction if adjusted would cost money, time and trouble. 3rd— Something may be missing from the shipment. This possibly would be adjusted but probably not, even if it was it would cost money, time and trouble. . 4th— You may receive articles different from what you ordered. This of course could be adjusted in time, but think of the waste of money, time and trouble. 5th— Sometimes the transportation charges are ex­ cessive.

So much criticism has been going on over so called "pioneer history," that we venture to give from early writings something which may be re­ garded as more than tradition, for it was written at a time when many of the real pioneers were living and much of It Is taken from their own Ups. In 1840 the population of Barry county was less than 1100. In 1850 it was 5072: In 1860 It was 13,857; in 1870 it was 22,200. The population ot the county has not changed material­ ly since that date. In October, 1829, the now constituted counties of Washtenaw. Ingham, Eaton, Barry, Jackson, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, Vau Buren. Hillsdale. Branch. St Joseph. Case and Berrien were separated into counties. Our Personal Attention In Nov. 1829, the counties of "Kala­ mazoo and Barry and the tract belong­ ing to no county," were temporarily attached to St. Joseph, for legislative purposes, and formed the township ot Brady. and efforts era given to this An Exclusive Grocery Store. Barry county was not formed into a separate township until 1836. The first “town meeting of this township of Barry, was held at the dwelling house ot Nicholas Campbell in April, 1836. and a full list of town officers elected, C. G. HUI, supervisor; Or­ ville Barnes, clerk. The jurisdiction took in the entire county. The data for the number of votes cast is not given and perhaps cannot be, but in­ asmuch as tbe "township" officers, were compelled to fill several offices, tho vote would not have been enough to have defeated Tammany. welfarw to cleric, or sumagen.

Washington, D. C„ Nov. 17.—Tbe average life of horses and automo­ biles may be increased and the coat ot hauling reduced, according to the Office of Roads, of the Department of Agriculture, by relocating many old roads and the more scientific laying out of new ones. The natural tend­ ency in road building ta to build a straight road, whether It goes over ateep grades or hills, or not, and pull­ ing over these grades naturally adds to the wear and tear on horses and vehicles. The doctrine ot tbe Office of Roads Is that the longest way around may often be the shortest and most eco­ nomical way home, and that frequent­ ly by building a highway around a hill or grade, but little appreciable dis­ tance la added and this is more than offset by the reduced strain of haul­ ing. The chief drawback from tbe farm owner's point of view is that the lay­ ing out of roads on this principle of avoiding grades necessitates, in some cases, running the road through good farm land or orchards or pastures, instead ot going around the farm line and building the road through old worn-out fields and over rocky knolls. This, of course, must raise a question In the mind of the individual land owner as to whether the cutting up of bis property by a. road yields him in­ dividual advantages and so benefits bte community as to offset the use of such land for a road, or to overcome tbe Inconvenience of having his land divided. In this connection the Of­ fice of Roads points out that the run­ ning of a road and the resulting traf­ fic through a good farm, where there are good sheep, cattle, horses, grain, fruit, or vegetables, has a certain advertising value and in many in­ stances makes the land more valua-ble. In other casea, the importance of such a level road to the community is so great that it might welt repay those using the road to give the fanner the equivalent in land equal­ ly good in place of what he has sacri­ ficed to the common welfare. At any rate, the Office of Roads Is now taking special pains to make clear the economic advantage of avoiding steep grades in their roads, even at some sacrifice of better land. Investigation shows that the laying of such roads over hills has resulted more from attention to the preserva­ tion of farm lines than from scientific attention to the problem ot road building. According to the testimony of farm­ ers consulted, where a horse might be able to pul) 4,000 pounds on a level road, it would have difficulty in pulling 3,000 pounds up a steep hill. The size of the load, therefore, tends to be measured by the grade of the largest bill on the road to market In a number of cases actual experi­ ment shows that the re-locating ot roads around hills has been accom­ plished. either with no addition in road length in some instances, and with the adding of only a few feet to the highway in others. Tbe Office knows of no case where a property re-located road which has cut out grades has led to any question as to its material reduction of hauling costs. Social Centers. Wherever tried the scheme ot pub­ lic social meetings is proving a suc­ cess. In cities the ward school build­ ings are being utilised and in the townships the district school house io the tryating place where all, young and old. meet upon common ground, talcing up current topics, the high cost of living, the crop prospects and prices, taxation, music, songs, recita­ tions and essays, including domestic affairs. In a word it goes toward getting acquainted, a school of in­ struction to old and young, bringing tho people having common interests in contact. In one Instance Friday afternoon once In two weeks parents and scholars devote the time to the social hour, with tho result that school Improves, neighbors get ac­ quainted, the despondents are cheered up, and there are few neighborhood quarrels. It is an uplift for the bet­ terment of all. The grange is ex­ clusive, church creeds draw another line, and there is no place open bat in a public meeting where all feel at home. Will Barry county school dis­ tricts try for this winter a social hour at the school house? If you want anything on earth ad­ vertise for it in our want column.

OHM OF BARRY COUNTY HISTORY FOBBED AS SEPARATE TOWNSHIP IN 1801, ITS DIVISION WAS NOT COMPLETED UNTIL 187L Fas Named After Wm. Taylor Postmaster Gesend Under President Jneksom So much criticism ha* been going on over so called "pioneer history,” that we venture to give from early writings something which may be re­ garded as more than tradition, for it was written at a time when many of the real pioneer* were living and much ot It Is taken from their own Up*. In 1840 the population of Barry county was less than 1100. In 1850 it was 5072; in 1860 It was 13.857; in 1870 It was 22,200. The population of the county ha* not changed material­ ly since that dnte. In October, 1829, the now constituted connties of Washtenaw, Ingham. Eaton, Barry, Jackson. Calhoun, Kalamazoo, Van Buren. Hillsdale. Branch, St Joseph, Case and Berrien were separated Into counties. | In Nov. 1829, the counties of “Kala­ mazoo and Bnrry and tho tract belong­ ing to no county,” were temporarily attached to St Joseph, for legislative purposes, and formed the township of Brady. Barry county was not formed into a separate township until 1836. The first “town meeting of this township of Barry, wa* held at the dwelling house of Nicholas Campbell In April, 1836, and a full list of town officers elected, C. G. Hill, supervisor; Or­ ville Barnes, cleric. The jurisdiction took in the entire count)'. The data for the number of vote* cast is not given and perhap* cannot be, but In­ asmuch as the “township” officers, were compelled to fill several offices, tbe vote would not have been enough to have defeated Tammany. The next year, 1837, the election was held at the home of Chas. W. Spaulding, and In this election the names of pioneers of Hastings, Carl­ ton, Thornapple and Yankee Springs appear. In 1838 the county of Bnrry was di­ vided into four townships consisting of four of tho present townships as follows: Orangeville. Hope, Prairie­ ville and Barry as Barry township. Thornapple. Yankee Spring*. Irving and Rutland were organized as Thorn­ apple; Baltimore. Johnstown, Assyria and Maple Grove as Johnstown, and Hastings, Carlton, Woodland and Castleton into the town of Hastings. These townships duly elected town officers. It was not until 1839, March 15, that this county was legally organized, and as the act specially provided for Immediate election of county officers on the first Monday of April of that year the officers for the various offices were elected. Yankee Spring* then tbe most populous of the township of Thornapple, by an act -secured by legislator Yankee Bill Lewis set up a township organization of it* own, and at the election of county officer*, elected a full set of town officer*, making the subordinate organizations five, and Irving formed another a few weeks later, which was to go into effect March 30th. 1840, but the taw wa* repealed but the residents of that township did not know of it and elected * full set of officer*, who pro­ ceeded to the performance of their several duties, among which wa* the marriage of several couples by the justices. The muddle was corrected by a law In March, 1841. which made all the acta performed legal. In 1841 the town of Spaulding wa* formed from Barry, but later the name was changed to Prairieville. In 1842 Castleton was formed from Hastings: in the same Tear Carlton and Woodland were divorced and set up a government of their own, In 184-1 the town of Assyria was form­ ed from Johnstown, comprising Maple Grove, the latter setting up its own government in 18441. The same year Orangeville was cleaved from Prairieville and in 1847 Rutland was set off from Irving. The name of Yankee Springs was changed to Gates in 1848. but was changed back in 1849. The township of Baltimore was organized in 1849, and Hope in 1850. The city of Hastings was formed from Hastings township. March 11th, 1871, and makes the 17th sub-division of the county. During this period of Incubation Into a full fledged county, the seven>l townships were rapidly settled up, and they became of some note anil UifftiMev in the state. 'Wnnity and township of Barry u]fed1 after Wm. Taylor Barry. " f Virginia and postmaster il'yr Jackson. circuit court for Barry county, was held in tbe school house In the then village of Hasting*, the same being located In the rear of the building now occupied by Huffman Bros., Epaphrodltus Ransom, Judge, Isaac Otis and Nathan Barlow, asso­ ciate judges, Willard Hayes, sheriff. The next circuit judge was Hon. George Martin; in 1857 Judge Louis 8. Lovell presided until 1871 when Judge Birney Hoyt up to 1877. Judges VanZlle and Hooker were followed by the present incumbent Judge Smith.

The price ot potatoes has been close around 60 cents to the fanner; this is an unusual price for the spuds at this time of the year. and. we may add a fairly remunerative price at that. Notwithstanding the good price many farmers are storing their pota­ toes, expecting to realize the 31.00 a bushel later on. The crop Is some short of a full one, but there is by no means a famine, and we believe the grower who holds for a better price, will be the loser. Take the shrinkage and waste and the uncertainty of price, chances are most uncertain cf any staple crop raised. How often we have seen the price in this one product, cut to one-half the fall price In the spring. The months of September and October made a potato crop in Michigan, but little less than an average. Those who sold direct from the field, In our Judgment will realize tbe most profit. Again we say don’t hold them for a better price, for the spuds are an average crop the world over.

ROAD­ BUILDING COST OF ROAD MAINTENANCE Teat In Bouthaaetern Nebraska Shows Satisfactory Work Can B* Done for Laos Than *10 Per Mile.

For the Table Why, there is GeorgeWashington and Georgian Patterns of Silverware Just out. F.R. Pancoast under the Postoffice <By C. F. CHASE. North Dakota Agri­ cultural College.) At the home farm in southeastern Nebraska there is a stretch of land one-half mile In length that we have dragged for seven ysan. Only once during this period has this road been worked with anything but a drag. Two yean ago the side ditches were cleaned with the common road grader. A careful record of the time taken to drag this road has been kept Two trips for one man aad one team requir­ ing one hoar’s time for a single drag­ ging is the basis taken. The first year wo dragged It 15 times, the second 11, the third 17, and the fourth 13 and the fifth 14 times or 71 dragging* ot one hour's time in five yean. This is 30 cents an hour for a man and team is •4J* a year for the one-half mile. For a mile It would be 31.52 annually. An­ other road in the immediate vicinity cost less than $10 per mile annually. A case is noted In Public Roads Bulle­ tin No. 43, United Stales department ot agriculture, where tbe cost of sim­ ilar maintenance of roods in Arkansas was 311 per mile. State Engineer Gearhart ot Kansas puts tbe range ot cost for dragging at from 34 to $10. The cost for North Dakota should not cost more than $10 a mile, while in most cases it would be much leas, the cost depending upon tbe cfiaracter of the soil, the rainfall, traffic and grade. As an average for all dirt roads I would place the annual cost ot main­ tenance at $7.60 per mile or $460,740 to drag in a satisfactory manner the roads in North Dakota one year. Tbe total expenditure on public roads of North Dakota outside of towns In 1911 was $691,540. If proper­ ly organised, and if the people were educated, we could properly maintain our earth road with ebe present road funds and have $110,800 left for bridges, new construction, etc. The national office of public roads recommends the patrol system com­ bining dragging. The Nebraska legis­ lature passed a law that Lb not unHke the patrol system. The substance of; tbe law is aa follows: 'Tie graded roads In each county are to be divided into road dragging dis­ tricts by the county boards. One per­ son to each township is to be ap­ pointed superintendent ot dragging, and is to receive Dot more than $1.50 >«r day. Roods shall be dragged whenever aeceoeary, and all the sections ot the highway shall be dragged at once. County boards may levy a tax ot not to exceed one mill tor road dragging. Where tour horses are used on an eight-foot drag, the rate of payment Is 76 cents for each mile of highway dragged both ways. Where a seven­ foot drag and two or three horses are need, CO cents is tbe prescribed rate. On roeky highways or stretches of road that cannot be improved t»y drag­ ging the county boards are not re­ quired to put the act Into effect. EXHIBITION OF ROAD MODELS Greatest Display Ever Shown In Any Part of World Will Be Been at Ban Francloco in 1*1*. Arrangements are to be made by the United States department of agri­ culture, through Logan Waller Pago, director of the office of public roods, to place on exhllbtioe in 1915 the greatest collection of road models ever displayed In any part of the world. Tbe models will furnish exact dupli­ cates of the old Roman roads, French roads, and all of the various types of modern roads, together with miniature models ot road machinery operated by electricity. The office of public roads made an exhibit ot road models tor the first time at the Ataska-Yukon-Pucific ex­ position. The alm was to put on view such striking examples in miniature of road models that visitor* would not only appreciate tbe beneficent ef­ fects of improved highways, but would at the same time be able to under­ stand the methods of their construc­ tion. Since the Ataska-Yukon-Paciflc ex­ position closed, the exhibition haa been displayed at various other expo­ sitions and fair*. Since that time th* collection haa been greatly augmented, until every alngte type of road I* now represented and every known device used in tbe making of roads has been reproduced in miniature. A* a result of the instruction fur­ nished by these road models, many farmer* have joined forces to Improve their own highways, and the road building movement has had a great Impetus. Must Be Paid for. It we are to have good roads, we must be willing to pay for them and we must be willing to pay for their maintenance, and also remember that tbe maintenance is of as great if not greater importance than the original construction.

AMONG THE SQUAB HOW MEALY GOT EVEN RAISERS Many Little Practical Hints That Will Be Found of Especial Interest to Plpeon Lover*. (By U M. BENNINGTON.) The Runt is tbe largest of the pig­ eon family, but they are slow breed­ er*. Never feed new grain; it is apt to cause bowel trouble. Rye to a grain that should never be fed as it la very laxative and liable to cease severe intestinal Irritation and death. Hempseed should never be fed lib­ erally, a* It is very heating and fat­ tening. An overcrowded loft la both unprof* (table and a danger. When the young birds are about two weeks old the wing and tall feather* generally start growing. Tbe small feather* follow these. The old birds quit feeding their young as soon as they hatch oat a new pair of squab*. It le a mistake to build the bouse directly on the ground. Buch lofts are generally damp and beside, are diffi­ cult to keep rat-proof. There should be no cross piece* in tbe middle of the fly, as bird* are of­ ten injured by flying against them In a sadden fright. The small, round louse on the body and head is the most troublesome. Before placing new stock In the loft it should be quarantined for a week or so. Being very fattening, millet seed must be carefully fed. Be sure to sift the cracked corn bofore feeding. Pigeons are great water drinkers, especially white caring for tbe young. It costs about six cents to raise * squab to five weeks of age. Do not stock the loft with "cheap** birds. In buying, the price should ba governed by quality. Large squab are produced by targe slxed breeders. Success follow* experience. A mating should never be broken as long as satisfactory work is being done. ARRANGE ROOSTS AND NESTS Inclined Board Should Bs Placed for Heavy Fowls to Walk Up and Down On—Easy to Clean.

The immcnBe variety in ribbons per­ mits an unending variety in fancy bags, and they will play their usual prominent part at Christmas time. Tbe rich brocades and heavy weave* in plain ribbons are used for opera bags and for the handsome shopping bag* which city women find it convenient to carry with them when they have small purchases to make and intend carrying them home. Ribbons in light­ er weight, such as the Dresden*, in taffeta, which are found Id bo many beautiful designs, are chosen for all those bags that form accessories to the furnishings of the home. Among these, those with flowered patterns on a plain silk ground having wide bor­ der* of gauze are the newest and most beautiful of the season's offering*. Such a ribbon ta shown here in ths pretty corset bag pictured. A new design In a shopping bag which may be made long enough to answer for a music roll as well, is plo­ ts red. It is ma do of brown ribbon and a flgured ribbon stitched together. A narrow sliver braid is placed over the stitching.

Little Parasites Are Common and Troubleecmo Poultry House •hould Be Painted Often. Roost mites are very common and troublMKime. When they become numerous enough they not only infest the nests, but other parts of tbe build­ ing, especially cracks and crevice*, as well a* the roosts. They are much like tiny spiders and are often called spider lice by poultrymen, says a Min­ nesota bulletin. Mites are easily exterminated by ap­ plying kerosene to all infested parts of the building. They become numer­ ous as noon as warm weather comes. As prevention ta better than cure, it pays to paint your roosts once every four or six weeks in winter time and once every two week* during the warm weather. You will probably never see a mite la a bouse *0 treated. FEED DURING MOULTING TIME Prattles of Starving the Hens to Maks Them Lose Feathers I* Con­ demned by Expert. (By J. G. HALPIN. Wwconsln Calles* of Agri culture.) Hens should be fed liberally during the molting season, and the practice of partially starving tbe hen* to make them lose as far as possible all their feather* at one time, thus straining the vitality of the fowls to provide entire new growths of feathers so quickly should be condemned. The method may be good when fol­ lowed by an expert, but ordinarily it injures the Bock. As a rule, a rea­ sonably long molting period, during which time tbe birds are well cared tor, produces the best results. Sun­ flower seed, oil meal and other oily feeds fed during the molting season aid in the growth of feathers Banish Parasite*.

There is No Better Cabinet Made Than a Hastings The value of a Hastings Cabinet to a housekeeper, when judged by the time and material it saves during the course of a year, depends mainly on the amount of work done in her particular kitchen. In most kitchens a Hastings will save anywhere from f 10.00 to *100.00. In some instances a Hastings does away with the services of hired help which means a saving of several hundred dollars in a single year.

Michigan is sixth among the states of the union in the value of Its min­ eral production. It owes its prom­ inence to Its great wealth in two met­ als. copper and iron. In the produc­ tion of iron ore in 1912, according to the figures compiled by E. W. Parker, of the United States Geological Sur­ vey, In co-operation with the Michigan State Survey, it ranked second, and in the production of copper It was third. Among the less important branches of the mining Industry it rank* first In the production of salt, bromine, calcium chloride, graphite, and sand-lime brick, second in the production ot grindstones, and fourth in the production of gypsum. In 1910, the total value of the produc­ tion considered, the mining ot iron ore was the leading Industry lit Mich­ igan, but In 1911 and 1912 the value of the recoverable metallic content ot the copper ores produced In Michigan exceeded the value of the Iron ore mined. In 1912 the production of iron ore amounted to 12,797,463 long tons, valued at 829,003,163. and the copper production to 218,138,408 pounds, valued at 836,992,837. The total mine production of copper In the Unite 1 States in 1912 was 1,249,094,891 pounds, or 17 per cent The mining of copper In Michigan Is of prehistoric origin, the metal hav­ ing been used by the North American Indians before tbe advent of the white man. The total production of copper In Michigan from earliest records has been about 5,200.000,000 pounds, or about 30 per cent of the total output of the United States. Michigan stands well up among the states in the manufacture of cement, producing 3,494,621 barrels in 1912. The salt production of the state (ex­ clusive or rock salt) amounted to 10,­ 271,715 barrels, valued at 82,743,389. The value of Michigan's clay products Increased about 22 per cent, from 32,­ 083,932 in 1911 to 82,546.498 in 1912. The mining and calcining ot gyp­ sum la also an industry of considerable importance, and production in­ creased from 347,296 short tons, valued at 8573,926, In 1911 to 384,297 short tons, valued at 8621,547, 1912. Other important industries are the quarrying of stone and tbe production of sand aitl gravel, lime, manganlferous ore, mineral paint*, mineral wa­ ters, natural go*, petroleum, quartz, and scythe stones.

In youth I had an appetite that rare­ ly slept except at night, and even then I often rose and creeping on my tippy toes stole to the pantry on the sly to finish up a pumpkin pie. An ordinary meal for me would sat­ isfy the needs of three such puny chil­ dren as we raise in these degenerate days. 1 never saw the kind of cake that handed me a stomachache; and aafor pie and similar atuff, I never thought I had enough. There wasn’t any sort of meat or fruit or bread I couldn't eat The day of days in my career came 'round on time with every y®atThanksgiving to a healthy boy ex­ presses all there is of joy. Twa* then wo saw about the farm the red and gold of autumn’a charm. The cribs were bursting with the corn; the chestnuts strewed the ground at morn until the little boys were out to gather them with laugh and shout. Uncles and aunts and cousins came to join in Jest and song and game. Tbe little pigs were sleek and fat; the turkey ne’er suspicioned that the day of doom wa* near at hand, but apread his tail with manner grand, and gobbled with same old pride up to tho very day he died. Then came the climax of my story— Thanksgiving dinner in its glory. The family table was Increased to twice it* usual length at least, and grandad with a solemn face began the feast by saying grace, then took the carving knife in hand and we were off!

The old folk* joked, the young folks laughed, and many * merry toast wm quaffed. The kids—they just Mt still and ate until they’d polished every plate. Thanksgiving in the real old style beat modern feasts by many a mile. I have tny pig and turkey still but somehow they don’t seem to fill me with the Mme delight a* when I wa* a little boy of ten.
