Il look* ■■ If It Juat dropped from THE MARKETS 1916 is here and you are laying your plans for the new year. You will try and figure out ways whereby you can “cut the corners” on expenses, if you can—and you can if you go at it seriously. Anyone can make their money go farther by paying close attention to buying. The question of “price” alone isn’t always a determining factor. “QUALITY” should always be given careful consideration. For in­ stance you might buy a bushel of apples that would be a bargain at 50 cents,..while -another bushel would be very dear at 25 cents. In that case you would really be, “making money’’ by paying twice aS much for the same quantity. in a good many articles, even where the PRICE is the same, or about the same, very often you will find that one is really worth far more than any of the others, because it will have BET1 ER QUALITY behind it. That's the way with French's White Lily Flour. It doesn’t cost you any more than any other flour, but it is a BE! TER VALUE, because it is MADE better. The grain from which French's White Lily Flour is made isj>ut through I 7 sets of rolls, while other flours are only put through 3 or 4 sets of rolls. French’s White Lily is rcduc- ed to a smooth, even granulation: other flours are not. French’s White Lily will absorb yeast and liquid evenly because the particles of flour are the same; other flours will not. You pay the same price for other flours that you do for French’s White Lily, but YOU DO NOT GET THE VALUE Sometimes your bread is heavy and soggy; sometimes you have to throw it away. You cannot make a good, even loaf of bread unless the flour you use is made of an even granulation. No flour can be made BETTER, or with MORE CARE, than French's Wrhite Lily. When it has passed through the 1 7 sets of rolls, every particle of the flour is of the same size. It is MADE RIGHT. ' When you use it you will find that it BAKES RIGHT. French’s White Lily is the greatest FLOUR BARGAIN on the market. If you are looking for better food to eat; if you wish to “cut the corners” on a our living expenses and at the same time get the best values for your money, why not begin the New Year right by ordering French’s White Lily Flour? You'll have belter bread, cakes and pastries in your home and you'll SAVE MONEY by doing it. Why don’t you try it? Why not order a sack today? The Middleville Roller Mill iddl R. T.

Edi­ son, thq world's greatest inventor, has given to the world a phonograph that can truly be called perfect—a real musical in­ strument. Music lovers, particularly, recognise Mr. Edison's triumph. They recognise in the New Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph that absolute fidelity to the original, that human, life-like tone that they have always hoped for but, until now, never had heard. The Hastings Poultry and Pet Stock Show As­ sociation wishes to invite all those interested in better poultry to join with them and make the poultry show the best ever held in Barty Co. JNew Edison Every premium will be paid before the show closes. Diamond Disc Phonograph The wonderful diamond stylus is the secret which gives to the New Edi­ son its superior tone It brings out these delicate overtones and fine shad­ es of sound, preserved in the New Edi­ son records, which give purity and richness. It has opened a new era in music. . If you are breeding any poultry worthy of being called standard bred and expect to show anywhere this year, you should avail yourself of this opportunity-to show at least a few of them at the HASTINGS POULTRY & PET STOCK ASSOCIATION’S 12TH ANNUAL SHOW, JAN. 19-22, 1916. id family Real Music at last Popular Sheet Music Demonstrated.

Flour ’ i I 1 j chine for dealing cards that la sold to make misdeals Impossible* Makes the Best Bread Yas, But Not a Costlsss One. Can't somebody invent a rutlesa road?—Union City Eagle- \ BANNER WANT ADVB. iimT. THE MARKETS You can’t make good bread from poor flour, so your bread can never be any better than the flour from which it is made. If you are using flour that is only run through three or four sets of rolls, such as is made in ordinary mills, you are not getting the best flour for your money. Such flour is not made right, because it is rushed through the rolls so rapidly that it is impossible to bring it down to a smooth, even granulation. There will be large "chunks," and small particles; it will not absorb the yeast and liquid evenly and it cannot bake evenly. The result is a "poor baking.” Perhaps you’ll have to throw some of it away, which of course ADDS to the COST of the flour. There is nothing that is more indigestible than poor, heavy bread. There is nothing more healthful and appetizing than GOOD BREAD. You can be assured of good bakings every,time you use French’s White Lily Floyr. It is not like the or­ dinary flour. We clean our grain better, and we put it through I 7 sets of rolls before it is finished and sacked. You pay no more for French’s White Lily Flour than you do for the ordinary flour. By owning our own mill, water power and lighting plant ; by running 24 hours a day, year in and year out, thereby cutting our "general expense” in two; by having the latest and best equipment of flour making machinery, we are abl$ to clean our grain better, put it through I 7 sets of rolls, and sell it to you at the same price as ordinary flour, which is only put through from three to five sets of rolls. You have probably made up your mind that “some time" you are going to try French’s White Lily, if you are not now using it. Why not commence NOW? Why not order a sack today?

The pro­ gram was interesting and much enjoy cd. The pioneer* wisely decided to have their future meeting* in August I SELL FARITS, HOMES AND BUSINESSES I cannot afford to list property and let it remain on my books indefinitely. I must sell property or go out of business—and 1 wish to assure you I am not going out of business. On the other hand my business is steadily increasing. I take charge of the sale of your j property in an up-to-date way. I do not let it rest until a sale is made if possible. I am advertising now and eontinuethrough out the year at intervals in agricultural papers of large circulation in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and other states, to secure buyers for Barry county farms. I have made hundreds of sales as the result of this foreign advertising and have several hundred names now on my books who may be classed as prospective buyers and am continually getting letters from new ones every day. । Now Mr. Farmer, I have been in the real estate business in Barry county for more than 10 years. No one who has done business with me but knows and acknowledges he I has received a square deal, and also knows, my word is as good as my bond and my bond is as |i good as gold. On the other hand there are those engaged in the business in a small way with C. B. BENHAM —low ideals, standards of thinking and conduct, inordinate greed and vanity, who succeed at the expense of others and who are content that others shall suffer and even starve that they may wax fat and ride among their victims in arro­ gance and disdainful ostentation and whose care€rs are a miserable travesty on true manhood. It is you to choose who you wish t<> handle your business. You make a careful inquiry and I am willing to abide by your verdiet I am the man who put Barry county on the map in the real estate way. In the past I have spent thousands of dollars in adver­ tising its real estate. I not only was able to get people to come here and buy, and thereby make it saleable, but was enabled to increase the value of Barry county farms hundreds of thousands of dollars. Who now deserves your patronage? The following are a few of the many bargains I am offering:— The officer* elected were an follows: President, George K.

In six months we’ve absorbed all the overhead; absorbed all the development expense; realized on all the experimental cost that is usually spread over a year. We edvered our material requirements at before-the-war prices—saved three and a half million dollars on aluminum and another million on steel. We have increased our production capacity of 300 cars per day last June to 1000 cars per day. So again We havq broken all records. Again we have planned and bought material for a bigger production program. And again we are setting a new and supreme standard of value— You can now buy the big, roomy, comfortable, thirty-five horsepower Overland for $695. And though the price is.reduced the car is improved. 106 inch wheelbase One-man top; top cover It has an up-to-the-minute power plant, en bloc type, developing full thirty-five horsepower. It has abundant power and speed and an exceptionally quick get-away. The value is pre-eminent—unapproached. We guarantee that the price for this model will never be lower. But this price reduction is made in the face of a rising material market—we cannot guarantee that it will not be higher.

The majority of old houses that are rented will be modernized—sewer connections, furnaces, electric lights, running water, and gas will be put in—at least some of these improvements of course must be made or the old­ er houses cannot be successfully rented at the same price as the new houses. The installation of gas mains an dclectric pole lines to supply sen ze to the new houses, and to the improved old houses, will be ver expensive, for the Thornapple Gas & Electric Co., this year be­ cause of the greatly advanced prices of copper wire, gas pipe and , other materials required and used in this work. meat :<i her houannoid. . . .

PROGRAM AT Crown Theater We are now planning the routes for electric lines and gas mains and if you expe«t to build or to improve existing property in the second ward, we suggest that you al once ascertain if electric and gas service is to be had in front of die property. If gas and electri­ city are not in front of your property and you desire to use either or both in 1916. let us kpow at once—at the latest before January 30th, 1916, in order that we may so arrange our gas mains and elec­ tric lines to serve the greatest number of people. You probably know that the amount of electric service wires and gas service pipe that we can install gratis is limited, therefore, failure to notify us re­ garding the use of gas and electricity in new locations in 1916 may make it impossible for us to connect your property free 6f change fpr the reason that your property may be too far from the locations selected for the installation of mains.

You’ll Enjoy Your Tobacco More If You Buy it at This Store Where You Know it is Kept Right There', a lot ot SATISFACTION TO US in being able to conduct a Tobacco Business in the RIGHT WAY. There's a lot of SATISFACTION in KNOWING that when­ ever a customer comes into this store that we can supply him with just the goods he wants, and that the goods we sell him will be RIGHT and SATISFACTORY. No ir.rn ever yet went out of this store with a Cigar that would, “pulverize” when the end was bitten off. No man ever went out with a plug of tobacco that was so hard and dry that it could “barfly■ be cut with an ax." No man ever went out of this Btbre with fine cut so dry that it would "powder" when it was touched. The Cigars you buy here arc always “just moist enoughour Plug Tobaccos you can easily "cut." "bite." or “bend;” our Fine Cut is always JUST RIGHT. Our Cigirs and Tobaccos always have that rich Tobacco flavor that you WANT when you buy Tobacco of any kind.

There is a reason why Rexall Remedies and Rexall Products are taking such a lead, The whole Rexall proposition is founded upon co-operation withsa view to cutting down expenses and giving the purchaser of Rex­ all goods either a LOWER PRICE or a BETTER VALUE FOR THEIR MONEY. There can only be one "Rexall Store” in a town, and BEFORE any Druggist can secure the famous Rex­ all lines he must FIRST take stock in the "Rexall" organization. At the present time there are OVER 4,000 "Rex­ all Druggists” in the country, and ONLY the most prominent Druggists are accepted. Every Rexall Druggist is able to BUY his goods at a trifle above ACTUAL MANUFACTURING EXPENSE, and for that reason is able to • quote either a lower price, or give you a BETTER VALUE FOR THE MONEY.

They were so well pleased with the UNIFORM QUALITY of French’s White Lily that they have never found anything to take Its place. BANNER I To be sure many of them have tried other brands of flour, but they always come back to the “old reliable” French’s White Lily that they KNOW, and have tried out. We are now creeping up towards the half century mark in making nothing but French's White Lily Flour. We supplied lhe old pioneers of Barry County with their flour, and we are to­ day supplying their children, and their children's children. In thousands of homes the name ef French’s. White Lily is,a house­ hold word, endeared to them through years that have passed, and likewise prized by us. If you have trouble on “baking days,” don’t doubt your ability as a good cook until you have given French > White Idly a good, thorough trial. Its QUALITY is always uniform, lie­ cause this mill runs night and day, year in and year out, and runs by watas* power, the BEST and most even ..ower known. This is what helps to give French’s White Lily its smooth, even QUALITY, and it’s the EVEN QUALITY that makes “Baking Days” really a pleasure, instead of a “dread,” when French’s White Lily Flour is usetf. When you use French’s White Lily Flour you run abso­ lutely no’chances. Every SACK is GUARANTEED to be SAT­ ISFACTORY TO YOU. If it should not be, all you have to do is to return it to your Grocer or Elevator Man and get your money back. It is a matter of satisfaction to ua to be able to make flour that we can GUARANTEE and it is likewise a matter of PRO­ TECTION to every user of iL Every sack of French’s White Lily is made and sold under ouf own name and trademark, so you cannot go wrong. We guarantee it alike to your Grocer, your Elevator Man, and TO YOU. It is the real QUALITY FLOUR that is recognised as THE BEST by all competent judges, and used by the BEST COOKS. . If you have never used French’s White Lily, why not begin NOW? You cannot commence anv sooner. One trial will convince you of its superior quality, and that it is just the flour you have lieen looking for. You will use it eventually. Why de- The Middleville Roller Mills Saw MUI Middleville R.

' In your boyhood and young manhood days, every move that you make, every act that you perform, if it is constantly repeated, becomes a “HABIT.” It becomes a part of your life, and your character, and unless you change, it will “stay with ypu” as long as you live. Every young man KNOWS “what kind of a build­ ing” he is puting up—what kind of a “CHARACTER” he is building. There are many things about that “building” that NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW, excepting the builder. Fortunate, indeed, is the young man who can be “proud of his job” as a “builder” of character. While you, young man, can keep some parts of your “building,” (your character), out of sight, yet you CAN’T keep them ail that way. In the business world, and in every day life, people are going to take you for “JUST WHAT YOU ARE”— and NOT for what “YOU THINK YOU ARE.” Some young men, like some politicians, get the idea that they can “FOOL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME,” but you know what Abraham Lincoln said about that:—“You can fool ALL the people SOME of the time, and SOME of the people ALL the time, but you CAN’T fopl ALL the people, ALL the time.” Many people are watching you young man, though you may not know it. If you are showing a disposition to HUSTLE and to GET AHEAD IN THE WORLD, (if you are putting up your building RIGHT) there are a LOT of people watching YOU. They may not say a thing to you about it, but they SHOW IT by- their pleasure in HELPING YOU whenever they CAN. If you are a young man, and you are spending ev­ ery penny you make, just as fast as you make it, YOU ARE MAKING THE MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE. Peo­ ple soon find it out| You are "building vour house WRONG. You are forming a HABIT that will FOLLOW YOU through life, unless you BREAK that “Habit"—and the older you grow, the HARDER it is to break. There’ll SURELY come a time when your EARNINGS will be CUT DOWN. But your expensive “habits” are formed, you’ll GET IN DEBT; you CAN’T PAY; you’ll soon be in the “DEAD BEAT” class—and that will lie the greatest calamity that can befall you. Why don’t you form the "HABIT” of SAVING a PART of your earnings, It’s JUST AS EASY to form this habit, as it is to form the habit of SPENDING ev­ ery cent you earn? Why not CUT OUT some of your useless expenses and bad habits, and deposit a certain amount of money in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT EVERY WEEK. We’ll pay you 3 PER CENT INTEREST on your DEPOSITS every year, and we’ll COMPOUND THE INTEREST ev­ ery Six Months. That will be over 50 PER CENT MORE than you could get on a Government Bond, and YOUR SECURITY will be just as SAFE as if your money was in the hands of the Government. You will soon have money to take advantage of any "opportunity.” You can’t do it unless you have the ready money. We have HEPLED many young men GET START­ ED on the road to SUCCESS, who began depositing their money with us in a small way. We take GENUINE^ PLEASURE), in fact, in HELPING young men, whom we KNOW have built up the RIGHT KIND of a character. But the business world isn’t taking many chances with a “dead beat,” or a young man who has formed lhe HABIT of spending more money than he earns. One of the great­ est events in any young man's life is when he“TUMBLES” to that FACT. What kind of a building are YOU putting up young man? What kind of a HABIT are you forming? Think it over carefully. You will conclude that the SAVING HABIT is the BEST one you could form. It means that you have started “on the road to SUCCESS.” The Hastings City Bank The Bank That Does Things For You.

You may not believe that—but it's true. When we say this "Dry-Mash” makes hens lay or bust, we mean just that very thing. It is an impossible thing for a healthy hen to eat this famous "Dry-Mash" and NOT lay. This feed produces eggs and they have to lay. It not only makes hens lay but it keeps them in better health than most feeds do and does away with much of the labor of caring for them.

Coughs of healthy parsons are easier to cure than the toiiffka of invalid*. The oowerful convulsive cough of a large man is harder to cure than tha cough of a baby.

These are often lost or impaired in the process of milling, but they are preserved in the highest efficiency in French’s White Lily Flour, the flour the best cooks use. . . French's White Lily is made by a special process of our own from the very best of Barry County and Michi­ gan Wheat. That is what makes it so rich and enables it to yield the purest, whitest, most fragrant and most wholesome bread, cakes and pastries. We would like to have you compare French* s White Lily with any other flour made. We invite you to do this because w£ know how it will come out—TRIUMPHANT. Perhaps you think you are using good fluur_now^.bjUt IS 11 ? You can readily tell by giving French’s White Lily a THOROUGH TRIAI.. Make a batch of bread or biscuits from French's White Lily, and a batch from any other flour claimed to be JUST AS GOOD. Then let the family judge. We will abide by the decision,, because we are confi­ dent as to what the decision will be. The family will ad­ vise you to buy French’s White Lily Flour, and they will praise your baking rnore than ever. And in any test that you may make we ask you to be critical. The more critical you are the belli i it will suit us, because you will then find out just 1 {()W GOOD French’s White Lily Flour really is. and that’s what we want you to find out. There’s no flour made, upon which there is so much work done to IMPROVE THE QUALITY as there is up­ on French's White Lily Flour. We have adopted every­ thing that is the VERY LATEST and BEST, and to aid us in our work we have all the newest models of flour­ making machines that the inventive genius of mankind has devolved, and PROVED to be SUCCESSFUL. We take PRIDE in our work. We never let the question of EXPENSE stand in the way, as was proven two or three years ago when we threw out our ENTIRE EQUIPMENT; of machines and REPLACED them all '>y.Lth brand new ones of the very latest models. We are ‘on the job” every minute and always studying to fin’d HOW and WHERE we can improve. If you do not Use French's White Lily Flour, why not give it a thorough trial? Every Grocer and Elevator Man in Barry County sells it, and it is sold to you with the posi­ tive GUARANTEE that it will be satisfactory to you. If for any reason it should prove not satisfactory, all you h^ve to do is to return it to your Grocer or Elevator Man and get your money back. It’s purely a “business propo­ sition." Why not order a sack of French’s White Lily to-day, just to try if out? mil- ....Ch Mr.pl- Grr The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R T. FRENCH.

A CONSPICUOUS EXAMPLE OF THE MEANING OF UNPREPAREDNESS Wliat ,,unpreparedness" ami “peace at any price" may mcati lias been shown.often in China, the most recent instance occurring last week. For same time China has been posing as a republic, although such a form-of gto rrmnent is entirely tmsuiud to any people where illiteracy is so common as it is in China. Our readers are familiar with the fact that the question of wheth­ er China should return to a monarchy, with Yuan Shi Kai as the em­ peror, was sumliittcd to the legislative bodies of the Chinese provin­ ces and they with practical unanimity decided to restore the old form of government. /Xgrceablc thereto Yuan Shi Kai proclaimed the <lechuon. and announced himself as prepared to submit to the decree.of tbe pco,>lr. IBui Japan does not wish a monarchy in ( hina just now. particu­ larly not when the Ejnpcrrir would be«o forceful and wise a ruler as Yuan. Accordingly the wily Japs ]>crsiiaded England, Russia and luly to protest against the proposed change in the form of govern­ ment. Of course Would-Be-Emperor Yuan understood that Japan was behind this demand, and that with all the rest uf the world at war 110 one cotild or would stop Japan from sending her armies to China to enforce the allies’ demands. Therefore Yuan has announccd that his coronation as Eiiqiercr has been indefinitely postponed. Ami as poor old China'has only a few ships and a small army, alxiut twice the size of that of the United States however, but about one tenth of Japan's superbly drilled soldiery, there was nothing else to du. " Suppose that after the war in Europe, the victorious nations of ■ Eurojy shonld decree that our form of guvt-rnmeiti was not pleasing to them, and with Japan's aid would practicftjly demand that wc change our form >H government.. • • , If valor or'la very counted in a ntodern war, America could defy all the rest of the world; tor there is no braver people. But war is no longer a question of the personal bravery of soldiers. War is a con­ test uf highly organized, skillfully operated destructive machines.

Wc hope the reel; for a tariff framed by any cuiigrcso is one framed by a lion-partuan camaffll FINANCIAL EXHAUSTION SEEMS THE MOST PROBABLE WAY OF ENDING EUROPE'S WAR. It now appears certain that neither thif Germans and their 41licr nor England and her allies can win the war in Europe. England has complete control of the seas. German arnis have won largp suc­ cesses on the land, but no victory can as be classed as at all de­ cisive. The allies have more men than the aehtral powers, and seem to have plenty of fight in them, ticnnan Whops still arc superior in organization and efficiency. 'W ' It seems probable that financial exhaustion will compel the ces­ sation of hostilities. By the end <>f thia year, should the war comtinue that long, England's debt will be >17,000,000,000 and Ger­ many’s little if any smaller. English investments in outside nations ■will enablc her tu borrow that huge sum fnd maintain her credit. Germany is not so well situated, but German organization may en­ able that empire to make loans of from $1^000,000,000 to Siyjno,000,000 from her own people. But in any event it means impover­ ishment for both countries for the next 50 or too years. Realiza­ tion of the staggering burden of war debt* may do what war itself docs not seem to have done, it may sober both sides so they will agree to quit. IT APPEARS THAT MEXICAN BANDITS THINK THAT AMERICANS CAN BE SHOT WITH IMPUNITY. in a recent issue tlu- Chicago 'Eribitue published, a letter from a former Chicago nc^ppaper man. who told of the scenes of terror he witnessed in l.'hihuSina, Mexico, last 1 )<x«ifil>cr when General Villa and his army wire preparing tu go to the Unountains. .We quote a paragraph from this letter: “I left the Chinese district and returned to the Foreign club. An attack on it was expected any minute. 1 warned sharply away from the windows when 1 entered the raiding room. The shots tiiat meant murdered Chinamen, the shouts of the blood hungry mob, could be heard plainly.

'bitterly. “They know wc don’t get any more protection from our govern­ ment than tlic Chinese do. So we’re in tin same class.

And if it is trad, how do redblooded Americans like to have it understood around the world that Americans like Chinese may be shot down with impunity?

Then there would be no cause foY complaint when they go into a store and ask the price on a wagon, wire fence, barb wire, stoves and in fact, nearly every­ thing the dealer has in his stock. Wagons have taken two sharp ad­ vances since last fall. Wire fence has another advance of $5.00 per ton in the last 30 days. Nails that one could buy last fall at $2.25 a keg are now $2.50 and going up.. Roofings are higher and still advancing. Twine is at least 2 cents higher than last year.

We want it thoroughly understood that there is no pre-arrangement in selling this instrument at public auction, as to some one who would put in a bid in advance—but it is going to go to the person who makes the highest bid. . Remember that the firm who make this high grade Piano allows us to fell only One Instrument at auction, but they give us the choice of selling either a mahogany or oak case. February 22, Washington’s Birthday, at 2:00 P. M., is the date we have set for the opening of the sealed box which contains the bids on the Piano. We will give $100 to any one who can prove that we have influenced in any way or asked any one to put in a bid on this instrument for us, as this bidding contest is absolutely on the square in every way. We are simply taking the chances that after this Handsome Instrument is heard and seen, the bid will be somewhere near what it is worth. It has every feature that can be put on a Piano to make it first class in every way. Such as Ivory Keys, Brass Pedals and Hinges, Copper-wound Bass Strings, German Felt Hammers, Bell metal Plate Spruce Sounding Boards. Come in and look over cuir full line of Pianos and Talking Machines. We handle the Bush and Lane,' Cable Nelson, A. B. Camteron and such other makes of pianos as we have thoroughly tried and found to be worthy of closest inspection. • Send in your bid as you do not often get a chance to buy a Piano at your own Price.

They may not say a thing to you about it, but they SHOW IT by their pleasure in HELPING YOU whenever they CAN. If you are a young man, and you are spending ev­ ery penny you make, just as fast as you make it, YOU ARE MAKING THE MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE. Peo­ ple soon find it out| You are “building your house WRONG. You are forming a HABIT that will FOLLOW YOU through life, unless you BREAK that "Habit”—and the older you grow, the HARDER it is to break. There’ll SURELY come a time when your EARNINGS will be CUT DOWN. But your expensive “habits” are formed, you’ll GET IN DEBT; you CAN’T PAY; you’ll soon be in the “DEAD BEAT” class—and that will be the greatest calamity that can befall you. Why don’t you form the "HABIT” of' SAVING a PART of your earnings, It’s JUST AS EASY to form this habit, as it is to form the habit of SPENDING ev­ What kind of building are you putting up young man ? This refers to YOUR CHARACTER of course. In your boyhood and young manhood days, every move that you make, every act that you perform, if it is constantly repeated, becomes a “HABIT.” It becomes a part of your life, and your character, and unless you change, it will “stay with you” as long as you live. Every young man KNOWS “what kind of a build­ ing” he is puting up—what kind of a “CHARACTER” he is building. There are many things about that “building” that NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW, excepting the builder. Fortunate, indeed, is the young man who can be “proud of his job” as a “builder" of character. While you, young man, can keep some parts of your “building,” (your character), out of sight, yet you CAN’T keep them all that way. In the business world, and in every day life, people are going to take you for "JUST WHAT YOU ARE”— and NOT for what "YOU THINK YOU ARE.” Some 'young men, like some politicians, get the idea that they can "FOOL THE PEOPLE AIJ7THE TIME,” but you know what Abraham Lincoln said about that:—“You can fool ALL the DgftPle SOME of the time, and SOME of the people ALL the time, but you CAN’T fool ALL the people, ALL the time.” ; We have HEPLED many young men GET START­ ED on the road to SUCCESS, who began-depositing their money with us in a small way. We take GENUINE PLEASURE, in fact, in HELPING young men, whom we KNOW have built up the RIGHT KIND of a character. But the business world isn’t taking many chances with a “dead beat,” or a young man who has formed the HABIT of spending more money than he earns. One of the great­ est events in anv young man’s life is when he "TUM­ BLES” to that FACT. What kind of a building are YOU putting iip young man? What kind of a HABIT pri you forming? Think it over carefully. You will conclude tlat the SAVING "HABIT is the BEST one ybu cdiiTd form. It means that you have started "on the road to SUCCESS* _ Whynof CUTOUT some'oFyouf useless 'expenses' and bad habits, and deposit a certain amount of money in The Hastings City Bank That Does Things For You. ■e hi BOARD-BILL JUMPER IS NOW BOARDING IN JAIL Leave" at Mrs. Welton's Walter Nary, Took “French Captured.

Hoover hai something to do with Domes­ tic Economy at the Michigan Agricultural College, and while she is of scientific turn of mind and labors under a high sounding nom de plume in; her txofesuorul capacity, she has not lost sight of the practical viewpoint. Her domestic •deductions always help the producer as well as the consumer. Mbs Hoover’s latest thought is on home made bread, and her recent note to Michigan housewives is one that smacks of genuine interest. In specifying how to make a good loaf of bread, she sgiin verified the fact that Michigan milled flour makes the best bread in the world. To the casual observer a loaf of bread is that and nothing more — a necessity to many and a luxury to others. Never­ theless, very essential to all. Economy is Miss Hoover's watch-word, for in her wisdom she figured thus; Each of Michigan's 3,000,000 population consumes in wheat, practically the equivalent of one loaf of brthd each day, being 3,000,000 loaves, which means from 15,000,000 to 17,000,000 bushels of Michigan wbeJWh active demand annually. Miss Hoover is on record as fa' provided all things are equal, and _ ---- ------------ .... . planted a seed that will net Michigan farmers a handsome sum and relieve the high cost of living. WhenMisa Hoover told Michigan farmers that Michigan folks could consume this tremendous amount of Michigan wheat yearly, and proved die assertrun, it is a newspaper's duty to produce the documents which in this instance is the sample bread recipe, which ordinarily would not get valuable space. However, it is printed herewith because it conveys a mrassge of economy to the house-wife and a note of prospenty co rhe farmer. Thus Bessie B. Hoover's name is added to out Agricultural Hall of fame during 1916, the Centennial Period of Agriculture in Michigan. ‘ Miss Hoover is a modest, unassuming worker, who objects to publicity, but what she has done for housewives and farmers will make her name a household word.

CLEAN PURE FLOUR Like French’s White Lily Htnr Buk.ry Th>_.. ___ .Eatuu.Jluulc Can only be made from clean, pure wheat. So we clean every kernel of grain front which French’s White Lily is made. We clean it by scouring and scrubbing—the very BEST METHODS that human ingenuity and experience can devise. We clean it until every particle of dust, dirt and “fuzz” has been removed. You couldn't doit better right in your own kitchen, and you would be greatly sur­ prised if you could see the amount of impurity that we get from wheat that Ico'.j ’.o ba clean. In other mills that do not have this most modern method of cleaning grain, a large share of this dust, dirt -and impurit v is ground up with the wheat and BECOMES A PART OF I HE FLOUR, and you have to pay FLOUR PRICES for these impurities, which detract 'from the QU.ALH ¥ of the flour you pay your good money for. . With our thorough system of ('LEANING our wheat, the flour made from it is CLEAN and the bread made from it is CLEAN. When we have finished cleaning our grain, all that is left is a thin, clean shining covering ov­ er the ‘heart of the kernel. In the process of manu­ facture, this covering is wholly removed. That’s why French’s White Lily Flour is entirely made from the heart of the wheat.” Every particle.of "Hour goodnena” is taken from the kernel.. That’s why it puts NOURISH­ MENT into the food, and a certain delicious FLAVOR that you will not find when any other flour is used. That’s why there isn’t a single thing that is baked, but what can be made BE! TER by using French’s White Lily Flour. People who use Ijrench’s White Lily KNOW this to be true. That is why its reputation as the best flour on the market has spread over this and adjoining counties, and even to other states. That’s why more bf it is sold in Barry County than of all other flours combined. That’s why every Grocer and Elevator man in the County han­ dles it to satisfy the demands of their customers. There’s a lot of satisfaction to us in making a pro­ duct that we know is RIGHT and that is just as good as it can be made. For 42 years we have done nothing but make French’s White Lily Flour. Every year we’ve made it BETTER than we did the year before, and we've never let the question of expense enter into any consideration where BETTER QUALITY was to result. In all of our operations we have been fortunate in having ‘ water power” to drive our machinery with. It provides ua with not only the cheapest power, but the BEST power for flour manufacture, as it is steady and never varies, assuring a smooth, even product. If you have never used French’s White Lily Flour why not commence now? You will never be without it if you give a good fair trial. • The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R- T.

" " ‘ WHITE IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED FLOUR A perfectly “balanced” flour is one that contains the greatest amount of nutriment in its most easily digest­ ible form. ' • It is universally agreed that good Michigan wheat makes the lightest, whitest and most delicious bread, and all manufacturers of flour are so eager to get it that it commands the highest prices in the markets. With our special system of milling we get EVERY PARTICLE of the flour goodness out of the grain, and with our new and up-to-date equipment we reduce it to an EVEN GRANU­ LATION. For many years we have followed the policy of paying a bonus to every farmer selling us wheat that tests over 60 pounds to the bushel. We've paid out thousands of dollars in such bonuses, but it has given us a bountiful supply of Michigan’s choicest wheat. It has been an en­ couragement to the farmers too, and many of them have made a specialty of growing wheat for us every year. There is a best in everything and the BEST bread, pies, cakes and pastries are made from French’s White Lily Flour. We do not claim French’s White Lily is the BEST without having good grounds to make our claims on. No other mill gives the close,’expert attention to the details of flour manufacture that we do. No mill ffTthe country has modern, or more complete equipment of machinery. No mill run any steadier than this mill does, as we run 24 hours a d5y year in and year out—and steady running insures a smoother and more even QUALn Y of flour. No mill could clean its grain any better than we do, and mill haa better quality of grain to be cleaned. is the fact that And on top of all these advantaj this mill is operated by its own WAI 1 POWER, the BEST and MOST ECONOMICAL power known. It never varies; it never goes UP and DOWN, and variation in power affects QUALITYA substantial foundation upon which to build a strong healthful body and a vigorous mind using disFlour is cretion as to the bread your fami should be of the the basis of all living and for that very btest quality obtainable. If you are not familiar with French’s White Lily Flour, it is bound to strike you sooner or later that there is a better flour than what you have been using, especially when you see the results of your neighbor who uses French's White Lily Flour exclusively. French’*While Lily Flour it unquestionably BET­ TER. It doesn't cost you any more than you have to pay for flour made in the ordinary mills, having old equip­ ments of machinery, and following the old methods of flour making. If you will give French’s White Lily Flour a trial, you will find that it will make lighter and more wholesome bread, and that it imparts a delicious and appetizing taste that you will find in no other flour. Why not order a sack of French's White Lily with your next order?

There are a good many Tobacco users all over Bar­ ry County who either come, or send, here for their supplies, or who have us send by Parcels P< at. This number is steadily growing each year. These people KNOW that they get BETTER VAL­ UES for their money here than they can get anywhere else. We’ve been in the EXCLUSIVE TOBACCO BUSINESS for a good many yean, and they KNOW that WE DO JUST AS WE AGREE TO DO every time. The fact is that we think a whole lot of the reputation we have built up for SQUARE DEALING, and we will never purposely do anything to de­ stroy it. When a man sends here for Tobacco, either by Par­ cels Post or through, some friend, we fully appreciate the CONFIDENCE that he reposes in us, and wc really aim to give him just as faithful and honest service a* if he called per­ sonally—and if anything a little better.

Two 1916 Pleasing appearance is one of the strongest in­ fluences toward satisfaction in car ownership. Empire cruiser type bodies with convex, rolled sides and high slop­ ing cowls are of unsurpassed beauty and there is an unfail­ ing harmony of line in every fitting, due to their special design for this car. For the first time in the field of cars for less than $2,000. special colors are furnished on order. You may have your Empire finished in the color scheme of your choice. It is the combination of these features, with refined massive appearance, that makes the Empire es­ sentially a car that arouses the pride of ownership—that $1293 makes you proud to drive your Empire in any company. Comfort of passengers has had special considera­ tion. Long wheelbase and especially designed springs supplemented by exceptional leg room in tonneau and driving compartment, wide roomy seats with deep, scien­ tifically built cushions assure easy riding comfort, and for the convenience of the driver every instrument for the op­ eration and control of the car is w’ithin easy reach from the driving seat. This simplified control and perfect ease of gear shifting commends the Empire especially to the wo­ man who drives her own car. Underlying these characteristics of beauty, com­ fort and convenience, there is that^ mechanical excellence and sturdiness that makes for satisfactory performance and long car life, at a minimum of operating and upkeep cost. Motors are marked by exceptional ability, deliver­ ing excess power smoothly and 'quietly to extra heavy driving parts of the chassis. • It has never been the policy of the Em Company to build cheap cars, nor its aim to reach huge pro­ duction. Consistently the plan of carefully building good cars from the best materials has been followed through seven years of continued growth. CAN USE A NUMBER OF GOOD RELIABLE SUB AGENTS IN BARRY COUNTY.

Saxon Strength Economy Service The New Series Saxon "Six" embodies the four big new ideas of motor car design: HIGH SPEED MOTOS, ci v a nd erful power and flexibility; LIGHT WEIGHT, due to mede/r design and finest ma­ terials; YACHT LINE BODY, the lattst mobile fashion; in­ creased COMFORT FOR ALL FIVE pa>sc is. •IT S A GREAT CAR. Over storm-roughened, winter roads, a car iorces its way swiftly across the plains, reaches the Continental Divide, clirribs steadily and surely up the ice-coated, eighteen-mile ascent tops the brow, then moves rapidly downward to the town in the foothills. The two unit electric starting and lighting system is reliable, effici­ ent and wonderfully quiet. The Timken axle.-, with full Timken bear­ ing equipment, front and rear, are of the same specifications as those used in highest priced cars. No automobile at any price has better axles than the NeW Series SaxoM. Helical bevel gears are noiseless and frictionless. The body improvements all help to make the "Six" even more satis­ fying to the critical buyer. The garnish strip around the top of body and the linoleum covered running board arc dressy and trim. The improved finish assures long lasting lustre The widened rear seat makes the “Six" roomier and more comfortable than any car in its price class. • ’ A curious crowd gathers around. Dimly on the slcet-encrusted radiator they make out the trademark bearing the name "Saxon.” "IT S A GREAT CAR," they say. one to another. These Excellent Cars will be exhibited at the West Michigan Auto Show. See them and then come home and buy a Saxon. This 6 Cyl. Roadster $785 Three speed transmission provides increased flexibility. Saxon is the only car in the world, selling for under $400, which has three speed transmission. The extra set of side lamps, the ventilating windshield and the adjustable pedals you will readily appreciate. The Saxon high speed motor has from the first been one of the mar­ vels of automobile design. Improved and refined it gives the ‘Road­ ster amazing power and speed.

THE INSIDE STORY OF THE DORT Those who know the inside story of the Dort Motor Car Comp~a< are not surprised at the popularity of this car or the reinarkah ' c value that it ot*eri. In the fust place the men who build the Dort have for thirty year* been giving the greatest possible value in vehicles. Many of you know these men and have done business with them. They are: J. D< Dort, D. M. Averill, F. A. Aldrich. J. D. Mansfield, G. L. Simmons, all of the Durant-Dort Carriage Co., mak­ ers of the famous Blue Ribbon Dine of vehicles. The Dor» Car was not laid out on paper, built and th. . i nd of the user. For two years before Mi single Dort car was ever offered for sale, Dort cars were touring the country and were being tested out under the most severe and unusual conditions. When the Dort Car was foully put on the market all the cars Dort could build were contracted for at once by dealers who had already had business relations with these men. The success these dealers have had with the Dort and the recommendations of satisfied owners have made possible a very large increase in produc­ tion. which enables us to offer the 1916 Model Five Dort Touring Car, fully equipped with electric start­ ing and lighting and demountable rims for $90 less than this car sold for early this year without this equipment.

Did you ever think that a SAVINGS ACCOUNT, started NOW, might pay his way through college a few years hence, or might start him in business with a fair working capital? Putting in a small amount each week really wouldn’t affect YOU at all, but think what a help it would be to your boy—or your girl. The child’s future is the most sacred duty of a parent, and you should aid him in every way possible. The very “hardest thing" about saving money is GETTING STARTED, and “getting started" is a good “90-per cent start" on the road to "SUCCESS." A good account start­ ed now will encourage your boy to form the "HABIT” of saving. He will take an interest in making his account GROW. You KNOW how a little loose change in a boy’s clothes “burns holds’’ in his pockets. Unless you encourage him in habits of thrift and saving, he will easily fall into the habit of spending his money just as fast as he makes it—and a boy cannot make a greater mistake. A good many parents have opened accounts for their children, Why Don’t You? We pay 3 PER CENT interest on SAVINGS DEPOSITS and compound it TWICE each year. That’s 50 per cent more than a Government Bond would pay you, and your money here is just as SAFE as it would be if the Government had it.

The ones who build now, or do what re­ pairing is necessary now, will very likely be saving a sharp ad­ vance in cost of materials. This is not idle talk, but fact, as all lumber journals see things, and we believe thqt the one who waits to buy building material will be the loser.

KITCHEN COMFORT Why not know and feel the Joys of a clean, comfortable kitchen—freedom from drudgery and anxiety between meals? . Stop laboring over a dirty, smoky coal or wood range that makes you feel mean and weary. Stop carrying the wood and coal and ashes with the resulting dust and dirt. If your kitchen requires- a stove to heat it during the cold weather the problem aan be easily solved by installing a kitchen heater in connection with your gas range. This heateV sets right next to your gas .stove and occupies very little space but gives out lots of heat and will burn any kind of coal, coke or wood.

WHITE IS THE BIGGEST FLOUR VALUE ON THE MARKET French’s White Lily Flour is milled from the very choicest wheat that is grown in Barry County and Michi­ gan. -Its purity and wholesomeness are attributes known to every housewife who has used it. There are other flours to be had, but the housewife who once experiences the satisfaction obtained from French’s White Lily will NEVER be contented with any other brand. When the housewife uses French's White Lily Flour she is assured of nice, light, sweet bread, that will have a delicious flavor found in bread made from no other flour. With bread made from French's White Lily the housewife is happy—the home is happy. For nearly a half a century we have done nothing but make French’s White Lily Flour. In making flour, just the same as in manufacturing any other commodity, there is a lot in KNOWING HOW. In our experience we have found out a good many things about making flour that are ‘‘not found in books/’ Making flour consists of more than just “grinding wheat." No factory, or no flour mill, can make the best possible product unless it is equipped with the best ma­ chinery. Neither can any farmer do the best and most economical work with an old, out-of-date equipment. Realizing this fact we have always kept this mill equipped with the very latest machines that would add to the QUALITY of French’s White Lily. We have never let the question of EXPENSE be even so much as consid- ered, when IMPROVED QUALITY would result from ichinery that we might make. Only 2 or any changi 5 years ago we threw out EVERY MACHINE IN OUR MILL AND REPLACED EVERY ONE OF THEM -to-date models. At that with the very latest and most time we really BUILT A NEW MILL, because all that was left was the framework, after we dumped our old outfit of machinery on the "scrap pile.” And the outfit that we threw out was better than you will find in nine-tenths of the flpur mills today. But with the greatly improved flour­ making machinery that came onto the market at that time, we KNEW that our old equipment WASN’T EFFICIENT ENOUGH TO MAKE FRENCH’S WHITE LILY WITH. installed our new equipment of ma­ Since chinery French's White Lily Flour has stood without a peer. Our customers have received a flour that stands as the highest type of the flour-makers’ art, and it HASN’T COST THEM ONE PENNY MORE. In fact, due to our owning our own mill, our own water power and lighting plant, and running 24 HOURS A DAY, year in and year out, you can buy French’s White Lily for the SAME MONEY, or even less, than you would have to pay for flour of lower quality that is made in the ordinary mills. If you have never tried it, why not order a sack? Every Grocer and Elevator Man in Bariy County sells French’s White Lily, and OUR GUARANTEE that it will PLEASE YOU, or YOUR MONEY BACK, goes with ev­ ery sack. You take no chances when you buy it.

Did you ever stop to think that while you are working for some one else, you are selling the best years of your service? Every one looks forward to the time when he can go in business or acquire property for himself, but no one can acquire a profitable business, or secure a profitable property without some basis for CREDIT. The best possible basis for credit is a GOOD BANK ACCOUNT. AND A REPUTATION FOR BEING A MONEY SAVER. The money that YOU put in this bank NOW will WORK FOR YOU every DAY, NIGHT and SUNDAY, until you are ready to use it, because WE PAY THREE PER CENT INTEREST ON ALL SAVINGS DEPOSIT^, and COMPOUND THE INTER­ EST TWICE‘EACH YEAR. That is just as high a rate of interest as can be paid consistently with the SAFETY of deposits in the judgment of this country’s best and most careful bank­ er?. _ j And it will be BETTER for you to rest comfortably, and have your DEPOSITS be­ come a SAFE 3 per cent investment, than to be uneasy about it as you would be, if you put it in banks that seek deposits at higher rates. When you deposit your money in this bank, you can know that it is loaned on choice Barry Co. real estate and to Barry Co. people whom you know. 1 hat is worth a good deal to you because you KNOW your money is SAFE; know it is not loaned out to specu­ lators or to institutions of doubtful credit. It has always been the policy of this bank to loan its funds to home people whom, and whose credit, we know. So you may know*at all times the money you entrust to our care is SAFE. . The sooner you commence putting your money in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT, the sooner it will commence* to WORK FOR YOU. And the MORE money you deposit here the HARDER it will work for you.

INTERESTING WA After Does its Duty in a Gas Range What do you get when you shovel coal into an old-fashioned range? Testa go to show that out of every one hun­ dred shovels full of coal, cooking value is re­ turned to the extent of about six shovelsful. The remaining 94 per cent of the heating value of your coal goes up the chimney or is lost through radiation. This certainly is not ec­ onomical. When you use a GAS RANGE nearly all of the heat units are put to work and made to re­ turnfullvalue. You do not need to have a big, dirty heating •tove in your kitchen during the cold weather if you imtall a Kitchen Heater alongside of your gas range. This little heater will burn any kind of fuel and gives out a tremendous heat at little cost. Our line of Gas Ranges are built to conform with the latest ideas in sanitary and efficient kitchen equipment. Call and see them. You will find the Gas Range to be QUICK— CLEAN—CONVENIENT and ECONOMI­ CAL. Thornapple Gas & Electric Co. Member of Hastings Chamber of Commerce.

Dr. Alirr Hear DeMrabfc- building h,t« We did not put on the "junk pile" a better equipment of flour making machinery than you will find in ninetyfive out of one hundred mills, just for fun. We didn’t install the most perfect and complete equipment that money can buy, just because we relish making changes and improvements. It was done because it is a part of our plan to AL­ WAYS keep French’s White Lily Flour in the lead of any other flour on the market. Any mill equipped with old style machinery can make the COMMON kind of flour, but it takes a mill with the BEST EQUIPMENT of mach­ inery to make the BEST flour. We aimed at the BEST—and we have attained it. No flour made is put through a more perfect mechanical process than French’s White Lily Flour. Every bit of the “Flour goodness" is extracted from the kernel, and is re­ duced to a fine, even granulation by being passed througk I 7 sets of rolls, whereas the flour made in ordinary mills only passes through three or four sets. Another big factor that counts largely in the QUAL- ITY of French’s White Lily Flour, is the fact that we run this mill 24 hours a day, year in and year out. This of itself is a great advantage because it insures an "evenness” in the quality that can be attained in no mill that does not run steadily. The shopping and starting of flour making machinery always affects the QUALITY of flour. You will find no other brand of flour that imparts to bread, cakes and pastries a taste so delicious and appetizitself is a great advantage because it insures an “evenness” flour and produced under those favorable conditions that . you will not find surrounding flour of any other make. If you have been having baking troubles, why con­ tinue using the same flour you have been using? You’ll find that it isn’t a "knack" that makes bread and pastries so good.

' �The Hastings Banner Part Three 20 Pages If every young man or young woman would make it his or her fixed purpose to s ive a part of the money he or she receives in wages each week, and put it in this bank, it w< uld be only a few years before there would be a comfortable sum to his or her credit, and I >est of all, a most valuable habit would have been formed:— Y special arrangement you can get thia fine 10* j inch Solid Aluminum griddle for less ' than the wholesale price.

It doesn't chip, it doesn't rust and it always looks so bright and clean and inviting B THE SAVING HABIT Did you ever stop to think that while you are working for some one else, you are selling the best years of your service? Every one looks forward to the time when he cai go in business or acquire property for himself, but no one can acquire a profitable business or secure a profitable property without some basis for CREDIT. The best possible basis for credit is a GOOD BANK ACCOUNT, AND A REPUTATION FOR BEING A MONEY SAVER. The money that YOU put in this bank NOW will WORK FOR YOU every DAY, NIGHT and SUNDAY, until yo'u are ready to use it, because WE PAY THREE PER CENT INTEREST ON ALL SAVINGS DEPOSITS, and COMPOUND THE INTER EST TWICE EACH YEAR. That is just as high a rate of interest as can be paid consistently with the SAFETY of deposits in the judgment of this country’s best and most careful bankAnd it will be BETTER for you to rest comfortably, and have your DEPOSITS be­ come a SAFE 3 per cent investment, than to be uneasy about it as you would be, if you put it in banks that seek deposits at higher rates. When you deposit your money in this bank, you can know that it is loaned on choice Barry Co. real estate and to Barry Co. people whom you know. That is worth a good deal to you because you KNOW yqpr money is SAFE; know it is not loaned out to specu­ lators or to institutions of doubtful credit. It has always been the policy of this bank to loan its funds to home people whom, and whose credit, we know. So you may know at all times the money you entrust to our care is SAFE. The sooner you commence putting your money in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT, the sooner it will commence to WORK FOR YOU. And the MORE money you deposit here the HARDER it will work for you.

Haatinue and Carlton; AddrcM, Henry F. Clark, 111! flrtcw Court, (.aiming. Mich. 2wka. If you ever get the idea that you are cl ing down your living expenses by using flour that perhaj may cost you a few cents less BVML per sack. ,than French’s ,/hite Lily Flour, then you’ve simply 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 heavy and soggy that the most of it had to go to the chickens, or the pigs. You haven’t thought about the hard work you put in to prepare and bake that bread. You had to throw away not only the bread but YOUR 1IME as well. Don t you count your time WORTH ANY3 HING? 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 difference between the cost of the sack q£ poor flour you bought, and a sack of French’s White Lily—the BEST flour your money can buy. No doubt when you threw away your baking you dismissed the subject from your mind with the thought that it was only another case of "bad luck1;" But the real fact is that it was NOT a case-of bad luck—it was a case of poor flour. You can’t have good bakings from poorly milled flour. Where the grain has to be "RUSHED” through three or four sets of rolls in order to get out a PRODUC­ TION that will b® PROFITABLE, you cannot expect to get a good, smooth, even QUALITY of flour. You cer­ tainly would not expect a good batch of bread from dough that had been "kneaded" only about a quarter as much as it should have been. Then why expect to make good bread from flour that has been rushed through a mill, and is really onlyabout one-quarter manufactured? French’s White-Lily Flour is put through 1 7 sets of rolls. Flour in the ordinary mills ■ put through from three to five sets, lite Lily goes through a gradual reduction, French’ every particle of flour going through the same process un­ til it finally comes out in a perfectly smooth, even granu­ lation. Wheat, in the ordinary mills, is smashed right through the machines in the shortest time possible, and in the "short" process no effort can be made towards uni­ formity. . If you could take a trip through this big mill, and compare, our process with others, you could readily see the difference between our process and others. If you've been using ordinary flour, and will try a sack of French’s White Lily, you will readily see the dif­ ference between it and the ordinary flour.- French's White Lib ' i much * *better, ... but it doesn.’t cost you any not order a sack next tim<5?

Now, Mr. Farmer, if you wanted to sell your crop of wheat or stock, you would bring it to market or notify tho man whose business it is to mH wheat and stock, would you not? You would not think of asking your brother farmer to buy year wheat or live stock, certainly not. You would taka your wheat to the elavato: and your stock to the butcher or shipper Then if you want to sell your farm, what is the best thing to do? Why. put it tn the hands of mm whose business it U to mH fanns—list it with your up to date, hustling advertising, real estate firm, ope who knows his business, and one whom you know has the ability to care for your warns carefully and expedition.where people come to Inquire for such property. , ?

To this end, we use queen graijis only in this brand—just the big, plump grains. Wc get but ten pounds per bushel.

Yet they cost you no extra price. Pure Aluminum Made to Our Order Extra/ Large and Hear, Cereal Capicily, 2j Qu. Retail Value, $2.50 These flavory flakes have won the world to Quaker. In a hun­ dred nations this is the favorite brand. Millions of oat lovers semi thousands of miles to get it. Our next object is right cooking, and we offer this Cooker to every home to attain it. But we supply only one to a home. Get this Cooker next week under this special offer. You want children to delight in this vim-food. You want them to cat an abundance. The way to attain that is to serve Quaker Oats cooked in this Quaker Cooker.

Together with our other Electric Departments, we have added a farm Electric lighting plant, which we can sell at a very low price, and we guaran­ tee that it will do the business in a satisfactory manner. Just think what it means to simply turn a switch and have light at any time and then the barn and out buildings can be perfect­ ly lighted without the danger of fires, which other lighting systems and lanterns are liable to cause.

OF KARO -GET YOUR KARG LABELS For a Rainy Day „ A T ONCE AND SEND nE" If every young man or young woman would make it his or her fixed purpose to save a part of the money he or she receives in wages each week, and put it in this bank, it would be only a few years before there would be a comfortable sum to his or her credit, and best of all, a most valuable habit would have been formed:— THE SAVING HABIT Did you ever stop to think that while you are working for some one else, you are selling the best years of your service? Every one looks forward to the time when he can go in business or acquire property for himself, but no one can acquire a profitable business, or secure a profitable property without some basis for CREDIT. The best possible basis for credit is a GOOD BANK ACCOUNT, AND A REPUTATION FOR BEING A MONEY SAVER. The money thfct YOU put in this bank NOW will WORK FOR YOU every DAY, NIGHT and SUNDAY, until you are ready to use it, because WE PAY THREE PER CENT INTEREST ON ALL SAVINGS DEPOSITS, and COMPOUND THE INTER­ EST TWICE EACH YEAR. That is just as high a rate of interest as can be paid consistently with the SAFETY of deposits in the judgment of this country’s best and most careful bank­ ers. ' And it will be BETTER for you to rest comfortably, and have your DEPOSITS be­ come a SAFE 3 per cent investment, than to be uneasy about it as you would be, if you put it in banks that seek deposits at higher rates. When you deposit your money in this bank, you can know that it is loaned on choice Barry Co. real estate and to Barry Co. people whom you know. That is worth a good deal ro you because you KNOW yotir money is SAFE; know it is not loaned out to specu­ lators or to institutions of doubtful credit. It has always been the policy of this bank to loan its funds to home people whom, and whose credit, we know. So you may know at all times the money you entrust to our care is SAFE. The sooner you commence putting your money in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT, the sooner it will commence to WORK FOR YOU. And the MORE money you deposit here the HARDER it will work for you.

The business man who would conduct his busi­ ness today in the way it was conducted 20 years ago, would soon have no business. The change is just as pronounced in farming. The farmer who would try to do his work today with a 20 year old equipment, and a 20 year old method, would be handi­ capped. He surely would not be farming ECONOMI­ CALLY and in the best way. The same holds true of the manufacturer, the lawyer, the doctor and event the under­ taker. It’s just the same in making flour. The miller who has a 10, 15 or 20 year old equipment of ma­ chinery in his mill, cannot make flour ECONOMICALLY and in the BEST WAY, because improvements in flour­ making machinery have been just as marked as they have in any other line of industry. The old “etone” mill of pioneer days may be of some interest as a relic, but that would be alh The milling equipment of 20 years ago, and even less, would compare favorably with the first mowers and self binders. They were all right in their day, but their day had passed. To be sure any miller can make flour with an old equipment, but he can’t make the BEST FLOUR—the French’s White Lily kind of flour, that is ALWAYS THE SAME and that ypu epn always -DEPEND UPON. The old style of flour-making ma­ chineswill “grind up wheat” but there will be no uniform­ ity in QUALITY. When the housewife uses a sack of flour, she likes to KNOW that it is going to be GOOD, because she can then know that her bakings will be good. French’s White Lily Flour is made in a mill that has a complete equipment of the very latest models of machinery. Every kernel of wheat has to go through I 7 sets of rolls, and at last be sifted through a series of silk screens. When the flour goes to the sack, every particle of it is just the same size as every other. It absorbs the yeast and liquids evenly and bakes evenly. You use every particle of it and your bakings are always good. You can’t say that of the ordinary Hour. In a nutshell, the dif­ ference between French’s White Lily Flour and others is that when you buy French's White Lily you USE ALL OF IT and have good bakings. When you buy the other kind you USE SOME OF IT and have very uncertain bakings. Why not order a sack of French’s White Lily TO­ DAY and give it a trial?

Court for Settling All Disputes. Hamilton Holt, of New York, editor of the Independent, aud n well-known opponent uf increased armaments, in a lecture htre on this Wednesday even­ ing, will say thnt ho did not think that the military program of President Wil­ son could be regarded a* * serious step toward militarism. The real solution or the preparedness problem however ac­ cording to Mr. Holt, is to be found in the platform of the Ix-ague to Enforce Peace, of which ex President Tpft is head, which provides for a banding to­ gether of the grant powers for mutual protection against war. Thia, Mr. Holt contended wuuld lead tn a reduc­ tion in armaments generally throughout the world. Mr. Holt will ray in part: “Th.- President of the United Htates, you know, a year ago proposed the queirtlon nf the decrease of our arma­ ments.

Why We Can Guarantee If a machine is to be guaranteed for five years it must be built so it won't break down. Every part must be aa strong as the rest—no weak points. Something besides "bull­ strength and awkwardness" has been brought , to bear in the production of the TOWNSEND SPECIAL. The theory in developing this spreador has been to remove the unnecessary strain throughout the entire machine, so tha the natural strength and staying qualities of good material and good workmanahip, could develop the greatest possible strength and durability. It was on this theory that the BULL DOG beater wheel and %he NO-CHOKE Box were conceived and embodied as a part of this machine. These two features reduced the strain and heavy wear on the TOWNSEND SPECIAL, so that at least 30 per ceht of the usual strain on other spreaders is absolutely cut out by these inventions. The SELF-OILING journal bearings, the Litchfield style of single lever which starts, stops and regulates all parts of the machine, and the general simplicity cuts down the possibility for trouble and breakage to such an extent that the machine is practically '.‘FOOL-PROOF " The bolster construction ot the front truck and the Litchfield style of bracing thi* truck to the frame, the large channel steel sills, the cross trussed and ra-infurcad frame, steal beater bars, selGaligning treater wheel bearings and our force-feed SELFCLEANING Conveyor with hinged sections—found only on Litchfield spreaders all combined, give strength, durability and long life, which enables The Litchfield Mfg. Co. to give each pur­ chaser of a TOWNSEND SPECIAL a written contract guaranteeing it for five year*. All possible causes for trouble, breakage, and accidents arc studiously removed and overcome. This statement is strong and so is the machine.. The Company is behind it and ao is JESSE, TOWNSEND HASTINGS. MICHIGAN �THE HASTINGS BANNEU. MARCH 16. 1016.

For several years past the lumber market has been in the “dumps,” and the price of lumber has been cut right down to the actual cost of production—and even less. At the present time, due in no small degree to the large home and foreign consumption, the DEMAND has more than caught up with PRODUCTION. There can only be ONE RESULT from such a condition and that is an INCREASE IN PRICE. Prices have al­ ready commenced to advance. If you are going to build, or repair, we advise you to see us at once, as we will SAVE YOU MONEY. We have a large stock of every kind and will quote you the lowest possible prices.

' 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers Means Gallant Going Over All Kinds of Roads The swift, silent breathing of the unique engine of the new 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers is faster than that of any other car on the road. Without gasp or throb, this weird, aluminum-lunged beast inhales a mist of gasoline through the tiny nostril in its carburetor so rapidly that it can spin its motor at the. supreme velocity of 3100 revolutions per minute. 1 <igh e ngine sp;ed in a racer means just one thing— track-burning car speed. But the high-speed engine of the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers means automobile attributes not measured in mere speed alone. It means the vhole gamut of performance most desired by men and women who demand more from a car than a bcftful of racing records. Cliahners engineers have translated superlative en­ gine speed into the composite boon of pick-up, poise, and power. The versatility of this vehicle has won it the vigor­ ous O. K. of every person 1 know for whom it has Derfonned, The 8400 r. p. m. Chalmers does everything a car should do. It wrings 18 miles of gallant going out of every gallon of gas, a mile a minute if you’re keen for speed. Always there is the feeling of velour beneath my accelerator foot. This car has the liveliness of a spirited mare, with a Pullman-like stability that keeps your back-seat pass­ engers from rattling around like peas in a pod, which happens in so marry other light, fast cars. This able Six is heavy enough and so finely poised that its four wheels stay always on the ground, with direction as straight as a bullet. By transforming this car’s superabundance of brute might into all-round performance, Chalmers engineering has saved you from $150 to $200 worth of fuel per year. So it’s a sane anti sensible buy from every, slant— and the smart ones whose sense of values hasn’t been blunted by prosperity arc dropping around with their check-Dooks. $1050 Detroit Personal Mia* Virginia Potts, who has been it<- HI ia recovering.

State The ONE chief and important consideration in buy­ ing flour is its "QUALITY.” You don’t buy it for its "looks," as you do dress goods or shoes. The only ques­ tion you consider in buying flour is: "WILL IT MAKE GOOD BREAD; IS IT ALWAYS THE SAME; CAN 1 DEPEND UPON IT?" Making the BEST flour—like French’s White Lily— is a KNACK, or rather a succession of knacks. It begins with the selection and proper blending of the grain, and continues all through the process of manufacture, until the flour is sacked. We were “brought up" in the milling business, but the experience we have gained in our 42 years of making nothing but French’s White Lily Flour, is worth more to us than all we had ever learned before. It’s worth more to all USERS of French’s White Lily too, because it guar­ antees them an absolutely EVEN and UNIFORM QUAL­ ITY. The name "French's White Lily Flour" alone, is a guarantee of its excellence, because it is made AFTER A PLAN, it is NOT one of the “happens-to-be-good" kind flours that finds its way onto the market. It ia good be­ cause it CAN’T be otherwise than good after the plan we use. It has been demonstrated time and time again that you can’t tell about the quality of flour by looking at it. You’ve got to TRY IT. One brand of flour may LOOK just as good as another brand that is a great deal better. That’s WHY we like to have everyone try French's White Lily. We KNOW that if they will give it one, good FAIR TRIAL that they will never be without it. 1 hey can see for themselves just how good it is, and that it will do even MOl^E than we claim for it. We can think of no fairer way to try it out than to make a batch of dough from French’s White Lily Flour, and another batch from any other flour you may wish to select. Form them into loaves and bake these loaves right side by side in your own oven. Give each one of the flours the same fair show—and then NOTE THE RE­ SULT. Let the family be the judges. You’ll think more of French’s White Lily than ever before. The reason that French’s White Lily Flour and so dependable, is that it is made after a plat, der every favorable condition. It’s even, uniform quality is assured’ because of the fact that this big mill is run night and day, year in and year out. Our machinery is never stopped and "cooled off." The stopping and start­ ing of flour making machinery always affects the qual­ ity of the flour. We operate by water power, the best and most even power known. And on top of all this we have the very BEST equipment of machinery that money can buy, and the best of skilled help to operate it. These are some of the reasons why French’s White Lily is the BEST VAL­ UE FOR YOUR MONEY. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.

We lay no claim to such a title. We don't expect you to read what we have to say because it ia "pretty" or overflowing with high class rhetoric. We are tooting our own horn (we fully realize this) but we have a horn tb toot and something to toot it about. The manure spreader qimtion today with every land owner la of vital importance and one of the leading problems of modern farming. It iu no longer a question as to wheth­ er it will-pay you to own a spreader or not. That's a settled fact. The question is: wliat spreader are you going to buy ? We wish to emphasize the fact that the spreader question is our horn and we are tooting it about the TOWNSEND SPECIAL. We hardly feel that we can be criticised for exploiting any machine that is backed up as this one is, with an iron clad five year guar­ antee bond. ■ , The SELF-CLEANING Conveyor, the NO-CHOKE Box, BULL DOG Cylinder, and OIL PACKED Main Bearings, appeal to the common sense of every fanner who knows anything about a Manure Spreader. No other spreader except those built by Litchfields have these features and we feel justified in making a noise that can be heard for miles around HASTINGS. The practical value, not value in theory is what we are trying to prove to our cus­ tomers. We make claimj it is true (good strong ones) and to substantiate these claims we have the evidence.

Grocery You can tell just as soon as you bite the tip off of a Cigar whether it is going to be GOOD or not. If it "powders up" in your mouth, than you always KNOW that it hasn’t been properly kept. But it’s too late then. You've paid your money. You’ll smoke it of course, but you won't get the SAT­ ISFACTION for which you paid your caah. If you’ll smoke a Cigar that you bought somewhere else, and then smoke one that you bought here, you’ll notice the difference. You’ll discover that there’s a difference—our Cigars are better, because they arc handled better. We do an EXCLUSIVE Tobacco Business. We give our whole time and thought to “looking after our stot-k," all of which ia kept in dust-proof. zinc-Jined cases, which are kept at just the right temperature by an automatic Electric Humidore.

I never want to live without your Compound in the house.”—Mrs. wwbmJ Frank Knobl, 1648 Fulton bt., Harrisburg, Penn. Hardly Able to Move.

The Gala Going of the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers Will Enchant You The peppery pick-up of this energetic car has put color and tang into popular-priced motoring ' hat was never there before. There’s delight in every revolution of her en­ gine—and there arc 3400 revolutions per minute every time the crankshaft attains its maximum srwed, which is the highest ever developed in an American stock car. Her glad, gala going springs from the terrific speed of an engine that was built, however, for much more than mere car S[ieed. Great force unites with obedience. There are stxirkle and response in this 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers that you’ll look for in vain in most cars with high-speed engines. By checking the awful kick of her motor down to a point that corresponds to 60-mile-an-hour speed, her engineers were able to give you instan­ taneous pick-np and 18 miles of fervent flight for every gallon of gas. You save $150 to $200 per year in gasoline bills and add many miles to the life of your tires by driving the 8400 r. p. m. Chalmers. Her riding comfort matches her economy of performance—and bothspringfromthesaineca uses. This is why: her heavy, hardened crankshaft is balanced to the weight of a hair; a perfect balance jf power is required and delivered by each of her six cylinders; and finally all useless weight, pressure, and friction have been removed from all reciprocat­ ing parts and bearing surfaces. There is undreamed-of riding comfort in the even, pleasant stream of might that flows at any and every speed to her rear wheels. ’ One rejuvenating jaunt with your foot on. the accelerator of this ndy, spirited creature, and you’ll know why she has cast her spell over 740 American cities. Until you know how it feels to release the delicious rush of power from a 8400 r. p. m. engine, you’ll never know the delight of real motoring. The performance of this engine gave me the suprise of my life—and I expected a lot from her. She’s off like a hare after every crossing stop with never a sign of effort or hint of fret. She slips from speed to speed like a dream car. She hits the hardest grade with the lightest heart I know, because I’ve put her to every conceivable test. And what she'll do for me, shel’l do for you Touring Car or Roadster, $1050 Detroit Colors: Meteor blue, or Oriford maroon with gold stripe.

That’s only a fraction of what other food products cost, that are less nutritious Have you ever thought about the FACT that when you buy a sack of French’s White Lily Flour you get more FOOD VALUE, more NUTRIMENT, than in the same weight of any other food, at anything near the price? Of course the price of flour fluctuates a little de­ pending upon the price of wheat. But right now you go to your Grocer and you will pay around 85 cents for a 25 pound sack of French's White Lily Flour—a little less than 3 I -2 cents a pound. There is more nourishment in a pound of flour than there is in a pound of beef steak, which will cost you from 18 to 22 cents a pound. In the prepared cereals you will pay 10 or 15 cents a pound for what you use—not counting the expensive car­ ton and the waxed paper, which you cannot eat. Investigate any food product that you will, and you will find that for food value, and nourishment, no product will compare with French’s White Lily Flour, which COSTS YOU less than 3 1-2 cents a pound— and less than that when bought in barrel lots. This means that if you want to cut dowii your liv­ ing expenses, and provide your family with the most nour­ ishing, and the most wholesome food, that you should be­ come thoroughly familiar with French's White Lily. It makes not only the BEST JBREAD, and light, flaky bis­ cuits, but also the very choicest cakes, pies and pastries. In fact there is not a single recipe, in which flour is used, but what you can use French’s White Lily to the best ad­ vantage, and your BAKINGS will ALWAYS BE GOOD —the very best of their kind. And you will find this to be true. When you use a plain, substantial food ‘product like French s White Lily, you will feel better; your health will be better, be­ cause it is Nature's own food. Cut out a lot of the knick knacks," and rich, highly seasoned foods, and get down to the plain "substantials," in which French’s White Lily should form a large percentage. Then you will see that you will increase in HEALTH and VIGOR, while your living expenses will DECREASE. So many people only associate FLOUR with "bread,” but there are almost numberless nourishing dishes of which flour is the chief component, that if they were prepared ip your own home, for your own family, would make for BETTER HEALTH and LOWER LIV­ ING EXPENSES. As a nation we have become wonderfully rich and powerful. We have indulged our appetites in lux­ urious living WITHOUT COUNTING THE COST. We have become accustomed to paying HIGH PRICES for food products that are NOT WOR 1 H THE MONEY, when FOOD VALUE and NOURISHMENT are consid­ ered. Why not order a sack and try itout?

First Door East of Goodyear Bros.’ Hardware �Part Three The Hastings Banner 3% Interest Our Safety De­ posit Boxes are a Great Conven­ ience. We have them in our Fire and Burglar Proof Safe. Place your valu­ ables in one for safety. Compounded Semi-annually Paid To All Sav­ ings Depositors. Better Interest Than a Govern­ ment Bond. This Bank Will Help You^ Save This Bank can be of great assistance to each individual who has.any desire to SAVE. Saving is largely a • habit and this Bank encourages that habit. Our system of taking your small deposit each week or month and plac­ ing it in the safety of our strong institution where it is earning you something, ENCOURAGES SAVING. We would like to have every man, especially every young man, who is interested in assuring a successful future for himself, to call at this bank and learn of the facilities we can place at his disposal, and the great help we can give him, if he will open a savings account here. We are in close touch with all the financial centers of the country, and our advice concerning matters is often of great value. THERE IS VIRTUE IN SAVING There is virtue in JUST SAVING MONEY. It is good discipline—it builds character, because no one can save except they practice self-denial. Then, too, it is planning for the future—and every individual should plan for the future. Nowhere are we taught that we should be careless about the future, nor is there any excuse for those who fail to provide for conditions which may arise. A little thoughtful consideration of the future and what it will mean without ready money, and what it may mean with MONEY IN THE BANK will convince anyone of the wisdom of acquiring the saving habit, and of accumulating some money for the future. • ...1 Savings In This Accommodating Bank Bring You a Higher Rate of Interest Than a Gov? ernment Bond Will Pay You, INVESTIGATE! When a man thinks of a safe investment, he ge nerally thinks of a government bond. Nothing is sup­ posed to be safer. But a government bond will give you but two per cent interest on your investment.

A system of vigorous farming was kept up for years until gradually the vitality of the soil became depleted and the productiveness of these valuable lands became less and less, until many hun­ dreds of acres of once rich farm lands were abandoned because they would not pro­ duce enough to pay for working them. The reason for all this was because everything was taken off the land and nothing put back.

FLOHR Bodies A solid foundation upop which to build a good, healthful body and a vigorous mind is in using discretion as to the bread your family consumes. Bread is the main article of food, and for that reason should be of the very BEST QUALITY. You can’t judge of the quality of flour by the looks of the sack. When you select a flour that has CHARAC­ TER and STANDING back of it, you can always KNOW that you RUN NO CHANCES. When you select a flour that has. a reputation, and made by a concern that has an unbroken record of successful manufacture YOU’LL BE PLEASED WITH RESULTS. That’s exactly the history of French’s White Lily Flour, “the flour the best cooks upe.” It has an unbroken record of 42 years of successful manufacture behind it, and it is BETTER today than it ever was before. There is more “food value” in a 25 pound sack of French’s White Lily Flour than in 25 pounds of any other food product you can buy at anywhere near the price. We have become known as a- nation of “meat eaters,” but good meat will cost you all the way from I 5c per pound up. The best medical authorities' agree that eating too • 4 i much meat and so many “knick knacks” is most un­ healthful and it isn’t necessary. You will be surprised at the great list of good things to eat that can be made from French’s White Lily Flour—food that is most nourishing, appetizing and health-giving. There is one quality about French’s White Lily Flour that you will appreciate the more you use it, and that is that it can be used to advantage in anv recipe that calls for flour. So don’t buy French’s White Lily with the idea that you must confine its use exclusively to making bread. A'great number of dishes, of which flour is a prin­ cipal ingredient, can be made. These dishes will be found most palatable and healthful and at the same time will r. . help to cut down your living expenses. Then in all bakings and dishes you will find a de- " licious flavor that is peculiar to Frertch’s White Lily Flour. Why not order a sack just to try it? You never run any chances when you buy French’s White Lily Flour. Every sack is GUARANTEED to please YOU. , The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.

Is The Greatest Bargain On The Market Fw Sale t bate Hobtoin. MT, 1 long. 3 French’s White Lily Flour is made for women who want the best, the most healthful and wholesome, and MOST ECONOMICAL food. There is probably more “false economy” practiced in buying flour than in buying almost any other food product. Sometimes people get the idea that they are "saving” a few cents when they buy a sack of flour that may cost a little less than French’s White Lily. But when they use the ordinary flour they get bakings of poorer quality, and often have to throw a lot of it away. Every pound of flour thrown away increases the cost of the flour just that much. And on all bakings thrown away you lose not only the COST of the flour, but all the hard work involved in preparing it. Now if you are one of those who have l>een “ex­ perimenting," or buying flour that possibly may cost you a few pennies less per sack, you are having “baking troub­ les.” You will eventually come back to the “Old Reli­ able” French’s White Lily Flour that you KNOW is AL­ WAYS GOOD, and that you can always DEPEND UP­ ON, because you have found that ‘’experimenting” with flour is EXPENSIVE. We are extremely particular about the manufac­ ture of French’s White Lily Flour, because we make it/or “particular” people. There is nothing that a woman should take more pride in than in her baking. To have distinction the reputation of being a “splendid cook’ that every woman covets. But such a reputation cannot be built up, when she is provided with flour of poor qual ity, with which good bakings are an impossibility. We INVITE YOU to test French's White Lily in any way you like—for color, flavor, texture or purity. If you do not like it as well OR BETTER than any flour you ever used remember you can return it to your Grocer or Elevator man and get your "money back." You will find our GUARANTEE printed on EVERY SACK. We are pleased to give this "guarantee,” because French’s White Lily Flour is successfully meeting the most exacting requirements of the most particular housewives in Barry County, in Michigan, and in many outside states. Bread, biscuits, cookies, cakes and pies baked from French’s White Lily Flour are light, tender, flaky, and in every way healthful and appetizing. They are never sog­ gy and heavy, nor sour ana unhealthy. Every Grocer and Elevator in Barry Coupty sells French's White Lily Flour. Why not buy a sack of it, and give it a good, fair trial? You will find it will solve your baking troubles, and that it will be by far the best and most economical flour you can buy. Why not order a sack today?

You get more real ser­ vice, they’re more durable and they’re the most economical wagon a farmer can buy. Farm Handy Wagon This wagon is made of good material ami is especially adapted to farm work. Size «t skein 31-2 x 10; height of wheels, front 30-in.: hind 36-111. and has a capacity of 3500 pounds. The reach is lonj; enough to couple out for a 6 foot rack. Price ■— New Rural Truck The New Rural is very popular as a handy convenient farm outfit. Has 3 1-4x10 cast skeins, height of wheels, front .V»-in.; hind 44-in. and has a ca|>acity of 3500 pounds. Price £ The Studebaker Co. has the distinc­ tion of being the largest vehicle manufac­ turers in tjie country. They are not work­ ing on experiments or theories but have got thd work down to science where they abso­ lutely know they are making the best wag­ ons, using the best materials and have the most skillful workmen obtainable. This, combined with the fact that the Studebak­ er Co. brought the cost down to a mini­ mum, assures the farmer more for his mon­ ey and a better wagon than he could pos­ sibly buy elsewhere.

You can then better appreciate the constant thought and study that we devote to this business, and •our effort to give you the best value for your money. No Cigar and Tobacco store in Michigan is better equipped, or pays more attention to keeping its stock RIGHT, than we do. When we started in business our aim was to build up a trade on tne QUALITY of the goods we,sold, and thejperfect condition in which we sold them. That we have succeeded is proven by the fact that our Cigar cases are so popular. Our Cigars and Tobaccos have always been CLEAN , FRESH and JUST MOIST ENOUGH. When you buy anything here yoii never get stock that is "dried out" or covered with dust and filth. You gdt a Cigar that ex­ actly suits your taste and is BETTER in QUALlTY'than the same money will buy any­ where else.

It is made of the best quality roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with the General's own blend of soft asphalts and coated with an impervious covering of harder asphalts. This keeps the inner saturation soft, and prevents the drying out process so destruc­ tive to ordinary roofing. That’s why CERTAIN-TEED outlasts other roofing.

Chalmers She's active, full of life, lack* "nerves," and de­ livers a terrific wallop with only the slightest effort I mean by that a power-wallop. Because she turns up 3400 revolutions per minute. Her crank shaft speed surpasses that of any other American car. w Though there are three built in the U. S. A. that get a bit beyond 3100 r. p. m. It’s like an electric fan, which turns up 4000 r. p. m., or a turbine which docs around 4300. Of course, the Chalmers engine doesn't hit 3400 all the time. 3400 is the maximum. When the car is running 5 miles an hour she turns up 250 r. p. m. At 10 miles an hour she does 500 r. p. m. At 15 she does 750. At 20, 1000. At 30. 1500. So you see the engine isn’t hitting the highest Sliced at the slower car sjieeds—those speeds you drive 90 per cent of the time. In a way it's like horse-power. You say the horse power of your car is 40. You mean by tliat the maximum is 40. Yet at 10 miles an hour you are using probably less than 10 h. p. While at 20 miles an hour you are using about 17 or 18 h. p. And so on. 3400 r. p. m. is just another way of staling h> >rsepower. It’s the modern way. Because it shows [lower through supreme engine speed and not through large bore and stroke, which means a brute of an engine, and hence a vehicle of great weight The day of such a car has gone by. You and I want a light, spunky lieast that responds to the slightest touch of the accelerator, that pulverizes hills, that drives straight as a sunbeam, tliat has the lure in her lines, and obeys. , That's the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers. I’ve never had any person buy one and tell me she wasn’t there. For she is—100 per cent. Run in and I will show you a car tliat lias doubled my business. , Ask me about our service inspection coupons. They are negotiable with all Chalmers dealers everywhere. This system is a most important con­ sideration in buying your car. Maple Grove—Herbert Calking, Naah villa, 11. F. D. Orangeville— Dr. Geo. IL Hyde, Prairie\iik>. .......... Prates*viUo-r-H.

All black-tread Tires are NOT made of “BAREFOOT” Rubber HIS is to tell the People, that Goodrich “BARE­ FOOT-RUBBER” Valwe lies not in its COLOR but in its componlWM, It lies in the especially devised Texture, Flexibility, Cling-aualitv, Stretch, Lightness and Resilience of that “Barefoot Rubber” which, through years of Research, WE developed to match the marvellous Flexibility, Re­ silience and Power-conservation of our twodaycr-Cord “Silvertown” Tires. Color alone would have been little help in making “Silvertown” Treads stand-up in the tremendous EN­ DURANCE Tests which the IdO-Mile-per-hour-Races of 1915 provided. . And Color alone,—Black, White, Red, or Gray—can do little for the Consumer who buys a “Me-too” Black-Tread Tire. of imitated make, on the assumption that all Black­ Tread Tires are likely to be made of same materials. HE marvellous “Barefoot Rubber” now used In Goodrich FABRIC Tires (as well as in Good­ rich “ SilvcrtowM”) is black only because we elected that color, primarily for distinction and aAtueiation with our SILVERTOWN CORD Tires. When, therefore, the usual crop of “flattering” Imi­ tations sprouts upon the Market DON’T assume that OTHER Hlack-Tnad Tires have in them the “BARE­ FOOT-RUBBER” which made the enormous ENDUR­ ANCE of Silvertown Cord Tires possible in the IX) to 103 Milejier-hour Races of 1914-15. No Tires on the Market, Size for Size, and Type for Ty|>e. are LARGER than Goodrich, and none more gen­ erously good, at any price. “Barefoot Rubber” is now made into Goodrich FABRIC- Tires,—Goodrich “Silvertown Tired,”—Goodrich Inner Tubes,—Goodrich Truck Tires, — Goodrich Motor Cycle Tires.— Goodrich Bicycle Tires,—and Goodrich Rubber Boots.

When you buy French's White Lily Flour you get a product that is just as pure, clean and wholesome as it can be made. All the impurities are not only taken out of the grain, but all the dirt and "fuzz" are removed from the wheat. Every kernel is scoured and polished until nothing but the pure gram is left. . We have special patented machinery for doing this work, and you would be surprised at the large amount of dirt, filth and impurities that we take from grain that “looks clean" before we start it through our patented cleaning machinery. In a great majority of flouring mills where QUANT­ ITY of flour manufactured, rather than QUALITY, is con­ sidered. a lot of foul stuff is not only left IN the wheat, but a lot of dirt, ddst and filth is left ON the wheat kernels be­ cause jt takes a lot of time to CLEAN WHEAT RIGHT, and requires special machinery to do it. The result of it all is that whoever buys that kind of flour pays regular "flour prices" for this foul stuff that is ground up with the wheat and detracts from the,QUAL­ ITY of the flour. We feel that every person who uses French’s White Lily is entitled to a good, clean, pure product, and that is what we give them. We spent a good many thousands of dollars for the most modern equipment to provide our patrons with the VERY BEST FLOUR THAT CAN BE MADE. Good, pure flour is the most healthful and nourishing food product, and at the same time is the most economical that you can buy. When you buy French’s White Lily you KNOW what you are getting. You know that you are getting a CLEANER and BETTER flour, ahd one that is not touched by human hands from the time the wheat is dumped into our hoppers until the sack is delivered at your home. • If you are not particular about the flour you buy, thejn the care we exercise in cleaning the grain, and the sani­ tary methods we follow in manufacture from start to finish, may not appeal to you. But if you are particular, and desire the BEST PRODUCT at NO INCREASE IN PRICE, then French's White Lily offers inducements that no other brand of flour can approach. We’ve'been making French’s White Lily for more than 42 years. We’ve established a reputation for QUAL­ ITY, PURITY and CLEANLINESS that is a valuable as­ set to this business, and we cannot afford to do one single thing that would detract from that reputation. Every Grocer and Elevator man in Barry County handles French’s White Lily. Why not order a sack and give it a trial? One sack will convince you of its su­ perior QULITY and will make you a constant friend. The Middleville Roller Mills Michigan Middleville R. T.

And when­ ever the farmer goes in to buy any-kind of goods the first thing that he is told is that "there has been another advance." Now this thing has -been going on until we are all of us getting grouchy, and no wonder. But every cloud has its silver lining, and 1 am glad to announce there are at least a few things that you will need to buy that can still be bought at last year's pricesz 1 placed my order early la$t fall (before there had been any ad­ vance) for a full car of Red aqd Green Granite or Slate Roofing, Sanded As­ phalt, Silver Kote and Rubber Oid Roofings. And although roofing has advanced from 10 to 20 per cent in cost, I shall still sell at last year’s prices. Plows will also be sold at last year’s prices and by placing my order early I will be able to sell you the "Townsend Special" Litchfield Manure Spreader for the same as you paid for it last year. And I want to call your attention to the "Adriancfc” mowing ma­ chine which although the cost is $3.00 higher, I shall sell at the same price as last year. , Now here is a sample of what may be saved by calling at my store for some of these goods. A man was in my store this week, who had just bought shingles for his house. He saw iny Red Slate roofing and asked the price; and when I told him, he said this same roofing had been'priced to him (at another place) at 65 cents a roil or square higher than my price, and had he known he could have bought such roofing at my price he never would have bought the shingles. ’ Call at my store for any of the above goods and you may save the price of many.

This together with the further fact that this mill has many man­ ufacturing advantages, enable us to make the 'BEST FLOUR ON THE MARKET, and to sell it to you at a price no higher than you have to pay for just ordinary flour. Buying flour, with you just the same as with ev­ eryone else is a BUSINESS PROPOSITION. You don’t buy flour for sentimental reasons, or because it is enclosed in a pretty sack, or because it has a pretty YOU BUY FLOUR BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAI IT IS OF THE BEST QUALT1Y. That’s WHY.

The ONE THING that you want to be convinced of. before you buy flour is that IT WILL MAKE GOOD BREAD. PIES, CAKES AND PASTRIES, and ' that you ALWAYS DE- PEND UPON IT. The very FACT that have been making French’s White Lily Flour for more than 42 years, and that there ’ MORL of' it * sold ’ ’ in ’ Barry County COMBINED, is the today than of ALL OTHER, .OURS . best evidence that it hap MORE THAN “MADE GOOD,” and that it is a flour that the housewives of Barry County know that they can always depend upon. The manufacturing "advantages” possessed by this mill are exceptional, and all of them tend to enableua lite Lily, the HIGHEST QUALITY to sell French' FLOUR, at as low a price as you would pay for ordinary flour. For 30 years we’ve run night and day, year in and year out, enabling us to get a 24 HOUR PRODUCTION, at a trifle more than a 10-HOUR EXPENSE, and thereby cutting our operating expense practically in two. Own­ ing our water- power mill, lighting plant, and having a complete equipment of everything that is the latest and most-up-to-date in flour making machinery, are other ad­ vantages that this mill has, to aid us in putting the BEST FLOUR on the market at the VERY LOWEST PRICE. When you buy French’s White Lily there is ab­ solutely NO WASTE. You use every particle of it. You have no poor bakings to throw away. You are going to try French’s White I^ily sooner or later.

This refers to plow points, mouldboards, landsides, stand­ ards, and other parts that go to make up an Oliver plow made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Works, South Bend, Indiana. There is a vast difference between the genuine and imita­ tion parts. We cite plow points as one example. Die reason why the Oliver Chilled Plow Works do not polish their plow points like a mirror is because the point does not need polishing. The rough surface is the hardest part of the Duint, making it wear longer than it would if this were polished away. .......... Olivera spend their money to make the points do llie busi­ ness and not for appearances. Bear in mind that you are getting better wear and more service for your money in genuine Oliver points. Genuine Oliver repair parts fit better, wear longer, make the plow run easier and do a better job of plowing. When you buy Oliver ' repair parts, insist upon see­ ing the name “Oliver” and ’ this trade mark cast in every , piece you buy. We sell nothing but tho genuine Oliver repair parts. Goodyear Bros.

Plug Tobaccos That are Just Moist Enough When you buy "FINE CUT," or "PLUG" Tobacco you'want it “just right.” If it’s "PLUG” Tobacco, you don’t want it all’“dried out,” and so hard that you could scarcely cut it with an ax. If it’s “Fine Cut” you don’t want it so dry that it “powders” up like snuff. You do want GOOD VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY — and YOU ARE ENTITLED TO IT. The great objection to buying Tobaccos at the ordi­ nary stores is that they DO NOT make an “EXCLUSIVE BUSINESS" of it as we do, and are not properly equipped to look after it, as we are. For instance they will open a box of Plug Tobacco, put it on their open shelves and leave it exposed to qjl the dust, dirt and filth that comes from "sweeping out" the store, or clouds of dust whirled around by the wind. Boxes of cigars or packages of Tobacco will be opened and left on an open ledge, or in cases without moisture. They can’t help but “DRY OUT." We are equipped for DOING a TOBACCO BUSI­ NESS EXCLUSIVELY. We have Zinc-lined, air-tight cases that are always kept just moist enough by an “Electric Hum­ idor.” It keeps the temperature at just the right degree—never too moist, never too dry. When you buy Tobaccos, or Cigars here you AL­ WAYS will find them just moist enough. You will find them of the BEST QUALITY for your money. . Call and make us "prove it."

Do you get this? Does it mean to you what we want it to mean— does it mean that when you buy French's White Lily Flour, you can wager your last penny that you are GETTING YOUR MONEY’S WORTH—and a LOT MORE, rather than a little less?

When you buy a sack of French’s White Lily, don’t want you to be obliged to pay for a cent’s worth that isn’t what you think it should be, when measured by French’s White Lily QUALITY. Mistakes will occur in every business. We may slip sometime. Something may pass our eagle eyes that really isn’t up to our stand­ ard of excellence—and that's the reason we GUARANTEE every SACK of French's White Lily Flour that is made—we want to protect YOU and all of our other cus­ tomers. If you should ever find that we have erred, then is your opportunity to put our guarantee to the acid test —your chance to’know that the Middleville Roller Mills mean exactly what it says—plus. We merely want you to know that when you buy French’s White Lily Flour you buy a guaranteed flour, and that the guarantee stands for something. If you have never tried French's White Lily Flour, why not order a trial sack TODAY?

It is an advantage to meat buyers to KNOW they have a market within reach where meats are PROPERLY KEPT, PROPERLY DRESSED and PROPERLY CURED. These are our especial pride. THERE IS NO MORE SANITARY OR PROPERLY APPOINTED MEAT MARKET IN BARRY COUNTY THAN OURS. Fresh, Salt and Smoked Meats, Fish and Oysters In Season. Bird Meats Our Specialty. You Get First Class Service From Us Either by Phone or in Person. -------- We Know How—-----Knowledge of stock is one of the first and most es­ sential qualifications of any good meat man. We, through our. long experience with and thorough study of stock, are enabled to select the best grade for tender, juicy meats. We can tell through our acquired knowledge whether an animal is in proper condition for the slaughter or not. We DO NOT accept any stock for our market that is not known to be in perfect condition—properly cared for and cleanly fed. We take especial care that no head of stock enters our yards unless it is in absolute health. We know how to butcher. Every animal killed for our market is butchered by skilled men and no BOTCH job ever goes over our counter. • SERG’T ENGELHARDT PROBABLY IN MEXICO | COURTHOUSE NEWS Last Word Received From Him Said His Regiment Was Ready to March.

There is no meat market in Central Michigan better fitted for curing and keeping meats free from all dirt and infection than our’s. A very large out­ lay has been used in fitting it as it should be. Every de­ partment is kept absolutely clean and sanitary. In the market we have a very large cooler, commodious and clean wherq all meats are allowed to cure. This is the largest cooler in Barry Co. Our slaughter house is roomy and clean and there, too, we have every appliance for doing proper sanitary butchering. We especially invite you to visit our different departments at any time when it may be convenient for you.

Straight to the heart goes this story of Little Sir Galahad Money Invested In Fertilizer Returns WE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY ON FERTILIZER By PHOEBE GRAY It is a temperance story for your neigh, bors, for your children, for YOU, and you will know and love its people as you love your own. Sound Living and Right Thinking With Total J If you want land to raise a big crop you must first see that the soil is rich. It will pay you to make your land rich by using fertilizer. THERE IS NOTHING SO EXPENSIVE AS A POOR CROP. We Have a Half-Car Load of Homestead Fertilizer Which we Bought Before the Advance Came in Price and We will Sell at Last Year’s Prices— Come Early Before it is All Gone. > Agricultural writers agree that the most important substances taken from the soil by continued cropping are phosporic acid, nitrogen and potash. A fertilizer which contributes these things to the soil is the the most satisfac­ tory to use—That is the reason we sell HOMESTEAD FERTILIZERS. We again urge you to take advantage of this offer we make on Home­ stead Fertilizer. ’ Unsound Living and Wrong Thinking With Liquor Drinking Charlie Thomas, the boy. cripple, is the pole star of the story. To him and about him come and revolve the men and women who are benefited by his living, his loving quest of the Holy Grail. And the only shadow in the tale is the one that we all know and hope soon to see lifted. The farmer that does not properly fertilize his land, wastes his crop and labor and does not realize full compensation on his investment, thus hurting his best interests.

The “Silvertown” Tire, you know, gains its marvel­ lous Speed (and the Coasting qualities that demonstrate its Speed) primarily through having only TWO layers ot Cords, laid transversely. Of course, these TWO hvers bend more readily than Five. Six, or Seven Layers of Fabric do (or of Cord would). But, we found it necesaary, in order to conserve that flexibility (in tho Two-cord construction), to put a Rubber Tread over it which was (./'.tally ilctible, —equally strong,— end elastic mough to act cs ?. fort of rpring between the Earth and tha Tire-ca: :ng. when Dml-.cs were thrown on at stopping, or dutch ii in r.t starting.

For years we have paid a bonus to farmers for all good wheat delivered to our mill, which testi OVER 60 POUNDS TO THfc BUSHEL. In this way we get the very CHOICEST QUALITY of grain. We have paid out thousands of dollars in bonuses in this way. It encourages farmers to raise BETTER WHEAT, and there are many who for years have been growing wheat ESPECIALLY for us. By carefully selecting their seed, and care in the preparation of the soil, they grow wheat that invariably TESTS OVER 60 POUNDS to the bushel, and get an extra price for it. ’ White Lily Flour used in Barry Cdunty than of all other flours combined. Every Grocer and Elevator handles it, and it is sold to you upon the positive GUARANTEE that it will PLEASE YOU. You will find our guarantee printed on EVERY SACK, Have you ever thought that IF you should buy a sack of flour, made by some mill way off in some other state, YOU would have to PAY THE FREIGHT on the wheat from which it is made, from Michigan to the place where the flour is manufactured? Then, too, you again have to PAY THE FREIGHT on the FLOUR from the place where it is made, to the town WHERE YOU BUY IT? This policy, which we have followed for years, makes it a nice thing for the farmer, and is a good one for this mill because it assures us an ample supply of the VERY BEST Michigan wheat grown—and that's what French’s White Lily Flour is made from. From this you ran see WHY it will be MORE ECONOMICAL FOR YOU to buy French's White Lily Flour and SAVE THOSE TWO FREIGHT CHARGES, and possibly a commission or two from some middle- Michigan wheat makes the BEST FLOUR and for that reason com­ mands the HIGHEST PRICE in the markets, as everyone knows who is fa­ miliar with the wheat market. Flouring mills all over the country like to get Michigan wheat to make flour from. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour you pay a LOWER PRICE than you would pay for a flour made in some other state, and made from Michigan wheat thpt has to be shipped In. Thus, with the very BEST wheat that is grown; with water power; with the best new milling equipment that money can buy; with a record of OVER 40 YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL milling experience, you can't buy a flour anywhere that compares with it. That’s why there is more French’s We like to have people make a batch of dough from French's White Lily and a batch from any other flour claimed to be “just as good." Put the loaves into an oven side by side, and bake them at the same time. You'll, even think more of french's White Lily Flour than ever before.

Without risk try the paint-we give you free when you or­ der enough for your house. Examine this paint while it is in the can. See how uniform it ia no grain, no lumps for you to pay fop , Sec how this paint hides the under-surface with one stroke of the brush—what body it has—how much more reduction it will take—how easy it works—how far it goes—how smooth it dries. Make any test you know—side by side with any other paint then decide to keep the rest or telephone us to take the paint away and return your money. The ninety feet you have tried will not cost you one penny.. But we tell you right now you will use it all. This is the Time to Buy Beds Right at this season is the very best time to buy beds—when our stock is full and com­ plete for your selection. Above, for example, we show one of the beautiful new Simmons Steel Beds as adver­ tised in the Ladies' Home 'Journal and Satur­ day Evening Post. Come in and let us show you the full line, |OUR PRICE ON THIS BED IS ONLY $7.50 and prices on others are equally moderate. They are the famous light-weight, electri­ cally welded steel about which you have been reading. There is not a nut or bolt in the whole bed to rattle loose. And the finishes are beau­ tiful. The quality of our merchandise is the best that human skill and ingenuity can produce; our enormous buying power lowers the prices to the point where they cannot fail to interest even the most experienced buyers. Let us prove to you that we can and do sell you the greatest home furnishing values at prices no other concern can equal.

Our Wall Paper Trade indicates many housewives are making a thorough job of it and are adding that cozy air, freshness and artistic new appearance, which appro­ priate patterns of Wall Paper lend. While the subject is Wall Paper, we wish to say: we still have a good stock of the most up-to-date patterns. . We find also, after a mid-season inventory, there are quite a number of remnants, some of these are in the latest patterns. To close these out we will sell them while they last at way down prices.

Seneca CAMERAS 1c to 25c ROBLIN’S Next to Hastings National Bank �The Hastings Banner Part Three 20 Pages How Much Money Do You Save ? Here Are Some Facts and Figures That Every Man and Woman Should Ponder Carefully ers his youth in riotous living, expecting CHANCE, or LUCK, to bring him a fortune later in life, should study these figures until he LEARNS that he has JUST NINE CHANCES IN 100 to ever accumulate $5,000, or more, and that if he is to be one of the FORTUNATE ones he MUST BEGIN EARLY to For the young man who thinks it is a "manly" thing to SPEND MON­ EY FREELY, who "sneers" at the thrfty person as "stingy" and "mean." here are a few FACTS that he may digest with profit. 1ST—66 OUT OF EVERY 100 PERSONS DYING IN THIS COUNTRY LEAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ESTATE. 2ND—OF THE REMAINING 34 PERSONS. 25 NEVER ACCUMULATE MORE THAN $1,300 IN THEIR LIFE TIME. AND DIE WITH LESS THAN THAT AMOUNT. 3RD—ONLY 9 PERSONS IN 100 HAVE MORE THAN $5,000 WHEN THEY DIE. 4TH—ONLY 2 PERSONS IN 100 MAY BE CLASSED AS "WELL-TODO." THE OTHER 98 HAVE ONLY THEIR WAGES FROM DAY TO DAY, OR ARE DEPENDENT UPON RELATIVES OR UPON CHARITY. 5TH—OF EVERY 100 PERSONS WHO REACH THE AGE OF 65, NO FEWER THAN 97 ARE PARTLY OR WHOLLY DEPENDENT UPON RELATIVES, FRIENDS, OR CHARITY. FOR FOOD, CLOTHING" AND SHELTER. These facts and figures are not mere estimates. They are taken from Government Census Statistics, and are arranged and given out by the Ameri­ can Society for Thrift, a society organized by some representative business men, who see a REAL DANGER to our Nation in the American tendency to ‘‘wastefulness.” It will be seen from these figures that THRIFT is a virtue that NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT TO YOUNG PEOPLE. The boy who squand- save. If you are a young man, earning a good salary, and spending your money as fast as you make it, just study these FACTS and you can quickly tell where you’ll “get off at.” If you are "WISE” you’ll lay aside a good portion of your earnings each WEEK, and deposit it in the "SAVINGS DEPARTMENT" of this Bank, as a good many young men are now doing, On all the deposits you make we will pay you 3 per cent interest, and COMPOUND THE INTEREST TWICE EACH YEAR. Thus your money wjll WORK FOR YOU every hour, day and night, and you will be surprised HOW YOUR MONEY WILL GROW. It is the presistent money "Saver” that gets "to the front,” the fellow who saves year after year and KEEPS AT IT. He's the fellow who "has the ready money” when "Opportunity” knocks; he'll be one of the "two fellows out of every 100, who will get in the "well - to - dp" class, and will STAY THERE, because the SAVING "HABIT" acquired in his early years will have taught him HOW to look after the money he has saved, little by little. Do you need any more convincing facts than these related above from the Government Census Statistics? If not. why not form your SAVING "HABIT" now, and commence at once. Only ONE DOLLAR is necessary to open an account. • HASTINGS CITY BANK PHONE 3 The Bank That Does Things For You Fire Fund. Bal.

Real Estate rold on tMptmiaribn. General When you go into any establishment, and pay your good money for commodities of any kind, you are only human in wanting SERVICE in addition to the goods you buy. And if you don’t get that "Service” the chances are that you won’t go back with your ’’repeat or­ ders,” no matter what the quality you get. That’s the way with all of us. We don’t like to spend our money, where we feel that we are not personally appreciated. True, we Ynay get just as good merchandise in the store where we receive "snippy” treatment, as in the one where the proprietor and his clerks are* all the good-natured, anxious-to-please sort of fellows, but we all know which store will get our business when we want to buy anything. Now we do not intend to lose the good will of any customer, or anyone else, through failure to give that thing which costs so little, but means so much—SERVICE. We’ll go out of our way any time, day or night, to render it, and we’ll do even MORE than we think is necessary in the way of service in order to be sure that we do enough. Whenever you have an order that needs extra special attention, just say the word and it will get it. When you want something a little out of the ordinary, don’t hesitate to ask us for it. and if it is within our power to give it, you shall have it. And remember that when­ ever anything goes out from this elevator it must be RIGHT—that’s a part of the Edmonds Bros, service, If it isn't right WE WANT TO KNOW IT; we’ll make it right—that’s an­ other part of the Edmonds Bros. Service.

Prices are daily advancing on regular iperchandise. The scarcity of linens, woolens, silks, dye stuffs and many other vital factors are responsible for the rapid and consistent increases in costs in all lines, and the end is not yet. This is a most unusual predicament in the history of this country. It is certain that low prices will not prevail again for many months and perhaps years. A little foresight now will pay you big dividends in savings.

A. L. Gilbert. Onmile out N. Broadway. Citi*oiphone 4SM B. Iwk •Ming A good many people get the idea that they could "do better" somewhere else. The man who owned 40 acres over in South Africa, dreaming of wealth, felt that he could "do better" by giving to another part ,of the country. He sold his 40 acres only to see it later become the richest part of the great Kimberly Diamond Mines, worth untold millions. It’s a fact that people very often know the least about the things that are right under their noses. A man who sold his farm to go hunting for petro­ leum, used to regularly skim the scum off a cattle pond so that his cows would drink the water. He never dream­ ed that right underneath him was one of the richest oil wells in existence. And so it goes. Some people have an idea that be­ cause they buy flour that’s made in another state, that they are getting a better flour value. But are they? Let’s see. The BEST flour that those mills make is made from Michigan-grown wheat. They have to pay the freight on that wheat from Michigan to where their mill is located, then they have to PAY THE FREIGHT on the flour back. When you buy that brand of flour YOU HAVE TO PAY THAT EXTRA’FREIGHT both ways. When it comes to a ipletely equipped mill, you won't find a better one in the country than ours, and very, very few as good. You may find larger mills, but you will not find a better equipped one. More than that, we doubt whether you will find one that runs as steadily as we do. For 30 years we have run this big mill night and day, which not only practically cuts our operating expenses in two, but it guarantees the smoothest and best QUALITY. There isn't a better flour made than French's White Lily, no matter where it comes from. You would have to pay MORE MONEY for flour that is NOT AS GOOD, made in another state. When it comes to flour you CAN'T do better by buying a brand made in some other state, because you’ll not.only have to pay the freight both ways, but you would have to pay still more on the operating expense. There is more French’s White Lily used in Barry County than of all other flours combined. But, are YOU one of them? Don’t be like the oil-man and overlook the BEST value, just because it is so close to you. Try French’s White Lily once and you’ll never be without it. It’s th$ best and most economical flour you can use. Every Grocer and Elevator man handles it, and every sack is guaranteed to you.

Hotjngi Drug Company • • Ha.ting., Mich., MhhWil ALL C COLORS 0 �The Hastings Banner Part Three 20 Pages How Much Money Do You Save ?_ Here Are Some Facts and Figures That Every Man and Woman Should Ponder Carefully For the young man who thinks it is a "manly" thing to SPEND MON­ EY FREELY, who "sheers" at the thrfty person as "stingy” and "mean," here are a few FACTS that he may digest with profit. 1ST—66 OUT OF EVERY 100 PERSONS DYING IN THIS COUNTRY LEAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ESTATE. 2ND—OF THE REMAINING 34 PERSONS. 25 NEVER ACCUMULATE MORE THAN $1,300 IN THEIR LIFE TIME, AND DIE WITH LESS THAN THAT AMOUNT. 3RD—ONLY 9 PERSONS IN 100 HAVE MORE THAN $5,000 WHEN THEY DIE 4TH—ONLY 2 PERSONS IN 100 MAY BE CLASSED AS "WELL-TODO." THE OTHER 96 HAVE ONLY THEIR WAGES FROM DAY TO DAY, OR ARE DEPENDENT UPON RELATIVES OR UPON CHARITY. 5TH—OF EVERY 100 PERSONS WHO REACH THE AGE OF 65. NO FEWER THAN 97 ARE PARTLY OR WHOLLY DEPENDENT UPON RELATIVES. FRIENDS, OR CHARITY. FOR FOOD. CLOTHING AND SHELTER. . These facts and figures are not mere estimates. They are taken from Government Census Statistics, antfare arranged and given out by the Ameri­ can Society for Thrift, a society organized by some representative business men, who see a REAL DANGER to our Nation in the American tendency to "wastefulness.” It will be seen from these figures that THRIFT is a virtue that NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT TO YOUNG PEOPLE. The boy who squand­ ers his youth in riotous living, expecting CHANCE, or LUCK, to bring him a fortune later in life, should study these figures until he LEARNS that he has JUST NINE CHANCES IN 100 to ever accumulate $5,000. or more, and that if heis to be one of the FORTUNATE ones he MUST BEGIN EARLY to save. If you are a young man, earning a good salary, and spending your money as fast as you make it, just study these FACTS and you can quickly tell whereyou’ll “get off at.” If you are "WISE” you’ll lay aside a good portion of your earnings each WEEK, and deposit it in the "SAVINGS DEPARTMENT" of this Bank, as a good many young men are now doing, On all the deposits you make we will pay you 3 per cent interest, and COMPOUND THE INTEREST TWICE EACH YEAR. Thus your money will WORK FOR YOU every hour, day and night, and you will be surprised HOW YOUR MONEY WILL GROW. I It is the presistent money “Saver” that gets "to the front," the fellow who saves year after year and KEEPS AT IT. He’s the fellow who "has the ready money" when “Opportunity" knocks; he’ll be one of the "two fellows out of every 100, who will get in the "well - to - do" class, and will STAY f THERE, because the SAVING "HABIT" acquired in his early years will have taught him HOW to look after the money he has saved, little by little. Do you need any more convincing facts than these related above from the Government Census Statistics? If not, why not form your SAVING "HABIT” now, and commence at once. Only ONE DOLLAR is necessary to open an account. ' «... HASTINGS CITY BANK PHONE 3 Chance Tor Barry Co. Athletes.

And if you don’t get that "Service” the chances are that you won’t go^ack with your "repeat or­ ders,” no matter what the quality you get. That’s the way with all of us. We don't like to spend our money, where we feel that we are not personally appreciated. True, we may get just as good merchandise in the store where we receive ‘ snippy” treatment, as in the one whqre the proprietor and his clerks are all the good-natured, anxious-to-please sort of fellows, but we all know which store will get our business when we want to buy anything. Now we do not intend to lose the good will of any customer, or anyone else,, through failure to give that thing which costs so little, but means so much—SERVICE. We'll go out of our way any time, day or night, to render it, and we’ll do even MORE than we think is necessary in the way of service m order to be sure that we do enough. Whenever you have an order that needs extra special attention, just say the word and it will get it. When you want something a little out of the ordinary, don’t hesitate to ask us fbr it, and if it is within our power to give it, you shall have it.

Culgrova & Potter, Areal — Guarantee To be more than a mere "serai Taper," a guarantec must be absolute—and back iy a concern able and willing to make it good. The General’s guarantee is not only absolute; it is bneked by a business operating the world’s largest roofing milk,and makingonc-third of all the roll roof­ ing made in America. That’s the guarantee behind Certain-teed Roofing The guarantee is for 5,10 or 15 years, according to ply (1,2 or 3). There is no evasion about it—no attempt to sub­ stitute a high-sounding•onicthing“]ustaagood." Thersis no substitute for a real guarantee. I ou get an absolute guaran­ tee on CERTAIN-TEED because the General knows that no better roofing can l>e made. Its raw materials and method of manufacture arc both certified by the General's board of graduate chemists, and he knows he’s taking" no chance in guaranteeing them to you. That’s what "CERTAINi'EED” means—and purnnitrd. Experience has proven that the guarantee is conservative, and that CER­ TAIN-TEED will outlast the period of guarantee. . ] The roofing felt, as it comes bone Ury from the rollers, is S’ven a thorough saturation of a special blend of soft asphalts, e formula of the General's board of expert chemists. It is then given a harder coating of another blend of asphalts. This keeps the inner saturation soft, and prevents the dry­ ing-out process so destructive to ordinary roofing. Roofing is impervious to the dements only so long as the asphalt saturation lasts. CERTAIN-TEED retains its soft satura­ tion, and is in good condition for years after the harder, drier kinds have become useless. CERTAIN-TEED*! made in roH«: also in slate-covered shingles. There is a type of CERTAIN-TEED for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest iky-scrapcr to the small­ est residence or out-building. . CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dealers all over the world, st reasonable prices. Invcsti^ata it before you decidf on any type of roqf.

With our army in Mexico, where some soldier lives have already been give up and the shadow of the European conflict lying coniinmuisly upon the land, the question of preparing fur national dtnense and at the same time invoking peace in Euro|»c is one which confronts every thinking citizen. In his Memorial Day proclamation Governor Ferris very fit­ tingly sayk in part: •’At this hour the great European nations are engaged in deadly conflict. History fails to record any other war of like magni­ tude and ferocity. Human imagination utterly fails to appreciate the agony of the millions of mothers and children whose wishes were never consulted. Millions of human lives have been ruthlessly sac­ rificed, to say nothing of the widespread destruction of property. Chaos has been substituted for order: hate and revenge.dominate the minds of the contesting rulers of these great nations. Death is their watchword. "In the United States peace reigns. This great nation is fearlessly conserving the faith and loyalty of its people. Our watch­ words are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. At this hour we look lo our last awful sacrifice up^n the altar of liberty, t In May thirtieth the remnant of the Grapd Army of the Republic, together with one hundred million freemen, will pay tribute to the living and the <lead. “May the democracy of our beloved nation in this hour of world peril fearlessly and successfully point the way to universal peace. The regenerating need of Europe and of the, whole civilized world is deiiUK'racy and more ilemocracy." ’ At nine oYlock in the morning the members of the Post ami Corps, the Spanish-War Veterans and the Daughter* of Wterans will proceed to the cemeteries and decorate the graves. At lhe lot owned by Fitzgerald Post, the usual ritualistic services will be read. Kucnzel’s Military Band will furnish music.

When a housewife praises any flour it means something and when they say: “We like Dictator much better than lhe flour we used so many years," it means something more. All we ask of you is a trial.

It’s better than ever before. It don’t cost you any more, and every sack is guaranteed. We have an equipment of the very latest models of machinery. We run night and day, year in and year out, and never permit our machinery to “cool off,’’ which throws it out of proper adjustment. ten links. Finder pirn pANNEKOfti-s. Seriate—h r “Fad If you will use French’s White Lily Flour, properly knead your dough, and use just good, plain, ordinary com­ mon sense in baking it, you will find your loaves perfectly even-grained. The air-cells will be uniform, and almost as mathematically exact as the cells of bees honeycomb. It won’t be thick and heavy in places, and large holes in others, as is the case with improperly milled flour, and that’s just the kind of flour you get in any mill with an old equipment, or in any mill that runs only a few hours each day and then stops. In about nine cases out of ten the whole trouble is with the flour. It isn’t cleaned thoroughly, and it isn’t rolled properly. You can’t make good flour by simply "mashing” it between clumsy stones, nor worn-out iron rolls. But if you go into most of the mills, you will find that kind of an equipment. French’s White Lily Flour is put through a “series” of rolls, and they are not just common iron rolls. They are made of specially constructed chilled iron, which revolve rapidly against each other in opposite directions. This makes every particle of French’s White Lily Flour the same shape and size and is called “even granula­ tion.” Being of the same size, the space between them is even. The yeast works all through it evenly. You won’t find a great big bunch of flour with no yeast, and other spots heavy and soggy, with-an over-abundance of yeast. That’s why, when you use French's White Lily your bread is always sure to rise. And when the loaves are baked they will be eVenly-grained, wholesome loaves— never heavy or soggy when properly kneaded and baked. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville Michigan R- T.

Our grandfathers learned business painstakingly, laboriously, bit by bit. The average man's field of activity was usually limited to his townshin or at most to his county. ' Today the man who handles business problems has another sort of riddle to solve. We have our great factories—each with a thousand kinds of machines and operators. We have our modern office# with their cash registers, adding machines, comptometers, dictaphones, accountants, advertising and sales experts, financial men, legal departments, etc. Your experience nor my experience—the experience of no one man can reach all of these special activities. TO COME OUT BIG YOU MUST KNOW YOUR LINE OF WORK—YOUR BUSINESS-LIKE YOU KNOW YOUR WAY HOME. This thoroughness can only be brought about by careful analytical study and efficient training. There arc schools in every section of the country that are devoted to thorough instruction along given lines. WE HAVE A SCHOOL DEVOTED TO THE STUDY OF SCIENTIFIC BUSINESS. THE METHODS WHICH WE PURSUE AT THIS SCHOOL INSURE A COMPREHENSIVE GRASP OF THE DETAILS OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. WE DO NOT CONFINE OURSELVES TO THE MERE TEACHING OF BOOK­ KEEPING. SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITING—WE GIVE TO OUR STUDENTS A AND COMPREHENSIVE KNOW- BROAD LEDGEjSO THAT WHEN THEY GO OUT IN THE WORLD TO k ; n: WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.

NOTHING CAN SPEAK MORE CONVINCING OR MORE FORCEFULLY THAN WORDS OUR STUDENTS THEMSELVES. READ WHAT THEY SAY:— One of our young women. Miss Mildred Miller from Marshall, wrote me recently like this— "The work I am doing includes shorthand and typewriting, so you sec I am making use of the knowledge I gained in school, and let me also say that I consider the reputation of your school and its graduated students to be one of the most important reasons for my obtaining such a position." We have just placed one of our young women, Miss Merle Holmes, as private secretary and stenographer to Grant M. Hudson, at Lansing. She re­ ports that she is getting along splendid­ ly, and that the future looks good to her. I have another letter dated last week from Mr. Lawler, private secre­ tary to the sales manager of the Burt Portland Cement Company, at Belle­ vue. A few extracts from his letter read like this: “I want to again express my grati­ tude for your many courtesies."—and this: "I am getting a large number of letters a day, all pertaining to sates. I am getting them out and other work done so that I have lots of time to go after other things that are instructive. I would be glad for any suggestions as to good book^ similar to the one which you recommended before and which proved worth many hundred times its cost." W. C. Harris, now of the Postum Cereal Company writes me, dated May 8, like this:— x FROM “I have to use the adding machine a great deal and find that what you taught me permits me to get my work out a great deal quicker than those who have not had this excellent training. There is no doubt in my mind that the MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NOR­ MAL COLLEGE is the best school to attend in order to become a contender for the top round of success." Mr. Harris also says:— "Another valuable bit of MICHI­ GAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE work is the Service De­ partment. I could never have secured this excellent position without your aid, and I believe that placing your 'students as you do is one of the most Important parts of the school." Among those people whom we have recently placed in good positions might be named the following: Miss Leona Miller, stenographer-bookkeeper with R. J. I! Spaulding. Real Estate and Insurance. - |i Miss Jessie Bucklin, bookkeeper with Grand Trunk Rail­ way System. Miss Merle Holmes, private secretary to Grant M. Hud­ son, Lansing. Miss Viola Giddings, stenographer with City Bank. Miss Martha Pierson, stenographer with City Bank. Miss Nellie Bivens, stenographer with Battle Creek Moon- i. Journal. Daniel Began, stenographer-bookkeeper with Snyder & Son, Battle Creek. Mias Margaret Abbey, stenographer with O. G. Morrell, L Ann Arbor. Glare Sherman, bookkeeper, Coat keeping Dept, Morgan I & Wright, Detroit. Miss Edith Midgley, stenographer-bookkeeper with Grand Trunk Railway System.

It is "INTEGRITY!” Because, that term embodies Good-faith,—Depend­ ability—the Intention to play fair, at any cost, as well as good Service. Its essence, so far as business is concerned, \ I* consists in living-up to the last letter of that Americanism, \ : —“The Square Deal." \ It demands from its practitioners not only a duo \ respect for tbe Rights of Others (whether they be strong t <■ i .enough to enforce these Rights, or weak enough to be at \ \ the mercy of the strong) but goes further. X\ It implies a charitable attitude toward those well­ meaning persons who see "Rainbows," and who cannot > live up to promises they really intended to keep. X\ An old-fashioned Virtue is this “Business Integrity," —sometimes crowded close to tho Wall by that modem u idolatry called ’ 'Business-Expediency." 'i But,—there being something MORE than Money, v . worth striving for, in Business-Expansion, (as well as rldoney) this old-fashioned Virtue lives on. thrives and flour% ashes, in many quarters, like the I’olk-Son£3 of a Nai'cn । \ that never die. \ ' May we here pay tribute to “BUSINESS-INTEG» RITY," wherever it abides, and,—with all due modesty,— • CLAIM it as the Watch-word which has ruled Goodrich Activities over 47 years of Rubber Manufacturing, Selling, T \ and DELIVERING? k 4 < I/aVTA UT.—does thia Policy of Business-Integrity Al ’ ’ Wg-< pay, in Dollars and Cents?” the Cynic may 1 l "JLJ inquire.

Freight, from this Goodrich Factory, in addition to tho • ., 10,000,000 pounds manufactured and shipped by Express, \ from same Factory during same iieriod. , Contrast tills Goodrich Rubber Goods Output, with \the total Imports of Crude Rubber into the entire United States, during 1915,—viz:—172.068,428 pounds,—and the total WORLD Consumption of Crude-Rubber for same v year, —viz:—142,000 Tons, or 284.000.000 pounds ! Then, who shall question that the Goodrich Watch­ word and Policy, of "INTEGRITY FIRST" pays, even in ' material Results. ■ ■ —This, exclusive of tho Good-will, Prestige, and Public Confidence that flows from 47 years consistent practice of such n Policy, which may well be worth as much more, in personal satisfaction, to each Goodrich Stockholder, each enthusiastic Officer, and each loyal Employee of the B. F. Goodrich Co. But, "How does this Concern YOU, the Consumer?"—you now a£k. It concerns you, first of all, as a proof that Square-dealing, Straight-thinking, — and Businessdntegrity PAYS,—even in Coin of the Realm. It concerns each Parent,—and the Son and Daughter of each Parent, —as a vivid demonstration of the fact that the modem god of "Expediency," ir, a false god,—and that all the brilliant feats, and dexterous manipulation of facts, which pass current aa “Expediency" are needless, for permanent Success. ' It concerns the Consumer of, or the Dealer in. Rubber Goods because ho knows that, in dealing with a House of Integrity he can TRUST the Statements, the Products and Trade-Marks, .of such a House, implicitly,—can save Time and Trouble and can abandon that costly and unpleasant Watchfulness which is necessarily involved in buying anything under the old Law of Caveat Emptor, (let the Buyer beware). Goodrich “Barefoot” Tires IGHT in weight, and close grained,—because relatively free from inert substances or • "fillers" that give excess Weight to Rubber, ac the expense of Liveliness, Springiness and Endurance.

Hastings ( • — - Mich; FLOUR Helps To Build Up Strong Bodies and Minds a pp>? You want the BEST FOOD for your family. There is nothing healthier than good, pure, wholesome bread and butter. There’s nothing better. It would be better for the children if all rich pastries and “knick knacks” were cut out, and let them “grow up” on good, pure bread and butter. They would have stronger and more rugged constitutions, with which to begin the battle of life. , Better cut out all the rich food. Give the boy all the good, pure, rich, brown-crusted bread, made from French’s White Lily Flour, that he will eat. It contains just the elements that his body needs, and will assist nature in developing a strong physique and a strong mind. No mat­ ter how brilliant a mind a young man may have, no matter what his attainments, if he hasn’t the strength to back up his mental endowments, the chances are that he’ll “go to pieces” when the test comes. It has been demonstrated that WHAT WE ARE, depends very largely upon the kind of food we eat. Way back in the early days, the old pioneers lived upon the coarser and more substantial foods, and a healthier, hard­ ier people never lived. No task was too severe for them, no project too hard to tackle. There is no more pitiful sight than to see a young person, intellectually strong, but with a frail body, brought about, much of it by improper food. You can’t bring up a strong, healthy boy on heavily f rosted cake, rich pies, and highly seasoned knick knacks. When you buy flour for your family, why not exer­ cise the same care that you would in buying shoes or clothing? There’s just much difference in the QUAEITY of flour as there ‘ any other commodity, dependthe kind of materials used, and the way ing enlitirely _ upon a in which ' ’ it 'is made. " Why not investigate and get the BEST for your money? French’s White Lily Flodr doesn’t more than ordinary brands of flour, but it whole lot BE T! ER, because we take a lot more pains in the manu­ facture of it. We go to a much greater expense making it. We put the grain through THREE TIMES as many sets of rolls as the ordinary mills use. Our process ex­ tracts every particle of “flour goodness” from the wheat, and reduces the flour to a smooth, even granulation, so that it absorbs the water and yeast perfectly. That’s why bread, cakes and pastries made from French’s White Lily are always baked so evenly. When you use French’s White Lily you CUT DOWN YOUR LIVING EXPENSES, because you never have any spoiled bakings to be thrown away. Spoiled bakings not only are an actual money loss, but they repre­ sent a lot of time and hard work WASTED. If you are not using French’s White Lily Flour in your home, why not give it a thorough trial? That's all that is necessary to CONVINCE YOU that it is the BEST flour made; that it is the lowest price flour you can buy, QUALITY considered; that it will solve your baking troubles. Your Grocer sells French's White Lily—so does every Elevator man. Why not order a sack' TQDAY?

The man who TENDS HIS CROPS—WINS OUT. The man who plants his corn and then lets it take care of itself, will soon find himself out of the race. Modem improvements in machinery have come to aid the farm­ er in producing better and greater crops, and the up-to-date farmers—the oqes who make the most of their farms and get the greatest profits—are in­ vesting in these new machines, one of which is the New Elk Jr. Automatic Cu Itivatdr.

Don’t trust yourself with the income of a business, until you have shown the CAPACITY to handle the IN­ COME of a JOB, and tq SAVE MONEY out of ANY INCOME. THE ONLY WAY to DEVELOP this capacity ia to start a SAVINGS ACCOUNT, and to keep it ALIVE and GROWING. Possibly you can borrow the capital to start. But DON’T borrow your first capital—SAV.E IT. For in the act of SAVING you will GAIN MORE than the capi­ ta] itaelf. You will gain the CONFIDENCE of a Banker, which every business man should have when he starts. You will gain the CONFIDENCE of YOURSELF —faith in your own ability to CONSERVE, which is the first principle of successful management. You might too be able to borrow money to start in business, and start off with a good volume of sales. At the end of the first month you would find yourself in the possession of several times as much REAL CASJ-I as you ever had AT ONE TIME. It ia THEN that you would find yourself set upon by a WHOLE FLOOD OF IMPULSES TO SPEND MONEY. If you would still live as you did BEFORE TAMING A PARTRIDGE । Isa F.

Every time the Brakes are put on. to make such Tirea (Trip the road, the relatively hard, unyielding, and compar­ atively brittle, texture of the Rubber in their Trenda causes these Treads to grind away on the pavement, to WEAR OUT fast at the point ofcontact,’ ' The sudden efficiency of their grinding-Traction also tugs so sharply on the Rubber Adhesive between the layers of Fabric m Tire as to separate these layers. There ia little “give” to them—just as there ia little "elide” to them. So, they gain Traction at the expense of Mileage. Naturally such Tires require u great BULK of such Rubber in order to deliver reasonable Mileage before worn out. And, therein they differ radically from GOODRICH “Barefoot” Tires. Because,—the Safety-Tread on Goodrich Tires is made ef “Barefoot-Rubber,” a new.-and exclusive compound which discards unnecessary whitish “frictional” ingredi­ ents that are heaviest and inert, as pfoved by their lighter weight. ■i si GEO. £.

But when you come to BUY it you don’t have to pay any more for it than you do for ordinary flour. This has led some people to wonder WHY we CAN and DO manufacture flour at a LESS EXPENSE than others. We are going to SHOW YOU. Before doing so, we want you to thoroughly understand that in ALL mills, the COST of MANUFACTURING MUST BE ADDED to the COST OF MATERIALS, before a price can be made on the flour. For instance mills that operate by sj.eam power MUST ADD the COST of fuel, oil, engineer’s salary, de­ preciation, repairs, etc., to the COST of the flour, or they would strain an "hiiatorl ” If thnv nan nlnrfrin nnuror un/1 litrhia ihnv must ADD that ex|»nse. If they rent their mill they must ADD the cost of RENTAL. If they are doing business on BORROW­ ED MONEY they must ADD the INTEREST CHARGES. Then they must ADD the interest on the investment, taxes, insurance, bookkeeping and ALL OTHER GENERAL EXPENSES. These charges, all told will mount wav up into the THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR. They MUST be added to the COST of the grain, and on top of all this MUST be added a reasonable PROFIT. Here is where we have several great advantages, and a few of the reasons WHY we can make BETTER FLOUR at a LOWER MANUFACTURING COST we will point out to you.. st—We Own Our Own Water Power and Electric Lighting Plant. Water power is the BEST power known; it’s the CHEAPEST power known; it’s the STEADIEST power known. We SAVE all fuel and li^bt bills, all engineer's salaries; all re­ pair bills and all depreciation. This of itself is no small saving. Is Better “Quality” Than Other Flours, But Costs No More 'nd—We Own Our Own Mill and a Brand New Up-to-date Equipment. By owning our own mill and the 'latest equipment of flour-making machinery we SAVE all rents, and with our new equipment we are able to produce a flour of more EVEN GRAN­ ULATION than it is possible for ordinary mills to produce. There isn’t a BETTER EQUIPPED flouring mill in the country that we have. This enables us to MORE than cut our GENERAL EX­ PENSE IN TWO, because our general expenses, such as taxes, insurance, bookkeeping, power, ’lights, repairs, etc., are no more for 24 hours than they would be for 6 to 8 hours. Then by running 24 hours each dav is one reason why French’s White Lily Flour is ALWAYS so SMOOTH and EVEN IN QUAL­ ITY. Flour making machinery cannot lie run only a few hours each day, and do good work, because when it “cools off” it gets out of adjustment and it takes considerable time to gel it readjust­ ed. By running our mill 24 hours every day we never let our machineiy get cold. While we SAVE a lot of money on the manufacturing end of the business, we put a lot of it back in BUILDING Ur "QUALITY.” We clean our grain better; we put our flour through 17 SETS OF ROLLS, while ordinary mills only have 4 to 6 sets. We make our flour BETTER in every way, but our econo­ mies in manufacture pay for it, just as we have pointed out in this advertisement. That’s WHY French’s White Lily is MADE BET­ TER than other flours, and why we can sell it for the same money, or LESS MONEY, than other flours. Why not put it to the test, and order a trial sack? Why not do it today ?

ARGUBR1GHT Business Expert One of the great features of the MICHI­ GAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COL­ LEGE is the personal direction each stu­ dent gets so as to bring out the best there is in him. Charles Chapman had not thought of en­ tering the Sales lines when he came to The Michigan Business & Normal College. This young man finished our Business and Short­ hand Course and then in order for him to get a little experience we placed him in a stenographic position with a Banking House. In this place he had a large volume of Jictation, but we advised him to leave that, position and take up Sales lines. We directed bis line of study and located hhn in a position at Omaha. Nebraska, in the Branch House of the Hupmobile Company. We have a letter from him dated May at, Then we have just located Leon Wolfe as assistant to Mr. R. C. Hicks, in the Cost-Keeping Department of Dodge Brothers, at Detroit. George Andros has just been located as assistant to Mr. Gardener. General Stores Department, Maxwell Motor Car Company. SOME OF THE CALLS WE HAVE UNFILLED AT THE PRESENT TIME AND THAT HAVE COME TO US DURING THE PAST WEEK ARE LIKE THIS:— One of Lansing's big manufacturing concerns wants a good young lady ste­ nographer. They will pay from St2.00 to $15.00 a week to start and offer an exceptional opportunity to the right young woman. A Jackson concern wants two young ladies for the Purchasing Department. These positions will pay not less than $12.00 to begin, and if the young ladies prove efficient they should be earning from $15.00 to $18.00 a week within a short time. in which he says, “I am growing with grow­ ing Omaha. 1 think I can truthfully say that I have made good with the powers that be. Last week I was advised of a raise of S65.00 a month in salary and that my expenses from now on are all to be paid by the house. My new work will consist largely of road work and I believe that I will make good even better in the future than in the past. I honestly believe there are big things ahead of me and what I know about the office end of the proposition Will give me a tremendous advantage over the other fellow." Charles Chapman's story is not aft ex­ ceptional story; it is every day history with the young man who gets Mr. Argubright's training and ia willing to follow the direc­ tion and supervision that Mr. MguBright will give to any young man who will com­ plete the course of study.

(2) A competent auctioneer. Barry county has some very capable auctioneers, so that need can be easily supplied. The BANNER, which covers the entire field of Barry county, and reaches nine out of every ten homes of the county, furnishes the medium through which an auction may be thoroughly adver­ tised in every corner of the county. So completely does the BAN­ NER do its work of giving publicity to an auction sale that many of the best sales have been conducted without a single bill being posted. People have come to expect that a sale this is to be held in Barry Co. will surely be announced in this paper: and if they are interested they save the BANNER for reference, which could not be done with an auction bill. ' The cost of the service is far less in the BANNER way of handling sales, because it saves practically all the time formerly used in putting up bills. And countirfe four readers for each >py, over 20,000 people have a chance to see the adv. in the BANN R where only a few hundred would see the bills, which would be soc destroyed by the ^vind and rain. Furthermore, experience in Barry Co. has shown that the best buyers at an auction sale are those who come from a distance, at­ tracted because they have read about it in the BANNER, and came because they were interested in buying some article or articles listed in the adv. These people would never have heard of the auc­ tion if advertised in the old way with just auction bills, or if advertis­ ed in a paper that covered only a part of the county. The BANNER has advertised over 1,000 auction sales in the past eight years, and was never in better position to give satisfac­ tory service than now. Sold by Grocers everywhere. For the help of any one contemplating having an auction sale, the BANNER has published a little booklet on “How to Con­ duct An Auction Sale.” This we will gladly give to any one who plana to have a sale.

When he invests he is very sure that he is getting 100 cents in VALUE for every dollar he invests, HE KNOWS the value of every dollar he invests, because he EARNED it and he SAVED it.

Gold la not considered a commo­ dity In tho ordinary souse of the term, but Is the basis on which tho values of cotnm|dltles are determined.

The cliffereneo between tho fluctuation of that and tho pur­ chasing j>ower of gold may bo simply Illustrated as follows: That while Its value remains stationary, a premium would serve to reduce Its purchasing power, to be added to Ils cost, but an advance in the price of commodities would operate to reduce tho purchas­ ing price of gold, taking one dollar as a unit. For InsUuce, a dollar will purchase an arilelo whose price co­ incides. but If an advance In the com­ modity raises tho price of that pan tlcular article to fl.10, the purchasing power of gold would necessarily bt reduced praimrtlonately; or, again. In times of adversity, commodities are cheap, the supply invariably exceedtug the demand, tha purchasing power of gold would then bo greater than Id times nt prosperity when tho supply does not meet the demand and higher price* ter commodities result.

We could not afford to sell French’s White Lily Flour at the price we do if this were not so. Taxes, rent, interest, insurance, heat and numberless other general expenses are no greater for 24 hours than they would lie for 8 hours. The concern that has the orders can double or treble the volume of business by running 24 hours that it could do in 8 hours, and at,a very small additional expense. This at least, will cut down the general expense by one-half and at the same time turn out a better quality of goods, because when the machinery is kept in motion it will do a better and more even quality of work by running along at a steady uniform speed. French’s White Lily Flour is made better than other flours for the reasons given above. It doesn’t cost you any more, because of the manufacturing economies we have in the plant by reason of our running night and day, with the best and latest models of labor saving machinery that money can buy, and with the knacks that Over 42 years' experience in making nothing but French’s White Lily Flour have taught You can pay more money for flour but you won’t-get anything as good as French’s White Lily. Possibly you can buy flour for less money, but you’ll find it far more expensive in the end. Why? Because you’ll either throw a lot of it away or punish your stomach with a lot of poor, soggy, indigestible bread. Your experience with flour made in ordinary mills will confirm that statement Why not settle the flour problem at once? Why not just TRY a sack of French’s White Lily? You’ll find it will cut down your living expenses, because you will use every particle of it. There will be no spoiled bakings, and no flour thrown away, or wasted. : । • ,J If French’s White Lily Flour wasn’t better than the oth­ ers there wouldn’t be so many people want it. They wouldn’t keep this big mill running day and night, year in and year out. Why don’t you try a sack of flour, if you are not using it now? The Middleville Roller Michigan Mills Middleville R- T.

You can reach the second floor either from the living room or from the kitchen. . An outside entrance leads up to the kitchen and down to the cellar. The hall leading from living room direct to kitchen is another practical feature. The arrangement upstairs is equally sensible.

How we like to see the children “getting to *the top"—physically, intellectually—every way?. And The Successful Way to Advertise Them - ' Experience has demonstrated that a successful auction sale depends largely upon two’essentials: (1) Thorough Advertising. (2) A competent auctioneer. Barry county has some very capable auctioneers, so that need can be e»ily supplied. The BANNER, which covers the entire field of Barry county, and reaches nin^ out of every ten homes of the county, furnishes the medium through which an auction mqy be thoroughly adver­ tised in every corner of the county. So completely does the BAN­ NER do its work of giving publicity to an auction sale that many of the best sales have been conducted without a single bill being posted. People have come to expect that a sale this is to be held in Barry Co. will surely he announced in this paper; and if they are interested they save the BANNER for reference, which could not be done with an auction bill. The cost of the service is far less in the BANNER way of handling sales, because it saves practically all the time formerly used in putting up bills. And counting four readers for each copy, over 20,­ 000 people nave a chance to see the adv. in the BANNER where only r^a-few hundred would see the bills, which would be soon destroyed by the wind and rain. Furthermore, experience in Barry Co. has shown th^t the best buyers at an auction sale are those who come from a distance, at­ tracted because they have read about it in the BANNER, and came because they were interested in buying some article or articles listed in the adv. These people would never have heard of the auc­ tion if advertised in the old way with just auction bills, or if advertis­ ed in a paper that covered only a part of the county. ■ILU3BQ The BANNER has advertised over 1,000 auction sales in the past eight years, and was never in better position to give satisfac­ tory service than now. For the help of any one contemplating having an auction sale, the BANNER has published a little booklet on “How to Con­ duct An Auction Sale.’ This we will gladly give to any one who plans to have a sale. The BANNER way of advertising auction sales is a demon­ strated success. i 010000015323535389485323232353 U. S.

It's no accomplishment to spend all you earn—anyone can do that—But the one who can save some of each week’s pay is the forehanded—the one who knows the “value of a dol­ lar.’’ . The man or woman who lacks self control will find it hard to save—for saving re­ quires self control—which class are you qualifying in? We don't know—but you do if you will think it over carefully. There is a certain experience in earni ng money, and SAVING it, that gives a man an idea of VALUES, because in saving money his mind unconsciously turns that way.

A GAIN OF OVER 2300 POUNDS ABOVE THE LAST WEEKS RUN BEFORE THE CREAMERY BURNED. This splendid showing conclusively PROVES that the patrons of Shultz Creamery BELIEVE IN CO-OP­ ERATION, and is a remarkable showing considering the fact that our Creamery HAD NOT TURNED A WHEEL FOR OVER TWO MONTHS. New conditions had aris­ en; hauler^routes had to be adjusted, and other changes made. < . On account of some of our Creamery supplies go­ ing wrong on the Railroad, we were unable to start re­ ceiving cream on the first Monday in June as we intended to, and as was advertised in the BANNER at that time. But the loyal patrons of Shultz Creamery stood ready and WAITING to help start the wheels going, with the re­ markable results above shown—6707 POUNDS of butter the FIRST WEEK and 7357 POUNDS the SECOND WEEK. Since the Creamery burned we have received ABOUT 35 NEW STOCKHOLDERS, and we will web come ALL WHO CAN BE REACHED BY OUR ROUTES to join us. We will start NEW ROUTES when enough patrons wish to join to JUSTIFY US IN doing so, as WE HAVE EQUIPMENT ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE CREAM SUPPLIED BY 600 PATRONS. As officers of the Company we wish to thank ALL PATROLS for so LOYALLY standing by us, and we cherish the hope of making Shultz Creamery SECOND TO NONE IN MICHIGAN. We can do it with your con­ tinued united support, which we know you will cheer­ fully give. Now, how about a good, Old-fashioned Meet To­ gether Picnic about August 1st? Why not have all the patrods of the NEW SHULTZ CREAMERY meet either at the Creamery, or at some good lake?

Outside of the large cities there is no place where you can get a new Top, Curtain, Cushion. Seat, or Celluloid windows in the curtain, for your car. We make a SPECIALTY of doing this work: we are equipped to do it RIGHT, and we will do it at a very REASONABLE PRICE, We will do just as good a job as you can get done ANYWHERE, and our PRICE will be JUST AS LOW. or LOWER, than would be charged ELSEWHERE, for the same work and the SAME QUALITY OF MATER­ IALS USED. * A small sum spent in repairs will make your car look almost like NEW. There is really more pleasure in driving a car that LQOKS GOOD, and it will sell for MORE MONEY if you want to dispose of it. We have done a lot of this work; we KNOW HOW, and our PRICES will be RIGHT. So’if you want a new Top. Curtains. Hood. Seat Cushions, or CelluIcid lights in your curtains, cojnc and see us. You'll be surprised HOW LITTLE some needed repairs will cost you. Or we will put a new Top on your carriage if you wish it, We are located on the west side of Jefferson Street, first door south of Morris Pierson's grocery.

Tlit- pound of good b«»f steak will cost you around 20 cents, while the pound of pure wlrite bread, math- from French’s White Lily Flour, will only cost you .3 or 4 cents. , The question of “living expenses,” and how to reduce them without affecting the health of the family, has become* a very live one, ami with the constantly advancing prices of nearly every food product, promises to become more anti more important.

You look over the whole state of Michigan (where the BEST flour-making wheat is grown) and you will not find another flouring mill as fortunately situated as thia mill is, to produce the BEST flour ECONOMICALLY, and in LARGE QUANTITY. We are right in the miilst of a .section that produces the very BEST wheat grown, and this wheat is delivered right nt our mill, without any freight charges, or other extra expense. A large number of farmers grow wheat ES­ PECIALLY FOR U.S. because we pay them a BONUS on all good wheat that TESTS OVER 60 POUNDS TO THE BUSHEL. Ami when it comes to making flour-ECONOMICALLY nnd in the BEST WAY, we know of no mill that can compare with this one. We run this mill night ami day, year in and year out. It only adds a slight amount to our expense, but hy doing it we get a 24 HOUR OUT­ PUT. at practically an 8 or 10 HOUR-A-DAY COST.

In the Clark-Anderson the Acme of Simplicity has been attained. Val­ ves in every form have been eliminated—and with them 90 per cent of motor trouble. There are no springs to become weak or break. Such springs require 25 to 40 pounds of power for each cylinder at each revolution. We have sav­ ed that waste power. . The Clark-Anderson has ONE working part in addition to the usual re­ ciprocating parts found in all motors. The Sleeve Valve motor has FOUR such parts, and the Poppet Valve^motor EIGHT or more. to which U attached a strong wide huger C. which actuates the Olark-Andsrson Platan in its rotary movement. This finger C engagM the piston DIB's slotted chamber, which permits of the reciprocating movement of tho piston D in tbe usual manner by tho connecting rod. Tho gear shaft E is actuated by a silent chain from the crank shaft F, both shafts turning at tho same speed. The gear B routes once for every two revolutions of the gear A. During tbe exhaust stroke the piston port at the left of the letter D passes over the exhaust port tn the cylinder wall, permitting a full exhaust during tbe entire stroke. On the next stroke, or Intake stroke, the port at the right alhe letter D passu over tbe Intake port In tbe cylinder I, penoming a full Intake of mixture. Durlug the compression and working strokes the piston ports are against the blind side of the cylinder opposite the .cylinder ports. Extreme Simplicity means Extreme Reliability. There is nothing to get out of order in the Clark-Anderson. The one working part is actuated by noiseless screw gears. Without valves to stick we are assured of an even distribution of mixture among the cylinders. This means an even distribu­ tion of power, and a perfectly balanced motor. A perfectly balanced motor means leas vibration, more power, greater efficiency, silence. A simple mo­ tor means lower cost of upkeep, as well as lower first cost. Th Clark-Anderson comes on the market at the most opportune time in the histpry of the automobile industry. When motor building as a separate industry is fast becoming one of the best paying propositions in the world. Ito Simplicity also makes it adaptable to Aeroplane, Marine’, Stationary, Tractor and Farm use. The Universal Valveless Four-Cycle Motor Company has taken over the sole license for the manufacture and sale of this motor. All stock in this com­ pany is common, fully paid,, non-assessable and of the par value of $ 10.00 per share.

HKH �TH© Hastings Banner Part Three 20 Pages Think About These Two Bank Ideas Hundreds of people are residing in almost every community who are not yet familiar with the advantages offered them by the banks of their home towns and cities. We believe this is true of Barry County.. We believe there are many people in Hastings and Barry county who do not realize the advantages WE are OFFERING THEM tjy our maintaining and operating the STRONG, Accommodat­ >artments of our bank. Read what say here and then think ing Institution which we do. That’s why we are telling about these two it over. Savings Department Commercial Department Young men, young women and others, we wish to urge you to start a Savings Account with us now. Do not put off any longer so im­ portant a matter as the beginning to save systematically—it is SO EASY to procrastinate in this matter—but time goes on. A few dollars left with us will begin earning you something at once and by adding a few dollars now and then you will very soon have a neat sum of money accumulated for some 'future use or for the ex­ pected rainy day which is sure to come. Every person who has bills to pay—(and who has not?) should have a commercial checking account with us and should pay all ac­ counts by check. Paying accounts by check is the best possible way to make pay­ ments. Many an error has been prevented and many a loss saved by the use of a check instead of currency. If money is lost the finder if un­ scrupulous may use it, or the finder may never be able to discover the loser. If a check for the same amount is lost, the maker can be known by the signature and though the finder be unscrupulous the maker of the check can cancel payment. Many a nice fortune has been started by the first small deposit of $1.00 and then by adding to this beginning and having the interest compounded semi-annually, tideway we do at our bank, the account has grown until the depositor has 'a good sum to invest in some paying business. Every dollar deposited in our savings department will earn you 3 per cent interest compounded semi-annually. There are many other conveniences in having an open checking account with us. Our advice is deposit your money with our strong bank and let us furnish you with one of our neat little check books and from now on PAY by check. Keep your money where you know it is safe from burglars and fire and protected by our $750,000 resources.

This is particularly true in the case of any pasture that has been used for two or three seasons, and has ever been pastured down close. These little germs are secreted down towards the roots of the grass. When the stock is browsing on this grass, the germs are taken into the stom­ achs of sheep, cattle or hogs. There the worms grow and thrive, and the first thing you know the stock commences to die off. If you dissect them you will find the intestinal canals full of worms. This is a practical fact that EVERY STOCK GROWER must go up against. The losses from this ONE CAUSE ALONE every year, will run way up into the millions.

The New Process sells at a price as low or lower than you would expect to f»y for a reliable oil stove. The New Process gives more heat, (where the heat is needed), and uses less oil than any other stove on the market. The New Process does everything that a good stove is expected to do.

Mr. and Mrs. Dan Garlingcr, 111m Amy Hartwell. Min Zaiila Keyi-* and Mis* I.urah Mead motored to Ionin A Solid Wall of Good Will Nothing has ever disturbed the demand for this car. Not for a month, not for a week, not for a single day. Ha. ing only one car to build, Dodge Brothers have been able to build it better and better. But in the sense of radical changes, it is the same car today it was when they designed it. And still tho demand goes on growing greater aud greater. No outside conditions, no conditions inside the industry, seem to slow it up a particle. The people want the car more intensely at this moment than they ever wanted it before. This in the face of the fact that production is at the highest peak it has ever reached. And in the face of the further fact that the sales—in a year and a half—have been more than $03,000,000. You can find out why this is so from what people are saying about the car all around you. For months and months they talked particularly of its performance. Now, you will bear even greater emphasis laid on its economy. You will hear that with thousands of cars in use, Dodge Brothers dealers have practically no use for repair parts. That rumor is true. Accidents are the chief source of demand for Dodge repair parts. "S ou will hear that the cost of maintenance is practically nil. This too, is tme in thousands of cases. ■ You will hear that the car consumes an unusually small amount of gasoline and oil. Tins is literally true—of every Dodge Brothers car, under all conditions. You will hear that it is very difficult to find Dodge Brothers cars for sale at second-hand any­ where. You will also hear that the second hand price is only a little lower than the first price. Both of these things are true—not in one city, nor one state, but all over the Union. You do not hear people talking about the price of the car. But you do hear them talking everywhere about the kind of a car it is. In short, wherever you find a Dodge Brothers car, you will find it surrounded by friends. You will find it running, from morning to night, in an atmosphere of good will. No ill will anywhere, good will everywhere—good will that frows out of its good work. No one knows the value of this good will any better than Dodge Brothers know it. No one counts more on it, nor works harder to deserve it. This is your guarantee when you buy one of Dodge Brothers cars—the great good will that all the owners feel toward it and the high value which Dodge Brothers place on that good will.

Phone is>7 �The Hastings Banner Part Three 20 Pages Think About These Two Bank Ideas Hundreds of people are residing in almost every community who are not yet familiar with the advantages offered them by the banks of their home towns and cities. We believe this is true of Barry County.. We believe there are many people in Hastings ' and Barry county who do not realize the advantages WE are OFFERING THEM by our maintaining and operating the STRONG, Accommodat­ ing Institution which we do. That’s why we are telling about these two departments of our bank. Read what we say here and then think it over. h Savings; Department Commercial Department Young men, young women and others, we wish to urge you to start a Savings Account with us now. Do not put off any longer so im­ portant a matter as the beginning to save systematically—it is SO EASY to procrastinate in this matter—but time goes on. A few dollars left with us will begin earning you something at once and by adding a few dollars now and then you will very soon have a neat sum of money accumulated for some future use or for the ex­ pected rainy day which is sure to come. Many a nice fortune has been started by the first small deposit of $1.00 and then by adding to this beginning and having the interest compounded semi-annually, the wi$Twe do at our bank, the account has grown until the depositor has a good sum to invest in some paying business. Every dollar deposited in our savings department will earn you 3 per cent interest compounded semi-annually. Every person who has bills to pay—(and who has not?) should have a commercial checking account with us aud should pay all ac­ ’ counts by check. Paying accounts by check is the best possible way tn make pay­ ments. Many an error lias been prevented and many a lois saved by the use of a check instead of currency. If money is lost the finder if un­ scrupulous may use it, or the finder may never lie able to discover the loser. If a check for the,s^me amount is lost, the maker can be known by the signature and though the finder be unscrupulous the maker of the check can cancel payment. There are many other conveniences in having an open checking account with us. Our advice is deposit your money with our strong bank and let us furnish you with one of our neat little check books and from now on PAY by check. Keep your money where you know 'it is safe from burglars and fire and protected by our $750,000 resources.

From now on your stock will suffer from an infection of worms unless you do some­ thing to relieve them. You may not be aware of it, but your farm is scattered over with worm infection. This is particularly true in. the case of any pasture that’has been used for two or three seasons, and has ever been pastured down close. These little germs are secreted down towards the roots of the grass. When the stock is browsing on this grass, the germs are taken into the stom­ achs of sheep, cattle or hogs.

And Ths Successful Way to Advertise Them Experience has demonstrated that a successful auction sale depends largely upon two essentials: **( I ) Thorough Advertising. (2) A competent auctioneer. Barry county has some very capable auctioneers, -o that need can be easily supplied. The BANNER, which covers the entire Geld of Barry county, and reaches nine dut of every ten homes of the county, furnishes th'.- medium through which an auction may be thoroughly adver­ tised in ccry .corner of the county. So completely does the BAN­ NER do its work of giving publicity to an auction sale that many of the best sales have been conducted without a single bill being posted. People have come to expect that a sale this is to be held in Barry Co. will suri-l. l>e announced in this paper; and if they are interested they save lii ! : XN.NER for reference, which could not be done with an auction bill. Tl -.'cost of the service is far less in the BANNER way of handling t; k r, iiecause it saves practically all the time formerly used in putting up bills. And counting four readers for each copy, oyer 20,­ 0( b j c < lx.ve a chance to see the adv. in the BANNER where only a few hundred would see the bills, which would be soon destroyed by the wind and rain. . . I j: thermore. experience in Barry Co, has shown that the lie t E r. , i. at an auction sale are those who come from' a distance, atU\ r;c f bfemtse they have read about it in the BANNER, and cam'- bee .-a.;..;c- they were interested in buying some article or articles li-ied the .<dv.

You are not, and the chances are that it will not be anywhere near as good. A grest many times people get the idea that just be­ cause they buy a product from “away off" that they are getting a better value. • That might be the case with some products, but it is not true as to flour. You can hunt the market over and you will not find the equal of French’s White Lily as a gen­ uine flour “value.” You can search this country, and you will not find a mill with BETTEft or MORE COMPLETE EQU1PMEN1 than we have. We have a combination of natur­ al advantages that ybu will not find in any other mill. We have a force ol the best skilled workmen that money can get. In fact, wc have EVERY FACILITY for making the BEST FLOUR that it is possible to manufacture, and to produce it at the LOWEST COST. We are fortunate in being located in the very heart of the best wheat producing section of Michigan. Our grain is delivered al our mill, and there are NO FREIGHT CHARGES that-have to be added to the (*OST of the floui Mills in other states have to have Michigan wheat in order to make the BEST FLOUR, and they I 1AVE to add the freight charges on the wheat delivered at their mills and the return freight charges on fhe flour, to the COST OF THEIR PRODUCT. Very few mills in the country run their mills over 8 or 10 hours a day, and a very large percentage of them WON T AVERAGE HALF that time. Their taxes, in­ surance, bookkeeping, office expenses and a host of other items .are just as much for four hours, as they would be for 24 hours. We run this mill night and day, year in and year out and we have done so for over 30 years. Our overhead expense is but a little more for running 24 hours than it would be for 4 hours, so we get a 24-hour output at an expense but little greater than it would be for five hours or ten hours. This FACT is one of the important REASONS WHY we can sell French’s White Lily for the same money, or LESS than you would have to pay for OR­ DINARY FLOUR—pur very low "operating expense” compared to our large production. We operate this mill with our own WATER POW­ ER. the cheapest power known, and especially desirable for flouring mills because it is so steady and reliable. If you are looking for the best flour value you’ll find it right here at home—it’s French’s White Lily and every Grocer and’Elevator man handles it.. Why not order a sack next time just to “try it out?” The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville ' R.T. FRENCH, Proprietor Michigan �THE HASTINGS BANNER Thursday, July 6,1916.

You are going to buy a lot of Baked Goods durng these hot months, because you can buy them FOR LESb MONEY than you can make them yourself. You are going to buy them because it will SAVE yOur wife from standing over a hot stove for hours every day, and allow her that much extra time to do other necessary work. Now before you buy any baked good, you like to KNOW who makes them; and WHERE they are made; and WHAT they are made of. When you buy baked goods that are shipped into Hastings YOU DON’T KNOWANYTH1NG ABOUT THEM. You can’t know anything about them—and probably it would be just as well for anyone consuming them that they,DON'T KNO\^. But when you buy Star Bakery goods, you buy goods that are MADE clean; BAK­ ED clean; and SOLD clean. They are made RIGHT HERE AT HOME, By PEOPLE YOU KNOW, and in one of the CLEANEST LIGHTEST and MOST SANITARY Bake Shop in Michigan. In the large cities, Bake Shops are usually located in dark, foul, poorly ventilated basements, that must at least “taint” the bakings. The Star Bakery is located in the second story, wjth overhead transom and lights, giving the best of LIGHT and VENTILATION. We use “GOLD MEDAL” Flour, the highest priced fjour on the market, buying it in CARLOAD LOTS? We use pure "LEAF LARD” and the BEST OF EVERYTHING for our Bread and Baked Goods. Buying in such large QUANTITIES we get the LOW­ EST PRICES. Our large new bake oven, of the most scientific construction, permits ,us to bake thousands of loaves of bread, cookies, cakes, piesand pastries in the same length of time it would take the ordinary housewife to bake just a very few of each for the family. T? oiBy buying the BEST OF EVERYTHING tor.much LESS MONEY than you JtX©SU*l can, and with the actual labor cost of bakng»a loaf of bread, a dozen cookies, cakes or pies, so SMALL as to be almost unworthy of consideraton, it STANDS TO REA­ SON that 1 can supply you with Baked Goods OF ANY KIND at a price SO LOW that you really CAN'T AFFORD TO DO YOUR OWN BAKING, and my goods will be made of better materials than you would probably buy. These are FACTS I would like to have you THINK ABOUT, and are reasons WHY you should let me be your Baker. The MORE business I get the BETTER 1 can, find will do for you. Your Grocer has Star Bakery Goods. Ask him for them, and INSIST upon getting them. . Hastings, Mich. Phone 381 Kraft’s calling on friends and forking nftei his property Sere <>n Saturday.

Being liberal and generous, in affairs where it is proper and deliberate to be so, differs widely from being thriftless, thought­ less and careless in buying tilings, on a busi­ ness basis. A habit of ‘‘Jumping at Conclusions,” instead of Thinking oat these Conclusions,, coats many a man a lifetime uf Un-success. T OO many Americans indolently act upon tho shallow theory that an article “must be” WORTH more, merely because it Costs more. They arc thus taxed a heavy price, all through life, for such an indolent habit of Thought . ’ . They work hard, industriously and in­ telligently, to acquire money. Then (for their personal needs) they “Spcnd it with a Spade.” Is this complimentary to the judgment of even the Wealthiest?

These new corn flakes arc distinctive in that they bear a self-developed flavor all their own—the delicate, fascinating flavor of choice, white Indian corn. Unlike other flakes, they do nut depend on cream and sugar to make them palatable. Hastings, Mich. Try a handful without cream and sugar—note the fine flavor and new form: also the tiny "bubbles” on eac^ flake. These bubbles ate a distinguishing characteristic and are produced by the quick, intense heat of the new process of making, which alio brings out the wonderful flavor. Federal Inquiry ori Railroad Strike? Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. * • , « I Holt 0 part to the million of Iron la water la detectable by taste, and more than four or five parts make water latrd two year* ago and called Strep- unpalatable.

(2) A competent auctioneer. Barry county has some very capable auctioneers, so that need can be easily supplied. The BANNER, which covers the entire field of Barry county, and reaches nine out of every ten homes of the county, furnishes the medium through which an auction may be thoroughly adver­ tised in every corner of the county. So completely does the BAN­ NER do its work of giving publicity to an auction sale that many of the best sales have been conducted without a single bill being posted. People have come.to expect that a sale this is to be held in Barry Co. will surely be announced in this paper; and if they are interested they save the BANNER for reference, which could not be done with an auction bill. Fhe cost of the service is far less in the BANNER way of handling sales, because it saves practically all the time formerly used in putting up bills. And counting foul • - each copy, over 20,tiers for 000 people have a chance to see tli in the BANNER where only a few hundred would see the bills, which would he soon destroyed by the wind arid rain. Furthermore, experience in Barry Co. has shown that the best buyers at an auction sale arethose ____ ______ who come from a distance, attractcfl because they havfe read about it ii le BANNER, and came because they were interested in buying tie article or articles listed in the adv. These people would never have heard of the auc­ tion if advertised in the old way with just auction bills, or if advertis­ ed in a paper that covered only a part of the county. The BANNER has advertised over 1,000 auction sales in the past eight years, and was never in better positron to give satisfac­ tory service than now. For the help of any one contemplating having an auction sale, the BANNER has published a little booklet on “How to Con­ duct An Auction .Sale." I his we will gladly give to any one who plans to haye a sale. The BANNER way of advertising auction sales strated success. demon- । Men” Obliged Him to Leave I Earlier Than He Planned.

FRENCH’S wTWlE FLOUR Use It and Cut Down the Living Expenses in Your Home Wanted U Every "boost" in the cost of living incites more and more people to carefully study HOW and WHERE tq get the BEST VALUE FOR THEIR MONEY. The "balance sheet" often teaches what FORE­ SIGHT could not impress. The people of our country are learning that it doesn’t pay to "eat up the principal.” I here is hope ahead, because big business has come to strongly realize that fact. We’ve been wasteful a£ a nation, and as a people, and we are too slowly abandoning our "squandering” pol­ icies. Only a few years ago people were saying that Michigan alone had timber enough to last for centuries. But today our great forests of pine and hardwood are gone, as are those of al) the other northern states; 60 per cent of the timber in the south has been cut, and rapid slashes are being made into the Pacific Coast forests. If a sapling had been planted to replace every tree that has been cut in lhe last half century, billions of dollars in wealth would have been added to our country, and half the districts now threatened every year by floods would be immune. After the- Fish and game supplies were nearing comparative exhaustion, the state stepped in to protect them. Now the lumber interests have petitioned the gov­ . ernment to adopt more stringent laws for the protection of forests. The greedy axe is appalled at the prospect of famine. Nature couldn’t breed trees fast ehough to hold her balance against the criminally reckless depletion of timber areas. A great many people are too thoughtless and indif­ ferent about their livipg expenses. There is not enough thought of "conservation"—of SAVING—in the house­ hold. If you are having some difficulty in making "both ends meet,” or if you want to cut your expenses, why not BEGIN NOW. Try the French’s White Lily Flour way in your home. You will get the HIGHEST QUALITY FI .OUR for the same money, or even less, than you would pay for an inferior product. When you buy French’s White Lily you KNOW that your family will be supplied with the best food product obtainable; you know that you’ll use every OUNCE of itt and nothing will be thrown away. In short when you buy French’s White Lily Flour you "ELIMINATE ALL WASTE”—and how to do that is the great study of the brightest rpinds of this age. Why not BEGIN NOW? Order a sack today just for trial. The delicious bakings you will have and the SAVING you will make in using it, will encourage you to repeat your experience along other lines. Try it and convince yourself. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T, T. FRENCH, FRENCH, Proprietor Proprietor R.

For Rent—I'lat fund*>h«il JULY 27. 1019 With Our Extremely Low “General Expense” We Are Able To Improve the Quality of FRENCH’S ™E flour eluded or Wanted- Girl* You. take any miller who runs his mill only 6 or 8 or 10 hours each day, no matter whether he owns his mill or rents it, his “general expenses” are alftiost as much as if he would run 24 hpurs a day, as this mill does. His rent, taxes, insurance, book-keeping, interest, and a host of other charges would be no more for 24 hours than for 4 hours. No man wants to “do business for nothing.” So the sole object of the operators of all flouring mills that run 5 to 10 hours each day, is to RUSH JuST AS MUCH GRAIN TF1ROUGH THE ROLLS AS IT |S POSSIBLE. They could not afford to take the pains in manufacturing that we do. because those "overhead expenses” would make it a "LOSING PROPOSITION” for them. That’s why, in the ordinary mills, you see the grain passing through only 2 or 3 or 4 sets of rolls, before it is put in sacks and called ready for use. in this mill you would see the grain is cleaned better ; you would see the grain passing through 17 SETS OF ROLLS each set doing its work of grinding the heart of the wheat down a little finer and finer, until at last it gets down to a smooth, even quality, where every particle of the flour is just the same size as every other particle. If every reader of the BANNER could go through this mill; see how we clean our grain; and the pains we take in making flour, they would all better appreciate WHY French’s White Lily Flour is so much BETTER than any other flour. They cduld then see HOW and WHY we produce flour of HIGHEST QUALITY, are able to sell it at no more than is charged for flour of great­ ly inferior quality. Some millers may CLAIM that the flour they make is just as good as French’s White Lily F lour—but it IS NOT. Bv owning our own mill, water power, lighting plant, and RUNNING 24 HOURS A DAY YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT, we effect a great SAVING on "general ex­ penses," as you can see. We put a lot of this saving in adding to the QUALITY of French's White Lily Flour. That’s why we sell you a BE1TER FLOUR for the SAMEL MONEY. A trial sack will convince you that French's White Lily Flour is positively the greatest value on the market. No other flour compares with it in QUALITY. It will help you CUT DOWN YOUR LIVING EXPENSES; it will guarantee you the BEST and most wholesome food for your family. Why not try a sack? Your Grocer or Elevator man has it.

Affleiffldlmsifflli { Any man or woman whose knowledge of this city extTmls back to ten years ago, wiB.be easily able to recall th<* Jef-1 ferson Street of that day: its saloons, the vile litpior-smells, the viler language heard, the sight of the saloon loafers, and, on Saturdays ^Specially, the reeling of drunken mon along that street. That one block was such a disreputable place, because of the saloons,-that m» solf-respeeting woman ever would pass thro.ugh it in the day tiyie .when a crowd was in town, ami no one wished to puss that way after tlnrk unless on an errand of dire necessity, or because- his own low instincts made him en­ joy the ilebftsed surroundings of the saloons. * ('ounty prohibition has nut aceomplishod nil it should in Barry county (Itrough the failure of the courts to projierly puni.-h oBcmlers when convicted, mid the failure of officers to enforce the law tts they do other laws. But in spite of nil that, the jM’uceful, orderly and greatly improved conditions on Jef­ ferson Street, umh-r un imperfect ami laxly enforced law, are jui’t a-little foretaste of what might be expected in the saloon cunwd towns mid cities of Michigan if the state shall give a de­ cisive dry majority next Novemlier. No one dares to come out in the open and defend the saloon in this day, whetuknowledge has become so widespread that it is a nuisance, a curse, a crime-breeder, ninnhood de­ stroyer and home wrecker; that it ruins Health and happiness, destroys efficiency, and is in any community a foul, diseasebreediug, expense-ereutii; uismtee, for whose existence no excuse can hr framed, and no real argument made. And yet Hie state of Michigan has laws Upon its statute books not only Itermitting the sul<H>n to exist utth->s the people kick it out, but actually licensing it to ‘Io its debauching work ih necomplisliing the degeneracy uf its (nitrons! This state has no husine s to be a'partner in such a criminal business. Tho experience of Rus.-ia after it had driven the traffic out of that country is pr<s»f that it can be done and that it ought to be done by every country. The experience of Kansas UBdep-t-lale-wideprohibition, where the law is now favored by all political parties, mid-is ns well enforced as any other law in that stale, is proof that prohibition can be enforced. If a ma­ jority shall favor it. to say that prohibition cannot he enforced is to repudiate bmji the right and the possibility of majority rule—in other words such a statement declares that dcmocmcv is a failure, anil that the people cannot rule themwlves. Wfi hope to see Barry Co. practically iinuniniyus fur state wide prohibition; for we feel llmt under it Barry Co. will have far le.-s trouble to have the law adequately enforced than we now have with county prohibition. lhe Way to vote for state wid)* prohibition is not only to vote "Yes” next Novemljer. but also not to vote for any cmididate for governor, lieutenant guvernm, congressman', state ly declme that, if th«- majority wmit state wide prohibition, he will-help, sd tar a> l.v can, tu give them laws that, will make their will effective.. • .

To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or indu£ trial warfare? • The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. । The railroads are in the public service— your service. This army of employes is in the public servicey-your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. 1 On all the Eastern Railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest, and average of all) as shown by the payrolls— Pa*—<*r Frrtght 1553 3004 951 17M 957 1707 Firemen Brakemen. 1552 2901 933 1762 862 1521 1831 1128 1141 $1303 $1543 2178 1145 1315 1991 752 935 1633 8IU 1085 1635 1642 1109 973 The average yearly wage payments to all Eastern train em­ ployes (including those who worked only part of the year/ as shown by the 1915 payrolls were— Paste ng er . . .$1796 Conductor* . . . . . 1724 Firemen ... . . . 1033 Engineer* .

The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri­ bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle­ ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer­ ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis­ sion. This offer has been refused by the employes’ representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Gov­ ernment determine this issue?

The people who are using French’s White Lily Flour have used other flours and chosen French’s White Lily Flour to use ALL THE TIME because it was found to be the BEST FLOUR ON THE MARKET. It is also the CLEANEST flour on the market because all the grain is washed and polished; all cockle, broken kernels and foul stuff are taken out by special patented machines, which is not done in other mills. Therefore you get all this stuff in the flour those oth­ er mills make. good buggy. barnc As the result of over 40 years of successful experience and the most modern equipment of machinery, French's White Lily Flour has a rich, nutty flavor all its own. Try it the next time. We would not ask or expect you to buy French’s White Lily Flour just because it is made in Barry County, or because we use MORE. BaYry County wheat than any other concern in the county. When you buy flour we expect you to buy on MERIT alone. But when it comes to REAL MERIT wc will be glad to have you inves­ tigate closely. French’s White Lily Flour is the most extensively used flour in Barry County. There is more of it used than all £he other flours com­ bined. There must be a reason for this.

To be successful in the future, one must make the most of the present. All successful people have become such by hard work. They spend no time in sheer idleness, in talking when they have nothing to say, and worse than waste their years. “Better die than useless live.' ■ Lot m than bo up and doing, With a heart for any fate, SU11 achieving, still pursuing; During all the years of our Real Estate experience, the past ja months hove seen the smallesf^imount of farm property transferr­ ed, not only here, but over the entire central northern states. But wc have steadily gone ahead organizing our business for future trade, which is sure to come. ’ ... We have been compelled to take some very drastic action in the past, in order to maintain the policy established by this Agency, that every man doing business should receive a "Square Deal,’ just what is fair, and square, and right between man and man. However the business now is nicely re-established and going along finely, and the above policy will always be maintained. We are now receiving a number of inquiries for farm prop­ erty, and tbe future looms big for the sale of farm property during the coming fall. So i^-you desire to sell your property, let us hear from you at once by dropping us a card or calling at our office.

Tbo whole secret of casting Iles in thumbing the line, and n few hours of practice should suf­ fice to demonstrate how the trick can l>e accomplished. The beginner, however, will find it an advantage to practice casting with a full reel, and If the cast­ ing line te not sufficiently long enough to fill the spool a quan­ tity of string may be first sp-vded and the casting lino wound on the core thus made. CenoWerabte precilee is, of course, neces­ sary Ixforo tho angler can cast long and accurately, and the thumb must be educated to reg­ ulate the »|M‘<-d of the reel ’and allow it to travel freely, but not overrun. 0 “ 2 o “ ° NORTHWEST CARLTON WHEN THEY HARVEST COFFEE Miiuw-s Celia Mnlliroa and Ethel Anspaugb, who ha'c been attending Guatemalan Pickers Are Paid Little, but Make Attractive Scene on the Plantation.

Hankins of Buttle Creek apent 008^77 And Thn Successful Way to Advertise Them Experience has demonstrated that a successful auction sale depends largely upon two essentials: ( I ) Thorough Advertising. (2) A competent auctioneer. Barry county has some very capable auctioneers, so that need can be easily supplied. The BANNER, whickcovers the entire field of Barry county, and reaches nine out of every ten homes of the county, furnishes the medium through which an auction may be thoroughly adver­ tised in every corner of the county. So completely does the BAN­ NER do its work of giving publicity to an auction sale that many of the best sales have been conducted without a single bill being posted. People have come to expect that a sale this is to be held in Barry Co. will surely be announced in this paper; and if they are interested they save the BANNER for reference, which could not be done with an auction bill. The cost of the service is far less in the BANNER way of handling sales, because it saves practically all the time formerly used in putting up bills. And counting four readers for each copy, over 20,­ 000 people have a chance to see the adv. in the BANNER where on|y> a few hundred would see the bills, which would be soon destroyed by the wind and rain. Furthermore, experience in Bariy Co. has shown that the best buyers at an auction sale are those who come from a distance, at­ tracted because they have read about it in the BANNER, and came because they wexe interested in buying some article or articles listed in the adv. These people would never have heard of the auc­ tion if advertised in the old way with just auction bills, or if advertis­ ed in a paper that covered only a part of the county. The BANNER has advertised over 1,000 auction sales in the past eight years, and was never in better position to give satisfac­ tory service than now. For the help of any one contemplating having an auction sale, the BANNER has published a little booklet on “How to Con­ duct An Auction Sale." This we will gladly give to any one who plans to have a sale. The BANNER way of advertising auction sales is a demon­ strated success. \ i 11111111 uad <>f Grand Rapid* are night on account nf Sports Day at Will Hi rringtiilt liKd family. Moat Lasting Wodu.

FOR OVER FORTY YEARS Wanted— Family laundt BU.l ib-li.'rr.-ii '■ Our Aim Has Been to Jmprove the Quality of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR 228 E. High St. Phone nadir* and Reputation is a matter of slow growth. We have been building up the rep­ utation of French’s White Lily Flour for over 40 years. Since we have been engaged in this business, many changes have come in tlie methods of making flour. We have been extremely careful in changing our nfethods until we were satisfied that they were RIGHT, and would improve the QUALITY of French's White Lily Flour. ring*. Wanted—I. We have reduced flour making to an exact science. We KNOW just what kind of flour the housewives want, and what will give them the BEST SATISFAC­ TION We studied out a PLAN for making flour EXACTLY THE SAME every time. That is the reason that French’s White Lily Flour NEVER VARIES IN QUALITY, and why the housewife can always DEPEND UPON it. The sack you buy next week will be EXACTLY THE SAME as the sack you bought last week or last month, because every kernel of wheat, and every particle of the flour, has to go through exactly the same process. Comb Honey for Sale—I H s WE JUST COMMENCE TO MANUFACTURE FLOUR WHERE THE ORDINARY MILLS QUIT. For instance the flour made in the ordinary mills only goes through from 3 to 5 sets of rolls. On the other hand we put French’s White Lily Flour through 17 SETS of rolls. When we have put the grain through 4 or 5 sets of rolls, we have only COMMENCED to make our flour. Every extra set of rolls that French’s White Lily goes through ADDS TO ITS QUALITY, and makes the flour just SO MUCH BETTER, and in the end reduces every particle of flour to the same size. This permits an even uniform absorption of yeast when making bread. Every woman appreciates that there is a big difference in flour. She knows that with one kind of flour she may have "good luck” in baking one time, and "poor luck" the next time. The fault is not hers—it is because the fiour WAS NOT MADE RJGHT. She could easily see the REASON WHY if she could see the pro­ cess of manufacture in this mill, and compare it with the process followed in the or­ dinary mill. The women folks nre "getting wise" to the difference in the QUALITY of I flour. They KNOW that with French’s White Lily Flour their work is LIGHTEN­ ED, because they do not have any baking troubles. They "feel sure” of GOOD RE­ SULTS. On the other hand, when they use flour made in ordinary mills, they are NEVER SURF, of results. No matter whether they prepare the bakings in the "same way every time” the RESULTS WILL VARY, because the FLOUR IS NOT UNIFORM IN QUALITY, for the reason that IT IB NOT MADE RIGHT-not made EVEN AND UNIFORM. By reason of owning our own mill, our water-power, our electric lighting plant, and especially by running NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out/it enables us to KEEP EXPENSES DOWN, and reduces our MANUFACTURING COST to a minimum. The expense that we SAVE in this way, we put right back into MAKING OUR FLOUR BETTER. That’s the reason that you are able to buy French's White Lily Flour at the same price that inferior brands would cost you. When you buy French’s White Lily YOU GET A BETTER VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY That’s the reason that MORE of it is used in Barry County than of all other flours combined. During the more than 40 years we have been running this mill scores of dif­ ferent brands of flour have been thrust on the market, all of ihem claiming to be “just as good” as French’s White Lily Flour. People in many cases have "tried them out,” but they ALWAYS come back to the Old Reliable French’s White Lily, better satisfied than ever before that it’s the BEST fiour on the market. If you don’t KNOW what French’s White Lily Flour is; if you have never tried it in vour home, why not order just ONE SACK and try it out. Your Grocer or Elevator man has it, and every sack is GUARANTEED TO PLKASE YOU. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.

Lcok Out When Hog Apparently Buf­ fers Paralysis of Hind Parts and Inability to Rise. T Grand Rapids, Michigan Audits made of books of corporations, firms and individuals. A Clean Cut Acceptance Speech It could hardly have come as a shocking surprise to Mr. Hughes to be notified on July 31 that he had been nominated for the Presidency of the Untied States by the republican party at their national convention held in Chicago more than^a month before. Nevertheless the custom of formally notifying a presi­ dential candidate has some tilings to commend it, the cliief ad­ vantage being that it gives the candidate a chance to state his position on public questions and the country a better oppor­ tunity to judge the man and what he stands for. Carnegie Hall in New York City will seat 3,500 people, but 7,500 applied to hear Mr. Hughes’ answer to the formal no­ tification of Ins nomination. The BANNER has not the space to give th his address. It met with a decidedly favorable re­ ception by the press and people of this country. Wc give a few of the highlights of the speech of acceptance, which was throughout clear, logical, clean-cut and- convincing... A few extracts will serve to show the character of the entire address: FOREIGN RELATIONS, . Instead of assuring respect in foreign relations, by strength and expertness, the administration has been weak and inexpert and has invite4, distrust. The administration has yielded national interest to party expediency, a lamentable sacrifice of international repute. I propose that we shall make agencies of diplomatic in­ tercourse, in every nation, worthy the American name. FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE.

TO YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN AS RIGHT NOW. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN And right here you are trained for success in business. Hundreds of young men and young wo­ men have gone from this institution trained to serve to the highest possible'degree of efficiency. The few months* training received here saves one, two, three, four and sometimes five years’ apprenticeship in some small job-at a trifling salary. To many this training has been worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in increased salaries—certainly thousands of dollars in greater opportunities. What wc have done for them we can do for you. Right now we are starting classes. Come join these young peo­ ple who in a few months hence will be ready to ac­ cept good positions in business. FOR THE THINKERS, THE DOERS— FOR THE TRAINED—THERE ARE NO PAN­ ICS, NO DEPRESSIONS, NO JOB-HUNTING. Right now there are thousands of positions in all parts of the country seeking the man or woman who is trained properly. Are your hands and your brain trained? Is there a demand for your ser­ vices? You owe it to yourself to learn what we have done for hundreds—what we are doing for hundreds more, and what we can and will do as easily for you. Lay the Foundation For a Successful Career To investigate will take but a few minutes of your time, and it may pave the way for a suc. cessful career for you in business. Former gradu­ ates arc now occupying high grade positions of prominence and power. The training they received here gave them their start—their opportunity. To­ day wc offer you a better training and better in­ struction than ever before. The best that can be had. Come to the office and let us tell you how wc can prepare you for a high-salaried secretarial posi­ tion in business or civil service. Let us tell you how we can place you in a position as we did Russell Bevington a short time ago at a salary of $90.00 a month to start. He has already received two substantial raises. Let us tell you how we can do for you what we have done for the Misses Grace and Marguerite Sullivan. These young women started at $65.00 a month. Let us tell you how we can prepare you for the same kind of a position that we prepared Clyde H. Marshall for. This young man has the honor of holding the world’s medal as the fast­ est and most accurate shorthand writer. He is now official stenographer for the King's County Court nt Brooklyn, New York. ' There arc hundreds oi business openings for young men and young women stenographers—book­ keepers—young men and young women who have been trained to do the work that the business world wants done, young men and young women who have a desire and an ambition to be something in the! world more than mire hewers of wood and draw-1 era of water. The Most Important Appeal We Have Ever Made Never before in Hie history of this school have we made an anouncemcnt that offered so much, that meant so much to ambitious young men and young women who want to take the shortest and surest road to success. Never be­ fore has it been within our power to offer such great opportunities to the young people of this country as we aro able to do now. Young Man, Young Woman: If you want to be identified with the biggest | success and the quickest success in the business history; if you want to take advantage of the most ; wonderful opportunity that has ever been present­ i ed to you, now is the time to „_act. M.W You who would I like to become sUnographers.~accountants7private । secretaries, and later the sales manager, traffic man­ : agent. advertising managers and executives: you who would like to make these splendid positions I yours, now is the time. Let us tell you how we can prepare you for a position as we did George N. Bliss, now Su­ perintendent for the Thomas B. Jeffries Com­ pany at Kenosha, Wisconsin; a fifteen million dollar corporation. Let us tell you how we can prepare you for the same kind of position that we have many other young men and young women. Remember that the high-salaried execu­ tives of today are those who a few years ago laid the foundation for their present success. Those who prepare now are sure to be the exe cutives of tomorrow. Your training here covers all the fundamen­ tals of business; all the tools of business—book-« keeping, accounting, office practice, shorthand, type­ writing, filing, indexing, stenotypy, commercial law, business English, banking, salesmanship—ev­ erything that you need to know to go into the busi­ ness world and become a success among the suc­ cessful ones.

Pirn quite nt Hl Made by a miller who has superior knowledge of the manufac­ ture of flour and backed by an equipment that excells any thing in Western Mich, in the flour making industry, a product from the best wheat grown, it is not to be wondered at that French’s White Lily Flour is the most popular and satisfactory flour used in Barry county. French’s White Lily Flour is the result of the best wheat grown, passing through the best, newest, and most up-to-date flour making machinery that money can buy. More than this it is made in a mill that runs continuously DAY and NIGHT year in and year out. As our machinery is all operated by water power, you can see the perfect conditions under which french’s White Lily Flour is produced. None bqt the best of skilled help is employed in this mill. 1 »b<.rt Month bV month anti year by year we continue to improve the quality of French’s White Lily-Flour. The flour we are making today is better than it has ever been before. When we find there is any new piece .of machinery needed to improve the fineness or the quality of our flour we obtain it at once and give you the benefit of the improve­ ment, for we do not add to the price of French’s White Lily Flour. French's White Lily is a high grade flour in every respect and yet you pay no more for it than you would have to pay if you used an inferior or cheaper grade product. It is reasonable to suppose that after having made this high grade product for over 40 years and always kept improving it and adding to it with experience, that we are able to furnish you a flour that-is su­ perior inrevery way to other flours that claim to be-just as good. Do not be deceived—there is none so good ns French’s White Lily Flour, it’s always even, it’s always just the same—when you bake with it one time you find it just like other times. Nearly every­ body’s using it. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask your grocer for a sack. I le has it in stock. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T-.

Ml 8. 1 Splendid Display of Fireworks on Friday Evening at Barry County Fair Horselbwer From This Powerful MAXWELL ENGINE ■ Almost 34 horse-power from this reg­ ular stock Maxwell engine! 34 actual, brake horse-power! Proved by an accurate dynamometer test, made in the Maxwell laboratories August 10, 1916. There has been a lot of talk about horse-power, and we just want to let Maxwell owners and prospective owners know that in respect to horse-power, as in most other respects, the Maxwell leads by a comfortable margin. Not that we attach such great importance to horse-power. We don’t We never have. Horse-power —abundant horse-power —is only one of many superior features of the Maxwell. We are selling motor cars—complete motor cars not engines or horse-power. Horse-power is a matter that is second­ ary to motor efficiency and economy. A giant has no advantage if he does not apply, or wrongly applies, his strength. Maxwell cars have horse-power —all you want or need probably more per pound of car weight than any other automobile in the world. But we don’t make any loud cry about it. «— Because we have mere than horse­ power to sell you. Because you are, and should be, inter­ ested in results, the net effectiveness of power. We challenge competitive tests. We invite comparison. Because we absolutely know that no’ car of its class or weight can surpass the Maxwell on speedways, on rough roads, through sand or mud, anywhere. And because we know, and you will know, that, everything considered, the Maxwell is the World's Greatest Motor Car Value! W. A.

That’s why we say we prize the high esteem in which French’s White Lily Flour is held, It is one of our l>ext as­ sets. It shows that oar more than 40 years of hard work have not been in vain, nml that our eoiistatit efforts to produce the BEST FLOUR at the LOWEST POSSIBLE COST, haw Ijpen appreciated. Mftny an institution tries to live on its reputation; others try to “cnpifalize’.' it. All of them fall down, sooifer or later. Smncljmes you ftt^van institution win a glorious stirrer.

We have never “figured that way.” We feel that nothing is too good for French’s White Lily Flour. No (tains or expense will be sparrd to keep it at the beadof the list of the best flour made, and our econo­ mies in manufaclurr enable us to sell it al price no higher than is charg­ ed for Ilnurs of inferior quality* If you will tty French's White Lily Flour just once, you will see that it is MORE DEPENDABLE than any other Hour you can buy. You will find that ruelt sack you buy is just like the last sack you •liouglit, because every particle of Hour has to go through the complete jiroccss of this mill before it govs to the sack. French’s White Lily Flour will cut down the liviilir ex|s«m*es,of any family using it, nnd itwill provide the members of the household with the Ih*s( bread than can be imide. .

They have die substantial quality appearance of a high-priced roof —yet they cost no more than ordinary wood shingles. Their artistic crushed slate surface harmonizes perfect­ ly with the finish of any building material-r brick, concrete or frame—and their natural slate hues, green­ gray or dull red, blend with nearly any wall color. Certain-teed Slate Surfaced Asphalt Shingles have qualities which mean perfect protection and long life. The bait or body of CERTAIN-TEED Shingles is the be»t quality roofing fell, thoroughly saturated with the General’s own blendof soft aaphalu and then cuatcd with harder asphalts, which prevent* the soft inner saturation from drying out. The overlapping of shinglea givea a triphthick roof of thia heavy, weather-proof material—making n roof that will stay right and tight for many yean. CERTAIN-TEED Shingle* are guaranteed to lut at least 10 year*} and much longer service can be expected. Every requirement of a roof—artistic appearance, weMhcr-tightilesj and great durability—is fully met by CERTAIN-TEED Shingles —at a remarkably low co*t. These thingies are spark prooh will not curl or buckles will not rot or rust, require no paintings can’t crack, break or fall off. Each shingle is perfect in forms no wute in laying and they are laid with leas coat for labor. Whither you art ta build or re-roof, CERTAIN-TEFD Shiugk* drserva your invMdgation.

Four Plans are what we call the "progressive” style of payment. They call for deposits of one, two, five and ten cents, respectively, the first week, increasing each week thereafter by the same amounts. Four classes are the "reducing” style of payment and are the opposite of the “progressive" classes. The last eight classes call for deposits of an equal amount each week.

Wouldn’t it be Great to Have Tax Money When Tax Time Comes or a Nice Little Sum When Vacation Arrives? Some Idea of the System dent Seems Unfair and Quite Unwarranted. Mary L Bidelman, Plaintiffs, The«e are two matters that are always perplexing to most people—To have money handy at Tax Time and to have funds enough to take them on a pleasant vacation. Taxes are sure to come due about such a time each year and some time during the summer most folks would like a little vacation—Why not provide for these TWO EVENTS? - Our Thrift Tax and Vacation Club is now being or­ ganized. You can join this club and start a systematic saving, according to some plan which you may select, which you will keep up for 40 weeks. The Club will be opened September lit. You should join this club! If you do not care to save this money for Vacation or Taxes, you can use it to some other GOOD PURPOSE. Rememoer you can start now to provide any amount for any purpose. Every penny you deposit in this Chib’ is yours when the Club period ends and it draws interest at 3 per cent from the time it is deposited. Come in today and let us talk the matter over.

Mediaeval architecture, crumbled by cannon, will be replaced by well-lighted, well-ventil­ ated, convenient and sanitary building^ of the present day. In this tremendous rebuilding, Certain-teed Roofing will play a leading role; for CERTAIN-TEED is the twentieth century answer to the demand for roofing that is economical to buy, easy to lay and inexpensive to maintain. CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is made in rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles. There is a type of CERTAINTEED for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roof, from the largest sky-scraper down to the smallest residence or out-building. . • It makes a clean, sanitary, attractive roof, with a very low cost per year of life. It is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1,2 or 3). Experience proves that it outlasts the penod of guarantee. If you are interested in roofs, investigate CERTAIN-TEED before you decide upon the type to buy. You will find CER­ TAIN-TEED for sale by responsible dealers all over the world. prepared by the Oeneral'r board of expert chemists.

That’s just as true of Hour, as it is of clothing, shoes, or othefr merchandise. It’s all right too, because they invariably find that trying '‘experimental’’flour is an expensive proposition tor the consumers, because the most of it has to be thrown away, or fed to the chickens. But the more that people experiment with other flours, the more it emphasizes the QUALITY of French’s White Lily; be­ cause those who give it one fair trial "always come back” sooner 01/ later, and better pleased with it than ever before. There are 365 "BREAD DAYS’ in a year, and it only requires just a few days to convince the housewife of the "expense," and the "wasted time" in using flour she doesn’t KNOW about. During our more than 40 years of experience in making French’s White Lily Flour, a great many different brands of flour have been sprung on the market. Many of them were heralded with flam­ ing advertisements; others appeared in gaudy, glittering sacks em­ phasizing the virtues of that particular flour. But actual EXPERIENCE in using flour made in the ordinary mills, will soon convince1 “you that you can’t tell any more about the QUALITY of flour, by reading what is printed on the sack, than you can tell about the "ideas” in a kid’s head by looking at his cranium. If you don’t KNOW French’s White Lily Flour we would like to have you TRY IT OUT. You won’t run any chance whatever. We GUARANTEE the flour to PLEASE YOU. If it doesn’t, all you have to do is to return it to your Grocer and GET YOUR MONEY BACK. , If you have never used it, we don’t ask you to go ahead and buy it by the ton, although you would be perfectly SAFE in doing that —in fact that’s the BEST WAY to buy French’s White Lily, because the longer you keep it the BETTER it becomes; it IMPROVES WITH AGE, as you will find if you will try it. But if you have never used French’s White Lily Flour before, order just a small sack of it, and then try thisxexperiment:—Make a batch of bread from French’s 5Xfliite Lily Flour, and a batch from ANY OTHER FLOUR you may care to select. Put the loaves in the same oven, right side by side, bake them at the same time. That’s a fair, square TEST of the real QUALITY of the flour. It will convince you quicker, and better than anything we tan say, or write, of the TRUTH of what we have been telKng you in our adver­ tisements. French’s White Lily Flour is the BEST flour made, be­ cause it is made in the BEST WAY. We clean our grain better; we put French’s White Lily through 17 SETS OF ROLLS, where­ as the ordinary mills very rarely have more than 3 or 4 sets. Why not order a sack of French’s White Lily?

PAY The Winter’s Supply of Flour Should Be FRENCH’S WHITE LILY It is about time now to prepare for winter- and one of the neces­ sary items is Flour. Any family that has plenty of Good Flour on hand is pretty well provided for. About the most substantial article of food is Good Bread and Butter. Cut out all the "knick-knacks" in the way of articles that have no particular food values and you will be better off; you’ll enjoy better health, you’ll feel better and be betBut you can’t get good results from baking unless you have flour that is always the same. That’s where French’s White Lily Flour has it over other flours—it is "always the same.” You can always de­ pend upon it. The last sack you buy is just like the one you had be­ fore. You don’t have to "guess” whether your baking will be good— you know that it will be. It is all on account of the perfect, system­ atic, and thorough way that we make the flour. Every kernel of wheat that goes through our mill, must go through the same' process as every other kernel. There are no "half way” methods in any of our processes, from cleaning and scouring the wheat, until it all passes through our 17 sets of rolls. When you have a bounteous supply of good flour in the house, you are assured of a good living. Every year there is a constantly in­ creasing number of people who lay in a Winter’s supply of French’s White Lily flour, many of them securing enough to last a whole year.* Why don’t you try it? If you give it one thorough trial, you will r be without it in your home. You will find that it is the best flour you can buy, you will find that it goes farther; you will find that there is no waste. You’ll use every particle. So if you are going to lay in a Winter’s supply of Flour, be sui that it is French’s White Lily. It is the best flour made, and you’ save money by using it. Try it once and see. House and Lot 5^6 W.

The low cost of insurance is due largely to the fact that it has a large membershlp with one overhead expense and one office force. The policy is libera], covering fire and theft in excess of $25 up to $i,ooo, and liability in excess of $25 up to $5,000. Nearly every part of the state is represented in this Company, and all of the leading salesmen, for automobiles are greatly interested in the success of the Company, as they feel that the low .cost of insurance helps the fiale of automobiles. . The Company is now ©quipped to meet all claims and In addition to paying an of their expenses during the past year, have accumulated a surplus of about $35,000.

PAY ^he Cook Demands Quality Flour Salesmanship Is All Right But It's The Quality Of French's White Lily Any good salesman can go out and sell flour whether it is good, bad, or otherwise, but you may be sure of this—no wise or efficient Cook or housewife can be fooled the second time on flour by the best salesman. It is quality and quality only that will keep a flour cus­ tomer. That is the reason why so many homes are using French’s White Lily Flour—It stands the teat.

But more than anything else it depends upon proper MILLING. That’s where KNOWING HOW comes in. It is the cleanest flour on the market because all the grain is washed and polished; all cockle, broken kernels and foul stuff are taken out by special patented machines, which is not done in other mills. Therefore you get all this stuff in the flour those mills make. With our unbroken record of more than 40 years of successful manufacture of French’s White Lily Flour, we have gained a lot of knowledge that you can’t find in books. Every time that you buy a sack of French’s White Lily Flour you get the benefit of that ex- What kind of flour are yoii using?

And lead he does —in volume, quality and price. The General’s leadership is due to the enormous resources ac his command —the five tn's of modern manufacturing — men, money, mills, machinery and materials. Men who have learned the roofing business through years of practical experience arc in charge, of every department of the business. Men who have made a life study of the blending of asphalts comprise the General’s Board of Expert Chemists. Money—the means to promote efficiency, increase out-put, reduce cost, prevent waste —is at the General’s call in abundance. . Mills—the largest roofing mills in the world are the General’s. They are advantageously located at points where cost of fuel, access to raw materials and quick distribution ot of finished products are most favorable. PlMJU COUSXOYKK, Box 239, Machinery—the. most modern known to the roofing business, equips each of the General’s enormous mills. Not a dollar is left unspent which would speed up produc­ tion, increase quality or lower costs. Materials—the food of the mills—is bought by the General in enormous quantities,and stored. This means the pick of the market and favorable buying, and no loss from idle machinery, due to shortage of materials. Thus the success of CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is no secret, but is due to a combin­ ation of resources and experience without parallel in the roofing business. CERTAIN-TEED is made of the best quality roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with a scientific blend of soft aiphalts, the formula, of the General’s board of expert chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the inoar saturation soft and prevents the drying-<ntt so destructive to the ordinary roof. CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for J, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1, 2 of 3>). J Experience proves that it lasts longer. I CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; dsoiJ slate-surfaced shingles. There is a' W&A CERTAIN-TEED for every kind d|BK| ing, with flat or pitched roof, fro^KiyJ scraper to small residence or out-bAfl|H| CERTAIN-TEED is sold by resA^H dealers all over the world, at rMHHHV prices. Investigate it before you decide on any type of rOof.

During the years, not so very far back, fanners gave but little attention to atrjb plying their land with the-necessary "food” which it needed because of continuous cropping. Most fanners did not realise that each crop took out certain qualities from the soil, and as a result most farms throughout the agricultural sections became "run” or worn out Many farms have never recovered from that condition because there has never been put back into the soil those ingredients that were taken out by cropping—most farms have only partially recovered. Homestead Fertilisers are probably doing more for the farmer in assisting him to get his farm up to what it was originally than any one other agency. Many of the farmers of Barry County have proven the worth of Homestead Fertilizers. We buy tills product in carload lots and will be very glad to give you quotations in large lots or small. You ought to use some on your farm. Now is the time to use it. Come and talk with us and we will tell you what Homestead Fertilizers have done for some of your neighbors.

Expert bread makers, the bread makers who have the reputation of making the most delicious bread invariably use Rahim.,re. French’s White Lily Flour It isn’t an experiment with them, they have tried other makes of flour and have convinced themselves beyond a doubt that French’s White Lily Flour is the best at any price. They know that every time they prepare their bak­ ings in the same way that their bakings will be the very best. There is never any change in the quality of French's White Lily Flour. It is always the same and can be depended upon to be the best on the market. If You Are Not Using French’s White Lily Flour Now, You Owe It To Yourself To Give This Flour a Trial Order a sack of French’s White Lily Flour for trial and convince, yourself that there is a difference in flour. It is all that we claim it is, the best flour oh the market and sold at a price no greater than you have to pay for ordinary flour. One sack will convince you, why not order it today?

To the generous value heretofore present in the Maxwell product, these extra 1mprovements have now been added. This is in line with the Maxwell policy—so widely advertised—not to change the luur.weH in any essential detail, but to continue improving it ad that it will always be a standard, recognized product, constantly abreast of the best practices of tiie indue :ry. Notwithstanding, tho superlative arid sometlmes-ctfnfnanig claims that a o made in behalf of various automobile.;, we restate dur sincere conUcfio/i that' Maxwell Motor Cars otter n.ore real oalue per dollar than any other car in the world. This too, ie the belief of the thousands and thousands of Maxwell owners. And these beliefs are supported by actual and tangible facts. V/o actually know that within the entire history of the automo­ bile business, no motor car—in any class or at any price—has equalled the Maxwell in lidnest dollar-for-dollar value. And if you will examine a Maxwell, ride in it, cojuinaro it with other cars, consider its splendid record, reputation and past performances, you too, will know it. Call or phone fqr a demonstration.

That is the kind of coal you will get when you place your coal order with us. We pride ourselves on the fact that during our many years in busi­ ness in Hastings, we have built up an enormous coal trade. We have hun­ dreds of customers in this vicinity who buy coal of us, year after year. Why? Simply because they know when they place their order with us that they will get the best coal on the market, at the Jowest possible price. Taking all things into consideration, we would advise you to place your order early. Coal prices are steadily advancing and if you'want to be assured of youn winter’s supply at today’s prices, you had better, get busy and call and see us or phone 18 and your order will be given our immediate attention. You can place your order now and the coal will be delivered later if you wish so. It’s better to be safe than to be sorry; and if you wait until cold weather before placing your order you will no doubt have to pay a higher price for it. County News . EAST DELTON.

Hastings Samtary Market ’T IT a great satisfaction when you sit down to a meal to feel that the meat is from a market where you . KNOW every step in its killing and curing is taken thru, knowledge of the art and sanitation in handlings ISN Two Things Are Necessary to Give to the Public Clean and Satisfactory Meat Service. KNOWLEDGE, Knowledge of stock is one of the first and most es­ sential qualifications of any good meat man. We, through ' our long experience with and thorough study of stock, are enabled to select the best for tender, juicy meats. We can 'tell through our acquired knowledge whether an animal is in proper condition for the slaughter or not. We DO NOT accept any stock for our market that is pot known to.be . in perfect condition—properly cared for and cleanly 'fed. We take especial care that no head of stock enters our yards unless it is in absolute health. We know how to butcher. ' Every animal killed for our market is butchered by skilled men and no BOTCH job ever goes over our counter. EQUIPMENT No meat market can serve its patrons with clean, wholesome meats unless it is properly equipped with sani­ tary appliances. There is no meat market in Central Michigan better fitted for curing and keeping meats free from all dirt and infection than ours is. A very large out­ lay h'asjseen used in fitting it as it should be. Every de­ partment is kept absolutely clean and sanitary. In the market we have a very large cooler, commodious, and clean where all meats are allowed to cure. This is the largest cooler in Barry Co. Our slaughter house is roomy and clean and there, too, we have every appliance for do­ ing proper sanitdry<butchering. We especially invite you to visit dur different departments any time when it may be convenient for you. * It May Be You Have Not Been Buying Your Meats From Us--Try One Order. essmer oAfhapc The Meat Market Men H W I B I W B W M “ Phone 162 Hastings,EMich.

Arendshorst, General Manager of the Holland Rusk Co., to the Users of HOLLAND RUSK: ' Owing to the extraordinary rise in prices on all materiafejgB|€rtering into the making of Holland Rusk, the Holland Rusk Co^was confronted with two alternatives: to lower the quality of Holland Rusk, or to raise the price. During all the years we have been in business we have prided ourselves on the high quality of Holland Rusk, We have led buyers of Holland Rusk to expect that richness and delicacy of taste that comes only from the use of fresh and highest grade ingredients. We have set a standard we do not wish to lower. We could use cheaper materialsfor substitutes, but the result would not be the Holland Rusk you are accustomed to. We believe the users of Holland Rusk would rather pay a slight increase than have us sacrifice the quality. We have, therefore, de­ cided to maintain the quality and raise the price. Until further notice the price of Holland Rusk will be thirteen cents per package, or two packages for a quarter. The same high cost of raw materials also affects the making of Windmill Cookies. > | Here, too, we will maintain the high quality and raise the price to thirteen cents per package or two for a quarter. j |>i Mra.

We deliberately planned to have it so, because we want above every­ thing else to please and satisfy the “home folks.’’ And the fact that we}have and do maintain the supremacy in the esteem of the house­ wives of Barry county, in spite of the advertising and circular cam­ paigns of outside competitors who have tried in every way to win our customers, is the highest kind of a testimonial to the excellence of French’s White Lily Flour. For you know how apt folks are to think that something that comes from "way off somewhere’’ is bet ter than what they can get at home. And hundreds of our home cus­ tomers have tried other flours, because of glowing claims made, for them. But they have always come back, stronger friends than ever of the dependable flour we make at thin,mill. And so we not only have a steady Barry County flour trade, but a growing one. For our satisfied customers tell their neighbors about the merits of French's White Lily Flour, and so make new friends for it. We have been connected with this mill for over 40 years. If we had not given our customers a “square deal" they would have made their displeasure so pronounced that we would not have been here. Some one else would be making flour here, and they wouldn't dare call that flour the name it has had for over four decades. But these are the facts that account for the popularity of French’s White Lily'Flour. (I ) We get the best Michigan wheat we can buy for it makes the best flour. We have paid a premium to Barry Co. growers to en­ courage the raising of the best grades of wheat. (2) We have had over 40 years experience in flour making, and employ only the best flour makers. ( 3 ) We run our mill night and day by water power, the cheap­ est and steadiest power known, and so our machinery is in the; best possible condition to produce the highest quality of flour. (4) The “overhead” expense is little if any more for 24 hour run than a 10 hour run and this saving we give our customers. (5) When we know of any machine that will improve the quality of our flour, we buy it no matter what it costs, for we are determined to have the best. All these things insure the maintaining of our flour at the highest possible quality; and owning our own plant, water power and running our big mill night and day makes our flour cost little if any more than poorer flours. And there’s none better than French’s White Lily. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor Michigan �THE HASTINGS BANNER tariff bill; it iptmivw lir. OCTOBER 26, 1916.

THE SALOON INTERESTS CALL IT the "Home Rule” amendment. Waq ever term more misapplied! \ LISTEN, HERE’S WHAT it would mean if enacted. 1 IT PROVIDES that "every incorporated city and village and organized town­ ship (get that— “township"!) shall each have the right to determine whether or not there shall be prohibited therein the manufacture and sale of malt, fermented, vinous, distilled or intoxicating liquors I" ANY VILLAGE OR TOWNSHIP, mind you!—how close does that bring the saloon to your own home ? YOU KNOW "PRACTICAL POLITICS" perhaps. Then just consider that by the simple plan of “colonization"—bringing 50 to 75 men (unprincipled hirelings!) into a village or tuwnahip and keeping them there si days, that little district can be voted "Wet.” THE MAJORITIES FOR or against sny. measure in such communities are small. Think how assy it would be, and how cheap considering the stake—to awing the decision for a "Wet" township or village. And 100 “colonists" could swing most cities in Michigan—all but the very largest ones! ' , 14 t ’ WHY IT IS DIABOLICAL in its cunning—nothing leas. IT BEHOOVES YOU. even tho you ere apathetic on the State-Wide Prohi­ bition subject, but do not want a saloon right next door to your home, to read carefully those two ballots. , FOR THERE ARE TWO, and they look so much alike it m impossible to tell which is which, except by reading ths first paragraph (in black type) and the first few words of the second paragraph of both. THEY LOOK ALIKE—BUT what a tremendous difference! THE ONE IS "Amendment to Article XVI of the Constitution," and that provides for the most practical form of State-Wide Prohibition. e THE OTHER IS "Amendment to Article VIII." This is tbs “trick" of the saloons, and if enacted would bring about the worst possible conditions. IT WOULD CREATE LIT1*LE PEST HOLES all over ths State, from which pollution would spread into the surrounding “Dry" territory, and into your very home. READ YOUR BALLOTS CAREFULLY—take your own time about it IT WOULDN’T BE A BAD IDEA to cut this ad'out and, when in the * booth, refer to the directions below and mark your ballots accordingly. AND BE SURE to vote on both ballots. For there’s another catch there. . IF YOU FAIL to vote "No" to the saloon "Amendment to Article VIII," you may be sure the .saloon men and their friends will vote for it—and it might carry. They never fail to vote—it means money to them—much money. SO VOTE "YES" to the "AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE XVI OP THE CONSTITUTION’’—STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION. THEN VOTE "NO" to the "AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE VUL" wM is the scheme of the saloon intaresta. AND WE REPEAT. DON'T FAIL TO VOTE ON VITALI BOTH!

During the time we -have been in operation, the business has far exceeded our expectations and the future looks very bright to us. We are deeply appreciative of the patronage and good will which have been accorded us, and in the months and years to come, hope that this elevator, its commodi­ ties, and its service will keep apace of the times and truly merit your continued friendship and patronage. The policy of this Elevator is to offer the best qual­ ity goods at the lowest possible prices. Our motto will be to give the farmer a square deal at all times. We will pay the highest market prices for Hay, Beans, Rye, Oats and Wheat (One Price to All), correct weights and courte­ ous treatment.

At the present time we have four coal wagons, one flour and feed wagon, which is supplemented by our auto delivery car.

Every voter, wet or dry, who believes in tbe square deal, will vote “NO” on the “wet*1 or so-called “Home Rule” Amendment to Article VIII, Section 30. What is the so-called “home rule” amendment?

The saloon crowd, brewers and distillers. Who are fighting the “home rule” amendment?

IM. And What He Did With It He has not kept ua out of war but he haa kept ua unprepared to keep war out of America. . He promised to reduce the number of federal offlee holders and haa added thirty thouaand to their num­ ber. Hia promise to protect merit in the Civil Service haa been broken.” In time of peace he filled America with bread lines, and demands re-election because in time of war Europe has filled our factories with orders which it will cease to place the moment peace is declared. Destiny not De­ mocracy ia alone responsible for present prosperity. His pledges to reduce the cost of living can be measured today in the light of the highest prices ever known in our history. . He has sown international antagonism which will plague us for generations. He has fathered a Democratic tariff that threw hundreds of thousands of men out of work in the first months of his administration. The same tariff is still in force and it will have the same disastrous results after the war. PRESIDENT WILSON began his administration by sur­ rounding himself with misfits. Men were selected for cabinet positions for political reasons and to pay preelec­ tion bargains, although they were admittedly unfit for the national responsibilities imposed. American lives and national honor on land and sea- have been unprotected. He has destroyed a world tradition in diplomacy .that America means what it says. _. He has alienated from America the good will of most of thenations of Europe. He has dealt insincerely with foreign questions and has failed to settle finally a single one. He has waged war in Mexico in a manner that has stamped our people as cowards in the minds of the Mexi­ cans. He demanded a salute to our flag and didn’t get it; he went after Villa and didn’t get him. • He has allowed Mexican bandits to obtain Ameri­ can arms with which they sacked our towns, killed our sol­ diers and murdered our citizens. family were Hnnday Republican Publicity Committee ittemore and lead. . | Mr. and Mra.

EVEN TF YOU FEEL you .must vote "No” to State-Wide Prohibition, for goodness sake vote "No" to the other also—for that would leave conditions as they arc now, whereas if that saloon Amendment cair­ ned it would bring about the worst possible conditions.

I believe in justice to oureelyes and tp tlie«j)ul)lie, my reasons should Ch given why I make this change. To begin with I make the statement and firmly believe the time has come when a majority of the public tlenmnds a change of this kind. Many of our customers have exprc->ed a desire for a change of this kind during the past few weeks. The time'tb ripe and right in line with the march of progress. . “Business is human Acrdee,” and changing conditions re­ quire revision in thq maimer of doing business. If I can show you that this chaiige will prove iM-nelicial to all aiubsurely to you, then cer­ tainly 1 have done some good. Twenty years ago little thought was given to entering to the “cash trade.” Now half of the merchants tliroughout thb country are selling goods for cash, ami the other half thinking seriously of changing to the cash system. Improved conditions for tho consumer and competition with distant city stores nnd mnil orvlet houses, nre hringing*uhout these change■«. The result is smaller profits for the re­ tailer and a gradual n’alization of the fin-t that he must fight hard to hold and increase his business. Cush is the only weafioB; hence we be­ lieve we must cater to cash trade. ' • visiting *t ter with her daughter. Mr*.

I believe in justice tp ourselves ami to the public, my reasons should be given why I make this, cliauge,. ^To begin with I make the statement (tntl firmly believe the time has come when a majority of the public demands a change of this kind. Many of our customers have expressed a desire for a change of this kind during the past few weeks. The time is ripe and right in line with the march oT progress. “Business is human service,” and clmngifig condrtions re­ quire revision in the manner of doing business. If 1 can show you that this change will prove Beneficial to all and surely to you, then cer­ tainly'1 have done some good. Twenty years ago little thought was given to cateringato the “cash trade.” Now half of the merchants throughout the country are selling goods*for cash, and the other half thinking seriously of changing to the cash systejn. Improved conditions for the consumer f and comiMitition with distant city stores and mail order houses, are bringing about these changes. The result is smaller profits for the re­ tailer and a gradual reafization of the fact that he must fight hard to hold and increase his lousiness. Cash is the only weapon; hence we be­ lieve we must cater to cash trade. the -I —l»urt»c 1* rUitfntf tor W^duXi^ ”’ I tokaibly iu W. daughter Mra.

We have been rewarded for our hard work and can say without any hesitation whatever, that we have a formula now for making flour that we guarantee will make the best bread and pastry you ever ate. This flour needs no introduction, it is FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, and it is used by thousands of families throughout the state of Michigan. They use it because it gives baking results that they are satisfied with. Every sack is the same, no variation and its good all the way through. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR doesn’t cost any more than flour of ah inferi<*r grade costs, it would cost more if we made it in small quantities, but we run day and night and make it in such large lots that we get the cost down to a minimum. Housewives get the benefit of all this, combined with the fact that they are using a flour that has no equal for good baking results. . —Boating stove, dining '.able, sewing machine, Conch and I eabiacl.

Furthermore, experience in Barry Co. has shown that the best buyers at an auction sale are those who corfie from a distance, at­ tracted because they have read about it in the BANNER, and came because they were interested in buying some article or articles listed in the adv. These people would never have heard of the auc­ tion if advertised in the old way with just auction bills, or if advertis­ ed in a paper that covered only a part of the county. % f SpthqiMb- which hr found after mueh labor Ing in Harting* Fri­ of thia place. .

To the housewife who wishes to “keep down cxjumses,’’ it means a great deal; to the housewife anxious to prdvidc'Hie liest bread, cakes amt |>astrle0 for the family, it is most important. . BANNER Keeping down household expenses is really n constant study of values, and buying food tduffs on which economies ran lw made. For instance two pHintof shoos •may be offered nt tS.BB a pair; One pair of them may have 50 per cent more wear in them than the other, ami it would really lw a big saving to buy them. Or two bush­ els of potatoes may be priced the same. There might lie 25^per .rent more “wast­ age’’ in one bushel thnn the other, nnd it would be worth just that much less than the other. It’s just the Baine wny with flour ns it is with potatoes. To the eye, Some other brand of flour may LOOK jivil ns good a.*. French’s .White Lily. But when you come to use the ordinary flour, you would find the “wantage’* to be from 10 to 50 per cent greater than if yon hn«l used French’s White Idly, and your bak­ ings wouhLNEVER be as good. French’s Wlute Lily Flour has hj superior in this countny today, for the reason that there is no mill that has a better equipment, or does its work more thoroughly. Improvements in flour-making machinery have been just as wonderful iu« they jltave been in'any other line of endeavor. The mill that hasn’t a complete eqnipinenf of the latest up-to-date models of flour making machinery is just as badly handicapped as any fanner would lie who had to cut his grain with an old-fashioned “cradle,” and thresh it with n flail. Thera isn’t ONE SINGLE MACHINE in our mill today that wm hero •years ago. Everything has been replaced with the latest improved machine*. * We take MORE PRIDE in the manufacture of French’s White Lily Flour today than we inure ever taken, because it has been our life work, anti there is SATIS­ FACTION in manufacturing a food product that you know has no superior. We have the best skilled help tluit money can eiijploy, nnd there is no detail of mannfacUirc that we overlook. ’ . ■ • . • If you have never tried French’s White Lily Flour, why not order a sack!

In commemoration of an old time custom the Christmas . season is celebrated by exchange of gifts among *~frlends. The time has passed, however, when a gift , is merely some dainty trifle that m eant nothing but . an expression of good will. Gifts ^can be attractive , and .urefuHintf it is to this type of remembrances “7 that gas and electric appliances belong. —— — The gift should, especially among members of the family, be something that will make the burden just a /little easier to bear. What then could be better than a modern GAS RANGE? Think of the load it will ’ lift from .the one who does the kitchen work. Think t of the dirt, the toil and labor it will avoid. Remember too that GAS RANGES will cost more next year. ; A GAS or ELECTRIC TOASTER will be a splendid addition **1# any home. An ELECTRIC HEATING PAD to take the place of the Iflaky hot-water bottle. It gives out an even heat the whole day long at a very low cost. A GAS PANCAKE GRIDDLE or WAFFLE IRON can t , hwlp but be appreciated by every member of the family. These are only a few suggestions, but we would • like tp have you cqll and see the different gifts tWt gas and electricity have to offer and should •you chose to give any of these devices you will bo .. .'•pured that they will'RENDER REAL SERVICE THORNAPPLE GAS A ELECTIC CO.

There is no need of housewives worrying themselves and their family too, as they have done in the past, just because the floyr they were using failed to make good breadline! pastry. That time has passed for there is a flour being used in hundreds * Barry ” rry county of homes in counl at~the present time that is guaranteed to give satisfaction of your money back. This 1 his flour Hour is FRENCH tKfcJNCH ’S 3 WHITE WH11 LILY FLOUR,. and it has been proven the best flour on the market at any price. The manufacturers of this flour know what they are doing and they know that when the housewives once use this popular brand of flour that they will be satis­ fied and will become one of their regular customers. FRENCH'S White Lily Flour Crown is made in Barry county and has been made here for nearly half a century. Could any flour manufacturer stay that long in one location, if he, didn't give the people a flour that was good and wholesome? That's why we want . to impfeea upon your mind that if you are not now using FRENCH'S WHITE EILY fldur you had better get busy and join our happy family of satisfied custome/s.

Hastings Jhe /Hastings CHy ^ank Michigan “Jhe flank Jhat Does things for you” M4MM ***•*#• �E,xa.mple of EJevator Service there’|is a Farmers know the value of Cotton-Seed Meal for stock. But analysis will show that there]ps wide difference in the food value of Cottori-Seed Meal offered for, sqle. We give below a letter which is conclusive proof that WE INSIST UPON FUE BFST OUALITY OF COTTON­ SEED MEAL WHEN WE BUY FOR OUR TRADE. This is the letter: Memphis, Tenn., Deo 2, 19J6. Measfs. Ediqgnds Bros. Hastings, Mich. Gentlemen:Referring to your telegram even date with ■ reference to your car of Cottonseed Meal. It is true that we promised your shipment long before this, and . we had every reason to expect that we would make ship­ ment, but you may be surprised in knowing that in order that we might be sure of the quality which we have sold you we have had to change this order no less that three different times with as many different miHs. In sev­ eral instances the mill had the meal loaded’in the car, had the stuff analyzed and discovered that the analysis was not up to what they had sold, therefore could not ship, it, and this has been a repitition of a number of .tipes. We have at last, however, gotten the order with ..a.mill that says they have the stuff and want to ship •( 'promptly, and we have instructed them to give your order ■ preferred attention. ■ The question of quality, car shortage find embargo has about driven us crazy. We are sorry that your order has bden delayed in this manner, but it has _no.t \een intentional by any means?' We should have ^documents now the first of the week.* * Yours truly, • • HUMPHREYS GODWIN CO. ACW/B , Bui that isn’t all we do. We* ordered two cars of —— . Meal of the right quality when the price was lower than it now is. could today sell the two cars we bought, and which are now on the way, M. P. Car No. 37,195 and N. & W. Car No. 61,964, at whole­ sale at a profit of $50 per car above the price we propose to ask the farmers of Barry Co. for the two cars.., As long as our supply lasts the price we will make is ' $42.00 PER TON to the farmers who,come and will let us unload from the cars pi wagons. Our . supply . is limited to .the two cars. If ..we 1 day’s market we would have Co to pay $44.50 per ton. ‘ ,, The ttvo cars should arrive at our siding by the time thq Banner reaches its readers. • But to make sure of its being hare, just, ( call us by phdne before -driving, to the elevritcir. This offer of these two cars to our trade at $2.50 per ton less than the wholesale price today is an example of the service in, the ■ way qf fair prices and a square deal which we are giving our 00810- ', mers. We can make a fair profit and seif this meal at $42.00, and’ 1 give our .patrons a chance st a real bargain in one of the bqst? stock foods they can buy; and wi prefer to do that rather than nrake an additional profit of $50 per e£r. We expect to remain right here m business, and we. fully reauzifthat we must give our patrons the best possible service and the* best possible satisfaction; and we are Con- j tent to do that rather than take advantage of an opportunity^ for u still greater’profit. » . , BUT DON’T NEGLECT THE CHANCE TO BUY COTTONSEED MEAL NOW AT 342.00 PER TON, AS LONG-AS OUR SUP­ PLY LASTS. WHEN OUR TWO CARS ARE SOLD YOU Wil.L HAVE TO PAY MORE. .4 illlSH’ I EDMONDS BROTHERS Barry County’s Biggest Elevator Phone 18 »♦*<<........................... - School Reports Todd, Kenneth and William Schantz.

So simple is it that the reader may^disdain it as mefe preaching. None the less, the profound truth abides eternally, that real greatness comes through steady service. Not every­ body may serve conspicuously, and there is no warbut we^arytot-considering the fame of service, but the greatness of service. Patiently, tirelessly, alert4y,-<o seek out ways of being helpful is the one divine mark of the truly great character. Not only does greatness come by service; but service proves great­ ness. A petty person cannot rise to this coaception of pouring out his powers in service that is not taint­ ed by any tinge of self-seeking. Whoever lives to serve finds himself in the train of that Greatest of men. who cried, “I am among you as one that serv- * And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in.the field, keeping.watch over their flock by night.

This is a day for magnifying the blessings of peace, not selfishly, but with the rejoicing that should attend the reminder that we have a cure for the troubles of the, world and a part in the spread­ ing of the remedy.” Let the songs of joy be carried into every comer of gloom. If peace is to achieve victory, its spirit of gladness must be irrepressible. No less today than two thousand years ago is at the mission of peace to show by example that in good will alone lie# the happiness of the people.

We give below a letter which is conclusive proof that WE INSIST UPON THE BEST QUALITY OF COTTON­ SEED MEAL WHEN WE BUY FOR OUR TRADE. This is the letter: '’ . ■ * Since our advertisement in the BANNER last week we have received M. P. car No. 37,195 loaded with cotton seed meal and it is nearly gone. It is gratifying to us to be able to save the fanners money on .this excellent stock food. Farmers from west of Middle­ ville, east of Nashville, north of Freeport and south of Dowling and Delton have purchased from this first carload of cottonseed meat However the second car has not arrived and we will maintain the old price as long as the car lasts, * tl’*11101 , $42.00 PER TON to the farmers who come and will let us unload from the cars onto their wagons. Our supply is limited to the two cars. If we bought on to­ day’s market we would have to pay $44.50 per ton. The second car should arrive at our siding by the time the Banner reaches its readers. But to make sure of its being here, just call us by phone before: driving to the elevator. This offer of these two cars to our trade at $2.50 per ton less than the wholesale price today is an example of the service in the way of fair prices and a square deal which we are giving our custo­ mers. We can make a fair profit and sell this meal at $42.00, and give our patrons a chance at a real bargain in one of the best stock foods they can buy: and we prefer to do that rather than make an additional profit of $50 per car. We expect to remain right here in business, and we fully realize that we must give our patrons the best possible service and the best possible satisfaction; and we are content to do that rather than take advantage of an opportunity for a r x still greater profit. _ BUT DON’T, NEGLECT THE CHANCE TO BUY COTTONSEED MEAL NOW AT $42.00 PER TONKAS LONG AS OUR SUP­ PLY LASTS. WHEN OUR TWO CARS ARE SOLD YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY MORE. L 11£IH . ' 4 Memphis, Tenn., Dec 2, 1916. Messrs. Edmonds Bros., ■ . -ttastinge, Mich. ' ' . Gentlemen:. ■ Referring to your telegram?even date wi th reference to your car of Cottonseed Meal. It is.true that we promised, your shipment.long before this, and we had every reason to expect that we.would make ship­ ment, but you may be surprised,in knowing that .in order that we might be sure of the quality which we have sold you we have had to change this order no less that three different times with as many different mills. In sev­ eral instances the mill had the meal loaded in the car, * had the stuff analyzed and discovered that the analysis was not up to what they had sold, therefore could.not ship it,- and this has been a rep-ititiqn of a number of times. We have at last, however, gotten- the order with a mill that says they have the stuff and want to ship promptly, and we have' instructed them to give your order preferred attention. - . The question of quality, car shortage and ' embargo has about driven' us crazy. We are sorry that vyour order has been delayed in thia manner, but it. has ■ nq\ been intentional ■by any means.

A MASTER TOUCH IN THE MOVTEB Before each a presentation as that given ’’The Crisis," al! the criticisms of the movies lose their' foree. Tt is a remarkable assembly of appeals to the many aides of the human mind. The physical representation of Lincoln was startling in its faithfulness, the resemblance being perfect, and in the action of the play tho actor approached most satisfactorily the proper pose ' and expression. This sinulsrity was also present in the make-up of the impatient Gen. Sherman, and even extended to other historical characters pre­ sented in the play. But greater than in the faithfulnesa of these details was tho power of lhe play on tho affections on tho sympathies and on the repugnant. It re­ produces the very atmosphere of the days “be­ fore the war,*'—in lhe bitter quarrels between the two high-minded gentlemen of the play, in the acene uf the slave auction, and in the beautiful relations between the favored house slaves and tbeir beloved master* and mistresses In the final face<ell given the dying judge by his freed negro servant there was such grieving adoration that J2J~ F Positively The Greatest Picture Ever Shown in Hastings To Hastings ■ Theatre Goers JOHN H.

Ink We want to take this occasion to thank our many friends and users of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR in Barry County and throughout the state for their very gen­ erous patronage during the year just closing. The year 1916 has been a very Successful one and the best in the history of this mill. Our records show that there has been more of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR used the past year than ever before. We are thankful for this and it has amply reward­ ed our efforts to make FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, a flour that would give satisfactory baking re­ sults at all times. , Into every pound of French’s White Lily Flour that has been sold have gone our very best efforts, and the accumulated experience of more than 41 years in the exclusive manufacture of French’s White Lily Flour. That experience has been most valuable to us; it is really a great asset to.this mill; and it is of benefit to every user of French’s White Lily. The work of making flour is similar in many ways to work in any other line—THERE IS ALWAYS SOME­ THING NEW TO LEARN. The many "pointers’’ we have picked up; the many little things we have discovered, by means of which we could IMPROVE the QUALITY of our output, are really of PUBLIC BENEFIT becadse it has given a BETTER FLOUR without increasing the coat in any way. There is really a great satisfaction in making a food product that meets, with popular favor. There is great pleasure in knowing that French's White Lily Flodr has the reputation of being the BEST flour on the market for general household uses; that bread made from it tends to make the strong, robust men and women of the future; that it ebsts no more than ordinary flour. . So we close the year 1916 with the kindest wishes to all for a Happy and Prosperous New Year and thanks for the many favors shown French’s White Lily during the year just ending. . / The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville �GS BANNER UK Jiappy /fey year OUR INDUSTRIES Ing Week Of hrift Christ mas Club Deposit* are arranged to *tart the week of December 27th, on Thrift Card* for Christmas, because thi* will make fifty weekly payments mature the Club Fund just at the-right time for Christmas |>ext year.

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