Numbering fifteen, ten girls und five boys, a happier crowd could not b*faund. and after doing ample justice to the sumptuous dinner they started the m*-rryinaking by reciting the first "piece*" they ever learned, the honors clearly going to Glenn. After spending the retpaindor of th*- aftarivuin v.-ry pleasantly they parted, leav­ ing thair height mark on thd wall for future comparison, voting a blessing on Aunt Florence for bringing about the first meeting of the cousins and de­ claring that though it wo* the first It would not b* ’he liisf gathering of grandmother's grandchildren.

The libend help of our members, 1 ribbon for the best shut»cd mute. the generous aid of interested citizens, and the keen interest in this event by the poultrymen of Barry and adjoining counties, ail assure us that the coming poultry show in Hastings will be a success that will far surpass all previous exhibits in point of attendance, number of exhibitors and number and quality of birds exhibited. We have secured the services of Frahk Heck, of Chicago, the well known edi­ tor of the Successful Poultry Journal to judge this show. Mr. Heck is one of the best living authorities on poultry, and a Judge of whose integrity and fairness there can be no„question. A score card with his signature will be worth more than it will cost you to make an exhibit. To secure his services we had to engage him many months ago, and felt we were fortunate at that. He would accept on one conition only, that he should be given ample time to do his work. His aim will be to make the judging of the exhibits a mat­ of furniture can be Thought of ter of the greatest possible helpfulness to the exhibitors, and to hear Heir Hum a Kitchen Cabinet. his explanations will be worth the cost and trouble to bring one’s given to the Poultry Afowiaikm by birds to this show. All stock left in our care or shipped to us will be under the direct supervision of our Superintendent, and will be properly and carefully returned by him after the show. We extend 1 ribbon for the brM surface color; our sincere thanks to our advertisers and the donors of the fine Bnff Orpington special premiums.

LOCAL OPTION KOT YET ACTED ON BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. COMMITTEE IS CONSIDER­ ING IT. ATTY DAWSON ARGUES AGAINST VALIDITY OF PETITIONS Board Wifi Probably Take Up tlw Mailer nt Ttomorow’s St-wdun. At’ thl* writing. Wednesday fore­ noon, the board of supervisors have npt taken any definite action on the local bptlon petition*. -They have been referred to a committer consisting of Peter A. Fisher, Anson Ci Boyes, John Hynre, Alveh Bivens, nnd Alfred H. Purker. aupervlrors respectively of Johnstown, Rutland. Woodland. Ma­ ple Grove nnd Thornapple. Before thl* committee appeared .thl* morn­ ing Bobert B. Dawson, attorney- for the liquor inlerrets. who raised ob­ jection* to the consideration of the petitions. We did not hear hi* ad­ dress, but understand the points raised were largely technical. We did hear that he maintained that It was neei-SBcry that copies of the petition* be kept continuously posted for ten full days; that tiierp mu*t be no time when copies of the petition^ could not be found at the places Where originally Sled during the ten days. We do t pretend lo be lawyer* but It would •em to us as ridiculously absurd that any law should demand or expect that the copies miwt be maintained tn any such a manner. it doe* not with copies of other. pa|>er* thrt have tn be posted. • The local option movement la Born­ eo u my has becK a spontaneous move­ ment from Its Inception. There has been no pressure from any' source, and very little discussion through the. public prre*. It Is up because of a deep-seated interest In and and de­ mand for It. The mowment has been carried on In the utmost good faith by cven'body connected with it. Fully 3.200 names wen- secured on the orig­ inal xx Utlona The affidavits and .potltlon* filed with the supervisors show over 2.900 names. The board of ■ supervisors cannot bo in doubt a* to what the petitioner* want.' und we bellev|* they should not be denied on any mere legal quibble* und trohnlcalltles. The question should be sub­ mitted un|en there Ik something vital­ ly defective In the proceedings thus far. The board will probably take up the matter tomorrow.

And three wUl be surpris- d to find what ha* been accom­ plished Jn the poultry world; It will bo a real education to all such in this branch of Industry. Why should not everybody bo Interreted In a butdnrea which ylldds more than the wheat crop, and more than any other crop grown in this country outside of cot­ ton and corn? I-ast year the value of the eggs and moat produced by the American hen aggregated over >606,000.000.

Thto fa a NEWSPAPERS MUST GO ON A CASH BASIS SWEEPING ORDER OF THE UNITED STATES POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT AFFECTS EVERY PUB­ LISHER AND NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIBER IN THIS COUNTRY.. WHAT THE LAW DEMANDS AFTER APRIL i. A recent onler of'the I’. S. jxistoffice department at W ashington names April i. 1908 as the date after which no weekly newspajicr in the United States can be sent at second class rates io any sub­ scriber who owes more than oneyear on subscription. After April 1. 1908, if a pubifeber of a weekly newspaper shall continue to seqd |iis |>a}x-r 10 any sulxscriber who is more than one year in arrears, that publisher must pay jxistage at the rale of 52 cents a year f<pr such suhscrilxT. instead of at the present rate, which is free to all |H>ints within *the coun'ty where published, and which costs about 10 cents for each subscriber to points outside the county, and also 10 cents for each subscriber who liv ’ ‘ which are served by city carriers. With the adyancetl and advancing prices of print paper, ther$ is no profit in subscriptions at $1.00 a year, even at the present low. rates ot postages We could not stand it to pay 52 t enis postage on .isuh**cription't(» the BANNER. • . " We have been lenient with past due subscriptions in the paat. But this order <»f the Postofficc Department will comi>el us in the future to keep all subscriptions collected up. And we shall have to insist on the prompt payment of all back subscriptions. Our sub­ scribers will therefore please take notice.. This is the most sweeping order ever issued by the Posjoffice Department. It is made for a good purpose—io shut out of the mail* all publications which get lists in any old way. and then continue 4o send out their publications to these lists. Such publications as the Department aims to hit by this order are' not legitimate newspapers, .but pure advertising fakes, with no news .value whatever. The government does right to shut­ out such publications from second class rates. . But under this sweeping order we have no option about it. We must collect all back sfmfccripttons. On the yellow label, pasted on his BANNER every week, each subscriber will find the 'Uu'v to which he is panl. If that date is prior to 1908. please renew*jour subscrip­ tion at once to njoHx That will save-all bothe? alx>ut the matter. Below we give the exact language of the orvlrr of the I’ostofiice Department 4t is as follows: Section 436. Paragraphs 2 and 3: 2. The right of a publisher to fix .the price of his publication o^ to itnluce subscriptions by giving of premiums, prizes, or other con­ siderations. or by clubbing his pajier with other pa|x*rs, or by. com­ missions upon subscriptions obtained by agents, is not <|uestioned. but such methods will l»e carertrfty scrutinized in respect to their effect iipoii the legitimacy of the subscription list as a whole and up­ on the quCstionlof the primary tiesign of the publication. 3. A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to secure renewals, of subscriptions, but unless subscriptions are expressly renewed after the term for which they are paid, within the following periods Dailies, within three months : ’ Tri-weekliesj |>Vithin six months; Svmi-weeklieS. within nine months: Weeklies, witiiin one year; Senif-monthlies. within three months: Monthlies, within font months : Bi-monthlies, within six months; Quarterlies, within six months : they .shall not be countc<l in the legitimate list of stiliscribcr: copies mailed on account thereof shall i^ot be accepted for mailing at the second-class postage rate of one cent a pound, but may be mailed' at the transient' srcond-clxss.p.ostage rate of one cent.for each four ounces or fraction thereof prepaid by.stamps affixed. The right <»f> a publisher to extend credit for subscriptions to his publication isi not defied or questioned, but his compliance or non-compliance with this regulation will be. taken_into consideration in determining wheth­ er the publication is entitled to transmission at the second-class post­ age rates. • • TWO AUCTION SALES ARE POULTRY SHOW ADVERTISED THIS WEEK HXTKIHH WILL BRING DR.

Asphaltum was much more expensive, and In thto climate soon went to pieces. t|ir cost of a good mnyadum road slnd brh:k paving, the former costing a lit­ tle mor?. The expem**- of keeping up a macadam street. practically where was conidderable every tear. He stated that in nearly every city naw there was almost universal preference for the brick paving because it would far outlast any other, and because nf the trifling expense to maintain it. Contractor Carpenter stated that so far as he was concerned he would be glad, to bid on any kind of a street that was wanted, whether macadam or i brick or asphaltum: But in his judgI went the brick paving was the only practical street to make, as the first coat was as small or smaller than any other: It would outlast any other, and the expense for its maintalnence was much les* thali hhy other. From what we hear nf the meeting the cittern* who attended are now fully persuaded that brick makes the best street, and is the only practical material for paving such a thorough­ fare as Green Street. The two-gentle­ men rwonimended paving to a width of thirty feet Instead twepty-four feet ns proposed.' No dwMon about the jawing of Green or uny oilier str-.-t wax reached the meeting being designed for dis­ cussion Of the subject rather thnn defi­ nite action. < TURKH HERE THIUWDAY Sanferd Edwards haw rented hto farm and will therefore have nn auc­ EVENING, JANUARY 23. tion sale at the premises four ami onehulf iniles'north of the Soluiers* tnonuim-nt oh section 3».

If you must gauge the vaioe of this excellent quality quote the original correctly and say that cleanliness Is next to goodllness, meaning thereby that, where Ulla, is lacking, a clean and well kept person has an attraction and a comeliness only second to actual beauty. Never talk of “the worst coming to the worst,” an impossible occurrence, since it is already there. The worse may come to the worst, as. alas, It of­ ten does, but when the worst has come there is no more to be said. * Please do not speak of your “mutual friend.” If A Is n friend of B and C, A is not a mutual but a common friend. But, above ail, if- you would be blameless never talk of "common sense,” as though It were or could be an exceptional or rare possession of a favored few. Common sense Is the sense common to all, which long may we all enjoy. Shakespeare Versus Burns. At the close of a lecture to tbe menr bers of, a certain literary society the following dialogue between a Scotch­ man ami the lecturer was overheard: "Ye think a fine lot o’ Shakespeare, doctor?” "I do. sir,” was the emphatic reply. “An' ye think he was malr clever than Robbie Borns?” "Why, there’s no comparison be­ tween them!” “Maybe no. but ye tell us the nlcht it was Shakespeare who wrote ’Uneasy lies the' head that wears a crown.’ Now, Robbie would never have writ­ ten sic nonsense as thaL” ’’Nonsense, ata!” thundered tbe indig­ nant doctor. "Aye, just nonsense. Robbie would bae kent fine that a king, or a queen either, disna gang to bed wl tbe crown on his head. They hang it ower the back o' a chair."

[OrtainuL] . • This atoty Is not only founded on fact—It is fact, only it Is put In atory form and the names are fictitious. In tbe latter part of the last century n steamer crossing the Atlantic was lost by collision in a fog. Among the paMengers never heard from were a lady aud her little daughter. Twenty-five years passed. Ono sumf>er a “want ad.” appeared tn a news­ paper stating that a lady desired the position of,chaperon to young people on a trip to Europe. This led to the engagement of Miss Adelin Craven to take charge of two young girls, Teresa Fay and Rachel Cunningham. These three were one day visiting one of the art museums In Dresden. Miss Fay stood looking at n picture which seemed to interest her, and while she was doing so Miss Craven, the chaperon, came np. "A copy of that picture Is tn father's collection at home," said Misa Fay. "It is also familiar to me.” said Mias Craven. "It has been a part my sur­ roundings at same time in my life, but I can’t recall when qr where. I have It' I have or had an uncle who had a copy of the picture in his library.” "Why do you say 'have or bad?”’ "Because I have not heard of my uncle for years.” "Did be Idse you. or did you lose him?” . "I don’t know.. I was quite young when I last saw him." Whether there was something In the picture connecting the two or what was tlie reasod, from the time of this conversation about it there seemed to be something in the voice or the man­ ner or the walk of het chaperon that was familiar to Miss Fay. The inci­ dent led the two to chat upon family matters connected with the past, and there was n singular sameness in cer­ tain events pertaining to both families. While there was some sixteen years’ difference in the ages of the two, there -sprang up a lively friendship between them. It became evident that Instead of a friendship during tbe trip they would more likely be Intimate for life. Miss Cunningham met friends, joined them, and thia left the other two alone together. One day while traveling In a railway car a gentleman asked Miss Fay If she would object to bls raising a win­ dow. She said she would not. Then be, naked if it would be disagreeable to her mother, referring to Mire Craven. The girl smilingly explained that Miss Craven waa not her mother or any re­ lation to her. whereupon the gentle­ man apologised, saying that he had been uncertain whether they were mother and daughter or nn older and a younger sister. He certainly saw re­ semblances lietween ^hem, though he could not define them. Miss Fay had letters to people in Rome, which procured her an entree to the best Italian society there. A young man of excellent family fell in love with her and signified his wish to make her a proposition of marriage. Unfortunately there was no one on the continent of Europe of whom he could make a formal application except the chaperon, who was not authorized to give the family consent. The result was that Miss Fay wrote her father of the affair. He took the first steam­ er, traveling night and day till be reached Italy. “Whnt sort of a chaperon is this you have," he exclaimed, "to permit you to receive attention to lead to such an un­ fortunate result?" "There Is no "unfortunate result in my case, papa.” she replied, “nor in hers either.” “What do you mean "by her case?” “She’s engaged already, while I’m waiting for your consent. A member bt the Italian parliament, a widower, wants her." "A fine pair to send abroad together! Both you.and your chaj»eron receiving marriage proposals! However. I will look Into this affair of yours." While Mr.,Fay’s investigations were {lending bls daughter told him of the picture that liotli had seen In Dresden, a copy of wtylch was in both families. "There has never been but one copy of that picture made,” replied Mr. Fay. “and that was for me by special per­ mission." "That proves IL’’ replied the daugh­ ter. “I bavp known it all the while. She is a relative of oura." There followed au investigation not of a man’s family, but of Miss Cra­ ven’s. The next day Mr. Fay called upon that lady’s fiance and said to him: "I understand., sir. that you are en­ gaged to Miss Craven and she has told you she ha* no relative of whom you may make a formal application for her hand. When she told you this she was mistaken.” The gentleman appeared much Inter­ ested. Mr. Fay procei-dcd: "Many years ago a ship waa lost at sea by colltalon with another vessel in a fog. My sister and her little girl were passengers on- tbe lost vessel I never had heard a wort! of the moth­ er or of tty daughter till yesterday. By n rcprttrtnOT-.1 chain of coincidences REAL ESTATE Is My Business I Have No Other Business Results In the past demonstrate I know how to do the business, and that my plan is a proven success. A dependable Real Estate firm conducting their business on the “Square Deal” plan of great value to the property owners of any community. It furnishes a ready market to those who wish to sell, and a place for tbe buyer to find what he wishes to purchase, saving time, trouble and expense. That the property owners of Barry County have appreciated this fact is shown by .the hearty support and cooperation I have received from thetp since 1 began business here a little over two years ago and I assure you it has been fully ap­ preciated. I therefore extend to you my hearty thanks and J shall endeavor to merit your cooperation in the future as in the past. There ii a great demand for an organized system for handling Real Estate that will secure its full value which can only be accomplished by finding the purchaser who has actual need of the pro­ perty. Any property is worth ita fair value- no more no lees. Real estate vaiuee cannot be meas­ ured any other way, And a property can be sold at the highest figure to the party only to whom it is most useful. I There is jnst where the Real Estate agency comes in, where ft is to your advantage to have them sell your property. They are In a position to find the buyer to whom your property la moat useful, and right now is tbe time to list ysur property if you Uish to sell this year, DO IT NOW as we have today the names of several hundred prospective buyers on oar books, whom we are in correspondence with that will purchase farm property somewhere in the near foture, and if your farm was on our list tbe description might just suit some one of them. I spare no paius or expense in giving Barry County Real Estate wide publicity, not only adver­ tising in our home papers but agricultural papers of >arge circulation all over .the country also send­ ing enquirers our printed descriptions of property listed with us and literature we have to interest them in our County. I am now puplishlng at a cost of several hundred dollars an illustrated booklet "Facts About Barry’Councy" containing 28 pages and cover, showing Farm scenes, Factories. Elevators, Banks* County, School and City buildings, also Summer resorts, Hunting and Fishing Scenes, and giving a splendid description of the resources of our County in general, which I will mail ail over the,country. Don’t you think that will benefit every property owner io Barry County? Don’t you believe I have merited.your cooperation? Don’t you think I am entitled to your patronage? I shall leave it for you to decide without apprehension as to the verdict. Every property owner in Barry County ought to possess one of my Booklets "Facts About Barry County.” 1 will mail you one for fifteen o^nts, stamps or coin, which barely covers the cost C. B. BENHAM.

Tale Hall', V»U'ur< That’s My Business There was once a brilliant salesman who was trying to sell a cash register to a large concern. The manager declared stoutly, that since no mistakes were ever made by his clerks, they had no need for the machine. So the salesman quietly collected from the clerks a number of rubber-tipped pencils, every one of which showed the rubber end badly worn. Addressing the clerks, in the presence of the manager, the salesman asked: ‘How did all these rubbers get worn so badly!" "Why, by erasing mistakes, of course,” replied the clerk. The salesman made the Sale. ■ Every property owner is making a great mistake when he does not list his property with a hustling, advertising up-to-date real estate agency when he wishes to sell his Fann or Home.

The First Strictly American Colony in Cuba La Gloria Is the name that was giv­ en to the first colony established In Cuba after American occupancy; and, after seven years' test, has three thou* ■and American landowners and one thousand residents. It is on the north ■Ide of Cuba, a short nil from Neuvltas (terminal port for one New York line) to Port Vlaro, thence a four-tnlle drive Inland, and iip a slight grade on tn a rich, luxuriods hillside. To the man of means, the type of Harper's Weekly readers. La Gloria is the best sort of an investment that any popular colony can be. with a town a mile square—the center of thousands of acres of the choicest plantation land—where tbfy have done things and are doing them. There are men of means who foresee what cer­ tain spots are inevitably bound to be­ come. But that cannot be discerned studying a map. The place must be visited, just as La Gloria must be vis­ ited to see what it Is today, to form an idea what It grew from tn seven years, and to observe the possibilities that are dlstlnctlj forecast for its future Without* going Into fancy p<ytralture, I.n Gloria Is the superlative growing-ground for oranges and pine­ apples. 'Hte residents may. probably will, dabble more or less hi other vege­ tation of commercial value, but there oranges and pineapples do the|r best la. profitallh* plenitude.

Cow owners and separator users everywhere cannot say enough in praise of the new De Laial Even competitors are admitting its vastly increased superiority and marveliBg at its many conveniences, perfect skimming qualities, ease of running, great simplicity, durability and beauty of design. The New De Laval is leu years in advance of any other separator made to­ day. Nothing like it ba* ever been produced before and to have done so now is only possibie'after three years of constant experimenting by the world’s best eusiueers aud mechanical experts backed up by our 30 years of experience in the manufacture and sale of nearly a million Fepurators. Improvements have been made In every feature and several brand new styles and capacities introduced. There Is a machine for every size dairy from the smallest to the largest and at % price that will fit every pocket, while you may buy for cash or on teftos so liberal that that the machine will actually pay for itself. If you own one or more cows you can make no more profitable insrttment than to purchase a De Laval machine st once.

To create a taste and desire for the best In music, the best should be heard as often as possible. The ideal music should be presented by man. but in 'a community of this size.

Jake DePriester is thoroughly con­ vinced of the efficiency of the BAN­ NER'S method of advertising < auc­ tion sales. His advertisement qppoared .oa Wednesday of lost week, and hls sale took place on Friday. The BANNER is printed Wedncinlay after­ noon. und is not given general circu­ lation until Thursday. So Mr. DePrieater had the benefit ,o( only one day's circulation—but he thought that was sufficient. So large a crowd was present from various townships that he had to pro­ vide more refreshments than he had supplied. When the returns were all in Jake found that hls sale amounted to more than 3100 above what he had hoped or expected. It was "like find­ ing money."

But if we can furnish you 'with a flonr is as THE BEST; a flour that has its own way into homes of Barry on its own then we justified saying that you ought to at least give it fslr trial. That s a brief history of Purity Flour It is made from selected grains blended in a scientific way that years of ex­ perience have taught us to be THE BEST. The result is a flour that is just as near perfect as any flour that's on the market. It has given the highest satisfac­ tion and hundreds of the best cooks in Barry County wiU use no other. Ask your neighbors who use PURITY FLOUR how they like it. Better still, order a sack or two of it and give it a fair honest trial’ We feel justified in asking this, as you ought to be interested in building up a home industry that will give you a flour that’s fully equal to the best , CADUrDC especially should remember that we were tlje originators of giving t AtlnlCllu 40 pounds of flour for a bushel of wheat Hastings Milling Company Hastings, Mich. f'll �MeattnEconon-.y |j* (UrodllandDepartment Spread MIDDLEVILLE jud Cook ... m Of""-1 B*p' “V’i’SX~ ta Qr*2"1 Bakmg Powder —muffins, biscuit, buckwheat cakes or waffles. ‘;^nt Sunday with Sunday.

Barton. "I can say that I look upon Christian Science, as I understand it. us thr most Ideally beuuttful yet the most practical and comforting of beliefs. It is doing more in the world today, and will con­ tinue to as more pl-opie become cogni­ zant <>f the beauty of it* teachings, than any other one influence for good. Mry. Eddy should have the respect, admiration, and love of the whole Na­ tion. for she is its greatest- woman. Her teachings spread love pnd good will among men. and a Christian Scientist cannot be a Christian Scientist unlera he has ellmlnat-d greed and selfishness from hls nature." Asked If she had read Science and Health. Miss Barton said~tbat she had, and was much comfofted by fix teach­ ings "Loye/’ she said, "permeates all the teachings of this great woman.— Spectlve we can scarcely realize how great.—and looking Into ber life his­ tory we see nothing but Mlf-'Mcrifice tried to bring her personality before thr public. She has, on the other hand. Isolated'herself from the world, and her only motive In doing no. I firmly believe, has been In order to let her teachings, instead of henwlf,' reach the people. She has never exploited herself, but so * profoundly has she been Interested In bringing a great joyous, healing nnd comforting relig­ ion to a people that she made directly for that object, regard!*-^ of what criticism came to her in «o doing. How beautifully she has managed her own unfortunate trials! Without mal­ ice, always with a kindness and charity that Is almost beyond human compre­ hension. has this woman fought an­ tagonism, and that only, with love. And 1 say no one familiar with her, life and her teachings can help but see the marvelous consistency and ■beauty of what she has given to the world In Christian Science. The Chris­ tian Scientist* I have met all impress me with that same spirit of «mM>lfi*hness that is characteristic of Mrs. Eddy. 'They are un intelligent, think­ ing people, and.they impress me that their belief comes after careful und scientific investigation and conviction, rather than from hysterical evange­ lism.” ( ' ' "Most troubles are exaggerated by the mental attitude, if not entirely caused by them." continued Miss Bar­ ton.

The first census of the -place Utter It donned city garb was taken in 1900.

It would be difficult to tell.

The costs all go into the general fund of the county. . Mr. fcjackey Illustrates his argument nr non-enforcement of the law by“cltof CapL E E- Napier of South Haven. Mr. Napier was the most persistent violator of the law that the court records dtoclore. He w’os arrested seven timet and convicted six times, the Prosecuting Attorney letting up on the seventh offpnse be­ cause he thought Mr. Ngpier had had enough and he hud. for he quit bis illegal business. It would seem as though bi his case the Mtw was pretty effectively enforced. ’ Mr. Mackey complains of the bond­ ed indebtedness of hto city and says it. amounts to th’e sum of $173,576.87; that the city to broke and can neither borrow nor pay its past due debts. Well,! R would take a lot of saloorfs with all their attendant blessings of drunkards, drunkard’s wives and ruined homes to relieve the city of thto financial*burden. South Haven has a progressive citizenship and, like some othyr towns tn the county, has incur­ red; a large liability for modern public improvements and as a result local taxation Is high. And then the people of the county are paying for a- $120,­ .0001 fourt house of which dum the township of Paw Paw assumed $50,­ 000. Tuxes are also high In this latter place, but It Is local taxation for. local improve ments voted ‘by the people, and notion account of-the absence of the! wide-open ratoon with its attend­ ant! blessings. The qlergym'en." says Mr. Mackey', and !ladi**s naturally uphold the local option law." of course they do.'and why shouldn’t ffhey"? ‘Clergymen are extox’icd to be in favor of civic righteoutares nnd the ladies are ever the greatest sufferera from the evils of the liquor traffic. To be a drunkard's wlfk a drunkard's mother, or even * druiikanl’s daughter or sister is u terrlbk« fate for any woman, so why shouldn't they be opposed to the saloonj and in favor of any measure that lent** .to Its obliteration?. But they urel.lnol the only people hu opposed, “Igtomlnkiu* falturcK** in attempting to mve the law abrogated.

Tlie greatest fear-of the Ani'-rlwtn sod' tillers, exhaustion nnd unproduct­ iveness of land, is rapidly bcltig’dlspblled by the Bureau of Soils at Wash­ ington. This branch of the Depart* nient.of Agriculture has received llttladvertising': it does Ha work quietly and the cities’hear little of it, but to the great and small farming districts, to the hesitating planter nnd to the dependent settier it is a great booh and dally counselor. It has shown t|>e .way lo scientific: farming; it has made brier patches into grassy fer­ tile plains, s-.vamiw into blooming c<>rn!leids. sandy prairies Into, acres of:.production. .In short, u man can le;irn In t»n hour fr*»m the Bureau of Soils what his father spent years in ascertaining, and he ean learn It with greater accuracy. From a map or a rej>oft he can sec what crop his land will best produce, tvliat it will not yitid. nnd, perhaps., that it will bring him undreamed of produce and wealth. The Bureau of Soils has made many farmers rich, and the number that make use of the bureau is increasing daily. . According t<> a Washington corres­ pondent of the New York Tribune, the authorities of the bureau, under the direction of Prof. Milton Whitney have asked for $500,000 for the fiscal year 1009. and they have oome assarnnce thnt this amount will be approp­ riated by Congress. XVhat will 1)® ac­ complished with the $500,000, If It is granted, can best be gauged by u consideratlofl-of What has been done with the I’lfld,000'spent in 1907. In the main the Bureau of 9<ills de­ votes a large portion of Its attention to suiwiVing, mapping ami classifying the lands of the United States .and determining the .constituents of noil In such a precise manner thnt a farm­ er wishing to plant a certain crop can determine in advance the advisability of such a course by n moment’s ref­ erence to tbe report of the bureau. Irrigation and its ftuccws must be largely credited to this department. Reclamation owes its Inception' to the bureau: fertilization and erosion are studied in their most technical phases and reported In simple language, while the transplanting of seed and the adaptability ot soil complete the mafn uses of the bureau. The maps Issued are used not only by farmers and agriculturists, but by land-owners of all classes. Including real estate nnd railroad men. From every part of the country come re­ quests asking that particular portions of land be surveyed- thoumnds of maps and reports an- asked for, and many letters of appreciation ~*P*1 thanks are on^flle *at the bureau. Th ehart every necessarj portion of land in the country is the ultimate alm. but ut present the bureau is ten yeare be­ hind, wen ia those regions wh#t a survey will mean a e.ru<» ud :m- When did they lie to you? La^t year? or are they lying to you now year they sent out their circulars broadcast over the country iieadjd: “A Series of Talks to Farmers Iu these they ssiid: -We own our mines, we mine our own ore, we manufacture our own iron, we own our timber lands, we cut our own logs, we saw, and manufacture our own lumber in our own mills, and $or THIS reason we can make machines cheaper than anyone who has to biiy their own material. Bui this year you hear nothing about mines or timber lands, but they tell us that lumber and iron have advanced from 15 to 25 per cent, and therefore the price of machines must be from 10 to 25 dollars higher than last year. Now one or the other of these statements is false, which one! For if they owned the iron and the himher and could make and sell a machine cheap last year, as they said they could, they can do the same thing this year, for they still own the mines and the timber. And it costa no more to produce it than it did last year. The farmer shonkl take time from hie daily round of lal>or to get acquainted with his family and to do a little of his own thinking. It will be dollars in his pocket at tbe end of the year. Now I don’t know whether the Johnston Harvester Co. own any iron mines or timber lande, but I do know they make as good a Binder or Mowing machine as goes on the market to-day, and are in just as good position to take care of their patrons on repair® a« is any of tbe Trust machines. And their machines can be bought for less money than the Trust is Belling for. and on just as good terms, and as I don’t canvas 1 should be glad to have any­ one who is thinking of getting a machine this season call at my store and if I can’t convince him that the Trust is wroug, and that the farmer who buys a Trust machine is also wrong, then I won’t even ask him to buy a Johnston machine.

Van Buren county, he says, is not growing any crop of young drunks to take the places ot. the old ones who are dying off. .Mr. Woodman .said from what, he could see and hear In Barry county he was satisfied tha< there would be a strong public .MentidlFnt to enforce the Jaw if th, people voted for it, but that the people should not- vote for It unless they intended to keep it up for a series of years. He said that there would be times of discour-, agement hare ns there were in Van Buren but that the longer local option was retained, the easier it would be t6 enforce. In the flryt two years local op­ tion was not a success in Van Buren county. Druggists were selling all kinds of liquor. Finally the circuit judge discovered one phase of the । local option law which read that all sales by druggists "must be made in good faith.” Tlie judge ‘held that selling a pint or quart of whiskey every three ^r four days was not sell­ ing "In good faith." so”the druggist doing Lhis kind of business were pulled, lined J 300 for the first offense ■and notified that a repetition would mean 'Imprisonment together with a heavy fine. As a result this whole­ sale selling of liquors stopped quickly. Paw Paw, near which ptace Mr. Woodman resided, is a place of about 2.000 people, it has four drug stores but only two of them sell liquor, the other two not taking any government, license. Mr. Woodman says that he Is very positive that the two stores that do sell liquo&Uveojp to the law. Tlie, officers are on the ah?rt and are watching for any chance to arrest Every year In Van Buren county seen the Lines drawn closer and closer .and the taw easier and easier’of enforce­ ment. It will be the same In Barry county. The people In Van Buren county have voted to sustain the local option taw several times and all in­ terests are Ih favor of sustaining itMr. Woodman plainly stated that where public s-ntiment was back of the law that it could be enforced. One of the principal things to b.- consid­ ered 'by friends of iocal option is to elect a sheriff and prosecuting attor­ ney who were in favor of taw enforce­ ment and who were not at all back­ ward about enforcing It. He said that In Van Bun n county if the republi­ cans nominated a man for either office whose sympathies Were known to be in favor of the liquor element, and the democrats nominated a man known to favor local option enforcement, that the republicans would largely turn In and help to defeat the republican nominee and vice versa tn other words local option ta not a political question, but the majority of people In all parties favor enforcement of the liquor laws. In conclusion Mr. Woodman stated his pleasure that Van Buren county was te receive help In the way of do-, ing away with the liquor -tra^cFourteen counties will vote on the question April «th and doubtless eight or ten of them will vote to do a*a> with the saloonrf. Within the two or three yean, other counties will donblle-uvote the same way. A great temperance wave Is sweeping over the country which must eventually mean state wide prohibition.

Overfed and pam­ pered fowls | are disappointing as breeders, and I their eggs are apt to be infertile, or If they do hatch the chicks are almost certain to be weak and puny, lacking constitutional vigor. It should be borne In mind that there are other objects in feeding besides the 'On.’ of stimulating the t-gg organa, and there are several kinds of feed that -meel these re­ quirements fnlly. Gcherally.for egg production a ration of clean wheat has been found best: for muscle form­ ing. barley and oats; and corn \for .heating and fattening purposes. To the foregoing, vegetables should be ndded to I aid digestion, together with animull feed of some sort. Though often! advised, it can be again repeated.’ that a portion of. the vege­ table ration should be green, nnd cut raw bone fed. If possible.

N. J. WANT ADVR.—1 CENT’A WORD.' thia year you hear nothing about mines or timber lands, but they tel I us that lumber and iron have advanced from 15 to 25 per cent, and therefore'th > price of machines must be from 10 to 25 dollars higher than last year. Now one ov the other of these statements ia false, which one ? For if they owned the iron auc the luml>er and could make and sell a machine cheap laat year, as they said tiiey could, they can do the name thing this year, for they still own the mines and the timber. And it costs no more to produce it than it did last year. The fanner should taka time from hie daily round of lalnr to get acquaint­ ed wjth his family and to do a little of bis own thinking. It will be dollars in his pocket at the end of the year. Now I don’t know whether the Johnston Harvester Co. own any iron mines or timber lands, but I do know they make as good a Binder or Mowing machine as goes on the market to-day, and gre it^just aa good position to-take cate of their patrons on repairs as is any of the Trust machines. And their machines can be bought for less money than the Trust is selling for, and on just as good terms, and aa I don’t canvas I should be glad to have any­ one who is thinking of getting a machine this season call at my stoile and if I can’t convince him that the Trust is wrong, and that the farmer who buys a Trust machine is also wrong, then I won’t even ask him to buy a Johnston machine.

Get out your note boqk again. Take his name for future reierence. I-ook him over care­ fully. That man’s soul, that makes such an argument is dwarfed to such’ jpjjiute proportions that there ta not enough of him to be worth consider­ ing. He's too narrow and small to bother with. . A Nebraska farmer was asked what the farmers Would do with their corn If they stopped the sale of whiskey. His answer was: "We will raise more hogs and less hell." Some say that no town will prosper without the saloon. It Is 'false. Saloons thrive on the pros­ perity of the community. Look at the lumbering towns and mining towns of this state When the towns censed to prosper the saloon had to move out. ' Did any one ever hear of a sa­ loon locating a town site and opera­ ting a xMloon before there wax any other business conducted there” I guess not. a There ta no roasonabhr argument in favor of the saloon aira especially by -a man who has a family. How can he subject Ills children to the snares and temptations that surround the saloon? Every drunkard’s wife, mother, stater and friend in Burry county is pleading for relief from the saloon. Every citizen who respects himself should lend hta ahi tn putting the saloon out of business. Now Mr. Editor If you care, tn you may Insert in the columns of the BANNER.

There’s a Paint WANTS to anything useful you want to About FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR that perhaps even its most ardent advocates had never thought of, and yet It is a very Important one. Had you ever thought of the fact that every sack of French’s White Lily is made in a mill that runs nigh: and day and that is operat­ ed by WATER BOWER. “What figure done that count," do you ask? Just thia. Steam power varies according to the pounds of pressure. Thia MUST and DOES affect the product where the power is so variable. On the other hand, water always famishes tbe same eves, never-varying power. That’s one reason that accounts for the SMOOTH ALWAYS-T^ESAME QUALITY OF FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. That's why all the good cooks want it and are satisfied with no other. EVERY SACK MEANS A SATISFIED CUSTOMER. Middleville Roller Mills flichigan Middleville. R T. FRENCH, Prop.

What Judge Smith-said that vitally touches the local option issue was this; First:—1 have not the least doubt but that the local option law If adopted, can be enforced in Barry county. If the sentiment of the county is In favor .of ita enforcement, and the sheriff and his deputies und the prosecuting attorney of the county do their duty. Second—If adored Iby the voters of Barry county, the local option law would thereby become a state law ap­ plicable to this county.

With liquor sold under such conditions the temptations t» young men are mlnlnilxed. whereks with the OPEN HALOON they are ever pres­ ent. and strong. Illegal sales of liq­ uor will doubtless be made uhder local option,'! hut very cautiously, and the element of temptation to young men will be practically wiped out.

James td Shirley Sheward PRESIDENTIAL YEAR. 80 a. see 2, Baltimore. 81400. u h ll Proverbially, the year of a national election is a check upon many of the activities of the people. Yet this tact is due rather to mental than material muses, and is allowed more weight than it Is entitled to. A vague dread of radical changes in government pol­ icies postpones many new enterprises and prompts caution In currant trans­ actions. In many of tije things that go to make up business conditions a presidential contest has no actual ef­ fect whatever. It is not responsible for thb weather, nor the crops, nor the world's tide of commercernor the progress of invention, nor the out­ break of wars. The vital question, therefore, H how far the disposition to take in sail Is warranted by the risks ahead, considered without refercnet to whBt is merely Imaginary. In the next four years there can be no complete Democratic control Jat Wash­ ington. The Senate,; In any case, will have a Republican majority until at least 1912.1 This much is certain. So the fear of^ an overwhelming j>olltlcal overturn at; one biowils baseless. The moat that qould be done by a sweep­ ing D-moczatlc victory In November next would be to halt legislation for a Jong time, except In matters on which both parties could agree. Another pflnt of importance to keep in mind is that the Republican party will continue to control all depart­ ments of the government for'four months ufteii the flection of the next president uad house. The present Cbngrcss and executive would be at the head of affairs until the Inaugura' tlon day arrived. Between the first Monday In December and March 4 a Congre.Hs largely Republican In both branches could put matters in shape for the impending situation. Pre­ vailing Republican policies can not be altered without Republican consent until the' oppesltion obtain* full c-.»ntrol, and there Is little prospect that 11 will gei any control in thia year's election. In sll probability the next House and president will be Repub­ lican. and ‘ the party now dominant will retain complete power to act, as for ten' years past. It can not be en­ tirely displaced, nor can the laws lx has passed be modified during the next four years without its concur­ rence. Nothing startlingly radical can happen at Washington. Business men .can b- easy on this point, which rests on" certain ties to a greater extent than the timid suppose., But there has been a financial flurry, some will say. This H admitted, though the causes are still somcjvhat obaeure. One reason was a shortage of currency in a sudden emergency. Cungre-M' Is dealing with this matter, and It Is not conceivable that the ma­ jority win fall to pass a measure of relk-f. The flurry has been attended with remarkable facts. Over a billion in gold Is held tfy the treasury, the largest total ever collected lu one . i ! a - fl Bl * A Piano in str. rose’s hall commanded THE CLOSEST ATTENTION OF ALL PRESENT.

Brick pavements are not expensive when wen constructed and maintain­ ed. considering their life, compared with other - kinds, and the cost of maintenance and repairs. They need no more care In residence or business districts thsn any ither pavement would in the samel district. They should be kept clean, just the same as the floors of residences and offices should be kept clean, py sweeping and removing the dirt which collects, not by wetting it down in^o a sticky mess, gradually increasing juntll a heavy, down-pouring rain comes to clean up. The writer of the Article evidently favors McAdam for residence streets, and refers to several [cities for illus­ tration of their fine-qhalltle*. McAd­ am is an. improvement upon a dhrt or gravel road. It Is non a pavement; It requires constant cur4. and attention in keeping Its surfacd clean, smooth, nnd In good form, or It soon gets as bad or worse Dian u dirt road. It wtears away rapidly, •, forming dust which if not removed often, becomes a pasty mass by sprinkling or from showers, and this miss acts as an abrasive under the wheels to cut the surface deeper, and re* soon as this dries out a little the dust is unbear­ able. And since' the I advent of the automobile It Is found that the suc­ tion from the tires l<4»sotu* and_rapidly disintegrates thq surface.

Ernest McCullough, author of "En­ gineering for Towns’und Small Cities,** (which by the way is one of the best and must Instructive little books for city officials that I know of) ‘says: *’Jt is an axiom in street paving as In most other work.. that the material lowest in first cost, is generally high­ est in cost of maintenance, therefore, get (the best pavement you can afford." givtj the experience of other cities.” “Ko street will* last forever without some kort of maintenance *uhd sys­ tem for repairing, constant attention Is required.” • "Points to be taken li|to considera­ tion when selcctlqg pavements are; Aptyarance, ease of traction, cleanli­ ness, healthfulhess, noitte und cost. The {Ideal pavement is durable. no ta­ les*'. cleanly, healthful. rosy to travel on and cheap. The Idqul pavement has hot yet been found.": "Many people advocate gravel be­ cause It. costs little at lirst, and be­ cause It will "let water through.* This, after a Century of education in road making.** "The only way to use gravel is to pat It through a rock crusher und then make it Into McAdam of the best kind.** "McAdam is a good thing to begin improvements with, but jno town or city hhotild accept a McAdam street to keep it In repair. A direct should not Be accepted until It bi paved: und McAdam Is not u pavement. Dust is the nuisance on McAdam roads, so it is customary tu sprinkle them." . ••McAdam Is a present fgvorlte with the majority 6f people. It is doomed, however,.and in-lts present form will disappear, probably withlnjthe present generation, except In ouwof-the-way place* The reason tor this Is the rapid incroase in the numtier of auto­ mobiles. and the high spend at which they usually'run. The auction of the rubber tires on gravel and McAdam roads imakes them go to pieces rap­ idly.” From "Rodda and Pavements In Franco:**' "Thl improvement of our roads canfltrt! be too carefully and thorough­ ly studied.

Due credit, too, should be given to a majority of our local pa­ pers which flatly refuse to open their advertising columns to the miserable stuff with which the saloon interests ure flooding the county. If voters will think just a little, this rubbish should do more good than harm. Of course, occaslonaib* there may bejan Item that needs explanation. For instance, we are Informed that-under local option t^e county taxes of VAn Buren county jumped from 32€,972 In 1889 to 360.­ 000 in 1905. Of course, nothing I* said about that new court house the' building of which explains th«- whole thing. The reader is expected to Infer that the local option la,w caused the whole of It. A cause ttyst must be bolstered up by such methiods must be in n bad way surely. . Most of this stuff, however. Is so absurd .and con­ tradictory that It curries It* own re­ futation with IL We arc Informed that in those counties where loeul op­ tion has been tried whiskey simply fill* the gutters.. One can go out almost anywhere and dip up a swill-pail full. Yet the towns arc all dead, grass growing In the streets, because thirsty farmers art- going 15. 20. br 25 miles Into other counties? to trade! Really it seems incredible that any man of moderate intelligence should be mis­ led by such rot. To my mind, there Is jeally only one source of danger. Then*, may be some* whq will vote "Nob °n this proposition because they fehr the law will not lx* enforced. Let all those stop nnd reflect that the growth of public sentiment- during th* past few re»c* has been simply wonderful. The I fnct that a county may not have en­ forced the law five or ten years ago. by no means renders It certain or even probable th'At such would be the case now. Of course every one.se.es now that the law regulating sales by drug­ gists needs amending, and I that can easily bs done. I believe druggists themselves would welcome such an amendment. As R rule the-druggists of thls*county ure honorable .men. und I believe would endeaver th strictly obey the law. It will be enforced In this county-and don’t you forget jt. Very Respectfully. ENOCH ANDRUS. THE MISSES SHULTZ WILL Sale? • On our ;poultr>- pag- "HIJbe found the advertisement of M. ■ Hicks, tbe ■ Feed Man. of thto city. tlacs eggs for hatching. Mr. Hicks 1* one of the most sueccwful and enthus­ iastic poultry* men In Barry county, und devotes as much of hl* Interest and time to growing the best of poul­ try as he-dan possibly spare from h» business.

New •York, settling In Canada, then a new and wilderness country^ infested with wolves, wild cats, deer and Indians, Not far away was. the Indian reserva­ tion. The Genessce river furnished abundant trout fishing; and as the Hamptons ware located near its banks, young William had ample opportunity to indulge hts passion for capturing the speckled beauties. Winters there was school In tho log school house. Summem there wax. plenty of bard work on the farm. ’ But jyhen the rainy days came, they Were not Bays of sorrow to the boy: then it was that he. hooked the trout from the Genessee. Small game wax also plentiful, and there was good sport with the gun. At the age of 16 William Hampton came to Michigan with bls uncle, Samuel Willison, and-Jane 28. 1.837 they reached the shanty of Ambrose Mills, who-was then the lupervisor of what is now Orangeville, Prairieville.

In thelSOO miles journey they did not cross n single railroad but passed through manv. places now Important railroad cities. When they settled on the land which Samuel Willison took up Crum the government, they found that Ambrose Mills was their nearest nttgbbor. nnd he was throe miles away. -After living in Michigan until De­ cember 10. 1888, Mr. Hampton started with his brother Joseph,, who had come up from Illinois to aocompany th, latter to hl. old Fork mu ho™. Tho Uko beln< etorad for tbe —Inter they made tbe Journey by eu<e an, on foot. Mr. Hampton arrived home church Colton. She was born at Sundersfield. Massachus­ etts.

Are You In Favor of ^60398 The farmers of this community know that before the present management assumed control of the Hastings'Roller Mill they were NOT GETTING 40 POUNDS OF FLOUR FOR EVERY BU8HELOF WHEAT. We inaugu­ rated that policy and others have since followed our lead. Our policy HAS MADE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU GET MORE FOR YOUR WHEAT. THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE HELPED YOU Now we want to introduce PURITY FLOUR in every home in this county. We know the flour is all right and that it is fully the equal of any flour on the market A great many are now using it and will have no other. It is always made just the same; it goes through exactlythe same process. That’s why PURITY FLOUR never varies in QUALITY. Now we ask that you give it a good, fair, honest trial. We are not fear­ ful as to what the result will be. All we ask is' for you to GIVE IT A FAIR TRIAL. That’s not asking a(great deal in return for what -we have ' done for you. ■ THAT’S HOW YOU CAN HELP US We believe in helping those who help ub. DO YOU? Hastings Milling Company Hastings, Mich. C. A.

That is taking Into consideration that the fam­ ily is not of the over extravagant kind, and can live within a reusonabh* limit. The reason there are so manv un­ successful ut tempts m the poultry business is that people wh<» tmve been failures in Bf<- at other pursuits, tlnally take up poultry keeping or farming.

To the novice who desires to embark tn the poultry business, .1 brief out­ line of th*- surest plan to work on will not eomr amiss. First of all do not plutige. A plunger rarely succe«*d» unless he hai had much experience. The better way Is to handle a few It is not enough in the present age for a dealer to say be has the best plow or the best harrow, or the best wagon, or the best fence, or the best stove, but be must be able to point out to the costomer why the goods he is showing is the best, and to give a reason why the purchaser should buy the kind of goods be is showing. If he cannot do this, the matter of haying they are the beet should not carry much weight, so when I tell you I have the best • UAUXAilt” range or the best steel plow, or the best wire fence ask me to tell you why. and to show you where. That’s my business, that’s what I am here for, and that is what I am able to do.

Tlie most momentous issue ever before the people of Barry county la the local option question, which will br derided by tijc voters of this county next Monday. Thr Insuc does not Involve the rau-rlflce of tho right to drink; local option Is mot an attempt to regulate the appetite of any man. It docs propose that liquor saloons must not exist la Barry county, anti that the traffic in alcoholic beverages—haying, selling, giving uway—must cease within its borders. It does this because the liquor saloon Is a menace to society.-the enemy of the home, ll»c for of the social good. Instead of being a legitimate place to supply a legitimate appetite, the saloon’has la-come an organized temptation to build up aud^nervase a craving appetite for strong fa-ink.

W \t tiir suggestion of those who are promoting the local option nauae, and w(l*o aware ua that our views will be of public interest, the undersigned, representing every manufacturing institution in the county which employs men hi any considerable numbers, and representing also the active managment of the factories with which we are connected, hereby record oar sentiments with reference to local option. 1. For lire good of the communities where the institutions we represent arc located, for the good of Barry county and believing fully that local option will promote the beat interests of Ute. communities and county, shall vote for and loyally support the local option taw. 2. We shall support this law Ix-raiaM* we believe Its adoption will work the great advantage of the Institutions we rrprex’nt by largely removing 1 to the temptation nf the open saloon from such of onr employees an ore inclined eon- i to ovcrindulgencc in stimulants. We are veyy anxious that each employee take his pay check home to Iris family. We prefcr% sober employees, both on (heir account and our own. 3..From what we know of manufacturer^ aud manufacturing, we are confident tliat any community that shuts out the saloon iuus better pros­ pects of securing new factories and more manufacturing Hmui the conimunity that lias the adooitt. Onr of the greatest drawbacks to manufacturing is having a factory’s work interfered with mid sometimes, badly interrupted by tlie temptations (o drink, which a saloon town affords for factory em­ ployees. I. The good of the employees as well as the employer will in our judg­ ment be promoted by banishing saloous from Burry county. Some of the saddest Incidents that have come to onr notice hfcve bwn connected with the families of, some of our men who went directly t<fc the salooc with their pay checks and the consequence was very little if onyiblng was left for the family, and whone wives and cldldren have been made to suffer keenly be­ cause ti»e breadwinner voukl not suwessfully battle Mgulnati the temptation* of tlic saloon. , 5. It cannot liavc escaped the notice of the people of Barry county that tl»c large business Interests of the country are drawing the lines closer and closer against the drink cvlL even to the extent of discharging employees who frequent saloons. The reason Is of course that drinking intoxicants unfits a man for accurate work, and tends to destroy his sense of respomdblHty. ■ j Ixni brmigtit out this neck by tm. taw-breaking timi goes with It, and ‘ I------| tliM u ll|ipesslh|c |o Cke B cases- tata-.TO-. ngalust salts mists; George McWha and Hrncst Hecox comply with the taw unless you sta­ of Nashville were nrrcstctl Montlay tion an ^Oicerrtu the front door, an। charged with .selling liquor tn “Stub” Darrow, a local character, iu the liable watch the bar.

Why. what do yon mean?’, “Hl, menu, tna’nm, that If you broke i my ’end hevery time III broke a cup or a saucer Hi’d mind myself better.” One day poor Ellen fell her full length on the kitchen floor with a gal­ lon pan of milk iu her hands.

TO THE VOTERS OF BARRY TOWNSHIP The time baa arrived when something definite must be done in regard to permanently fixing the causeway east of'Delten. Realizing not only the un­ satisfactory condition of the present road for the amount of travtd over it. but also the fact that maintaining the road under t!u- present plan is an unending expense from year to .year and also that there is a big chance for as expensive.damage suit should a horse or so:n«* person be injured while crook­ ing, the Highway Commissioner and township board have-taken the necessary preliminary steps toward a solution of,this problem. Last September. Mr. Rogers, deputy state highway commissioner took careful sounding* every fifty feet the whole length of the prewttt bridge the full report of.hls work and hls recommendations are given below. The township board .have voted to bring this proposition before the voters at the spring election. The proposition is to raise >1,000 a year for five years for filling this bog and thereby making a permanent road. The proposition will be voted on by ballot and the tickets will read “For the tax?* and “Against tho tax." Think this matter over carefully and we believe you will come to the conclusion that something definite must be done with this causeway and that now ts the time to do it. . . j The following I* the text of Mr. Rogers’ letter: file marsh if possible, and draw in on September 19. 1907. the present bridge tilling Che sides Mr. Wm.

The law provides for two highway taxes—the road repair tax. assessed on all property In the township out­ side the incorporated villages, which tax shall not eiceed 50- cents oh each one hundred dollars valuation; an­ other tax of equal account, known us the highway improvement tax. assess­ ed on ail property in the township, in­ cluding that in villages.

Homer Marshall lit the supervisor, get­ ting 130 majority and this wfll be his second term. HI* first was very cred­ itable to him and to his township. Carlton—In this township the Re­ publicans elected their candidate for town Clerk by one majority. There is a tie between Fr«-d Fleming, Re­ publican. and John Wickham.

Hustings Township—In this town­ ship the results are somewhat mixed, the Democrats electing clerk by 1 ma­ jority and highway commissioner by 34 Arthur Crook is returned as *up-ervteoT . by a nice majority and th* Rapubilcans elect all the ticket «x-. cept a* above.

The most Important and beneficial change I* that this new law doe* away entirely with “Working the roads" In payment of road taxes. All highway taxes must hereafter be paid in ■money. The highway commlsttioner can employ labor tjnd will of course employ such farmer* along the line of the road a* can give their tlme-Ao the work when 1t I* needed, but the law very wisely provide* that here­ after ho work except a few repair* can be done after September 1, of each ywar The amount of taxes to be raised in each township each year are voted by the elcLctnrs nt the annual meeting, but If they'neglect or refuse to do thl*. it then becqmqa the duty of the township board to fix the amount to * * " ’ for repair* nnd permanent Of course, under thl* law, _ be- but one highway district in each township, and the multlpllcty of dis­ tricts heretofore will be done away Hope—The old "scrap’l which hp* hurt the Republican, tidket iu'th’ftr. town for thn past few years is got entirely healed but is mitndlng.

THE MYSTERY OF THOMAS MEKITHEW. [Origin*!-] In 18— Tboraas Merlthew, a wealthy gentleman uf Buffalo, died. His life bad been exemplary. He had expend­ ed largo sums in charity and on bls church. He liad never been in busi­ ness. nor had it been necesrary for him to earn money, for be bad Inher­ ited a. fortune, which grew nteadily while In bls possession. Since he left no cbildreti. his wife Inherited, all his property. A few years after his death the wife died, aud the estate passed Into the poaaessiou of Merlthew Inger­ soll. his nephew. During Thomas Merithew's life there were whisperings concerning him. It was said that he did not live happily with his wife and that be would fre­ quently go away from her; that when he did so no one knew where he went; that at such times instead of being a model of probity be led a wild life. But there was n discrepancy In these reports, for if no one knew where be went how coukl it be known that he lived a wild life? • Ten years after bls death bis former friends and acquaintances were aston­ ished to read in a newspaper ztbat a young man living In New York city. had put in a claim for the Merlthew fortune. This person bad been brought up under the name of Edward Coyle, but claimed the name of Edward Merithew, aasertiug that he was a legiti­ mate son of Thomas Merlthew, that his mother had been married to Merlthew prior to the latter’s marriage to bls acknowledged wife and that as the sole surviving heir he was entitled to all of his father’s property. The case proved intensely Interesting to both those who knew the Merithews and to the public generally. As soon ns It was begun the rumors that had been elrculjfied during Thomas Meri­ thew’s life took shape. Leonard Grif­ fin, a Buffabuiau. testified that he had had a speaking acquaintance with Merl­ thew; that on one occasion while visit- I tag New York he had met Merlthew on j Wall street, had bowed to him.' and j Merlthew passed ou without noticing him. Wondering if he could be mis- j taken lu his man. be followed him and !, d bond broker, but really a speculative ’ Investor. . Another witness, Putnam Palmer, testified that in a restaurant in New York be bad seen a man be Hupi>osed to be Merlthew. Merlthew was with a woman and a boy. Palmer looked at Meritbew. who returned hla gaze with­ out recognition. Upon Inquiry st the desk he was informed that the mzn often dined there with the woman and' the boy. who were understood to. lie bis wife and son. Leonard Anderson testified that Meri­ tbew had told him that there was a I man in N^*York wb^‘so ctoeeVr^ ; offlclaJ. ‘Oh. sire, your majesty la very bat 8**® were de" fecu.

Various r- mark* of thr kind were made but they didn't have ah}’ effect upon Jlr. Newton, who went right ahead with his work. In the first place a good dam was thrown across Fall creek, giving him a 2t foot head for power. Two good water wheels were Installed, one of 3 00 horse power, , the other of some­ thing mor«- than 30. Next he built a cament mill 20x<0 feet In size and three stories high. In this he installed a saw mill, a feed grinding milt, and a cider milt He pays cash for logs, or does sawing at so much per thous­ and feet. In his feed grinding mill he installed machinery that would grind cobs and all. Muny people were inclined to belieyj^that when Henry's saw mill went up against a good big log there would be “nothing doing," but there was. Contrary to.jhelr expectations the big saws walked .right through th<* logs and he has been turning out quite an amount of lumber every* day. and his mill has been kept busy all the time. His >ard is well filled with logs and more are coming. His feed mill* has also been kept busy. To do all of his work he has only used his 100-horse wheel and' has had all kinds of power. •If you have logs to sell, or logs to be sawed Into lumber.' or feed to bo ground, cob and all. Mi*.

The Carlton poll book •hows 277 votes polled so we, an- In­ formed. We are told that ther- are not as many ballots In the box as the poll list shows were cart We are ali«» told that the ballot box Is not such a box as the law contemplates, but Is a cheap affair, easily opened, even without u key If neceswtry. We have no knowledge of the merits of. tho controversj' over the Carlton supervisorship, ttr.d gfrp only the report as made to us. But It shows at least that Carlton needs u different ballot box than the antiqu­ ated cheese box it uses, and needs to be more careful about listing ballots than Its town board evidently was this year. We understand that Mr. Fleming will contort the election. CASTLETON CENTER Mrs. D. H. Brown and children who have been visiting her parents for the past week returned home Monday.

The Tomlinson Lumber company of thl* city have un advertisement in thia ittyut- that will be of Interest to every pvroon Intending to-do any building. The advertisement advises all who in­ tend to do an>* building to do it thb* aea*on. Anyone who reads their an­ nouncement mast concede that rea­ sons are given thnt cannot well be dis­ puted, and those who take advaritage of present conditions may well be thunkfu'l to the company for at leant taking enough Interest in their wel­ fare to give them n "timely warning." At the present time the price of lumber is down, duo 'to the recent money panic. Conditions go to show that there Is. a gradual improvement in business. When the industries yof the country begin to work full blnht 'and business gets back tn its normal level, the price of lumber is certain to advance. It cannot well be other­ wise, because the consumption of lum­ ber is rapidly increasing every year, and the lumber supply is diminishing. No one. can dispute this fact, and in­ deed it is a matter of such serious concern thiK the U. S. government has taken hold nf the question to w»n- alble. Colleges have added courses in forestry that people may become bet­ ter acquainted with methods of pre­ serving forests. With a greatly In­ creasing demand. and a rapidly di­ minishing supply,-only one thing can happen—the price must increase. Being engaged in the bmlness the Tomlinson Lumber company ure much better acquainted with conditions than those- who tire not. But It doesn’t re­ quire an intimate knowledge with the business to know that what they state Is true. Concerns all over the country are taking advantage of’ the present depression In prices to build. Indeed that was one of the first considerations that prompted the Hastings Table company to double Its present cupacJty. That concern placed an order for 11 carloads of lumber, with the Tomlinson Lumber company and fig-; ures that by doing the building now it will effect a big saving over what it would cost next year, or at .any future time. So if you are going to build, or if you are thinking ot building, it will be well for you to read the advertise­ ment of the Tomlinson Lumber com­ pany tn this Issue, nnd all who read it may have reason to thank them for their timely warning.

IS RAPIDLY SPREADING. Local option retur s indicate a ronger temperance nentjnient Jn Michigan than it was supposed exist­ ed. While there has been no general resentment against saloon keepers themselves, because they are engaged in a legitimate business uritler the li­ cense 1$wh nf the state, yet that there was deep seated feeling against the liquqy traffic and the open saloon, no one can deny. The returns show It. The open saloon is regarded as a menace to the young manhood of the state, and an admitted breeder of poverty, crime and pauperism. The local option victory in Oak­ land county carries the struggle right up to the very limits of Detroit, where the struggle will doubtleas be waged later on. Eleven counties in Michigan are now “dry** and tho State Anti Sa­ loon League has its plana already laid for Its battle In the spring of 1909, when other counties are certain to be added to the list This can only mean ultimate -state prohibition, and both of the great po­ litical parties will do well ta take no­ tice of the growing sentiment in Mich­ igan. In this issue will be found an ex­ tract from the Grand Rapids Herald endorsing the Hon. C. L.

The signlng’o£our names to this agreement shall, of itself be deemed sufficient to constitute membership In said. Good Citizenship League and consent on our jmrt to abide by nil acts of the Board of Control, .as well ns all rules and regulations adopted by them not inconsistent with the pur­ poses of the organization. It is ex­ pressly agreed nnd understood that our liability on our subscriptions here­ to shall cease May 1st, 1910. and it is further expressly agreed and under­ stood that no subscription Is binding until the total amount subscribed shall be at least 3500. It will be observed that the plan Is to choose an executive board of five, who shall be the officers of the Lea­ gue. Al! obligations against the Lea­ gue must be authorized by thia execu­ tive board. The board shall name a Law Enforcing committee of three, who shall be knewn only to the five members of the ‘Board. This secret committee will net when there Is work of the kind suggested by their title. By this close organization It .will be easy to act, and to act effectively. The object of the League will not be In any manner nor degree to supersede •>r in any way Interfere with the work of the. city or cqunty officers whose duty will tic the enforcing of the laiw. It will be an active, Independent force to aid in upholding the jaw. and its In flap nee and work will count in that direction in ways that arc entirely legitimate. Each subscriber to the League be­ comes thereby a member. Ten per cent of subscription will be paid im­ mediately after the League Is organ­ ized. The balance is subject to call in 10 per cent assessments when re­ quired. After May 1st, 1910 there NECK THROAT THEi . ~1 WAY! 1 DOWN Tonsiline WOULD OU I OXLY CUM IT.

IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A PIANO, CALL AND LET US SHOW YOU. THE QUALITY FURNITURE STORE shall be no ^further obligation on the aaressnwnts.' This is because'the local option law must stand, if the action In Barry county is sustained by the courts untii May 1, 1910. No member can be obligated for more than he subscribes. All obligation on the sub­ scription'will terminate May 1.. 1910. It Is hoped and expected that at least 35.000 will be subscribed. It is not expected that such a sum will be required—probably not more than* 10 per cent or 20 per cent. But It is expected to use It all if necessary to uphold, the,’ law. It is expected to make the law effective. It is ’expected to raise half the amount In this city and the balance outside. The work in this cltv is progressing very satisfactory. The first day the paper was circulated the sum of ; 8600 was subscribed by six men. Tills shows that the citizens of Hastings are active and working to sustain the law. There ought to be and no dbubt will be 500 men In Barry county who will subscribe amountsfrom 310 upward, payable within-two years. In: ten per cent assessments as may be required. When the canvasser comes to you. do not hesitate, but help the c^use along.

Many Hastings people take their lives In their hands by neglecting their kidneys when they know there organs need help.

Below Is ..the statement of the general agent of the American Express company. Charles F. Reed of Detroit, given in Satur­ day** issue of the Grund Rapids Her­ ald. concerning the attitude of that company. The article is as follows: "The express companies already have their instructions regarding the shipment of Hquor Into prohibition counties, nnd no new orders will have to be Issued as a result of the recent local option elections,’ said Cltarles F. Reed, general agent for the American ExpnuM company, at Detroit * "All Van Buren .county nnd a num­ ber of towns in Michigan already, come under our instructions regarding liquor shipments, and the counties which went dry on Monday will just be added to the list we already have. ••Our Instructions provide that no consignment of liquor can be received al any office C. O. D. for any point where local Option Is In force. “ ’If a package is brought in Hnd shipped prepaid, we have no bills und cannot know what It contains. Of course, our clerks always ask what an unmarked package contains, but a man who wunts to send whiskey to a prohibition town wouldn’t tell the clerk thnt the package contained li­ quor. If he did, the ciferk would re­ fuse the package.' •The regulations of the express companies also provide that no agent may accept, transmit or execute an order for the purchase of spirituous or malt Ijquors. nor may he advance the purchase price of liquors ordered. All companies are governed by the same rules, which are filed with the Intarstate commerce commission." The power of foes without depends on the fears within. He who does what he enn can soon do what ha would. that 4 Philip “Klnne and' HelOn Braden visited at Chancy Bliss'. Sunday. Amy Johnson who has beeg spend­ ing the jmet two weeks with her ab­ ler.

Only Necessary To Treat The Stomach Says Cooper The new theory advanced by L. T. Cooper relative to lhe human stom­ ach has attracted such widespread attention thnt the public in cities visited by the young num has been joined by many physicians in a dis­ cussion ot hls beliefs and medicines. Mr. Cooper says thnt human health is dependent almost entirely upon the stomach. He says that no dis­ ease can be conquered without first alleviating all stomach disorders. He further says that most men and wom­ en of Oils generation are half-sick, owing to degenerate stomachs. And lastly, he claims thnt his New Dis­ covery medicine will rejuvenate the human stomach In 90 days. Cooper has been traveling from one city to another, conducting In oach what he calls a campaign of education. For the past year he has met the public in the larger cities of thr country, and bis success has been phrnomlcal. Thousands of peo­ ple have flocked to hls headquarters whorever he has gone, and the sale of his medicine has been beyond any­ thing of the kind over before wltnesscd. • Possibly the most Interesting fea­ ture of the attention this young man hat hi* army ofhas converted to hi* medicines. of a duh pain that I could not quite understand.

'but this extreme view is now combated in a new book by Dr. Joseph Graaset on “The Semi-Insane and the Semi-Responsible.’’ translated by Dr. Jelllffe of New York. Dr. Grasset finds that Intellectual superiors frequently possess psychic defects l which are sometimes very marked, und he believes that while their Intel­ lect and 'their nervous affection are connected they are not as cause and effect. This Is prayed by the fact that many people have the disease who do not possess the genius.

It is located in the Laramie River Valley, Albany County, Wy> orbing, only four miles from the thriving city of Laramie, the County seat, a place of 10,000 people, modem and up-to-date in every way, arid which has the State University. Laramie is located on the main line of the Union Pacific R. R. which road traverses our land lengthwise. Four stations and townsites are on our property, thus giving every acre of land a market place within six miles. The land is level, with deep rich soil that grows fine crops of WHEAT, OATS, BARLEY, CORN, RYE, ALFALFA and fruits such as apples, pears and all kinds of small fruits. You don't have to locate in the wilderness as there are 10 solid passenger trains pass through this land every day. There are good roads, and good water can be secured at a depth of 30 to 60 feet. Building lumber can be bought from mills in the Rockies a few miles distant 40 per cent cheaper than it can bought here, and a good grade of coal can be bought for $2.00 to $3.00 per ton.

Section 35 provide* that women tax-payers, hav­ ing the qualifications of male slectors ■hall be witltled > to vote. The text of the constitution os ap­ plied to cities and villages roads a* follows:. Sec. 39. The legislature shall pro­ vide by a general law. for lhe incor­ poration of cities and by a general law for the Incorporation of vlllagea: such general laws shall limit their rate of taxation tor municipal purposes, and restrict their powers of borrowing money and contracting _ ____ Uuder such general laws S-c. the electors of esch city sn.d- village shall have power and authority to. frame, adopt and amend its charter, and. through Its regularly constituted authority, to pas« all laws and ordi­ nances relating to its municipal eoncernsv subject to the constitution and general jaws of this state. ✓.

Any city or village n»ay ac­ quire, own establish and maintain, either within or without Ita corporate limits, parks, boulevards, cemeteries, hospitals, almshouses nnd all works which invblve tho public health or safety. Sec.23. Subject to the provisions of this oonktltutlou. any city or vlllage may acquire, own and operate. either within or without its corporate limits, public utilities for supplying water, light,-heat, ‘power and transportatlon Jo the municipality and the inhabitant* thereof: and may also sell and deliver water, heat, power, and light wRhOUt its corporal.’ limits to an amount not‘to exceed twenty-five per cent of that furnished within the corporate limits:! and may operate transporatlon lines without the tnunlcIpallty within such limits ns may be prescribed by law; Provided, That the right to own or operate transportation facltltles shall not extend to any city or village of less than twenty-five thousand Inhabitants. •. • . Sec.24. When a o8fji or village''is authorised to acquire or openCe any public utility. It may Issue mortgage bonds therefor beyond the general limit of bonded ltidebtedrie«* pre­ scribed by law. Provided. That such mortgage bonds issued beyond the general limit of bonded Indebtedness prescribed by law shall not impose any, liability upon such city of village,I but' shall be secured only upon .the property and revenues of-such public utility. Including a franchise stating the terms upon which, in case of fore­ closure. the purchaser may operate the same, which franchise shall In no case extend for a longer period than twenty '•ears from the date of the sale of such utility and franchise on foreclosure. Bee. 35. No cltv or village, shall have power to abridge the right of elective franchise, to loan Its credit, nor jp assess, levy or collect apy tax or assessment for other than a public purpose. Nor shall any city or village acquire any public utility or grant any public utility franchise which is not subject to revocation at the will of the city <»r village, unless such proposi­ tion shall have first received the af­ firmative vote of three-fiftha of the electors of such city or village voting ipal election; and ujwtn such proposi­ tion women taxpayers having the qualifications of male electors shall be entitled to vote. . Section 25 puls an end to the giving away of frajfehlses without the con­ eent of the electors. In keeping, with^the Idea of local self-government granted to cities and villages the Convention gave us the following: Section 30, Art. 4. The legislature shall pass no local or spec­ ial act In tony case where' a general act can be made applicable, and whether a general aet can be made applicable shall be a Judicial question. No local or special act shall take ef­ fect until approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon in the dis­ trict to be affected. This is indeed wholesome reform. The abuses practiced under local and special legislation are well known and cause uncertainty and confusion. Agentleman came to •Hastings a few days ago ,to make complaint against his neighbor for setting a net in a certain'lake. An examination of the Local Acts revealed the fact that the legislature had passed n special act permitting netting • In this particular lake for <he taking of certain kind* of fish supposed to be found in great quantities in this lake nut which :lb a matter of fact never have been found In its waters. This special act was passed to protect designing persons wh<> wished to- fish with n£ts and. unlature to violate the fish law of the stirte. If the New Constitution Is adopted there will'be qo more special nets until (approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon In the dis­ trict to be affected. The same may be ■aid of all local legislation. The compensation of members of <he legislature has been commented upon by the press and received more extended discussion than almo*t any other subject before the Convention. It I* cert%l* that the preeefit per dlnm 1« altogether too low. At the lime of the adoauon of the constitution in 1850 the |nancea of our state were not In a vary healthy condition.

What may yet prove to be a genu­ ine mad dog scare occurred in the vil­ lage and township Saturday. About 6 o’clock In the morning a medium slued black dog appeared on South Main street acting in a peculiar man­ ner and snapping at pig* and dogs that came in his way. About an hour later Homer Bawdy who lives one mile south and three miles east saw a dog answering the same description rom­ . Ing tn his yard and attempted to bite his dog. From there he went east, with Mr. Bawdy and Daniel Greene In hot pursuit, overtaking and killing him. Willard Bawdy of the village went t<> his son Homer’s house and se­ cured the head and brought It hornet and notified- Supervisor Hynes and Township Clerk Meyers. At this writ­ ing we are unable to say what action our township board will take In the matter, but in our judgment the head should be sent at once to Ann Arbor for analysis, for If the dog had the rabies no one knows how many other dogs he has bitten. If the matter Is attended to at once It will give the au­ thorities plenty, of time to order aB dogs muzzled or shut up that arc now running at large. R. I.

If so they should continue to buy trust machines, pay trust prices, and ignore add turn down -any company or man who would endeavor to help them. , ’ If they would look after their own interests they ahould investigate the tflist problem. Now if any farmer in this part of Barry county is going to buy a machine and wants to help the trust, don’t call on me but buy a trust machine of the canvasser when be calls on you. This will be a sure way of prolonging the life of the trust and also a sure way of spending your money. But if on the other hand, you are looking after your own interests, call at my store and see the, “JOHNSTON” machine. This costa you nothing, and you will get information that you will get in no other way.

Now that this community, in an endeavor to better Its welfare, has voted to c.»a>."\un«ler the law provid­ ing for local option. w<tuld 'it not Imdesirable to remedy a few other mattprx. particularly the barbarous killing ut birds and squirrels’ In this city? There are residents who always re­ gard With pleasure the comniualtles of birds which neat in the trees nnd builditqrs on their prcniises. They f«*ed thee* birds nnd protect them as. far as possible At times families of squirrels huv* lived in shade trees along several of our streets. With t!*hope that they would stay and multi­ ply. they hare also been fed and pro­ tected. There are always, however, in every community, persons whose out­ look on life includes a disregard for th* common rudiments of .humanity, to sny nothing of regard for the law. Both birds and squirrels have been shot without, any reason whatever, ex­ cept for a mere gratification of a de­ sire to kill And f*-’ *■* *” _ ' In defiance of the <ordinance prohibitIng the discharge 1of Are arms within the city limits This killing has . . boys whose thoughtlessness often leads them to do such things, but by grown­ up persons in whom the primitive savage instincts have not been elimi­ nated.

The right uf a 'human being, shooting down a bird or squirrel which has been tamed and taught to regard man ns Its friend, and which has not the human power to distinguish a barbarian from a mah. and thereby makes an attempt t<> escape, is only worthy of the most 1 profound contempt and pity. A sports­ man always gives the gam* a chance; morever he never pays attention to birds or r*d squirreli**. If a sense of common decency and freedom from pettyness is not strong enough in per­ sons to keep them from blotting out inoffensive birds and animals which have as much right to their share of the air and tree* as anything else, is it not time that the laws—If there nre an>—prohibiting such actions should |be brought Into effect or made public? I Owing to popular Ignorance conli-erning the kinds of birds which nre lor ar* not destructive, the national government has estabUidted a bureau for gathering Information about all kinds of birds and their habits. Statistics gathered by these govern­ ment experts rhowr that even such a despisfid bird as the English sparrow is of infinite value as an Insect de-' stroyer. The blackbird has also been singled out as a destructive bird. Will You < oiiUniu. to buffer From Ca­ tarrh in the Fane of Thllli’Mtiinonk ?

We like to deal with PARTICULAR peopleWe are PARTICULAR ourselves and like oth­ ers to be the same, especially where they aim to be JUST. Sometime ago a certain man called at our mill to have some feed ground and the F U n F il I F II ftP question of flour was brought up and discussed. LlULI<llalU|f> He said that his wife was very particular about Li A I LIIILI1UL her flour,and always used a certain brand. He i • said she had never tried PURITY FLOUR bebe­ cause she was used to the other kind and didn’t like the idea of changing. The outcome was that we put a sack of PURITY FLOUR in his wagon and told him to “have his wife use it, and if she wasn’t pleased with it, it wouldn’t cost him a cent,” Later he called at our mill, paid for the sack of flour, AND ORDERED MORE, saying that his wife.liked PURITY even better than thekind she had been using. Now there are a lot of particular people in Barry county that are really standing in their own light by being self-satisfied when it comes to FLOUR, and consistently declining to even try a flour made by the most modern up-to-date process. Those are the ones'we would like to have give PURITY a fair trial. PURITY FLOUR isn’t an experiment. Those who buy it don’t buy,“a pig in a poke.” They buy a • flour that has gone out in the markets and won its own way to success «pon US-BIT alone.

Are farmers more interested in the welfare of the harvester trust than in their own personal interests? If so they should continue to buy trust machines, pay trust prices, and ignore and turn down any company or man who would endeavor to help them. . If they would look after their own interests they should investigate the trust problem. Now if any farmer in this part of Barry county is going to buy a machine and wants to help the trust, don’t call on me but buy a trust machine of the canvasser when he calls on you. This will be a sure way of prolonging the life of.the trust and also a sure way of spending your money. But if on the other hand, you are looking after your own interests, call at my store and see the “JOHNSTON” machine. This costs you nothing, and you will get information that you will get in no other way. Don’t take any canvass, er’s word for it. Don’t condemm the machine, or the man who sells it, nntill you have seen them both yourself. See the Johnston five foot mower at $41.00. I have it set up in my store.

Michigan to come to the village and a> soon as word could be gotten to the prosecut­ ing attorney, the complaint was made and the warrant-issued.and placed in the hands of Deputy sheriff Miller, with Instructions to. arrest Snyder, if he found him or received reliable in­ formation as to his whereabouts. Mr. Rowjader has no good .reason for nof having Snyder arrested and if Say* der or his friends think that they nave.an action against Rowlader, they are nt liberty to commence and they will not have to search the state to find him. As to the Woodland officers. Mr. Miller hiis been a peace officer longer than any person in the city of Hos­ tings Who Is now alive:" has always discharged the duties uf hb- office in a fearless and conservative .manner, and iii this case if the people demand that the county be put to the expense of looking Snyder up. he is ready to start at any time. As to Justice England. If the BANNER or any one else can point out a justice In their county more fearless, und at the' same time, more conservative, we would be pleas­ ed to get his name. Mr. England has been in. close touch with Prosecuting Attorney. Pryor ever since the affair occurred and both hlmwif and Depu­ ty Sheriff Miller. uro acting on hts advice. In conclusion we would say that until the public are acquainted with the facts. It would. "In our judgment.” Jeopardise the pJbple's case to try it at the present time. The reason for this is. that for nearly two years the ene­ mies of Mr. Rowlader have circu­ lated false stories - concerning the death of his first wife, and how he hud broken up Snyder’s family and then robbed him of hl* profits, of his saloon, while Rowlader has kept qul*t. and said nothing. However, the si­ lence on Rowlader's part was not from OUGHT TO HIVE BEEN IN ARREST IN STYLISH, BECOMING CLOTH ES OF QUALITY. IT'S THE GREATEST STEP TOWARD SO CIAL AND BUSINESS BETTER MENT A MAN CAN ’jnDEd' TAKE.’ THERE WAS PLENH OF TIME TO HAVE DONE SO Dtogracx* That No Arrcsto and Made. Ai can’ be «een fi'om the communi­ cation of C. & Palmerton a warrant hus beep Issued for Milo Bnyder. the former Woodland saioontot'who shot C. E. Rowlader. the com­ plaint belpg made by Mr. Rowlader. We are glad of thto action, which how­ ever ought to have been taken*und could have been easily taken before Mr. Snyder ha< gotten outside of Barry county. Even had Mr. Kowlader made no complaint, the wwaland officer* could have done so. There was no reason for delay In the matter thut we can see. It was not necessary thuf a warrant' be delayed until Mr. Rowlader could walk doft-n. town to the justice's office. The law enforcing officers of Woodland or of this county could have1'made the complaint -with­ out, sui'h a delay. We are now informed that on the evening of the ahooting-Deputy Sheriff Miller, of Woodland, brought Mr. Snyder tn thto city, and the ’matter have the newspaper notriety thnt al­ ways follows such matters, for doing was prysented to the Prosecuting At­ an extensive buslncse. he knew he torney; -but the latter mys the Wood­ would be injured.

M. The Standard Vehicle Company, of Pontiac. Mich., owing to the financial depression of the country, have been forced to offer a number of their vehicles at public auction in or­ der to raise funds to meet pressing obligations and to continue in business, fpo they have decided to ship to Hastings a full carload of about thirty vehicles including top buggieeextension top snryies, open driving wagons and bikes in both steel and rubber tires. These vehicles are of the latest product of their factory. ThW factory has always stood at tbe head of all the numerous Pontiac factories for making fine finished work. These vehicles were never manufactured for thje' purpose of an auction sale but the above circumstances compel them to do this. They will I;. be. sold t; to th; the highest bidder without any reserve and will be open for inspection three or four day? prior to the sale at Rowland <t Couch’s sale stables in Hastings.

Ancient and Modern"A fair sized audience greeted him de­ spite the unfavorable night and felt well repaid for coming. His views were clear and excellent, and his talk was in an easy conversational "way ver.v pleasing to follow. Of especial Interest were hifc remarks concerning the excavaibns und restorations in the "eternal city” the past few years, his Vl««x admirably illustrating this; showing how the modern city has been bull: over the ruins of the old one. The lecture wai one of milch interest und benefit not only to the Latin stud­ ents.of the high school but to ull.who attended.

BY LIGHTNING DURING SEVERE STORM MONDAY EVENING MISS DAISY D. SMITH WAS KILLED. WENT TO THE PASTURE AFTER THE COWS And Was Returning When dir Fufal Cra*li Came. She and Her Father Were. Alone. A very sad accident occurred Mon­ day evening during the severe elec­ tricar storm which passed over- this county, resulting In the death Of Miss Daisy D. Smith uf Irving. Miss Smith was the sixteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Smith who re­ side on the place known as the Will Edwards farm in Irving, Mr. Smith having purchased the farm and mov­ ed there about a year ago from Hol­ land. After th» supper was over about six o'clock, the girl noticed the storm coming up and as It "was her custom to get the cows in from the tlejd, she said to her father, **l am-afraid It is so. rainy that I cannot get the cows tonight." Her father told her that he thought she could If she nurried, but not to bother about bringing the colts in. as he would aee to that. She donned a heavy coat and ran down the lane, thv field where the cows were pastured being about 40 rods from the. house. She had been gone prob­ ably five minutes when Mr. Smith, went to the barn to throw down some hay. After a while he noticed the cows come Into the stable, but as sho usually brought the colts from the pasture too. he thought she would be along with them in a short time. Meanwhile the storm nad been In­ creasing in- fury and when thtx girl did not return, her father started out to look for her. He had gone about 20 rods from the barn when he found her lying on the ground dead. While he -was in the barn he noticed a very hard clap of thunder and a terrible flash of lightning, and now thinks his daughter must have been killed by that flash. Mr. Smith summoned help' and got the body to the house, and ex­ amination showed that the lightning struck her back of the left ear. burn­ ing her hair considerably, then went down across her chest, glancing to her right limb and came out near the in­ step, burning her terribly. The occasion Is made doubly sad. becniise of the absence of Mrs. Smith who was visiting her son at Holland on her way home from Chicago, where she wns called by the death of a sister, thus leaving Mr. Smith and Daisy alone. Deceased leaves her father, mother and one brother to mourn her loss. . . ■ She was a young lady of bright, amiable disposition, one character­ istic being her thoroughness in every­ thing she undertook to do. The par­ ents-and brother, who are nearly pros­ trated with grlcL have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in tiic-ir hour of sorrow. ' The remains were taken to Holland this morning for liurial. SEVERAL MERCHANTS REPORT THE LARGEST DAY’S TRADE IN YEARS. LOCAL OPTION DIDN’T SEEM TO HURT Several McrctianU Already Report n Ileeidetl. Improvement in Their Cash Trade. If Saturday was any criterion) as to what this city under local option 'Is to be, then we fear that there are several business men in this city who will have to revise their opinions as to its effect upon businesa. There arc those who--In thie ut­ most good faith argued that local op­ tion would kill burinemi; thdt [ after it* enforcement Main street would be­ come a cow pasture: and business would be "un the humnu r.” W«j can- local option would hurt business On Che other hand we. firmly bcllrvf that it wi|l be a positive benefit, and Sat­ urday’s experience lathis city g<>es to prove it. ’People must live, ah’d in order to do so must buy groceries, meats, clothing, etc. The Ideaj that iny man within this trading d|strict Would go outside of Barry count?' to do' his trading, simply- because liquor Is not sold in Hastings seems Ito us preposterous, and we doubt verj’tauch whether there is any man a found here stf wedded ta booze that he would, do thia Certainly he'could not, grati­ fy his upp-l_lte by going to any pthor town In the’county because the same conditions prevail there os herej Liq­ uor is not sold In Lake Odosmu so the nearest point that could be reached from Hasttags where liquor could be obtained would be Verihontvllle or Caledonia. Does anyone sup­ pose that any man would go to the expense of Tciivtng this city with its larger stocks to select from, and:with prices quoted equally us. low ax the lowest, to go to some- point outside of the county to do his trading? If they will not db this then we believe that every man must admit that local option doA not, and will not hurt business. We have stated that we believe local option will help burineM. Sat­ urday's business In this city only serves to confirm th.it belief. Money "flows like water" when several men meet to have a "social glass** tn saloons, and many « man has spent every dollar he hud almost before he knew it in trying to keep up his part of the treating. The result was that money that should have gone to pro­ vide for the family needs'has been goods man, the meat dealer.- had to wait for their pay—and too many times had to wait in vain. If there is no l|quor sold, if there is no chance for treating, then money that hereto­ fore went for liquor will now be spent In providing for household necessi­ ties That very thing was empha­ sised in this city Saturday in numerous Instances that we might name. One merchant told of.a certain man who* used to drink freely, to such an extent that his credit was very doubtful to say the least. Saturday he camo In. bought a good bill of goods and paid the cash. The.man .urns good wages but previously has spent a good por­ tion of it over the bars of this city. Another merchant, not formerly favoring local option, spoke especially about several who came intn his store Saturday, ordered bills of goods, and paid cash. and they were not men who had contracted that habit in the past to any great extent The stores here Saturday were filled* with buyers and several merchants who had opposed local option very frankly expressed their surprise at customers who came.in and paid cash. Several said that Saturday was the best day fur businexs that they had had in two years, while others said it was the best for months past Instead of being un Injury to busi­ ness we believe lpc.il option will bo found a positive benefit of the government*!* was behig-plnwed and buried It. -a fighters were built for their us-, and •<> which we believe th>y vfli appreciate • ... - - - -- tinhenlhiy . llmijte ..f । Virgitda enmWe hop** th- r- innv » .1 large num- --Filer her -in.hand n-xl .*•*:■'•’ -,lay afternoon th- exact location could not bt? found.

She gave the story of the "Vision of Sir Launfal" by Lowell and the "Quest of the Holy Grail" from Tennyson’s "Idyll* of the King." Mr*. Hender­ shott told the story of "Wagner’s great opera.

He paid the fine, but eaid:- ‘ Do you fine people for think­ ing, you Honor.” The judge answered in the negative. "Well,” he said, “I think you are a fool still.” If the ladies of the households of this county should speak their personal opinions concerning the FLOUR that their husbands sometimes provide, doubtless there are a lot of them who would l>e fined. Neverthe­ less there are hundreds of them who do a pile of “thinking.” Those who have thought, have tried “PURITY FLOUR” and are unanimous iu pronouncing it fully equal to-the best there is on the market It isn’t an experiment now. and never was. because we knew HOW TO MAKE THE BEST FLOUR before we came to Hastings.

Attorney Howard and the Woodbury’ saloon keeper were In the village trying- to find out who the Woodbury correspondent to the Wood­ land News was. It seems the “sa­ loon man" took offense at an article that appeared In the Woodbury Items last week and seemed to carry the Idea that the article In question was libelous. • Of course we know nothing about the facts, but if the building re­ ferred to might be mistaken Tor a battleship the correspondent had a right- to make the comparison. If the saloon man kept hls T»lace of bus­ iness open after 9 o'clock p. m.. the correspondent had a right to say he wax violating the law. If the aaloon man had hls place of business ope\ after 9 o'clock p. m. or " before, 7 o'clock a. m., or on Sunday, the cor­ respondent had a right to say he was vlolaUng the law. If there is but one room In that building, or "If thete is । more than one room." and each room I is connected with the room In which I liquors are kept for sale, then the । opening of any of these rooms con­ stitute an opening of the saloon with­ in the meaning of the law provided the room or rooms are open during the closed hours provided by statute. We •do nnt understand that an article Is ■ libelous unleu it injures the reputa­ tion of a person or hls business nnd in this case we are of the opinion that no action would 11c, provided the ar­ ticle was libelous, until It could be proven that some one wax injured. In a cuae like this we are of the opin­ ion that if people knew that a saloon wax open at all hours the business would IncrtMwe instead of diminishing.

HASTING Oldest Bank ar NATIONAL BANK v National Bank in Barry County PERSONAL When I came to Hastings I came with the determination to do three things:Ist-Make just as good flour as there was on the market; 2nd-Give every one a “SQUARE DEAL.” 3rd-Build up an industry that would be a credit to myself; and a postive benefit to every merchant in the city and every farmer in the community. I feel that I have succeeded, and am succeeding iu all these 1st—1 have been highly pleased with the reception given PURITY FLOUR In hundreds of homes it has supplanted other brands that have been “household words” for years, and it has won out on MERIT alone. . 2nd-I have certainly tried to give every man a square deal. 3rd-Every farmer MUST admit, and ought to appreciate, that the Hastings Milling Company has been a postive benefit to him. Before I came here farmers were getting 3Q to 35 pounds of flour in exchinge for a bushel of wheat. I soon inaugurated the policy of giving 40 pounds in exchange for a bushel of wheat, and others later followed my lead. This is of certain benefit to every farmer. In addition we often “spring the market” for wheat, making Hastings a better market and helping both farmer and merchant ARE YOU USING PURITY FLOUR IN YOUR HOME? Why not give it a trial?

X TAO YOU REALIZE that the West is filled with golden opportunities for you? That there you can now buy the richest kind oFland at a very Uf U small price that in a few years will make you independent financially and permit you to spend your declining years in the quiet comfort that a life of hard work entitles you? When the early pioneers came into Michigan there was OPPORTUNITY on all sides and the tar-sighted man only tg? had to take his pick. You know, and everyone knows, that those opportunities have all been taken, and that if you buy any land now you have to pay such a high price for it that you cannot get much, if anything above interest on your money. ISN T THAT TRUE. When Your Father Came to Michigan if he came in an early day, he found this county covered with virgin forest. These trees had to be cut down and the land cleared off, which meant a lot of hard work. And about the time that” this was accomplished and the farm cleared up, the man who did the actual work was broken down from overwork. And if the average man had his farm free from debt when the final summons came then he was very fortunate. If you buy any of this land today you MUST PAY- WELL FOR IT. And you know it to be a fact that the land in Michigan today is not as good, and not as productive as it was 20 years ago. Now I am sure that there is a better and brighter future for any active. healthy, temperate young man in the west today than there is for him to remain in any old-settled community, and I am going to give you my reasons, and further invite you to talk the matter over with those who have visited the land I will mention. Doubtless you know some of the men who have bdught this land. $ S' , , &£ \/ HI V M /\ My First FREE HOME-SEEKERS’ Excursion To the BIG LARAMIE RIVER VALLEY, Wyoming, zj LEFT HASTINGS ON TUESDAY, MAY 5th, 1908, OF THE TWELVE WHO LEFT THE CITY ON THAT EXCURSION, EIGHT OF THEM PUR­ CHASED LAND, AND FOUR TOOK OPTIONS. Those who bought and the amount they bought were as follows: DR. W. A. MATTHEWS, Grand Rapids, 160 acres OSCAR MATTHEWS, City, 160 acres 160 acres JAS. R. MATTHEWS, City, -v AARON SHULTZ, Shultz, 640 acres FRANK and GEORGE REPLOGLE, Cloverdale. 160 acres 320 acres MR. DICKINSON, Delton, DAN B. ERB, Morgan, 640 acres AARON SHULTZ, of Shultz, DAN ERB, of Morgan and Mr 0. LEWIS, of Chicago, bought jointly 320 acres ■. v The sole fact that-these men bought this land is the best evidence that they were pleased with my proposition. If after a PERSONAL VISIT to this land they had not been pleased it doesn’t stand to reason that they would have bought. But talk with any of them, and you probably know some of them, and this is what you will see that they found: A big, wide, valley; the land level or greatly rolling; the eoil very deep and rich. As one of those who went with the party, aud bought land, said:—“This land is in better shape to work today than mitre is after all the years and years that 1 have put upon it to bring it to its present condition.” Tbe soil is richerand more productive than any soil in Barry County or I believe in Michigan. This is proven by the immense crops of wheat, oats, alfalfa, etc. that are grown, which eclipse anything in Michigan. Further, those who go to the Big Laramie River Valley Country will not find a wilderness such as the earlier settle* of this county and state found. The main line of the Union Pacific R. R. runs right through this laud, and solid vestibule trains are constantly passing. Tire city of Laramie is only a few miles away. A good quality of coal can be had from $2.00 to $2.50 per ton. Lumber for building can be bought cheaper than it can here. Posts for fencing can be secured free free from the government reserve in the foot-hills only a few miles distant. There is ample water lor irrigation from the Big Laramie and other streams with ample water in reserve to guarantee a reserve for all-time to come. There is fine fishing, large and-small game in abundance. The climate is moat healthful aud delightful. These are only a few points of excellence I might name. . • Now I Don’t Want You to Take My Word for It—Not for a Minute. There is just ONE WAY you can find out for certain, and that is GO AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. And if you intend doing this, you must not put it off. You should act at once. “First come, first served." Those who buy first will of course get the choicest locations—WHY NOT BE AMONG THE FIRST. This land is sure to increase in value very rapidly. Thousands and thousands of acres of farm and fruit lands in the west that only a few years ago could be bought “for a song" are now selling all the way from $100 to $3,000 per acre, and pay big interest on the investment at that.

Water dur ...... works bond* .— amounting to >9,000 were also re­ funded two years ago. The council in 1906 put >2,000 in a sinking fund to meet the city hall bonds. In 1907 the council added >1.000 more to this .linking fund. This money is deposi­ ted in the local banks at interest. The council this year plans to add ,13.000 to the sinking fund to meet the 319.000.city hall and refunded water works bunds, which will bring the bonds sinking funds up to >6.000. The pay­ ment of >500 due last Deceuiber on the market place debt the present council plans to payjn July, and has also provided In the" lax lew for the >500 due next December on the. mar­ ket place. This will clean up 31.000 of that debt, and'leave but 31.500 still due. Next September 31.750 of the paving bonds will be due. Of that amount probably 81.000 will be paid by individual- property ow-ners'ln the paved district, through the yearly payment plan devised by the council of 1907. This leaves 3750 to be pro­ vided from the general tux. It will thus be seen what the present council Is "up against." It plans to reduce the bonded and market debts by >4,750 through the tax levy this year. ' ’ . It plans U> wipe out the >3,000 floating debt which the city owed April Isf, and which w- have ex­ plained. so that the council for 1908 will turn over h> the council elected next April not h Boat Ing debt. bu{ everything paid up. and proposes in­ stead to have some cash on hand in the city treasury. It plans also to add a >1300 -pump to the water works plant. And in doing all this thr city's tax rate.-wlll be but 26 cents on thr >100 more than In July 1907. and will still not be heavy im compared with the tax rate of other dtles of equal size. Could the council last year have known about the >3.000 extraordinary expenses of that year and provided for them in the tax levy of July 1907, the rate this year' would not be higher than it would have been last year. It will be seen that the council, this year plans to wipe out the >3000 de­ ficit of lost year, pay >1.7.'.n MVjng bonds, add >3900 to the sinking fund to provide for the >19,000 city hall and water works bonds, and pay >1000 of the rparket place debt, and mid a >1.500 pump to the water works plant. Ewn at that the tax will be no high­ er than It would have been last year hud the council of last year been able to anticipate and provide for the >3000 extraordinary expenses men­ tioned. And tt Will be remembered that the city has not >2000 saloon tax this year, although that is more than half made up. as we understand it. by the increased amounts of property listed.by the supervirors. due in. large measure to the city’s growth la^ Hood’sSarsaparilla WHY 1 ASK YOU TO BUY THE I. & M.

J23.5OO It will be seen that with the collec­ tion of the July taxes this city will have >6.000 In sinking funds to apply on the >19.000 of bonds due In 1912. andwill also reduce the debt for th*? city market by 31.000. leaving it at >1,500. After paying the 31.750 pavj Ing bonds next September. the paving bonds will be reduced to >19,500 which while the whole sum is nominally a debt against the city will really be more than half paid by property own­ ers who own property In the paved district. Thus after next July’s taxes arc collected, as can be ascertained by deducting the amounts then in the various funds to be applied on dty obligations, and deducting fhe amounts to be paid by property owners having property In the paved district, this city's net Indebtedness will be less than >23.000. This city has fine prop-ertles which will many times offset this debt. We have an Investment of 360.000 In school buildings, and prob­ ably 35.000 in appliances and school library. We have a water works sys­ tem tout has cost, with Its improve­ ments \ and extensions, over 36,0.000.. and is well worth IL .The dty hall, the city market and the paved streets cost over >60,000.

Our readers will remember that Fred L. Heath and H. J.

Aside from the Weekly at Cleveland there was the Street Railway Journal, of New York City and the Street Rail­ way Rexlew. of Chicago' in this par­ ticular field. Recently the Journal purchased the Review, combining the plants, and moving the Review to New York. This left u verj- wide field, the entire west, open to the Electric Traction Weekly. As Chicago is the center of, the weat. it was deemed wise to move tb<- weekly from Cleveland to that city and this has been don*-, so that here­ after its offices will be In the Manhat­ tan Building.

GOOD NEWS Many Hastings Readers Have Heard It and Profiled Thereby. "Good news travois fast." and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Hnstings are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan’s, Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Renuafly. Here is an example worth reading: . Henry Welton, living -at 201 State Road, Hastings. Mich., says: "I suf­ fered for some time from pains across the kidney region, and If I took even the slightest cold, the trouble was aggravated. Seeing Doan’s Kidney PHI-’’ advertised and highly recommended by people in this vic­ inity I decided to try them and pro­ cured a box at the Mulholland Phar­ macy Their effects were noticeable from the first and I continued taking them until cured.” (From statement given Sept 20. 1.901.)

The resolutions of the county repub­ lican convention endorsing id strong terms the principles of primary re­ form, especially the elimination of the 40 per cent clause so tenaciously^ fought for by Representative Dickin­ son and Governor Warner, must be truly gratifying particularly to Mr. Dickinson whose bill embodied these features. The congratulations that Mr. Dickinson is getting on all skips over these resolutions are plain evi­ dences that the people appreciate a representative true to thefr interests. An amusing feature of the convention ' was the reading of the resolutions bjSenator Keyes who was permitted U» introduce, the Atwood, Johnny Baird Boxer Will containing thr forty per cent clause and all the other obnox­ ious features and whore vote as one •<tf the sixteen Atwood senators de­ feated the reforms that the resolutions ark for.

It is the healthiest climate in the world for man or beast and on account of the dry atmosphere the cold is not as noticeable as it is in Michigan, or any other state where the climate is damp. The winters and summers alike are enjoyable. < • Thp | ori/4 I liv InOllU “ level or gently rolling in the valley. The soil is a rich loam of great depth, with clay sub-soil and very rich and productive. There is no better, richer or more productive land on earth. A. personal visit there will convince you of this, and the wonderful crops grown, go to prove it. The Crops ’ * VI UpD ' Wheat it grown with marvelodu resnlta in many varieties, the average yield being 50 to 70 bushels per acre. Oats and flax are the best crops to grow the first year after breaking the sod land: oats yield from SO to 135 bushels per acre. Barley is famous both for yield and quality, averaging from 100 to 140 bushels per acre. sugar Beets are a good money-making crop, yielding from 20 to 25 tons per acre and are contracted for even before they are | anted Alfalfa is one of the meet profitable crops: cutting from 3 to 6 tons per acre (3 cuttings). Potatoes yield from 300 to ’ • »i bushels per acre, and a crop failure has never been known. Field Peas are very profitable because of their market ■ aloes aud fertilizing properties. Buckwheat yields wetland matures quickly. Native hay cuts 2 to 3 tons per acre ami sells from $S to $12 per ton. Turnips grow more pounds of food to the acre than any other crop and are rapidly becoming invaluable as i ■ >d for stock. All kinds of vegetables and many kinds of fruit grow luxuriously and yield profitable returns. ■pi- — ' I lit? wlVVlt For many year. Wyoming has enjoyed the distinction of being tile most important and prominent cattle state in the Union. Certainly none have won more honors at live stock shows and large ex­ , -itions. In 1904 cattle from Albany count; iu the big Laramie River Valley) carried off some of the most important prizes . it the International Stock Show at Chicago. And at one International Stock Show in Chicago. Wyoming captured EVERY PRIZE, with one exception, for the great Northwest district. One of the largest horse ranches in the west is in the Big Lar­ amie River Valley. Hogs are very profiatble. Sheep raising is one of the great industries of the Valley. In 1907 the wool . iip c.f Wyoming alone was worth $12,000,000.00. ■p|__ Tirtak/li. A most important consideration to settlers is that of obtaining suitable building material and FREE timber. One of the largest bodies of growing timber in the I He I IITlDer state is found >u Albany county and settlers are given free permits to cut this timber for building purposes. Sancistone and Marble for building purposes can be obtained at. a low cost. —. > ale A I vO3l The finest natural Plaster in the world is in great abundance and the Laramie Cement Plaster Works are situated in Laramie. A splendid grade of semi anthracite coal is in abundance and can be obtained at from $2.00 to $2.50 per ton. quantities, and the mining industry is a source of great profit. Gold, Silver, Iron and Copper are also found in large . .■ The matu line of the great Union Pacific R. R. runs through the very heart of the.property, which I represent, and is double tracked info Laramie, None of the land I offer for sale is mote than four miles from this railroad, which has direct connection with Omaha, Kansas City and Chicago. Trains are constantly passing During the past 10 years this road has spent $10,000,000.00 in improving its line in Wyoming preparing for the flood of people snre to come. The Denver Laramie & Northwestern, R. R. from Denver to Fort Collins, Laramie and on to Seattle is now being built through this section. A third line from Laramie to Centralia goes through the coal .. . rne KallrOBuS and lumber regions. y Denver is only 120 miles from Laramie. As you doubtless know in irrigated districts "Water is King.” Under irrigation you can have it rain at any time you wish and stop it when you will You can’t do that in regions depending upon rain. The owners of this property have provided a great abundance of water through the Oldest direct water rights, from the BIG and LITTLE LARAMIE rivers and in addition have great storage reservoirs, so that there will never come a time when this district will be short of water for irrigation. These reservoirs include James Lake reservoir. Lake Hattie reservoir and Hutton Lake reservoir. Artes.an wells are also found. ] .

WANTS Facts Il )<iu have ana uilng useful w© Everyone knows that you can’t make good bread unless you have good flour, still there are some who'expect the women to make good bread ont of any old kind of flour-just so that it is white in color. Good flour depends on the wheat and the milling of it. Yon take no chances when you buy i'Cc- b %■ Because we buy only fully matured wheat grown where' only good wheat grows. Because we condition it before grinding it. Because when it is milled all waste parts of the wheat berry are removed. Because we always make it the same way. and running steadily night and day as we do, with the same steady, even water power makes the flour ALWAYS THE SAME.

New York, which has always led the way among the State* in the establish­ ment of tuberculosis sanatoria, pro­ poses to eradicate the disease from within Its borders—no less. Governor Hughes has just signed a bill making what the Tribune calls the most Im­ portant and far-reachlr.g law dealing with tuberculosis ever enacted. Tho measure, prepared by the State Char­ ities Aid Association, contains provi­ sions culled from the most progressive Jaws on the subject, wrought Into a system which, it is declared. Is the best ever devised In this country. It Js^of continental importance that Its features be popularly known, fi>r It Is from popular conviction of the value of such laws that legislative action ip other States must come. And one point In the beginning should be held fast: Consumption, which now. de­ stroys more lives than any other di­ sease. is preventable, and* by the adop­ tion and enforcement of such meas­ ures. us New York nus now adopted may be eradicated. The main features of the New York law ore tha»-<pberculosis is declared to be an infectious and communicable disease, and physicians are required to report cases to the local henlth officer; so alio heads of hospitals, dlspensQries and similar Institutions. The health a^uthorities must provide free examination on request from any physician and must r«jgister persons affected. Premises vacated by death or removal of persons afflicted must be disinfected and cleansed before re­ occupancy, partly 'at public expense and partly at the t-xpenre of the, own­ er; And such premises are placarded by the health officer till renovated. Complaint may be made to the health authorities of any case that is not being properly handled so as to prevent'Infection, and the authorities shall, compel proper care Every phy­ sician reporting a case must receive from the health officers a chart enum­ erating the precautions and procedure In the ‘case, and ’the physician may either carry these Into effect or report to the health authorities, on whom the duty shall then devolve.

My friend Charlie Curts Is a genius compared with whom the wizard of Menlo Park Is a mere traveling um­ brella mender. Charlie took all the honors fn the scientific-courses at col­ lege. then put in a year at electrical engineering. The reason why ho stud* led it only a year was because before he bad completed that brief period he knew more than all tbe professors com­ bined. They admitted he was a genius, but feared tt would prove to be uncon­ trolled genius. Charlie bad said to me that making electricity or storing it, which Is the Mine thing, was u good deal like com­ bining hydrogen and oxygen to pro­ duce water. “Why, there’s more elec­ tricity than there -is ocean,” he said. -I’m going to devote myseif to Invents Ing a method of gathering it as one would fill a reservoir with water.” So I was not surprised he came to me one day and said he'd done the trick. < Charlie was evidence that money doesn't always Interfere witti tbe scin­ tillations of genius. He was thb sun of a multimillionaire. Why he considered a ship the ben place In which to dem­ onstrate his Invention I didn't then know, but one day he wrote me that he had altered bls yacht for the pur­ pose and wished me to sail with him on a cruise, during which 1 would see some wonderful sights. I boarded the Electra on the 2d of July. There was only a small portion of the yacht that could be utilized by the owner, guests and crew, the rest being taken up by huge receptacles for electricity. Charlie and 1 were the only two persons aboard except the grew, for Charlie said he didn't propose at his secret should get out.

We MUST have the room and MUST sell the goods. In order to do this we will sell our stock at from 25 TO 50 PER CENT REDUCTION This is a bona fide sale to sell stock and get the room, and must be done during th'e month of June. The stock is all HGW and fresh, no old goods to dispose of. This will give the people of Barry County an unusual opportu­ nity to get first class goods at COfit, and in some cases below COSt. Come in and look our stock over if you are in need of Furniture.

The BANNER has beep requested to print the provision^ of the City Ordi­ nance regarding the riding of bicycles on the sidewalks. Doubtless there are some who may not know of the ordi­ nance and others may have forgotten about it. At any rate little attention. Is seemingly paid to It, and the out­ come will certainly be that someone will be made to suffer if these viola­ tions continue, and those who ride wheels may be denied privileges they now enjoy. The ordinance provides. That there shall be no riding after dark. Always dismount when pedestrians on sidewalk. Riding on sidewalks Is strictly for­ bidden in the following districts: On Main street from the Monument The subject of Rev.

Every bit of metal used in KABO Corsets is non-rustable, besides it is cohered thoroughly two or three times to make it more impervious to rust.

It would also be well to notify your friends that you wlit arrive sometime. C. S. Palmerton has this advice to give to those who think of making an application for employment at the, Michigan Asylum at'Kalamazoo. A| great many young people get the idea that the State is in nefcd of llving'ornaments, that all that ,!» required of them is to put on thirir, best clothes,, look pleasant and set around In Jhe halls. As a result when they find out their mistake they quit. Mr. Palmer­ ton has in the past recommended a great many young pie to that in-. stltution and is pie to note that a : majority of those that his Judgment told him would make good, attendants have clone so. In the future he will i not redtfmmend any young person for employment who In his Judgment will not lill the bill, no matter how guilt edge their references arc. However, to all those who desire steady work chance to get into thc-.'lnstltutlon, but they must remember that it means work and plenty of it, but when a per­ son gets their board. . laundry- work, and medical attendance If sick-, and good comfortable quarters they should bear in mind that such a job is worth lookink after. Another thing should be borwe In mind that while they arc at work for the State they are not their own boss and cannot go and come whenever they mpy wish to, but must get permission every time they leave the grounds. Th<y: must also re­ spect their superior officers and oWy the rules of the institution. To nil those who will endeavbr to work, on the lines indicated thalr applications are solicited. None others need apply. Mrs. Ixircn Flory returned to her home in the state of New York Friday. Clyde Miller of Freeport visited his parents - Stfnday. Lev!

H. Lambert, a retired business mas, whose home is at 115 Francis Street. Everett. Moss. Mr. Lambert has this to say in con-nectlon with Cooper and his medi­ cines: "Some time ago I read nn ar­ ticle about this man Cooper, in which he claimed that stomach trouble was directly responsible for most ill health. He went on to say that, although his medicine did nothing but get the stomacfTln sdund condition, it would, in many cases remove kidney and liver troubles and various other ailments. He argued from this that the stomach was the main cause of stckneM, and stated that the success he has had with his medicines was due entirely to this fact. 'T am now fully convinced that this theory is correct and beilrte- Cooper has a really remarkable medicine. Judging from my own experience. “I have been a sick man for five ikAaUMM yean. Three years ago I was told by a physician that I had Bright's dis­ ease of. the kidneys. I have treated constantly for this trouble since, with­ out results. After reading the article 1 have Amentioned, I purchased some of this Inan Cooper's medicine. I have been astounded by what it has done for me. I was relieved to some extant within 24 hours. Today my health is better than for five years, and so far as I cafi. tell, my kidney trouble has disappeared. "My wife,-who had stomach trouble for some time, tried the preparation after noting its action in my case, and her Improvement Is fully as mark­ ed as mine. She now eats heartily three times a day without any distress whatsoever. Her nervousness has also left her. I certainty believe this man's success Is fully Justified, as he un­ doubtedly has u wonderful medicine.** We will gladly describe Lhe remark­ able record made by the Cooper medi­ cines to gll who wish to know of them. —A.

So far from making farmers “soreon the town.” we believe a weafay afternoon half holiday wduld after the rushing wason on the farm is over, be appreciated by the farmers and. their families, and they would many nf them come to see .the sports and witness the games, and if there were a band concert take that in too.

Now that corn planting is over it is a good time to get your fences in shape before harvesting begins. esse Townsend Hastings, Mich Great Commander Boynton, who founded th* order, had made no pro­ visions In hi* plans for this Inevitable 'situation where the assessment plan Is strictly followed. The old line com­ panies provide against such a situa­ tion ever coming by making their premiums high enough to cover any contingency that could possibly arise, and then-some. The more stable as­ sessment companies now provide for large surplus funds, and make their assessments large enough so that they can weather such a. storm as , now threaten* the Maccabees. . Major ’ Boynton is an old man and opposes any radical measures. It is claimed that he has about him cer­ tain advisers who are more interested in good position* for themselves than Jhey are for.the good of th* order There seems to be no doubt that the I situation Is a Wry trying on* for the order.

Judging from th«papers of these two young ladles and the manner In which they were de­ livered. they showed a great deal of thought, also of good ’training they had received In their .school days. The musical program under the supervision of Miss Fern Brandstetter was greatly appreciated by all present and the solo by Miss Cleone Brand­ stetter Is certainly worthy of mention as this young lady is very highly tal­ ented In this art. The address was given by Supt. \\. J. McKone of Albion and he certainly gave- n very intellectual talk and brot out many points which should be of Interest In the Delton school. This closes one of the most success­ ful schools , that was ever taught in Delton especially In the lower room which was taught by Miss Alta John­ son. Her success In teaching and the wav In which she handies ail the grades especially the beginners as well as the higher grades certainly shows that her knowledge of teaching Is way above the average and we will all re­ gret-ferv much that Miss Johnson is not going to’be with us next year. A great deal of credit is due our princi­ pal Mr Blackman who taught the last four months. When he entered the higher room, the conditions of which we will not mention here, and taking this Into consideration, he certainly showed a great deal of abllitv to advance the pupils as nt has done and we nre glad that Mr. Blackman will be with us next year.

Our Bank is the only one in Hastings that is equipped with a Double Automatic Electric System. - Every dollar of our assets, whether cash, securities, records, or fixtures, is protect­ ed day and night by an Electrical system, the only method known to the Banking world that has always kept out the “Safe Blower.” When you deposit your money here you know that it is safe; you know that it is earning you money all the time; you know that it is beyond the reach of thieves and bank burglars. If at any time you should want it. all, or any portion of it, all you have got to do is to make your wants known and your money will be forthcom­ ing at once. Isn’t that better, and safer, and surer than carrying your money around, or perhaps investing it in some’security whose value is uncertain?

There ie no land in Michigan, or any other old nettled state that will compare with it There is plenty nf water in the Valley to irrigate every foot of land that can be brought under irrigation. The land ie all level, with juet enough elope to make irriga­ tion easy. With irrigation you have everything under yonr own control. Toucan “have it rain” any time you wish, and have it stop when you will. In every country depend­ ing upon rainfall the farmers suffer damage "because it rains too much;” or ’‘because it doesn’t rain enough,’’ “be­ cause it rains at the wrong time.” In an irrigated country you can always depend upon sunny weather and regulate the moisture to suit the needs of any crop. Under irrigation the farmer can keep his crops growing until they have reached the.limit and then shut off the water and ripen them. c. Crops are always sure and certain, and there is never any failure. .

Bullock FDN THE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC AND THE ADVANCE MENT OF OSTEOPATHY. Tins article will l>e mi that common trouble, back­ ache. A popular idea is that backache comes from kidney diseases, but this is not true.' It is seldom asso­ ciated with kidney trouble and iu itself is not a symp­ tom of that disease. . There are two- general causes of backache, i. e., in­ ternal and external causes. The external causes come from strains in lifting, or working in a stooping or bent position. Injury to spine may irritate the nerves «o they become painful, and may cause a neuralgia or a neuritis, or congested and contracted muscles of the back. These injuries may bruise the nerves, or they may cense abnormal positions in the vertebrae so that they pinch the adjacent nerves and blood vessels. An osteopathic physician can diagnose the real cause bet­ ter than other doctors. One can also get muscular rheumatism of the back called lumbago, by an exposure or cold. Lame bark may come as a sequel to infec­ tious fevers, such as typhoid, tubercular disease of the vertebrae may cause it, also nerve irritation- from spinal cord disease. Internal causes are’ from reflex nerve irritation from xome disease of the abdominal organs, which have nerve connections with that part of spinal cord disease. It is not an unusual occurrence for patients to come io the Osteopath unable to walk erect and go away cured after one treatment in the simple forms of back­ ache; more complicated cases requiring more, and sometimes lengthy treatment. We cure 90 per cent at least of these cases. Where the cause is an external anatomical one, we give movements to place the struc­ tures of the back in a normal position and take the pressure off the painful nerves, and loosen up the con­ tracted painful muscles of- the back. Where due to internal cause the osteopath relieves the pain in hack at once, and then treats to cure the internal disease that is causing the backache. An instance due to in- > lernal-causes, causes the distressing backaches peculiar to women are eloquent witnesses that conditions in the spine are not as they,should be. Osteopathy’s prompt relief of backache—which, maybe, has not been en­ tirely absent a day for years.-- will be the first notice that normal spine conditions are returning and that the internal disease is beihjt relieved. To sum up backache is the result of spinal irritation (either from internal or external causes) to the nerves and nerve centers for the part of the spine that is ach­ ing. If you have not been helped by doctors of other schools it is no reason that the osteopath cannotoure yon. An osteopathic doctor never rubs or usee any mas­ sage. He is a doctor whose college course is as long and thorough as the four-year course of the other doctors. The osteopath uses all the means known to any doctor of diagnosing diseases, and uses surgery al­ so when necessary. Because he uses his bands more than any other doctor (except a surgeon) does not mean he rubs. One might as well say a surgeon does-rubUng. Rubbing does little good. An oeteopeth is ex­ pert in curing fevers, and cares all diseases when .not in tbe stage that is beyoi " ELECTRIC CAR INJURES RECEIVES HIGH OFFICE FROMTHE MACCABEES Caught between two approaching ■treeticors. Francis Freeman, a farm­ er living north of Dowling, who is em­ ployed os laborer on Battle Creek streets, received injuries, which may result In the loss of his right foot, Thursday afternoon at three o'clock.

This is a mistake. Your dollars should be just as diligent—should work just as hard as you do. Idle dollars are quickly converted into diligent dollars when de­ posited in this strong bank, and their diligence not only benefits the de­ positor directly, but indirectly, by increasing the prosperity of the whole community.

His personality is distinctly impressed up­ on the American people and his genius and-powers of statesmanship have their place in history. The Secretary of War Isn't a man who 'takes a -brass band along, whenhe sets out to perform a certain mis­ sion. Everything that he has done ta the wide range of his great diplo­ matic; sugeesses has been accomplished quietly, orderly nnd without ortentatlon. Though Taft was the choice of President Roosevelt to succeed him. and tn carry out his policies, yet the two tncn are almost of exactly op­ posite temperaments.

The Solon Lome of Van Buren County Re­ fuses To Give Up Fight Against Hani Luck. Weary, dusty and showing evidences of having travelled far on foot, ah aged man appeared in Dr. Burton's office late Wednesday afternoon. ’Tve walked a long wifa in order to have this doctor treat ray eyes." he said to other patients in the office. With his appearance, a pitiful story of a life long struggle for success with .aucceMi always beyond reach was re­ vealed. The man was Solon Lane, who lived in Freeport for a while .arid in Hastings until about a year ago. He is nearly 75 years old. During the Ciyll war he served ns a member of company B. 103 Ohio Infantry. Hie lift* has been spant in doing the hard­ est kind of labor whenever hr can get It. Frequently kind hands have help­ ed along him and his wife in their unequal struggle tp get a living. A small amount of pension has helped to keep the wolf from the door. While living In Hxistlngs'a couple of years ago* Mr. Lane went to Dr. Burton to have his eyes treated. The aged couple afterwards went to Swamp Creek. Van Buren county. Recently thflffid man paid his lost $11 pension money for board for himself and wife. He became ill and was unable to work. and the people with whom they were boarding permitted them to stay un­ til he should be able to earn some­ thing. Then ho became afflicted with eye-trouble again. Determined not to give up his struggle against hard luck the old man counted his resources and found that by walking to Kalamazoo, a distance of about 25 mile* he would have enough, money to pay his fare to Hastings where; he could see Dr. Burton. With the aid of his stick he made his way • afoot to Kalamazoo. After buying a Ticket to Hastings he hud four cents left, with which capi­ tal he arrived. He intended to look for work to enable him. to pay his fare home. Dr. Burton treated him free, and another citizen gave Mr. Lane enough money to go home with­ out walking. only way to obviate this would be to use gold, which cold.renders pilable instead of brittle.

M|m Florence Pidiepger °J.£h*rd THE PLACE WHERE YOU 00 THE BEST loUe and Floyd Felpljler andI wife »no nanphter pawed Benias with the lat MULHOLLAND Dear Sir: - Complying with your request, I state briefly some of my impressions of the Laramie valley gained from our recent visit there. It must, be understood in advance that theea impressions are based upon a very brief time and limitid opportunities for ob­ servation No man can judge intelligently under such .condition®. He must summer and winter in a country to know very much about it. 1 bad seen some little of the West before, but not this particular locality. The valley is certainly a beautiful one and traversed as it is by one of the great transcontinental railroads, and containing witbin its borders the chief educational institution, the State University, its future certainly teems a bright one. Of course is mutt be understood that in the past it has been almqst entirely a grazing country. Many things connected with its agricultural ’development are still !n their infancy, and these problems are being worked out by the experiment • station cou­ ntered with the university. I saw Prof. Nelson, the botanist of the stalion, and be said extended experiments were being carried on to determine the besfvarietie« of grain, vegetables, and small fruits adapted tmthe country. So far as many of the common grains are concerned the matter seems to have passed the experimental stage and as a grazing proposition the stock now on the range answers that question. The horses and cattle, of which one may see thousands, have passed the winter entirely with­ out shelter or protection of any kind and no feed save the pasture, yet are in as good con­ dition as like stock upon the average farm here. The range horses are the finest 1 ever saw and the cattle (mostly grade Herefords) show that much has been done In the wax of breeding up. 1 brought back specimen® of oats and barley raised on tbe “ghost” ranch that are oertaioly fine, much heavier than similar grains raised here. I examined some oats that had been ent green for hay and most of tbe heads seemed about a foot long. One measured 15 inches. ’ • , ' . , In company with two others 1 attempted to reach Beli’a ranch concerning which I heard much from the outset. Our driver evidently knew little about tbe country and insisted upon retracing our journey when still seven miles short of our destination. Fortunately, however, 1 met Mr. Bell aftertrard in Laramie and he confirmed some of the remarkable stories afloat concerning his crops, for instance raising 137 busheleof oats to the acre. When I ask him how tall these oats grew, mechanically extending my band somewhat above the height of an oat crop here, be said: “Bless you, don t bold your band down there, put It up here,” raising bis hand above my head. One thing be told me may interest you. He said he bought a half section adjoining bis ranch, a tract that he could conveniently irrigate with the facilities he bad. lie broke this up and sowed it to oats and this first crop paid for the land jten dollars per acre) all the cost of raising and harvesting the same and left a surplus of >700. Of couree 1 cannot vouch for any of bis statements but he seemed frank and not a man built on the “hot air" plan. I have no reason to suppose that he has any connection with the company you represent, though of course he will be greatly benefited by the development of the valley. In parting he said, “I invite you to visit my ranch next August when I will show you 1200 acres in oats and barley and I think I can convince yon that we can raise something up here. . . . .. .. , In conelusionrif any of your clients are interested in this proposition I r advise them not to attempt to see it through my eyes or anyone’s else.but go aud look for themselves. People do not always ree things alike. To me it appears that a young man with some bustle In him could hardly make a mistake in grasping this opportunity .at least if I were back again to that period in life I should like nothing better than to try it. To one who has seen nothing of this western country tbe trip is certainly worth the whole price of admission, as tbe clown would say. while as to the treatment received.enroute certainly no man can complain. He is furnished a berth in a standara 1 ullman and meals In the dining car where if be is a fairly good “feeder" he must curb his appetite to keep bls bill down to the dollar mark. Heretofore when I have traveled 1 have been compelled to pay my own bills and take care of myself and it seemed might/good to have some one along to attend to these little details. 1 shall travel after that fashion ex­ clusively hereafter. ,, , . 4, 7 Hastily and truly, , rThr L.*>.

Rtad it through—Every word means DOLLARS TO YOU. . and honorably conducted. A sale honestly advertised REMEMBER This Sale Lasts Only TEN DAYS! The most Gigantic Slaughter Sale of FINE CLOTHING, FURNISHINGS, DRY GOODS, SHOES l ETC., EVER ATTEMPTED IN MICHIGAN WILL COMMENCE WED. MORNING And continue 10 days only. Just think public, and sold for less than the actual JULY 1st E. C. Tew and Sons’ Cash Department Store will be thrown co»t to manufacturers by The Chicago Brokerage Co., known from on the market at the mercy of the oce^n to ocean as the World's Greatest Bargain, givers. . The Story and Who We Are . The Chicago Brokerage, Co. of Chicago, are the largest merchandise brokers in the world. We handle merchandise of all kindsand turn , the same into cash in a given time. Messrs. E. C. Tew & Sons are Lake Odessa's oldest and most reliable merchants, holding an enviable reputation for fair dealing and straightforwardness in business. Messrs. E. C. Tew & Sons could, by a long drawn out) sale, reduce their stock by a nominal sum, but prefer placing it in the hands of a reliable concern that will deal with the people as they would themselves. Therefore this great stock has been placedin our hands to turn into cash in 10 DAYS ONLY. This stock is known all over Central Michigan as the best selected Clothing, Furnishings, Hats, Dry Goods, Shoes, etc, stock in the country, and it looks like a shame to slaughter these elegant goods. BUT WE MUST REDUCE THIS STOCK And when the Chicago Brokerage Co. gets hold of a big stock like this, it simply uses the knife and cuts prices so low that no person of intelligence can afford to stay away. ?

OSBORN THE HUSTLE STORE” HASTINGS ♦ MICHIGAN ♦ �WHAT Who Have Investigated the Big Laramie River Valley Proposition, ■ There are a good many people in Barry County who have never made a trip west, and who know comparatively nothing about the produc­ tiveness of the soil of the western states. They have doubtless read our advertisements about the Big Laramie River Valley Irrlgated Land Proposition and have laid the paper away, feeling perhaps “that it was only another one of those 'boom' propositions that would fall flat when the hot air was all out of' it. I will say to you frankly that if I did not feel certain that it was a good “square deal" proposition I would never have taken hold of it. When I commenced business in Hastings it was with the determination to give every man a square deal. As a result there were lands in Barry County that I refused to list. rWHY? __ZT_7 Z I. 2~Ii knew that buyers would rely upon Because . . and j I .could u not conscientiously ______ - —,, — — land . .____ ,_____ -_____ ‘____refused C - to — list -it____ 1 When it me to sell them good,- dependable land, sell this to anyone and therefore at all. came to the Big Laramie River Valley Irrigated Lands I had been all over that country; knew all about them; and knew that they were RIGHT. Before taking hold of them I carefully investigated the Company back of them and found the Company square and honorable. Therefore I had no hesitancy in recommending them. The ' greatest trouble " was to oget the ' people to go and visit them. Everybody “seemed to want to wait until somebody else had gone;" others were inclined to “wait until next time .' :" etc. Over 20 people from Barry County, and people well known here, have visited these lands. I’ could get a good letter from every one of them, but here are what a few of them have to say:— • Letter from George Replogle, of Cloverdale, who visit­ ed these lands and bought a nice farm. Letter from A. F. Shultz, of ‘Shultz, who has bought a lot of Big Laramie River Valley Land after visiting it. Cloverdale, Micb., May 25, 1908 C. B. Benham Dear Sir:— I take liberty to write you a few lines in regard to my trip west. We found the Laramie Valley a few miles north of i Laramie, Wyoming, along both sides of the Union Pacific K. R. very rich and fertile, with the Laramie River running through it; with a tine climate and mild winter. Cattle pick their own living all winter. This val­ ley is 35 or 50 miles wide and lays almost level just a little rise now and then. They raise the best of oats, barley, wheat, peas, rye. potatoes and hay and other grains and vegetables. I consider with proper irrigation it will be one of the best agricultural sections of the west. Our trip was a pleasure trip from start to finish with the very best sleeping and dining car with hotel service, with no change of cars from the time we left Chicago until we arrived there again. 1 think anyote thinking of going west cannot afford to miss the chance offered to buy land In the Big Laramie River Valley nnd all who go will be treated courteously from start to finish. Geo. Replogle Shullx, Mleb., Maj 28, 1908. Mr. C, B. Benham, Hustings, Micb. Dear Sir:— , . 'We arrived in Wyoming all right the company doing more than they adver-' tised in the way of accommodation and entertainment. Found the land alright accord­ ing to your advertisement in the Banner. As for the country, the land is level, soil fer­ tile, and good water privileges. Anyone wanting to invest their money could not do better than to go there. Yours truly, A. F. Shults, Letter from F. O. Replogle, of Cloverdale, who bought some of this Land after visiting it. Cloverdale. Mich., May 25,1908 Mr. C. B. Benham, Hastings, Micb. Dear Sir;— ii • ■ . *, In reply to yours of the 21st will eay that I think the land in the Laramie Valley is as stood as any in the United States and will be as good a place for a home as can be found. It is a good place for a man to go to build up a home who has small means as well as forXhe speculator who wishes to make quick money. We were also used as well as money and labor could use us while on the trip, having the beet dining car service and also sleeping car service. Very respectfully, F. O.

Dear Sir:— Complying with your request, I state briefly some of my impreeflions of the Laramie valley gained from our recent visit there. It must be understood in advance that these impressions are based upon a very brief time and limited opportunities for ob­ servation. No man can judge intelligently under such conditions. He must summer and winter in a country to know very much about it. I had see* some little of the West before, but not this particular locality. The valley is certainly a beautiful one and traversed as it is by one of the great transcontinental railroads, and containing within its borders the chief educational institution, the State University, its future certainly seems a bright one. Of course it must be understood that In the past it has been almost entirely a grazing country. Many things connected with its agricultural development are stiff, in their infancy, and these problems are being worked out by the experiment station con­ nected with the university. I saw Prof. Nelson, the botanist of the sta­ tion, and he said extended experiments were being carried on to determine the beet varie­ ties of grain, vegetables, and small fruits adapted to the country. So far as many of the common grains are concerned the matter seems to have passed the experimental stage and as a grazing proposition the stock now on the range answers that question. Tne horses and cattle, of which one may see thousands, have passed the winter entirely with­ out shelter or protection of any kind and no feed save the pasture, yet are in as good con­ dition as like stock upon the average farm here. The range horses are the finest I ever saw and the cattle (mostly grade Hereford*) show that much has been done in the way of breeding up. 1 brought back specimens of oats and barley raised on the “ghost" ranch that are certainly fine, much heavier than similar grains raised here. I examined some oats that had been cut green for bav and most of the heads seemed about a foot long. One measured IS Inches.. ’ In company with two others I attempted to reach Bell's ranch concerning which I beard much from the outset. Our driver evidently knew little about the country and insisted upon retracing our journey when still seven miles short of our destination. Fortunately, however, 1 met Mr. Bell afterward in Laramie and he confirmed some of the remarkable stories afloat concerning bis crops, for instance raising 137 bushel; of oatfl to the acre. When I ask him bow tall. these oats grew, mechanically extending my hand, somewhat above the height of an oat crop here, be said: “Bless you, don’t hold your band down there, put it up here,” raising bis band above my head. One thing he told me may interest you. He said he bought a half section adjoining his ranch, a tract that be could conveniently irrigate with the facilities be bad. He broke this up and sowed it to oats and this first crop paid for the land (ten dollars per acre) all the cost of raising and harvesting the same ana left a surplus of 8700. Of course , I cannot vouch for any of his statements but be seemed frank and not a man built on the “hot air” plan. I have no reason to suppose that be bss any connection with the com­ pany you represent, though of course be will be greatly benefited by the development of the valley. In parting be said, “I invite you to visit my ranch next August when I will show you 1200 acres in oats and barley and I think I can convince you that we can raise something up here. In conclusion,_if any of your clients are Interested in this proposition I advlre them not to attempt to see It through my eyes or anyone's else but go and look for' themselves. People do not always see things, alike. To mb it appears that a young man with some bustle in him could hardly make a mistake in grasping this opportunity, at least if 1 were back again to that period in life 1 should like nothing better than to try it. To one who has seen nothing of this western country the trip is certainly worth the whole price of admission, as the clown would say. while as to the treatment received enroute certainly no man can complain. He is furnished a berth in a standard Pullman and meals in the dining car where if be is a fairly good “feeder” be must curb his appetite to keep bis bill down to the dollar mark. Heretofore when I have traveled I have been compelled to pay my own bills and take care of myself and it seemed mighty good to have some one along to attend to these little details. I shall travel after that fashion ex­ clusively hereafter. Hastily and truly, ------- ■ Enoch Andrus. REAL ESTATE AND INVESTMENT BROKER. .I--- . BOWENS .MILLS.

The infield zork was fast and snappy20 put outs and four double plays be­ ing made at or near the bags. Jimmy Hines, who has deft Adrian to take his old post at third for the home team, took everything that came his way. Cadwallader had more than the us­ ual number of put outs in left garden.

This was a very peculiar cloud, a dark and lowering cen­ ter, but with a silvery lining and in the center of the cloud the one word “JOHNSTON” The Trust saw this cloud but passed it by calling it a freak. That year I sold four Johnston ma chines. The cloud has continued to grow and this year may be seen in all parts of Barry county with these words Johnston Machines, Not In The Trust** The trust has seen it and begin to ‘-sit up and take notice”, for they know there is going to be a storm. There is a rustling already heard of ten Johnston machines sold so far this season. Here are some of the rules that do it: Thou shalt not wait to be told what thou shall do, nor in what manner thou shalt do it Thou shalt not fail to maintain thine own integrity. Thou shalt not be afraid to blow thine own horn, for he who fails to blow his owS-horn will find nobody ready to blow it for him Thou shalt give every man a square deal.

Tew & Sons’ Store, Lake Odessa, Mich. Hundreds of people have visited our store since we opened our great Sacrifice ♦ Sale, and they all went home happy with the Bargains. WHY? Because we ♦ . have done just as we have advertised. Remember this Sale will continue until | Saturday, July 11, so you better follow the crowds to our store and get yoUr share of the bargains. This is the chance of a lifetime to get brand new Merchandise for LESS THAN THE COST OF THE RAW MATERIAL The Story and Who We Are The Chicago Brokerage, Co. of Chicago, are the largest merchandise brokers in the world. We handle merchandise of all kinds and turn the same into cash in a given time. Messrs. E. C. Tew & Sons are Lake Odessa’s oldest and most reliable merchants, holding an enviable reputation for lair dealing and straightforwardness in business, Messrs. E. C. Tew & Sons couldf by a long drawn out sale, reduce their stock by a nominal sum, but prefer placing it in the hands of a reliable concern that will deal with the people as they would themselves. Therefore this great stock has been placed in our hands to turn into cash in "10 DAYS ONLY. This stock is known all over Central Michigan as the best selected Clothing, Furnishings, Hats, Dry Goods, Shoes, etc, stock in the country, and it looks like a shame to slaughter these elegant goods. BUT WE MUST REDUCE THIS STOCK And when the Chicago Brokerage Co. gets hold of a big stock like this, it simply uses'the knife and cuts prices so low that no person of intelligence can afford to stay away. . , • .. > ... , - PRICES CUT TO A WHISPER Best Standard Print ■ it Per yard.............................................................

The oil level is located be­ low tbe top of the wick tube so-that there is no danger of the oil running over and flooding tbe stove. By an ingenious de­ vice. it is impossible to turn the wick up too high, so there is never any danger of smoke. There is absolutely no danger of an explosion. There is nothing about tbe stove to get out of order, and as they bum KEROSENE instead of gasoline they are perfectly safe. The New Process makes a hotter flame than any other. You can bake bread, cakes, pies, etc. to per­ fection. You can bake potatoes in 30 minutes. A cooking utensil can be placed in direct contact with the flame and there will be no soot.

Yankee • \ Grange held a picnic on ’« at the head, of h„t , ■ For several months past the farmers of Barry county have been very busy—too busy in fact to pay much attention to any outside propositions. They are entitled to a good vacation, and nothing would do them more good than to take a nice trip through the great and growing west; “touch elbows" with other people; see how they “do things;" see the land, the country, the crops. Such trips “broaden men" out and give them a better idea of their own country, the advantages of which we all too little appreciate. “Life is what we make it." If you always stay at home; never go anywhere; never see anything new outside of the small confines of your daily routine, you soon Get in a Rut. People who get ahead in the world are not the ones who have gotten In a rut. The ones who makes the greatest success are those who get out in the world and see things, compare them with their every day surroundings, and take advantage of the opportunities offered. Now I would like to have every man in Barry County who wishes to better his condition, take in this consideration u change In the color of the ships of war. the suggestion having been made that there b»- a return to the slate-color used In time of war as being the most In­ conspicuous.

Up to three years ago the BANNER, was printing an eight{>age paper, six columns to the page and each column 20 inches ong. For the past year or two we have been running 12 to 16 pages each week, seven columns to the page, and each column 22 inches long. That means that to-day the BANNER, is giving its readers Double The Value for the same money, that we used to give them. And this in view of the fact that print paper and everything entering into the cost of getting out a newspaper has greatly increased. Coming direct from the county seat it gives all the news fresh, and covers all the other parts of the county thoroughly by correspondence. Why People Want The BANNER let—It gives all tbe local news. 2nd—It covers every part of the county by correspondence. 3rd—It is the Auction Sale medium for the people of Barry County, and even the adjoining counties practically every sale being advertised in the BANNER. 4th—Its Want Column is the medium of exchange for people all over Barry County and brings buyers sellers and traders together. 5th—The BANNER is ont of the class of ordinary weekly newspaper, and is recognized by trade jour­ nals as one of the leading weeklies in the country. No countrj- weekly in Michigan covers its field as thoroughly as the BANNER. ' ■ 6th—Its Farm and Poultry page alone is well worth the price of the paper. ’' thc'paper. 7th—The leading merchants all over Barry County use its advertising columns to acquaint readers and patrons with the bargains they are offering. The advertising columns of the BANNER will be found as interesting as the news features. ■ 8th—doing to press one day earlier than any other paper the BANNER gets the news to the people earlier than any other paper. 9th—These are the reasons why over 20.000 people in Barry County read the BANNER thoroughly every week. 10th—The price still remains at $1.00 per year.

The HIGHEST STANDARD ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 4 4 a of QUALITY is none too good when it comes to paint. " e The job for painting St. Rose’s Catholic Church in this city was let to Frank W. Smith, the painter, of this city. When he figured on the job it was estimated that it would take 30 GALLONS of paint. Mr. Smith bought 25 GALLONS but HE ONLY USED 18 GALLONS of DEVOE PAINT to give TWO COATS to the large St. Rose’s Church, the picture of which is herewith shown. Go and look at the job and see for yourself how DeVob Paint covers and how it spreads. Mr. Smith, who painted the building, has no hesitation in saying that “DeVoe is the best paint ever put in a can. ’’ PAINT FACTS ♦ + > + + + A T J ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ + + + + Your buildings do not need paint to make them “look pretty.” They do need it to preserve the wood from de­ cay. When you paint you want the best there is. . Cheap paint is an abomination and a cu rse— especially to the user of it. It costs just as much to put on poor paint as it does the best, and very often costs more. This is one reason why you should buy the best. The cost of repainting over poor paint, whether you use good paint or not, is greater than if you had used the good paint first. The first coat gets to the wood. The second coat has to go on the first. HISTORY OF DEVOE PAINT The manufacture of DeVoe Paint commenced in New York in 17-ld K a kivclnocc a r-ftncfnnt omoHk city in 1754. The business has enjoyed a constant growth from that day to this, and at the end of 154 years finds the DeVoe factory the largest paint-making establishment in the world, and one of the oldest continuous businesses in the country. But mere age is not always a sign of wisdom. A man who lives to be 100 years old is seldom remarkable for anything else. But more than 150 years of steady growth of a business house that is LAKGEK, STRONGER., GREATER to-day than ever before is a proof of merit. Inferiority never survives. The age, magnitude and experience of the manufacturers of DeVoe Paint are of advantage to every user of paint. It is a guarantee The J.S. Goodyear Go Two Big SPECIALS for Ten Days-July 9 to 18.

The proportion in which these are mixed is the result of the exper­ ience of more than 150 years of successful paint manufacture. Those who use DeVoe paint once are its stead­ fast friends. If you are going to do any painting you will find DeVoe paint the best, the cheapest and most enduring of any made. Let us figure with you. FRED L.

This was a very peculiar cloud, a dark and lowering cen­ ter, but with a silvery lining and in the center of the cloud the one word “JOHNSTON” The Trust saw this cloud but passed ’ it by calling it a freak. That year I sold four Johnston ma­ chines. The cloud has continued to grow and this year may be seen in all parts of Barry county with these words “Johnston Machines, Not In The Trust” The trust han seen it and’ begin to ‘‘sit up and take notice", for they know there is going to be a storm. There is a rustling already heard of ten Johnston machines sold so far this season. Here are some of the rules that do it: . Thou shalt hot wait to be told what thou shalt do, nor in what manner thon shalt do it Thou shalt not fail to maintain thine own integrity. Thou shalt not be afraid to blow tlune own horn, for he who fails to blow his own horn will find nobody ready to blow it for him. Thou shalt give every man a square deal.

If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the "irrepressible kid" soon put them ont 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 few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a ' desire to buy articles for less than they were worth..-'Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Sale advertisments draw people from all over the county and we have advertised many sales at which people have been present from bvbrt township in the county. They were present because articles were advertised that they wanted and they come prepared toT)id. The Larger The Crowd, the Livelier the Bidding Always. THE BANNER'S METHOD el advttitlng Auction Salas has bean sndorssd. Ist-By the State Association of Auctioneers. 2nd-By all the leading Auctioneers of Barry County. 3rd-By all Auctioneers in other Counties where the same method has been pursued. . Any printing office can print auction sale bills, but only a paper having a large general circulation, such as the BANNER has can SUCCESSFULLY ADVERTISE1 AN AUCTION SALE that Will bring RESULTS; The BANNER is now -printing 45,00 papers each week and covers the County -‘like a blanket.” We wonld be pleased to hear from anyone contemplating having an Auction Sale and we will mail to them one of onr booklets, con­ taining 16 pages of information and suggestions on conducting an Auction Sale. You should not fail to secure one of these booideta if you contemplate holding a sale. Ito suggestions will mean larger and better results irom your sale.

Every man has the handsomest wife, in his own opinion-hut opinions may differ somewhat. It's just the same way with Flour. Every manufact­ urer will, of course, claim that his product is the Best, no matter what its merits—if it has any. ♦ WANTS “THE BEST FOR THE MONEY STORE1 ANY ODD SUIT tWe STORE there is anything useful >-ou want to buy. place an adv. in the BANNER’S WANT COLUMN. t But Right Here Is Where You J t Must Use JUDGMENT! !| 1st—It stands to reason that Flour made in a mill that runs 24 hours every day the year a­ round is- a better flour than that made in any mill that runs ten hours a day and remains idle the other fourteen hours. DON'T YOU THINK SO? 2nd—The steadier the power in a flouring mill, the SMOOTHER, and more uniform the product. Water power is the most even power known. As long as the water flows you have the same even power. 3rd—Now you take a mill that is run night and day the year round, and that is run by water power and you have the highest combina­ tion of efficiency for producing THE VERY BEST FLOUR. 4th—If in addition to all of these exceptional advantages, you have 35 YEARS of continued success in the manufacture of flour, you have a record that is difficult to excel. These advant­ ages, combined with the experience are certain to manifest themselves in the QUALITY of the flour. The above is a brief recital of the superior advantages and qualities of French’s White Lily TT1 x-xs w “THE -FLOUR THE r lOUr= ==BEST COOKS USE.” It’s made of the best selected grains, in a mill that runs night and day the year round, and in a mill operated by ‘ water power. It has a successful record of 35 years ex­ perience. The result shows itself in the HIGH QUAL­ ITY OF FLOUR. A trial sack will make you its stead­ fast friend.

It Is-the . “NEW PROCESS” 4 4 4 4 Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook Stove The "New Process Wick Bine Flame Oil Cook Stoves are safer to operate than an ordinary lamp. The oil level is located Gelow the top of the wick tube so that there is no danger of the oil running over and flooding the stove. By an ingenious de­ vice. it is impossible to turn' the wick up too high, so there is never any danger of smoke. There is absolutely no danger of an explosion. There is nothing about the stove to get ont of order, and as they burn KEROSENE instead of gasoline they are perfectly safe. The New Process makes .a hotter flame than any other. Yon can bake bread, cakes, pies, etc. to per­ fection. You can bake potatoes in So minutes. ' A cooking utensil can be placed in direct contact with the flhmc and there will be no soot. The "New Process" is a complete success; very economical, and perfectly safe. Just the thing for hot weather. Call and see one/ We guarantee them.

We will leave Chica= go that evening on our OWN SPECIAL TRAIN of Pullman sleepers over the Chicago and North­ western R. R. to Omaha; and from Omaha over the main line of the Union Pacific to Laramie, Wy­ oming. We go straight through from Chicago to Laramie, with NO CHANGE OF CARS either going or coming. Our special train of sleepers have dining cars attached. If you go on this FREE HOME SEEKER’S EXCURSION it will not cost you a cent from the time you leave Hastings until you return. You will be jjiven free transportation; the best of Pullman Sleeping Car Accommodations; and the best of Dining Car Service. Arriving at the Big Laramie River Valley you will be taken over the lands in the Big Laramie River Valley in automo­ biles, and furnished with the best of meals at the Ranch houses on the Company lands. ALL THIS WILL BE FURNISHED YOU WITHOUT ONE CENT OF EXPENSE TO YOU FROM THE TIME YOU LEAVE HASTINGS UNTIL YOU RETURN. We do all this because we want you to see the irrigated farm lands in the Big Laramie River Valley. We want everybody to thoroughly understand that they are. not UNDER ANY OBLIGATIONS TO BUY ANY OF THIS LAND. You will be just as wel• come whether you buy or not, and YOU WILL NOT BE URGED TO BUY. All we want is for you to GO AND SEE THIS LAND; all we ask is for you to BELIEVE JUST WHAT YOU CAN SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES, THEN USE YOUR OWN JUDG­ MENT. That is our only reason for providing such an exceptional opportunity for making this trip. ■ * . . 't What This Trip Will Mean to You! 1st—It will certainly be an enjoyable outing for you. after a season’s hard work. / 2nd—It will give you an opportunity to see a good portion of the western country that perhaps you have never visited. 3rd—It will give you a better idea of your own country; you can "touch elbows” with people from other states; in short it will be an educator —and travel is one of the very best educators. . 4th—You can see.for yourself what OPPORTUNITIES the western country offers for any man in good health and willing to hustle. We know that you will be most pleasantly surprised, as are all who have never visited these irrigated lands before. You will be inclined to regard the first settlers in the Big Laramie River Valley as you would think of the early pioneers in this county; that the "clearing up” of these irrijgated farms means "endless labor;” that the pioneers in the Big Laramie Valley would have to go miles to market; and the children of settlers would be deprived of all school advantages. In other words one is naturally disposed to compare present settlers in the Big Laramie Valley with the "Old Pioneers” of Barry County and Michigan. One trip to these lands will disabuse your mind of any such ideas. You will find the settlers in the Big Laramie Valley enjoying practically all of the advantages that the farmers of this county enjoy, and in many instances the advantages are in their favor. All of the lands in our Big Laramie River Valley tract are within five miles of the main line of the Union Pacific railroad, which runs directly through the center of our tract. Solid vestibuled trains are within sight of every settler at almost any hour of the day. The State University of Wyoming is located in Laramie, within a few miles of our property and affords exceptional school advantages for all. YOUNG MAN 0 You who have your own future to make, can you afford to farm high priced land in this county, or in this state when you can buy the best irrigated land on earth for one-third of what good land here will cost you. and on which you can raise two or three times as much per acre as you can here and with less than one-half the labor. Irrigation gives you ideal conditions, and crops are SURE and PERFECT; no FLOODS, no DROUTHS. You are master of the situation. You are your own “weather man” and can make it rain or not, just as your crops need it. Be a Landlord—Not a Tenan . Remember the "Early Bird.” Get busy. The wonderful increase In the population of this country; the demand for good farm land; the fact that practically all the good land in this country is taken; and especially the great productiveness of the soil in the Great Laramie Valley, and the fact that thl. irrigated land can be bought cheap NOW make It an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that the price is BOUND TO INCREASE RAPIDLY. The Big Laramie Valley Is THE NEWEST LAND OF PROMISE; IT'S A LAND WORTH LOOKING AT. It was opened tor settlement 60 days ago, and nearly ONE QUARTER of it has already been sold. If you Intend doing anything about It you had better act spon. You will never have a better opportunity to make a home where a delightful, healthy climate and the richest, and most productive soil in this country are so happily blended and in a beautiful valley whose prospect of rivers, lakes and forest clad hills and mountains is alway almost fascinating.

Up to three years ago the BANNER, was printing an eightpage paper, six columns to the page and each column 20 inches long. For the past year or two we have been running 12 to 16 pages each week, seven columns to the page, and each column 22 inches long. That means that to-day the BANNER is giving its readers Double The Value for the same money, mat we used to give them. And this in view of the fact that print paper and everything entering into the cost of getting out a newspaper has greatly increased.

The small water malas which run into the outskirts of the city are Inadequate for fire protection. .

Tbe oil level is located $e­ low the top of the wick tube so that there is no danger of tbe oil running over and flooding the stove. By an ingenious de vice, it is impossible to turn the wick up too high, so there is never any danger of smoke. There fa absolutely no danger of an explosion. There is nothing about the stove to get out of order, and as they burn KEROSENE instead of gasoline they are perfectly safe. The New Process makes a hotter flame than any other. You ran bake bread, cakes, pies, etc. to per­ fection. You can bake potatoes in 30 minutes. A cooking utensil can be placed in direct contact with the flam- und there will be no soot. The "New Process" is a complete success; very economical, and perfectly safe. Just the thing for hot weather. Call and see one. We guarantee them. k ft, WATSON OUR MOTTO: GOODYEAR BROS Hardware and Implement Dealers 206-208-210 Main St. it . lb lb I $ , ‘X'"”;1 Hastings.

The-textile mills In banks are, of course, opposed to any plan which would give the state, bunks any advantage over them as saving depositories. This class may be put down as a unit in opposing the plan. An attempt to find any considerable portion of the state bankers outside of the big cities who urc opposing the plan was unavailing. The great ma­ jority of this class of Banking - Commissioner has already announced, considering the idea, a: means disposed to oppose The sole argument used against the plan of a state guarantee of deposits is that It is a step toward socialism and paternalism In government. This argument, howler, is theoretical and academic and will give way to a prac­ tical demonstration of tangible bene­ fits which may be secured through the operation of such a law. The people nt large are not afraid of an experiment which promises them add­ ed security for their savings merely because it tends toward paternalism. This argument is also met by the state bankers with the statement that Inasmuch os the republican party has declared In its national platform for postal savings banks, the direct bene­ ficiaries under which would be the national banks alone, there exists no good reason why the statu should not display a "similar Interest in the suc­ cess and stability of banking institu­ tions operating under a state charter. It should not be overlooked that this is a question which will not be de­ cided by the bankers of the state, but by the- depositors in the saving banks, and it is yet to be demonstrated that the laboring man. whose savings each week, or each month, go into a sav­ ings bank, can be frightened from support of a plan devised to give greater security to his deposits by the New York and New England are now running Ifull 'time.

There is.therefore every rea­ son tn bUllove that when the erpected shall happen and Taft^e elected to the presidency, that general conflderice will bring about a revival of the times experienced from 1896 to 1907, But every vofcer who wishes for the return of good time? should help to elect the man and policies that will restore prosperity.

How t> train ran over a cow with­ out being derailed, is a marvel which Is being discussed by employes of the Fruit Belt line. As a passenger train came speeding round a curve a cow came up out of the bushes nnd leaped In front of the on-rushing locomotive. Instead of being thrown aside by the pilot, the animal was ground beneath the wheels of the train which passed over the body before the brake could halt the train. The railway line at this ’ point da not fenced, ’and cattle frequently graze along the track. A little girl, who was drlvlpg the cow home from pasture wax seen by train men running across the fields toward her home crying loudly.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S attitude on the question of irrigating the arid regions of the west is too well known to need any recount­ ing; sumcient to say that the question has appealed to him so strongly that It has commanded paragraph after paragraph in his messages to Congress. Probably no man In public life today Is more intimately ac­ quainted with the western country, its needs, and possibilities than he. Under his administration more than ocyENTT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS have been appropriated to irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres in the western states of our country. 3 Do You Suppose for a Single Moment that the President Went Into this Question with His ELyes Shut ? • You know, and everyone ought to, thatxhe isn’t built on that plan. In advocating this immense expenditure; in appealing to Congress through his messages favoring Irrigation, he had nothing but the welfare of the country at heart. With an eye to the future, he knew that practically every acre of available farming land in the United States has been taken up, and that the only way to provide for our rapidly increasing population was to provide more land suitable for agricultural purposes. In the great west there were hundreds of thousands of acres of the very richest land on earth that needed only the magic touch of water to make it produce from four to six times as much per acre as the very richest land, in the country. There were great streams of water uselessly flowing by to the ocean. Why not follow the teachings and experience that came down through more than 4000 years and IRRIGATE. The proposition appealed to President Roosevelt as being thoroughly sensible, and so practical, so important, and so necessary to the future growth and development of our country as to command his attention in his messages to Congress, and in his public speeches. I am aware that there are a very few “wise heads” in this vicinity, who have never made a success of anything, who do not know anything from personal experience outside of Barry County, because they have never been beyond its limits and the highest elevation they ever aspired to or reached, was the top of a dry goods box where they sit and industriously whittle and settle great problems of state, and discuss business propositions ' with which they are as unfamiliar as they are with work. I am aware that these “wise heads” have become the “self appointed guardians” of the public, and between squirts of tobacco juice give vent to a lot of uncomplimentary remarks about the question of irrigation. But compare their vapid remarks with the expressions of President Roosevelt and Jas. J. Hill, the greatest railroad magnate, and the actions of our National legislative bodies in appropriating millions of dollars for irrigation projects, only after the fullest investigation and discussion, and the gloomy foreboding and predictions of the “wise ones” pass into utter insignificance.^ ■ YOU WILL AGREE, WITH ME 1st—That any land in the United States, in a healthy location, that will grow good crops is worth the price. 2nd—That the land that will grow the greatest crops year after year is worth the most money, locations being equally as good. If the two above propositions are true, and even the “wise heads” cannot dispute them, then the Irrigated Lands in the Big Laramie Kiver Valley Are Really Worth Three to Five Times as much as the Very Best Lands in Michigan Because Government Reports, and Reports at the Experimen­ tal Station of the University of Wyoming Show that One Acre of Irrigated Land in the Big Laramie River Valley Will Produce from 3 to 5 Times as Much as One Acre in Ohio, Illinois or Michigan. We confidently believe that it is Actually Worth that much, and that it will be only a question of a very few years when it will be selling from ‘ $100 to $300 per acre as does irrigated land in other sections. Remember that this land in the Big Laramie River Valley was not opened for settle­ ment until MAY 7th of this year. You can buy the land now for from ONE QUARTER to ONE HALF of what you would have to pay for good land here. NOAV IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY. It won’t be open to you very long, because the land is selling very rapidly-one quarter of it has already been sold. The way to make money is to “Buy when you can buy cheap.” You certainly will never be able to buy cheaper than you can right now. Ten years from now a quarter section of this land will be worth a good sized fortune. We don’t want you to “buy a pig in a poke.” We want Every Buyer to see just what he is getting We take you from Hastings to the Big Laramie Valley and return to Hastings without it costing you a single penny. Thats what we do for you so that you can fully investi­ gate before you buy.

We found the buildings of Ancient Rome much better preserved than those of Ancient Athens but nothing Inspired us quite so much ab did the Parthenon. As Rome was much larger than Ath­ ens. so were the buildings. Massive­ ness charncterixrs all the aneknt structures and thta I* perpetuated to the present day In the many large ■churches. The arch of Constantine k nearly perfect ns ta also the Pantheon and Mole of Hardrlan. The tombs Jon the Appian and Latin Ways are much tn ruin. The old wnlta of the city from Servius' time down can still be seen tho for the most part destroyed and replaced. Th. columns of Trojan and Marcus Aurelius still remain tn good preser\ation but figures of St. Paul and Peter now adorn their tops and . Jhelr buses bear Papal inscriptions. The whole city tn fact- bears evidence of the long years of Papal rule. Every Ancient Roman structure has n marble tablet be aring the name'of some Pope Interted in It. Thta in many cases has resulted -in the preservation of the bu!lding.and no doubt accounts for the fact that the buildings in Rome are . better preserved than those tn Greece. Sunday. May 24th. we were very for­ tunate in being able to visit the Royal service in St. Peters. The Palace proved to be magnificent and the paintings in tho"many rooms are moat excellent The cut glass candelabra were especially fine. The Rrd Thorne Room, blue Ambassador’s Room, and Md Dining Room were very beautiful •and rich as was also the tastefully ap­ pointed k-uth»r Smoking Room. Tho cushions of the throne itself looked much Worn nnd sat upon, otherwise the fumtahlags were splendid. The members of the Royal Family appear frequently upon tha streets, nnd we were fortonute in mooting Dowager Queen Marghnrtta as she was driving In her auto guarded by three men on bicycL-s.

Aloug^wjth many thousands we waited In St, Peter* for nn hour and a bnlf for Hta Holiness to make nn oppearaned. but the time was well occu­ pied watching the many cardinals and other high functionaries.. An aisle about 12 feet wide was fenced off from one end of the church to the other and guarded by two lines of soldier* and officers. Along thta aisle, the crowd Hf 2 to 20 deep pressed to jjet n ROcfa view n:- the procession passed, The door of the entrance chapel guarded by about ten Swiss Guards In their yellow, black and red uni­ forms.

LOWRY, -------------- Submits Hls Record as Public .Official I . . Office Hours, afternoons I to 5 As Basta of Candidacy for Pro- - J. G. McGUFFLN M. p, Offlee and EesMence -.to South Cbuirh st 4s the people of Barry county Well understand. I was named by the Gov­ ernor of this state to fill the balance of the term of the late Judge Mills as probate judge of Barry county. Four years ago my candidacy for the posi­ tion of probate judge was submitted to the voter* of thta county at the j election, held that year. They were; more than kind to me. giving me a majority, of nearly 1800. I have endeavored to fill the office with care and fidelity. If I have failed in my duty to the widow und orphan,, whose Interests it has been my supreme desire to protect, the failure has not been due to lack of apprecla- ' tlon of the sacredness of ths trust re- ’ posed tn me. nor to a desire to do les* than my best for every one of the sevural hundred estate* that have beerrprobat.-d while 1 have filled thta important office. I have surely tried to do my duty by every one who has had business with the probate judge during my Incumbency of that office.; and to give every z_one a“ "square deal" l ..^ 1— has been my purpose in every,Instance. I submit my candidacy to the re­ publican voter* of Barry county on the record I have', made. You know whether . it has been satisfactory to you or not. You know whether I have met your expectation* a* a pub­ lic official. The office of probate judge Is one of great importance to th- people, and one that ha* to do with the most sacred of property right*. While ,1 have filled fhl* office. I have had to probate estates aggregating over two millions of dollar* In value, and to determine the property rights of sev­ eral thousand* of claimants. To deal with all these equitably ta not a light matter: but I have endeavored to do *o fairly to al! interest* concerned. How well I have succeeded I leave to the deliberate judgment of the peo­ ple of Barry county. But if I have succeeded. surely the experience gained must be of some value to the people, ahd surely my intimate knowl­ edge of th<>.detail of the hundred* of estate* still pending settlement ought to be of value. It will be my endeav­ or if nominated nnd elected to give service. I am very thankful for paM * favprs. I shall greatly appreciate a ^nomination, and if nominated I will do the best I am able to do for the people whose servant I will aim to be In all matter* pertaining to the ad­ ministration of the office of probate judge.

Auction Sale The BANNER’S method of advertising Auction Sales has been universally endorsed .by the people of Barry County and by those liv­ ing in adjacent counties who know how thoroughly the BANNER covers Barry County. We have testimonials from many of our patrons who realized from $100 to $700 more than they expected from their Auction Sales. Large Crowds ■"ttSW' WHY? wife. Ist-Because the BANNER is read in nearly every, home in Barry County. . A 2nd-Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in tbeir own homes at times when they have the time and dis­ position to read them. 3rd-Becauee the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered; It the dates are forgotten tbe BANNER cab be readily secured and the dates 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 few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Sale advertisments draw people from all over the county and we have advertised mauy sales at which people have been present from every township in the county. They were present because articles were advertised that TH«t wanted and they come prepared to bid.

The BANNER is now printing 4,500 papers each week and covers the Connty “like a blanket.” We would be pleased to hear from anyone contemplating having an Auction Sale and we will mail to them one of our booklets, con­ taining 16 pages of information and suggestions on conducting an AuctionlSale. You should not fail to secure one of these booklets if you contemplate holding a sale. Its suggestions will mean larger and better results irom your sale.

Is caused by the immense accumulations of ice along the Canadian shore of the Axtic Ocean, and especially in Baffin* Land and Greenland. The incalculable weight of the mass is, by force of gravity, slowly pushing the crust of the earth, and consequently the north pole and the arctic circle generally over towards Siberia, where there are no Immense accumulations of glacial Ice to counteract the movement. The result is that North America and Europe are becoming warmer and Si­ beria and Asia general!^ colder. Elect Right Men to the Legislators.

IDLE MONEY IS UNPROFITABLE MONEY because it is doing neither yon nor any one else any good. Intact it is a positive injury because it is kept out of the channels of trade and makesit-that much scarcer. Money boarded at home is hoarded at great risk, and the ones so doing are always liable to lose it through fire, burglary, or perhaps in some other way. The keeping of large sums, of money; a round tbe hon e or on the person, has led to some of the most brutal crimes ever known. Why not deposit your money here?

H. Osborn �MISTER FARMER, , a^?e-k or past !t has b°en Pretty HOT. You know that in many places throughout adJ°,n,n8 states farmers are complaining of their late crops being damaged; leaves htu: hav® eommeneed to “roll;” potatoes and beans are not developing; fall pasture is shortened. This will probably mean that where you should have got 100 bushels of corn you will now u ♦ 5 lnst®ad °’ 8®** ’n8 an average crop of potatoes you will only get a half crop, and so on.^Jlf this hot spell continues your returns will be far less than what I have stated above. You Know It All Depends Upon The Weather, And You Are Helpless. If this weather continues your crops will be practically destroyed. It's a matter of LUCK, with you as it is with every farmer in a country depending upon rainfall. When the elements are favorable it's all right; when the weather isn't favorable (which, YOU KNOW, is very often) then it's all off. How would you like to have a nice stream of water running through your farm which you could tap at any hour of the day now, and water your crops? It v^puld be worth something to you, wouldn't it? It would make your farm more valuable, wouldn’t it? That's one of the reasons why The Irrigated Farm Lands in the Big Laramie River Valley are bound to be worth much more than the very best and highest priced farm lands in Michigan or any other state depending upon rainfall. You are MASTER, of the situation at every turn. You can make it rain at any time you wish; you can stop it whenever you want to. Such a thing as crop failure was never known in the Big Laramie River Valley, and it never will be Known as long as the Big and Little Laramie Rivers flow, and as long as the waters from melting snow in the mountains can be stored in the mountain reservoirs as they are now. Another reason why the land in the Big Laramie Valley is bound to increase rapidly in value is that it is MUCH RICHER than the soil here. With the best of soil and the absolute control of water for your crops, you have a combination that cannot be beaten. It's sure, safe and certain. And did you ever stop to think that farmers in every community depending upon rainfall suffer from TOO MUCH RAIN as well as from TOO LITTLE? And it’s very rare when you have a season that's just right. To any young or middle aged man, wishing to make a home for him­ self and to better his condition, the irrigated lands in the Big Laramie Valley present an opportunity that has no equal. ' - ... J ' • ». • I- ' ■ • . THE LOCATION The Irrigated land which I represent is within a few miles of Laramie, Wyoming, a city of 10,000 or 12,000 population and growing rapidly. This land is irrigated from the Big and Little Laramie rivers, with several large lakes in the mountains for reservoirs, all of which can be tapped for irrigation purposes should it ever be needed—which is very doubtful. Thus far this year it has not been necessary to irrigate on account of the rainfall which this year has been sufficient for the crops. One thing is certain and that is that there is enough water to be had in the Big Laramie Valley to irrigate several times as much land as there is in this valley. This alone insuresthe permanency of the Big Laramie Valley as a great grain and stock producing section. Please Note These Facts from the Year Book the United States Department of Agriculture: Average Yield Per Acre in States of Illinois, Ohio and Wyoming Wheat Oats Barley Potatoes . . . 50 to 70 bushels 70 to 135 “J 60 to 140 “ 300 to 600 “ 18 bushels 32 “ 30 “ 107 “ 17 bushels 29 30 72 . WYOMING OHIO ILLINOIS .j a These figures may seem almost incredible to you, but go on our next excursion and see for yourself. Time was only a few years ago that Denver, Colorado, was considered as being way, way west, and the one who made a trip there was regarded as something of a “globe trotter.” Now the center of our population is fast moving towards that city. Laramie is only 120 miles from Denver, and many great cities are springing up rapidly in the west making an excellent market for all grain products. The main line of the great Union Pacific Railroad runs right through our irrigated farm lands in the Big Laramie Valley. In fact none of our land is more than five miles from this great railroad system. Four or five town sites have been located on our lands and in a short time thriving little towns will spring up and make more good market places. • • R^^k^ it rlnn't cost vou a penny to visit the Irrigated Lands in the Big Laramie Valley, Wyoming. There are only 48 sections more of this land to be sold. I want a lot more of Barry County People to “get in” on this deal.

But call at my store and get your wire fence again this year. 1 am selling more wire fence than any other dealer in the county. There is a reason for it. I am selling the “LYON” fence which is the best wire fence sold in the county. This fence has a double tie, one which holds the tie in place so it cannot slide, and becomes tighter as the fence is drawn up. The other forever settles the fence problem with the fanner, as he will have nothing but “Lyon” fence after he has once used it Please call at the store of . W.

In active, dally service on his farm is a yoke ofMxen. a span of horses, a span of mules und an auto­ mobile. The right of these is a for­ cible reminder of the wonderful pro­ gress made in transportation and cdr» riage since pioneer days, when the oxen were the sole locomotive power. Here Is seen the gradual evolution from the ox to the hors«-. the mule and the automobile, a change In sev­ enty-five, years never dreamed of by the first settlers of Michigan. The automobile is in dally use by Mr. Doubleday and family to and from the railroad station. Section men fought and put out eleven fires In one day along a rail­ road near Portland lost week, and they returned from their work almost exhausted. Every passing train start­ ed it new fire, three of which were serious. At one pjace only through the combined efforts of. farmers and sec­ tion men was a country' school house saved.

Of a STUDEBAKER Are Made Just Right The vital parts—and every part of the Studebaker wagon—are made just right That's way the Studebaker is the most economical—costs you less per year. They last longer—so the original coet is lees per year. They need fewer repairs—so the repair cost is lees per year—not to mention saving in time. They are lighter draft—so they cost yon less in horse flesh. Horses cost more than wagons; light draft saves horses. Studebaker wagons run more easily than .us, iu — others because each wheel is perfectly prop­ ortioned. with the.box L/WW/tN of the hub set in the exact center. The skein is so set that the wheel runs straight ahead under a load and cannot rnb, bind or grind on tbe skein. Studebaker hubs never hug either nnt or collar. That’s another reason why the Studebaker is of such wonderfully light draft. It makes hard loads easy for horses. 100 And it stands up under hand loads. Tbe Studebaker lias a carriioi capacity at least 40 per cent gratrf than that of the ordinary uagonThe skeins havel a, transfer­ strength 25 per cent greater tbu that required by the United States Government. Tbe axles are } ini’ll deeper tta others, and are made from selecw butt-cut Black Hickory, air-dneo from 3 to 5 years. The hubs are extra large mdunr eter—made from the best proourawe wood. JBb The famous Stud* baker slotie-shoulder SPusgsH spokes carry the l*rgest amount of ®ood into the bub. and are strongest where others are weakest.

The city Itself kfe very dean nnd beau­ tiful. and for a city of 450.000 It Is re­ markably quiet. It has nne of tbe largest and most beautiful public parks I have ever seen.

Every picture beers a tablet giving the name of th- paint er, the date of his birth and death, and th- name of the subject. Among many other,, the following are a few of those which We liked best: Barton’s ’•Repentant Magdalene." Hoffmanns "Christ In the Temple." Holy Night." Titian's “Venus,’’ and most famous of all.

We attended one evening and heard "The Maxon and the Smith" and "The Ridiculous Princesses,-- both light operas. The singing In these plays was very fine. A three hours' ride took us from Dresd-n to Berlin. This city, th- cap­ ital of th- German Empire, is one of the busiest cities In the world. The Streets are full of autos of nil kinds, cabs nnd omnibuses. "Unt-r d-n Lin­ den" Is the chief street and extends from the Royal Palace to th- "Bran­ denburg Thor.” It Is about a mile long with a wide walk between two row* of Linden trees Itrees about .the slxe and rexeinblirig closely our Pox Alders) and a drive on each side.

Th»- Thlergarten In B-rlln I* a won­ derful park Iwnutlfuliy laid out and decorated with many pieces of statu­ ary Charlottenburg lies across the ThSergarteu from Berlin, and here is the Mausoleum of Quern ixiulse. The structure. l(h*lf. Is small, square and very -plain nn the outxid». but the In­ side is most beautiful. In the center stands a large statue of an angel flooded in snft blue light, and behind are the five sarcophagi of Louise, her husband King Frederick Wilhelm III. Emperor Wilhelm I. and his wife Em­ press Augusta. This mausoleum com­ pares' very favorably with that of' General Grant nn account of th- re­ markable blue light and the sculp­ tured sarcophagi, but I* not nearly us large or beautiful, otherwise The Germans of Berlin are n mixed lot and speak many dialects. They are. too. very Independent and n<>t nearly as courteous as those In the other German cities. One hears the celebrated “Teh" spoken tn al! Its many pronunciations. In northern German?, the people are not nearly so good looking or remberg. The fields about Berlin arc mtich larger |,n<! <*>•• wheat looked es­ pecially good. From Berlin towards Holland the houses gradually dimin­ ish in«lxe. and the peaked gable roofs grow sharper and longer till thev4 nearly touch the ground. The broken gable roofs also appear, and. not In­ frequently. one- sees thatched roofs. Each farm also begins to have Its house contrary to the custom about Dresden where the farmers live In vil­ lages. The mbat shops of Germany are very attractive and one sees wurst in all its many* forma. The markets of Berlin are very reasonable Eggs sold for 18c and meat about the same as at home. Garnets are plentiful and very cheap In Dresden and Berlin. Game seems to be protected as the river In Berlin harbored many wild ducks. One meal market had the carcasw of a deer displayed and venison can be had at nearly any time of the year, under some regulation. Our greatest treat In Berlin was the grand opera ••Lohengrin" at the Roy­ al Opera House. The famous play was magnificently staged and most pleasingly executed. The singing, of course, was the best of all but the ap­ pearance of Lohengrin In his barge drawn by a huge lifelike swan was most charming. German? without Its Grand Opera Is like Rome without the ferrod a trip to Potsdam, the summer home of the Royal family, which Is really quite a pleasing trip, but as I did not take It. I cannot describe the sights. Amsterdam was reached after an eight hour’s ride with one change from Berlin. The train.was very fast and the best we have had In Europe. The Dutch customs were the easiest to pass dam. styled “a vulgar Venice" is built largely on piles, and is cut up by many foul smelling canals. The people were scrubbing the walks and houses all day long and still nothing looked very clean. However, we liked Am­ sterdam very much and In spite of Its evil smells, dampness and dirt. I pre­ fer It to -Venice ever so much. The pt'ople In the city are only about 10 per cent native Dutch and one gets along vefy well with either the- Dutch German. French or English language. Even-one is most courteous and will­ ing to Impart information. The shops are good, and linens and porcelains are the most attractive articles dis­ played. We took a most interesting fxcurnion to •itfnkcn Eiland" nnd the vil­ lage of Edam, famous for Its little round cheeses. This trip was made by steam cars, and steamers through the canals nnd on the Zuider Zee. Th* village of Marken Is on nn Island about 20 miles north .of Amsterdam, and on .account of th- quaint Dutch hooses and custumes pf Its Inhabitantfe Ar<dl worth a-visit. Here one sees the fish fleets, wooden shoes. Dutch knee breeches, and quaint head g-ar and hnir of the '.Dutch women. The houses can be "Aen. for a small tip, and everything laJDutcb life Inspected. Edam is a little farther north than Marken nnd interesting mMlnly for its chtese and Dutch customs The coun­ try between these villages and Amjd-rdam is a series of little canals nnd pastures. There are many sheep nilm d. nnd fine Holstein cows All the pastures. Windmills dot the country, and ateataed for nearly every purpose, but mainly for draining the lapd by derating the water from one ditch to another. Storks are quite frequently seen on the wing 'and on nests upon the tops of chimneys. . . (Continued next week.) The bardext seats In the world are those on Easy street.

Your work will be in such shape that you can leave for ONE WEEK just as well as not, and this trip will do you lots of good. No man, young or old, seeking to better his position in the world, and having the welfare of himself and family at heart can afford to stay at home all the time, and work and slave in an effort to make a little money. It's the poorest kind of economy, for while you may save a few dollars, if you keep your health, yet you are missing the golden opportunities that are ever open to those who get out in the world and see this great country, some of its people, and the way they "do things" in other places. It keeps you from getting in a rut, which is a sad condition for any man to get into. I have explained to you in previous advertisements how this trip will not Cost you one penny. The man who always stays at home, knows nothing but the narrow sphere in which he lives and is too apt to become self-satisfied, and think that all there is to life and opportunity is the narrow little circle that he knows. One trip will SHOW YOU. You certainly ought to be able to spend a week of your time if we will pay all of your expen­ ses from Hastings to the Big Laramie River Valley and return, which I will do. I do this because I want you to see this irrigated land and see the crops that it will raise and the opportunities that it offers to every hustling young man who is willing to work. Out of this large area of irrigated country in the Big Laramie Valley that was opened for settlement May 7th last (three months ago) only 48 sections of land remain . unsold. Barry County people have bought nearly ten thousand acres of this land after visiting it and thoroughly inspecting it. These are all men that you know, including such men as Enoch Andrus, Oscar Matthews, Jas. Matthews, Dan Erb, Elam Crook, Aaron Shultz, Ferel Replogle, George Replogle, Gus Wurm and many others that I might mention. You go anywhere through the west and you will find good irrigated farm land bringing all the way from $100 to $500, $1,000 and as high as $3,000 per acre. The irrigated land in the Big Laramie Valley in a very few years will be worth just as much as THE BEST there is, and I think will command a higher price because it is nearer the markets. The soil is just as rich, and there is water enough to guarantee an ample supply for all time to COH16. There are not only the waters of the Big and Little Laramie Rivers, which of themselves are sufficient, but there are also several large lakes and storage reservoirs for reserve supplies, which will probably never be needed or utilized, but which can be used if needed. Before irrigation was started in the Big Laramie Valley rains were very scarce. But the scattering of the water over the lands and the breaking up of the soil has increased the rainfall to such an extent that thus far this year it has been necessary to irrigate the land but once. And as irrigation continues the rainfall is bound to increase. This is but logical and is the experience of every portion of the country where irrigation is practiced. __ L _ , __ _ __ Here is a proposition I want to submit to every young or middle aged man with his future to make, and to every man with capital to invest:— Yon know that eood cheap farm lands are becoming very scarce. You know that they are BOUND to increase in value very rapidly. That is the 1 ooinion of President Roosevelt, Jas. J. Hill and other noted men. It cannot be otherwise owing to the RAPIDLY INCREASING population and the RAPIDLY DECREASING SUPPLY df farm land: Take any commodity where the DEMAND IS INCREASING and the SUPPLY IS nBCREASING and one thing is SURE TO HAPPEN and that is THE PRICE IS BOUND TO INCREASE.

To date not a alnglu voice in defense of "Boxer" Keyes has been heard, not eren that of Dr. J. B. Bradley, who lives in Keyes' district anM whose personal friend and supporter Keyes U.

The >attack upon Keyes and the challenge to the opposition to defend him if It dares constitutes the great­ est coupe de otat of the campaign. It puts Warner's principal opponent. Bradley, in a most uncomfortable and frying position. The latter dare not go to his friend’s support and de­ fense, since that involves'a defense of Keyes' course In the legislature, where he worked and voted against policies which have the well nigh universal support of public oplnlori in Michigan On the other hand, he cannot join Warner in denouncing Keyes' record without laying himself open to the charge of political ingratitude, since Bradley was chiefly responsible for Keyes' election to tbe senate. Such a course would also still further alienate from him practically the only organ­ ized support he is receiving, that of ' the "boxer” element in Michigan. • Charles M. Mack.

The bucks had met In deadly combat; their ant­ lers had become locked, and the> slowly starved to death.iwhllc the doe for which they fought went off and mated with another buck. Mr. woods, who Is an old hunter relates the fol­ lowing story about a combat he wit­ nessed: "Thirty years ago while hunt­ ing on the Au Sable river. I saw a doo and two bucks running towards me As they came opposite, not four rods away In the open Umber, the buck nearest the doc which was the .•’mail­ er of the two. whirled around, and at­ tacked the larger one. I had a single barrel'muzzle loading rifle. A* they fought so fast and furious It was Im­ possible for me to make a sure shot unUl the battle ended. The doe stop­ ped nnd watched the fight with appar­ ent interest Both bucks Yrertf large, but one much larger than the °“?erbut the smaller won the battle. They fought for fully ten minute*, jumping back and coming together with th* speed of lightning all the time whirl­ ing ubbut and seemingly trying to get in a knockout blow. Finally the small­ er buck got the other one partly down, jumped back and caught him In the side nearly ripping him open. The vanquished buck ran back for ° few rods nnd turning round saw his rival go after the doe. which had been a passive witness of the. fight for her । favor. I then shot the larger buck which had been defeated In the fight. There Is no doubt but whut the bucks kill each other in fights at mating time. I have heard of other Inter­ locked deer heads being fou.nd by hunter/, but those In my possession are the only ones that I have ever seen In my fifty years experience as a hunter and fur buyer."

Mr. Carter enlisted in 186 4 in the .U. 8. navy. serving most of his time on the Chilicothe. on the Missitwippl river. He was taken sick and went to a hospital at Memphis, Tenn.: at the close of th; war he returned to his home in Lenawee Co. Came to Barry Co. in?1866, first settling on section S3. Has­ tings township, and afterwards on section 6. where most of his life In the late 70's,‘and first of the 80’s he assisted Major Anderson in getting right of way for the C. K. A K railroad. He was progressive In al! his enterprises and though his health wax greatly impaired, owing to Jils army experience, he was active in all that goes to make good citizenship. He was super­ visor of this township und held many minor offices with credit. He was kind to the unfortunate and erring, arid thus endeared him­ self t<» all who knew him.

WHAT AN IMPOSING From all parts of the south, partic­ ularly from Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia come assurances of sup­ port for William H. TafL The south has prospered marvelously in the last IX years, and many of its people who have enjoyed the good times under republican .administration are not dis­ posed to take chances on the effects of Mr. Brayan's radicalism for years. It would be a patriotic thing If the solidity of both north nnd could be broken permanently. At Hot Spriqgs, candidate Taft gave out the text of a letter he had received from Ben Chapin, editor of the Rail­ road' Employe, published at Newark in the interests of the railroad work­ ers. in which satisfaction with the Taft acceptance speech Is expressed, JOB PRINTING. especially the part dealing with the The BANNER has one of the best labor issue, and holding that labor •quipped Job offices In Western Michi­ would not demand legislation for it­ gan and is prepared to do every kind self which It would .not grant to cap­ ital In.the way of protection. of book fnd job printing.

Imagine if you can a valley five or ten miles wide, 25 or 30 miles long with the and almost as level as the floor, but with a gentle slope to the nver. . 1 hat s the Big Laramie River Valley, and every inch of it can be irrigated. That’s why the best of it HAS NOT BEEN SOLD. In fact there is no BEST. Every foot of land that remains unsold is just as good, and just as fertile as every foot that has been sold. Consequently there are just as good propositions left, as.have been sold, but there are not so many of them. Thousands and thousands of acres of these rich irrigated ;.mds have been sold since these lands were opened for settlement May 7th last-only a little over three months ago, and they are still selling very rapidly, (Barry county people alone have bought more than 10,000 acres of these lands), and next year will see a big settle­ ment in this valley by people from all over the country-Barry county included. A Special Month The month’s selling will move along with a dash here. We've a cluster of values—real, energetic values, ready for you. We propose making it one among the greatest of months for economical buying. Your interests demand that you keep in touch with us; and the month’s values will but emphasize that our prices are lowest and qualities best. Mrs.____________ .....

What are we going to do with the extra 10 or 15 million people? They must all be fed and clothed. With the fertility of the soil in the old states really “going back’’ it certainly must mean -an extra demand upon the newer re­ gions in the west. There can be no disputing the fact that it means a big demand for rich agricultural lands, and that certainly must mean that they will increase rapidly in value.

The law'of supply and demand will apply to good lands just as much as it will to any Other mmodity. One acre of irrigated land in the Big Laramie Valley will produce from two to six times as much as the best land in this state. Yon can buy this irrigated land now ONE FIFTH to ONE HALF as much as. you would have to pay per acre in Mich­ ’ wall, or any other old settled state. The man who buys 80 or 160 acres of it now is certain , have an independent fortune in 10 years from today, when we will have 10 or 15 million more people to feed, saying nothing of the increase in the value' of the land, which in all irrigated regions is very rapid, good improved irrigated land commanding all the way from : s 100 per acre up to $3000 per acre.

I so we arc Informed, thought we were opposing the renom(nation of Judge Mack and favoring the nom­ ination of James M. Smith for pro­ bate judge because there appeared in our last and win appear in this Issue several small advertisements which Mr. Smith paid for which read: “For Judge of Probate. [X] James M. Smith." It was entirely legitimate for Mr. Smith to use his money to buy such advertis­ ing in the BANNER, and we would have extended the same, courtesy to Judge Mack had he so wished. It is entirely proper for the BAN­ NER tn accept such advertising. We desire to explain that every line that has appeared in the BANNER tn favor of any candidate for nom­ ination ut the primary hnx Ken advertising paid for by the candi­ date himself.

I his is the season of the year when there is a great deal of farm propertv in Barrv county bought My local business will demand so much of my time that it will probably be impossible (or me my exclusive attention to the irrigated land proposition in the Big Laramie Valley. Do not think ■ .,,-.er, that my interest in the honest merits of these lands has grown less by any means. Mv inspection Of the proposition.'besides that of many others in Barry countv who have bought these' nly increases my confidence in it. and the belief that within a very few years these lands will be i horn Jioo. per acre up, just as all other improved irrigated lands in the west do. And from will be a good time to visit this western country. You can see with your own eyes just what the .. i drf. You wont have to take anybody’s “say so”—and especially those “wise heads,” who have >.. outside of Barry county, and wouldn’t know an irrigating proposition if it was 'pojntVd out to 1 know there are some people in Barry county who oppose this irrigated land proposition because . . ' diUikv to see their friends leave Barry county. All 1 ask is for every man, ^seeking to better his tion in th<- world, to make a trip and view the proposition for:himself. If it doesn't appeal to him HO obligation whatever to buy, and all his necessary expenses will be just as cheerfully p.i iF.-m Hastings to the Big Laramie and return as though he had bought. Every month sees a : l •!> i- .i t in the sale of these lands. Some of the best known farmers in Barrv countv haw bought, as •.:••• leading farmers*and moneved men in other counties and states. DO YOU SUPPOSE .( •: h .:.. THEY ARE ALL BLIND? From now on I find that my business here will demand my almost undivided attention. I have sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Barry county real estate, and am able NOW to render better service than I ever have before, which I will explain later on in this announcement. Just now ID, 20, 40,60 and 80 faacrrmes I want to list larger farms too, but thrse seems to be an especial demand just NOW for the smaller sized property. I stated above that I was in a better position than ever before to sell your property for you. I have started an advertising campaign in the leading farm and agricultural papers of the country whose combined circulations are more than ONE MILLION PER WEEK. This will mean that many farmers in this and many other states will come to Barry county to BUY LAND. This is the season of the year when there is always lots of changing around. If you want to sell your farm I can sell it for you QUICKER and to better ad­ vantage than you can sell it yourself, because I am constantly in touch with buyers all over the country. I have a gooil liaV. of them now, and as a result of my extensive and expensive adver­ tising campaign 1 will get many more. Some of them will want to buy just such a farm as YOURS. If it is listed with me I will certainly give tbe buyers who come here an oppor­ tunity to look it over. If it suits them IT WILL BE SOLD. The deal will be made and yon will undoubtedly get a better price than what you would be able to get yourselfbecause von do not know who the prospective buyers are. I DO. THAT IS MY PAR­ TICULAR.BUSINESS If I had only one farm to sell I couldn't afford to advertise extensively Where I have a lot ot them I CAN AFFORD TO. And as to resnits I can only point you to the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Barry county real estate that I have sold in the last three seasons. If you want to sell your farm, no matter whether it is small or large. 1 can turn the full force of my selling organization to your benefit. It has been very effective for many Barry county people with farms to sell. I WILL BE OF SERVICE TO YOU if you will list your property with me. . ' Hastings, Mich. Real Estate and Investment Broker.

Now if what these “wise heads” (who have never been outside of Barry County) tell you, is true, then my advertising has all been false, I am a liar. On the other hand is true, then, to be equally plain, they and, to be plain, if what I have told you are liars and don’t know what they are talking about. I can see very plainly how,, to any young man seeking to start in the world, and looking for a starting place, these conflicting statements would certain, definite way that anyone can find out , be very confusing. But there is one Who is Doing the Mis=stating ' Tbe only way ie to make a trip out to these irrigated lands yourself. See with your own eyes what ie to be seen. Thatiswhat I did and I have faithfully tried to tell you the re­ sults in my advertisements. I am certain that if you will only make a trip to these Irrigated Lands you will find conditions exactly as 1have described them. I intend to remain in the Real Estate business in Hastings for a long time to come. I intend to make Has­ tings my home. You know, and I know, that if I indulged in any "skin game” proposi­ tion my business career would be quickly terminate,!. But I have the utmost confidence in the great future that awaits those who buy irrigated lands in the Big Laramie River Valley NOW, because they are sure to double in value iu a very short, time, and those wfio buy now wont have to wait long either.

They are all good, reliable men. , , The very fact that they personally1 inspected this land and then BOUGHT SOME OF IT and have all confirmed my statements as to its desirability. I feel, ought to relieve me of any suspicion of misrepresenting it in any way. Talk with any of those, named above, and especially talk with Jas. R. Matthews who has just returned from his second visit there this season, and is more Enthusiastic and confident of its future than ever be­ fore. When he was there, oats were standing up to his chin—(and he is a six-footer)— and other crops in proportion. Do you wonder at his enthusiasm? All I ask is for you not to pay any attention to these “wise heads”—and I don’t ask you to believe what I say. I do ask you to go and see for yourself—it wont coet you a penny from the time you . leave Hastings until you return. Doesn’t that seem fair? Isn’t It fair? You can then see for yourself who is doing the misrepresenting—all of.those who have been there and personally inspected the proposition, or those self-conceited "wise heads” who have never been outside of .Barry County and don’t know an irrigating ditch from a mill pond.

An Opportunity The Hastings Public Schools Will Open Tuesday, Sept. 8th. To Save Money In the elementary school the course of study will include ail regular work, and special work in music, drawing, manual training and domestic School Books are expensive at best and you. can easily make or lose a dollar or two in buying books for the beginning of school. We have a com­ plete line of new and second-hand or shelf worn books. The shelf worn books were bought directly from dealers where books have been chapged. The second-hand books have been slightly used. Many are rebound and fumigated. On all second-hand are as good as new. All ' are thoroughly ’ and shelf worn books you can save from science. * ■ . ' ' In domestic science the girls o( the fifth and ?ixth grades will t» given work tn sewing, and those of the seventh and eighth grades, cooking. In manual training the course will continue as given last year. In the high school the regular courses will he given in Englishmathematics, science, history, Latin. German, commercial branches and agricul­ ture. In addiuon. special courges will be given in । manual training ano ‘ domestic science. Expert teachers will have charge of the work in” these jjio branches. The manual training course will include woodworking and nrechatucal drawing In domestic science two courses will be offered, one in sewing and one in cooking. Any eighth grade graduate may enter the high school without nation. Students who are not eighth grade graduates in some cases, enter the high school provisionally. IMPORTANT CHANGE The Board of Education have adopted Milnes’ Arithmetic in place of Wemer*s. We have 125 of these new arithmetics that have been slightly used. There will be no more of these second-hand arithmetics for sale when these are sold. Come early and take advantage of this opportunity to change books at a small expense.

The doctor tells you not to drink at meals, but ducks, like a man with beer and pretzel, take a sup and then a bite, but must .not be allowed to get full. The. rest of tbe day they take water straight, and It must be deep enough to tbe vessel thnt they may get tbeir bills to over tbe nostrils; oth­ erwise these will not l>e cleanjad nnd ducks will smother. Ducks have no j crop. \ Feed goea directly to gizzard, l and thus must lie soft nnd crumbly. 1 Hani grain ration and sloppy Teed । for duck killer. Feed ducklings after twepty-four hours* fast at 0 and 10 j a. m. and 2 and G p. tn. j Keep feed before them tbe first fortr" °r,"r snells always. ! HASH-RATIONS FOR DUCKS. Southwestern Michigan Thia Week's News In'Nearby Count! ee. Copper dies for making counterfeit money wen- found in a gravel bed on the farm of Joseph Lawless near Col­ lins last week. There wen- ten of them, and they had been burled in a cut glass jar. for a long time. Nine of the’dies wen; fo? coining hclf dol­ lars. and- the other for dollars. They bore dates from 1878 to 18^0. It Is thought that-they were used at about the latter date. Public opinion has it that, they were, used by a man named rrank Stebbins, who onced lived on the place. Stebbins conducted a pejtermint distiller}- which turned out stuff which had the same effect as whiskey. For doing this and making cigars without the knowledge ot the government. Collins got Into trouble. It is said that .he is now serving u term of 25 years In Joliet prison. Log raising in the Muskegon and other rivers In the state has been tem­ porarily held up by the decision hand­ ed down by u Muskegon judge, who has restrained the company, which undertook the -work, from drying thc raised timber on the river banks. The. company has been operating 100 miles* up and down the Muskegon and other streams. Farmers claimed that they had as much right, to the sunken tim­ ber ns had the company nnd began legal proceedings to stop the work. The- court decided against the farmers and then they retaliated by starting the proceedings which prohibits the use of the river banks for drying purpose*.

Ladies’ Dress Skirts THE TO Hastings, Mich. FRONT Since I have been in the Real Estate Busines in Hastings the last three years, I have occupied for my office a rear room in the City Bank Building, and as my increasing business demanded more office room, I have had two rooms just north of the stairway, in the front part of the City Bank Building, fitted up for my office where I will be located in the future. Where twill be in a better position to serve my clients and the property owners of Barry County as well as those who are interested in the BIG LARAMIE pivpp vaiiFV WYOMING IRRIGATED LANDS. And right here let me say: “Do not let any of the KNOCKERS persuade you that I have'surrendered to them one iota and elven up the sale of the IRRIGATED LANDS of the BIG LARAMIE RIVER VALLEY.” As I know, because I have been over the ground, it is absolutely the best proposition in the United States to-day to get most fertile land where crops are sure, for the least money. Let me tell you something about this class of “Things that are called Knock­ ers." They are uneducated. Usually they have never been out of the limits of their own county, they are defamers and maligners of honest men and women s character, they are falsifiers, they are liars, they are an ulcer in society, a block in the wheels of progress and business, and a blot upon the fair name ot every community. They hissed UKC like a a serpem serpent three years ago when I started in the Real Estate Hastings, mat that iI would spend what little money I had and withDmy■< Business in Hastings, wumu .p-.*—----------7 . # « . fl 1__________ __ kmi very much impaired health, I no doubt would become a public r-k^rrrp* charge, that that aa Real Estate Business could never be made to pay in Hastings. ey came jus as near the truth as they ever do. My Books show that in the last Z years and ten months I have sold «367,000.00 worth of Barry County Real Estate and over ^O.OOOacres ofWyom g lands, and $27,000 worth of property in the last thirty spent during th. last 3 years $5,000 to advertise Barry Estate. My clients that 1 have located here are ol the very highest type of W Kan Citizens. People of thrift and enterprise, who have purchased thousands^ <Wlars worth of merchandise of our local business men to improve they bought through me, and I defy any man t0 Pu , where stance in the sale of Barry County Real Estate or Wyoming Irrigated lands where 1 have made a false statement or a single misrepresentation. Phone 475 City Bank Bldg The “Knockers" they warned people not to settle in Michigan "and Illinois. They said that Iowa was only for grazing, that Eastern Kansas and Nebraska were a part of the great American desert. Those who refused to take their advice have land worth $75 to $150 per acre. While old man Knocker died in the poor house, his sons are sitting on dry goods boxes warning people not to go to Wyo­ ming. • About 70 years ago the settlement of the prairies of Illinois was commenced by people mostly from Ohio and Pennsylvania. Steadily like a rising tide the move­ ment has swept westward and where a few years since there were untold millions of acres of virgin prairie, now only a narrow fringe of unoccupied land remains east of the Rockies. And I say to you in all sincerity that in the progress of the white man from the Atlantic westward, he has seen no more fertile soil than is offered you in the prairie of the Big Laramie River Valley, Wyoming. But for the fact that this country has been monopolized by the stock men ever since the Indians were driven out in the sixties, it would now be as thickly settled as the average Iowa farming community. If you are interested in the Wyoming land call at the office or write for illustrat ed descriptive literature. , If you wish to sell your Barry County farm, list it with me now. C. B.

The Agricult­ ural college Is planning to treat its lands along the am Sable in d ra­ tional manner. Thoie arc good beginnings. And now comes the federal government and does for the upper peninsula what the state has done for the lower. jit Is not pap posed by state nr na­ tional government or 'the Agri­ cultural college to withhold from farm settlement lands which will, repay tillage. What is proposed Is to use the lands of the common­ wealth in the way which will yield most profit continuously. Our present policy has permitted hundreds of thousands of acre* of this land to be burned over and again burned over until It has be­ ' come nearly an irreclaimable des­ ert. That is what the reforesta­ tion people wish to stop. Even the best of. agricultural land is benefitted if u part of It. even as much as a fourth, is kept In woodland. .Some of the best farm counties of Michigan today would be much more valuable if they had not been skinned so clean ot their timber. And by the same token the best forest land Is bene­ fit by being broken by farms. Wherever the land will repay tillage tbe forester would like to see a farmer. And wherever the land' will not bear tillage the far­ mer should rejoice to see a forest take the place of a burned over pine barren —Grand Rapids Press. YANKEE SPRINGS. for B Haskin, ot Gull lake.

Judin, ot Cressey, who went to the Pan Handle district Ot Texas a couple of weeks ago with a horn vseek era excursion has re­ turned greatly pleased with that part of the country and says it Is the future source of great prosper­ ity. He obtained an option on half a section ot land, and will close the deal in October and go there to re­ side in the future. He intends to dispose of his property tn Barry county. The Pan Handle is com­ posed of 30 counties. The soil is a rich black loam, upen which crops produce' great yields, millet 30 bushels to the acre. Alfalfa Is another valuable crop grown. This land lies 2500. feet above the sea level. It has rain fall from 15 to 25 inches annually. Stock may be left out all winter, and the altitude is so great that In spite of Ito southern locality It never becomes warmer than It is In Michigan, and there to always a breeze. This country was formerly given over to the large cattle companies who used it for grazing. It yields great crops of Kaffir corn and Milo maize, both of which are the best food for hogs. Mr. Judin says that lumber from New Mexico can be bought much cheaper than lumber in the 'north, and that the cost of living is less. Farmers in .Oklahoma are selling out their larids there for 360 un acre and moving to the Pan Handle whdre they can get land just as good. Mr. Judin is .convinced that this Is the “coming’’ part of the country. WANTS there is Anything useful you tlw BANNER’S WANT QOLUMN.

And then you have to run your chances of it’s being too dry.or too rainy tor your crops. Let me say. something to you. IRRIGATION IS THE BACIC BONE OF SUCCESS­ FUL.FARMING date below. See also the Article below explaining the Carey Law.) The price of this land is 50 cents per acre plus the cost of the proportionate.share of this land in the irrigation dams, ditches and rights. Through my ' connections, I am able to offer this splendid land, not more than 160 acres to any one person, as provided by the Carey Law, together with the water rights and per­ petual interest in the James Lake Irrigation System, for ths paltry sum of The i:" <t iucees-ful faming and tbe jnost prosperous sunvssful farmers in the United States today lire the farmers of the west who are living on irrigated lands. The soil is rich, deep, black and inexhaustible. Itcontair- its own fertilizer, and the water in the irriating ditches adds to its fertility every year. These irrigated iands are of inexhaustible fertility. And the inner regulates the moisture himself. His crops never suffer from drouth The rains never ruin them. From the winter snows in the mountains, melted by tle.iranff sunshine of spring and summer, come the waters that mean golden harvests any year and every rear. . The fact that there is but a limited amount of land (bateau lie irrigated in the west, and that this land is being rapidly-taken arid will soon be out of the mar­ ket. makes it necessary for tbe man to get very busy right now who would get a farm where good'crops are as sore to be harvested every year as summer is to come: where there has never been a. crop failure and one cannot occur. I am now prepared to offer you the best bargain ever placed before a man who wants to swore an irrigated farm at small cost and on the most liberal terms.'sp'that payments can easily be made. I represent’the $35.50 AN ACRE In other words, here is an irrigated land proposition with perpetual water rights and perpetual rights of proportionate ownership in the James Lake Irrigation system, at less than half of what it would cost you per acre for the best Barry Co. farm lands, whqre we are apt to have too much or too little rain for farming. What the prospects are for increase in the price of this land may be judged when I tell you that in the older settled irrigated districts of Colorado, Utah, Montana and other Kocky Mountain States, irrigated lam} is today selling at from $150 to $500 per acre. You stand no chance to lope on this investment and every chance to gain. But the opportunity is yours for but one day. You know the reputation of this agency for square dealing. I have sold thousands of acres of land in thia state and Wyoming, over $350,000 in Barry Co. alone in less than three years, and I challenge anyone to point to one instance where there is even a claim of misrepresentation made. FOR ONE DAY ONLY Under the terms of tbe Carey Law the 12,800 acres of The James Lake Irrigation Company will be offered for allotment oh Friday, October 9. Not more than 160 acrescan be sold to any one person. You can buy smaller tracts if you desire. Remember that it is rich, black prairie soil, and has pen-ertual water rights, and carries with it perpetual proportionate property righto in the James Lake Irrigation Company itself. You’ll never have a better chance to put yourself in a position of independence as a property owner, with a chance at the profitable business of farming, which is growing more and more profitable as tbe country increases in population. An SO acre irrigated fqrm will produce more than double wbat the ordinary.farm will produce in states like Michigan. THE JAMES LAKE IRRI GATION COMPANY yhich has secured the water rights, has built a large irrigation ditch to the property, so that every foot of lac I offered for sale can be irrigated. This land is part of a grant made by the United States Government to the state of Wyoming. Every alternate section was years ago granted to the Union Pacific Railroad, and is now largely >old to eastern farmers. The James Co. can offer 20sections, 12,800 acres of this land, in one of the richest valleys, in Wyoming, near the icaiikline of the Union Pacific railroad, under the terms of the Carey Law, by virtue of which .the purcbitfer not only acquires the land, but also acquires water rights that cannot be forfeited in the irrigation company itself. There is but a limited amount of this is practically government land. It must be by Allotment under the Carey Law, which was P^d by the United States Congress, and which fully ^ie r*phts of settlers. Under that law, this L wOacre tract must all be offered on one day. (^ee The Carey Law Hu- lend* under tin?

Kinjft.h.r. ,nc| Water Bird.. 1 So far I have determined that the keenest eyesight is probably possessed by water birds am) kingfishers, al­ though every kind of bin! possesses keener eyesight than does’man. It Is a fact that the eyesight of man Is go­ ing to gjst worse In the future aud is getting worse all the time-that Is, we are growing more nearsighted. The oc­ cupations of a majority ‘of men in cities compel them to do tljelr work at very dose range. This removes the necessity of the farsighted eyes with which most men are endowed. It In probably a good thing that we nre be­ coming nearsighted. As au example of tfee visual capacity of some birds, phe has to think for a moment of a hawk poised several hun­ dred yards’above a meadbw in which a field iuoti.se or a small chicken is hidden. In a few seconds after the quarry Is sighted It Is aetaed by the bird, whose sharp sight bus not only detected it, but whose wonderful ac­ commodative apparatus iwnrnjts of a sure uud continuous fixation from hun­ dreds of meters to less than a meter within an Incredibly short space of time. Variations In the character of this acute vision are seen In many other birds—In the humming bird, that darts here and there so quickly that the human eye cannot follow It and yet comes suddenly to rest on au al­ most invisible twig; in the Woodcock, that tilts through the dark woods, avoiding every tree, shrub and branch as If they were nonexistent: In the owl, that combines good diurnal with good nocturnal vision, and In the kingfisher, that sees as well in the air as he does in water.—Dr.-C.

THE HAT A-B was marked by courtly grace, culture, ariS' tocratic A dignity and HABIT. A Custom That Is Neither Becoming Nor Health Giving. Why do both men and women persist in wearing bats? asks LVanion's Maga­ zine. There are three reasons why we should wear-clothes. We may wear them for the sake of decency, for the sake of warmth and for the sake of dis­ play. None of these reasons applies to the wearing of bats. Of course there are head coverings that are warm, such as the Icelander’s sealskin hood aud the fisherman's toque; but, aa a rule, there is no real warmth In the hat of either sex. When, a woman pins a slight structure of straw and artificial flowers on the top of her hair she nev­ er for nn Instant Imagines that the thing will keep her from taking cold. The masculine top hat Is certainly warm on a ho^day, but It is very far from warm In cold weather. Neither are hats worn for the pur­ pose of display. Doubtless there are times when women make the hat the occasion of displaying their fondness for dead birds, mualin flowers and oth­ er beautiful objects, but this Is only when fashion lias decreed that big hats shall be worn. At other times the fe­ male hat is so microscopically small that It could not !>e successfully used for (displaying anything. As for men’s hatd, “they never display anything ex­ cept the atrocious taste which makes them fashionable. Why, then, In the name of all that Is sensible, do men ■nd women wear bats? As a rule, every man and every wo­ man looks lietter without a hat than with one. This Is why we all take off our bats at the opera or at an evening party, and yet we cling to g custom that has not n word to be said in 1U be­ half. We persist in wearing the ugly, useless nnd injurious hat. Why do we do ft? Ishould like to find a good Irish echo that would answer the question at length and in a satisfactory way.

It’s the basis of all living; it’s likewise the basis of pood health, when you buy flour you will certainly get better value for your money if you buy a pro­ duct that has years of successful manu­ facture behind it. New flonrs have, come upon the market and have departed from • it. Their glories sparkled momentarily through the medium of advertising, and then faded away, leaving nothing but the memory of a "catchy” name to recall them. But. FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR has gone steadily onward, each year a little better than it was the year before. It's merit is recognized; and it has estab­ lished a reputation that is more than state-wide. Isn’t That The Kind of Flour You Want In Your Home? One sack of it. will make you its stead­ fast friend.

"There are two kinds of veneering— sawed and sliced—but it takes an ex-' pert to telVthe difference," says a tnan. ufacturer. The procewi of manufne1 ture Is simple and interesting. The 1 logs, delivered at the factory in tbe rough, about tiilrte*?u feet in length, are first cooked In hot water vats to make them soft ami workable. “It does not matter how green they । are. After being thoroughly cooked they are placed on machines designed I for the purpose an*! either sliced by u l>owerful knife tbe fength of the log or j cut by a circular saw into slalw about one-t went leth of an inch thick. ' ‘TJjesa?, slabs uro tho full length of , the log n'ud when first cut are so plln• hie that they cun be" bent double with­ out breaking. The uniform thickness . . or thinness of tbe slabs is preserved ; by the action of tbe machinery, and . does not vary so. much as a hair’s I breadth in thc cntlye length of the slab. “After the siabs are sliced or suwed 1 they are seasoned by steaming. This requires only about twenty-four hours, and then they are ready for the mar­ ket Some of the huge oak logs that come to tbe factory show by the r!ng< in them that the trees were from 250 to 400 years old.”—Washington Herald.

Survival cf a Festival of the Middle Tbe origin of ground hog day Is ac­ counted for in thc following way: Feb. 2, or Candlemas day. was a favorite holiday, marked by public gnyety and ceremonies in Europe during the mid­ dle ages. It is stlli marked there by the closing of bunks and offices, but not otherwise, outside of. the reading ©f church-service*. In thif church cal­ endar It Is known as the Feast of .Puri­ fication of the Virgin and was first In­ stituted by Pope Sergius about the year GM A. D. The popular name of the- day is derived from the early cusy»m <>f lighting up the chun hes with candles and carrying these la processlon on this festival. As to the weather auperstltion giving to Candlemas the name of ground bog day, that is a world wide fable, in Ger­ many it Is the badger that breaks his winter nap on this day to essay the thankless task of weather prophecy; In France and Switzerland it is the mar­ mot and In England the hedgehog. Ob­ servation shows, says the Housekeep­ er, that none of these small animals do thus olwy-rve the date fixed; also that tbe weather on tills date does not accurately foretell that of tbe follow­ ing two months, as is supposed. But •It Is a general truth that in temperate latitudes warm and sunny weather In the first half of February is apt to be followed by a change and a cool spring, and on this fact our ground bog and badger stories sre founded.

The Awful Cold That Cornea With Eighty Degrees of Frost It Is difficult to form any conception of the degree of cold represented by 80 degrees of frost that at times prevails in certain parts of Rossis.

Your chin has a trick of freezing to your upper jaw by the happy aid of your beard. My eyes have often been so glued as to show that even a wink was unsafe."

The table top is covered with metal called nickeloid, it will not tarnish or discolor. The whole table top will pull forward adding one third to the worhing surface.

Teeth and bones supposed to belong to a mastodon Or some other gigantic pre-historic animal, have been un­ earthed on the farm of Charles Eck­ hart. three miles oouthwest of Moobn. These hones were found on the bank of. Willow creek, the channel of which was. deepened and widened two years ago. Frank Warfield, who works the place, ha* been finding these bones all summer but thought nothing of It. until a short time ago. when part of an immense tooth was brought to light. It was then found tl>t over a dozen of these great bones had b«t*n collected. There were' three teeth, one of them nearly entire, which measured tour and.one-half inches In length and three Inches in width. A part of the root was attached to this. The enamel, or shell, of another one was still larger, while the third was split diagonally .across thc crown lengthwise. The crowns of thc teeth were black on th< qMUrtde.

I do not need to recount the fire horrors of Northern Michigan, where millions of dollars worth of property have been destroy­ ed, thousands of persons made homeless, and many deaths have resulted from the terrible fires up there. At a meeting of the citizens held last evening at the Manufacturers Club Rooms the following committee was appointed to solicit aid for fire sufferers: Henry; Shel­ don, W. R. Cook, Frank Horton and A. E. Renkes. When this committee shall call on you, give them a generous subscription for the need* is very great and very urgent. It is believed that clothing is not needed so much as cash with which to buy food for the sufferers. The railroads will transport hay and grain free. Donations of these will be thankfully received and forwarded by the committee. I call upon the good citizens of Hastings and vicinity to help the needy victims of the awful fires in our state.

He also gives free lectures .and practical demon­ strations .on the art of economical cooking each day dur­ ing the great Majestic Range demonstration at our store. He bakes the wonderful WalKing CaKe, talks to the ladies and answers any questions concerning cooking and gives recipes for the asking.

By baking in all comers of the Great Ma­ jestic Range oven, the Professor shows how evenly the heat is distributed. He will show you why the Majes­ tic Range heats more water than any other, in fact will show you all you should know about a Range and good cooking. This is an opportunity that every lady in Hastings and vicinity should take advantage of. The experience you will gain at this demonstration will be well worth your time and it will not cost you a cent. You will gain knowledge from the world's greatest chef; you will gain knowledge that you could get in no other way. EVERYBODY WELCOME: EVERYBODY INVITED: EVERYBODY SHODLD GOME.

Next Tuesday the voters of the United States will decide by their ballots whether they wish the policies of President Roosevelt continued through the election off Wm.

Sick kidneys are responsible for n vast amount of suf­ fering and 111 health, but there Is no need to suffer nor remain In danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the um of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here Is a Has­ tings citizen's recommendation. Mrs. Elmer Sponable. Walnut and South Water streets, Mich., says: “I suffered from kidney trouble for some time. When I caught cold. It always settled in my kidneys and the pains In my buck would becornA aggravated. Learning of the merits of Doan’s Kid­ ney Pills, I procured a box at the Mulholland Pharmacy' and began using them. They, afforded me prompt relief and removed the pains from my back. I gave a statement. In 1901 recommending Doan’s Kidney' Pills and today I just as heartily en­ dorse them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo.

Very Truly, Phene 352 MYERS <5 KINNE YOUR PROTECTION The more than state-wide reputation of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR has not been built up by being careless as to the protection of its users. Person­ ally we have been most fortunate in the 35 years of our milling experience, and all possibility of mistakes has been reduced to a minimum. This has been due to two reasons—chiefly • 1st—because we operate by water power which is always steady. 2nd—because the superior quality of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY has led to such demands for the flour that we are compelled to run night and day the year round.

Nature tells you all about IL Tha urine is nature’s calendar. Infrequent or too frequent action: Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure all kidney Illa. Hastings people testify to this; Hiram Durkee, residing on High St.. Hastings. Mich., says: “A short time ago I suffered from a weakness of my kidneys accompanied by sharp darting pains through my back and loins. Whenever I caught cold the symptoms of my trouble would be ag­ gravated, and at such times the pains 'would become so acute that I was hardly able to bend or lift anything. Hearing Doan’s Kidney Pills so high­ ly recommended 1 decided to try them and accordingly procured a box at the Mulholland pharmacy. They gave me almost Immediate relief, and a.short use entirely banished the trou­ ble. It always gives me pleasure to recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills to other sufferers." For sale by all dealers.

Yours, NEW YORK RACKET STORE OSTEOPATHIC NOTES BY DR. B. A. BULLOCK For the Education of the Public and the Ad- vancement of Osteopathy. CHANGES It THE WEATHER often cause sickness of various kiuds. If your sys­ tem is in godd condition the disease may be repelled, and the ill effects disappear. If it is not in good con­ dition the evil may spread and result iu chronic.Con- ‘ ditions that are hard to eradicate. During such weather as we are now having; a slip, a sprain, a fall or a blow, or anything that may interfere with the correct position of the vertebrae, will surely produce disease in some portion of the anatomy- You can • take drugs by the gallon, but they will not reach the cause of the illness. The evil will remain until the displaced vertebra is put back in position, and this can only be done by the skilled Osteopathic physi­ cian. • ' THE OSTEOPATHIC THEORY of disease is tills:—The nerves center in the brain. Upon leaving the brain, they are formed into a large bundle, or trank line, called the SPINAL CORD, which passes through the opening in the vertebrae, or “back bone.” These nerves branch off from the I spinal cord and pass between the vertebra. Tales I nebves.must ns frbk. There must be no pressure on them, as they carry nerve force and un to all parts j of the body. The vertebrae are separated from one I another by spongy cushions, which may become j compressed, from various causes. If one of the ver­ tebra becomes partially dislocated, which can easily j happen, it creates a pressure on the nerves and shuta ; off the nerve supply to some part of the body. Only ' one thing can result,and that la dieeeee—DI&-KASK ’ The duty of the Osteopathic physician is to eat that vertebra back to its normal position.

As soon as they are filled with the solid oysters, these jars are sealed, and then packed in ioe, the seal not be­ ing broken until it reaches the hands of the retailer. Mind yon not a particle of ice is put into them, the ice is packed around the jar that holds them. Not a drop of water is added to them because its impossible—they're sealed. They reach the con­ sumer just as pure and wholesome as the hour they left tiie oce&n, because the ice around them keeps them at about the temperature of the ocean bottom.

Auction Sale The BANNER’S method of advertising Auction Sales has been universally endorsed by tiie people of Barry County and by those liv­ ing in adjacent counties who know how thoroughly the BANKER covers Barry County. We have testimonials from many of our patrons who realized from #100 to 1700 more than they expected from their Auction Sales. i • Large Crowds ■"tSKWS"' WHY? 1st-Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County. 2nd-Becausa the Auction Sale advertisemsnts are read by the men in their own homes at times when they have the time and dis­ position to read them. 3rd-Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates 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 few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Sale advertisments draw people from ail over the coonty and we have advertised many sales at which people have been present from bvkby township in the county. They were present because articles were advertised that thzy wanted and they come prepared to bid. The Larger The Crowd, the Livelier the Bidding- - - - - Alawys.

Only A Little Thought On Your Part Will Convince You. The bare statement that wheat is selling for JI.00 per bushel and flour selling for *2 -25 tier 100 pounds is enough to show you. It takes 2t bushels of wheat to make 100 pounds of flour. If it wasn't for the Hastings Roller Mill you would be paying at least *3.00 per 100 pounds. There's a Reason why, and here it is, ‘‘PURITY FLOUR" made by the Hastings Milling Company has forged its way to the front on MERIT. In doing this it has supplanted other flours made, by mills having large capital, which unfortunately we haven’t got By cutting the price of flour below the actual cost of production they hope to CRUSH US OUT. It’s the same "pressure” the TRUSTS ap- ' plied to put meddlesome competition to sleep. If they succeed WILL IT HELP YOU? We were the first ones to exchange 40 pounds of flour for a bushel of wheat. We've helped you before; we’INq it again. Won’t it PAY YOU to help us jnst as long as we will give you as good a flour as is- made—and that's PURITY. Think it over-and order PURITY.

Probably he never had n letter which went astray. Yet every time he sees in the news­ papers the list of advertised mail sent out from time to time by the general postofflee In New York be turns nt once to the initial letter under which his name comes and runs carefully through the HsL Ho never yet has found any letter that might be sup­ posed to be for him and, furthermore, hasn't found any that might be for auy of bls relatives.

Few bonks are so fortunately situated as to have their banking bouse not only furnish them their b«L«UncM« officer rent free, and also yield an average Interest return on thr cash Invested in the building and fixtures The Banking I<aws of Michigan require that 60 jmt cent of tiic Savings Deposits of any Savings Bank tn tills stale shall bo Invested Jn bonds and real estate mortgages. No better security for u bank's loanable funds could be desired. BONDS—Tt>to bank owns approved municipal bonds to thc value of 327.400. They arc tin? highest class of bonds, and could readily be sold al a premium. But as they could not ,bc duplicated for 1cm than tliesc arc now worth there would be no object in disposing of them. . MORTGAGES—We find the Hastings City Bank owm first mortgages on real estate to the value of 3101.525.09. 'Hie property covered Is worth more than double the mort­ gage indebtedness, and to practically all located in Burry County.

There are 852 notes aggregating 3285,166.05. Almost every dollar of this is loaned to Barry County people whose character, standing ami financial condition am well known to our Directors. From thto committee's intimate knowledge of thc loans of thq Hastings City Bank, we do not hesitate to give them our unqualified approval, and express our deliberate Judgment tliat there to not a note, iwnti or mortgage in the list tliat will not be paid We believe no bank could have a more desirable lot of loans. We most .heartily ap­ prove of tiint By Imn of thc Hastings Chy Bank, which requires thc Board of Directors to meet as often as once a month and pass upon every loan made by this bank, to the end tliat none but safe and secure loons may be taken. The state Ifcw says that no loan can exceed 10 per cent of thr bank’s capital and surplus, except by vote of the Directors, who may increase it to not exceeding 20 per cent of thr capital and surplus.

Only the De­ troit show excelled the Hastings show In size or In quality of entrier ExcelUng’ In number all previous shows by SOO. the number ot fowls at the last exhibition was somewhat over 800 The officers expect the show this year will be as large as the last one and that thc quality' of birds will be some­ what better. The Association has obtained the services ot F. J. Marshall, of Atlantic. Ga., as judge. Mr. Marshall is one of the most famous poultry judges in this country. He was one of the judges at thc Columbian Exposition In Chicago In 1893 and nt thc Jamestown Exposi­ tion last -year. He in noted for his fairness and all exhibitors may have confidence In his scoring.

Purple, Former World's Fair Official. Impressed By ITcs. Of Hastings Poultry AMOctation. Arrtericnn exhibitors at thc World's Fair, was In town Thursday eupplylng thc Hastings Poultry Associa­ tion with loving cup? which will be given as premiums at me coming show. Mr. Purple, who always has a good story to tell, related one of a very portly merchant of Chicago who went to visit u brother In Kansas City White the western man whs showing his brother some poultry, tbe latter scared ai) old hen oft from a nest, l-’rom a'mntter of habit the Chicago num. stopped suddenly, raised his hat and exclaimed "Excuse me Mrs. Hen!" "After visiting with thc president of the Hastings poultry association. I feel just like that man from Chicago did. nnd I'll take my hat off to the hens hereafter," wild Mr. Purple. •Mr. Purple, who is very much in­ terested In Sunday School work, tells the following stories. \__ Wlllinm, a young lad< who 'had been very much impressed by his lost Sun­ day School lesson, was busily engaged In drawing on u blackboard with chalk. Suddenly he asked of hl* mother: "Does God see everything. "Yes, William." she replied. "Does he sec everything that Is be­ ing doneT* "Yes, everything. William, she re­ plied. • Gee!’’ said William.’’ won t he laugh when he sees this horse. I’m -drawing.’’ , A little girl, who had been well brot up was sitting attentively listening to her Sunday School teacher when the teacher asked her if she could tell anything about Adam *nd Eve. "No," replied the little girl. “Don’t you know anything about them,” raked the teacher. _ _ one must "Yes. but mama says never talk behind other people*' backs." she answered. Mr. Purple who Is visiting poultry associations about the country, after meeting members of the local associa­ tion, left in the evening very much impressed with the enterprise of th< Hastings Poultry Association. FEEDING DUCKS AND GEESE. Of course you Will separate the ducks and geese Intended for next, year’s breeding from the market writerfowl and feed them a different ration. Feed your breeding ducks, morn and night, three parts mash of^ bran, mlds and cornmeal, with 15 imt cent beef scrap and 8 per cent fine grit, and add 10 per cent cooked vegetables or 15 of steam­ ed clover. To fatten use mash three parts corn­ meal, one part inids, 15 per cent of bulk beef scrap and grit. If paature is over, feed your breed­ ing geese a rnash made up of turulpa, beets nnd cabbage for vegetables and bulky mash one-half steamed clover or alfalfa, two-thirds bran and onethird cornmeal. Throw in mixed corn, wheat and oats for dinner.' For fat­ tening geese use three parts cornmeal, one part raids, 25 per cent scrap. Be careful not to get your geese too fat or too heavy. Too much fat makes a greasy roast, and too heavy birds are hard to sell. AN EGG8PLANA8HUN. Toil-town folks who like rich pud­ dings, golden pumpkin pies and de­ licious fresh eggs for breakfast of a frosty winter morning think wo poul­ try fellows have a secret by which w« get egg*. Tbe cause of that egg failure is most­ ly In a little word—f*t—and back of that la another—corn—and add to these lack of exercbw and you bar* tbe whole trouble in an eggshell. Biddy, like the bear, has the hiber­ nating habit. Toward winter she gets lazier and lazier, lays no eggs, but quietly lays on layers of fat for fuel to keep her warm. Don't know why, but town folk* just feed "gobs" of corn. Seem* an inherited trait. Of course Biddy likes It, nnd her fat Healskin rack gets thicker nnd thicker, and she gets lazier and lazier a0*1 lays .not. | Tbe only way to make her lay is to use antifat. Antifat consists ofi no corn, light mixed ration for fat hens and lota of exercise. Exercise keep* .your hen* healthy and hhppy. The happy hen sings at her work, and a Ringing hen Is a busy layer. Only feed about 20 per cent corn. Make your ration of equal parts wheat, oat*, millet and buckwheat and feed In lit­ ter. Feed your corn as cornmeal In the mash or aa a solid supper on a cold night. When you scatter grain in tbe litter the hens put eggs in the nest, and you put money In tbe bank. D0NT8. Don't fprget that there are many poultry experts with small flocks In tho towns and suburbs. They know good stock when It is shipped, so be careful. Don't fall to clean bouse early and whitewash thoroughly. You will thus get In the young stock before the cold rains and can help put up that stove. Don't feed market stock and breed­ ers together. Separate those for sals. Feed them a fattening ration, nnd it will pay. Don’t put off winter preparations un­ til the blizzard arrives. If you do your prospects will drop with tbe mer­ cury. Don't depend on leaves and buck­ wheat straw for winter Utter. Scratch and they go.to pieces. Don't feed leftover soft mash. It sours tn a few hours. Don’t feed at irregular expect your bens to And a grain gold mine In the dung pile.

Look over onr goods and prices and yon will find that there is a timeliness about, our bargains that your pocketbook appreciates.

MORTGAGES—Wc find the Hastings City Bank owns first mortgages on real estate to the value of $101,525.09. Tito properly covered is worth more titan double the mort­ gage indebtedness, and Is practically all located in Barry County. All the properties covt-red have been examined and tl»e loans approved by the Board of directors. In our Judg­ ment it Is a great advantage tliat a state bank enjoys hi being pc emitted to loan a good portion of Its funds on bonds and mortgage security. • NOTES AND DISCOUNTS. Wc find that this bank also iui*f besides Its bonds and mortgag s. loans of $285,166.05 made on ndtes. all of whltlt. except where-the individual credit U unqcationcd. are en­ dorsed. Tiicre are 852 'notes aggregating $285,166.05. Almost every dollar of this is loaned to Barry <’ounty propio whose character, standing ami financial condition arc well known to our Directors. I-’rom tills committee’s Intimate knowledge of tlie loans of tin Hastings City Bank, we do not hesitate to ghe them our unqualified approval, and express onr deliberate Judgment that there is not a note, bond or mortgage in tl»e list i hat win not be paid We believe no bank could leave a more desirable lot of loans. We most heartily ap­ prove of that By law of the Hastings City Bank, which requires the Board of Directors to meet as of Um as once a month nnd pass upon every loan made by this bunk, to thy end tliat none but safe ai«i secure loons nmy be taken. Tlie state law says that no loan can exceed 10 per cijnt of the bank’s capital am! surplus, ex vpt by vole of the Dlreectors, who may Increase It to not exceeding 20 per cent of the <wpltal ami surplus. Not a single Ioan of this blink is as large as the limit allowed by law. RESERVE BANKS. On November 30.

Here’s what they say; 1880 A MERRY CHRISTMAS A HAPPY NEW YEAR Now (lint promoters arc booming ths project of building a canal across th« state from Saginaw to Grand Hav­ en by •way of several rivers u’hich How In the old geological bed of the outlet to the great lakes, interest haa sprung up among those who want to .see the canal cross the southern .part of the state with terminals at RL Joseph and Monroe. Mayor Green of Battie Creek will take up the matter with the may­ ors of Kaiamaxoo. Jackson, Albion, Marshall. Adrian, Monroe, Ann Arbor and St Joseph. Tilts meeting It Is thought will result, in presenting for public consideration the feasibility of building a deep water canal which will bring Buffalo nnd Chicago 1.000 miles nearer each other by' water. The southern route is regarded as shorter, and preferable to the northern one. and those Interested In the southern route will hotly oppose the SaginawGrand Rapids plan. Already the may­ ors of Jackson and Battle Creek are preparing to unite forces In all the cities In bringing the proposition be­ fore the public. 1908 Just Think of It! 28 Years we have handled French’s White Lily Flour and never a sack returned!

Gsrsetx took this time to escape, and no one questioned hls right of way. He was afterward found hiding in an alley and arrested by officers. Tx C. VanKkllcy and Mont Bloom, of Battle Creek went duck hunting Mme time ngo, and instead of game they got involved in litigation which promises to cost both of them a neat little num in the near future. Arriving at likely looking waters for ducks, the men separated in order to co-operate in driving the quarry towards each other. VanRIdiey had not been alone long when he discovered a duck riding on the water. He lot drive with both barrels at the fowl which went down out of sight only to pop up again. Van-. Ridley put In more ammunition nnd fired again, but the duck only dupli­ cated the performance. Then the hunter discovered that he had been firing at his companion's decoy duck.1 Bloom began suit In justice court to recover damages. Ever since the declaratlon pap* rs were served on him Van Ridley has been "setting ’em up.” RrHevcfw in dreams will be inter­ ested In a little story that has just come to light concerning a Battle Creek woman who, Tuesday night, dreamed that her mother, who lives in Port Hurtm. was in trouble and needed her, so she at one started for Port Huron, where she Induced the sheriff to accompany her to the farm where her mother lived. When they reached their destination they found ' that relatives had taken possea«Ion of the place and tho mother was about to be dispossessed by them. The mother Is 88 yean of age and it was her intention to send for tier daugh­ ter had she not had her dream and come to her aid without being called. The intruders were put off the place by the officer who returned to Port Huron Wednesday night. The latest sensation is a gixist story hailing from Aurelius township near Eaton Rapids. An old United Breth­ ren, church stands on a lonely corner there. Years ago the church had a flourishing membership, but removals reduced the - congregation, nnd the building was Anally abandoned, and bought by the. Edgar brothers, who lived near by, to be used ns a tool shed. Recently residents in the neigh­ borhood who have, passed the old building late at night claim to have seen mysterious forms gliding about Others aver that they have heard ghostly voices chanting hymns from the old church in the darkness, but no one has ventured to Investigate the origin of the music or the Identity uf the ghost.

Back Together. A lady friend of mine, says nn Eng,’IhIj writer, hits ns pets a canary and a cat. Tbe two were the best of g<xsl I friends, mid when the bird's prison door was ofiened It would come out and perch on the ent’s back while It trilled’forth a song of gladness. One day niy/rlend left her. two [>et8 together, and on her retjirn tbe bird was nowhtce to be found. Pussy was c urled up on a cushion, sleeping con­ tentedly. and my friend jumped to the conclusion that tbe cat was answer-* able for the bird's disappearance, con* scquently she caught up the cat and. holding the supposed delinquent be­ fore the empty cage, beat it rather mercilessly. Poor pussy mewed pite­ ously. but her relentless mistress put ber outside and shut the door against her. Next morning, fee’ing rather ashamed of ber outburst, she made inquiries about the cat. but pussy was gone. Pome days inter she heard a faint scratching nt tier window, and on open­ ing the casement n cat crept in and laid-a bedraggled < nnary at her feet. | At first she did not recognize her jicts In the two disreputable looking objects before her When she did recognize them her delight was great. Presumably the canary had gone out b.v the open window, and. finding liber *.v sweet. It had flown to n neighboring, wood How the ent found the bird nnd brought It back uninjured te a mystcry.

V-Y New York city has a considerable population of Greeks, Russians. Ar­ menians. Syrians, Servians. Poles, Bul­ garians. Montenegrins and Vlachs. all of whom observe the Jsillanlc Christ­ mas. For forty days prior to Jan. T they observe a fast, eating no meat, neither beast, fish nor fowl. They eat tish eggs or caviare, but draw the lino there. Tbeir principal diet for tbe for­ ty days’ fasting Is made up of olives. l-t-MHs, caviare bread and crackers. But at 6 o’clock on tbe morning of Christmas day, Jan. ", tbe Jullanlst fas: is over. It ia not necessary to bint that tb<*e people‘’count the days LUI Christmas or that they rejoice and are exceeding glad when the anniver­ sary' arrives. These facts are obvious. Christ mas means fur them a glorious feast, a square meal, several square meals—in fact, a round of square meals. Our Jullnpist friends to ebureb early on their Christmas morning, but aot too early. They eat breakfast first. High mass is celebrated In the Greek Orthodox church at 8 o’clock. The forty days’ fast having ended two hours before, the Jullanists are Joy­ fully full of the good things Of this world l>efore they enter the house of worship.

It Is In the cafes in the sections of thfe city where the Jullanlsts dwell that this Christmas day Is celebrated with the most visible gusto.

HOGUE SMITH & SMITH PRICES - $ $ INCREASE |lt has always been our policy, and it will continue to be our policy, to work right along'with our patrons. All that we ask or ex­ pect is a fair living profit on what we sell, no matter where the prices may go to, whether lumber sells at $25 a thousand or*$50. But whenever we can save our customers some good money through our long experience with the lumber market, we feel that it is our duty to do so, knowing that our efforts will be appreciated. As far as we are personally concerned,. it won’t make any difference whether you build now, or several years from now. What we want to firmly impress upon your mind is the fact that JOI! Can hliy yOUf building 041 Cheaper now than you can probably ever buy them again. You will save a lot of money by contracting now. ■ Expert forestry men in the employ of the government are unanimous in the opinion that at the present rate of consumption the lumber supply of this country will be exhausted in 20 years. Lumber is one of the few articles for which demand is increasing and the supply rapidly diminishing. The result is that . PRICES MUST INCREASE. You Can Buy Cheaper Now Than You Can In a Few Months Later $ In fact there have already been advances in certain grades of lumber. Further advances are predicted by every wholesale lumber dealer, and everyone else alive to the situation. Our forests are being rapidly depleted; advances MUST come. Glass hasn't been as low in years as it is now. There are rumors that present prices will be sharply advanced the first of the new year. You know how prices jump in prosperous times. The wise thing to do is to contract now-while prices are lower than you will see them again in years, unless all signs' fail. We do not expect so see everyone follow these suggestions. We do expect to see those who don’t follow them regret their delay, because delay in this case will “cost money" , We have furnished materials for hundreds of the best homes in Barry County; this year we furnished the materials for the factories in this city in the face of strong competition. This is proof that onr GOODS and prices are RIGHT. And remember that we will contract to build your buildings complete from cellar to garret if you wish us to, or we will sell you tbe materials at as low a price as you can get anywhere. QUALITY considered. We will take pleasure in figuring your bills for yon. It won't oost you a oent. Better see us at ence if you contemplate building. • OpOCIal For the next 30 days we will make a special low price on Red Cedar We have a very large stock, all high grade goods. 2679 oar prices.

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.
