Today nearly ail Spanish on the con­ tinent, nnd not many at that, are raised In New York, Massncbuaetts aud Canada. ■ Reading tbe old poultry Journals of tbe seveuties-Poultry Bulletin, Poul­ try World. Fancier’s Journal and the American Poultry Yard—we find elo­ quent descriptions of "this 'noble bird,” and tbelr advertising columns are full of Black Spanish space. Today it te seldom mentioned in the Journals. in 1870 there was a great display of White Faced Black and White Faced White Spanish at tbe Centennial expo­ sition. Today there nre few at the shows, tbe largest exhibits being found at Boston, the nearest show to tbe ma­ jority of tbe breeders. Tbe White Faced. White Spanish has entirely disappeared. . With the fathers this fowl was es­ pecially valuable for Its utility. ' They valued Its peculiar appearance and show points, but they bred It up to ten pounds for Its delicious white flesh and fat and also bred bens that laid up to tbe 230 egg mark, and there Is no hen that lays a larger, hand­ somer white sbeilod egg. •_ Today tbe fowl Js classed as ''exhi­ bition." Among Its points that particularly attract fanciers are the long white face, pendulous . wattles, large ear lobes, large five point comb, glossy black plumage and expanded tall. Then It Is n stately, graceful bird, and Its individuality makes It conspicuous. "Why has this breed fallen back?” Well, it's that same objection again —black pinfeathers, blue legs and white or pink flesh. The majority object to these, and tbe majority rule. If you have an open front bouse It will not improve your temper to find two feet of snow drifted over the litter some zero weather morn.

There is much disap­ pointment In the testing nnd hatching of these eggs because tbelr age is un­ known and the Cartners often do not mate them by pairs. Cock pheasants ore great fighters, especially In breeding season. They often kill each other, A full grown pheasant can generally whip n pit game and will attack children.

The reason many fowls get rheuma­ tism at molt or after is because the sulphur given them for a blood puri­ fier Is administered in wet weather. The cramming system for fattening nnd finishing poultry is getting a hold In this country.

They nre not picked, but when they roach n certahi maturity they begin to dry. and < onM-quently they drop ofi the ground. In rhe morn­ ing everybody on the plantations goes around with buckets gathering the fruit, which they carry to a certain place where the ground Is covered with dry leaves and straw (sergei) and on which they spread the fruit. exposing It to the sun. allowing It to remain there from two to three days. It takes about three days to dry the flg If north winds prevail, as the at­ mosphere Is then very dry. If. however, westerly winds nre sblowing, which means heavy dew at night, the fruit must remain exposed to the sun from five to seven days. This Is a dangerous period, as. rain or . even • shower might ruin hundreds of tons of fruit lying on the ground. Heavy dews sometimes are Just as detrimental. Tbe proper atmospheric conditions to Insure a crop of large, sound, rich figs are week winds In June and July, fol­ lowed by north winds in August, and. from then on an occasional rest‘ win’ every five or six day*. : | DR.

If, after taking the flowers Into thr bouse, you discover the trouble­ some meal bugs, aphis, the tor­ ment of chrysanthemum, green ales and tiny red spider*, begin nt once to kill them. The overwhelm­ ing development of these pests can. be stopped only by1 -nslrur some strong solution that will kill the Insect* und destroy the eggs. If a small cnmel’s-halr brush is dipped Into alcohol and the haunts of these pests lx washed out with the solution, followed with tobacco xured. Do not permit this water to run into the earth, for alcohol will kill some plants. Have a piece of oilcloth, cut a hole In the center and silt one side to the edge. This can Im- wrapped around the plant to prevent the water going Into the crock. This is alxo on excellent method when cleaning flowers in thr kitchen sink, for the dirt does not overflow when the crock is pro­ tected with the oilcloth covering. Thr red spider can be killed with quires that the entire plant be Im­ mersed. This lx easily done, nnd the water should be changed a number of times. Do not leave one plant untouched, but clean all ut thr xnmr time. Juxt a few Insects will Increase rapidly In number* . and the aphis today would be a I past generation tomorrow, xo the accumulation of these little pests should be fought from the time flower* are taken Into the 4iousc.

Do it just this way:— Take about a spoonful of PURITY FLOUR, smooth it down with ,.a broad bladed knife, making the edges of the. flour straight. Then take a spoonful of any other flour you have,-place it beside the Purity, and smooth it down as yon did Purity and so tbat the two flours will join. Then bee if Purity Flour isn’t whiter than the other The quality of flour depends upon its whiteness. Just test Purity Flour with any other you have, or can buy.

Hi Ji IIULLUnni Do the people of Hastings realize how good a flour mill they have* In a great many hornet* in the city and coupty they do, but we could sell a lot more flour if people would only have the confidence in our mill that is due us. On a trip through the south part of tbe state'our Mr. Kerr sampled this mill’s products with a great many mills and in every case PURITY stood far ahead of other flours that have a great reputation. Why?' Because we have got the mill and the ability to make a flour that is unsurpassed by any mill. Then why shouldn-’t YOU use the product of the home mill. It is fully guarin-. teed and if it does not prove after a fair trial to be RIGHT return it to your dealer and get your money back. Can anything be fairer than this? All we ask is for yon to TRY IT and you always will be a user of PURITY. HASTINGS MILLING COMPANY, C. A. Kerr, Mgr Phone 283 Hastings, Mich Mr. Man You know that there can be no better use fqr money than making it contribute to base and com­ fort in the home. And have you. ever thought how little it will cost yon ? For instance take a Hastings-Made Kitchen Cabinet IT WILL COST yOU FROM f 10.75 UP WARDS TO BUY ONE, OF THEM But one of these Hastings-Made Kitchen Cabi­ nets will last you a lifetime; they will save your wife one-half her work and one-half of her steps when it comes to baking. Just supposing for instance that you bought one of the $15 Hastings-Made Kitchen Cabinets, and yon used it 15 years. That would cost you $1 per year for a convenience that will save youn wife half of her work and half of her steps. Isn’t that worth your consideration, es­ pecially when you are getting a piece of furniture that will be worth as much at the end of 15 years as it was when you bought it? There’s nothing about them to wear out. Call -and see our line. We are exclusive agents in Hastings. x McCoy BlocK Stebbins <5 Glasgow DT. u. 1. bcnrborousb la a patient sufferine from paresis.

I- kept them in open shed house?), and everything went well till zero weather, when every male died with roup nnd ennker, und tbe bens were not affected at all. Was I swin­ dled, was It hereditary taint or what was to blame? A. You were to blame for mating birds of opposite climates. Mate even or go farther nbrth for breeders. Q. Is there such a thing ns young turkeys having imralysls? Mine had it In the left side. They were hatched j by bens, nud the spring season was i cold nnd dfiiup. ' , A. Your poults bad cramp or rbeu-1 matism. Yon likely cooped them closely to keep dry. and thus the three evils—cold, dampness nnd lack of ex­ ercise—ouide trouble.

Quality in Building Material If there isn’t Quality Id the lumber, shingles and other building material, then it never can Mtisfactory. It will not laat; it will not give satisfaction; it is dear at any-priefi. This lumber yard, the oldest and beet known in Barry county, has established its high reputation by selling Quality in lumber. It costa but little more to get the better grades, but it pays big returns bn the Httle difference. . We keep some of the other kind for tbe man who insists on hav­ ing something cheap without respect to Quality. But usually he sees that it isn’t economy, so be buys tbe better grades and we thus get a permanent customer; for time always proves the folly of buying poor lumber because It's cheap. Let ua figure with you bn your lumber bills. You'll be better satisfied, for you will get the Quality kinds of lumber if you take our advice, and at but little above what poorer grades will cost you.

We don’t mean by thia that we ship pianos in a mail sack, but we do mean that through correspondence we sell a good many pianos, as the standing and responsibility of this house is known all over Barry and some of the adjoining counties. People naturally object to buying through Agents whom they do not know, and who represent houses that perhaps are quite generally unknown and who have no reputations to sustain. They prefer to come here where they have a good assortment of instruments to select from; where they will always get square, honorable treatment If everything isn’t aa we represent it, we MAKE IT RIGHT. In other woids yon take no chances when you buy a Piano here. ' When you bay a piano there are several things for you to think of. Don’t buy a piano just because it has a pretty case, because cheap instruments are made to please the eye. First class pianos are built on artistic lines to please the artist, the musician and are . made to last a life time. .

PENNOCK GREAT CASH COST SALE If all who owe us had paid their bills, we would have not only the cash to square all accounts, but be in an easy position financially. But we have been greatly disap­ pointed-in collections and now find ourselves in great need of ready cash to pay our bills. There’s only one way to meet this embafassing situation in which we are placed by those who owe us, but have failed to make good their promises to pay, and that is to PUT THE KNIFE IN DEEP Accordingly we will inaugurate a price slashing sale in Delton that will break all records.

And there is no question but what it is a ‘’time saver” and a money maker. But they are too apt to forget, and overlook the necessity; the time-saving, and the labor saving features of •‘system” in the home. The salt, pepper, spices, extracts etc, may be in the pantry; the flour may be in a sack, or a barrel in anothor par t of the house; the baking dishes may be scattered arround in various places. Why not Sirmit your wife to introduce “system” in the house,** Why not buy her a astings-made Kitchen Cabinet where there’s a place for everything used in baking and cooking?

It cost* but little more to get the better grades, but It pays big returns on tb© little difference. , ' We keep somo of tbe other kind for the man who Insist* on hav­ ing something cheap without respect to Quality. Bat usually he seea that it isn't economy, so be buys tbe bettor grade* and we thus get a permanent customer; for time always proves the folly of buying poor lumber because it’s cheap. Let us figure with you on your lumber blih. You’ll be better satisfied, for you will get the Quality kinds of lumber if you take our advice, and at but little above what poorer grades will cost you. < Tomlinson Lumber Co.

Tbe system of atoning for destb or bodily injurlea inflicted on others by paying damages is as old as tbe earli­ est Teutonic laws, praised by Tacitus. Thc trespasser was always required to make peace with thc aggrieved family of tbe victim by "Wer-Geld." "Wer" is tbe ancient German for man. "Geld." now. as to tbe days of Wotan, means money. Damages were assessed lu accord­ ance .with the rank and wealth of tbe Injured party, nnd the money was paid over In the presence of the whole community, its acceptance forestalling feuds. Indeed, the recognition of WerG^td ("money for tbe man" killed) by law precluded further -bloodshed or other forms of revenge. If the slayer wns not rich enough to pay tho required sum, be turned over to the Injured parties bls sons as slaves. If hla sons were not sufficient guarantee for tbe payment df the debt, tbe slayer himself bad to turn bondsman, both the letter and tbe spirit of tbe law requiring that the full amoun*|of damage Inflicted be recovered by tbe aggrieved parties — New York World. his family to northern Michigan, uu the Straits of Maekinac to Cross VII*»<•• '"'tonally LaCro-. * mtoeton e» tabltohed by Fr.

Here the blood of the northern sunsets, the balsam balm and even ‘'the black-berry briars” got In hto veins. The tradition of primi­ tive people—Indian, habitant and set­ tler—were his fairy stories: and being a day dreamer by nature this region of romance and adventure waa meat and drink to him. Here, in a "squattor" shnek. on w bed of corn-cobs and a horse blanket, he wrote hto first poem, by the light of a broken lamp. Poetry bad not been rated highly in the traditions of the family, who were soldiers, politicians, pioneer preachers and country doctors; and when the master of the house caught hto eon red-handed In' the crime of writing verses, hto paternal duty was plain. He just simply read the riot act to the lawbreaking .youth. "Oil costs money nnd there's work to be done in tho morning,'.' he said, "and I might as wall tell you first as lost that you can’t draw blood out of a turnip.

Have you ever given a thought to tbe old Man or Woman who stande eo pitifully at the street comer b> seeching your aid? Have you ever thought of the poor houses and the wrecked hopes and ambitiona they contain? Have you ever thought that these dependent upon charity were once young, presumably full of hqpe, and probably with little thought ol what the morrow would Jjfing forth? Do you know that in nine cases out of ten these very people might have saved sufficiently from their in­ come in-their more prosperous days to have insured comfort in their old age? It’e a startling fact that almost every aged depen­ dant is dependent because of failures to lay aside some­ thing in the days of plenty. Have you ever thought of these things? * Are YOU saving money? How are you saving it? If your savings are just being hoarded in youf home with outx drawing interest, the money is idle and v^orse still, in danger of being'stolen. Saving your income is an excellent plan but you should invest your savings and the best investment on earth is mother earth herself. Why not invest your savings in a home instead of paying rent? I have a number of farms and homes in the city that I can sell you for a small payment down and a monthly payment no greater than you have to pay in rent, and as a home is a great anchor for a work­ ing man and no one amounts to very much and has but little influence in his local affairs untill he owns a home and commences to accnmalate, and as I have several pro­ perties on my list and am continually listing properties that can be- purchased on "the most favorable terms whereby you can dave and invest the money yon can spare each month in a home which is absolutely the best aud safest security possible, and in the end will bring you the greatest returns. • I-inviUtyour attentioh to the following bargains.

Whatever he became was In spite of, hto want of early education and not because of IL Only by hto habit nf thought nnd hto insatiable desire for knowledge did he differ from others with similar surroundings along the western frontier. Yet It cannot b<i denied that by hto own efforts he attained a degree of knowledge posscaeed only by a few. He wns never satisfied with hto attainments. • ' Throughout bis life he worked on. conscious of hto deficiencies, anxious to acquire knowledge, cautiously measuring hto nbIMty and hto re­ sources against the great problems that came to him; seeking to solve those problems without ostentation nor yet shrinking at all from their solution. . After.he moved to HUnoto he was deputy surveyor, nnd at ’ one time was engaged In business, and at another was postmaster. He became captain of the Illinois volunteers raised to put down the BIqck Huwl» uprising, und served four consecutive terms fn the Illinois ■ legislature, during -which -time- -he was admitted to the bar and engaged In desultory practice. " He saw that If he was to achieve succewi at the bar ho must discard politics, and he aoon afterward formed a partnership with r Judge Logan of Springfield one of the ablest practitioners of tho state. During hto career at the bar Lincoln was bui^*. He was connected i with more than one hundred and seventy cases in the Supreme Court of Illinois and with one at least In the Supreme Court orthe.United States. He became an attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad Company and was engaged with Edwin M.

He was constantly on the circuit engaged in ^Nthe trial of cases, except during one term in Congress where he ^Kaen'ed during the Mexican 'war.

Douglas had long been in public life and was familiar with public questions. Hto extensive experience, handsome presefice. and magnetic manner made him the Idol of hto followers. He was everywhere rtkcognlxed as the greatest debater In Congress and a prospective candidate for President of the United States.

Obesity Is easily cured with the ex­ ercise of th* proper care and restraint on the part of the patient Without this, however, the cure Is Impossible, sod no physician or medicine can be of any help. The happy-go-lucky dis­ positions of-fat people, their tendency to regard their ailment lightly, cause them to look upon nothing seriously, to deny themselves nothing. These characterlstles, which generally are re­ sponsible for tbelr, aliment furnish the greatest obstacle* In the way of curing them. As a rule, th* fat person does just the opposite of what he ought to do. He eats the very foods be should avoid, avoids those be should t shuns exertion of every kind.

Tlie Chippewa and Ottawa Indian* of Alvin, an Indian village north of Oscoda, are rejoicing over the fact that they are about to receive their share of the large amount still due front the government of the United States for various cessions of land made by the Algonq*uln tribes. About the time that Michigan became a state the government of the United States Secured principally from Pottawatta­ mie*, Ottawa* and Chippewas vast tracts of land which the members of these tribes owned in Common. The government agreed to sell tbe Jand and hand the amount over to the In­ dians the balance remaining after the cost of surveying and selling the land was deducted. Part of the amount due waa paid Immediately, but the bulk was allowed to accumulate and waa held by the United States govern­ ment, the Indians receiving yearly ap­ portionments of interest. <n the course of time the government over­ looked the exact specifications of the agrement and even the .interest on the amount due ceased. Finally the Pottawntamles began to ask questions: then ths Ottawa* and Chippewas be­ came Interested. Competent lawyers took the matter in hand and it wns' found that a large sum of money still1 remained unpaid.

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.

It Is affttltted that the mu­ sical tastes of “the Corsican ogrt” were not elevated. But for alt that he loved singing so much that many..a time-after a concert he ordered tho yocallsts to como to the palace and sing before him and the Empress Jo­ sephine. A curious anecdote is told of bls brusque manner of dealing with art­ ists. . One night nt a concert nt the Tuileries, while Duport, the famous violoncellist, was performing a solo, the emperor suddenly entered. Ills majesty nodded his head approvingly and when tbe piece was finished said to Duport: "flow tbe deuce do yon manage to keep that Instrument bo motionless?" And, taking up tbe cellb. be tried to jam it Iwtween bls spurred boots, Poor Duport nearly fainted when be saw tils treasure treated like a war borse. For neveral minutes be looked on, trertbltng from bead to foot At last, however, he darted forward and called out "Sire!" in such pathetic tones that the emperor handed him back the instrument. Duport thereupon showed bow the । instrument was held, but every time bls imperial master extended bls band to attempt to do It himself Duport threw himself back in alarm till final­ ly Josephine whispered something to her husband, who burst out laughing and put nn end to the cello lesson.— New York Sun. SHETLAND PONIES. Cleared Hia Doubts. A well ktiown English gentleman engaged a tall ahd powerful high­ lander to net as gpmekeepcr on his es­ tate. Having been a considerable time at his post and not having caught any poachers, the gentleman suspect­ ed bls gamekeeper of carelessness. So one dark night he disguised him­ self nnd went out with a gun to poach on bls own ground. He had fired only one or two shots when he was sud­ denly pounced upon from behind and his gun wrenched aynfy. Then kicks and blows were showered upon him until he fell down half insensible. The highlander then walked away quietly, and when tbe gentleman re­ covered sufficiently he crawled home and took to his bed for two weeks. He has now no doubts as to whether the man can perform his dnty or not.

Chas. Grove, of Philadelphia, the well known wool buyer -was In this city last week having recently re­ turned from a trip to Panama. Mr. government has accomplished on the Tsthmus of. Panama, without making a personal inspection. 'The first thing to be considered Was the question of the health of the employees, this government -early recognising that Americans, could not bo prevailed upon to stay tn that fever infected district with­ out proper consideration of sani­ tary conditions. As a result Colon small pox. typhoid and all the oth­ er varieties of fevers peculiar to that hot climate have been elimina­ ted thru proper sanitary methods. Mr. Grove said that in Panama es­ pecially he would feel as safe as he Would in Hastings, or any other fever is concerned. entlrely different and workmen died like nits. It ta claimed that ever}* lie in the railroad across the Isth­ mus represents s human life. At .one place along the railroad Mr. Grove was pointed out the spot where 600 Frenchmen deliberately threw themselves into the Chagres river and ended their lives nt uric timeAt that time the French Panama Canal Commission woe about busted financially. Fevers and small peg were carrying off day. Men were dying Caster than recruits could be hired? The men were poorly housed, poorly fed and were receiving no money fhr theta, labor. Rather than face the fu­ ture, -home-sick and discouraged, this small army of men marched down totihe river at one time and ended their lives. In marked contrast to this Is tbe. way this government treats its em­ ployees. The men are splendidly consideration la given proper sani­ tation. and the men are paid big that the class of men employed is way above the standard, they are well dressed, and seem pleased and contented with the location, and their work. Tn the work Mr. Gsove says that American engineers are following of the French engineers. The French machinery however, wus way behind the times and today is useless.

SOME PEOPLE have intimated that the big reduction sale that I have been conducting for some time is only a plan to sell a part of my large stock of clothing, boots, shoes, furnishings, etc. To all who are of this opinion I wish to say that they are greatly mistaken. My health is such that I have DEFINITELY DE­ CIDED TO go out of the retail business. This decision is FINAL and irre­ vocable. I am selling out everything in my line at wholesale prices, and in many cases below. I am .going to continue to do this until thl stock is re­ duced to a point that will permit me to close it out.

It has exceeded our fondest expectations. We have already, up to this date, Wednesday, March 24th. sold as many goods as we usually sell in six weeks. We engaged the firm of C. N. Harper <& Co., of Chicago, Ill., to conduct this sale, as we knew from their reputation as sales managers, that when they started in to raise a certain amount of money in ten days they could be depended upon to do so. They realized that on account of the unfavorable weather it would require heroic measures to get the people out, and They Certainly put the Knife in Deep They did not consider cost. It was simply We Must Get the Money. And the way the people flock in, shows thattheyknow when they get a good thing.

Nobody has ever yet suggested a better fence than the Page.

Just call some time and see for yourself the cross-tie on the Page. You'll see at once that it’s the best.

Mac. fearing that nn accident might befall him. started to crawl out. The man working in the yard outside the mill had seen Mac crawl into the log and also saw him trying to crawl ouL At this he started snowballing Mac, driving him back into the log. As the truck started up the incline, the yard man shouted, "I hope it rolls off with you.” No sooner were the words ut­ tered than the log. which hod been loaded more on one side than the other, started to roll from the truck, as the blocking, becoming loose, drop­ ped out. The truck shot out one way, the log the other, landing upon the ground six feet below. Outside of a severe shaking up, Mac was uninjured.

PERFECTLY CLEAN Do you know that PURITY FLOUR,-“the flour that’s all pure flour,” is the cleanest food you eat? PURITY is all that its name implies, for the reason that our wheat is all thoroughly scoured by machinery and then , WASHED WITH WATER. Washed (think of that) and then scoured again, before it is ready for the grinding. After it is ground it is put into sacks by machinery. HUMAN HANDS DO NOT TOUCH IT FROM THE TIME IT LEAVES THE FARMERS’ WAGONS UNTIL YOU TAKE IT OUT OF THE SACKS TO USE IN YOUR BAKING. - We call it PURITY FLOUR because.it is “all pure flour,” and is absolutely clean and sanitary.

We want YOU to attend. We will try and overlook nothing that will add to your ♦ comfort and convenience, and will have on sale lines of merchandise that will be both a surprise and a delight to you. Many pretty booths have been arranged ♦ inside of this large double store, where you can buy anything and everything at prices as low, or lower than-you would have to pay at any retail store. ♦ Practically everything for this big Fair has been donated to us and we want to take this opportunity to especially thank the rperchants of Hastings who have not £ ♦ only contributed liberally for the Fair, but in addition have interested themselves enough to secure many valuable donations of merchandise from wholesale houses J with which they deal. We also want to thank the many members of our Lodge who have given freely of their time in Selling tickets and in other ways; also the ♦ loyal citizens of Hastings and Barry county who have seemed to appreciate our undertaking, and the fact that the new Hastings Masonic Temple is an ornament 0 ♦ to the city, and a credit to our Lodge and our Order. We also want to thank the loyal Eastern Star, who-have given their time-and-work so freely, as have ♦ many other ladies outside that Order. This generous response on the part of everyone, we assure you has been, and is, fully appreciated. And if success crowns « our efforts, as we know it will unless something unforeseen happens, it will be due, not to the efforts of any one, but to the united efforts of all to make the spien- < did success that it should be.

Our lodge room is on the' third floor, has a fine Iwdcotiy' with raised seats xm the south and cast sides.of., the lodge room; ample cloak and property rooms, toilet rooms, parlor, smoking 400ms etc. - On the second floor we have a fine banquet hall, kitchen with nice large range, and many other convert* ierices.

TROUBLE There are a good many ways of causing trouble; and there are invariably ways of avoiding it With the fanner for instance there’s one way that’s always sure to bring trouble and that is by allowing his fences to get dilapidated and knocked down so that his stock may eassly get over into hie neighbor's fields, and vice-versa. There’s one way ab­ solutely certain of avoiding trouble in this way and that is by his patting np a PAGE WIRE FENCE It's the fence that has been on the market 10 years longer than any other woven wire fence.

Ice is a recognized household necessity, and you are entitled to the best you can get.for the price. Here are a few reasons which are worth your consideration. 1st Every pound of our ice comes from Long Lake, which is fed entirely by clear, cold springs. 2nd The water in Long Lake is all pure hard water, and there Is no drainage from barn yards to make it impure. 3rd All of our cutting is from deep water. 4th All of our ice is thoroughly washed before it leaves our ice-houses. This is a help to you because you do not have your lawn all littered up with saw-dust, and your refrigerator is not all clogged up with saw-dust two or three times a week. That's why Long Lake ice is superior to any other; and that's why our buisness has increased each year. We give our- customers the best of service, and ice that is free from impurities. Ask your neighbor who uses Long Lake ice how he likes it. We would like to have you give us a trial; we will be pleased to show you. We will take care of you and guarantee to furnish you ice that will please you. Ice men all over the state have increased their prices, because, of the open winter and the increased expense of putting up ice. But on all contracts for the season we will make the same price as last year-$7.00 for the five months, May, June, July, August and September.

BUSINESS C. H. Osborn, �♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ MISE Made Has een Fulfilled Last year more than 100,000 acres of land in the Big.Laramie River Valley, Wyoming, were sold to people from all over this country upon the bare promise, of the Tallmadge-Buntin Land Company, of Chicago, that thia land would be brought under irrigation. We are pleased to state that every promise made has been fulfilled. All the irrigation ditches and laterals have been completed and the water is now running in them and all the work has been done in a most substantial manner.. Solid cement head gates have been put in. and nothing has been overlooked that would add to the stability and solidity of the-entire enterprise. New settlers are moving in and building homes, and getting ready for the rich hanrests that await those who locate there and who are ready to WORK. Those from Barry County who visited the Big Laramie Valley last year would be surprised if they would visit that country now. and see the changes that only a few months have wrought. Up to a few months ago, for instance, all there was to the town of Bosler was a wide expanse of prairie grass, a depot, and a sec­ tion house. This was Bosler, as the Barry County visitors will remember it last year. Today stores are being.built; stocks of goods are-in transit, and 300 families are moving in, prepared to locate, and make that section what it ought to be and what it-win be—ONE OF THE GARDEN SPOTS-Of THIS COUNTRY. Those who bought land last year can sell it today at a BIG ADVANCE over whatthey paid last year. Those will see it rapidly advance to $100 per acre or better, because there is an ample water supply—and water is the silent agent needed to transform that country into a Garden spot. There hold it are about 60.000 acres of irrigated land and unirrigated land left unsold in the Big Laramie Valley including about 5,000 acres of land to entered under the Carey Land Act. YOUNG MAN-What are you going to do? Young man -what are you going to do? Are you going to sit idly by and see all of these opportunities em­ braced by other people? You know that good agricultural land in this country is getting scarcer and scarcer. Uncle Sam hasn’t got choice, rich 160 acre farms to give away, as he used to have. Good farm land in this coun­ try is growing more and more valuable every year—and it is going to continue to advance as the supply of land diminishes, and as our population increases. It can’t be otherwise. And the greatest and most rapid increases * in value must come in the west, where the land is new, and where the resources have not been developed. INVESTOR-What are you going to do? Investor, what are you going to do? You are looking for a sure, safe, certain place to invest your money, where can you find a better place to invest it than in a GOOD IRRIGATED FARM, with the best of soil; in a community that is GROWING RAPIDLY, and that is bound to grow still more rapidly. You cannot find a better, surer, or safer way to Invest. It’s as safe as a Government bond and is far more remunerative to you.

Have yqu ever noticed people, when they were away visiting, Rise the biscuits they were eating, though right down in their arts it almost choked them to give utterance to the compliments. At home, the man of the house would refer to them as “sinkers,” "bullets' etc. but when he is visiting they are “exquisite,” “deli­ cious.” Why Is it? At home he is in his castle, where he interprets the obligations that came with bis marriage license as a liberty to eak his mind’’ when the bread is heavy. And there isn’t even a □f consolation when he sees the light "crusty” bread he longs for carried into the house4n his wife’s arms from the bakery wagon But the Wife Isn Always to Blame Lots of men are ‘‘set” in their ways. They think that most any­ thing in the »bape of floor is all right, just so it’s flour, and is fairly white in color. The probability is that no one could bake a good batch of bread with it on a bet. But they take that kind home and expect their wives to furnish nice, light bread. It’s impossible. She couldn’t do it; no one could do it. Why not let her buy French’s White Lily Flour, the kind she wants and that all tbe best cooks use? French’s White Lily isn’t "just flour’’—ita the best flour, and there’s a reason why it is. It has back of it 85 years of successfol manufacture; it is made and handled by experts; it is made in a mill that is operated by steady, uniform water power and in a mill that is run night and day. That’s why everybody wants it; that’s why you ought to have it. ,Try it once and the compliments on the quality of your biscuits will be genuine—not the doubtful kind. Why delay ?

For a half century or more this store has supplied the requirements of people all over Barry County, and even in adjoining counties, who recognize the fact that we have the largest, most complete and varied stock of Hardware and implements between Grand Rapids and Jackson. It is a pleasure to us to be able to afford such complete service; and at the same time it is a great convenience to you to know that your every want nac be supplied here, and at prices just as low as prevail anywhere when QUALITY is considered—and it is always worth your consideration. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS Wagons and Buggies Il is only necessary for us to state that wc handle the Studebaker Wagons, the name and fame bf which are known and recognized the world over. You know there are no better, and it PAYS YOU to get the best. The Page Buggies of Marshall, are as good as any mad?. Wc wouldn’t be handling them if they weren’t. We have a full line of them and you can get just what you want. Have you ever considered the fact that AGRICULTURE, the first industry to be learned by man, was really about the last industry to be developed? Three thousand years ago the Egyptians tilled the soil with crude tools which differed but slightly from those used 50 or 75 years ago. But the last 75 years, and especially the last 25, have shown wonderful progress. As a carpenter is said to “be known by his tools,” so now. days it can with as much truth be said that "a farmer is known by his farm machinery.” It used to take .three hours to har­ vest a bushel of wheat; now it takes one minute, or less, the final step in this wonderful saving of time being when the Deering Twine Binder, the first of its kind, entered the fiejd to replace the old wire binder. From that day to this the Deering machines have taken a most prominent part in the agricultural development of the world. Wc handle the Deering machines. A Deering Ideal Binder makes a profitable harvest a certainty. It SAVES THE GRAIN, no matter whether its tall or short, thick or tjwn, lodged or tangled. If your grain is worth grow­ ing, its worth saving, and a Deering Ideal Binder will patf for itself several times over in the grain it will save. The frame of the Ideal Binder is made of steel bajs rivited, instead of bolted, together, so that it has the strength of a solid steel unit* It is fully equipped with ball and roller bearings thus reducing friction to a min­ imum. The binding attachment is famous.the world over for its unerring w’ork. The Deering Company was the pioneer in twine binding machines; it has had.the cxperince and the capital to develop their machinery to just as near perfection as human mcchaqi^tn can reach. When you buy a Deering .machine of any kind, you can rest secure in the fact that there, is nothing better made. If you are in the market for farm machinery of any kind it will be to your interest to call and see us. Or upon request from you we will mail you some literature that will interest you.

Standard Spring Tooth Lever Harrows You’ll soon be wanting a harrow perhaps. Don't buy until you see the Standard Spring Tooth Ldver Har­ row. It has many features about it that will commend themselves to your good judgment and experience. For instance it has a center section of eight teeth which can be placed in either a regular two section 15 or 17 tooth harrow. It is therefore convertible into either a two or three section harrow by using proper length eveners. The center section has runners to support itself, thus avoiding the usual objection to three section Harrows when the outside sections must support the center section. , . Bradley Incubators Single and Double Harness For TWENTY-FIVE YEARS we have handled the famous Armstrong & Graham line of Hand Made Harness.

You can saw wood, grind feed, pump water anywhere you want it, churn, furnish power for your repair work. and.do work of a thousand different kinds that you couldn't do without a Gasoline Engine.

Many who have accumulated $5,000.00 commenced with $5.00 or lees. As they made their savings GROW in the past so they will continue to make them grow in the fu­ ture. To make ends meet, spend less than you earn. However small the wage, put aside a portion of each week’s earning for the period when there is neither labor nor wage—which period always comes. Never follow thrift by pretending. The pretender cheats no one but himself. The fact that you “cannot afford the price” is invariably well known, and needs no apology.

That’s why Long Lake ice is superior to any other; and that’s why our buisness has increased each year. We give our customers the best of service, and ice that is free from impurities. Ask your neighbor who uses Long Lake ice how he likes it. We would like to have you give us a trial; we will be pleased to show you. We will take care of you and guarantee to furnish you ice that will please you. ' ■ . Ice men all over the state have increased their prices, because of the open winter and the increased expense of putting up ice. But on all contracts for the season we will make the same price as last year—$7.00 for the five months, May, June, July, August and September.

If you .re thinking of buying, right NOW u the time to buy. AU commercial reports indicate that the world is recovering from the "Money Panic" that for the past 18 months has depressed business not only in this country, but all over tbe world as well. Prices ate at tbe lowest notch. The ideal time to buy is always Phen the country is emerging from a depression BECAUSE PRICES ARE ALWAYS AT THE LOWEST. The new tariff bill is practically completed, manufacturers and business men practically know what they have got to do to adjust themselves to it. and the country is in jiat about the same condition as it was when President McKinley was inaugurated the first time. You remember the business activity that followed his first inauguration: you remember how prices soared upwards, and continued to soar for TEN YEARS. The wise buyer then was the one who bought dbout the time he was firet inaugurated, when the prices were WAY DOWN. The wise buyer today will be the one who BUYS NOW * . ■■ • ■ ■ il|| Bf . If you have given fl That is the question that you should give a lot ofxitmsideration and investigation, but here are some facts that we will offer for you to think about. VB IMhprfi IN III Vnil UllUr I UU IjIbIV ■ ' > everyday affairs say thought at all, you know • ' ’ ______ ____ --------- . -­ FIRST—That this country is having a marvelous growth; that the area of desirable farm land is growing very small. Where are the thousands upon thousands of immigrants that are coming to this country EVERY MONTH going to locate, saying nothing of the natural increase of our population? You know that practically every acre of available land east of the Mississippi River has been taken up, and today commands such a high price that you cannot bujHt and make much more than a living, and perhaps a moderate interest upon your invest­ ment. If you bought any of this land and went in debt for it you would do extremely well to live, and keep up the land and the interest payments. That would mean that you would put in a life of hard work, and be in debt just as much when you died, as when you were young and strong. That is not a pleasant prospect to be sure, but I ask you candidly if that is not a fair statement. SECOND—Again returning to the growing scarcity of good cheap farm lands. You know i| was only a few years ago that the United States government had “farms to give away." all been taken up and today commands such a high price that as an investment, or an opportunity to make a home it offers no inducement whatever. It hasn’t any any more. It has . THIRD—Another fact that is worth your consideration is this: the land east of the Mississippi River that has been farmed for yean is losing its fertility. Very little, if any, of it is as rich and strong today as it was 20 yean ago, and lots of it has been entirely “worked out” and ABANDONED altogether. Ig Laramie River Valley, Wyoming The today offers unparalelled opportunities to the young man just starting out in life and whi is willing to work. 'There is a great big wide valley that has been burned over for centuries. The ashes from these annual fires, and the. decaying vegetable matter each year, have left a deep, rich soil that for productiveness is beyond the comprehension of any man who has not been there to sec it. This land is niw being sold at a very low price, and on terms ’ so easy that failure is out of the question with anyone willing to work, and fxercise any kind of economy. One acre of irrigated land will produce from FOUR to SIX times as much as the best land in this vicinity as the Agricultural Reports of the State of Wyoming will show, and can be bought for ONE HALF of what you would have to pay for good land in Michigan or any other eastern state. The young man who locates there now and buys an 8o or 160 acre farm will be independently rich inside of five years. Tbe Big Laramie Valley is rapidly being taken up by settlers. Over 300 families are settling around Bosler now, where last year there was nothing but prairie grass. Are you going to sit still and let others take advantage of these opportunities? Why not go out there and look the ground over yourself? Why not take in ' OUR NEXT FREE HOME-SEEKER’S EXCURSION HASTINGS, TUESDAY, MAY 4th which will You will pay $50 which will give you two town lota in the new town of Cooper Lake, on the Main Line of the Union Pacific Railroad.

You couldn’t make such a trip yourself short of S100, and you have the two town lots in Cooper Lake which will easily be worth the $50 you pay for them.

No housewife can afford to use any flour that isn’t strictly up to the standard. Making flour is just like making anytihng else. It’s a trade by itself. Two millere, for instance can take the same wheat. One of tbem wni produce a fine quality of flour; the other will produce just a poor to medium kind. ITS ALL IN KNOWING HOW. For 35 years French’s White Lily Flour has been made by ns. Its . name is a guarantee of its excellence. French’s White Lily Flour is made after a plan. It isn't one of the happen-to-be-good kind of flours that happens to find its way onto the market. Every sack of White Lily that you buy now is just like the sack of it that you bought last week last month, or last year, except that it is a little better, as the latest improved machinery may enable us to improve it. .Making flour is our business; we take just pride in it, and tbe satisfaction that it has given and is giving. We are compelled to run our mill night and day the year round, and we have been doing it for years. If Wi Win Making Poor Flour Do You Suppose That We Would Be Com palled To Run Night And Day? You Know We Wouldn't. Why not try a sack! MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS, R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor.

The experience gained by ns in that 35 years is worth ft lot to every family using French’s White Lily Flour, because it insures tbe BEST FLOUR in the home and that means HEALTH and HAPPINESS—two of tbe greatest blessings of life. French’s White Lily Flour has achieved its success’because people have found it to be ‘•always the same.” When the housewife uses it she doesn’t GUESS how her baking is coming out; she KNOWS how it’s coming out. She knows that it is going to be “just like ber last baking was,” because every sack of French’s White Lily Flour is just like every other sack.

Quality” shoes, you ask. a.llkl prfCB that contains such good ,The reason is this. With the tremendous material as the Queen Quality. premising power Naturally of the manufacturers of “QllfMMl they are not only able to buy materials considerably cheaper than other manufacturers, but also are allowed, to make their ’own selections” of leathers, soles, counters etc. The manufacturers of Queen Qualify Shoes are not only given ‘‘first choice” in buying materials, but are given the “pick of the market. Another reason Why the manufacturers of Queen Quality Shoes are able to make a better Shoe for less money y is because of their tremendous production. For example, a factory making 1,000 pairs of -shoes every day’can make shoes CbeSper than a factory that only makes 100 pairs. That is a recognized fact in manufac­ “Queen Quality” Company makes 18,000 pairs of Queen Quality shoos It can, and does, make a httir shot at a lower price than any other factory.possibly can that makes only 1,000 or even 10,000 pairs a day. The enormous production of Queen Quality Shoes en• ables their manufacturers to market their product at a IlVIF prlct than would be possible if they were' made in Smaller quantities. That is why Queen Quality Shoes are the best on the market for the price. . Other reasons why Queen Quality Shoes are the best and most popular shoes on the market with - the women, are these:— They are made in the IlFgllt, fat and iMt ptfftdlj equipped plant of its kind in the coun­ try. They are made by a company that 'is equipped with abundant capital, and with a determination to "male the ftOSt Women’s Shoe for the money. The Queen Quality Shoe Company has expended OYOr one million dollars just to bring Queen Quality Shoes to their present state of pirfUtlM II fit and ip-tl-tll-aliftl Il Style. High priced machinery has been thrown out, and others installed, that would add io any way to the StjlB,' tit and appearance of Queen Quality Shoes. These are some of the reasons Wlj Queen Quality Shoes are the best and cheapest to buy; why women insist upon having them, who have worn them and kill tblif Tlltt. ture. But the every day.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR ICE HOUSE People may not think that they are interested in oar ice house BUT THEY ARE? They are interested fur the very reason that they are interested in WHA r OF ICE 18 DELIVERED AT THEIR HOMES. Our large ice house is built upon the most scientific principles. The ice that comes out at the end of the season is just as good, and just as solid, as it was~the da>' it was put in. It costs a good deal more to bqild such an ice house, than it does to build a cheap clap-trap sort of an affair. But our ice house KEEPS ICE and is valuable to OUR CUSTOMERS as well as our ourselves oil that account. We don’t spare any pains or expense either in putting up our ice. and doing everything to keep it in the best possible manner. It certainly does make a difference to YOU whether your ice comes from an ice house that will KEEP ICE or not. Ice that is stored in a cheap, poorly constructed ice house WILL NOT KEEP. It will melt down thin and you will see white streaks, running down ..the “grain” of the ice making .it. POROUS .and. . SPONGY. Such ice hasn’t near the LASTING or COOLING QUALITIES of good solid ice, because the LIFE has gone. iFis dead, and falls to pieces rapidly. It doesn’t last “till the ice man comes again.” , If you havn’t already started, you can start ANY TIME. We can deliver by the CAKE, WEIGHT OR BY THE MONTH.

It would be, if the farmers- would give the attention to their orchards that they should. But orchards are neglected, trees arc not sprayed, and the insects are given full sway. As a result the fruit that is grown is small, scabby and inferior. Prof. John Craig, of Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station, says: "The annual loss arising from the incursion of destructive insects in the United States exceeds many times the yearly output of all the gold mines in the United States.” The loss is appalling, but SCIENCE has demonstrated beyond doubt the necessity of SPRAYING to rid orchards of destructive insects and injurious diseases.

About the worst investment that ?ny jnan can make for his own home is to buy POOR FLOUR—even though he might per­ haps buy at a little lower price than he would have to pay for good, dependable Hour. The bsst way to do, and the cheapest way to do, is to buy a flour that you KNOW is right; a flour that has a reputation back of it. With such a flour the wife KNOWS just how her baking is coming out. It makes her work easier. With a poor flour that you don’t know anything about there’ll be trouble. A batch or two of doughy bread will have to be thrown away, and all the money you thought you ware aaving by* buying the cheaper flour is gone. Counting the waste and worry, you paid more for the cheaper flour than you would have had to pay for the good. Is it wise; ip it economical to experiment longer?

Goodrich was ar- Hastings City Bank All admit that a correctly fitted garment, or suit of clothes, is of much greater value to the wearer .than an illfitting one. The greater value is not only in the SATISFACTION, but in the actual WEARING VALUE. This is doubly true in shoes. An ill-fitting garment may be worn WITHOUT HURTING, but it is not so with a shoe. An ill-fitting shoe often hurts your feef beyond the power of endurance. A good pair is often {brown away when only one-quarter, or one-hall worn out. Your MONEY IS WASTED and feet are often PERMANENTLY INJURED. • A specialist is one who has had special training in any one line, be it professional or business. We have had j Schantz has I oat very consistently. ; years of the very best kind of training in fitting shoes to feet so that they will be COMFORTABLE, STYLISH, and give you your MONET’S WORTH in wear. THAT is where we come in. That is WHY we are shoe specialists. All first class Shoe. Manufacturers strive to make a model that will FIT THE GREATEST NUMBER OF FEET. But it is utterly im |W«ble for any one manufacturer to fashion a model that will fit everybody s feet. Hence, WE MUST KNOW which lines to purchase, each being a complement of the other to make a grand whole, so we may be able to FIT EVERYBODY'S FEET. And that is where we specialize again in knowing WHAT TO BUY; WHEN TO BUY and WHERE TO BUY the shoe our trade MUST HAVE. Knowing the demands in MEN’S SHOES in this community we have chosen the LARGEST . and MOST FAMOUS LINE, the “Walk Over” Shoes for Men Many people wonder WHY MOST NEW SHOES “DRAW” THE FEET. When you buy a pair of shoes with ‘‘flat innersoles there is a drawing sensation present until the big joint of your great toe has made a. cradle for itself in the sole. Until this “cradle has been formed all the bones of the foot are “thrown out of gear, and comfort is impossible. You must have new shoes occasionally, but why cast the painful burden of moulding the soles on your feet when you can buy WALK-OVER-Shoes here with the soles already moulded? WALK-OVER inner-soles are moulded in the factory under 500 POUNDS PRESSURE while the shoe is “green” and in its most pliabls state. WALK-OVER SHOES are comfortable the first day you put them on. If you have trouble in getting shoes to fit you; if they do not look well; if they do not wear well, it will pay you to try a pair of WALK-OVER SHOES the next time. You will find them trustworthy in every respect. WALK-OVER A pair ol WlLI-DYEl SUNNE1 UFIMJ will io.ure you Hrfict lot c»f,rt. We Eave a large line of new and distinctive Oxfords. Any one of them will go well with your new spring suit. They are cut in the most tasty and smart patterns. Different shaped toes; broad, medium, narrow and raised. Soft skins and flexible soles help, but it is perfect tanning that makes the WALK-OVER the ideal shoe for summer wear. Shoes or Oxfords made from leather of the common tan­ nage “draw” the feet. Its the heat acting upon the chemicals used in tanning. When J J <6 ®UBbl you buy an OXFORD you want to buy one that will fit snugly around the ankle WITHOUT CHAFING, We have them in the trusty WALK-OVER make.

BROWN & MORGAN, People generally were quick to realize that ice from Long Lake could not be excelled in Quality. It is a lake fed from pure living springs. The water is deep and no decaying vegetable matter or impurities of any kind can get into the ice, as it does from shallow water ice. And there are no barnyards near by to pour forth their vile, poisonous drainage into the lake to pollute the water and taint the ice. If you have ever noticed ice that is cut near a barnyard you will notice that it sometime even turns yellow after it is cut. There is a reason for it that it is un*necessary to explain, and which everybody will understand. But would you consider such ice good for your household uses? * There isn’t a place in Michigan where ice is equal to the Long Lake quality, can be bought as cheaply as we charge.by the season. There is danger in the use of impure ice. During the hot months you use it in its melted state in your drinking water, lemonade and in a hundred different ways. If there are any germs or impurities you get them all. It makes all the difference in the world to you where your ice comes from.

That was one of our principal reasons in having our ice house centrally located. We can serve our patrons on short notice, and the ice is not ‘‘honeycombed” after a long haul through the sun. And you will find that those who deliver our ice are always thoughtful, accommodating and careful. We will employ only the best men; men who have experience aud brains and know how to make the best use of both in their work. We don’t ask you to take our word for this—ask our customers. We are thankful, however, that some Drain Commissioners of Michi­ gan are waking up to their sense of duty and are making those who are directly benefited by these heavy ex­ flt. Just because God sloped the land toward the Thornapple Creek'when he created it without our knowledge or consent. Every man who owns a foot of land on the flats of Thornapple Creek knew how God had made It when he bought it nnd we hope, if the Creek Is dredged, that the bur­ den will be put where It belongs for already we see men deeply In­ terested in circulating the petition who have not one cent of property to be taxed or one cent of tax to pay,’ so there certainly must be a graft ahead somewhere, somehow.

Many persons ascribed the loss of the crop to frost while by others It was thought that the cold rains at the blossoming period wash­ ed off the pollen, or perhaps kept the bee from working. That this was not the real reason why the . orchards failed to produce1 in the years men­ tioned can be seen from the fact that where orchards had been thoroughly sprnyM a fun crop was produced, provided the trees blossomed. A careful examination of the blos­ soms In the years mentioned, and In other seasons when the crop has .been lost, showed the flower stalks and calyx of the fruit to be covered with a greenish mold or mildew. This ma the apple-scab fungus, a diaeeee which later on attacks the leaves and thc growing fruit and often does great harm. Although thc Injury Is not as well understood, this fungus often causes even greater losses when the complete destruction but If the calyx ta much Injured, the fruit may drop after It has set and the ground may J>k covered with sinnli apples with numerous fungus spots upon them. This Is often spoken of as the "June drop.'.'' Like all fungus diseases the apple scab can be controlled by the use of Bordeaux mixture. This Is composed of three or four p6unds of coppsr sulphate and four pr. five pounds of stone lime In 50- gallons of water. After slacking the lime nnd dissolving the copper sulphate by placing It In a coarse bag and suspending it In ten gallons of water so thnt It will be just .below the surface, thc copper sulphate solution ta placed in the spraying barrel and diluted to 25 or 30 gallons.

The spray­ ing should be so-thorough as to give them a complete coating nnd. nt the same time, cover the opening leaves. To do this the trees should be spray­ ed from at least two sides and the pump should be one which will give n high pressure so as to produce a mist-like spray.

Abstract Block tato°so!d principal ■m media �T The MAN Who Will Not Be Bossed By A TRUST ♦ If [the farmers of Barry county will look at this Trust proposition in the right light, they can readily see that my interests are identical with theirs, * ♦ and any radical change in my business will affect them as much as it does me. The principal object of a TfliSt is to CONTROL 611 REGULATE PRICES and « J DESTROY COMPETITION. Don’t blame the trusts if they succeed; blame yoiirselies. It’s purely a business proposition with them, and business isn’t conducted along « ♦ sentimental lines—it’s COLD BLOODED. As long as they can bait you on, COAX YOU or FORCE YOU into buying ;.their’ goods they are going to keep right on J ♦ exacting tribute from you. ' . « For instance, before the International Harvester Trust was organized, a dealer could sell practically anything he wanted to. As an illustration, he ♦ ♦ . could handle such lines of the McCormick machinery as he wished, and in addition he could SELL ANY OTHER LINES which seemed to him best suited to the J ♦ needs of the farmers of Barry county. It LEFT HIM FREE to handle goods of competing companies, and thus secure competition prices. There is no question « ♦ but what that policy saved OlODfly for the consumers—the farmers. So far, so good. But let’s get into the question a little deeper, and see how the game * ♦ progressed. The Trust kept adding to its lines of machinery until to-day it makes and sells flieq article Of machinery Which 3 farmer Can (ISO OH his farm. Well, that 4 ♦ was a good thing—on the face of it, but along comes the Trust agent and says:. • « Mr. Townsend It Is against our policy to permit any dealer Io handle other makes of goods that compete with ours. our Mowers, our Wagons, our Buggies, OUR EVERYTHING to the exclusion of other lines. What then?' Why, there couldn’t be any more buying at competition prices. That would mean that You must sell our Binders, I would then have had to carry a complete line MADE BY A TRUST; OWNED ♦ ♦ BYf A TRUST j’and sold THROUGH ME to YOU at TRUST PRICES. I Would Have to Stop Selling The Johnston Binders, Mowers and Other Machines Simply Because They are not Made By the Trust ♦ ▲ \ Y ♦ ♦ a j would not do it. I proposed to RUN MY OWN BUSINESS in a wav that SUITED ME. I can sell a Johnston’ Binder, Mower, of any fafiiY intplemenr made bv the Johnston- Companv CHEAPER than vou can buy any Trust-made machine. AND THE JOHNSTON MACHINE IS JUST AS GOOD, AND JUST AS DURABLE AS ANY MACHINE MADE BY THE TRUST. Now thc Trust is capitalized at ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS. It has all kinds of money to hire smooth-tongued canvassers to%all on you, take up your time when you are busy and BORE THE LIFE out of you until you almost feel like BUYING A TRUST-MADE MACHINE JUST TO GET RID OF THE AGENT. I haven’t the money to'hire canvassers. I wouldn't hire them anyway, because if I did I COULD NOT AFFORD TO MAKE YOU AS LOW A PRICE ON THE MACHINES I SELL YOU. Did you ever stop to think that when you buy a Trust-made machine that YOU HAVE TO HELP TO PAY ALL THE SALARIES OF ALL THE CANVASSERS, just the same as you “have to help pay the Fiddlers” when you go to a dance. If you want to continue to dance to the Trust music just continue to buy Trust-made machines of Trust canvassers. If you don’t want to continue to dance to Trust music come here and see the machines NOT MADE BY A TRUST which are just as good as the best Trust-made machines, but which I WILL SELL YOU AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE. 1 won't COAX you, nor BORE you into buying. All I will ask is that you USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT. It I can’t offer you just as good machine?- at the price DON’T BUY. I can refer you to many of the most prominent farmers in this community who have bought machines oi me, and WHO ARE PLEASED WITH THEM. Trust Canvassers Will Tell You That I Do Not Carry Any Repairs For My Machines--BUT I DO--I Have a Full Line Always I will not handle ANY GOODS made by a trust. I can sell you just as good goods at a LOWER PRICE by not doing s<». I expect to carry on the -war against the Trust, believing that MY INTEREST and thc INTEREST OF EVERY BARRY COUNTY FARMER, is THE SAME., ft demands that we unite in an honest endeavor to freeze this and every other Trust ryit of our county. There are good reasons for this. You want COMPETITION. The Trust wants to control PRODUCTION and DESTROY COMPETITION. The ONLY REMEDY offered you is to DESTROY THE TRUST. But you ask "How can Farmers destroy a 120 MILLION DOLLAR TRUST’ There’s just ONE casv wav. JUST REFUSE TO BUY THEIR GOODS, and Trusts will disappear like ice cream at a Sunday School picnic. Evcrv INDEPENDENT machine you buy is a BLOW at the Trust. Keep it up and vou CAN and WILL BLOW UP THE TRUST. I WON’T HANDLE TRUST MADE GOODS. I DON’T BELIEVE IN TRUST METHODS. I THINK THEY ARE AS EVIL IN PRINCIPLE AS THEY ARE UNNECESSARY. THEY ARE LEECHES. FILCHING HONEST MONEY FROM YOUR POCKETS THAT THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED TO. I have an array oi INDEPENDENT goods in stock and am equipped to fight the TRUST in Barry County. I can do it successfully if vou will.consider your own interest and REFUSE to buy TRUST MADE GOODS until vou can at least call here and SEE WHAT I HAVE. NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE IN BARRY COUNTY I CAN MAKE IT PAY YOU WELL TO COME HERE AND BUY. If you want to help perpetuate thc Trust, and do your part to make it stronger so that it can “PULL YOUR LEG" HARDER in thc future just continue to buy TRUST MADE MACHINERY oi TRUST CANVASSERS.. I can stand it if you can, but don’t forget that YOU WILL BE HELPING TO PAY THE FIDDLER. Think it over. Where is your best interest? GET ON THE RIGHT SIDE. All Kinds of Farm Imple­ ments.

The woiDHR who is provided with an* inferior QUALITY of Flour is at a great disadvantage. One day her bread may perchance be good. The next time it will be heavy and soggy. She can't understand WHY. Sbe used the same amount of flour: did all the work the same way, and baked it in the same stove. The poor woman is heart-broken. She takes all the blame her­ self but it was not really her fault. It was due to the FLOUR. But bread baking failures are depressing and discouraging. They make women’s work harder. There is ONE sure.way to overcome all failure** on baking day. Use French’s White Lily Flour It is equally good for bread, cakes, and pastries of all kinds. It can’t help but be ALWAYS THE SAME, because it is always made of the same grade of cereals; by the same machinery: in the same way; and by the always steady, uniform water power that never has its “ups and downs” as has steam or electric power.

There is a true old saying, "WELL BOUGHT, HALF SOLD.” Il we had not reduced the buying end to a science, we would not be able to give you the cream irt every line of footwear. No matter what your occupation may be. or your need may demand, we can PLEASE YOU. Our splendid lines of shoes, recently purchased, are arriving daily. We have shoes for MEN, WOMEN, BOYS and GIRLS, and we are in a position to MAKE GOOD. We do not ask you to tell us the NUMBER of the shoe you wear. When you come here we measure your feet for length, width etc. We KNOW just what shoe we have to fit YOU. All feet are not alike, any more than all people are alike. Two men, for instance, may each wear a number nine shoe. A certain kind of shoe would give PERFECT COMFORT to one, and COM­ PLETE MISERY to the other. By the measurements we take, and our complete knowledge of the lines we handle, we fiUARANTEE are able to give perfect satisfaction to both. . . It has commonly been believed that most any kind of a shoe that was made of heavy leather and had thick soles would do for a work shoe. And many a farmer has his toes covered with corns', and his feet cramped out of shape and has suffered all sorts of torture just because he has been persuaded to f.t the flesh and bones of his feet into shoes that were nevem designed to fit feet shaped like his. It requires that some one KNOW HOW to fit the foot, and HAYE THE GOODS to do the fitting. As we have said. Til Shi BulltU It OlF BuillSS.

THE UP-TO-DATE WAY Fellow Farmers:- This bas been a cold backward spring. But you can assure yourself of successful crops nevertheless. . Science bas provided a way, however, to stimulate the growth of the tend­ er plants, make them strong and sturdy and advance them beyond the natu­ ral stage of an average season. Fertilizers cumppeed of tne right materials, mixed in scientific propor­ tions do the trick, and eave to the farmer the fruits of his labor in plowing, harrowing and seeding,, when without their use the crop may not pay cost of seed and work. ' “Homestead” fertilizers are made in Michigan by a company of long ex perience and honorable reputation for selling honest goods. Its “Bone Black’ brand is made of Wood and.bone, full 900 pounds of pure ground bone tb the ton. and is recommended for use because it is more than a stimulant; it is of real benefit to tbe land and gives results the second and third seasons as well an the first, differing from the chemical fertilizers which are useful only one year. We can refer yon to many farmers in this county who have used “Home­ stead” brands for tbe past four seasons with gratifying results, and shall be glad to furnish conclusive evidence to your own mind that It will pay YOU to uee some right now. Another Carload of “Homestead” ia now in transit We can take care of your needs.

This first spraying should consist of two pounds of arsen­ ate of lead In 50 gallons, and can be used in connection with Bordeaux mix­ ture. . .

Thia insect la the larval form of the codling moth, which appears in tho spring soon after the fruit has set nnd deposit* its eggs either upon the leaves or the young fruits. It was for a long time supposed that the eggs were laid In the calyx or blossom end of the apple, from the fact that when th- "r.rms hatch they ent thsir way Into the apple at this point, but this Is now known to be an error, as nlnetentha of the eggs are deposited upon the leaves. After the worms have hatched, they make their way fo the calyx of a fruit, tn the meantime feed­ ing upon the leaves and the skin of the fruit This Is one of the first Insects for which fruit trees were systematically sprayed and now that the Hfe-hlstory of the Insect is so well understood It has become a simple matter to control It, by means of arsenate of lead.

The first spraying la given within a week after the petals have fallen, taking pains to spray so . thoroughly ns to fill every one of the calyx cups with the poison­ ous solution. If the spraying In Re­ layed for much more than n week, the calyx lobes upon many varieties will close and the fruits will turn down, making It Impoaaible to deposit the poison within the calyx. The very fact however, that the calyx lobes close, nnd the flowers turn down, serves to prevent the washing away of the pois­ on nnd thus mnkea It practically Im­ possible for the worms to ent Into thr apples without getting n poisonous dose. From this. It can be seen that the success of the spraying will be meas­ ured by the thoroughness with which the work wns done. The average fruit grower thinks his trees are suffi­ ciently sprayed when the work Is not more than half completed. For this reason- although of course effectuni work can be done with n good’barrel pump, provided sufficient muscle Is used upon it. the best results 'have been obtained where a power outfit Is used, as with this a much higher pres- Hastings. Mich. Peruvian* Burled 7.000 Years. One nt the most notable discoveries regarding the early history of Peru has recently been made by Hewitt Myrlng. an English antiquarian. He had 2.000 specimens of pottery nnd weapons of the ancient Peruvians. Remains and relics of the early In­ habitants of Peru, which are said by scientists to date -from 4.000 to 7.000 B. C.. were found by Myrlng under nn old Inca burj-ing ground when he waa exploring In the mountains about 200 miles inland from Lima. The bodies in the burial ground were found to be in an excellent state of preservation, the hair, skin and cloth­ ing being preserved by the silicate of the soil. • ”. When the bodies were exposed to the air the bones and skulls crumbled Into dust, barefy. giving the explorer time to take photographs or tho mum­ mies. Each grave contained the re­ mains of food and glazed clap Jugs with two handles and a cover with a long, tapering spout, which were filled with a liquid supposed to have been a wine of, some kind. The cast of the features of these ancient Perevians resembled the Mon­ golians. with a scattering of negro and Indian type, according to the dis­ coverer. The warriors could enslly be distinguished by their great wood­ en war clubs resting on. the left arm or the huge copper-headed battle­ axes beaten-out of the pure metal. One chief had n long copper needle driven through this skull. AU the specimens of pottery were artistically designed In the shape of men or animals and the glaze was as perfect aa the day It was put on, pro­ bably about 6.000 years ago. Ancient Peruvians excelled in the art of mnkIng pottery, especially In the firing and decorating. In addition to the men and animals many of the speci­ mens were decorated with Chinese dragons and wlerd looking flab TRr setrtbnnfc'lnerffialds. and sailing craft like Junks. The most valuable portion of this discovery of antiquities, according to Mr. Myring. consisted of tho great urns, some of them six feet long and so heavy that It required three men to carry them. They were found bur­ ied beside mummlM, and the major­ ity of them had the features of the dead man or woman delicately carvurn or on a solid stand beneath. The faces of tha urns were all of a dark brown color, and glazed as smooth and hard as a billiard ball, as if they they had just left the hands of tho potter. From morning till night we are ever scattering the seeds whose howrest we cannot foretell, and oftenest never know. The soil in which they fail, the human heart—that soil Is so rich that of all these seeds none utter­ ly perish.

If you drink water from this shallow water ice you get your share of all this scum and filth. It makes a difference with you whether your ice comes from a pure deep water lake, fed by springs, or whether it comes from a shallow pond People are too apt to regard ice simply as ICE. without considering where it comes from. If it didn’t make any difference where ice comes from a man might just as well lay in his supply from a MUD-HOLE. The PURER and DEEPER the water the better the ice. The way is open for the people of Hastings to assure themselves of a supply of the purest and best of ice. No better can be obtained anywhere. And we challenge the fullest investigation of this claim. In fact the more you investigate the better we will be pleased, and the more certain YO U will be to follow our suggestion. Our large ice house is stored full of- ^h§ beet LONG LAKE ICE. Long lake has no inlet, but a good sized stream is'itB outlet. How is this lake fed? An investigation will show ybu that it is RED BY LIVING SPRINGS of the purest water. Its waters are deep, clear and pure. Ice formed on this lake partakes of the qualities of its water. Therefore the way is. easy for you to assure yourself of a supply of the nurest and best ice—contract with us. While it costs -more than it ever did to harvest our ice crop, we are offering it at the SAME LOW PRICE Just $1.40 a month for the season assures you of the best quality of ice, and,the best and most careful service. Every cake of ice is thoroughly cleaned before it leaves our ice house. No dirt from the ice, and no sawdust will get into your refrigerator to clog the pipes if you deal with us. Our ice business has more than doubled every year since we started three years ago. Oyer 200 customers look.to us for their su of ice.

Il’s the “staff of life”: , is consumed in steadily increasing quantities. One never gets tired of it. No meal is complete without it To get bread of the best flavor, the FLOUR MUST BE RIGHT. There is where we come in; for if you will nse French’s White Lily Flour put some good butter on the bread, chew it slowly without mixing it with a lot of other food or gulping it down with tea or coffee, we promise you THE TASTE OF GOOD BREAD. ’ ’ FKk’NCH'br WBITE LILY FLOUR is made from the best se­ lected winter wheat; is milled by the latest and best improved ma­ chinery; is made in a mill that is run steadily night and day; is run by water power, always even and steady. And we’ve had years of experience making it, so that we KNOW HOW. Barry county housewives have been acquainted with French’s White Lily Flour for many years. They know it is as absolutely pure a flour as can be made; that its results are uniform and uniformally good: that it is a dependable flour, and ALWAYS A DEPENDABLE FLOUR. Those who know about It by experience cannot be per­ suaded to “try some other kind. ” They are wise to the fact that when they have a good flour, one that is uniformally good and de­ pendable, one that with reasonable care will make good bread, and its results are ALWAYS satisfactory, then it is unwise to change. If your baking troubles are due to inferior flour, you can always cure them by using French’s White Lily Flour. We stand behind every sack with our positive guarantee of satisfaction. Why not order a sack of your grocer? Why not “get the habit” of using French’s White Lily Flour? There's no better flour made. WANTS; ’.

THE UP-TO-DATE WAY Fellow Fanners:- This has been a cold backward spring. But you can assure yourself of successful crops nevertheless. Science has provided a way, however, to stimulate the growth of the tend­ er plants, make strong and sturdy and advance them beyond the natu­ visiting them relatives and old friends. ral stage of an average season. Fertilizers composed of the right materials, mixed in scientific propor­ tions do the trick, and save to the fanner the fruits of his labor in plowing, harrowing and seeding, when without their use the crop may not pay cost of seed and work. / “Homestead” fertilizers are made in Michigan by a company of long ex­ perience and honorable reputation for selling honest goods. Its “Bone Black” brand is made of'blood and bone, full 900 pounds of pure ground bone to the ton, and is recommended for use because it is more than a stimulant; it is of? real benefit to the land and gives resiifts the second and third seasons as well as the first, differing from the chemical fertilizers which are useful only one year. We can refer you to many farmers in this county who have used “Home­ stead” brands for the past four season* with gratifying results, and shall be glad to furnish conclusive evidence to your own mind that it will pay YOU to use somS right now. Another Carload of "Homeatead” is now in transit. We can take cere of your needs. EDMONDS BROS.

Fellow Farmers:- This has been a cold backward spring. But you can assure yourself of successful crops nevertheless. Science has provided a way, however, to stimulate the growth of the tend­ er plants, make them strong and sturdy aqd advance them beyond the natu­ ral stage of an average season. Fertilizers composed of the right material*, mixed in scientific propor­ tions do the trick, and save to the farmer the fruits of his labor in plowing, harrowing and seeding, when without their use the crop may not pay coat of seed and work. “Homestead” fertilizers are made in Michigan by a company of long ex­ perience and honorable reputation for selling honest goods. Its “Bone Black” brand is made of blood and bone, full 900 pounds of pure ground bone to the ton, and is recommended for use because it is more than a stimulant; it is of real benefit to the land and gives results the second and third seasons as well as the first, differing from the chemical tertilizers-uhich are useful only one year. • We can refer you to many farmers in this county who have used “Home­ stead” brands for the past four seasons with gratifying Jesuits, and shall be glad to furnish conclusive evidence to your own mind that it will pay YOU to use some right now. Another C&rload of “Homestead” Is now in transit. We can tshe care of your needs. EDMONDS BROS Phone 18 HASTINGS. MICH. �TOPREVEHT BUCK ROT rSQLTKT *“ JTOCK MISINQ AWAY TO THE COUNTRY!

TO THE FARMERS OF BARRY COUNTY:— I put this question squarely up to YOU. Whether the greedy Harvester Troat shall dwnlnateBarry- county, dictate what machines may be sold, what persons shall Fell them, and put itself in a position to prey upon you by asking exorbitant prices—all this DEPENDS LPON^YOU. Before the Harvester Trust was organized a dealer coula handle whatever lines of farm machinery he pleased. The Trust now controls immense factories that make not only Binders and Mowers, but PRACTICALLY EVERY ARTICLE OF FARM MACHINERY THE FARMER USES. They are using the recognized TRUST METHODS, trying to force the Dealer to bu^ only such farm implements as this 1120,000,000 Trust manufacture themselves. Unless the dealer will handle only Trust-made goods in any given line, he is not allowed to handle any of their goods. For instance it used to be possible for a dealer to handle McCormick machinery and other competing makes. .Now the Trust says to the dealer, “If you handle-the McCormick or any other Trust made machinery, yon must not handle any competing line.” There You Have It: It's the Same old Trust Story, true of Standard Oil, true of the International Harvester Company, true of every Trust: DESTROY COMPETITION, CONTROL PRO­ DUCTION, BOOST PRICES. . The Trust agent said to me. "Mr. Townsend it w against our policy to permit any dealer to handle other makes of goods that compete with ours. You must sell OUR BINDERS, OUR MOWERS, OUR WAGONS, OUR CREAM SEPARATORS, OUR EVERY THINfi TO THE EXCLUSION OF OTHER LINES. That would effectually end competition. I would then be BOSSED BY A TR UST, who would fix not only BUYING PRICES but SELLING PRICES. My stock would be MADE BY ATRUST, OWNED BY A TRUST, and SOLD BY ME TO YOU AT TRUST MADE PRICES and TERMS. I would have to-Bt op selling JOHNSTON BINDERS, MOWERS and OTHER MACHINES simply because they are not made by the Trust. I HAVE taken my stand । WILL NOT BE BOSSED BY A TRUST Now my Farmer Friends, you will see if you think this matter over that YOUR INTERESTS and MY INTERESTS are identical in the Trust Proposition. Don’t blame the Trust if they succeed in Deploying Competition and Boosting PRICES so as to pay dividends on their immensely watered Capital; just blame yourselves if you are helping it along. I can sell you a Johnston mower and make a reasonable profit for $45.CO. The Tiust asks f55.(*‘O for no better machine. In other words they want 26 percent above a fair Profit on their Trust-ma^le mower. That extra profit, if you are foolish enough to pay it, goes to pay big dividends and salaries for the Trust, and to pay smooth tounged canvassers to come and bore you to death with their Trust-made talk for their Trust-made goods. I can sell you a Johnston Binder, just as geed as any Trust-made Binder, at a saving of from 15 to 25 per cent less than their asking price. I Keep A FULL LINE Of REPAIRS For The JOHNSTON And Other Machines I Sell The Johnston Company has been making farm machinery for 60 years. They have a high reputation for the quality of their machines and for fair dealing. I have unalterably decided that I will not handle any goods made by a Trm-t. I can sell you JUST AS GOOD GOODS al a LOWER PRICE by not doing so. Our interests are iden­ tical therefore. Let ns get together on a,basis of FAIR DEALING wn&^fUTUAL AD VANTAGE. Let me show you the Johnston machines. Let me refer you to people who are satis­ fied users of them. We will deal if you will see me. I will save you a good bunch of money, and still make a fair profit on machines that are the equal of the best the Harvester Trust can offer.

For 35 years we have made French’s White Lily Flour. We know just what grains to use and what not to use. We know just how to blend our grains. That may not mean, much to you, but if you were in the milling business it would. O" 85 years experience in buying and blending grains has taught i great many things that you would have to PAY some other millerj You might not have to PAY in DOLLARS AND CENTS but you pay for it in INFERIOR QUALITY. The fact that we are compel to run night and day the year round insures you a better, smoother, and more even grade of flour than it would be possible to make in a mill that starts in the morning and stops at night. And the smooth even quality of French’s White Lily is enhanced by^nur always-thesame water power, which is always uniform. Whjfnot try French’s White Lily? Ask your Grocer for it and in­ sist upon having it , MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER. MILLS R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor. Michigan.

Some one merchant, or some firm. through „ handling dependable merchandise at right prices, and giving customers a SQUARE DEAL at all times, has become recognized as the LEADER in his particular line. Our aspiration is to Ke the LEADER in the shoe business in Hastings. Our chief thought is NOT TO MAKE A SALE,‘but to give every customer SATISFACTION, and . ..hi* MONEY'S WORTH. This advertigement will be read by quite a few persons who will bear witnew to the truth of this statement. Within the past few weeks quite a few people have called here to buy shoes. We tried bard to fit them, but we did not have anything in stock that fitted RIGHT. We frankly told them so, and these few probably purchased elsewhere. Probably we could have sold shoes to the majority of these people. But being people of good intelligence and judgment it wouldn't have taken them long to discover that the shoes were not satis­ factory, did not FIT RIGHT, would not LOOK RIGHT, and as a result would not^WEAR WELL. True .we are out the PROFITS on those few sales, but we believe that those same people WHOM WE COULD NOT FIT will have more CONFIDENCE in us than they had before, because they KNOW tkt we didn t and WOULDN T. try to palm off a pair of ill-fitting shoes on them. We believe they will REMEMBER, and will call here the next time they want a pair of shoes. We want the CONFIDENCE of the P<opk we want to come into dose gtnoml touch with them. We will appreciate any suggestion from anyone as to HOW we can render better SHOE SER­ VICE. Only by this means, coupled with our years of experience in the shoe business and out promise to MAKE GOOD, can we expect to become LEADERS. A* we told you in our first announcement, we haven t large capital. We’ve had to “go slow.’’ We are pleased to state that our trade has far surpassed our expectations. Next fall we will have a much larger, better and more up-to-date stock of goods than we have had and will try harder than ever to merit both your CONFIDENCE and your PATRONAGE.

This natural citadel, springing ab­ ruptly from the surrounding plain, n'hs reached by a secret way entered by a cave leading up through the heart of the mountain and going into the garden at' Abe top, which Is now the court of the paface. None but the Tzins knew how to pass thus through the earth from the valley to the mountain top, and many legends have found their way through the heart of Chapultepec, into which the Monte­ zuma was wont to disappear, leaving his attendants to toll up the winding road, to reappear as If by magic on the heights above. The romantic, route is now prosai­ cally modernized by a paved way through the cave and an efevator in the shaft, while a guard stands at the door, but the great tree of Monte­ zuma and Its fellows are unchanged and unchanging. Mexico has some historic trees, which, both In point of age and the date of ths event they mark, are so old that beside them the Washington tree at Cambridge and the peace tree at Santiago de Cuba are mere sapl­ ings.

The subsequent conduct of the Invaders was which as to give the Impression that they were demons In­ stead of gods, and they were requested to leave Tenochtltland in decided terms, emphasized with the presence of a fierce Aztec army whose-atroci­ ties the Spaniards had good reasons to fear, having had ample ocular de­ monstration of the treatment accord­ ed to captives In war.

Prof. GugMelmo Ferrero, according to SucceM ta not one of those pliant visitors who In America find Ameri­ cans charming, but on their safe re­ turn describe us as "impoeslble" and "barbarous." Professor Ferrero sur­ vived a few months of lectures and dinners In America and has returned to Rome without mental or other In­ digestion. In a letter to a Roman newspaper, he expresses his admira­ tion for America and hta hopes for her tarlaltata, that our life Is one long search for the dollar, that we do not know how to rest or how to loaf and invite our souls and he asserts that of the Americans he met many were people "whose mental cultivation, both os regards breadth and refine­ ment. was In no wise Inferior to the same class in Europe." Ferrero says something which pleases us more. "The real masters of the great republic,” states this historian "are not the millionaires, nor the trusts, nor the politician class, but the people or. If you like, tbe major­ ity, which is made a cult, a religion of, in America.” ' For this good work let us be duly grateful.

Human hands are not capable of building strong enough to withstand tbe fury of nature’s elements, and in their encircling fold the rftronge^t building is but as a reed in a_giant's grasp. If yon want to see destruction then go to some section that has been , visited by one of these whirling monsters, and fun will see flights and scenes that you would believe impossible had yon’hot seen them with your own eyes. Fire and lightning.have their terrors, but they pale into in­ significance in the presence of tbe cyclone or tornado. And no section is exempt. The peaceful little hamlet that has never experienced one in the past may be completely obliterated to­ morrow, and tne accumulated savings of a life-time wiped out in the twinkling of an eye. It is beyond human power to prevent the appearance of Cyclones and Windstorms, but you can protect yourself against the losses they cause, at a very small cost : THE MICHIGAN MUTUAL TORNADO, CYCLONE AND WIND-STORM INSURANCE ♦ COMPANY, OF HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, IS THE LARGEST IN MICHIGAN < And one of the Three Largest of Its Kind in the World. Brief History of Michigan Mutual Tor. nado. Cyclone end Wind-Storm Inaurance Company, of — Hastings, Michigan. _ This Company was organised In 1S85 with about 100 mem­ beta and about 8100.006.00 M»tf sable capital. To-day, as it oean lU 25th birthday, it baa nearly 45,000 members and eighty million (850,000,000) dollar* ****e*ible cap­ ital. That’s going some, and the company io growing more rapidly today than ever before. The following pyramid will tell yon of our growth. TIE WISDSTORK C**MIY'*ffUMII, It la Growing more rapidly now than ever before. To-day we have nearly 45,000 Members and EIGHTY MILLION (*80,000.000) DOLLARS ASSESSABLE CAPITAL < WHAT IT HAS COST TO INSURE IN THIS COMPANY It costs ONE DOLLAR to join the Michigan Mutual Tornado, Cyclone and Windstorm Insurance Company- When you join you pay ONE ADVANCE AS­ SESSMENT of 20 CENTS on each $100 insured. Since the Company was organixed in 1885 (nearly 25 years ago) ONLY TWO ASSESSMENTS HAVE BEEN LEVIED. Each one of these assessments was for 10 CENTS on EACH $100 INSURED. Thus the man who took out a policy in this Company in 1885 (nearly 25 years ago) has only PAID $5.00 FOR HIS INSURANCE FOR ALMOST 25 YEARS. The total cost items to the policy holder on a $1,000.00 POLICY TAKEN OUT IN 1885, and continued down to this time are as follows: I14S.TW lW.

For the past 25 yearsit has cost a member of this company an AVARAGE of about 20 CENTS A YEAR TO CARRY A $1,000.00 POLICY in this company. We have paid every loss promptly and fully; we own our own office building; we have plenty of CASH ON HAND. There’s no telling where the next storm may strike. It may be in your locality. It isn’t wise to “lock the barn after the horse is stolen.” Fortify yourself against loss before. Will you continue to run the chance of having your buildings destroyed to save a few cents a year?

But first let u* see what are the general quali­ fication* for success In this Industry? I think nearly everybody will agree that the same qualities which bring success in other occupation* will be needed in this. What are the*e quali­ ties? First of an perhaps, ta indus­ try. hut industry alone won’t take u* very far along that thorny road that lead* to success. Intelligence, good Judgment, perseverance, love for the and neither sex hu* a monopoly of these attributes. They belong to In­ dividuals. both men and wombn. It seems natural for women to' pay close attention to . the small detail* of a business and this Is of great Im­ portance In raising poultry: then the love for cleanliness and order, which ta strong in most women, and the patience which women, especially married women have learned to ex­ ercise and their natural aptitude for the care of lhe young art combine to make them especially suited to this industry. We sometime* hear the objection made that women haven't the physi­ cal strength thst Is needed for this work, but I believe thst any woman make her own living* at any other oc­ cupation will be strong enough to do most of the work on a fair-sized poultry ranch, and even a delicate oman will gain strength from this ORDER FOR PUBLICATION. lumber of and In the Work Is spend a morning gpraj-ing chicken houses than to spend H Participating In a department .storg bargain scrim­ mage. and who •VT-”’-”’ * ' man who wasn’t I »n* enough for the latter occupati unless she was sick fn bed.

I think thta really ta a weak point in women’s qualifications for poultry raisers and one that can be overcome only by persistent effort, and »uch effort ta usually attended by bruised fingers, black, and blue spot* and sometimes ruined tempera. Then finally having done nil else, have women the basine» ability to successfully market their products? That of course rests with the individ­ ual. but I nm sure-that we can all recall many Instance* where women have shown real skill in dtapoalng of the products of their labor nnd I be­ lieve that they will not be found wanting In this test. It Is encouraging to notice the in­ creasing number of well educated wo­ men who are taking up poultry work. when many women felt that work of this kind was far beneath them, but nos- we are all beginning to'appreclate ns never before, ths dignity of manual labor and especially the value of all branches of agriculture. 4 Lhe First Hands Handsdo not touch GOLD MEDALFLOUR at the mill.

Mr. Montague was bom in Hadley, Mass., July 30, 1813. In his early youth Mr. Montague showed a strong abolition­ ist tendency, attending anti-slavery meetings near his home in Hadley. He frequently spoke at these gather­ ings although repeatedly warned that he was endangering his life at the. hands of pro-slavery sympathizers by so doing. On coming west he associ­ ated himself with others who desired to see the abolition of slavery, meeting with thirty-five others tn Ann Arbor In the winter of 1336 In an abolition movement, probably the first gathering of'the'kind tn Michigan. Mr. Monta­ gue also took an active interest in the temperance cause, attending the first temperance convention "held In the capitol that highly amuses the depart­ ment wherein It la received, but no missive has created more mirth than one received the other day In which was filed an emphatic protest against a section of ths new primary election measure. The writer stated that he understood the bill prohibited the printing of ballots on yellow paper and he Inquired why this Insult had been tendered to thousands of good citizens of the state. Some one struck up a song that contained words ap­ propriate. when the letter was read and even- one laughed, as they real­ ized that nn orangeman had taken of­ fense at a section at present in the law and which when explained has no offensive meaning.

A MIS Some are saying that I am catting prices on Binders and Mowers and selling them with out a profit, in order to hurt my competitor’s business, and to advertise my own. This is a mistake, as I am not selling anything without a profit Profit it what I went in busi­ ness for. Yba cannot buy a rod of fence, or a pound of fence staples unless you pay me a profit You cannot buy a wagon, a buggy, a plow; a harrow, a roller, a harness, a lad­ der, a stove, a roil of roofing, a coil of hose, a sweat pad, a cultivator, a plow point a stock rack, or any other article I sell without paying me a profit Why how long would I do business if I was doing it without a profit? I am not selling Binders and Mowers without a profit And the man who would want to buy any of the above named goods without paying a profit on them would not be a friend to the dealer. And I for one should not want his trade. But I am satisfied with one profit on Binders and Mowers for I put every cent of it in my own pocket Mot a cent goes to pay dividends to a tlSO,000,000 dollar Trust located in some other State. Then I don’t pay any of it to canvassers who come and bore the life out of you. I don’t have any. I do my own work. 1 like to do it.

CONVENTION FOR ASSAULTING OFFICER cosed of Swatting Officer. In an opinion handed down by Judge Smith Tuesday, the motion -made by the defendant's attorney to quash the case against Norman Hagerman, accused of assaulting an officer, has been denied. The defendant, therefore, will have to face trial. .The motion to quash was based on the fact that Con­ stable William Smith. who altempted to arrest Mr. Hagerman. was not armed with a warrant. As has previously been staled. Mr. Hagerman vanquished the , officer of the law. while an attempt was being made to arrest him for Intoxlcation.

Science and a a Industry That airships are a practical means of navigation through the air has been demonstrated so conclusively as to be no longer a matter of doubt. They will prove of great value In warfare. Naturally the minds of Inventors have been turned In the direction of how to destroy airships. Anything tike the Zeppelin airship which is lifted by means of a large silk gas bag offers a . comparatively large mark. And now a German Inventor has devised and -the Kruppe are making a cannon that greet, and can be fired rapidly. To enable it to follow an airship it is mounted on an automobile wagon, but pan be quickly detached for firing. . The. ray fish found In San Francisco bay is a queer example of sea life.

CAREFULLY You have a right to know that the money you earned and saved is in a safe place, where it is available at any time. Do you know of an investment that is absolutely safe, without any risk whatever, that offers large returns on the money? Perhaps there are suefi, but the small investor never hears of them. After everything has been said about investing your savings in the many enterprises that are con­ stantly offered, the savings bank is the best place for the man who saves. Here he may place his savings on deposit and receive a stated amount of interest regularly. In the end, a fixed rate of interest that is consistent with safety is better than the promise of large returns that never materialise. Wm. Kllpfer ........... City Green House Geo.

There were two other girls, aa elderly man and a boy. They walked to the castle and stood at the gate uniting to know if Btrangvre were admitted; but, since there appeared to be no gntekeepet about, Eliza led the way In. They hadn’t gone a dozen steps before a man In overalls, bls hands covered with black groase, came out of a basement door and. seeing tbe party approach­ ing. waited MU they came up. “ 'Are strangers admitted to the cas­ tle?' asked Eliza. ‘ I •' 'Not today.’ from Indianapolis to see it How dis­ appointing!" “ 'And where is IndianapolisF asked the man.

She soon noticed that any one they met showed surprising deference to their guide. “‘Who to the man in overallsY she asked of a lackey. “‘He's Lord Walter Furgeson, hto grace’s youngest son.' “‘You don't mean it!

Thereto nothing here leaa than 300 years old. not even the furniture.’ “ 'Well, then. I think It time you got some new things. If a chair lasts twenty-years In America we think It's doing well.

And when their guide led them to the gate she took a half crown from her portemonnale and banded It to him. He didn't want to take It. but- she said: 'Nonsense!

The prize promised was a sergeantcy In the artillery. But tho candidate found that bo was unable to carry out bls prom­ ise, inasmuch ns It required six years’ service to qualify n man for tbe rank. He became thoughtful, but finally saw light “Does ft require six years to. qualify a man for a lieutenancy?" he asked one who knew. ■ “Certainly not." waa the reply. “Well, make young Blank a lieuten­ ant. then," said the candidate, with a sigh of relief. Blank was thus made a lieutenant for no other reason than that bo was not fit to be a sergeant. Phons 551 SOMETHING NEW NATIONAL CEMETERY VASES FOR. CUT FLOWERS Call at tbe Greenhouse and see- them.

FLOUR IS FLOUR But all flour is not alike any more than all silk is alike. Two millers can take wheat from. the same bin. One will make. GOOD FLOUB, the other POOR FLOUR. It's all in KNOWING HOW. That’s why there is nothing so varying and uncertain in QUALITY as bread. Some bread is dry; some sticky; some light; some heavy; some sweet and appetizing; some sour and nauseating. WHY? The flour is responsible largely, if bread is made RIGHT. An inferior flour will not mil well and will make bread that is dark and streaked. It is almost impossible to make good bread with POOR FLOUR, and UNIFORMITY in flour is jtst as im­ portant as QUAL1T.Y. If tbe flour ISN’T UNIFORM, and constantly changes, then the cook is “all at sea" and new trouble turns' up at every baking.

Plowing and cultivating Is also de­ sirable when trees are not doing well, but If persisted In for a term of years, the humus and fibre of the soli' will disappear and It will soon become so that It will hold neither moisture nor plant food, and suffer seriously from washing. Fog these reasons It Is sel­ dom desirable to keep up the cultiva­ tion until after the middle of July or first of August and. then with the test working seed to crimson or mammoth ley. if the trees are already making sufficient growth. These crops help the trees to ripen In the tall, lessen the Injurj' from deep freezing in win­ ter, end also furnish a considerable amount of humus when turned under. Combination Sod and Tillage. For apple orchards In particular, some combination of sod and tillage often gives satisfaction. While the trees are small, some hoed crop may be grown for a number of years, but this should be discontinued when It becomes difficult to properly cultivate the trees, or when the crops occupy the feeding ground of the tree roots. After that, the center of the space be­ tween the rows of trees may be seeded to clover In June, and the strip at either aide of the trees cultivated for another month, when a cover crop may bd sown. The next year the clov­ er crop Is turned under early In June nnd th^land cultivated for two . or three weeks, when mammoth . clover may again be sown in the spaces run­ ning at right angles to those seeded the previous year, and the strips along the trees rows may again be.cultlvat- YOU ARE A GOO8E1 When you go ripping round tbe house, A-Bwearlng at your wife And making all the family ttve A miaerabie life.

STEV0K �THE “WHAT’S *■ This Store is Known as “THE BEST FOR THE MONEY STORE” And the story of how it came to receive that name is interesting and of value as indicating the progress of this store along right lines, and its growth in popular favor and confidence. *1 was brought up to value truth and to appreciate fair dealing; so I am not entitled to any credit for having the idea, when I engaged in business for myself, that there was only one road leading to success, and that was the straight road, and that these were the POINTS alonglthe way: (1) SELECTING THE VERY BEST LINES OF GOODS. (2) JUDICIOUS BUYING. (3) A MOD­ ERATE PROFIT WHICH WOULD BE FAIR TO THE CUSTOMER AND JUST TO MYSELF. (4) TREATING EVERYONE COURTEOUSLY. (5) GIVE HONEST VALUES IN EVERY TRANSACTION. • (6) GIVE EVERY CUSTOMER A SQUARE DEAL. (7) RENDER A REAL SERVICE, AND THEN GUARANTEE SATISFACTION. (8) DO JUST AS I ADVERTISE. In every purchase and sale of goods, I have these POINTS constantly in mind, and have adhered to them in every transaction. Every January when I have made my footings for the year, I have noted with pleasure a splendid increase in the volume of business over the year before, and so far 1909 eclipses all previous sales records. . As to the name? several people in the past made this remark to me: “I like to buy here because I always get THE BEST FOR THE MONEY.” So many repeated this statement from time to time that it was adopted as the store name. And people who have had the most experience with this store will assure you that it’s TRUE TO THE NAME. . If you have any Clothing needs; if it’s seasonable Underwear, Neckwear, Shirts or Hats or Caps you want, let us show you the VALUES your money will buy in these lines at this store. If others -hundreds of them—find that they get THE BEST FOR THE MONEY here, you will have the same pleasant experience. I'll be glad if you will put this store to the test. The proof is up to you for the asking. G. F.

The Most Succ Men Of To-Day Commenced life with comparatively nothing. How have they suc­ ceeded in accumulating property? It’s a question that ought to vitally interest hundreds and nundreds of young men in this city and county to-day who have formed the “habit” of spending their money as fast as they earn it, or a little faster. Just sit down for a little while and? think of all the men you know, who are regarded as well-to-do- You look forward to the time when you can be in as “easy circumstansee.” How did those men commence life? Probably nine tenths of them didn't tommence life under half as favorable circumstances as bud round you. How did they succeed while you, perhaps, find it difficult to make both ends meet? They are no smarter than you are; they didn't make as much money; they didn’t have as good chances as you.. The secret of it all is that “THEY SAVED” There’s the stumbling block in the path of too many. Failing to save • is the cause of nine out of ten failures of young men. Money “comes easy, and goes easy. ” They feel that they must keep up a certain ap­ pearance and acquire certain habits, that make a comfortable old age “out of the question.” They are mortgaging the future to burn up a little pleasure at present They absolutely overlook the “pleasure of saving, of “knowing that you are getting ahead,” that you are on the road to comfortable old age; that there’ll come a time in the future when you can “take life easy”; that if anything happens to you, you* will be able to take care of yourself. No matter what you earn, young man, make up your mind to deposit part of it in OUR SAVINGS DEPARTMENT every week, and DO IT. ‘Doing it” is the neces­ sary part. If you will do this every week for a few year?; vou will be surprised how soon you’ll have $1,000 to your credit, then $2,000, then $5,000 and more.

All this is very interesting indeed TO THE HOUSEWIFE, but she cannot help noticing that none of the makers of these flours offer TO BAKE THE BREAD, or suggest any relief to the weary home maker that will save her the labor and worry of making the bread, and the extreme discomfort of baking it in a hot kitchen and over a hot stove.

The pure peat gas. with a heating value of 145 to 155 B. T.

The Important part of the discovery Is that of the ammonium sulphate re­ covered from peat with slightly more than 1.5 per cent combined nitrogen ment was sufficient In quantity to pay the entire expense of the process and give a small profit, leaving the gas which amounted to some 48.000 cubic with 152 B.

THE EFFECT iYotz’m that time I have sold over lour Hu Thousand Dollars worth of Barry County -----Estate, thereby greatly increasing its value and creating a steady and growing demand far our farm property.—THE RESULTS Every owner of a farm in this county knows that it was next to an impossibility to^et anything like a fair value, if for any reason he wished to sell his farm, before I commenced my foreign advertising in farm papers of large circulation and thereby creating a demand for Barry County Real Estate. I received at once a spontaneous and continued hearty co-operation from a very large majority of the owners of Barry County farm property. Still there are a great many who must be classed as “back numbers," who insist they would not list their farms with a real estate dealer, nor would they buy a farm of a Real Estate man. WeU, that can't be helped. You can tell them by the shape of their heads, most of it beina below their ears. They still argue that • the world does not move: that the Mississippi River runs up hill, and that a saloon is a good thing for up-to-date property owner, if he wishes to sell immediately lists his property with an up-to-date, wide awake, advertising Real Estate man, as he knows that is where people go to get information, who wish to buy. And the up-to-date man, who wishes to buy, knows that that is the place to Ashe argues, to secure a bargain, one must from a party who wishes to sell. Hence if they did not wish to sell they would not list their property. Now to still further increase the value of our county, and to create a greater demand for our farms, it is absolutely necessary for you to list your property NO W. Don't wait. When you come to town next Saturday come up and talk it over with me. lam now starting the largest campaign of foreign advertising I have ever made, thoroughly covering New York, Pennsylvania. West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mich­ igan. 1 Now the larger the assortment of property lam able to show the enquirers the larger the number of prospective buyers I will be able to get to visit Barry County and the more farms will be sold. The larger my list of property for sale, the more buyers it will attract, exactly as a larger store, with a larger stock. attracts the shoppers.

If you are, then it will PAY YOU to give the paint question a lot of consideration. Poor paint is about the MOST EXPEN­ SIVE and most unsatisfactory .investment you can make. If you have ever had any experience along that line you know the above statement is true. Poor paint chalks and ’flakes off, and no matter how good a paint you may put on top of it afterwards, you can always notice the defects of-the original coat of POOR ..PAINT-, Some _ people have an idea that " paint is paint,” and the kind don’t make any difference. Such an idea is a great mis- ' take and an expensive mistake. There is good paint and poor paint, just as there is good leather or cloth, and poor leather and cloth. .And you can be just as easily mistaken in buying PAINTS as you can in buying any other commodities. The best way for you to do is to buy paint made by some reliable manufacturer, sold'by ’ some reliable.dealer, and that has pleased those who have used it. PAINTS th. PHILIP H. SCHANTZ, DIED Gunsmith, Wednesday. Melbourne Thompson and J. M. am! ory FnSln. - • 708 0«8 80 runs L Q I HAVE SOLD THE Made by Longman & Martinez, of New York. After a good deal of investigation I found them to be THE BEST paints on the market. And after my 20 years of experience, and the flattering reports of those who have used them, I have never hhd the first inclination to make any change, as I have had many opportunities to do. I can refer you to a long list of satisfied customers if you will cal! at my store, or write me. This ought to satisfy you that the paints are perfectly reliable. But here is a point that PEOPLE DON’T THINK ABOUT, and perhaps don’t know about. When you buy a thin liquid paint, doubtless THREE-QUARTERS of it is PURE LINSEED OIL. You pay $1.50 to $1.75-per.gallon for your paint, but you can buy linseed oil for 65 CENTS A GALLON. Is it profitable for you to pay $1.50 to $1.75 a gallon for linseed oil in paint, when you can buy it for 65c a gallon fresh from the barrel? ”jlere is another point in fayor of the L. & M. Paints. They come to you in a semi^paste form, and you have to add from three-quarters to one gallon of linseed oil to every gallon of a L. & M. Paint. Thus you pay the “paint price” for the paint, and the “Linseed Oil" price for the* Linseed Oil. You will find that L. & M. Paints are the CHEAPEST you can buy for this reason: With every gallon of L. & M. Paint you will have to add from three-fourths to one gallon of oil. I can point to a large number of cases where a gallon of oil had to be used to every gallon of paint. To be safe we will say three-fourths of a gallon. The paint will cost you $1.75 per gallon, and three-fourths of a gallon of oil. will cost you about 49c. This will .. make I# gallons of paint cost you $2.24. You will pay. $1.50 for a gallon of thin liquid paint, so i& gallons of it would cost you $2.62 or 38..qcnts more than L. &. M. paint—THE BEST PAINT. Here is another point that you will admit and that is that paints made by machinery are superior, if PROP­ ERLY MANUFACTURED.. They are mixed better and produce a smoother, more even quality of PAINT. L. & M. paints have been made for OVER 30 YEARS, with the utmost degree of care. Only the finest mater­ ials that money can buy and PURE LINSEED OIL are used in their composition, AND NOTHING ELSE. And the best of machineiy assures their cost, ofaanyluction qt the lowpst possible cost for labor. They are sold at a very low price considering the QUALM#. Jt'’wouldn’t be expected however that they would compete in price with some of the THIN, LIQUID PAINTS, the’ chief Component of which is LINSEED OIL that YOU CAN BUY fresh from the barrel, FOR 65 CENTS A GALLON. And Fet me add right here that Linseed Oil should be bought fresh from the barrel at 65 cents a gallon, rather than in a scaled tin can, labelled "paint, at $1.25, $1.50 or $1.75 a gallon. When you buy L. & M. paints you artQsure of getting just as good, and just as durable paint as is made. And when you have your house, or other building, all painted you will find that it has COST YOU NO MORE than it would if you had used a cheaper and more inferior paint, because L. & M. PAINTS spread over the surface better. That’s why in every L. & M. color book you will find the following: TO THE CONSUMERS OF L * M. PAINT Any building that Is not aatisfnctorlly painted with our paint. LONGMAN & MARTINEZ Before you buy any paint it will pay you to cal! and see me( write me, or phone me. Don’t make any mis­ take in buying your paints. You can t make a mistake if you buy L. & M. PAINTS. W. J. HOLLOWAY, THE DRUGGIST, comlng Pioneer of Barry Co. • the summer vacation. Philip H.

The one thing to have in mind Is that In a wet season, it Is imperative that the tops are kept covered with Bordeaux mixture from the time they are eight inches high until the tubers are practically grown. If this la done there can be no blight or rot. Unless the late varieties are planted before June, and one to’ three weeks later' than this is preferrable, it is seldom that spraying is required be­ fore the 1st of August. 'Even in dry time and again ten days or two weeks later, especially as, if the weather slble to check the disease if the early sprayings have been omitted. If the weather in August Is favorable for the blight, the treatment should be kept up until four or even five applications have been made. The whole secret of success Is In spraying at the right time and doing It thoroughly. Care should also be taken to dilute the cop­ per sulphate before adding the lime and the latter should, of course, be carefully strained. In making the Bordeaux use four pounds of copper sulphate and the same amount of lime in 50 gallons of lime Is used and, although the use of five or six pounds of lime Is desirable for fruit trees, there is less occasion for It when spraying potatoes or other crops with fixed nozzles.

Exports Fall Off. It ia now apparent that the exports from the United Stntm, in the fiscal year which ends with the present month will fall materially below those of 1*08 and 1*07, and alightly below those of 1905. Tbe total value of do­ mestic merchandise exported In 1*08 was 1.8*5 million dollars. In 1907 1.854 millions, and In 190S 1.718 mil­ lions. these figures being In round terms. .The 11 months' figures of the Bureau of Statistic.’. Just made pub­ lic. Indicate that the dome*tic exports for the full fiscal year wlU be nearly 200 millions below the average of 1908 and 1907, and perha)>a 50 mil­ lions below those of 1906. The causes of this marked decline in the export trade of the United States are practically those which have produced similar conditions In other parts of the world—a reduction of the general demaml for merchan­ dise and a material reduction In the prices In certain of the most import­ ant articles exported. That the world's markets are taking less produce In 1*07-9 than 19*7-8 Is quite apparent from tq,e figures published from month to month by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor. The total Imports of our largest customei«M>rVnlted Kingdom for example, were In the 10 months ending with April. 1909. 128 millions below those of the corresponding months of the preceding year; and our own exports tn that country In the same period of time fell 48 million dollars. Canada show* for the 11 months ending with February. 1909. a fall of *8 million dollars In her Im­ ports; and our own figures of exports to that country show a fall of 11 mil­ lions In the 10 months ending with April. iro9 Germany shows a fall of 101 millions in Imports In the cal endnr year 190R compared with those of 1907. India shows a fall of 16 millions In her Imports in the 11 months ending with February. 1909. compared with the corresponding months In the preceding year. Japan shows for the 3 months ending wlfh March, 1*09. a fall of 16 millions In her imports: Mexico for the 8 months ending with February. 1909. n fall of 32 millions: nnd <'uba for the 12 months endlns In December. 1908. a fall of 20 million In her Imports. Thus In nearly all of the countries which we class ns nur principal customers general importation* show a .marked decline. This decline In demand by the great Importing countries of the world has made itself apparent in the export figures of nearly all exporting countries. The Australian <'ommonwelth shows n drop of 38 millions of exports In the calendar year of 1908 as compared with 1907: Brazil a drop of 49 mil­ lions In the year 1*0* as compared with 1907; Germany a drop of 23 mil­ lions in her exports for the calendar year 1907; Mexico a decline of 8 mil­ lions for the 8 month* ending with February. 1909. c. mpared with the corresponding month* of the preceding year: Russia n drop of 37 millions in the calendar year 190*. compared with the Immediately precedin* year; Swit­ zerland a drop of 21 millions tn 1908 compared with 1907; and the United Kingdom a drop of 220 millions in the 10 months ending with April. 1909 compared with corresponding period In the preceding year. Slightly Mixed. A clergyman was very anxious to Introduce some hymn-books Into the church, and arranged-with his clerk that the latter was to give out the notice immediately after the sermon. The clerk, however, had a notice of hla own to give out with reference to the baptism of infant*. Accordingly, at the close of the sermon he arose and announced that "All those who have children whom they wished to have baptised ideas* send In their names at once to the clerk.” The clergyman, who was stone deaf, as­ sumed that the clerk was giving out the hymn-book notie* and Immedi­ ately aroee and t>ald: And I should aay. for the iH’ueflt of those who haven’t gay itmt teej- may obtain some from the u’her* any day from three to four o'cloffiM the ord Inarv little ones at fifty cents each, and special ones at .’••venty-flve cents."

Whgt a picturesque and valorous affair was the burning of the Phila­ delphia. Decatur's first command was the brig Argus, eighteen guns, and he was ordered late in 1803 to report to Commodore Edward Preble, who had taken Dale's place td prosecute the Sir against Tripoli. We had Incurred e displeasure of the ruler of that country on the question of tribute, and he declared war on us. On arrival In the Mediterranean the Argua was transferred to the command of Lieut. Isaac Hull, and Decatur took command of the schooner Enterprise, of twelve light guns. Boon after he received this vessel the schooner cap­ tured the Tripolitan ketch Mastlco. of four guns and seventy men. bearing a cargo of female slaves to the Sultan of Turkey. The Mastlco had been a French bomb vessel, but wss captured by the English at Abouklr and pre­ sented by them to the Trlpflltans. The Philadelphia was a fine frigate. Under command of William Bain­ bridge the vessel was ordered to blockade the harbor of Tripoli. While chasing hard Inshore she struck a rock, and although great efforts were made to get her off. she was captured by a swarm of Tripolitan gunboats. She wss taken on Oct. 31 and her crew of 815 officers and men made prisoners. The Tripolitans raised the vessel and towed her Into the harbor. The Joss of the Philadelphia left Preble'with only the Constitution snd a few small brigs and schooners, and with the frigate In the enemy's hands the odds were very much against him To help the situation It was nlnnned to recapture or destroy the Philadel­ phia. The frigate waa plainly visible to the American fleet as It passed the entrance to the harbor—a bitter sight ate had once been his father's ship. His appeal received prior consideration but the Enterprise was not big enough for the purpose. He was allowed to take the captured ketch, which had been renamed the Intrepid.

Every housewife has an aspiration to be known and referred to, as “a good book. ” It is natural that she should have that as­ piration. because she feels' that, in that line, it is only accepting her share of life’s responsibilities, and she is anxious to “makegood.” She knows that good wholesome food has a lot to do with the health of the family, and of all food nothing Is so important as good bread. We believe these state­ ments cannot, and will not, be denied. If they are not, then it only em­ phasizes tbe necessity of good flour in the home. What kind of flonr are YOU buying!

It has started hundreds and thousands of young boys and girls on the road to rugged health, because of the delicious bread “that mother makes.” Its reputation as the best and most wholesome flour on the market improves as time goes on, and as experience and close observation point out the way where we can improve it Does it PAY YOU to continue using the inferior flour that experience teaches you will bring poor results? Or will you try French’s White Lily Flour that is “always the same, always the best’’? If every housewife would give French’s White Lily a thorough, fair trial, she would be convinced that it would be a mistake to ever use any other. MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS R. T.

Coburn has on ex­ hibition a collection of prehistoric bones dug up- on the farm of Frank Brown, Delta township. Eaton county, seven miles west of Lansing. After one tooth was unearthed by a break­ ing plow this spring the rest of the skeleton was dug up, with the excep­ tion of four bones. Bute Geologist Lane and one or two other men posted in geology have pronounced the bones the remains of a pre-historic “ele­ phant* ’of gigantic sise. A tenant on the Brown farm was plowing content­ edly along this spring when the plow struck a solid body burled In the soft soil. At first he supposed It to be a stone. Further examination proved It to be ■< five pound tooth*, ten inches - long, seven and a half Inches deep and five and a hsif inches wide. Dig­ ging commenced and up to date the skeleton has been unearthed except the bones of the hind logs, one shoul­ der blade and a tusk. Ths bones al­ ready found have been dug from a space less than twenty feet square and with out excavating more than three feet below the surface. By some In­ explicable freak the missing bones have been wafted away. A theory has animal lay down to death at the edge of a lake or ponfl, such as the topography of the plaqe would Indi­ cate. and that, as a result the hind leg bones had been washed a distance from the rest of the skeleton. The bones lay burled in the soft, peaty soli In order relative to the anatomical arrangement natural to the animal, the head to ths northeast. If the miss­ ing bones can be found the owner may realise a sum near >1.000. according to prices and Information received by Brown and Coburn.

Person of Lansing has received from the English government a medal bear­ ing four significant bars placed there as indications of-four reasons why his services were valuable to the army. This medal was not received until nearly seven years after the close of the war. but the accuracy with which the department can take care of de­ tails Is Illustrated by the fact that as soon as they learned the address of the former non-comtniraloned officer the memorial was forwarded. Mr. Person saw two years of active service in the South African war. fighting with three distinct divisions of the English army. First he was enlisted with the Second division of the Johannesburg Mounted Rifles, then the Midland Mounted Rifles nnd the flrwt division nf Kitchener’s fighting scouts under Col. Juan Colenbrander. This portion of the army was engaged largely in guerilla warfare and the service was exceedingly rough. In his service Mr. Person attained the rank of a non­ commissioned officer. The medal bears the fac simile likeness of the king and queen on one side and a war scene with the four bars on the other. Attached ts a ribbon of orange, blue 1 and maroon. The name of Mr. Per­ son Is engraved on one side, together with a statement of the extent of his serveces. While in Chicago nearly 10 years ago Mr. Pearoon conceived the idea of enlisting in the British cause, and he went at once to Cape Town, from New Orleans. • • • "Joy riding" in gasoline launches Is the latest thing In that line of sur­ reptitious sport- In Saginaw.

The boys gained access to tha boat Kouars by swtmw»tng under- neath their walls and .by the use of skeleton keys. The most daring theft of a boat for joy riding occurred when i the launch of Alexander Sova, one of i the finest on the river, was stolen, by three boys, Roy Bowman. Stanley Smith and Emmet Gordon. When the boys were arrested they admitted tak­ ing the launch and said they had been running it all over the river from Riv­ erside park down to the interurban bridge, a distance of 15 miles.

The kind of elec­ tric motors we use are all made to run 1,000, 1,200, or 1,400 revolu­ tions per minute as the case may be. They can’t run a bit faster, nor a bit slower than what they are set to run. No matter how high or low the steam or water pressure may be you couldn't drive one of these motors any faster or any slower than what they are made to run. They take just so much electric power to operate them at their speed and yon can’t get them above that mark, nor below it. With any mill that is operated dirzct by steam or water power, there is a wide variation in the power when the pressure is "high” or “low”. And with such a varying pressure it is impossible to turn ont a smooth, uniform quality of flour.

FRANK HORTON GENERAL STORE Hastings, Mich Phons 10. the taxpayers of Hastings valuation of 82.120.670 this wUl raise about 828,400. Of this amount It will require for the sinking fund 19,000, city market debt. 1500. and the city's part of one paving bond 1500, Interest an city, bonds, which city is to pay 11,500, notes for city hall repairs and running expenses 14.000, outstanding city orders 12.209; a tout of 910.709 which will leave about 919,700 for regular city expenses. The water works are more than self sustaining, and there will be 9180 interest on the present sinking fund of 08,000. Probably 814.000 will be available for city purposes. ' This 014,000 is a small sum to get through a whole year with, but the present council will alm to do so without borrowing as has been the custom for several years, and hope to succeed. ’ With this 914.­ 000 must be paid the salaries of city engineer, city clerk, and sup­ ervisors, city marshal and the fire department: also all expenses for public, lighting and all the cost of street work and for sidewalk grades of such public improvements as sewers, water works extensions, etc. We hope the council may insist on such rigid economy that by next July, the city will owe no notes at the banks for borrowed money, and no outstanding orders. It will be a record for any council to be proud of If they can do It. But a certain amount of street work must be done every year, and many more than usual number of sidewalks, for which the city does the grading, are being called for this year, and that means more crosswalks. It may be hard to do It; but If the council wishes to earn’the undying gratitude of the.taxpayers they will lend every energy toward cutting down all expenses, and getting through the next fiscal year with­ out borrowing. The council has already effected a saving of about 81.000 by combining the offices of marshal and street commissioner, water works engineer and superin­ tendent. and reducing the cost of caring for the city market. That is a good beginning. By doing only such work on the streets as is ab­ solutely necessary, the city may get through to July 1910 without bor­ rowing. nnd turn over its affairs to Its successors without any Boating debt. If It can. the tax rate would not then need to-exceed 9100 on the 1100 for city purposes,' and that would add another 92.000 Io the sinking fund, pay another 9500 note on the market, retire another 91.750 paving bond, and do It easy. AU citizens will commend ?he present council for Its fixed policy of debt reduction and economy.

' The Real Estate men have done more for the up­ build and progress of this country than any other one factor. You will always find them on the frontier, advertising and hustling to\ develop the country. . TSfre is not a single real estate deal made today in any of our large cities but what has been negotia­ ted through some real estate agency. The real estate business is just as important today for the uplift and progress of the country and cities as any other legitimate business that men are engaged in, seeking a livelihood. You go to any large city, or in the west, seeking to purchase property. You will at once be referred to one or more real estate firms. No one attempts to sell his own property, or to pur­ chase except through an agency, at they nearly al­ ways have such a property as you may wish to buy. or a purchaser for theproperty you may wish to sell. 2 hat is their business. ' Certainly the great daily papers of our country would not exert .their energies, spend their money, and devote large space, to give wide publicity to the transactions negotiated by the different real estate firms, if their activities were not for the benefit and progress of their respective cities and the whole im­ munity. • If you are siclf, why seek the advice of a physi­ cian! Why not prescribe for yourselff If in trouble why seek the advice of a lawyer? Why not plead your mm case? In either- proposition you might win. But as a rule you would make a dis­ mal failure dnd be a big loser, And either proposi­ tion is just as sensible as the man who says:—" OH! I CAN SELL NY OWN PROPERTY. I WOULDN'T PUT IT IN THE HANDS OF A REAL ESTATE AGENCY; OR I WOULDN'T BUY PROPERTY THROUGH A REAL ESTATE AGENT.” But they are so few compared with the large majority of pro­ gressive Barry County property owners, that they remind me of the mioxicated fellow who wandered into a church where they were holding protracted meeting. About the time he had secured a seat the minister asked the congregation:—“All those who wish to go to heaven will please arise." They all arose except our intoxicated friend. After the con­ gregation was seated the minister again asked:— ' All those who wish togo to the other place will arise." By this time our intoxicated friend had got it through his mind that there was some question before the house. Staggering to hie feet he looked all around, ther. at the minister, who was still standing in the pulnit, then-stammeringly said:—"1 don’t exactly understand the question before the house but we seem to be in a hopeless minority.” Mr. Luke Waters says there is no one business that is as important to the welfare and progress of any city, town, or community as a wide-awake ad­ vertising, hustling real estate agency. _ ■ Goodyear Bros, say, “ We have sold thousands of dollars worth of farm tools and other merchan­ dise to people who have purchased property through Mr. Benham, who has attracted by his up-to-date , business methods and extensive advertising ths very ‘ best of people from other states to our county and we believe no merchant or property owner in Barry Co. but has been very largely benefited by having an up-to-date and successful real estate business estab­ IvMi in Hasting." lished Hastings." • Mr. Will Hall saw—."! have sold thousand* of dollars worth of merchandise to people who have bought property through Mr. Benham.

Hicks, president of the Barry County Poultry Association, is the proud possessor of ten Butter Cup chicks, a breed of fowl new in this part of th* country. These chick* arc expected to mature nnd begin to lay In about three months. Further­ more each hen Is expected to lay 300 •gg* per year. The record of this I breed of fowls has never been sur­ passed. nor equalled. Mr. Hicks recently purchased the eggs in Georgia and the chicks were -hatched last week. They will be ex­ , hlbited at the poultry show, and will j undoubtedly be -great drawing cards. I No breed of fowl introduced into Jthls country has aroused such wide­ spread Interest among fanciers and other as has the "Butter Cups." They were first brought from Sicily, nnd raised In Maryland nnd Georgia. They are called "Butter Cups" In Italy be­ cause of the peculiar shape of their combs. In color the male ia reddish buff; hackle darker; tall, black with reft on outer feathers. The male weighs from 5 to 7ft pounds, has small plump, nice, yellow-meated fowl. The female's color is buff, laeed with black neck and breast, weighing from 4*4 to 5ft pounds. They have established a record of 300 eggs a year. The hens spend their time lay­ ing eggs while other and larger goods layers till six years old. The fowls are exceptionally gentle, active, good foragers, and what is more important, they are light feed-rs. It requires no more feed for 25 Butter Cups'* than it does for a doxleghorns. and if given free range sy require no feeding except dur­ r the winter months Unlike other egg-producing breeds they are plump aa partridges, and [the meat is,of the highest quality for I the table, although they are of such I excellent quality as broilers, on acI count of their size, they are not re­ ! commended as roasters—but for eggs, every day, they are without the {shadow of a doubt, the best breed on I earth.

When he was at the Fontlnalls elub. nn the Sturgeon river, east of Van­ derbilt. last week. W. B. Merahon be­ came Interested In the report that a pair of wild pigeons were nesting near there. Mr. Merahon is the ac­ cepted authority on the history of the passenger pigeon, his book on the subject being the only work devoted exclusively to this bird, once so won­ derfully numerous in Michigan, but long believed to be extinct- He has investigated a large number of cases where Individuals have been sure they have seen wild pigeons, but in each Instance they have turned out to be groundless. the matter his usual methods of In­ quiry. and was surprised to find the evidence better than any he has taken. One person, a man who hunted wild pigeons when they were here literally In millions, had favorable opportunity to see one of the birds, while feeding. He described a wild pigeon accurately and said he was near enough to dis­ cern the unmistakable rosy flush on the breast: tn fact he was fully con­ vinced that a pair of pigeons, a sur­ vival of the oidtlme flocks, were nest­ ing this summer in the locality. Mr. Merahon. while cautious In forming his own opinion, said the evi­ dence is so good as to warrant inves­ tigation. He leaves for Quebec to­ morrow, and cannot personally do the work, but he has interested Ruthven Deane of Chicago, one of the bem known of amateur ornithologists, who will try to induce Prof. Whitman of Chicago University to go to Vander­ bilt and make the Investigation. Prof. Whitman Is also an authority, and for several years had In captivity a number cf wild pigeons—In fset the only ones in existence so far as known. Hla flock gradually diminished thru failure to reproduce, and it is under­ stood that they are all dead.

Guam, she found one young naval lieutenant, with an unarmed collier and a Chinese crew, upholding the dignity of our glorious republic In this new colonial possession says the Agona, Guam, correspondent of the New York Evening Star. The lieutenant had been equal to his task, though, and the island proved to be running on the most approved Am­ erican principle. For six months he had been monarch, nay, absolute em­ peror, of some 800 square miles of ter­ ritory and about 8,000 people. He had appointed and discharged sundry and various officials and had been doing the "Warwick” act in great style.

Perhaps It waa just as well, though, that the latindeed In Guam, and the only "pranc­ ing chargers" In sight are some very stately and deliberate bullocks and water buffaloes which the natives are Wont to ride, and Napoleon himself could not have been heroic on a water buffalo. During his brief reign the lieuten­ ant had many amusing experience with his subjects. They were most willing and anxious to be good Amer­ icans—In fact, they were almost too enthusiastic for comfort, for they would persist In calling upon him at the most unseasonable hours to ask him how the Americans did such a trivial thing, and they kept sending committees to request various demostratlons. — The leading citizens of Agona. the capital and most important port of Guam, are a varied assortment.

The “Yonqul" captain was firm in his brutal demands for a return of this trifling amount, and the clerks repaid at once, though the noble don held out a for a long time, thinking "el aenor captain*’ must be joking or holding off for a larger bribe. In fact the official had »omeg>re*slng personal business in -a neighboring island and was about to leave quietly when the unchivalrous "Yonqul" Issued an or­ der that the official should not leave the island until the.money waa paid, which was finally done with much bad grace and the incident closed. One of the first duties of our lieu­ tenant was to teach the buglers of the native militia how to play the morn­ ing and evening salute to the Ameri­ can colors, which were now regularly raised and lowered on the palace each day jit 8 In the morning and at iunaet. The lieutenant, not being a musi­ cian. dug the music out of an old drill book, and with much algn language explained to a village musician what waa wanted. Thia worthy called the buglers bofere him and then the agony began! And for days the barrack pla­ za resounded "as with the torments of the damned." In a short time, though the buglers were able-to give rendi­ tion correct enough to satisfy the offi­ cial conscience of the lieutenant.' Next he noticed that the military company always marched under arms In all funeral processions, although the late departed were but humble civilians. This was too much for the officer, for it was obviously "dead against the blue book to give a mili­ tary funeral to civilian," so the padres were Informed that hereafter the troops would not take part in the ob­ sequies except in a private capacity, and the arms were taken away.from the soldiers. , Church and state are so closely knit In Spanish Ups that this had been an invariable custom, and the Spanish priests were very wroth, and here waa sown the seed of dis­ cord in the Arcadian peace of the bail­ iwick. ’Twas ever thus in the history of all great nations. Religion Is the rock upon which they split, and Guam Boon the glorious Fourth of noisy memory drew near, and the patriotic lieutenant determined that the new Americans should make a proper start In their celebrations of this great day. so he called them together and told them of hla plans.

In Harper's for June is printed the narrative of one of Sheridan's scouts in which he tells the true story of Sheridan's famous ride. "I looked acroBB a large clear field and saw a black horse at full speed coming out of the woods, and I said to Campbell. “There comes the "Old Man”—we always called Gen. Sheri­ dan the ’Old Man.* and he said: 'Can’t be; he’s In Washington.' I looked again for a moment, nnd then said: •It’s him; there comes a couple of hla staff officers a hundred yards behind.' We stopped, and Gen. Sheridan came up. pulled In his horse, and said. ‘Boys how !s !t?' Campbell replied. 'General It's a rout!’ He threw his eyes quick at me. and said: *Not quite that bad! The Eighth nnd Nineteenth are scat­ tered. but the sixth Is solid!' "A young lieutenant with n Nine­ teenth corp* badge on his cap. was hurrying by; Rheridan wheeled around to him. 'Lieutenant, where Is your command?' 'I don't know.' the Heu.tenant shouted and was hurrying on again. "Damn you. turn back and find It!’ Sheridan yelled, and passed on. The lieutenant stopped. Who was that scout?' That was Gen. Sheridan,' I said. 1'11 turn back!' he cried. ’It was the mini all along the road: the men were coming back up the valley faster than they had run down It; ahead of us they were running toward the road, and lining up on either side, nnd as we rode along there was just one great roar of cheers.” He told of the ride back to the front where the Sixth eorps and remnants of the Nineteenth had been sullenly battling—holdltif off the confederate army all the day; of how the ebb-tide that had turned came roaring baqk to the fight In a flood of men who could scarce be held back from the attack until the lines were sufficiently rein­ forced and reformed. And when he told nf Sheridan, bareheaded, riding along In front of hla battle line where It waited the command to advance, he rose from his chair, and his eyes alljrht with the old battle fire, he pounded the desk with his fist. "There has been a lot tnld and a lot written of what Sheridan said that day, but here Is what he aid ^y^he.very..'rfirJ»:;..rT was there.

Hastings, Michigan. ME YOU BUILDING? ME YOU BUILDING? A NEW HOUSE A NEW BARN or repairing an old building! If you are then you will want to give the question of ROOFINO a good deal of consideration. ,There is nothing more annoying and exasperating, nor anything more expensive than POOR ROOFING. Good timber is becoming so scarce that shingles are expensive. Many of them being cut ftom dead, or burned timber don’t have have the life that shingles used to have in an earlyday. As a result they rot and go to pieces quickly, letting water thru’ the roof, damaging the roof, destroying your plaster, injuring furniture, etc. ROOFING Is Our SPECIALTY SLATE ROOFING; TIN ROOFING; GALVANIZED ROOFING and in fact any kind of a roof you want We can refer you ' to WORK WE HAVE DONE, which is a pretty good evidence of what you will get when we do your roofing. What we especially want to call your attention to, ie our BANNER RUBBER ROOFING MADE EXPRESSLY FOR U® It ie durable, elastic, water and acid proof; and unaffected by chantree in temper­ ature. There is NO TAS in it We guarantee the S-PLY for FIVE YEAES but it will last TWENTY-FIVE YEARS and won't oo»t yon much over half of what a shingled roof would cost you.

It seems to us that much more atten­ tion ahould be given to fitting scholars for the vocations they will probably follow in life. W* do not believe that a scholar should be taught In the public schools to be­ come for Instance a trained me­ chanic or a practical farmer: but he should be given the training that will enable him to adapt hlmor office or whatever line of work he may follow.

We make it a point to never carry goods over from one season to another. Rather than do so we would rather get the co^t price out of them. With us this accomplishes two very desirable purposes. First, it always enables us to present a dean, clean, fresh stock of goods for our customer's selections. We believe in “satisfying” our patrons; it's our constant study. And there is substantial evidence all along the line that it has paid us to carry out those beliefs, Second, it makes room for the big stock of Fall and Winter goods which we have ordered, and which will soon be here. It is somewhat unusual to cut prices on hot weather goods, when hot weather barf only fairly commenced. And it is on just such goods as you need, that we are making our biggest price cute.’ That’s why there’s more to be got at our stores for your money than you’ll get eh»where.

Hastings, Mfoh. Haying and Harvest are here. Hava yon got a machine? If ao, ib it a “JohnstonF A full carload of Johnston Binders and Mowers the third year, and that without any canvassing, is > most gratifying endorsement of how the farmer is taking hold of them. Although the Johnston is being assailed by a score of Trust Ruggers going through the oonnrty trying*to. get farmers, who have given their order for a Johnston to cancel it, and buy a Trust machine, telling the farmer that Townsend is going out of business, and that they cannot get repairs, and a hundred other lies equally as fool­ ish,—yet still the Johnston moves on. The repair lie which the plugger is driving the hardest is the biggest lie he is telling. < Now the repair proposition is simply this. Every dealer who is selling Binders and Mowers of the different makes should keep on hand at all times, a good and sufficient stock of repairs for the machine he is selling, and I believe this they all try to do; but to have every part at all times would be im­ possible as every farmer knows, who has gone for repairs and had to wait until they were ordered. I have a good stock of repairs always on hand, but should I not have just the part wanted, I am in just as good a position to get it for the Johnston, as is any man in Hastings for the machine he sells, and just as quickly. So don’t let the plugger frighten you with this lie. Buy -a "Johnston", and so continue competitors, or buy a Trust machine and so kill competition.

Thousands of pamphlets showing the children, the uses-and habits of over sixty American biro species have been distributed In the schools over the entire country by the National association of Audubon So­ cieties during the past year In prepar­ ation for thia movement by American boys and girls. If sufficient funds be­ come available for this educational campaign it Is planned tn spread the knowledge of every bird In the land in continent. "We must depend on the little folks to take up this battle for the all over the country.” said William Dutcher, president nt the National As­ sociation nt Asdubon Societies at Its headquarters. 141 Broadway. "Be­ sides the itreat sentimental interest which the children take In-the feath­ ered •ongatera of their home country, they must be tnught to realise that their native land will become barren In a few generations If the Insect-eat­ ing birds nre not preserved, and In­ creased. This is a great nnd -vital work of national education and we hope to rally thousands of parents to Its active support."

That’s why It always pays to buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY “THE FLOUR THE BEST COOKS USE” For over 35 years it has sustained its reputation as the best flour on the market. Dealers whb have handled it are loudest in its praise because of the satisfaction it always brings to customers. Housewives likewise praise it for its uniform “always-the-same” QUALITY. In the past some have been induced to try other flours, but they always come back to French’s White Lily Flour, the “old reliable” stand by flour that you can “bank on.” If that’s the kind YOU are looking for why not give French’s White Lily a trial. It’s guaranteed to give YOU satisfaction, or your money back. MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS R. T. FRENCH, Prop’r.

The oil level is located below the top of the wick tube so that there is do danger of the oil running over and flooding the stove. By an ingenious device IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WICK UP TOO HIGH so there is never any danger of smoke, and there is no danger of explosion. There’s nothing about the stove to get out of order, and AS IT BURNS KEROSENE it is perfectly safe. The “New Process’’ makes a hotter flame than any other. You can bake bread, cakes, pies, etc to perfection; bake POTATOES in 30 MINUTES. A cooking utensil can be placed in di. rect contact with the flame and there will be no soot.

WHITE HOUSE General Store You may have noticed that President Taft will soon forsake the White House at Washington and will take a va­ cation for a few weeks. But we are still at the same place, still doing business, and more of it all the time, at the White House General Store. We are glad the President will take a rest. He needs it. Congress has probably made him very tired. The country fully sympathizes with his “tired feeling” about Congress. But we're glad to be busy. We invite people to come and make us just as busy as possible. It pleases us to note the new faces of people who are coming to the White HOUSS General Store with the object of making us busy. Even if the weather is hot, we don't mind. In fact we like to be busy all the time. Let the good work go on.

July and August are usually known as dull months in the Furniture business. Our stock is unusually large* for this time of the year. We have got to maWjhflooni for more than two carloads of sample furniture, which we expect to arrive by August 10th. To do this we have made prices lower than at any time before in the history of our business. No matter what these articles marked with red tags cost, (and we assure you that our store is full of them), we are going to sell them at some price. The prices marked on these goods will practically clean out our stock in less than 30 days. When tee advertise bargains we always mark our goods at such small prices that the general public and our customers mill know, them as such. Investigate for yourself and see if all goods marked with the large red tags are not the hottest values that you have seen or heard of. Some people will tell you that they cannot get bargains at sales; that the goods are simply marked up to sell. Please investi­ gate the prices that* we quote, and ask yourself if We could afford to advertise these goods and not do exactly as we agree.

Thl* to commendable, of course, but robin*, for example, are included In the Hat of game bird* tn eome of the Southern States, and ef­ forts made to tame them here may result In their destruction on their southward flight in the autumn. Ac­ customed to frequent homes of their Northern friend*, if they evince *lmllar habit* In the South, they are often killed for the pot, says the Forest and Stream. • In the course of time the Southern State* will protect these bird*, but until thl* Is done It would be well to remember the result of feeding birds near our homes. Of course, the mere fort that they are not molested while in the north causes many birds to nest round about houses, but If they must be fed thto should not be done near dwellingsjnerr ere irrr women wno view ’with calmness the killing.of harmless . birds by cats. On the other hand. 'any atepa to prevent these deprednI done. The taming of birds In places where cats are permitted to roam will mean certain death to a large majority of such birds, and so ter ns we know there to only one preventive, and that is tn remove the cat from irs flald of activity.

Have youxot a machine? If eo, is it a “Johnstone A tall carload of Johnston Binders and* Howers the third year, and that without any canvassing, is a most gratifying endorsement of how the farmer is taking hold of them. Although the Johnston is being assailed by a score of Trust pluggers going through the counrty trying to get farmers, who have given their order for a Johnston to cancel it, and bay a Trust machine, telling the farmer that Townsend is going out of business, and that they cannot get repairs, and a hundred other lies equally as fool­ ish—yet still the Johnston moves on. The repair lie which the plugger is driving the hardest is the biggest lie he is telling. T Now the repair proposition is simply this. Every dealer who is selling Binders and Mowers of the different makes should keep on hand at all times, a good and sufficient stock of repairs for the machine heis selling, and I believe this they all try to do; but to have every part at all times would be im­ possible as every farmer knows, who has gone for repairs and had to wait untU they were ordered. I have a good stock of repairs always on hand, but should I not have just the part wanted, I am in just as good a position to get it for the Johnston. as is any mail in Hastings for the machine he sells, and just as quickly. So don’t let the plugger frighten you with this lie. Buy a ''Johnston", and so continue competiton, or buy a Trust machine and so kill competition. ■ Experiments are being made* with aerial torpedoes In Germany.

But no matter how good the cook, she can improve her handiwork if she uses the right flour—FRENCH’S WHITE LILY. Why? Because science applied to milling and the know­ ledge gained from over 85 years of successful manufacture, has resulted in a flour that can be relied upon to act the same way—not ONCE, or TWICE, but ALWAYS. And why should­ n’t it? We always made it in the same way, by our own process, and our machinery is driven by WATER POWER—the BEST nnd STEADIEST power known.

Now that’s worth your while isn’t it? For three years I have handled WA GNER'S BREAD made in the larg­ est bakery in Michigan, and a model of cleanliness. WAGNER'S BREAD has become a household name in scores of homes in this city and vicinity. I have customers who have used it .continually all that time, and am adding new elastomers every week. If you have any doubts as to the quality of Wagner’s Bread, I can refer you to scores and scores of families where it is used right along, and where they are so well satisfied that they will tell you it cannot be excelled', that it is so much better than the ordinary baker’s bread that COMPARISON IS IMPOSSIBLE. It is more even and uniform than home-made bread. It represents the HIGHEST BREAD QUALITY and EXCELLENCE. These may seem extrav­ agant claims; but if you will put this bread to the test, you will find that it will more than bear out our claims for it. And it costs no more than other makes of bread. The reasons for its use are therefore apparent, and will become more so as you use the bread. But we invite you to come to the WHITE HOUSE General Store, and let us show you Wagner s Bread. You will become one of our regular bread customers if you buy once.

There has always been a double mystery In the matter of tbe Hawkins case. In the first place, tbe police never learned who had put them on tbe clew that resulted In obtaining tbe evidence on which Hawkins was con-vlcted. In the scond place, it has never been established whether Hawkins really saw a negro present the mo­ ment before be died or was so wrought upon by bls approaching end as to see him in Imagination. Tbe officials de­ clared that no permission to be pres­ ent was given t-> any negro. All those who were there declared that there was no negro among them. There 1* a possible explanation. About tbe time that Nolan was elec­ trocuted It was asserted by physicians that such subjects do not-die of elec­ tricity. but under tbe knife at the sub­ sequent autopsy This opinion was in a measure supported by tbe discovery that life is usually present In the body a long while after ail appearance of it has vanished. These doctors made ap­ plication to be permitted to experi­ ment on an electrocuted body and were flatly refmed by the sheriff. It La well known that Nolan's counsel was coovinci-d of his innocence, it is also a fact ih.it tbs lawyer was on in­ timate terms with the sheriff. It has been whispered that with tbe sheriff's connivance the doctors were permit­ ted to steal Nolan's body and that they resuscitated It This is tbe only theory that fits into all tbs conditions.

Our English “koxens" have an idea that tbe more comb a hen has tbe more eggs she wljl lay. Their chick­ ens, therefore, wear such merry wid­ ow beadgear that they cannot bold up their beads.

Poultrymen In general demand cash in advance for stock and eggs for hatching; thus they’always have the money before tbe customer gets tbe goods. This gives an opportunity for a skin game, nnd, sorry to say, some skin tbelr-ctutomers alive. Tbe poultry journals are trying to devise some scheme to catch the swin­ dling advertisers. It’s about time they draw the line on tainted money. When your chickens gradually get out of condition and lose tbe use of [ their limbs It is often a case of lead Klson.

But no matter how good the cook, she can improve her handiwork if she uses the right flour—FRENCH’S WHITE LILY. Why? Because science applied to milling and the know­ ledge gained from over 35 years of successful manufacture, has resulted in a flour that can be relied upon to act the same way—not ONCE, or TWICE, but ALWAYS. And why should­ n’t it? We always made it in fhe same way, by our own process. and our machinery is driven by WATER POWER-the BEST and STEADIEST power known. OUR MILL RUNS NIGHT HND DAY THE yEAR ROUND to supply the best cooks in this County, this State, anti in other states, with tbe FLOUR THAT PLEASES THEM BEST. Could you ask for any better EVIDENCE of REAL MERIT than this? Are YOU one of the many who are having trouble on Baking Days? There’s one sure and certain way to overcome it.

But heeding this advice always means that the HO USE WIFE MUST MIX. KNEAD and PRE* PARE THE BREAD, and then BAKE THE BREAD OVER J HOT STOVE. And notwithstanding the claims for the various makes of flours, the bread will often turn out to be poor at that. Especially in hot weather there is great discomfort in baking bread, as well as certainty that it will sometimes be poor bread in spite of the hard work in the hot kitchen. Now the WHITE HOUSE General Store is able to meet this situation with sug­ gestions that will supply the home with the BEST QUALITY OF BREAD but what is more to the point will SAVE THE HOUSEWIFE THE, WORK AND WORR1” OF BAKING. Now that’s worth your while isn’t it? For three years I have handled WA ONERS BREAD made in the larg­ est bakery in Michigan, and a model of cleanliness. IFJONER'S BREAD has become a household name in scores of homes in this city and vicinity. 1 have customers who have used it continually all that time, and am adding new customers every week. If you have any doubts as to the quality of Wagner’s Bread. 1 can refer you to scores ami scores of families where it is used right along, and where they are so well satisfied that they will tell you it cannot be excelled', that it is so much better ths.n the ordinary baker’s bread that COMPARISON IS IMPOSSIBLE. It is more even and uniform than home-made bread. It represents the HIGHEST BREAD QUALITY and EXCELLENCE. These may seem extrav­ agant claims; but if you will put this bread to the test, you will find that it will more than bear out our claims for it. And it costs do more than other makes of bread. The reasons for its use are therefore apparent, and will become more so as you use the bread. But we invite yon to come to the WHITE HOL SB General Store, and let us show you Wagner's Bread.

We are aware that a few banks pay as high as 4 per cent interest on deposits. In the opinion of the safest and most conservative hankers that is a higher rate than can be paid and do a safe business. Why ? Because they have to invest their funds in securities that BEAR A HIGHER RATE OF INTEREST, and such securities ARE NE VER AS SAFE. And here is another thing for you to think about. When you deposit your money in one of these outside banks, you are placing it in the hands of PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW. Perhaps they are in a city that you seldom if ever visit. In the very nature of things you can’t get as close to them as you can to people whom you know, whom you can trust, and who have made a SUCCESS. Here is another thing for you to consider. When you deposit your money in one of these outside banks YOU DON'T KNOW TO WHOM THEY ARE LOANING YOUR MONEY. You don’t know anything about it, only that they MUST loan it to someone who MUST pay such a high rate as to make the security questionable, in order to pay you a little higher rate on your deposits. When you deposit your money here you know that your money is loaned oh Barry county real estate, and loaned to Barry county people. That’s worth more to you than the trifling increase of interest on your deposits, because YOU KNOW YOUR MONEY IS SAFE.. You can rest easy because you can get your money at any time you want it.

Everyone who has experi­ ence knowa that it makes a lot of difference WHAT KIND of paint is used. POOR PAINT ia one of the most expensive thiugsin the end that a man can bay. It costs juat aa much to put it on. as it Joes for GOOD PAINT, and it very often costs more. And after yon get the cheap paint on you can ALWAYS SEE THE EFFECTS. It peels off and chalks. No matter how good a paint you pnt over it afterwards, you will see the bad effects of the POOR, CHEAP PAINT. There's one sure way to avoid paint troubles, and that is to f i > • USE DeVOE PAINTS The trouble with POOR PAINT is that you DON’T KNO.W ITS POOR UNTIL AFTER YOU’VE GOT IT ON. And it’s too late then. You NEVER’ have to run any chances* with DeVoe Paint THOUGH IT MAY COST A LITTLE MORE PER GALLON than you would have to pay for poor paint EVEN THEN DEVOE PAINT IS THE CHEAPEST because it will cover more square feet of surface. De­ Voe paint has been made for 155 YEARS CONTINUOUSLY. Its made in the LARGEST paint factory in the world. THAT’S A PRETTY GOOD PROOF OF MER­ IT. “I n f eriority nev^r survivesand and prospers.” Don’t ever use any paint but DEVOE Th e DeVoe Paint used on this building was put on over several coats of other paints that HAD PEELED.

This Is certainly a cocksure way of obtaining fowl business by foul Mme.

BETTER PRICES FOR BETTER EGGS Egge are being bought more and more each year according to their quality. The eggs produced in the state are not bringing the money they should because of mixing of the bad with the good. There are approximately 82,000,000 downs of eggs pro­ duced annually in the state of Mlchigau. valued at 116,400,000. Estimating two bad eggs to the dozen would make 12,000,000 dozens, valued at 12,400,000, which means that muon loss to the Michigan farmers: for at the present time the buyer has to consider this loos in making his price. A few suggestions If carried out that will benefit all handlers of eggs Keep your nests clean, and if possible covered, so aa to have the eggs clean and free from stains, caused by wet nests. Eggs should never be washed. The water seems to open the pores of the shell and make the dggs spoil quickly. Any competent egg buyer can immediately tell trom the appearance of the egg whether it has been washed or not. Gather eggs every day, and when you find new nests keep those eggs separate from the fresh. Have your buyer test them and pay what they are worth. In this way you will not lower the value of your good eggs. Keep but the very small eggs and the double yolk eggs to be used at home, as too ' Call and see our work, or go to small eggs have to be sold in market at a lower price, and double yolk eggs get broken any Cemetery and compare our work with others. in shipping. Market your eggs as often as possible; never less than twice a week. It is unlawful to sell bad eggs This state passed pure food laws that make it a misdemeanor punishable by a heavy fine to sell or offer for sale egge that are stale or rotten, or partially so, and after they have been placed in an incubator. offering them for sale, are subject to the And parties selling stale or rotten eggs, severe penalty of the law. It is unlawful for the farmer to sell bad eggs to the merchant It is unlawful for the merchant to sell them to his patrons or bis egg dealers. It is a violation ot the pational law to ship them from one state to another. The law was passed in the interest of honest dealing, and it is not honest to sell bad eggs for good money.

T. then a military garrison, where he was employed In the trading store of Evans & Fisher, the senidr member of the firm, "Jack" Evans, being his brother. J. J. Fisher came from Louisville, Ky. The firm established a trading post at old Fort -Arbuckle in 1868, and another at Fort Sill in charge of the store at Fort Sill and remained there until 1876. when he became a post trader at Fort Reno, staying until the town of El Reno was founded.

Chief Big Tree, who still lives on Cobb Creek, between Mountain View nnd Colony, was at the trading store, dickering with Evans, and knew nothing of what had happened. A detail of sixteen cavalrymen,, mounted. jvhen Big Tree heard the rattling of arms and the tramp of horses and saw the soldiers dismount at the door he suspected their purpose. "Seize that man nnd don't let him escape.” shouted the officer In com­ mand of the detail to Evans who was a much smaller man than Big Tree. Evans took hold of Big Tree, only to be thrown sprawling on the floor. Wrapping his blanket quickly around hla head and shoulders Big Tree plunged headlong through a large glass in a rear door and ran to scale a high stockade fence In the rear. Evans aimed carefully with his der­ ringer and fired at Big Tree, but misoed him. Big Tree scaled the fenee and ran toward a clump of timber northwest of the Fort. The cavalry men fired at him more than twenty times with carbines without a hit. A gardener dropped his hoe and fired at Big Tree with a needle gun. Big Tree stopped instantly and submitted to arrest. He said that the bullet burnt his scalp just above the ear. One day a big Indian came into the post store, want behind the counter, picked up a hat and was walking out with it when Evans saw him.

THE WHITE HOUSE General Store This is a personal question I am asking, and I have a reason. It concerns us both It is just 11 weeks since the WHITE HOUSE General Store moved into its present location and adopted the name WHITE HOUSE. The period covered is commonly called the “Dull time of the year.” But there have been no dull times with us. On the contrary we have had the largest and best trade in the history of this store. You will not think us egotistical when we say we have tried to deserve this happy condition The White House Store has put emphasis on QUALITY, What we sell is right and we stand ready to make good. This store has made right prices. We do not seek big profits. Our ex penses are light. We do most all the work. We seek only moderate profits. Our offer to duplicate mail order house prices on the same quality of goods is proof of the fact that we sell our goods right. If any further proof is needed it will be found in our large and growing trade. This Store gives everybody a “Square Deal” whether you buy goods of us or we buy produce of you. The WHITE HOUSE STORE gives everybody the glad hand, makes everybody welcome and feel at home, treats all comers with true WHITE HOUSE hospitality. If you have been here, you know these claims are true. If not we invite YOU to come and put us to the test. We carry Staple and Fancy Groceries, Staple Dry Goods, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, Canned Fruits, Canned Meats, Canned Vegetables, Swift’s Pre mium.

If every young man, or young woman would take a part of the money he, or ahe, receiver and put it in the Bank JUST AS SOON AB IT IS RECEIVED, it would only be a very few years before a comfortable sum would be saved. And this ram would be WORKING FOR YO U HARDER AND HARDER as time goes on, because the mini would rapidly grow LARGER AND LARGER, like rolling a snow ball on a warm winter’s day. It will require a little DETERMINATION at first It will mean the giving up of a few things YOU WOULD LIKE TO HA VE, or LIKE TO DO because there’s always plenty of opportunities to spend Money. Where To Put Your Money Before everything else is tbe question of SAFETY Pat your money where you KNO Wit is safe. We are aware that a few banks pay as high as 4 per cent interest on deposits. In the opinion of the safest and most conservative bankers that is a higher rate than can be paid and do a safe business. Why ? Because they have to invest their funds in securities that REAR A HIGHER RATE OF INTEREST, and such securities ARE NEVER AS SAFE. And here is another thing for you to think about. When you deposit your money in one of these outside banks, you are placing it In the hands of PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW. Perhaps they are in.a city that you seldom if ever visit. In the very nature of things you can’t get as close to them as you can to people whom you know, whom you can trust, and who have made a Z? UCCESS. Here is another thing for you to consider. When you deposit your money in one of these outside banks YOU DON'T KNOW TO WHOM THEY ARE LOANING YOUR MONEY. You don’t know anything about it, only that they MUST loan it to someone who MUST pay such a high rate as to make the security questionable, in order to pay you a little higher rate on your deposits. When you deposit your money here you know that your money is loaned on Barry county real estate, and loaned to Barry county people. That’s worth more to you than the trifling increase of interest on your deposits, because YOU KNOW YOUR MONE Y IS SAFE. You can rest easy because you can get your money at any time you want it.

We believe its largely A Matter Of Habit with many people who never stop to give the matter any consideration. They Always havs Burned Wood on hot days and many will probably continue until wood becomes bo scarce or so high in price, that they will have to reaort to the better convenience afforded by modem Inventions and improvements. Wood Btovescause lots of dirt, and Dirt makes More Hard Work.

And the Kitchen is a Veritable “SWEAT BOX” all the time, because the stove or range will radiate heat a long time after the fire is out, and that’s quite a while.

THE EQUIPMENT of the school Is ample for the successful conduct of all courses offered. PERSONAL ATTENTION is given to the special needs of individual students. We are here to help every young man and woman who comes to us with a desire to learn. SLUGGARDS ARE NOT WANTED. We want students with ambition and honesty of purpose. We are not running a reform school, neither are we offering eomething for no­ thing. An education costs work. Proper conduct and attention to duties will be demanded of every student. \ > THE TUITION is SW per month.

GEORGE HINCHMAN, This is i "call and tnaklni would starve to death,“ declared Charles Knapp Carpenter in his Chau­ tauqua address at Kalamazoo on 'JBlrds and Why We Should Know Them.” "You might gather crops this year but you would not next year,” continued the speaker. “For this rea­ son alone. If for no other, we should study birds and learn to protect them" "The man who cultivates eltfier the scientific or poetic side of nature study, to the exclusion of the other is only half-baked.** he said. "He is like Ephraim, whom the good book says was like a cake unturned-" “There is no struggle for existence among human beings which Is so strenuous aa the struggle for life among the birds. The child Is cared for through Infancy and childhood, but before a child would have learned to cry decently the little bird is forced out to make Its way in the world. The death list among birds Is enormous and most of these deaths are tragic. But a small percentage of birds die a natural death. The nests are destroy­ ed by other birds and animals, par­ ticularly In towns and cities. Bo long as you will keep cats In town you cannot expect to raise birds. "Storms also kill a great many of the birds. A few- years ago a flock of Lapland longspurs in migration were caught In a storm near Worth­ ington, Minn., and on two small lakes no-more than two miles square there were found 760,000 dead birds and Buggies.—For the next two months, August and Sep­ tember, I shall make the buggy trade a special feature of my business, and anyone needing a buggy will do well to look tv stock over.

There are approximately 82,000,000 dozens of eggs pro­ duced annually in the state of Michigan, valued at $16,400,000. stimating two bad eggs to the dozen would make 12,000,000 dozens, valued at $2,400,000. which means that muon loss to the Michigan farmers; for at the present time the buyer has to consider this loss in making his price. A few suggestions If carried out that will benefit all handlers of eggs Keep your nests clean, and if possible covered, so as to have the eggs clean and free from stains, caused by wet nests. Eggs should never be washed. The water seems to open the pores of the shell and make the eggs spoil quickly. Any competent egg buyer can immediately tell from the appearance of the egg whether it haa been washed or not. Gather eggs every day, and when you find new nests keep those eggs separate from the fresh. Have your buyer test them and pay what they are worth. In this way you will not lower the value of your good eggs. Keep out the very small eggs and the double yolk eggs to be used at home, as too small eggs have to be sold in market at a lowen price, and double yolk eggs get broken in shipping. Market your eggs as often as possible; never less than twice a week. It is unlawful to sell bad eggs Thia state passed pure food laws that make it a misdemeanor punishable by a heavy fine to sell or offer for sale eggs that are stale or rotten, or partially bo, and after they have been placed in an incubator. And parties selling stale or rotten eggs, or offering them for sale, are subject to the severe penalty of the law. It is unlawful for the farmer to sell bad eggs to the merchant. It is unlawful for the merchant to sell them to his patrons or his egg dealers. It is a violation of the national law to ship them from one state to another. The law was passed in the interest of honest dealing, and it is not honest to sell bad eggs for good money. JOSEPH ROGERS Dealer In Poultry and Esgs. MICHIGAN.

It looks solid enough to cut But in a minute it dissolves—there's nothing to it- That’s the way with Cheap Shoes. They look fine when you buy them. But pasteboard soles and poor stock, so highly colored and polished \ you can’t detect them, and poor workmanship; “nothing to it” They’re soon gone. You're out both shoes and money. When you buy a pair of shoes you must trust to a large extent. upon the integrity of the shoe merchant. You may get the impression that a-shoe is well made, but the external appear­ ance may be only a thin coating for a lot of flaus and defective work-really fraudulent work. After our years of experience in the shoe business, we have seen and learned a great many things. We started in business determined Never To Sell A Poor Cheaply-Made Pair Of Shoes If We Knew It. and to Always Make It Right if a pair should prove to be poor. Any merchant can buy the Nothing To It kind of shoes, and Some Do. We could buy them a great deal cheaper •than’the kind we buy and make a much greater profit per pair. But we would much prefer to have pleased cubatomers. than the greater profit per pair, because we expect to Stay In Business In Hastings For A Long Time. We wouldn’t give shelf-room to cheap, shoddy stuff that “isn’t worth the money.” That’s why we selected QUEEN QUALITY, and WALK-OVER lines for our better shoes, and the famous “ ROUGE REX” and Rindge.

Hundreds are depending on us for bread, and praising the merits of WAGNER’S BREAD, and learning from a happy experience how much better it is to buy Wagner’s Bread at this store (we are the exclusive agents for it) than to attempt to make their own bread. It's always uni­ form, good bread; and the "kind that mother used to make" cannot equal it in quality. Join the procession that homes to our store every day for bread. A trial will convince you that it's wise, and you'll thank us for the suggestion.

You chose a joint at tbe flesh market and you car­ ried It next door to be cooked for you by a certain hour, if you wished for wine, you must bring that with you. for the cooks sold no liquor, al­ though they seem to have provided, as time went on. more and more of the natural accompaniments of meat such as bread, vegetables and pastry. • This habit continued until well into tbe reign of Elizabeth, and so long as such an inconvenient custom pre­ vailed there could have been no real comfort for any citizen who chose to dine abroad. He must have bad as much trouble with porterage and bas­ kets as a country party has today at a picnic. But about tbe time that Shakespeare came up to London a remarkable change took place in the customs of tbe town, and tbe practice of public hospitality and entertain­ ment was singularly facilitated. Tnc nature of this change lay Id the sudden development of tbe tavern and the consequent withdrawal of the cooksbop. The worshipful company of pastelars. as tbe cooks were called, ceased to enjoy the monopoly of pro­ viding hot meals.—Edmund Gosse In Harper’s Magazine. In one respect a railroad Is unlike any other project undertaken by man —It Is never finished. Like a cucumber vine, says a writer in Popular Me­ chanics, tbe instant It ceases to grow It begins to wither. There must be continuous expansion and enlargement. Larger cars require more powerful lo­ comotives. and both In turn call for heavier rails, bigger roundhouses, stronger bridges, longer platforms and sidings. Increased safety devices, while the straightening of curves and the leveling of grades come in for their share of attention on even tbe oldest roads. Little wonder, then, with our railroads consuming nearly one-half of all our manufactured steel and iron and fully one-half of all tbe lumber made each year, that they are tbe un­ failing barometer of the business ac­ tivity of tbe nation. our Very largely it will be WHAT YOU MAKE IT. If yoo let your land go to waste, if you don’t put in an; crop you certainly can’t expect any harvest. It's exactly tbe same way with getting on in the world. If yon don't ever COMMENCE TO SAVE, you’ll NEVER reech the point where yon can “take things easy,’’ you’ll never be prepared for the “rainy days,” which may come through SICKNESS. PANIC. BEING THROWN OUT OP EMPLOYMENT. or from various other causes. GETTING ON IN THE WORLD OFTEN COMES FROM GETTINC A GOOD START And getting & start comes to men and women in different ways. It comes to some through in heritance; the struggle was not made by them. The “hard knocks” were experienced by the “other fellow.” who commenced “at the bottom of the ladder.” Many of those to whom for­ tune comee in this way do not appreciate it The old saying is “they, do not know how they got It.” and it is VER Y OFTEN the case that those who come in possession of a competence in this way "do not KNO W HO W to keep it" SELF-RELIANCE end. INDEPENDENCE come through HONESTLYACQUIRING. and “making onee own way in the world.” Tbe saying 'HE KNO WS HOW HE GOT ITU is generally true of the man who BY HIS OWN EFFORTS has "MADE GOOD." To enjoy the harvest you must do your own fitting, sowing and planting; you must plan and prepare for the benefit you expect to receive. There can’t anybody do it for you, as well as YOU can do it for yourself, considering your own welfare. If you are getting a certain weekly or monthly wage, and you have saved nothing from it then You Have Not Counted The Cost—that means Sickness and Lost Days, and perhaps Lost Employ­ ment. The only way is to Save Something, however small. Put away something for the day When You Cannot Labor. Unless you do the soil will not be fitted for the crop — There Will Be Nothing to Harvest. • WHY NOT MAKE A START NOW ? Begin as many others have recently done by opening a Savings Account in the Hastings City Bank. Begin with a DOLLAR; increase it a little Every Week and Watch it Grow. Interest will be paid you upon it from the day you start at the rate of 3 PER CENT and compounded twice every year. One year’s time will make you a believer in the plan for life. WHY? Be­ cause you will have Made Your First Harvest. You’ll have something to show for your Years Work. Why not begin fitting your ground TO-DA Y for the YEAR'S WORK? You can’t begin any any sooner. You ought not to start any later. Hastings City Bank “THE BANK'THAT DOES THINGS FOR YOU” MIND OVER MATTER. AYER’S HAIR VIGOR Does not Color the Hair J- Q- ana caom, Lo—11.

YOUR FUEL BILLS The power of the mind over the body, ns demonstrated In all forms of faith healing, was recognized in tbe seventeenth ceatiAj by Richelieu's tend bls master’s constant fits of de­ pression. Cltols would solemnly call for a sheet of paper on which to write a prescription, and almost invariably after bls departure tbe prescription would prove to consist of tbe words “One dram of Bolsrobert,” Bolsrobert being a poet of small talent but pos­ sessed of high spirits, and wit. In those days, when tbe common remedy was bleeding, wben it is known that Voltore. tbe poet was bled to death and tbe Princess of Conti, suffering from apoplexy, was beaten till she died In tbe hope of rousing her from her lethargy.

The centl- cles so supple that to check it under one’s clothing requires fortitude which could press a redhot iron against the naked flesh. Relax tbe hand for an instant and tbe centlped slips away to continue its course over tbe body. Tbe result is not easily described.

If, however, tbe person bitten ta enjoying fair health no evil effects result, but where tbe blood is tn poor condition, tbe heart weak or other organic troubles are present then stings or bites from creeping bisects, not only tarantulas, but all of them, are apt to be fatal.

BARBOUR HALL COSTERMONGER. Tho Word In Former Times Spelled "Costs rd-me ng er.” Tbe word costermonger is now used of an Itinerant fruit seller, it formerly spelled costard-monger and In this form appears io Drant’s "Hor­ ace.” to translate tbe Latin word “pomarius.” Literally ft means eostard seller, cos­ tard being a kind of apple, the name of which Murray connects with coste. a rib. Some etymologists connect It with custard, assuming that tbe pulp of ap­ ples was used In preparing this deli­ cacy. but there ta no real reason for this, sinte the "custard apple,” men­ tioned In Dumpier’s "Voyages" (IfflJO). te quite different fruit from tbe mid­ dle English costard. . Some connect it also with "costard." the humorous name for a bead—“Take him over the costard with the hilt of thy sword” (Shakespeare). Byt it seems more probable that tbe fiead was caBed after the apple than the apple after tbe bead. The tertpinatlon "monger” simply means a dealer or trader, as in fell­ monger and Ironmonger, and te de­ rived from the Anglo-Saxon wort “manglan.” to traffic or barter, which ta akin to tbe Latin "mango,” a deal­ er who sets off and polishes up bls worse.—London Btaodard.

It was regarded as tbe work of tbe god Tboth and tberefofte of di­ vine authority, dealing mainly with tbe dead and tbetr future state. Some of ita texts, prayers, hymns and ritual were used by tbe predynastic priests, and parts of tbe book arc said to tielong to a fieriod fifty centuries before the Christian era.

His own party -nsented hte MUlemUnt arid republi­ cans insisted that It' was a national affair. But any one who whtched the proceedings arid the votes of the late special session of congress could not escape the conclusion that the tariff is an exceedingly local question. The east voted for high duties on manufactured goods and low duties on raw ma tor lais, because the east has factories and produces few raw materials. The west voted for high -duties on all the raw materials they ~'vprdauced, and for low duties on all the raw materials produced In other sections of the country, nnd was ready to -trade with Nejr England, ‘giving votes for protected manufact­ ured articles in return for votes for High duties an raw materials grown ed.

In Burnaby's "Travels In America In 1750," a book quite popular during tbe latter part of tbe eighteenth cen­ tury. tbe following Incident te related: Tbe captain of a British man-of-war cruising off tbe Massachusetts coast left bls wife in Boston. On one of bls visits to port she came down to tbe wharf to meet him. and she was salut­ ed as a true and loving sailor’s wife deserved. This violation of law was at once reported, and tbe captain was brought before the magistrate and sentenced to be publicly whipped. There was uo getting out of it, and the captain submitted quite gracefully. Just before tbe departure of bls ship he gave an elaborate, entertainment, to which all of tbe magistrates were in­ vited- After tbe festivities were over and every one had shaken bands with the captain and was going over tbe side tbe magistrates were seized by tbe arm and stripped to tbe waist Each one was led to tbe gangway, where a vigorous boatswain gave him thirty-nine lashes on the bare back and then bustled him over into a boat amid tbe cheers of tbe whole ship's company. How Tobacco Got Its Nam*. The origin of the word tobacco Is not definitely settled. Oviedo, one of the early Spanish chroniclers, says It was named after a Y shaped instru­ ment which was commonly used as a snuffing tube. Tbe two prongs were placed In tbe nose, nnd fumes of the powdered leaf were Inhaled. This was called ''tobaco.” which was tbe name given to the plant. On tbe contrary, one of tbe Islands of the West Indies Is said to have furnished the name. It is asserted that tobacco was first taken into Spain In 1558 by Fernan­ dez. a physician', who bad been sent by Philip II. of Spuln to Investigate the products of Mexico. It next reached Portugal, wns soon Introduced Into France by the French ambassa­ dor, Jean Nlcot nnd sent to the Portu­ guese court tn 1559. When be re­ turned to his borne ho presented some of tbe seed nnd leaves to Queen Cath­ erine de' Medici, and the scientific name of tbe plant was thereafter des­ ignated as “nicotine” in his honor. Balancing an Egg. AU the world knows how Colum­ bus on a historic occasion made an egg stand on end. After many learn­ ed theories bad been advanced on balancing the egg be set tbe egg on end by. of course, mashing down bard enough to form a base, but the prob­ lem is capable of still another solution. It is an easy matter to set an egg on a plate, for Instance. If you know bow. Tbe trick is Impossible until tbe egg has been boiled In an upright position. The position of tbe hardened yoke at the end of the shell lowers tbe center of gravity until Tbe sphere can be spun or even balanced with ease. Weight of Brain. Tbe average weight of the human brain is forty-nine nnd n half ounces avoirdupois • for males and forty-four ounces for females. In males tbe minimum weight is about thirty-four ounces and tbe maximum sixty-five ounces. In females tbe minimum weight is thirty-one ounces and the maximum fifty-six. in newborn in­ fants tbe brain weighs about 1L65 ounces for tbe male and ten ounces for tbe female.

If yon let your land go to waste, if you don’t put in any crop you certainly can’t expect any harvest. It’s exactly the same way with getting on in the world, ft you don’t ever COMMENCE TO SAVE, you’ll NEVER reach the point where yon can “take things easy,” yon’ll never be prepared lor tbe "rainy daya” which may come through SICKNESS, PANIC, BEING THROWN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT, or from various other causes, ■ GETTING ON IN THE WORLD OFTEN COMES FROM GETTING A GOOD START And getting a start comes to men and women in different ways. It comes to some through mheritance; the struggle was not made by them. The “hard knocks” were experienced by the ‘krtber fellow.” who commenced "at the bottom of the ladder." Many of those to whom for­ tune comes in this way do not appreciate it The old saying is “they do not know bow they got it” and it is VERY OFTEN the case that those who come in possession of a competence in this ■way "do not KNO WHO Wto keep it” SELF-RELIANCE and INDEPENDENCE come through HONESTL YACQ HIRING,. and ' making ones own way in the world.” The saying '‘HE KNO WS HO W HE GOT IT," is generally true of the man who BY HIS OWN EFFORTS has "MADE GOOD." To enjoy the harvest you must do your own fitting, sowing and planting; you must plan and prepare for the benefit you expect to receive. There can’t anybody do it for you, as Well as YOU can do it for yourself, considering your own welfare. ' If you are getting a certain weekly or monthly wage, and you have saved nothing from it then You Have Not Counted The Cost—that means Sickness and Loot Days, and perhaps Lost Employ­ merit. The only way is to Save Something, however small. Put away something for the day When Yay Cannot Labor. Unless you do the soil will not be fitted for the crop — There Will Be Nothing to Harvest. ■ ' WHY NOT MAKE A START NOW ? Begin as many others have recently done by opening a Savings Account in the Hastings City Baid Begin with a DOLLAR; increase it a little Every Weei and Watch it Grow, interest will be paid you upon it at tbe rate of 3 PER CENT and compounded twice every year. One year's time will make you a believer in the plan for life. WHYf Because you will have Made Your First Harvest. You’ll have something to show for your Year's Worl. Why not begin fitting your ground TO-DA Y tor the YEARS WORKr You can’t begin any sooner. You ought not to start any later.

Every FARM HOME Should Have a Bath Room There is nothing that would a<|d more to the pleasure and comfort of farm life than a good, modern, up-to-date bath room and Lavatory. People generally regard these necess­ ities as VERY EXPENSIVE, but THEY ARE NOT. Modern methods of manufacture, and greater experience, have brought the cost down EASILY WITHIN THE REACH OF ALL. The past 25 years have seen wonderful improvements in labor saving machinery on the farm; a marked betterment in home construction; a splendid improvement in the breeding of stock and poultry. But there has been comparatively no improvement in Sanitary Conven­ iences in the aver­ age Country Home. The old wash dish is still doing service, and the wash tub is pulled out every week to perform the family ablutions. Some spot in the back yard is* the receptacle for all the dish and wash water and is a splendid place for the breeding of disease. It wouldn't cost you any­ thing to prepare a good big sanitary cess pool. You’ll be surprised what a sihalt amount it would cost you for us to put you in a gpod porcelain lined bath tub, and complete lavitory. You couldn’t spend any money that would mean more for the HEALTH, COMFORT and HAPPINESS of yourself and family than providing these conveniences. They would save a whole lot of work in the home, and would remove the foul-smelling spot in the back yard, where »Gsh and wash-waters are thrown. Within the past two years we have put Bath Rooms, Toilet rooms and modern plumbing of various kinds in homes in the country. They have given, and are giving the best* of satisfaction, and never give any trouble—^and they will not be­ cause WE DO THE WORK RIGHT. Call and let us show you some of our STANDARD PORCELAIN ENAMELED WARE. You’ll be surprised at the SMALL AMOUNT these conveniences will cost you. . ‘* C GOODYEAR BRO HARDWARE and IMPLEMENT* �iilCLEARIN st 21 for Thirty Days, Closing itember 24 Commencing Saturday, Aug Friday, S its season.

Pratt Of Public Interest Being members of a large Retail Furniture Dealers Asso­ ciation enables us to buy Furniture at a great saving in price, much more than when buying in car lots. For be­ ing a large association, we often buy a factory’s whole out­ put, which makes it an object for the manufacturers to make the lowest possible prices to the Association. This is a buying advantage which is at our command the year around. Wd propose to give our customers the advantage of this purchasing power and to give them a little better article for a little less money than can be had elsewhere. We desire your patronage and will do all in our power to merit it. See our goods and get our prices before buying.

As soon aa we started in business here we commenced to give 40 pounds of flour in exchange for each bushel of wheat. Thus we would give you Before we started in business ym used to get only 35 POUNDS of flour Id ex­ change for each bushel of wheat. That policy was in full force when we came here. Figure it up yourself and you will see that under that plan of exchange you would only get 1,000 Pounds of Flour for 25 Bushels of Wheat 1,000 Pounds of Flour for 28 4-7 Bushels of Wheat Carveth & Stebbins EXCURSION SUNDAY AUG. 29, 1909 (Returning same day) Thornapple Laks Charlotte Jackson Aim Artier Detroit 25c 45c 95c $1.55 $2.10 Special train leaves 8S0 A.

Others have since adopted our policy of giving 40 pounds of flour in exchange for a bushel of wheat* so that it is quite uni­ versal in this county now. But it wasn’t done until after we started it and we leave it for you to imagine “whether it ever would have been.” Now we have been the means of saving the farmers of Barry county a good many thousand dollars each year.

Well, that is just what is claimed for the Thomas Drills. Here is the reason WHY the Thomas Drills are betterthan any other:— The Thomas disc and tube­ boot make a WIDE FURRO W and the seed is scattered all over this wide furrow. Every grain is given a chance to stool out and grow. At harvest time there are more and better stalks, producing more grain. Making this wide furrow is an exclusive feature of' tbe Thomas Drill. Carl Btlckel, of Alliance, O-. ’ are guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Coates. Mr. White being Mr. Coates' broth­ er-in-law. The next regular meeting of the L. O. T. M.

The grain rolls down in a single line, some of the kernels piling upon . the others. This does not give it as good a chance to grow as when the seed is scattered out, conse­ quently there is LESS GRAIN. That’s Why Thomas Drills Are Better SOME EXCLUSIVE FEATURES To suit all localities, and to sow any­ thing from flax seed to kidney beans, the Thomas Drills have the ‘•Universal Feed.” We can’t explain this exclusive feature here but we will be glad to SHO W YOU. Another exclusive feature is our patented self-oiling bearing which requires oiling BUT ONCE A SEASON. There are many other good points about this Drill that we would like to show you. You will make a mistake if you buy anything but a Thomas Drill. GOODYEAR BROTH HARDWARE and IMPLEMENT* �S&-!= HAMPSHIRE Premium List 1.

The wood passenger coaches, regarded as ‘‘palaces on wheels” 25 years ago, cost about $6,900. The modern steel passenger coach ^cnsts $31,200. The cost of all equipment, including steel rails and freight ears and everything else, represents an increase of fully three to one, as compared with 25 rears ngo, or even 12 years ago. Wages nre double what they formerly were, nnd hours of labor cut to eight honrs per dny*. This has not been done by the railroads but by government agencies, and the railroads had to take it.- With the inerense in all this, with taxation trebled, is it nny-wnndvr that, the railroads have had to jump their rates to meet the increased expenacj And the increase would have been far more but for more effieient machinery. For instance, fewer men are required to operate n freight train of 100 cars, each car with twice the capacity of one of 25 year* ago, each- equipped with Westin^iousc air brakes, than it did tv operate a train of 30 enny- 30 years ngo. This increase in efficiency has cut the cost of operation, nnd saved a fur greater increase in rates. If trains were hauled with the same engines, contained no larger cars, had the old hand brakes, ns were in use 30 years ago, freight rates today would be dou­ ble what they are now. When wc con­ sider increases in wages, in taxation, in cost of coal, tn cost, of everything, a railroad has to buy, the wonder is that rates can be maintained ax low ns they arc now. With government ownership they-would be far higher. ’ All these improvements have boon developed through private ownership and composition. . With the red tape of government ownership, the rates of railroad service would go sky-rocket­ ing.

INTERNATIONAL WELSHING "Great Britain and France »ccm de­ termined that the people of the United States shall oaaume some eleven bil­ lion* of .dollars of additional war bur­ den,” declares tho Republican Publici­ ty Association, through its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "Under tho reparations plan now being dis­ cussed in London and Paris, thsro is one predominant feature—tho United States and Germany must pay. This country is evidently expected to for­ give a largo portion or all of tho 18,­ 500,000,000 owed us by the British and French,, which would mean, of course, the cancellation of all other debts due this country. "For years tho United States ho* been charged with a policy of 'isola­ tion,* and of desertion of our allies when most they nepded our assistance. For n while wo were told thnt our duty was to join the league of nations and enforce all of the guarantees of the league covenant. When tho American people said by an overwhelming vote that they wanted none of the league, wo wore warned that SI 1,000,000,000 owed the American taxpayers by Eu­ rope could nover be paid in gold, and that any serious attempt to pay it would bring chaos to the debtor coun­ tries. More recently Great Britain has signod nn agreement for eventual liquidation of her shard of the debt, and France announces that a commis­ sion will soon visit this country to make similar arrangements. These na­ tions anpouncc a willingness to pay, yet their public men continue to coneoct schemes having evasion of the debts in ment. Thus an attempt «u made to put this country in tho position of keep ing Europe in n perpetual state of misery in order that we may not lose some money. "It is an ingenious scheme, hut our citizens ought to bear firmly in mind thnt wo had nothing whatever to do with the causes of tho war, that even life we have sacrificed and every dol­ lar we have spent wns lost by reason of European rivalries, and that every dollar of remitted debts must come out of the pockets of our people in the shape of taxes for the redemption oi Liberty Bonds. If Congress should suddenly vote additional expenditures and corresponding tuxes of >8,500,000, 000, its Members would bo uncere moniously voted out of office. Yet ou tempers are scarcely ruffled when the British nnd French govornmqqts sug gest thnt we give them a gratuity foi a similar amount. What they ask is t<be relieved from the consequences o' their own unwise diplomacy, which finally engulfed the. world in the Groat War and is largely responsible for their condition todny. ” DON’TS FOB MOTORISTS —HEAD AND HEED DON’T- drive onto a State Trunk Line from a cross-road without first coming to a full stop.

Wednesday, Aug. 29, 1923 OOM COM PET TORS IN EUWE LEWIS a. MICHAEL TELLS OF HIS WORK IN SOUTH­ WESTERN RUSSIA PEASANT CONTROL IS A STEP BACKWARD Fanners -Want More Land Rather Than Producing Larger Crops The federal Department of Agricul­ ture has sent out four bulletins, written by Lewis G. Michael, well" known in Hastings, concerning agricultural con­ ditions in the Danube valley. We arc sure our readers will find the following one of the four bulletins very interest­ ing: When, in 1909, I began my work in southwestern Russia, teaching the peas­ ants to grow Indian corn according to American methods, I was often met with the rebuff: "Aha, the Tzar is very cunning. He has sent you to teach us to grow more corn on the land we have. Wc don’t want to produce more corn per acre. Wc want more land.” Picture to yourself such a peasant of Bessarabia dressed in white linen pants, shrunken to skin tightness, and a loose fitting white linen blouse, belt* cd with many windings of a '-•red1 sash. It is seeding time in spring. He solemn­ ly paces his little strip of n field— a few feet wide and several hundred foot long, often running up a steep hill. He is scattering Indian corn broadcast over the unplowed stubble. Every now nnd then he reverently bows his shaggy head in prayer to God for increase. Then he ealiuly proceeds to plow, the seed under and hopefully awaits a bumper crop. There is one advantage in, this method of corn planting; the crows, and there are swarms of them, can’t follow up a row and strip it of its sprouting corn. They have to hunt for what they get. Here, in tho far southeast, the agricultural i science of the peasant is summed up in his oft-ropeatcd phrase, ' ‘ As God wills. ’ ’ ----It is a sure bet that wherever such peasants do get more land, they will work that hind in just tho same man­ ner thnt they did their orignial few acres,, without deviation from the tra­ ditions of their fathers. Indeed, when I went back to Bessarabia in 1921, I found tho peasants still plowing their corn under; but I must not anticipate the conclusion of my story. In most of the southeast countries along the Danube nnd the shores of the Black Sen the few acres owned by the peasants were not sufficient to carry the overhead expense of a modern plow. As for investment in hnrvewting ma­ chinery, a sickle costing a few cents was the usual limit to which the peas­ ant could go. The most numerous type of land owner hnd not more than five to ten acres. Tho city folks in these parts coiled him conservative. He was .ore than that, he was non-progressivc —icsistunt to change. In ancient times a conquering race would sweep through a country murlering and plundering in the cities. The jrcat native lords would either be de­ frayed or carried off captive and their estates would be bestowed on tho fav­ orite captains of tho invading chicftnin. Tho pensahts were usually not nuch disturbed, they had little that wns worth stealing and they were the wealth producers required by the con­ querors to keep things going. Though frequently overrun by-invading armies luring tho centuries, these peasants changed their characteristics but little. From time to time they changed their •nnstcr, who didn’t bother his head ibout them so long as they delivered o him a portion of the grain that they uroduced. It is true that they were •omewhat tinged by infusions of the ilood of the invaders, but not nearly to such a degree as tho city popula­ tions, while the nobility was almost pure-blooded conqueror. These dwell­ ers on the land were often slaves nnd later almost always serfs, without the right to leave the estate of their over­ lord. It was not until about the timo of our Civil war thnt the serfs were liberated I nnd a little plot of land doled out to each family.

GETTING BACK — Since most of tho settlers on tho re­ claimed land are still making their de­ ferred installment payments, and will be making them for many years to tome, the 'Government feels a special obligation to do what it can to help them produce crops at ns low a cost a< possible nnd to market thosa crops ni the best’ price obtainable. In the hope of better accomplishing this, the De­ partment of the Interior has put n prac­ tical business man in charge of the Re­ clamation Bureau with an .undenittdiding that he will direct his a»toation particularly to the accomplishment of several important reforms. First iof these is the reduction of overhead cotts —costs of supervision and administra­ tion. In this respect the Government has a largo measure of power. In oth­ er respects the Government's part'in agricultural activities on reclamation projects must be largely ndvispry and through voluntary cooperation. It Jis planned to aid in securing the estab­ lishment of creameries, sugar factories, packing plants nnd reclamation pro­ jects aad extend their dopeadable mar­ kets for their products. The Reclama­ tion Bureau will also cooperate in find­ ing markets and in shipping commod­ ities so that there shall be a minimum of marketing expense'and a maximdm of return t<f the producer. In addition to thia- work- that 1ms been undertaken for tho special benefit of settlers on projects already con­ structed, the Department of the Inter­ ior, under tho management of Secre­ tary Work, has given instructions that where future projects arc undertaken great care shall bo exercised to see that the cost of construction is accurately calculated so that when the work is completed an unexpected and unestifnated burden shall not rest upon the water users by reason of underestima­ tion of tliA constnfction cost. effective nd^tion »f~thst .policy, mean a more general satisfaction am settlors in their relationships with Government. It is intended that in the future too project will be undertaken unless it is clear that the probable coat of opera­ tion and maintenance will not be too heavy a burden for the water users to carry with the annual crops which they can reasonably expect to produce.

Already the amount of work devolving upon the reputable in excess of their normal capacity. The present difficulties will be enormously enhanced, unless learning a vastly greater number of qualified accountants.**—Robert Montgomery, C. P. A. N the first place, it is the most direct way of getting into business quickly. As business is organized today, employers demand of their em­ Eleven Graduates of the Michigan Business and Normal College Who Are Filling Executive ployees that they be trained thoroughly Positions With the Republic Motor Truck Co., Inc., of Alma, Mich. in the fundamentals of business proce­ dure as well as bookkeeping, accounting, stenographic detail, the machinery of the office, and<such other things as are required to make them valuable. Michi­ gan Business & Normal College, thor­ oughly equipped for its work, supplies this demand and enables young men and ' young women, to start in business with accurate knowledge so that their services have a market value at the outset Then again, proper fundamental training is' necessary for advancement Thousands of young people have made the mistake of expecting to advance to responsible executive positions without the necessary fundamental equipment. It would be just as reasonable to expect to advance in the practice of medicine or law without proper training as it is to ad­ vance in business. Business,is a science just as much as any of the learned pro­ fessions. Michigan Business & Normal College Training places its graduates in positions of responsibility and trust, di­ rectly at the elbows of men who have the power to promote, and because of their super training, correct vocational guidance, and position placement, they advance rapidly, frequently gaining in one year’s time what the ordinary indi• vidual requires from five to ten years to secure—and generally never get at all. ‘ To be thoroughly trained, when a young man or young woman .starts, saves yean in the school of experience.

You’ll just have to imagine the scene, fpr It will never occur. But, every day, all around you, there are thousands of young people “going to bat” in the game of life, facing Fate, the great pitcher, with nothing but a toothpick in the way of preparation. . Most of them are confident They imagine it’s a life-sixo bat they are holding; that if the pitcher will give them just half a chance they will knock out a “home run.” And the tragedy of It is they won’t discover their mistake until they have fanned out and been retired to the bench of failure.

This is a popular course for those who desire to secure an efficient training in about one year. New students are admitted to this Department of the school each Monday morning. SHORTHAND AND TYPE­ WRITING. The Shorthand and Typewriting Course at Michigan Business & Normal College is one in which the main effort of the student is devoted to a mastery of Short­ hand and Typewriting. These subjects are supplemented with drills in Business English, Spelling, Arithmetic and Office Appliances, all of which are necessary for one to become a good stenographer. This course appeals to those who wish to get a thorough Stenographic Training and secure employment in the shortest time possible.

If you ever get the idea that you are cutting down your living ex­ penses by using flour that perhaps may cost you a few cents less per sack than FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR then you’ve got “another guess coming.” You may be thinking all the while about the few pennies that you THINK you saved on the purchase of that sack of flour* Now did you REALLY save even those few pennies? You haven’t thought about that baking you had to throw away. You hadn’t thought about that batch of bread that was so soggy that the most of it had to go to the chickens, or the pigs. You haven't thought about the hard work you had to put in to prepare and bake that bread. You had to throw away not only the bread but YOUR TIME as well. Don't you count your time WORTH ANYTHING? You surely ought to. It would COST MONEY to get anyone to do the work you are doing. The real fact is that the actual cost of the flour and the time you THREW AWAY on one baking, would MORE than make up the dif­ ference between the cost of the sack of poor flour you bought, and a sagk of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY—the best flour your money can buy. No doubt when you threw away your baking you the sub* ject from your mind with the thought that it wm only another cm of “bad luck.” But the raal fact ia that it wm NOT a case of bad luck— You can’t have good baking* from poorly milled flour. Where the grain ha* to be “RUSHED” through three or four *et* of roll* in order to get a PRODUCTION that wUl be PROFITABLE, you cannot expect to get a good, smooth, even QUALITY of flour. You certainly would not expect a good batch of bread from dough that had been “kneaded” only about a-quarter a* much a* it should have been. Then why expect to make good bread from flour that ha* been rushed through a mill, and is really only about one-quarter manufactured? FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR goe* through 17 *et* of rolls, every particle of flour going through the same process until it finally come* out a perfectly smooth, even granulation. If you have been using an ordinary flour and will try a sack .of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY you wiU readily see the difference between it and the ordinary flour. ‘French's Flour Makes Good Cooks The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville Michigan �THE HASTINGS BANNER PART THREE DAYTON OORNER8.

Lansing, Aug. 23.—Members of the state board of equalisation, after hear­ ings extending over several days, have fixed the equalized value of Michigan for 1923 nt $6,504,000,000. Thia is an Increase of $1,540,000,000 over the.past yean and falls a most entirely upon the industrial centeni of the state. Tho total reduction made from the tax commission’s recommendation is $5,­ 065,000. The reductions are entirely in agricultural counties. Wayne county was raised to $2,666,­ 300,000, an increase of nearly $600,­ 000,000 over the equal.red value of p Ten northern comities wore given re­ ductions. As the result of the big incrcnsc in valuation, the state 'tax will be considerably reduced. George Lord, chairman of the tax commission, states that it will be about $2.32, as com­ pared with $3 Inst year. The amount of state tax to be col­ lected this year will be about $16,000,­ 000. This is a considerable reduction in the amount that Michigan taxpayers must pay to the state. Last year tho state tax was over $17,300,000, The reduction in the levy on the ru­ ral districts and the raise to the indus­ trial centers is all the rtbre noteworthy because of the tremendous effort which was made by Detroit representatives to show that city levies should be re­ duced or at least kept down to pres­ ent levels. The decision of the board is a splendid tribute to the supervisors and others who so ably represented the rural districts. It is well to recall that in the hear­ ings recently held before .the State Board of Equalization to determine the State’s equalized value and to re-apportion the tax levy among the several counties of tbc state, Michigan farm­ ers and the Michigan State Farm Bu­ reau were ably represented by Melville B. McPherson of Lowell, member of the Board of Directors of the State Farm Bureau, and an acknowledged au­ thority on taxation matters. Mr. McPherson presented evidence to prove what is commonly known to be true, namely that in Michigan today rural property is valued relatively high­ er than is city property. He declared before tho Tax Board that Wayne coun­ ty should remain at ita recommended value for 1923 while the rest of the state should be reduced nn average of 10.87 per cent. McPherson declared that farm prop­ erty is either assessed too high or the utilities of the state and city property are assessed too low and he gave figures to show that while the tax commission had increased the general property val­ uation of the state 78 per cent since 1916, mining properties from 1915 to 1922 wore increased only 25 per cent, and for the same period the railroads and other corporations paying the pri­ mary school interest fund specific tax were increased only 18 per cent. Mr. McPorson said real estate and corporate property in Detroit showed an assessed value of about 61 per cent of its actual value, while rural prop­ erty showed 85 per cent of that value. Lntor, in reply to Mr. Nagel of Detroit, ho cited a number of tracts of farm lend in Kent county showing by their sale prices they wore either purchased recently or offered for sale at less than tho assessed valuation. Nagel claimed thnt only in Detroit could property be bought at less than its assessed valua­ tion. jlie most popular form in which corn was ever served Post Toasties improved CORN FLAKES edhuays ask for Post Toasties by name.

Reed carefully what County Agent Frank Bennett has to say regarding Ford Ammonium Sulphate. Beside the flivver, tractor and truck. Ford is placing on the market a product known as Ford Ammonium Sulphate. This is not only intended as a benefit to plant growth, but also a means of taking can of another of the many by-products of the great Ford plants. Ammonium Sulphate is a white crystalline substance that resembles table salt. It carries 20 to 21 per cent of available nitrogen, being known -as the best commercial car­ rier of that element. Everybody knows the fertilizing value of good stable manure. Every­ one does not know that there is lass nitrogen In a ton of manure than there is in fifty pounds of Ammonium Sulphate. While it is generally conceded that the spring time is the proper time to encourage a good, vigorous plant growth, yet there is one place where nitrogen is sorely needed. Because of the Hessian fly It has become necessary to postpone the sowing of wheat until September 20 to 25. and by an application of Ammonium Sul­ phate at the rate of about 50 lbs. per acre, you encourage a quick, vigorous growth that will take it into the winter in good condition. Thooe of you who use 16 per cent acid phosphate can add tho proper amount of Ammonium Sulphate mixed well. You will not only be surprised by the results, but you will be amply repaid. F. W. BENNETT.

HASTINGS PHONE 2257 THE STUDEBAKER LIGHT-SIX FIVE-PASSENGER TOURING CAR $995 130,000 Owners Know the Value of this Studebaker Every unit in the new 1924 Studebaker Light-Six Touring Car has proved its depend­ ability in public use. There are refinements and improvements, of course, but the underlying principles of design and construction which have made enthusiasts of 130,000 purchasers of this model in three years* time, are not radically rhwngrd In our opinion, the 1934 Light-Six stands out as the greatest value and closest approach to mechanical perfection in moderate priced cars yet produced. It is practically-lree from vibration. Stude­ baker accomplishes this largely by machining the crankshaft and connecting Sods on all surfaces. This requires 61 precision opera­ tions. It is an exclusive Studebaker practice on cars at this price—and is found only on a fewothercars—and they - ’re -priced above $2 500. Absence of vibration prolongs car life, causes slower depreciation, reduces the coat of operation and adds to the enjoyment of driving. . The Light-Six motor embodies the most advanced design known to automobile con­ struction. It represents an achievement in the manufacture of quality cars in big volume. Aside from its mechanical excellence, the Light-Six is handsome in design, extremely comfortable, sturdy and economical to operate just as it is in initial cost. It Is powerful, speedy, has a pick-up range that is seldom taxed and never exhausted, is easy to handle, and convenient to park. , Its enameled all-steel body, one-piece, rain­ proof windshield, ten-inch cushions uphol­ stered in genuine leather, and cowl lamps are among many features heretofore to be had only tn higher priced cars. For 71 years the name Studebaker has stood for unfailing integrity, quality and value. Goodyear Bros. Hardware Co. FREE! During the incumbency of Chief Jus­ tice Salmon P. Chase popular feeling was strongly aroused against the court. From time to time, by reason of ita jurisdiction, and its proper exercise, the court cannot help becoming the stormy petrel of politics. It is the head of the system of federal courts established avowedly to avoid the local prejudices rrtiich non residents may encounter ia state courts, a function often likely to ruffle the sensibilities of the communi­ ties, the possibility of whose prejudice is thus recognised and avoided. More than this, the court’s duty to ignore the acta of congress or of ths state legislatures, if out of Hne with the fundamental law of the nation inevitably throws it as an obstruction across the path of the ten majority who have enacted the invalid legislation. The stronger the majority, and tho more intense its partisan feeling, ths leas likely is it to regard constitutional lim­ itations upon ita powers and the more likely is it to enact laws of questionnblo validity. 4 It is convincing evidence of the sound sense of the American people in ths long run nnd their love of sivil liberty and its constitutional guaranties, that, in spite of hostility thus frequently en­ gendered, tho court has lived with its Swera unimpaired until the present y—By Chief Justice Taft, Chase Memorial Dedication Address.

There haff consequently been a grow­ ing movement for Are prevention edu­ cation in the schools, and eleven states have already placed upon their statute book* measures calling for such instruc­ tion. Only fifteen munutes a week are devoted to tho subject, but it is held that even in this space of time much good may be accomplished.

BROWN & MORGAN, PhonelM. ssrtaAl ' . A good many millers would like to mow now to make flour that’s as good as Frendi’s White Lily. A good many of them have tried it. They have gone onto the market and sold it as the “just-as-good-as French’s White Lily kind.’’ But baking day, that's the test. That’s the .t&ne. .when pretty sacks and at­ tractive names don’t count; when you have to get down to “brass tacks,” so to speak. That’s when the “just-as-good” flours fail.

He went to the Pine Tree State to buy wood for the backs of hair brushes and the handles for shaving brushes, and chanced to visit the yards of a spool maker who was us­ ing white birch. The spool man took the white part of the wood only, and was throwing away the red hearts. Thousands of cords had been burned or dumped In the lake to be rid of It. the brush maker wonted, and at a little more than the expense of freight he supplied his factory.

A few outsiders who bad an understanding with each other would come In and buy at their own figures. You know what kind of a WOOL MARKET we had before I became an independent buyer; one eastern dealer set the figures for several-counties, including Barry, and the farmers had to take bis prices. Now I didn’t begin to buy hay, straw, apples, potatoes and wool for philanthropy. I make no claim to that. With me it was a business proposition. 1 bought because I tho’t 1 could make something at it. But in doing Xhat, 1 have helped to make a better market for all these products for every farmer In Barry county. I am and have always been an independent buyer. I buy with my own money and sell when and to whom 1 please. I make a study of the markets and HAVE ALWAYS PAID FAIR PRICES. Undoubtedly 1 have helped you to market your products of the Iliads I deal in at better figures than you would otherwise have obtained. . But I’m not asking nor expecting any favoritism on that account. But I do be­ - lleve it entitles me to ask you to LET ME FIGURE WITH YOU when you have any of these things to sell, and to GIVE ME A CHANCE TO BUY. Under the circumstances is that asking too much?

Pleasure of having the best there is; comfort in doing the work and economy in the price of fuel. The “Malleable” of course costs a little more than any other make of stove but it is money well invested for it soon saves you the extra cost in fuel.

The Key To Success IS MONEY IN THE BANK You often hear people say “It’s easy to make money, if you have money And it’s true. Opportunities come every day to men with money. The same opportunities are presented to men without money, but, having no ready funds, they cannot take advantage of them. Have you ever had such opportunities? Were you ready for them? If not, why not get ready? All it requires is a little persistence. Deposit a part of your wages each week in our Savings Department. We will pay you THREE PER CENT INTEREST, and COMPOUND IT TWICE EACH YEAR. Follow this plun for a few years and you’ll be the one with tho ready money. You can’t commence t6o soon.

EGGS BUTTER CASH IN TRADE 21c 23c WE WANT THE FARMER’S TRADE CASH IN TRADE 22c 24c And Seek It On The Basis Of Fair Prices And Special Accommodation To Our Farmer Friends 1 ► I believe in straightforward methods; in telling just what I want and the reason for it. I want the trade of the Farmers of Barry county who live in the trading radius of Hastings. I want your trade, (1) Because it is desirable for me, and (2) Because I will make it desirable for you. My large and growing city trade enables me to pay the highest market prices for your butter, eggs and what other produce I can handle. As the farmers are buying goods in larger quantities 0!) 8 C8Sh basis, I find I can meet them on that proposition to our mutual advantage. Our desire for the Farmers trade is not a new want. We have always valued our Farmer Trade, and have been pleased with its steady increase. But we are now prepared in our new White House General Store quarters to handle a far larger volume of business, and therefore we are seeking it in the direction where we believe we can confidently look for it. We have no delusions about what the situation demands. We well understand The Basis For Expecting The Farmers Trade Is And Must Be In Satisfying And Accommodating The Farmers By Fair Treatment And Fair Prices This we are prepared to do. If you want to place a good sized order for groceries or staple dry goods, on a strictly cash basis as you would have to do if you sent your order to the catalogue houses, come in and let us figure with you. WE WILL NOT EXPECT YOUR ORDER UNLESS YOU ARE SATISFIED IT IS MONEY IN YOUR POCKET TO BUY HERE. We can afford to make it an object to LARGE BUYERS WHO PAY CASH for their goods and we do it, and would be glad to do it with you. Another thing: During the busy season on the farm the farmer, especially in these days, when he has to do his own work, because he cannot get help, does not want to quit his work in the middle of the afternoon in order to get to Hastings to buy a few groceries or dry goods before stores close. He wants to work until supper time and then drive to town and do his trading in the evening. This Store Recognizes That We Have No Right To Ejqyect The Farmers To Accommodate Us With Their Trade Unless We Can Make It Convenient For Them To Trade Here, By Keeping Our Store Open Every Day And Evening Except Sunday, - This We Have Done From The Start. 000000 ' We accommodate our customers in every possible way, and always pay HIGHEST MARKET PRICES for BUTTER. EGGS and OTHER PRODUCE usually iiandkd through a general store such as onra. We make everybody feel at home, and give them a hearty welcome at the WHITE HOUSE General Store. We keep a large stock of GROCERIES of all kinds, TEAS. COFFEES. CANNED GOODS, CANNING ACCESSORIES, FRESH VEGETABLES, SWIFT’S PREMIUM HAMS and BACON. STAPLE DRY GOODS, SHOES. MEN S WORK CLOTHES, fete. But como-in. You will find us glad'to see you. We stand behind and fully warrant all our goods. We make reasonable prices. We will treat you so well in every way that you’ll be glad to come in again.

Large Crowds "S&KS" WHY? iatr-Because the BANNER is read in nearly every borne in Barry County. 2nd-Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men ••in their own homes at times when they have the time and dis■position to read them. Srd-Becauee the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten the BANKER 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 all over the county and we have advertised many sales at which people have been present from every township in the ooukty . They were present because articles were advertised that they wanted and they come prepared to bid. The Larger The Crowd, the Livelier the Bidding—Alawys, THE BANNER'S METHOD ot advotislna Auction Sal.. has been endoreed Ist-By the State Association of Auctioneers. 2nd-By all the leading Auctioneers of Barry County.

The BANNER is now printing 4,9-50 papers each week and covers the County “like a blanket.” We would be pleased to hear from anyone contemplating having <n Auction Sale and we will mail to them one of our booklets, con­ taining 16 pages of information and suggestions on conducting an Auction Sale.

YOU KNOW IT You know wh»t kind of * HAY market there was in Barry county before I started in the business of buving and shipping hay. A few outsiders who had an understanding with each other would come In ana buy at their own figures. You know what kind of a WOOL MARKET we had before I became an Independent buyer; one eastern dealer set the figure* for several counties, including Barry, and the farmers had to take his prices. Now I didn’t begin to buy h»y, straw, apples, potatoes and wool for philanthropy. 1 make no claim to that. With melt was a buRiness proposition. I bought because I tbo’t 1 could make something at it But in doing that, 1 have helped to make a better market for all these products for every farmer in Barry county. I am and have always been an independent buyer. I buy with my own money and sell when and to whom I please. I make A study of the markets and HAVE ALWAYS PAID FAIR PRICES. Undoubtedly 1 have helped you to market your products of the kinds I deal in at better tlgures than you would otherwise have obtained. But I’m not asking nor expecting any favoritism on that account.

"I must make nome kind of a showing in order to get a retrial." • Dugan declared, however, that he did not care to "give them away,”as both doctor and druggist had violated the law In giving him the morphine and cocaine with which he said he was' erased.

In (haf section land Is very high, the price ranging from 1300 to 81,300 per acre. Gar­ dening and small- fruit raising are the principal industries in the river valley In Washington where Mr. Hart resides. The fruit Is largely Ted raspberries and the evergreen blackberry. This latter Is a running vine, Bearing the most luscious fruit. * Dairying Is also very profitable. In thia valley, grass grows amaz­ ingly, the soil being exceeding rich, and the underground currents of water keeping the sol! tn the valley moist, and the climate being especial)- adapted for raising grass. Mr. Hart has a small "ranch" of 13 acres. An acre of this Is de­ voted to blackberries. Six acres are given up to pasture, and on this he keeps 6 cows besides hli horse, through the spring, sum­ mer and fall. During the rainy season the grass does not do so well, nnd then Mr. Hart has to buy hay. But he makes a fine profit from his cows, hfs receipts rang­ ing from 850 to as high ns 8110 per month. On a tract of 13 acres of this rich valley land a man can make a handsome profit. Mr. Whittemore visited sections of Montana where the farming is done on the "Campbell dry farm­ ing system" with excellent results. The crops are large, and the re­ turns gratifying.

II astinea, Ml<k>, WHEN AT THE FAIR See Our Complete Line of High Grade Page Buggies Are you going to buy a Buggy this year? If you are then buy a GOOD ONE^— that’s a PAGE. A good buggy may cost you a little more than one that will be a “rattle trap’’ at the end of a year, BUT IT WILL BE THE CHEAPEST FOR YOU IN THE LONG R UN— and that’s what the prudent man figures on. You’ve seen buggies that have gone “all to pieces” at the end of the first year’s run, and not had hard usage either. When that buggy was new it looked just as nice as a Buggy that would cost TWO or THREE TIMES AS MUCH. A little 'CHEAP PAINT AND VARNISH WILL CO VER A MULTITUDE OF DEFECTS?' And paint is a good deal cheaper than PUTTING IN THE BEST MATERIALS. In other words you HA VEV> rely upon the CHARACTER of the MANUFACTURER, and the INTEGRITY of the dealer, when you buy a buggy. You can’t whittle off the spokes, and scrape the paint off the body to see whether you are getting a "square deal?" and a $25 buggy can be “painted” so that it looks just as good as a $125 one. From our long experience in the vehicle busi­ ness we KNO W what firms have the highest standing and character. When you buy here you D0N"T RUN ANY CHANCES. You know that if anything isn’t just as we rep­ resent it WE MAKE IT RIGHT. Here are a few points about PAGE BUGGIES and WHY we sell them:— E> II FQ Made by the Page Co.

Advertising can't put QUALITY in flour. It’s using flour week in and week out; year in and year out, and ALWAYS FIND­ ING IT GOOD, that counts. That’s what tells. That’s what’s French’s White Lily Flour in the lead of all other flours on the market. For 35 years it has been used in the homes of Barry County, and has never been found wanting on the test—“Baking Day.’’ Those who have used it for the longest time are its BEST FRIENDS, and no other flour will satisfy them. They know when they bake Bread, Cakes, Pies or Pastries of any kind, just how it’s coming out, because French’s White Lily Flour is ALWAYS THE SAMR, year in and year out. It can’t help but be, because it’s made in a mill that runs night and day, year in and year out. ’The same quality of grains are used, and blended the same way.

He has ex- pressed a great truth—great largely because Its Importance Is so little real­ ized by the masses. It might be modifled to distinguish the idle rich, how­ ever. from those who. despite their wealth, find that duty to themselves and to (he world is still worth follow­ ing nnd is well worth considering In view of facts which have recently been adduced In the divorce proceedings of certain of the smart set. The human being without impulses is so uncommon ns to be classed with absurdities. These Impulses are good or bad: if they do not make themsel­ ves apparent In one way they will in the other, although th* manifestation may vary In degree in different Indi­ viduals. In the instances referred to the tendency of the wealthy idle. In the effort to escape lassitude, is toward amusements that ar* often question­ able. to state It mildly. Think of the condition of a person driven to the alternative of rotting from ennui be­ cause he has nothing to do or seeking stimulation in disgusting and frequent­ ly criminal excitement—*ay. in spread­ ing monkey dinners, or rpshlng a pub­ lic spectacle of oneself, or foodardlxlng the sacred relation at marriage!

Right now a good many farmers are laying in their winters supply op flour. They are bringing their wheat here and exchanging it for PURITY. A good many have taken 1,000; 1,500, 9.000 and even 4,000 pounds of Purity Flour in exchange for wheat This doesn’t look as though they were afraid of it, does it? Some of them have used “Purity” flour before. Some of them haven’t, but took it on the advice of others who had used it Mr. Farmer why don’t you bring your wheat here and exchange it for flour?

THERE’S A REASON There’s a reason why our trade has steadily grown. It is explain' ed in three statements. We aim to accommodate our customers. (2) We make close prices on our goods. (3) We keep a high grade of goods. That is a combination that is bound to be a winner. It's because people have found that these statements are so that they are coming to recognize the White House General Store as the place to look for square treatment and fair prices and right goods. They get them. If the goods aren’t satisfactory they’re our goods. We will have no dis­ satisfied customers. Our pleased customers are the people upon whom we must depend not only for what trade we have, but for in­ peror Kaniaka. who was ruling In creased trade as well. We can refer folks to the pleased people who have had the goods. Teas and Coffees There’s a chance to get good bargains in these goods at this store, for we have a large line and at very reasonable prices. We would like to have you try them. Back of them all is the White House guarantee that they are right. Let us show you. Our coffee and tea trade is large and getting larger. And you know there is a reason for it. They are right. Fruits and Vegetables This store has become the recognized center of Hastings for fruits and vege­ tables. We have the goods, and they have the quality that wins the favor of all who use them. Staple Dry Goods and Shoes We invite an inspection of our lines of staple dry goods. We cannot go into par­ ticulars here, but come In and let us show you how far your money will go in purchasing these goods. It will surprise you and you will find you can do better at this store. Our lines of men's, women's and children's shoes are the best for the money in the town. You can save 25c to 50c a pair.

A few outside buyers who had an understanding with each other would come In here and buy at tbelr own figure*. ’ THE WOOL MARKET—The wool market was In about the same condition.

Strong bens don’t get bare, tbelr new feathers quickly replacing the old. Molting begins about July 1 and should end Sept. I at latest, and thin hens molt first, so thin them down by cutting tbe ration to one-half or a third tbe usual quantity, according to condition, whether fat or thin. For this three weeks’ anti-fat ration feed mostly wheat and oats and twice a week on clear days feed a mash In which put two tablesi>oonfuls of sul­ phur to every fifty fowls. Now feed heavily of good grains. cut bone and sunflower seed. This will rush tbelr new feathers and bring them to laying condition. Keep them free from Hee in molt, feed no egg force and protect them from exposure. DONT8. .

The Black Breasted Red is seen in tbe color, the Aseel in tbe massive­ ness and tbe Sumatra in the beautiful metallic luster of the plumage of the Cornish Indian. But why should the Cornish club drop tbe name “Game" and call their favorite "Cornish Fowl.” “Cornish.” "Indian?"

We looked over many cities and towns in this country with an idea of seeking a location. But no place presented as Tp/nKfr??’ no occasion whatever to regret our choice. About all that we had when we came here were a few tools, a lot of determination, and pOMPLETL ^-^OWLLDGE OF THE GRANITE AND MARBLE BUSINESS. We were reared in Scotland, the home of the granite and marble industry. Our father was brought up in tne business before us, and he is still engaged m it, being located m Aberdeen, Scotland. We served our apprenticeships of FIVE YEARS each in Scotland, and have since worked in various large f-ronita on.l Marble shnpa in the old country, as __ __ 11as in - .1____i Z-. xtaste x_ ofext r> nzi T> m TT ir rm r f Ct offered Iin — 4k.„ Granite and well this country. One the OPPORTUNITIES this country however cured us of ever wanting to go back to the old country to remain permanently. Nevertheless we feel greatly indebted to the old country for the thoroughness of the training we have had in our line of work. We have had not only the most thorough and careful training in stone carving and cutting, but also in Designing, Modeling in Clay, Monumental Architecture, Etc. This has been of great help to us because it enables us to go beyond mere STOCK DESIGNS, and prepare something ORIGINAL when our patrons have wished it. We will be pleased to have ANYONE compare our work, lettering and carving with that done by any other concern. And the prices we will quote you are just as low as anyone can possibly quote you, who will furnish the same QUALITY of stock and do the same character of work that we do. When you look at any of onr work just note HOW DEEPLYth* letters and carvings are cut, and how FINISHED all the work is. It makes a lot of difference in the expense of getting out the work whether the letters and carvings are deeply cut, or whether the surface of the stone is just “scratched” a little, and the rest of the work left undone. We wont do poor work if we lose money on the job. That isn’t the way we were brought up. Our plant is equipped with pneumatic tools, by means of which we can do BETTER and MORE SATISFACTORY WORK. To Our Friends We wish to take thia opportunity to thank our friends and patrons who have favored us with their confidence in the past and give every assurance to intending purchasers that our established policy of producing nothing but strictly first class work, will be continued. The following is a partial list of those who have favored us with their work. Just ask any of them whether our work was satisfactory:— IRONSIDE BROS. GRANITE AND MARBLE WORKS HASTINGS J. J. Miller.

The bishop told bl* congregation that eminent scientists and thinkers - in many land* had already announced their belief in spirit communication with the material world, some of the most confirmed materialists bdug converted by evidences they could not doubt. He *ai<I that telepathy was an established fact and was closely allied to Immortallam. Warning.

(2) We make close prices on our goods (3) We keep a high grade of goods. That is a combination that is bound to be a winner, It’s because people have found that these statements are so that they are coming to recognize the White House General Store as the place to look for •quare treatment and fair prices and right goods.

Our pleased customers are the people upon whom we must depend not only for what trade we have, but for in­ creased trade as well. We can refer folks to the pleased people who have had the goods.

THE FAIR Of Course You are Coming You really can’t afford to stay away. Meeting other people, getting other people’s ideas; seeing WHAT other people are doing, and HOW they are doing it, are worth infinitely MORE to YOU th&n all the expense you’ll be to. This is a pretty rapid age in which we are living. Things that are strictly up-to-Jate to-day are the cast-offs of to-morrow, relatively speaking.

We have erected a big tent on the Fair Ground in which will be a display of some of our farm machinery. It will well be worth your time and money just to see our exhibit.

BUSIER THAN EVER AT THE HOME OF PURITY FLOUR We are doing more business right now than we ever have since we started in business. It convinces us that people—and farmers espec­ ially—appreciate the fact that we were the FIRST ONES TO GIVE 40 POUNDS OF FLOUR IN EXCHANE FOR EAEH BUSH EL OF GOOD WHEAT. We believe in the policy of “livejmd let live.” “We don’t want it all.” But we could afford to give you 40 pounds of Flour in exchange for a bushel of wheat, and it would leave us a small profit. That’s all we want and we are entitled to that. We beleive the farmers appreciate the 'Square deal” we.have'given them, and that’s what they’ll always get here.

Mild Laxative for Baby Free The child of today is the parent of the future, and whether it grows up healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weaklings between birth and the a^c of ten. when the parents are still tn greatest control. The prime cause of trouble is In th* stomach. A baby that is digesting ita food seldom cries and always looks cheer­ ful; the little child whose stomach Is good romps and plays and never whines; the growing child learns well at school and la eager for fun If Its head Is clear and it* stomaci: light, and that means if It has no constipation.

They are apt to think th>t one kind is just as good as another, and will burn just as long. Bat that is not the case. There’s just as much difference in the various qualities of COALS as there is in silks, cottons, or any other commodities. Railroads and manufacturing concerns spend thousands and thousands of dollars ‘‘testing* coal to see which is the most ECONOMICAL to use. So there’s a big differ­ ence in COAL. Now tee want to tell you about Lehigh Valley Coal. LEHIGH VALLEY HARD COAL and best hard coal district I in the country. The hard coal'that comes from there is HARDER, It BURNS LONGER. You don’t have to pay any more money for it than you would for other hard coal. The price is down now. Why not let us fill your bin for winter? A telephone will bring us. We handle the MAJESTIC SOFT COAL. You can’t buy any better. HOW MANY TORN SHALL WE SEND YOU f . EDMONDS BROS. THE ELEVATQK MEN. HASTINGS, MICH. Phone 18 Auction Sale!

Editors of the Banner: I note thot you have recently had a confenence up there to consider why the farmers are not dealing with you, that you have presented an Indictment against us contain­ ing six counts and now Invite us to plead to this indictment. I was born between two maple logs just outside your city limtta. In some respects it is the town I love best on earth. My sincere interest in her welfare Is my excuse for this Infliction. I take up the counts seriatim. I may remark first that It seems to me that some lines of business In your city are being overdone. When some one la bemoaning the fact that bls trade is falling off. he must cotudder that a big lot of oth­ er follows are dipping In. Take the grocery trade for instance. No one questions the right of anybody to open a grocery' if he sees fit. but one sees them all around the out­ skirts of the town and now the poultry houses and lumber yards are putting In a stock while there still remain the blacksmith shops and livery stables to hear from. Why don’t the bank put In a line of drugs or hardware? I make no charge for this suggestion and such an arrangement might supply "a long fell want” fl) No hitching blocks. I believe this criticism well tak­ en and should at once be remedied. It la certainly Inconvenient, espec­ ially for a woman to make perhaps two or three trips with parcels from the stores to some distant point where her horse Is hitched. If blocks are provided so horses can be hitched just temporarily of course. It would be a great conven­ ience and be duly appreciated. (2) Stores closed evenings. This would cut no figure with any­ one living as far away as I do and I suspect the matter in general Is more fancied than real. Many years ago when I was a member of the council In your City (one can never tell how low a man may­ sink you know) a petition was pre­ sented asking for the closing of the barber shops on Sunday. This petition was referred to the ordin­ ance committee of which I was chairman. I interviewed every barber in the city and soon learn­ ed to my surprise that they origi­ nated nnd wore pushing this peti­ tion. They did not want to offend their patrons and yet objected to committing suicide by working themselves to death. There were some people who could not possibly find time to get shaved on anyday but Sunday. I presume no one-Is clamoring noi to have these shops open Sundays. I question Whether this other case Isn't quite similar. (3) Mall order houses. I think this matter Is greatly overestimated, i Doubtless jnany buv a .little from them, but only a little (4) Canvassing for orders. , There Is nothing of that sort in thia vicinity, unless it may be the -painkiller'' rnnn. There used to be wngofls running from some of the country stores and there may lie yrt. but I should hardly think they Invade any territory naturally belonging, to Hastings. (51 A. price trust. I have never heard any such ac­ cusation made and do not believe any number entertain such an Idea. (6) No saloons. This last Is a corker nnd in point of regl. genuine Interest is worth all the rest. The other day while waiting for a train I spent a half hour bragging to a Kent Co. man that I had the pleasure and the honor of living In a county that hadn't a saloon within her borders, and furthermore, there was never going to be one: that while we put them out by a majority of 1500 we could turn the trick any day now by twice that sum. Thia la one of tbe few subjects upon which I really enjoy "rubbing it Into" the other fellow. Of all the absurd and ridiculous Ideas that ever en­ tered into the mind of man the notion that saloons nre necessary tn the prosperity of n town Is about the moot silly and prepos­ terous. It would be precisely as sensible to Insist that a supply of wildcats and rattlesnakes would be conducive to the health and hap­ piness of the people. If the busl• ss men of Hastings endeavor to restore the saloons under the mis­ taken notion that tt will help their'buslness they will be entitled to mighty little sympathy If their trade does go a gHmmcrng. They can rest perfectly assured that ntne tenths of all the men who would come there simply because of the where, don't be caught napping.

BuL why don't the farmers come to Hastings to trade? It is a fair question. Why don't they? Why should they? Our country merchants are enterprising and ac­ commodating: keep a good all­ round. general stock; sell just as cheap as Hastings merchants; send a delivery wagon to our doors and take our produce at the same time, for a'hlch they pay the top of the market; and haven’t your business men Iterated and reiterated.

CmmoR Sense Real Estate Talk No. 4 Tktn M noAinn good or bad, valuable or worth­ Um, noopt by oomparuon, arui one muet have tome knowledge upon which to base hie judgment, to act intelligently, to make an accurate oomjiarative value of any commodity. And I know of no'commodity which reguiree a greater breadth of knowledge or a keener eenee of comparative value than properly judging farm vakuee. One must consider the eoil. buildings, fences, timber, location, roads to market and the general condition of the premises, whether things are picked up, lawns mowed and looks like a prosperous and contented farm home, or whether boards arui refuse are strewn about the yard, road­ side, and fences grown full of brush and weeds, and looks like the devil. • Whose judgment would you prefer, if you wished either to buy or sell, that of the Johnnie Wise Man found on the street corners, no business of his otm, accept butting into other people s business, dispensing his wonderful furul of knowledge to all who will listen free of charge, without money and without price, or that of the wide awake, hustling, square dealing real estate man, who is listing and selling thousands of dollars worth of farm property every month' And when I say square (Isalii.g, I mean every word of it. In all the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property I have sold in the last fow years, I defy any man to put his finger on a single instance, where I have made a false statement or a mierepresenlatiim. There is a certain class of people (they should be called by some other name) in every community who are always ready to guy anyone that starts in busi­ ness; and if he fails they call him ‘ 'a dub, ” ridicule and abuse him; if he succeeds they hate him, call him “a grafter," “a thief,” "a robber." Well in a way I dm glad I have engendered their animosity because it proves conclusively that I have succeeded I have established a business lam proud of. It has been a hard dimb for four long years. I have had a great deal to contend with. My health has been wretched, but my friends have been loyal, and especi­ ally the farming community of Harry County ami the business men of Hastings. I have succeeded. I have "made good;" and to reach a still greater eyeess, to add stiU more to the selling value of Barry Co. real estate, I must have the hearty co-operation of owners of farm property of Barry County. . To increase the value of farm property of any community, it is necessary to create a demand for that property. And that is exactly what I have been doing for Barry County farm property, and the only way I qan make pour property worth more is for you to list yowr property with me. I want note at least FIFTY OR MORE GOOD FARMS THAT WILL SELL FOR FIFTY TO SEVENTY DOLLARS PER ACRE. Don't wait till newt winter, I want them now. There are a lot of good farms for sale in Barry County and I am compelled to go ■ over into Eaton County to list farms, and I sold two farms last week, one in Bellevue township and one in Ver­ montville township. " My business is selling farms, and I would much prefer to sell Barry County farms. But if YOU won't list them there are others who will. And lam going to have one hundred more good farms on my list tn the neat thirty days. If you wish to sell, list your property with me now. I am getting a great many replies from my foreign adoertising these days. . C. B. BENHAM, DUGI1ATDU IF LAW PtICEJ A* hough the president Ik 1 field were In Battle ('reek Friday. Vlrgtnla campaign. W.

Through the many years that I have been repairing jewelry I have learned what concerns make reliable jewelry, and what concerns do not. It has been of great help to me in buying, because there are products of certain factories that I would not give shelfroom. The profits'on such jewelry arc very large, and a good many jewelers MUST handle that ‘class of goods because the factories that make them are busy. But I determined when I went, into business for myself that I would only sell goods of QUALITY and CHARACTER; goods that have the VALUE back of them, and genuine WEAR in them.’ I will only sell goods that ARE WORTH THE MONEY, and I always want to give my customers such complete satisfaction that they will come back 'here ONE YEAR; TWO YEARS; or TEN YEARS later OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, and knowing that they will always get a SQUARE DEAL. Where _ Many Fail Have you ever stopped to think that there’s a greater _ chance for DECEPTION in the manufacture of jewelry than in any other line. “AU*a not gold that glitters.” A thin washing of gold over a cheap metal case, It won t GIVE THE for instance, makes' an attractive looking watch. but it WON’T WEAR. SERVICE, and the chances are about niuty-nine to one that the works are just as deceptive as the case. Now I don't claim to have the largest stock of jewelry in the state but so far as it goes THERE IS NO BETTER STOCK than what I have to offer you. I am prepared to sell it RIGHT, because I paid the CASH and bought it RIGHT. I’ve had to "go slow", adding little by little each year until now I ha\e(a wide and varied assortment. I am in better position to give you THE BEST GOODS for your money. And re­ member that MY GUARANTEE is back of every article I sell you. If it isn’t EXACTLY as 1 represent it, yon bring it right back and get your monev. That's the way I do business. On that basis I solicit your patronage. On GENUINE MERIT and VALUE I will DO BETTER BY YOU than any one else can, AND I'M HERE TO “ MAKE GOOD.” ’ . _____ .a I am not only going to sell only such goods as I can sell on honor, and which will prove just as represented, but also I am going to sell them at a modest profit—one that will be. fair to the purchaser and faiy. to me. And I am gping to inaugurate, beginning next week a series of Please Notice I I | I j I SPECIAL SALES That will be worth YOUR while to notice. They will be changed every week, and will be genuine bargains.

Terms of Sale ^’X0^-000^ given on good bankable notes, at«. �£ COSTWA-N It » certainly fuany tbe way some people figure the coat of flour. They figtua that if they pay perhaps toe orYjjc less on a too pounds of flour that they are SAVING just that much. Ask any of them whether they have any flour waste, and they will generally say “Oh, yes; once in a while.” The real fact is they “waste” quite often, but as baking days are several days apart, this waste doesn’t seem very often. And then some housewives don’t figure it entirely as a waste “because the chickens will eat it.” Flour is pretty expensive feed for chickens, and there’s a lot of flour that wouldn’t be good even for the poultry. But if housewives will figure up the waste they will find that they are paying more than they would have to pay for For Hem—Kight room house, with barn. wagon shed, corn crib, hog pen. chicken perk, on 8.

S. Goodyear Co In 1859 this store was started by J. S, Goodyear and the late Wm. Barlow, and from that day to this has enjoyed an un­ interrupted period of business success. The foundation upon which this store was started was that of giving everyone FULL VALUE for every dollar spent here. Never for a moment has it departed from its established policy of handling the BEST CT.ASS OF GOODS FORW1 HE MONEY. We are proud of the reputation we have won for handling GOOD DE­ PENDABLE MERCHANDISE and selling it at just as low a price as possible, QUALITY considered. We have never followed the policy, adopted by some stores, of marking goods way up and then advertising great “price-cutting sales,” in order to induce customers to pay about REGULAR PRICES for the goods. We have always conducted an honorable, straight-for­ ward business, and always doing "just as we agreed to do." and we will edntinue that policy. In appreciation of the liberal pat pat-­ ronage accorded us, we will, on the dates above named, make a 10 Per Cent Cash Refund on Every Article Purchased In This Store It is very unusual to give a CASH DISCOUNT at the very outset of the season when COATS, FURS and WINTER GOODS are in greatest demand. And in doing this, we want it thoroughly understood that we have no “left-over” goods to work off. Our lines of goods right NOW are at their very best, and we never had a better, brighter or more attractive stock of goods to offer than we have at this minute. Our lines in all departments including COATS, FURS, DRESS SKIRTS, DRESS GOODS, BLANKETS, OUTINGS, etc. are complete and offer exceptionally good values. Our 9th Annual Coat and Fur Sale Will Also Be Held On Dates Above Named In connection with our 50th Anniversary Sale, we will hold our 9th ANNUAL COAT AND FUR SALE and the 10 PER CENT CASH REFUND WILL APPLY TO COATS AND FURS BOUGHT DURING THIS SALE. Those who have attended these sales in the past KNOW the EXCEPTIONAL opportunities offered to purchase COATS and FURS at greatly reduced prices. And we will give buyers a greater variety of selections, this year than we ever have in the past. In addition to our own large assortments we will have Special Lines of Coats and Furs from the Leading Manufacturers in this Country By getting in -these large outside lines it will enable us to give our customers even a larger and wider range of selections than they could get in many of the large city stores. During all these sales in the past we have always made EXCEPTION­ ALLY LOW PRICES. But during this, our 50th ANNIVERSARY SALE the extra 10 PER CENT CASH RE­ FUND will apply on all lines of Coats and Furs, the same as on ANY and EVERY ARTICLE in our store. As this store was the Mecca for the pioneers of 50 years ago, so during this 50th Anniversary Sale we want it to be the HEADQUAR­ TERS for everyone in this county who may be wanting Coats and Furs. We can offer you an unusally large range of selections, and at prices that will be JUST AS ATTRACTIVE TO BUYERS AS THE WIDE RANGE OF SE­ LECTIONS. During this sale we will give away ABSOLUTELY FREE a SABLE SQUIRREL SCARF and MUFF, the celebrated ANNIS FURS of DETROIT, value $16.00; a Lady’s COAT value $16.00 from the well known Printzess line; an 8 yard Dress Pattern, value $9.20; and a Black Silk Petticoat, value $6. See them on display in our front window, together with further particu­ lars concerning them. Don't fail to attend this sale and remember the dates October 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30th.

I have tried to treat everybody square, have worked hard night and day, have bought . . it market prices for it. I believe, aKd so do the large majority of my customers, that there is QUALITY IN MEAT just as there is in any merchandise. When I buy the fat cattle that give the nice tender steaks and juicy, tender roasts and stews there is lots of waste to it that I cannot sell. Consequently I have had to ask more for my meats than as if I had not been particular about the quality. For I can buy cattle, for instance at from 25 to 40 per cent less than I have paid.When you understand that the cattle dress away half in slaughtering, you. can ♦ appreciate that if I had sacrificed quality I could have sold meats for less. But farmers who fat their cattle right are entitled to pay for their labor and grain, and people who buy meat from that kind of cattle must pay for it in higher prices for meats, but will get their pay in better meats, and better flavored meats, I am going to continue to supply my customers who want QUALITY in their meats, with the best I can buy at the old prices, I cannet afford to ask less, But there seems to be a demand this winter for cheaper meat. Fm going to meet that demand by selling the same grades that others sell at the •samr or less prices.

THE BEST FOR YOUR MONEY That is wbat you are looking for, and that i« what I will mH you in every­ thing in the line of Jewelry. I have devoted more than 20 years of my life learning jewelry, and always with the idea of sometime owning a complete aud up-to-date Jewelry store in Hastings But jewelry runs into money very rap­ idly—and I didn’t have the money. I had to begin at the very bottom and work my way up. .‘ It’s been a long pull, and a hard one, but I have won out. In my 20 years I’ve gained a lot of valuable experience. It has been worth a lot to those who buy jewelry of me, because I have found out what to buy and what not to buy. 1 have always given everyone a square deal. I expect to stay in Hastings a long time. I would rather miss the profit on a sale than to sell anyone an article that was not right, I have a very complete assortment of everything in the line of jewelry.

A SQUARE TALK ABOUT THE MEAT BUSINESS I want to make a plain, square, frank statementabout the meat business. I want the CONFIDENCE of the people of Hastings and vicinity entitled to it. For I Haie Always Done A Square Business and Given Enry Man A Square Deal. For over 20 years I have followed this business. I grew up in it from a boy. No man in this city or county has put in longer hours or harder work than have I. ■ For ten years I have been in the meat business as the proprietor of a meat market. I haveworked just as hard for myself as I did for others; put in just as long hours and as much hard woik. and believe I am * ♦ * 4. ♦ I Have Made A Success of the Business But I have done it fairly in the only way success can be won in the meat business—HARD W ORK, LONG HOURS, SELLING THE BEST MEATS I COULD BUY AT A SMALL PROFIT, AND TREATING EVERYBODY SQUARE. No one ought to envy the man who wins success in the meat business on that basis—he has earned it. An effort is being made by interested parties to discredit me and the business I have built up by so much hard labor. This leads me to come straight to the people whom I serve through my business with a plain, square statement of the plan I have pursued and the methods 1 have employed in building up my business. Then I will leave you to be the judges. The Foundation Principles OF MY BUSINESS HAVE BEEN THESE . Quality er age. makes much more relishable meat than a lean creature in poor condition. I have driven more miles and further from home than any man in the business to bring to Hastings the best beef cattle, because these have the good cuts, and the fine flavor which my pat­ rons like and have been ready to buy. Such cattle cost more. For instance right now the price of the best fat beef on foot is from 4 to 4% cents.. But the poorer grades can be bought from to 3 cents a pound. So the emphasis has always been QUALITY first, and FAIR PRICES for good meats. Fair Prices Service Most people like good meats—A well fattened beef, of the prop­ The ideal I have always had in my business has been to give my customers THE BEST IN QUALITY. I believe and still believe that in do­ ing so I was best serving them. Then I have always been PROMPT and COURTEOUS in supplying their wants in the line of meats. And a customer who calls this market by phone will get just as good meats and prompt service as the one who calls in person. In general, the aim has been to please and sat­ isfy every customer. If you will compare the quality of meats you get at this market with the same cuts from large city markets, you will find we have been far below them in prices. At Nashville, Charlotte and other towns prices for the same grade of meats we sell have ruled above what we have asked. The stories being told by interested parties to make people be­ lieve that we have charged unfair prices are absolutely baseless. If for instance I pay 4% cents for fat cattle on foot, and they dress away half, that meat roughly speaking will cost* 9 cents a pound as it hangs in the cooler. If I pay 2% cents, the meat will cost 5 cents a pound in the cooler. The waste in cutting away the bone is no more.in cheap meat than in the higher priced meat. The waste in cutting away the fat is far more in the high priced beef than the low priced. This will explain why more profit can be made in selling the best cuts in the cheap beef for 12% cents than in the better beef at 17 cents a pound. The Demand For Cheaper Meats If I have made any_ mistake in.. the meat business,. it has been in not catering at all_____ to the..trade AIEA TS. To supply that demand would mean that I must buy the _ _ for CHEAPER ___ _ cheaper grades of cattle; just as I have explained above. If some other dealer had attempted to supply that demand without attacking my good name and business reputation. I would not have entered into the field at all—I would have been glad to have had him supply that demand. But when in catering to that kind of trade, the interested parties make the false statement that they are selling the same quality of beef steak for 121 cents that I have sold for 17, thus holding this market up as getting undue profits. I cannot stand for it. I can make Just as much profit in selling the same steak at 12>£ cents that others sell for that as I can on the QUALITY of steak for which I have been charging and will continue to charge 17 c. The situation therefore seems to call for CHEAPER MEATS, and I’m going to supply them at the figures ns.med last week as follows: Round Steak . . . Sirloin and Porter House Shoulder Roasts . . 10c per lb 12^c “ 08c “ Beef RJbs Pork Steak Chunk Pork 05c per lb 13c “ 13c “ Pork Roasts . . Sausage with Cereal Hamburg Steak 13c per lb 10c “ 10c “ These meats I guarantee to be fully equal in quality to those sold by any dealer for these prices. But if you want the CHOICE CUTS from the FAT, GRAIN-FED CATTLE* which bring the top notch prices, I will have to get the old prices for the reasons I have already explained. In future I will be prepared to supply the demand tor both the cheaper and the higher priced tirades of meat. And you will get meats that are clean; for they are slaughtered in a cement floored, cement walled slaughter house and stored in a clean market. Very reepeotfully.

FEEDING THE STOCK Every successful stock grower knows that a whole lot depends upon the RIGHT JPEEDING of stock. We had lots of experi­ ence in the feeding of stock. We’re “at home” in the stock business. We know what kinds of feed the people t)f this county will want for their stock. We keep just the kinds that they wilt need. It pays to feed stock well. It pays to feed them the BEST— that’s the kind that we keep, and it won’t cost you a cent more than others would charge you for inferior quality. And very often we charge less money for our high QUALITY feeds than others are asking for something not as good. The RIGHT KINDS of foods are just as necessary for stock, as they are for YOU.

AND WHY IT IS BETTER There are doubtless many people who do not understand exactly What we mean when we refer to Sample Furniture. Nor do they understand Why it is better than other furniture. We are paying , for this advertisement to tell them. Grand ~Rapids is the recognized “Furniture Center" of this country. ~ " The styles of furniture Change Twice Each Year, so in January and July of each year there are great Furniture Expositions, or furniture “shows” held in Grand Rapids. Manufacturers of furniture from all over the United States, and from some of the foreign countries, make up Sample Lines of furniture, emBfacing Every Style they will make for the next six months. They display these Sample Lines at the big Furniture Exposition in Grand Rapids. Acres and acres of floor space are rented and devoted to displaying these Sample Lines. These big Furniture Expositions open about January 1st and July 1st each year, and include everything in the line of Furniture. When these big displays of Sample Lines are all in readiness, then the “Buyers” for the great wholesale and retail Furniture stores of this country come to the Furniture Expositions at Grand Rapids. They look over the various Sample Lines of Fur­ niture in which they are interested, and then Place Their Orders for such lines as the wish, to be “made up” after the styles of these Sample Lines. Now you understand that the Buyers place their orders from the Sample Lines on display. So * you can imagine that the Manufacturers want their Samples to be just as good as Style, Workmanship and Finish can make them. They use the best selected stock, they take more time in matching the lumber, they put them together better and finish them better than they do their regular daily output of furniture. And its perfectly proper that they should—it’s business. Don’t think for a minute that Furniture Buyers for the large wholesale and retail houses were “bom yesterday.” They are experts in the furniture business; they know furniture; they are paid big salaries fo. their knowledge of furniture. They know hOW it should be made; they khOW when its made and finished right and no manufacturer would think of sending his Samples to the Exposition that were not made and finished just as good as he knew how to make and finish them. Every manufacturer kfiOWS that if he should go to the Exposition with his Samples poorly made, poorly match­ ed and poorly finished, he wouldn't stand a “ghost of a show” to get orders from these expert buyers. That’s Why lines of Sample Furniture are better made, better matched and better finished than ordinary furniture. Now when these Furniture Expositions are through with, the manufacturers sell their 5 Lines at a Big D8.D in prices. That’S Where we Come In. With the big purchasing power of our three large stores in Brand Rapids, Hastings and Belding we are able to Buy Carloads of these Sample Lines of Furniture and Sell Them at a Less Price than Smaller Retell Dealers could buy the Same Styles for at Wholesale. That's why we are selling Better Fumlture at a Lower Price than any store in Barry Co, It don’t make any difference What you want in Furniture WO’WB got It, and we’ll sell it to you at a Saving to YOU. No matter where you live it will Pay YOU to see us, or write us before you make any Furniture purchases. a Miller & Harris Furniture Company The People Who Are Retailing Furniture at Wholesale Prices.

RalVe Motherland's Where YOU Come In Last week I explained the foundation principles upon which I have built up my Successful meat business. These are: Best Quality Of Meats, and Hard Work and Lots Of It. It you knew the long hours we put in every day at this market, the long drives we make to get suitable quality of stock for our market and the hard work we do, you would surely say we have earned our success, and no one would envy us. But there is always some one ready to slander the man who wins out. It’s an old^ saying, but it’s as true today as ever, that “TtlO Penalty Of SUCCOSS IS Efliy, Some interested parties have very recently seemed to fancy that the way to build up their business was to attack me and my business record. That is why. I published my advertisement last week in which I explained just how, and just why I have succeeded, and how success has come in ways that ought to be generally commended.

Is it not worth some­ thing to you to buy meats that are clean? 2. UP A I—TH F*LI L N ESS I have always bought the best beef cattle I could find, from such cattle is more wholesome, has a better flavor, is appetizing, and much more healthful to eat. I have the largest and best coolers in the county, keep the meat on the hook for many days until it is cured; and meat that is cured properly is nourishing and healthful as well as more tender and tempting. 3, A A5 I am here the year round. I have every variety of meats for you BVWlYllllWM I laZlv in the summer time, when it is harder to get meats and when the expense for icing and other items is far more. I can accommodate you the year through. Isn't that worth something to you? Every customer is treated with courtesy and fairness here. He gets just as good meat and just as square a deal if he telephones his order as if he came in person. I deliver meats to all parts of the city four times each day, and keep everything in my line that there is a de­ mand for. 4. • A Meat more I can more ADF DEAL That’s what every customer gets at this market. The misrepre­ sentations of interested persons do not change the fact. I cannot nor can any other man get the kind of steaks, roasts and stews my customers want from cattle that I can buy at 2Vz to 3 cents a pound on foot. If I could it would be foolish for me to be paying 334 to cents as I have. Counting the slaughter waste as half, and you can figure the rest yourself. The waste of bone is no more in the cheap than the better grade. The waste from fat that has to be trimmed away is far greater in the higher priced cattle. And yet these interested parties would try to mislead you by saying that I have asked exor­ bitant prices. It isn’t true. Prices at this market have been lower than you could get the same grades of beef for in Grand Ekapids, Charlotte or even Nashville. ♦ But As There Seems To Be A Demand For Cheaper Meats, I’m Going To Meet ♦ ♦ It By Putting In Some Of The Cheaper Grades At These Prices Round Steak . . ,10c per lb Sirloin and Porter House 12#c “ Shoulder Roasts . . 08c “ ♦ < Beef Ribs Pork Steak Chunk Pork . 05c per lb 13c “ 13c “ Pork Roasts . .

Then Mr. Morti­ mer. with bls superior Ingenuity, man­ aged to rig up an object warranted to keep all crows forty rods from a corn­ field or no pay. Next day Miss May had to come down to bring the widow some tea and pie. and M4 Mortimer bad to see how bis scarecrow waa working. Then, as the girl failed to appear next day. Mr. Mortimer had to call nt tbe Jas­ per farmhouse to inquire for ber. Then widows and scarecrows and lov­ ing heart-, and the good old summer time got all mixed up. and tbe last re­ port from the widow was: "Yes. sir. that last scarecrow saved the corn, and if you don’t believe thorn young people have fallen dead In love with each other and are going to be married next year you just wait and look at the society papers." Women Who Hato Men. From time to time strange instances crop up of women who not merely re­ main unmarried of their own free will, but carry their antipathy to tbe oppo­ site sex to most peculiar lengths. Thus one of these is utterly resolved to have nothing whatever to do with men on any pretext. All her food Is bought of women. nnd consequently meat never appears on her table, since there is no female butcher In ber neighborhood. ’ Not long since a handsome legacy was refused simply because it came known of women who make it tbelr boast that they hnvo neither spoken to nor allowed one of tbe opposite sex to cross tbelr thresholds for a quarter of a century nnd upward. But probably tbe bitterest man bn ter of modern days was an Austrian lady who at lhe rime cf her death was en­ gaged In ]*rfecting an elaborate plan for tbe ultimate extinction of the male sex.—London Globe.

One of these pays 75 cents for first. 40 cents for second, nnd demands an entry fee of 25 cents, and tbe fancier must attend to everything, even to paying the drayage. Prize hogs are not needed nt such fairs—the manageifient will do. Unfortunately fairs come nt molting time when fowls are In |Kx»r condition. They need special care and should be exhibited where drafts atul frost cannot touch them; bedding should be dry. a sufficient quantity of'gMxl mixed grain, grit and water should be provided, and the su­ perintendent should not only know how to feed fowls, but he should know the symptoms of disease, that such fowls may be promptly removed.

We pay 8 per cent compoundedsemi-annually on Savings Deposits. That is all any bank can afford to pay which is as careful in its loans as it should be, and which guards the interests of its depositors with the care which it should excercise. Yon want to feel safe when you leave yqnr money in a bank. Can you feel that way if you deposit your savings in a bank which must take risky loans in order to pay a higher rate of interest than conservative banking will warrant? The laws of Michigan require that 60 per cent of the savings deposits of every State bank must be invested In bonds and mortgages which have a low rate of interest Of the remaining 40 per cent, at least 15 per cent must be kept in cash on hand which yields no interest at all, or in approved reserve banks that pay never more than 8 per cent and often but 2 per cent on such deposits. The remaining 25 per cent can be loaned on approved bankable notes. The best commercial paper to-day draws bnt 5 per cent It isn’t possible for a bank to keep all its deposits loaned out. It costs money to run a bank. This is plain talk, but it’s square and straight. Can you figure any way that we can pay over 3 per cent interest on deposits and return your money with the accumulation to you, without taking loans that are risky and therefore not safe from the savings deposi­ tors’ standpoint? If you can think of any way, we will be glad to have you tell us about it. For this bank is here to serve the people of Hastings and Barry county, and is ready to pay all the interest we can afford to pay to our depositors, and safeguard their money as a safe bank ought to do. We are paying all the interest we can afford to pay and keep your money safe. That tbe people of this city and county think so is evident from the steady growth of our savings deposits.

Ths Natural Product* and Those Ob­ tained From Petroleum. Naphtha is an Inflammable liquid which exudes from trio soil In certain parts of Persia. Subsequently tbe use of tbe term spread to include some volatile oils found In Europe and even America. Tbe product of tbe oil fields of southern Russia is usually called naphtha, although It differs to no way from tbe ordinary grades of petroleum. Naphtha properly Includes tbe light­ er oils which pass off first in tbe dis­ tillation of petroleum, the gravities ranging from 00 to C2 degrees Beaume. Pennsylvania crude oil coptalns from 8 to 20 per cent of naphtha. In tbe refining of such naphtha several prod­ ucts are obtained by fractional distilla­ tion. Those which pass off first— namely, rhigolene and cymogene-are gases at ordinary temperatures and are seldom saved. Tbe next product is known as gasoline, n nutterial large­ ly used to machines and for Illuminat­ ing purposes.

GEORGE HINCHMAN, ^Tt^.Vch' Wo are having so many compliment* for the heat-giving, thorough-burn­ ing qualities of our coal that we would like to have try it. There’s just as inucfi difference in the burning qualities of coal as tlrfereTTin the melting qualities of ice. Take two pieces of ice, tidth the same size and weight, and put them in the sun. The piece that’s harder will last much longer than the other. The same is true of coal. The hardest coal will last the longest. LEHIGH VALLEY HARD COAL Comes from the greatest and best hard coal district in the country. The hard coal that comes from there is HARDER. It BURNS LONGER. You don’t have to pay any more money for it-tban you would for other, hard coal. The price iij’dpwn now. .Why not let us fill your binfor winter? A telephone" will bring u&.

There’s nothing prized higher as a remembrance than something good and substantial in jewelry. There’s nothing in which GREATER DECEPTION is possible than in buying jewelry. You can't tell when you buy a piece of jewelry what it is—that is from the looks of it. It’s an easy matter to stamp "181" on a piece of metal that’s only thinly washed with gold --AND THERE IRE LOTS OF CONCERNS THAT DO THAT KIND OF BUSINESS. You MUST trust very largely to the character, standing and integrity of your jeweler when you buy jewelry, and you can’t avoid it. For more than 20 years I have applied myself very closely to the jewelry business, always with the thought of somftime owning a stock in Hastings. I KNOW jewelry. I know the concerns that make the BEST and they are the ones I deal with. RIGHT NOW I can offer you a very wide and complete assortment of jewelry of all kinds. I STAND BACK of EVERYTHING I sell you. If it isn’t JUST as I represent, bring it back and I’ll always MAKE IT RIGHT. I am here to MAKE GOOD. I MUST HAVE the confidence and good will of everyone if I continue to be successful.

It is therefore appropriate that I should have something to say concerning Christ­ mas tytd the Christmas spirit. 1 need hardly assure you that'this is a subject very near and very dear to. me. First it is important to bear in mind that the purpose of Christmas is to teach the loving art of giving—never for vain show, never from selfish motives, but with the thought of con­ ferring happiness, just pure happiness, from the gifts we bestow, and in whose, distribution I am to have a part. I can t.ikc no pleasure in gilts that arc not made iq the right spirit. What shall be given? Bless you. my good folks, I could not begin lo answer that for a people so prosperous .ind so thoughtful as yourselves. Besides it would take away"nTlTcUoi the pleasure of your givingjor solfife one to tell you just what to give. Your thoughtful inter’*' est and its proper rccognition in your- gifts is no small part of the pleasure that-Christmas should bring to you. ’ • • But it will not be out of place for me ter suggest that it will be highly appropriate for each home to observe Christmas day with a dinner whose Ixmnty and appetizing quality emphasize and add to tho day's good cheer. You-will know, where to get the turkey .and the other Christmas meats. But as to some other requisites I am sure you will welcome a suggestion from me. I therefore take pleasure in informing you all that at THE WHITE HOUSE General Store in Hastings you can find these delightful and most welcome articles for the Chdisttnas dinner; Large, luscious oranges, grape fruit, bananas, grapes; also candies in endless varieties and of splendid quality; also almonds, English walnuts, pecans and other kinds of nuts, that are so welcome at the Christmas table. There too you will find the flour and sugar for the cakes to the nice apples, pumpkins and mince meat for the vics.

When we We believed that in Has­ We aimed to be that store. ’ We have never tried to see HOW CHEAP we could sell foods, because to do that we would have to sacrifice QUALITY and buy the CHEAPEST goods that money could buy. On the contrary our plan has been to buy the BEST, and sell at just as LOW A PRICE as we could possibly afford to sell store where people could come in absolute confidence that they woiild get the BEST FOR THEIR MONEY. For a long time we have been looking for a line of the BEST FOODS GUARANTEE. that would sell at a yjg We have aimed to conduct a . very reasonable price and something we could g? We found it -in the Richelieu Line of Coffee, Canned Fruits and Vegetables of all Kinds, Pancake Flour, Olives, Figs, Mince Meat, Cleaned Currants, Cleaned Raisins, Oat Meal, Breakfast Foods, Etc. The Richelieu line represently the PICK OF SUPERIORITY: It stands at THE TOP for QUALITY, CLEANLINESS end PURITY. It complies IN EVERY irJFwith every requirement of EVERY PURE FOOD LA W-STATE nnd NATIONAL There is a STANDARD in the Richelieu line, and E VER YTHINO must comply with that STANDARD in every minute detail. For example fruits packed under the Richelieu label are selected from the section where each particular kind of fruit reaches the HIGH­ EST perfection. If any crop falls below, the Richelieu standard, it is thrown out FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. Size, color and flavor are matters’ to which the utmost importance is at­ tached. Even the soil in .which Richelieu products grow is considered. As a result Rlcbeligu proclucts have a UNIFORMITY, SMOOTHNESS, and CILIRACTER rarely to be found, except at very high, fancy prices, and NEVER except in the choicest grades. By the Richlieu process of canning, nothing but the choicest of the crop is used, and all the rich fruit flavors are retained, because they are put up in their own juices, with granulated sugar. To Richelieu brand'vegetables only the seasoning is added. Everything in the Richelieu line surpasses in EXCELLENCE, in PURITY and in QUALITY. Every article bearing the Richelieu label is the BEST of ita kind. It’s the REST^pA Nature can produce, and the skill of man improve. YOUR HEAL TH depends upon the FOOD you eat. The better your food the better your physical condition. If you are paying yotir GOOD MONEY for POOR FOOD, you are guilty of extrava­ gance, no matter whether you live in the city or country. You get the utmost satisfaction, and YOUR MONEYS WORTH when y4>u buy foods that combine the highest EXCELLENCE with Um GREATEST VALUE forthe PRICE. The most convincing proof of Richelieu MERIT is a trial of the Richelieu goods themselyes.

That CUTS DOWN the COST of making the flour. Bu t bread made from the hard winter or spring wheat DRIES OUT QUICKER, and you arc EATING CRUSTS a day or so after your bread is baked. Bakers* bread is usually made out of spring wheat flour, and that’s one reason why it tlries out so quickly. If you arc using any other flour but PUR ITY that’s the reason your bread <lries out .su— quickly. * • Many of the larger mills use Durum wheat that costs 98J j cents a bushel—or 30 CENTS LESS • THAN GOOD OLD BARRY COUNTY WHEAT. But Durum wheat makes a dark, dirty looking flour, that to be made saleable.has to be put through a BLEACHING PROCESS, which the Governinent Pure Food Officials have been getting after. These few facts will SHOW XOU WHY Purity Flour is better,' and why bread made ’from it will' hold its moisture longer.

We have testimonials from many of our patrons who fealizei from $100 to $7U0 more than they expected from their Auction Sales. . ’ Large Crowds arc always present and bidding I* lively l*/hw 9 I ■■ ■ ■ Jr • J 1st-Because the B1NNER is read in nearly every home in Barry ' County. advertisement* are. read by 2nd-Becau-e the Auction Sale _ _ the men in their own hones at times when they have the time and dis­ position to read'ihenf. 3rd-Because tbe BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are foigotten .the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remercbered. ’ With the old-faihioned Auction Sole bill, rain, wind and the ‘•irrepressible kid”- mon put them out of business. At the very beat they covered but. a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the&ile was to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were usmily present, attracted, more by curiosity and a desire to buy article! for less than they were worth. Bidding was blow and articles soli cheap. BANNER Auction Sale advertismenta draw people from all over the county and we have advertised many sales at which peopb have been present from every township in the county. They were present because articles were advertised that they wanted and thiy come prepared to bid. ‘~ The Larger The Crowd, the Livelier the Bidding---Alawys.

Any, printing office Can print auction sale bills, but only a paper having a large general circulation, such as tho BANNER has can successfully advertise an auction sale that will bring results. 'I he BANNER is now printing 4,950 papers each week and covers the County “likea 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 Auction Sale. You shonld 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.

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.
