Present indications point to a serio us shortage of merchandise this year. We have contracted for large shipments to be delivered early in order to protect our trade on low prices, in most cases our retail prices will be lower than what the manufacturers are asking already, so here again we prove to our trade that we are on the lookout all the time to benefit our customers which in retur n means benefit to ourselves. We expect each year to be able to broaden out a little, have more merchandise, more bargains and more comprehensively shown. We need your help in this and as it is your store we will ask you to make it your headquarters this year. Don’t spend your money in Grand Rapids, nor send it to the m ail order houses, it will not help our town. Every Coat, Suit, Dress and Fur piece is marked down to a price that will save you many dollars.

Our greatly increased room will afford us the opportunity of greatly enlarging our stock which we have w anted to do for a long time, but which we could not do on account of our limited quarters. We have carefully built up this business on the sure foundation of COMPLETE SATISFACTION, never admitting to'ourjstocks anything that we would not recommend. In our new location we^willhave one of the largest and most complete Variety Stores in Western Michigan, and after we are located in our new Double Store, we will be able to give BE. 1 I ER SERVICE than ever before and a far larger stock from which to make your selections. Our ai m has always been to quote the LOWEST PRICES that we possibly could, compatible.with the standard of merchandise worthy of our recommend. We want to take this occasion to thank the people from all parts of Barry County, and even from adjoining counties, who have favored us with their patronage and whose confidence in us and in our goods we cherish above almost anything else. After we have moved to our new location, first door west of the Hastings National Bank, and are open for business, we invite you to inspect our stock and will be glad to welcome you no matter whether you buy or not. i WATCH THE BANNER FOR FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS Phone 2479 G.

Why Unicorn Dairy Ration Is Better Than Other Preparations Because—it is so strong, 6 pounds of Uiucorn.will do the work of 8 to 10 lbs. of other feeds. What It Ib 1st-—A- complete grain ration suitable for any kind or breed of daily cows. 2nd—A high protein feed with an exact digestible analysis.

If a .short hitch is used the tendency Is to raise the front edge of the drag, while n longer hitch makes It cut deeper and move more material. The correct length of hitch to use depends upon the height of the team, arrangement of harness, etc., nnd must be determined by trial. The amount of skew or angle which the drag makes with the center line of the road also affects the results. er the angle between the drag and the center line of tbe road) the more earth will be moved toward the cen­ ter. Usually this skew oLgle should be about 45 degrees, but here again the Judgment and experience of the operator must bo brought into play. The driver can control the opera­ tion to a large extent by shifting his position upon tbe drag. When he ap­ proaches a high spot in the road he can step toward tho front, thus mak­ ing the blade cut deeper, while nt a depression he can step toward the rear, In this wny raising the cutting edge and dumping the earth which Is being pushed ahead of the drag. By Stepping toward tho end of the drag nearest the center of.the road he can Increase tbe skew and sp more more earth toward the center line. wh|lc stepping to the other end ot the drag has the opposite effect. In road drag­ ging It Is especially true that “prac­ tice makes perfect" provided that com­ mon sense Is used along with tbt practice.

And the reason why people who purchase property through me are so well satisfied is that they always find things just as represented; a splendid bargain for their money, and . / on satisfactory terms. The reason why my business lias always been sucoess/ul is that I thoroughly know my business—the Real Estate Busi­ ness. Of the hundreds of farms I have sold, not a single person who has bought property of me, but have or can sell it for more money than they gave for it. And those who have taken my advice regarding property have no reason to regret it The reason why I can quickly sell your Farm, Home or Business is that I have a system of procuring purchasers which is a proven success. If you wislvto sell your Farm, Home, or Business, list it with me. If you wish to buy a property I can locate you most satisfactorily and upon most suitable terms, and save you TIME, TROUBLE, and MONEY.

(2) A competent auctioneer. Barry county has 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 irf Barry Co. will surely be announced in this paper; and if they are interested t(iey save the BANNER for reference, which could not be done with an ‘ auctioi/bill. . . . The cost of the service ia 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. haa shown that the beat buyera at an auction aale 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. be held on that date, Saturday.

The BANNER has advertised over 1,000 auction sales in the past eight years, and was never in better position to give satisfac­ tory service than now.

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. .Rjople have come to expect that a sale this is to be held in Barry Co. will surely be announced in thia paper; and if they are interested they save the BANNER f°r reference, which could not be done with an auction bill. ’ . .

The government requirements.in all lines have not only diverted labor, but have also diverted looms, so that manufacturing for civilian purposes is large|y cur­ tailed. Raw materials are scarce and exceedingly high in price. -The’ shortage in coal has compelled many manufacturers to operate on a short time basis. Trans­ portation is severely congested. f. Undoubtedly the most important In­ vention ever produced by a woman was the machine for making srtlfldnl eomb of 1 foundation for beehives. The Idea was dtiaa and Grand originated by Frances A.

While no DIRECT CHARGE was made, the EXPENSE had to be ADDED TO THE COST OF THE GOODS, and the consumer PAID FOR IT, even though it did no) show bn his bill. s. NO MERCHANT CAN SELL HIS GOOpS ON CREDIT, AND DELIVER THEM WITHOUT CHARGE, AT AS LOW A PRICE AS THE MERCHANT WHO SELLS ON THE “CASH AND CARRY” PLAN. That ought to be plain to everyone. .The Government strongly reoom mends the “Cash and Carry” Plan, be­ cause it CUTS OUT ALL THE WASTE, and REDUCES THE COST OF LIVING, which is sure to go higher and higher as long as the World War lasts.

The Government has directed that all Bakers shall use from 30 to 76 per cent of wheat Hour “substithtw” in mi&ng Bread, Pies, Cakes, etc. Any of these substitutes will make Bread and Baked Goods darker in. COLOR, but at the same time they will be .more HEALTHFUL to eat. It is impossible to make a loaf of WHITE Bread under the present Government regulations without using acids to BLEACH the contents. So if you are buying a real WHITE loatof tyread now, it is because of one of two reasons:—' . 1ST —The Bak*T is using too hitich \\ bite I; lour, and is unpatriotic enough to violate tlie GovbqpJ ment regulations, or 2ND.—The Baker is using acids to bleach his pro­ duct. We feel that ANY BAKER who would vTolate the Government regulation to conserve / wheat flour is UNFIT to remain in business, ami ' . UNWORTHY of the patrollage of patriotic peo­ ple. If you want to cat WHITE Bread that-is BLEACH­ ED with geids—why, it’s all up to YOU.. Wo do not do that kind of Baking—and NEVER WILL—to make our products WHITER. ■ Under present war conditions we feol that it Is an HONOR, nnd shows the proper PATRIOTIC SPIRIT, to eat Bread and Baked Goods that are NOT WHITE in col­ ori Tlleu you KNOW that you are doing “YOUR BIT” to help conserve wheat flour for the Boys in the trench­ es, and for our Allieg, who for nearly FOUR YEARS have been fighting bur"Tiattles for us. The WHITENESS of Bread -has nothing to do with iU.QUALITY. When it comes to real QUALITY the darker colored product* are invariably FAR BET­ TER, and MORE HEALTHFUL than the real WHITE products. z • TheStarBakeryCo W. R.

A million homes have been supplied with the ideal Quaker Cookers, But countless new homes in the past yearhave adopted Quaker Qate. •' A wave of economy,, plus whealless mrnls, have multiplied oat-food users. And millions of them — to get this match­ less flavor — are using Quaker Oats. We want those new users to have Cookers too. So we repeat this remark­ able offer. The cojft of aluminum has doubled. Cooker prices have enormously advanced. But we make new users the same offer that wc made to old. We will send this big aluminum Cooker for only $1, all charges prepaid, under offer made below. This offtr is for one week only. It aptlivs only to those who have no Quaker ooker now. If you are one of them wc urg? you to accept it We have others at A Million Homes Supplied For Quaker Oats Users We have supplied over a millidm users' of Quaker Oats with-ad ideal way to cook them. The purpose is to have Quaker Outs cooked rightly*. Quaker Oats—flaked from queen grains only — has .a wealth of flavor, Right Cooking keeps that flayor intact.' It makes the oat dish doubly delightful — makes it easy to digest. So wc had this Cooker made to our order — an ideal double cooker. It is ex­ tra large, so little or much can be cocked in it. It is extra heavy, made to last a lifetime. Extra Large and Heavy Cereal Capacity 2*4 Qt*. That is the Cooker — made of pure aluminum — which wc offer this week for one dollar; under the condition^ below. If you are serving Quaker Oats, or if you will, wc want you to have this Codker. Made to Last a Lifetime Buv from your grocer five packages of .Quaker Oats, or of Quaker Best Corn Meal, or five packages ofTnc two combined. Send us your grocer’s sales slip for the purchase and send FI with it. We will then send this cookpr to you, all charges_prepaid. Thia oner is good for one week only, and it applies to this vicinity alone. Address, v’ The Quaker Oati Company 1708 Railway Exchange, Chicago . The Two Chief War-Time Foods Quaker Oats Quaker Best Corn Meal At Yg the Cost o£- Meat The Best 6096 of the Corn Quaker Oats, measured by food units, is twice as nutritious as round steak. It supplies nutrition at a cost of five cents per 1000‘calorics. ' Meats, on the average,*cost eight times as much for the same food value. Eggs cost ten times as much. You can serve six dishes of Quaker Oats for the cost of a single egg. The oat stands supreme among grain foods, in nutrition and in'flavor. Il far exceeds wheat tn food units. It js the energ** food and the food for growth. It supplies every needed element in just the right proportion, it should be your basic food. Quaker Oats h flaked from queen grains only — just the big. rich, fla­ vor/ qsts. We get but ten poqnds from a bushel. So in this brand you get a wondrous flavor without any extra prjet. All eat-foods are doubly delightful if made with Quaker Oats. _ Next~to oats in economy comes Cort Meal. Wc make an exquisite corn meal, and pul it up in sealed round packages. In Quaker Corn Meal we use the cream of the corn —about GO per cent of the kernel. The fibrous outer coat is removed, because it makes coni meal coarse. The oily germ is removed, because the oil grows rancid, lust the hominy part — yellow or white — is ground to make Quaker Corn Meal. The result Is-superlative corn meal, yellow or white. The yellow loqks like grains of gold—the white like marble dust. It makes bread and muffins, porridge, puddings and pancakes vastly better than any crude corn. meal. Get the Yellow or White in round packages with topr. See how good corn meal can be. ' , These Grocers Will Feature the Cooker Offer Next Week G.L. Sherwood, M. L. Pierson, H. G. Wunderlich, W. A.

Notwithstanding the unit sual conditions of the past six mopths, its net gain during that period has been over $131 xxw.cto. . • The success of our Association has been due in no small degree to the constantly incress ing call for our Prepaid Stock, for it has enabled us to select a large number of choice real estate loans, only a smlil part of which it would have ■ been possible to handle had our receipts been limited to other sources. This stock, which is issued in as small denominstions as $35.00, pays semi-anntlally cash dividends of 5 per cent' per annum. We make no entrance or withdrawal charges, there is nfirlost time, and as it is exempt from taxes it nets the investor 5 per cent for every day his money is left with us. ...

Here is an opportunity to invest in a company that has ahead of it a remarkable future. ONE INDUSTRY TOWARD which all wise investors will naturally look is the cement industry, because of the great part cement is destined to play in every imaginable sort of construction of the future. It is rapidly replacing steel and lumber) for many purposes and the interest road building is receiving from state governments, as well as from the United States government, will increase its use for that purpose by leaps and bounds. INCREASED BUSINESS y IT’S FIELD FOR X CEMENT MARKET It will also in the near future build a cement plant. There are very good reasons for the location of a cement plant at Petoskey. There is no other cement plant in northwestern Michigan, and therefore, it has that entire region as a local market, as well as the Upper Peninsula and part of northeast cm Wisconsin, and by mfeans of water, transportation can sue- cessfully compete with other cement plants for trade in Green Bay region. |f-'one company, which today buys all of its rock, on which it has to pay a profit, from Petoskey, and in addition has to payjpprpximately $tooxx3o in, freight can make Jargc pro fits from cement, what tlicn wotild.you consider the position of the Petoskey Portland Cement Company that does nnt have these outlays anil makes large profits from the sale of crushed stooe besides if under equally good management? QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF ROCK /r Sulphite mills are offering*the above company attractive contracts (or crushed stone, not only because this particular /ft1,estonf *s in calcium carbonate, but because it is one of the cleanest, to be found^-thereforc adaptable for pur|>oscs ' i from which other limestone is very often excluded. Thia company owns over 50,000,000 tons «f limestone above lake level and easily quarryable. It cost the company f,, less than one-third of a cent per ton, and- would run a large cement plant for too years and leave millions of tons to be ‘ Aold as crushed stone. A thorough investigation on your own part will convince you that the above statement ’ of the Petoskey Portland ■, Cement Company’s position is. a conservative one. B The successful record of the men behind this enterprise, together with the many strong letters we have from priimi. nent Michigan men concerning their ability, and integrity, will convince you that better management cotdd.noi be secured. ‘ • - HAS A PAR VALUE OF J|io PER SHARE.

W.4L �HELP WIN THE In our business of .applying Bread and Baked Goods for a large number of families in this City and County, we have been most deeply impressed with their LOYALTY and sincere PATRIOTISM in accepting without murmur all government regulations. They KNOW that the Boys “over there,” and in the Camps at home must be well token care of, and that we must supply our Allies, who have been fighting our battles for us. And to do THIS we must all SACRIFICE, but up to this time we do no KNOW what “SACRIFICE” means. " '• ’ Whenyou get right down to "brass tacks" this is YOUR war. YOU are a personal part of it. ■ If the Khaki Boys win YOU win. If they lose YOU lose. It's a partnership affair. Anything that we stay­ at-homes can do to HELP WIN is so PITIFULLY SMALL, com­ pared with the SUPREME SACRIFICES of the Boys in Khaki, that we should ALL' cheerfully do everything that the Government asks us to do in the way of food conservation. . If we—YOU—do ALE that the Government asks us to do to conserve wheat flour, meats, etc., we ALL wouldn’t be doing onetenth as much as a single private in the ranks who marches forward to the music of the Union. The difference is that THEY give ALE. And ALL that we^—YOU—are asked to do is to go without some things that it would be better for us if we would do without anyway. KORN BREAD RYE BREAD LIBERTY BREAD Made from our own special re­ cipe, from Corn Meal mixed with ■ 'f WiV \J tlj-ii < I CO per cent white flour, balance | . This makes a delightful change That‘s how EASY our share is in this great world war. And yet all the privates in ALL the Divisions will be HELPLESS and im­ potent, if we—YOU—do not ACTIVELY help in food conserva­ tion, and food, production as well. Our—YOUR—part is SO trifling compared with the Boys, that it should prompt us to SACRIFICE MORE than we are asked to do in order that they may have MORE. THEY work on THEIR job ALL the while. We—YOU—must work just as continuously AT HOME. We have become intensely interested in food conservation and this Bakery strives to do ALL and MORE than the Government has ASKED us to do. We have carried on extensive experiments and brought out Bread and Baked Goods, very delicious to the taste, and very healthful. To convince yourself, just try any of the following.

Pocket is a Constant tatlon to Spend It. ^Thousands of dollars are carelessly thrown away every day by people who have money-loose in their pockets where they can hear it "jingje." It is SO EASY reach into a pocket! or hand-bag and pick out 5c, 10c, or a quarter and buy: something you eee>and wish fair, but do not really need. It's that constant "jingle” which does it. ; Put away in a Savings Account, all the "CHANGE" you' get except what you MUST-HAVE to carry you until your next pay day—put it where you can’t get your hands on iL In this way you will soqn have a littl e sum of money saved which.would otherwise ’ have been carelessly spent.

Oakland Service And Economy-- The Sensible Car There are splendid reasons why you should buy an OAKLAND. We could have tak­ en the agency for other automobiles, out we rather sell the OAKLAND just because welchdw how valuable a car it is. ' . THE OAKLAND is a highly developed type of a powerful, light weight automobile. THE OAKLAND is exceedingly capable under all circumstances. It’s engine delivers I full horse-power to every 48 pounds of .the cars weight. THE OAKLAND is economical. Owing to the efficient design of the engine and the light weight of„the car it ia unnecessary to use much fuel. Many Oakland drivers have ob­ tained 25 miles to the gallon of gasoline. * , THE OAKLAND gives Service. SERVICE is proved satisfaction among the owners of Oakland cars. We can assure you no other car can giVe longer or better service at a minimum cost than the Oakland. The accompanying picture in this advertisement will give you some idea relative to how the Oakland performs. Read the note below Qie picture. Other pictures of the remarkable performance of this car will be shown in our ad vertising during the coming weeks. The Motto of The Oakland Builders: “To build at a fair price an automobile so sightly as to up­ hold its owner’s honest pride, so competent as to arouse his genuine respect, so reliable as to win his deepest con­ fidence, so economical as to Serve his highest interest— this has been the purpose, is now the accomplishment, and will continue to be the endeavor to which Oakland devotes the whole of its energies, its resources and its skill.” Oakland Cars We Sold Last Week PETER ALLERDING WM.

Can yon not see the uplifted, pleading hands of the starving millions who'are beseeching you to share your tables of plenty, just the little that will keep life in our racked bodies and souls, so tom by grief, hunger and deprivation? God and conscience are witnessing every act, and those who have so mercilessly inflicted this indescribable tor­ ture upon us shall pay the exact toll. May God forever s pare your Mothers from the piercing, deafening, heart­ wrenching wails, such as we hear from our weak, emaciated babies, and we stand by so helpless. Knowing the pure American unselfishness and the gnat hearts that beat within your strong bodies, we entreat you to save us, but it must be quickly or it will be too late for some. • । May the Great God in the Heavens bestow upon your land and your people His richest blessings for your kindness and assistance already given. This Prussian carnage is adding daily to our terrors and suffering; we implore you to heed our prayers. ■ . If you actually realized our true conditions it would be needless for your splendid President to even request the conservation of food. ■ i • . ■ Oh Hear us, Great People, in these terrifying hours of oqr need. —Suffering Europe. People ofFreeport and Barry County Unless your hearts are turned to stone, you will save food, and save starving millions. Your son or your neigh­ bor's son may bo in want of food while fighting in the cause of Liberty. Will you help take food away from him and reduce his fighting strength or will you save food that will go to jum and give him the strength to fight the greatest menace to Liberty? , , WE CONSIDER OURSELVES THE GREATEST PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF GOD'S GREEN EARTH. WE HAVE MET AND CONQUERED OTHER WAR-TIME PROBLEMS. WE MUST CONQUER THIS. Let^Us Be Loyal To Our Sisters And Brothers Across The Water Who Have Sacri ficed and are Fighting to the Finish “The Creators of Hell Itself In The Name of Humanity Save Food Now! If you have been making a sacrifice at meal times, you must make additional ones now. It’s all up to you.

E-10730 �ATRIOT1SM u the watchword of America today, afforded every man, woman and diild in the U Patriotism means service. The opportunities for service States are many and varied. In the army, the navy, in the air, in the hospitals, the Red Cross, the factory, the shop and the homo, there is work to be done for the nation. ' The line ia sharply drawn—each one must be positive, not negative. America has no place for the cipher citizen. * One of the opportunities offered for patriotic ser vice is investment in War Savings Certificates and United States Thrift Stamps. Also it is the simplest and easiest form of service. Everyone can share in it. It is the pastime of Stamp collecting, but with less difficulty, less expense a*nd greater returns—helping to win the world war. The bulwark of freedom is the pennies of-the people. Mr. American Citizen, his wife and child, live in an average home with the Stars and Stripes hung from the window and a food conservation card displayed. He has bought a Liberty Bond, his wife has spent some of her spare time doing Red Cross work and they have not neglected to teach patriotism to the baby. Secretly they have envied those neighbors whose service flags indicate that some member of the family has been called to the colors. That opportunity passed them by through force of circum stances. But. they are glad they are helping their country in every way possible to them. , Mr. American Citizen learns of the War Savings Stamp proposition. Here is another opportunity. Every little bit added to what he’s got makes him a little bit more useful to his country, and he is spelling service in capital letters these days. It is his ambition. Every time he does something for his country he feels that much more satis­ fied. And his wife is prouder of him. Also he is aware t hat making the world safe for democracy makes it safe for his wife and baby. . ■ He goes to the poet office, the bank, the store, the factory office, or other station and buys a War Savings Stamp; he buys one for the wife at home and another for the baby. A little later he buys more stamps. He has become a collector and is having a lot of fun out of it. Wife and baby are just as interested as he in seeing the stamps accumulate until they can own a War Savings Certificate or three of them. Wife cautiously ascertains bow well the neighbors are doing in this stamp collecting and reports comparisons. It develops into a War Savings Stamp Community, out to make a record.

Hum . ^saaa^aag.-.Hwiinnilfaht , �Protect Your Soldiers With Dollar D x Parapets Lick War Savings Stamps and help lick the kaiser! You say you do not want Prussianism in America, the brand that devastated Bel­ gium! r Then you will have to help in summoning all the resources of this country for the giant struggle; for resources will win the war. Here is one way you can help husband the resources. Instead of throwing money away on unnecessary things, buy War Savings Stamps for $4.14, worth $5 in five years. This is 4 per cent compound interest. __ . ' ’__ > They are better than government money, for the stamps are worth 100 cents onthe dollar and draw interest, too. Your security is a mortgage on the United States. And who would not be a mortgage holder in Uncle Sam’s country? 1 A dollar bill is only a piece of paper. A War Savings Stamp is only a piece of paper. But backed by the richest and greatest coun­ try on the face of the earth, your security will never disintregrate as long as you successfully defend it. * Thipk of our boys oyer there, fighting to save the nation that is your mortgage security. The more we save here now, the more lives of our boys we will be able to save later. • Uncle Sam needs money to fight your battles, to protect your homes and your mortgage security. Today he is having a bargain sale in War Saving Stamps. You save for your homes and local comforts by watching for bargain sales in goods. Why not, then, accept the opportunity to get in on your country’s bargain sale for home and country? You must remember we are in a big war. We are going to win if we save in the little^things that go to help swell the vast pro­ portions of our resources, which will become the great bulwark be­ hind our fighting lines. . And, why should we waste in stead of saving? There are hundreds of ways in which you can earn money to purchase War Savings Stamps. In Germany the children gather tin foil, rubber and tin for the army. Your ragman will take your waste if you save as diligently as your foe. • As an illustration of what careful saving means, in 191 5, the first complete year Europe was at war, the United States collected $ 1 14,000,000 in old metal alone. That was twice as Much as we saved in old scraps in 1914, because we did not see the necessity for saving. In 1918, this saving;can be more than doubled again. And, what a tremendous lot of encouragement a few hun­ dred million dollars, banked solidly behind our armies, will give. 1 Dollars are the kind of parapets our soldiers want for protection. * To make this saving available for government use, it should be invested in War Savings Stamps, which will be one of the means for gluing defeat on to the kaiser’s crown. And, why not? Do you realize that thousands and. thous­ ands of Belgians, people just like ourselves, are languishing today in slavery under Prussian masters? And, driven • into slavery after they were lured back home by Prussian promises—more Prussian scraps of paper—broken pledges. You have read how the Prussians robbed, plundered and murdered these Belgian people. Reverse the situation. Put yoursel­ ves in the place of the Belgians. What then about the robbing, plun' dering and murdering? And, our turn is next if the German hordes are not driven into their own country, securely chained and riveted. You have read of the tremendously heavy fines levied against comrriunities by the Germans because of some trivial, fancied wrong committed by an outraged populace. Think of your own Barry Counjy being held up by a German general for, say $10,000,000 tribute. How would you like it? Then, why not now that Uncle Sam, your general, is pleading for a few hundred thousand dollars from this community to stem the oprush of the greedy Germans, give them to him rather than the greater sum Ipter to the Germans? Thitik this over. Help to lick the kaiser at home by saving and investing in War Savings Stamps. Help, too, to care for your soldiers, who will take care of the kaiser, if you properly back them. Any one of our soldiers will hook the kaiser off the world’s war stage, if we at home will give him a fighting chance. War Savings Stamps can be purchasedjit any bank and at the postoffice. * This Advertisement Was Paid For By The Business Men of Hastings X, �MARCH 14. 1018.

'RIGHT FEEDING A Cow Is No Better Than The Feed She Gets “ Stevens 44 Dairy Rations a feed which I can recommend to you and which I am certain that you will like. "Stevens 44 Dairy Rations" are made after a secret formula, prepared by Stevens Bros., of New York, probably the greatest and most scientific feeders of Dairy Cows in the world. They have given their whole lives to this work, and since 1875 they have produced and sold more Worlds Record Dairy Cattle than any other two firms in the business. Today they own and are feeding nearly 600 head of the Highest quality Holstein-Friesian cattle in the country. ' . These brothers and their ration came to our attention; we investi­ gated closely; the results seemed too good to be true—gains of from 5 to 33 per cent were reported, with no bad results. Stevens 44 Dairy Rations will increase the flow of milk; will do away with the worry of mishandling rich, concentrated'feeds through the carelessness of green help; will cut out all ud, der and teat trouble by proper feeding; will cost no more than any other equally rich-in-protein feed. Talk about EFFICIENCY! Think of the Dairy cow under the most^ favorable conditions as to care and fe ed. She produces in a year’s time TWENTY TIMES HER OWN WEIGHT IN MILK, and MORE than equals her weight in BU 11ER FAT. Try Stevens 44 Dairy Rations. You’ll be pleased with them. - .

The Reason Why People Must Use Flour Substitutes If Democracy survives, we piust win this war. If wa do win it, any sacri­ fices that we who stay at home, can make am so small compared wiih iha sacrifices that every boy who goes must make, that we ought to sacrifice willingly and cheerful- stitute flour than we are tuing. They have but little white flour, while we have much; Our allies need wheat. If they get it, we must ship it to them. We can’t eat white flour and'ship the wheat to our allies, that’s a ’‘cinch.’’ To save wheat the Government has decreed that the people must use aa much flour substitutes *» they do white flour. We ought to use MORE substitutes. It’s no money for us to use these substitutes. In certain ways it’s a nuisance, and a money loaer, but glad to do it. We are working our heads off experimenting and bringing c things. We don’t put thepi on the market until we KNOW they are R1GH experimenting costa money.

That's all there is to iL Barry County wouldn’t lead if back of it alL You are strictly ALL RIGHT, people of Barry County. The Sun doesn't shine on any better. But you are not BUYING “War Certificates” and “Savings Stamps” as and AS YOU WILL when it is called to your attention. ’ *- * ‘ . Beginning Dec. 1st last Uncle Sam wanted every man, woman and child in Barry County to buy about $16.75 worth of these stamps during the year, a total amount of around $375,000 for Barry County. Mahy people are financially unabjp to buy any. There may be a few who lack the proper patriotic spirit—other communities refer to them as “SLACKERS.” God pity them. That means that many families who can, will have to do far more than their share. Postmaster Dawson informs us this morning that up to the present time only about $40,000 of War Certificate* and Trift Saving* Stamps have been sold in Barry County, most of it in Hastings, which expects to go over the top with 100 per cent. What the Government want* is for you to buy ail the $5.00 War Certificates ydu can conveniently, and arrangerio'take as many of the 25c stamp* EACH WEEK as you can. That will afford a steady flow of money into the U. S. T reasury. But thus far nearly 4 MONTHS have passed, and not much over $40,000 worth of stamps have been sold. Get busy, Barry County.

The following splendid letter of ap­ preciation for the Service Flag recently presented to him-by the Hastings High School, was received this week from Maj. Homer C. Washburn, at present located In Camp Kearny, California. Maj. Washburn's letter shows tho deep feeling that he retains for tha Hastings High School, nnd will be an inspiration -to every boy and girl who reads it. The letter reads as follows: To the Hostings High School, Hastings, Michigan. Dear Friends: 1 received the Service Flag present­ ed by the students of tho old school that I love to think about when mem- staging just such an event as the above. There are no cities in Michigan the size of Hastings where, finer goods or more up-to-date styles or larger assortments of quality and fabric can be found, and it can be said with a considerable'degree of certainty that even many of the much larger cities do not carry so complete or up-to-the-minute stocks of goods as do Hastings mer­ chants. . ’ The time 8et for the first annual Spring Fashion Show for Hastings and L_. £s7n -a°ga^a is Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 21, 22 and 23.

Appalling Conditions Threaten America if we Waste Our Food Oui supply of food is only so much—an d now five or six other countries are depending on us to feed them that they may live and ONE POUND LESS OF WHEAT FLOUR A WEEK— Which means one hundred and thirty-three million bushels of wheat more annually for emergency or two million loaves of bread. ONE OUNCE LESS OF MEAT A DAY— Which means four million, four hundred thousand meat animals each year for ex­ cess demands. ONE OUNCE LESS OF SJJGAR A DAYWhich means ctae million, one hundred and eighty-five thousand tons of sugar a year making it plentiful and cheap. ONE-THIRD OF AN OUNCE LESS OF FATS A DAY— Which means three hundred and ninety-five thousand tons more fats each year from which to make glycerine, used for manufacturing explosives.

Michigan Foreword TO ALL INTERESTED IN BIG DUROCS:— In view of the fact that this is our first venture into the Duroc-Jersey auction business, it is new to us so you need not expect the usual line of "hot air" that appears in many catalogs. We are proud of the Duroc sows and gilts that we have to offer in this, our first sale, and if you ap predate them we .will know that our time and money have been well spent in founding one of the best herds . in the state. We are selling sow s and gilts in this sale some of them superior to what we bought and we have every reason to believe that these sows will do as well for yo >u as they did for us. They have been fed a balanced ration and have h ad plenty of exercise. Our footnotes will be short and to the point. If there is anything wrong we will mention that fact. The blood lines represented are of the tried and standard breeding. This serves as a personal invitation to you to attend the sale. You are invited and welcome whether you are a buyer or not. We expect to continue to produce the big Durocs and invite inspection. Thanking you in advance for any patronage, I am, ' '■Yours very truly, CAREY U. EDMONDS. Explanatory In view of the government report of an actual shortage of 6,000,000 hogs in this country, 1 did not feel justified in selling my Duroc hogs this year in the usual way, especially as mv herd is entirely a pure bred herd, from the best strains of the Durocs, which are conceded to be the most pro­ lific breeders, and the^quickest to get into condition for market. Everyyone of my.Durocs.is in fine condition, and my sale will be at a time and place that will be most convenient of access, and Hastings has excellent train service over the Michigan Central and Chicago, Kalamazoo & Saginaw railroads. 1 started breeding Durocs 16 yea rs ago, by the purchase of a bred gilt from Prof. Mumford, then operating at Moscow, Mich. I have always con­ sidered Prof. Mumford as the real leader in producing Durocs, and the herd will show how closely I have fol lowed his blood lines. An examina­ tion of the animals themselves will show that they are not only bred right, but have been handled right, to make them of the truest and best type. -General Information REFERENCE. > : i ^a8t*n8s ^ity- Bank—A.

ACCOUNTS FOR GHOST COLORS Eye le Especially Sensitive to T* Kinds of Perceptions, Light and Color Predominating.

Accord­ ing to the minute descriptions of such apparitions, given by patients to their physicians, the ghosts, with rare ex­ ceptions. were “dad In white.” Now, perceptions, vix., light and color. Tn thia case, where no definite color was jiercelved. the hallucination. In which only the organs of the eye sensitive to light are affected. Is declared to be white. Still, theye hre also colored appari­ tions of ghosts; u«j. we can Introduce Into' the body substances calculated to Impair our sense of color. ^TfensJ tho immoderate use of hashish producct violent visions; of alcohol, blue onefi; of a tropin and skopuluinln. red ones.

When you KNOW that you have “money in the Bank” against a “rainy day” you don’t know how good you feel, and 'it is surprisingly EASY to accumulate after you have once started. JUST SUPPOSE THAT YOU SAVED ONE QUARTER OF ALL YOU MAKE. Think What Such A System Would Have; Done For You, Had You Com­ menced It Five Or Ten Years Ago. Think what such a System will mean for you Five or Ten Years hence. It means the difference between SUCCESS and FAILURE. DOLLARS pile up surprisingly fast when you put them to work for you. That’s a point that most people do not appreciate, and do not think of. “Interest” is just like FINDING MONEY, be­ cause you put forth no immediate effort to get it, but it is really a reward for your habits of THRIFT. » '• We pay you 3 Per Cent Interest Compounded semi-annually upon your Savings, and every dollar you deposit with us is safe­ guarded by approved up-to-date methods.

I’m not a millionaire, and don’t want to be.' But 1 have accum­ ulated enough so that I can spend the evening- of my life in quiet comfort and happiness. What more does any man NEED? And by “stepping off the stage,” it will make an opportunity for some man, younger and more energetic thafi 1, to succeed to a good, well established business. . riSfiSMfl What I Have Done What I Am Going to Do I came to Hastings from the farm 30 years ago, drifting into the Agricultural Implement Business. By employing no Seiling Agents on the road, I saw that I could build up a good "one-man” busi­ ness, and sell my goods at a lower price, Ijecause I would cut out all that extra selling expense. And I SUCCEEDED. I have built up an established business, and hundreds of farmers all over Barry County come to me for their farm ma­ chinery—and I SAVE THEM MONEY. If I sell out, my successor of course will make his own terms. If I do not sell out, commencing, on THURSDAY MAY 16<h, 1918, my terms will be as as follows: On all sums of |5.00 and under cash. On al! sums over that amount, THREE, SIX 1 or NINE MONTHS TIME will be given on good' bankable notea with interest at 6 per cent. On ALL CASH SALES above $5.00 a discount of 2 PER CENT will be given. • If there is a man in Barry County, or any other County, , who wants to buy a well-established easily managed busi­ ness, here is his OPPORTUNITY.

Oakland Sensible Six The clr of wonderful performance. We know it is wonderful for we have tried it under all circumstances and in all conditions. . -; SERVICE AND ECONOMY ' are the “middle-names” for Oakland. The engine of the Oakland delivers one full horse pow­ er to every 48 pounds of car weight. Many Oakland drivers have obtained 25 miles to the gallon of gasoline. ’ . Many a man who can well afford a car much higher in price»is buying an Oakland Sensible Six today, because this car fully serves his need without imposing any penalty of unnecessary cost. Light in weight, ample in power, simple and enduring in construction, economical in action, any Oakland Sensible Six model represents a saving in its purchase and in its operation. The high efficiency of its famous 44 h. p. engine, delivering one full horse-power to every 48 pounds of this car’s weight makes it exceedingly capable under all conditions. We believe you will be well pleased with the full family comfort of its roomy body swung on long, slow-acting, semi-elliptic springs. The appearance of tjie new Oakland Sensible Six is quite in keeping with its ability and it is in every respect a car well calculated to arouse your honest pride: Prices—Effective March 1, 1918: , Five-pasutager Touring Car, $1050; Three-passenger Roadster, $1050; Four-passenger Coupe, $1550; Five-passenger Touring Sedan, $1250; Two-passen­ ger Roadster Coupe, $1210.

They take the heavy, hard work off the horses. They produce power at a much lower cost than horses. They arc not affected by season, or climate and can be depended on for as hard a day’s work tha first day after idleness as at any other time. . Thjy-are not bothered by flies, insects, etc. They produce power at a cost of only about half as much as gasoline tractor power. They require no care when idle and need only an inexpensive shed. International Motor Truck OWNERS OF INTERNATIONAL MO­ TOR TRUCKS GET “LOW-COSTSERVICE." । The Internatidnal has been built from the ground up to do the work of low-cost -hauling. . If you have hauling to do, don't pay extra for the privilege of using horses. Find out what you can wive by investing in International Motor Trucks. They are built in 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000-pound capacities—a size and style for every business—at prices consistent with high-grade construction and years of low-cost service. No successfal farmer can afford to conduct a f arm another year' without the service of an Inter­ national Motor Truck. They are a most efficient and economical implement for farm service. .We would like to see you and talk with you concerning the International. One will be on display in our show room at all times. DAYTON AIRLESS TIRES Have overcome the greatest obstacle to perfect service from automobiles—tire trouble: * . More than five years ago, they were first introduced. They have*proved their practibility under the moat gruelling conditions in practically every country in the world and on every make of automobile from Ford to fire engnie.. Fifty thousand sets are in use to-day on every kind of pleasure and delivery car. Records of mile­ age that seem almost unbelievable have been established and three out standing fac^s have been irrefutably proven. First, that Dayton Airless Tires are as easy riding as any pneumatic. Second, that they are more economical than any pneumatic. Thirds that they positively end all tire trouble.

Freeport, Mich �I SV 111* - Stick for Victory *• '' ’ ’ . • P ’ ; ■■ • \ ,- . * ’M -. * . . ‘ * . V . RESIDENT WILSON called the undefeated Republic to arm* last April. From that hour to this there has been one paramount duty staring every American squarely in the face . It ia a duty which is as constant ns the air we breathe^ It is a duty from which not one man jack of us can run aws(y. It is a duty which will thunder at our conscience every hour of every day until victory has again crowned The Star Spangled Banner and its righteous cause. It is a duty summed uji in thn Uno acrosk the top of thi# page: STICK FOR VICTORY!** j , Over there—where the trench and battle line call brave lads to. the utmost, heroic sacrifice—it is the rule of hearts and hands. They STICK FOR VICTORY! ■ v . 1 j Over here—where patriotism make* an easier draft upon us, but where we are nonetheless called to serve The President, The Republic and the Gpd of Christian peoples—'it must be equally the rule. Like them, we, too, must STICK FOR VICTORY. We can ’’stick for victory.” in many different ways—in all the different ways we stay-at-hcpne^ are invited to “do our bit." And—just now —we can "stick for victory" in a-very literal sense. We can "stick for victory" by answering the*call of the "THRIFT STAMP" and the “WAR STAMP"—twin' agents in the mighty work of manning the Treasury which stands be hind the men who man the guns. Start your THRIFT campaigning for Uncle Sam. A twenty-five-cent-piece will turn the trick. It will buy your first “Thrift Stamp.” Stick it in your THRIFT Folder.Then dedicate another “““quarter” to the government which is responsible for all that^you are and all that you can ever hope td be. Buy another "Thrift Stamp" Stick it in your folder. Soon you’ll have sixteen "Thrift Stamps." (You can buy them fpom any mail carrier, any bank, any postoffice and from thousands of patriotic agencies like those which sign this appeal to your common sense.) when you have sixteen "Thrift Stamps," put fourteen cents with them and trade the total for a "war Stamp.” (Youi; total invest­ ment is $4.14; your “War Stamp" is good for $5.00 on January 1, 1923.) Stick the “War Stamp” dn your War Certificate. And then keep ..the good work uj>. Stick, Stick, Stick For Victory! The khaki boys will do the tramping. You do the stamping. . Don’t leave “War Saving*” for “the other fellow” to accumulate. It is just as much a charge upon YOU a* it is upon him. It is a charge upon ALL of us. U. S. Thrift Stamps may be had at 25c each. One or more of there may be purchased and at­ tached to a blank Thrift Card (given without extra cost). *The U. S. Thrift Stamps may be purchased in any number at any time, and at­ tached as purchased to the Thrift Card. When sixteen spaces on the Thrift Card are filled, the Card With 14c in cash will be exchanged dur­ ing the month of March for one of the. War Saving Stamps and you may then begin saving the War Saving-Stamps which earn 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly. U. S. War Saving Stamps and U. S. Thrift Stamps may be had at postoffices, postmen, banks, trust companies or other authorized selling agencies. In a democ­ racy, the government belongs"to ALL of us; and, consequently, the government must de­ pend upon ALL of us for support in time of stress. This is such a time. You’ll be hap­ piest if you are helping. Apd you’ll be helping yourself as well as your country; because these “Stamps” are safe as Liberty Bonds — (indeed they ARE “Liberty Bonds” in democratic denomination)—and they draw 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly. 0. S. WAR D7B ----------- 1 STAMPS U. S. War Saving Stamps may be had in March at $4.14 each. One or more of these may be purchased and attached to a blank War Saving Certificate (given without extra cost), thus forming a government obligation to pay the holder $5.00 on January .1, 1923, for each * stamp attached to the certificate or a total of $100.00 if the twenty spaces on the certificate are filled. The stamps may be attached from time to time at the owner’s convenience, and are redeemable in any number at any time, pro■ vided the holder gives ten days’ notice. The sooner you buy War Saving Stamps, the more you save, because they cost one cent more each month after the 31st of January, 1918, as follows: February......... $4.13 March April . .. 4.15 May .. . . 4.16 .-. 4.17 July.............

It is an easy plan-—and it will fit into your income no matter how little you may feel that you can afford to invest in the finest security on earth. Best of all, it is a patriotic plan—inviting YOU to once more stand behind the brave boy, who are standing, in front of you. Stick For Victory! Stamp! Stamp! Stamp! The Boys Are Marching!

When you KNOW that you have "money in the Bank’’against a "rainy- day” you don’t knowhow good you feel,* and it is surprisingly EASY to accumulate after you have once started. JUST SUPPOSE THAT YOU SAVED ONE QUARTER OF ALL YOU MAKE. Think What Such A System Would Have Done For You, Had You Com­ menced It Five Or Ten Years Ago. Think what such a System will mean for you Five or Ten Years hence. It means the difference between SUCCESS and FAILURE. DOLLARS pile up surprisingly fast when you put them to work for you. That’s a point that most people do not appreciate, and do hot think of. “Interest” is just like FINDING MONEY, be­ cause you put forth no immediate effort to get it, but it is really a reward for your habits of THRIFT. We pay you 3 Per Cent Interest Compounded semi-annually upon your Savings, and every dollar you deposit with us is safe­ guarded by approved up-to-date methods.

ABOUT HASTINGS FOLKS How Carl Young of Muskegon Spoke Enthusiastically of Hastings Folks From the Muskegon Chronicin, of Thursday, we elip the following: " Representative Carl Young, nm» federal food director of Muskegon county, wes welcomed by a great goth ering at Hastings last evening, over 400 men and women turning out to the meeting of the Men’s Brotherhood club of that town before which mc-t rng he spoke following a banquet and musical program. "Mr. Young spoke enthusiastically of tho Hastings eitixens and pronounc­ ed the whole towfi one of :ho most hospitable he was ever in. 'There is a feeling of friendliness there which makes the stranger feel welcome and be stated that he was spoken to by scores of men on the atreef to whom he was positive he was a total strtuig cr, . They have macfe a city issue of the promotion of cordiality there ami this feeling has permeated tho citizen­ ship of tho whole city. It is to this end that Mr. Young hue urged similar action on the port of local organiza­ tions in several addresses.” That Mr. Young’s impressions of Hastings were very favorable is also shown by tho following personal^ letter received Friday by Rev. J. R. Gregory. Muskegon, Michigan, Mar. 21, 1918 Dear Bro. Gregory: I am sending you a clipping from yesterday’s Muskegon Chronicle, which speak* for Uself. While there arc so mo who may not believe this to bo an honest opinion, I ean say that-it is, and that I am de­ lighted with tho reception given me by ronr people. This would indeed be a delightful world to live in. did the same spirit ef ’’brotherhood” prevail, as I sec it in Hastings. I am indeed grateful to you for’ this most splendid opportunity to miet the good people of your city, as it has gives mo a broader view of humanity, which will serve mo in good stead the rest of my life. May God abundantly bless you in Cur work, and may prosperity and ppiness be showered on your *4|ty and people, is my -fervent prayer. ) ’ Yours in the cause, . • ■ - Carl Young.

OUR PRICE ON A THREE-PLOW MACHINE IS ONLY $985—OR $328 WORTH OF TRACTOR FOR EACH 14-1NCH PLOW BOTTOM While our nearest competitor charges $750 for one that will pull but two I 2-inch plows; this is $375 worth of ma­ chine per plow. , When you compare the weight of the two tractors, the Waterloo Boy sells for 19c per pound, while this much ad­ vertised machine costs 30c per pound. The Waterloo Boy Tractor has been in the field plowing for more than four years.and is entirely out of the experi­ mental class. Why buy a machine which has never proved its worth in actual work?

A Buick Car is an asset to every business, to every home, to every indi­ vidual wins'has need of dependable transportation.

In the practice of THRIFT and the acquiring of the SAVING HABIT, the RIGHT MOVE, and the FIRST one, is to start a Bank Account. This may not Jje easy at first, for with your money IN THE BANK, instead of in your pocket, the many little expenditures will have to cease—if you make your Bank Account PROFITABLE. But after you have gotten into the HABIT of coming regularly to the Bank, your SAVINGS, to gether with the THREE PER CENT INTEREST (compounded TWICE each year), will show REI j SULTS that cannot fail to SATISFY YOU. The “SAVING HABIT” is ia the time-tried and pre proven foundation ] I of BUSINESS SUCCESS.^It’sthe ASSURANCE ofF an old age free from the suffering which POVER TY brings. It creates an optimistic spirit that looks FORWARD to a bright future. It only takes $1.00 to start you off with the constantly growing army of “SAVERS.

By employing no Selling Agents on tbe road, I saw that I could build up a'good "one-man” busi­ ness, and sell my goods at a lower price, because I would cut out all that extra selling expense. And I SUCCEEDED. I have built up an established business, and hundreds of farmers all over Barry County edme to me for their farm ma­ chinery—and I SAVE THEM MONEY. What I Am Going to Oo If I sell out, my successor «f course will make his own terms. If I 4o not sell out, commencing, on - THURSDAY ; MAY Iflth, 1918, my terms will be as as follows: On all sums of $5200 fend under cash. On all sums over that amount, THREE, SIX or NINE MONTHS TIME will be given on good bankable notes witn interest at ® per certt. On ALL CASH SALES above *' $5.00 a discount of 2 PER CENT will be given. If there is a man in.

In this new five-passenger FOUR, Studebaker offers a car which has been designed to fill a demand for • light-weight, economical, high-quality car which «an be bought at a rea­ sonable price, which is large and roomy enough to give com­ fort and convenience to five passengers, which is thoroughly high-grade in finish, equipment and appearance, and ade­ quately beautiful in lines to satisfy even the very'discriminating buyer.

Note the blending of curves, the distinct­ ively modeled front Seat and the plain harmonious crown fenders. Conservative elegance, quality and good taste are the characteristics of this model. The five-passenger LIGHT SIX design and construction is sim­ ilar to the BIG SIX, but the motor is a little smaller; the whole car is lighter. Its exterior appearance suggests the car it is; a beautifully-deiignod, light-weight car; a car with agility, speed, quick pickup, ideal power; a car that any mem­ ber of the family can drive all d{iy long without fatigue. The comfortable position of the scats; the deep, soft cushions; the ample leg-room; the simple noiseless gearshift; the great leverage developed Jjy a touch of tho brake and clutch-pedals; tho certainty of the starting mechanism; the responsive flexi­ bility of the motor and the remarkable ease with which the car steers and stays in the road—all these appeal instantly to the Idver of a fine motor can—you will find them all in the Stucfebaker LIGHT SIX.

Cains of 25 to 85 per cent are not unusual from soil topdressed with fresh stable manure spread with a Low Cloverleaf Manure Spreader The Low Cloverleaf is a wide spreading, easy running, light draft, narrow box spreader, made in three handy sizes—small, medium and larfte. The wide spreading /device catches the manure as it comes frim the beater, breaks it up into still finer particles, and throws it out beyond the wheel,tracks in a wide, even spread. This is the kind of fertilizing recommended by all authorities The entire load is spread in 3 to 5 mihutes. The ma­ chine runs easily and lasts a long time because the, work­ ing parts are all securely fastened to a sturdy steel frame which keeps them in place and in line. ■ The Lbw Cloverleaf spreader is backed by Internation­ al -Harvester reputation for quality machines.

Mrt. E. Perrnaft' haw been-entertain- X X ' Here ia a popular pivot axle cultivator. Its tele­ scoped axle permits several widths of tread. It has several different shovel adjustments, making it adapt­ able to special crops besides corn, such aa beans and garden truck. It is built for good service in rough or uneven ground and is especially valuable for hillside work. You pivot the wheels and shift the ganga at the same time, with the foot pedals. ThAt’a a big point. The parallel gang movement means thorough cultivation, full-width in all positions, quick action in dodging ir­ regular hills. The steel wheels are extra strong for hard hillside service. Heavy springs carry the weight of the gangs nnd also keep the shovels in hard, baked ground at even depth.. A handy center lever balances the cultivator and takes the weight off ’ the horses’ necks. ■ You will find the International No. 4 a good, handy, lasting-cultivator for all round use. Come and look it over. You need this or some other style of Interna­ tional. There never was a time in the history of this'coun­ try when things looked us good for the farmer. Prices on every product that he can produce are HIGH—and they must continue to remain high for several years to come. The business thing to do is to make EVERY ACRE CULTIVATED DO ITS FULL DUTY. This can be done in two principal ways. 1st.—USE FERTILIZER ON YOUR HELDS. It will be well not to take any chances with delays, but OR­ DER NOW, then you wil) KNOW that you will have it on hand when you want to use it Fertilizer for your Potatoes, Beata, and Corn will MAKE YOU MONEY, and it is recommended and used by the best and most prominent fanners in the country. 2nd.—The “only cloud in the sky” as far as the fanner is concerned, is the question of “help,” but or­ ganizations .are now being effected to settle this. Every farmer can do a lotfto settle the “help” question for himself too by using the BEST farm machinery. It guarantees that his crops will be put in in the best way; will SAVE TIME and will insure BETTER CROPS. If you need any farm machinery of any kind, call or write us about the great International Harvester Co.'s line. :: We Sell International Farm Machinery week with her grandmother, Mrs. Clara Johnston, of Alpine, Fred Elsey, of Hastings. st week on business.

They admitted that our Wall Papers were BETTER VALUES for'tha money, and were glad to give us the business. More than that, they appreciated the fact that WE ARE LOCATED RIGHT HERE where they can "get at us." If anything isnt RIGHT they KNOW that we will "make it right,” on anything that we are responsi­ ble for. They KNOW that we do everything within our power to PLEASE OUR CUSTOMERS; that our big stock of goods and the low prices we quote save our cus tamers not only a good sum of money, but a lot of TIME and ANNOYANCE as well. All that we want, or expec t, is a reasonable profit—and we are entitled to that. There are very few stores in the country in towns of this size—and not many in cities several times as Large —that carry a larger stock of Wall Papers than we do, and iu-Wall Pa net reasons we are prepared to meet any demands, no matter how small, or how large. That’s why we have become known as "The Wall Paper House of Barry County." You are sure to be pleased here—sure to find just what you want, and at the RIGHT PRICES. Wc went into the Wall Paper Business on such a/large scale because we appreciate that there's nothing that CAN do.more to MAKE or MAR the beauty of a room than Wall Paper—and you’ve got "to live with it” for a long time after it is put on.

C1TIZENH STATE SAVINGS BANK OF PLAINWELL, MICH., COT.OROVF. k POTTER, Better the Crop With a C B 6 Q Planter x You know that the success of the corn crop must depend largely on the way the seed is- put in the ground. The planter you use must drop the kernels accurately to the furrow bottom at uniform depth in the- best manner for quick germination and rapid growth. The C B & Q planter has made ita reputation as n good planter. Men depend on it in all conditions of field or corn. They adjust it to suit the condition, as it is made to be adjusted, and they get the maximum results—drilling, checking or hill drilling. You will be interested in the runifer frame of the C B & Q, ami the sturdy way in which it carries and governs the mechanism of the planter. Then ypu will sec why tfie timing of the plates and valves remain ac­ curate and the operation so reliable for many seasons. A visit to us would clear the details in your mind. We can only pbint out a few of them here. Drop up nnd see the C B &* Q. A poor crop thin year will be more expensive/ than ever before, becau.se the farmer cannot produce any­ thing this season in tho line of farm products, that will not command.a HIGH PRICE. It stands every farmer well in hand to put in his crop in the Vest possible manner. The man who doesn’t do it not only wastes his crop and his labor, but does not realize on his investment what he should. . Use Fertilizer We sell the well-known Homestead Fertilizera that have proven so popular with farmers fpr more than 40 years. They are how, and always have been of superior quality, because all efforts of the manufacturers have been concentrated upon the crop-making virtue of the plant food in the fertilizer. For this reason, the RE­ SULTS obtained by farmers from the use of Homestead Fertilizers have brought larger sales every season, and they have had the first call in every locality where' fertilizers are used. Owing to the great demand there will be for farm products this year, every effort should be made to guarantee the largest returns per acre. The liberal use of Homestead Fertilizers this year will prove most profitable.

Do you know that SAVING ia not STINGINESS, but a DUTY? Do you know that if you do not save BEFORE you are married the chances are 100 to I that you WON'T SAVE after marriage? Do you know that the INTEREST on the money you could SAVE in your youth would make comfortable the days of your OLD AGE? Do khow that you owe it to your own self-respect, and to those who > J may be dependent upon you in the years to come, to SAVE? You KNOW that EVERY WORD of the above is TRUE. As long as you KNOW it is TRUE, why not commence saving TO-DAY? ' All it takes to open a SAVINGS ACCOUNT with this bank is ONE DOL-LAR. Take as many dollar's as you can possibly take from your earning EVERY WEEK, or EVERY MONTH .and deposit them in this bank.

Alto and Freeport, but only a -portion of it ia of trunk-line-width. The Cale doula folks want to divert the future extensive traffic through their village. The board of supervisors of Barry cooperated with the federal govern ment by voting the necessary appro­ priation for the improvement of the scetien of trunk-line south of Hast­ ings. They-felt that every dollar ex pended would help Uncle Ram, and .they realized they were doing a jwitriolie thing at the special session last week.

The Caledonia News says: Following a sohsion wi:h State Highway Comimssioner Roger* at lensing, Supervisor Mulder called a meeting of business men Wednesday evening. The proposition for consid­ eration was that of a roadway to con­ nect the state trunk line between the points of Caledonia and Middleville. As proposed, this stretch of roqd would be of eoneretc construction and I would cover a distance of less than ten miles commencing at the eonereU’ road at Maloney’s corners.

Of all the means at the farmers’ command for increasing the erpp, a good manure spread­ ! er easily comes first. It requires no addition of power ! or help, in-fnet it saves time and labor. It increases the ; yield from every acre in which it is properly used. This is the year, and this is the month to buy and begin to use a Low Cloverleaf Manure Spreader : The Low Cloverleaf is a wide spreading, pasy running, light draft, narrow box spreader, made in three handy ;£izes—small, medium and large. The wide spreading device catches the manure as it comes from the beater, breaks it up into still finer particles, and throws it out ; beyond the wheel tracks in a wide, even spread. This is ; the kind of fertilizing recommended by all authorities. The entire load is spread in 3 to 5 minutes. The ma­ chine runs easily and lasts a long time because the work­ ing parts are all securely fastened to a sturdy steel frame which keeps them all'in place and in line. The Low Cloverleaf spreader is backed by Ihternation- al Harvester reputation for quality machines. It does the work as it should be done. This year of all years, yq it should have a good manure spreader and you will profit most by using a Low Cloverleaf. Immediate delivk ery. Place your order now. w > F EDMONDS BROS. ; HASTINGS, mi i.

Barry County has ALL KINDS of roads —SANDY roads; Steep HILLY roads as well as the good State Reward Roads. 2nd—The Car that will give you the BEST SERVICE is the car that combines STRENGTH and REASONABLE WEIGHT with PLENTY OF POWER. Here is where tbe latest Oakland puts it over ANY OTHER CAR THAT IS BUILT. It has GREATER proportionate POWER for its WEIGHT that any other car-on the market, with the exception of one car that costs THREE TIMES AS MUCH. The Oakland Car itself weighs but 2130 POUNDS. Ita high speed, overhead valve engine develops at 2600 r. p.m. 44 HORSE POWER. That MEANS that'the Oakland engine develops ONE horsepower to EVERY 46 POUNDS OF CAR WEIGHT. That's WHY it plows through the deepest, sandiest roads; that’s why it makes tho steepest hills; that’s why it ALWAYS gets you to your destination. Its' lighter weight gives you GREATER TIRE MILEAGE, and GREATER MILEAGE p^r gallon of gasoline, Oakland owners in many cases last year obtaining as high as 25 MILES per gallon.. To overcome the low grade of gasoline now prevailing, special provision has been made in the Oakland Six engine this year, which should enable M gtjod a mileage record this season, or betteri Sturdy At The Oak What You Get When You Buy An Oakland You ,.l • ur <h.t h>. now b~n TESTED by OVER 100,000 CAREFUL BUY• ' ERS, and to every one of them it has delivered an unequaled degree of SATlSFAC-r.. TION. Essentially its the same car as its predecessors, but with such ADDED IM­ PROVEMENTS as have been developed b* its engineers, resulting in GREATER POWER, IMPROVED APPEARANCE and LOWER OPERATING COST. FLEXIBILITY-Lbecause of its LIGHTER WEIGHT and load when occupied the Oakland possessed)extraordinary POWER and FLEXIBILITY; it reacts to acceler­ ator or brake like a flash, and has therefore become very popular with the fanner the business man and the professional man. . RIDING QUALITIES—its riding qualities are unusually smooth and easy, due to the. long semi-elliptic rear springs; the extra large tires; the careful "balance” of the car; and the use of the "HotchkissDrive” which absorbs the driving torque through the redr springs. When occupied , the rear springs ride almost flat, eliminat BEAUTY—the appearance of the Oakland this year is even more pleasing than ever before. With it is combined the slop ing windshield of new design, with a 1 % inch rain-tight overlap; a. higher body wall; foot rest for easy operation of the ac­ celerator; a tire carrier for spare at the rear with provision for TWO. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM—the generator and starting motor on the Oakland Sensi­ ble Six models Were selected only after exhaustive TESTS to determine the equip­ ment offering the most in efficiency, durability and economy in the hands of the AV­ ERAGE OWNER. The system is UNFAILING, SIMPLE yet DURABLE and efficient PROVED SATISFACTION—we haven’t space to mention a great many other su­ perior points about the Sensible Six.

ALW AYS ask them to PUT THIS CLAIM IN WRITING. Sonw Trac­ tors may operate successfully on kerosene for a short time while running with light loads, but put them to HARD WORK and then see what they will do. Before you buy, ask the salesman to put this claim down in “black and . white.” It may save you trouble later. When you buy a Mogul you don’t "have to take anybody’s word. Yrtu are protected by a .Warranty and Agreement that protects you. In these days of scarcity of farm help, every progres­ sive farmer needs a Mogul Tractor. One of them will en­ able you to get your work done on time. You can run a Mogul all day, and all night, if necessary, and for all kinds of farm work. It takes all the hard work off of the horses and does the work QUICKER and at about half the ex­ pense of a gasoline Tractor. It is not Bothered by flics and insects; is not affected by seasons, and requires no care when idle. We have the 3-gang plows that go with the Mogul.

And it is just as necessary ON THE FARM us it is in any mercantile business. Farmers are interested in Motor Trucks, and in a few years will be the LARGEST USERS of them. — It stands to reason that if a truck v/fll haul from, 50 to 100 per cent, mote stock or produce to market at a loud, and do it in ojie-half, or one-third, the time it. would take a good hejivy team to do the work,'that the SAVING would be no small amount. Well, that’s just what the Interna­ tional Motor Truck will do for you. Buying a Truck is just like buying anything else.. You want the BEST Truck you can buy for the money—the one that will last the LONGEST with the LOWEST UP­ KEEP—and the one best suited to your business. One Motor Truck may sell at a low price, but nt the end of the year may show a MUClt.’GREATER COST for hauling, PER "TON MILE” than the Truck that sells for twice ns much. So with Trucks, as with anything else, IT ISN’T THE PRICE YOU PAY as much as it is the YEARS OF SERVICE, and the COST OF OPERATION y«5u get. that determines whether it’s a good investment. A Truck costing '$2,Q0O 'for instance may be twice as pood an in­ vestment as another Truck that cost $1,000. The International Motor Truck is backed by a SEV­ ENTY MILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION with 90 COM­ PANY BRANCHES in the U. S. ready to serve International Truck owners. THERE ARE MORE INTERNATIONALS IN USE THAN ANY OTHER MAKE.

JOB PRINTING, BANNER OFFICE. The Great Buick 1918 Line You ask ANYONE who ever owned or drove a Buick Car, what HE, or SHE, thinks of it. You'll get only ONE answer, and that will be that they are MORE than satisfied with its performance, stability and durability. A great many Buicks have been sold in Barry County. In fact we’ve, been unable to supply the demand. But if the older Models gave such COM­ PLETE satisfaction, just think how much MORE so, one of the brand new 1918 Models would be, because the great Buick plant with its immense equipment keeps right up-to-the-minnte in everything that's BEST, and al­ lows no amount of expense to stand in the way of BETTERMENT. The 1918 line is COMPLETE from every standpoint of finish and refinement. EIGHT MODELS provide a car for every demand. The Buick Sixes The Buick Fours The Buick Six ia the equal in performance of any car that sella for a lot more money, and it i* juat as durable. So why pay more than th© Buiqlc Six will cost you, no matter what model you buy? Juat ask any OWNER of n Buick Six “how he like* hi* car, nnd whether he’s sorry he bought one.” Can you think of a safer guide to go by? .We always go upon the theory that “PLEASED CUSTOMERS” are eaaential to the stability of any business—and the Buick surely has thorn. We can’t tell you of all the superior qualities <lf the Buick Six, nor of its finish or refine­ ment. But cal) in and let us show you. It will be our pleasure. The Buick Fours were designed for those who wanted a medium-priced, sturdy and reliable four-cyl­ inder car. Ybu can get them in Roadsters or 5-Passenger Can. For the man who wants to make a mod­ erate investment, it is a particularly desirable car, because of its low up-keep expense, ita economical gas­ oline consumption, it* lighter weight gives larger mile­ age for tire*. These Buick Four* aye all-around effi­ cient car* and have the “pep” and the power to “go anywhere.” The atreamline body and the slanting windshield give them a natty appearance. In fact there is nothing lacking in these can to commend them to any man wanting a good, serviceable car that he can depend upon.

This car is completely equipped, and also has the ^enith Improved Double-Jet Carburetor, giving the maximum mileage on the minimum of gasoline. - U \ The Ideal Car for Business Use Like all Chevrolet models, this car is correct in weight. A motor car should not be too heavy nor,too light. If it is too heavy, the weight is liable to affect its efficiency and expense. If it is too light, it is likely to be dangerous and not keep to the road. Chevrolet weight makes sure long life to tires and the economical consumption of gasoline.* These two important items of expense depend, in a great measure, on the weight' of the car. ’ y ' .

Don't trust yourself with the income of a business, until you have shown tho CAPACITY to handle the INCOME of a JOB, and to SAVE MONEY out of ANY INCOME. THE ONLY WAY TO DEVELOP thi. cp.cHy ia to aUrt a SAVINGS ACCOUNT, and to kaap it ALIVE and GROWING. Possibly you can borrow the capital to start. But DON’T borrow your first capital—SAVE IT. For in the act of SAVING you will GAIN MORE than the capital itself. — , You will gain tho CONFIDENCE of a Banker, Which every business man should have when he starts. You will gain the CONFIDENCE of YOURSELF —fgith in your own ability to CONSERVE, which is the first principle of successful nunagement. You might too be able to borrow money to start in business, and start off with a good volume of sales. At the end of the first month you would find yourself in the possession of several times as much REAL CASH tu you ever hail AT ONE TIME. It is THEN that you would find yourself set upon by a WHOLE FLOOD OF IMPULSES TO SPEND MONE\. If you would still live *• you did BEFORE Delton items.

Some of it should go as interest on tho loan. A lot more of it should go into a sinking fund to retire the loan, and a much larger proportion should bo SET ASIDE, to replace the sales of goods YOU SOLD..' which have not been replaced. So after you get your money PROPERLY DI3- than you had when you were working on a SALARY —but your EXPENSES will JUMP UPWARDS by leaps and bounds. There's where so many make failures in business. Here is where your EXPERIENCE in managing SAVINGS ACCOUNT will TEACH YOU how to di count end distribute the INCOME of your BUSI* NESS because you have TRAINED YOURSELF to regulate OUTGO with INCOME, with SOMETHING LEFT OVER. Why not start a SAVINGS ACCOUNT with a good part of your next PAY CHECK? It is the best FIRST STEP towards a BUSINESS or a FARM of your own. We PAY YOU 3 PER CENT INTEREST on your SAVINGS DEPOSITS and COMPOUND the interest TWICE EACH YEAR.

Then If^you are looking for a strictly high grade car at a medium price, don’t overlook the “OLDSMOBILE.” It is giving better satisfac­ tion this year than ever before, and every Olds­ mobile owner or driver places it among the top-notchers.” The 8;cylinder motor delivers one horse«power to every 51 pounds of car weight — a rate ao high aa to aasure more than ample, reaerve power for every emergency of the road, and making it an especially desirable, car for Burry county people. The comfort offered by the Oldsmobile is a reve­ lation, the undcralung long rear springs combine with the -double-tiered springs of the upholstery, give riding unexpected smoothness and ease. The body is large and roomy and gives every comfort to the rider. Back of every Oldsmo­ bile are 20 years of “experfence.” the ’“results” of which are “built into” ev• cry car which makes for endurance, comfort and ■- long life. You'll be pleased with an Oldsmobile. See me about it, or write me. E. A. BURTON LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR.

Our new process of making a Double Tread tire is not an experi• ment but it has been proven successfully. Therefore'we can give you a guarantee you can depend upon. A Two-in-One Double Tread tire has 12 plya of fabric , between the inner tube and the road, which insures them / against punctures or blow-outs. They are put together with u good vulcanizing cement; then we sew them to­ gether, making one good Double Tread tire which will give you 3,000 to 5,000 miles of hard wear, for practically 30 -per cent of the cost .of a new tire. .

With every McGraw Coring you get the standard-guarantee assurance of at least 8500 mile* of service. - Bat with a little care, you will get thousands of miles of service in excess of this figure. Careful drivers usually double the standard-guarantee mileage from McCraw Casings—instances of 10,000 to 15,000 miles are fre­ quent. . This.service, much above stand-, ard, is insured by the McGraw selection of raw material, and the McGraw method of building the carcass. Built up slowly on a ' polished steel core, the several plies of carefully inspected fabric are laid, and rolled down com­ pactly against eaeh otheF, ia such a way that the warp and woof . of ad,two flies of the whole can* caw ever ntn in exactly the same direction. Sueh construction pro­ vides flexible strength and endur­ ance that guarantees excess serv­ ice on the road. — And the superior service of McGraw Casings does not end with mere mileage. They are more dependable, too. Their quick respdnsiveneBa absorbs ' road shocks that would result in stone bruises and blow-outs in a leas yielding tire. The extra thick, specially toughened tread armdrs the casing against punc­ tures and other road injuries. When you buy a McGraw Cas­ ing, you can expect greater worth in service for every dollar than you c»n get in any other tire^at «wy price—aad yoa will get it! Goodyear Bros. Hardware Co.

While Someone Gives His LifeWhat Are You Giving? The American Red Cross is the largest and most efficient organization for the relief of suffering that the world has ever seen. It is n\ade up almost entirely of volunteer workers, the higher executives being# without exception, men accustomed to large affairs, who are giving services without pay. *’ It is supported entirely by its membership fees and by voluntary contribu­ tions. . * . t ...... It is today bringing relief to suffering humanity, both military and civil, in evety War-torn allied country. It plans tomorrow to help in the work of restoration throughout the world. It feeds and clothes entire populations in times of great calamity. It is there to help your soldier boy in his time of need. In its thousands of workers, its tremendous stores and smooth-running transportation facilities, it is a perfect example of America’s genius for organiza­ tion, of America s generosity, and of America’s will to Win the War. Congress authorizes it. __-__ President Wilson heads it. The War Department audits its accounts., Your Army, your Navy and your Allies enthusiastically endorse it. Twenty-two million Americans have joined it.

I finally gave it up and WU going to go when lhe Frenchman asked me in English what I wanted. To successfully grow Alfalfa the best quality of seed is necessary and can only be had by buying the supply you need from a firm whose reputation for handling the best grades in every line is well established. It has been our policy since our first starting in business to pay the price necessary to secure the Highest Grade Seeds. Our knowledge of good seed and the firms from whom we buy are safeguards to quality. And we have Alfalfa Seed that tests almost 100 per cent pure. Every poufid of seed we sell has stood the test and that is not all—it is backed by our own personal guarantee.

' That '‘something”—of which we are all aware but which -few of us try to explain—is design. Design, therefore, adds market value to your house, with­ out increasing the coat. » . And as soon as a house comes to possess design and to be loved for it—as soon as it begins to express the indi­ viduality and the good taste and character of its owner ■ —it becomes a home. That is why architects like to plan wood, houses. They _ .san eitpieM dcsign in. wood more readily than in other materials. And that is why a competent architect can . repay you. in the market value of your home, all that you pay him for. his guidance and assistance. Our booklet, “White Pina in Home-Building," illus­ trates how attractively you can build of wood. Every home in it was designed by architects of national reputation.

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 farm, 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 money 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 spends 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 life, than opening an account at this Bank, and adding to it every week or. month. Why not open an account now? Hastings City Bank than himself.

Thia County News Two Stores Burned “It’s no use to lock thebam after the horse is stolen’’ is a mighty true adage when you are referring to Insurance. After the damage is done there is Httle use for regret. The proper course to take is to carry plenty of insurance. We would like to submit a few facts to y ou to show why we think you should let us write your insurance:— * . . ‘ ONE—We write every land of insurance that ia.written. TWO -We represent more of the old, reliable companies than any other agency in Barry County. THREE—We have paid more losses than any other agency in Barry County. FOUR—bi every instance where we have had losses to pay the insured have been perfectly satisfied. \ FIVE—This agency has paid over $50,000 in leases in Hastings during the part 5 yeara. ■ - . ‘ SIX—We are the largest General Insurance Agency in Barry County. , Now these are good logical reasons why you should come to this agency for your insur­ ance. Reliability—Promptness—Stability—Satisfactory Adjustment—all enter in to make this agency the one you should patronize. If you want to increase youj- policy or take out a new one in any line from Fire, Life, Cyclone, along down the list to Steamboat Insurance you will find that the companies we represent are as good and strong as any on earth. , JOHN M.

Putting a 40 h. p. engine in a heavy automobile is like telling a big strapping man to move a heavy piano alone. Oakland engineers have not only developed a high-powered engine —one that delivers 44 h. p.-at 2600 r. p. m.—but they have placed it in a car noted for its scientific light-weight construction. To every 48 pounds of this roomy, full-family Oakland Sensible Six, the High-speed overhea^ valve engine delivers one full working horse-power. We’ll be glad to demonstrate this real high power to you and your family at any time you say.

Our Government again appeals to you in time of great need. The success of the greatest war the world has ever dreamed of lies in the hands of the people of the U nited States—in your hands and mine. “UNCLE SAM” says: “COME ON BOYS, I WANT MONEY.” $377,000 in War Savings Stamps Must Be Bought by Barry County Folks Before December 1st. Don’t think this war belongs to the other fellow, IT IS YOUR WAR— BUY AND BUY AND BUY. Money to raise, equip, feed and munition a great ar My! Money to build ships to carry them overseas and keep them amply supplied! Money to put a great fleet of aeroplanes at the front and supply the “eyes” that will prevent our boys from surprise moves by the enemy! Money for the thousand and one-other things necessary for the vigorous prosecution of the war! Billions and billions are required! But only a small percentage of this mbney is being raised by taxation. „ We are not asked to give all we can spare to our country without hope of return. We stay-at-homes are merely asked to loan our money to our country at a generous rate of interest—the safest investment in the world! We are lagging at the task and have bought but a small part of our quota of War Savings Stamps, whereas the 3,500,000 people of Michigan Must Buy $70,000,000 Worth of \ War Savings Stamps Before December 1, 1918! Seventy million dollars’ worth of War Savings Stamps, divided equally among three million five hundred thou­ sand people means that ) Every Man, Woman and Child in This State Should Possess "$20 Worth of War Sav­ ings Stamps Before December 1, 1918. They Should Have $10 Worth on or Before June 30th, 1918. And because thousands can’t or won’t buy their full shares it is up to every one who can to buy as many more than his share as possible! . ' - . . How many aeroplanes will Barry County holdings of Thrift Stamps put at the front? How many other pressing requirements of our Army and Navy will our purchases of War Saving Stamps help or hinder? , Thrift Stamps cost 25c each. After you have bought and pasted 16 of them in a Thrift Card, the 16 costing you a total of $4.00, by adding 17c in cash during the month of June you can exchange them for one $5.00 War Savings Stamp payable to you in full in 1923. Or, if you prefer, you can buy $5.00 War Savings Stamps during June at $4.17, during July at $4.18, and so on, the price increasing each month. Your $5.00 War Savings Stamps f are pasted in a/War Savings Stamp card with room for 20 stamps, or a total of $100. No one person is permitted to buy more than $1,000 worth of War Savings Stamps, which makes it all the more necessary th.t the greatest possible number of people byy them if Michigan is to reach the seventy million mark and keep her war record-one to be proud of! Buy all the War Savings Stamps you can! Then,buy some more! L. R. WOLCOTT BABBITT, REIGLER & CO. BERT LONG FREEPORT ELEVATOR COMPANY. C. A. CURTISS . STATE BANK OF FREEPORT E. C.

James Matthews’ Farm 2x/z Miles North on Broadway, Next To Leach Lake Every farmer in Barry Co. is especially urged to be present at this demonstration. This will be one of the moit convincing arguments in favor of farmers having tractorn to do their farm work, and especially will it convince, you that the FORDSON TRACTOR IS .THE TRACTOR OF THE HOUR. A special man will be pIresent to explain in detail the valuable feature* of the FORDSON and the use of the implements which it can handle. No farmer who wants to learn the value of tractor* can AFFORD to mi** thi* demonstration. We will be greatly disappointed if you do not make a special effort to be present.

Ask Yourself These Questions and Then Do a Little Thinking The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough considera­ tion to our financial affairs. We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking that things "will come out all right anyway.” Each year finds us no better off than we were the year before; the years fly by, gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it is that we face the specter of old age, without income and without means. This little state­ ment sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be HELPFUL—to render genuine SERVICE. That’s a PART of our BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if-you have ever ASKED YOURSELF these questions: Jewelry Repairing Promptly mountains a future pregnant with God’* beat. In the namrt of Christ, my Captain, scale them.

Now the latest “Cry” is a “tax of 25c per gallon.” » Many have felt afraid to buy . Such a tax would be prohibitive, and is not at all likely. This is ridiculous. Read the following Editorial from the June 19 Issue of Motor World: * . . 1 ■ ' “Gasoline Shortage Myths” We constantly hear stories to the effect that there is a shortage of gaso­ line. There is nothing to them. We hear more stories to the effect that gasoline will be taxed—one story had it that a prohibitive tax would be placed on it commencing July 31. The^S^TKirtiilhg to them. - ‘ « Supposl for a moment, that we examine into statistics. Let us find out the The United States Fuel Administration has stated that it will see that the oil industry is adequately supplied with all the steel it needs to push produc­ tion and open up new wells. Oil is on the preferred list. Further: The Government is to-day short of fuel oil. This is crude oil after the lighter distillates have been taken out, such as gasoline, kerosene, etc. ,u— Crude oil is too volatile to be burned under boilers in ships and for other in­ dustrial purposes. J truth of the matter, and once and for all kill this gasoline shortage myth. To-day, the refiners of the country are producing gasoline at the rate of well over eight and one-half million gallons per day. This is more than two million gallons a day in excess of the I 916 production. To-day, the refiners of the country have 526,382,385 gal. of gasoline stored away for future use. On December 31, 1917, the total amount of gasoline in storage amounted to 412,526,833 gal. Between the end of last year and the present these stocks of gasoline have increased I 14,125,55 3 gal. In short, we are producing far more than we are using up. Crude oil is the base from which gasoline is produced. During the month of March, which is the latest month for which United States Government figures are available, there were taken from the earth 26,239,662 barrels. Allowing 50 gal: to the barrel, this is 1,31 1, 983,100 gal. To get this down to figures that we can grasp, let us say that during March the refiners took an average of 42,332,050 gal. a day out of the ground. This ‘ is 2,000,000 gal. per day more than was produced in March, 1917. The production of crude oil will go on increasing. Production of oil has been classed by the War Industries Board as highly essential to the Govern­ ment’s program for the prosecution o f the war. In short, in order to produce the required quantity of fuel oil, the refiners must produce gasoline. They must go on producing it in ever-increasing quantities. As for the tax: Leading oil men say that such-legislation never will be erracted, and even if such a tax were levi ed it would be a very small one which would be designed purely to produce revenue and not to stop the use of gaso­ line. Any prohibitive tax which was placed on gasoline would defeat its own object. It would curtail the use of gasoline and great stocks would pile up just as great stocks of kerosene piled up a few years ago. For don’t' forget that the United States Navy and the navies of our Allies must have fuel oil. •/ And you can’t make fuel oil without making gasoline. i ------- ---—__--------------------- _ - ’ f ■ But this is no time to waste gasoline. This is the time when everything must be conserved.• Dealers must educate owners to the necessity of elimi- v nating waste—to the need of using ev ery drop. Kill all idle-engines. There is no shortage now, but don’t let us waste -the fuel we have. \ —Editorial, Motor World, June 19, 1918.

There’s a reason for it. It is wise and IT PAYS. You can pay your bills by check, which weTetum to you at the end of the month as they are paid at the bank. Each check is a re­ ceipt for every dollar you pay out. Your check book shows just WHERE your money went, WHEN it went, and WHAT it went for. Sometimes your memory fails you. You forget whether you paid a cer­ tain bill at the store or not. If you keep a checking account and pay your bills by check, you could turn to your cancelled checks( which we return to you each month) and they will quickly tell you whether you paid or not, together with the date y6u paid, and the amount, and on the back of the check will be the endorsement of the man, or firm, you paid, which is just as good as a receipt. In short, paying your bills by cheek enables you to keep track of all ydur expenditures. Many individuals and many firms, "fall down” because they do not keep track of where their money goes, nor how it goes. This Bank offers you every facility, and you will find it decidedly to YOUR ADVANTAGE to open a Checking Account with us.

Shipments of lumber for aeroplane manufacture and all aeroplane mate­ rials, to Grand Rapids, as well as shipment of aeroplane parts out of that city, are given the “right of way" over everything else, all of which will tend to greater "congestion," and delays and losses. / ' To help relieve this situation, and as a business proposition, 1 have de­ cided to .start an Auto Truck Line between Hastings and Grand Rapids, and intermediate points on the Good Road®. I expect to start this service next W6ek. I will carry Freight and Express. My service will be prompt and efficient, and will be quicker and better. My charges will be as reasonable as 1 can make them. 1 will also do local cartage and make a specialty of long distance moving of household goods, etc. I will be glad to talk with you if you are interested’ih this^ervlde.

We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking that things "will come out all right anyway." Each year finds us no better off than we were the year before; the years fly by, gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it is that we face the specter of old age, without income and without means. This little state­ ment sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be HELPFUL—to render genuine SERVICE. That’s a PART of our BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOURSELF these questions: DO I KNOW MY FINANCIAL CONDITION?” “AM I GETTING AHEAD; JUST KEEPING EVEN OR AM I RUNNING IN DEBT?” I I “After the procewon had gone, the crowd gathered round the building and cheered Mr. Lloyd George again and again.

Ask your lawyer or banker if this ' is not true. That is the reason that over 35,000 policies have been written in Michigan in the Citizen* Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. of Howell. These policies are written in the small cities and country districts of the state. The Company has settled over 900 claims and paid $124,­ ; 983 to those who suffered losses.- The Company has a new office building, fire-proof vaults and up-to-date equipment to serve its members. ' UniM StatesDres are Good Tiros The Company is known to the automobile detectives and police officers in Michigan and all adjoining states. The reward and claims are promptly paid. This record shows that automobile insurance must be car­ > ried on on a big scale to be successful. Why taka chances when you can insure in this safe and eatablbhad company for a cost of $1 for the policy ahd 25c a horse power? . • W.

I wish to say to every farmer and fr uit grower in Barry County that YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO NOT CARRY A HAIL INSURANCE POLICY ON YOUR CROPS. Thousands of dollars are lost to M ichigan farmers every year because of the violent stonns accompanied' by a heavy fall of hail. Barry County does not escape. Many a farmer in this county has lost several hundred dollars in-less than a half hour because of a severe hail storm. Hail insurance is be­ coming more popular with farmers every year, and Barry County farmers ought to realize the val^e of the protection which a hail policy affords.

It is the only mutual hail insurance company doing business in Michigan. The cost for taking out a policy which will give plenty of protection to all your crops is very small, and yet large enough so that the company has plenty on hand to pay your loss immediately if a storm happens along and destroys every crop you have or only a small part of the crop.

This summer The Dow Chemical Company will start a course of training for young men between seventeen and twenty-one interested in learning either a trade or getting the funda­ mentals of a chemical engineering education. The education requirements are that the boys should have finished the eighth grade. A high school education is still more desirable. The young men spend three hours a day in the Company’s school under competent instruction and the rest of the day in tne plant. Com­ pensation will be allowed for the time spent in school as well as wjiile at work in the plant, so tliat it is possible for any boy, whether he has a family to help him or not, to avail himself of this opportunity. . - FOB FUBTOBB INFORMATION WRITE TO W.

Edmonds Brothers The Most Extensive and Efficient Equipment of Any Elevator in This Part of Michigan DAY Our Seed Department We Ship Live Stock During all the 10 years we have been in business in Hastings we have studied the seed questions of the farmers of Barry county. We have also kept in close toqch with the big seed raisers and seed houses and know where to buy the best grades of seeds, what firms and seed raisers supply seeds best adapted to the soils and climatic conditions of this region. You may rely on our seeds. Since having been engaged in the elevator business we have had opportunity to observe very closely the live stock markets of the world. Having stock of our own to sell we have investigated the matter of best and quickest and most reliable market. We know that we get the highest price that is being paid for live stock, we pass the "highest price" on to you. When you sell us your live stock or any produce you get cash. Stock Feeds Coal Shipments There is nothing more important to the successful operation of a farm than proper feeds for stock. We have handled a great many different kinds of special stock feeds and when a new feed comes on the market, which is of greater value than the feeds we formerly handled, we buy it and offer it to Barry county farmers. We han­ dle all lines of feeds and we investi gate every feed before we offer it to our customers. During, these strenuous times everything is uncertain, but we feel that we have been about as certain about supplying our cus­ tomers with coal as any dealer anywhere. We have been very frank and have.told the situation just as it was. We are better equipped to handle coal business than any other coal dealers in Barry county. One of the pictures below shows our coal yards. We Are Prepared to Serve Every Customer We know that we cannot say too much about the service we are in position to render our patrons. In spite of the fact that all lines have been drawn mighty close we still keep up our usual service to every patron. Four Delivery Wagons Assure Prompt Service. Our yards and buildings are arranged especially for the con­ venience of those who wish “Service at Once” and “With Satisfaction.” We employ competent and sufficient help—enough to care for every department. Our employes are instruct­ ed to give courteous treatment and whether you call in person or phone us your order , you will always be treated correctly. FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1918 We extend you a cordial invitation to visit our Big Elevator and see how we do business. We will be glad to tell you about our different departments. These pictures may give you some idea of the tremendous size of our business.

If you are not SAVING some of your earnings, it means that you are contracting expensive fyabit* that will GROW as you be come' older. When old age comes—and it surely will if you live—you will have nothing “laid by” for the proverbial rainy day. The dollar that is spent is a lost friend —gone forever. The dollar that is SAVED is a “working partner”—never sleeping—and always adding to your Dollar Days give you an opportunity to SAVE MONEY on the purchase of things that you need now, or near future. The money you SAVE on these purchases is just as valuable to you as EARNING it. The very FIRST STEP to a successful career is the establishing of a sound, safe bank connection. This Bank will welcome YOU as a follower in the footsteps of a great many successful ihen, who began their career by opening an account here. Our aim is to keep this Bank active, progressive and in the fullest and best sense an up-to-date institution. During the more than a half a century of its existence it has kept abreast of modern prog­ ress, ever holding fast to the belief in honesty—not the mere honesty of dollars and cents—but Jwnesty in its higher sense, which means HONOR. While this Bank h as always considered its shareholders, it has NEVER NEGLECTED ITS PATRONS, nor forgotten that the cordial friendliness of every good man in the community is its most valuable asset. It still holds to these tenents, which have so largely contributed to its successful career of about a half century.

Thousands^of dollars are lost to Michigan farmers every year because of the violent storms accompanied by a heavy fall of hail. Barry County does not escape. Many a farmer in this county has lost several hundred dollars in less than aJialf hour because of a severe hail storm. Hail insurance is be­ coming more popular with farmers pvery year, and Barry County farmers ought to realize the value of-the protection which a hail policy affords. , : Represent The r Michigan Mutual Hail Insurance Company Of Lansing, Mich This company was organized under the insurance laws of the State and has been operating long enough to convince a large number of policy hold­ ers that it can and does pay losses promptly. It is the only mutual hail insurance company doing business in Michigan. The cost for taking out a policy which will give plenty of protection to all your crops is very small, and yet large enough so that the company has plenty on hand to pay your loss immediately if a storm happens along and destroys every crop you have or only a small part of the crop. Call me up any time, or when in Hastings drop in and let me tell you more about this. , - u S > MeNMfcwliMhM. GEORGE COLEMAN HASTINGS.

(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 adyertised 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 b^en 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. . v -i : ' ! ; ! The cost of the service is far less in the BANNER waj^pf, 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 Ba Co. has shown that the best buyers at an auction sale are those o come from a distance, at­ tracted because they have read about it in the BANNER, and came because they were interested in buying some article or articles listed in the adv. These people would never have heard of the auc­ tion if advertised in the old way with just auction bills, or if advertis­ ed in a paper that covered only a part of the county. The BANNER has advertised over 1,000 auctiorLsales in the past eight years, and was never in better position to give satisfac­ tory service than now. For the help of any one contemplating having an auction sale, the BANNER has published a little booklet on ‘‘How to Con­ duct An Auction Sale.’1 This we Will gladly give to any one who plans to have a sale. . ' The BANNER way of advertising auction sales is a demon­ strated success. . |j|iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii»iiiHiH»t»m»tt»»«::::tHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwdi �THE PART TWO HASTINGS time. lour Money to The Four W nds Put it in this bank where it will grow for you and do you some visible good— . now and in thte future As ye sow,-so shall ye reap.

Do not put off any longer so important a matter as the be­ ginning to save systematically—it is SO EASY to pro­ crastinate in this matter—but time goes on. A few dollars left with us will begin earning you something at once and by adding a few dollars now and then you will very soon have*a neat sum of money, ac­ cumulated 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 51.00 and then by adding to this be­ ginning and having the interest compounded semi-an­ nually,*the way we do at our bank, the account has grown until the depositor has a good sum to invest in some paying business. Every dollar deposited in our savings department wilt earn you 3 per cent interest compounded semi-annually. we It to Everyone to Keep Your Buildings Painted YOU OWE IT TO THE BUILDINGS, because that is the only way you can protect them from the sun aqd rain.

FUNERAL DIRECTORS Day or Kight Calls Promptly Attended. DELTON, MICHIGAN. LICENSED EMBALMERS 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 beeji 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.areinterested they save the BANNER for reference, which could not be done with an auction bill. r . The cost of the service is far less in the BANNER way^of handling sales, because it saves practically all the time formerly used in putting up bills. And counting four readers for each copy, over 20,­ 000 people nave a chance to see the adv. in the BANNER where only 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, and4 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 jf advertis­ ed in a paper that covered only a part of the county. The BANNER has advertised over 1,000 auction sales in the past eight years, and was ntever in better position to give satisfac­ tory service than now. For the help of any one contemplating having an auction sale, the BANNER has published a little booklet on "How to Con­ duct An Auction Sale. This we will gladly give to any one who plans to have a sale. The BANNER way of advertising auction sales is a demon­ strated success. . .................................................................. .. �THE HASTINGS BANNER PART TWO Thursday, August 1, 1918 George WHY A UBLICAN CONGRESS SHOULD BE CHOSEN NEXT FALL FOR THE NATION’S GOOD.

This summer The Dow Chemical Company will start a course of training for young men between seventeen and twenty-one interested in learning either a trade or getting the fundamentals of a chemical engineering eduJ cation. The education requirements arc that the boys 4 should have finished the eighth grade. A high school edu­ cation is still more desirable. The young men spend three-' hours n day In the Company’s school under competent in­ struction and the rest of the day in the plant. Compensa­ tion will be allowed for the time spent in school as well as while at work in the plant, so that it is possible for any boy, whether he has a family to help him or not, to avail himself of this opportunity.

It drew a road scraper through the hard ip several inches in depth of the bed, which could not have been teams,, and "walked* through it with perfect ease. done Much more than this may be saved by the use of Duplex Four Wheel Drive Truck if bins or loaders could be arranged at the gravel pits so the truck could be loaded quickly, these bins being filled while the truck is making the trip with the gravel. Every County in Michigan Should Have Several Duplex Four-Wheel Drive Motor Trucks For Economy and Efficiency in Road Building The great value of the Duplex Four Wheel Drive Motor Truck cannot be gainsaid. It is the leading truck for power and efficiency. Its ability to do work at lower expense of operation is almost beyond conception. The reason for this is the method of application of power. All four wheels drive at the same time—it is another case of “pull all together”. No other truck can compete wit!) the Duplex in ability to do work with speed. Any place where Force and Speed are required at low expense the Duplex can "make good". One of the departments of special work in which the Duplex Four Wheel Drive is but classing everything else in the truck manufacturing is Fire Fight­ ing. The Duplex Fire Trucks are the most efficient truck any city can buy and they give,the greatest satisfaction,—they get there quicker, are less expen­ sive in operation, always work when needed, and.easily operated. Duplex Fire Trucks greatly lessen the fire risk in any city whose fire department is equipped-with one^ . DUPLEX SALES AGENCY Both Phones STATE DISTRIBUTORS, LANSING, MICH Cor. Shiawassee and Washington Ave. Any corporation, firm or individual having any heavy work to do in the way of carrying, or pulling, will find that no other truck on the market can do their work with so great ease and speed as the Duplex Four Wheel Drive Truck. We will cheerfully give complete demonstration of this truck to any prospective purchaser of a high grade truck. What we tell you above about the saving to the taxpayers of Barry county in the making of roads by use of a Duplex can also be saicl relative to other lines of work which the Duplex can do. . . t Thia is another view of the Duplex-Motor Truck purchased by the Barry Co.

Presbyterian chureh, nnd has Commercial Department Young men, young women and others, we wish to urge you to start a Savings Account with us now. Do not put off any longer so important a matter as the be­ ginning to save systematically—it is SO EASY to pro­ crastinate in this matter—but time goes on. good A few dollars left with us will begin earning you something at once and by adding a few dollars now and then you will very soon have a neat sum of money ac­ cumulated for some future use or for the expected rain}- day which is sure to come. Every person who has bills to pay—(and who has not?) should have a commercial checking account with us nnd should pay all accounts by check. Paying accounts by check is the best possible way to make payments. Many an error has been prevented and many a loss saved by the use of a check instead of currency. If money is lost the finder if unscrupulous may use it, or the finder may never be able to discover the loser. If a check for the same amount is lost, the maker can be known by the signature and though the finder be unscrupulous the m^ker of the check can cancel payment. ' QUIT CLAIMS.

The BANNER, which covers the entire field of Barry county, ; and reaches nine out of every ten homes of the county, furnishes I , the medium through which an auction may be thoroughly adyer■ tised in every corner of the county. So completely does the BANI NER do its work of giving publicity to an auction sale that many of L. the best sales have been conducted without a single bill being posted. ’ People have come to expect that a sale this is to be held in Barry Co. will surely be announced in this paper; and if they are interested they ; save the BANNER for reference, which could not be done with an ; auction bill. .

The cost of the service is far less in the BANNER way, of handlirtg 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. The BANNER has advertised over 1,000 auction sales in the past eight years, and was never in better position to give satisfao tory service than now. For the help of any one contemplating having an auction sale, the BANNER has published a little booklet on "How to Con­ duct An Auction Sale. This we will gladly give to any one who plans to have a sale. -----------—------ -Hnt xi___ "Exactly.

Saving is largely a habit and this Bank encourages 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, i. . We would like to hnvf every man, especially every yohng man who is interested in assur­ ing a successful future for himself, to call at t his bank apd learn tho facilities we can place at his disposal, and the great help we can give him, if he will open a savings account here.. We are in close touch with all the financial centers'of the country, and our advice concerning mat­ ters is often of great value. There Is Virtue In Saving There is virtue in JUST SAVING MONEY. It is good discipline—it builds character, because no one can save except they practice self-denial. Then, too, it is planning for the fu­ ture—and every’ individual should plan for th e future. Nowhere are we taught that we should be careless about the future, nor is there any exqnse for those who fail to provide for conditions which may arise. A little thoughtful consideration of the future and what it will mean without ready mon­ ey, and what it may mean with MONEY IN THE BANK will convince anyone of the wisdom of acquirnig the saving habit, and of accumulating some money for the future. Savings In This Accommodating Bank Bring (You a Good Rate of Interest and We Keep Your Money Working for You INVESTIGATE . When u man thinks of a safe investment he generally thinks of a government bond. Noth­ ing is supposed to be safer. Your savings deposited in this bank are “JUST AS SAFE AS A GOVERNMENT BOND, for they are bucked by $800,000 resources of this bank ; backed by all the safeguards of the Michigan Banking law, which is thc model banking la-iy for thu country.. We pay 3 per cent Interest Compounded Semi-Annuallv on all savings accounts.

We can demonstrate how the Weber fifth wheel makes the best wagon still better. The famous fifth wheel on the Weber, made of strong, malleabfe iron, with large wearing surface, does these things: It distributes the strain on the front bolster and sand board; overcomes pitching of bolster, so. preventing bending or breaking of the king boh; does away with pulling up nf front bolster und bending of circle iron. The top plates of the fifth wheel are widest, so the lower piales are protected and no dirt gets in between. 1 he more you study the merits of this feature, the moie you will appre; ciate its importance.

It is good discipline—it builds character, because no one can save except they practice aclf-deniul. Then, too, it is planning for the fu­ ture—and every individual should plan for the futqre.

Every voter in Barry County ought to be interested enough to attend this primary. The candidates to be nominated next Tuesday are as follows I United States Sena­ tor, Representative in Congress, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Senator, Representative in the Legislature, Sheriff, County Clerk, Register of Deeds, County Treasurer, Prosecuting Attorney, Drain Commissioner, County Surveyor, two Coroners and two Cir­ cuit Court Commissioners. ' r We know these are busy times, and especially with the shortage of help, that much larger burdens than usual must be bourne by ev­ erybody.

O., 714, American E. F. France. The public should understand that the profits of the packers have been limited by the Food Administration since November 1, 1917. For this pur­ pose, the business of Swift & Company is now divided into three classes: Claw 1 includes such products aa beef, pork, mutton, oleomargarine and others that aro essentially animal products. Profits are limited to 9 per cent of the capititl employed in these departments, (including sur­ plus And borrowed money), or not to exceed two’dnd a half cents on ■ each dollar of bales. Claw 2 includes the soap, glue, * fertiliser, and other departments more or less Associated with the meat business. Many of these de­ partments ary in competition with outside businesses whose profits are not limited. Profits in tt\i» class are restricted-to 13 per cent of tha capital employed. _ Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the operation of pocking plants in foreign countries. Profits in this doss nr^ not limited. K Total profits for all departments together in 1998 will probably be between three and four per cent on an increased volume of sales. •The restrictions absolutely guar­ antee a reasonable relation between live stock prices and wholesa.e meat prices, because the pucker’s profit can­ not possibly average piqre than a fraction of a cent per pound of producL Since the profits on meat (Classi) are running only about 2 cents on each dollar of sales, we have to depend on tho profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other depart­ ments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital. ' Swift & Company is conducting its business so as to come within these limitations. Swift & Company, U.

I -Not "Cure-Alls” A long time ago, we realized that the enlightened public was learning to diacriminate between ’cure-alls” and “specific remedies.” It always did gd^against our grain, as professional pharmacists, to sell patent "cure-alls” about whose secret formulas we knew little or nothing. But we had to, as long as the public demanded them. 1 Nowadays, instead of secret preparations with a multiplicity of claims as paneceas for all ills, thinking people ask for Rexall remedies, each.with its specific virtue in the relief of a specific ailment, r. . “Rexall Remedies One for Every Ordinary Ailment Made Upon Honor—Sold Upon Merit—with a Guarantee of Satisfaction or Your Money Back.

A Delicious Refreshing Food ffl i(W The Cause of the Disease The cause of Stinking Smut is a parasitic fungus—a microscopic plant which makes no food for itself, but steals its living from the wheat. This mold is spread by 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 produc­ ed by the growth of the smut keep pace with th# 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 puts in the swollen jacket of the wheat a smut powder, made up of countless thousands of spores. ELEVENTH MICHIGAN CAVALRY REUNION The thirty-third anntfkt~li‘unlon of| the Eleventh .Michigan Cavalry will be held in Adrian on September 11 and 12. AH the members of thia com­ pany, which made such u good record it) the rebellion arc urged to attend the runinn. Tho ,announcement sent .•ut by Secretary 0. D. Caldwell, 742 Trumbull avenue, Ildroit, say*: "Ev­ erybody will be trying t<> get there first. You know 'there are no 'slacker** in the 11th Cavalry. »Comrades Decker. These false kernels, broken at threshing time or at planting time contaminate thox grain with smut spores. One smutted kernel will contain millions of spores, hence ap­ parently clean grain may give an extremely smutted crop. No one can afford to take a chance.

This is best done with formalde hyde. Two methods are available—one uses.dilute formaldehyde formaldehyde and the ti other concentrated formaldehyde. In either meth­ uses.dilute dd the grain ’----must i_---------------bo thoroughly ol.*y cleaned and fanned. Too much emphasis can not be placed upon the importance of this step o f 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 igto the_winter in bad condition. - Wm.

In this . method the formaldehyde is used just as it comes from jthe drug store without dilution, and all the delay in waiting fdr tion. f<5r the orrain grain to dry is avoided. Simply spread the grain in a long heap. . One man sprays the grain while another shovels it over. Use .a small hand atomizer—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 s mailer quantities of grain than 50 bushels use correspondingly 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. 1 ] £ I J 7 1 Many fields treated by this method have given perfect stands and perfect con- | trol of smut. Either method is cheap and easy, costing labor and all, qot more than ] 2 cents a bushel. Seed treatment is the only protection the farmer has against the * occasional rtnut ball that may be in fairly clean wheat. One smutted kernel can contaminate thousands of kernels with spores. The thresher, too, carries its grist J of smut from farm to farm. A comparatively clean wheat may yield excessive smut fl the next year. । | In this time of stress, it is the duty of every farmer to insure his wheat crop. No ] matter how clean the seed, no matter how highly recommended it comes from any I grower or seedsman, treatment means safety. Let us treat every bushel of wheat I that goes into the ground tills fall. | Waters Bros. Elevator Co., Inc. Dealer* in Grains, Beans, Seed, Coal, Hides and Pelts, Etc.

CARS WE WANT YOU TO SEE THEM AT THE FAIR The New Series consists of three models similar in general design, each ideal for its purpose ger Big Six. We call your attention especially to the models mentioned below— . A 5-Passenger Light Four—A 5-Passenger Light Six—and A 7-PassenTHE LIGHT FOUR This view of the LIGHT FOUR shows that-the same distinctive and beautifully harmonious, body lines of the more-expensive models have been retained in the smaller and lighter FOUR. Neither the.appearance nor the quality of this car have been sacrificed. In appearance and fact it stands in a class by itself. bi this new tive-paSsenger LIGHT FOUR, Studebaker offers a car which has been de­ signed Io till it demand for a light-weight, high-quality car which can be bought at. a ■ oason'able price, which is large and roopiy enough to give comfort and convenience lo five pnasenger.L high grade in finish, equipment and appearance, and adequately beautiful in lines to satisfy even, the very di (criminating buyer. Therefore, the problem before the engineers in planning this car w«s to plan'as good a four-cylinder car as ex­ pert skill. wide experience, and great engineering and factory resources would permit. Reasonable price also had to be taken into consideration, but this was made secondary ■o the quality and appearance of the car. T ,e new Studebaker LIGHT FOUR is the re<ill. It has been tested out in the expcrim ntal ropms, and 40,000 miles on the roads •’trough the mountains of the United States a-id Canada, and finally on the Chicago speed• av. Tests have been, made in comparison with the best known- tour-cylinder* cars on the market. The results of cycry test have proved tne pow। si-“ed. endurance and gen••riil inechanithd excellence of 5-Passenger Light Four THE LIGHT SIX The lightness and speed of this car ar? indicated in the long, low lines. Note the blending of curves, the distinctively modeled fiont seat nnd the plain har­ monious crown fenders. Conservative elegance, quality and good taste are the characteristics of this model. The five-passenger LIGHT SIX design and construction is similar to the BIG SIX, bqt the motor is a little smaller; the whole car is lighter. Its exterior appearance suggests the car'it is; a beautifully-designed, light-weight car with agility, speed, quick pickup, ideal power; a car that any member of the family can drive all day long without fatigue. The comfortable position of the seats; the deep, soft cushions; ample leg-room; the simple * noiseless gearshift; the great leverage developed by a touch of the brake and clutch­ pedals; the ceMainty of the starting mechanism; the responsive flexibility of the motor ■ and the remarkable ease with which the car steers and" stays in the road—all these ap-^ , peal instantly to the lover of a fine motorcar—you will find them all in the Studebaker LIGHT SIX. The riding qualities of this model are very fine. It will travel 55 Io GO miles an hour, mills after mile, without uncomfortable vibration or apparent effort. Goodyear Bros.

For a great many years this store has been known as the ^School Book Store of Barry County” because we have made a specialty New School Books Wc are familiar with all the new School Books which your boy and girl will _ ’ need next year. We keep our shelves supplied with books for both city achoola and ■ rural schools. We make a special effort to take care of this demand and we can prob-' ably assist you better than any one else in selecting the proper books for the prtper grades. Come to us/don’t let some one who doesn’t understand your needs, get your' ~ “ children’s books alt mixed up. of SCHOOL BOOKS and SCHOOL ROOM SUPPLIES of all kinds. We 1 have built up a SCHOOL BOOK trade that depends upon us—BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO KNOW THAT OUR PRICES ARE AS LOW AS BOOKS CAN BE SOLD FOR. Second Hand Books / We Can Save You From 25 to 50% We are always on the alert for the welfare of our customers. We real­ ize that SCHOOL BOOKS cost money and our policy is to sell at the low­ est possible price wlych we can. Come and see us early. DON’T WAIT UN­ TIL THE RUSH. Every year during the summer months we make an effort to collect shelf-worn— and second hand books which we can _pell very cheap. Lots of them are in perfect condition and just as good as new. Many children are very careful of their books and when tho year is finished bring the books back to us and we sell them to some others who find they can use second hand books. If you have any old books in good repair bring them in and let us see them. We may be able to use them.

One smutted kernel wiii contain mUitoaui of spores, hence ap­ parently clean grain may give an extreme ty smutted crop. bto one can afford to take jt chance. . To Control Stinking Smut T« reatrol this ifac—e it bhMMMQr to Idll’th* sjnut spores which are outside of the grain. Tins is best done with forma Ido h yd e. Two methods are available—one uses dilute formsJdebyde and the other concentrated fovmaldehyde. In either meth­ od the grain must be thoroughly cleaned and fanned. Too much emphasis eaa not be placed upon the importance of this stop of too presses. Tha smut halls and tha light moldy grains eauseff 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 clean barn floor or canvas, or in a wagon box, with formaldehyde diluted a t the rate of one pint to 40 gallons of water (2 tablespoonsful to 10 quarts). Use aboutt quarts of mixture to a bushel of grain. Shovel or take the grain during the sprinkling. Then put into a heap, cover with blankets, CLEAN sacks, or canvas for four hours. The grain is then spread out until it iadry enough to run through the drill. / The New Concentrated Formaldehyde Method THs year we are Advising the new method devised at Cornell University. In this method the formaldehyde te used just as it comes from the drug store without dilu­ tion, and all the delay in waiting fpr the grain to dr}* in avoided. Simply spread the grain in a long heap. One man sprays the grain while another shovels it over. Use a small hand atomizer—pint or quart size. Turn the grain from one pile into another just aa dhe would mix concrete. ‘One pint of formalde­ hyde is used for 50 bushels of grain. For s mailer quantities of grain than 60 bushels use correspondingly smaller quantities of formaldehyde. After the grain is thoroughly sprayed cover with blanketr, or canvas for four hours—no longer—and then spread thinly for • thorough airing. Many fields treated by this method h'ave given perfect stands and perfect con­ trol of smut. Either method is eheap and easy, costing labor and all, net mere than 2 cents a bushel. Seed treatment is the only protection the fanner has against the occasional smut ball that may be in fairly dean wheat. One smutted kerne! can contaminate thousands af kernels with spores. The thresher, too, carries its grist of smut from farm to farm. A comparatively clean wheat may yield excessive smut the next year. - o-tljr*e I In this time of stress, it is the duty of every farmer to insure his wheat crop. No matter how clean the seed, no matter how highly recommended it comes from, any grower or aeedaman. treatment means safety. Let us treit every bushel of wheat that goes into ths ground this fall.

McAdoo Saya: “I have been reported in the public press as having appealed to property owners not to con­ struct any homes Or buildings during the war. This is entirely erroneous. I have said that build­ ing operations which are not required to pro­ tect the health or provide for the comfortable nee'da of our people, or to supply facilities neces,»ary for the proper conduct of essential busi­ ness, should be postponed. “As you know I have no authority to di­ rect that building o^erktions be curtailed. I have merely suggested that unnecessary build­ ing of that kind be postponed until the .end of the war. Such postponement would, I am sure, help win the war, but every patriotic man must be determined by his own conscience in the mat­ ter and must decide for himself if he can post­ pone the erection of a contemplated building until the war is over."

Those wjtji a little experience are readily obtaining employment at from $20.00 a week, iip. :■ u h:>r.

Every student tiftotoyswhWhlitftaken the| ^ryjee examin­ ation—arid scores of them Have—vhas passed Hi^'^^age and received Appointment almost immediately. Many of them, were advanced to better positions carrying more re­ sponsibility and greater pay within the first month of service. Without exception they are HHIVMA-'J . . The Army। ana Navy , 1 Young men who are soon^to enter the Na tippal or^fkYJ^wtfl, find^ia epursfl of trqjnipgpf wonderful help. Both the Army and Navy are sorely in need of young men for bookkeeping, stenographic, aiffiTbHier cTencaT- wo^.^WiffiOTTei’cepfidn^ourHbysfiave-dem^* onstrated the worth of this training. Army officials emphasize thih1 ‘ne$8*to,'6V,'’jAndTelT ua'' to urge our young men to stay in school until they have completed'the £ouf'eeb‘<3r*stucly ’and are ready to assume such duties when they enlist or are called to the cdloi%’.‘**' . To Those Who Cannot Go Young men who because of physical disability, or otherwise, are exempt from army service are finding this course of study of exceptional value to them. The demand for such young men is absolutely unprece­ dented in the history of this institution, consequently they choose the most advantageous openings—places where advancement will be most rapid. These posi­ tions pay our young men directly out of school from $75.00 to $125.00 a month. Machine Bookkeeping Course Our teaching equipment includes the most modern of office appliances, which have been installed so that our students may,have the advantage of school train­ ing under conditions exactly as they will find them in business life. A BURROUGHS BOOKKEEPING MACHINE is a part of this equipment. With it, our students are train­ ed in the mechanical bookkeeping systems which are rapidly sypplapting pen-and-ink methods of account­ ing in thousands of banks and business and govern­ ment offices of the country., The Burroughs Machine makes figure work 75 per cent automatic—it adds, subtracts, prints dates and extends balances. Students in this department of our school are made familiar with its wide range of uses in modern busi­ ness practice. . Without,previous btuineu experience of any kind, our atudenta are able to become expert calculator op­ erators after a very brief course of study. To those who must learn to earn in tha shortest possible time, this-feature of the course is important. By earnest ■ study, they become proficient in a few short weeks and can qualify for- a place on the business pay roll at an attractive salary. Probably in no other line of • endeavor is the earning capacity of a woman so large in proportion to the length of training necessary. The. demand for calculator operators is usually far in excess of the supply, so good positions are always open to those who are fitted to fill them. The Service Department^ REMEMBER, the “SERVICE DEPARTMENT’ of the MICHIGAN BUSINESS A NORMAL COLLEGE / places its graduates in high-grade, responsible posi­ tions just as soon as they have completed the required course of study. In many instances our young people secure employment several months before graduating. We are operating -every department of the school on a "War Emergency” bpsis. We are doing things in less time than -we ourselves even dreamed possible. If you Attend'this institution you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that the results will be satisfactory. V.

Those who have used the “Decarbo” are pleased with it. The Hastings Dccarbo is a little device (patent applied for) which takes a small quantity of water from the head of the engine; a vacuum draws this water down into the Decarbo, where it is converted into steam, and •ends this steam into the intake manifold. This steam goes all through the cylinders and spark plugs, softening the carbon which is blown out through the exhaust. The BEST TEST of any appliance is what it will ACTUAL­ LY DO when put into practical, every-day use. We will put a HASTINGS DECA RBO on your car and give you 30 days’ FREE TRI AL—If at the end of 30 days you are not satisfied, drive your car around to our factory and we will remove the Decarbo without any trouble or expense to you, and will CHEERFULLY REFUND YOUR MONEY. For installing a Decarbo, drive your car to the Hastings Mfg.

We now have an assurer-outlet for-our product and we can guarantee good prices and a permanent market. Our opportunity for product lies in operating our plant to capacity, and when the receipts are large enough, building on to our plantThe more milk we can handle in one plant the lower our operating expense per hundred pounds will be. Therefore it is our aim to build up our receipts and we are. starting out to do it. There is profit for you too in the production of more milk. v Prices are ruling high on dairy products and will continue to do so. And in producing more milk you are performing a patriotic duty for the dairy cow is the most efficient producer of human food.

Tent No. 1 wn« Mr. and Mrs. Milton proven champion of cricket, while A large number of people all over Barry county fiave entructed their insurance wholly to me. The insurance business is MY Business, and as I am in it all the while, there are certain features of it that I want to. talk over with one and all. I consider it my duty to do this, and I am paying for this advertisement in order that I may discuss the insurance proposition fully,, and I am sure that after having read.this announcement that all will agree with me. Hero is a point that I would like to impress upon the minds of all property owners in Barry county: If you have carefully read the accounts of barmi and buildings burned in this county, as they have appeared in the papers, you will have noticed this fjfctInvariably the LOSSES WERE ■NOT ANYWHERE NEAR COVERED BY THE INSURANCE. . What does this mean? Ir means that the owners of these properties had entirely overlooked the fact that their buildings are WORTH far more today than they were several years itgo, anil had not PROTECTED THEMSELVES by taking out additional insurance to cover this increase in value. For instance, take a barn that was built for $1500 five years ago, and the owner took out a policy of $1000 to cov-_ er it. Today that same building could probably not be duplicated for LESS than $3000. If that barn bums NOW, that farmai/is SURE to lose at least $2000, because he couldn't duplicate the building for less than $3000—and farmera MUST have bams if they continue in the business. , Identically the same thing is true of residence properties. There is ju^l ONE safe and sane thing for every property owner to do, if he hasn’t already done it, and that is to INCREASE YOUR INSURANCE ON YOUR BUILDINGS TO PROTECT YOURSELF, Of course even partial insurance helps some, withFULLTROTECTION you can Vrest easy," and KNOW that if the "Fire Fiend” visits you, that you will not be financially crippled as a result, because ’ any policy I sell you'will be just as good as a Government Bond, and you will get •a good fair and square adjustment oh it.1 If You Are Thinking About Taking Out a Policy, or Increasing Your Insurance, See Me, Write Me, or Phone Me About It.

Great Britain mast give G&ralter to Spain, cede its war fleet to Garmaag, give Egypt and the Saez Canal to Turkey. Greece must be re-established under former King Constantine, with frontiers as before the war. CRAfrTOMSTU DIOS How Are ¥ju Going lb Ariswer Germany's Peace Terms? p)HE greatest advertisement for J [ the Fourth Liberty Loan of the United States of America has been written by a Prussian. His name is Count Roon and he wrote it as a member of the Prussian House of Lords. It is printed above. Read it care­ fully. Forty-five billion dollars or more x indemnity! . This/then, is the price the world must pay for a victorious German peace. This, then, is the footnote to the Kaiser’s prayer, expressed in the coldest terms of plainest business. This is the meaning of war to the Prussian, as he proclaims his battles right­ eous, prosecuted in self-defense. Oh, you men and women of Amer­ ica, is there a dollar in all this land to-day so tightly held that it will not now come forth to answer the swaggering arrogance of the Hun? These days will tell, for as you place your name upon that subscription blank for Liberty Bonds you state the price your land, your liberty and democracy are worth to you today.

The Quartermaster’s Department is calling on all manufacturers for more milk. Won’t you help produce it? INCREASE YOUR HERD—Buy Some Good Cows We will pay for them and you may pay us by turning over one-half your milk check each month until the amount is paid off. With prices for milk where they are, it won’t be long until the cows are paid for. Figure it up. Milk this month is $3.00 per hundred, and will go higher. ' This is a convenient way of building up a profitable herd quickly. Why not take advantage of it? If you do not know where to buy GOOD cows, we will be glad to assist you. Good dairy cows are a good investment. There will be a big demand for them after the war to replace the herds that have been killed off in European countries.

M. to 10 P. M. The Barry County War Board and the chairmen of the Town­ ship War Boards met in this city Thursday evening to de­ cide the time and place for the receiving of voluntary pledges in each township and ward in Barry County for the Fourth Liberty Loan, the nation-wide campaign for which will begin on Saturday, September 28. After mature consideration, in which free expression of views was made by all pres­ ent it was UNANIMOUSLY VOTED to ASK ALL the peo­ ple of Barry County to make their pledges for the next loan on ONE DAY ONLY, SATUR­ DAY, SEPTEMBER 28, FROM 7 A. M. TO 10 P. M. It was also voted to send to every person on the tax roll, as well as to every person known to own income-producing prop­ erty, such as mortgages, notes, land contracts, bonds, bank de­ posits drawing interest, etc., a notice giving him a plain state­ ment of the methods by which he can compute-the amount of the Fourth Loan bonds he ought to tal^e, and how he can bring up his proportion of the Second and Third Loans also, provided he took none or less than his proportion of the Second and Third issues. The Township and Hastings City War Boards will be AT THE POLLING PLACES in ev­ ery township and in each of the wards from 7 a. m. till 10 p. m. of Saturday, September 28, and on that day only, and will have the necessary pledge card*) etc., and plenty of help " bo as to expedite the work of receiving the pledges. In the letters sent out this week, it is indicated very plain­ ly how each one can figure out for himself or herself just what amount he or she should take of the bonds of .the Fourth Lib­ erty Loan in order to take his or her full share. It is expect­ ed each one will figure this matter conscientiously, and TO IMPROVE BAD, BUT VERY IMPORTANT ROAD TMIN SCHEDULE IS TELLS OF PREPARAContract Let for Good Road OUT FUJI C. K. & S.

IEUTENANT ELY, it is ours reverently to acknowledge the service you have rendered. E —J To your country and ours, you gave all you had to give, a life, young and buoyant, offered when you had but just arrived at life’s fullest under­ standing—and more than this no man can give. It did, indeed, for you uncovered the heart of all America when you wrote, “I want to say in closing, if anything happens to me let’s have no mourning in spirit or in dress, for like a Liberty Bond, it is an investment, not a loss, when a man dies for his country. ” But in the giving, sir, you gave as well the out­ pour of your stout young heart—that all of us to whom you pass along the touch might offer prayer, and carry on in better understanding of that ennobled cause for which no sacrifice shall be in vain. < Some of us are far behind the fighting lines of France today. For circumstance has made two battle lines, and there must be therefore those gone to fight, and others kept behind to carry on at home. But as you say, both lines bring chance for deeds well done, and great investments too. Little did you know, Lieutenant Ely, when you The Fourth Liberty Loan is now announced. ’ Do you think, Lieutenant Ely, that we shall Boon forget your admonition—or that we shall not proudly subscribe for all we possibly can of your , country’s Liberty Bonds, which you so nobly glorified? Indeed, we can do no less, for it seems to us that each subscription blank must bear your parting salutation—“for like a Liberty Bond, it is an invest­ ment, not a loss, when a man dies for his country.” BUY UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BONDS This Space Contributed to Winning the War by CANDY LAND.

The Quartermaster’s Department is calling on all manufacturers for more milk. Won’t you help produce it? INCREASE YOUR HERD—Buy Some Good Cows We will pay for them and you may pay us by turning over one-half your milk check each month until the amount is paid off. With prices for milk where they are, it won’t be long until the cows are paid for. Figure it up. Milk this month is $3X)0 per hundred, and will go higher This is a convenient way of building up a profitable herd quickly. Why not take advantage of it? If you do not know where to buy GOOD cows, we will be glad to assist you Good dairy cows are a good investment. There will be a big demand for them after the war to replace the herds that have been killed off in European countries. You can’t make a mistake in adding to your herd.

It does all this work much faster than any bookkeeper could, and has never been known to make a mistake. The installation of this Burroughs Bookkeeping machine means that our accounts will be handled just as rap­ idly and accurately as those <5f the largest and most up-to-date banks in the country. 4 ...j ACCURACY IS ASSURED - Bl The fact that our figure work is done on a Burroughs is a guarantee to our‘customers of absoute accuracy in the handling of their accounts.' The machine qpethod of ledger posting makes it impossible for a mistake to get past unnoticed. This accuracy insurance alone is important enough to you and to us to justify the use of the machine method: but there are many other advantages. ik <• •• » ■ , < BETTER SERVICE TO PATRONS The Burroughs will handle our figure work in about half the time formerly needed. This gives us more time for other things—time to improve the service in every department of the bank. Comte in and see our machine bookkkeeping system in operation. We shall be glad to show you how the ma­ chine makes entries in our books, how it automatically adds in one column, subtracts in another and so on, and how it makes mistakes impossible. You will be welcome any time. A Four-Generation Bank We don’t want you to think of this bank just as a place to deposit your money, although of course we are glad - to have you keep as large a balance with us as possible. It is our desire to render our patrons every service and ac­ commodation that can be reasonably expected of us. ’ In several instances this Bank has con­ ducted the banking business for four generations in individual families. Talk over your business problems with us. It is part of our work to study business and financial conditions, and it may be that we can suggest some ideas that you will find worth while.

Swift & Company lays out car routes covering towns—big, little, medium size —which are not served by a Swift branch house. Salesmen find out in advance what is wanted by the dealers in every town.

Swift & Company operates a large number of car routes like this, from four­ teen distributing plants. . This is a necessary and natural part of the packers’ usefulness.

You May Buy Pure Wheat Flour Some have attempted to interpret the Food Administration Regu­ lations as forbidding the use of pure wheat flour by the housewife. No such interpretation was intended. near Richland last Monday. If you will wrife the State Food Administrator at Lansing and in­ quire about this he will tell you it is just as proper and just as patriotic to buy and use your wheat flour and your wheat flour substitutes separately as it is to buy the mixed flour. Certainly no true American would so unfit himself or herself for American citizenship as to use the wheat flour and not use the substitutes. That would be treason and the very lightest penalty should be expulsion from this ble^ed Land of Liberty.

The Government has required all mills to make a higher extrac­ tion of flour from the wheat which is a wise and conservative measure. But the quality really has not been impaired. The color of the flour is a little darker than that made from the lower extraction or pre-war flour. ■ However, every atom of LILY WHITE is splendid flour, qnds bakes deliciously flavored, light, flaky biscuits, pastries and bread. You will be delighted with it. By all means use all your substitutes; every ounce, and econo­ mize* in the Use of wheat flour.

Hays, Chairman of the Republican National Committee has sent the following to all Republican workers and the sentiments therein con­ tained are heartily indorsed by those of Barry County: "1 he Mission of America is about to be accomplished. ‘‘American soldiers in France are af this moment demonstrating to the world, the reason for America and the stuff of which this Republic is made. “Their complete success and the consequent eternal establishment every­ where in the world of the integrity of American rights, interests and honor and the right of men to govern themselves, all are assured with the proper performance of the plainest duly ofjhe citizenry at home. "The Fourth Liberty Loan is our present objective. "There is no geography, political or physical, in patriotism of this coun­ try. Democrats and Republicans alike love’their flag and are ready to die for it. We continually insist for all parties that the war be kept out of part­ isan politics and that partisanship be kept opt ot the war. "Just as in Congress the Republicans led the fight that made possible the passage qf the great war measures, so now the party membership and or- ganization has-an immediate, definite war task in the accomplishment of which it can fully function. I repeat, let there be no contest in this country as to anything that touches the war except the contest—who best can serve, who most can give. ' •, ' "The success of the Fourth Liberty Loan shall be the'Republican party’s supreme motif of thought and action until that objective is attained. “Wherever Republicans are together, by two or two thousand, it shall be a win the war meeting. Just as the Republican party’s every action at all times has been and shall be determined solely by how we can contribute most to the war’s success, so now our every thought and action shall be deter­ mined entirely by how we can make certain the quick over-subscription of the Fourth Liberty Loan. "This is a united country’s next message to Germany. * The entire Republican organization in every voting precinct in this country shall be a fighting force in this Liberty Loan drive. “This is the Republican organization’s business. ' "This is tlfe real business of every man, woman and child in America. "Everything else is chores.’* .

Gi 8806 CONKLIN THE FUTURE OF DAIR YING Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture, on his return from Europe recently brought this message to the dairymen of America. He says: “The dairy herds of the old world are depleted to an appalling degree. There is not a country in Europe where the people have enough dairy products, and thia process of depletion is going on every day, and every week, and every month, and will continue to go on so long as this horrible war lasts. When this war is finished we will find the world with a demand for dairy products two-fol^, four­ fold, ten-fold greater than the supply. Europe will come to us with outstretched hands—every country iri Europe—and say to us: ‘We must have milk; give us canned milk; give us dry milk; give us butter; give us cheese; give u» dairy cattle; give us animals to build up our dairy herds again.’ Unless America has stimulated the production of dairy products, and increased our supply of dairy animals far beyond anything in the past, we shall be utterly unable to supply this demand. We w.m supply as much of it as we can, because they will be willing to pay practically any reasonable price for our live stock; and we will supply so much of it that our own resources will be exhausted. Then this country will be without sufficient dairy products.” , / • I * Dairying surely presents some wonderful opportunities—-better prepare to take advantage of them.

No household convenience in years has made such an instant appeal to residents on farms and in small towns. All last season we received hundreds of letters inquiring about the Ro-San Closet, and thousands of them were sold. Out of the thousands sold, less than five were re­ turned on our legal and binding guarantee —which comes with every closet. 1 It is no experiment. It has been tried and proven. Endorsed by State Boards of Health all over the couhtry. Hundreds of them are now in-use in this State. It is the greatest sanitary invention of the age for homes without sewerage. It- is more comfortable, healthful and conve­ nient than the outdoor closet. It eliminates the open vault and cesspool which are breeding places for disease germs. It enables you to have a warm, sanitary, odorless toilet right in your house. No going out in cold weather, which is dangerous, uncomfortable and un- necessary. A boon to invalids, the iijied 7 and children. The term, are killed by a chemical proc­ ess in water in the container, which you empty once a month. Absolutely no odor. No more trouble to eihpty than ashes. Closet absolutely guaranteed. Don’t let another day go by without send­ ing for full information. You don’t want the discomfort of last winter. Why not be comfortable and safe when it costs so little? You and your family are entitled to it. Life isn't any too easy on any of us, and we might as well take what com­ fort we can, especially when it means safeguarding life and health at a very low cost. Many a heavy cold, pneumonia, etc., are started by unnecessary and chil­ ling trips outdoors. ' Sign and Send the Coupon Today. Send no Money Juat send the coupon.

They think a cold, stuffy, draffty house is-a necessary evil.

In these days when everyone wants tc aavc the coal needed to win the war that’u a bis; consideration. . Ana to think that the ptorm equipment pays for itself in one or ccasons! But more important still, storm windows and storm doers incrtir.se the comfort and healthfulness of your house by climinatinr odd floor drafts, by making it possible to keep warm" in the severest winter weather, and by permitting perfect ventilation.

This is a crucial period in our National life. In a few months’ time we have become one of the World Powers. It is’our opportunity as well as duty to rescue the Principles of Liberty from the trampling feet of Hunism. . It has been estimated that this war is costing this country about $ 1100 per second, so you can readily see why you should make the great sacrifice, which may be recjbired by your pur­ chasing a Fourth Liberty; Loan Bond. • * YOU can do YOUR part by lending the Government some of £our savings. Invest now in one or more of the Liberty Loan Bonds. You will be helping yourself while you help your coun­ try. The bonds pay 4} per cent interest and are-as gobd as gold.

You filled in a name of a Barry County Bank through which you agreed to complete your purchase. There are hundreds of these agreements—YOURS included—in the banks awaiting the next step. The next step is up to you. Visit your Bank as soon as you can before close of business on October 19, and make the first payment on whatever plan of purchase you have nominated. This is just as important as it was for you to make your subscription in the first place. It is just as much of a patriotic duty. The task now confronted by the banks is tremendous. You can help make it easier—and you can hasten your own receipt of bonds—if you will visit your bank as soon as possible and complete your Fourth Liberty Loan obligation.

USE GAS-NOT COAL Seventy-five per cent of the coal burned in your kitchen range, ordinary furnace or stove, and used in a coal hot water heater is actually wasted. It goes up the chimney in smoke and fumes and is carried away in ash. To-day the nation needs the by-products of your coal as never before.

Windstorm Insurance Building. . , Hastings, Mich. �Cold The necessity for pcompt treatment of a cold cannot fie too strongly emphasized. Every day’s neglect gives the cold-germs a stronj foot­ hold on the weakened system, and decreases the lil of a quick recovery. Unless the cold is treated when the first symptoms appear, it is liable to become chronic, caus­ ing great discomfort. The dull ache, sneezing and watery eyes that generally precede a cold are Nature’s warning. Prompt measures must be taken if you would prevent the cold making fur­ ther .headway. One of the most effective remedies to ac­ complish this is REXALL COLD TABLETS Their prorfTpt use will drive out the ache, reduce the fever and break up the cold.* As a protection against colds you should keep a box of Rexall Cold Tablets constantly on hand. 30 tablets, 25c. .

Don’t Be an Ostrich DON’T BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND THINK THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL. LISTEN TO WHAT INSURANCE _ STATISTICS SHOW IS THE AVERAGE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY 100 MEN, WHO ARE HEALTHY AT 25 YEARS OF AGE, WHEN THEY REACH 65 YEARS. . 36 are dead 1 is rich 4 5 54 , .... ; . ’■ are wealthy are self supporting are dependent on someone else Do These Facts Mean Anything to You? Just read that table over and over, and then THINK ABOUT IT—54 persons out of every 100 about you, who are now in good health at 25 years of age; who are active and apparently doing well, and with every prospect of financial success and INDEPENDENCE, will in 40 years be dependent on someone else for support. - It’s an AMAZING statement, and yet the accu­ rate statistics of the Insurance Companies have PROVEN IT. What Does It Mean? When 54 men out of every 100, who are strong and healthy at 25 years of agC, become dependent upon someone else 25 years later, it MEANS SOMETHING. It means that in the earning period of life, say between the ages of 20 and 50, there was no definite plan of SAVING. There was no system or method to guide the daily expenditures. Money came easily, and was spent easily with no thought of "tomorrow.” What one does day after day soon becomes a HABIT—and habits GROW. When one spends every ' year as much as he earns—or more than he earns—and keeps it up year after year, it is an Absolute CERTAIN TY that when he reaches the age of 65 years he will have NOTHING. He will be DEPENDENT upon someone else, a,nd worse than that his EARNING CAPACITY WILL HAVE GONE. It is then that he reaps a harvest of barren regrets. ' Where Do You Stand? If you are a young man, or a young woman around 25 yeans of age, what are you doing to safeguard your future independence? Certainly you will - not be content to DRIFT along and trust blindly to LUCK. Have yoii placed a definite limit of expense for your personal needs, ot those of your house­ hold? Are your habits of life sufficiently well balanced to permit your liv- „ ing within a stated income and at the same time permit you to SAVE MONEY for future investment? Your future financial independence is in your own hands. . ■ ' • . SAVING MONEY each week, or each month, is the underlying prihcipie which can lift you from the class of potential dependents at 65 to FINAN­ CIAL INDEPENDENCE. It is the ONLY principle which will do it, as a gen­ eral proposition. Only a comparatively few have the courage to face the issue squarely, as it applies to them today, but continue to play the part of the Ostrich. ' In order to SAVE you must have a starting point, and a system, and folr low it not for a few weeks or a few months, but year in and year out. Every year sees a good increase in the number of "SAvERS” in this Bank, and the War is teaching us all, not only the value of Saving, but the necessity as well, so that 40 years hence 54 out of every 100 men will not be dependent. Think it over, and join your friends in putting money regularly every week or month in our Savings Department, which has started many men and women on the road to financial independence.

Indoor Closet The Ro-San is the original Chemical Indoor Closet which you have seen advertised in all the farm papers for the last four years. No household convenience in years has made such an instant appeal to residents on farms and in .small towns. AH last season we received hundreds of letters inquiring about the Ro-San Closet, and thousands of them were sold. Out of the thousands sold, less than five were re­ turned on our legal and binding guarantee -r-which comes with every closet. It is no experiment.- It has been tried and proven. Endorsed by State Boards, of Health all over the country. Hundreds of them are now -in use in this State. It is the greatest sanitary invention of the age for homes Without sewerage. It'is more comfortable, healthful and conve­ nient than the outdoor closet. It eliminates the open vault and cesspool which are breeding places for disease germs. It enables you to have a warm, sanitary, odorless toilet right in your house. No going out in cold weather, which is dangerous, uncomfortable and un- necessary. A boon to invalids, the aged and children. The germs are killed by a chemical proc­ ess iu water th the container, which you empty once a month. Absolutely no odor. No more trouble to empty .than ashes. Closet absolutely guaranteed. Don't let another day go by without send­ ing for full information. You don't want the discomfort of last winter. Why not be comfortable and safe, when it costs so little? You and your family are entitled to it. Life isn't any too easy on any of us, and we might as well take what com­ fort we can, especially when it means 'Safeguarding life and health at a very low ’ cost.

Oh how hard tu Rive hit., up; Big Cut on Dictator Flour We are making an extraordinary cut in the price of our "DICTATOR" FLOUR. Get our price before buying even a 25 pound sack, for we can SAVE YOU MONEY on even that small amount. , /There is no better flour on the market to-day than "DICTATOR,” and you will say so if you will use it. If you think you can't use it after buying and giving it a fair trial, we will COME AND GET IT and REFUND YOUR MONEY. What can be more fair? We are bound to.have our-share of the flour business of this city if PRICE will do it. . This price applies to every.Tlour-user—our farmer friends as well as town folksy* Be sure and inquire fpr our formula for Making Bread, using substitutes. Thr. Formula is CORRECT, having been tried out ancj experimented with by an expert bread­ maker. . ■ . We are making the price so LOW and the flour so GOOD, that every household in the city will want to use "DICTATOR." v We wish to say to. our Farmer Friends that we are still giving 40 LBS. of DICTATOR for a Bushel of Good Milling Wheat. AJso say that the Food Administration has made some very’liberal rules for you in that, you may take out not to exceed One Year’s Supply of Flour at one time without substitutes providing you agree-to use substitutes of your own in accordance with their plans and rules. Now is the time to take.advantage of these rules for your year’s flour, for they may be changed at any time. PATRONIZE YOUR HOME INSTITUTION.—BE LOYAL. Hastings Milling Co PHONE 2283. ’ > C. A.

Those who use Ingrain’s Mouth Wash as a preven tative during the present epidemic are prettysure to continue its use as a gargle for cold in the head and for sore throat and for catarrh as well as for a dentifrice, for a dentifrice because it contains emetine which is regarded as a spe­ cific for pyorrhea. Smokers find Ingram’s Mouth Wash especially efficient as a dentifrice and deoderant. Ingram’s Mouth Wash in 16 oz. bottles 50c The Service Store Hastings Drug Co. Hastings �Two Presidents of the ' . . United States Write Commander Newberry From Theodore Roosevelt Oyster Bay, Long Island, October 19,1918. Commander Truman H. Newberry, New York City. > My dear Commander! I congratulate you on your nomination, but far more do I con­ gratulate Michigan and all our people. It was my good fortune to have you serve under me as Secretary of the Navy, and I can testify personally to your efficiency and your disinterested and single-minded zeal for the public service. To a very peculiar de­ gree you have stood for that hind of government which puts the interest of the people as a whole first and foremost, and treats all other considerations as negligible, when the public weal is in­ volved. The record made by you and your two sons in this war is typical of your whole attitude as a public sen-ant. Both your boys at once entered the Navy, and are now on the high teas. You sought employment abroad; when that was refused you, you ac­ cepted any position that was offered in which you could render public service. The nomination of Mr. Ford makes^the issue sharp and clean. It is not primarily an issue between the Republican party and the Democratic party, for Mr. Ford does not seem to have any firm political convictions, and was content to take the nomination on any ticket without regard to what the general principles of the men supporting that ticket were; and his memory about past politics is so hazy that although he has mentioned a Republican candidate fefr president for whom he thinks he once voted, it does not appear that this is possible, unless he is in error as to his own age. A . ~ The issue is infinitely more important than any merely political issue. It is the issue of straightAmericanism, of straight patriotism, and of preparedness for the tasks of peace and war, as against a particularly foolish and obnoxious type of pacifism/ preached in peace and practiced in war. This is the first time in the history of our country in which a candidate for high office has been nominated who has spent enormous sums of monqr in de­ moralizing the people of the United States on a matter of vital interest tc their honor and welfare. The expenditures on behalf of pacifism by Mr. Ford in connection with thePeace Ship, and in connection with his great advertising campaign in favor of the McLemore resolution and of the pacifist and pro-German attitude against our participation in the war, was as thoroughly demoraliz­ ing to the conscience of the American people as anything that has ever taken place. Th© failure of Mr. Ford’s son to go intp the army at this time, and the approval by the father of the son’s refusal, represent exactly what might be expected from the moral disintegration inevitably produced by such pacifist propaganda. Mr. Ford’s son is the son of a man of enormous wealth. If he went to war he would leave his wife and dyld immeasurably dis­ tant from all chance of even the slightest financial strain pr trouble, and his absence would not in the smallest degree affect the efficiency of the business with which he is connected. But the son stays at home, protesting and appealing when he is drafted, and now escaping ^service. Your two sons have eagerly gone to the front. They stand ready to pay with their lives for the honor and the interest of the American people, and while they thus serve America with fine indifference to all personal cost, the son of wealthy Mr. Ford sits'at home in ignoble safety, and his father defends and advises such conduct. It would be a grave misfortune to the country to have Mr. Ford in the Senate when any question of continuing the war or discussing terms of peace may arise, and it would be an equally grave misfortune to have in any way deal With the problems of reconstruction in this country. Michigan is facing the test, clear-cut and without shadow of a chance for misunderstanding, between patriotism and American­ ism on one side, and on the other pacifism, and that foolish sham­ cosmopolitanism which thinks itjclever;to dpride the American flag, and to proclaim that it would as soon be a Hindoo or China­ man as’an American. If there should be at any time in the future a Hindoo Senate, and it should choose, in a spirit of cosmopolitanism, to admit outsiders, there is no reason why Mi1. Ford should not aspire to membership therein; but he would be signally out of place in the American Senate so long as that body is dominated by men who zealously believe in the American ideal and faithfully endeavor to serve the American people. Wishing you all success, I am Very faithfully yours, • From William H. Taft 931 Southern Building, Washington, D. C., October 19,1918. Aly dear Commander Newberry I write to congratulate you on being the Republican candidate for Senator in the State of Michigan. ' I sincerely hope that you will be elected, and I am very certain that if you arc, you will ren­ der to the State and to the country a valuable service in your high office. I feel that I can say this from personal observation ofthe way in which you discharged your official duties both while you were Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and while you were in the same Cabinet with me under President Roosevelt. It is of the highest importance that in the settlement of the important ques­ tions growing out of this war, we should have men in the senate of your experience in governmental matters, and of your political views. The Democratic majority in Congress has not been one upon which the President or the country could depend for the adoption of measures adequate to the winning of the war. The people of the United States can be much more confident, if we have a Republican majority in both Houses, that the legislative branch of the Government will wisely cooperate with the Execu tiv.e Admin­ istration, and by constructive criticism make that Administra­ tion more effective than if Democratic majorities in both Houses are retained. With Mr. Ford’s known pacifist views, carried to an extreme, indeed, with his nondescript political affiliations,'and with his engaging in this canvass simply at the instance of the President, the people of Michigan are placed in a dilemma in respect to how he will represent them. He will either go into the Democratic caucus and follow implicitly the wish of the President,, who induced him to run, or no one can, know what he will do, not even Mr. Ford, in contingencies that are likely to arise. If you are elected, the people of Michigan will know that you will act with the loyal Republicans and that you will back the President to the utmost when he is seeking Congressional assistance for the win­ ning of the war, and that you will be independent and courageous in pointing out the mistakes of administration; with a view to their remedy. 1 earnestly hope that the electors of Michigan will choose you.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES For Election Tuesday, November 5th, 1918 Put a cross, x, in the circle, o, right under Abe Lincoln’s picture bn your ballot, and MAKE SURE of YOUR VOTE Choose the party whose War Rec­ ord has been 100 per cent American Choose the party of Lincoln, Grant, McKinley and Roosevelt 1CKE On Tuesday, Nov. 5th, there will be elected a United States Senator from Michigan; the entire State Ticket f rom Governor down; State Senator; Representative in the State Legislature, and the County Officers for Barry County. EVERY VOTER can therefore see that this is a most important election, and should exercise his privi­ lege, and his duty as an American Citizen, and go to the polls and VOTE. The Republicans of Barry County have placed a ticket in the field, as the result of the Primaries held in August, worthy of the support of voters of this County. ALL of the Candidates are LOYAL, TRUE-BLUE Americans, qualified in EVERY WAY to fill the offices for which they have been nominated. Several of them have served their FIRST TERMS in a way that reflects great credit upon them, and are ENTITLED TO A SECOND TERM by reason of their excellent service. Those who are candi­ dates for their first terms are well known and well qualified in the City of Marshall, Calhoun County, Michigan, coming to Bar­ ry County when only three' or four years old with his parents, and has since resided hfire. He is a loyal, true-blue American, first, last and all the time. For a number of years he has ably editied the Woodland News, and for seven years represented Woodland Township on the Board of Supervisors, his toWns­ . men always recognizing his abil­ ity, industry, and thoroughness with which he performs every­ thing entrusted to him. Two years ago he was elected County Clerk, nnd po official in the history of - Barry County has ever given more, or better, service in the con­ duct of official business. He was unanimously renominated at the August Primary for his second term, and is worthy of the sup­ port of every loyal Republican. HOMER MARSHALL, Republican Candidate for Sheriff, for First Term. Homer Marshall, the Republi<yin Candidate for Sheriff, was horn in .Barry Township, where he now resides. He is a wellknown farmer of that township. HoW he standTin nis owH home township, where he was born and grew to manhood, is perhaps best expressed by the fact that for the past 11 years in succession he has represented his township on the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Mar­ shall is a careful, painstaking man, capable and honest, and will aim to give a good, efficient, economical administration of the office if elected. CHARLES F. GROZ1NGER, Republican Candidate for County Clerk, Second Term. Charles F.-Grozinger was bom JOSEPH L. CAMPBELL, Republican Candidate for County Treasurer, First Term. "Joe" Campbell, as he is famil­ iarly known, was bom in Hope Township, and has always lived there. He is not only a good farm­ er but a mighty good fellow, cap­ able, and honest. The people of Hope Township know it too; that’s why they elected him on seven different occasions to rep­ resent them/on the Board of Sup­ ervisors. Mr. Campbell was nom­ sioner. He has attended to the duties of the office in first class shape, is thoroughly familiar with all details. He was renom­ inated at the August Primaries, and will appreciate the support of the voters of the county. inated at the August Primaries for the office of County Treasur­ er. He is amply qualified to per­ form the duties of the office, and will, if elected, bring to the office the same ability and good* judg­ ment that have characterized his life in every position he has been asked to fill. JOHN M. GOULD, Republican Candidate for Prose­ cuting Attorney, First Term. John M. Gould, Republican candidate for Prosecuting Attor­ ney, was bom in Moline, III., com­ ing to Barry County in 1884 when 5 years old, the family Ibcating in Carlton township. He gradu­ ated from the Law Department of the University of Michigah in 1902, spent the next 6 years as a commercial salesman, and in 1908 settled in Grand Ledge for the practice of liw. He practiced there for four years, serving as Circuit Court Commissioner. In 1902 he located here, has served as Justice of the Peace, and as City Attorney, where he now lerves. He has had 10 years of practice, feels qualified in every way, and will appreciate the sup­ port of the voters and friends around the county. He will aim to give an economical adminis­ tration, if elected, a/id to see that justice is meted out rather than to see how many convictions can be made. EDWARD A. PARKER, Republican Candidate for Regis­ ter of Deeds, Second Term. Edvvard A. Parker was bom in Johnstown Township, but for about,20 years previous to his election as Register two years ag'm had Keen a resident of Prai­ rieville Township, where he was engaged in farming. Mr. Parker hits made one of the most compe­ tent Registers thnt Barry County has ever had, and has given the office his close personal attention. Whenever people have had bus­ iness tb do with the Register's of­ fice they have not only found Mr. Parker “Johnny on the spot," but haye likewise received very prompt, courteous attention. His re-election to a second term is but deserved recognition of a compe­ tent, capable official. DAVID S. ENGLAND, For County Drain Commissioner. Within the past few years many hundreds of acres of swamp lands - have been reclaimed in Barry County by the construction of County Drains, and many more hundreds of acres only await the coming of the dredge. Many of these reclaimed acres in time will be the very best in the County. The County Drain work of late had been in the hands of David S. England,'of Woodland, 'the present County.

Fresh Home-Made Bread With Real Butter Sounds good, doesn’t it? \ Somehow tlie very mention of fresh home-made bread bountifully spread with rich golden butter touches a tender chord. Lily White 'The Flour the Best Cooks Use' It ia necessary now, more than ever before, to use good flour, as 25‘.c of the amount of flour is to be used in substitutes, or on the basis of four pounds of pure wheat flour, such as LILY WHITE FLOUR is, to one pound of substitutes. , Besides, it is mighty’convenient to have a flour in the house from which tlwroughly delicious biscuits, rolls and pastries, as well as the best of bread, can be made. These results are made possible by the blending of various kinds of wheat which incorporates in the Hour the desirable qualities of both the hard and soft wheats. Also bear in mind that LILY WHITE FLOUR is sold under the guar­ antee to give perfect satisfaation. • Mr*.

Andrus Addressed a Large Insurance Meeting in Chicago Yesterday. W. E. Hale. president, and Mile* F. Andrus, secretary of thr Miehigau Mu tual Tornado, Cyrlopr and Windstorm | Insurance Co. are in Chicago thia weeh| cient. Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only onefourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission op this profit with the profit on coal, and ir has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of. $5.00 a ton. The comparison does not point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. To carry tlie comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 3>/2 per cent of the $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only 1^4 per cent of the $400.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either cbm, but has less effect on the price of beef than on the price of coaL , Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it ia highly perishable and must be refrigerated. Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef ia deliv­ ered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal la handled in open cars; beef mutt be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Universal THIS IS OUR WILLARD SERVICE CAR. CORNM COURT AND CHURCH PHONE 2121.

A CHILD GETS CROSS 06358701 WHEN CONSTIPATED Thanksgiving Day and All Other Days Call real MinceRes NONESUCH MINCEMEAT InAntheWrriaNo.Re Like Mince Call Their Bluff The very first time you hear any one say “Michigan Flour is all right for pastry but it won't bake good bread" just tell them to guess again. Any one making so silly a statement is either bluffing or betraying a lot of ignorance. Cal.1 their bluff—quick! We have been making flour for more than thirty-five years and dur­ ing that time have tested practically every variety of wheat grown ip the United States. It is our business to know what Ijihd of wheat makes good flour and what kind doesn't. Furthermore we do know. We use a blend of the best Michigan and Western wheats in the manufacture of Lily White The Hour the best cooks use because we have found that a blend of hard and soft wheats makes a better flour for home use than either a straight soft winter or hard spring wheat. . ■ In other words, we obtain the best qualities of each variety of wheat by blending, and separate the undesirable Qualities and impurities during the milling process. Thousands upon thousands of the best cooks in the land are daily baking the most delicious bread, from Lily White. These cooks know why they are using Lily White Flour. No one need attempt to tell them. The splendid results they have obtained, and are obtaining from its Use, is convincing enough. As Lily White Flour is a phre 100<~; wheat flour substitutes must be purchased and used with it. Satisfactory, results are positively guaranteed.

The average hen lays 100 eggs in a season. Feed that hen Nux Vomica and Quassia with proper grains and you can increase the amount to 200 eggs.

DON’T THINK THAT TRANSPORTATION WILL BE NORMAL AT ONCE, AGAIN— / transporting government supplies, raw materials and essentials for a long time DON’T THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL STOP WORK ON GREAT CONTRACTS FOR ARM­ AMENT— • - ’ Plans for the Navy alone are not ono-third complete, we understand, war or no wax. and these are only part of the government’s defense plana DON’T THINK THAT PEACE WILL AT ONCE STOP THE MARCH OF RISING PRICES— Many factoriea will never produce goods for civilians, many others will not produce such goods for some time to come, none will be able to make their products at lower prices until they can buy th* raw materials for leas and the.r present other costs diminish. This won’t happen until there’s far more material than now to draw upon, and until there are enough men released from military nervlco to run th* mills with their former speed aud output. DON’T THINK THAT THERE WILL BE MORE GOODS FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE IMMEDIATE­ LY— There is likely to be less before there is more. First, for the rea­ son above, and second, because tn this store uow, for instance, are ter qualities in many Instances than are being produced today. Much of this merchandise could not be duplicated today at any price, because the kinds and qualities are simply not being manufactured now. Much of this mer­ chandise, if replaced, would now cost much mor* than it did. Consequently, at this store you need not pay prices based on th* present higher costa, but you may. while present stocks last, continue to pay prices figured on the fonnar lower costa. Bo you see even when peace is absolutely certain, peace conditions for us will impose many duties no less than those of war. May we never be guilty of the error of rash hopes or the abandonment of self-restraint. May we never Jump at cor clarions—but continue to bo earnest and of sound, good Judgment that the great wonder of peace may spread its Joys and it* blessings throughout thia land of ours gradually, naturally, wisely, as it should, without intemiption.

An International Service Built on Tiny Profits Per Pound • Some industries have been able to get in step with ‘war demands more quickly than others. In many cases mighty plants have sprung up—but at a prodigious cost The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard of demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etd., had been gradually developed to its present state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international system for And how had thia development taken place? Not by making vast inroads into the capi­ tal wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to provide for expansion. Swift ft Company’s profits have always been bo . r . «..£ is hadpractictting to only ally no effect on the price of mi a fraction at a cant per pound). And yat tha owners of the business have been content with reasonable returns on their capital, and have been able, year after year, to put port dY the profits back into tha business to provide for‘its expansion. .< These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to to the public many fold in the form of better service, and better and cheaper meat, and made it possible for Swift ft Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden cry for meat tor overseas. Could any other method of financing a vital industry involve less hardship to the people of the country? Could there be a better instance of true “profit-sharing- than this return in added usefulness and in national preparedness ? Swift & Company, U. S. A.

N. 8., the chief British mil­ itary »nd nayal station In America, Is one of the moat strongly fprtifled In tho world. The citadel, its chief fortreaa, pronounced by engineers tho most formidable In America, occupies n com­ manding emlnenc^ivcrlooklng lhe city and harbor. Tbe citadel was begun about 171®. under the supervision of the duke of Kent, father of Qneen Vic­ toria. nnd was completed In 1814. At the time tbe fortification wan begun the duke was governor of Noun Sco­ tia and commander in chief of tho British forces In America. The cltafather. George III. king of Great Brit­ ain. The dnke of Kent left other remindera of his residence In Halifax, among them the quaint old clock tower and clock at the foot of Garrison hill and opposite to the main entrance of Fort George. The clock In the tower, which was brought from England, and la still keeping excellent time, was tbe gift •f George III. . Though quaint and somewhat crude tn appearance. and suffering by contrast with (he more modern structures In Ita vicinity, the old tower and clock are still cherished with pride by tbe cltlsens of Halifax as a reminder of the residence among them of one who would himself have been king of Eng­ land had he lived long edough.

Profanity Is only nn expression of the stnte of mind. Of course, there la some dif­ ference In the character and form of the expression; hut they all mean tho same thing. We apeak of this because the world notes the mental attitude and regards'It the snmc ns profanity, and Imputes this fault to tbe man who wears n growl, remarks Ublo. State Journa). And so n, religious man who looks mad and growls depreciates his relation as a member of a church and reflects ujwn the churclu too.

THE BARGAIN —AND IT S WELL WORTH YOUR WHlLEI Through special arrangements with the manufacturers, and during these Bargain Weeks only, a beautiful, useful-, and substantial set of Cooking Ware will be given with every Majestic Range sold. This ware is-good ware (not - cheap ware)—it's worth a lot to you. Come and see for yourself. ' Ho* it feels to be wounded aud From your son, Pvt. Chai. W. VsutDeaburg. Base'Hosptsl No. 114,' The first cost is not the only cost—the little additional first cost of a Majestic is nothing compared with its economy of fuel, durability and. satisfactory sendee. Nearly a million Majestic Ranges, now economically, scientifically and-satisfactorily serving millions and mil­ lions of people., civilians and soldiers, is proof positive of their superiority over all others. There is only one best. LThe public has judged. The Majestic is recognized as the standard of all ranges. The construction, material, workmanship and beauty of this wonderful range are unequalled, and it embodies important features possessed byjio other rqnge. TWO NEW AND IMPORTANT FEATURES The Wonderful Unseen Riveting Oh, Joy! Top Needs No Blacking Yes, it’s rivet-tight, just like the old Majestic, but the rivets clinch inside of nickeled pnrta, leaving nickel smooth as glass, and there are no big, bulky bolt-heads on the inside. And, remembet; rivets hold.tight; bolts with only one’or two threads holding 4'r« bound to -work lo^se and cause no end of trouble. The Mafertie is wmootfc inside and •auialde—Ji's a striking beauty—more than skin deep. A smooth, highly poliahell cooking top. burnished blue, not only adds to the beauty of the Majestic, but'absolutely eliminates the work, dirt and worry of trying to keep the range looking nice—-just an occasionalthin coat of paraHine retaihs its beautiful velvet blue Cdlor. ' ' ' If you haven't a MAJESTIC, avail yourself of this opportunity to get acquainted with this wonderful range—know the inside of ranges. [Hilary line Goodyear Bros. Hardware Co.

In order to help make our First Peace Christmas the greatest in the history of all the world, we made extra special efforts to place before yqu best selections of appropriate, useful gifts ever shown in Hastings. Articles that will enable you to express your friendship to any one in a sincere manner. Our list each week tells you of a few articles, but visit the store, there are many others. Just a few suggestions may help you plan a Gift: How about a nice set of dishes, or a water set, casserole, aluminum kettle or percolator, fancy trays, lamps, thermos bottles, lunch kits with thermos bottles, pictures both large and small, toys, dolls, doll cabs, .doll beds, play dishes, kiddy-cars, rocking horses, hand sleighs, games, books and so forth. ' | May we remind you that it will add to your comfort and convenience in mak­ ing selections if you will shop early in the", month-r-in the week—and in the day. at th? , k I dig thi i- bnilJitig. minute ventilutin’g system and ha* about thirty feet of earth pnd neks on lop of iHtHlf M'hon you mjc the dugout* (this dugout'that I just told you about will shelter a whole • regiment) th* miny.1 AiMf njil^qt‘ttenchei nml l.arbcrl njtb. cntanglepicuti*. a fellin'- •annul he.qi'but tron'Ier if there hns been nfiy lighting here, but u glance abc'Ut at fighting and very severe fight, a fXilla-. from N.

FREEZING WEATHER Brings to Mind the Need of Winter Care of Batteries Have you arranged to have your Batteries cared for? THE AVERAGE LIFE OF A STORAGE BATTERY IS ABOUT TWO YEARS. IF YOUR BATTERIES ARE ALLOWED TO RE­ MAIN AS THEY ARE THEY WILL CONT1N UE TO WEAR OUT JUST THE SAME DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AS THROUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN YOU ARE USING YOUR CAR EVERY DAY. THIS IS WHERE OUR WILLARD BATTERY SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN BE OF VALUE TO YOU AND MAKE MONEY FOR YOU BY SAVING YOUR STORAGE BATTER1ES. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE CARE FOR ANY MAKE OF BATTERY. Dry Storage Wet Storage In dry storage we take your battery all apart, throwing away the old in­ sulators and solution, and place all the parts in dry storage so that all chemi­ cal action on the. plates stops at once, and the separate parts are all cleaned by an expert battery man and kept in perfect condition until such a time as you ^vish to again use your battery. Then the parts are again assembled, using new insulators and solution, and the battery is ready for your use and works like new, prolonging the life of .the battery by several months. . We do not want the impression to go out that we do not handle wet stor­ age. if any car driver wants wet storage We give just as careful attention to wet storage as we do any other department of our battery service. In wet storage your battery is cleaned and carefully gone over, any defective points being taken care of, and the battery kept up in proper condition so that there will be just as little depreciation in value as is possible. This is our special line of work, and we are better equipped for handling this than any other garage in Barry County. “No automobile owner can afford to neglect having the storage batteries, of his car taken care of during the winter months, and we can do this to the complete satisfaction of the owner/’ ’ . । “Don’t take anybody's hearsay about our service or prices. Come and see us. If we can’t convince you that we know, then we don’t want your battery business. It costs you nothing to hear what we have to say.” CARL W. WESPINTER, BatUry Export.

CASH PAID BUTTER AND EGGS The Power Of Cash People* Shoe Store We Have Prepared Many Holiday gains for You at This Store! PAY US A VISIT AND SEE Here is one FACT that no one should lose sight of, and that is:— “ANY'PERSON WHO PUTS HIS, OR HER, CHRISTMAS MONEY INTO. GOOD FURNITURE FOR THE HOME, IS SPENDING THAT MONEY IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY?’ Anything that makes Hrime more cheerful, more attractive, is BOUND to exert its good influence upon EVERY MEMBER of that household. We only have “one life to live." We have only one su­ preme opportunity to help influence the lives of our children in the BEST v/av—and that’s IN THE HOME and HOME SURROUND­ INGS. ‘ x - There are very, very few homes that have so much GOOD Furniture, that a pice, new piece would not be appreciated. And where there is this NEED of new furniture in the home, what more sensible decision could be made than to use at least a share of the Christ­ mas fund and buy it, so that EVERY MEMBER of the home can enjoy it? We don’t begin to have room enough in this advertisement to describe the many lines we carry, so we’ll not attempt it. But this we DO KNOW—and that is that there isn’t a store in Barry County where the Goods, the Prices, and Courtesies extended are more satisfactory than at this store. We’ve been building up the "Good Will" of the people for years, and are just as anxious as ever to gain new friends and new customers, and to hold our old ones by fair dealings and fair prices. Aside from all kinds of Furniture, we carry Rugs, Carpets, Silver, Cutlery, and a thousand-and-one other things that would make desir­ able, useful Christmas Gifts, Yes, and Don’t Forget Our Phonograph Dept Nothing brings more pleasure to a home than.a good Phonograph. It brings the world’s greatest singers, orators, bands, orchestras ana mu­ sicians right into your home, with every note, word or measure faithfully reproduced. • It is one of the most marvelous inventions of the age. Come in and let us demonstrate our Phonographs for you. Look around our store.

A’*menace of militarism, the horrors of war and the ",... toll << death taken in all frightful accidents is as nothing oompared to the danger of unseen deadly germs. Even in war itself the toll of human life taken out­ right by the whizzing bullet, the bursting shrapnel, or the piercing steel is less than that caused by the unseen deadly gtoms that attack the wounded and the well alike. Homan life will be lengthened and human happiness hwraased when we learn better to guard ouraelves Powdered boric is one of Nature’s most wonderful off tbe danier of infection. Owing to it> wonderful antiseptic properties it can­ not be too highly recommended for liberal use in tho care of the person wherever and whenever exposed to the germs of disease. . - Pure powdered boric may be used with absolute freedom and safety in all the natural cavities of the body. To realize bow healing it is, vet bow safe, we have but to recall that the physician almost always pre­ scribes it as the principal ingredient of an eye yvatcr. The manufacture of powdered boric has been brought to such a high degree of efficiency by one con­ cern that if we always remember to specify “20 Mule Team Powdered Boric” wo know that we have the real article in full strength. ___ On every package of 20 Mule Teem Powdered , Boric will be found directions for its multitude of uses and the expense is so little that oo one should ever be without it. A solution of 20 Mule Team Powdered Boric in water makes an absolute and positive antiseptic for all per­ sonal use. It is excellent for a shampoo, for it kills the fferm which makes the dandruff that spoils the lustre of the hair and causes it to fall put sod oesse to grow. / It should be used as a mouth wash on account of its antiseptic qualities whenever there is the High test dan­ ger of having been exposed by being brought in contact R.

PAY US A VISIT AND SEE Here is one FACT that no one should lose sight of, and that is:— "ANY PERSON WHO PUTS HIS, OR HER, CHRISTMAS MONEY INTO GOOD FURNITURE FOR THE HOME. IS SPENDING THAT MONEY IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY." Anything that makes Home more cheerful, more attractive, is BOUND to exert its good influence upon EVERY MEMBER of that household. We only have "one life to live." ' We have only one su­ preme opportunity to help influence the lives of our children in the BEST way—and that’s IN THE HOME and HOME SURROUND­ INGS. * \ There are very, very few homes that have so much GOOD Furniture, that a nice, new piece would not be appreciated. And where there is this NEED of new furniture in the home, what more sensible decision could be made than to use at least a share of the Christ­ mas fund and buy it, so that EVERY MEMBER of the home can enjoy it? ' We don’t begin to have room enough in this advertisement to describe the many lines we carry, so we’ll not attempt it. But this we DO KNOW—and that-is that there isn’t a store in Barry County whfcre the Goods, the Prices, and Courtesies extended are more satisfactory than at this store. We’ve been building up the “Good Will" of the people for years, and are just as anxious as ever to gain new friends and new customers, and to hold our old ones by fair dealings and fair prices. Aside from alt kinds of Furniture, we carry Rugs, Carpets, Silver, . Cutlery, and a thousand-and-one other things that would make desirable, useful Christmas Gifts.

L Dodge Brothers refrained, during the progress of the war, from any reference to the performance of the car in Government service.

Dodge Brothers car was the only one of its class approved and adopted by the War Department In a separate Ordnance Works, built especially for the purpose, .costing millions of dollars and employing thousands of their skilled motor workmen, Dodge Brothers undertook an important duty designated by the War Department. Without the aid of their great motor organization, Dodge Brothers could not have fulfilled the heavy obligation which they were asked to assume by the Ordnance Department. The other service required of Dodge Brothers motor works, by the Government, was to continue They were furnished, not in hundreds, but in thousands—both for the training camps here, and for service in Belgium, France and Italy.

This Advertisement Will Be Of Special Interest To'Every Farm er Feeding Stock We have TWO CARLOADS of CORN and ONE CARLOAD of COT­ TON-SEED MEAL that should arrive by the time this issue of the BAN­ NER reaches its readers. When Farmers buy of us, and load into their wagons DIRECT FROM THE CAR, we are always glad to "divide the profits," and make a’ special LOW‘PRICE. We will do this with these Two Carloads of Corn and the Car of Cotton-Seed Meal. As stated above we are not sure just when this Corn and Cotton-Seed Meal will arrive. So it will be well for all Stock Feeders, who want to buy at a considerable REDUCTION IN PRICE, to get in touch with our office by phone or otherwise, so that they can buy at a considerable saving by get­ ting these feeds direct from the car. • This is a special concession that we are pleased to give, and we consider it a part of the SERVICE that we are able to occasionally render our pa­ trons through our policy of buying in large quantities. motion by Hhultcrs, supported by Cliaso, waa laid on the* table until the next regular meeting.

Ivory Specials County News The Fanner Receives More Thao Five Thousand Dollars a Minute From Swift & Company This amount is paid to the farmer for live stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the trading hours of every business day. AU this money is paid to the farmer through the open rparicet in competition with large and small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers. . The fanner, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, • nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has just sold is weighed up. -■ Some of the money paid to the farmer dur­ ing a single day comes back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But the next day Swift<& Company, to meet the demands made by its customers, mu$t pay out another $2,000,000 or so. and at the present high price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on the way to market and in bills owed to the company. This gives an tdea/of the volume of the Swift & Company business and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products at the lowest poeaible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in all parts of the country — and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound—a profit too small to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.

In this way the efficiency of the motor is greatly increased. • □ Radiator: The radiator is of tubular type. Extra large hand hole makes possible easy cleaning, and any repairing caused by accident. Q Oiling: Forced feed oiling, to all bearings. This method of oiling will be found in the highest-priced motors built. Forced feed costs more than ’ ; ' splash feed but is surer and safer Our underpan construction insures constant oil level—up hill or down. Q Fuel: Bums kerosene or gasoline without any change or adjustment. ‘ Fuel tank holds 22 gallons; with extra large hand hole, enabling one to f ■ ' \ clean the tank easily.

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.
