That Wears So Well Republic Trucks The Republic Factory Builds 24,000 Trucks per Year Thi^ 1 Illa la Rpfienn'. most severe every-day tests have proved the success of the Republic, and made lilt! l\CUaUfl»““them stable, and this stability has resulted in successful performance. What the Internal Gear Drive Means to You Road Clearance: Republic Internal Gear Drive Axles (manufactured by the Torbensen Axle Company) give 1>4 inches to 3 inches more clearance than any other shaft drive axle. This means the truck axle will not drag in snow or mud, and min• imizes stalling in bad going. The housing is mt so apt to strike a rock or other ob­ struction in a bud road and be broken or knot ked out of alignment. This means free­ dom from repairs, saving of time, eliminate n of annoying delays and insurance against loss of service. Less Unsprung Weight: This means weight that rests pn tires without resting on springs in any way. Springs cushion weight above them, thus taking most of the shocks that the tires receive. This means longer life to tires, economy of upkeep. Power Applied Near Rim: If you were to turn a wheel, Where would you grasp it? At the hub or out near the rim? Near the rim, of ctjurse'; because the leverage you get on the wheel is greateri'at that point. The same principle applies to the internal gear/orm of drive. It means power applied where it will do the greatest amount of work with the greatest ease; economy of gicoline. Efficiency at All Speeds: The Republic Internal Gear Drive transmits the greatest percentage of tho power that the motor develops, right where it is needed—to the drive wheels. This means more mileage; more work on less fuel. It is more efficient at all epeedu than any other form of shaft drive. Load Carried on Dead Axle: This leaves the internal gear driving axle nothing to do Irut to propel the truck. Look well into thii one feature, and be certain that the truck you btl.k carries its load on a dead axle. The Republic internal gear drive axle means Trailers May Be Used: With the Republic Internal Gear Drive, trailers may be used up to a point where the motor is stalled without injuring the axle. The use of trailers means doubling the capacity of your truck with but a small additional investment: No Expert Mechanics Needed: S6 simple is the Republic ‘Internal Gear DriVe that, should any accident happen to it’, any garage man of average intelligence can repair it. This means less expense for repairs in favor of the Republic Internal Gear Drive. Overcomes Road Shock ahd Side Sway: Four-fifths of the whole truck load hammers the rear axle every foot of the way. Every road shock—every side sway—multiplies this enormous weight—tries the rear axle to the limit. Pleasure car rear axles can hot—veil! not—stand the strain. Republi: Internal Gear Drive Rear Axle has strength to spare—A GREAT BIG SAFETY FACTOR is its heavy I-Beam Dead Axle which varriea ALL the load, takes egre of the side sway, road shock and the ham­ mer of the truck loud. The driving ‘ axle ’* ’has nothing ' ’to do but drive the truck. WE WANT YOU TO REMEMBER WE HAVE THE AGENCY FOR THIS WONDERFUL TRUCK.

Finder plea»e lean It wasn’t easy to do business in 1918. The scarcity of goods, the difficulty of getting juat what out* store needs required, and constantly advancing prices, made it very trying. With the end of the world war, conditions v. ill gradually approach normal in the clothing and furnishing business, and our store service to our patrons will continually improve.. It has been the fixed policy of this store to make such connections with the best makers of men's wearables that discriminating buyers would find that they could do better by buying here. Our steadily increasing trade is proof of the wisdom of our policy. It is our fixed purpose to njake this store of larger service to our patrons during 19ip. Right goodswit right prices and courteous treatment will be our plan for thia storeys service. And v.'o expect to be satisfied when the year closes.

To thousands upon thousands of people the word “Thrift" has a new. meaning. As a people, we used to be a nation of "spendthrifts,” but the War has taught • us that there are many, many things that we can get along without just as well, and be, just as happy and just as comfortable. . 1 ' ’ The new year of 1919 has just been ushered in. Why not profit by the lessons of the War, and resolve to make it the “starter” for a successful career? You can only do this by systematically SAVING a portion of your earnings. Put your Savings week by week in our Savings Department where they will work for you day and night. ' 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 be easy at first, for with your money in this Bank, instead of in your pockets, the many LITTLE expenditures will cease —if you make your Bank Account profitable to you; But after you have gotten into" the habit of coming regularly to this Bank, your Savings, together with the three per cent interest they earn will show RESULTS that cannot fail to please you. And in making your first deposit, don’t wait until you have accumulated quite a .sum. One Dollar or more will do as a starter. The rest will come more easily than the first hun­ dred, and there is nothing under the sun thaf will establish you on a basis of credit so quickly as a good Bank Account. what they did with them but guess 1 French fry. are simply. fine.

E Every Home Needs a Hoofcier Every woman should make this 191(1 reso­ lution: That it work-reducing and time-sav­ ing Hoosier must be added to her home equip­ ment; that she will no longer countenance the drudgery of kitchen work without it.

It ia also good new* to the particular housewife to know she may again obtain the good old-fashioned, high quality Lily White “ Tht flour the best cooks use for no better flour has ever been made or sold than LILY WHITE No flour has ever given the housewife better satisfaction for either bread or pastry baking than LILY WHITE. There haYe been mighty few flour* that even equalled it We are making LILY WHITE in the same old way, exercising just a* much care in the selection of grain, being just as particular to see that exactly the right blend of the different varieties of wheat is secured to produce the best flour it is possible to mill.

Friend*, in Hn*tirg* nnd Barty coun­ ty, nf Maj.'Homer G.'iru«hhurn, Major Let George Do It GEO. M. NEWTON, Your Jeweler | Hastings, Michigan. || ■ u« Maj. Wn.h- Hastings National Bank OUR BIG Why Not promotion. Some folks are getting rich, and apparently with ease. People sometimes look upon the prosperous ones with a sort of mysterious air, akin to wonderment, and inwardly in­ quire “How they do it.” Like many other so-called “great things” the acquiring of riches is VERY SIMPLE. It’s EASY and ANYBODY can do it. There are only TWO things'that are required. One of them is to "SPEND LESS THAN YOU EARN;” the other is to “invest” your Savings "SAFELY.” These are the two things necessary for you to succeed. ‘ But “spending less than you earn”—there’s the rub. It will mean the giving up of some pleasures you enjoy; it may mean doing without some things you’d like. There you are. It’s up to you to decide but it’s a certainty that no one can accumulate anything who spends more than he earns. But accumulating property is absolutely valueless unless the accumulations are well looked after and placed* safely. Here is where so many fail, too. They listen to some oilytongued stock salesman, who promises great returns on the investment, which has no value whatever. Your hard-earned money is gone. This Bank can be of great help to YOU, as it has to hundreds and hundreds of others. We pay you Three Per Cent Interest on your accumulations and compound your interest TWICE each year. We’ll safeguard your money until you wish to withdraw it, or find some place to invest it. Here’s where we can help you again. Looking after investments iaOUR BUSINESS. We aim to keep in touch with financial matters, and especially with gopd. sound, conservative investments. We will be pleased at any time to give you the benefit of our advice and experience in financial matters, and will be glad to advise with you aLany time in regard to investments. Our aim is.to be of genuine SERVICE to our patrons\and friends. But the FIRST thing is to begin to ACCUMULATE and make your Savings WORK FOR YOU. You can’t take advantage of “opportunities” until you have SAVED something to do it with. That’s self evident. Halting#, Michigan. Brief Description of His Visit to the Aj-gonne Forest and. .

You should make your money “hustle" for you. Money at work is a good silent partner. We'll start your account with as much, or as little as you like, and pay you interest M long as the account is left with us. Start NOW. The “Zoning” situation has so changed that we now have on hand; and expect to keep on hand, a supply of the famous "RED COMET COAL,” of which we have sold an enormous amount. This is the coal that you can "burn all winter and carry out the ashes in the spring." In other words it’s nearly PURE COAL. Here is an analysis of RED COMET COAL:— Volatile Matter.............................................. 36.38 Per Cent. Moisture ...................................................... I. J 6 Per Cent. Fixed Carbon................................................ 60.40 Per Cent. Ash.................................................................. 2.06 Per Cent. The Cold Weather hasn’t struck us very hard as yet—but it will come all right, don’t worry about that. Then 3 or 4 tons of Red Comet Coal IN YOUR BIN will be worth 6 or 8 in our yards. . , Right NOW is an ideal time to place your order for your Winter’s Re­ quirements. The ground is frozen hard enough so that your lawn will not be cut up. And when you have RED COMET COAL in your bin you can KNOW that you will spend a good comfortable winter as far as heat is con­ cerned.

It is being followed with the closest consideration to the essen* tials that make a better chicken yard. If you wish a healthy flock you must observe certain rules, viz.: Proper Housing Conditions Coops must be ventilated and clean Proper food Most important of all is a tonic at this time of year to keep the hehs laying. Hess Panacea will do it We guarantee to fill your egg basket if you will feed Hess PanaCSa and observe the above rules. It has been demonstrated to our satisfaction long ago. Without Hess Panacea you will get an average of 100 eggs a sea­ son from each hen. With Hess Panacea you will get an average of 200 eggs a season—100 per cent increase in the egg result. In short, Panacea gives the hen an appetite, makes her thrifty, so that what food she does eat helps to produce eggs. If you have a substantial sized chicken yard give the flock a chance. Prove to yourself what Dr. Hess Panacea can do for your hens. mca who fonasrly lived h*re: W. J.

To thousands upon thousands of people the word “Thrift" has a new meaning. As a people, we used to be a nation of "spendthrifts," but the War has taught us that there are many, many things that we can get along without just as well, and be just as Sappy and just as comfortable. The new year of 1919 has just been ushered in. Why not profit by the lessons of the War, and resolve to make it the "starter" for a successful career? You can only do this by systematically SAVING a portion of your earnings. Put your Savings week by week in our Savings Department where they will work for you day and 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 be easy at first, for with your money in this Bank, instead pf in your pockets, the many LITTLE expenditures will cease —if you make your Bank Account profitable to you. But after you have gotten into the habit of coming regularly to this Bank, your Savings, together with the three per cent interest they earn will show RESULTS that cannot fail to please you. And in making your first deposit, don’t wait until you have accumulated quite a sum. One Dollar or more will do as a starter. The rest will come more easily than the first hun­ dred, and there is nothing under the sun that will establish you on a basis of credit sb quickly as a good Bank Atcount. A great many have started Savings Accounts with us the past year. them? Do it, and keep at it, and you’ll be thankful as long as you live. Why not join Hastings City Bank “The Bank That Does Things for You” inite ' Michigan Oakland Sensible Six The Thrift Car Complete Satisfaction Cannot Be Bought For Less To pay less.is to risk the loss of efficiency, comfort, modernized improvements, beauty of design or longlived service. The absence of any of these essentials robs you of maximum value, usefulness and satisfaction.

The popularity of any Car can be quite accurately determined by the way PEOPLE BUY IT. If a Car doesn’t perform as satisfactorily as is claimed for it, that FACT will soon become generally1 known. In other words "you can’t fool all the people all the time." During the past year we have sold 70 OAKLAND CARS. People have BOUGHT them after they have tried out other makes of Cars. After driving them; after riding in them; after examining them CAREFULLY, they de­ cided that the OAKLAND is the BEST Car on the market for the money. YOU will arrive at .the same decision if you are interested in a Car, and will make a thorough investigation, which we like to have every buyer do. OAKLAND 1919 PRICE, $1075 Hastings Oakland Co.

Travel broadens a man’s vision. iL’gives him : a new outlook upon life. It keeps him from “GETTING IN A RUT." Many Barry County people have driven across the great piairij* slates of the West to the Rockies beyond. Many more have crossed the Great Divide to where the Pacific lashes its waters into a spray upon our Western shores. Others still have made pilgrimages to the great South and Suthwest. And did you eVer stop, to think that yon get MORE out of a trip by Auto than you do by rail. Rail ways invariably traverse the worst sections of any country, because it costs LESS to secure the right of way. The Auto goes through the. BEST, most prosp^OM, and niost populous sections, because there the highways are be‘t±_ With an Auto you’re your own "Bdlw." You can stop anywhere at any time and are riot under any Conductor’s control. You’re always in the fresh : air and not confined in any stuffy coach.

This view of the LIGHT FOUR shows that the same distinctive and beautifully har­ monious 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 eacriflced. In appearance and fact it stands in a class by itself. In thia new five-passenger LIGHT FOUR, Studebaker offers a car which has been de­ signed to fill a demand for a light-weight, high quality car which can be bought at a reasonable price, which is large and roomy enough to give comfort and convenience to five passengers, high grade in finish, equipment, and appearance, and adequately beautiful in lines to satisfy even the very dheriminating buyer. Therefore, the problem before the engineers in planning this car was 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 to the quality and appearance Of the car. The new Studebaker LIGHT FOUR is the re­ sult. It has been tested out in the experimental rooms, and 40,000 miles on the roads through the mountains of the United States and Canada, and finally on the Chicago speed­ way. Tests have been made in comparison with the best known four-cylinder cars on ihe market. The results of every tejt have proved tho power, opeed, endurance and gen­ eral mechanical excellence of this car. * ’ --------------------------------------------------------------------- r THE LIGHT SIX The lightness and speed of this car are indicated in the long, low lines. Note the blending of curves, the distinctively'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 similar to the BIG SIX, but the motor is a little smaller; the whole car is lighter. Its exterior appearance sug­ gests the car it is; a beautifully-designed, light-weight car with agility, speed, quick pickup, idea! 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; th j certainty of the starting mechantan; th4; rcspohsiue flexibility of the motor and th s remarkable eape with wMfcffth'c hftr>tecrfl and stays in the road—all these appeal instantly to the lover ofk fine motor car— you will find them all in the Stbdebaker LIGHT SIX. The riding qualities of this model are very "Eno. It will travel 65 or 60 miles an hour, mile after mile, without uncomfortable vibration or apparent effort. We wish to announce to any prospective auto purchaser that we feel sure they are making a mistake if they do not see us and investigate the merits and performance of the New Studebaker Cars^ Goodyear Bros. Hardware Company The Gold Standard of Values The New Reo Light Four Is a Handsome Car YOU'D THINK, PERHAPS, that at tha National automobile show, and cspe\cially in the world’s greatest metropolis, where dealers and buyer* go to see what is latest in construction and design, that the ponderous multi-cyl­ inder machines would attract the most attention. ON THE CONTRARY, there is vastly more interest shown ia the types of cars designed to supply that great American need for a practical, economical, five-passenger touring car or three* pacsenger roadster. THIS YEAR, more than ever before, buyers are paying less attention to fads and more to practical things. More to cost of upkeep than to first cost. AND THIS REO—this new Light Four— tands out above ail the rest IT IS SUCCESSOR to the greatest four-cylinder automobile aver built—that wandarfully efficient, wonderful|v sturdy Reo tho Fifth, that for eight years maintained its supremacy. THIS IS A REFINEMENT of that groat car, ALL FUNDAMENTALS have bora retained and every detail haa boon refined to the last degree.

The Republic Truck is known from coast to coast and from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mex­ ico, as well as in many parts of the world of Commerce and Industry as one of the most pow­ erful and efficient for any where near the money. It performs satisfactorily under all con­ ditions and circumstances by actual tests made , in actual work performed.

The Republic Truck—Internal Gear Drive Hastings Oakland Co ANDREW DOOLEY, Salesman. LEON COOL, Garage Manager. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN. STATE STREET—PHONE 2373 I . Down in the south part of Barry County, Leo Burton hauled on a Duplex Truck, 4500 feet of green lumber from the Hinchman sawmill job in Johnstown township, to Battle Creek, a distance of 9 or 10 miles. The Duplex hauled it with perfect ease. Such is the .capacity and ability of the Powerful Duplex Four-Wheel Drive.—Has the appearance of an athlete and is as powerful as a giant. The great secret of the Duplex lies in the fact that its pulling power is in all four wheels. Compare it if you will to a horse with two wooden legs pulling'against a horse with four good legs—you will thus have a good comparison of a rear-wheel drive truck with the great FourWheel Drive Duplex. Get the “Truck Habit" and save money-—either one of these trucks will easily pay for themselves in service rendered to any one who has heavy hauling or cartage to do.

It has been assailed by many kinds of com­ petition. The Super-Six has met every performance test. It proved its endurance in ways that no other car ever attempted. The Super-Six motor, first charged with being merely an advertising idea, then chal­ lenged as a mechanical failure, is now universally acknowledged as motordom’s undisputed leader. It made new automobile history. It made records for speed, hill-climbing and endurance that have not been matched by any other car of any type. There are 60,000 Hudson Super-Sixes now in service. The factory output has never equalled the demand for the Super-Six. It has never been possible for any dealer to get stocks ahead, let alone finding him­ self in a position where he must needs resort to unusual methods for quick liquidation.

Truth About The 1919 Change ■ The rumors about the many changes in Ford Cara this year relative to change of wheel base, size of tires, etc., are without foundation. There is no change in the Ford Touring Car or Roadster. ? The Sedan and Coupelet only are now equipped with the Liberty Blectric Starter. We will ihave both of these cars on display in our show room in a few days. Call and look them over and see the wonderful Liberty Built-in Starter that is being used on the 1919 Closed Model. Compare these cars with any other make on the market and see at once where you can save from $400 to $600. During the period of the World War there were thousands of people who desired and really needed a Ford, but who did not attempt to purchase one because1 they'felt it their pa­ triotic duty to refrain from buying what they could do wdthout. On “the other hand com­ paratively few Fords were made during the war. Now the war is over. The many who wanted Ford AutosJast ye^Vtte ready to buy now —and in addition there will be the usual and perhaps increased numbef oi calls for Fords dur­ ing 1919. You can readily see by these facts that there will be Can an Old Battery be Repaired? . That depends: —on how old it is —on how well you’ve taken care of it —on how soon you let the Willard expert locate the trouble and correct the fault. Nobody can repair a battery until he finds the trouble, and nobody can correct a big fault as easily as he can a little one.' If you suspect any little battery troubles you’d better drive around and let us find them. Ask for the booklet "A Mark with a Meaning for You.” A Tremendous Call For Fords Ip 1919 Owing to the lateness of the Ford factory getting under full production, and not allowing any agency to stock cars it is going to--be impossible tet make Spring -deliveries unless cars are purchased at once. • . ..

These twelve years have been years of pleasure. We look back over them and have . no regrets—unless it be that we would like to have beep of even greater service to our patrons and our fellow men. We have been busy during these twelve years, very busy. Wc began with nothing and during these years we have Sold and Placed Thousands and Thousands of Dollars Worth of Monumental Work mostly in Barry and adjoining counties. This is a remarkably business and it could have been accomplished only upon one basis of business principle —HONEST DEALING —SKILLED WORKMANSHIP —HIGH QUALITY —REASONABLE, PRICES. Another and most gratifying feature of our past twelve years experience in Hastings is that— Among Our Hundreds of Patrons, We Know of Not a Dissatisfied One Monuments we placed the first years of our work here stand today as FINE and BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT as the day they were placed—thus telling the story of quality and integrity, upon which we have tried to build. We are pleased to state with perfect truthfulness that no where in Michigan can one buy monumental work and do better in— Quality - Workmanship - Durability - Design Assortment - Price We will gladly refer you to any one of the many for whom we have done work during the past twelve years.

Thousands of dollars worth of seasonably merchandise have been placed on sale at prices far below their actual values. The reason we are making this sale only two days is, we wouldn’t have goods enough to keep going very long at these prices.

Orange Is Planning for the Future. On Friday, January 24th, Carlton Grange installed their officer*, MrBennett, of NoAville, being the in•tnltetion officer. A big feed preceded the installation after which a fin* program wa* ren­ dered, by the member* of the Grange. The County Agent wa* present and explained that tte-Farm Bureau would be glad to eo-operate with the Grange, and in turn asked them to organize to assist in tte eouaty program. Foilaw­ ing this the Grange decided that they would take up the project work and appointed a* chairman of the live stock committee, Mr. Glenn Perkin*; soil* committee, -Lawrtaeo Farrell; pure seed, Chas. F. Lawrence; home economic*, Mis* Audra Decker; farm accounts, Arnold Knowles. A great many demonstration* are al­ ready under way by member* of thi* Grnngc. especially,in the use of lini • nnd fertilizer, and good seed. Iu fact, tbe flrat thing oaq notice* on entering the dining hall ia an exhibition in sheaf of Silver Mine Gats, Red Rock Wheat and Rosea Rye grown on thfarm of F. J. Lawrence.

Variety is the spice of life but variety in flour means disaster both for the miller and the baker. Uniformity is all important. • . A certain standard must be decided upon and then lived up to day after day and month after month with only those improvements from time to time which can be maintained. This is French’s method. Unyielding determination to make every pound up to the same high standard has won the confidence of the dealers and the women of the country because they know they can depend on French’s Flour (White Lily) To produce the same results every tipie. This makes it certain that every o unce will serve a useful purpose • and none be wasted. , A ' The war taught us the value of food and the obligation that each one of us shares not to waste any. It is estimated that from two to five million people starve every year. If women are careful to buy French’s Flour continuously, they will realize a great economy in doing so and will help the world supply of food. ’ ’ French is tryipg to do his share by making his flour right.

This change in price of coffee is made neceaaary for the following ^reason: I had planned to have thh sale the latter part of October and the hills were printed to cover the prices at that date. On account of trans­ portation difficulties and shortage of coffee and some other lines it has been imffossible to get the merchandise for this sale until now. ■ Meanwhile the price of coffee has advanced so much that it is necessary to increase the sale price as above note<|.

Reese Veatch When In Need of Glasses ‘ r •1 1 —-------------------------------------------------------------------- —- ---------------------- -— Shortage of Victor Products Due to War Necessities Victor Talking Machine Company Devoted Nearly Entire Plant to War Manufacturing . A great many people in Hastings and Barry County have been disappointed during the past year because they could not obtain a Victrcla and Victor Records as they desired them. Belew we endeavor to give the reasons why:—•. Upon the entrance of the United States into the great world War, the Victor ddmp^ny -. immediately decided to do its utmost in making war materials. It voluntari]y,.offwed ’ tire plant whole-heartedly to the Government, regardless of the fact that its.regular produc­ tion would be seriously curtailed, regardless of the setback which would temporarily.iwuit. to the business it took years to build up, regard leas of the profits’ which wguld necessarily, be sacrificed. ■ ; ............ It would have been possible to hold off—,o keep right on with our regular work and let others do v.ar work. But the Victor Company is a thoroughly American concern," nnd it does things in the big characteristic American wa-. It chose tn help the Government.to the very ; limit of its resources. • The Government recognized the high stat nf perfection and thoroughly modern; equip­ ment of the gigantic Victor factories, and mad ? use of them until as much os fiO?, of the plant waiat one time engaged ip war work. If it wire possible to disclose Government secrets and tell of the scientific experiments which were conducted and of the devices and products which were manufactured,' the public would apprec ' ‘o what a valuable help the Victor plant wa: to tho Government in winning the war. -4 , Those parts of the Victor factories which continuvd to produce Victrolns and Victor Rec­ ord* could not, of course, supply even a reasonable amount ol/Victor products to the p’tibtlc. And the shortage, was mnde evun more prono un cd becauso thousands of Virtrplas and still more thousands of Victor Records were diverted to the use of America's fighting forces on land and aea—-to entertaining and inspiring them, a; well as to teaching them French and wlralww telegraphy through the Victor special study ciurses. \ •_ ' Ho, while the Victor Company was doing it’ - hare toward helping win the tVar, pur.folks nt home willingly went without Victrolas an i Victor Records. The factory’in agaii) turning to the making of these excellent machines and we hope it will not be long until \vc shall again be in position to supply evorj’ c<dl for Victrolas and Victor Records.

WITHOUT A SILO 24 Acres Feed 20 Steers 150 Days WITH A SILO 13 Acres Saved The U. S. Government, the State Agricultural Col­ leges, Dpef producers, leading dairymen and farmers everywhere say that every farmer needs his silo now more than ever before, and that he can make its cost by having it ready for next season’s crop. Save your graijito sell for human food—at a big price —and put up silage foft the stock. You can feed your live stock cheaper and better with silage than with dry fodder and grain. ' The Reason Why You Need a Silo The Silo' helps the farmer make the best possible use of frosted corn. Even immature corn can be saved by putting it in a silo. The Silo gives in most instances 30% to 40% more feeding value to a com crop than when it is fed as dry fodder. The Silo provides succulent feed in winter or summer which helps to keep the cows healtny and productive when green feeds are lacking and dairy prices are highest. The Silo gives insurance against short, drouth-stricken pastures. The Silo helps'in fattening stock for market. The Silo furnishes the cheapest form of winter feed. The Silo enables the farmer to feed his stock from less acres. The Silo makes possible more acres for grain crops. The Silo w|ll can com. oats, peas, pea-cannery refuse, soy beans, alfalfa (in wet seasons), cane, Kaffir com, milo maize and sugar beet tops. The Silo built this year, will be a permanent profit-maker. ortage of food for people and livestock exists throughout the world, and in many countries the situ­ ation approaches a real famine. The world is looking to America for food and will do *0 for years to come. GOODYE.AR BROS. HARDWARE. CO. .. HASTINGS BIGGEST HARDWARE HOUSE IN BARRY COUNTY.

It i“ one of the best of the loose door construction. Lansing doors are removable, each one being interchangeable. Acxoss the door is placed 2 i^-inch steel channel bars 28 >4 inches apart forming part of the ladder. The door openings are 20x26 inches in the clear. A tongue and groove at top and Ijoltom of each dtior permits the doors being joined and each door is interchangeable, any door fitting any place. A convenient handle for the do6r is formed by the steel ladder rung securely bolted midway between the channel bars, and in the mid­ dle of the door. This construction also gi\4«a you a substantial ladder, with each step in lirte, 14 inches apart. The ladder rung remains solidly bolted to the door, and cannot break or get oulpf place. The Lansing door is equipped with a steel hook and makes it possible to keep the doors in placed The Lansing Roof Made of extra heavy stock of good quality, dreaed on both sides'a nd matched with a slip tongue. The door* which can be located anywhere on the circle of the roof, is hinged and proves mighty convenient for the upper end of the blow-pipe in filling the sHo. The frama of the roof includes the circle plate which rests on the top of the staves, the cross beam which supports the center, and the center post and cap. __ If your silo is to be set out in the open it xVill require a roof and we offer you either the King-B Gambfel or Landing Wood Roofs, or any form of Galvanized Roofs, whichever you prefer.

Many of the big financiers today started with a savings account; some of them would tell you, if you talked with them, that they started a savings account with not more than a dollar. Today they guide the welfare of thousands of people. They saved and accumulated enough so that they were able to take advantage of busi­ ness propositions that reaped them a harvest. This was done not because they had friends to go to to borrow money to swing big deals with, but be­ cause they acquired the saving habit when they were young. .Today people are glad to entrust their money to them and seek their advice in important transactions.

The BANNER-has one of the bast equipped job offices in Western Michigaii and is prepared to do any kind of book and job printing. They had good bread abroad, of course, but not “like mother made.” It would be hard work to find a man, anywhere, who doesn’t like the smell of new made bread in the house. ' / It suggests many things. Legal Notice The smell of new made bread is associated wjth pleasant memoriee. It means something good to eat and testifies to the fact that someone is lovingly solicitous about his physical comfort. Let the bread be made of French’s Flour (White Lily) And its superb quality and delicious flavor will make his pleasure complete. French knows that the things which taste good are the things men best like to eat. Therefore he has perfected a process of milling that retains the full flavor of the wheat in the bread. | Effort spent by the housewife in ba king need not and should not be wasted on imperfect material. Good flour is always a profitable investment. French’s flour is good flour. - French's flour is always good flour. . Three mighty important facts. FOR SALE BY ALL BARRY COUNTY FLOUR DEALERS.

Hundreds of people are residing in almost every community who are not yet familiar with the advantages offered them by the banks in their home town. We believe this is true of Barry County. We believe there are many people in Hastings and Barry County who do not realize the advantages we are offering them by our maintaining and operating the strong, accommodating i nstitutibn which we do and that’s why we are telling about these two departments of our bank. Savings Commercial Department Department Young men, young women and others, we wish to urge you to start a Savings Account .with us now. Do not put oil any longer so important a matter as the beginning to save systemat­ ically—it is SO EASY to proerwtinnte in this matter—but time goes on. L ‘ ” • Every person who has bills to pay—(and who has hot?) should have a commercial checking account with us and should pay ail accounts by check. A few dollars left with us will begin earning you something at once and by adding a few’ dollars now and then yop wHI very soon have a neat sum of money accumulated for some future use or for the expected rainy day which is sure to come. Many a nice fortune has been started by the first small de­ posit of 51.00 and then by adding to this beginning and having the interest compounded semi-annually, theTi’ay we do at our bank, the account has grown until the (repositor has a good sum to invest in some paying busineajj. Every dollar deposited in our savings department will earn you 3 per cent interest compounded semi-annually. 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 thp finder be unscrupulous the maker of the check can cancel payment. There arc many other conveniences in having an open check­ ing Recount with us. Our advice is deposit your money -with our strong bank and let us furnish you with one of our heat little cheek books and from now on PAY by check. Keep your money where you krtow it is safe from burglars and fire and protected by our $900,000 resources. Hastings City Bank Rev. W. M.

No one has been more severely tried than she through the enforced use of inferior flour and substitutes, but she certainly “made good." Now that conditions are changing and gradually Working back to nor­ mal It is possible to manufacture the pre-war high patent flour. ,This is certainly good news to the discriminating woman .who de­ sires to provide her family with the very best of wholesome, healthful, palatable food. Lily White "The Sour the best cooks use' may'nuw be'obtained in the old-time high quality grade No better flour, has ever been made and mighty few have even nearly equaled it. • Light, white, flavory bread may again be baked and LILY WHITE FLOUR has been made particularly for this class of work. ;In fact LILY WHITE FLOUR is sold under the guarantee that the purchase price will be cheerfully refunded if you do not like it as well or BETTER than any flour you have ever used for every requirement of. home use. • .When ordering Flour, aay LILY WHITE. “The flour the best cooks 'use" and insist on having it Vour baking troubles will be over.

Second, to do the work as cheaply as possible. Suppose we just analyze the various methods resorted to and see what the net results are; • • ■ Fanner A hauls the manure to the field and dumps iCrh piles containing from one to two hundred pounds each, and Ihter spreads it, usually just ahead of the plow. Farmer B hauls his to the field and spreads it with a hand fork from the wagon. Farmer C uses a manure spreader. Here's The Result of The Test Made The following test was made, certified to by a committee of honest, disinterested farmers: It required Farmer A twpnty-one min ites to load one ton of manure. He spent eleven and one-haif minutes in going to the field and returning, and he spent thirtytwo mniutes in unloading the manure in piles and spreading it on the land. , Farmer B loaded his wagon in twenty-ine minutes, drove to the field and returned in eleven and one-half minutes, and spent twenty-eight minutes_ in spreading the manure from the wagon. Farmer C loaded his spreader in sixteen minutes, drove to the field and returned In eleven and one-half minutes, and spread the manure on the land evenly and thor­ oughly pulverized in two minutes. • ■ COST OF HANDUNG ONE LOAD. Value of Time of Man and Team Valued at 40 Cents per Hour. , Farmer A, 44c. Farmer B, 40c. Farmer C, 20c Farmer A would haul 9.3 loads in one day, working 10 hours a day. Farmer B would haul 9.9 loads in one day, working 10 hours a day. Farmer C would haul 20.8 loads in one day, working 10 hours a day. It costs'Farmer A <88.00 to haul and spread 200 loads of manure. It costs Farmer B 380.00 to haul and spread 200 loads of manure. It costs Farmer C <40.00 to haul and spread 200 loads of manure. It costs Fanner A 348.00 more to dispose of 200 loads than it does Farmer C, and it costs Farmer B <40.00 more than it does Farmer C. MR. ENZMINGER MAKES A TEST. Mr. Lawrence Enzminger of Platte Center, Nebraska, made the following report: “We manured forty acres with a spreader and an adjoining thirty acres received no manure. The forty acres averaged forty-eight bushels of corn per acre, and the thirty acres averaged thirty-nine bushels per acre. The gain in favor of the manured field was nine bushels-per acre, or three hundred and sixty bushels on the forty acres. The corn sold for fifty cents per bushel, or $180.00, much more than the cost of the spreadar.” * \ , I Goodyear Brothers Hardware Co. I Phone 2266.

The result is a perfectly pure, clean flour. That is not all. Flour must be more than pure and clean to bake good biscuits and breads. It must be properly ground. Every woman knows it is necessary to have the pieces of potato of equal size to insure thoroughly uniform cooking. The same principle applies to flour, The granulation must be abso­ lutely uniform to insure uniformity in baking and without this uniform­ ity good baking results are impossible.

There is a general movement felt everywhere in the direction of laying aside something For possible need later on. If every young man or young woman would make it his or her fixed pur­ pose to save a part of the money he or she received in-salary each week and put it in this strong bank, it would be but a few years before there would be a nice bapk account to his or her credit and a valuable habit—that of sav­ ing—would be formed. . The Government Has Been Putting We hear much said these days relative to saving in every line, but it is especially in the matter of saving your income, that you should be interested. It is so much better for every one if you save something now during your EARNING PERIOD. It is good for you, of course, but it is also good for your family, your community and your country. . One’s saving period MUST be during an earning period. If the time comes when you are not earning as much as now, it will be that much harder to accumulate anything for the “Rainy Day" of life. । Why pot begin immediately and puba little money in an account in our bank?

You See Where You Place Each Forkful of Manure The John D\jerc Spreader is only hip-high to the top. It is easy to load. You don’t pitch the manure high or over the drive wheels. The beater being mounted on the axle, places the drive wheels back out of the way. It;is comparatively easy to lift a fork of manure three feel, hip-high—all that is necessary with a John Deere Spreader. From there to the top of the ordinary high-up spreaders is where the real hard work comes in. 1 . . You see into the John Deere Spreader while you are loading it. Each fork uf manure is placed exactly where you want is. You naturally put on an even load and that insures more uniform spreading. Higher Loading at Front End Permitted by the Sloping , Front Board . . The front board on the John Deere Spreader slopes upward'and forward. It extends about eight inches above the box. Manure can be piled higher at the front end than ordinary. As the endless apron moves the load toward the beater, the higher part of the load falls forward onto the-empty apron. Th*8 increases the capacity of the machine and keeps the load at an even height when it reaches the beater. The sloping front board also makes shorter turning possible, an especially desirable feature. .

Thj^ohn Deere Spreader can be used on days that are toft windy for good spreading with a high-up spreader, or with any spreader that throws the manure into the air. The beater on the John Deere Spreader being on the axle, is comparatively near the ground. The wind does not blow the manure to one side or for­ ward onto the driver. Load Carried by all Four Wheels Not the Rear Ones Only. The weight of the load on the John Deere Spreader is distributed over all of its Wheels. The manure being piled higher in front when loading brings the center of the load comparatively near the horses. This is one of the reasons why John Deere Spreaders is light draft. The beater teeth on the John Deere Spreader enter the manure at the.bottom of the load and carry it over the lop of the beater. The manure is delivered well up onto the beater because the beater is on the axle, . low down at the rear end of the load. This greatly decreases the draft and makes it possible to spread every bit of the manure. Goodyear Bros. Hdwe. Co.

It is so much better for every one if you save something now during your EARNING PERIOD. It is good for you, of course, but it is also good for your family, your community and - our country. One's saving period MUST be during an earning period. If the time comes when you are'not earning as nr’ch as now. it will be that much harder to accumulate anything for the “Rai y Dav" of life.

The trouble was likely due to one of two things, or to both. , Either the machine was not set up cor­ rectly and oiled properly when it was delivered to you, or else you didn't un­ derstand its operation as thoroughly as you did later. More than that, we try to be sure that every customer gets the benefit of the study we have given to the machine he buys. We want him to understand every feature; of its operation when he puts it to work. Wo take every /care to prevent these tw'o trouble-makers. We have found that this plan is of first importance to our c^stoniers and to us. It makes it easy to put into effect our standing rule that an implement or ma­ chine must satisfy the buyer before it satisfies us. We bee to it that the machines we sell are set up, exactly as intended by the manufacturer, and oiled wherevir neceagary. Whenever you need an implement, come in and get the extra satisfaction that goes with a purchase from us.

Russia crumbled away and failed the Allies largely through lack of food, according to an American eyewitness. With plentiful reserves and resources virtually untouched, her people starved at horpe and at the front because there was no adequate organization to place food where it was needed.

The Busiest Implement on the Farm The John Deere and Thornburg Culti-Packers ■ What It Does Prepares seed beds so that lumps are crushed and air spaces are filled out. Saves moisture in dry • weather if used after disc to form mulch soon after plow­ ing. It has quick, detachable wheels that can be removed and it can then be used in the corn. . Prevents winter killing in wheat, by using in early spring, pressing earth firmly about’roots. I by use directly following bu use directly following seeding. The Power, of' Cash Local News The farmer who uses the Culti-Packer in the riffht way will keep it busy more days of the year than any other tool on the farm. Frnm the early spring when it preventsAvinter killing In the| wheat­ field and meadow, till the last day of fall seeding, there is work where the Culti-Packer will repay many fold the time spent in using it To begin with it starts the seed bed right by crushing all clods, firming out harmful air spaces and mulching the sur­ face. Following the drill or planter it presses soil about the seed, causing quick, even germination and preventing crests. When plants are small it stirs the soil, pressing about the roots, destroying any clods or crusts and keeping the field in good growing condition. It keeps moisture in the soil against dry weather by packing the soil underneath and at the same time stirring and mulching the surface. ' On every crop the farmer raises the Culti-Packer is being successfully used—Wheat, Corn, Oats, Alfalfa, Sugar Cano, Sugar Beets, Potatoes, Etc. .. spceiaDy interoated in hearing Gen. Louin C.

The Place Of The Original Postum MARCH 27, Wt. a What Andrew Carnegie Said lion dullnn- I hr "When I was. a telegraph messenger boy, down there in Pittsburgh, earning but a trifling sum of money each week, the newspaper reporters would come every night to the telegraph office to copy dispatches. We'had no Associated Press in those days, and the local papers would have to send their men to the telegraph office to make duplicates of a limited kind of news service that would come in from other points of the country. I think I averaged about $2.50 a week from the pockets of those jolly spendthrift re­ porters, who always impressed me with the idea that a dollar waa only made to be spent with kingly disregard of it 3 VALUE. My mother and I managed to live on the small salary I received, and I SAVED the money 1 got from the reporters. When 1 had saved $200 1 invested it. That was the turning point of my life. Andrew Carnegie, the messenger boy, became Andrew Carnegie, the investor.” ' cereal Boil just like coffee—15 minutes after boiling begins. Its delicious flavor, rich seal brown color and fine aroma make it such a satisfying cup that Postum is the ideal drink with meals for both children and grown people. n program which dinll lie r> Used in place of coffee it provides a real health drink. Contains no drugs, no caffcin as does coffee* doesn't make you nervous,’ sleepless or fretful. “There’s a Reason” The world today is demanding THRIFT. It is demanding that people SAVE MONEY as they never did before. We cannot all become Andrew Carnegie, the multi-millionaire, but we can ALL become Andrew Carnegie, the investor. It’s a simple process. All that it demands is SACRIFICE of some of the things we have grown to feel we canndt get along without, but which we would be better off if we would do without. :;ni; At Grocers—two sizes I 5c & 25c.

Our factory and assembly plant* production is being pushed to the limit, with the thought in mind of reaching our normal capacity of three thousand cafs per day as quickly as possible, in order that the demands of prospective buyers might be met to the fullest possible extent and that our dealers might increase their profits proportionately* .

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. ..•*♦' Thi. may not be easy at first, for with your money IN THE BANK, in­ stead 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 this Bank, your SAVINGS, together with the THREE PER CENT INTEREST (compounded TWICE each year), will show RESULTS that cannot fail to SATISFY YOU. The "SAVING HABIT" is the time-tried and proven foundation of BUSINESS SUCCESS. It s the ASSURANCE of an old age free from the suffering which POVERTY brings.

The 30 million dollars ot . capital stock represents a cash investment of $117,509,465.00.

Good Things To Eat to know brought 10 Hanging la j electric ctattf pui-iishujcnt f death would Le: him with aJ After a strenuous day’s work it is with delight we sit down to a bounti­ ful meal. And we start right in to satisfy the inner man. The good wife has not overlooked anything in her endeavor to appease the appetite. She haa learned long since that the moat direct route to her husband's heart is through his stomach. The men are all alike in this respect. And why shouldn't we have good things to eat? We only live in thia old world-once and the best way to get the most out of life is to enjoy it-every day as we go along. Don't wait until tomorrow to begin using Lily White "The Hour the besttooks use" For every day you are without it you are miaaing something. Your bread will be mort delicious, lighter and whiter if baked from LILY WHITE. Your bakings will be more uniformly excellent. LILY WHITE is more than just flour. It is the best part of th choicest wheat carefully and scientifically milled into the very best flour it is possible to produce. • The way to have better bread, biscuits and pastry is to use better flour, , and the way to have better flour is to buy LILY WHITE “The flour the best cooks use." Your money will be cheerfully refunded if you do not like LILY WHITE FLOUR as well or BETTER than any flour you have ever used. . .L:- Ai countty and their bell*vs that tbs stronger spirit ICS. . that I would like ,uaa. ev<mI for himj th* Mild be i very- poor what be ho* done; letting him off easy.

The soldiers have done their part but the Ameri-' can people have to complete theirs. This country had just reached its seven­ league stride when Germany’s military ma­ chine gave way.. The successful operation of the draft law was piling troops into France. The thirty-mile gun was silencing the big Berthas. A gas was ready for the Boche that was more deadly than anything he had invented. The seas were practically clear of sub­ marines. The Junkers saw what was coming and com­ ing fast. At Chateau-Thierry they had met only the skir­ mishers; only the advance guard was coming through the Argonne Forest. But that was enough. They wanted no more. t the things that have been won. Ask him if we have yet paid the entire bill. The stride of tiiis awakened giant can not be stopped with the signing of the armistice, shall not be stopped. He must continue to his final peaceful place among the nations. But, lucky giant, he has none of the ravages of war like those of France and Belgium to repair. Nor has . he borne the brunt of the battle through the heat of the day. His reward will be the same as the rest. But the » people must now finish payment for the tools with which he labored. The Sixty-third Congress, in its second session, au­ thorized $24,000,000,000 for a year’s war expenses. A good part of this money will not now be spent. Between April, 1917, and December, 1918, we spent $24,500,­ 000,000. Allowing $2,000,000,000 for the normal ex­ penses of running the government during the war period, there remained $22,000,000,000 as the cdst of the war up to the end of last year. The American people supplied * this through subscriptions for Liberty Bonds, the purchase of War Savings Stamps, and the payment of taxes^ with­ out upsetting the economic and financial structure of the Nation. Can they not be expected to supply the balance with as little disturbance to business? Back of this preparation for war on a scale that Ger­ many could not believe until she saw it, stood a hundred million peaceful citizens. It was they who gave the Gov­ ernment a blank check, signed by them and endorsed “for account of winning the war.” It was they, when called upon to honor that check in payment for things received on this account, who paid to the Treasury $18,000,000,­ 000 in twenty months, in addition to their taxes. The Government could go ahead with its stupendous prepara­ tions without any apprehension regarding the source of the money to pay for them. The Hun knew that we were going ahead, and he quit. A peace-loving people had de­ cided for war as the most effective means of securing peace. The time is now approaching when this check must again be presented for payment. This is to be the pay­ ment for peace. This time the money will not go to speed the parting soldier, but to bring him home, to pay for the things he needed and used to help the Allies lick the Hun, to close out government accounts with American industry and agriculture organized on a war basis, to complete the victory, to pay for liberty. Will a peace-loving people fail to honor its check when the drums of war are no longer beating and the voice of duty is no longer calling her sons to the front? Do the fires of patriotism die out with the ending of the battle’s roar? If so, then let us call upon the returning soldier—who has stood at the brink of death and learned to measure things at their true value—to give us his estimate of the value of liberty, of . We enter upon the reconstruction era with assets such as no other nation possesses and with a comparatively smaller debt. Germany’s war debt is estimated at twofifths of the national wealth. Our debt, exclusive of ad­ vances to Allies, at the end of 19l8 was $12,000,000,­ 000 as against $250,000,000,000 of resources. The re­ sources of our national banks, for instance, exceed the aggregate resources of the national banks of England, France, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Japan, and Germany, all combined. The peopie of the United States will be able to oversubscribe the “Victory Liberty Loan” without straining their credit and without curtailing the supply of money needed by manu­ facturers, merchants, and exporters during the recon­ struction period. But it is goii r to take patriotism and everyone must united effort to-make the loan success; . . meet his obligation on the war check. Doing so, he will get the safest and one of the most attractive investments in the world. Grand Rapids Bookcase & Chair Co. Hastings Table Co. C. H. Osborn Co. Consolidated Press Co.

It is a new criterion. It .comes to introduce new stand­ ! ards and new principles. The improvements number more than 100. The advances are radical. Together they embody 50% 175% 25% 20% More Strength— More Endurance— More Economy— ' Added Beauty and Comfort. Such changes denote no ordinary evolution They mean a revolution in this type and class. . The Incentive We decided on this new-type car two years ago. Then we em­ ployed many' able specialists to aid in ite treation. They have done in two years what might have taken twice as long; save for the war-time lull. We went into truck building and our designing staff could devote 18 months to this car. The reason for it lies in facts which every maker knows. The Light Six type was too light. It was usually too small. It was too much affected by price com­ petition. The general standards were not high enough. Years of experience proved that. They also brought out new requirements in a high-grade car. Men nowadays buy cars to keep, and they expect permanence. We Face the Facts • We have .simply faced these facts. Mitchell pioneered the Six. All the world over Mitchell Sixes hold unique respect When higher standards seemed essential, Mitchell was the car to introduce them. Ko in this new car we fulfill that obligation. Some will call us extremists. They will say wc have added too much, including ' some weight But there is no such thing as over-strength in these days. The utmost endurance is none too much. There are thousand* of motorists who think as wc do, and this car is for them. Incidental’Facts This is not to describe the car. Moro than 100 important im­ provements-cannot be dealt with in this space. Write for our cat­ alog. or go over the car with your dealer. But note that to a strong car we have added 50 per cent more strength. To a many-year de­ velopment we have added 75 per cent endurance. Despite added weight, we have reduced operating cost by 25 per cent. . • > To insure finer workmanship and moro exacting tests, we have spent $250,000 for new machin­ ery and equipment. To insure perfection in every detail we, have 135 trained inspectors. For enduring appearance, we use twice the usual varnish coats. And we use a costly top. Jfor comfort we use a long wheelbase, long cantilever rear springs^!’*', ball-bearing steering gear. Yet It 11 $1475 Every one of these new stand­ ards means an added cost. Some are quite expensive, as you’ll see. Yet this new car still undersells any comparable Six. Under pres­ ent conditions the profit ia very small. The price would be im­ possible save for wonderful fac­ tory efficiency. We build the complete car — motor, chassis and body — under scientific cost-reducing methods. Come see tfie result at our show­ room. It will give you * newideal • . $1475 f. o. b. Racine Five Passenger. 120-Inch Wheelbase.

Harrowing pulverizes, smooths, packs and fines the soil so the plant food, locked up therein is made available.- It puts the ground in shape to in­ sure quick and vigorous germination of the seed, and prepares a proper home for the young and tender plants. who are looking' for gifts of unusual ar­ tistic individuality will find it an easy mat­ ter to make a selection from our stock of SPRING GOODS. Thf Syracuse Spring Tooth Harrow should be an important part of the regular farm equipment It can be used profitably on all kinds of land. It also furnishes the best practical means of pulverizing sandy, gravelly or stony ground where deep cultivation is required. The spring teeth penetrate to a greater depth than other style harrow teeth, dig up the lower stratum of soil and bring it to the surface, where it is mixed with the top son. In short, the use of Syracuse Spring Tooth Harrows aids in Securing bigger crops and necessarily increases farm profits. ‘ < A distinctive feature in the constnfction of Syracuse Spring Tooth Lever Harrows is that the frame between sre-lmn.. »«.. . . —It -....... ----- -L-.L-----------------------*_ ..--------A|j laBdjng 0|.

Furthermore, the frames are raised slightly al the rear inner ends, and the teeth arc spaced so that trash naturally works toward the center and out through the opening.

It is with the greatest pleasure that we make this announcement to the public feeling confident that all our friends will appreciate the addition of such talent to our firm. It will con­ tinue to be our aim to serve our patrons to the very best of dur ability.

Than Have to Build It Up At one time the farms “Down East,” especially in the state of New York, were considered the most valuable farm lands in the world. A vig­ orous and continuous system of farming—of taking crop after crop from this rich soil had the effect to at last reduce the land to almost a “barren.” The vitality was taken every season and no nourishment or' fertilizer put back to take the place of those substajnees which the crons absorbed. The result was that thousands of acres of once rich farm lands were abandoned because they would not produce enough to pay for working them. Proper use of fertilizer would have kept those farms in a high state of productivity. It will cost hundreds of dollars and take years of time to put these farms back into proper condition. Homestead Fertilizers We have found that Homestead Fertilizers are the moat satisfactory we can Buy. They have not only a reputation, but the needed qualities to make them effective.

Refineries and bulk storage, occupying thousands of acres and representing a cash investment of tens of millions of dollars, are required, to keep the flow of products steady. * Distributing centers from which Standard Oil products are delivered to individual customers are maintained at more than four thousand points in eleven states. Thousands of motor trucks, which deliver the products to our customers, round but the most complete distribution system in the world. In additiomto these necessities, the Stand­ ard Oil Company maintains at all times sufficient additional equipment to meet any emergency.

In Oldgn Times it was an English custom among those of Catholic faith to observe Good Friday as a day of fasting, and those who ad­ hered strictly to their faith ate nothing until the evening of that day, then they permitted themselves to partake of Hot Cross Buns. At that time these buns were made by the people themselves, de­ licious and nourishing, yet plain, marked by a cross cut in the top of nf flirt ’•f'vnan nf CnlvaVV ” nn/.l. l.iin . These Hot Cross Buns were a delicious, palatable morse), ®kde of the richest, highest grade materials that could be secured.

Demand * Chocolates The Policy of The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ’ is the policy of the Standard all: to the consumer, to the em­ ploye, to the stockholder and to the competitor. To deal fairly with the consumer by man­ ufacturing the best petroleum products, distributing them widely and selling them at lowest prices. To deal fairly with the employe by giving him steady work.-compensating hiih lib­ erally, and.as far as possible, insuring him against unemployment. To deal fairly with the competitor by standing squarely on the broad, general principle of live and let live—by main­ taining open prices and never deviating from them. The Standard Oil Company knows that, by reason of-ita relining and distribution facilities, and the service it renders to customers, it has no need to disorganize the market to get its fair share of the business. That is all it expects and wants. It is because of adherence to these gen­ era] policies that the Company has pros- , pered, and the -Directors have been able to give a creditable accounting of their trusteeship to tbe 4628 stockholders who have their money invested in the Company.

The vitality was taken every season and no nourishment or fertilizer pu back to take the place of those substances which the crops absorbed. Th result was that thousands of acres of once rich farm lands were abandoned because £hey would not produce enough to pay for working them. Proper use of fertilizer would have kept those farms in a high state of productivity. It will cost hundreds of dollars and take years of time to put these farms back into proper condition. s ■ ■ . i , Homestead Fertilizers We have found that Homestead Fertilizers are the most satisfactory we can buy. They have not only a reputation, but the needed qualities to make them effective.

A nice little Bank Account is a barrier across which the wolf of “Hard Luck" has NEVER been known to come. Why not PROTECT YOURSELF und YOUR HOME by opening an account in this BANK? Save something each week, or each month, and put it in our Savings Department, where you will get THREE PER CENT INTEREST, compounded TWICE EACH YEAR. It will NET you about as much as you can get from a good safe mortgage. And it will give you this advantage—YOU CAN GET’YOUR! MONEY ANY TIME you want it, or you can GET ANY PART OF IT. If you get "pinched” for money you can get it and pot “get hurt." If you could only KNOW how Savings Accounts in this Bank have helped some of our depositors, you would never let another week pass by without starting an account with us. That’s why the most prosperous people all over Barry County have opened Savings Account with us. They KNOW what an account here means to them at any time they'may NEED MONEY.

Don’t Neglect Your Eyes! Ixws of eyesight destroys life's pleasures and is incon­ venient. We are prepared to give you eye relief. Put a Bank Account Between Your Children t MONEY SAVE FOR YOUR KIDDIES UNTIL THEY CAN SAVE FOR THEMSELVES Teach your children from the start that “Saving’’ means “Thrift,” and "Success,” and "Plenty.” Such a habit formed in childhood brings satisfac­ tion and comfort, not only in old age, but all through life. Leading educators tell us that as you train children during the first six years of their lives so they will be through life. If this is true, and we believe it is, then how important it is that our children—the men and women Sf "To­ morrow"—are taught the great habit of "Thrift"and”Saving” so that later in life when they shall be left upon their own resources they will KNOW HOW to economize, KNOW HOW to lay away a few dollars, KNOW HOW to take care of themselves and npt come to want. . Hundreds of young men and women are having a hard time to get "Any­ where," because they do not KNOW HOW to lay away part of what they earn each week. TEACH THEM TO SAVE Our Bank Ha.

Secondarily—it should be a beautifier. True' paint when properly applied will give an even protective coating over the whole surface applied. True paint must support itself without cracking when subjected to the elements. As it gradually wears away it must wear from the outside so as to give the longest protection. The Service Store offers to the painting public HARRISON’S Town and Country Paint We guarantee this paint to stand the tert. To fully appreciate Town and Country is to have it on your home. You make an in­ vestment when you use it. REMEMBER—The best is the cheapest. The cast of paint is so small compared with the labor cost of application that the extra years of wear and protection represent big dividends. , .

Such a habit formed in childhood brings satiefaction and comfort, not only in old age, but all through life. Leading educators tell us that as you train children during the first six ‘ ; years of their lives so they will be through life, if this is true, and we believe it is, then how important it is that our children—the men and women of "Tcfmorrow"—are taught the great habit of "Thrift"and"Saving" so that later in life when they shall be left upon their own resources they will KNOW HOW to economize, KNOW HOW to lay away a few dollars, KNOW HOW to take care of themselves and not come to want. Hundreds of young men and women are having a hard time to get “Any­ where," because they dp not KNOW HOW to lay away part of what they earn each week.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) *5HE Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has recognized the men and women who use its products as the ulti­ mate judges ol the success of the Company's earnest effort to render a superior service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) con­ ducts its business with but one goal as an objective—that every.individual purchaser of Standard Oil products shall experience com* pletp satisfaction with every purchase. When the Company reaches this goal, then, and only then, will the Board of Directors, acting as Trustees for the 4623 stockholders, (eel that their ideals-have been realized. Neither the Company, nor the-patronft, can be • satisfied unless the product is uniformly up to the highest standard of excellence—unless it can be nought without inconvenience—unless' the price charged represents'true value. To bring about this dogrec of satisfaction, unerring accuracy in manufacture, complete distribution, and efficiency in keeping down operating costs'arc essential. Working without precedent, but with high ideals, integrity of purpose, and a keen sense of its obligation as a public servant, the Company believes it has succeeded. Thte judgment of the consuming public has been for the most part favorable to the . . Company, as is shown by the ever increasing volume of business Xvijich the Standard Oil Company of Indiana is enjoying. The best friends of the Standard Oil Company of Indinha are those customers who have used its goods, and its service, for the longest time. Standard Oil Company {Indiana} 910 S.

German* n pretty'’good idea of the hell that was in store for them. They were planning to participate in n great advance scheduled for November 12, when tha armistice put a stop to it.

Mr. Mooro has no very high idea of the French people who inhabit the rural districts aud live in smnll vil­ lages generally. Their homes, while substantially built, generally of stone, arc unsanitary,’.with rows nnd horsqs stabled under the house or adjoining the house, and using water from shal­ low open wells that -are subject Io con­ tamination from many sources. Tho surroundings of these, homes are onything but inviting. In tho small villagcs the hou»c» are joined one to ani other lengthwise, bordering on tho street, and the domestic animals make themselves altogether too free around the premises to .suit tho Anwicnn.

In other words, most of the live stock is one or two thousand miles distant from most of the people who need it in the form of food. Fifty years ago, when live stock was raised Close to every consuming cfentef, the country butcher could handle th* Job after a fashion. But the Job got too big. Now millions bf animals liave to be moved hundreds of miles to millions of people. Somewhere bn the way they nave to be turned into meat. The packers solved the problem. They set up plants where the “live haul” and the "meat haul" were in the fight balance. They built up distributing systems—refrigerator cars, refrigerating plants, branch houses. They saved time, monay and meat everywhere. The stockraiser bene­ fited in better markets and higher prices; the consumer, in better meat and lower prices. As the country grew, the packers had to grow, or break down. Because of its present size and efficiency.

(Indiana) NDERLYING the manufacturing activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), are the same high ideals of servic^; the same thoughtful consideration of detail; the same nest desire to do a big job thoroughly and well, which animates the Company in every oilier branch of its business. Every facility which wide experience, ample re­ sources, and the utmost skill of scientifically trained technicians can devise, or suggest, is provided to insure absolute uniformity and the highest standard of quality in each of the many product* manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The manufacturing facilities of the Company are concentrated in three great refineries, one located at Whiting. Ind., covering 700 acres; one at Wood River, 111^ covering 600 acres; and one at Sugar Creek, Mo., covering 200 acres of ground. The Whiting works is conceded to be the most complete, the most perfectly organized oil refinery in the world. Here practically every product of petroleum ia manufactured, and here are .located the great research laboratories where the prob­ lems of manufacture arc worked out and solved. The plants at Wood River and Sugar Creebutre modern in every particular and ao organized as to use every part of the crude oil. This enables the Company to keep manufacturing costs at a . • minimum and to supply ita patrons with prod­ ucts of the highest standard at prices which otherwise would be impossible. The 7,000 earnest, industrious, well-paid men and women who make up the personnel of these three refineries, constitute, we believe, the most loyal, the most enthusiastic, moat efficient, in­ dustrial army to be found anywhere. : The facilities alone for mauufacture maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) represent an investment of approxlniately* $60,000,000. This investment is growing constantly to-enable the* Company to maintain the high standard of service it has set for itself and which itAbelieveq the public is entitled to receive. U Standard Oil Company ■ ■ Looms Next Winter To avoid a coal shortage next winter production during the coming summer must be in­ creased considerably. Analysis of coal production records since Nov. 1 last indicates that coal will be far from plentiful next winter, if production continues to drop. St Is Up to You, Mr. Coal User Whether we are to have enough coal to keep us warm next winter ia just now entirely up to the individual consumer. If he places his order now, takes delivery and stores the coal, there will be plenty of coal for everybody. If he defers buying until fall—if he delays sixty days—there will be a shortage next winter, especially of anthracite, that will be worse than anything of the kind this country has experienced since 1902, when the mine-workers* strike tied up everything. It may be said also that prices are not going lower. Prices of anthracite will advance 10 cents a ton on May 1. They will advance 10 cents a ton on the first day of each month thereafter up to and including September. Time to Buy Coal1 Is Now Unlea* the “buy early1* campaign recently started by the United State* fuel administra­ tion ia taken seriously by the consumer* of the country very little improvement may be ex­ pected in the operation of the mine*._ Consumers holding back their order* are advised that the best time to buy coal ia when there is a lack of demand for it, and that condition pre­ vails now. The beat time to put in order* with the dealer* for next winter** supply of coal iz NOW, when it is plentiful and the demand for it is light. Furthermore, it take* twelve months for the miners to produce, the railroads to transport and the retail coal men to deliver • year's supply of coal. Call us up at once and let us take your order for coal for next winter. EDMONDS BROTHERS BARRY COUNTY’S BIG ELEVATOR Lt Sunday with Mr. and Mr*.

You see, half the secret of makin’ a good hoss is in the breedin’ an’ half in the breakin’. Selectin’ tobacco that’s grown right is only half of makin’ Velvet. The agein’ is the other half. .Thar’s only one kind of'agein’ that gets th’ right results — Nature's own. Nature’s no clock watcher. She does a job right whether it takes two years or two thousand. So when she gets through with the fine Kentucky Burley that we put away in wooden hogsheads for two years, it’s just right. It ain’t been hurried or ’ short - cutted. J Nature-done job. All kinds of things are packed in tobacco tins, but your good neighbor will tell you “Velvet is the real pipe tobacco.” Prove it for your­ self. ** num's Court.

In other words, most of the live stock is one or two thousand miles distant from most of the people who need it in the form of food. Fifty years ago, when live stock was raised Close to every consuming cfentef, the country butcher could handle th* Job after a fashion. But the Job got too big. Now millions bf animals liave to be moved hundreds of miles to millions of people. Somewhere bn the way they nave to be turned into meat. The packers solved the problem. They set up plants where the “live haul” and the "meat haul" were in the fight balance. They built up distributing systems—refrigerator cars, refrigerating plants, branch houses. They saved time, monay and meat everywhere. The stockraiser bene­ fited in better markets and higher prices; the consumer, in better meat and lower prices. As the country grew, the packers had to grow, or break down. Because of its present size and efficiency.

Looms Next Winter To avoid a coal shortage next winter production during the coming summer must be in­ creased considerably. Analysis of coal production records since Nov. 1 last indicates that coal will be far from plentiful next winter, if production continues to drop. St Is Up to You, Mr. Coal User Whether we are to have enough coal to keep us warm next winter ia just now entirely up to the individual consumer. If he places his order now, takes delivery and stores the coal, there will be plenty of coal for everybody. If he defers buying until fall—if he delays sixty days—there will be a shortage next winter, especially of anthracite, that will be worse than anything of the kind this country has experienced since 1902, when the mine-workers* strike tied up everything. It may be said also that prices are not going lower. Prices of anthracite will advance 10 cents a ton on May 1. They will advance 10 cents a ton on the first day of each month thereafter up to and including September. Time to Buy Coal1 Is Now Unlea* the “buy early1* campaign recently started by the United State* fuel administra­ tion ia taken seriously by the consumer* of the country very little improvement may be ex­ pected in the operation of the mine*._ Consumers holding back their order* are advised that the best time to buy coal ia when there is a lack of demand for it, and that condition pre­ vails now. The beat time to put in order* with the dealer* for next winter** supply of coal iz NOW, when it is plentiful and the demand for it is light. Furthermore, it take* twelve months for the miners to produce, the railroads to transport and the retail coal men to deliver • year's supply of coal. Call us up at once and let us take your order for coal for next winter. EDMONDS BROTHERS BARRY COUNTY’S BIG ELEVATOR Lt Sunday with Mr. and Mr*. Mr*, Mac Cftx of MUskegon Height*, The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) NDERLYING the manufacturing activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), are the same high ideals of servic^; the same thoughtful consideration of detail; the same nest desire to do a big job thoroughly and well, which animates the Company in every oilier branch of its business. Every facility which wide experience, ample re­ sources, and the utmost skill of scientifically trained technicians can devise, or suggest, is provided to insure absolute uniformity and the highest standard of quality in each of the many product* manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The manufacturing facilities of the Company are concentrated in three great refineries, one located at Whiting. Ind., covering 700 acres; one at Wood River, 111^ covering 600 acres; and one at Sugar Creek, Mo., covering 200 acres of ground. The Whiting works is conceded to be the most complete, the most perfectly organized oil refinery in the world. Here practically every product of petroleum ia manufactured, and here are .located the great research laboratories where the prob­ lems of manufacture arc worked out and solved. The plants at Wood River and Sugar Creebutre modern in every particular and ao organized as to use every part of the crude oil. This enables the Company to keep manufacturing costs at a . • minimum and to supply ita patrons with prod­ ucts of the highest standard at prices which otherwise would be impossible. The 7,000 earnest, industrious, well-paid men and women who make up the personnel of these three refineries, constitute, we believe, the most loyal, the most enthusiastic, moat efficient, in­ dustrial army to be found anywhere. : The facilities alone for mauufacture maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) represent an investment of approxlniately* $60,000,000. This investment is growing constantly to-enable the* Company to maintain the high standard of service it has set for itself and which itAbelieveq the public is entitled to receive.

You can gamble that under these conditions every man does his level best to see that hi* work is well done and you know what a big differ­ ence there is when the worker feels his personal responsibility We want every housewife to haye a chance to try French's Flour Mere words can't possibly give you any idea of how good it is.

You see, half the secret of makin’ a good hoss is in the breedin’ an’ half in the breakin’. Selectin’ tobacco that’s grown right is only half of makin’ Velvet. The agein’ is the other half. .Thar’s only one kind of'agein’ that gets th’ right results — Nature's own. Nature’s no clock watcher. She does a job right whether it takes two years or two thousand. So when she gets through with the fine Kentucky Burley that we put away in wooden hogsheads for two years, it’s just right. It ain’t been hurried or ’ short - cutted. J Nature-done job. All kinds of things are packed in tobacco tins, but your good neighbor will tell you “Velvet is the real pipe tobacco.” Prove it for your­ self. ** num's Court.

If he places his order now, takes delivery and stores the coal, there will be plenty of coal for everybody. If he defers buying until fall—if he delays sixty days__ there will be a shortage next Winter, especially of anthracite, that will be worse than anything of the kind this country has experienced since 1902, when the mine-workers* strike tied up everything. It may be said also that prices are not going lower. Prices of anthracite will advance 10 cents a ton on May 1. They will advance .10 cents a ton on the first day of each month thereafter up to and including September. Time to Buy Coal Is Now Unless the “buy early” campaign recently started by the United States fuel administra­ tion is falcon seriously by the consumers of the country very little improvement may be ex­ pected in the operation of the mines;- Consumers holding back their orders are advised that the best time to buy coal is when there is a lack of demand for it, and that condition pre­ vail: now. The best time to put irf orders with the dealers for next winter’s supply of coal is NOW, when it is plentiful and the demand for it is light Furthermore, it takes twelve months for the miners to produce, the railroads to transport and the retail coal mon to deliver a year’s supply of coal. . .

FRIENDLY ■ TOBACCO | Friendly ” is a very good word to describe the positively pleasing quality that sets VELVET tobacco apart. There is that indescribable something about VELVET that is associated in men’s minds with the thought of a friend. It is a satisfying smoke—never harsh; without a bite. Like a fj-iend it “agrees” with you no matter how much you use it Long, patient ageing—in wooden hogsheads—does it. Friendship must ripen alowly. ■ Good tobacco the same way. An army of men have learned this through VELVET. Today is a good time to get a lot of comfort out of a pipeful of friendly VELVET. Sunday. .’ Sergeant Da*n H.

Mysterious happenings, intrigue, spy plotting. Uingredient* of "The False Faces." tsrtalnmcnt that could be devised. "Tho Lone Wolf," no longer a criminal but an Allied intelli­ gence officer, 1* on tho trail of a notorious Prus­ sian spy named Eckstrom, who is reetxmslble for tho death of the Lone Wolf's wife and child. He is torpedoed by a U-boat and the Lone Wolf, cast into the sea, is picked up by the submarine. He Martha's Vineyard, delivers a secret message on- trusted to him by a mysterious and beautiful girl; gets into a network of »py intrigue and finally suc­ ceeds in bl* revenge and wins tho girl for his own. Henry B. Walthall is the hero, and ifl* portrayal of the Lone Wolf is as masterly as his previous , creation* for the screen. Mary Anderson is leading woman and is entirely pleasing, while Lon Chaney makes a most despicable villain. The submarine scenes are wonderfully done and the whole Atmo­ sphere of mystery, tease action and suspense are evidences of the remarkable direction of Irvin V. Willat and the supervision of Mr. Ince. Tills is one of the finest productions ever booked for our playhouse and its value as a photoplay is enhanced by the portrayal of the leading role by Henry B. Walthall. Tho supporting cart is ex­ ceptionally fine nnd tn every other resoect this is a photoplay which yon may see many times with profit. NO ADVANCE IN PRICES. and ¥■’ r.d.

Read the folio wing it Is Up to You, Mr. Coal User • w Whether we are to have enough coal to keep us warm next winter ia just now entirely up to the individual consumer. If he places his order now, takes delivery and stores the coal, there will be plenty of coal for everybody. IF he defers buying until fall—if he delays sixty jay*—there will be a shortage next winter, especially of anthracite, that will be worse than 4H*zthing of the kitfil this country has experienced since 1902, when the mine-workers’strike tied up everything. It may be said also that prices are not going lower. Prices of anthracite will advance 10 cents a ton on May 1. They will advance ’.0 cents a ton on the first day of •ach month thereafter up to and including September. Time to Buy Coal Is Now County News ' Unless the "buy early” campaign recently started by the United States fuel administra* tion is takef( seriously by the consumers of the country very little improvement may be ex­ pected in thr operation of the mines.- Consumers holding back their orders are advised that the Lest time to buy coni is when there is a lack of demand for it, and that condition pre­ vails now. The best time to put in orders with the dealers for next winter’s supply of coal h NOW, when it is plentiful and the demand for it is light. Furthermore, it takes twelve months for the miners to produce, the railroads to transport and the retail coal men to deliver A year's supply of coal. QUIMBY.

The Standard Oil Company {Indiana) and the Motorist HE Standard Oil Comfiany (In­ diana), as a public servant, interprets its obligation to the 2,000,000 motor­ ists in the territory it serves as reaching beyond simply supplying them with gas­ oline and lubricating oils. TheCompany feels that it falls short of its full duty, if in the manufacture of gasoline and lubricating oils the elements of economy, efficiency,'dependability, and protection are not inherent in every gallon. 'Die Standard Oil Company (Indiana) reauires of.its products, that,-in addition to furnishing dependable power and lubri­ cation the car ihvcstmcnt of the motorist must be protected-^-his repair bills muit be minimized—the life of*the car must be prolonged. Every frictional surface must be conserved. The engine must respond instantly in emergenciesr- The motorjpt must get every possible mile out of every gallon of Standard Oil gasoline which he buys. •To make, these products as available to the 5-gallon buyer as to the 500-or 5000gallon buyer, the Company maintains 1300 service stations conveniently located throughout the territory. The Company realizes that its interests and those of the motorist are a unit— tangible and concrete.

THE ONLY WAY TO DEVELOP this capacity is. to *^rt a SAVINGS ACCOUNT, and to keep it ALIVE and GROWING. Possibly you can borrow the capital to start. Bu*DONT borrow your first capital—SAVE IT. For'in the act of SAVING you wilt GAIN MORE than the capRal'itself. You will gain the CONFIDENCE of a Banker, which every business man should have when he You will gain the CONFIDENCE of YOURSELF —faith in your own afjility to CONSERVE, which i* the first principle of *ucce*aful management.

So after you get your money PROPERLY DIS­ TRIBUTED you probably won’t have much more left 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 a SAVINGS ACCOUNT will TEACH YOU how to dis­ count and distribute the!

Time to Buy Coal Is Now Unless the "buy early" campaign recently started by the United States fuel administra­ tion is taken seriously by the consumers of the country very little improvement may be ex­ pected in the operation of the mines... Consumers holding back their orders are advised that the best time to 4uy cnel is when there is a lack of demand for it, and that condition pre­ vails now. The best time to put in orders with the dealer* fqr next winter's supply of coal is NOW, when it is plentiful and the demand for it is light Furthermore, it take* twelve months-for the miners to produce, the railroads to transport and the retail coal men to deliver a year's supply of coal.

So after you got your money PROPERLY DIS­ TRIBUTED you probably won’t have much more left then 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. Possibly you can borrow the capital to start. But DON’T borrow your first capital—SAVE IT. For in tha act of SAVING you will GAIN MORE than tho capital itself. . You wiU gain the CONFIDENCE of a Banker, which every business man should have when he starts You will gain tho CONFIDENCE of YOURSELF —faith in your own ability to CONSERVE, which is the first principle of successful management. • Here is where your EXPERIENCE in managing a SAVINGS ACCOUNT will TEACH YOU how to dis­ count and distribute tha 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 tho best FIRST STEP towards a BUSINESS or a FARM of your town. 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 as you ever had AT ONE TIME. We PAY YOU 3 PER CENT INTEREST on your SAVINGS DEPOSITS and COMPOUND the interest TWICE EACH YEAR. You can't begin any earlwr, and you can't take a step that will do you so much good. It is THEN that you would find yourself set upon by a WHOLE FLOOD OF IMPULSES TO SPEND MONEY.

For those active in the service the Cdtfapany pMvides steady efttpidytriettt, gbdd working conditions and satisfactory com­ pensation. In return the Company has required effi­ ciency—the kind of whole-hearted, painstaking effort which a Well paid em­ ployee, working under pleasant condi­ tions, is glad and happy to give. It is this Working spirit, developing in this highly specialized branch of industry the highest type of co-openitive interest, which enables the Company to discharge its obligations as a public servant in a manner satisfactory and benefteiri to the poblle, and to the <4*8 stockholders, not one of whom holds as much as 'ten per­ cept of the total stock.

NG SOFT DRL Just the Kind You Relish During the Hot Months The hot, enervating weather of Summer will soon be here, and there is nothing that is more invigorating than some good refreshing Soft Drink. People used to think that their wishes could not be gratified during-these hot months, unless there Was some alcoholic stimulant in their beverages, but with the com­ ing of Prohibition laws this has all been don$ away with, we hope forever. \ As is usual in such cases, Yankee ingenuity has come to the front, and has compounded healthful, invigorating drinks without any alcoholic content, and yet has left the original appearance and taste, without any of the bad effects that follow the use of alcohol. . . . . In connection with our Cigar and Tobacco business, we have a Soft Drink parlor for the accommodation of all who wish'a choice, cold drink on a hot day. In selecting our good^we have followed the same policy that has always been followed in our Cigar and Tobacco Department, and purchased nothing but THE BEST THAT MONEY COULD BUY, and we keep everything just as cold as ice can make it. A great many people, after partaking of our drinks, have told us that they were just as satisfying, and MORE SATISFACTORY than any drink that formerly contained alcohol. . If you enjoy a good, cold drink, come in and see us, and meet ydur friends here. We know that yoii will enjoy anything you order, because you can know advance that it will be the BEST that monfey can get. Here are a few of the many soft drinks we handle: 'Bergo, ” —which has proven very popular with all who _ have tried it. . Graino" Grape Juice Blackberry Apple Shrub Root Beer and many others Orangeade Apricot Ginger Ale • If you ever liked Bock beer, you’ll like "Graino," which haa the taste of Bock, and is a healthful drink. ■ 'Silver Foam” and "Vita —both very popular temperance drinks you’ll en­ joy. In addition to these we have:— extend „you a cordial invitation to come When you are in the city, yoO prompt service, and-just as good^goods as money'can buy.

It is thoroughly conservative in all of it* investment*: Every dollar that we loan goes into “gilt edged” securities that are known to be SAFE and SOLID. We have always conducted thi* Bank on the theory that “It’s better to be safe than — lorry.” 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 hi* Banking connection*. 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 safeJo 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 hi* income, it is pretty safe to put that young man in the das* with those who will n>t make a very glittering success. The business world isn’t taking many chance* with a chap who spends hi* 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 un­ derstands 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.

The important and essential thing is to care for and gather them with maximum speed and efficiency, and at minimum cost. Appreciating all this, and being determined to give the farmers of Barry County the best possible service in these very urgent and important days, when crop-caring and crop har­ vesting are so vital to them, we announce, with every confidence that we can and will “make good,” the fine service which we are under­ taking to render you. *-• • It goes without saying that, with farm labor so scarce and expensive. FARM MACHINERY must be used this year as never before. We have the exclusive agency for Hastings of the recognized best makes of farm machinery . —made by the largest manufacturers of such machinery, a Company with the largest resources, the best equipment for manufacturing, the greatest reputation in its lines, of any institution in the world. Its product is the last word in efficient and economical operation, durability and easy handling. It has studied the farmer’s needs as Has no , other organization, has met them in a far superior way, ayd has made plans as no other can to give SERVICE to the farmer in just such a year as this when Service Counts So Much. The Company we represent is a household word among the farmers of America.—It is the . International Harvester Company’s Line of FARM MACHINERY WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A CARLOAD OF, DEERING and McCORMICK Mowers and Binders MADE BY THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. WE KEEP IN STOCK THE INTERNATIONAL LINES OF Keystone Hay Loaders Keystone Hay Rakes International Cultivators One thing every Farmer should bear in mind is the ease of get­ ting whatever may be needed in the line of REPAIRS We aim to keep in stock at our elevator a complete line of REPAIRS for all makes and models of International’Farm Machinery. But if we should be temporarily out of any kind of these Repairs, the International Co. maintains a big stock of Repairs at each of ‘ ' _____ Warehouses at GRAND RAPIDS, JACKSON and DE­ TROIT, and a wire or telephone order frfcm us will bring anything on the first mail or express train from either of these points. Nearly every other Company has only one warehouse in the state and none of them keep such a stock of repairs as does the International at any one of these three places. It Makes a Big Difference to YOU. Mr. Farmer, when you have to have Repairs in a hurry, whether you can get them in a few hours, as you can from us, or h£ve to wait days till they can be sent from some distant Warehouse, or from the manufacturer, and in the meantime your crop is certain to suffer. Therefore the system which the up-to-date farmer should follow in these days is to have farm tools that are made by a manufacturer doing a big volume of business—the larger the better—and there­ fore with a reputation to sustain; and Who maintains repair ware­ houses easy of access to the farmer.‘ The International Co., are far and away the largest makers of farm tools in the world; have the reputation of making the best tools, at reasonable prices;’have many times more warehouses for repairs that are convenient‘(6 their patrons. And they give SERV­ ICE at all timis. When you come to town, let us tell you about the International Lines of Tools, and how we can MAKE IT AN OBJECT TO YOU TO BUY THEM OF US. We can show you easily how buying your farm tools of us is to YOUR advantage. EdmondsTBrothers CAREY U. EDMONDS, Proprietor. BARRY COUNTY’S BIG ELEVATOR. HASTINGS, MICH.

This rate is determined by the air line distance between toll points and is computed, for the initial period, on the basis of 5c for each G miles up to 24 miles and 5e far each 8 milts beyond that distance. For toll calls where the calling party does not specify a partic­ ular person to be reached at the called telephone, ths “station to station "rate is charged. 'This method provides the cheapest and quickest form of telephone toll service. “Station to station” calls should be mads as far as possible by giving the telephone number of the called telephone. When the number is nqt known and telephoni directory information is not available, the name and address under which the-tele­ phone^ is. listed together with -the information that it ia a ■station to'station” call should given to the toll operator, For toll calls where the calling party specifies a particular person to bo reached at the called telephone and the connection is established and conversation held with that person,, the “person to person” rate is charged. As this service requires a greater amount of operating effort, tho rate for such calls is ibout one-fourth greater than the “station to station" rate. (Minimum “person to person” rate 15o). ■For toll calls on a "person to.person" basis, where the calling party, in placing tho call, designates a definite time at whieh h° will talk and the conversation is held, the “appointment" rate is changed. As this service involves the making of the appointment inaddition to the operating effort necessary for a “person to person" call, the 'appointment" rate is about onehalf greater than the “station to station" rate. (Minimum “appointment” rata 20c). For loll calls mads on a "person to person" basis where mes­ senger service is required, to secure attendance of the desig­ nated person at the called telephone the “messenger call” rate applies. Thia rate is the same as tho “appointment" rate, plus any necessary charge for messenger service. In connection with all toll calls other than those made on a ‘•ateti on to station ” basis where the connection is established but the conversation is not held, because of any reason beyond the control of the telephone company a “report charge’' is mads equivalentto about one-fonrth of the “station jo station" rats. (Minimum "report charge" 5c, maximum $2.00). .Reduced rates, applying only to calls made on a “station to Station” basis are quoted for toll service between the hours df 8:30 p. m. and 4:30 a. m. The rate between 8:30 p. m. and 12 midnight (“evening rate”) is about one-half the “station In station” day rate, and between 12 midnight and 4:30 a. m. C'night rate") about one-fourth the “station to station" day Bate. The minimum night rate is 25c. Where the “station to station” day rate is 25a or less no reduction is made for. even■ing or night service The[tims at which connection is established at priginsting point -governs the rate determining whether the day, evening ar night charge applies on “station to station” service. Day rates apply on all calls other than those made on a " station tn station” basis, whether they art made during the day, even­ ing dr night Calls" or-’oalfo for wbich the:charges1 are revsr st is,'cqll&ted from the subscriber at: the called station) iwed only'in connection with “person to person*’'oallsr STATE ROAD.

"When 1 saw acquaintances with small­ er incomes than mine buying homes I decided that 1 was foolish to put it off any longer.

Increased scdf-confldencejthfit leads to greater business success. Beneficial and pleasant exercise in keeping the place trim. Financial . i. . . “3. Development of a thrift habit.

The hay keeps better in the mow, stack or bale, and is more palatable, more digestible and has greater feeding value. Whether you sell your hay or feed it, your profits arc increased when you adopt this system of making hay. It does not cost you any­ thing extra to air-cure hay. You mcr#)y use a Dain System Rake. The Dain System Rake is the best for this purpose. It is the easiest to operate and you can handle the heaviest hay because, with the inclined frame, the capacity is the greatest where the quantity oY -hay handled is largest Drop in and look over the Dain System Rakes we have in etoek.

Always Ask for Genuine “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin” The Company set not, not to find a way to make gasoline prices higher, but to keep them low in the face of the enormous demands made by the automobihsts. which in the average industry would have caused abnormal increases in price. The efficiency of the Standard Oil Company in making a constantly increasing number of by­ products has kept down the price of gasoline and enabled the man of modest means to run an automobile.after he got it. . ■ Only Aspirin Tablets with, the safety I “Bayer Cross” on them are genuine '“Bayer Tablets nf Aspirin.” owned ami made by Americans and proved I safe by million* of people. Unknown | quantities of fraudulent Aspirin Tab­ lots were sold recently by a Brooklyn 'dealer which proved to be composed ; of Talcum Powder. “Bayer Tablets of'Aspirin” should ' alway* In- a*ked for. Then look for ike safety “Bayer Cross’ on the pack 1 age and on each tablet. Accept noth­ ing else! Proper directions and dosago in each Bayer package. Aspirin is the trade mark of IJayor Manufacture of Monoaceticaeideater of | Balieylieacid.

Do you spray your live stock against flies and body vermin? This is the particular time of the year that you should give this your consideration. Dairymen have long ago concluded it was to their interest to spray cows. More milk will be obtained through the fly time with less feed. Zenoleum, Cow-Ease, and Krcso-Dip will turn the trick for you. Live stock sprayed witjh these preparations can feed in peace. You can use it to kill body vermin—it won’t gum the hair. Also can be used as a spray in the stable and chicken house. In short it makes you money and is indispensible to the farmer. Sold in four sizes—Pts., Qts., 1-2 Gal. and Gallons. Guaranteed Fly Spray, 75c per gallon. The Prescription Drug Store Phone 2115 B. A.

The important and essential thing is to care for and gather them with maximum speed and efficiency, and at minimum cost. Appreciating all this, and being 'determined to give the farmers of Barry County the best possible service in these very urgent and important days, when cfop-caring and crop har­ vesting are so vital to them, we announce, with every confidence that we can and will “make good,” the fine service which we are under­ taking to render you. It goes without saying that, with farm labor so scarce and expensive, FARM' MACHINERY must be used this year as never before. We have the exclusive agency for Hastings of the recognized best makes of farm machinery —made by the largest manufacturers of such machinery, a Company with the largest resources, the best equipment for manufacturing, the greatest reputation in its lines, of any institution in the world. Its product is the last word in efficient and economical operation, durability and easy handling, it has studied the farmer s needs as has no other organization, has met th£m in a far superior way, ard has made plans as no other can to give SERVICE to the farmer in just such a year as this when Service Counts So Much. The Company we represent is a household word among the farmers of America.—It is the International Harvester Company's Line of FARM MACHINERY WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A CARLOAD OF DEERING and McCORMICK Mowers and Binders MADE BY THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. WE KEEP IN STOCK THE INTERNATIONAL LINES OF Keystone Hay Loaders ■ Keystone Hay Rakes International Cultivators One thing every Farmer should bear in mind is the ease of get­ ting whatever may be needed in the line of REPAIRS We aim to keep in stock at our elevator a complete line of REPAIRS for all makes and models of Interna­ tional Farm Machinery. But if we should be temporarily out of any kind of these Repairs, the International Co. maintains a big stock of Repairs-at each of their immense Warehouses at GRAND RAPIDS, JACKSON and DE­ TROIT, and a wire or telephone order from us will bring anything on the first mail or express team from either of these points. Nearly every other Company has only one warehouse in the state and none of them keep such a stock of repairs as does the International at any one of these three places. " It Makes a Big Difference to YOU. Mr. Fanner, when you have to have Repairs in a hurry, whether you can get them in a few hours, as you can from us. or have to wait days till they can be sent from some distant warehouse, or from the manufacturer, and in the meantime your crop is certain to suffer. / THE SYSTEM Therefore the system which the up-to-date farmer should follow in these days is to have farm tools that are made by a manufacturer doing a big volume of business—the larger the better—and there­ fore with a reputation to sustain: and who maintains repair ware­ houses easy of access to the farmer. The International Co. are far and away the largest makers of farm tools in the world: have the reputation of making the best .tools at reasonable prices;.have many times more warehouses for repairs that are convenient to their patrons. And they give’SERVICE at all times. When you come to town, let us tell you about the International Lines of Tools, and how we can MAKE IT AN OBJECT TO YOU TO BUY THEM OF US. We can show you easily how buying your farm tools of us is to YOUR advantage. Edmonds Brothers CAREY U. EDMONDS, Proprietor. BARRY COUNTY’S BIG ELEVATOR. HASTINGS, MICH.

Many of these children have bright-, active minds, and would become useful citizens, except for the fact that they have got started on the r.. ’g track .With the idea of finding a home for Juvenile Delin­ quents, the Board of Supervisors, through this Commit tec, will receive bids for keeping them.

PROMPTLY ln-romc a blew gan THESE QUESTIONS Then Do a Little Thinking The trouble with too many of ua is that we do not give enough considera­ tion to our financial affairs.-We get money and go ahead and spend it, think­ ing 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 statement sums up the life experience of a large number of peo­ ple. The AIM of this Bank is to be HELPFUL—to render genuine SERV­ ICE. That’s a PART OF OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in try­ ing 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?” We can HELP YOU get in a better financial condition. Open a Savings Account with us, and add to it as much as you can each week or month. At the end of the FIRST YEAR you will see how EASY it is to GET AHEAD and KEEP AHEAD. We will always be glad to advise with you, or ren­ der you any service that we can. , 4 state.

Not having his address we arc answering the inquiry here. When the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) began manufacturing .gasoline the surest, safest, most practical method known^for determining the quality of the product was by testing it with a hydrometer. In those days all of the crude oil used came from a single locality. It was of the same base always ar.d the products refined from jt were uniform. As the industry grew and X»il wells were found in widely separated localities it was discovered that the crude varied so greatly even when taken from wells in the same locality that the hydrometer no longer could be depended upon to indicate the quality of the refined product with salisfactory^xactness. Some other system ot measurement had to be used, z The chemical engineers employed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), who were asked to solve the problem, suggested that the boiling points of the seveial tractions, which go to make gasoline, would give the desired result They would be constant and the useful­ ness of the product would not vary so long as the range of boiling point fractions remained unchanged. The practical usefulness of the suggestion was instantly recognized, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) immediately adopted it as the basis of their manufacturing practice. By making its product conform to the boiling point standard, it was possible to guarantee uniform results at all times, even though the* hydrometer might show variation in gravity. We know uniformity is of the most vital importance to the ultimate consumer. Tljat is why wb insist that gravity is of no value in determining the value of gasoline as a fuel, because it can not indicate the gaps. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is stead­ fast in its endeavor to render the greatest service possible to the motopng public and it is constantly trying to so improve the fuel and oils it sells as to give to its patrons a gretftcr value for the money they spend with it A Standard Oil Company .

Pres­ ent—Boys to Keep Accurate ’ Account of Expenditures. r To have a checking account is NOT a hobby. There’s a reason for it. It is wise and IT PAYS. You can pay your bills by check, which we return 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 you 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. • 1 at Crrw.-vy, Thur-dhy evening.

In short, paying your bills by check enables you to keep track of all your 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. If you have never tried it you will be surprised at how easy it is to keep track of your expenses, and to KNOW where your money goes—and what it goes for.

Many men and women can look back to their childhood when an ill-fitting shoe caused .such discomfort and- later they discovered they must go through life with certain foot ailments which might’have been avoided if they had been properly fitted when children.

A State Law provides that each County must provide a home for its Juvenile Delinquents until their cases are disposed of. Barry County has no^uch place, and up to this time all Juvenile Delinquents here and elsewhere h6d to be confihed in the County Jails, along with criminals and law-breakers, and this has had the effect throughout the State of adding to the number of criminals. These delinquent children must be cared for and given good homes, pending the disposal of their cases. There are doubtless many people who would be glad to help these children and provide them a good home, the County standing the expense. Many of these children have bright, active minds, and would become useful citizens, except for the fact that they have got started on the wrong trackf With the idea of finding a home for Juvenile Delin­ quents, the Board of Supervisors, through this Commit­ tee, will receive bids for keeping them.

Mr. mid Mrs. .Ben Bunnell uf Knlninuroo -[wm Saturday n A glass of Near Beer, cold, perspiring and invigorating, is at once an appetizer, and satisfies the appetite it provokes, because it is nourishing and is both meat and drink. For luncheon, for the evening meal, or when camping there is nothing so appetizing, so restful, so altogether satisfying, as a glass of the Near Beer vou can buy here. This with a couple of Sandwiches will be found a nourish­ ing. sustaining meal, of the kind you CR/XVE FOR during hot, torrid days, when your appetite is “fickle”—when you crave for something, but don’t know what it is. •' For the Camping Party; for the workmep in the fields; or for home use, ‘ a case or more of our Near Beer will be found most satisfactory.

You can pay your bills by check, which we return 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.1 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 you 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 check enables you to keep track of all your expenditures. Many individuals and many firms "fall dowp" 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. If you have never tried it you will be surprised at how easy it is tb keep track of your expe'nses, and to KNOW wherej your money goes—and what it goes for. Ed.

Everything In Jewelry Systematic Saving For reliable and »erv- Prevents Want and Dependence A Bank’s dealings with its patrons are PRIVATE and are not to be discussed. But it will not be violating any confidence to say that more peo­ ple are Saving Money today than ever before. ‘ "Experience" is the greatest Teacher in the world, and people more than ever before, are coming to realize that if they EVER join the ranks of the successful ones; if they ever hope to place themselves above the conditions of WANT and DEPENDENCE in their old age, that they MUST com­ mence SAVING MONEY during the period of their lives while their EARNING "POWER" is unimpaired. If we could point out to you as examples, some of the young men, young women, and married people, who are patrons of this Bank,' and show you what they have really accomplished through SYSTEMATIC SAVING evqry week or month, it would open your eyes not only to the wisdom of th® courses they have followed, but would also emphasize the advantages this Bank affords to all who wish to follow a similar plan. • LET GEORGE DO IT’ ONE CASE Or SCAI CEO.

But despite the fact that more people? are SAVING MONEY today than ever before, there are still a large number of young men, young women, and even married people, earning good, large wages, but spending their money as fast asjhey earn it—and sometimes faster. They haven’t given the ques­ tion of SAVING money now, while their earning power is at its best, the consideration they should.

When you buy a Cigar or Smoking Tobacco you are entitled to receive the. BEST VALUE for your money. That is conceded. When you buy a Cigar that is all dried out; that “powders" in your mouth when you bite the end off; that may have been kept on an open shelf where dust, dirt and filth settle down on the open box. do you think that you are getting the best value? No you are not! In order to be RIGHT, a Cigar must be KEPT RIGHT, and you do NOT get "value received" unless the Cigar you buy is KEPT RIGHT. Selling Cigars and Tobaccos is OUR BUSINESS, and we are fully EQUIPPED to do it RIGHT. Our stock is kept in zinc lined.,dust-proof cases that are practically "air-tight.* By means of an automatic attachment, the temperature in these cases is always kept at just a cer­ tain degree. This temperature keeps our Cigars JUST MOIST ENOUGH. That's the reason you never get a Cigar that is all dried out or covered with dust when you buy here. This is a part of the extra SERVICE we give which COSTS YOU NOTHING, but at the same time gives you more SATISFACTION for your money.

VALLEY CITY MILLING CO Grand Rspids, Mich. BANNER �THE HASTINGS BANNER PART TWO Thursday, July 24, 1919 Everything In Jewelry Systematic Saving For reliable and serv- Prevents Want and Dependence . A Bank’s dealings with its patrons are PRIVATE and are not to be discussed. But it will not be violating any confidence to say that more peo­ ple are Saving Money today ihan ever before. "Experience” is the greatest Teacher in the world, and people more than ever before, are coming to realize that if they EVER join the ranks of the successful ones; if they ever hope to place themselves above the conditions of WANT and DEPENDENCE in their old age, that they MUST com­ mence SAVING MONEY during the period of their lives while their EARNING "POWER" is unimpaired. If we could point out to you as examples, some of the young men, young women, and married people, who are patrons of this Bank, and show you what they have really accomplished through SYSTEMATIC SAVING evkry week or month, it would open your eyes not only to the wisdom of the courses they have followed, but would also emphasize the advantages this Bank affords to all who wish to follow a similar plan. But despite the fact that more people are SAVING MONEY today than ever before, there are still a large number of young men, young women, and even married people, earning good, large wages, but spending their money as fast as they earn it—and sometimes faster. They haven’t given the ques­ tion of SAVING money now, while their earning power is at its best, the consideration they should. . It is to them that this advertisement is especially directed, and this Bank is able to help them. Why. not come in and talk over a plan for SYSTEMATIC SAVING? l«Og •LET GEORGE DO IT” GEO. M.

We bake them in such large quantities that we can sell tht^m to you at about the same price that it would cost you to bake them ypurself.

A savings bank saves only money—but an ELECTRIC IRON saves a groat deal more. It Ibves time, steps, trouble und health. ‘ A vastly bigger job than the savings bank that sav^ money only. To iron the old fashioned way means a hot stove and a hot kitchen; it means three or four heavy irons to be dragged to the stove and then dragged back and forth from ironing board to stove, time and time again until the ironing is jjnished and you are exhausted. An Electric Iron does away with all this. When you have one of these household helps it is just necessary to screw a plug into the nearest lamp socket, and iron. And—you can iron anywhere, in any room, even .on lhe porch, all you need u a lamp socket. Think of that!

These undisputable FACTS herald a lesson to every young man; every young woman, and to EVERY FAMILY. 1 hat lesson is the NECESSITY of THRIFT. * Earning money is not a difficult task especially in these days. The GREATEST “TEST’’ is the spending of money WISELY, and with a sys­ tematic ‘‘plan,’’ that will enable any young man, young woman, or family to lay by a certain sum EVERY WEEK, or EVERY MONTH, for the “rainy days" that are sure to come. Qld age. sickness, loss of employment and death will come to YOU just as they do to people with larger incomes. Why not be financially PREPARED? Saving is NECESSARY. This Bank can HELP YOU on the road to THRIFT and financial IN­ DEPENDENCE, as it has thousands ofothers. But it is up to YOU toTet us . do it. Why not come in and talk it over with us? 1 Hrv.

The man or woman who cannot or will not give a moment’s attention to the happy- smiling faces of the cpildren they meet.along life’sWalks: or stop for a brief spel| to enjoy childhood’s music and mirth, is a confirmed "grouch," and has no place of importance in humanity’s scheme. Some people are really kind at heart but have become ’’grouchy” through irregular and improper eating, eating poorly prepared foods or foods incorrectly cooked. Bad stomachs caused by indigestion produce more "grouches ’ . than any other one/thing. The incidental “g’rouch,” the casual "grouch,” the spasmodic "grouch,” the confirmed "grouch" and the all-® year-round "grouch" in mojft cases can all trace their "grouchy" condition to indigestion. . Properly baked goods, and properly cooked foods w ill go a long way toward doing away with the "grouch." THE STAR BAKERY CO. W. R. JAMIESON, Mgr.

The comptn^'i Hundreds of people are residing in almost every community who are not 'yet familiar with the advantages offered them by the banks in their home town. We believe this is true of Barry County. We believe there are many people in Hastings and Barry County who do not realize the advantages we are offering them by our maintaining and operating the strong, accommodating institution which we do and that's why we are telling about these two departments of our bank. 1 Savings Department Commercial Department Young men, young women apd others, we wish to urge you to start a Savings Account with us now. Dd not put off any longer so important a matter as the beginning to save systematically—it is SO EASY to . procrastinate in this matter—but time goes on. A few dollars left with us will begin earning you something at once and by adding a few dollars now and then you will very soon have a neat sum of money accumulated for some future use or for the expected rainy day which is sure to come. Many a nice, fortune has been started by the first small deposit of $1.00 and then by adding to this be­ . ginning and having the interest compounded semi­ annually. the way we do at our bank, the Account has grown, until the depositor has a good sum to in­ vest >n some paying business. . Every dollar deposited In our savings department will earn you 3 per cent interest compounded aemi-^ annually. . Every per.-son who has bills to pay—(and who has not?) should have a commercial checking account with us and should pay all accounts by check. Paying accounts by check is the best possible way to make payments. Many'an error has beep pre­ vented and many u loss saved by the use of a check instead of currency. If money is lost the finder if un­ scrupulous may use it, or the finder may never, be able to discover the loser. If a.check for the same amount is lost, the maker can be known by the sig­ nature and though the finder be unscrupulous the maker of-the check can cancel payment. There are many other conveniences in having an open checking account with us. Our advice is i)e* posit your money with our strong bank and let us furnish you with one of our neat check bboka and from now on PAY by .check. Keep your money where you krfbw ty is safe frpm burglars and fire and protected by our $800,000 .resources. Hastings City Bank The Bank That Does Thing, for You —Hastings. Mich- PHONE 2103 . Were you ever disappointed with your Home-made Preserves? Even the beat recipe can’t make allowances for the way sugar will harden into candy—or for the failure of a jelly "jell". Thousands of women are finding- the ideal preserving syrup is a blend of % Karo (Red Label) with % sugar— instead of all sugar. Preserving done this way is always uniform—jelly that really "jells”—jam that is neither too syrupy nor too thick. z It gives you preserves with the natural fresh fruit flavor. This fine, clear Karo Syrup has a natural affinity for • the juices of the fruit. It blerids the fruit with the sugar— makes your syrup rich and heavy, and holds jams and jellies firm and mellow, with not the slightest tendency to “candy” in the glass. , For Cooking, Baking and Candy Making Karo (Red Label) is used in millions of homes. In all cooking and baking recipes use Karo instead of sugar. It is sweet, of delicate flavor, and brings out the natural flavor of the food.

Buick Motor Company pf Flint, Michigan, have just sprung a big surprise • upon the Motor Cur industry of this country, in announcing a reduction in the price • of Buick rmiiiir parts. This is an’ynusual announcement at this time, when nearly all manufacturers are making'price advances in nearly all of their products. HASTINGS TRANSFER GO. Offici P' ci " J'"n Due to the improved manufacturing facilities, the establishing of repair parts stocks among their dealers (this means hundreds of individual stocks) and the pur­ chasing of. raw materials in the largest quantities has made it possible! to reduce the prices niton a large portion of Buick repair parts. The price reduction upon some of the essential parts ranges from 15' to 35f, thereby giving to each.owner an advantage that will be extremely beneficial to all.

EPOCH. .Altfliaasw.' The'Jiuick Motor Company has always'maintained close co-operation with their owner.-. through the different factory departments and likewise through their deal­ ers’ organization. Prompt service to owners has been an important factor of their business.'In requiring that the needs of each owner are skillfully taken care of and that efficient service'is rendered, , r Instead of devoting all of their time to the manufacture of Buick Automobiles, tli'1 Buick Motor Company has been equipping themselves to increase their parts st-rvici- todheir thousands of daily users, thereby enabling the owner to hold his . up-kccp vo.'t tv a minimum. ' • Large‘repair parts distributing departments are established in each Slate, , through which the dealer’s stocks are kept up to the maximum. Special travelers regularly go ov.-r each district monthly, checking up each and every stock so that prompt service can be rendered upon a minute’s notice. One can readily see the important advantages that such an organization iHfords Io th; Buick tourist and local owner. Over-crowding the factory with small orders is eliminated and replaced by shipments in car-load lots to dealers and distributing points, thus causing a considerable saving in transportation and handling. •In nearly all manufacturing plants, repair parts are made right along with their product, but such is'hot the case,with Buick parts. These are manufactured in separate plants built especially for this purpose and divorced entirely from Hie building of Motor Cars. This enables the factory to devote their entire time to repair parts construction - and are not. compelled to curtail or stop manufheture io give preference to the construction of new motor cars. Improvement ami efficient equipment together with the proper organization has made it possible for the Buick factory to render this valuable service to their own­ er.- in the reduction of part prices, while some concerns are being forced*to make increases. ’ Hastings Buick Co. ■ Phone 2468 - AGENTS , 220 E.

Two Profitable Bank Ideas That Will Help Make You Independent • MI.WHI.tHI .ad but bring !<-»• WML* than Hundreds of people are residing in almost every community who are not yet familiar with the advantages offered them by the banks in their home town. We believe this is true of Barry County. We believe there are many people in Hastings and Barry County who do not realize the advantages we are offering them by our maintaining and operating the strong, accommodating institution which we do and that’s why we are telling about these two departments of our bank. ’ Jtik:. Under such conditions the man on the job has no time to go to town, even to get necessary supplies, and no. one on the place can’ be spared for that purpose.- He has learned that he can depend upon this delivery service, and thjit the Standard Oil man will deliver his kerosene, gasoline and lubricating oil not only to his door, but. if needs be, to the tractor in the field—there are 150,000 tractors in the Middle II ’est. ’ This is the reason for the harmonious, , close, friendly relations which always has existed between the Standard Oil* Com­ pany (Indiana) and the fanners of the Middle West. Also this is another reason why the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) takes pride hi its position as a public servant, doing an exacting job as well as it knows how. to the distinct advantage of the man who raises the crops, and the millions who eat them.

Young men, young women and others, we wish to urge you to start a Savings Account with us now. Do not put otf any longer so important a matter as the beginning to save systematically—it is SO EASY to procrastinate in this matter—but time goes on. A few dollars left with us will begin earning you something at once and by adding a few dollars now and then you will very , soon have a neat sum of money accumulated for some future use or for the expected rainy day which is sure to come. Many a nice fortune has been started by the first - small deposit of $1.00 and then by adding to this be­ ginning and having the interest compounded semi­ annually. the way we do at our bank, the account has grown until the depositor has a good sura to in­ vest in some paying business. ’ Every dollar deposited in our savings department will, earn you 3 per cent interest compounded semi­ annually. ru and in every other,coun­ try in the world, they nyv more than ■ration in Gerre‘ fiued uti the spot fur the 'hundred pound* uf baggage: <i^iih>t rjirv iu year band.

Many an error has been pre­ vented and many a loss sav^-tf by the use of a check instead of currency. If money is lost the finder, if un­ scrupulous may use it, or the finder may never be able to discover the loser. If a check for the same amount is lost, the maker can be known by the Sig­ nature and though the finder be unscrupulous the maker of the check can cancel payment. There are many other conveniences in having an open checking account with us.

Karl l< The Hastings High School, and the High School at Albert l^ea, Minne­ sota, a city several times as large as Hastings, have been recognized by the United States Department of Agribulture as the Two BEST High Schools in the Country, for the promotion of Agriculture. The U. S. Government even went so far as to send an expert photographer here to make pictures of the building and all of the various departments in it, and these pictures are being shown all over the country in the form of “slides” made from them. No higher word of praise could possibly be given than this, and the ' intelligent, progressive- citizenship of Hastings can well feel proud,, and amply repaid for the large sum of money they have voluntarily paid out to advance the cause of education, and to give their sons and daughters, and the sons and daughters of the pedple of the entire county, a good education. You can’t do anything better for your son, or your daughter, than giv­ ing him, or her, a good education. Experience too often proves that it is un­ wise to give them money when they are unfitted to receive it, because they are. too apt to part with it.. But they can’t lose their education, and it remains with them to help them over the rough spots. The Hastings High School offers most complete and efficient prepara­ tion to boys and girls who wish to get ready for College, Normal School or Business. All Graduates upon recommendation of the Principal are re­ ceived by all Colleges and Universities without examination.

James Underhill ADMINISTRATOR. COL. ROSS BURDICK. Auctioneer. CLARE THORPE. Clerk. News for the Housewife at Preserving Time SHULTZ. Here is a recipe for preserving syrup that will give you finer jams, jellies and preserves—and ^pve you about onehalf your trouble. « Instead of all sugar use only one-half sugar and one-half Karo (Red Label). You will find this means clear, firm jelly; rich preserves with heavy syrup; and delicious jams, mellow and “fruity”. Karo is a fine, clear syrup, with a natural affinity for the juices of the fruit. ’ > It blends the sugar with the fruit juicc-^brings out all the “fruity” flavor. Furthermore, it prevents even the richest jam or jelly from “candying”. * It does away with all the uncertainty of preserving, and just about cuts the work in half. For cooking, Baking and Candy Making Karo (Red Label} is used in millions of homes. In all cooking and baking recipes use Karo instead of sugar. It is sweet, of delicate flavor, and brings out the natural flavor of the food.

Feeding the Millions Two Profitable Bank Ideas That Will Help Make You Independent NCRE.4SING the food supply of the world is thb most, vital problem which man must solve. The. burden of this . solution rests heavily upon the shoulders of the farmers of America. I The service rendered by. the Standard Oil Company (Indiah&X-in'producing fuel and lubricants for the economical and efficient operation of farm machinery has made it possible for the farmer to culti­ vate a greater acreage, produce larger crops, and get them to market at least expense. .. . By maintaining its comprehensive system of distribution, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana i makes ii possible for the farmer to get his requirements of petroleum products easily, regularly and quickly. By virtue of this complete service on the part of die Standard Oil Company (Ihdiana't, he may. li.cfally, "make hay while the sun shines." He is independent of the health or endur­ ance of horses. He can plow, cultivate or harvest when these tasks should be done. He can have a complete cycle of activity, operating even by shifts, if necessary. He can plan his operations on a definite schedule to produce a steady, constant supply of farm products for you and your family. Thus is illustrated how you .benefit by the service rendered by the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana* to the farmer.

Every person who has bills to pay—(and who has not?) should have a commercial checking account .with us and should pay all accounts by check. nnd grand* BEDFORD M.-irv Tiingati- «-f Banii.-ld hv> n-uj-yd !•» ti-.irh th<- higher mom thi- coming year, pendin ----- returned home MondayThe did Payette home on Main St. r* nnd fntnUv of Bnttle -.in ‘Mr. nnd Mr*. Mhtt . Paying accounts by check is the best putwible way to make puyfnenU. Many an error has been pre­ vented nnd many a loss saved by the use of a check instead of .currency. If money is lost the Antler if un­ scrupulous nuiy 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 sig­ nature and though the finder be unscrupulous the maker of the check can cancel payment. A few dollars left with us will begin earning you something at once and by adding a_few dollars now and then you will very soon have a neat sum of’ ■ money accumulated for some future use or for the expected rainy day which is sure to come. Many a nice fortune has been started by the first ’ small deposit of $1.00 and then by adding to this be­ ginning and having the interest compounded semi­ annually. the way we do at our bank, the account has grown until the depositor has a good |um to in­ vest in ?ome paying business. . Every dollar deposited in our savings department will earn you 3 per cent interest compounded semi­ annually. 5 There are many other conveniences in having an open checking account with us. Our advice is de­ posit your money with our strong bunk and let us furnish you with one of our neat check books und from now on PAY by. check. Keep your money where you know it is safe frorii burglars and fire and protected by our $800,000 resources.

S. Department of Agriculture Thinks of the Hastings High School . The Hastings High -School, and the High School at Albert L^a, Minne­ sota, a city several times as large as Hastings, have been recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture as the Two BEST High Schools in the Country for the promotion of Agriculture. The U; S. Government even went so far as to send an expert photographer here to make pictures of the building and all of the various departments in it, and these pictures are being shown all over the country in the form of "slides" made from them. No higher word of»praise could possibly be given than this, and the intelligent, progressive citizenship of Hastings can well feel proud, and amply repaid for the large sum of money they have voluntarily paid out to advance the cause of education, and to give their sons and daughters, and the sons and daughters of the people of the entire county, a good education. Your can’t do anything better for your son, or your daughter, than giv­ ing him, or her. a good education. Experience too often proves that it is un­ wise to give them money, when they are unfitted to receive it, because they are too apt to nart with it. But they can’t lose their education, and it remains with them to help them over the rough spots. The Hastings High School offers most complete and efficient prepara­ tion to boys and girls who wish to get ready for College, Normal School or Business. All Graduates upon recommendation of the Principal are re­ ceived by all Colleges and Universities without examination.

Mpu “Burning the Midnight Oil” The shipping of Live Stock is one of the important departments of our business, and in this line we are able to render our patrons GENUINE SERVICE. - We have always been interested in the raising of stock and we are NOW. Since we have Entered the Elevator Business we have had the opportunity to observe the live stock markets nf the world very closely, and having stock of our own to sell, we have carefplly investigated the matter of the BEST. The POLICY of this Elevator is to do a large VOLUME of business. The LARGER the VOLUME the more it helps to cut down our GENERAL EXPENSE. All that we ask is a very reasonable profit on each transaction we make, and depend upon VOLUME of business to return us a good living margin. Tor this reason we are willing to do business with you, and for you, on any basis you HAT, literally, is the reason why the American has won the proud distinction of being the best edu­ cated man in the world. T Because a'cheap, dependable illuminating oil made from petroleum was develojied first in the United States, the people of this country had the opportunity of study­ ing late into the.night long before such luxury was possible elsewhere. We will ship your Live Stock for you for-7 CENTS PER HUNDRED POUNDS. We will ADVANCE YOU 75 per cent of the estimated value of the stock if you wish us to. You will have to admit that this price is very reasonable for the SERVICE we give you. Or if you wish to SELL, we. will pay you the highest market prices for your Live Stock delivered nt the Stock Yards. i It^is immaterial to us which one of these plans you ship by. All that we/ask is that you give us a chance to let you know what we'll do. In either case you’ll get a good square deal, and the benefit of our experience ^nd service; Call and let's talk it over. The petroleum industry, in which the Standard Oil Company was a pioneer, has made it possible, even in remote places, tor man to read, study and acquire knowl­ edge in comfort, after the day’s work i> done.'

Ano.thcr ynp'.rtant advantage is the low-down feature ot the mounting. The feed table is at a’.ery convenient height so that the operator can feed the machine without standing on a platform.

The endless apron hf the self-feed table is composed of hardwood slate riveted on two steel chains, A sprocket wheel secured to a separate shaft directly in rear of lower feed roll propels these chains. The lower feed roll and self-feed belt are driven from the same shaft but each is driven by its own .sprocket wheel anil chain. This reduces strain on driyb chain which prolongs its life and saves power. An adjustable shaft located on rear end of table mak<$ it possible to keep the endless belt always taut. .

Be honest-HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT? The Drudgery and Unnatural Heat are so Unnecessary Gas and Electric Appliances Make the Home Comfortable Our The Family Washing means drudgery, plain and rimplc, if done the old way.

NET The Most Food Value for 25c .erro^i At Your Grocer’s At Your Grocer’s A Product of the Walton Milling Company Lansing, Michigan �The Home-Making Woman Who Bakes Is the one who has the successful husband, affectionate children and the respect of the community. In these modern times of stress and struggle and the High Cost of Living she is a “pearl beyond price.” And if all women were like her old High Cost of Living would be a myth. For this woman R. T. French & Sons are devoting all their energies. They are manufacturing flour especi­ ally, particularly and solely for the Woman who bakes in the home. Forty years of experience and the best efforts of three generations of the French family of millers have been devoted to this work. . Waste of food material in these days is almost criminal and to buy flour that is not dependable results in throwing away food that is spoiled in the baking. You will save food, money, time and temper if you buy FRENCH’S FEOUR White Lily . And every woman owes it to herself, her family and her country to do all these things. Any woman can make good bread, biscuits, cake or pas­ try if she will use French’s Flour. . And she can do it by following the directions of any standard, reliable recipe. . French’s Flour is made under conditions that permit the . closest attention to all the details of manufacture by the head miller—the man whose knowledge and “knack" gWes to flour its character, its quality, its flavor and uniformity. It is an all around flour—made to suit every need of the housewife and to produce perfect results in all branches of cookery. French’s Flour is made under sanitary conditions, inclosed machinery being used throughout the process, and it is packed in tightly sealed sanitary sacks. . ' if It makes the best tasting things you ever ate. The rich, meaty, nutty flavor of Michigan’s choicest'wheat is evi­ dent in everything it makes. If you do not find it of better flavor,better texture and more uniform in re­ sults than any flour you have ever used, your dealer will cheerfully refund the purchase price. Our guarantee is on every sack. It is on sale throughout the state of Michigan and dealers are glad to sell and recommend it. If your dealer should be out he can get it quickly from our nearest distributor. There is only one best flour for you. French's Flour is proving the one best for thousands of women.

County News LEMON JUICE TAKES.OFF TAN From Four Feet to Four Wheels HE retail merchant s spb 2 of usefulness is shntpk -de­ fined by his ability to »»»al e prompt delivery. T In the days before motor trucks came into general use, his progress was injured, not by his vision, initiative or merchandizing ability, but by the speed and endurance of horse flesh. With the automobile and truck came a constantly widening field of activity — quicker deliveries were possible. A widcifed service meant more and better satis­ fied customers and the merchant was able to expand his business to. the utmost. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been an important factor in making this expansion possible. By anticipating the demands Tor gasoline and lubricating oil, it was prepared to supply these necessary products to merchants, even in remote places. Further, the very feature of wide distri­ bution and low price of gasoline has enabled the small merchant to utilize power-driven delivery. Thus has the Standard Oil Companj' (Indiana) been an important factor in the expansion of business by helping the little merchant to become big, and the people.in remote corners td’havc the ad­ vantages of cities. How well the Company has functioned inay.be judged by its size, for no concern could have reached the proportions of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) without rendering an important and . definite service, to the public.

Sprague, Buick Sedan for Seven THE BUICK Model K-Six-50 four-door Sedan is the latest develop­ -' ment in closed car design. The front seat, instead of being divided, is full width, giving additional roominess to passengers and providing an extra brace to the body which adds considerably to its stability. The latest type of cowl and side lamps, tilting steering wheel and satin finished interior trimmings are featured in this Sedan. The lining is done in rich plush, without binding. Altered lines and low-hung body give added grace to the exterior without sacrificing head-room. The main compartment accommodates two disappearing seats, which are built for genuine comfort. Silkshades on rollers afford privacy or shut out a too ardent sun. Ven­ tilation is controlled by the adjustable windows and windshield, the door windows being fitted with patent handles for raising or lowering them. Suitable lights give interior illumination. Lowered seats give greater riding comfort. (When Better Automobiles Are Built BUICK Will Build Them Hastings Buick Agency 320 E. State St. Geo, W, Quirk, Prop. Prop.

Then he decided to market brains. His price was $75,000 a year. The difference between brain and muscle ia the difference between success and failure, between independence and dependence. Brains with character come high; without character, medium; character without brains is not in de­ mand. Muscle and character are listed low; muscle without character is a drug on the mar­ ket.

R., also on Michigan Railway Electric; reached from Grand Rapids (32 minutes) Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and other points. We have planned for three years to hold a Grand Dispersal Sale on Sept. 30, 1919, which date is my 50th birthday anniversary. We will also sell a part of the Cutler farms, of which I have 7, from 40 to 240 acres each. We have endeavored to build up our herd by using first class sires. For five years our sire waj a splendid individual, son of Sweet Friend Aaggie, Michigan’s First 31 lb. Cow For three years our junior sire was a faultless individual, grandson of King of the Pontiacs, whose dam, Clarice Pieteitje— 23.67 lbs. butter from 520 lbs. milk in 7 days—has in her breeding two 30 lb. cows, each ofAvhom heads a three generation 30 lb. family. Then, realizing that there is always a great demand for the best, I decided to supplement this already high class breeding by mating my herd to a sire representing the very Top Notch in Holstein aristocracy. Accordingly on July 18, 1918, The Mighty Rag Apple No. 191800 made his home at the Cutler farms where he has-been making history ever since. The Mighty Rag Apple is a splendid $10,000 son of The Great World Renowned Rag Apple Komdyke8th Ah « At.the time of the sale there willkr. be90 20 young sons and daughters of THE MIGHTY RAG APPLE and 55 cows and heifers of excellent breeding and type bred to him.

Six granddaughters of Colantha Johanna Lad, who has 2^ daughters with 30 lbs. to Jb lbs butter and 30 • daughters with 600 lbs. to-750 lbs. milk in seven d<jys. Remember, all .of these are bred to the Mighty Rag Ap­ ple whose sire and brother recently sold at auction for the princely sum of $185,000. A wonderful opportunity to get six beautiful calves representing the blood of two of absolutely the greatest bulls living or dead: namely, Colantha Johanna Lad and Rag Apple Korndyke 8th. REMEMBER—The Mighty Rag Apple has a sister at 3 1-2 years old with a record of 42.42 lbs. butler: an­ other with 44.24 lbs. in seven days; Seven sisters-all above 30 lbs. in seven days. , REMEMBER—The Mighty Rag Apple, through his dam Ormsby Jane Piebe Segis, (38.17 lbs. butter from 669 lbs. milk in seven days) gets 34 3-4‘; of the blood of Ormsby Jane Segis Aaggie?* (46.33 lbs. butter, 879 lbs. milk in seven days and 565.6 lbs. butter from over 10,000 lbs. milk in 100 days.)

TVTO better way could be ■L * found to illustrate and emphasize the usefulness of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), and the broad and varieiTservice it renders, than to take five minutes and imagine a gasless year. Think how our lives instead of being full and complete through association with our felfow men would tie circumscribed by the barriers set up by shank's mare. Think how ninnulncturing would be ham­ pered*. How industry generally would be crippled. Il.ow crops would go to waste through inability to harvest, and the leaps and bounds that the cost of liv­ ing would take. Instead of the natural expansion of busi­ ness that comes from service and useful­ ness, the whole structure of business would be hampered through sheer inabil­ ity to render to society that service which ’ society has been accustomed to demand. The Standard Oil Coriinitny (Indiana) is a public servant owned by 46-W stock­ holders, no .one of whom holds as much as 10 percent of the stocky The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is doing a big job in a big way and has grown great simply by reaping the re­ wards that come from rendering the serv­ ice demanded by business and society in a manner satisfactory and beneficial to the world at large.

System in SAVING Was One of the Great Lessons Of the War Over 20 MILLIONS of people bought more than 22 BILLIONS of dollars worth of Bonds and Thrift Stamps while the war was on. Before the war started there were only 11 MILLIONS of our peo­ ple who had SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. Over 9 MILLIONS of new'savers were created during the war. And not only was th? number of SA VEILS almost doubled, but millions of those who hnd Savings Accounts so increased their ability to ave thnt they were able to ADD TO THEIR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS during the war notwithstanding their liberal buying of Bonds. ***-Jn**»» <»• —♦»*-•-a**-.< ' I A large number of Liberty Loan Subscribers paid fortheir Bonds on either the "Government plan,*' the "Monthly Payment plan," or the "Bank plan" of 10 per cent a month, but in nearly every instance the Boitds were-paid for out of current income. It was “SAVING MONEY"—sppnding LESS than was EARNED. It was one of the wan’s GREATEST lessons in THRIFT. The war cost HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of do liars, saying nothing of the taking of millions of liv. s. While it lasted the sole aim was to DESTRO.Y life hnd property. Before we can reach the financial o.ndition that prevailed before the war, with its attendant conditions, that vast amount of property must be SAVED. That imposes an obligation on ALL OF US. Hut now that the war is over there is a big temptation for all of us to relax in pur efforts to SAVE, and some have stopped entirely. Others have gone still further anil have sold their Bonds and Stamps for things of temporary pleasure and value. Those uho follow this policy have no right to complain of the "High Cost of Living,” which indeed they are helping to perpetuate by buying and using up things that they could just as well get along without. . The world must be fed and clothed; impoverish ed and .war-torn countries must be built up, and this country, which escaped the ravages of war as far as property values go, must take a prominent place in doing it. That means that we must draw upon our productive energies for several years'at least, but a> long as we continue buying stuff that we could do without, we will have "High Cost of Living" with ns. Normal conditions cannot return until our present "fifty-cent” dollar again Jias its old time pur­ chasing power.

Olr (Continued from pngc 1) i kiek one o: in- , ,, .hr-Ch We are not striking for more money, but lower prices. It’s about time somebody starts something doing on a downward grade. We are holding down prices and have been for a long time. In-fact people living in the large cities, such as Battle Creek and Grand Rapids, are touring all the way to Hastings to buy Coats, Blankets, Suits, Underwear and other necessities. Why? Because the merchants of Hastings are selling on a lower margin than any other town in the state. We. carry large stocks, well assorted from standard merchandise, and^when we buy our goods early on a low market, we do not keep on marking them up as the season goes along, but try to sell them as low as possible, allowing a reasonable percentage for doing business. We invite you to visit our different departments; we want your confidence, good will and business. We both lose money the longer you stay away.

We have learned to conserve, to save, and be more economical in every way. Now that Fall is here with the chilly nights and mornings, you will need something to warm the house. A fire in the furnace is too much at this time of year, and a waste of fuel. One of our RADIANTFIRE heaters will be just the right thing. WHAT IT IS. There are two kinds of Raditpitfires. One for use in*a fire place, and the portable type. The glow­ ing heating elements send out cheery warmth, with abso­ lutely no odor. The air remains pure and fresh, which is not the-case with ordinary gas logs or heaters. The cost of operation varies, according to the size of the heat­ er—from three to five cents per hour.

System in SAVING Was One of the Great Lessons of the War Over 20 MILLIONS of people bought more than 22 BILLIONS of dollars worth of Bonds and Tlnift Stamps while the war was on. Before the war started there were only 11 MILLIONS of our peo­ ple who had SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. Over 9 MILLIONS of new savers were created during the war. And not only was the number of SAVERS almost doubled, but millions of those who had Savings Accounts so increased their ability to -aM that they were able to ADD TO THEIR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS during the war notwithstanding their liberal buying uf Bonds. . A large number'of Liberty Ix>an Subscribers paid for their Bonds on either the "Government plan,’ 1 •'* M oil t h IV PllVm»>nt nlnn " nr th,. "Ronlr f in n..r c.int vi month lint In nndrlv nVonv IrwfonAn the Bonds were paid for out of current income. It was "SAVING MONEY"—spending LESS than was EARNED. It was one of the wars GREATEST lessons in THRIFT. The war coat HUNDREDS OF .BILLIONS of do liars, saying nothing of the taking of millions of lives. While it lasted the sole aim was to DESTROY life and property. Before we can reach the financial condition that prevailed before the war. with its attendant conditions, that vast amount- of property must be SAVED. That imposes an obligation on ALL OF US. But now that the war is over there is a big temptation for all of us to relax in our efforts to SAVE, and some have stopped entirely. Others have gone still further nnd have sold their Bonds and Stamps for things of temporary pleasure and value. Those who follow this policy have no right to complain <>f the "High Cost of Living," which indeed they are helping to perpetuate by buying and using up things that they could just as well get along without. The world must be fed and clothed; impoverished and war-tom countries must be built up, and this country, which escaped the ravages of war as far as property values.go, must take a prominent place in doing it. Thnt means that we must draw upon our productive energies for several years at least, but :;s long as we-continue buying stuff that we could do without, we will have “High Cost of Living" with u.i. Normal conditions cannot return until our present "rtfty-cvnt” dollar again has its old time pur­ chasing power.

If you are it need scarcely be explained that success is not an accident, not a case of just happening so. It is in practically every case a matter'of deliberate effort. The young man who expects to succeed must be ready wfyen his day of opportunity shall come, to take advantage of it. And in practically, every case to do this will require more or less ready money. Systematic Saving This bank is here to assist every young man to be ready for his day of op­ portunity. We give to him the privil ege of our saving department, not only to care for the tnoney he saves, but to set that money working for him. We have helped many young men to get a start in life by caring for their savings on an investment basis not rtierely safeguarding their money, but paying\.them 3 per cent interest on it, compounded semi-annually. This Bank aims to be of service to the people of this city and county, not only with our savings, buj: with our commercial departments as well.

But when tobacco is mild and cool, and yet as full of '“fun” as a barrel of monkeys—well, that’s another storV—that’s Velvet ' N And ’cause why? ’Cause VelvetNs brought up—not jerked up by tho hair. It’s raised as careftaly as a favorite child. It’s cured in the big; fresh air.’ And it mellows away for two years in v/oodon hc^sheads ’til it’s smooth and .rich a^cream.

This was by far the BEST year in the history of the Company. The full account of this year’s growth cannot be told until the books are closed on Dec. 31st. But so far this year we have written over Twen­ ty Three Millions of Insurance ....... $23,000,000.™ From this $23,000,000 we have written this year, is to be deducted the cancellations. But as we are still writ­ ing insurance every day, our growth this year will doubtless equal and probably exceed last year’s record. Every loss has been promptly paid, and the Company most economically managed. H WHAT A, CYCLONE DID TO THE HOME OF MRS. HARWOOD IN LEELANAU CO.. MICH. INSURANCE AGAINST-CYCLONES AND WINDSTORMS IS JUST AS NECESSARY AS ANY OTHER FORM OF INSURANCE We now have OVER 70,000 MEMBERS, and the same number of Accounts oh our books. Sending out no­ tices to members, receipts, and necessary correspondence constitutes a volume of business that is simply staggering. But -with the new and up-to-date SYSTEM that we have installed, everything in connection with the business is transacted quickly and accurately. For instance under the old system it would take 12 girls 4 weeks to prepare the notices alone, at a cost of $576. This year one girl (|ot out ail of the notices in 18 days at a cost of $45.

Smoking ooaccos On account of strikes and labor troubles in Tobacco factories, it Inis become in­ creasingly difficult to get stocks. However we anticipated the wants of our cus­ tomers, placed large orders, and in most instances secured deliveries, so "that we are able to give patrons most anything they wish. Our lines of Smoking Tobaccos are especially complete, and our stocks are kept in zinc-lined, dust-proof cabinets where the temperature is always kept at just a certain degree. Every customer is therefore assured that what he buys here will be in the best possible condition, and will give the best SATISFACTION for the money. Here are just a few of the more important lines of Smoking Tobacco we carry: I “Prince Albert" in 10c packages, 15c tins and pound cans. "Velvet” in 15c tins, half-pound and one pound cans. "Tuxedo” in 10c packages, 15c tins, and half-pound and one pound cans. "Stag" in 10c tins. "Central Union" in 15c tins. ‘‘Lucky Strike” in 15e tins.

With sad hearts they saw themjnarch away in squads, day by day, knowing quite well they might never return.

Orlenrr The Greatest Improvement In Riding Comfort Since The Introduction of Pneumatic Tires ( TTERE Is a Ibra nd new type of ricar It rolves the pmbleiA ,-hlch baa baffled nutomotfap cr.Inecrs—how to combine riding with liC-'t weight and ’ccnomy. Cur r.cw Tkree-Poir.t Cantilever 'Hjesc are the ‘springs of their *Elnd and they are made of chrome vanadium steel. They are ‘iclusive with Overland. Because of these springs, Over­ paid 4 combines the riding qual­ ities of large heavy, expensive, long wheelbase cars, together with the advantages and economy of small light cars. • With 100-ineh wheelbase, Over­ land 4 has the luxurious riding ease of 130-inch Springbase. The exclusive, Three-Point Can­ tilever Springs cushion , the. cpr so that It rides welLon all roads: they reduce choppy rebounds .and sice r.wnying, protect the car front road shocks and prolong its life, miui-mizc tvristing or- racking of frame and hixly, enable the car to hold the road better. ‘ . The car and passengers ride srpoothly as though floating, free from road shocks that the springs ward off. But this new riding comfort, pos­ sible only with these Three-Point Cantilever Springs, is but one of the advantages of Overland 4. J;s light weight makes possible great economy of gasoline and tires. High quality materials insure durability. All vital parts of the front axle and steering gear and all highly stressed gears and shafts for driving the car are made of alloy steel. The equipment list of Overland 4 is high grade, including Auto-Lite Starter and Lighting System — Electric Hom—Marshall Divan Up­ holstery Springs — Demountable Rims-Three Speed Transmission —Slanting Rain Vision Windshield —Tillotson Carburetor—U, S. L. Batteries and many other high quality conveniences. In every respect Overland 4 Is a quality car. The body is all steel, all enamel, the brightest, hardest, most fasting finish. Overland 4 has been tested for two years and more than 250,000 miles over the Rocky Mountains, prairies, through deen mud and scorching deserts—through quick sharp climatic changes. As a re wit of these tests we were able to judge the car's performance under every condition and to perfect it before offering it to the public. . There is no previous car of any sUe or price to adequately compare with the character of service Over­ land 4 introduces. The farther you ride in it tho more you will appreciate It. Come in, see the car and ask for booklet. The demand will ba greater than ' the supply for a long time. Overland ITburing, $345; Road­ ster, $845; Coupe, $1325; ’Sedan, $1375. Prices f. o. b. Toledo.

It usually makes it impossible for him to give the service he desires to give to each of his customers. It is absolutely out of the question for him to suggest suitable and appropriate gifts to those who shop in an effort to find something they wish to present to a friend. On the part of those who buy it is not possible for them to find the things they want with ease and com­ fort when shopping is late. Shopping early gives them a chance to look over the Various items in stock and select Just what they want from a fresh and orderly stock. Think These Things Over and Shop Today : ■ . ' ' ' . , / . • , The merchants of Hastings have clean and fairly large stocks to choose suitable gifts from, much larger stocks than are found in small towns. Prices will be found much more at; .2 in Hastings than in the larger cities because of a much lower expense of operating than prevails in hu ge cities Come to Hastings— and Come Early Select from our attractive stocks just the things you wish to give at Christmas l ime.

This business we will continue to operate as an independent drug store. These stores will have an opportunity to render greater service and efficiency to their hun­ dreds of patrons because of this consolidation and its operation under this co-operative plan. Mr. Haywood will have active management of the Hastings Drug Co. ■ Each, store has its own nationally advertised line of special drugs and will maintain these lines. There are none better. . ' In general drugs and all drug store merchandise, we shall often be in a position to buy at con­ siderable advantage and at some saving in cost, which advantage we shall be pleased to pass on to our patrons. ( We not only hope, but expect to continue improving the services of these two splendid drug businesses, and earnestly solicit your most liberal patronage.

NOVEMBER 18, 1B1A ■CNR$ BRQ'l We Delivered Five tini - i s i f, ilium Tunw Put The International Titan 10-20 to Work on Your Farm § | Get Your Work Done on Time-Plow Deeper-Prepare Seed Beds Better-Do More Work with Less Help-Get More i Profit From Your Farm < s The Titan does the work on time—Makes greater grain yields possible-Puts more money in your pocket The tractor pot only Hoes nearly all the work that van bo done by ■ Jiorses, and hi lt work boeides, but it enables’the owner to get that' ’ '•v nk done wheji it should be. Take for instance spring plowing—if i the season is late and a tractor is on' the job, there i.< still a chance to i get the work done on time. The tractor will do as hard a day’s work ■ the first day it js used as at any time of the season. It does not "get I ' soft” during the winter months and ncred to'be rested at the ends when 1 plowing or doing any. other kind of field work. Again, a tractor can . | be used both day and night if the case demands. The same advantage । of the.tractor-holds true for other spring, summer, and fall work. There is always a best time to do farm wonk, a time which will result in get­ ting the greatest yield of all the c?op< A very common expression is: "This piece was planted a little lat»< It is not quite as good as that field over there." No doubt you have heard that saying yourself. Possibly- ■ you have had the same experiem It is a well known fact that a few days or a week-.late in planting, the crop results in considerably smaller • yield. I; is getting the work done on time that counts. With a tractor • you stand a better chance uf getting all the crops planted when they i should be. The tractor will enable you to doyour work ut the best time. I One man can handle a greater amount of power in a tractor than with horses. It is this added power that makes it possible for a man t<» do mure work in the same length of time and to do it al smaller expense, A man on a tractor can easily handle enough power to pull three or four plows, \vhile with -horses two plows is the limit. Take the work of drilling in a grain crop for instance. Suppose a farmer is drilling with fcwo of the largest size drills. Each of those drills would have re­ quired four horses, nnd one man to drive each four-horse team. With the International-Titan 10-20 one man does the work of two. If need he tq get the work done on t'ime, this man could keep, the outfit work­ ing several hours more each day than would be possible with horses. Horses would have to be given frequent rest, and could be used but about ten hours at the best. x Harvest weather, is always hot weather. Frequently horses be­ come overheated in harvest time. When the weather is hot, horses cannot be hurried. Periods of rest must be frequent, but with thtf Inter­ national-Titan 10-20 the harvest can be rushed from start to finish. A few days or even a few hours saved in cutting the grain may mean hun­ dreds of dollars in your pocket. > , t , I Put the Written Guarantee in Your Pocket Did You Ever See as Good a Guarantee Given with Another Make of Tractor? HERE IS THE GUARANTEE The Company further warrants and guarantees that said tractor, under normal conditions, will, after being started, operate and deliver its rated horse power using as fuel either gasoline or kerosene or any other crude oil distillate testing 39degrees Baume or higher, and that when using any such fuel it will do good and serviceable work, if properly adjusted and operated by a competent person.

But now— • The Michigan State Farm Bureau —is organized on. a big basis and is ready to go to work for you. It is ready to meet your needs commercially, legislatively and educationally, and to solve your problems. It is aq organization of farmers, run by farmers for farmers. For it to carry out its broad, vital program of making the business of farming more profitable and attractive, it must have solid support from the farmers of Michigan. * r . v Have You Signed Up With It Yet?

RESPECTED HOME OF MORGAN Information at Hastings Office Federal* and Confederatea Both Re­ frained From Damaging House of Revolutionary Soldier. Join the Farm Bureau . A subscriber who was Interested In the CoiufMtulun'a account of the re•|>ect. shown to Mount Vernun during the Civil wnr has called fn uur atten­ tion to onotlier historic place that re­ ceived similar respect and protection —the home of Gen. Daniel Morgan, of Revolutionary fame. < Durlng^the summer nf 3912, a*y« our friend. I was visiting in the Shen­ andoah valley, nnd in going from Shepherdstown to Harper's Ferry pawed a little vlllnge called Morgan's Grove/ Jly attention was attracted t<» a large, two-story stone house, which I discovered to be the old horn* of Gen. Daniel Morgan, the commander of tbe famous “Morgan Rifle Corps." At that house Col. Morgan organized' bU famous regiment of riflemen and marched to Boston, n distance of six hundred miles, to Join-Washington's army. The men were dreaped In deerakin coats mid eoonvkln caps aud were armed with those long-barreled rifles that they used with such telling effect in the baltlea of tl»e Revolution. Al the bnttle of Saratoga, when Btirgoyne asked why the nfllcera of his army who were killed had been shot In the head, be waa Informed that It was the Morgan riflemen who Were responsi­ ble. He remarked that It was ot no use to tight with such an army and that he might as well surrender. The old stone house nt Morgans Grove stood unmolested during the Civil war. IL>ih Confederate and Fed­ eral soldiers held It In almost sacred reverence. Knrly's men and Sheri­ dan's swept past it on their raids in the valley, yet the home of the Mor­ gana continued tn stand as a noble monument to the memory of the great general who helped to gain our inde­ pendence.—Youth's Companion.

It is the ambition of those responsible for the activities of the Company to strengthen this leadership. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that an organization can live and prospe'r only when it puts ideals of service above ideals of profit, which is exactly ■what the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is doing.

It did, I until the introduction of the Overland 4 Springbase. Overland 4 does not change the road, but it does change the manner in which you can ride on it. It gives you comfort instead of dis-comfort. It gives you a smooth, sailing sensation instead of bouncing and swaying. _ ' The Diagonal attachment of Three-Point Canti­ lever Springs at the ends of a 130-inch Springbase gives long wheelbase road steadiness. YetOvcrland a 4 retains all 4he advantages—lightness, econ- if omy, and case ofhandling,of 100-inch wheelbase. II v This means an altogether new standard of riding comfort, a noteworthy reduction in the wear and tear which lessens the efficiency of a car. The new springs give • longer life to every part and thus minimize up­ keep and replacement costs. Tires wear longer because cushioned against hammering blows. Lightweightmeans marked econ­ omy in gas, oil and running expense. Overland equipment is complete from AutoLite Starting arid Lighting to Demountable Rims. Come in and see this remarkable car.

Service Through Organization HE only difference between big business and little business lies in the number of units of Effort and the character of ser­ vice rendered. T The laboring man is in business for himself. He renders a service by selling his time, energy and skill. /fcig business is the grouping together of a great many units to render a greater service -r by coordinating the efforts of the individuals and selling the results of their combined time, energy and skill. Up to a few years ago the general public did not understand the ideals of service underly­ ing big business. What it did not understand it distrusted and naturally condemned. When the Allies decided to organize their armies on the basis of big business—for a common service—they began to get results, and the world saw the benefits to oe derived from ityelligent organization. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a big business, organized to render a useful service. T^e objective of the Company is to manufac­ ture the greatest number of useful products from crude petroleum, to distribute them so that they are available to all and to sell them at a minimum price. The methods by which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) renders these services em­ brace the truest financial democracy, the most advanced merchandising practices and ex­ tensive scientific research. • „ These are intended to expand the usefulness of the Company as a public servant, by main­ taining the quality of petroleum products manufactured at the highest standard, by mak­ ing an adequate return to those who are in• vesting their money or their time in the busi­ ness of the Company and enabling’the public to secure their requirements of such products at a minimum of expense. .

For strength to do the splendid deed, For youth, who made the sacrifice ' And. smiling, paid the bitter price That freedom asks of sturdy men, Oh God, accept our thanks again. • •To thee once more today we kneel; Sad music of the crash of steel A' companies our prayers, and yet Thv mercies everywhere are met, And we are grateful for the youth That boldly dared to guard the truth. Oh God, who gave us sight to see The way to serve, we pray to thee; We thank thee for all mothers.fair Who gave their sons into thy care And brnvely hid their grief and pain That liberty and truth should ij^ign. We thank thee for each noble heart That scorned to play the coward part; We thank thee for the humblest lad That in these bitter times is glad To toil until war’s flags are furled To make a kindlier, hotter world. For yield of tree and fruit and vine Once more our .gratitude is thine; But in these days of dangers, wq Now offer prayers of thanks to thee For all the brave and loyal -breasts Wherein the love of honor rests. Oh God. we thank thee for our yoUth That still hold real the ways of truth; Weithank thee for their courage, and ■* Devotion to our native land; We’re thankful that our flag still gleams The emblem of man’s highest dreams.

Chilling Blasts AND Winter Care of Batteries If You Haven’t Made Arrangements To Have Your Battery Cared For, Do So Now The Average Life of a Storage Battery Is About Two Years Willard SERVICE STATION Many car owners think that if they take their battery out and set it away that it will come out in the Spring just as good as when put away—This is a great mistake—a battery will continue to wear out just th e same in the winter when set away as it does in the sujnmer when you are using your car every day. You Need the Advice and Expert Service of a Battery Man This is where Willard Storage Battery Service at our Garage can not only save your battery but save money for you. Winter care of batteries is import­ ant. There are two systems of caring for batteries during time of disuse—Dry and Wet Storage. • DRY STORAGE In this system we take your battery all apart, throwing away the old insulators and solution, and place all the parts in dry storage so that all Chemical action on the plates stop at once and the separate parts are all cleaned by an expert and kept in perfect condition,until you wish to use them again in t|ie spring. The different parts are then assembled, using new insulators and solution, and the bat­ tery is ready when you want it, full of new life and “pep.” This system, prolongs the life of your battery. Wet Storage of the “Still Better Willard Battery” With Threaded Rubber Insulation The battery is to be stored and kept properly filled with pure water and charged at reg­ ular intervals until required for use. The Service Station agrees to deliver in the spring any battery less than two years old in good condition for service. Universal Garage Cor. Court and Church Sts. F. W. STEBBINS. CARL WES PINTER. Hastings, Mich. WET STORAGE - We also take care of all batteries when owners want them in Wet Storage. We give just as care­ ' ful attention to wet storage as to any other department of our business. .In wet storage your battery is gone over and cleaned and all weak points repaired and kept in the best possible manner, so as to have just as little depreciation as possible. Expert battery work is our special line—We have spent much time and a lot of money equipping our Battery Department and are the best* prepared to properly, handle your battery business of qny garage in Barry county. Please don't believe any hearsay about our battery service. It -will take only a few^minutes to" come and talk with us youhtelf and if we can’t convince you that we j Know the Battery Business ’ We will not ask you tolrust your battery to ,-us..' You certainly cannot afford to neglect your battery if money is any consideration io you. CARL W. WE8PJNTW. Battery Expert. �TK3 KASTINM BANNER, PAGE SEVEN THURSDAY NOVEMBER. 27 1019.

FINAL WARNING To Prospective Buyers of Ford Cars A Representative of the Ford Motor Co. Informs Us That Prices Will Soon Advance We have told prospective buyers of Ford cars that we expected an increase in prices before Jan. 1st. Last week a representative called on us and told us that the Ford Motor Company would.be com­ pelled to increase its prices in the very near future on account of the shortage of steel and materials. So we are confidently expecting an increase before Jan. 1st, and it may come ANY DAI'. So those who are thinking of buying a Ford car now, or any time in the coining year, will do well to plqce their orders with us at once. This will not only assure delivery, but also the present prices for Ford cars. So don’t overlook jhis “warning” if you intend to buy a Ford car.

This Medicat­ ed Stock Salt first came to the attention of the farmers and stockmen when prescribed for their rundown and wormy animals, its pronounced and repeated success in these cases were responsible for its being placed on the market which was done in 1897. . arc making Thank*- Mr. Stockman “'Hrn«h Brforn Break- on the (■tart.

Did you ever.inquire into the personnel of any of the cohcerns who are on the market with Worm Destroyers, Stock Tonics and Conditioners? Probably not, if you had you would have been in a good many cases great­ ly surprised at the-utter lack of any qualifications or experience with animals whatsoever by the men who assume to prescribe for your stock. When you buy DR. HOLLAND’S .MEDICATED STOCK SALT you re­ ceive the benefit of a PROFESSIONAL PRESCRIP­ TION put*out by a QUALIFIED VETERINARIAN of over thirty years standing. You are getting a Worm Destroyer and Conditioner that has stood on its mdHts for the past 23 years, and one that has been fed con­ tinuously by many feeders for from 15 to 20 years.

Mr. Prospective Car Buyer Your Attention, Just a Minute Every issue of your daily paper speaks of the coal strike and steel strike. Labor unrest and threatened strikes are common talk, outside of farming communities. To the man that expects to buy a car in the future, this winter or in the spring, do you realize that delay mpan s a higher price? Shortage of coal and steel at all automobile and truck factories is showing effect. Production is being cut or reduced every day , directly caused by the shortage of coal and steel in the manufacture of p arts. All factories are behind on orders and’-the less cars and trucks manufac tured means payment of increased prices for what are made. Higher pric es and inability to get new automo­ biles, increases the demand, sales and prices on Used cars. , We are selling a large number of new cars and during the last two and three weeks we have taken in on the sale of new cars, some excellent used cars. Lack of storage room prevents us frorti holding for the higher prices that are sure to come. We also aim to give every customer a good deal and right now we have some used cars that will make friends on every sale. Nearly all of the following cars have been over-hauled, new "parts and tires put on where necessary, and we believe that every one will give satis­ . factory service. You will save money by buying now—examine this list and come in early before your choice of car is sold. • Our Prices on These Cars Will Move Them Quick Ford—5-Passenger, 4-Cyl., 1914. 1 Oakland—7-Passenger Touring, 8-Cyl.

Informs Us That Prices Will Soon Advance We have told prospective buyers of Ford cars that we expected an increase in prices before Jan. 1st. ' Last week a representative called on us and told us that the Ford Motor Company would be com­ pelled to increase its prices in the very near future on account of the shortage of steel and materials. So we are confidently expecting an increase before Jan. 1st, and it may come ANY DAY. So those who are thinking of buying a Ford car now, or any time in the coming year, will do well to place their orders with us at once. This will not only assure delivery, but also the present prices for Ford cars. So don’t overlook this “warning” if you intend to buy a Fond car.

Dr. Holland’s Medicated Stock Salt Should be Fed Because it is a condition powder Because it is a blood purifier. Because it makes more blood. Because it aids the liver and kidneys. 5. ' ” Becaituse it loosens the skin, making the hair sleek and» glossy. gios 6. Because it is a powerful antiseptic. 7. Because it makes more flesh, milk, -wool and muscle out of the same amount of feed.' The manufac­ turers positively guarantee this. 8. Because it gives strength of constitution that resists disease. • « . 9. Because it is the only practical worm medi­ cine known that will rid animals of worms and remove the cause, when used daily. ‘ 10. Because we guarantee Dr. Holland’s Medicat­ ed Stock Salt SUPERIOR to any other article on the market for the improvement of stock, which is rational, practical and profitable. 2. I I. Because this Medicated Salt is put up by a graduate Veterinarian with years of experience, a man thoroughly and specially qualified to give the 'farmers and stockmen a preparation of real value. Dr. Holland p,ut in over ten years of Actual, every day practice before he worked out the formula of the Medicated Stock Salt. This Medicat­ ed Stock Salt first came to the attention of the farmers and stockmen when prescribed for their rundown and wormy animals, its pronounced and repeated success in these cases were responsible for its being placed on the market which was done in 1897. Mr. Stockman: You no doubt have been imposed upon with quack and imitation tonics In the past, Qnd you may be just a Jittle skeptical about stock tonics in general. Did you ever inquire into the personnel of any of the con­ cents who are on the market with Worm Destroyers, Stock Tonics and Conditioners? Probably not, if you had you would have been in a good many cases great­ ly surprised at the utter lack of any qualifications or experience w'ith animals whatsoever by,the men who assume to prescribe for your stock. When you buy DR. HOLLAND’S MEDICATED STOCK SALT you re­ ceive the benefit of a PROFESSIONAL PRESCRIP­ TION put out by a QUALIFIED VETERINARIAN of over thirty years standing. You are getting a Worm' Destrdyer and Conditioner that has stood on its^merits • for the past 23 years, and one that has been fed con­ tinuously by many feeders for from 15 to 20 years.

Of Course You Do, and for That Reason You Asked HER to Share the Joys and Sorrows of your Life, Whatever They May Be You made an inward resolve that you would do everything possible to help her preserve her attractive appearance and shield her from as many of the rough spots of life as you could. A woman's heart is in hef home and for that reason perhaps, it has been truly said that “woman'd work .is never done.” Her natural instinct is to make her home as cheerful and as attractive as possible for you. Are YOU doing YOUR PART? Just think it over. There are many things YOU can do to make HER labors lighter and easier. For desirable Christmas Gifts possibly you wouldn’t think of coming to a Gas and Electric Light office,, but if you are looking for PRACTICAL, SENSIBLE Gifts to show that “you do love her,” you couldn't come to a better place than here. Let us name just a few of the many desirable gifts for HER. Have your home wired for Electric Lights. Take out the dirty, smoky lamps that often smoke up your rooms, soil your wall paper, carpets and rugs and with which there is always more or less danger. With Electric Lights, turn a switch and your rooms are flooded with light. This saves HER from washing and cleaning lamps and chimneys, and keeps your home cleaner and more sanitary. Does SHE do the family washing? .It’a.the hardest work' a woman cun do. and if has to he dbne every week, winter and summer. It saps |he strength and brings on wrinkles and gray hairs. It’s a nard, tedious grind, and countless thousands of women are in their graves, today, as victims of colds contracted on "Wash Day;” countless other thousands have contracted disease which makes life only a living death on Wash Day. Countless other thousands have contracted illness that caused large "Doctof Bills'' before they were again restored to health. ' Sweeping and Cleaning is another tiresome job, but SHE feels that she hasn’t done her duty unless she sweeps and cleans every room in the house every week, or two weeks at most. It’s HARD WORK. If you don't think so just try.it once and you’ve got a sur­ prise coming. Sweeping with the ordinary broom is hard work, and it kicks up lot of dust, dirt and germs that spread disease and sickness. . Why not save her all this hard labor and let one of our Vacuum Cleaners do the work. Instead of kicking up the dust and dirt, it "sucks” it up into a con­ tainer. It lightens the wqrk and pre­ vents any danger from dust, dirt, germs Why not save her all this hard S\ labor and let one of our Electric r Washing Machines do the work • It will pay for itself in doctor's bills saved - You couldn’t buy her a present that would be more appreciated. \ Then there’s the Electric Iron. Did-yot? evqr think of what a hard job it is to stand near a hot stove for hours and do ironing with the old fashioned flat irons? In warm weather especially the whole house is made uncomfortably hott and the suffocating heat is even harder to endure, and more enervating than the hard work. Why not do away with all this intense heat by buying her one of our electric irons? They don’t cost much and are less expensive to operate. They are worth all they cost every year. If you love her, why not buy her a Gas Stove or Range? No dirty wood for her to handle, no dirt and ashes for her to clean upi no fires to kindle. It will save her a lot of time; a lot of work and it’s less expensive, because by turning « valve all expense stops. Then There’s the Electric Toaster . ’ and many other things where Electricity will help you to lighten her labors and provide you and your family better and more wholesome food and better living. We haven't room to mention them all. The BEST way is to call and see for yourself. And when you get right down to "brass tacks” how can you spend money more satisfactorily than for the securing of greater comforts in your own.home -the best place on.earth? We only travel this way once, why not spend money for those things that we can buy that bring pleasure and happiness to those around us while we are passing along, rather than seek to miserly hoard a "wad," large or small, for others to scramble'over after we have gone on. The shroud is no respecter of persons, and Croesus found it just as impossible to take his millions with him as John D. will when he passes out. Thornapple Gas & Electric Co.

The agitation and the articles written would therefore include myself as well as all others no matter whether they are innocent or not, .and regardless of how the pro­ prietors may conduct their business. I feel, therefore, that it would not be out of place to make a statement in this advertisement:— t < In purchasing the Club Cigar Store and Billiard Parlors 1 wish to say that it was my in-' tention, as it has been my aim, to give to the people of Hastings and vicinity a place where they could haye all of the advantages of a Club Room with none of its attendant expenses. No money has been spared to make the "Club" pleasant,.and no effort has been overlooked to keep it orderly and conducted as such a place should be. 1 feel that my life has been such that no one would feel that 1 would purposely violate • any law. or do anything that 1 should not do. I felt that there was need of just such a place as the "Club" in Hastings, and that I was only meeting a public demand, in. providing a pleasant place to which men and youn£ men could retire from the hum-drum business life, meet their friends, enjoy a sociable smoke or perhaps a friendly game of billiards; a place that was run properly and that would appeal to the better element. A place that if any young man came his parents would know that he was mingling with good men. That was my aim and I've tried to live up to it. Some men, who are my patrons and who appreciate what the "Club" is, and the charac­ ter and standing of men who patronize it, have come to me personally and asked that their sons be permitted to play billiards, telling me that when their son te at the "Club" they know that he is in pleasant surroundings and in good company. 1 have granted the "request of these fathers. It is a fact that cannot be denied, and should not be overlooked, that there* are many young men when they reach a certain age, are going to have some plaice to meet and enjoy themselves. If they are prevented from going to a place that is regulated and where their associates are good, they will rent a room somewhere and run it to suit themselves with­ out any regulations. Any man who has gone through that experience knows that such a plate is infinitely bad, a breeder of crime, bad habits and far worse than any .place in the city. . . Boys under age, whose fathers have astted me to let them play billiards at the "Club" have been allowed to play here in the past but 1 have given positive orders that even these shall not be allowed to play in the future; so in depriving these boys of what they have been allowed to do in the past some thought and attention should be given td provide them a place with good surroundings and good companions or a positive injury will be done them rather than the good contemplated. As to the sale of Cigarettes. It has always been rny strict orders that they must not be gold to minors. Those orders have, always been in force at the Club Cigar Store, and are today. Personally I am in no way opposed to the law regarding the sale of Cigarettes to minors. On the contrary 1 think the law a good one and will do what I can to aid in its en­ forcement. . , , W. N.

HOW HE ENDED KIDNEY TROUBLE. UAATIVE Aged People HE BANE tsf old age is constipation. T cis become weak and unable to perform their functions without aid. For this purpose only the mildest .and gentlest laxative should be used. The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain’s Tablets are a favorite with people of middle age .and older on account of their gentle action. Chamberlain’s Tablets »’s'c’cs’s's ^Victor output reaches normal The shortage in Victrolas will soon be relieved Plans for expanding the plant to meet the tremendous increase in demand have been fully matured and are under way— astonishing increases are assured within the next few months The value of the Victor Talking Machine Company’s output for October was the greatest in its history. The unprecedented shortage of Vic­ trolas will therefore soon be relieved. The Victor Company is the only talking ma­ chine company in the United States which has a complete plant for the manufacture of complete talking machines. All others are operated more or less by a system of contract construction—the fabricating system. Years ago the Victdr Company found it necessary to erect a large plant of its own in order to maintain its own standard of quality--VICTOR’ QUALITY. The Victor Company is the original manu­ facturer of the Victrola and holds' all the original pattents. In the last twenty-three years the Victor ■ Company has originated all the startling improve­ ments in the type of talking machine which it manufactures. Other manufacturers have simply followed, manufacturing instruments which are largely imitative. The Victor Company is the only company in the United States fully equipped to make standard talking rnachines of the gramophone type—'the Victrola is a gramophone not a phonograph. There is only one standard talking machine and that is the VICTROLA. The above are statements direct from the Victor Co. and we have every confidence that we shall soon be in position to fill all order?. We urge you to place your order now so you can be one of the first to secure a machine. PANCOAST & NOBLES Hastings, Mich. Barry County’s Leading Jewelers Phone 2120 >e 2 �THE HARTINGS BANNER.

The cost of the furnace is an Investment- Available Heat From Fuel Used. Durability of Furnace Construction. The cost of the Fuel you use is a dead loss uid put Ease and Simplicity of Operation. —Hence—when you buy a furnace think of the fuel consumption before you do the actual money spent for the furnace. am The above picture is a good view of the No. 5 Wolverine. This is a fur­ nace which will give you service. ' Efficiency of Installation. . Wolverine furnaces-are a development of nearly one-half a century of study. They represent the combined brqin labor of niatiX* men. Everybody in the organization has contributed something of value and by constantly changing, r.r, improvements- have been suggested, they have been developed into their present high state of proficiency. The best of material has always gone into Wolverines. It has to be good when wc guarantee them for fivryoqrs. The-Wolverine guarantee is the strongest, guarantee ever placed on any heating apparatus. ’ . When yog purchase a Wolverine Heating and .Ventilating System you get one copy of a signed agreement guarantee that has been declared by prominent attorneys to be the fairest ..rid most liberal guarantee evcr-jiut out by any healing and ventilating concern. ■ This agryenvni-guarantee is printed in black and.white in plain Eng­ lish to the effect that the hbating must warm the rooms to which the furnhev is conflicted to a certain specified temperature or the;ei|uipun nt d x s not co.-t you one vent. It further says that with the exception the grates (which can be. destroyed by carelessness) any casting thut giws out during a period of five years from installation date-must be re­ placed free of charge to you.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR sixteen Years Experience For sixteen years, a corps of metallurgists have been studying and constantly perfecting the steel that goes into every part of the Ford car and the Ford One-Ton Truck. Each separate part has been studied to learn the type of steel best fitted for it. Parts receiving constant surface-wear are made of hard, flint-like metal; parts subjected to great vibration qf resilience, are made of softer, springy steel. Each part is made according to its use—that is, every Genuine Ford part is. - But there are also counterfeit “Ford” parts. These imitations are made by concerns in no way connected with the Ford Motor Company­ find retailed ns side-lines by mailorder houses, down-town stores, and many garages. The unsuspecting customer accepts thepi because they are called "Ford" parts. To make sure of getting the genuine Fordmade parts, buy^them only from Authorized Ford Dealers. Likewise bring or take your Ford car to our garage for repairs, replacements anil general "tuning up.” We are Authorized Ford Dealers. We can supply you with all Ford parts for either passenger car or truck. And our shop is equipped to give real Ford sendee in all repair work. ALDRICH, WERTMAN CO., Hickory Corner., Mich.

He saw the foreign roads — in England and France, the best in Europe — and in other Con­ tinental countries — und lie knows. The part railroads have played in the develop­ ment of the United States is lieyoud measure. American, railroads.have achieved high stand* ards of public service by far-sighted and courage­ ous investment of capital, and by the constant striving of managers and men for rewards for work well done. . We have the best railroads in the world — wq must continue to have lhe best. But they must grow.. To the. 9^0,000.000,000 now invested in our railroads, there will have to be added-in the next few years, to keep pat e with the nation's business, billions more for additional tracks, stations and terminals, cars and engine*, electric power houses and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the elimination of grade crossings — and for recon­ struction and engineering economies that will re­ duce the cost of transportation. To attract to the railroads in the future the in­ vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct­ ing genius of the most capable builders and man­ agers, and the skill and loyalty uf the best work­ men — in competition with other industries Ad­ ding for capital, managers and men — the railroad industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to managers and to the men. American railroads will continue to set world standards and adequately serve the Nation’s needs if they continue to be built and operated on the American principle of rew'ards for work well done. adwtiianent ii published by the (ShAociation. ofSladuxy ^xeadutd.

Deficiencies in the telephone service which have been quite obvious for a long time are due to the unusual conditions prevalent throughout the entire manufacturing, mercantile and domestic world. The war took men and women from their accus­ tomed duties where they did good work and sent them in every direction to new tasks, and inmany instances inexperienced people took their places. The various industries arc gradually getting back their former efficient workers, but the spirit of service has not. yet fully returned; that it will come back in a short time is a foregone conclusion. The telephone service is probably no better or no worse than the general average of the business and domestic routine. The telephone management is in a vigorous cam­ paign to get its service back to.thcola standard of speed and accuracy.

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.
