Thursday John Dove, of Coats Grove, brought to thiN city a beauti­ ful livw Arctic owl, that wus recently captured in Woodland township.- The bird was captured by Wayne Long, uf that township, who shot at it. The charge of shot however,only wenl close enough to tbe ow^to stun it, and it was captured Mbsolutley unharmed. It is a taautifnl bird.mostly white, but mott­ led with a fewjalate colored 'feathers. It measuee about five and one-half feet from tip to tip of wings. One peculiarity of the bird is that when disturbed in anyway it will hiss like a cat. Since its captivity tho bird has become quite domesticated, and has made itwlf at home in a little house at Mr. Dove's place. It lives on 'rats; mice, sparrows, and flesh of jnost anykind. . When fed sparrows, it. would pull out the ttail fand Iwing^feathera, aud swallow tho rest whole. Mr. Dove । brought the bird here to have it mounted by George Greenwood, but we । believe it would have made a valuable addition to some zoological garden. ions that shonld be eliminated. Its ^en®s *’pKKed to have the bill reported out and let th. fixing" ta done on die floor. Some wanted to behead it quu iua»r. iuv Fuiectiuu and leave the selection of governor and lieutenun\goverDur to a convention. Hare Gov. ‘Warner- interceeded and through his influence the- head wan mvod. Then a determined effort was made to except the lieutenant governor from tho list, bnt the friends of the bill Haid •No." The bill having a provision that the selection of governor and lieutenant governor should be deter­ mined by plurality vote.a strong stand was. made by the opponents of the bill to anything less than a majority. The Senate as a body lielieved that onlja majority should nominate, but in accordance with an agreement made with the leaders of the House a plural­ ity on governor and lieutenant gover­ nor of 40 per cent was decided upon. Cities^were added to tbe list to come under the provisions of the new bilk The submission of^the question as to governor and lieutenant governor was made mandatory on all parties in 1900,tho nomination of candidates for tlie other officers named in tho bill to be optional with the several parties upon a petition to the proper author­ ities. After considerable argument the committee reported the bill out and the above stated changes were made on the floor of the Senate In'the 'accomplimnent of this work tbe usual strenuous conditions were present. The bill as finally passed represent­ ed all that one body of the legislature would yield or the other accept.

This ■ company was called The United Drug Company, of which the undersigned is one of the thousand members. Our object was, first, to manufacture a line of prescriptions such as we had tried out in our stores and found to give the very best of results, and second, by owning out own co-operative manufac-turing company we would be able to know the exact formula of every prepar­ ation we were selfing, thus enabling us to give to the public the very best remT edies we could find at actual manufac­ turing cost, plus a single retail profit. This enabled The United Drug Com­ pany to ,escape the heavy charges for advertising and other expenses such as have to be paid by proprietary remedies. What was most important, it insures safety and satisfaction to our customers, because we druggists know just what we are selling. A committee of experts was ap. pointed who spent a long titne in testing the merits of more than two thousand formulas arid prescriptions recommend- cd by the various druggists constituting the company. From these, about two hundred were selected as being the best reme* dies known to medical science for the cure, each of its particular ailment. The exclusive rights to these remedies were then transferred to The United Drug Company, which has since manu­ factured them in its superbly equipped laboratories in Boston under the now famous name of “ Thq Rexall Remedies.' Note then, first of all, these -facts — — -­ : 1st. “ Rexall" refers, not to one rem­ edy but to about two hundred— each for. some one particular purpose. Nobody knows better than The United Drug Company druggists the absurdity of the “cure-alL” 2d. Each *• Rexall ’’ Remedy is a test* ed and proved success, selected for its conspicuous merit from *nny of its class. All had estabiishcu rep­ utations through their continued use by physicians before they became members of the “ Rexall" family. 3rd. “ Rexall ” Remedies are sold at low prices because they are free from heavy manufacturing charges, job­ bing profits, and the heavy expense of being advertised separately, as formerly. The United Drug Company, which manufactures the Rexall Remedies, has already scored the greatest success ever known in the history of the drug business. ■ Threc of the 200 “Rexall ” Remedies,one for each human ill, are FM CATAMH FM NERVKB— MUCU-T0M The chief ingredients of 'Mucu-Tone are Gentian, Cu­ bebs, Cascara Sqgrada, Glycer­ ine, and Sarsaparilla. Gentian is recognized in med­ icine as one of the greatest • tonics ever discovered. It is the foundation un which MucuTone is built. Gentian com­ bines in high degree the tunic powers of all the known “bit­ ters" with none of the disadvjjjjagcs applying to'them. ‘ Cubebs have long been rec­ ognized as a s, ecitic in the treat­ ment of all catarrhal conditions.

Returning teur from one of her vacations, she exhib I ted some of the picture* she had made. tted They came under tbe observation obnj>rvntlon ot ui Professor Smlllle. lie He saw at one* The and during the next dollars' worth of farm sales in Barry county. The prices at all these sales will depend on inany circumstances and conditions, but most of aH’oti the hue'stion of ADV ERTISING. A sale insufficiently advertised never produces thb best results; a well adveitised will always succeed, unless the weather is such thr.t' that (people cannot attend. • • IN FORMER DAYS. When there wa-^o newspaper to ewer the ... field, ...il .was. days necessary to tee the Auction Bill. But " ' those " bare gone by and, like he cradle and Hail, are B/:CK --------------NUMBERS. In ' several counties in this state there is one newspaper in ’each county that reaches j)racti(ially . all the people. In these'counties like Genessee, Clin­ ton and Gratiot, such a thing as aii auction bill as the sole means of advertising an auction sale, is almost innheard of. In each of these comities is one paper which covers the county, and is used to advertise auction sales. Barry county is the fourth to tall in line and THE BAN­ NER COVERS THE FIELD. It now prints 4000 papers each week, equivalent to 20.000 readers, and thorougiily covers every township in the county. Any printer can print-auction bills at a fair profit, but only a newspaper with a wide and thorough circulation can successfully advertise an auction sale in it# columns. THE BILL vs. THE BANNER. ' THE BILL reaches only a few hundred. THE BANNER reaches uiany th-jusands of people; . THE BILL can cover ouly a limited section, THE BANNER coders the entire ^ounty with equal thoroughness. • THE BILL is seen by the people only when they are away from hokne, THE ttANNER reaches the people in their homes. THE BILL ix not read in busy ijmes or in bad weather, because !tbv people stay at home; THE BANNER goes where the people are. THE 'BILL makes the busy man stop when he is in a hurry, and possi­ bly get out his spectacles. THE BANNER finds him while he is at leisure reading his paper inb comfortable chair. THE BILL musg be tacked up and distributed,- a day or two of work for a man with a rig. THE BANNER distributee the same matter to every house without trouble or extra cost. THE BILL is torn down by wind and rain. /THE BANNER Is not affected by the elements and is read under all circumstances. Is It Any Wonder That1- Barry County Farmers Are Rapidly Abandoning the Auction Bills in Favor of THE BANNER? ■ • • o < The BANNER has already advertised. a number of Auction Sales, all of which have been very saccessliil. W. M. Titmarsh, living north of Nashville,' had a site Oct. 10th. his auction sa le advertisement appearing nn the BANNER of Oct; 5th. Heiwgjs what Mr. Titmardi has to say:— . Hastings, Mich., Oct lifth, 1KX. Bastings BANNER, Bastings, Mich. Gentlemen:— I wish to most emphatically endorse the BANNER as an Auci tion Sale advertising medium. In fact I cannot say too much for it. 1 bad an Auction Sale at my farm 2^4 miles north of Nashville on Oct. 10th, 1805. 1 had an Auction Sale advertisement in the BAN+ NER of Oct. 5th. The day of the sale was very bad and disagreeable, and 1 expected a slim attendance. Contrary to my expectations a very large crowd was preeent, )>eople coming from near Bellevue, Battle Creek and ail surrounding country. I did not think that my sale could poasiblv exceed 81,000. but; it amounted to almost 83.000. I most cordially recommend the BANNER as a medium of Auction Sale advertising, and I realized a; good many hundred per eent on what it cost me. I also desire to express my approval of the mauner in which Mr. .lames. M. Bauer the auctioneer managed this sale which was the third one ho had managed for me. • " Yours very truly, W. M. TITMARSH. Wp have every facility for printing auction bills, and there is a fair piofit in Jlie work, but we KNOW that your money will go farther in tile form of advertising^ The Stat- Asbueiation of Auctioneers unanimously en* dorse it. and also the leading Auctioneers of Barry Counts'.

They had four children, qhrec sons and a daughter. In those good tf.d fashioned days it was .common, for mothers to make their own home medicines from mote and herbs, nature’s own remedies— calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and exSericnce many of them gained a wonerful knowledge of the curative prop­ erties of the varions roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham tp«»k a great Interest in the study of roots and herb*, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in tbe harvest­ fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in tlie roots and herbs of the‘field there are remedies ex­ pressly designed to cure the various Ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search theaeout. and prepare simple and effective medi­ cines for her own! family and friends. Chief of these was a rare- combina­ tion of the ehoiei-st medicinal roots und herbs found best adapted for the euro of the ills and weaknesses pecu­ liar to the female mix. and Lydia E. Pink­ ham's friends and neighbors learned that her componntl relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this io far wisdpne freely, with­ out money and . without price, aa a labor of love. ! '. ‘ But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length andR-rerity were too much for the large-, real estate intereate of the Pinkham family, ns this class of business suffered moat from fearful depression. So when the Centen­ nial year dawned it found their prop­ erty swept away. Some other aource of income had to be found. At this point Urdla E.

Ex­ orbitant prices are charged by the grocers for all the necessities of life. There is absolutely not ivstick of timber in the whole valley except tbe ornamental trees which have been ship­ ped from home eastern nursery to pro-' tect the people from the scorching beat of the sun,'and which are kept alive by dint of constant irrigation. All the wood used for fuel is hauled from the . Capitan mountains 00 or 70 miles away. I It is light, •‘flashy” juniper, and coms ■ ?7 a cord. If you do not wish to buy I j wood you may harty coal at $10 a ton. | The patural vegetation of the valley I consists of caetus. Boap-plant.sage-busb und mesquite. It is necessary; to keep the land almost constantly wet. as un­ der the intense heat a crust is formed on .the surface through which it ii al. most impossible for the plants to break. The Rio Hondo is used so extansively for irrigiation that by the time it reaches Roswell it is only a foot wide and of a chocolate color. We camped for two mouths on the bank of North Spring river, two miles west of Roswell. It is the custom for all tbe butchers to draw the offal from the slaughter houses and dump it near the river and it was indeed true that: “Fall tufuiy a carcass was left to rot unseen. And wane its s*iM*cneii' on tbe desert air.” This smell was often wafted across the river and into our tent with greqt effect as an appetiser.

It is a growing ct^tom in this town and vi­ cinity to begin papering the last of Feb. ana the custom has grown so that March is one of our best wall paper months. The advantages of this early papering are that you get the first selections from the new stock and you can select your favorite paper hanger and he can give it his whole time and attention. To anticipate this early demand we have our new line about in, and we do not hesitate to say that it is the best line we have ever shown. And we believe with our 24 years of experience of selling wall paper to the people here that we have a good knowledge of their wants. This year we bought the princi­ ple part of our line from the GLEDHILL WALL PAPER GO. OF NEW YORK. They are the largest manufacturers of wall paper in this country and it is the aim of every wall paper dealer to. get control of the Gledhill line in their district. We have it r this town, and by having it we haye all others, who may at­ tempt to handle paper, beaten at the start. Aside' front the Gledhill Line we select the special good things from the high­ est grade manufacturers of this country. If you don't see our j line you will not see all the good things in 1906 paper. We \ start the paper at 3c per roll and go higher according to your desire. Speaking of window shades our line of different grades is always complete, our assortment of colors is always well selected. We start them at 1Oc per shade including spring rollers. Our shade to order department is one of the beet departments in ou£ .-tore We can furnish you a shade of any color, any length or any width, either on tin or .wooden spring rolier. oui sei ves. .Wetrv.

We allow no one to undersell us, and if a dealer meets our prices he has got to do it at a loss of profit, for our big outfit and our connections with the largest manufacturers of wall paper in the United States puts our goods in the the store at jobber’s prices.

All VOU could not help but be pleased with our handsome showing of Dress Goods. Everything that is up-to-date, both in colors and in fabrics, is shown here, in an abundant choice both as regards price and quality. We know you appreciate our efforts to please you. The many dresses we have already sold for this spring trade proves it, but there are many who don't know the beautiful variety we show, neither do they realize how near they can buy at manufacturer’s closest figures. To those we want to say come, inspect, buy if you are suited, if not we'll thank you for looking. We mean to gain that same reputation, in this locality and it looks as if it was not far distant. Could all those who have Wall Paper to buy, talk with the many we have already fur­ nished our capacity would necessarily have to be doubled at once. There are many who have to be shown. We are ready and willing to prove to you the truth of these statements. It has been necessary for us to almost double our original pur­ chase, which was supposed to be ample. We are in the bus­ iness to stay for years. Just step in and compare prices and if we can’t save you some loose change we will step down and out. . C. R.

Everything that is up-to-date, both in colors • and in fabrics, is shown here, in an abundant choice both as regards price and quality. We know you appreciate our efforts to please you. The many dresses we have already sold for this spring trade proves it, but there are many who don’t know the beautiful variety we ' show, neither do they realize how near they can buy at manufacturer’s closest figures.

This meant riot only the highest quality in manufacture, but the very greatest economy— the cutting out of every wasteful item and every unnecessary expense. The remedies when . manufactured were shipExl directly from the boratory to the retail druggists. This insured their freshness and made it impossible for their quality to deteriorate. Not only that, but it also did away with the job­ bers’ profit. Here again the co-operative system added not only quality but brought about econ­ omy. . Most of our patrons are familiar with these facts. Most of them are already acquainted with the formulas of Rexall Remedies which are . manufactured by the . United Drug Co, with laboratory and principal offices in Boston, Mass.

There is nothing, secret about any of the Rexall formulas. On the contsary, wc» are thoroughly proud of them. We want you to know about them. . Several years ago, a thousand of the leading druggists throughout the * United States organized themselves together in a co-operative company to produce rem. iidi which they could back up with their own names and their own reputations. The first object! of this co-operative company was to produce a line of remedies that every druggist would know thoroughly. There were to be no secret formulas; the ingredients of every remedy would beiknown to every druggist; Each of these thou­ sand druggists contrib­ uted to the organization all that his kmxwledge and experience had brought to him I in .the way of advice as to dif­ ferent remedies/ The formulas of something like 2,000 or more .rem­ edies were sent to the company.

There is also a noticeable lack of irideaeeoce. One often sees a whole cabinet, probably light oak. full of n small fortune in glass, backed bf ft mirror.

"I should like some pock­ et money, and perhaps I ran earn it without anybody knowing It." Without anybody knowing you are doing work! -Wbat is there to be ashamed of In doing work? . Only bad work Is to be made a se< cret of; only bad work tu l»e bidden as If It wert? a sin. but unfortunately the bad -work ia told of far and wide and spoken of ns the way women work. ft is a mvun kind of pride that makes a girl .ask, "Can’t you tell' me aoxne work that .1 can do at home aud that no one will know about?" The girl doesn't know how mean it is.• If she has a home and a father who is happy carjug for her she .should leave that work to some womdn who has to earn her bread and butter by tlie labor of ber hands and not to the one to whom-it Is an amusement for the time being. • By It she wants to gain a little mon­ ey. Nine tithes in ten she is not very particular in the way of doing it, and so jibe makes the work of pther women of less value. That is where the mean­ ness comes in. There isn’t a single giri in the whole world who would like to be called mean, but- unconsciously we all do so many mean things. This being asham­ ed of having to work and doing If so very poorly, taking away from other women who need it sadly, are -mean things to do.—New Yor^, Press. E. E. > tlie?

She may not lie n great musician; but, then, the average man te not n very se­ vere critic. Yet no sooner has she a house of her own and a husband than she forgets all her pretty little pieces, and. as for getting up new ones, the idea never occurs to her. She used to be proud and happy to accompany a song, but now she cannot.. She "has no time" to Xcep up her practicing, and when she attempts to she findr, tn her dismay, perhaps, that she Is forgetting all she once knew. In time her little girls may take her place, and she, fond, unselfish mother, will be quite content maybe, but tbe husband misses some­ thing.

It renders the food more healthful and palat­ able and is most economical in practical use. Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to buy alum powders because they arc “cheap/’ Yet some of the cheapest'made powders are sold to consumers at the highest price. Housekeepers should stop and think. Is it not better to buy the Royal and take no chances— the powder whose goodness and honesty are never questioned ?

If a congress hostile to the president should fie chosen, it can easily be seen that all classes will trim ship for trouble; hesitation will take the place of confidence; doubt and un­ certainty of future legislative action take the place of alieolute confidence of the well settled economic and finan­ cial policies of the republican party. Just the threat of overhauling the tariff schedules would make a bad break in our phenomenal prosperity. It will be well for voters to think of thia when considering the future. W. J. Firming. Utvr .

It is unnt-ceSMiry. Without money or price you can consult a ivo^ num whose knowledge from aet'Jdl ex­ perience is great. Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weuknesaare invited to promptly cummuni cate with Mra. Pinkham, at Lvnn.-Mass. All letters are received, opened, rear! and answered by women only. A woman can freely p*lk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has' never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than posaible that she has gained tbe very knowledge tfiat will help your case. She asks nothing in return except yonr good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor..is very foolish if she does not take- advantage of this generous offer of assistance. If you are ill. don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegctable Compound at oner, and write Mrs. Pink­ ham: Lvnn. Maas . for special advice.

Straight Talks on Patent Medicines J The " Rcxall ” Remedies are successful and this is why. They were placed on the market three years ago. They have scored already the record of the greatest success ever known in the history of the drug business. “Come and go " popularity may arise from any number of causes (hullabaloo advertising among them) and may or may riot be founded on real worthiness. But the man, the plan, the idea, or She article that truly succeeds, does so because he dr it deserves to succeed, and for no other reason. « ’ The success of the “ Rexall ” Remedies L therefore the first evidence of their real merit They sell because they cure, and they cure be­ cause each one of them is the best remedy known to medical science for the particular ailment it is made to relieve. There are nearly 200 remedies sold under the “ Rexall ” name, each for one disease or one purpose. Each of these has been selected by a committee ot experts from among all other remedies of its class, for manufacture and sale by The United D-rg Company, a co­ operative association of leading American druggists. Wherever you see the name “ Rexall,” you may know that it stands for a formula scientifically correct and proved efficient in actual, long extended practice. We know these formulas and are glad to answer all inquiries regarding them, giving full information as to the ingredients. Here are three f_mous members of the “ Rexall ” family: i , i i I j ' j I , Sitt OUQ-teaspoonful each of salt, ciu- ! uaintln und clqvca with quo and one- ■ hull cupfuls of flour.

Some time ago an application was made to the Board of Education and Faculty of the High School to graduate a certain member of the Senior class May 1st. This request has not been granted, and we wish to make certain statements for the benefll of our aohoJ patrons so that none need labor nude wrong impressions of the actual con ditions and facts. It has been the practice of the school to graduate students only upon the completion ' of 16 . units of work, 15 units, being the least number accepted in any case. This has at all times teen definitely understood by all.’ A unit means .the credit received fur complet Ing a year of work in any subject, or two half years. We have also had an honor system which has been in use for years, whereby the seven members of tbe senior class, who receive the highest standings in their work I units) up to tbe begining of the second half of the senior year, are assigned commence ment parts according to their rank of honor. Now it is evident from the above that a student may have less credits man enough to graduate and still rank in those attained so as to be an honor student. This particular sen lor bad but 18 units of work, and from the above should have had 15 units to graduate on the least number. In , other words he had received credit for but thirteen fifteenths of the required work to graduate a pupil. Again we delight in a school whose studentscan enter the University on their diplomas. March 23, 19O« our school was placed wu on me the nni list u» of me the North Centra) Association of Colleges, B<> that now our graduating boys and can enter'any college or university in 12 of our sister states on their dlplo EARLY DATS IN BARKY (0! mentioned, are.

No legislative body In this country can long defy publfc opinion. What the people want will inevlubly’ sooner or later, be enacted into law. It Is so proven in the attitude of the United States senate toward the railroad rate regulation bill, now pending in that body. Corporation influence it strong in the senate. There is no doubt but that a powerful element in the senate, an ele­ ment that under ordinary circum­ stances could have its way in shaping legislation in that, body, has been op­ posed to President Roosevelt's plan for railroad rate regulation. But the peo­ ple are behind the President. The peo­ ple do not directly elect U. S. Senators as they will some day, but they do elect the legislators, who choose the Senators. And tbe people have made known rthelr position so that senators like Aldrich, and other representatives of tbe “vested interests." could not fail to appreciate the fact that when a senator opposed government rate regulation he was opposing the almost unanimous public sentiment of this country. And no body of men can long do that. Having discovered the utter futility of opposing what the people of this country, with practical unanimity, de manded the senate has completely changed front. Tbe senators seem now disposed to make the rate regulation bill as far reaching iu its provisions as pocible. They have voted to include express companies, sleeping car companies and pipe line companies in the list of com­ mon carriers, whose charges are to be regulated by tbe Interstate commerce commission. They have amended the bill so that any litigation growing out of tbe com­ mission’s acts must be speedilly settled. . They have fixed it so that an injunction ’ cannot be granted against an act of the commission except by giving five days notice, and it juust be heard before three U. S. circuit judges, two of whom must concur. Appeals from the de“fjfp of the U. S. circuit courts, who al<.e are empowered to hear railroad rad cases, must go direct to the U. 5. Bpreme court, and are there to be giv«n precedence over all other cases ex. jept crimnial causes, thus preventing vexatious delays. Tbe senate has amended the original Hepburn bill by striking out the only doubtful clause in it, and adding an­ other which leaves tbe fixing of rates absolutely with the interstate com­ merce commission, subject only to the limited court review we have outlined. Iu other jvords the President and the people have, routed the railroad sena­ tors, and won a signal victory for a just and righteous railroad rate bill, and the senate has learned that it must respect its real master, the people. ' Governor Warner’s desire and that of tbe other state officers, that the next republican state Convention shall be absolutely free from the influences which have sometimee iu the past made state couventions subjects of severe and deserved criticism, is one that every republican in tbe state will share and commend. Their protest against making the nomination of state officers a mere incident in connec­ tion with a four or five-cornered sena­ torial light is not in tbe least unreason­ able. The prospective candidates for county offices in every county in the state are directly interested with the state officers in seeking to prevent fur­ ther cause for criticism of their state convention.—Ex. If most of the voters of our state and country wcre not producers as well as consumers it might be possible to con­ vince them that cheapness was-best for them. But they have tried cheapness as a promised panacea. They have vivid memories, most of them have, of the days and months when they could buy things for almost nothing. And those days and months were the most disastrous and distressing J they can re ­ member. Something more alluring than cheapness must be promised them, if the voters of Michigan are to induced to vote against republican con­ gressmen at next November’« elections. The action of the state centra] com­ mittee in deciding against the proposi­ tion to have the next state convention select the republican candidate for U. 8. Senate is wise and timely. We think there is na good reason for asking a state convention to make this choice. If the people could do it at tbe June primary it would be very satisfactory, bat it » too late for that now.

In order prove--aleolutelv the. superior wearing of _____ __ __ to__ _ - . quality ;. iSha-rples Tub­ ular Cream Separators, we arranged a severe test in which a hand driven Dairy­ Tubular did. in one year, work equal to 52 years' actual service in a ten cow dairy. How did we do it? We took a No. 9 band-driven Sharpies Dairy Tubular Cream Separator, at random, from among hundreds of others, just like it. then in our ware house. Wp did not select a specially well made Tubular, for all Tubulars are built with equal care, but we simply took- one. at random, from many exactly alike—just as you would take one potato from a bushel of equally good ones. We attached this No. 9 Tubular to a driving apparatus, that turned it just as you would, set it going. This test started August 2, 1904 and lasted until August 2. 1905—one full year. Is it would take a Na 9 Tubular about fifty hours to separate a full year’s milk from the average tencow dairy, we ran this Tubular 50 hours every week, making It do as much work every week at it would have 4 do Id one full years’ actual service in a ten cow dairy. We continued the test for 52 weeks—one whole year— making the Tubular do a year’s work every week. At the end of 52 weeks it had, you see, done as much work as though in actual dally use 52 years in a ten-cow dulry. . We gave this No. V Tubular hard service-extra work—just for good measure During the whole test, we made it run at oue eigth greater speed and capacity than It would have done in actual use. W.e also made it do a few minutes’ extra work every day. But we have not counted In this extra work and extra time in the fol lowing record but have let it go as good measure. Therefore, the following figures do not ihow all of the work done The actual work done is a little more than one-eighth greater than the table shows. If “bucket’bowl,,makr speak to you lightly of this unequaled performance, remember this: This Tubular did more than one eighth (over 6*s years' more work l^an w® claim for It, or credit it with, here.

So We must not permit prejudice to lead u* to desire or expect congress to pass laws that would be a wrong to individ nd ur property rights iff dealing with the corporations affected by tbe rate bill. “A square deal to all” should be the ssntiment of every citizen. The U. S. senate has incorporated a limited court review in tbe rate bilL That is doing but justice, so long as the bill provides, as it does for tbe speedy trial of such cases. Tbe constitution pro­ vides that property shall not be taken < from any citizen without just compen­ sation. That opens the way for an appeal to tbe court by any citizen who . feels his .property rights are invaded. Had the rate bill been silent on the question of review by tbe courts, that would not have interfered with such review, for tbe vonttitutinn of the ‘ land expressly delegates to the courts tbe right to .deal with cases in which right of person or property are invol­ ved. Therefore ibe senate bill, in em­ bodying limited court review in the rate bill has but recognized a right the courts already possessed, and have possibly saved the rate bill from being declared unconstitutional a* it might have been if it had not contained pro­ vision for court review. ’ Now let the U. S. senate do as good a job for the people in perfecting and passing the bill taking the duty from denatured alcohol a* it has in per­ fecting the rate, bill and the country will have its confidence in that body measurably restored.

IT PAYS USE THEBANNER WANT COLUMN. of handling milk was to set the new milk in crocks, pans or cans---wait for .the cream to rise---skim it off the milk—then wash ail those pans and cans. It is too hard and wasteful and every farmer s wife will admit that it was a lot of work. The New Way is to use a Tubular Cream Separator. Simply pour the warm new milk into the supply can—start the machine— and the skimming at once commences. The new milk passes into a rapidly revolving tubular bowl, where centrifugal force—the force of rapid whirling-—separates the cream from skimmed milk. The cream commences to flow from one spout and the skimmed milk from the other. All the cream is secured and makes better butter. The skimmed milk is fresh and warm, and in the best condition for feeding. No other Way as Easy. A lew minutes alter tbe. milking is finished the milk is all skimmed. The lew and simple parts of the Tubular are quickly washed and put away—the skimmed milk, still warm and fresh, is fed to the calves—the cream set away to cool. There are no crocks, pans, nor cans to wash, scald and air. DID YOU READ THE LONG LIST PUBLISHED IN THEBANNER LAST WEEK OF THOSE WHO HAVE PURCHASED THE TUBULAR CREAM SEPARATOR? ASK THEM HOW THEY LIKE THE MACHINE. The Tubular Separator will greatly lessen the work of the wife: will give you better return, iu every way, will pay for itself in a abort time. ' r THE NEW ELK JR.

You must shave your expenditures until they are less than your income, then save the difference by putting it into the bank. Or in other words, put part of your income into the bank regularly and live on the remainder. You do not have to sacrifice the comforts of living in order to save a little out of your income. It’s the idea of sav­ ing a little and saving it with system. A bank account helps you to save regularly. We pay 3-per cent compound interest on savings deposits.

Officers to,Be.Voted On One week from next Tuesday, Juno 12, Barry county voters will have their first experience with “Primary Re­ form" or the system where the people vote directly for nominees for office, instead of doing sb by the caucus and convention system. The' "primary election" as it is called will be conducted by the same township and ward officers as a regular election. Only voters who enrolled at the party enrollment April 2 can vote at the primary election of June 12. If any voter was sick or away from home so he could not enroll April 2; or if he has become of age since tiien; he can become enrolled and vote on June 12 at the primary* election. Republican and democratic ? candi­ dates for the nomination of governor and lieutenant governor will be voted for by rhe enrolled electors at the pri­ mary election June 12.

The nomiating of delegatee to county | conventions' to be held within a week • after June 12 will be done at the pri-1 mary election of June 12th. This will be done by all parties. These county­ conventions must choose delegates to state conventions which will nominate candidates for state offices other than governor and lieutennant governor. All parties will vote on the questton of whether hereafter nominations Wr governor and lieutenant governor shall be made at primary elections. In Barry county the repubicans onlyhave the necessary petitions signed to submit the question of using the direct nomination plan in nominating candi­ dates for state senator, representative, and county officers.

AT GOVERNMENT PRINTERY. WILL STOP BAD . PRACTICES. the Other Departments Will Copy Workings of New Division Headed by Him. . Our readers will remember the re­ cent notice in three columns of th* appointment of Chas. &, ^rava. of Grand Rapids, and formerly of thia city, a« inspector of the government printing offices at Washington, in which we predicted that whoa he took bold of affairs there would be an end to graft in that department of govern­ ment work. That he is fulfilling this prediction may be seen from an article in Wednesday’s Grand Rapids Prees from which wt> clip the following. • It is now fairly well understood that several of the heads of the federal gov­ ernment's executive offices, or depart­ ments. contemplate taking up the mat­ ter of establishing in their respective bailiwicks inspection division* similar in the scope and character to those re­ cently introduced by the public print­ er in the big government printery. A number of inquiries have jupt been made with that end in view. When the “inspection division" was .at first instituted many persons constructed it into a sort of detective agency. The public printer says, however that he had other ideas in his head when he created the office of chief in­ spector. Ono of the principal purposes was to put the executive bead, in • touch* with every branch of printery and with each of its many employee; also to give the public printer an opportunity to direct the movement* of the big force and the vast output without being hampered by the matter of detail, which is left largely to the inspection division. In choosing Charles Brown, of Grand Rapids,' as chief inspector the public printer was The ninth annual banquet of the Barry county Bar Association held 'at the Episcopal Parish house Munday evening and was well attended and a very enjoyable affair for the members of the bar, and their guests.

The recent revelations of grafting the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. officials is most unwelcome and unpleasant The Pennsylvania system had long been regarded as a model in efficiency, in­ tegrity andfgood service. The repu­ tation for integrity will need some re­ viaion in the light of the astonishing testimony taken before the interstate commerce committee at its recent sit­ ting in Philadelphia. It was shown that from the assistant to the presi­ dent down to freight handlers grafting was rife. It was proven that coal com pan les which gave shares of their stock to officials of«tbe railroad conld get cars when they wanted them, could sell their coal to that railroad, and could get other favors. The small independent coal miner who couldn't afford to give such favors conld get no cars no accommodations comparatively speaking. The rank iniustice' of this practice can tie understood without comment That the revelations will lead to drastic legislation Is certain. 10c I5c I8c 25c 50c W. E. MERRITT £ a — , Mrs. C. E.

But that is hardly worth while. The best attitude for the thoughtful man in such times is to be patient, and to realize that these unwelcome revelations are but the out­ ward manifestations of an inward trouble of the body politic, a malady which is carable, but which can never be healed by any pessimistic 'attitude of heart or mind. To believe that all is bad tends to make it so. To believe that out of the unpleasant things will come good; and to help make it so by thought and influence for rightousness In the public and business life of thin country, that helps. And he who does that is a patriot. There must be surgery though. The cancers of graft and greed must bo cutout; and to cut them out is an act of mercy. Those who do the surgery need the aid of the people, the active aid of public sentiment. Those who suffer from the surgery should feel the sting of public opinion, but should be welcomed back, to society whan they are ready to take th sir places as men. disposed to do the right thing by their fellows. Years ago rebating was not thought a crime, nor secret rates nor accepting gifts for business favors. But now the man who gives or takes such gifts is brand­ ed as the enemy of society. A higher business morality is coming, and days for better things are nearer because im frM 5 to IDt I jirt h tom guilt.

Mr. Newton can tell of some thrilling experience* with the Indians, but he fortunately [■IIm—1 through them all in safety. He knows all about the hardships of pioneering in tbe west, and knew what the hard times and hard luck were from his own ekperienoe. But be' has lived to w a wonderful transformation. Railroads, tbe telephone and the daily mail have put tbe Nebraska farmer in close touch .with the great outride world. And tbe. Nebraska farmer has been wise eneugh to tskea deep interest in good roads, and the country high­ ways of the eastern part of that state are getting to be the very belt, farm­ ers in Nebraska have prospered rfreutly in recent years. Land which a few years ago. could be bought for t’25 or ♦30 an acre now sells for 135 or 3130 an acre. Mr. Newton has a section of land, and isn't looking for a buyer. But be is sensible enough to rent hia big farm, while he and Mrs. Newton get around to take pleasure , and com­ fort in their declining yearn. Mr. Newton ia much interested in Hastings and Barry county, and in hia old frieuda here. He is looking forward with pleasant anticipations to tbe ‘ pioneer gathering.of June 9. and to­ meeting those who ’knew as be did what pioneer life in Barry countymeant.

Congressman Towne is a New York Tammany ‘lawyer now. and it is not to be expected that the intereats be directly and indirectly represents would be pleased with Roosevelt's manner of doing things or with the things he has done. Presi­ dent Roosevelt may have made some mistakes in the course of his fearless and forward fight for honesty and justice from those who hare to do with the official affairs of our country and for fair play and u square deal from corporations, combinations and tne business interests generally. But his mistakes ;have done little harm, while the effective results for good have been as great as ever attained by one man since our government was established. Abuse of President Roosevelt is not a campaign policy that can be of any avail to the democrat party this year.—Cadilac News. The election of delegates to county or district conventions at the primary election to be held June 12, is one re­ quirement of that day which is in danger of’being overlooked. In every county in the state delegates must be elected Jone 12 to the county conven­ tion which will choose delegates from the county to the state convention. It will be necessary to elect delegates to district conventions where candi dates are not to be chosen by direct party vote. The other duties of pri mary day, June 12, voting on candi­ dates for governor and lieutenant governor, and on the question of the adoption of the primary convention method, will be more in the minds of1 most voters. But the election of dele­ gates to county and district conventions must be thought of and prepared for in advance and should not be forgotten.— Improved labor conditions, increased railway earnings, better collections, crop conditions favorable and a gain of almost two million dollars in the sales of American goods to foreign purchasers, was last week’s record as compared with the same week of last year. Finding fault with such oondi^ons and urging drastic turn-about .movements, in order to provide ma­ terial for a political platform and to meet the peculiar exigencies of an ap­ proaching political camps ign. may be a democrat party necessity, but it is aarsly a necessity which Michigan democrate Will Dpt enjoy. Seeking to make the worst of things appear rather Continued from pace one about 8 months in the year, with his wife and aged mother, the latter well known here. In the evening Mr. Bessmer attended an entertainment at the Iris theatre conducted by the Theoeophista. It consisted of music and readings given by pupils of the institution. While at San Diego Mr. Bessmer took a tally-ho trip into oW Mexico, about 20 miles distant. The ^rive was thro orange and lemon groves mainly, but be saw some very ]>ocr oat fields, the first poor crops be had seen in Cali­ fornia. The party started at nine and reached Via Juana about noon. The town is mainly a place to attract tour­ ists, and fleece them, Mr. Bessmer adds, if they can. The stores are all curio stores, and there is a place where bull fighting is conducted. His dinner there was ’typically Mexican, being composed of tomatoes done up in corn husks served for the first course. The second course was boiled beef, and the third, meat .of some small animal and Mexican coffee. On their way back they stopped at an orange grove where they picked oranges from the trees all they wanted at the reasonable price of 10 cents a dozen. Mr. Bessmer says one never knows what fine flavored oranges are until they have eaten them directly from the tree. While in Los. Angeles Mr. Bessmer met a sister of Mr. Siegel Kopf, of this city, whose husband is a contractor. The latter told Mr. Bestmer that 900 buildings are put up there every month —over 10,000 a year. The style of architecture is quite different from the east. houses have no cellars and sewer and water pipes are laid shallow as it never freezes. The favorite house is one story with five or six rooms called bungalows. They paint them a very dark green, brown or almost black, and Mr. Bessmer found it hard to beexune accustomed to these dark colors. When at San Pedro, 27 miles from Los Angeles. Mr. Bessmer saw them trying to land a huge shark which was claimed to weigh 5,000 pounds, and one of the largest ever caught In trying to get him out of the water they had serious trouble; several ropes broke and .the owner of the crane they were using for lifting him out refused to pull any more fear­ ing his crane would sot stand the weight They moved the fish to a larger crane the owner offering to pull it out and place it cm a flat car for B25. The owner finally sold the fish for 2200, and it was skinned and mounted for show in a museum. The shark was caught in a net, and it is claimed did 2175 of damage to the netting. Mr. Bessmer left Los- Angeles March 26th and went to San Francisco, .stop­ ping at Hotel Winchester, which was burned during the recent disaster—Mr. ing and it is hard for him to realize that hand is as unfortunate for a political most of the city, with its magnificent patty as for the individual possessed buildings, is now in ruins.

And he thinks if be were looking for farm land be would locate in Colorado as he never saw finer farm lands than those east of Denver. As far as the eye can reach one sees the finest prairie lands, rolling just enough to carry the water off. Every farm has wind mills, so that water cannot be scarce. Mr. Bessmer is very enthusiastic over the west, and if younger in years w*e fear Hastings would lose a very good citizen. His impressions of California of couree were all gained previous to the earthquake. CORRESPONDENCE, MAPLE GROVL Benj. Pearce and wife are visiting relatives in Battle Creek and vicinity.

WHOIS INJURING • VESTED "IN­ TERESTS.” It .is natural that President Cassatt, stung by tbe merciless expusuries of grafting on his Pennsylvania system, should return from his European trip in a very disturbed state of mind. His manners are also said to have been greatly improved. Instead of dismis­ sing inquisitive reporters for the daily press with a curt ' toothing to say” he is said on this occasion to have ex­ tended the glad hand, and to hare treated them with tiecoming courtesy. This demonstrates that even a Penn­ sylvania Railroad president can bo made to feel the lash of public opinion as reflected in the press, and be made to feel that be is of common clay like the rest of tod, and .uian square himself with his fellows. President Cassatt has issued a state­ ment to the public concerning the astonishing revelations of grafting on his railroad, compromising his son, his son-in-law and his brother as w$ll as vice-presidents, division superin­ tendents and others in authority in his system. Mr. Cassatt assures the country that these things shall have merited attention, and that no one will be retained on the road who has been using his position to ‘•graft" for himself. If that is done there will be several new faces among the officers of the Pennsyvania. After expressing his regret over the unpleasantness and promising -to re­ form abuses that may be found as a result of the rigid investigation ho will cause tq be made.* Mr. Cassatt deplores the growing "hostility to vested interests” which he finds in this country, snd regrets that the lead­ er* 'of both parties seam to be out- | bidding each other in their spectacular j attacks "upon vested interests.” All this in the mind of the Pennsylvania president, is calculated to work “serious injury to vested interests." We quite agree that vested interests will he harmed by the revelations of grafting in the big business corpora­ tions. It is no doubt true that these have inflamed popular prejudice against them. It is not hard to understand that leading politicians, who catch tbe drift of public sentiment, should be in sympathy with the idea of ‘the vast majority uf tbe people whom they But who is responsible for this harmful sentiment against "vested interests?” those interests .have them­ selves to blame for tbe hostility against them which is so manifest. They are but reaping tbe bitter fruits of their own greed and ,of their selfish disregard of the rights and intereeta of the peapie whom they were delegated by law to serve instead of plunder. The quickest road hack to popular favor for these big corporations ia to purge themselves of grafters and graft­ ing, give the people a square deal, and in general so conduct themselves their behalf in direct opposition of the very influences some of them feared , would.oontrol him. Michigan'straveling men represent an aggressive and influential element and their cordial favor for Governor Warner and the re­ publican state ticket will be a source of strength and encouragement ^to Re­ publican candidates in every district and county in the state.—Cadillac News.

Tbe Kaffir slave at Kabul belonged to one of those black clad mountain tribes in the heart of Afghanistan, who till 1895 defied their Moslem, neighbors and on their dlaxy precipices gloated on their idolatry.

He ia the burgomaster of a village In a street whereof a cy­ clist ran over and killed a goose. Tbe owner of tbe bird demanded 3 marks damages. Tbe cyclist thought 2 ample. The case came before the chief mag­ istrate. wbo gave bis judgment as follows: "The plaintiff deciares' that Jf paid 3 marks he will make no . claim for the dead goose.

They came largely from the cast, with some from Ohio and Indi­ ana and tbe result they have left for us. their children, is the best evidence of their sterling worth. . \ What it» pioneer? In a military sense a pioneer is one of a party or company of fnot soldiers who march before, or with an army, and are furnished with digging or cut­ ting implements to dear the way of obstructions, repair the road, dig , trenches, etc. • In a civic sense a pioneer is one who goes before and opens and leads c r prepares the way for others coming after. Specifically, a first or early ex­ plorer. When we can concohre. tbat so far as this part of the country is concerned it 1 was a vast forest, aud in moat parts I covered with heavy timber, traversed with creeks and river* without bridg' es. without highways, less than threefourths of a century ago, and that I were it nut tor the sturdy pioneer k would be the same today, we have . some slight comprehension of tbe task j these men and women of the thirties ' ' and forties came to meet, came to' ‘ conquer, came to chiuige from its vast* i uest* ana stillneMH. to a land of homes. ■ ; and school houses and ctmrches.

Self sacrifice! Can you think of anything that can equal it? Courageous, brave, papent! Can you think of a courage, or bravery or patience that exceeds it? It Is indeed fitting my friends, that we net apart a day to recall to our recollection .these unselfish men and women.

Mr. Bryan declared that tbe free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 was the paramount issue in 1896 and 1900. He predicted all sorts of calamities to this country if be were not believed, and the mints were not freely opened, to tbe white ffietal. Now ' he declarer that “the silver question is a dead issue “He a* positively as­ serts- that government ownership of railroads is the vital or ‘ ’paramount'' issue. How can Mr. Bryan expect public confidence in bimsolf as a politi­ cal prophet when he falls down so com­ pletely <m his prophecies? He may be ever so sincere—and the more sincere thp more dangerous—but the people wjio remem her his prophecies of evils that were to follow thq rej'ection of his financial program will Ijardly cred­ it his prophecies Of-benefits that will follow if the nation bpys^hejrailroads. adds *12.000,000.960 th Krbonded debt and puts 2,000,000 - more -^n the government pay roll. Mr. Btyna's program of government ownership is not practical. We do want govern­ ment regulation but not government ownership. Tbe four hundred delegatee to the convention of the Michigan United Oommerical Travelers, recently held at Petoskey, unanimously adopted a resolution extending the thanks of the commercial travelers of Michigan to Governor Warner for his energetic assisuujee in the matter of having the railroads of Michigan restore the int­ erchangeable mileage books. Two years ago many of the commercial traveling men of Michigan were opposed to Gov­ ernor Warner because of their fear,. through declarations made by his apponent, that be would favor the railroads rather than their interests if an opportunity should present itself. They know for themselves now as to Governor Warner's position on such matters, and he will have no better or more effective support this year than will come to him from the Mich­ igan traveling men.—Ex. The recent decislon*'nf Judge Homphry, of the federal court in Chicago, granting immunity from prosecution for the beef packers because they had tieen asked by the commissioner of com­ merce to give the facts upon which the prosecution was basjxl. This decision was probably good law. But it served to allow men to go free who should not. This immunity will be impos­ sible hereafter. A bill has been intro­ duced in the senate by Senator Knox which provides that “immunity should extend only to tbe natural parson, who in obedience to a sub­ poena. gives testimony under oath, or produces evidence docuniientary or otherwise, under oath.’’ This will be a bitter pill Tor the trusts, whose officers have been able to escape pro% seeution by making statements or ex­ planations where not under oath, to federal officials. The spell of having legislation in the - Michigan state senate largely in the hands of certain interests is broken by the Domination of Patrick H. Kelly as lieutenant governor. The lieutenant governor as the presiding officer of the senate names its committees. Those committees largely shape leg­ islation. They can report out a bad bill and effectually kill a good one by not reporting it For years the custom had obtained of naming an upper pen insula man for lieutenant governor's place.

LARGE CROWDS Contlooed on Mge four, 1st Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry-Count) 2nd Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in then own homes at times when they have the time and disposition to read them. 8rd Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the datef remembered. ’ ... With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the "irrepressible kid soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory -and that usually right around, the place where the sale was to be held. As a result but a.H neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy arti<'lej for less than they were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNHK Auction Sale advertisemqpts draw people from all over the county and we haveedveitisw many sales at which people have been present from evert township in TpK <•••! >TYThey were present because articles were advertised that they wanted aud they prepared to bid.

In a very well written article on tbe above subject, the Globo-Wernicke Doings makes tho following timely comments which we commend to the thoughtful attention of the locul.'tradesmen of Barry county. The GolbeWernicke Co. does just what they urge the dealer to do—use printer’s ink liberally. You will find their ad vertisomente In moat all the magazines and periodicals. In addition the Go. print a very readable paper, called the •’Globe Wernicke ’’Doings." This is what they advise the retail dealer to do: ' 'Now it ia only possible for tbe mail order house to reach tbe consumer through advertising. There is no other possible way by which communica­ tion is established. This advertising takes the form of an Encyclopediac Catalogue, liberal space in farm pa­ pers. and cheap periodicals Now the local dealer not only his tho opportunity to utilise a medium which is usually read with more in­ terest than any outside periodical. is own local paper, but he has everv advantage that comes from ncquaintance and tbe ability to show and carry’ the goods in stock No unknown c«ooern should be allowed to compete for businsi under such conditions unlew. there ia something radically wrong with the dealer aud he dosen't fully appreciate tie bale onie, depending.

The duration in man ha* l«en variously fixed at from 18 to, 60 days to 34 months and even longer; in the dog from 10 to 90 days. Should a person receive a bite from a rabid dog. no time should be lost in thoroughly dressing the wound. If tbe wound is superficial, cauterization with nitrate of silver may be applied, but should the wound be deep, creolin (pure' should be worked into the open­ ing. afterwards binding the parts with 23 per cent solution of creolin, which should be changed frequently. The Pasteur treatment offers now the only possible means of escape from death, but it should always be borne in mind that it is only a preventive measure, for if the symptoms once set iu. or the treatment is delayed too long, it will like other remedies fail. In Europe, where proper dog laws are enforced, the average of hydropho­ bia caads is one in every 2.000.0011 in­ habitants. In Chicago in T902 there were tourteen deaths iu le» than 2.000.00) people.

This plan has its advantages and also disadvantages. Often you are disappointed when the goods arrive, as they are far from what you expected and to make exchanges (if you are allowed to do this) is expensive and un­ satisfactory, and really you save no money—count the postage and express or freight and see what the price really is. Try coming here before you send an order away again, and there will be no chance for disappointment or deception. Here are some of the bargains we have prepared for this week’s rapid selling.

They save smokers nearly one-half their cigar money, and give them better-made, better-kept and better-quality cigars besides. . Tobacco itself is not immensely expensive. The great cost of cigars has always ‘ been in the wasteful way in which they were sold. No other merchandise of such common use passed through so many hands and was loaded with so many profits between producer and consumer. The National plan reduces cost, not by reducing qual , but by cutting off ail the “ lost motion ” in handling and all unnecessary profits, ational Cigar Stands’ cigars come to you straightfrom the producer.

Chamber­ lin He has been tendered a Ijke position in tbe nublic schools of Wau­ kesha Wis., at a^ targe advance in salary. His acceptance of tbe proffered position will no doubt .follow, and he will be released from his contract by the school board of this city. The board white regretting the loos to tbe local school*, feel that, as they cannot pay what is offered elsewhere, they ought not to stand in tbe way of a better position for Mr. Chamberlin The schools of this city have made remarkable progres- under Prof. Cham­ berlin. He has splendid executiv e abil­ ity. To lose him now when tbe best teaching and executive talent are en­ gaged for tbe next school year, and when the board will hare to take chances that would not be necessary earlier in tbe year, make* tbe loss more keenly felt. All congratulate Prof. Chamberlin on bis advancement and wish him unbounded success in bis new field. Ho is a worker, an or­ ganiser and a punbsr. and his *ucce** is not doubtful. We hope the school board will exert themselves to the utmost to secure the best possible executive bead tor the schools next year. Even if it shall rest a little more, we believe tbe tax payers ot this city will stand by tbe hoard and cordially indorse their action if they shall do all that is possible to get a man in Prof. Chamberlin's place who ha» as much genius for organisation and is the poweasor of as much exccutie ability as has been shown in tbe management of tbe public schools of thin city in the past three yean. It would be most unfortunate for all in tereats to take a backward step, and we hope tbe board will not disappoint tbe friends or onr public schools who want to are PROGRESS the watch­ word. and wbo realize that whatever makes for progress is true economy.

The ordinary routine of army life vanishes with tbe sound of firing, and Gallagher was in It with the rest ‘ of us. 1 remember seeing one of the * junior lieutenants telling hltn to "go In" and be would help him by testify­ ing to tho fact on bis trial for mutiny.

Our work had now commenced In thing but fighting till we had captured the pity of Mexico. Our battery was a good deal cut up by the-concentrated fire of several Mexican batteries on the heights of rhapuitepec. Kelly vowed that the Axtec. an be had called Gallagher, had come back from purga­ tory and entered the body of tbe officer commanding the battery that bad done no the most damage.

At the very best they covered but a small territory—an" mat usually right around the place where t be sale was to be held. A.* a result but a fe» neighbors were usually present attracted more by curiosity and a desire to bu> arts* for less than they were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. R-lXN^.** Auction sale advertisements draw people from all over the county and we have advertiser many sales at which people have been present from EVERY TOWNSHIP IN Till :<TT’ iney were present because articles were advertised that they wanted and they ctnif prepared to bid.

England, there stands a monument quite distinct from all those which surround It. It consists of a tall, square pyramid overgrown with Ivy, through the middle of which projects n coffin made of stone. This monument was raised by a sou to his parents, William and Agnes Loudon, as the inscriptions tell. They do not. parents' remains poised In mid air to tbe stone shell Instead of being burled In tbe usual manner. Thia curious act Is accounted for to a strange way. It appears that his parents came Into long as their bodies were above the ground.” When they died, therefore.

Now, at that time —IR®, the Mtoni! year after the good Queen Victoria ascended tbe throne of England—the postuffice was a very different bureau from what It to today. The mall wa| nil curried on coaches, and the chargt-s ou letteif* were tn pro­ portion to the distance they were trans­ mitted. ranging {from IB to 40 cents for a letter weighing an ounce, and were collected when tbe letter was de­ livered. Since the value ct a shilling was proportionately much greater then than now the cost of postage, especially on a letter sent from one extremity of the kingdom to another, was. to the poor, prohibitive. Sir Hotleriek stepped up to tbe de­ livery window and. finding a young woman, a maidservant, there, waited. The clerk had lianded her a letter, and she wus looking at tbe superscription. Presently she sighed nnd turned to leave. Tbe clerk called her back. 'This Is the third time tbi* week you've been here to ask for letters, and. though I've bad one for you every time you've called."

Without exhibiting any feeling against tbe Board of Trade, those who spoke expraMed tbe wish that an en­ tirely new organ ration be formed for the solo purpoM of promoting the • growth of .tbe city. Accordingly tbe ' Acun "Hastings Industrial Asaoeiarion.'' 1 as the new aygaairation ia 'called wa-1 formed. The following officer* were choMD. Mayor George W.

It was decided that a fund should bo available for the par po*o of meeting current expense* building a factory building, or mak­ ing a factory baena whatever might be deaired.

It may bn possible that two aeganizatiem* with the same end in view will accomplish mure than one. That can only be true if tbe rivalry be friendly aa we certainly hope it may be. Speaking for ournalve* aa individuals, and wo believe we speak for the great body of the members of the Board of Trade, we not only doI not propone to criticise or "knack" at the Industrial Association, bat it shall have our aid and hearty co-epct atton In every tangible proposition it George Hfachmau Succeeds to the Business of Hinchman & Mall We«- at Frank Horton's grocery.

The results ob­ tained from advertising auction sales in The Banner are too well known to require any argument. We have advertised a hundred sales, and the record is one of unbroken success. People expect to see every auction sale ad­ vertised in The Banner and for this reason they have come to pay little “if any” attention to bills. Nobody who contemplates holding a sale can afford to take the chance of not advertising in The Banner—It means money to you.

A slope to the cast Is probably best, though this matter Is not of first Im­ portance. Slightly aloping land Is bet­ ter than perfectly level land. Tbe fruit garden should not come nt the bottom of a slope, and especially not ta a pocket of taw laud. The fruit plantation ought to be pro­ tected by windbreaks on the north aud tbo south.

The Cash Store We are selling for Cash Only That doera’t mean that we don’t care about the trade of those who have been in tH battt of having goods charged. It does mean, however, that we feel the necessity of making it possible for the cash buyer to purchase his goods cheaper than tbe one who wante "time.” it means that if you confine your trade to us you don’t have to pay the other fellow's debts. It means that your money in our store will buy more goods and’ better goods than at any store which makes a practice of carrying customers on its books for months and sometime years. It means that, because -we.get the money when we sell the goods, we can pay* cash and get the lowest possible price when we buy new goods It means dollars and cents save3 to you—and a considerable amount during tbe course of the year.

Tlie National Cigar Stands Co. neither owns druggists nor is owned by them—it is tke druggists themselves (the undersigned among them), acting in unison so as to secure advantages irhich, as indi­ viduals, they could not secure. This union of stores gives in its aggregate selling, the greatest cigar outlet on earth', owns its own brands; controls its own factories. And it has enabled its members to offer better cigar values than have ever been offered by any cigar dealer since the selling of cigars began. CUBA-ROMA Clear Havana Cigar, at 5 cents is an example.

It does mean, however, that we feel the necessity of making it possible for the cash buyer to purchase his goods cheaper than the one who wants "time.” It means that if you confine your trade to us you don’t have to pay the other fellow’s debts. It means that your money in our store will buy more goods and better goods than at any store which makes a practice of carrying customers oa its books for months and sometimes years. It means that, because we get the money when we sell the goods, we can pay cash and get the lowest possible price when we buy new goods. It means dollars and cents saved to yon—and a considerable amount during the course of the year. Don’t forget our 42-piece dinner set, regular $5.00 for *3.50.

And that reputation is worth more to us as a business asset than the dollars and cents value of all the goods contained in this store. To live up to it fairly and squarely is the subject of our constant thought and care. We take no chances, we make no experiments, we sell nothing of whose merit we are doubtful in the slightest degree. And we find it the very best of business policy.

People expect to see every auction sale ad­ vertised in The Banner and for this reason they have come to pay little “if any” attention to bills. Nobody who contemplates holding a sale can afford to take the chance of not advertising in The Banner—-It means money to you. Remember, we make dates for the auctioneers.

Two samples of flour may look exactly tbe same in color. One of them will make good bread, and the other won’t. The difference is there. One of the flours is made right, the other isn’t.

I believe, on tho general asMsmeat. which has created a road fund rnnnuMC fM,000.00 to tlfi,Wu.W a year. The reaulthoji been the imuroveinent ot the roads throughout tbe county. The name mistake however, has b-on made in not jutting the giavel to aufficieot depth, ao that in a few years, it breaks through and then is under repair, which is a constant expense and would be avoided to a large extent had they built the road juore aubotantiol at tbo atari. Notwithstanding these nir takw. this manner of improving and maintaining roads is rtiU aa popular as over, so much so that tho Board of Supervisors, at the last eewlon in October made the aswoMment of two [mills, for^the coming year, which will create a fund something like WLOOttOT or MU.000.00. Thia shows that tne farmer*, who are a lame majority on tbo Board of Supervisors, see the ben­ efits of good roads, and aro willing to pay tbeir part freely. I make this suggestion to the businoM men .of your City, to raise a sufficient fund, send to every farmer in the County a double poatnl card, asking a reply to tbeir sentiment of having the county rond system adopt­ ed in your county. This means you would got a fuir oxpromion and then. If advisable, have it voted on at your coming spring election, which I have no doubt would retry.

I think good roads are more essential to the farmer than the railroads, und wtai benefits the farmer, benefit^ the merchant and the bus Ineos man equally aa well.

The chanbe towin unearned wealth attracts Home people; they do not atop to consider how small their chances are to become rich quick. A large majority of the human race are content to place their savings in a safe unquestionable bank where Urey are sure of return's--returns that are consistent with legitimate banking. Small sums can safely earn a per cent that pays. Careful men would rather place their money where '.the element of chance is eliminated and where the funds are available at all times. — .. . [Tba M.

Tuesday and Wednesday of last week were consumed in the circuit court in the trial of James II. Mix. a well-to-do citizen of Nashville, on the charge of setting tire to the dwelling house and barn on one of his farm* north of that village At 10:80 Wednesday night the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Prosecutor Lae II. Pryor and Tbomim Sullivan apja-ared for the people, while Colgrove <S Potter of this citv and Arthur E. Kidder, of Nashville, represented the defendant, it was a hard fought, in­ teresting trial. In Nashville and Maple Grove where Mix is very well known a deep inter­ est was taken in this trial. The night f May t!3rd this year a bouse and barn on one of Mix's farms about three miles north of Nashville were burned. The buildings were Insured tn the Barry ‘Eaton Insurance Co., from which he asked >1275 in set­ tlement of the claim. President An­ drus uf the Co., who acted *s adjuster, ffxed the amount of the Company's liability fur the Ins* at 11. tXN, and gave Mix an order fur that amount, payable in 8<< days from its elate. Th<Company did cot pay the order. There were some things about tbc cireuriutancns ot the burning of three buildings that had a suspicious look.

Tbe solid nucleus be supposes to be tmtween 3,000 and 7.000 miles in diameter, aud this Is surround­ ed by a liquid substratum, outside ot which is the crust, variously estimat­ ed at 70 to 200 miles In thickness. More than two centuries ugo a similar theory, including tbe alow rotation of the inner solid sphere on n different axis from that of tbe entire globe, fus held by Dr. Edmund Halley to necfRmt for tbe changes tn tbe earth’s magnet­ ism. The axis of the nucleus was thought to have been originally that of the entire globe, and to tbe change of its course wns attributed tbe deluge. The earth’s internal heat. It ta now pointed out. may be accounted for by the friction of the different routing bodies. Englishmen Introduced the rabbit to valuable land.

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
