You will try and figure out xvays whereby you ” can “cut the corners” on expenses, if you can—ahd 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 "mak­ ing money" by paying twice as much for the same quan­ tity. 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 BETTER 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 BET­ TER VALUE, because it is MADE better. The grain • from which French’s White Lily Flour is made is put through I 7 sets of rolls, while other flours are only put through 3 or 4 sets of rolls. French’s White Lily is reauc- ' ed to a smooth, even granulation; other flours are not. \ TK. 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 dq 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 ayay, You cannot make a good, even loaf of bread unless the flour you use is made of a^n even granulation. • Na flour can be made BETTER, or with MORE CARE, than French’s White Lily. When it has passed through the 17 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 comers’ on your living expenses and at the same time get the best values for your money, why not bqgin the New Year right by ordering French’s White Lily Flour? You’ll have better bread, cakes and pastries in your home add you’ll SAVE MONEY by doing it Why don’t you try it? Why not order a sack today? K.,,„ M„,.

Our talk is about a flour we know you will be interested in. There’s a Reason For our wanting to impress it upon your mind that FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is different than a great many other brands of flour. From experience we have found out that people who never used this flour be­ fore and have purchased a trial sack, have been so well satisfied with the baking results they obtained they could not be induced to change back to any other brand. This same thing happened to a great many people years, ago are and they are still using French’s White Lily well satisfied with it Don’t Experiment If you are interest*! in saving time and money, don’t ex­ periment with other brands of flour when you can get FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR that ia guaranteed to give satisfaction. Ask almost any housewife and she will tell you she is either using or is going to use FRENCH’S experiences attached to using brands of flour she knows nothing about. < We are just as anxious to have you satisfied with FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR as we are to have you try it and we have spared no expense in making it aB good as could be made and we are glad to back it up with our guarantee.

Absurdity could hardly go to greater length*.

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 rusfied through the rolls so rapidly that it is impossible to bring it down to a smooth, 'i, even granulation. There will be large ’’chunks,” small particles; it will not absorb the yeast and liquid apd sm; 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. jiflHH. % 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 Flour. It is not like the or­ dinary flour. We clean our grain better, and we put it through 1 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 able to clean our grain better, put it through 17 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. That that moi athlete, joining i the man 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?

The whole Rexall proposition is founded upon co-operation with a view to cutting down expenses and giving the purchaser of Rexall goods either a LOWER PRICE o. a BETTER VALUE FOR THEIR MONEY. There can only be one "Rexall Store" ina 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 ONLYthe most prominent ^Druggists are accepted.

T.ederlc then spoke along the Detroit, idea of a udder use of the new school Have you ever thought what the small bits of money you have “foolishly" expended, would amount to‘in iust ONE YEAR? Thtf amount would certainly “SUR"PRISE" you. The young man who spends his "pennies” foolishly, will soon get in the habit of spending his “dol­ lars" foolishly. The time to LEARN TO SAVE is in the early years of life, before extravagant “habiW” are form­ ed. One of the great lessons of life is to learn that "pen­ nies make dollars"—and dollars make "INDEPEN­ DENCE." The poverty and improvidence of a large number of people is not due so much to a DESIRE to spend every cent they EARN, as to their failure to understand the VALUE of "SMALL ECONOMIES.” If a start had been made, no matter HOW SMALL,- of “laying aside" a small portion of their income EACH WEEK, or EACH MONTH, the . lessons of THRIFT and ECONOMY would have been learned. “ <\ *. Our Savings Department is an ideal place in which to start an account that may lay the FOUNDATION of your fortune. Deposits of ONE DOLLAR OR MORE will be re­ ceived and we will pay you 3 PER CENT INTEREST, COMPOUNDED TWICE A YEAR. We have started a lot of people in the RIGHT DL RECTION. Some had never before saved anything—and a great many had never adopted a SYSTEMATIC METHOD, or “HABIT," of saving—because they had never given the matter serious consideration. But it is the "SYSTEMATIC METHOD" of Saving that "COUNTS," and if every man, woman, boy or girl, could be imbued with THAT FACT, it could not help but have a most wholesome effect on the fu’ure career of the one who adopts it. The future would be assured and you will prepared for any contingency that may arise. • ___ _ Hastings City Bank rv nopu- he canid then »nr nothing enueerning aehinrry “The Bank That Does Things For You” PHONE 3 County News eeived by Highway Commiasiener Rog­ routed hia plana for n wider use of the ers.

The fact is that Hour has reached such a high price that it stands every housewife in hand to thoroughly investigate the fact that nearly all the best cooks use ictc. i>. it.\ French s'™'Flour I ■ . ■ - ■ • ', And the further fact that more of it is sold in Barry County than all other flours combined, is one of the best arguments why you should give FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR a thorough trial. If you will make a batc^h of ■ * ll jI 'j dough from the ordinary flour and a batch from FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, bake them side by side in yourown oven, you will better appreciate what a big value this flour is for the money. Notwithstanding the fact that we have our mill right in Barry County, we can truthfully say that it would be impossible for you to find a flour that would give such baking results and real satisfaction as FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR will give you at all times.

These pianos are all brand new instruments but discontinued styles—this applies only to case designs. No one but an expert could detect the style change. Please remember that the tone quality is not effected in the least. Never in the history of Piano Selling has such an opportunity presented itself to prospective piano buyers, not only because the Pianos offered at this great sale are reduced 20 per cent, and in some instances 30 per cent, but the greater reason for this wonderful op­ portunity is this:—Every Piano Manufacturer of note lias increased the price of their product owing to higher cost of material, etc. The reduc­ tions made on these Pianos are from the prices before the advance took place, so it rCally gives you A DOUBLE DISCOUNT Yankeo Spring* y 3 N. lUB#r ilien, containing BARGAINS Players at-------- --- 1395 Players at................ $425 Knnbe, Sohmer, Vose, Sterling, Slioniuger, Smith & Barnes, Huntington, Werner and the Great Aeolian Company, manu­ facturers of the celebrated Pianola Player Piano. 10s at.................. $210 Players at..—.....$440 Players at-------- ----$465 EABY TERMS Free Music, Scarf and Bench Yon can buy the Piano or Player Piano you have been wanting to own at a lower price than ever. iiealion Serial No. MM I, 143 acre*.

Claim, <1 chairman isn appointed t and Smith, to Have you ever thought what the small bits of money you have "foolishly” expended, would amount to in iust ONE YEAR? The amount would certainly "SUR­ PRISE" you. The young man who spends his "pennies" foolishly, will soon get in the habit of spending his “dol­ lars" foolishly. The time to LEARN TO SAVE is in the early years of life, before extravagant "habits" are form­ ed. One of the great lessons of life is to learn that "pen­ nies make dollars"—and dollars make "INDEPEN­ DENCE." * The poverty and improvidence of a large number of people is not due so much to a DESIRE to spend every cent they EARN, as to their failure to understand the VALUE of "SMALL ECONOMIES." If a start had been made, no matter HOW SMALL,, of "laying aside" a small portion of their income EACH WEEK, or- EACH . MONTH, the lessons of THRIFT and ECONOMY would have been learned. Our Savings Department is an ideal place in which to start an account that may lay the FOUNDATION of your fortune. Deposits of ONE DOLLAR OR MORE will be re­ ceived arid we will pay you 3 PER CENT . INTEREST, COMPOUNDED TWICE A YEARWe have started a lot of people in the RIGHT DI­ RECTION. Some had never before saved anything—and a great many had never adopted a SYSTEMATIC METHOD, or "HABIT," of saving—because they had never given the matter serious consideration. But it is the "SYSTEMATIC METHOD" of Savin® that “COUNTS," and if every man, woman, boy or girl, could be imbued with THAT FACT, it could not help but have a most wholesome effect on the fu'ure career of the one who adopts it The future would be assured and you will be prepared for any contingency that may arise. tl<* count. which mar become mp'lrr at the court c on nilacllaneu.ia -uits through chairman aiibtnltt.<l th.- following re­ Honorable Hoard of HupervlsIt ten on miscellaneous -counts respectfully sub­ ring as their partial rei-ndlntt the allowance of E T.

At the sensationally low prices we are quoting there ought not to be a coat In our store ' a week or ten days from now.

More French’s White Lily Flour is used in Barry Co., than of all other flours combined. Investigation will dis­ close the fact that the housewives of Barry County did not commence to use’it by accident, or by chance. They used it after they, had been CONVINCED beyond the shadow of a doubt that it is the BEST FLOUR MADE for HOME BAKING. They found that when they bought French’s White Lily that they got MORE than just plain flour. They found it to be different than other flours—it was BE l l ER. They found that they could always DEPEND UPON IT; that when they prepared their bakings in the same way that RESULTS would always be the same—always good. They found that when they used other flours they were NEVER sure of what the outcome would be. Sometimes the bakings would be fairly good, at other times they would be bad. It is not an easy matter to intelligently explain the various processes of making flour. But if flour users could go through this mill and see for themselves the sup­ erior methods we employ, over what will be found in any other mill, they could easily understand WHY the QUAL1TY of French’s White Lily Flour is so much BE I TER than other flours. They could see that we “work’’ our product fivenr^ix times as much as is done in the ordinary mill; that we lay great stress on CLEANING THE GRAIN; that we put it through ! 7 sets of rolls, whereas ordinary flour is put through from three to fiVe sets of rolls. The extra work that we pilt on French’s White Lily Flour and the extra care that we give, COSTS YOU NOTHING. You can buy French’s white Lily Flour at your Grocers, or at youfr elevator, for the same money, or even less money, than you have to pay for ordinary flour. When you buy French’s White Lily YOU GET A BETTER VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. You will have BETTER food for your family, and you’ll SAVE MONEY IN THE TRANSACTION. This new year will be a good time for you to give French’s White Lily a trial.* You^will be as thousands of others have been; thoroughly delighted with RESULTS, and you’ll wonder why you hadn’t started using it before.

How About Your Children? fect rqpiaia* th.14 a reputation fur m-- it filled with Christ’a spirit of true neighborliness. ilcsiraldc inlxir ARNELL WOLFE HEADS What will the future have for them? Did you ever think that a SAVINGS ACCOUNT*, started NOW, might pay their way through college a few years hence, or might start them 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 them in every way possible. • The very "hardest thing" about saving money is GETTING STARTED, and "get­ ting started" is a good “90-per cent start" on the road to “SUCCESS.” A good account start­ ed now will encourage your child to form the "HABIT" of saving. They will take an interest in making the account GROW. You KNOW how a little loose change in children’s clothes "burns holes" in their pockets. Unless you encourage them in habits of thrift and saving, they will easily fall into the habit of spending theif money just as fast as they make it—and a boy cannot make a greater mistake. A good many parents have opened accounts for their children, Why Don’t You? , , THE EPWORTH LEAGUE Sorority and League Decide to Merge. Will Hold Monthly Social Meeting.

Mortgage* Undoubtedly the Industry’s Crowning Achievement From your point of view this announcement is most important. rai For herein we set forth the achievement toward which this company has aimed for the last eight years. This achievement in a word is the completion of our gigantic organization to a point where we can make and market a complete line of automo­ biles under one head. This means the elimination of all waste, all lost motion and much greater factory efficiency. This means an even higher grade of cars at much more attractive prices. All of which means a substantial saving for you on the next car you buy. For now and for the first time in the history of the automobile business we as one single organiza­ tion offer the public a full and complete line of automobiles. This concentration—this greater efficiency—this more effective means of pulling together is going to set a new standard of iotfr priced high-grade" automobile values. For we operate On the basis of- —one executive organization —one factory management —one purchasing.unit —one sales expense —one group of dealers to plan, produce and sell all Overland, Willys and Willys-Knight models. Buying power is concentrated. Costs are dis­ tributed over all these cars. The savings are As a result we are producing cars of exceptional quality—and marketing them at unusually low prices. Every car is built to a rigid standard of per­ formance, comfort and appearance. The new models are listed in this announcement. They include Overland models from the snappy comfortable $665 Light Four to the beautiful Light Six Sedan at $1585. They include also the big, handsome WillysKnights from the Four at $1285, to the super efficient Eight at $1950. These new models establish price records, value records and performance records which we believe will prove to the public conclusively that the vast economies of vast production are the key note and manufacturing secret of the greatest value for the least emount of money. .

Did you ever think that a SAVINGS ACCOUNT, started NOW. might pay their way through college a few years hence, or might start them in business with a fair working capital? Putting ih a email amount each week really wouldn't affect YOU at all, but think what a help it would be to your boy—or yoirr girl. The child's future is the most sacred duty of a parent, and you »hould aid them in every way possible. The Very “hardest thing" about saving money is GETTING STARTED, and "get­ ting Started" is a good "90-per cent start" on the road to "SUCCESS." A good account start­ ed now will encourage your child to form the "HABIT" of saving. They will take an interest in making the account GROW. . You KNOW how a little loose change in children's clothes "bums holes” in their pockets. Unless you encourage them in habits of thrift and saving, they will easily fall into the habit of spending their money ju*t as fast as they make 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 mon­ ey here is just as SAFE as it would be if the Government had it t 7 Hastings City Bank 'TFJE BANK THAT DOES THINGS FOR YOU’' Hastings, Mich.

Adv. j Quaker Oats Pettijohn’s The Extra-Delicious Vim-Food Flaked from Queen Oats Only Rolled Wheat with 25% Bran Flakes A Modern Bran Dainty All the world over Quaker Oats holds first place amone eht for.dt. Oat lovers of a hundred nations send to us to get it. A^billion dishes arc consumed each year. Nowhere in the world do connoisbpurs find any oat food to compare with it. The reason is this: Quaker Oats is made from queen grains only—just the big, plump, luscious oats. No puny btarved- grains arc included. A bushel of the choicest oats yields only ten pounds, of Quaker. The result is a flavor which has won the world—a flavor which is match­ less. Yet these large and luscious flakes cost you no'exira'-pricc. Nature stores in oats a wealth of vitality which everybody needs. Wc want you to know this fascinating .vim-focxi, made as wc make it and cooked in our way. Every doctor advises bran, as essential to right living. It is Nature's laxative. Everybody every day should eat it. It means better health, brtter spirits, sunnier days. Without it, our diet of fine food forces folks to drugs. IVHijohn’s is made to meet doctors* requirements. The bran is hidden iii flavorj’ flakes of wheat. \Thc food is a morning dainty which everybody likes. Yet it contains 25 per cent tender bran. The bran is in flake form, which makes it doubly efficient. Ground bran will not du . Try Pettijohn's one week. Note its delightful effects. Never again will you go back to a branlcss diet. Then fry Pettijohn’s Flour. It is 75 per cent fine patent flour mixed with 25 per cent bran flakes. Use it like Graham flour in any recipe.

T. With Ordinary Attention By The Housewife It would not and could not be true that there would be more of French’s White Lily Flour used in Burry County than of all other flours combined if then* were not sound reasons for such an overwhelm­ ing preference by the housewives of Barry county; There is no ac­ counting for it except hy the one fact of MEH IT. We have manufac­ tured flour in this mill for over 4(1 years. It is generally the fact that the product of a local manufacturing institution is not apt to be popu­ lar in the local territory. There is npt to be a preference for tho out­ sider, becauM* of the more extravagant claims made for his product, itnil hecniiM* nonnln think flint sninnf liinrr" mA.Ia "n-nv a FT” somewhere is mon* desirable than what.is made at home. And yet in the face of that fart this mill has been operated here steadily for near­ ly 42 years, nml all that time French’s White Lily Flour bus fiteadily grown in favor with the practical (cooks of Barry county. They have tried it and found it always dependable. They kqpw, when they plan for making bread or Juist ry with French’s White Lily Flour, that they are not going to he disappointed in the baking. NOTICE We ask all people indsbled fo us, to call at Ww* and settle by cash THAT’S THE WHY OF IT It is not an accident that French’s White Lily Flour has so grown in popularity that the demand for it in Barn” county ex­ ceeds that for all other makes of flour combined. Wo deliberately planned to have it so, nnd therefore are not surprised that it is so. And the same causes that have made French’s White Lily popular in the home county have made it popular outside as well, as is evidenced by the fact that, in order to meet the demands for it, we have to run our big mill night and day the yearTound. ... The reasons for the superiority of French’s White Lily Flour arc these: An equipment that is complete in every detail, and that represents the last worth in flour making.' . We operate this mill night and day with water power, the steadiest and most satisfactory power known. ' We buy only the best winter wheat, and have for years paid a premium for extra quality of wheat. You can’t make good flour from poor grain. The best is none too good for French’s White Lily Flour. By owning our own mill, water power and complete elec­ trical equipment, by operating this large mill night and day, we are enabled to double the output with almost no inereaae in overhead ex­ penses. Thus we can afford to sell French’s White LHy Flour, despite its superior quality and the”better milling we give it, at no greater price than others ask fop. inferior (lours. . , ORDER A SACK TODAY The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R.

There never was a time in the liistory of this ^ounty when Dairying was as profitable as right now. Bar­ ry county is especially favored us u profitable market for the farmer who keeps dairy cows. We have sue creamer­ ies and a condeusary in Bnny county, edmpeting actively for milk and cream, ami the price level has raised large­ ly since the new condensaty located in Hastings and began business here. A good market for nil time is now tts- cured. This elevator sees in this situation an opportunity for splendid special service, which we can jemier the dairy interests, and stock interests of Barry county generally; and we have gladly put ourselves m d position to sene the many enterprising farmers in Barry County, who have put, or are putting, themselves in shape to specialize iu dairying. The wisdom of that course for the farmer who can do it is very evident. He is thereby adding to the fertility^of his farm by feeding his soil the fertilizers from his own herd. He is also reaping a splendid and steady profit ALL THROUGH THE YEAR. Every week brings him a substantial cheek for his ' milk or cream. A cow in a modern dairy is just a machine for producing milk. .She must be kept in the right condition, and her ration must bo Hie kind that will givelho largest quantity of milk at the lowest cost. We have lutd years of successful experience in handling stock for market and dairying, and we make a study of it. There are foods designed to kebp a dairy cow in the best of condition which have been .tested and have proven aatirfactory in every way. There are foods designed to increase the flow of milk, which are known to produce that result at a minimum cost. Aiid'then there are the regular feeds, such ns bran, middlings, grountl feetl, cotton seed meal, etc. We have made stock foods business a big department in our business. We buy in large quan­ tities, so as to get the lowest prices and best discounts. We sell to our customers on a narrow margin, because we are after a big volume of business, and that is the only way to get it. Are you interested now in dairying! Are you considering it! In either event come in ngd, ly’t tif^alk over the slock feed proposition. We know we can serve you to your entire satis_ faction. - Thatfs why we are here. • EDMONDS BROS Barry County’s Big Elevator Phone 18 CAREY U. EDMONDS, Prop.

Clement and Millard-McElwain, sons of Mr., and Mrs. John McElwain, of Lansing, former well-known residents of this city, were recently promoted to well merited and lucrative positions. Clement McElwain, who was for sever­ al years city editor of the Lansing Journal, gave up that job two years ngo to engage in advertising business in Detroit. He has now given up that position in orjjer that he might be­ come asaoeiatsd with a newly organ* ixed advertising agenev in Leasing. The position is an excellent one. Mil­ lard McElwain who has been in the employ nf a New York corporation, proved himself such a valuable employe that he has been given charge of a branch in Cleveland.

We never had a finer assortment of Suits and Coats from the best and leading manufacturers. Sunshine Coats and Suits set the styles and when you buy a Sunshine garment, you will know it’s the right style with the best pos­ sible workmanship you can get. • .

The coats are divided into thfte classes, short coats, almost finger tip lengths, medium or knee length and seven-eighth lengths, showing but an inch or two of the skirt. While thrfre is considerable sweep around the bottom, much of the fullness is taken up in pleats that extend sometimes from the waistline and sometimes from the yoke to the bottom of the coat. Most of the collars are large, but nearly always made convertible, so that they may be worn open or closed. The materials are wool -velour, poplin, serge,'’novelty, worsteds, gaberdine, checks and plaids and silks. Cclors most popular being apple green, mustard, gold battleship frray and burgundy.

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 nbout that batch of bread that was so heavy ami soggy that the most of it find 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 YOl’K TIME as weH. Don’t you count vonr time WORTH ANYTHING! You surely ought to. It would.COST MONEY to get anyone to do the work you are doing. • > The renl fact is that the actual cost of the flour and the time you THREW AWAY on one baking, would MOKE than make up the difference betwp«n the cost of the sack of poor Hour you bought, and a sack of French’s Wliito Lily—the BEST flour vour money can buy. No doubt when you threwtiway your baking yon disTiiisM?<i the subject from your urine} with the thought flint it was only ■_ Another case of “ba<kli»M<.” 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 lie “RUSHED” through three or four sets of rolls in order to get out a PRODUCTION that will be PROFITABLE,, you cannot expect to get n good, smooth, even QUALITY of flour. You certainly, would not expect .a good batch of bread from dough that had been “kneaded” only about a quarter as much as it should Imve been. Then why expect to make good bread from flour that has been rushed through a mill, and is really only about one-quarter manu­ factured! French’s White Lily Flour is put through 17 sets of rolls. Flour in the ordinary mills is put through from three to five sets. French’s White Lily’goes through a gradual reduction, every particle of flour going through the same process until it finally comes out in a perfectly smooth, even granulation. 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 uniformity. If you could take a trip through this big mill, and com­ pare our process with others, you could readily see the difference be­ tween our process and others. If you’ve beeu qsing ordinary flour, and will tty a sack of French’s While Lily, you will readily see the difference between it and the ordinary flour. French’s White Lily is much better, but it doesn’t cost you any more. Why not order a sack next time! Waatefl—Tr> exehatwe Toulouse 'Hinder The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.

THERE’S NO ”IF” ABOUT IT HERE SOME RINGING RESOLUIONS PASSED BY CONVENTION There never was a time in the history of this county when Dairying was as profitable as rightnow. Bar­ ry county is especially favored as a profitable market for the fanner who keeps dairy sows. We have six creamer­ ies and a condensary in Barry county, competing actively for milk and cream, and the price level has raised large­ ly since the new condensary located in Hastings and began business here. A good market forull time is now as­ sured. . This elevator sees in this situation an opportunity for splendid special service, which we can render the dairy interests, and stock interests of Barry county generally; and we have gladly put ourselves in a position to serve the many enterprising fanners in Barry County, who have put, or are putting, themselves in shape to specialize in dairying. The wisdom of that course for the farmer who can do it is very evident. He is thereby adding to the fertility of his farm by feeding his soil the fertilizers from his own herd. He is also reaping a splendid and steady profit ALL THROUGH THE YEAR? Every week brings him a substantial check for his milk or cream. Enthusiastic Speeches Made by Chairman W. W.

A cow in a modem dairy is just a machine for producing milk. She must be kept in the right condition, and her ration must lie the kind that will givethe largest quantity of milk at the lowest cost. We have had years of successful experience in handling stock for market and dairying, and we make a study of it There are-foods designed to keep a dairy cow in the best of condition which have been tested nnd have proven satisfactory in every way. There are foods designed to increase the flow of milk, which are known to produce that result at a minimum cost. And then there orc the regular feeds, such as bran, middlings, ground feed, cotton seed meal, etc. It’s all your own fault if you are not enjoying the beat eats. They may be had here for the asking.

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 grain is left. r . 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 ofvflouring mills where quantity of flour manufactured, rather than quality, is considered, a lot of foul stuff is not only left in the wheat, but a lot of dirt, dust and filth are left on the wheat kernels because.it takes a lot of time to clean wheat right, and requires special ma­ chinery 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 quality 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 *—My tea acre* with bulldinj m north, 1-4 mile caat of Nm Addreae MH. Mary Wilkins Kite, Mlth2w 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-yoy are getting. You know that you are getting a cleaner and better flour, and one that is not touched by human hands from the time the wheat is dump­ ed into , our hoppers until the sack is delivered at your home. If you are nqt particular about the flour you buy, then the care we exercise in cleaning the grain, and the sani­ tary methods we follow iq 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 quality, purity and cleanliness that is a valuable asset to this busi­ ness, 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 superior quality and will make you a constant friend.1 The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.' FRENCH.

Here are some facts and figures that every young man and woman should read carefully For the young man who thinks It Is a “MANLY” thing to spend money freely, who “SNEER$" at the thrifty person as “STINGY and MEAN” here are facts he may digest with profit. These facts mid figures ure not mere estimates. They nre taken from Government Census Statistics, and are arranged and given out by the American Society of Thrift, a society organized by some representative business men, who see a real danger to our Nation in the American tendency to “wastefulness.” Mr*.

Fox. 3RD—Only 9 persons in 100 have more than $5,000 when they die. 4TH—Only 2 persons in 100 may be classed as 4 - well-.' to-do. ’ ’ The other 98 have only their wages from day to day, or are dependent upon rel­ atives or upon charity. 5TH—Of every 100 persons who reach the age of 65, no fewer than 97 are partly or wholly de­ pendent upon relatives, friends, or charity, for food, clothing and shelter. It will be seen from these figures that thrift is a virtue that needs to be taught to young people. The boy who squanders his youth in riotous living, expecting chance, or luck, to bring him a for­ tune later in life, should study these figures until he learns that ho Iran just nine chances in 100 to ever accumulate $0,000, or more, and that if he is to be one of the fortunate ones he must begin early to save. If you nre a young man, earning a good salary, and spend­ ing your money as fast as you make it, just study these facts and you can quickly tell where you’ll “get off nt.” • 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, ns a good many young men are now doing. . On all the deposits you make we will pay you 3 per cent interest, ami compound the interest twice each year. Thus your money will work for you every hour, day and night, nnd you will be surprised how your money will grow.

Gesler farm, on-Sec., y, Baltimore township, on ' THE SUCCESS OF THIS BUSINESS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY RENDER A SERVICE WORTH WHILE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AT ALL TIMES Friday, March 16, 1917 ‘ When yeu go into any establishment, and pay your good money for com­ modities 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 orders," ho matter what the quality is 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 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 necesary 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 ordi. nary, don’t hesitate to ask us for it, and if it is within our power to give it, you ahall have it. And remember that whenever anything goes out from this elevator it must be right—that’s a part of the Edmonds Bros. Service. If it is­ n’t right we want to know it; we’ll make it right—that’s another part of the Edmonds Bros. Service. To be sure we’re here to make a small profit on each transaction we make, just as you are following some trade, .occupation, or business to make money. But just as sure as tomorrow morning will come, neither of us can ' do it unless we sell something besides merchandise, and that “something” is dyed-in-the-wool, whole hearted, enthusiastic Service.

Northeast Corner Walnut, .Ehl.iiM.ff FOB BEBULTH THV THE BANNKli| A postal wiU reach If You Want Flour That Is The Best White Lily Flour French’s White Lily Flour is made for women who want the best, the most healthful mid wholesome, ami MOST ECONOMICAL food. There is probably more “false economy” practiced in buying Hour than jn buying almost any other food product Sometimes people get the idea that they are “saving” a few cents when they buy a sack of Hour thnt may cost a little less than French’s White Lily. But when they use the ordinary Hour .they get boxings of poorer quality, and often have to throw a lot of it away. Every pound nf flour thrown away increases the cost of the flour just that much. And on all link­ ings thrown awny you lose not only the COST, of the Hour, but all the haul work involved in preparing it. Now if you are one of those who have been “experimenting.0 or buying Hour that possibly may cost you a few pennies lew* jx?r suck, you are having “baking troubles.” You will eventually come hack to the “Old Reliable” French's White Lily Flour tha,t vou KNOW is ALWAYS GOOD, and that you can always DEPEND I’PON. because you have found that “experimenting” with Hour is EXPENSIVE. We are extremely particular about the manufacture of French’s White Lily Flour, because we make it for “particular” peo­ ple. There is nothing that a woman should take more pride in than in her baking. To have the reputation, of being a “splendid cook” is a dis- tinction thnt every woman covets. But ”ueTi a reputation cannot ho built ijp, when she is provided with flour of poor quality, with which go's! bakings are an impossibility. We INVITE TKli; 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 vou can return it to your Grocer or Elevator man and get your “money back.” Yau 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 require­ ments of the most particular housewives in Barry County, in Michigan, and iii many outside state’s. Bread, biscuits,, cookies, cakes and p\es baked from French’s White Lily Flour are light, tender, flaky, anti in every way healthful and appetizing. They nre never soggy nnd heavy, nor sour and unhealthy. * , ’ ‘Every Grocer and Elevator in Barry County sells French’s White Lily Flour. Why not.byy a sack of it, and give it a good, fair trial! You will find it will solve your baking troubles, and thnt it will ho by far the Iwst and most economical flour yon can buy. Why not order a sack today! ■ The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville Michigan �THE HASTINGS BANNER PART II—Page. 9 to 16 March 22, 1917 IM*WO» City Jchool ifws This Bank Affords You a Service You Cannot Help But Appre date Savings Accounts Checking Accounts SB follows: ID ia thr Ili^h School shop class; 15 la the High School Mechani­ cal Drawing BMMI 21 in the eighth paile;*29 in the seimth grade; 40 in n problem with Main and ihellac.

' The BANNER, which covers the entire field of Barry county, and reache? pine out of every ten homes of the county, furnishes the medium through which an auction may be thoroughly advertised in every corner of the county. So completely does the BANNER 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. ’ ___ .

No less than four build­ ings have been burned this winter in this territory, caused by sparks, fall­ ing on old wooden shingles. Roof your buildings with Reynolds’ Shingles and avoid this risk.

And if you don’t get that “Service” the chances are that you won’t go back with your ’’repeat orders,” nd matter what the quedity is you get. . That’s the way with alRof 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 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 necesary 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 ordi­ nary, don’t hesitate to ask us for it, and if it is within our power to give4t, you shall have it. And remember that whenever anything goes out from this elevator it must be right—that’s a part of the Edmonds Bros. Service. If it is­ n’t right we want to know it; we’ll make it right—that’s another part of the Edmonds Bros. Service. To be sure we’re here to make a small profit on each transaction we make, just as you are foliowing some trade, occupation, or business to make money. But just as sure as tomorrow - morning will come, neither of us can do it unless we sell something besides merchandise, and that “something” is dyed-in-the-wool, whole hearted, enthusiastic Service.

We Welcome You To Shop Here WEICKGENANT & RIEDE GOOD FARM TOOLS Are Needed On Every Farm It is just as important that farmers have the right kind of tools to work with as it is for a carpenter or a mechanic to have them. It has been proven time and time again that the best results are obtained when a farmer has the latest type of farm implements to work with. You can not only do better work, do it moye satisfactorily, do it easier, but you can cut the cost of doing this work one-half.

It has no shafts to get out of line, no chains to cause trouble, no clutches to adjust. It is only hip-high to the top, and has big drive wheels that rj-e back out of the way so they do not interfere with the loading. The hubs permit long bearings. When the wheel bearings are long, rough and uneven ground docs not increase draft, as it does when the bearings are comparatively short. EASY TO TAKE CARE OF—LARGE GREASE CUPS THAT ARE HANDY TO GET AT The John Deere sprfcader causes no trouble. It requires little attention. Oliver Plows The James Oliver Number 11 Sulkey Plow, shown in cut. is particularly adapted for plowing around large fields as well as small fields. It enables the driver to make square turns at corners with the plow in the ground. Another advantage of this plow is that the operator can plow the ground making Its turns with the bottom in the ground cutting its full depth. When plowing in this manner with the Oli­ ver Number 11 Sulkey, there is no occasion for ever having hoof tracks on the plowed ground. There are many other reasons why you should have one of these plows. Call and let us expain. Cure Chaps Hands and Face.

P^GE 5 You’re Not Paying For Experience When You Buy FRENCH’S White Lily Flour The ONE- chief and important consideration in buying flour is its “QUALITY.'’ You don’t buy it for its “looks," as you do dress goods or shoes. The only question you consider in buying flour is: “WILL IT MAKE GOOD BREAD; IS IT ALWAYS THE SAME; CAN I DEPEND UPON IT?" Making the BEST flouf—like French’s White Lily—is a KNACK, or rather a succession of knacks. It begins with the selec­ tion 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 ex­ perience 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 guarantees them an absolutely EVEN and UNIFORM QUALITY. 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 of flour that finds its way onto the market. It is good because 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. The 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. They can see for themselves just how good it is, and that it will'do even MORE than we claim for it. We can think of no fiirer way to try \t 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 is so good and so dependable, is that it is made after a plan and under 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 quality 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 skilled help to operate it. These are some of the reasons why French's White Lily is the BEST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. Middleville Middleville Roller R- T.

And The Successful Way to Advertise i iiun Experience has demonstrated that a successful auction sale ' depends largely upon two essentials: ( I ) Thorqugh Advertising...: : (2) A competent auctioneer. Barry coufity 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. ' -WT5ZB .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 uphills. And counting four readers for each copy, over 20,y 000 people have 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. ndrring valuable i -rdireetion. »inr rort a< porriblc .to alL.

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 f>art of the county. The BANNER has advertised ovef 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 littfez booklet on “Hojv to Con• duct An Auction Sale.4 This we will gladly give to any one who plans to have a sale.

The wolf of “No Work" may be snapping at the heels of the laboring man; the wolf of "Reduction of the Office Force" may be snarling at the sal­ aried man; the wolf of "Crop Failure” often prowls around the farmers’ fields. A nice little Bank Account is a barrier across which the wolf of "Hard Luck" has NEVER been known to come. Why not PROTECT YOURSELF and YOUR HOME by opening an account in this BANK? Save something each week, or each month, and put it in our Savings Department, where you will get THREE PER CENT IN­ TEREST, compounded TWICE EACH YEAR. It will NET you about as much as you would get from a good safe mortgage, and MORE than you would net from a Government Bond. And it will give you this advantage— YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY ANY TIME YOU WANT IT, or you can GET ANY PART OF IT. If you get "pinched" for money you can get it and not “get hurt." If you could only KNOW how Savings Accounts in this . Bank have helped some of our depositors, you would never let another week pass by without starting an account with us. That’s why the most prosperous people all over Barry County have opened Savings Accounts with us. . They KNOW what an account here means to them at any time they may NEED MONEY.

Cut Down Living Expenses by Using FRENCH’S White Lily Flour If you are buying an ordinary flour, you are buying an EXPENSIVE flour. You are NOT getting the BEST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. Flour is the most important article of food that is used in the home. It makes a lot of difference to YOU what kind you buy. You don’t have to pay any more for French’s White Lily Flour than you do for any ordinary flohr. The contents of EVERY SACK of French’s White Lily is JUST THE SAME, and every sack is GUARANTEED to you. You run NO CHANCES. • If you have been trying other brands of'flour you have found that one sack may be good and the next sack bad. That is because it is NOT MADE RIGHT. Have you ever stopped to think that such flour is by far the MOST EXPENSIVE that YOU CAN BUY? When you buy that kind of flour, YOU LOSE not only the COST of the flour, and other materials, that go into the baking, but the housewife loses a lot of TIME and HARD WORK besides. And there is nothing more discouraging and disheartening, to the housewife than to have her baking spoiled. French'S White Lily Flour is made after a plan that OVER 4} YEARS of practical experience has proven to us to be THE BEST. Making French’s White Lily Flour is our “life’s work." Our time, thought and study have beengiven And back of all our experience, and knowledge gained, is the MOST COMPLETE and expensive new equipment of machinery that money can buy. And still back of all that is our own water power, which enables us to run night and day, and furnishes us with the steadiest and most even power known—an important factor in making the best flour. French’s White Lily Flour doesn't just "happen" to be good. It is MADE right. That’s the reason, that every sack you buy is just like the last sack you have bought. • We are extremely particular in the selection of the grain we use. We CLEAN our grain much more THOROUGHLY than uther mills do. We remove all the dirt and "fuss” from the wheat. In ordinary mills much of this would go into the flour. Thfen the grain starts on its loqg journey through 17 sets of rolls. Each set of rolls does its part in extracting all "flour goodness" from the grain until finally it comes out, reduced to a smooth, even granulation. This is NOT POSSIBLE in the ordinary mill that only runs a few sets of rolls and runs only a few hours each day. 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. , Here's an experiment we would like to have you make:—Buy a sack of French’s White Lily, and a sack of any other kind of flour claimed to be ‘‘just as good." Make a loaf or two of bread from each kind of flour. Put the loaves from each kind in the oven at the same time, and bake right "side by side." You can soon tell, and will KNOW which kind produces the BEST LOAF. Better order a sack oT French’s White Lily Flour today. For Mont—Five room*. Enquire A3" N. Michigan Are. Phone 5H0 11.

It is NAT­ URAL for an employee to do his best work when he is DIRECTLY INTERESTED in what he is doing, and for this reason we have incorporated. We are also greatly pleased to announce that we have secured the services of Stephen Enders, as manager of our Baking Department, and he has also become a stockholder in the business.

He knows that the thing he is selling primarily is Dodge Brothers word am! their good name. f . He knows that he is not merely dealing in motor cars, but acting as custodian for Dodge Brothers reputation. Naturally this knowledge of,what is expected by the buysr breed* a deep sense of responsibility." . ; • In the Works, it has the effect of inspiring Dodge Brothers to a constant personal oversight of all of the manufacturing operations. ' . Their own life-long zeal for good workmanship Is sharpened and stimulated by a realization of what the public expects frpm them. The entire institution is honestly permeated ufith the idea that quality and performance are paramount and all-important. And so, a standard which was naturally high, hss been made higher still by the bestowal of complete confidence on the part of the public. It is a mutual contract which offers constant inspiration to the manu­ facturer and constant insurance td the customer. . With the interests o! buyer and seller so closely knit together, the result, everywhere, is what might have been expected. It is impossible for Dodge Brothers, with all thetr great facilities, to build enough motor cars to satisfy the public. BURDETTE LICHTY Dealer Hastings WO. SCHOOL REPORT.' ending April t», 1®17.

The same condition is faced by ice dealers everywhere, and it is the same situation that prevails in all lines of business. ■ . Ice dealers elsewhere are increasing their prices to meet these changed conditions. But we do not want to increase prices, except to those who order ice during the hot months of July and August, which we are justified in 'doing. Inasmuch as we will not increase our prices (ex­ cept to users during July and August only) we mu«t have the CASH in advance EACH MONTH, ip order to realize a fair profit on our business which we are entitled to. Beginning May I st patrons will be charged $2.00 per month, payable monthly in advance all through the season. Beginning any time after May 1st the price will be $2.25 per month, payable monthly in advance all through tfie season. • Those-commencing July 1st or August 1st will be charged $2.50 per month, payable monthly in advance, until September I st.

They buy a policy either through friendship, or are indifferent as to yvhat Company they in­ sure in. This is a mistaken way to do. Let me explain. , No one can tell WHEN and WHERE the next great visitation by fire will be. It may be here; it may be somewhere else. When the great fire and earthquake occurred <n San Francisco 10 years ago, the losbfes were so great that nearly all the Insurance Companies do­ ing business in that city were compelled to "pro-rate" their losses, and go out of business-^ruined financially. The great Continental Insurance Company, which I represent^ was ONE of FOUR Companies that PAID 100 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR in the San Francisco fire. Now probably any one of the Companies doing business in that western city at that time, could have paid any little local loss, but in the face of a great general loss they could not weather the storm. And there’s no telling when or where those big losses will come, but when they do come they affect the VALUE OF YOUR POLICY no matter where you are living. So you can see what your Insurance Policy means to YOU. You can see that it DOES make a difference to YOU as to WHAT COMPANY you insure in. It may mean the-difference to you between receiving a FULL LOSS and a "PRO-RATED" LOSS. Why take a chance when the good insurance COSTS YOU NO MORE? I represent the OLD RELIABLE BARRY & EATON for FARM INSURANCE, and write all kinds df SICK, ACCIDENT and CASUALTY Insurance. ( If you are interested in taking out insurance see me; or writejne, before taking out a Policy, I WILL SAVE YOU SOME MONEY and will place; your business in the’strongest and most reliable Companies. - GEORGE E.

Each year a better car and a bet­ ter value! Over three hundred thousand now in use! That is the history of the car that built Overland because it'repre­ sented integrity of value. And as steadfastly as this car has represented original integrity of value, so also has The WillysOverland Company sustained that integrity of value through\Vdly»-Knight* those who purchased It. The Overland Big Four of this season and its twin—except for the motor—the Overland- Light Six, are the direct outcome of all this development. More than three hundred thou­ sand owners and more than four thousand dealer and fac­ tory-branch organizations have assisted this development by their experience with these cars and their helpful suggestions of improvements. In their new beauty, in thjsir per­ fected easy riding qualities, in their proven sturdiness and mechanical excellence, in their admitted tire, fuel and oil economy, these cars are worthy of the confidence we have, that they will further enhance Over­ land prestige. The prices are $850 for the Big Four, $985 for the Light Six, while we have them to deliver until May 1st—thereafter $895 and $1025. C. C.

Strawberry Plants for Sale—Progri-*•ivr Everbearing atrawberry plant*, tho t>c*t nf the fall-bearer*,.*!.25 per The fact that this big mill has to run night and day year in and year out, is the BEST evidence that people like French’s White Lily Flour better than they any , other. If it wasn’t better than other flours there wouldn’t o many people who use it exclusively in preference to any other. We are equipped for manufacturing flour in the BEST and most economical way. By running continuous­ ly night and day; by owning our own mill, water power and lighting plant, we are enabled to effect economies in manufacture that no other mill can approach. And we are able to make a flour that for QUALITY cannot be ex­ celled. Today French’s White Lily Flour is the lowest priced food product on the market and at the same time it is the BEST. You can’t get ferny better, healthier or more wholesome food than good bread, and the housewife who uses French’s White Lily Flour for making bread will be assured of the choicest loaves. You can pay more money for flour that what French’s White Lily will cost you, but you won’t get anything that will be as good. You may possibly be able to buy certain brands of flour for a few pennies less per sack, but experience will show that it will be FAR MORE EXPENSIVE in the end, because ydu’ll either throw away a good portion of your bakings, br you’ll punish your stomach with a lot of heavy, soggy, indigestible bread. A safe and sensible thing to do, is to do just what the great majority of the housewives of Barry County are doing—and that is to buy French's White Lily Flour. Evrocer and Elevator in Barry County handles it, bethete id such a demand for it. ( If you want to cut down your living expenses, and you haven’t tried the French’s White Lily way to do it, you’ve been missing your best chance. Why not order a sack today?

We mean by this that it can be used with equal success in hard or mellow ground, sandy or clay soil and whether there are a. few, or many weeds. The Oliver No. I cultivator is of the seat ^uide type. The gangs and pole are pivoted in such a manner that the operator moves the gangs to one side by means of his weight and feet. It is easy watch but one gang. The levers which “ ' , ; . . . control the depth at which the gangs cultivate can be adjusted independently or together by means of the lifting lever.

Bock of this season’s new Over­ land Big Fours and Light Sixes are a direct line of nine preccding models from which they were developed. Tjiey directly continue the line of models that made the Overland name stand in the public mind for integrity of value. ’ Overland policy has steadfastly sustained that integrity of value in the car throughout its entire service in the hands of owners. Over three hundred thousand of these cars are now in use and the helpful suggestions of their owners and of the more than four thousand dealer and fac­ tory-branch organizations that sold and served diem, are largely responsible for the balanced greatness of this season's Big Fours and Light Sixes. Their new licauty, their perfected easy riding qualities, their proven sturdiness and mechan­ ical excellence, their admitted tire, fuel and oil economy make them worthy of the confidence we enjoy, that they will still further enhance Overland pres­ tige. ’ Itapid*. »W Miss Minnie ' inaw Nntuidny And give us a trial order and we will ren­ der you the best service and give you the •pt n ►iluntiun best quality of groceries you will find any­ it>U tiiuv where. t'bleago.

No. 2 PLANTER properly equipped and do the work as it should be done. ' ■ The No. 2 C.B.& Q. Planter is especially designed for planting peas, beans, beets, cane, maize and other seeds that cannot be handled satisfactorily in the ordinary planter. With a No. 2 you can plant in rows 28 inches apart with an ad­ justment every 2 inches up to 44 inches apart. With the regular equipment of sprockets, you can chock hills regularly or drill single kernels 7. 9. 13 and <l 7 inches apart. By the addition or special sprockets other drilling distances from I I inches to 37 J inches can be had. There never was a time in the history of the world When so much de­ pended upon the farmer as today. In the face of a universal “food short­ age" we all have a patriotic duty to perform. Every rod of land that can be cultivated should be put into crops, and any kind of produce is SURE to command a good price. Don’t wait till planting season, but come in and look at theC?B. & Q.

But in the flush and glow of young manhood or yodng womanhood, when money comes easy and expenses are com­ paratively light, they are overlooked. The FACTS are these and they are indisputable:—•. 1 • 1st. You can’t ward off old age, and live. 2nd. You can’t ward off sickness. 3rd. You can’t ward off the time when you will be unable to work. There is only ONE WAY that you can overcome these three condi­ tions, and assure yourself that the "evening of your life" will be spent in the quiet peace and comfort that every man or woman should have after years of toil. That is to SAVE YOUR MONEY, and commence NOW. Save a portion of your salary EVERY PAY DAY. You will be forming habits of economy and thrift that will stand you well in hand as the years go by. More than that, the Dollars that you deposit in our Savings Department, will be working for you night and day. The more you accumulate, the hard­ er they will work. ' t You can have no real freedom when you are driven by necessity or shackled by debt. Money accumulated will make you free to take advantage of OPPORTUNITIES that may be offered; it will put you on the way to "Easy Street." ‘ We pay you Three Per Cent Interest on all Savings Deposits and Compounded Twice Each Year. Just think this over seriously young man or young woman, and make up your mind to commence saving NOW. The sooner you commence the BE’IT‘ER it will be FOR YOU.

Our Two Biggest Days Will Be Friday and Saturday—Everything in the Store Reduced Look for the Red Tags—They Save You Money From the PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION, April 15, 1917. To the. merchants of our country he says: "To the merchants let me suggest the motto ‘Small profits and quick service;” and that means, every merchant shall serve his community to the best of his ability .and endeavor to furnish Standard. Merchandise at the lowest possible price, no speculation should be allowed . on commodities of life. A merchant who does that should not be allowed to be in business. In our case we bought our goods for our customers and not for specula­ tion, and we are offering in this our Red Tag Sale merchandise lower than market value. Why do we do it? Because we have the goods and lots of them, and we are here td serve our community. Buy what you need, but do not speculate, that is our advice.

It IS in the business or buying only the best selections obtainable of Michigan wheat, and milling it into FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR,-a-flour' so superior that it is in a class by' itself. So successfully have we met every test of otir product that we have for years been running our big mill night and day. A time tried list of customers take all we can supply. ,Our policy is to take care of our regular list, and keep our regular trade, satisfied. Our long list of stand-by natrons is a matter of pride to us. It’s worth our 42 years of effort in the milling business to have such a list, who depend upon us for our product, and who know, from long experience, that French’s White Lily Flour satisfies their customers. They place orders with us covering their requirements for many months in advance. They know they not only take no chances by such a course, but they understand, from long years of dealing with us, that they thus assure their own patrons, who have come to regard French’s White Lily Flour as a household necessity, that they will not be disappointed when they order their favor­ ite brand of flour. While we have a large trade reaching far beyond the limits of Michigan, and also in the principal trading centers of this state, the trade which we prize most, and are most anxious to always increase, is that of the "HOME FOLKS" in Barry and near-by counties—most of whom know French’s White Lily Flour, and know its dependable character and ability to please and satisfy the members of their households. Ever since this mill started in business we have aimed to make flour that would meet the flour needs of these home folks. The fact that there is more of French's White Lily Flour used in Barry county than of all other makes of flour combined is proof that we have succeeded. Are YOU'satisfied with the flour you are using in your home? If not, order a sack of French’s White Lily Flour, and you will find that the same reasons that have won the loyalty of the majority of the homemakers of Bar­ ry county to this flour, the test of experience, will make you one of the stand-by friends of French’s White Lily. It is made by the best experienced millers, in a mill equipped with the latest and best flour making machinery, in a mill that runs steadily night and day, the power being the steady water power from our own plant. There isn’t a thing we could add to make our mill more complete, nor a thing we have that we could dispense with in the making of French’s White Lily Flour. Every grocery and elevator in Barry County sells it. Order a sack today. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.

WaiWjteW nn Daughters of Columbia YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU Five Hundred Thousand young men are scon to leave the ranks of peaceful pursuit to answer the President’s call to arms—500,000 more will be called a little later on—and then another 500,000 yet— and still another 500,000—2,000,000 strong: The Trumpet of War The«e brothers of yours—the sons of your mothers—are going forth, many of them, to sacrifice their lives on the altar of Freedom that you. their sisters, may continue to en­ joy the blessings of liberty, opportunity and democracy. - has sounded. The call for men i» being answered from the farm, from the mill, from the pulpit, from the schools and colleges, and from the offices of the country. The finest young men that the world has ever produced are rallying to the battle cry. Daughters of America Hundreds of thousands of these young men are going from the offices of the country— the bookkeepers, the stenopaphers, the pri­ vate secretaries, the executives. This means that YOU—thousands of you—will be want­ ed, needed, to fill these office places. It is of tremendous importance to the 'Nation that the business of the Nation be not crippled. If business is crippled, it paralyzes every other industry. Unless the product of the farm and forest, of the mine and thc mill, can be properly worked up into the necessities and properly distributed, there will be a tre­ mendous loss to the country at large. Two Million young women mutt prepare to step into their brothers' places. Some places do not require the training that others do. Of­ fice employment requires technical prepara­ tion, and the places that require technical preparation to fill, are those that offer the greatest remuneration. Of course, they re­ quire effort and training—perhaps some sac­ rifice—and that’s the reason of greater com­ pensation, better hours, and more congenial surroundings. Your duty is clear. What sacrifice will YOU make for these 2,000,000 brothers, sons, and fathers to make their task of victory easier, quicker, surer? What sacrifice will you make to help feed them, to help clothe them? What sacrifice will, you make to keep the wheels of business .moving so that supplies will be properly furnished? What are you willing to do to make yourself an efficient worker to help protect these brothers of yours? Are you going to step in somewhere, an efficient auditor, to see that every dollar is properly expended? Are you going to be able to step in somewhere, an efficient ste­ nographer, so that all communications Will go promptly on time? Remember, the fields and factories do not require the same highly developed skill or training as the offices—and besides, there’s already in army of untrained. .The big cry, the big loss, the big demand right now, is for trained, intelligent help. The Civil Service Commission at Washing­ ton is sending but urgent appeals for help. They're offering unprecendented salaries. Young women are wanted in every state in the Union for Civil Service positions. Business men all oyer thc country are facing a most critical situation. Scores of calls have already come to this institution for young wqmen, properly trained, to step in and fill these vacancies. It is for YOU tp answer. Your duty is clear. Your only choice is—What Will I Do? Which service will you render? Will it be at some hard tedious work, with long hours, or will it be in the offices of the land where you are most needed right now, amid pleas­ ant surroundings, with tremendous opportu­ nities for development? Never in all the history of American business has there been such a demand for office help as now—and the demand is increasing by leaps and bounds. Remember, that hund­ reds of thousands of young women of this Nation are wanted—those who are "fit" will be selected—those who are ‘'fittest" will re­ ceive the posts of honor, and, consequently, the pay envelope that goes with such execu­ tive work. I You should begin immediately to train for one of these preferred positions of which there’s a plenty. Business and Governmental operations must go on. Will you play your part as a highly trained executive, or will you occupy one of the objectionable "back seats?* Of course, I want you at this institution— but whether you come here or not, let me urge upon you the necessity for immediate preparation. Please believe that I am sincere when I say that this demand is insistent, ur­ gent, and that unless we, as easiness men of the country, can get the specialized help needed, we are face to face with a serious condition. To meet this demand. I have prepared a Special Course that can be completed in the shortest possible time, consistent with thorough work. It is for young women on­ ly. I can fit too of you during these summer months to answer the call. But a thdusand requests will be made upon me—a thousand demands for trained workers—ere many ' months have past. . Now don't delay—don’t procrastinate— . don’t say tomorrow. Begin NOW. Don't let today’s opportunity slip by. This is an opportunity for Now, not next year, not next month, right NOW. Come to Battle Creek prepared to stay and qualify yourself to ans­ wer your country’s call.

The Series 18 Studebakers are the best cars Studebaker has ever produced. They embody ninety distinct improvements and refinements of mechanical' construction, convenience and comfort over the Series 17 —which was thc car that made such a re­ markable record for Studebaker in 19x6. Studied accessibility reduces inspection, ad­ justment and repair cost* to a minimum. In ratio to weight the Studebaker Series 18 cars are probably the most powerful cars on the market , In ratio to power they are most economical in gasoline consumption. Their balance is so perfect that a single set of tire* frequently runs from 8,000 to 10,000 miles. Studebaker cars are furnished in a distinc­ tive and pleasing shade of dark gun-metal gray with ivory stripings—the paint and var­ nish work is excellent. All upholstery is of genuine leather—leather not only genuine but high grade.

Where will you begin first? Why, first the garden needs first thought. First the hoe and rake, then the seeds and we have all these also the garden trowels and many other useful garden articles. Then comes the housecleaning from attic to basement, requires going over with paint and varnish, wall paper cleaner, carpet tacks, brackets, curtain rods, window shades and curtain material, shelf paper, oil cloth, paintbrushes, scrub brushes, white-wash brushes, brooms, mop-stick; also wash tubs, wash-boilers, ironing boards, clothes baskets and hampers.

But in the flush and gloyv of young man­ hood. or young womanhood, when money comes easy and expenses are com­ paratively light, they are overlooked. . The FACTS are these and they are indisputable:—, . 1st. You can’t ward off old age, and live. > 2nd. You can’t ward off sickness. 3rd. You can’t ward off the time when you will be unable to work. There is only ONE WAY that you can overcome these three, condi­ tions, and assure yourself that the “evening of your life” will be spent in the quiet peace and comfort that every man or woman should have after years of ; toil. That is to SAVE YOUR MONEY, and commence NOW. Save a portion of your salary EVERY PAY DAY. Yqu will be forming habits of economy and thrift that will stand you well in hand as the years go by. More .than that, the Dollars that you deposit in our Savings Department, will be working for you night and dcly. The more you accumulate, the hard- • er they will wo?k. . • You can have no real freedom when you are driven by necessity or shackled by debt. Money accumulated will make you free to take advantage . of OPPORTUNITIES that may be offered; it will put you on the way to “Easy Street.” . . t We pay you Three Per Cent Interest on all Savings Deposits and Compounded Twice Each Year. Just think this over seriously young man or young woman, and make up your mind to commence saving NOW. The sooner you commence the BETTER it will be FOR YOU. linin'.1.

We are selling motor cars—complete mo­ tor cars—and consequently do not base our ap­ peal atytnotor speed or power, wheelbase, bulk, weight or lack of weight, appearance or any other single feature. For example, the Maxwell engine, per pound of weight to be moved, is the most pow­ erful automobile engine in the world. But we . do not sell you a car on that account alone. We sell you because the Maxwell has every’de­ sirable feature—among which power is but one. We hold that our manufacturing and sell­ ing policy is right. In proof thereof, we point to our record of accomplishment, whidh is nothing short of phenomenal. Since the founding of-our company, three years ago, we have doubled our output an­ nually; we have improved our car constantly and three times we have reduced our price. • Having behind us the tremendous value of public good will, an organization of dealers and distributors that is second to none and an im­ proved product that is making good in a big way, we will build (entirely in our own factor­ ies) and sell this year, 135,000 automobiles. Merit and value imply comfort, an attrac­ tive design, an efficient motor, a sturdy chassis, the use of the best, materials, complete equip­ ment of tried accessories and economy in first cost and aftercost. We are proud of our record. It is some­ thing rightly to be proud of. Things do not simply happen. There is always a teason for such sn unususl success. Feeling certain that our plans and policies are correct, we will con­ tinue to follow them as faithfully as in the past. Each one of these qualities is part of the Maxwell Car.

You can do it, and you can SAVE MONEY by doing it. IM West Grand Rt., City. Flour is the basis of all living. It’s just as true with your family ns it is with all the families. But did you ever stop to investigate the (lour qnestion in any way? Probably not. But here ar? a few FACTS that wo ask you to consider when it comes to flour: 1st.—We own our own mill. ■ 2nd—Our mill is operated by water power. 3rd.—We own our own water power. 4th.—Wo own our own electric lighting plant. 5th.—The demand for French’s White Lily is so great that’we have to run our mill night and day, year in and year out. which practically cuts our overhead expense in two. We have established our reputation and our big business on the QUALITY of French’# White Lily Flour. We can’t afford to do qne single thing that in any way would tend to lower the QUALITY of our product, because tho pleased eustoiners throughout Barry county nnd all over Michigan, are one of our' best ttasets. Il is the CAREFUL ATTENTION that we give to the milling processes that makes-French’s White Lily Flour superior to any other. We could make more flour than we do, but if we did-jt wj>uld have to be nt the expense of QUALI­ TY—nnd this we will never consider. \ . Tn tho great majority of mills the great thought is to produce “QUANTITY'’—to sop how muoh.grain they can push through the^olls in the few-liours they run each day. Tl'ioy really have to do this in order . tn cut <lbwn tho “cost per barrel’’ to manufacture. But in doing it they cannot properly CLEAN the grain they., use. The,result is that a lot of dust, dirt and foul stuff is left in the creases of th? grain, and-is ground up with the flour, and YOU PAY FLOUR PRICES FOR IT. Mote than that, it cannot but detract from the QUALITY of your bakings. Every kernel of wheat that goes into French’s White I*ily Flour i# thoroughly poured and polished until nothing but the pure grain is left. This is done by Hpecuil patented machinery. This is only one reason , why French's White Lily is better than others—and there are several other reasons. ' Y The liest way for yon to find out is to order a sack from your grocor, or elevator man. nnd try it out. Why not do it today? The Middleville Roller Middleville R.

They should feel ho shame in cooking their own dinners, shining their own shoes, shoveling their own • snow and mowing their own lawns. During years of prosperity it has become all too 1 easy to live fast and spend easy. Costly habits of living have come into existence even among those who depend only upon a moderate income. It is easy to let the nickles and dimes slip away—but they make the dollars—and a dollar saved adds to one’s independence and starts a • fund for future needs. Surely you want to be one that saves and if you haven’t the ambition something is wrong with you. The man who saves is the man who is always ready to advance. Financial assistance is extended only to the m^n whose steady deposits and thrifty habits show his ability and de­ termination to help himself.

Phono 240 ur The price of flour has advanced to such a figure that it will pay any man, or any family to investigate the "flour question." If you have any idea that you can cut down your living expenes by using a brand of flour that may cost a penny or two per sack less than what French’s White Lily will cost you, then you simply have "another guess coming." You haven’t investigated. French’s White Lily is milled better than other flours. Every bit of the "flour goodness" is extracted from the grain and is reduced to a fine, even granulation by being passed through 1 7 different sets of rolls, each set doing its work in reducing the particles. You will find that French’s White Lily Flour has a fla­ vor all its own. You will find no other brand of flour that imparts to the bread, cakes qnd pastries such a delicious taste. No flour can be put through a, more complete and perfect mechanical process. We have aimepl at the BEST—and we have attained it through more than 40 years of constant study and close application to the business. We felt that our patrons are en­ titled to the very best flour for their money. Possessing several very decided advantages in the'way of owning our own milLand water power? we decided to supplement this by installing the very latest mechanical equipment. Tb-is we have done. No machine ever comes onto the market that will add to the QUALITY of our Flour, but what we install it. If you have "baking troubles" why continue to use the same flour you have been using? Why not order a sack of. French’s White Lily and give it a fair trial? Of perhaps, better yet, just get a sack of French’s White Lily; make a batch of dough from the flour you have been qsing, and a batch from French’s White Lily. Put them in the oven side by side and bake them. Show no partiality. Suph an experiment will convince you, as it has thousands of oth­ ers, that GOOD BREAD DEPENDS QUITE LARGELY UPON GOOD FLOUR. Every Grocer and Elevator Man • in Barry County sells French’s White Lily. Why not or­ der a sack today ?j . *!•! til liltJIMI IA. I The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.

You Can Save Money Buy­ ing Farm Implements Now Farmers who contemplate purchasing farm tools will do well to buy them now, for jtist as soon as the present stock we have on hand is sold, the price will advance.

We can still save you money if you buy from our present stock, but you will have to buy quick, as our stock is getting low. Buy Now Don’t wait until it is time to cultivate corn before you think about buying a cul-' tivator.

Those who cannot do active service, and those who are not called to the" ''colors, can do “their bit" by buying Govern­ ment Bonds to provide money to meet the enormous .expense. The United States has authorized the largest war loan ever mtade in the history of the world. The Bonds authorized have been made in denominations of $50 and $ 100 and upwards. They bear 3J PER CENT IN­ TEREST and are exempt from taxation. We have arranged to sell these $50 .and $100 Bonds to our patrons on the WEEKLY PAYMENT PLAN. This will make it possible fpr any man or woman with little means, or who can pay a small amount each week, to soon own a Government 3| Per Cent Bond.

French’s White Lily Flour If you atoppsfl to consider quality and the price you generally pay for flour, it would be an easy mat­ ter for you to decide on French’s White Lily Flour as the cheapest and best flour for you to use. The best flour mill­ ed is made from Michigan grown wheat and when you buyflour from our mill you are getting flour that contains only the best grade of wheat and is jmade by millers who have spent years in working out a formula for flour that would be juet a little better than the best and flour that would be satisfactory in all respects. When it comes to a completely equipped mill, you won’t find a better one in the country than oura, and 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 year* 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 Flour, no matter where it comes from. There is no peed of buying flour from another state for it is not only expensive paying the freight, but it is very unsatisfac­ tory because if there is anything wrong with it you are a long ways away and it is a hard matter to get a satisfac­ tory settlement. On the other hand when you buy flour here it is guaranteed to give satisfaction and every sack that leaves bur mi'll has our guarantee back of it. There is more French’s White Lily used in Barry County than of all other flours combined. But, are YOU one of the users? Don’t be like the oil-man and overlook the BEST vplue, just because it is so close to you. Try French’s White Lily once and you’ll never be without it. It's the best and most economical flour you can use. Every Grocer and Elevator man handles it. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.

Is The Lowest Priced Food Product On the market,quality ana food value considered . There is more nourishment in a pound df’flbur than there is in a pound of beef steak. The pound of steak will cost 18 to 25 cents; the pound of flour will cost you only about 8 cents. When you buy the prepared cereals you pay from 1 21 to 15 cents a pound for them including the weight of the box—which you cannot eat.

When you buy beans you have to pay from 25 to 40 cents a pound. When it comes to real FOOD VALUE you will find that good, pure flour is the lowest priced food pro­ duct on the market. It will pay any man, especially during these days of high prices, to investigate the flour question very closely. Any housewife knows from EXPERIENCE! that it is cheaper in the long run to use the best quality of flour for making Bread and Pastries. With our complete milling equipment, and the unus­ ual advantages we have for manufacturing flour at the LOWEST POSSIBLE COST, we are able to make flour of the VERY HIGHEST QUALITY and sell it as low, or even lower, than you would have to pay for flour of ordi­ nary quality. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour, you get a product that is superior to other brands of flour because every effort has been p(it forth to make it just as good as it can possibly be made. In ordinary mills the whole effort is to get just as much grain through the rolls as possible, in thp six or eight hours that those mills run each day. But it is different with us. For more than 40 years we have done frothing but make French s White Lily Flour. Our aim has been QUALITY and not QUANTITY. French’s White Lily has proven so popular with all who have used it that for more than 25 years we have been com­ pelled to run this mill night and day, year in and year out. This cuts our manufacturing costs in two,' because it en­ ables us to get a 24 hour OUT PUT at practically a 10hpur COST, which materially aids us in selling French’s White Lily at the same price, or even lower, than you would pay for ordinary flour. If you have never tried French’s White Lily Flour why not order a sack today. Every Grocer and Elevator Man in Barry County sells it, and EVERY SACK is GUARANTEED. ‘ . The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville FRENCH, Proprietor Michigan �It’s Your Patriotic Duty To Buy a Liberty Bond Whatever amount you invest in Liberty Bonds will help to win the,war in the shortest possi­ ble time. There is absolutely no profit for us, we are simply doing it to help the government win the war, and you owe it to your country to purchase one pr more of the bonds. Every­ one must help in some way or other and this is your opportunity to do your part. We Have Solved The Problem It doesn’t take any great amount of money at one time to become the owner of a Liberty Bond. We have paved the way whereby you can purchase one by making a payment of one-tenth down and the balance in monthly or semi-monthly payments.. ■ , Every man, woman and child should subscribe for one or more Liberty Bonds, and pay for th$m out of present or future earnings. These bonds can be purchased in denominations of $50.00, and up, and will draw interest of 3| per cent, and they also carry the privilege of conversion into any subsequent war bonds issued by the government which may draw a higher rate of interest. t ’ • Why Our Plan Will Benefit You If you purchase a Liberty Bond from this bank it will help you to form the saving habit and you will also be doing a good act for your country. As an example, the Hastings National Bank will sell Liberty Bonds in denominations of $50.00 and upwards, by^payment of 10 per cent in cash and the balance in 9 monthly or semi-monthly payments. The bank will take your note drawing only 3] per cent interest—the same as the bank draws—for the nine months period. For instance, if you want to buy a $100.00 U. S. government 3 J per cent bond you pay the bank $10.00 in cash and you will get your bond at once, which will be left at the bank for security for the $90.00 note you owe. The note will draw 31 per cent simple interest, the same rate as the bond. Purchase of these bonds can be made un­ til June I 5th.

When we first started making French’s-White Ijlj^Flour ov­ er 40 years ago, it was in a small mill, not much .diffeigmt from the great majority of flouring mills of those pioneer days. The only ad­ vantage we possessed was ownership of our water power, the cheap­ est and best power known. ( . We hadn’t been in business a great many years before ye dis­ covered that we were not making any great progress. We were run­ ning our mill 8 or 10 hours a day, and taking special pains to turn out flour of QUALITY. Other mills, running about as many hours per day as we were, hut wliich wore not jMirticnlnr idxnit tho quality of tberr products, were rushiug the whe/it through their mills in order to produce QUANTITY, and selling thmr flour at varying ]trices. We saw that if.we weje to stay in the business! and succeed that we,must maintain the high QUALITY of French’s White Lily,• mid produce it so that we x*ould sell it at the RAME PRICE as the other fellows. In short.we MUST produce a BETTER QUALITY of flour for the same moncjHhe other fellows charged for ordinary flour. Now we fibred that if wo could gof business enough to keep out'mill running NIGHT nnd DAY tho POWER for running our plant wouldn’t cost uS'a penny more; our taxes and interest on our invest­ ment wouldn't lie any more; our bookkeeping, depreciation-and a hun­ dred nnd pho other items wouldn’t Ho any more. The ONLY added ex­ pense t<> us would be a skilled miller, with possibly an extra mon, to. run tlie' mill nights. In other words, at almost NO ADDED EX­ PENSE, we would he able to get a 24-IIOUR OUTPUT at practically un'8 OR 10 HOUR COST. . r - ■ ' . •/■■■■• ■ Every flour manufacturer, as well as every merchant or fac­ tory man, HAS to ADD a certain per cent to the COST of hia goods, Jo pay lii» GENERAI7EXPENSE nnd give him a living profit, usiinlly at leant 25 per cent or more. By getting a 24 hour output nt a 10 hour eont, we figured that we could cut our general expense dowfi to such a small per cent that we could make a far BETTER quality of flour anti sell it nt ns low a price, or even lower, than.other hiIUb were charging for a far INFERIOR QUALITY of flour. • - Tlie more that people tried French’s White tily Flour, tho BETTER they liked it and the greater the DEMAND for it. It was­ n’t very long liefore we had business enough to keep our mill run­ ning NIGHT and DAY. That wn« ALMOST 30 YEARS AGO—and we have been running this mill night and day, year in and year out, ever since then. This business has been built -up entirely on “QUALITY.” From a small mill we have grown into a LARGE one. Every new ma^ chine that has come onto tho market that would enable us to make BETTER flour, has l>een installed, no matter whAt the expense. Only a very few years ago we threw out EVERY MACHINE in our mill, and installed a complete equipment of all the VERY LATbiST and BEST flour-making machines. It cost us many thousands of dollars, but we are making more and BETTER flour today than ever before. You will not find a mill in the country today with a better equipment than we have, or will you find a flour of lietter QUALITY than French’s White Lily. It’s the lowest priced food product on the market—^QUALITY and food “value” considered. Every housewife who uses it and gives it a thorough trial becomea its fast friend. That’s WHY we’ve been compelled to run night and day for nearly 30 years. Thb use of French’s White Lily Flour in any homo will cut down the living expenses, because every particle of it will bo used. Why not or­ der a sack jbst to try it out, and bo convinced.

MEET AT CHARLOTTE Hastings trophy—Baseball, It’s Your Patriotic Duty To Buy a Liberty Bond Whatever amount you invest in Liberty Bonds will help to win the war in the shortest possi­ ble time. There is absolutely no profit for us, we are simply doing it to help the government win the war, and you owe it to your country to purchase one or more of the bonds. Every­ one must help in some way or other and this is your opportunity to do your part. We^Have Solved The Problem It doesn’t take any great amount of money at onetime to become the owner of a Liberty .Bond. ,We have-paved the way whereby you can purchase onje by making a payment of one-tenth down and the balance in monthly or semi-monthly, payments. Every man, woman and child should subscribe for one or more Liberty Bonds, and pay for them out of presept ot future earnings. These bonds can be purchased in denominations of $50.00, and up, and will draw interest of 3 J per cent, and they also carry the privilege of conversion into any subsequent war bonds issued by the government which may draw a higher rate of interest. Why Our Plan Will Benefit You If you purchase a Liberty Bond from this bank it will help you to form the saving habit and you will also be doing a good act for your country. As an example, the Hastings National Hank will sell Liberty Bonds in denominations of $50.00 and upwards, by payment of 10 per cent in cash and the balance in 9 monthly or semi-monthly payments. The bank will take your note drawing only 3| per cent interest—the same as the bond draws— for the nine months period. For instance, if you want to buy a $100.00 U. S. government 3 j per cent bond you pay the banje $ 10.00 in cash and you will get your bond at once, wbjch will be left at the bank for security for the $90.00 note you owe. The note will draW 3| per cent simple interest, the same rate as the bond. Purchase of these bonds can be pfede un­ til June 15th. Call and let us explain the plan to you.

We Still Say SAVE YOUR MONEY We told you in our advertisement in the BANNER last week about the "BURN­ OIL’’ Device for ford Cars, which uses cheap KEROSENE for fuel, instead of expensive ^Gasoline. Wc have gone into the proposition far enough so that we KNOW that ANY MAN who installs one of the BURN-OIL Devices on his FORD CAR, will save money enough on „.his fuel bills alone before his car is worn out, to PAY FOR THE DEVICE and also BUY A NEW FORD CAR in addition. ” ’* , WHAT IT WILL SAVE. W'c can tnkc. TEN GALLONS of t-lmap KERO­ SENE id NINE GENTS PER GALLON, un<l make AT LEAST 40 MILES MORE Ilian wc could make on 10 GALLONS of the ordinary gasoiinc'ut 23 CENTS i‘ER GALLON.

With the “Burn-Oil” Device there’s a constant jel of WATER thrown into the Manifold. Chemists state thnljhe viqtor from Kerosene is dryer, and the jet of WATER gives tho vapor a greater hxnlosive POWER. And remvn liter that V ATER V )STH YOU NOTHING.

Bessmer Mutual Automobile Insurance A Success. Deductable Clause of la 5 Insures Safety. Automobile insurance in stock companies lias been very expen­ sive, costing an average of or $60 a year to cover fire, theft, and liability, but mutual insurance companies are carrying this for a lower rate. As the policy holder stands $25 of tbe claim, it en­ courages him to use care to avoid the auto thief and also with fire aryl liability. Without this clause the Company would have no pro­ tection against the careless man. Those who have watched the plan agree that it is a protection to tbe Company, and also obtains the co­ operation of each member in case of a loss, and greatly reduces tbe cost of insttrance. The average automobile owner is not interested in the small claim, but he wants the protection against the serious loss by fire or theft. And the pro­ tection against damage suits up to $$,000.. In view of the fact that many automobile owners have to pay large damage claims this in­ surance meets the approval of tbe average man. The Citizens’ Mutual Automo­ bile Insurance Company, of Ho­ well. has paid many large claims; therefore, the Company has had a very rapid growth, as it will pay damage claims up to $5,ooo, yet the money is not wasted try chas­ ing up the petty losses.

They found that in QUALITY it was the best, and that in PRICE there was nothing lower. In other word* it was . the "BEST FLOUR FOR THE MONEY.” To be sure, some of them have tried other brands of flour, but they always come back to the old reliable French’s White JJy, which they knew they could depend upon. There never was a time in the history of the country when it was so necessary for every family to make its dollars go as far as possible in the purchase of food supplies. French’s White Lily Flour will make better bread, biscuits and pastries for your family than can be made from any oth­ er flour. There will be absolutely no waste, no spoiled bakings to be thrown away. Every particle of the flour will be used. - EVERY SACK of -it is GUARANTEED to satisfy the purchaser, so you take no chances whatever in buying it. We GUARANTEE it to the Grocer, the Elevator men and TO YOU.

It is thoroughly conservative in-all of its investments. Every dollar that we-loan goes into “gilt edged” securities that are known to be SAFE and SOLID. We have always conducted this Bank on the theory that “ it’s better to be safe than sorry.” ■ ■ ■ We offer the very best facilities to every man, woman or child desiring to get ahead in the world. The aspirations of most every man are pretty well reflected in his Banking connections. You take the young man, working in the store, in the factory, or on the f arm, if you see him depositing a part of his wages every week, two weeks, or month, in the Bank, it is pretty safe to spot him as a young man who has air ambition to get ahead in the world; to make something of himself; to raise himself above his present condition. On the other hand you take the young man who is spending his mon­ ey as fast as he earns it, or faster; who is contracting expensive habits be­ yond his income, it is pretty safe to put that young man in the class with those who will not make a very glittering sue cess. The business world isn’t taking many chances with a chap who spend s his money as fast as he earns it. There is something about the saving of money that gives a young man, or a young woman, a better idea of the “value of a dollar,” because he understands the sacrifice necessary to SAVE IT. Young man, young woman, you can’t do anything that will have a more helpful influence on your future 1 ife, than opening an account at this Bank, and adding to it every week or month. Why not open an account now? ’ - lend n helping hand to thaw behind whn hnie no strength for the journey ndmirntinn for muit alwnya be in the rear.’ ” County News Hastings City Bank Phone 2103 The Bank That Does Things For You” Hastings, Michigan HINDS CORNERS. phnne iy*letn since the line* arc ehang-.

You can look the whole state ov£r, and you will not find another mill as for­ tunately situated as this, to produce the BEST Flour ECONOMICALLY and in LARGE QUANTITY. _ A large part of the wheat we use is grown in the vicinity of our mill. It is delivered to us WITHOUT ANY FREIGHT CHARGES, or extra ex­ pense of any kind. We pay a BONUS for good wheat that tests over 60 pounds to the bushel, and there are a great many farmers who have grown wheat especially for us for a good many years. So we get our raw materials (good Michigan Winter Wheat) at a lower cost than do outside flouring mills who have to ADD freight charges on the wheat, and on shipping flour back to the local markets to the COST of making the flour. It costs practically as much to run a mill 6 to 10 hours a day as it does to run 24 hours. In order to supply the demand for French’s White Lily, we have to run our big mill DAY and NIGHT. This cuts our manufacturing cost to a minimum; guarantees the smoothest and most even QUALITY; and enables you to buy French's White Lily at the same price you have to pay for flour of inferior QUALITY. ■ Bread made from drench’s White Lily is the BEST and most nourish­ ing food you can provide your family, and at the LOWEST POSSIBLE EX­ PENSEI Why not order a sack today? , I; ' ’' j fl Farm.

It is thoroughly conservative-in all of its investments. Every dollar that we loan goes into “gilt edged” securities that are known to be SAFE and SOLID. We have always conducted this Bank on the theory that “ it’s better to be safe than sorry.” „ We offer the very best facilities.to every man, woman or child desiring, to get ahead in the world. The aspirations of most every man are pretty well reflected in his Banking connections. You take the young man, working in the store, in the factory, or on the f arm, if you see him depositing a part of his wages every week, two weeks, or month, in the Bank, it is pretty safe to spot him as a young man who has an ambition to get ahead in the world; to make something of himself; to raise himself above his present condition. On the other hand you take the young man who is spending his mon­ ey as fast as he earns it, or faster; who is contracting expensive habits be­ yond his income, it is pretty safe to put that young man in the class with those who will not make a very glittering success. The business world isn’t taking many chances with a chap who spend s kis money as fast as he earns it. There is something about the saving of money that gives a young man, or a young woman, a better idea of the “value of a dollar,” because he understands the sacrifice necessary to SAVE IT. Young man, young woman, you can’t do anything that will have a more helpful influence on your future 1 ife, than opening an account at this Bank, and adding to it every week or month.

Food Economy Was Never So Essential As Right Now It is up to Uncle Sam to feed the world this next year, and food wastage must therefore be eliminated. In no way can real economy be practiced in the homes of Barry County that will compare with using the HIGHEST QUALITY of flour at the MINI MUM OF COST—and that means French’s White l.ily Flour.

If You Are REGISTERED FOR DRAFT, you may be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice that our flag may continue to wave and our free institutions may continue to be free. < If You Are TOO OLD or if you are TOO YOUNG for the Draft, you can still do your bit in helping this country meet its world duty, as it must and will. For AMERICA MUST WIN THIS WAR. Whatever Your Work, Whatever Your Age, And Whatever Your Position In Life, There I* ONE THING All Of U» Can And Should Do And That 1* TO ECONOMIZE and TO SAVE. For in the Final Test Uncle Sam’s Dol­ lars Will Go Far Toward Winning This War. Wasted Dollars cannot doit. SAVED DOLLARS CAN AND WILL DO IT .Therefore everybody should Save Every Dollar He or She Can While the War Last*. And saved dollars, to be ready for the country’s call, should be DEPOSITED IN A BANK. This bank offers every possible inducement to encourage Thrift and Saving. We make your Saved Dollars work for you while they are in our keeping. Let us say here that Saving is NOT Stinginess. A stingy man never was and never can be Patriotic. He’s just stingy; and stinginess is not economy, it’s just stinginess. But Saving, at the oresent time, is a PATRIOTIC DUTY, Uncle Sam ask­ ed for $2,000,000,000 of America’s saved dollars in the recent Liberty Loan. He will ask for $2,000,000,000 more next September. Are YOU going to be a Slacker when Uncle Sam wants more cash to carry bn the war? Surely not. It will be made easy for you to buy those bonds if you have the SAVING HABIT. So if you can’t go into the trenches yourself to fight for the flag, you can be a SAVER and help Uncle Sam to maintain "the army that is fighting for your own,"your country's and the world’s liber­ ties. •. Let us tell you how easy it is for you to become a SYSTEMATIC SAVER. You’ll like our plan, and you will be pleased with the courtesies we extend to bur customers. . .

AUCTION SALES And Tlw 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, 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 ofthe 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 only a few hundred would see the bills, which would be soon destroyed by the wind 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. entertainftig company from Detroit. «.

Have you ever thought about the FACT that when you buy a sack of French’s White Lily Flbur you get more FOOD VALUE, more NUTRIMENT, than in the same weight of any other food, at anything near the price? There is more nourishment in a pound of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR than there is in a pound of beef steak and it costs you a whole lot less. Investigate any food product that you will, and you will find that for rood value, and nourishment, no pro­ duct will compare with French’s White Lily Flour. This means that if you want to cut down your living expenses, and provide your family with the most nour­ ishing, and the most wholesome food, that you should become thoroughly familiar with French’s White Lily. It makes not only the BEST BREAD, and light, flaky biscuits, 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. Mottos— .Ml p|k*on«'are forbidden ontering one huckleberry marsh ns they will bo dealt with according And ydu 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, because it is Nature’s own food. Cut out a lot of the “knickkriacks,” 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 ia the chief component, that if they were’ prepared in your own home, for your own family, would make for BETTER HEALTH and LOWER LIV­ ING EXPENSES. Every housewife should economize in every way and you can make a good start by doing your baking with French’s White Lily Flour—you’ll find none better. The Middleville Middleville R. T.

And the farmers of Barry County are do­ ing nobly. A BUSINESS MAN, you can do your bit by encouraging “Business as Us­ ual, ’’ and not giving way to pessimism, or doubting that the future Jriolds much good in store for America. Neither by influence nor example should anyone encourage extravagance or wasteful use of money. If You Are A LABORER, your bit is to “keep sawing wood;” for your work is the basis of all economic life in our land. If You Are REGISTERED FOR DRAFT, you may be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice that our flag may continue to wave and our free institutions may continue to be free. ' * ■ Whatever Your Work, Whatever Your Age, And Whatever Your Position In Life, There Is ONE THING All Of Us Can And Should Do And That Is TO ECONOMIZE and TO SAVE. For in the Final Test? Uncle Sam’s Dol­ lars Wjll Go Far Toward Winning Thia War. Wasted Dollars cannot doit. SAVED DOLLARS CAN AND WILL DO IT Therefore everybody should Save Every Dollar He or She Can While the War Lasts. And saved dollars, to be ready for the country’s call, should be DEPOSITED IN A BAtyK. This bank offers every possible inducement to encourage Thrift and Saving. We make your Saved Dollars work for you while they are in our keeping. Let us say here that Saving is NOT Stinginess. A stingy man never was and never can be Patriotic. He’s just stingy; and stinginess is not economy, it’s just stinginess. ■ But Saving, at the present time, is a PATRIOTIC DUTY. Uncle Sam ask­ ed for $2,000,000,000 of America’s saved dollars in the recent Liberty Loan. He will ask for $2,000,000,000 more next September. Are YOU going to be a Slacker when Uncle Sam wants more cash to carry on the^war? Surely not. It will be made easy for you to buy those bonds if you hkve the SAVING HABIT. So if you can’t go into the trenches yourself to fight for the* Hag, you can be a SAVER and help Uncle Sam to maintain the army that is fighting for your own, your country’s and the world’s liber­ ties. • ’ Let us tell you how easy it is for you to become a SYSTEMATIC SAVER. You’ll like bur plan, and you will be pleased with the courtesies we extend to our customers. /' ' Hastings City Bank Phone 2103 Maple Grove Residents Had Net Within Illegal Distance Of Lake.

The sack you buy today is just likej the sack you bought last week, or last month. That’s because the contents of every sack are made in IDENTICALLY the shme way as the contents of every other sack. No other flour can compare with it for QUALITY and DEPENDABILITY. When you buy flour for your family you want the BEST that your money can buy, and you are entitled to it. No other article of food in the home is AS IMPORTANT as flour be­ cause it is the very BASIS of all living. • Poor flour is a poor investment, because you can’t make good, light, wholesome bread out of it—and bread is the staff of life. The Apply al ‘The grain that is used in French’s White Lily Flour is thoroughly cleaned and polish­ ed, and you would be surprised at the amount of dirt, dust and "fuzz" that comes from wheat that LOOKS CLEAN. In mills "that are not as particular as we are, and do not have the equipment for cleaning, all of that dirt goes into'the flour and YOU HAVE TO BUY IT at so much per pound. In-French’s White Lily you get nothing but PURE FLOUR. Some of the reasons why French’s White Lily Flour is always the same, are: I st—We run this mill night and day, and it is a well known fact that a,good even grade of flour cannot be made in any mill that re­ mains idle 10 or 15 hours each day. The stop­ ping and starting .AFFECTS the QUALITY. 2nd—We put o$r grain .through I 7 sets of rolls. The ordinary mill has only 6 or 8 sets. That’s why French’s White Lily Flour as of such even granulation that the water and yeast work through it perfectly. French’s White Lily Flour has "grown up” with Barry County. For 40 YEARS it has been a household word in hundreds of homes in this county. ( If you want to KNOW how good it is, just make up a batch of dough from French’s White Lily Flour and a batch from any other flour you wish. Put them in the oven side by side and bake. If you’ll try this experiment you’ll think more of French’s White Lily than ever. French’s White Lily Flour is sold by all nrocers and elevator men in Barry County. Why not order a sack today?

It DOES mean saving a little EVERY WEEK, E\\RY MONTH, or EVERY YEAR. It’s a slow process, but continued over a period of years it makes SUCCESS a certainty. 'x One of the greatest opportunities for SAVING is right in Hie home. It DOES NOT mean that tho wife must stint ilie family cither in the QUANTITY or -the QUALITY of the ‘food >hr prepares. It DOES MEAN that, she must be discriminating in what she purchases. Then* are mnnv foods that are BETTER than others and go further, and at the same time DO NOT COST ANY MORE. It is ECONOMY to use. such food products, because it really means ‘‘SAVING MONEY.” *z <hic of thv food products that will lend to.the greatest SAViu every household, is French’s White.Lily Fhmr. It is MAN- UFACTL’RED BETTER than any other Hour on the market, but through economies in its manufacture, it is sohbot the same price you would pay for an ordinary Hour. The economies/bt. manufacture con­ sist in running day and night and getting a 24 hour OUT PUT nt nn “8 or 10-hour expense;” owning our own wnter-jiower;'bur own mill; light system, etc. The economies we make in manufacture wc-put right back into MAKING OUR FIX)UR BETTER. That’s WHY you can buy French’s White Lily today for the same money, or less than you would have to pay for the ordinary kind* It stands to reason that when you use French’s White Lily Flour you actually. SAVE MONEY, because it is the BEST Hour thnt any mill can produce. It hns no competition when QUALITY nnd PRICE nre considered. It’s the one brand of Hour you can buy, nnd know in advance thnt the last sack you Irought will be just like t)ie sacks of it that you have lx)light liefore, because it is ALWAYS made just the same. • • Using French’s White Lily Flour simplifies work in the homo; it makes it easier for the housewife; it guarantees better food for the Tamily, and at tlie Mime time it’cuts down the living expenses. Wliy not order a sack next time?

Department Department Every person who has bills to pay—(and who has not?) should have a commercial checking account with us and should pay all accounts by check. A few dollars left with us will begin earning you some­ thing 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 expected 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 way we do at our bank, the account has grown until the depositor has a good sum to invest in some paying business.

If one had nothing to do but avoid the discomforts of the heated season, summer would be one long delight. But women must work in the kitchen if we are to have anything to eat, and a , kitchen soon becomes an inferno, where the cooking is done with wood or coal. , ' . ' ------- ,,— Why not make your wife happy, and your kitchen cool and . comfortable, by providing her with a NEW PROCESS WICK OIL' COOK STOVE. Turn a valve, apply a match, and you haye.fr hot blue flame. When through put out the flame, and all HEAT and all EXPENSE stops. There’s no great mass of iron to become heated up and become a veritable furnace all day long. A “NEW PROCESS” Oil Stove Burner will operate contin­ uously with FULL FLAME for 22 HOURS on ONE GALLON OF OIL. It’s the lowest price stove on the market to operate; it will keep your kitchen cool and comfortable; it will soon pay for itself in the SAVING OF FUEL. Why not get one for your wife?

SMITH, JR Delivers Meat to Rural Residents George Smith, Jr., the meat market man, has quite a unique way of rendering good service to the farmers who wish to purchase meat at his meat market. He covers a regular territory northeast of town every Monday and Wednesday with his motorcycle taking orders. Then on Tuesday and Thursday he delivers the pr­ efers he has taken. Any one living on the route he covers can phone their order in and it will be given prompt attention and delivered with the other orders.

Saving is largely a habit and this Bank encourag es that habit.. Our system of taking your small deposit each week or month and placing 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 the facilities we can place at - his disposal, and the great relo 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 ia 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 care* less about the future* nor ia there any excuae for th ose who fail to provide for conditions which may •rise. f A little thoughtful consideration of t he future and what it will mean without ready mon­ ey, and what it thay mean with MONEY IN TH E BANK will convince anyone of the wiadom of < acquiring the saving habit, and of accumulating some money for the future.

White Lily Flour JiitM Just a trial sack of French’s White Lily Flour is all we ask you to buy, if you are not familiar with it. Thous­ ands of its very best friends today, began trying it in just that way. They were_ so well pleased with the UNI­ FORM QUALITY of French’s White Lily that they have never foui^d anything to take its place. 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. a Krit -touring ear in good condition. Ed. Blair, 126 E. Green BL . tf. We are now creeping up towards the half century mark in making nothing but French’s White Lily Flour. We supplied the old pioneers of Barry County with their flour, and we are today supplying their children, and their children’s children. In thousands of homes the name of French’s White Lily is a household 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’s White Lily a good, thorough trial. Its QUALITY is al­ ways uniform, because this mill runs night and day, year in and year out, and runs by water power, the BEST and moet even power known.. This it what helpa 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 used. -./J 4 ' . When you use Franch’s White Lily Flour, you run absolutely no chances. Every SACK1 is GUARANTEED to be SATISFACTORY TO YOU. If it should not be, all you have to do is to return it to your Grocer of Eleva­ tor Man and get your mobey back. It is a matter of satis­ faction to us to be able to make flour that we can GUAR­ ANTEE and it is likewise a matter of PROTECTION to every user of it. Every sack of French’s White Lily is made and sold under our own name and trademark, so you cannot go wrong. We guarantee it alike to your Gro­ cer, your Elevator Man, and TO YOU. It is the real QUALITY FLOUR that is recognized as THE BEST by aJl competent judges, and used by the BEST COOKS. If you have never used French*s White Lily, why not begin NOW? You 'cannot commence any sooner. One trial will convince you of its superior quality, and that it is just the flour you have been looking for. You will use it eventually. wrydelayZ The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R.

That’s her part in the war. Some one must be kept rich enough to meet this war’rf pay roll. That’s our job.

Is Here The dftmand for young people is greater today than ever before in the history of the country. Young men and young women are not only wanted for position^ as stenogra­ phers, bookkeepers, secretaries, clerks, etc., in- »he business ' houses of the country, but the United States Government is making urgent calls, pleading for their services. Young men directly out of our school are securing positions paying from $1,000.00 to |i,5oo.oo a year to start. Our young wo­ men are now being placed at from $13.00 a week to $65.00 a month on. graduation. r In one day recetly we placed seven young women . at an average salary of $58.00 plus per month, and with ex­ cellent opportunities for further advancement. The Government is offering all who pass the Civil Service examination employment a\ from $900.00 to \ '$1,300.00 a year to begin. Calls are coming on us some­ times at the rate of eight or ten a day. Wp have nowhere nearly enough graduates to meet the demand. Managers and Executives Wanted ' OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT IN BUSINESS WERE NEVER SO GREAT AS THEY ARE > RIGHT NOW. THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN ARE WANT­ ED TO STEP INTO POSITIONS LEADING DIRECT­ LY TO MANAGERIAL PLACES. And when this war is over, our prosperity will really have just started. Understand, we’ve undertaken a tre­ mendous job. We've elected to end this war, and then we must feed and clothe and rehabilitate the European countries— Germany, as well as the rest. This means that these United States must continue to furnish Billions on Billions of Dollars' worth of foo.1 stuffs, machinery, clothing, equip­ ment and money. America today is the world’s storehouse, and the young man and the young woman who can see the tremendoud possibilities of today is the young man and the young woman who will be filling the executive chair tomorrow. A Patriotic Duty You may not be able to serve your*country on the battle fields, but you, young man. and you, young woman, can do your "bit" right here at home. ^?ou can fight for the flag by helping with the clerical part, by qualifying yourself for a good stenographic or bookkeeping position, just as truly as you could if you were in the trenches in France. You must in some way do your ■‘bit.’’ your share towards winning this war. Why not master these business branches? You're wanted not only by the Government but by individual business, and your salary will be gropter to­ day at the start that at any past time in our knowledge, and your advancement is absolutely certain.' The best way to show your patriotism is to qualify yourself for a retl iob—for a real place in the world of business. In our judgment you can serve your country in this capacity, just as well if not better than any other, whether you serve at home or whether you serve at the front, for there arc only dozens Qualified for stenographic, bookkeeping, or clerical work, where,there are thousands, literally thousands for the other duties.

WHEN WE SAY THERE IS ArWBstAntial CHANCE OF A COAL SHORTAGE, INDEED WE .>RE AFRAID OF SUCH A SHORTAGE NEXT WINTER: THAT GREAT BOD­ IES OF -OUR PEOPLE WILL SUFFER GRIEVOUSLY AND THE CONDUCT QF WAR BE IMPAIRED." j'lP Every retail coal merchant probably has -a certain supply of coal on hand now, bought in April, May and June. He had to have this coal on hand for summer delivery to do hjs part toward solving the coal problem for next winter. He couldn't wait for lower prices. Shovelled Pocahontas, for instance, during tha Spring months cost the retail coal merchant $5.00, $5.50. $6.oo and evtn $7.00 a ton at the mines. No mat­ ter what the reasons for these prices may have been WE HAD TO PAY THE PRICE OR WE DID NOT GET THE COAL. x We have Pocahontas Coal on hand now that cost us $6.00 a ton AT THE MINES. We paid a freight chargc^of $a.as a ton. In addition to thia there is an un­ loading expense of 15 cents a ton. Besides all this is tjie handling expense covering the loading of wagons at the yards, the unload­ ing at destinatidp, wages, feed for horses, re- pairs on wagon* and harness, and operate ing expenses, all of which will add from $1.50 to $1.75 per ton. So it can be seen, on the basis of ttyese figures, that every ton of Pocahontas that costs us $5.00 or $6.qo at the mines, will actually cost utt from YOUR BIN. So you can see JUST where we stand. All that we ask, or expect, is a reasonable profit. We earnestly desire to furnish cxjtl to the public at the lowest pos- ARE COMPELLED TO PAY FOR OUR COAL, AND THE EXPENSE OF HANDLING IT. If every one is going to have coal thia winter, the coal on hand now must go into the cellars and bins of the consumers. Oth­ erwise. with limited yard capacities it will be impoaaibJe lor the retail coal merchant to handle the additional coal that must come‘in for the Fall demand. What this additional coal will cost we do not know. We hope that it will be less, but we have no more assurance than the public that the prices are going to be lower. The only man who will be absolutely sure of having coal this winter is the man who BUYS IT NOW. He may possibly pay a little more for i» .now than he will later in the year, ori he may pay lees. Blit he .Will hav^it IN .HIS BIN at atw rate, and he can buy with the knowledge that the re­ tail coal merchant has made only a small profit,’ even at the high price he is com­ pelled to Mk. f. •• i ; ’ . ■ you If, as a rekult of ihik; stat decide to buy.yoyr coat NOW. buy on your 'Own responsiMI! , price conies down and you find that you ; might have saved a little money, do not I blame the retail coal merchant.

A day or two saved during bean harvest time may mean hundreds of dollars to ev­ ery bean grower. The greatest machine ever built for bean growers is the genuine MILLER BEAN HARVESTER. It’s so good that many have unsuccessfully tried to imitate it. _ But the Miller Bean Harvester this year is far BE’ITIlR than it ever was befor.e. Here are a few of the latest improvements on this machine:— I st.—The shears are made of special high carbon steel that will hold temper and not dull easily, or bend, and they are heavier ana wider than formerly. , 2nd.—The main levers are 6 inches longer than formerly, making it easier for the operator to raise and lower the shears. 3rd.—The Divider Bar Extension is made of high carbon steel, one-half inch thick, preventing twisting and bending out of shape. 4th.—The Shifting Lever is 6 inches longer than formerly, makings it possible for the operator to easily shift the machine from right to left from an upright posi­ tion on the seat. 5th.—All Iron Work is’ of highest grade of cast iron, nhalleable iron and Bessemer steel. , There are several ojher very desirable improve­ ments. Call and let us show you this vyonderful machine. If you are a bean grower you cannot afford to be without a Miller Bean Harvester. ' Jo«cph L. V. P. Fraukcnburger. attinf*. John R._ Wntkiu*.

Marshall and Church Bia. tf. One of Barry County’s best cooks, when asked why she preferred French’s White Lily Flour to all other brands, made this answer: "Because I can get more loaves of bread out of a sack of French’s White Lily, and better bread too than with other flours.”. That answer trill strike you as giving two very strong and sufficient reasons few her preference*,, , This housewife reached her conclusion* from actyal result* in baking in her own kitch­ en. We can tell you why she obtained such results: First, we use only the best;grade 4f Mich* igan wheat. Next our mill has every appliance known to the art of an even, perfect granulation. That permits every particle of the flour to be ing in the bread—so it goes farther than other flours. Third, our mill runs 4* have round, so that the machinery does not cool down, which insures perfect milling. ' the steadiest power known—our own water power. Well toward a half century’s experience in~ producing French’s White Lily abled us to make a product that sets the pace. More of it is used in Barry county th flours combined. And French's White Lily costs no more than most of the inferior ( owning our own plant and water power, and running our mill night and day so « that we canTumish a better flour for the money than others. You can buy French’s White Lily at every grocery and elevator in Barry;np sack today. ■fall other The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville R. T.

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. Our Thrift Tax and Vacation Club is now being or­ ganized. You can join thi» 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 3rd. You should join the clubl If you do not care to save this money for Vacation or Taxes, you can use it to some other GOOD PURPOSE. Remember you can start now to provide any amount for any purpose. Every penny you deposit in this Club 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. .

J. Argnbright, Pres., Box 204, Battle Crook, Michigan. Never has a nobler Or more patriotic /duy presented itsell to the teachers and managers of high-grade business schools, for the accoihplishment of this great work lies with them. Our first logical move is to give ample publicity to this emergency. We want every family in every community with a son or-daughter,. properly equipped by age and education <o acquire a buaineas training, to be made thoroughly familiar with this situation. A Patriotic Duty THOUSANDS OF YOUNQ WOMEN WHO DO NOT NEED TO WORK FOR THE SAKE OF EARNING A LIVING. SHOULD COME FORWARD AND TRAIN THEMSELVES. ^AS A PAT­ RIOTIC DUTY, AND THEY WILL DO SO WHEN THE NEED OF THEIR SERVICES IS 'MADE CLEAR. Wc believe that the young women of our nation must, and will meet this emergency. The way is being pepfirtd, for them in Government Service, where women have never been criqiloyed before—thousands, of big employers are advertising the fact that young womejn are want­ ed for clerical positions, for executive chairs, Jor places where they have‘always insisted on having men in times past. Thi* institution is making a special effort to have the young women of the country and the younger men realize something as to the op­ portunities before them. We have arranged to train those who come with us in the shortest possible time, consistent with .thorough work. The Demand Is Great . We now urge upon you the need of early preparation. Conditions throughout the country are becoming serious. The securing of office help is a problem. Wc are fairly deluged with telephone calls, letters, and personal appeals for help to do the work required. Every student, either young man or young woman, who will complete our course cl study within the next three months is already engaged to go to u-orkat the earliest possible moment that we feel it is safe for, them to assume their business duties. This need for help by the Government is str serious that the Civil Service Commission have committed themselves to the statement—"THE STUDY, OF SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITING BY A GREAT NUMBER OF PERSONS WITH THE VIEW OF ENTERING THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE WILL BE JUSTIFIED." , . THAT IS A GOVERNMENT STATEMENT. UNDERSTAND. AND WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY URGED. AS A PATRIOTIC DUTY, TO BRING THIS NEED TO YOUR ATTENTION^ . • You Must Do Your Part In sonic why or another, you must do your share toward winhing this war. You young wojnen, and you younger men, are not able to serve your country oh the battle field, but you cah do your part right here at home. You can fight lor the flag by helping out in this critical business need, just as truly as you could if you were fighting in the trenches in France. A young woman recently fame to our office, and said: "'Mr. Argubright, my brothers hjive gone to the front. They will soon be on the battle fields. Now I want to do my part. I think it is just as important to keep the wheels of business moving, just as important to see that my brothers are fed and clothed, as it is to dig a ditch or carry a musket. So I want to train in the shortest possible time to help out." She is here now, preparing to answer the business call. Need wc say that she's doing her part each day? Do we need to add that she’s a splendid student, or that she'll soon be ready to step out into the business world. ..

Even under ordinary con­ ditions, when a large part of the coal has been delivered during the Summer months, every one of our men, every team and every pairs on wagons and harness, and operat­ ing expenses, all of which will add from $1.50 to $1.75 per ton.

All that we ask, or expect, is a reasonable profit. We earnestly desire to furnish coal to the public at the lowest pos­ sible prices OUR PRICES, however, MUST BE BASED UPON WHAT WE ARE COMPELLED TO PAY FOR OUR COAL, AND THE EXPENSE OF •HANDLING IT. If ever), one is going to have coal this winter, the coal on hand now must go into the cellars and bins of the consumers. Oth­ erwise, with limited yard capacities it will be impossible for the retail coal merchant to handle the additional coal that must come tn for the Fall demand. What this additional coal will cost we dq not know, We' hope that it will be les*, but we have no. more assurance than the public that- the prices are going to be lower. The only man who will be absolutely .sure of having coal th'is winter is tha man who BUYS IT NOW. He may pouibly pay a little?more for it now than hq will later in the year, or he ma# pay loss. But hq will have it IN HIS BIN at anjr rate, and he can buy with the knowledge, that, tfie re­ tail coal merchant 1185 only a small profit, even at the high pri$e he ia compolled to ask. If, as a result of this statement you decide to buy your coal NQW/you must buy on your own responsibility.. II tha price cornss dpwn and you find that you might liavc saved a little money, do not blame the retail coal merchant. If die cqndhion that wc predict should develop, tbank the man from whom you buy for giv­ ing you an opportunity to get your,.,co*!} while there was coal to be had. THIS IS THB SITUATION A? WB SEE IT. WE DO NOT WISH TO ADVISE ANYONE WHAT TO DO. EACH MUST DECIDE FOR HIMSBLF WHETHER TO WAIT FOR LOWER PRICES AND GAMBLE ON THE CHANCE OF A COAL SHORTAGE; TO TAKE A MIDDLE GROUND BY BUY­ ING PART OF HIS WINTER’S SUPPLY AND RUNNING THE RISK ON THE BALANCE OR TO BUY ALL NOW AND BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF HIS COAL. . As to what will actually happen in the way -bf*’lMce, ‘ one map’s guess is as good as another’s. But cold weather will soon be here when everyone will be clamoring for coal and some will surely suffer in case of a threatened coal famine. normal fall U&UAa.AW. demand^This jyoar,^ . whenceold 1IUAAIMU A>UA * of Ionia, were eaBera ih the Orr home coratl EVERY ONE WHO HAS Tho W. whirh Sts* to 35; weather WAITED Is"GOING TO WANT COAL Wcdneadnv : Min riaiherino DourIm, al Kalama- hava bee* Tuekd»J>, , Ang.

Every housewife who’ has failed to use FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR to.do her b aking with has lost an opportunity of satisfying the whole family with good ^read and pastry. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR costs no­ more than other brands of flour and when you use this flour you are. not experimenting, Irfiaa been given a thorough test and is pronounced by the majority of cooks as the best they haVe ever used. • FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR has been m ade from the same formula fof and has given satisfactory results when ever used. It is of a higher quality than most because every known method has been used in. making i t a flour that would meet with val. Then again we have been able to put the maximum of quality into FRET LILY FLOUR at the minimum expense. This is made possible because we have-our own water power and run our mill night and day. Does it pay to experiment with other brands, of flour when you can purchase flour made right here in Barry County and is guaranteed to give good results?

Under the new Grain Standardization Law, the licensed inspectors are required to dock aridity grain not only for the loss in weight per bushel, but for the coat of cleaning and washing. \ For 1918 all this must be changed. The nation expects it. The slogan.'of every farmer of Michigan must be—“TREAT SEED WHEAT.” - The Cause Of The Disease The*teause of Stinking Smut is a parasitic fungus—a microscopic plant which makes no food for itself, but steals its living frorp the wheat This mold is spread byj small seed-like bodies called spores, which carried on the outside of the grain, sprout when the grain sprouts and bore into the young shoots. The threads produced by the growth of the smut keep pace with the growth of the wheat plant, and finally the smut produces in the wheat kernel its own kind of fruit. The smut crowds out the starch and put* in the swollen’ jacket of the wheat a smut powder made up of countless thousand* pf spores. - These false kernels, broken at thrashing time or at planting time contaminate the grain with smut spores. One smutted kernel will contain millions of spores, hence appar­ ently dean grain may give an extremely smutted crop. No one can afford to take a chance. To Control .Stinking Jmut , sTo control this disease it is necessary to kill the smut spores which are outside of the grain. This is beat done with formaldehyde. Two methods are available—ope. uses dilute formaldehyde and the other concentrated formaldehyde. In either method the grain must be thoroughly cleaned and finned. Too much emphasis can not be placed up­ on the importance of this step of the process. The smut balls and the light moldy grains caused by Wheat ^Scab are gotten rid of and a vigorous stand assured. A large part of. the plants which winter-kill are weak plants from weak grains which have gone into the winter in bad condition. • The Dilute formaldehyde Method Sprinkle thoroughly the- cleaned grain spread on a dean barn floor or canvas, or in wagon box, with formaldehyde diluted at the rate of one pint to 40 gallons of water (2 tablespoon*ful to 10 quarts). Use about 2 quarts of mixture to a bushel pf grain. Shovel or rake the grain during the sprinkling. Then put into a heap, tpv^r with blankets,CLEAN sacks, or canvas for four hours: The grain is shen spread out until it is dry enough to run through the drill. / The ffe» Concentrated formaldehyde Method This yelr we afro advising the new method devised at Cornell University. In this ✓ method the formaldehyde is used just as it comes from the drug store without dilution, and all the delay in waiting for the grain to dry is avoided. Simply spread the grain in a long heap. One man sprays the grain -while <nother shovels it over. Use a small hand ato mixer*—pint or quart size. Turn the grain ' from one pile into another just as one would mix concrete. One pint of formaldehyde is : used for 50 bushels of grain. For smaller quantities of grain than 50 bushel* use corres: pondingly smaller quantities of formaldehyde. ’ ;. After the grain is thoroughly sprayed cover with blankets, - or canvas, for four ■ hours—no longer—and then spread thinly fora thorough airing. Many fields treated by this method have given perfect stands and perfect control of ' smut. Either method is cheap and easy, costing labor and -all, not more than 2 cents a • bushel. Seed treatment is the only protection the farmer has against the occasional ’ smut ball .that way be in fairly dean wheat. One smutted kernel Can contaminate thous-. and* of kernels with spores. The thrasher, too, carries its gnit of smut from farm to ; farm. A comparatively clean wijgat may yield excessive smut the next year. In this fimc'of stress, it is the duty of every fanner to insure his wheat crop. No '■ matter how dean the seed, no matter how highly recommended it come* from any grower : er seedsman, treatment means safety. Let us"-treat every budid cf wheat that goes into the ground this fall. / ‘ ' Waters Bros. Elevator Co.? Inc. Dialer, in Coal, Flour and Feed. ' Phone 2150 Hastings, Mich. �30. 1»17. o Goodyear Bros.

We do far more than teach the rudi­ ments of business such as bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting, ‘penmanship, arithmetic, etc. We equip our graduates with alTthe proper technical knowledge. Then we add salesmanship, personal an­ alysis, individual efficiency, thrift, proper habits of life, and we develop them along the lines for which they showthemost nat­ ural talent, and lastly we place them in po­ sitions which give them the right start. Another large institution, in the state of Michigan, has asked us for two of our graduates, a young man, and a young wo­ man at from $75.00 to $100.00 a month to start.

Opens Monday, September 3rd, 1917 Runs for Forty Weeks Prepare for the Start and in 40 weeks you will have plenty of money for Taxes and Vacation Read all of this. Some Idea of the System Take Your Choice of 16 Plans Our Thrift Tax and Vacation Club ia now being or­ ganized. You can join- thia club and start a systematic saving, according to some plan which you may select, which you will keep up for 4Q weeks. When you call at the Bank for your membership card in the Thrift Tax and Vacation Club, simply give us an idea of the total hmount of money you will require and we will help you select the plan for-accumulating the sum you'wish to have. 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 san>e 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 eqpal amount each week. The Club will be opened September 3rd. You should join the clubl If you do not care to save this money for Vacation or Taxes, you can use it to some other GOOD PURPOSE. . • Remember you can start now to provide any amount for any purpose. Every penny you deposit in this Club ■ 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.

You should join the clubl If you do not care to save this money for Vacation or Taxes, yot» can use it to some other GOOD PURPOSE. Remember you can start now to provide any amount for any purpose. Every penny you deposit in this Club 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. When you Call at the Bank for your membership card in the Thrift Tax and Vacation Club, qimply give us an idea of the total amount of money you will require and we will help you select the plan for accumulating the sum you wish to have. . Four Plans are what we call the "progressive” style or paynient. 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. ; , THE SPLENDID SUCCESS OF OUR CLUBS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS IS FAMILIAR TO MANY SAVERS.

Considering Quality arid Price It Would Be Hard To Duplicate FRENCH’S White The question of’“living expenses,’’ and how to reduce them without affecting the health of the family, has become a very live one, and with the constantly advancing prices of nearly every food product, promises to become more and more important. > . Do the results of Hie scientific experiments, as to the relative food value of meat and bread mean anything to you? Dost it not point the way by which you can secure the BEST food and at the same time lower the cost of living? ♦ Some people have an idea that if they buy lour that ie made way off in eome other state, some lour that is heavily advertised, and put up in very attractive sacks, that they are getting a batter product. choice of ro-ur young My choice, 8150.

' And when it comes to making flour ECONOMICALLY and in •the BEST WAY, we know of no mill that can compare with this one. We run this mill night and day, year in and year out It only adds a slight amount to our expense, but by doing it we get a S4HOUR OUT­ PUT, at practically an 8 or 10 QOUR-ADAY COST. This cuts our General Expense in two. Our running our mill day and night is a benefit to all users of FBEXOH’8 WHITS LILY FLOUB, because it guarantees them the best quality of flour at the same price aad even leu than is charged for tho ordinary brand of flo^r. . ’ Why not try a sack today?

If French’s White Lily Flour had varied in quality, if it had been good one time’, and poor the next time, people would not have wanted it, v ould not have continued to use it- and it NEVER could have built up the lendid reputation it now enjoys. . The fact that it has WON its honors in face of the very keenest com­ petition is evident proof of its ALWAYS BElfJG THE SAME every time it is used. . For Sale—Fnnr fnorilr *-hno*c nnr blnrh from Riat' vm ' Juat the place for“a retired eon’ t Reputation is a matter of slow growth, and is a most valuable as­ set to iny institution. But we fully appreciate that the splendid reputation enjoved by French’s White Lily Flour in the thousands of homes where it is *xing used, could be easily and quickly destroyed, simply by lowcrnig its .quality. That’s why we say we prize the high esteem in which French’s White Lily Flour is held. It is one ?f our best assets. It shows that our more than 40 years of hard work have not been in vain, and that our constant efforts to produce the BEST FLOUR at the LOWEST POSSIBLE COST, have been appreciated. . ■Many an institution tries to live on its reputation; others try to “capitalize” it. All of them fall down, sooner or later. Sometimes you.see an institution win a glorious success. Then thinking it should earn more money, it commences to cheapen its product, hoping its reputation will con­ tinue to “pull business"—but it won't. We have never “figured that way." We feel that nothing is too good for French’s White Lily Flour.. No pains or expense will be spared to keep it at the bead of the list of the best flour made, and our economies in manufacture enable us to sell it at price no higher than is charged for flouts of inferior" quality. • If you will try French’S White Lily Flour just once, you will see that it is MORE DEPENDABLE than any other flour you can buy. You will find that each saftr you buy is just like the last sack you bought, because every narticle of flour has to go through the complete process of this mill be­ fore it*goes to tt|e sack. French’s White Lily Flour will cut down the living expenses of any family using it, and it will provide the members of the house­ hold with the best bread that can be made. , Why not order just One sack and try it?

Owner call Dr. Lathrop's h«n»*. runs continuously DAY and NIGHT year in and year out As our machinery ia all operated by water power.you can see the perfect conditions under which French's White Lily Flour are produced. We have every reason to believe that it is impos­ sible to find a flour on the market that will give entire sat­ isfaction, such as you find in French’s White Lily Flour. Taking everything in consideration this flour is bound to make superior baked goods and when you order a trial sack we are sure you will become a steady user. It is 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 won­ dered at that French's White Lily Flour is the most popu­ lar and satisfactory flour used in Barry county. 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 ia superior in every way to other flours that claim to be just as good. Do not be deceived—there is none so good as 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 j ust like other times. Nparly everybody's using it. If you haven't tried it yet, ask your grocer for a sack. He has it in stock. French’s White Lily Flour is the result of the best wheat grown, passing through the best and the newest, and most up-to-date flour making machinery that money can buy.

The find result of tiny war declaration is always a psychological depression. I analysed tliis three yours, ago. mid I foretold present conditions at that time. I tell you this merely aa a proof of the truth of what follows. ’ . In tlri' sumiiitT of 1914, the Canadian people were mpressed. A gi’eaUfeeling of unrest was felt in the United States. Tlien^eame the reaction. Canadian fighting spirit is now at high tide. Conunercially, industrially, financially, and in every other way, they are alive to the situation. As yet, America is not. This war =0 far has cost Canada $17.00 per capita and thousands of men. We are calling1'* million young men away from or­ dinary employment. The American jieople—You, anti your parents—do not realize the effect this, is going to have upon tho commercial conditions of this country. /. It is the PATRIOTIC DITTY of the American people to see to it that twice as many as usual girls and young men attend the Commercial and industrial schools of the country.this year. 1 consider it the PATRIOTIC DUTY of a million young women to ettme from the good homes of this country nnd,immediately equip themselves with Conunei'cial Training, so that they jnny go into the business offices and tlo the work that OtJt^rwise would bo left undone. _ » Michigan’s Leading Business Training School For Thirty-five Year* THT- MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND FORMAL COLLEGE TRAINS THOROUGHLY FOB BUSINESS AND OBTAINS EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL GRADUATES. ' .x •< Since it is practically impossible now for business concerns to get the help they need, what * will the situation be six months from now when hundreds of thousands more of our young men are taken out of commercial life? ’ . , * . Unless'the young women of the country—you—respond to this need, much business of this country is going to be strangled, because of the inability to get competent office help, to say nothing about sales people. Right now, one nationally known concern; need* five hun­ dred salesmen, but they are not even considering getting them, because.they know it is im­ posible. .

They have lost millions of men and we may lose many thousands be-1 fore this war is over. Where, young woman, where are-we to get the trained help to take their places, unless you come to the rescue! Please believe that I am sincere. Please believe that I am in earnest, desperately in earnest, i’q regard to the sitoa. tion before us. Individually, nationally, or internationally, there is no such thing as “Opportunity,” unless wa are pre- < pared to meet it. For tho last three years 1 have fought hard to do my part to awaken the public. I have presented this mat­ ter to you in every way that I know, through the columns of th e newspapers, by letter, and by personal solicitation. I have , tried to point out to yoii the tremendous need right jBOwyand if you could only look into the future, and see things as I see ' them, if you could only know this condition as 1 know it, if you could only realize how sorely you’re needed right now and .how much greater will be the demand for your services six months from now, we would need to double our quarters to care fotqqr enrollment At the present ratio of calls we will have about two thousand opportunities for you before you can possiblygel ready if you begin next XIopday nitrning. If yon con Id only see just where your patriotism really lie/y on would be with us in the immediate future. • ’ . lx-t me repeat. I have done all that I can do to awaken the young women, the young men, and the parents, of the country to theiwedlFof the country now, and to the possibilities of the future.

Ram 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 re­ volve rapidly against qach other iu opposite directions. This makes every particle of French’s White Lily Flour the same shape and size and is called “even granu­ lation.’’ 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. 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. Why not just try a sack of the French’s White Lily we are making today? It’s better than ever before. It don’t cost you any more, and every sack is guaranteed.

Preparedness is half the battle for success and the largest financiers in the country to­ day are men who had foresight enough when they were young to see the wonder­ ful possibifities for a man who saved his money. They didn’t have a large amount to start with, but they saved systematically, they saved a little every week and by doing so they were able to take advantage of profit­ able investments as they were presented. What others have done you can do, all that is necessary is to have enough will power to say, “I will” and you will be sur­ prised after you have started a bank ac­ count and have saved for a few weeks how the habit will grow with you.

Any fa nily that has plenty of Good Flour on hand is pretty well provided fo •. About the most substantial ar­ ticle of food is Good Bread and Bu ter. Cut out all the “laiickkriacks” in the way of articles th it.have no particular food values and you will be better off; you’ll e ijoy better health, you'll feel bet­ ter arid be better. ' But you can’t get good res ilts from baking Unless you have flour that is always the same. Th it’s where French’s White Lily Flour has it over other flours—it is “always the same.” You can al­ ways depend upon it. The last sick you buy is just like the one you had before. You don’t have to “guess" whether your baking will be good—you know that it wi 1 be. It is all on account of the perfect, systematic, and thorough way that we make the fldur. Ev­ ery kernel of wheat that goes thro uzh our mill, must go through the same process as every other kernel. (j There are no "half way'* methods in any of our processes, from cleaning and scouring the w eat, until it all passes through our , 17 sets of rolls. ) . . When you have a bounteo is supply of good flour in the house, you are assured of a good li iijg. Every year there is a con­ stantly increasing number of peo >le who lay in a Winter's supply of French’s White Lily flour, many o f them securing enough to last a whole year. .. . ,‘ ... -Si -gt ■ , Why don't you try it? If you give it one thorough trial you' will never be without it in your home. , ' You willflnd 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 i i* Winter's supply of Flour, be sure that it is French's White Lily, It is the best flour made, and you'll save money by using it.

They are doing just what e-ery one elee is seeking to do and that is get the beat for ' money. Tbe people who are using FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR have used other flours and chosen this particular brand of flour, because it has never failed to give entire satisfaction. , „ . , , , It is also the CLEANEST flour on the market because all the grain is washed and polished; all cockle, brok­ en 1 err els 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 other mills make. t, A- the re-ult of over 40 years of successful experience and the most modem equipment of machinery. French's White Lily Flour has a rich, nutty flavor all its own. Try it the next time. . . . We would not a-k or expect you to buy French's White Lily Flour just because it is made in Barry County . 1 eccu e we u;e MORE Barry County wheat than anv other concern the county. When you buy flour we ex­ pect you to buy bn MERIT alone. But when it comes to REAL MERIT we will be glad to have you investigate *° cl> French’s White Lily Flour is the most extensively used flour in Barry County.

So each dollar you spend for Quaker Oats saves an average of $3. Oats stand Mpreme among grain foods, in nutrition and in flavor. They form a complete food, supplying every need. As an energy food their fame is proverbial. Make this the chief breakfast dish. Meat and eggs cost five and sixtimes aa much. Also use Quaker Oats in bread and muffins, pancakes aud cookies. No other food is so economical. Use Quaker Oats becapse the matchless flavor. It fs made of queen grains only—just the big, plump, luscious oat*. Wc get but 10 pounds fpm a bushel.

Every doctor, as you know, urges Its use, to avoid the need of drugs. / Try it one weak. Note the good spirits which result. Never again will you return to a bnu>lcss«diet. ■ ■ Pettijohn’s Floar is another bran dainty. That is 75 per cent white patent flour and 25 per cent bran flakes. Use like Graham flour in any recipe. With these two products every meal can include some bran-made dainty. These Grocers Will Feature the Cooker Offer Next Week H«. MICH." . Frank Horton Woivsrine Tea Company ' W. A.

If your home or buildings should be destroyed by fire, you could not begin to replace them for what it would have cost you TWO YEARS AGO. I 'You carry Insurance to protect you from loss. A policy that would have protected you two years ago, would not give you much more than 50 per cent protection NOW in case your buildings, or building, should burn. , Word wa* received here this morn­ ing the marriage of Ford Demond and Mis* Sarah l^onard.

I I Proper protection costs but a trifle more than partial protection. Don’t have your prop­ erty burned and then find out that you are only insured for about 50 per cent of what it would cost you to replace your buildings. Under-Insyrance is nothing but a gamble against targe possible loss that may cripple you financially for years to come—and all for the sake of saving perhaps a penny or two a day. The siren shriek of the fire whistle and' the Hanging of the fire bell, which now chills you to the marrow, for fear YOUR TURN has come, will 4not startle you so, if you know you will suffer no financial loss. . I I These are some futures about insurance tha t you may not have thought of, and as it is my aim to be of SERVICE to all patrons, I deem ed it my duty to call your attention to them.

They are just as convenient, just as dean, just as time and labor saving, just as economical in winter as in summer. Think for one minute of the saving in time, 'fuel and labor. There is no carrying of fuel from the basement, no waiting for the fire to become hot, no ashes to cart out, no soot and smoke to soil the walls. Instead of all this work—all that you do is strike a match and turn a valve. At once intense heat is at your serviced And when the need is over, you do not waste any fuel, you shut off the gas by turning the valve. You can regulate your heat just as desired.

DEALER WANTED TO JIANDLB SAXON CABS Trr The Most Important Part of Buying Flour Is to Consider the Quality If you have had “baking troubles” in the put why continue using the brand of flour that you have been using? It costs no more to buy a good quality of flour than it does to use flour of an inferior quality and the re­ sults are far more satisfactory. . ■ FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is the result of years of experience and study. Our one thought has always been to improve the quality regard­ less of cost. , By following this policy FRENCH’S WHITE LI LY FLOUR has forged to the front and there we propose to keep it. Our efforts have been amply rewarded by the ever increasing demand for this popular brand of flour. INSIST ON FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR THE NEXT TIME YOU BAKE Don’t accept anything that is claimed to be just as good as FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, insist upon this brand of flour and your baking troubles will be over.

When we began making French’s White Lily Flour, more than 40 years ago, we knew that people wanted: (1) The Best Quality at (2) The Minimun Cost, that would result in (3) More Loaves of Better Bread than they could get in other brands of flour. We felt then as we do now that the folks whose patronage we wanted had a right to expect these things in their favorite family flour. We built up our business by satisfying that expectation in the thou­ sands of homes where French’s White Lily is a family stand-by, the dependable flour year in and year out. The fact that our big mill has had to run night and day for many years is the most ample proof our success in producing lhe flour that accomplishes these three things which we set out to do. Buying only the best quality of winter wheat; Milling it in the best equipment of milling machinery known to the mill­ ing art; A 24hours day output with almost no increase in overhead expense; Runing our big mill with our own water pow­ er — the steadiest and best-known; Over 40 years of successful milling experience, concentrating our efforts on the one thing; processing our flour in such a superior way that each particle of flour is the same as ev­ ery other and is reached and affected by the yeast, instead of having large and small particles as in inferior flour. All these advantages enable us to produce a flour that makes more and better loaves of bread, and sell it ata price but littleabove, and in many cases at no greater cost than in ferior flours. You are interested in all this, because bread is the staff of life, and the foundation of real home life and living. There’s more of French’s White Lily Flour used in Barry County than of all other Flours combined. You know why that is so, and what it means. Every Gro­ cer and Elevator handles French’s White Lily Flour. Order a sack to-day. The Middleville Roller Mills Middleville,' Michigan. �THE HASTINGS BANNER NTY The Secret To Success Geo. A.

Why bakers use "Spring" wheat flour in­ stead of "Winter" wheat flour for their bread making. Because, "Spring" wheat flour ia the strongest, as it contains the greatest per cent of gluten, which produces a greater yield, both in weight and volume of bread. There are two distinct differences be­ tween "Winter” wheat and "Spring" wheat, the “Winter" wheat being a much softer wheat makes a much softer flour. "Sprin«" wheat is a much harder wheat and especially grown in the North and Northwest is much better for bread than that which ia grown in the southern part of wheat belt. “WHEATHEART" bread, however, is made from the northern grown "Spring" wheat flour.

Aid 4Ua*r. . , Things That Will Help You To modernize your farm home The 20th cehtury demands that the rural home be provided with the same conven­ iences as found in the city and if you will visit any of the up-to-date farmers, you will no­ tice that they have installed modern conveniences in their homes and. consequently have made life for themselves and family on a farm worth while. We can prove to you where this is possible for you, because the cost is comparatively small compared with the way it will increase the value of your farm home.

And jt’s thousands of users will toll you that from a given quantity of it you will get MORE good, pure whole ome loaves of bread than from a similar quantity of nny other flour you can buy. So if you arc looking for QUALITY in flour French’s White Lily is your BEST BUY. ’ When it comes to “food value,” flour is the lowest priced product on the market Nothing compares with it in price, and you can live on the bakings from good-flour. Every pound of French’s White Lily that you buy YOU USE, and it’s the best brain, blood and bone builder you can purchase. It costs you LESS per pound than ot her foods; you don’t have to throw away any bones, or tough pieces, aa you do when you buy meats; nor any cores or parings, as you do when you huy fruits. So if you are looking for FOOD VALUE French’s White Lily Flour is your BEST BUY.. , There’s no flour on the market that compares with French’s White&ily Flour in;QUALITY and PRICE. The FACT is that it doesn’t cost you any more money tjiuii flour made in the most conmon and ordinary mill. French’s White Lily Flour is put through five times as many rolls and processes us the ordinary flour, and our grain is most thoroughly washed, cleaned and scoured before it comes to the rolls. Due to the .many manufacturing economies we make in our running night and day, and operating by water power whieh wa own, we sell you French’s White Lily Flour practically at the same price, or often less, than you prty for.the ordinary flour. So if you are look­ ing for PRICE then French ’« White Lily is your BEST BUY. ' ‘ . If you want to cut down expenses nnd get the best value for your money, why not do as thousands of others are doing—buy French’s White Lily Flour? Your Grocer or Elevator Man sells it.

This attractive assortment of Ladies' and Misses' Coats has just arrived. It is the lat­ est production from one of the greatest manufacturing establishments to you. These garments were designed by the best style experts and chosen in groups, representing only the most exceptional values of them all. On account of producing them in groups, the manufacturers were able to of­ fer remarkable values, otherwise impossible, the more so as the materials were contracted for on last year's basis. Only a limited number of these garments were offered to each dealer in every leading city of the country and when our allotment is gone there will be no more to be had. Our assortment embodies the most advanced Winter Styles, garments conservative enough in design still to be in good style next year. The combinations of style and materials are so many that whatever coat you select, you will be sure to^have a garment that will be distinctly individual for there are no two styles alike. We welcomed this opportunity to present an offering of exclusive garments to our customers. It is sel­ dom that you will have a chance to secure such values in all wool materials. These coats are luxuriously warm, beautifully tailored and finished and decidedly distinctive in design. ’ Mr. aad Mr*. Bam Ostroth aro mov- fellowship service. *V«0*U«*I. 0BVBCHBS. _ , Vn.4 U.pld.

Arthur Lauteugh, Corner Michigan AFe. and The first thing to consider when buying flour is the quality, if you do that, you will have less baking trouble and you will be-more satisfied. French’s White Lily Flour has been made right here in Barry county for nearly half a century. Housewives who have used it once will never, use anything else because they get baking results that they are more than satisfied with. French’s White Lily Flour has stood the test for years and is of the highest qual­ ity of any flour on the market. It is not an experiment, but the result of years of experience and study. Our one thought has always been to improve the quality regardless of the cost. French's White Lily Flour has been forg­ ing to the front for years. We were not satisfied with me rely making a good flour, better than other flours and we have accomplished that point. French’s White Lily Flour is used in hundreds of homes in Barry County, it is used because they want the best and they know when they buy French’s White Lily Flour that they will get baking results that will be gratifying. hated—Fat cattle.

K (feoff, Lake Ode-M, Citizen. wm If you have had "baking troubles" in the past why continue using the brand of flour that you have been using? It costs no more to buy a good quality of flour than it does to use flour of an inferior quality and the results are far more satisfactory. It is absolutely necessary that you get the best grade of fl our, if you expect good bread and pastry. That’s why want to impress upon your mind that French’s White Lily Flour is the flour you want. ■ Your Grocer and Elevator Man Sells It The Middleville Roller Mills R. T. FRENCH, Prop.

WHAT­ EVER PLAN YOU ACCEPT, WE WILL SA VE YOU MONEY WHEN YOUR STOCK IS MARKETABLE. SHIPPING LIVE STOCK Our Co-operative Plan, and What It Means To Stock Owners Shipping live stock is one of the important departments of our busi­ ness. ■ To accommodate customers we will advance in cash 75 per cent of estimated value if desired as soon as stock is delivered to us. We will pay you the highest market price and guarantee you will be satisfied with the transaction. Any farmer who would like to sell his live stock on the Co-operative Plan, we will gladly accommodate him, giving him exactly the same deal he would get from the regulaily organized Cooperative Asso­ ciations. To all such, our records, books of account, sales records and returns are open to the most thorough investigation, so that you can be fully satisfied that you get the full market returns on your stock. To those who are not familiar' with our plan—our charges are flat 7c per hundred pounds Buffalo weights. We do not have jmy ntembership fee or do not maintain a sinking fund—we have no use for them because our shipments are all protected by old line insurance of which our customers are given the benefit—in case loss in transit you will receive pay without further expense to you. One Reason For Being Able To Save Money For The Owner of Live Stock Being but one of the several departments of our large business* the overhead charges which of course are paid by the owners, are so much smaller than for the ordinary stock buyer, that we can do this business on a much smaller margin and therefore can do better by the owner of live stock than the ordinary buyer. You can see how that is and experience proves it to be so. Carey U. Edmonds Proprietor Come in and let us talk our plan over with you, and you’ll deal with us the next time you have live stock to sell "A . ' • ■ . REMEMBER—We have been in the Elevator and Coal Buiinew in Barry County for yeara, we have alwaya dealt iquare with the people, have been tatirfed with imal! profits and quick sales, and when we say we can save live stock otwners considerable money if they will sell their stock to us we mean it, and we will be glad to have you make us prove it. This Co-operative Plan is nothing new to us, we have been doing business this way for over a year. We refer you to our advertisement in Hastings Banner, December 7th, 1916. ‘ .

Any woman using ordinary care can Insure Good Baking Results—Bread and Pastry that always please— and satisfy, if she uses French’s White Lily Flour. Near­ ly half a century’s experience in milling it, and with every facility for making it JUST RIGHT, and with the unqualified endorsement of thousands of particular housewives, who have used it for years, with 'whom French’s White Lily Hour is a HOUSEHOLD NECES­ SITY, we are warranted in the claim we make. Good Bread and Good Pastry require Good Flour. And we GUARANTEE French's White Lily, every sack of it, to be Good Flour. That Guaranty is printed on every sack. No Flour can be better, because we have* every appliance for making the BEST FLOUR, and we make it. Running our big^niill 24 hours a day, with no . increase in overhead expense, enables us to sell French's White Lily at as low a price as inferior flours sell for. So when you buy Frenchs White Lily you practice true economy and buy Baking Insurance also. THERE’S MORE OF FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR USED IN BARRY COUNTY THAN OF ALL OTHER FLOURS COMBINED.

Proving A Big Success Since changing our business from a credit, to’a strictly cash system our business has increased Wonderfully. Our customers like it better, they have confidence in us and know when we tell them we can save them money if they will pay cash for what they buy, they believe us. This is the reward we get for always follow­ ing one policy, that of giving oiir customers the best quality, the best service and at a price that allows us only a fair mdrgin of pro- / fit. ' ' ■ Why we can save you money if you pay cash! By running a strictly cash business, we have the cash on hand to discount all bills. When you stop to consider that we buy in car load lots, and that the price we have to pay for a car load of goods, runs into thousands of dollars and when we are able to discount the bill it is a big item and amounts to a good deal during a year’s time. This combined with the fact that we can cut our postage bill, which we have previously had td pay out for sending state­ ments, writing letters in order to make collections, assures our customers that we can sell cheaper, for Wte are willing at all times' to split our profits with them. „. _ , Edmonds Brothers BARRY COUNTY’S BIG ELEVATOR” HASTINGS, Carey U.

Inquire at BANNER office Green Street between Jefferson If You Want “Quality” Flour and “Clean” Flour You Will Find French’s White Lily Just What You Are Looking For It is not an easy matter to describe the various processes in the manufacture of flour, but your own gopd judgment will tell you that the more even the particles of flour are, the better it will absorb the yeast and mois­ ture when you come to making bread, Your own good sense will tell you too that the more perfect the grain is cleaned, the cleaner the flour will be, and the less impurities there will be in the flour. In the manufacture of French’s White Lily Flour we put the grain through 17 different sets of rolls, each one reducing the particles of flour to a more even granulation. Flour made by the ordinary mills only passes ‘ ----’s White Lily__________ is BETTER_________ than other„ flours; through three or 'four sets of rolls. You can seefrom this why- French ______________ why it absorbs yeast more uniformly; why bread made from it is better, and why the QUALITY is always uniform. Before we commence to make French’s White Li ly Flour, ALL of the grain is thoroughly washed, sepured and polished. You don’t find any particles of dust and dirt in French’s White Lily, a* you do in,other flours, be­ cause it is all removed before the wheat gets to the rolls. The dust and dirt that is too often found in flours made in ordinary mills, detracts from the quality of bread made from it, and when you buy it you have to pay “flour prices for it. If you are having difficulty in baking bread of satisfactory QUALITY, why not try a sack of French’s White Lily. Make a batch of bread from French’s White Lily and a batch from any other flour claimed to be just as good. Bake the loaves in the same oven at the same time. We’ll be glad to abide by the RESULTS, because we know in advance what they will be. There is more French’s White Lily Flour sold in Barry County than of all other flours combined. That’s the best evidence of what people who USE it really think of it French’s White Lily is sold by all Grocers and at all Elevators in Barry County and it doesn’'tt cost you any more than ordinary flour. Why not order a sack to-day? 1M te tss Wtody fnrnisUd. eTrirtfr The Middleville Roller Mills R. T. FRENCH, Prop.

Our customers like it better, they have-confidence in us and know when we tell them we can save them money if they will pay cash for what they buy, they believe us. This is the reward we get for always follow­ ing one policy, that of giving our customers the best quality, the best service and at a price that allows us only a fair margin at pro­ fit w a , WTiy we can save you money if you pay cash! By running a strictly cash business, we have the cash on hand to discount all bills. When you stop to consider that we buy in car load lots, and that the price we have to pay for a car load or goods, runs into thousands of dollars and when we are qble to discount the bill it is a big item and amounts to a good deal during a year’s time. This combined with the fact that we can cut our postage bill, which we have previously had to pay out for sending state­ ments, writing letters in order to make collections, assures our customers that we can sell cheaper, for we are willing at all times to split our profits with them. . . j . «i HASTINGS -r-www* w.*r .......

They are doing just what every one else is seeking to do, and that is to get the best for their money. They have used FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, they have tried other flours. But they all come back to FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR betause it is the best made flour on the market. -rIt isn’t a question of experiment when you use FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. It has been tested time and again and has proven beyond a doubt that it contains only the purest and highest quality of ingredients, and has met with the approval of the majority of housewives for years. What more can you ask when you get a flour that will give good baking results and is no higher in price than the inferior brands of flour that are on the market. • It’s a costly proposition to be trying different brands of flour that you know nothing about. If you have poor bak­ ing results and waste several batches of bread or pastry in trying out other brands, you will probably wake up to the fact that it pays to use a flour made right in your own county and one that is guaranteed to give satisfaction or your money back. i What land of flour are you using? Is it the kind that makes baking day a dread, or is it FRENCH’S WHITE LILY, the flour the best cooks use? Does it pay you to EXPERIMENT with flour when you can buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY for the same price you have to pay for the inferior kinds? Think it over. Order a sack to-day.

Nothing would please you more than to receive a piece of fine furni­ ture for Christmas—and you are just like everybody else.

French’s White Lily Flour We have rarely found a person who ever used FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, who was not perfectly satisfied and who would never bake with any other kind. There’s a reason for this—FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is of the highest quality and is guaranteed to give satisfaction or your money back. We have a formula for makingf this flour and it would be impossible to improve on it. We know that every sack that leaves our mill will be welcomed in the homes of our customers, because they will get baking results that will be pleasing and will have bread and pastry that will please every member of the family. Don’t take our word for it, but ask any of your neighbors who are using FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR what they think of it. It will be safe to say that they will tell you the same as every one else has and that is, once tried always used. AU we ask of you to do is to order a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, give it a thorough test and we are positive you will become a regular customer.' You can’t help but be, the flour will give satisfaction and the price is no higher than you would have to pay for other flours of inferior quality. m Nearly every grocer and elevator man in Barry County sells FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR and has sold it for years. Any of them will teU you that they never sold a flour which gave the genuine satisfaction that this flour gives. Why not try it yourself and see? . . i J ; Order a sack to-day from your grocer or elevator man, and we will guarantee your Christmas baking will be a success The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville, R.

The year 1917 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 rewarded our efforts to make. FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR, a flour that would give satisfactory baking results at all times. Into every pound of French’s White Lily Flour that has been sold have gone our very beat 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 SOMETHING 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 because it has given a BETTER FLOUR without increase ing the cost in any way. There is really a great satisfaction in mak­ ing a food product that meets with popular favor. There is great pleasure in knowing that French’s White Lily Flour 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 costs no more than ordinary flour. So we close the year 1917 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, Why not start the New Year right by ordering a sack of French’s White Lily Flour?

A’TMOTIC ANNIVErRSAR' At Frank Horton’s ighteen yean agd this month we started in what has proven to be a fairly successful business. They have been yean of hard, patient work, yet we have enjoyed onei of them because we know that we have been of genuine SERVICE. Our aim has always been to use people right, to give them a square deal, and tbe vary beat s could for the money. It is a genuine PLEASURE to us to reflect upon tbe fact that a large number of our patrons, who commenced with us 18 YEARS AGO racing here. In the meantime we have added many more. To one and all of them w* want to take this occasion to extend our sincere thanks for the splendid patxjhrded us. We have always extended credit, and delivered goods. The “Cash And Carry” System Changed Conditions Demand Changes _ "The world moves'* and we have to adjust ourselves to it. The war has brought on a period of high prices, and it has taught us as a people 3®me of its lessons. One of them is that we have been very and Extravagant. enterprise - *^?a4tefw «__2 ____ . „ 'Yankee ’ ’ . ’ ’ ’in .pushing „ for more i trade in prosperous times haaaadd led upon business a lot of EXd>ENf C ----------................................. PENSES, which MUST be added to the COST of goods, and which - the CONSUMER has to pay. Let me name just a few of them in . connection with the firm or individual who does a Credit-Business, Q. and who delivers his goods. There are the, expenses of delivering, ^^book-keeping, postage, losses from bad debts, forgotten charges, “:*jakes in accounts, and many others. ALL of this expense has to idded to the COST of the goods and the CONSUMER has to pay * This year through force of chanced conditions, and in order be “up-to-date,” as we have always been, we MUST change from a Credit and Delivery plan of doing business to the “CASHAND-CARRY” System. This will cut out the expense of delivering goods, losses from bad accounts, book-keeping, postage and many other expenses: It will enable us to sell goods at the lowest possible prices. THE GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDS THIS PLAN It wants its citizens to SAVE ALL THE MONEY THEY CAN—^and SO DO WE. But no merchant who sells on Credit and Delivers His Goods can sell at as low a price as he can under the “CASH AND CARRY” System. Under our new plan we want to as­ sure our friends that we will ALWAYS give them the same service and first class goods as we always have, but at lower prices, making it of mutual benefit. If any of our customers want their goods delivered, we will deliver them for them, but will have to charge a small fee. To some of our customers this may seem a radical change, and of course it is, but we can SHOW YOU that it is of mutual ad­ vantage. The “CASH AND CARRY” Plan is in the air; it’s BOUND TO COME, because it offers the ONLY RELIEF to the people from HIGH PRICES. It cuts out all the dead wood from the ex­ pensive system of doing business in the past. We thoroughly believe in this New Economy System and know that it will prove profitable and satisfactory to all, and trust that we may continue serving you. "ISd, .The PEMAND of the times ia for LOWER PRICES and ALLER PRQF1TS. • In order that we may meet these demands lestly and successfully, which we MUST do, it is ABSOLUTELY CESSARY that we readjust our SELLING METHODS in order XOWEjrrflE HIGH COST OR DOING BUSINESS.

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.
