The loss was about $ 10,000, and no insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown—it is quite evident, however, that it was not caused by anyone's carelessness. Have You a Big Fire Insurance Policy/ on Your Belongings ? Or Do You Stand to Lose If Visited by the Fire Fiend? Thousands of fires occur and no one can tell how they start. You may say that you are careful and there is no danger of your property:being de­ stroyed. Here is a case where no one,was to blame and yet the fire oc­ curred and a total loss was realized. Do You Wish to Take the Chance? We do not believe you do. Think the matter over carefully and weigh well the serious chance you take in'leaving your property uncovered by fire in­ surance. Your loss in case of fire might not be $10,000, but whatever it would be it is not good business to remain unprotected when insurance can be secured at so low a qost^ There are many who carry insurance—policies taken out several years ago and in large enough values to have covered losses at that time but dur­ ing the past few years values have increased to a large extent. Does Your Policy Cover Present Values? If you have not increased the amount of your policies we feel sure your property is not fully covered and if visited by a destructive fire you are .in position to lose the difference between the \ value of your property a few years ago and its value today. This is another matter you should think about seriously. A little attention now may mean several hundreds or thousands of dollars to you in case of fire. We represent several of the most reliable Fire Insurance Companies of America, any of which will carry your risk much cheaper than you can afford to carry, it yourself. If you feel disposed to turn your-insurance ovei to us we will see that your property it always covered, renewing your policies promptly unless otherwise or­ dered by you. We have had an extensive experience in the insurance business and are qualified to know from a legal point of view many of the legal phases of fire insur­ ance.

The cost of the furnace is an Investment— The Cost of the Fuel you use is a dead loss —Hence—when you buy a furnace think of the fuel consump­ tion before you do the actual money spent for the furnace. —We desire to call your especial attention to Four Points to be considered in selecting a furnace: Available Heat From Fuel Osed. Durability of Furnace Construction. Ease and Simplicity of Operation. Efficiency of Installation. Wolverine furnaces are a development of nearly one-half a century of . study. They represent the combined brain labor of many men. Everybody in the organization has contributed something of value and by constantly changing, as improvements have been suggested, they have-been developed into their present high.state of proficiency. , . The best of miiterial has always gone into Wolverines. It has to' be - gorttl when we guarantee them for five years. The Wolverine guarantee is the strongest guarantee ever placed on any heating apparatus. , • When you 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 and most liberal guarantee ever put out by any healing and ventilating concern.. . This agreement-guarantee is printed in black and white in plain Eng­ - lish to the effect that the heating system must warm the rooms to which the furnace is connected to a certain bd< -ified temperature or the equip­ ment does not cost you one cent. It further says that with the exception of the grates (which can be destroyed by carelessness) any casting that gives out during a period of five years from installation date must be re­ . placed free of charge to you. . Now stop and run over in your mind the main points in the Wolverine proposition, which is not equalled by any other proposition ever made. ' All work planned by well educated, well developed, experienced heat­ ing engineers, backed up and checked by an efficient engineering depart­ ment that sees that the Wolverine Standard is maintained. * All equipment furnished, made in our own factory and all work done by our own men, thus centering the manufacturer’s as well as the erector’s responsibility in one place, eliminating all possibility of passing the blame • for any unsatisfactory work or equipment from manufacturer to erector or vica-versa. , . All systems installed by expert, experienced factory-trained and fac­ tory-controlled mechanics, who are responsible to a department at Jhe home office that watches them constantly. All. systems guaranteed to heat satisfactorily regardless of outside tem­ perature, in simple, plain English, that cannot be evdded or misconstrued. All defective castings replaced free of charge for five yeara from in­ stallation. t You can now begin to see why the Wolverine stands bo high in the estimation of those who have them installed in their homes.

Among them are these1st - and perhaps foremost is the high QUALl I Y of ALL of the products that we make. No better baked goods are made than we make right here. 2nd—is the fact that we use nothing but the very BEST ol materials that money can buy. This oi course contributes to QUALl 1 Y products that the Star Bakery always maintains. 3rd-is CLEANLINESS and SANITARY CONDITIONS, which we place almost above everything else. You will always find our Bake Shop just as clean as the tidiest housewife’s kitchen. We believe its GOOD BUS­ INESS and a GOOD INVEST MEN 1 to always keep our place so clean that it’s a pleasure to show’ people through it.

OF- French’s White Lily Flour Work more— Produce more— Save more— We have just received the above. This flour needs no introduction to you---Mrs. Housewife. Railroads are now near the peak’ of their carrying capacity. It is because vve buy in such large quantities that we are able to give such . reasonable prices on many of the lines we have for sale. Especially is this true of the flour we sell. If you want flour buy French’s White Lily. Without railroad expansion-r-more en­ gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter­ minals—there can be little increase in production. FARMERS: We want your wheat. have any, bring it to us. But we can’t continue increasing our production unless we continue increasing our railroad facilities. . The farms, mines and factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing—and the railroads must grow with it. To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities—and so increase production — there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads. The nation’s business can grow only as fast as the railroads grow. ilhibradwrluaiient id published by Hie £todociali.on oftfaulway '^xeadivea. * Thoir drtiriny infomation tonetraidy^br railroad litaalion way obtain literature by writing to thr J/ran'a* fioii of Kadiray Eutldioet, 61 Hraadteay, Nno lurk.

HMUJi A Glance at Future Conditions TT is not uncommon to hear some one say these days, “when things get back This is a view of the front of our shop and office. to normal.” Things will never go BACK to normal, this is an age of pro­ gress and advancement and instead of going BACK we are rapidly going ahead. Old times and conditions will never be again and if you are WAITING -you are waiting in vain. Take “Progress” for your motto and “Action” for the password and enter the%te-room of the biggest “Future” America has ever seen. For us the past year has been the greatest year we have ever enjoyed in business—larger volume of business, more satisfied, purchasers. These results have confirmed our judgment in • Strict “Golden Rule” Policy-Highest Quality Materials, Reasonable Prices Quality Considered We get lots of pleasure put of our business. We have never yet received a word of complaint from any one to whom we have sold a monument or marker—all seem satisfied. In almost every cemetery in this section we have placed several handsome pieces of work- All of them have stood there enduring with­ out blemish, the ravages of cold and heat, storms and sunshine. We believe that our customers appreciate having us sell them the kind of monumental work which will stand against the destroying agents of time and weather, rather than something inferior which will rust, crumble or fade and after a few years be­ come a blot instead of a memorial. We pride ourselves on the personal guaranty which goes with each and 6very piece of work we put out out. All these things are what have enabled' us to meet successfully the conditions of today and look with enthusiasm and confidence into the future conditions. If you-have any thought of buying something in monumental work during the next two.or three years we urge you to call and see us now, for we believe 1920 marks the threshold of an era of unprecedented prosperity and progress.

Lift any com or callus off with fingers Before buying ANY thin watch —open the back and see that the inside protection cap is there Some watches are made thin by eliminating certain parts such as the double protection cap.’ But when this is done the watch suffers, for .the eliminated parts are absolutely essential to durability and precision accuracy. The Gruen Watchmakers Guild found the way to make an accurate watch beautifully thin -without hazarding either durability or accuracy. In fact. Gruen thin model watches being built up—not cut down—are given added strength by their very compactness. Every part essential to highest accuracy and durability is retained. Note how Gruen ®ves a movement the desired, practical thinness. Don’t fdrget this point when you choose a watch.

THURSDAY r ■ hl Vitrified Clay Blocks, on which were written the oldest known records of civilization, are still intact after many thousands of years. Tile is a material that seems to last better than any other .material or chemical produced on the earth. Bury it in the ground, leave it exposed to the open air,-put it under water—anywhere, it lasts without any sign of deterioration. Wood can decay, rocks can crack and crumble into sand, steel and iron cun rust and wear down to nothing, but vitrified clay has that in­ vincible lasting quality that-knows no- age. No one c .. tell you definitely how long your tile silo will last you. Build it efficiently and it will be there like a landmark for many generations to come. A tile silo I.an no up-kec'p expense. You do not worry about it depreciating in value. Little or nd ul .:4ion.is required ! > keep it in shape; there is no painting required: no hoops to tight .no anchoring sa stem to watch. A good tile silo is fire-proof, vermin­ proof, storm-pfoof, age-proof. \ou will never have to worry about its blowing down. There are hoop > in it of course, but you never have to tighten them. You can forget about insurance? or if you do want it-insured it will take a *.ery low rate. Vitrified hollow tile has always been conceded to be the ideal si lb material. Its effi­ ciency has been demonstrated for many centuries in building successful sewers. More tile silos, would be in service today had the present efficient methods of wall con­ struction been known earlier. The strength and durability of a hollow tile silv wall de­ pends almost entirely upon the reinforcing system, and the cementing,of the blocks. The vitrified clay I,', cks in themselves are indestructible. It is the strength and permanency of their grip with each other that determine! the efficiency of the silo. The sup.. Ear block and reinforcing system is our main argument to you in this silo. This alone should be sufficient to get your order. We know that you cannot duplicate the effi­ ciency in any other silo novv on the market. . In all go i-j nee we have never kniwn of a better proposition than the one we now offer ; . he l. an.iing Vitrified Tile Silo. This silo costs you no more than you are asked tc » for a fairly good1 wood stave silo, yet it gives you the greatest efficiency known m r > silc bu iding. And silo effieieneyjs what you are after. ‘ ■’ ■w’&FJctibn and all about the many,other good features of the Lan: in-increase only as our Poor railroad service is dear at any price. No growing country can long pay the price of inadequate transportation facilities.

There is much reconstruction and even more advance construction work to do before the foamer position of Readiness to Sene is regained. Little or no construction work for two years, a vast increase in demand for service and avast increase in.the popula­ tion to be served, presents a stunning problem to the telephone management. A dollar will not buy as much service or as much material, as heretofore, which further complicates the problem. Tn the circumstances -the/-Telephone. Company must adopt the policy so uniform among merchants in every line of business and sell its service at higher prices. The higher rates arc a protection to a service that is in the interest and*for the convenience of every subscriber.

That remedy ia Foley’s Honey and Tar ra N 5 Vitrifying shale and clay, as you probably know, is a process of burning it to a high heal, and letting it cool gradually. This takes all the moisture out of the block and melts it into a solid mass, so hard that no moisture or decaying elements can penetrate it. , COMPOUND it contains no opium, morphine, chloroform or other injurious drug 1! it cn old-time home remedy combining th. curative effect* of pine tar and honey with Baniihed La Grippe Ccugh* u The finished block requires 47 pounds pressure to the square inch to force liquid through walls. ‘ After'the tile is vitrified it is glazed. I his is simply a process of, treating it with salt, which gives the tile jbat glossy, effect. Tliis glazing coat on the tile acts somewhat the same as a high grade var­ nish or paint docs.to wood. It protects the tile, as well as giving it a better appearance. , Here’s a block that wilt last for ages; 1 here is really no wear-out or de­ cay to it.

FARMERS $30,000 IN DECEMBER This is a picture of the Hastings Condensary --- operated by this company—and has paid to the farmers and dairymen of this section approximately threequarters of a million dollars dur­ ing the three and a half years of its operation. It is not an easy "guess” to say just what all our advantages really amount to—day by day. We accept them—'enjoy them, and pay little'further attention. It is an old and common saying that “You never miss the water ’til the well, goes dry.” To fully appreciate one’s advantages it is sometimes necessary to take a glance back­ ward. K , Three Years Ago Last July We Began Paying the Farmers of This Section 20°/o to 25°/o More for Their Milk Than \ They Had Been Getting Before This company started doing business a little more than three years ago and down to the present time has been paying many thousands of dollars to the dairy herds of this section, every month. We Furnish a Good Market for the Product of Your Cows We have added to the equipment and efficiency of our plant from time to time, as the dairying business in­ creased and more milk began coming to us until now we are prepared to handle all the milk that can be sent to ■ us and always at good prices, as the following shows: x WE PAID APPROXIMATELY $30,000 FOR MILK IN DECEMBER, AND ON A BASIS OF 3.5 PER CENT WE PAID $3.70 PER CWT., ALLOWING FOR A DIFFERENTIAL OF 5c FOR EVERY ONETENTH PER CENT UP OR DOWl^, THE AVERAGE PRICE PAID FOR DECEMBER WAS $3.89 ^ER CWT. Barry county is especially well adapted to raising and keeping good dairy herds at a pleasing profit to the owners thereof. Barry county can be made one of .the wealthiest counties in Michigan by developing the dairy­ ing. business—the soil is just right—the water facilities are fine—the climatic conditions are good—and with silos and improved herds, farms that are now worth $100 or $1 50 per acre can be made* worth $250 to $300 per acre. We urge the farmers of Barry county to give greater attention to their dairying interests. Carried on vigorous!}' Rarry county can easily be doubled in valuation. • * < Our Milk Receipts Today Are Double the Receipts of a Year Ago Al! the above facts we have given show that dairying is on the gain and that those who have been patrons of this company ar& satisfied, and their friends and neighbors are profiting by the advantages they have enjoyed. These statements are not mythical—but actual facts as are proven by our books. Also proven by the experi­ ences of other sections of Michigan where dairying has been on a rapid increase, until the farmers of those sections hafvc become wealthy and are now maintaining magnificent dairy herds of registered stock. We urge you to take this seriously and plan for* an increase of your dairying business and also work toward improving your present herfd. : • ! Wc are pleased to render any and every service we possibly can to aid in thife work. It is to our mutual inter­ est. - It will help build up your county and ours.—It will help to beter your city market and ours.—Our success is built upon your success.—Your prosperity means our prosperity. • T; Our united efforts will place Barry county among the leaders in point of agricultural income.

Like many other so-called "great things" the acquiring of riches is VERY SIMPLE. It’s EASY and ANYBODY can do it. Let George Do It’ GEORGE M. 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. NEWTON But “spending less than you earn"—there's the rub. It will mean the giving up of somr> pleasures you enjo^r; 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.

Finish the Job Right gOMETlMES we are inclined to let a . job go half done — or leave it when-it is almost finished. It’s poor business. Finish any job you start —and finish it right. Take the . matter of harrowing: A field that han been gone over .with- a disk harrow and smoothed with a pcg-ioolh harrow usually presents a pretty good seed bed under favorable conditions. But all too often the seed bed iWtas good as it ought to be in spite of diligent disking and harrowing. Very frequently there arc hard clods that arc dug up by the disking which lie scattered about the field like stars in o clear. moonleM sky. Each one of these lump.s is n cron killer—it io taking up good air and moisture without offering any return therefor to you. Finish the job right by crushing these hard lumps with, a Dunham Culti-Packer. Not only h this imple­ ment very valuable in completing the preparation of a .good seed bed by pulverizing the hard lumps and clogs dug up by hanowing, but it also prevents winter killing to a great extent. When the culti-packcr is used early in the spring, it packs the soil that has been humped up by the frost, leaving wheat roots exposed to the air. thereby “replanting” -this grain by packing the soil around the roots. / • Come in and have a look at ciu of these eulti-packer*.

Its capacity is stamped right on the bolster—and every Weber is guaranteed to carry its rated capac­ W Ifatinat ity. There is never a come-back on this guar­ antee because Weber wheels and gears arc made of "A" grade material and are exceptionally well built. Both the front and rear gears are re­ inforced at every point of wear and strain by liberal ironing and bracing. And added to this there is the Weber Fifth-Wheel which keeps the bolster from rocking, distributes the strain evenly on the sandboard and bolster, prevents bolster from strik­ ing the circle iron, prevents bending or . shearing of the king bolt and wearing of king-bolt hole and, because it keeps the bolster even, it does away with unsteady drawing of the front gear, thereby lightening lhe draft. .

You can add to it as you like; do it in a systematic way, put aside so much to live on and deposit the rest. 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. !____________________________________ Legal Notice So hl Everywhere in Hastings OLD SORES, ULCERS AND ECZEMA VANISH Good, Old, Reliable Peterson's Ointment a Favorite Remedy •102 You Can Be Just as Successful if Buffalo, iitul All That It Requires Is Determination remedy for Belling eczema nnd piles lhe world hnsrver known. “ Peterson ’• Ointment as tha best for $1.00 --Major t-hurle, •• Ointment Jim given great ■nti-l:irti.,n tor.Halt Rhl-um."- MrrAl.

There is a wealth, of valuable ahd interesting information in ihis issue in both reading matter and display advertising which will be fojund of real worth. 1 he Banner urges its readers to give this special issue carefid attention and preserve it for future reference. The Automobile is one of the greatest inventions of the age. It has come to STAY. It has been the means of opening new fields for investigation and education. Practically thexwhole country lies before the owner of a car. because the machine will go anywhere that any vehicle can be driven, Travel broadens a man’s vision, it gives him a new outlook upon life; It keeps him horn “GETTING IN A RUT." Many Barry County peo­ ple have driven across the great prairie states 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 ■.de pilgrixpages to the great South and Southwest. And did you ex er stop to think that you get MORE out of a trip by Auto than you drt by rail. Railways invariably traverse the worst sections of any country, because it costs LESf^to sectfre the right of way. 1 he Auto goes through the BEST, most prosperous, and most populous sections, because there the Jjighways arc better. With an A.ulo you’re your own “Boss." Yqu can stop anywhere at any time afid not under any Conductor's control. You’re always in the fresh air and not con­ fined to any stuffy'coach. Statistics show that farmers are the largest purchasers of Automobiles, and it is well that it is so. I he one great "drawback’* to farming nas been that it keeps a map confined ciosely'to one small locality, and obscures his vision of the great world that always seems just beyond his reach. With an .Automobile the farmer in this locality can in just a few hours cross the borders of this state. or out of the United States lor that matter. He ran see how other farmers live and how they “do things." It will make him a bigger and a broader man. It will give himself and the members of his family the advantages of travel through countrv that he never expected to see. and at a cost-so small that it will be insignificant. It he is an observing man he can gain many "pointers" on every trip that he takes that he can turn to his own advantage after he gets home. �.___________THE HA8TTNO8 BANKER THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 12. 1020 PAGE TWO DUPLEX DOES BETTER HAULING FOR 20 TO 60 PER CENT LESS In all haulage operations the Duplex 4-WheelDrive reduces hauling costs per ton-mile. It has more than four times the power it would have if it drove with two wheels only. This means lower cost per ton-mile. It means saving in fuel and tires. It means constant per­ formance, under all conditions. The Duplex is the original 4-Wheel-Drive truckFor eleven years it has been establishing wonder­ ful records in lowering haulage costs. Careful records show that this saving runs from 20 t<p 60 per cent. This is true whether the Duplex replaces other trucks, or horses and mules. Wherever it goes, the Duplex goes more cheaply— and'gets through. These records show that the Duplex consistently aud continually saves’from 20 to 60 per cent. Business executives should study these records, and also ask us to demonstrate the Duplex. With its power applied to all four wheels, it carries a lull load where ordinary trucks could not move their own weight. MANUFACTURED BY DUPLEX TRUCK CO., LANSING, MICHIGAN. HASTINGS OAKLAND CO.

' • ■ I ■ IF THERE IS SUCH A DEALER in Barry County who is willing to pursue proven methods, we want him and will make him some real, honest-to-goodness money. Th^ deal­ er without a good truck line will be out of business in 1921 anyway, so we will not consider application from those who have a wish bone instead of a back bone. NO MATTER IF YOU DO handle a passenger car line that conflicts with Reo passen­ ger cars, we still offer you a separate contract on trucks. IF YOU SELL the Dort, Nash, Buick, Maxwell, Chevrolet, Overland or what not, and are willing to hook up on Reo “Speedwagons,’’ write us at once and we will be knocking at j our door before a week is passed.

In this space this week we wish to tell Barry County fdlks about the purpose of this bank management in erect­ ing the nice building, a picture of which appears in this space. This building was complefed about six years ago and stands today one of the finest of its! sort in the state. In its design this building aims at three things:— ' —Convenience to Patrons and Public in Transacting Business Efficiency in Equipment for Dispatching Business Promptly —Safety of Finances and Patrons’ Valuables and Papers The Main Lobby —is large and well lighted, having desks at the side for the accommo­ dation of customers. These desks are kept clean and squipped with good pens and ink and blanks such as are needed in transacting busi­ ness. with the bank. All. who wish to do any writing or making out. papers are perfectly welcome to step, in and use these desks at any time. Seats are also provided and a reading table filled' with farm magazines and farm bulletins. • Customers’ Rooms in Rear . . , . In the rear of the bank are arranged rooms for the convenience and comfort of customers, or others who may wish to transact privote business. One room which will accommodate several people at once, equip­ ped with chairs and a desk, is suitable for any private interview where two or three people wish to transact some business of more or less private nature. . Then there are two smaller rooms for the accommodation of those who have deposit boxes in the vault. These rooms are small but convenient and a patron can s'ep in there with his or her deposit box and in secret take out or place in valuables or papers, without disturbance or annoyance. . Rest Rooms I * A ladies’ rest room, lavatory and toilet are also provided in this part of the bank, and will be found comfortable and at the service of all lady patrons. Safety Deposit Boxes What We Have Done Oyer 200 safety deposit boxes, fire proof and burglar proof, are located within the vault for'the convenience and .-rccommodation of those who need safety deposit boxes. The rent for one of these is $2 per year and anyone having valuable- papers can ill afford to be without c?fte. * . For the Security of Every Depositor and Patron . Started as a new institution in 188fe, this bank has, through its progressive methods, its conyrvative management, its liberality to customers and its accommodating policy with the public, grown to be one of the strongest financial institutions in this part of the state and among the * large ones for cities the size of Hastings. \ /This bapk is fully equipped with the most efficient.electric burg­ lar alarm that can be secured. .It would be almost impossible to en­ ter this bank without alarming the entire community. ■_ 1 he vault is one of the most secure that can be installed. Its walls and floors and ceiling are almost two feet thick, composed of solid cement and steel, afld at no place could the point of a small steel or metal drill penetrate these withput breaking an electric wire which would set off the alarm. In this vault are kept the bank finances, valuable papers and safety deposit boxes. This vault is also fire proof. Each of the "cages," where the clerks transact the necessary bus­ iness, is equipped with the latest devices needed to dispatch.with effi­ ciency all dealings. Each "cage” is a department in itself and each one foots up its own cash, so that'e ’ery night every .customer is made safe by the balance of each department. Our Invitation We are sure these thipgs are all of interest and value to you. Nearly every day we receive expr ?ssions of appreciation from some of our custo’mers, or the public, for the service we are rendering. jhem. 1 he local bank is something of a barometer of the’eommunity ' and we know you will be pleased to receive the information here­ with. j y| Is extended to every one. This bank is no discrim­ inator of persons. You are invited to become a pa­ tron. He'who has $1 to deposit in a savings ac­ count with this bank will receive just as courteous and careful treatment as the big depositer. Any time we can be of service to you let us know and we will do our best. HASTINGS CITY BANK Hastings, Mich Chester MesserPresident R’. B. MesserVice-President A. A. AndersonVice-President M. A.

A good concrete-andasphalt highway costs ----- $36,000'irmlle -just a bare road, not count* ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc. Our railroads couldn’t be duplicated to­ day for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile— * much less than theiractual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. • ‘ English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitalization nnd high operating effici­ ency have enabled American. Railroads'to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates. Your satisfaction is guaranteed on everything you buy here. That’s what makes our store such a pleasant place to shop.

It must be in every home, every day and lor every meal. The cry for bread rang louder than the heaviest cannon of the war. Stop and think. Every wheel of industry turns to produce bread. . Iron, coal, timber for the plow that tills the ground for the wheat to be planted. Horses? trucks, railroads, ships to transport it, and so straight down the line no one part, escapes its levy of labor that the people may have bread. »' Why is this? The answer is that wheat is the great human food. In’every grain there is a complete ration of raw food, to meet the needs of the* human body. Baked into bread it is our most palatable, whole­ some and economical food. WHEATHEART BREAD made from the best of SPRING wheat Hour, mixed and baked under the best sanitary conditions supplies a diet that cannot be surpassed at so low a cost. ■ Sold by all Grocers. Everyone will tell you that vitrified tile makes the ideal silo material. It will never horn down, never wear out or start Bl t<> decay. It requires no upkeep expense; ini; ’■ i no painting, no hoops to tighten, no an1 eboring system to watch. Its first cost is the only cost. In the Preston-Lansing Silo you get all the adv antages of vitrified tile durability, plus the strength and beauty of Preston1 .ansitig construction. It'sj this construction that makes the big difference be­ tween Preston-Lansing and other tile silos. The “ship­ lap” joint, twisted steel reinforcing, smooth walls, thin mortar lines, uniform shades of blocks and other Pres­ ton Lansing features provide for better, more satisfac­ tory service. '■!

Ford Car Owners— There are a great many reasons why you should take your Ford car to the Ford Authorized Sales and Service Station for repairs, principally among these reasons is the equipment of the Ford repair shop, which is installed by recommendation of the Ford Motor Co., and further that you are sure of getting genuine Ford parts replaced in your car, instead of cheaper and inferior parts manufactured by others than the Ford Motor Co. _ We have upwards of $2,000.00 invested in our shop equipment, and below we are showing you cuts of part of the equipment'that we have installed in order to not only give you the best of service in the way of repairing, but also at a price that cannot be met in other garages who do not have the equipment to work with. Our repair charges are made from a schedule furnished us by the Ford Motor Co., and based upon first class mechanic’s work, and time. You do not have to worry about how long your car is with us, as you know when we take the job, just how much it will cost you. . We have the largest garage in Barry County, the most up-to-date equipment, and the best mechanics that money can hire; if you have not already tried our .service, we ask you to give us a chance to take care of your Ford car and any labor that we may do under the Ford schedule will be fully guaranteed. Arbor Press Lathe A very necessary piece of equipment in a work shop, for truing up crank shafts, cam shafts, ream- ; | ' ing bushings, and many other similar jobs that are necessary in an automobile repair shop. An arbor press saves tlje Ford owner many dollars in repair bills, Burning and Running-In Stand This piece of equipment is absolutely necessary in over1 hauling q Ford Motor-to give a satisfactory job to the owner: in j other words it is the same method of making your bearings fit, 1 that is used at the Ford Motor Co. factory. This is the only burning and running-in stand in use in Barry county. Grinding Stand Used for grinding tools, smoothing up rough parts, and a great many other jobs that come up in the repair work. A piece of equipment that would be impossible to get along without. Motor Stand Used for holding the Ford Motor block while being over­ hauled : very essen­ tial as a time and money saver; instead of having your block rolled around on the work bench. where patronizes » ga­ rage that th.rs not have one in their t quipnu nt. it saves ninny hours labor in taking oft and' replacing gears, pressing out bushings, straight, ning Mil bent parts, and a great many other Uses too numerous, to mention. . Rear Axle Stand Used foooverhauling the rear axle, is portable . and can be. wheeled about, holds the axle in a posi­ tion win1 re a mechanic can work on it convenient- > ly. and saves a great deal of ti ne in doing that kinci of a job. Drill Press.and Hinkley-Myers Reboring Tool . Used for reaming bushings, boring of all descriptions, and particularly in connection with our Hinckley-Myers reboring outfit, for reboring the cylinder blocks for over­ size pistons. A very necessary piece of equipment as a time saver and money saver to the car owner. For several years' the Ford Motor Co. did not recom­ mend a reboring tool for reboring the block to replace oversize pistons. Only last summer they recqmmended the Hinckley-Myers Reboring Tool, and insisted on every Ford Service Station adding one t<? their equipment. This, .tool will do just as accurate a job of reboring as the Ford Motor Co. can do themselves. Up to the time that the Ford Motor Co. O. K.’d the reboring tool, we did not .idvise having your blocks rebored, but now we are in a posi­ tion to do this work accurately and assure you of a first class job. We are unable in this issue to show you an illus­ tration of this boring tool. Re-Babbitting Tool Without this tool it is impossible to_ tear down and overhaul a F?ord mo­ tor. and insure the owner against play and knocks when it is put to­ , gether. again. This tool is used for Drill Press । pouring new bearings in.the cylinder •-■block. . We wish tb advise you that whether you bring your repair work to us or not, make sure that you are getting genuine Ford parts replaced in your car. There are a great many parts being made that are in­ ferior in workmanship and quality, and only cause you a great deal of trouble by having them replaced, instead of the genuine Ford parts.

We have contended for years that the best flour for family use is a blended flour; that is, a flour made from the best varieties of hard, and soft wheat .The hard, or commonly called spring wheat, is stronger in gluten, rich in protein, while the soft winter wheat produdes a flour of de­ licious flavor and excellent color. ’ By properly blending the two varieties of wheat and grinding them together we obtain a flour rich in protein and nourishment, of the best possible color and delicious flavor—a superior quality flour.

Thou­ sands of thoughtful housewives have learned that Blue Label Karo is not only a delicious spread for pancakes, but answers every pur­ pose where a sweet is needed. Mothers give children Blue Labe! Karo and sliced bread "o: cause it satisfies Nature's craving for/ sweets and takes the place of candy. Instead of paying the present high prices for jams, jellies and preserves—serve Blue Label Karo on sliced bread, toast, pancakes or waffles.

The CULTIPACKER is almost indispensable to successful farming. It is ideal for preparing the seed bed to ^receive the seed and keep the soil in proper condition to produce the heaviest crop. Il’s fine for the early, cultivation of cornj oats and other grain. It can’t be beat for beets. Just the thing for rolling jrour wheat, clover and timo- , thy. Follow your grain drills with the CULTIPACKER, Pack your Spring wheat in the Spring with the CULTIPACKER. It will more than pay for itself on the average farm the first year by its increase in crop yield. Makes * your soil so much easier to cultivate.

If you expect to have a new car you are only inviting disappointment by delaying purchase for there will be a shortage of automobiles of every sort.

Every number on the program was enjoyed ‘by all. especially that »«lo played on" the steel guitar. Between parte- one of their number/we won't attempt to pronounce it, came out and gave us a little talk concerning his native land. Some of Jhe present Hawaiian customs closely resemble our own, but we all nro very glad that we don’t have to go out nnd pull weeds every time we nrc caught whispering. This would bo a • very practical form of punishment anyway because we would soon run out of .weeds. Thursday during the chapel period tho Hawaiian* surprised ns all by ap­ pearing on the stage and proceeded ’o give ono of the best chapel programs ever attended by H. IL 8. students. As long ns we are talking about ehapel programs wo might as well tell you about the' one given by the Junior* last Friday in memory of Longfellow's birthday. Emily McElwain had qharge of the program nt-.d presented u* first the ".Tufiior Four” a female quartette, who gave us melodious little selections. After this had taken place Miss Christ­ ian gave a short but interesting review of Longfellow's life. The next thing on the program was ‘Tho Shipbuild­ ers,’ given by Chester Scott, after which Windy gw ns some melody on his Stradnvnrius. Jus! before the con­ clusion of Windy’s n cjtal- ‘Chet’ was •eon to leave the *tago suddenly. Wo all wore very surprised at this unex­ pected mancua-er nnd had our cur­ iosities aroused to a high pitch when we found that h- had gone out for the main and simple purpose of lower ing the curtain.

Ford prices are way under the price of other cars and what car can yuu buy ■ that will give you the real satisfaction and service that a Ford Car will give yop and one that the cost of maintenance will be as low? All automobile trade journals and automobilp critics report that there is bound to be another raise of air automobiles within the next 60 days. This is due to the fact that there is a great shortage of raw material combined with the numerous labor troubles that haye existed the past two years.

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 each bun, significant of the “Cross of Calvary.** Later, bakers began making Hot Cross Buns and selling them to the public, but none were sold or 'eaten until after 3:00 o’clock in tho afternoon of Good Friday. These Hot Cross Buns were a delicious, palatable morsel, made of the richest, highest grade materials that could be secured. This custom of Olden Times is still observed by those of this faith and many others. Knowing this we have secured an OLDEN RECIPE FOR HOT CROSS BUNS and.

KE.NA(»N, OF FREEPORT, BARRY COUNTY �THE HASTINGS BANNER THURSDAY. MARCH 25.’ 1920. Let’s Get Together, Men, and Work, Work, Work What a glorious opportunity rests in the palm of patriotic American men today Let us one and all strive for commercial supremacy­ strain every effort to Broaden the scope of our industrial prestige—let us do this bv work—indefatigable work—for the common good of all Americans. Are we working with the same vim, vigor and valiant ef­ fort as we fought? Are we holding the prestige in the eyes of the world that we won by our valorous and efficient performances, during the war? Are we doing today for America what we achieved for the world? We know how to light—and we fought well—but are we working well—with 100 per cent efficiency and persever­ ance? . When w^ fought, we did not fight by the hour—we fought until our task was done. The workmen today of Japan and tlie European natiohs are’working, not by the hour, but by the task and toward the attainment of a grand purpose—a fight for industrial and. commercial supremacy. Let no other nations overtake us in industrial progress. Let’s work because of our superior opportunities, resources and advantages. Let’s work for American leadership— let’s make America the ideal country in which to live. . Fight under-production so that Americans-may invade the markets of Europe rather than have our markets flooded with European goods. Let’s go beyond home consumption. Let us not let Bolshevism, Com­ munism, Socialism or any other “isms” spread their dogmas of easy living and short hours. Let’s work, not for ourselves, but for our country. Let’s work, not for today, but for posterity. But let’s get together, men, and work, work, work. � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/447/HastingsBanner_1920-03-25.pdf 01b14d3d2398fe0a65dfa4c5bf6f909d PDF Text Text THE SIXTY-FOURTH YEAR HASTINGS HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, MARCH 25, 1920 24 PAGES COMPANY'S MEMBERS [ALL FORD DOORS APPROVE NEW CHARTER DON’T FIT LOOSELY 02389404 BE UNANIMOUS PAVINO OP HANOVER AND BROADWAY UP TO VOTERS TO DECIDE MON APR. 5 STATE WILL SPEND $83,000 —CITY ONLY $21,250.15 Over Half of City's Share to Be .

Good Friday In Olden Tinies it was an English custom among those of Catholic faith to observe Good Friday as a day of fasting, and thoso 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 each bun, significant of the “Gross of Calvary.*' Later, bakers began making Hot Cross Buns and selling them to the.public, but none were sold or eaten until after 3:00 o'clock in tho afternoon of Good Friday. t These Hot Cross Buns were n delicious, palatable morsel, made of the richest, highest grade materials that could be secured. This custom of Olden Times is still observed by those of this faith and many others.

Lite Corporation has enjoyed a remarkable growth of business during the last year, due to the fact that the public has been quick to recognize the sujieriority of the Litscher Lite plant. Farm lighting dealers in all sections of the country are becoming Litscher Lite dealers and export shipments have been made all over the world. In fact, orders any far in advance of production. Prospects are so bright that it becomes imperative'for.the Litscher Lite Corporation to increase its manufacturing facilities and to obtain more working capi­ tal. The Litscher Lite Corjwration believes that product ion many times in excess of their present day record will be needed to real) the benefit of the present day preference for Litscher Lite plants. To offset the possibility of some other manufacturer usurping this market we are desirous of instantly rectifying the present condition of under­ production. . The Litscher Lite Corporation, therefore, makes-its first public offering of stock to careful investors who are thoroughly familiar with the farm lighting plant market or have confidence in the jxissibility of this new and growing industry. In connection with this it. may be said that the value of farm products for the year 1919 was over twenty-one billion dollars and that the farmer, more than any other class of citizens in the United States, has the money and the desire to buy.. We have the farm lighting and power plant which offers the best investment to the user; we nave the distribution: w^ need more capital to enable us to multiply production. We believe that the man who will usejthe Litscher Lite plant should have the opportunii-v to benefit from its manufacture and sale. We are going to enjoy greater prosjierity and'wish to share it with the small investor.

Sailing Rrpraxntatioo T The Standard Oil Company (Indi­ ana) recognizes this fact and leaves to others the drilling of wells, the operation of pipe lines, and the other activities incident to the production, storage, and transpor­ tation of petroleum. NATIONAL STARCH COMPANY H- Chtj.uL Manager 606 Ford Buildins Detroit, Mich. 'niiiff. Mr. t' time the Hhbwird, <>ra It buys its requirements of crude oil on the open market and pays the market price. The business which engages the at­ tention of the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) is the manufacture, distribution, and sale of the prod­ ucts of petroleum. NORTHEAST CARLTON, i-t Week’* J Au Friends nnd in The Company goes into-the oil fields and buys the Crude it wants from whoever has it for sale. In this way the Company is able to select with care the raw material it uses, and is not hampered in its ’ endeavor to render greater service by being tempted to use crude which is not exactly suited to its needs. By devoting allot its time to the business of refining and marketing, the Company is able to fulfil its obligation to the public by supplying petroleum products of the highest known standards—to maintain at all times a uniformity of quality—^and to manufacture in such volume and in such variety of forms—as to enable it to sell these products at a low price.

They are buying all man­ ner of hjgh grade equipment for the farm, including automobiles, trucksand tractors. But the best indication of their prosperity is their purchase of equipment to improve living conditions and lighten work in the farm home.

Thus have been developed products such as Parowax, which sen e such useful pur­ poses as a protective coating for cheese, meats, apd sausages; for match ends; for water-proofing milk bottle caps, ice cream pails, and paper drinking cups; and for scalingj presen-ed vegetables, fruits and jellies against bactferia, fermentsand mold. These arc but a few of the uses of one of the mere than 2000 products manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), covering needful commodities from asphalt to candles. , So vast a program could not be carried out except by a highly specialized organiza­ tion, developed to maintain numerous contacts with the world of production on one hand, .and with the consuming public on the other. - It was die need for such a specialized organization which led to the great de­ velopment of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana).

Announcement was recently macle by John Skelton Williams, Comptrol­ ler of the Currency, that of the* 18,240,300 depositors in NATIONAL’ BANKS, not one of them lost a cent during the year 1919. “The con­ . fidence," he says, “which our people have reposed, in the NATIONAL BANKS of the country is thus abundantly vindicated." CREME white teeth healthy Gunn 7j|EOPLE who use Klenzo Dental A Creme regularly, tell us that it keeps their teeth .white—their gums firm—and their mouths healthy, clean, and comfortable, with that Cocl, Clean, Kienio Feeling. And Klenzo is a safe dentifrice, approved by the dental profession because it does all that any dentifrkv ought to do. XX and a CLEAN MOUTH In the Comptroller’s annual report the significant fact is revealed- that the NATIONAL BANKS HAVE GROWN MORE IN THE LAST SIX YEARS THAN IN THE PRECEDING 51 YEARS. I V^^OENTAL B CREME Tile report* further shows that Capital, Surplus and Undivided Profits of all National Banks on December 31, 1919. amounted to $2,456,301,000 — an increase over December 31, 1918, of $162,688,000. The Hastings National Bank has contributed an honorable part in this phenomenal growth, our record for the past six years being as follows:—r CARVETH & STEBBINS The Ilexall Druggist6 Total Deposits of the Hastings National Bank in 1914, $521,600 Total Deposits in January, 1920 821,600 ,Phone 2131 Hastings, Mich.

Only the very choicest varieties of wheat are used in its manufacture, and the wheat is cleaned four times, scoured three times and actually washed once before going onto the rolls for the first break. This eliminates every particle of dirt from the -grain, making it impossible to preserve the natural flavor of the wheat. The result of careful, sanitary milling isj immediately apparent in LILY WHITE FLOUR, which bakes the most delicious bread and pastries you have ever eaten.

TheGasoline Problem This Name Comes to Mind First HE grave problem confronting the men in the petroleum Tserious-minded - industry today, is to keep pace in production with the seven-league strides of the demand for gasoline. In ten years the production of crude oil in the United States has increased only 96 per cent, while during the same period the output of gasoline has increased 560 per cent. • Federal Bond &MortgageCo. The demand for no other commodity in general use has increased to a degree that even approximates the mark reached ' by gasoline. In ten years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased its output of gasoline from 150 million gallons to more than 600 million gallons a years. When you cast about for a safe place to invest your funds doesn't . the Federal Bond and Mortgage Company come to mind first? SCHOOL SJEfOST. It is apparent that this could not have been accomplished except by intensive application of improved, scientific methods of refining. Perhaps not, but the chances are that it is the Federal Bond CS. Mortgage Co. Safe investment and the name of this company, we find, are ' linked in the minds of peoplp. As a matter of fact, the price of gasoline is held in bounds only by the sheer force of science. . - It is quite surprising to note the number of people- both men apd women—who come to us without having been approached either by one of our representatives or by letter. Except for the ability of such institutions as the Standard Oil Company (.Indiana) to make’a wide range of useful products from that part of the crude oil which is not used to make gasoline, you would be paying a much higher price for gaso­ line than you pay today. ■ In many cases they have been'impressed by the simple sincerity with which we tell in our daily advertising about the various issues of 6% First Mortgage Real Estate Sqrial Gold Bonds which we offer for investment. The Standard Oi) Company (Indiana) , is bending every effort to increase its output of gasoline to meet the demands and to sell it to you at as low a price as possible. RENEWEt) TESTIMONY In many other cases they are sent to us bj' friends who have dealt with us and who know us. But regardless of just how it happens that people think of this company when they think of safe investment, the essential thing to consider is that they do. Standard Oil Company (Itiiano) 910 So.

Either one without the other fails to give the purchaser value received for his money. ' In purchasing'Work Shoes it is import­ ant that you deal with a house of reliability. To the average person one shoe looks about the same as the other as far as appearances go. You need to have the personal reputation of the dealer back of every pair pf Work Shoes you buy. We urge you to call and see our line of Work Shoes. Our repu­ tation for being Barry County’s Leading Footwear Store stands squarely back of every pair of Work Shoes we sell.

When You Want a GOOD SMOKE Come Where The $moking Is Good If you’ve the slightest cause to suspect that your eyes need at­ tention. you should mark that down as the most important thing you have to do. Our experience pYoves that that is good .advice. It doesn’t make any difference whether you want Smoking Tobacco, Our experience also proves that people na a rule nre too slow to act when their eyes need atten­ tion. or some Good Cigars, we can satisfy your wants just the same. , Our stock is kept in dirt and dust proof Cabinets that are zinc lined. These are kept at just the RIGHT temperature at all times by a device that works automatically. The result is that when you buy your Cigars or Tobacco here you get more SATISFACTION for your money.

MICHIGAN t �THE PART THREE HASTINGS Thursday, April 29, 1920 BANNER THE REPUBLICAN county convention How much should I give to make this a better world? CERTAIN man in New York filled out his A income tax report. It showed an income so large that his tax w-.s 53%. And his total gifts to church and char­ ity for the year were $148. Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for*himself; and $143 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for al! church causes, is • —less than we spend for daily papers —less than ti local telephone call —less than a third of the day's car fare —less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80* of the ministers of America aie paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400.000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. Remember when the first automobile came io town It isnt because wt are selfish; it isn't because we don’t want to help. It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us. and asked us to think of the work of the church tn a systematic businesslike way.

It is the right and just due of every wear­ er of a Work Shoe to receive both Service and Comfort. Either one without the other fails to give the purchaser value received for his money. In purchasing Work Shoes it is import­ ant that you deal with a house of reliability. To the average person one shoe looks about the same as the other as far as appearances go. You need to have the personal reputation of the dealer back of every pair of Woijk Shoes you buy. We urge you to call and see our line of Work Shoes. Our repu­ tation for being Barry County’s Leading Footwear Store stands squarely back of every pair of Work Shoes we sell. We insist that they give both Service and Comfort, and you should demand it when making a purchase. .

These trucks have been placed in service in almost every known industry throughout the. world, a great gu ihtity of them having been used by this Government and its . I Hies for military purposes. They are now in use in twentythree foreign countries. In every industry in which the Nash Quad is used, it has earned the reputation of a reliable truck capable of unusual performance. Lite Nash Quad has a reputation in twenty-three different nations for its unusual hauling ability under abnormal conditions. It is known practically the world over for its performance where road conditions and traction conditions are bad—for its work in ■hauling loads where, if not impossible, it is* impractical for the rear driven truck to operate. Keeping roads in proper repair is work in which the Quad has been found invaluable. Its double traction efficiency and auto­ matic interlocking differentials, can haul and pull over bad roads, tvhich the. ordinary type of truck cannot negotiate. Tho Quad, under favorable conditions, has pulled three sec­ tions'of a three-way drag, each section having two eight-foot blades. • • In road building, it has handled satisfactorily an eight-foot grader for shaping the road, or two six-foot graders. In scarifying it has hauled a scarifier or plows as- conditions warranted. Verbiage, in Response to Re­ quest. ' The good wife knowd, As you’d suppose— Good bread when she tries it.

If you consider this you will buy a Cietrac Tank Type Tractor. NOW THE FACTS: Martin Boyson of Neeley, plowed 100 acres of muck ground where horses could not work without miring. Lymah Bros.,of Kibble, have a fruit orchard of 15,001) trees and his Cietrac will go under the trees without breaking the limbs and plow and disc with ease where other makes of tractor could not work at all. Arndt Bros, of Hopkins, Cietrac plowed on hills where other tractors could not Talk With CHAS. B. BENHAM, 222 W. Mill St., Hasting,. Lyle Bishop of Allegan, has used his Cietrac building roads, digging potatoes and skidding logs. Fay Brown of Plainwell, has a portable saw mill apd he uses his Cietrac in. the woods and says it will go through snow with a load where horses can't and will skid more logs than two teams.' MartinBoyson used his Cietrac filling silos. His Silo Filler was a large Kala­ mazoo and the Cietrac had plenty of power to handle it at full capacity. It matters not what kind of ground you have, the Cietrac will handle its load any place where four horses cah work. When it comes to belt power, put it on your silo filler, corn husker, medium size wheat thresher, wood saw, feed mill, etc. It .will give you perfect satisfaction.

Oust plain ig­ norance and neglect is the cause of the loss of so much fruit. There are mahy who doubtless do not know ’ why their- fruit trees, vines nnd bushes do not produce. There are others who do know and take no steps to improve the conditions. The season of fruit bloom is at hand and ih a few days the trees will be a mass of beauty.—Then is the vital period.—Millions of buds, and blossoms will lie destroyed by destructive little insects ami* the fruit crop lost or badly damaged unless these insects are killed Read the next column of this ad and ■learn how 'to do it.

Battle Creek, Michigan In selecting your tractor why don’t you get one that will work anywhere four horses can plow or harrow? If you consider this you will buy a Cletrac Tank Type Tractor. NOW THE FACTS: Martin Boyson of Neeley, plowed 100 acres of muck ground where horses could not work without miring. Lyman Bros, of Kibbie, have a fruit orchard of 15,000 trees and his.Cletrac will go'under the trees without breaking the limbs and plow and. disc with ease where! other makes of tractor could not work at all. Arndt Bros, of Hopkins, Cletrac plowed on hills where other tractors could not Lyle Bishop of Allegan, has used his Cletrac building roads, digging potatoes and skidding logs. * • Fay Brown of Plainwell, has a portable saw mill and he uses his Cletrac in the woods and says it will go through snow with a load where horses can’t and will skid more logs than two teams. ' . Martin Boyson used his Cletrac filling silos. His Silo Filler was a large Kala­ mazoo and the Cletrac had plenty of power to handle it at full capacity. It matters not what kind of ground you have, the Cletrac will handle its load any place where four horses can work. When it comes to belt power, put it on your silo filler, corn husker, medium size wheat thresher, wood saw, feed mill, etc. It will give you perfect satisfaction.

Now consider this record: One Rep “Speed-Wagon” now has to its credit more than 330,000 miles—and still adding to that mjleage daily—that’s thirteen times around the world. * It is one of a flpet of passenger busses running between Los Angeles and Anahcirn on a daily ■ schedule as regularly as any railway train. In the same city—Los Angeles—is a fleet of ten Reo “Speed-Wagons’.’ each of which now has an average of over I 50,000 miles! These latter are engaged in picking up and de­ livering laundry. Do you know of any other Motor truck that h^s. or can, equal those records made by Reo “Speed­ Wagons” in every-day service? Hastings Buick Agency HASTINGS, MICHIGAN. GEO. W. QUIRK, Proprietor.

Such a habit formed in childhood brings satisfac­ tion and cdmfprt, 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 "To­ morrow”—are taught the great habit of "Thrift" and "Saving" so that later in life when they shalLbe 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 do not KNOW HOW to lay away part of what they earn each week. TEACH THEM TO SAVE.

MAY 2U. 1920. toel Clings Wonderfully 4 to 16 Bushels More Corn Per Acre You don’t hove to devote more time to the work, or go to unusual trouble to get this extra crop—merely use acorn planter that drops the right number of kernels in each nnd every hill. Missing only four kernels out of every 100 that should be planted means a loss of four bushels per acre. Planting 4 or 5 ker­ nels where only three will'thrive means a waste of seed, smaller earsand possibly barren stalks. The soil will support a certain number of ker­ nels to the best advantage. You can-plant the exact number in 'practically each and every hill if you use one of the John Deere No. 999 Corn Planters that wc have for sale. This planter pays for itself in a short time through the profits it makes by plant­ ing in every hill exactly the desired number of kernels. Fanners in all com-growing sections rely on it for the proper stand? that bring the extra bushels- Ixcuurc it is pure. And delightfully fragrant--perfumed with Jonteel, the ecAtly new odor of 26 flower*. Try Fucc Powder Jantecl. The “Counting Out" Method of the 999 gives you the accuracy that you would get if you painstakingly counted out and dropped the kernels by hand. And the Variable Drop Device enables, you to vary the drop to accord with the varying fertility of the field. Without stopping the team or leaving the seat, you can change the drop to two, three or four kernels—always the. exact number desired. Merely shift a foot lever to make the change. Change from hilling to drilling or viceversa is made instantly by means of foot lever. Nine drilling distances’ can be secured, without changing plates. It plants great vari­ ety of seed without changing cut-off. Fertilizer and Pea Attachments can be furnished—either one or both can be used when planting com.

The Food Supply of the Future UTHORITIES agree that the food supply of the future depends upon the increased use of mechunical power on the farm. The tractor, motor truck, stationary gas engine, and the automobile, all dependent upon cheap, efficient motor fuel, have multiplied the efficiency of human labor, thereby in­ creasing the acreage a man can handle. In 1919 farmers owned 8,900,405 of the 7,523.064 automotive vehicles registered in the United States'. These figures give a fair idea of the use being made of motor vehicles in producing and distributing food products. There is no more prolific food producing area in the world than the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). To serve the farmers of the Middle West is a major part of the Standard Oil Com­ pany’s business. For that reason the dark, green tank wagon of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is recognized by the farmer us serving an indispensable need in promoting the increase of food products. —this is the word which stands fur highest quality in' everything which has Richelieu on its label. There are many families in Hastings who use only this brand of products in their home. , If you haven’t used any of these you better send us a trial order. E. C.

Standard Oil Company ftaAsas) 910 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago Hastings, Mich brnuUfnl lake shore Making the Shoe Fit the Foot O NE of the outstanding the efficiency of the St_____ Company (Indiana) is its ability to expand to meet conditions. In 1919 there were 1,434,909 more motor vehicles in the United.States than in 1918. This enormous increase in automotive power made necessary a vast increase of distribution facilities in order that your . car, wherever it might be, should never lose its usefulness because of an empty gasoline tank. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) anticipated this increasing demand and met it amply in the eleven states it serves with a fleet of 4306 motor trucks, a caravan of horse-drawn wagons, and a little army of 530,000 iron barrels, so that even in remote distiicts no tractor, truck or pleasure car, need lie without fuel at any time. Take into consideration the fact that of tlie 1,434,909 new motor vehicles put into service in 1919, approximately 573,961 went to fai ms, pnd you will appreciate the necessity for this vast distributive system. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) appreciates that the automobile has passed from the realm of luxury and has become an essential, and that gasblme to run- it has become an industrial necessity. The Company takes pride in the fact that it has met this need in the spirit of service, that it has been keen in anticipating the wants of the public, and efficient in satisfying them through the most perfect distribution system in the world.

Be Short and Drastic, in 15 Months OUR FUEL ihe minds of rfliniiy regarding And Some Facts Concerning It Our contracts for coal for 1919 expired recently and we are unable to make a new con­ tract on^any terms. The prices being quoted us today are 200 per cent over what we paid under our 1919 contract. ■ ’ , The production of good gas requires a particularly good grade of coal —coal which con­ . tains less than I percent sulphur. It has been almost impossible for us to get any coal which can be used in producing gas. We would have been obliged to shut down entirety ’ only that we received a quantity of oil which enables us to continue making gas. The cost of oil which has always been almost prohibitive, is 100 per cent more than last year, and its scarcity makes it a fuel which is both expensive and extravagant. I . Two Reasons Why Coal Is Hard to Get 1st—There is a car shortage. Under government management there was very little done in the way.of car renewals, less than 40 per cent. In view of the great ihr.|j)ase in volume of shipping there not only should have been 100 per cent renewals but an increase to care for the increased volupie. 2nd—Labor troubles, with which all are familiar, have made coal min­ ing and .transportation a very difficult problem. Our patrons can readily see these are condition^ over which we have no control and while they last We are at their mercy, and must ask your indul­ gence. .

The big demand for goods has kept prices high and labor is only from 40 per cent efficient. To keep labor 100 per rent ciUcient we need competition. Profits have in-' ereased but were higher in 1017 than they uro now. •‘Ever increasing coat and ever in­ creasing inefficiency will bring finan cial depression which may eome within fifteen months.

Every cost entering into the making of gasoline has risen immensely. The cost oi crude, the cost of refining, und the cost of marketing are all greater than ever before. The Standard Oil.Company (Indiana) by superior efficiency in every process of refining and dis­ tributing has contributed in no small degree to hold the .price of gasoline down to its present level. Every man in the manufacturing end of the Standard Qil Company (Indiana) is keenly alive to the pressing necessity for an increased output of gasoline at a minimum manufacturing cost. The ideal toward which the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) is striving, is to-put Red Crown, a gasoline of known, standard quality, within the reach of motorists everywhere in the Middle West, at a price so low as to make possible the free use of that 25 percent increase in automotive vehicles which is anticipated for 1920.

Do you know that only ten per cent of the hay marketed grades “choice;”20 to 30 per cent is No. 1, and the resjt No. 2, ? or No Grade? There is usually a difference of $10.00 per ton between choice and No. 3 hay. In nearly every instance hay that grades poor would have been choice or No. 1 if cured properly—air cured. The Dain system of curing hay makes high-grade hay. This is a simple method of harvesting hay. You merely follow the mower with «i Dain System Rake; you rake wliile the leaves are still, active/placing the hay on clean stubble in medium size loose wind­ rows with the bulk of the leaves inside and tlie- majority of tlie stems outside. This can be done successfully only with-a PRICES Medel K-44 ■ *1595.00 Medrl K-«5 . »1595.00 Medel K-46 - *2235.00 Medel K-47 • *2445.00 MmfeJ K-*9 . (IIK5.00 Model IC-50 ■ *2*95.00 F. O. B. FBat. Mirk. rake with an inclined frame, and the Dain System is the rake with the inclined frame. The frame is low at the front end and increases in height toward the rear— its capacity increases as the volume of hay increases. The frame being low at the front end and set slightly ahead of tlie tooth bars causes the hay to come up against the fratme and pitch forwaid into a loose coil, placing the leaves inside and the stems outside—most of the-rnoisture evaporates with no loss of leaves or foliage. it may be necessary to turn the hay over two or three times on account of bad weather conditions.

PAGE «7/ie Semi-Annual Several from thyt vMMtg a- lesd.-d The Value of Your Crop Barry County primarily should be a dairy county. It is doubtless true that nearly half our farm products are market­ ed as dairy products. The prosperity, then, of our county depends very largely on the amount and value of the dairy products these crops make. Conditions over which we have no control flj the value to a great extent, BUT, the amount produced is very largely up to you. Estimate the present annual value of Barry county’s dairy pro­ ducts at three million dollars, and suppose that by better dairy methods practiced by everyone in the cow business this amount were doubled in the next five years without increasing the number of cow*, or the labor required, and this is entirely a possible and reasonable proposition. The effect here would be as though we had discovered gold or strufk.uil, only better, as, instead of a few being behefltted, as is usu. idly the case in propositions of that kind, the distribution of this extra three million dollars would be general. ' > And consider further that if it now takes three-fourths of the dairy income to pay production costs, doubling the production would increase actual profit* four time*. ~ __ l Clearing *fale of Coats and Mts Mr*.

What makes a bank desirable is the power behind its walls, the power exemplified in the character oY its management. • igan i* pnnul of !w-r gr M The importance of this saving of time may be realized when we learn that for 1920 Iowa is short 50,000 farm hands. Similar conditions are reported from the Middle West generally. This presents a serious problem. The answer is gasoline power used in tractor, truck and automobile. The food supply of the future depends upon gasoline. Last year the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) provided the Middle West with power for 10,438,000 motor miles a day. Much of this went to the farms to help multiply the crops. Much of it was used in motor trucks to nelp; the farmer get his crops to market. The demand for gasoline was great, and theii Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was ready with the supply. That silent, watchful readi­ ness was based upon the foresight and re­ sourcefulness of an organization trained to its task through years of experience. The manufacture of gasoline is not' the sole function of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Equally important is its service of placing the gasoline where the consumer can get it easily and quickly. More than 1,300 Service Stations and over 7,000 tank wagons and trucks are operated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to make gasoline and lubricating oils constantly available for increasing the 1920 crops.

Use LILY WHITE for bread, biscuits and pastry and you'll be proud of your baking. Women who use LILY WHITE FLOUR find it absolutely satisfactory. It is guaranteed. VALLEY CITY MILLING CO. Charity.

A Faw of the Leading Features of the Sunday During the past eight years, thousands of Jahn Deere Binders have worked under every possible and adverse condition that could confront any machine in the harvest field. All the extremes, both of 'climate and operating difficulties in grain harvesting, Were'present to a marked degree during the seasons. The severe drought of one year, extending over large areas, resulted in'much light grain in many sections. Straw was short and irregular. • , ■ Later, conditions were the reverse, the season being unusually wet. Grain straw was the heavies t ever known. Much of the grain was either down flat on the ground or a tangled 'mass. These condi­ tions, in addition to continuous rains during harvest, made the cut­ ting season one long to be remembered, but the John Deere, the Bet­ ter Binder, maintained an unbroken-record of success as the highest type of grain binder and as a machine that will, always appeal to the man who believe^ there is real economy in using the best. Higher Wheels with Wider Tires Reduce Draft f Both the main and grain wheels are made of steel. They are of the suspension type. Each spoke bears its part of the load. The main wheel tire is flanged .and grooved to increase'ita strength and durability. The tire flanges are shaped to in­ crease the tread in soft ground.. Ample traction is furnished even-under severe con­ ditions, and side draft is lessened. ‘ : d ifjqtiil daughter. Steel Roller Bearings are Used in Both Wheels Roller bearings, universally recognized as a means of lightening draft and re­ ducing wear, are used in both the drive wheel ^nd grain wheel. Personal Hot-Riveted Main Frame—Bearing Supports Forged in Frame Sills The extra wide main sills, lap-jointed and hot-riveted, provide a permanent structure to support the principal working parts. Attention is directed to the main drive and crankshaft bearing supports. Being forged in the frame sills, no extra bolts, brackets or castings are used. The -hearings cannot get out of alignment.

The third .packer materially assists in shaping the bundles, and with proper adjustment of the adjuster, good bundles can be formed in practically all .kinds of grain. The third packer will be appreciated*especially in tangled grain, or in grain that is irregular in length. . • • The John Deere Packer Shaft is drop-forged, high-grade hardened steel. All the bearing surfaces on this shaft are finished accurately and smoothly. The packer and bearing box caps are provided with shims to Lake up the wear. Special oil cups pre­ vent oil from being thrown out. This one-piece shaft corries a third pucker—a great advantage, especially in short grain or long, tangled grain. 1 The needle tfliaft is also made of drop-forged, high-carbon- kteel to insure the ac­ curate operation of the needle in carrying the twine to tho knotter. Heavy Canvas—Concave Slats The canvas used on John Deere Binders is made of heavy duck, 2 ounces heavi­ er than is used on other makes'of binders, with strong straps riveted to the sluts us Folding Dividers Both the inner and outer dividers are folded quickly to narrow the machine^ to pass through gates when on transport trucks.

SMITH, Jr. 2251 - Binder Deck with Unusual Capacity—Three Packer* Special Prices on Meats For Saturday 28c Canvas Tighteners Positive in Action- The lower roller of both upper and lower elevators and the outside roller on the platform can be instantly adjusted to tighten or lousen the canvases by means of conveniently located levers. Because both ends of the rollers are adjusted equally, keeping them parallel with the other rollers, there is no twisting and warping strain on tfoe canvas, nor is there any danger of the slats being ripped off. The outer platform roller is spring-mounted. These springs nt both ends of the roller act as an automatic tightener. The variation in-the length of the canvas, caused by atmospheric conditions, is automatically cared for by this spring-mounted roller construction. ♦ SEPT. 13th to48th, 1920 Round Steak Sirloin Steak Bologna . . Hamburg Steak...... Rib Roast, boneless roll Shoulder Roasts ... . Ribs of Beef Like the main frame, the platform of the John Deere Binder is made to last. The steel front sill, the steel rear sill, the four cross sills on the 7 and 8-foot sizes, and the one-piece steel bottom are all qlosely riveted together. To add to the stiff­ ness and rigidity of the platform, a wood sill is firmly bolted to both sides of the steel rear angle sill. This construction adds to the life and easy operation of the cut­ ting and other working parts. - Hastings, Mich. Mr. hud Mt.-. Arthur .Hlmbk and Mr. mH Mr*.

Some of our patrons have come to us during the past and told us that, comparing the price of butterfat in cTeam with our milk price, they were not getting enough for their skim-milk. Wo. agree with them that this was so, due of course to the rela­ tively high price of butter at'this season of the year. . It is only fair, however, to compare prices for the entire twelve months, as a market for milk or cream is required ti year around, and is"what counts hi the end. • There is so much good, highly nourishing human food in milk, in addition to the fat, that you can not afford to make a practice' of skimming your milk, when you are able to sell it as market milk for condensing purposes. * This is generally recognized among dairymen who have thoroughly tried both methods. ■ • After bping without a condensing market for some time the dairy­ men in Ingham county made every effort and offered substantial induce­ ments to another concern to establish a condensary at Mason.***Many other localities are looking forward to the establishment of a condensary as the.best murket-for their milk. The process of evolution in the dairy industry seems to have been first the cheese factory, *vhen the amount of milk available is relatively small. This is followed by the creamery when the milk supply is some­ what increased, and.later, in the good dairying localities, when the milk supply becomes large, a condensary is usually* established. In every instance of this kinef the condensary’ has* proved to be the most profitable milk market, and will continue to be so. An average comparison for a year between condensary prices aiid butterfat prices will show why this is so. Approximately our average price for 3.5 milk for 1919 was $3.17, and the average price paid for butterfat in cream for the same period was about $ .604. Presuming that your separator gets out all the cream, Which .it doesn’t, the cream'frum 100 pounds of 3.5 mijk was worth on an aver­ age for the entire year $2.11. This means-that the dairyman who sold cream had about 85,pounds of skim-milk out of each 100 poumtaof whole milk, for which he paid $1.06 or at the rate of $1.24 per hundred, as the hauling cost is more than offset by the hand separator skimming low, labor of Separating, caring for separator, and its interest and depreciation. You cannot afford to use as stock food skim-milk costing you $L24 per hundred. Hastings Condensed Milk Company a few'lay* but week nt the I Mr. nnd Sir-. J- E. Madge. Mr. nnd Mr*. L. E.

IN‘HANDS PoJiHcally Speaking (When He: Squelched Police Strike —He Won l<)ut Ask Yourself Governor THESE QUESTIONS Then Do a Little Thinking The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough considera­ tion to our financial affairs. We get money and go ahead and spend it, 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 comYnence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it ia that we face the specter of old age, without income and without means. This little statement sums iip the life experience of a large number of peo­ ple. The AIM of this Bank is to be HELPFUL—to render genuine SERV­ ICE. Tjiat’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:I “Do / 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 ^ou 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.

In view of the decrease of man-power on the farms, the importance of motor-power is demonstrated easily. With hand-labor the time required to produce a bushel of wheat-was a little over three hours. With improved machinery this has been reduced to ten minutes. Power machin­ ery has multiplied the power of man eighteen times. The gasoline engine is the only power unit embracing all requirements for farm work. It looks as though it is up to gasoline to grub­ stake society. For years hand-labor has been leaving the fa mis and motor-power has been taking its place. Long ago the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) realized that if America was to maintain its bounteous crop production there must be close cooperation between the Company and the farmer; therefore, the Company proceeded to build up through the farm districtsHof the Middle West the most complete system of distribution of oil products in the world. This delivery system with its 3,780 bulk sta­ tions, its 7,000 motor trucks and tank wagons, its 1,300 Service Stations, arid its personnel of 10,000 trained men, could not be built up in a mouth or in a year. It is the result of long and patient effort. This immense system for the production and distribution of gasoline and other petroleum products is complete, installed and in full oper­ ation now, when it is needed as never before.

All the extremes, both of climate and operating difficulties in grain harvesting, were present to a marked degree during the seasons. The severe drought of one year, extending over large areas, resulted in much light grain in many sections. Straw was short and irregular. Later, conditions were the reverse, the season being unusually wet. Grain straw was the heavies t ever known. Much of the grain was either down flat on the ground or a tangled mass. These condi­ tions, in addition to continuous rains during harvest, made the cut­ ting season one long to be remembered, but the John Deere, the Bet­ ter Binder, maintained an unbroken record of success as the highest type of grain binder, and as a machine that will always appeal to me man who believes there is real economy in using the best. During the last year we bought'very heavily in low shoes so that this season our customers could have the advantage of a wide selection in low footwear. Then the extreme lateness of the warm days this spring shortened the low shoe season and rather than carry over .our large stock of low shoes we are going to give you the advantage of a 20'’ Reduction on every low shoe in stock except white—and This means every member of the family. . The 20 per cent applies to Men’s, Women’s and Children’s Oxfords and Pumps, Includ­ ing Footwear for the Little Folks. This is a real bona fide sale and every man and woman should take advantage of the low prices wb offer. . We have> usually had a sale of low shoes every summer, but it has been later. This sea­ son we are going to give you the ^vantage of buying early at a Very low price and have the benefit of your purchase through the heat of Higher Wheel* with Wider Tires Reduce Draft Both the main and grain wheels are made of steel. They are of the suspension type. Each spoke bears its pprt of the load. The main wheel, tire is flanged nnd grooved to increase its strengtlvand durability. The* tire flanges are shaped to in­ crease the tread in soft ground. Ample traction is furnished even under severe con­ ditions, and side draft is lessened. * ” Steel Roller Beariogi are tired in Both Wheel, Roller bearings, universally recognized as a means of lightening draft and re­ ducing wear, are used in both the drive wheel and grain wheel.

The extra wide main sitts, lap-jointed and hot-riveted, provide a permanent structure to support the principal working parts. Attention is directed to the main drive and crankshaft bearing supports. Being forged in the frame sills, no extra bolts, brackets or castings are used. The bearings cannot get out of alignment. : of women’s oxfords* and selling at $l.75*per pair— Roller Searing Shafts with Seif-Aligning Boxes The superior construction of the main frame bearing supports provide -excellent means for mounting both the mam drive and crank shafts nnd their self-aligning boxes. The clutch spring is entirely inclosed to prevent winding of straw. All-Steel Platform with Reinforced Rear Sill Like the main frame, the platform of the John Deere Binder is made'to last. The steel front sill, the steel rear sill, the four cross sills on the 7 and 8-foot sizes, and the one-piece steel bottom are all closely riveted together. To add to the stiff­ ness and rigidity of the platform, a wood sill is firmly bolted to bothr sides of the steel rear angle sill. This construction adds to the life and easy operation of the cut­ ting and other working parts.

These springs nt both ends of the roller act as an automatic tightener. • The variation ih the length of the canvas, caused by atmospheric conditions, is automatically cared for by this spring-mounted roller construction. Binder Deck with Unusual Capacity—Three Packers • Extra largo space is provided over the steep binder deck to prevent choking in heavy grain. The third packer materially assists in shaping the bui^lles,*and with proper adjustment of the adjuster, good bundles can be formed in practically all kinds of grain. The he third packer will be appreciated especially in tangled grain, or in grain that is irregular in length. The John Deere Packer Shaft is drop-forged, high-grade hardened steel. All the bearing surfaces on this shaft' are finished accurately and smoothly. The packer and bearing box caps are provided with shims to take up the tyeiy. • Special oil cups prpveitf oil from being thrown out.

(Continued from last week) During the past decade Hastings has been growing. It has had a good healthy increase in population. Many new homes have been built and many streets have been improved and others opeped. These have caused an increased demand for Gas and Electric Service—in several in­ stances a demand which has been hard to meet. If Hastings continues to grow, as every good citizen hopes it will, and as we sfheerely believe it wi!lk there is sure to be a much greater demand for increase of lines and mains ip nearly every direction from the center of the city, and we are gopig to be compelled to meet this demand if Hastings people are to enjoy the advantages that are enjoyed by those other cities. At Present We Are Building a line to the new factory of the Piston Ring Co., to supply them with power, at a cost of........................................ $ 1000.00 We have been obliged to enlarge our mains on Elast Mill street, and also East Madison, near the Bliss Co. plant to accommodate the new homes and meet the increased demands for gas, also West Walnut street,.at a cost df............................ $1 2000.00 We are expecting to be called upon to put in extensions of our gas mains on Hanover and North Broadway, as it will be necessary to have this work completed before those streets are paved. We feel that you are entitled to this information, but please bear in mind that we have mentipned in this story, this week and last, only the more important things which we are doing and will be called upon to do during this summer and the coming year. When using gas and electricity keep in, m ind the worry an4 expense which this service demands from your humble servants.

Do not water again until tlx? Then Do a Little Thinking The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough considera­ tion to our financial affairs. We-get money and go ahead and spend it, 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 tb 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.

Down here in our offices at 90 Griswold Street we tabulate and cheqk with careful accuracy all the various sources from • which our customers come to us. Many, we find, are sent us by bankers and lawyers whose ad­ vice they have sought as to sound investment. 1 Others come to us inspired by the favorable impression our advertising has created in their minds. You, yourself, no doubt have observed the simple sincerity with which we urge in the daily papers the particular value of our offerings of 6% First Mortgage Real Estate Serial Gold Bonds. , But the most interesting fact disclosed upon examination of these sales records we speak of above is, that a simply amaz­ ing number of our customers are brought to us by their friends who have dealt with us and know us. As an actual matter of fact we have comparatively few cus­ tomers who have not been responsible for sending us one or more other customers. ‘ As yon ean well imagine, if is intensely gratifying to us to know that we so transact our business as to win such warm friendliness and active interest in our behalf.

No man, whatever | hit political faith, will question for ai moment that Senator Harding is amply qualified to realize tho program of re formation and reconstruction that hipnrty hn. laid out for him.

He prefers to pay4us way and ask no favors. < T People have no objection to paying the right price for a commodity once they know what the right price is. The right price for gasoline is based first, on the cost of crude oil; second, on the cost of refining; and third, on the cost of distributing the refined product. During the War prices were fixed by Governmental demand rather than by natural law. The’ very kw prices obtaining in 1915 were due to two causes—first, to ultra-conservatism due to uncertainty; second, to the spectacular production of oil in the Cushing fields, a pro­ duction which dwindled almost as magically as it increased. Since the Armistice the cost of every item entering into the production, refining, and distribution of petroleum products, nas in­ creased to an unprecedented degree. The production of crude petroleum has not kept pace with the demand. This has caused fierce competition for such crude oil as is obtainable. This competition has forced the price of crude up until it is costing the Standard Oil / Company (Indiana), f. o. b. Whiting, $430 a/l barrel, as against $2.92 on Nov. 11,1918 — an increase of 47 percent. Yet in the same period gasoline advanced in price but 24 percenL A Only through the efficiency of large scale refinery practice and through advanced scien­ tific processes of extracting an ever increas­ ing percentage of gasoline from-the crude oil, has the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) been able to hold gasoline prices down to Pte4799 rtockfiS^yield S rcturn It is generally conceded in the petroleum industry that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is operating on tlie closest margin possible.

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 VUANT 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. 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?

Phone 2115 Hastings, Mich. United States Tires SKINNER’S GARAGE / �thf habtikiis banttkb FACT TWBLVB ■nrrnutDAY, THE NEW Studebaker Light-Six . For years tho evolution of the motor car has been towards a LIGIIT-SIX as the logical car to meet public demand, and Studebaker has, therefore, designed nnd produced the car to fill this requirement. . The new Studebaker LIGIIT-SIX is a five-passenger, six-cylinder. 40-II-. p. autdmohile of 112-inch wheelbase. It sets a new standard of achievement in automobile engineering for re­ fined and improved design, scientific distribution and exact balance of car weight, qutfk ac­ celeration and power, smoothness nnd quietness of performance, ease of operation and con­ trol, economy of fuel and maintenance. Before Studebaker engineers and executives approved the LIGHT-SIX and released it for production, five sample models were built for extensive tests ami experiments—in the Stude­ baker laboratories, the methods and standards Department as'tn steels and materials, the Ex­ perimental Department as to dynamometer tests of motors, transmissions, axles and chassis, and then over 50,000 miles of roads of every description throughout the country. While the cars demonstrated satisfactorily under the strenuous tests in the East, one was given severer punishment in’the Golden West.. A car wns driven across the country over the Rockies to the Pacific Coast, where, on California’s wonderful roads in the Yosemite and Sier­ ras, it was subjected to every trinl and test which automobiles can encounter in the severest” use. .In the mountains, its power, brakes nnd carburetion nf high-altitudes were proven satis­ factory. In thusands and heat of the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona, power and carbu­ retion at low altitudes and torrid hent were found correct* Upon return-to the factory, the car was disassembled and every part inspected for wear and defects, with the gratifying reve­ lation that there were no defects and that the wear was negligible. This new Studebaker car is manufactured complete.in the new, modern automobile plant, built by Studebaker at South Bend, at a cost which will ultimately reach .$ 15,000,000. - This plant is equipped with new machinery and every known mechanical appliance for accurate and economical quantity production, and is unexcelled in America in this respect. Studebaker uses materials of the best grade obtainable to make the new LIGHT-SIX the highest quality, most durable and economical light car yet produced. . The body of the LIGHT SIX was designed and is manufactured complete in the Studebaker factory. It is sturdy, strong, free from rattles and will last indefinitely. It is finished in black enamel and upholstered in French plaited genuine leather. Workmanship is of super­ ior quality throughout. —And Studebaker Has Created Another Precedent in Motor Car Values—THE STUDE­ BAKER LIGHT-SIX IS THE FIRST CAR AT ITS PRICE WITH CORD TIRES AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT. The LIGHT-SIX ia made id three body styles, aa foliowa—Five-Passenger Touring Car, Five-Passenger Sedan, and Three-Passenger La ndau-Roadater. We want you to see this new car. ' • GOODYEAR BROS. HDW.

We use the "six-break" system. ^Lo ’h° ch°'cest “ear^ wheat finally becomes LILY You See the Quality in Your Baking The color, texture arid uniformity of LILY WHITE show in everything you bake from it. Bread, rolls, biscuits, cake and pie-crust all reflect the quality of fee wheat, the care in milling. In lightness, in flavorJn nounshment, you get in this flour more for your money.

Playing No Favorites HE crude petroteum market playa no favorites. AM refiners come to it on . equal terms. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is no exception to this rule, w buys the crude oil it needs in the open market and pays the market price. Only an’ infinitesimal part of the crude oil used by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) comes from wells in which it has even an indirect interest. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) concen­ trates its attention upon the highly special­ ised business of refining crude oil. It sticks to its knitting. the demand for the refined oleum baa more than ase in the production T This growing demand, phis the increased cost of drilling and equipping wells, has caused the price of crude petsoleum to advance. The markrt price oi crude oil is a dominant factor in the price which the Stan^rd Oil Company (Indiana) charges for gasoline. Wherever possible the Company anticipates the trend of the market in making its con­ tracts for crude petroleum. Wiatever bene­ fits it derives accrues to the public in lower gasoline prices. The price charged by the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) for gasoline has advanced, but not to the extent warranted by the ad: vance in the cost of audeotL || The cost of this commodity to the consumer would be very much higher were it not for the fact that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), through move efficient refining methods, is able to utilize and metre into useful products all portions of the cnide petroleum. The extreme economy and efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) refining and distributing methods have acted as a deterrent upon tho upward trend of gasoline prices.

OUR NEW FOUNTAIN IS A WINNER Virtues'of The New Fountain One day last week in Grand Rapids the writer of this ad. had four drinks of Coca Cola, one from each of four places, and each • drink tasted different. In each case they were mixed by hand and according to the special idea of the attendant. Drinks from our new fountain are always the same and always just right for they are mixed automatically and correctly to bring out the desired flavor and sweetness. The New Fountain is one of the most sani­ tary and perfect inventions for dispensing Soft drinks that has ever been conceived. It was designed and built especially for us. Built of marble with nickel plated taps, it ’ is so constructed that six different kinds of carbonated soft drinks may be drawn from its Arctic coldness, each one mixed in the correct proportion. . * . A large number have been in to see this new fountain and we are anxious to have you call and see it and sample its nectars. - Hundreds of icy drinks have been drawn from its frigid depths since last week. Those who have tasted come back for more because of the rich­ ness and refreshment of the sparkling goblet. We have gone just as far as it is possible for us to go in equipping our store with the latest devices and most popular and invigorating” drinks. We have spared no ex­ pense in our effort!* to give you the very latest and greatest service. Whether you desire a drink at the bar or wish a few bottles to take with you to the lake or on a trip our service is just the same. x Our Bottled Goods Irish Moss, Virginia Dare Logan Berry, Clicquot Club Ginger Ale and Sarsaparilla Gralno Beer, light and dark Our New Fountain Drinks are Ginger Ale, Grape, Orange Green River, Root Beer, ■ Coca-Cola Carbonated Logan Berry Grenadine High Ball Imported from Holland k Our Cigars ahd Tobaccos If you desire anything in the way of Cigars or Tobacco we can supply you.

Oakland, Nash and Franklin Autos Used Cars Three of the very best automobiles on the American market— each a leader in its class. Each of these cars stands upon its char­ acter and reputation for service, and comfort. Powerful motors, hand­ some appointments, roomy bodies, richly upholstered interiors and durable construction make these cars leaders in their classes. These machines can be best appreciated by close investigation and a dem­ onstration. r. . We have a number of Used Cars—mighty good ones—they are in shape to render you service and you will make no mistake in buying one of them. We can arrange easy terms for you. ■ A Full Line of Accessories and Goodyear and Mc­ Graw Tires—We make our own adjustments. Our Truck Department No greater truck value can be purchased for the same amount of money than that obtained from the trucks we sell. Those who have bought trucks from us will vouch for the service we render our pa­ trons. If you are in the market for a truck which will stand the wear and tear see the NASH.

Continuing, £he gentleman said: “I can con­ ceive how the cost of a manufactured article might increase as much as 50 to 100 percent because of the increased cost of raw materials, labor, etc.j.but it has always seemed to me that the price of a product taken from the ground at a comparatively low cost should not be affected to any marked degree.” This constitutes a fair question, and we are glad of an opportunity to answer it frankly. Gasoline is refined from crude petroleum by a lengthy and expensive process, and K in the tnwst sense, a man­ ufactured article. Time, labor, and heavy investments enter into the manufacture of gasoline from the crude, and each of these necessarily affect the price. The curt of crude is a dominant factor in fixing the price uf gcjohne. The extraordinary demand for petroleum productr. plus the abnormal incrcrtses in the enrt of labor, machinery, and rroncy n-rrssary tor drilling and equipping cd wells, have •mmlnned to force upwards the price of crude vil f.al.

For. the eame period-the telling price of gasoline has increased but 44 percent Since the Armistice was signed, the production of auto­ mobiles, tractors, tracks, and other power using machin­ ery, has created a. demand for gasoline far in excess of normal. Gasoline reten c, haw been reduced to on alarm­ ing extent, and the bidding tor crude oil fan the part uf refiners generally, has forced prices upward. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) having practically no wells of its own is obliged to go into the open market and compete with other refiners for the crude oil it require*. Because of its acknowledged superior efficiency in manu­ facturing. the Standard (hl Company (Indiana) despite these conditions has Ix-cn able to exert a marked deterrent pressure upon the upward swixp of the gasoline market underwent au Churlr* Shrine Jain.

Milk [in 1920 (Wisconsin Is Our Sister State) Fifty years ago the farmers of Wisconsin had a vision of their State as the big dairy State of the Union—today their vision is realized—1920 ^hows Wisconsin ^with 1,846,000 dairy cows, an increase of almost 40,000 over 1919. ' These figures don’t tell it all. Each year the herds are of better strain, the scrubs weeded out and each herd brought up to a higher standard. z A fleet of 247 five-thousand-ton boats would have been required to carry Wisconsin’s dairy products for 1919, a total Weight of 2,188,513,991 lbs., valued at $277,583,052.25. Michigan is aJGoodJState Michigan is just as well adapted to the dairying in: dustry as Wisconsin—all’it lacks is the "vision” of the farmers and when they see the "vision" the dairying busi­ ness will grow by leaps and Michigan will take her place as one of the great dairying states of the Union. BARRY COUNTY FARMERS Wake Up! Get the great “vision” of Barry county as one of the leading counties of the state in dairying. If every herd was up to standard and every farmer had a good herd the farm products of Barry county would be millions of dollars where now they are thousands.

Positively the Finest Flour Milled in America The making of fine flour into bread—known for ages as the “staff of life”—is a more scientific process than most people realize. They take flour for granted. This can safely be done with Lily White “The Flour the Best Cooks UsV” Look for the ROWENA trade-mark on the sack because it is positively the finest articl© of flour that is produced in Michigan. LILY WHITE has been the reliance of real home-making women for three generations. Countless women have made, and still are achieving, proud reputations for their skill at baking, by using this flour.

THINK IT OVER. f COURT HOUSE NEWS The Girl at Central Not long ago, near Flint, Michigan, In a fire that threatened a huge loss of life and property, a brave telephone operator remained at .her post sending out calls for help until her switchboard was put out of commission and her clothing'cnveloped in flarties. This is only one of hundreds of cases thnt are on record where operators, on their own initiative, saved entire communities from burning, floods or other danger by calling all available help from surrounding districts. The Michigan State Telephone Company-is naturally very proud of still of this rare sense of duty that has always prompted the operators to , stick to their posts in the face of danger, epidemics and storms. It is this kind of devotion to service that has given telephone operators, not only a conspicuous place in the hall of fame, but a prominent place, too, in the hearts of the community they serve. i For your telephone operator, highly trained, as she must be, proficient to a wonderful degree in her work and unfaltering in her traditional devotion to her service, is, after all, just an ordinary girl. She is the kind of height, active, intelligent girl that you, if you knew her, would go out of ybur way to show every courtesy. In most cases she is a home girl and in every case, we know, she is the best protected girl in any kind of work in the city. We want to tell you many things about your telephone operator—of the motherly care that is taken of her-during working hours, of the care that is taken of her health in her wqyk. We want everyone to know why a tele­ phone girl finds her work so inspirational, 'personal and ccrviceful—of her opportunities and her happiness in her work that go so far to make your telephone service better. Now, we are introducing your telephone girl to you,.because we know that in this closer acquaintanceship you will find much that is helpful in your relations with the-most personal service you command—your telephone, t MICHIGAN STATE TELEPHONE COMPANY IjriTijy.icintyyyTTTyTVTy innrinriri'M m ■ s s i rrrmj iiiiiihhhhhi i,ii fr-ill nil ■ ■ uiuimi'■iT ■ ai,■iT ■■■•-••<•7 ■ 'J’HOSE indented grip spots, in the center of each cleat, are safeguards against side-slipping.

That means, unless you’ve al­ Lincs- - Experience - ; Othready registered, that you should REGISTER befo e Aug. 21st, if you are to vote nt the Pri­ mary on Aug. 31st. Why should it be your DUTY to take part in "he Primaries on Aug. 31st and in the elec-”5. tion to follow? First, because YOU are a part of the government, and no government will bei any better than the people who take an active int- refit in it. • Second, you can depend upon it that the less desirable clement of your sex, if you please, congregated in the large cities, willing , be out to vote, because they are all included in the following of the political bosses and ward J Harry heelers of those cities. If the respectable element of women voters "stay at home" it will! only serve to make “politics,” which is'the basis of government in a democracy, WORSE than they were before you were accorded suffrage. Surely you do not want that. For several years'past there has been a distinct inclination on the part of voters not to u take part in the Primaries. What has been the result? In Michigan in the last Presidential *~ Primaries we ‘saw the city of Detroit alone cast enough votes to overcome ALL THE' REST OF THE STATE. That is not RIGHT. It is not as it should be.

If you refrain from taking part in the Primaries, and in the election tfyat will follow, you have no right to complain if gov­ ernment falls down. • Fr).. t'astlotoir employ.-,1 one unquali-1 What we have stated, as applying to women voters, appljes with equal force to the men. fled teacher during the vent ending’, ?,.* ‘, ’ But there are many women who rather abhor the idea of taking an interest in politics, to the Juf 14. 1»1». extent of going to the polls and voting.

With the better element bf women taking part as they should, under the suffrage given them, their good influence will be felt, and politics should become better, cleaner, and a higher standard of government will result.

They will increase the pro­ ductivity of your soil and will pay you well while they are doing it. , Many farmers buy more land when they wish to raise more crops. More good cows on the same land will ob­ tain the desired result and require less labor. . It costs just as much in money, time and labor to ploWi ’ fit and seed for wheat that yields I 5 bushels to the acre as it does for wheat that yields 40 bushels. If you think your erpps are not enough, instead of buying more land to plow, fence, drain and pay taxes on— Buy Pure Bred Cows and Increase Your Farm Pro­ duction and Bank Account Forty cows on 40 acres may not look like a practical proposition but it is not impossible.

"— We’ll Hold “Open House” Wednesday, Aug. Il l All Day and Evening We Cordially Invite YOU and YOUR FRIENDS to Inspect the Star Bakery and Attend the Bakery Demonstrations by Two Experts at This Bakery On the Above Date We take PRIDE in our product, Huy in very large quantities, use nothing but the BEST that money can get, have the best of equipment for producing at the lowest costs, and bake in immense quantities. We buy our “Gold Medal Flour” from Washburn-Crosby; our fats from Armour & Co.; our yeast from Fleischmann’s. • Ten years ago I started in the Baking Business with very limited capital and NO EXPERIENCE. Today there probably isn’t another city in Michi­ gan of the size of Hastings, having such a COMPLETE Bake Shop, that turns out so many Baked Goods of QUALITY, and under such perfect SANITARY and WORKING conditions, as does this Bakery. This is said with no desire to boast, it being accounted for through "hard On Wednesday, August 11th, We Are Going to Hold “Open House,” All Day and Evening work,” loyal co-operation, and with the definite aim and purpose of always giving our patrons the BEST VALUE for their money ever foremost m our We most cordially invite you tp attend, and bring your friends with you. We’ll make it well worth your while, because there will be some "features” mind. ’ Our original plant was in a dark, gloomy basement. Workmen CAN’T do their BEST work in a dark, gloomy place, because you can’t keep it clean and sanitary, and such surroundings are unhealthy and undesirable. So we later moved up into the second story, where light, healthful surroundings, and working conditions were much Better. Here we put in a lot of new, up-todate equipment, but still it was far from perfect as to working and shipping you can’t afford to miss. . Mr. Shudlick, the “Chief Experimental. Baker” of the great WashburnCrosby Co. (manufacturers of Gold Medal Flour), and recognized as one of the best Bakers in the world, will be present to give demonstrations of making bread, rolls and other products. , .._ Mr. Pelky, one of the Fleischmann Co.’s best “Yeast Demonstrators” and Baker Instructors, will be with, us for the day, and he is a man whom it will be well worth your while to meet and listen to. . Then we took a long-term lease of the ground floor and basement of th’e building we are now in; fixed it up RIGHT, especially for our business; added a lot more of new equipment, and here we are today with what.Travelling Salesmen tell us is “one of th’e best arranged, cleanest and most sani­ tary Bake Shops in th’e country,” and with a force of employees that "KNOWS HOW”—and “Delivers th’e Goods.” We hadn't been in th’e business long before we dould see that by BUY­ ING IN QUANTITY and Having the equipment and the DEMAND, so that we could BAKE IN LARGE QUANTITIES, we,could produce a choice loaf of bread at so low a cost tfiat women couldn’t afford to stand over a Kot stove for Hours and do tHeir own baking. The question was to produce QUALITY GOODS—and we Have succeeded. Why We Use Fleischmann’s Yeast Thousands of people in this city and county use our products, and we feel that they have a perfect RIGHT to see HOW our products are made; WHERE they are made; and under what CONDITIONS they are made. They can’t KNOW these things aEout goods that are “shipped in.” For this reason we are going to hold “Open House" on Wednesday, Aug. 11 th’, all day and evening, and cordially invite you to come and see for yourself. We’ll gladly welcome you and will appreciate your interest and attendance. You KNOW the excellent QUALITY of the goods we produce. We want you to know WHY they are excellent , Star Bakery Co Yeast has well been called “The Mother of Bread.” You can’t make Good Bread with poor yeast. You might Hastings, Michigan But good, pure fata add a "richness’*!© the bread that Mother of Bread,” because it has the “raising power.” used. . Good Yeast is practically just as important and Why We Use cannot be imparted in any other way, so we buy the best that we can get Gold Medal Flour price, and thereby cheapen our “mix,” but that’s not our necessary to good bread as is good flour. The two go hand in hand. . .In baking in the large quantities that we do, the SUCCESS of making GOOD BREAD is the attention given by the Baker at just the right time, while tho yeast, or "mother," is doing its work. Fleischmann’s Yeast is known and recognized for its QUALITY. The best evidence of its excellence is the I fact that practically every Baker uses it and will have no other. That’s why we use it.

Today it is award­ ed an important place in highest ranks of manufacturing industry, has one of the BEST National Organizations in the world, backed by some of the best men in the country, and Is recognized by the Government at Washington, all built up to "boost” the co-pperative spirit'of the Nation for GOOD BREAD—the BEST, MOST IMPORT­ ANT and LOWEST PRICED food product. (Minneapolis is the “FLOUR CENTER” of the world, juntas Grand Rapids is the Furniture Center. The Washburn-Crosby Milling Co., manufacturers of "Gold Medal Flour," is tho lending milling company there. It has won its supremacy, both through the immense volume of business it does, and the enormous amount of money it spends every year for Expert Millen and Professional Bakers for the purpose of TESTING and PROVING the product that they make spending thousands upon thou­ sands of dollars in this way—and 'ALL for the benefit of those who use their flour. That’s WHY GOLD MEDAL FLOUR is recognized the country over as the BEST that money can buy for making the best bread. That’s WHY we use it. You’ll be interested in listening to the Professional .Baksts and Expert Ylour men - who will be with us on Aug. 11th. . We might use fat products that are much lower *in policy. We havo built up this business by making thp BEST. products possible, and giving SERVICE to the users of our goods. Thus it is all through our business, wo are not look­ ing to sco how we can make a cheaper "mix,” but we are studying ALL THE TIME as to HOW and IN WHAT WAY we can BETTER OUR PRODUCT. Dollars “sived” are given absolutely no consideration when tho SATIS­ FACTION of our customers is coheeraed. ' Thus our “Open House” on Wednesday, Aug. Hth, • will cost us a good sum of money. _ Wp’ll get qo direct benefit* but it will show fpu,that fra are working ffeur haideet to please and satisfy jmu. ■ And at the Mme time the.pxpert Demonstrator, who will be here, will give you many valuable “pointers” ia yoas work at home. . �THE HASTINGS BANNER ff PART, THREE HR | Queer LltUte lata ~1 How to Tret Sat Diamond.

SAFETY FIRST FOR MICHIGAN BABIES Highest Bee ord for Baby Safety tn the State Goes to Baraga Co. . Man Power and Gasoline Prices T-■-> *- , . rno LONG na the acute shortage of manpower in theUnited States con­ K-' tinues, the demand for gasoline power will continue to increase. Every increase in the demand for gasoline continually increasing, it is not keeping pace with the demand for gasoline. The latest figures available illustrating ' this point are for March, 1920. • Petroleum Production: Petroleum Consumption: Daily Average Daily Average 1,177,129 bbls. 1,417,129 bbh Total for Month Total for Month 36,491,000 bbls. 4X930,999 bbh. If production continues for the rest of the year at the rate established in the first quarter, the total production of petroleum for 1930 will be in excess of 410,000,000 barrels. If consumption continues for the rest of the year at the rate established in the first quarter, the total consumption of petroleum for the year 1920 will be in excess of 495,000,000 barrels. Or, for the year 1920, consumption may be expected to exceed domestic production of petroleum by 85,000,000 barrels. Because of its high-powered organization, trained through years of experience to the interpretation of conditions, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is anticipating increased need for gasoline and is bending every effort to supply the people of the Middle West with the gasoline they need. It means much to the Middle West to be able to use freely that most important of all labor­ saving devices—the automotive machine. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that its greatest service lies in providing at all times, everywhere, and at tlte lowest possible prices, the gasoline needed Cooperate these engines of production.

'I’tw quality of the flour comes out in tho baking. How it bakes, the flavor, the color, the putriment, all depend upon the selection of wheat and the processes of milling. LILY WHITE is made from the choicest’ wheat grown in this countiy—not too' hard, nor too soft, but just right for perfect balance. Only the “goodies” of the kernel are milled: The whtat is cleaned four times, scoured three times, and actually washed once before going onto the rolls for the first break. The result is a flour of superfine texture, of perfect uni­ formity of granulation, of a most palatable flavor, of unsurpassed color. Everything baked from LILY WHITE is light,, tender, delicious. It is an all-around flour. Count­ less thousands of women are enjoying reputations won from baking wonderful bread, rolls, biscuits and pastry from this high-grade .flour.

High prices for livestock in­ crease the producer's income. Low prices decrease it and even result in losses. Similarly, high prices for meat increase con­ sumer's expenses. But Swift & Company as a middleman does not benefit by high or low prices. Our income depends not on a high level of paces or a low level, but rather on the margin between the live­ stock price and the meat and by-products price. ✓ The company's only concern, in whether prices should be high or low, is that they should be high enough to satisfy pro­ ducers and low enough to please consumers; but over the move­ ment of these prices Swift & Company has no control Swift & Company is compelled by competition to pay high enough prices for livestock to secure an adequate supply. We must sell meat at a price low enough to make it move. We endeavor also, between the two prices, to secure a margin large enough to pay all expenses and yield a fair profit Our profit for 1919 averaged less than two cents on each dollar of sales, or 6’/, per cent on money invested.

"The Federal Trade Commission in report to Congress ascribes strong demand as primary cause of recent advances in price of gasoline and. other petroleum products, rather than to any combination in re­ straint of trade." (Boston News Bureau, June 3rd, 1920J Gasoline prices will go dlftvn as soon as gasoline supply exceeds demand. Only two ways are known to increase gasoline supply. First, increase the pro­ duction of crude petroleum; second, to increase the yield of gasoline from the crude petroleum obtainable. . Recognizing the latter as the more prac­ tical method, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has discovered, through exten­ sive research, a way to definitely increase the yield of gasoline from crude oil. In its. laboratories, modem to the last detail of equipment, chemists, engineers and experienced refiners are working continually to this end. It was one of these men who discovered the process which has largely increased the yield of gasoline obtainable from the crude. This, and other discoveries, together with the economies of efficiency throughout all processes of refining, have enabled the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to exert a marked downward pressure on gasoline prices. Tire Standard Oil Company (Indiana) strives at all times to deal in fairness to all the people within its territory, and today is operating its business on as small a margin of profit as is consistent with sound financing, and with safety for its 4799 stockholders, of whom no single investor owns as much as 10 per cent of the total etock.

Argentina, South America, In­ creased her Dairy Herds 162 per cent from 1914 to 1918 Argentina’s principal market for DAIRY PRODUCTS is 7,000 miles distant from her herds. THE MARKET FOR BARRY COUNTY DAIRY PRODUCTS IS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME. There is no earthly reason why Barry" County Dairy’ Herds should not increatte more than 162% during the next four years if the farmers of Barry-County will only realize their opportunity. With* a SOIL and CLIMATIC conditions equal to almost any on earth, every farmer could easily increase the valuation of his farm and multiply his income by increasing the size qf his Dairy Herd and improving the grade of cattle raised. It costs no more, and often less, to feed pure brcQ, high milk-pro­ ducing cows thaii it 'does a lot of second grade cows. ■ Tho near-by market and the continually increasing demand for Dairy Products puts it squarely up to every farmer to do his best in order to get the most out of his farm and the biggest financial returns for his labor. . -. ‘ The farmers of the States can easily pass the percentage of gain shown by Argentina if they will awake to the opportunity, adopt the slogan—"MORE AND BETTER COWS." _ Any advice or assistance we can render will be cheerfully given.

It was a beau­ tiful piece of mechanism, with all its grease and oil and heap of metal shavings. Its work was done with more than human accuracy and skill. This particular latho Was one of a great group of similar machines, arranged in sym­ metrical rows literally covering the floor of the big room in which we were working* It was a unit fn the production department of a big manufacturing plant. I. too, was a unit—one of fifty or a hundred lathe operators in that machine room. I was just a part of the mechanism, not nearly, so important in the eyes of ."Production" as the machine I was operating. It wasn't very hard to get or train a lathe operator who could do the work just as well a» I was doing it, but if that machine broke down "Production” suffered, for lathes cost money and extra parts were hard to get at any price. 1 had a ten-hour shift, and while my pay was good, us far as I could see, I was buried there in that great-department, and very likely to stay at the same old grind at the same old wage until 1 got into a rut. That was just what I didn't want to do. When I told the boys.at the plant I was going to quit my job and take a business training I was in for a little "chuffing.” but I believed I was taking the best step. Michigan Business & Normal College had helped a good many of my friends into good business positions, so I decided .upon that school. Again I was lucky, for, now that I am out into-the business world bhave failed to find graduates of other schools “stepping up" when they had to compete with "The School That Gets Results” graduates. ’ I haven’t been out of school very long—you see, I stepped out of that big machine room only a year ago—but today, as secretary and assistant to the foreign traffic manager qf the largest exclusive truck manufacturing company in the World, Republic Motor Truck Company, Alma, Mich., I cah see the wisdom of my course. My salary is much better than that I drew as a lathe-operator, I am out of the rut, and here I have an almost unlimited opportunity for advancement. I am associating with men who do things in a big way, and should the time ever come when "Production” has supplied the demand and that big lathe operating force is out, I won't be among the "job hunters,” for then, as never before, will business need trained office men to boost sales and service in order that the boys at the lathes can again go back to work.

No other liens or obligations can be put ahead of it? If there is a second mortgage, the holders of it must wait until your claim has been settled before they can colled. Property under mortgage to the Federal Bond & Mortgage ‘ ’ Company is fully covered by insurance to the amount of the loan. We rigidly insist that taxes are not permitted . to be in arrears. And, moreover, we deal only in closed first mortgages which permit no increase in the original loan.

They say the advance in the price of gaso­ line was less than was expected, or at least hoped for. The refiner is asking 23c for the cheapest straight-run, and this makes the cost to the jobber 25c in Chicago. To this must be added 3c for the cost of doing business. As a result the new price is still too low for a profit on gasoline.** The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) distributes through tank wagons and ser­ vice stations, completing tho cycle of service from refiner to consumer. The present low price for gasoline in the Midale West is due in large measure to the efficiency of the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) in refining and distrib­ uting its products. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains an elaborate research departe­ ment, which has enabled it to increase the amount of high grade gasoline ob­ tainable from crude oil. The efficiency of the manufacturing do^f partment, plus the all but perfect system of distribution, enables the company to render an unique but necessary service to everyone in the Middle West who, cither directly or indirectly, relies upon auto­ motive machinery for power.

It ought not to be necessary to call attention to the facfi that NEXT TUESQAY, Aug. 31st, is Primary Election Day, when the Republicans of Michigan will nominate a candidate for Governor of the State, and the Republicans of the 4th Con-» gresaional District, to which Barry county belongs, wiii norn-a inate a candidate for Congress. Both are very important offices, as the Governor will have much to do with shaping the legisla­ tion of the State, and the Congressman will have his influence in shaping national legislation. Barry county has candidates for both positions, and mon you know. Hon. C. L. Glasgow, of Nashville, is a candidate for Governor of Michigan, and those who know Mr. Glasgow know that he is “big enough’* for the place; that he has beep very successful in the conduct of his own business, and has had a wide legislative experience. Then John C. Ketcham, of this city. Master of the State Grange, is a candidate for Congress. Everyone knows Mr. Keteham and his qualifications for the office; that he is thoroughly horn orable and capable. But even if Barry county didn’t have a! candidate, the voters of this county, regardless of party should get out and VOTE at the Primaries, it is their DUTY, under; our form of government - But having candidates for these honors as we have the Republicans of Barry county to the •““** man and woman, should get out and vote NEXT Tl Aug. 31st,, and in this way help to overcome the he that will be recorded in the larger cities. Your vote counted if you stay at home. । �LUNCHEON AND KITCHEN SHOWER SCHOOL SHOE.S OF ESPECIAL MERIT Vester Who Will Be Bride of the Sunday Bible School lOtOO.

SI, Barry county will have tho only chaneo that may como to her in many years to bring home tho Republican nomination for Congress. Tho othor four contoatanla are from the southern end of tho District where tho offleo hu boon held for tho paat twenty-four years. After a thorough canvas* I am convinced that tho honor eon surely be won for Barry county IF EVERY VOTER will go to the poll* next Tuesdays It i« predicted over the District that any candidate who polls 5,000 votes will win tho nomination. In the spring of 1010 when tho women voted for the first time Barry county alone east 5,37fi Republican votes. It la therefore possible for Barry county to win tho nomination if EVERY MAN AND WOMAN goer to the polls next Tuesday. Believing that Barry county is entitled to thia honor in all fair­ ness; and that my acquaintance in tho District, my knowledge of its needs, ray experience in public affairs in both state and nation, particu­ larly fit me to represent tho Fourth Congressional District during the next few years, I will appreciate tho help of every citixen in tho county in securing a full vote next Tuesday.

Instead of selling their surplus feed some of our pa­ trons are going to BUY MORE GOOD'COWS. This is mighty good business. FIRST—because cows are good property anyhow and money invested in them brings good returns. SECOND—They will just about pay for themselves in the next 6 or 8 months. THIRD— They will keep the much needed fertilizer on the farm and greatly improve the richness of the soil. Dairying in Barry county is only in its infancy. There are big incomes to be made here from Dairy Cattle. Other sections of Michigan have been made rich through Dairying and farms have more than doubled in value by the keeping of Pure Bred Dairy Herds.

I wish to cML your attention to the candidacy of John J. Sterling^ the present able Prosecuting Attorney of Berrien county. I have personally known Mr. Sterling since he was thirteen years of age: He has always been a teetotaler and a non smoker and a consistent worker fqr temperance. In all his public speeches at the preaent time he is declaring, himself in favor of the Volstead Act and the strict enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. Mr. Sterling has given the- White Ribbon women of tlfjs county every possible assistance in the arrest and prosecution of tobacco dealers for selling cigarettes to minora. Be has always given me able assistance in the arrest of men for the debauchepr of girls. I believe it is.very necessary at this time that we send a man to Congress on whom we can rely for undoubtedly an -attempt will be made in Con­ gress to prevent strict enforcement of moral measures. I can sinperelv recommend Mr. Sterling from my own personal knowledge of his private life and public record. Very truly yours, DORA B. WHITNEY.

It Is Costing Us, Under Present Operation, $500 More Per Month To Produce Gas Than We Receive For The Gas Service We Render It will not be very difficult for anybody to figure out about how long a company can survive operating on such a basis as this. We believe the people of Hastings want gas and are willing to pay what it is worth. Many cities in the country are without gas or electric service because the companies have failed and been forced into bankruptcy because of the high cost of production. Can you imagine such a condition in Hastings?, We do not mean to throw an unnecessary scare into anybody, but when we are confronted with the above facts there are only TWO WAYS OPEN- . Increase pur Gas Rates or CloseUp ANOTHER ACCIDENT OC­ CURRED NEAR CHARLOTTE Two Oars Game Together at Foot of Long Grade—Two Seriously Injured Another scriou« autotnobilo accident happened Bunday afternoon between three and four o'clock on tho good road between Potterville and Charlotte. A Monroo car wn< coming from tho north nnd at tho foot of u long grade, at tho -Intcnicction with an cn»t and west road, met-a Studebaker ear from De­ troit. The Monroo car hit tho Stude­ baker causing it to slew nnd turn turtle. The car turned over three or four time*, throwing out tho eight occupant*. The driver wa* very scriqusly injured, hut back and ono ano being broken. A baby win al»o fatally hurt nnd the other occupant* received minor injuries, while those in the Monroo car escaped unhurt. This drossing f» n bad ono, a* tho view is obscured by building* in three direction*, nnd cepecial care should bo Exercised to prevent accident*, it is reported that both auto* wore driving about thirty mile* an houq when tho collision occuircd The reason for this condition is beyhnd our control—the con-* tinued increase in the cost of gas coal and oils—and the almost im­ possibility of securing either. • . ■. J We are compelled to again appeal to our consumers and to the City Council to again bear with us while we make a small increase in our gas rates-. „ Some Michigan cities are now paying $3.00 per 1000 cubic feet for gas service. We are not asking for nearly so much. We ask you to weigh this matter carefully and try to place your* self in our position. ■- < ; Thornapple Gas & ElectricCo HASTINGS, MICHIGAN HARK!

Or, it can be left in its own finish of soft mist gray. Here, indeed, is what you, as a Jiome own­ er, have always wanted-—walls and ceil­ ings that STAY PUT, year after year, re­ gardless of climatic conditions. Then too, Sheetrock is fireproof; it pro­ tects the building. An insulator of heat, Sheetlock makes the building cool in sum­ mer, warm in winter, and cuts fuel bills. You will also be glad to know that the cost of Sheetrock—for new construction, altera­ tions and repairs—is actually lees than that of frail, unsatisfactory wall boards.

Consider, for a moment, your home—or your business— . without the telephone. Think of the extra steps you would take otherwise in your daily work to keep in contact with different departments and people. 1 The amount of business you can do is definitely dependent upon this service which maintains your connection with the business world. , And if your business accomplishments are so affected by your telephone service, so, too, is your eyery-d^y home life. Throughout the long day, your home and your friends are as intimately and surely near you as if you were with them in person. ■ The theatre —the garage—every comfort and necessity of life are literally at your elbow—at your beck and call. And again, when danger threatens—when minutes are vital —when the doctor must be secured quickly—when fire or destruction are upon you, the telephone is the first and surest . messenger of relief. The Michigan State Telephone Company realizes fully the ! vital importance Of the telephone to the community—the responsibility that is ours in maintaining this service to the people of Michigan at Its highest efficiency. It.is striving in every possible way to fulfill this trust Your friendly and complete co-operation will do much to assist us in this work. MICHIGAN lost nt sen.

During recent transportation difficulties, while strikes actually created a shortage of gasoline in some parts of the country, never­ theless price advances did not take place.

It is difficult for others to compete with us and give service because we buy nearly everything in CAR LOAD LOTS. r • Do You Know the Coal Situation? Our Machinery Department During the past year the newspapers and magazines have carried many an article relative to the serious coal shortage. Everybody has been urged’ to place their order for coal early if they expected to be supplied. There are still many who are without coal for the coming cold months—and take note of this—there are some who are going to be disappointed in securing coal. We are doing our best to get good coal foi^ those who have placed their , orders with us. We have usually been able to get coal if anybody could get it, because we have been the heaviest buyers of coal in Barry county and always pay cash for all we buy. Do not delay, place your order at once— either with us or some one, or you may not get any coal.

As a result millions upon millions of dollars flowed into his coffers, seemingly without any questions as to WHO he was or WHAT he was. Later inves­ tigation disclosed that he had at least two prison rec­ ords. Ponzi claimed to make his money so rapidly through the differing rates of foreign exchange that he could pay that high rate. All experience invariably proves that the person seeking to “get rich quick” who falls for dubious schemes offering excessive profits, always has some “experi­ ence” coming that ends by his parting with his money and his returns. If you would SAVE your money, place it in some solid institution like this, that will pay you a fair rate interest every six months, and where you can get your money any day you want it or may need it. Pay no attention to fly-by-night “get-rich-quick” concerns, because invariably they will be disastrous to YOU. When you have accumulated a little fund for investment, examine your securities closely, KNOW the men back of the concern in which you ^propose to invest, and find out what kind of men they are. ' We will be glad to advise with you at any time regarding your investments. This is part of the SERVICE you get here that costs you nothing.

The above i» only oHe of the numerous “schemes” floating about to rob innocent people of their hard-earned dollars. It is well to consult us before you let any stranger persuade you to invest in his “get-rich-quick” plan, ^he chances are that he is the Ohly one who gets rich quick. v .

Another Essex Going From New York to San Francisco Broken the Record for That Direction by 22 Hours, 13 Minutes, Completing the Trip in 4 Days, 19 Hours, 17 Minutes. Two $saex touring corn, carrying U. S. Mail, each one making the entire trip botween San Francisco and New York, have set the time records for thejr respective ' directions across the American continent. • And thus conies to Essex another distinction for reliability and endurance. The purpose of this Essex test was to prove its reliability. In the period of-14 hours were crowded more strains, more calls for endurance and mechanical strength than the average owner demands in a life time. Every requirement of motor car performance was met by these two ears. 'And the fact that they so Cbnsistently met their tasks proves Essex uniformity. How gradually have men come to a realization that a light weight car can also offer reliance and performance. - Essex has led the way for that was its purpose frpm the very first. Economy is of growing importance. Men want to save in fuel and in first costs. But they, want no sacrifice in performance and they demand unquestioned reliability. .Essex offered itself to the public without claim, Now more than 40,000 owners know and praise its worth. ,■ Owyer cars that had been driven up wards of 25,000 miles were used in the re­ cent nation-w’lde Essex week to establish reliability, economy, speed and hill climb­ ing records. > To Essex owners the winning of the transcontinental records js not a surprise. But those who do not know Essex performance and-reliability must admit that thesq^ two trips across the continent are as important in marking mechanical advancement as any similar event in the history of the motor car.

GEORGE E. COLEMAN THE INSURANCE MAN Stebbins Bldg. PHONE 2104 HASTINGS, MICH. HOT ; ; ■ I J Gasoline Prices Follow Crude “What," asked • customer recently, “has caused ths sharp advance in. the price of gasoline?" And our answer wa^ substantially as follows: The advances in the selling price of gasoline which have occurred since January 1st, were due primarily to the increased cost of crude oil. The market on all grades of crude took an upward trend during the latter port of 1919, and has been climbing steadily since that time. ’ During 1919 gaooline prises remafood stationary, the refiners absorbing the increased coat of crude as long as it was possible to do so. In January, 1920, gasoline prices generally were advanced to meet the increasing coat of raw material. Another factor was the practical exhaustion of gasoline reserves brought about by the unprece­ dented demands for this fuel. During the first months of this year the consumption of gasoline But the primary reason wuu the constantly in­ creasing price of crude oil. Still other reasons for the mounting prices are the greapy increased cost of labor, of steel, and of other items used in manufacture; also the constantly advancing cost of marketing and distribution. Everything that goes into the refining of petroleum ia very expensive today. But the primary and controlling reason is found in the increasing cost of crude. In keeping with its well-known policy, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been able to maintain low prices for gasoline in the face of advancing prices for crude oil because of its large scale oper­ ation in refining, and its complete and economical system of distribution. And, also, because of its ’ tity of gasofine from a given quantity of crude. The Middle West depends largely-upon gasoline power lor producing food stuffe. Tho Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is straining every fibre of ha highly specialized organization to moot this demand. • Standard Oil Company 910 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago NORTH ASSYRIA.

Thia is merely tho length of the scholarship. If you can- complete any course in less than six months—as many of opr students do—you will have every opportunity, every encouragement and every. help to do so. The Combined Business and Shorthand Course,, (including tho very best out of tho Business and Bookkeeping and the Short­ hand and Typewriting Courses), is tho one taken by nt least 75% of our students. Taken separately,, these courses should require from fifteen to twenty months. By taking the Combined Course, you should complete your Business and Bookkeeping Training and your Shorthand and Typewriting Training in from ten to four­ teen months^ You savo money and you also become a wage earner from' four to six months sooner. By taking this Special Combined Business and Bookkeeping and Shorthand and Type­ writing Course, you will actually earn from $300.00 to $600.00 more than if you took both courses separately. And by taking this Combined Course, you are thoroughly trained for almost any kind of an office position. You are trained for a position as bookkeeper, for a place, as Cashier, for Cost Accounting, for Stenographer, Machine -Bookkeeping, or for a position as Personal Assistant You don't havo to wait for a posi­ tion which says "Bookeeper wanted" or "Stenographer wanted.” You are ready, completely trained, and the position will seek your services. We especially recommend for those young men and young women wha havo completed a high school training our Special Secretarial Course. This course includes all of thJ' work of our regular Business and Bookkeeping Department and all of the work of our Shorthand and Typewriting Department, with Spe­ cial Secretarial duties, Office Management, and Business Admin­ istration. Tho young man or young woman-who completes this Special Secretarial Course will be possessed of an exceptionally thorough equipment for the duties of tho business oilice. The starting salary will be from $500.00 to $1,000.00 a year more and, the opportunities for advancement unlimited. Tho demand upon us for our Special Secretarial Course Graduates is now run­ ning from five to ten times tho supply.

Axaubdght, Pres., Bax 2M. Battle Cheek. Michigan. There aro just two ways to get to the top. One is to learn th8 fundamentals of business, how to serve business BEFORE YOU ENTER-BUSINESS. This is the short-cut which saves you a long apprenticeship at small pay. The other is to start in at the very bottom as an office boy or girl, without any knowledge of or any training in business and learn it as an apprentice—sand WAIT for an opportunity to come IF IT EVER DOES. As an un­ derpaid, unskilled helper, you will have little or no opportunity to attract the attention of the employers. And one of the GREAT­ EST secrets of success is to get a position close to the higher-ups of business—a position, where you and your work will be noticed and appreciated; where your fitness for promotion, greatoc re­ sponsibility and higher salary will be discovered. So, you are going to fay For a Business Training whether you take it or not Either you will take It and pay for it in the regular way—and capitalize on it as long as you live—or you will NOT take it but piy for It in OPPORTUNITIES LOST. You will pay for It in the SMALLER SALARY you will bo obliged to accept. You will pay for It in the HARDER WORK you will havo to do. You will pay for it In the LONG AEBRENTICESH1ES you will have to serve at SMALL-PAY. Increased Rates Made Necessary These advances in price are made necessary because we re­ fuse to lower our standard of instruction, our equipment and our service to employe and employer. For more than THIRTY­ EIGHT years the MICHIGAN BUSINESS & NORMAL COLLEGE has enjoyed a reputation in this and surrounding states as one of the finest schools in all America. There may be older schools. Thero may be larger schools, but there are none finer. There are none in which the standard of instruction is higher—and few as high.. There are none better equipped. There aro none which have a greater percentage of happy, prosperous graduates. And after all, these are tho standards by'which successful commercial schools aro judged. The percentages of increased cost of operation today over the past few years are conservatively estimated as follows1 The Cost of Typewriters and other Equipment has increased to us 90 per cent. ' Teachers’ Salaries, 100 per cent. * Rent of Building, 50 per cent. Lights, 50 per cent Other general overhead, including insurance, taxes, etc., 100 per cent. Every fain-minded person will at once see the justice of our increased rates. However—over against our Increased rates stands this fact— Salaries of Our Graduates Have Increased from 100 to 150 per Cent. If you should bo so fortunate as not to bo able to take ad­ vantage of our present rates and effect the big saving we are \ holding out to you, you aro still assured of a full return for your money. "At $50.00 a month," says a prominent employer, "a business training is the cheapest, safest, and richest investment on earth for,young Ynen and young women at modest means who have to make their own way. I know of no other investment they can make which, during the very first year, will yield two, three and even fourfold and continue to pay them rich dividends in in­ creased salaries and opportunities as long as they live.” Michigan Business and Normal College “The School That Gets Results” (Established 1882) C: J.

We have just contracted space in the Ohio Farmer, Indiana Farmers' Guide, Orange Judd Farmer, Prairie Farmer and Hoard’s Dairyman. The combined circulation of these papers is read by about 10,000,000 people, and where farm lands are much higher in price than here. Now if you wish tu sell your farm we will be very much pleased to arrange to sell it for you. It is not necessary for us to tell you what real estate agency has been successful in sell­ ing farms in Barry county. If you desire tp sell \your farm or city home it’s surely to your interest to employ the people who have demonstrated that they know how to successfully handle your property. Below we give the descriptions of several farms we have listed and if you are in the mar­ ket for a farm, and if you do not find anything below thkt suits you let us know and we will find it for you. nll.’t ». ■s.ootf catbulldin**; • mill barn nnd outbuild; n*»; Prlc* in** ia *■><*! rith windmill Invnl** price inc* « l«Ut •40.000 ro. flume. * rma Bt; 4 tail** frnnt & Why Worry? ■ z Capitol Savings & Loan Association *.000; atvilMl mill, bam 40x70. vsltia lUmtMtaf*; h»y and la railroad lUtloa; H ■boo to aiooo ■ »• r>< d ot tini; alao the C.

Next Bishop Hcndcr*on was intro­ duced and very clearly presented tho proposition. He said he eared nothing for the plan a* a piece of ee: k--ia-tical machinery, nor did -he Caro for it ns a. denominational affair. - Ho far as his work as presiding bishop was concern­ ed, it would be far easier for him to leave the situation just as it i.*. But hi* intcrcM in the plan came from a conviction that here was un exceptional opportunity for service of a -H that would benefit both the city arid rural rhnrebcs. Hp wanted no one to favor it if ho or rif.- did not believe the plan would help both the city and .'-irrounding territory. Several from both tire city and circuit churches .-xpressi’d briefly their convictions on the matter, after which a rising^ vote was called for. About 75 representative, nf the city nnd circuit, church: s'wrr.- present: There was no opposition. .Three failed to expreaa their sentiment* by voting. AIL the others were favorable .to the plan. Bishop Henderson expl 'it-.ed that it might be impossible nt the next COBfercnco to procure just the type of nreh needed to carry out tho plan.

HASTINGS, MICHIGAN �More ne DEMAND FOR OIL GROWING FASTER THAN PRODUCED UM Of CMliM (BOMMl HI8 epitomizes the situation accur­ It also indicates how great Tiaately. the task of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). , But fuel for automotive power muit be fupplied. Especially is this true in the terri­ tory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), because in this a^ea — the bread-basket of the nation—so large a' percentage of the'gasoline is consumed ia producing food. Take away—even cripple — the automo­ tive power on the Middle West farms and food prices will soar because of de­ creased production. The power-driven tractoa is the only means by which the farmer can cope sueccafully with the shortage of man-power. By extensive research and intensive appli­ cation the Standard Oil Company (Indi­ ana) has increased the yield of gasoline from crude- to the greatest degree yet known. But it is not satisfied. The Company is striving to further in­ crease the yield- so that the use of the tractor, truck, the automobile, and the stationary gas engine may be used'freely and without restriction. It is apparent that the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) by increasing the yield hu exerted, also, a downward influence on the price of gasoline. Standard Oil Company 910 So.

Compare These Three Methods The figures given below are made up from the prices paid in this locality during the past year and are approximately correct. Based on 60,000 pounds of 3.5 milk which shoukbbe produced by 10 good cows. An estimated yearly post of $ I 50 per cow is used. The extra labor, interest, depreciation and skimming loss of thitf farm separator will more than equal the cost of hauling the whole milk. Selling Cream and Feeding Skim Milk Total Receipts $1605.00, Cost $1500.00, Profit $105.00 Based on an average price of 65 cents per pound for butterfat and an allowance of 50 cents per hundred for skimmed milk. Selling Cream and Skim Milk Separately Total Receipts $1725.00, Cost $1500.00, Profit $225.00 Based on an average price of 65 fents per pound for butterfat and 75 cents per hun­ dred fo rskimmed milk.

You know that kind of talk, to a man who has trial idl his life to be, xqunrb, divsn't make ld;q fc<tl like doing what folk* who indulge in such talk may want him to do. I considered that, a* the drawing had been done in the part,, my daughter wa* entitled to that car, and that it wa* no more dishonest or unfair for her to wjn it than it wa» for other contriliutor* to bo at tho drawing with their roll* of coupons, hoping they might win*it. And the talk didn’t wt well, nor make inc fed that mv daugh­ ter thould give it up when nothing was done tu favor her iu the drawing, and when other* were prcwntv nl*o with tiekBta.hgnlhg To*win, who'hud gotten them in the same way who did. ' I will uiy right here that, had I been there with tho roll of tickets uiynelf, inatead of Gertrude—for I was nt bagic when the drawing took place—and hart I wpn'tbB ear, I would havo handed back the ticket, sad told Mr. Hitch­ cock to draw again. But my daugh­ ter felt that the ticket* were her*, for I had given them to her. And when charge* were made agaiimt me *he de­ cided that she would not give up the enr under »nfh cireumrtuicef, nnd I am pleased nnd proud of her loyalty to her father; and I wouffl not at that to tho car wax recognied, n» it was, we both dotennlned that »hc would take «uch n courcc aw wo tlwiught was right a* lo tho fu|ure. -Who cold tho car, bocau’c nho-knew *he wouldn't cart« to poMcn* it. The prococdw were depotited in her name in tho bank. Any one of n dozcq other*; who took their own ticket* as contributor*, or who hud had ticket* given them for which they paid nothing, had he or who hold the lucky number, might be in the xatnc petition I am, anil then he’i! bo tha ono criticixed instead of myoolf, for having given uwny to rel­ atives or taken to the fair himiclf ticket* which hud not been given away In merchandise trading or in payment of account*. Aw tho person eritieiwed, I have natuially done a good deal of thinking; and wc’vo talked the mutter over at oar hou*e. Here it the cnnclunion: Ho far as being represented at the drawing by ticket* that were not giv­ en in exchange for trade, 1 am no dif­ ferent from other* cither thi* year or In ureviouw year*. Tho only difference I* that a member of my family'held tho lucky number, that won tho car, white the others didn’t. I had no idea of wronging anyone. But 1 now sec, whnt I didn't think of nt tho time, namely, that pooplo who received coupons for trade or payment* made on accouai* would think that they had not .had n fair ahnneo to win the automobile if the merchant* retained or gave uwuy thnir unused coupon* fur tho purpose of winning the prise* at the drawing, I now see what I did not think of nt' tho time that if the merchant* used or gave nwny their dnused eoujxm*. il would discredit the fair and it* ofilcinh, and luuke folk* think that the drawing wa* not planned for the bene­ fit of .tho patron* of the merchants and give marehnht* a gmid show to yrin bosk a part at loaxt of whnt they cloiraed to bo giving to help' the fair. Thus if a member of the family of any contri­ butor, or the contributor himself, shoubl .win and keep the prtec* won, it would weokem public eopfideqeo, iu the. inti* rity of the fair aqd’H* official* as well ns thc.niir«lunt* of IVMliug* and make the 1*88110 think |hal the drawing* wore Therefore with my hearty approval, ly daughter Lu decided that tho will automobile to iho Barry County Agri­ cultural Society, wHh tho un drretard­ ing that tho ytitron* of tho fair shall at some ftrture exhibition have a chalice tu draw it, with every contributor and every member of a contributor's raw-, ily barred from any chance to win any' frixes al any drawings at future Mrs. o help the Barry County Fair-and to save ml»uniler»tandings tn the firthro. and partteninriy to save any anti eho frqrn going through tho unplcarant ex­ perience* which members of mv famt ily nn-.l myself have pained through, I think tlie rule* governing tho draw­ ings, *ho;t!d bo changed.

She was not obliged to do thi*, not canid :iny posribio action havo compelled her to do so.

The only difference is .that Miss Rum held the tflrky number while the others did not. It’was just luek that saved the others from the same situation. Harty and unkind w*ord* at tho time prevented a satisfactory adjustment of the .matter on Friday. The gvncrnrn netion of returning to tho society theproceed.* of tho autqmobilo makes a hap­ py ending, und saves tho morehanta of Hartings nnd tho society and its offic­ ers from crlHcijim, which wo greatly appreciate.

A Few Reasons MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COL- I LEGE, graduates are in demand. Tho calls for our' student* always far exceed-, tha supply. Many business Anna rely upon tu entirely for all additional workers. At the MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NOR­ MAL COLLEGE you can qualify in a single year, or less, for rapid advancement to a good situation and a high salary. Many former grad­ uate* are now earning more than 810,000.00 a year, a* a direct result of our training. of results with a minimum of effort, and learn to use your time more profitably. . John L. Kellogg, Vice-President of the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Company, and whose salary is measured by ^he thousands of dollars annually, says he owes his position ’• and salary directly and wholly to the train­ ing and efficiency that he acquired as a stu­ ' dent of this school. f Pauline Kellogg, sister to John L. Kellogg, at the suggestion of her brother completed the full Secretarial Course and the Special Training for Civil Service. She passed the ex­ amination with an exceptionally high stand­ ing and secured her appointment almost im­ mediately at a salary of $1,320.00 per annum to start, with a guaranteed increase to $1,­ 440.00 per annum at the end of three months’ sendees. Earl R. Finlay, Branch Manager -for the Buick Motor Company at Spokane,, Washing­ ton", says that his personal efficiency and abil­ ity as a manager is the direct result of his course of trainini^at the M. B. & N. C. He also says that Mr. Argubright’s lectures on Salesmanship and Personal Efficiency have enabled him to handle his own salesmen with a far greater degree of success than he could otherwise nave done. Walter Haughey was earning something like $40.00 a month prior to his attendance at “The School That Gets Results.” Today he is Sales Manager for the MacFarland Auto Company at Denver, Colorado. Mr. Haughey says that any young man or^oung woman who wishes to succeed “big" in the world of business should acquire the training offered at the Michigan tysiness & Normal College at the earliest possible moment* He emphasizes the personal supervision and individual direction that each student will receive while a student of this school. His phenomenal advancement in the world of business is a direct result of the personal supervision and guidance that he received while a student here and after graduation.

Two Carrier Pigeons Will Leave Our Store Sept. 25th Bearing a Message from the Mayor of Hastings to the Governor of Missouri at St. Louis, ing this race Rexall Dealer:- will be posted relative to Hi the ae .\ ' t methods and advantages of RexallGcodsand Polk*' . i . kJ' De ers unll bring home new ideas for helpfulness to ti e- , i . t ; The Plan The great United Drug Co. have instituted probably one of the most unique interest-creating events ever staged by any company. They have built one of the biggest'racing pigeon lofts in the world— 180 feet long and 2 stories high. They have arranged«for 5,000 racr ing Homing Pigeons to be sent to their stores within a radius of 500 miles from St. Louis, Mo. These pigeons will start from the several stores Sept. 25, and race with a speed unknown to other birds straight to their home in the great Rexall Loft at St. Louis. - The Purpose Our Two Racing Pigeons • x It will readily be seen that the purpose of this great race is to create interest among Rexall Dealers everywhere and advertise the Rexall Stores. ■ ' This is only one of the many progressive methods of this great company.. At the convention held in St. Louis immediately follow- will be sent from ouj store Sept. 25 and a telegram wil’ b < ; L -<n St. Louis to us immediately upon their arrival there.- and thu inform mation will be given out by us to any who wish to know if our pi / ■ ons have won and what time they make in their flight. It is interesting to know that during the late war many carrier pigeons continued their flight and reached their destination with a leg and tail feathers shot away. Come Saturday, September 25th, and see these woriderful birds start and then await the message of their arrival in the loft at St. Louis.

TA GT FCUR7TT;'T Caloric Pipeless Furnace Saves from 35 to 50% in Fuel BURNS COAL OR WOOD Can Be Installed in Old Buildings Without Remodeling CONSERVATION OF FOOD ’aloric nipde&s Furnace does not heat, the cellar. Its triple walls in- ' the Heat and send it up to the floors above. Although a Caloric will prevent'freezing in the cellar, it never raises the temperature high enough to spoil perishable products. Tins is a great advantage that few other furnaces afford.. This feature is important, especially in the farmer’s home, where fruits and vegetables must either be stored in the cellar or kept outside in inaccessible places. I , • t . ’ ’ ECONOMY OF INSTALLATION Besides the jmany features that make the Caloric the most economical furnace to operate, there is also the important advantage of its low first cost. The Caloric can be installed in old buildings without the necessity of expen­ sive remodeling. There are no pipes to run through walls and floors and only one register is required. The Caloric can also be placed in new buildings with less trouble and expense than any other type of furnace manufactured. PIPELESS--CLEAN CELLAR . ’’ The cleanliness of thdCalqric Pipe less Furnace appeals to every house­ keeper. No smoke or ashes can reach the rooms that are to be heated. The use of the Caloric enables you to keep all fuel in the cellar close to the fur­ nace feed door. This lightens work and keeps the dirt and ashes out of the home. Walls and curtains remain fresh for long periods of time in Caloric heated homes. Windows are not covered with smoke and dust; the wood work remains clean, and the tidiest housekeeper that ever lived cannot find* fault . witjk the Caloric. . , .. . [ e We also carry a stock of jewel Furnaces. " I' Be sure you seeour Furnaces before you decide what furnace you will buy. l - Goodyear Bros. Hardware Company M .

To. sinko Michigan's roads, especially tho main trunk lilies, ns useful for transportation purposes in winter as in summer Is tho aim of the Michigan Good Roads' association, according to P. T.

In its campaign to make this pos­ sible tho organization expects to ex; potienco one of its busiest and most productive years during the next IS months, both in road building and in organization. According to Mr. Colgrove ono of the greatest needs of Michigan road builders nt present is legislation. To this end tho associa­ tion president will name a legislative committee to co-operate with the statJ highway department in bringing about needed changes in the statutes. During tho coming winter tho work of road construetion wilj bo carried on whatever possible In those counties where contracts havo been lol. “Road building has been retarded this year to .a considerable extent by inability of the counties to sell state bonds at the present rata of Interest,” Mr. Colgrovo spid. “In many lecaHtlM where the cit‘ ixena arfli eiceoilingly anxious - thnt tho work should progress they have taken these bonds locnlly, and thus enabled tha stale highway commis­ sioner to. pnx-ejd with tho work.” • M.

On the Presidential Election ft" WILL TELE YOU WEEKS IN ADVANCE THE ACTUAL’RESULTS OE . THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. z " There are 8.000 Rexall Stores in the United States—a store in every city in every, state in the Union. Each store will be equipped with presidential ballots and ballot boxes. This will be a secret ballot, no one will know for what candidate the voter.casts his ballot. In this way millions of ballots will be cast. Counted daily and the result, state and national, posted in each store each day. Fair play and accuracy are the keynotes of the Rexall Stores’ Straw Vote. ’ i Voters are urged to cast but one ballot, in this way only can a fair esti­ mate of the utlimate result be reached. The Rexall ^tores’ Straw Vote is infallible. Why? Because it already has been subjected to the acid test. In 1916 , the Rexall Stores’ straw vote was the only forecast presented which re­ turned Woodrow Wilson the victor with only 9 days of actual balloting in which a million votes were cast, the final figures proved President Wilson would win by a slender majority. • . .. .J • In such states as California and New Hampshire eafchi generally conejeded to Hughes, the Rexall figures when compared witn the actual ballots proportion atxly differed less than one-half of one per cent. The result of balloting in each store will be telegraphed daily to the United Drug Co. at Boston, MuoS., there the figures.compiled and each night sent back broad­ cast, so that I he vote by states and nation can be displayed in each Rexall store, window. • , • t COME IN AND VOTE. .- ■‘ : , CARVETH & STEBBINS The Rexall Druggists STURDILY built—designed for dependability, possess­ ing grace and beauty in every line— the new Buick Nineteen Twenty One series signally upholds the traditions that have made the name Buick a not­ able word in the automotive industry. 0 power and Two decades have more than justi­ fied the unwavering fidelity to the accepted engineering ideals to which Buick stands committed.

The last issue of the Michigan Business Farmer con­ tained this appeal: c' v I am one of several thousand who was recently laid off at the Overland plant.until Nov. I, but it is tjie end of city life for my family if we can locate on a-farm. I tried to make myself believe we were prospering but actually we were becoming poorer day after day. "Now we want to return to the farm. Tell us how to get there.” ' • fl The Washington Post has this to say: ” The man who left the plow in response to the lure of high wages and the bright lights of the movie theatre of the city has found that the new life is not all beer and skittles. After pa0ng high rent for a while and turning the, remainder of his earnings over to the groceryman and coal dealer, the yearning for farm life returns, where but­ ter, milk, and eggs are plentiful, with apples and potatoes always in the cellar and flour in the bin.” The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times says this: "The reason for- the wholesale migration from the farm to the cities that has taken place during the last few years lies in |he fact that living in the cities coupled with the greater possible earnings offered a greater lure than the farm; but it must follow that farm produce.will com­ mand prices that will make it more remunerative than working fdr wages in an urban environment.. Those who see in the-movies and the crowded streets not the worth­ while things of life are turning to the country again. The cities can not survive without the country and those who labor in the country are entitled to no less re­ muneration for their labor than city workers.” The tide is surely turning, the pendulum is commenc­ ing to swing back. The cities are beginning to realize that the farmer must be fairly paid or they will go hungry. * There never was a better time to go into the manufac­ ture and sale of human food. • • A herd of good dairy cows not only pay you well them­ selves, but make the rest of your crops profitable.

Gaso­ line is taking the place of vanishing man-power on the farms; and not only does it redact* the man-hours required to produce a given amount of food, but it also reduces the actual coot of production, and this despite the advancing price ot gasoline. (H. W. Quaintancc "Influence of Farm Machinery on Production-' Power Wagon Reference Book, 1920, page 561.) z Authorities agree that gasoline is a most import­ ant factor in the production and distribution of food products. When gasoline ia employed universally to in­ crease the efficiency of man-power on the farm, we myy look for vastly inefcased production and a consequent decrease in the cost of pro­ ducing food. In the eleven Middle West states .served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) more than 100,000 tractors arc in use, and the number is increasing rapidly. In the states served by the Standard-Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) the number of farmer-owned motor trucks is as follows: 1,732 Kansas . Iowa . 2,773 Illinois . 2.261 1,548 Indiana . Nonh Dakota 1,708 South Dakota 1,636 Michigan. 1,255 ■Minnesota 2,065 Missouri . 1,464 Wisconsin Oklahoma • ______ Total . . . 17667 (V. S.

There is room on the coal apd gas sections, at the top, for NINE large utensils. VVhile’bread is being baked in the coal oven, pastry may be baked in the gas oven, meat may be broiled in the broiling oven, and cereals and vegetables may be cooKed on the top. , Where did you ever hear of greater capacity? The Gold Medal Glenwood is efficient every day in the year. In the Winter, the coal section not only loolts after the cooking, but it helps warm the kitchen.

In order to make room for new cars that are arriving weekly, we are forced to close out our stock of USED FORD CARS, consisting of Touring, Roadsters, Delivery Cara and .Trucks, at a tremendous sacri­ fice. These cars are in good condition and ready for immediate use to the purchasers. It Will Be a Good Investment for You to’BuyJa Car][Now Every used car we have at our garage has been marked at a price that will mean a quick sale and a big saving to the purchaser. Remember we are going to sell these cars regardless of cost and it will pay you to lay your work aside for a day and call at our garage and make a selection of a car. Make a Bart Payment and Drive Home Any Used Car We Have For Sale If you are short of money and haven’t enough ready cash on hand to buy a car with, don’t let that keep you away, come and see us and we will arrange matters so that you can make a part payment arid PAUTHXSB A Real Genuine Reduction Sale A general reduction all over the store, in every department. We have cut our prices (fpm 10 to 25 per cent and in many instances, a great deal more. The cost of this price reduction is coming right out of pur profit and our pocket. |t is the result of the general tendency to reduce prices on ail commodities in all lines of trades—WHY? There has been a disinclination on the part of tlje public to buy for some time. As a result there is a tendency on the part of broad-mided manufacturers and merchants to cut into their profits ami prices nnd stand the loss themselves in order to bring about the normal conditions before the war. We believe we are as broad-minded and liberal as any and want to have our share in the work of reconstruction. This radical reduction is the result. Please note this fact and fix it firmly in your mind— This reduction is not due to any cut in operating our store, or in the prices of Fall and; Winter Merchandise. Don’t let reports of lower cloth prices mislead .you. the deerejtse^in the prices of raw materials does not affect merchandise until next spring.

Can Be Installed in Old Buildings Without Remodeling CONSERVATION OF FOOD T! » Caloric Pipeiess Furnace does not heat the cellar. Its triple walls insi h't' the heat and send it up to the floors above. Although a Caloric will Drevent freezing in the cellar, it never raises the temperature high enough to spoil perishable products. This is a great advantage that few other fur­ naces a Iford. This feature is important, especially in the farmer’s'home, v he»e fruits and vegetables must either be stored in the cellar or kept out­ side in inaccessible places. J ECONOMY OF INSTALLATION. • Besides the many features that make the Caloric the most economical furT.ace to operate, there is also the important advantage of its low first cost. The Caloric can be installed in old buildings without the necessity of expensive remodeling. There are no pipes to run through walls and floors and only one •register is required. The Caloric can also be placed in new buildings with less trouble and expense than any other type of furnace manufactured. . PIPELESS—CLEAN CELLAR. The cleanliness of the Caloric Pipeless Furnace appeals to every house­ keeper. No smoke or ashes can reach the rooms that are to be heated. The use of the Caloric enables you to keep all fuel in the cellar close to the fur- . nace feed door. This lightens work and keeps the dirt and ashes out of the home. Walls and curtains remain fresh for long periods of time in Caloric heated homes. Windows are not covered with smoke and dust; the woodwork remains clean, and the tidiest housekeeper that ever lived cannot find fault with the Caloric. We also carry a stock of Jewel Furnaces. Be sure you see our Furnaces before you decide what furnace you will buy. -riiLI ■ Goodyear Bros.

In Europe a bushel, of wheat required four and one-half hours of labor.** —Dearborn Independent. Europe with its pre-war wealth of labor developed intensive hand cultivation to an extent undreamed of because unnecessary in America. In the United States labor shortage developed a type of farming which gave petroleum products a chance .to lend a hand. Increased labor-shortage in the United States has meant increased application ®f gasoline-power to the farms of the Middle West. Mechanical power has multiplied the wheat yield 21 times per man. The fact that power machinery, and gasoline to run it, is going on the farms, is responsible in no email degree for the large crops produced for 1920. The great mission of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ia to produce enough gasoline to supply the fanner with all he can use at the time and place he needs i*f and at a low price. “Domestic consumption of gasoline, far out-strip­ ping our production of crude petroleum, has forced gasoline up in price. During the first four months of 1920, gasoline consumption increased 796,030 gallons a day more than production during the same period." (Oil News, July 5, 1920.) While more crude oil io being produced "tn 1920 titan even the most enthusiastic optimist dared- predict five years ago, it is 'not suEftdcnt to jncet the ever in­ creasing demand. Every facility developed by the vast organization of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) through years of service, is being directed to the end of supplying the farnh of the Middle West with necessary petroleum products. Transportation diffi­ culties have been anticipated by this company,'so that there has been no serious shortage of petro­ leum products to the fanner in Qny of tho states ..served by this company — The dark green tank wagon delivering even ta lhe tractor in the field in emergencies.

Coal supplies the fuel for one, and gas for the other. So far as the use of these two fuels is concerned, it is exactly as though you had a coal range and a gas range. The difference is that they occupy the same floor space instead of being two separate ranges in two different parts of the kitchen. You may use the coal and the gas at the same time, or either one With­ out the other. You have gas in warm weather and coal in cold weather.

Like most of the packer activities which contribute to your welfare, you are so used to having this going on uninterruptedly, day in, day out, throughout the year, that you are likely to take it as a matter of cour§d. But it is not a matter of course. Every car you see going by means long hours of minute, scientific, painstaking care in prep- • aration for what it is doing. Every time a car comes in it is washed out thoroughly with scalding water. If any taint, any foreign matter, were present, this would get rid of it. Even the'meat hooks are taken down from the racks and scalded with water and live steam. When the car is thoroughly cleansed we put in 5,000 pounds of ice. But that is only preliminary. It only cools the car to the proper temperature. By the time the car is moved over to receive its load, this first ice is melted. More is then put in to keep the-car cool. The October 0. T.

An advertising campaign in Milwaukee increased milk consumption fifteen per cent a short time ago. The manufacture cf butter substitutes has increased enormously during the past few year's. Facts and figures show that milk producers are large consumers of oleomargarine. A prominent dairyman not far from here recently told his neighbor that he couldn’t afford to pay seventy cents for a pound of butter when he could get something about as good for one-half this amount. Of the twenty-three million dairy cows in this country, over seven million are kept at a loss. If these worse than worthless cows were eliminated, how about the relation of supply and demand? The. present milk crisis will cause plenty of dairymen to quit, and thousands of good cows as well as,the poor one? will go to the butcher during the next few months. • The sure result of this will be as State Market Director Daniels recently told a large number of city Women, "It is not going tq be a question as to how much you shall pay for milk, it is going to be an unanswered cry for milk at any price." • While conditions look bad for milk producers in many \places, this is a real opportunity for our patrons.. The marketing facilities we possess assure you a good outlet‘for jS^ur product, even under present extreme con­ ditions, aha certaihly the time to stay in a business is when everyone else is getting out. ; ‘ In fact, there never was a time when our patrons could better afford to buy good cows than right now. Look at Hie sensiblp side of .this matter and keep your good cows and buy more good cows. | Hastings Condensed Milk Co.

The adoption of thia amendment would engender bitter­ ness and suspicion and distrust Where now, mutual trust and good feeling to a large extent prevail. ■ I urge all good citixens to oppose this radical change. . The Cleveland Tertians having de­ flated the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers for tho world’s.base ball ohampiqaiaip, the American people eaa now - settle ■town to take a live intereat in tke pol­ itical contest now being waged; 1 l am impressed tiiat the present proposi­ tion is not one that will conduce to better moral, friendly and charitable relations between citizens of the state that is so much to be desired. As an offkdai in the War, I was proud of the patriotism and efficiency shown by those with whom I associated of both the Lutheran and CathcMc faith. As chairman of the Near Bait Relief of the State, I have also aseociatcd with these people and admire their spirit of loyalty and sympathy. Nothing in recent years has demon­ strated the utter folly of a campaign if personal and political abuse m has ’Tor. Cox’s swinfc arortnd the circle iu his efforts to win tha'- support' of tho voters. The American people have a x>nrtantly increasing dislike for that •wrt'of thing, and will take drilght-ln tewing just how they fed on altctlon The proposed amendment is in conflict with the Federal Constitution and should not be placed upon'the ballot. The pro­ posed amendment tends most strongly, to foment Hl feeling and acrimonious dis­ cussion among th«j people. I hold that the right of the parent to ex­ ercise a reasonable control over the edu­ ,. cation of his off-spring during the forma­ tive period of his character, is one of the most sacred rights preserved for the indi­ vidual under the Federal Constitution. Tho heed, of a protective tariff ‘ to preserve fair Waged «o labor And;.a (air deal to producer aad eonxumer will become more and more evident as the disturbed condition of Europe shall be ended and their people get to work. TMu when our’workmen find that in wages they must compete In production with Europe and Asia, they will the rtoft keenly, appreciate the vslue .of, a tariff avowedly protective In character.

President Frank S. Kedzie, of the Mich^ igan Agricultural College says; . I am not favorable to the antl-p'arochical amendment tar three main reasons; Pint: Interferes with religious liberty. Second: Introduces one more element tending to unrest. Third: Would lessen education facilities for the younger generation. President McKenny. of the Michigan State Normal School says: . Thia amendment if carried would shut out thousands of children because of no public school buildings to accomodate than. Another reason is that these is-*to more loyal group of men tn America than those who come from parochlcal or private schools. One-fourth of the men in the late world war who fought for America came . from parochial and private schools. The amendment b un-American and we cannot afford to have it carried.

Months wh$n butter is best and .cheapest. > ; , Do you realize that when there is a demand for 100 pounds of butter and I 10 pound^are offered, that the value of the whole I 10 pounds is greatly affected by the price paid for the 10 pounds of surplus? v Don’t you know that every pound ot poor, inferior cream that ia made into butter is a boost for olepmargaine? , Were you aware of the fact that more oleomargaine is consumed per capita by persons living in the country than by city dwellers? ,. . You ought to know that in a recent survey of a certain j section of Iowa, one of our great dairying states, that 68 ; per cent of the children in the towns and cities and only I 3 -per cent of the country children had milk to drink regu­ larly. • t Milk and milk foods are absolutely essential for the proper growth, health and development of young animals. Our most valuable yoimg animals are our boys and girls, but our calves and pigs are usually fed with more judgment. ' The world i» rapidly finding all thia out and ia going io demand more and better dairy produeix, and expects to pay the price. ■ ■ ■ Are you going to be ready to help aupply thia demand? Then boost and use your own product, and if you can’t sets' that the - health of your family and the ethics of your business demand thia, just remember that if you’use what you should, what you sell will bring, enough more so that what you use will cost you nothing. - Hastings Condensed Milk Co.

Pre-War Prices Are in Effect at the Present Time The pre-war prices which the Ford Motor Co. put into effect on Septem­ ber 22nd, should assure the public beyond a doubt that there was not a pos­ sibility of another drop. The 1921 Model Ford cars and trucks with the new equipment, consisting of the Ford Liberty starter, spiraf timing gears, new style radius rods, storage battery, electric lights and the large steering wheel makes the Ford products the most practical and the lowest priced cars and trucks on the market. Ford Cars Are Selling Faster Than Ever Before For the past several weeks we have sold more Ford cars and trucks thdn ever before and at the present time we have a number of orders on file for future delivery. Anyone who is interested in having a Ford car for next spring’s use will do well to place their order now, thus assuring them a de­ livery at the time when they are most anxious to start driving the car.

The same cause would increase the School Taxes of Grand Rapids by Fifty Per Cent. The Direct Taxes of every district would be increased, with no increase in Primary School Fund money. The total amount) of new money to be raised by taxes for Educa­ tional Purposes in Michigan if the Private and Parochial Schools are closed by law, in addition to sums already annually expended, is estimated at Forty-Five Million Dollars for Buildings and Seven and a Quarter Millions Annually for Teachers and Going Expense. The Educators of Michigan unanimously agree that it would take ten years to provide the school facilities which would be demanded if the Private School Pupils havq to be educated at Public Expense.

Legislature and the County Officer* of Barry County.

At the Primaries last August the Republicans of the County placed in the field a ticket worthy the support of every voter of the County. All the candidates are Loyal, True Blue Americans, qualified in every way to fill the offices for which they have been nominated. Several of them have served their first term with- credit and honor and they are entitled to your support in recognition of their excellent service. Those who have n^t yet served in this capacity are well qualified and well known. < t ' i John C. Ketcham Candidate for Congress Mr. Ketcham won his nomina­ tion'in the August Primaries by about 8000 plurality over his clos­ est competitor and every voter In Barry county should make Nov. 2nd a day of special importance in taking this opportunity to elect Mr. Ketcham by a big majority. Mr. Ketcham successfully served Barry county as school commis­ sioner fdr 8 years, has been Mas­ ter of the State Grange for 6 years and National Lecturer of the Grange for 2 years.

Elmer McArthur Candidate for State Sen­ ator Alfred M. Nevins ■ Candidate for State Repre­ sentative It is proper that Barry, an agri­ cultural county, should be repre­ sented by A. M.

For many years he was supervisor of Orangeville town­ ship, and was county* treasurer for four years. He is a member •of the Farm Bureau, and favors the principle pf co-operation among farmers, as is evidenced by the fact’that he is a stock­ holder in the Delton Co-operative Creamery, the Delton Co-oper­ ative elevator, and a stockholder in and manager of the Doster Co­ operative Elevator Co. He will aim to faithfully represent Barry county in the legislature. Mr*. Ella C. Egglestoq Candidate for Probate Judge Walter Burd Candidate for Sheriff .

England (^andidatJ for County Drain Commissioner “Joe” Campbell has served one term as county treasurer and has given Barry county mighty good and efficient service.

MICHIGAN Vote “NO” on the School Amendment Michigan’s property owners paid last year an aggregate of over One Hundred Millions for taxes. The Budget now being prepared by Commissioner Foote shows a demand for more State Taxes than last year’s total by several millions of dollars. The dumping of the Private School Pupils of Detroit alone on to its Public Schools would cost that city Twcntv-Eight Millions for new buildings and Three and a Quarter Millions a year for maintenance. The same cause would increase the School Taxes of Grand Rapids by Fifty Per Cent. The Direct Taxes of every district would be increased, with no increase in Primary School Fund money. The total amount of new -money to be raised by taxes for Educa­ tional Purposes in Michigan if the Private and Parochial Schools are closed by law, in addition to sums already annually expended, is estimated at Forty-Five Million Dollars for Buildings and Seven and a Quarter Millions Annually for Teachers and Going Expense. The Educators of Michigan unanimously agree that it would take ten years to provide the school facilities which would be demanded if the Private School Pupils have to be educated at Public Expense. / _ Vote “NO” on the School Amendment SOUTH WOODLAND.

No other food has played so important a part in the civilization of man. It has changed his habits from those of the savage to the civilized being. The more advanced the civilization the greater the demand for the highest grade flour. For nearly three generations Look tor the ROWENA trade-mark on the sack Lily White “The Flour the Best Cooks Use” has been keeping pace with the exact requirements of America’s fast development. Today it is the choicest product milled in this country. It is made from the most select wheats grown in this country—a blend of soft and hard, to give perfect bal­ ance and make it the ideal all-around flour. It has nutri­ tion and sustenance. Few flours equal, none surpass it in texture and color. The grain is cleaned four times, scoured three times and carefully washed before going on the rolls for milling. The bread, biscuits and pastry made from LILY WHITE have a flavor that is most appetizing—they are light and bake in a way to delight all enthusiastic home bakers. A treat is in store for those who use LILY WHITE. It is guaranteed to please. Ask for it at Your Dealer’s VALLEY CITY MILLING CO.

( This Means That We Paid Our Patrons Approximately $2500 More For Their MilK During October Than They Would Have Received From a $2.25 Price These facts should show to you that this Condensary is paying every cent for your milk that the conditions and circumstances will allow-^-and that the market price afforded you is mvich higher than that paid in unost places. * ., . We regret exceedingly that present ^prices for milk are hot what they should be—and still The decline in milk prices it not so great as in wheat, potatoes, apples or other cash crops. . ' z This should be an encouragement to every dairyman and an incentive to make 1 greater effort to produce more and better milk. This is a Truth worth learning— / . % You can lower production costs with better cows and better methods. Thereby bring you bigger and better returns than can be obtained from most othfer agricultural products. Hastings Condensed Milk Company , Hastings, Michigan 4 Florida** Exceptional Climate. .

We stand first on quality. There is only one grade of Nucoa Nut Mar­ garine—the very best. Being made to a definite formula, there is no variation in tho superior quality, the even texture, or the delightful flavor of Nucoa. It can always be depended upon. . Purity. Nucoa Nut Margarine is purer than any farm butter that ever was pro­ duced. Being made by machinery, under the most sanitary conditions, there ia no possibility of contamination by farmyard filth, tubercular or other disease-producing germs. It is never touched by human hands. It is absolutely clean and pure. Food Value. Nucoa Nut Margarine has a very high food value. Cocoanut oil is the most nutritious food element known. In.quality of nutriment it is much superior to animal fata, and is more easily digested and assimilated. Thus you get more-value for your money. Economy. Nucoa Nut Mnrgartee will save you money. While of high quality and of great nutritive value, it is sola at a very reasonable price. "Economy” is the watchword in these days of high prices. Nucoa Nut Margarine will cut your table ex­ pense very materially, and result in the saving of many dollars' In the course of the year. , ' , Not an Experiment Nucoa Nut Margarine has passed the experimental stage long ago. It is nqw accepted as a standard food product of the highW quality. In hundreds of thousands of homes it is used exclusively for the table. Its superior qual­ ity and low price make it a universal favorite.. Order a pound today. You will be­ come a Nucoa Margarine enthusiast ; ASK YOUR DEALER FOR NUCOA. ' ’ During the time that Nucoa has been before the public, forty-six imitating products have been placed on the market, each claiming to be “Just as good as Nucoa.” ... '. . / The people have given them all a fair trial and then come back to Nucoa. Today more Nucoa is sold in the territory served by us than all other oleomargarines combined, thus proving the right to the slogan t “The World’s Best Spread For Bread” The Retail Grocers Advocate VOL. .XLIX.r.

The price of milk for the month of November ia ap­ proximately 18 per cent lower than in November, 1919. Thia should convince you of the worth of sticking to the Dairying Business and making every effort to produce more and better milk at the lowest possible cost. More and better cowswill do it.

The resulting scarcity of merchandise will cause higher prices-and certainly not contribute to loWep prices. Let us all be sane: about the'whole thing and save tht» calamity*, let us buy what we need, cut out speculation and let us keep the wheels running. One thing good has come out of this, the profiteers have got through and we are getting down to sane business. Look, act and talk optimism, that is the tonic for Prosperity.

Service Quality V For the past ten years it has been the desire and aim of this firm to develop a bakery in Has­ tings whjere everyone can secure the bakery service they most desire. Like all other firms in like business we have made mistakes And from them w’c have tried to benefit and come through the mistake with a better and more com­ plete service to our patrons than before. We realized some time ago that in order to render the greatest service and keep constantly at it we must conduct a Standardized Bakery— that means that we must have a standard for everything—standard of measurements, stand­ ard pf performance, standard of practice and a standard of quality. About this we wish to say just a few words. “ When better baked goods are made Star Bakery will make Our Cordial Invitation To convince you that we have learned many things about the bakery business we now extend to you a most cordial invitation to call and see us make Star Bakery products—see our equip­ ment for handling every phase of the work— see how, sanitary and clean every step is in the entire process. Come as early in the day as pos­ sible so you can see the very first steps—and we know you will go away fully convinced that wev are doing all that can possibly>be done by sci-* ence apd invention to make and keep our pro­ ducts dean, and produce goods of highest quali­ ty that we may render the greatest degree of service to ^every patron.* y CHARLES RAT COMING.

As with tobacco, coffee plant ­ ing, cultivation, harvesting, selection, grading, blending, roasting (or curing) and preparation for the market are necessary processes for properly render­ ing the hidden flavor and delightfully satisfying taste. Every smoker knows that while one tobacco may be unfit to smoke, a fine aromatic cigar is produced by blending the same tobacco with another variety. And so it is with coffee. The rich aroma and appetizing Ga­ grance obtained in QUAKER COFFEE is the result of intelligent selection, expert blending, skillful roasting and sanitary handling and packing. It is the admirable combination of these processes that is making thousands of friends for QUAKER COFFEE. And. too, QUAKER COFFEE is fresh. It is roasted daily, and marketed at once. Only fresh coffee can produce a really good beverage.

The will provides that the executrix shall dispose of certain personal prop •rty left by Burton to Gibson by the term* of the will, and give the proeeeds to Gibson. Tho latter claims that to sell the property now will be to hia disadvantage, and that Burton left enough money to care for nil the debt a and expenses so the sole is un­ necessary. Ho therefore asks that the sale bo not made, and the terms of the will bo construed so a’ to permit of the delay.

Frequent physical examinations are given and healthful athletics encouraged. In rainy weather dry footwear and stockings are loaned. In the dining room meals are very, very good and are provided at very low prices. To injure the best service possible, strict discipline Jit is true, must be maintained in the operating rooms but after hours and during rest periods complete relaxation is encouraged.

Three years ago a few of the busi­ ness men of Middleville had a “gettogether” meeting, with a little spread, such a good time resulting that they re­ solved to repeat. The next time tho merchants of Caledonia wore invited to tho meeting and banquet, and nil had such a delightful time that it was decided to invite the merchants of Alto, who came and likewise had a most enjoyable mooting. And so the Business Men’s Mutual Benefit Asso­ ciation-has spread until to-day it in­ clude* the merchants of 10 surround­ ing towns, has a large membership which i« lapidly growing, and every meeting is inereulngty pleasant.

Fr.

But the month of November is not yet over. This Great "November Drive” is st,ill to present wonderful opportunities for buying desired merchandise at lowered prices that are almost startling at times. • Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. We trust it shall be a much-enjoyed anniversary for all. ' ' > ' ■ ■■ i Hr •• ■ Today we simply wish to announce the news that our November Drive is to be wound up in a blaze of Worth-while economies during the next four days—Friday, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. A "DRIVE FOR LOWER PRICES" FOR YOU. A "DRIVE FOR LARGElf SALES” FOR US. ( A "DRIVE TO STIMULATE INDUSTRY" FOR THE NATION. ■: ,1. A great merchandising movement such aa we are conducting this month is vaitly more than a mere "bargain sale." The whole nation has been facing indurtria! do­ presjion. Every force which tends to find a user for a commodity, is a definite help to national prosperity. As fast as goods are sold new goods can be made. When you buy out goods we can go to market for more, and the manufacturers can employ tabor to produce ’ nore. There have been targe sacrifices made by manufacturers and by storekeepers; ' but if these sacrifices impel the public to buy goodfi freely, the losses will be well I .winth white. All the immediate gain goes to our cu$teIuer8 wfco share the goods f on which prices have been so radically lowered. 1 z* f Come to our store just to realize what this great movement means for you. f r f * f Remarkable Ready-to-ltiear Jale Cteara»ay of Charming ifo» Coats Suits Presses A two-sided service is promised by thia event, for it will fnean an early selling for us and a longer service for the women who buy these garments and enjoy tho use during the whole season, which ia always most satisfactory.

Morrill, Lambie & Doyle Advertising The Worth of Dairy Products It is reported that Rock County, Wisconsin, (one of the biggest dairy counties of that state,) will spend about $5000.00 during the next few months promoting and en­ couraging the dairy industry. This will be used in educa­ tional campaigns respecting the food and health values of milk and its products. One of the reasons why there is not a greatet demand -for milk and milk products is because those interested in the dairying business have done little to advertise their products. It is claimed that the milk producers around Detroit are going to spend one per cent for advertising their pro­ -duct. Many people selling other lines spend from 5 to 10 per cent of their sales for advertising purposes. . A lot of energy, time and money is spent in market­ ing tiie wool crop and the cotton crop—and they are quite insignificant compared to the “dairying crop.” Why would it not be worth while to do something in the way of advertising the dairy business? * Every producer of dairy products should use these products on their own table and not buy substitutes. The substitute fnanufacturers are spending millions in adver­ tising the merits of their products. Many farmers are buy­ ing and using these substitutes instead of their own pro­ ducts. It. seems to us as though it must be hard for a pro­ ducer to ask anybody to use his product when he doesn’t use it himself. S Think these things over seriously and then “get into the'collar," produce more dairy products and build up ■ a better herd, for the demand for dairy products is steadily growing. No substitute can ever be produced that has the same food and health value. �SPECIAL PRICES WANTS THEBE GOODS ARE FIRST CLASS AND ARE BOUND Thanks Japan Tea, -81.00 erode, per lb: Japan Yea, Spec in I, |«r lb .......................................................................-• Be4t^quality Carolina Head Klee, p6r lb Canned Peas, Cbdsr Grove Braud, per dox31 N«w Mixed Nuts., per lb• Frosh Prunes, best quality, pur lb. 1 .J’t|lo Rico Mola«»e», bulk, per kts!..................................... -.................... 81 Thousand Island Dressing, j*rr jhr.■ Clover Brand Ba.eon, per lb< PREMIER SALAD DRESSING.

The farmers in the Northern and Central districts in the United States are looking towards the Southland. Thousands of them are going there to establish homes, several going from Barry County. The northern “energy” mixed with southern soil and sunshine, are bringing about new and unheard of opportunities in the South, where Nature has done everything to make a land of unlimited agricultural possibilities. Many Michigan people wishing to escape the rigors.of a northern winter; many Michigan farmers desiring to get away from winter seasons when half their feed goes into stock to keep them warm, are turning to the South with its sunshine, its rich soil, and its 365 days of growing Where Our Land is Located The Kinds of Crops You Grow The National Farms Estates for which I am General Solicitor for Southern Michigan, has opened a large tract of land on the southwestern shore of Lake Okeechobee in Florida, south of the central part of that state, between north latitude 26 and 27. South of the 26th meridan brings this District into the most southward portion of the United States, end within 1500 miles of it are 90 millions of people comprising the BEST MARKET in the world. ALL of these people must be fed, and they are in the market for EVERYTHING that this District can produce. Located as it is oil the shores of one of the largest inland bodies of fresh water in the South, ita climate ia modified by the sea breezes, from both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic. The District has. been thoroughly drained, good roads have been built, and a Canal connecting Lake Okeechobee with the 'Atlantic will be built, giving cheap water transp'ortatibjl to the great marfrets of the East at times when products command the highest prices. ’ »' 1 t THE SOIL “ rich ^leck muck’ averaging 4 to 12 feet in l?V ■ depth, and actually analyzing as rich as the rich­ est commercial fertilizer.

One dairyman in this section pastured 100 head of stock the enland. He also stated that he bought a piece of land for his brother, who was in France.

Perhaps you have wondered where the Tomatoes, Beans, Onions, Cabbage and oth­ er vegetables that you see in the dead of winter,- come from. Farmrs in this section are growing them for you—and getting big prices for them. It would surely be more profitable for you to farm where you can get a double income the year around in­ stead of losing your time, which fa worth money, during winter months, feeding up valuable food stuff to.the stock,- and taking chances on selling this stock on a high enough margin to return you a profit. While you are burning.up expensive fuel for months :... and waiting around for frost to get out of the ground, the farm­ ers in this section are turning their time into PROFIT. _ri.NOT, the National Farms Estates will provide all meals, Pullman ,r faTep; side trips, etc. All you will have to pay is your railroad ‘ ‘ fare from Hastings to Moore Ha von and return, which will amount to about $100 for the round trip. But in case you buy 20 acres or more, your expense for railroad fare will he deducted from the purchase price of yotir land. This offer of the National Farms Estates to provide your meals, berth, side trips, etc., wheth­ er you buy land or not, indicates their CONFIDENCE in the prop- osition. If it didn’t have MERIT back of it they would not make such an offer. If you find the land to be just as it is advertised to be and wish to invest in 20 acres or more, your railroad fare will be deducted from the purchase price of your land, which will make you a FREE TRIP. This makes it a good straight BUSI­ NESS PROPOSITION, giving every man a chance to inspect the land, see for themselves what it will produce, and whether the statements made regarding it are just as they are presented. »The Next.

Do You Eat Oleo? Do You Know How Much Oleo Will Be Sold In 1920? There are a lot of people eating oleomargarine who ought to eat BU I TER I Oleo—whether made from vegetables or animals— has not nearly so great food value as Butter, and wjien considered from this point of worth is not any cheaper than BU 11 ER. ' But somebody eats lots of Oleo! •» • Nut Oleomargarine was introduced into the United States in 1916 by the British Government and we wish you would read the following table of sales and see how the sale of Nut Oleo has grown in four years: 1916 __ .__2___ 1,900,000 pounds 1917 __________ 18,400,00 pounds 1918 _________ _43,700,000pounds 1919 _________ .14(^200,000 pounds 1920 (estimate) 210,000,000 pounds Based on the first eight months of this year, it is safe to say that the consumption for 1920 will exceed this estimate. These figures are taken from Gov­ ernment Record*. * NOW HERE ARE THE FAC1S. The prosperity of the man on the farm depends upon the size and value of his products, and the by-produtUfl of his dairy herd—the principal one of which is BUl i EK— depends upon the DEMAND for them. , v Every line of business and practically every job in the country and especially in Barry county depend* upon the prosperity of the man on the farm. Now, Mr. Farmer, are you buying Oleo or are you us­ ing your own products—milk, cream, butter, cheese etc.? Somebody buys Oleo, that's certain, and if you do you are not helping the farmer nor yourself. If you wish to be of the greatest value to the agricul­ tural and dairy interests nf your county use dairy products and build up bigger and better dairy herds and produce s more and better dairy products.

Our Red Tag Sale of laat month did the buaincBfl, it reduced our stoik almost thirty thousand dollars,'and \ve are now buying every d§y on the new market, replenishing the stocks with the best merchandise at lower prioes. Wo are therefore in position to offer to the public the best merchandise at a lower price than it Wil) be found elsewhere. The goods we had on hand we marked down to the new ' level, and in this, our Reeonsiructlon Sale, you may have the confidence ttyat prices are right and have reached the low mark and will not be lower for six raojPths. , 1 This, our Reconstruction Sale, is on seasonable merchandise. A great deal of thought and consideration has been.given this event and great (fare will be taken that nobody will buy goods cheaper in the big cities than they will at their home store. During this sale we- make prices regardless of loss or anything else, because we believe in keeping merchandise moving and that it is better to forego profits or even take actual losses than to allow our volume of sales to shrink. It fcill be advisable to buy your surplus now, as many lines are stiff­ ening up in price ahd some are not even being manufactured at the present time. ....... -• । ; r- S - I <• '■ / *’ ', : . . •/ •’ ’ ■ • I ■ • • RUE At thia time of generally unsatisfac­ tory buying conditions, it is empha­ sized to-the thoughtful purchaser that the triia value of a corset does not lie in the number of dollars you pay far it, but in the number of flays it will wear beyond the life of the average corset and continue to give you the joy of possession it gave the first day you put it on. “Munsing” and “Carter’s” Union Suits for Women and Children.

Gifts Men Appreciate Somebody has said man has a “single track” mind. He gets a few furnishings that* suit his daily work and perhaps a little something extra for Sunday wear. There he stops. But. how delighted he is when he receives a gift of furnishings that equip him properly and comfortably for his motoring, his fishing or hunting trips, his work about house and yard—as we)l as business and social wear. . It’s his wife or mother or sister, with her woman’s intuition, who gives him a variety of shirts, hosiery, gloves or other furnishings to fit various occasions. Otherwise he does not get them.

' Dear Sir: We desire to call your attention to the fact that we * ■ have concluded to build a new moving picture <ln<l vaude­ ville, theatre in your city. This theatre is to be one-of-a chain of teh theatres which the Michigan Productions. | Inc., is establishing in various small cities of Michigan. I Each theatre will fee new and modern, properly ventil­ ated, and kept in a strictly sanitary condition. u.Onr’program will consist of high-class feature pictures; vaude.villt:Uyayclosu<aicqmcdi»;BUi«c.aad occtmonal operas' ' at reasonable prices. Wherever, groups of people assem­ ble the most sanitary moral conditions must prevail. This is our aim. Our plan of fmanjje is one tfratSgives every patron-an • opportunity of sharina in the prdfitt of the business. The Company is divided into 1 5,000 shares of a par value of $ 10.00 per share. Each share of stock entitles the holder to one vote in all elections and special meetings, thus every stockholder is a part oivnor. with a voice in the manage-. pient of the Company. A Board of seven Directors shape the policies of the Company. . ' 'f To each community-in which we are establishing one of this chain of theatres, there will be apportioned 2000 shares of stock, the same to be sold in lots ranging from one ^hare up, but not exceeding 500 .shares tp any one person, thus guaranteeing our stockholders that no one man or group of men will lever own controlling interest in the Michigan Productions, Inc. The Michigan Productions is a Michigan corporation, operating under the laws of, the State of Mjcfiigan.^nd at present has Two Hundred Fifty-five stockholders with the list growing daily. It Fas fieen organized without the issuing of one dollar of promotion or watered sto-k to anyone. The stock is non-assessable and fully paid. The moving picture industry is growing in leaps and ' bounds and wherever selfish individuals have secured con­ trol of any branch of it the people are paying a big price fpr yyhat they get. That there is money in the business there is no doubt because records show that practically One Bil­ lion Dollars was spent during the past year foj- admissions to Emotion picture shows in the United States. The management of the Michigan Productions, Inc., believes that the people of the United States are tired of crowding into dusty and ill ventilated buildings for their entertainment. Structures, and mothwith their new and modern theatres. 81.75 Potto Rico Molasses, bulk, par gal. .fl AO Thou la nd Island Dressing. per jar . Clover Brand Baeon, per 1b............... PREMIER SALAD DRESSING, OLIVE RELISH, RICHELIEU SALAD DRESSING, BARLEY SUGAR CANDY. Dr. E. L. Avery Chas. P. Adams Thoa. J. Fausaett D. W. Friabee F. E. Sayles H. r. Campbell John B. Barron The Michigan Productions, Inc., believes that if the business is left to the judgment and financing of one man or group of men of wealth that greed would no doubt prevail, high prices charged for cheap programs, thus de­ priving the theatre-going public of that to which they are rightfully entitled. Thus pur appeal is based on a desire to elevate the industry by creating a chain of theatres owned by, and operated by the citizens of the community in which we operate. There are no secrets as to thee prospective profits of this business. The management of Michigan Productions, 'Inc., is thoroughly familiar with every phase of the mov­ ing picture business. The organization has been a suc­ cessful producer, distributor and exhibitor of moving pic­ tures. Any theatre in its chain that nets less than $200 per week will be sold and the investment placed in other theatre property that will net that amount. When the chain of ten theatres has been established the above rate should insure an annual profit of over $ 100,000 on proper­ ties representing an investment of $1 50,000. In conclusion, we cannot urge you too strongly as to the advisability of acting quickly in this matter. It is a well-known fact that the moving picture industry pays the largest dividends of any other industry in the world and we are offering you an opportunity of owning stock in this great enterprise, which is a part of the fifth great­ est industry in the United States. Your investment is protected by a chain of real estate assets of unusual earn­ ing power. In all probability a few hundred dollars in­ vested in the Michigan Productions, Inc., will grow into thousands. Prominent citizens of your city are already making applications for stock in this Company. It will pay you to see our representative, Mr. D. W. Frisbee, who is also one of our Board of Directors, as he will gladly give you further inforfhation about our plan of operation and the feasibility of an investment in this chain of theatres. Thanking you, we remain, Yours very truly, Michigan Productions, Inc. By T. J. Faussett, as Pres, and Gen’l Mgr. Michigan Productions, Inc., D. W. Friabee. Rep., at Parker House, Hastings, Mich.

Beeayse 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. **' I 1. Because this Medicated Salt ia 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 put 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 Jor its being placed in the market which was done in 1897; Mr. Stockman You no doubt have been imposed upon with quack and imitation tonics in the part, and you may be just a little skeptical about stock tonics in general. Did . you ever inquire into the personnel of any of the con­ cerns who are on the market with Worni Destroyers, Stock Tpnica 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 whataover by the men who assume to prescribe for your stock.' When you buy DR. HOLLAND’S MEDICATED STOCK SALT you re­ ceive tha 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 merits for the past 23 yean, and one that has been fed con­ tinuously by many feeders for from 16 to 20 years.

During 1921 thia mileage again will be vastly increased. T It is estimated that 10 million automobiles and trucks will be in operation by the end of 192L The estimate for 1920’is 7,523,000. The most intensive use of all kinds of automotive ma­ chinery is in the 10-Middle Western states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), and the major problem confronting this company is to keep its patrons supplied with all the gasoline and lubricating oils they require. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is acknowledged to be the largest individual producer of gasoline in the world, and its efficient system of distribution makes it possible fot\he remotest citizen in the 10 states served to get his requirements of petroleum products with a minimum of effort and expense. Advanced methods of refining, originated in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) laboratories, have vastly increased the percentage of gasoline recoverable from crude oil s. The Company is striving to increase the yield of gas­ oline, and every effort is concentrated to the accom­ plishment of this result without sacrifice of gisolinc quality. The efficiency of Red Crown Gasoline is an illustration of what has been accomplished. The entire petroleum industry is working to multiply the motor miles which shall be available Suring 1921, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is leading la this effort. Prospectors are seeking to discover new fields to drill. Producers arc insisting on maximum output from wells already drilled. Waste of oil in transpertion is practically eliminated, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) efficiency in refining has vastly increased the average recovery of motor fuel from the crude available. Tha Standard 03 Company (Indiana) ia co-operating in every way with automobile industry and the Ameri­ can motorist to multiply motor miles in 1921.

Because Chiropractic i* the only non-tharapeutical method today that conaiders the actual basic causa of disease and eliminates that cause. If you had a plant that was sick and puny because it was not getting sufficient sunlight, what would you do? Would you gather a duster of electric lights and try to stimulate its growth ■by giving to it something unnatural, or would you take away the obstruction that shaded it? Under which condition would the plant thrive rftoot? The answer is obvious. By letting-the sunlight to the plant you are doing the same thing that the Chiropractor does when he adjusts your spine and permits a normal espression of. nervous energyin the tissues of your body. . , • 2. Because Chiropractic ia not founded on .superstition and nourished on cred­ ulity. Your' Chiropractor can give you an explanation of why he adjusts the spine so that you or any other reasonable individual can understand it Hjs reasons are not founded on partly solved pro^hnjs, but upon facts that are reasonable and must appeal to every logical person. ■ .*' *,*•* 3. Because the record which Chiropractic has made as the youngest non-tharapeutical method, is, in itself, ample proof Of its effectiveness. With 10,000 Chiro­ practors in the United States alone; with over a million people in the United States taking adjustments daily, it cannot be logically argued that thia is a fad which will fade in a day. No science, however well advertised, or cleverly explained, could have gained this vast following without a vast amount of merit being contained in its principle. Conservatives may argue that whoevef takes adjustments,is exercis­ ing poor judgment; but the fact remains that the great mass ef American people pos­ sess fairly level heads and dear judgment With one million minds in accord with the Chiropractic principles, it must possess a large amount of essential merit 4. Because the only way to regain health ia the natural way. A Chiropractor adds nothing to nor takes anything from that system which God has made as a per­ fect, coordinate whole. 5. Because the results which tho Chiropractor attains aro permanent1 results, and this because the cause of your disease has been removed. Cover up the symp­ toms and the-expression as much as you will; the results can only be temporary, so long as the cause remains. * ' ‘' '' | Mrs. J. R. Keirin^er wps of Mra.

I have put in a great many Furnace and Plumbing Jobs in Hastings and shall be pleased to have a prospective buyer inspect any of them. It always has been, and will continue to be, my aim to have every job 1 undertake done correctly, and 1 stand back of every piece of work I put out. Whatever is not right will be made right if you let ine do your Plumbing and Furnace Jobs.

The above picture is a good view of the No. 5 Wolverine. This is a fur­ nace which will give you service. ■< When You Buy a Furnace some of the money you spend is an investment and some is a dead loss. 1 he cost of the furnace is an Investment— The Cost of the Fuel You Use Is a Dead Loss —Hence—when you buy a furnace think of the fuel consumption be­ fore you do the actual money spent for the furnace. I desire to call your especial attention to Four Points to be con­ sidered Jn selecting a furnace:— AVAILABLE HEAT FROM FUEL USED. DURABILITY OF FURNACE CONSTRUCTION. ♦ EASE AND SIMPLICITY OF OPERATION. EFFICIENCY OF INSTALLATION. . . Wolverine furnaces are a development of nearly oila-half a cen­ tury of study. They represent the combined brain labor of many men. Everybody in the organization has contributed something of value nnd by constantly changing, as improvements have been suggested, they have beep developed into their present high state of proficiency. The best uf material has always gone into Wolverines. It ha* to be good when we guarantee them for five years. . The Wolverine guarantee is the strongest guarantee ever placed . on any heating apparatus. • ' . When you purchase a Wolverine Heating and Ventilating System you get one copy of a signed agreement-guarantee that has been de­ clared by prominent attorneys to be the fairest and most liberal guaran­ tee ever put out by any heating and ventilating concern. All systems installed by expert, experienced, factory-trained and factory-controlled mechanics, who are responsible to a department at the home office that watches them constantly. ' •' ' All systems guaranteed to heat satisfactorily regardless of outside temperature, in simple, plain English that cannot be evaded or mis■ construed. All defective castings replaced free of charge for five years from installation. You can now begin to see why the Wolverine stands so high in----the estimation Of- those who have them installed in their homes. Ask a Wolverine user. - Please remember that if you want a Good Heating Job and a Good Plumbing Job you should let me make you an estimate on your job.

In such an atmosphere we become as children and live again the happy days and see again the same dear faces Indeed, it is a season, when not merely the fire of hospitality should bs kindled high in the hall, but higher still should flare the genial flame of kindly charity. To a great many hearts does Christmas bring a brief peroid of unbeliev­ able happiness and enjoyment. For it is now that whole families, whose members have been scattered far and wide, are once rnpre united, and meet again to awaken old recollections and to enjoy once more the simple, homey pleasures that the holiday brings. Let us forget all selfishness now and give something of ourselves to those less fortunate. In doing this we find happiness by the road of right under­ standing. To replace the lavish giving and extravagant celebration, we shall make service our gift to humanity. Service is more and more becom­ ing an expression of the true spirit of Christmas. Let us take care in seeking that higher expression of ourselves not to for­ get little children. To them belongs the gifts and gay festivities of this joy­ ous day. In remembering as many kiddies as possible w*e are placing our gifts at the feet of the One whose birthday we celebrate at this time, who gave us everything in contributing to the human heart His message of boundless, universal love, teaching us to believe that it is the strongest thing in the world. And in doing for others, that we are keeping Christmas. "And if you keep it for a day, Why not always? But you can never keep it alone." �TILE HASTINGS BANNER THURSDAY. DECEMBER 16.

That’s why the farmer is coining to be the heaviest buyer of motor trucks. T At seeding time he hauls his seed to the field, thus economizing hand labor; at har­ vest time he hauls his grain, potatoes, and other produce, to, market, and distance being a less prohibitive factor, is able to secure better prices; and all through the year he hauls his live-stock and chickens to market, and is able to deliver them in better condition, and with a minimum of shrinkage. ....

C For time is the essence of all things. C Especially", is that so nowadays when help is so dear and so scarce. , ’ C Keep the horses on the farm work—use a Speed Wagon for all road work—all hauling and delivering. <1 You will produce more then—and you will get top prices for ail your produce. C When you see a Reo-Speed Wagon, you’ll know that there lives a progressive and a prosperous farmer. REO SALES COMPANY Phone 2468. Hastings, Mich.

Mr.-aad John e Most Useful Christmas Present Of All Every Housewife knows it a tedious,'fatiguing and thankless jQ|> .it is tp <^o the family washing—the old Way, “rub-a-dub-ddb”— an aching back, sore hands.and frazzled nerves. The Apex Team Changes It All Thousands of mo.dem housewives have been converted to the new way of washing by installing an electric washer and ironer in the home.™The Apex Washer and the Apex, Ironer, known as the h APEX TEAM. ‘ ' With ^vrfrr>v,,, easy and pleasant and the beat , the former fatigue and labor are done away with and electric power performs the task smoothly, rapidly and economically.. The clothes—whether the finest laces or the heaviest blankets—are placed in the washer which has been filled with hot, soapy *water. A button is pressed.to ^tart the inotor, the machine is started by |urning a handle and needs no further attention until the washing of the first batch of clothes is<complete. The Apex Swinging-Wringer is also driven by the electric motor and the clothes are passed from the washer through the wringer directly into the rinsing tdb. The wringer can then be swung into position to handle the clothes directly from the rinse water into the blueing, and. to still another position to handle the clothes in the basket. Of course the wringer can be operated while the washing machine is In motion. ■P W F f «I I Other Christmas Gifts Important Apex Features 1— All metal^-no heavy, water-soaked, wooden parts to lift out and in. 2— Original oscillating type—recognized by authpritiea. as the true washing machine principle. >. . 3— Triangular construction inrthe tub, producing strong; cleansing action. ■ •1—^Solid, lasting, all metal construction. 5—Three sizes in three styles to suit every need and every purpose. G—Swinging wringer which can be locked and operated ip.throe different positions. 7— Motive parts all enclosed, 8— Beltf^rive, to prevent burning out of motor and fuses. The Apex Ironer '1 The Apex Ironer is a fit team mate for the Washer and completes the ironing in. an hour of two that, by the hand iron, required a day or more. Not only flat work, but petticoats, house dresses, children’s dfesscs and even flounced pieces can be put through the ironer, 1 eaving the.more .elaborate ruff les to be finished by hand. .In fact, muit.af the-wash can ba bandied on-tbis ironer with astonishing ease and speed, from the smallest handkerchief to the largest tablecloths and bed spreads, including the finest underwear, shirts and apparel. The Apex is most .easily operated. IL wlhe only machine of AU kind to hay® elouL>lec<H)trol—bypither hand of foot.------- — - Goodyear Bros.

Many persons wonder why they have to pay 40 nr 50 eents, or mere, for the beef they buy when live cattle are ynly 10 or 15 cents a pound. In the first place, wa average only about ’/a pound of meat from the pound of steer far which we pay 10 or 15 cents. Only part of the other half consists of such by-produots as hides, oleo I oil, tallow, etc. — the remainder is waste. And the return frorri'by-products just now is very snirtk Hides and fats as well as many other items are down to pre­ war prices. In the second place, there are not many pounds of . the kind of meat for which you pay 40 or 50 cents, or more, in the entire animal. Some­ times the retailer has to sell a lot of the meat he buys for about what he pays for it, because you and your neigh­ bors pass by certain cuts and insist upon the other choicer cuts, such as steaks, etc. Necessarily, he must get enough for these choicer cuts to make up for what he loses on the less popular ones, such as soup meat, etc. The difference between the final retail price of the finished meat product and the first cost of the live steer is less than it is for . most farm products.

Throughout its long and noteworthy career it has fought on the side of temperance, combating the evil and waste wrought by liquor. It has stood consistently for clean manhood and womanhood, for high ideals and for strict obser­ vance of the law. The Grange ia still aligned just as firfnly as ever on the side of right. It believes that ■ ■ helped greatly to sustain this coun­ try in the difficult period of after­ war adjustment. Congress must know that the farmers oppose the r$9tpra,tiofi of Liquor. You who believe-in a clean America can help insure it in no better way than by joining the Grange. It is. a mighty power for progress; as such it merits your support. The Country Gentleman* the great national weekly of profitable farming, also stands unswervingly for a clean and orderly national life. It seeks not only to inform, but to inspire through its news of farm suc­ cess. You will find in its 52 big weekly issues many helpful articles and much wholesome entertainment —all for $1.00.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord, came upon them, and the glory of the Lord ehone round about them: and they were"sore afraid. . ■ ./ And the angel said unto them. Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you;' Ye hhall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God,- and saying, Glory to God in the . highest, and on earth peace, good will-toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the* Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning thia child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. . . U1 |S A Naval Academy. 1.

' The production of crude oil varies but I little on account of seasonal changes, and the refining processes are continuous operations. The consumption of petroleum products, 1 however, varies widely with the season. In summer, consumption far out-strips production,v while .during the winter . months the reverse is true. ■ To prepare himself for the aummerruah, the oil refiner, who is ambitious to render a quudmum service, must operate his refineries at full ca­ pacity throughout the year, aud must provide adequate storage to take care of his surplus outpot during the winter months, and store it against a day of maximum demand, when the country roads and city boulevards are crowded with ma- . chines, and the farmer has his tractor in tbe field. To perform this service requires the investment of huge sums of money, and the maintainanca of a complete organization at all tittias. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is ambitious to be a leader in the petroleum industry. It to ambitkfin to fender to the people of the Middle West as near a perfect service as care, thought, and adequate resources can devise. . In carrying on its bu side aS, the Company has invested more than 185 million dollars; it oper­ ates four large refineries in which it manufactures, the many varieties of petroleum products needed by the consuming public. It operates 3215 bulk stations, more than 1000 fining stations, and a fleet of nearly 4000 tank delivery trucks. Its permanent organization consists of about 23,000 efficient toy a! men and women, work­ ing under one head, to render a service which makes it possible for you to get a gallon of gas­ oline, or a quart of oil, or a pound of grease, when you want rt, and wherever you may be.

Some or the best Values are not Ad­ vertised q learance Vafi®si)enia(Ki mntedia ti Attention, Our January Clearance Sale begins on Monday, Jan 3rd, at 9 o’clock, and lasts only 10 days. .This Clearance Sale will draw the greatest, most enthusiastic crowds of shrewd and careful buyers ever brought together by . a. merchandising event in this community. Our prices for the sale will set the county a talking, for the goods we offer in this sale are strictly high grade and the prices have been slashed most mercilessly. We believe this is the logical time to' buy, as the prices-in this sale are less than replacements, and the market is already stiffening up on many items. We realize we have to take a big loss on our heavy stock,'but that’s no­ body’s business but our own; We never allow'anybody to undersell us in standard merchandise and in most cases lead, as you all know.

More and more is humanity demanding the practice of the gold­ en rule in the business affairs of life. Daily man is learning that “Business" and "Industry" are not the great things of life, but are only a "means to living." x x ' ! In the days just ahead there will be little use for the business or person whose motive is purely selfish; but the working motto must be "SERVICE FIRST." ' J Everything must be affected by this new order of things. It will be almost certain that he who is engaged in a business vitally essen­ tial to the welfare and happiness of the human race and who puts forth hie best efforts to produce a good product as cheaply as possi­ ble will receive a fair return for his efforts. This will be especially true of those who are interested in the Dairying Business, for the demand for dairy products is growing stronger year by year. • ; Millions are toddy without the health-giving nourishment of dairy products. They need them and are poing to demand them. Every farmer should- plan now to meet the growing demand for milk and milk products by building up a pure bred herd.

The dream that has inspired womanhood through the ages has been fulfilled. The Grange conferred this equality1 upon woman half a century ago. It was the first great national body to grant women the same rights and responsi­ bilities as men. Much of its success has been due to the heed it has given to the deep sympathies, the clear understanding and the instinctive justice of women. In granting this equality the Grange holds to its purpose of foster­ ing home life. It always has consid­ ered a satisfactory and wholesome home life the basis of all sound citi­ zenship. It realizes the great part woman plays m the making of such home life, and gives her-a wider op­ portunity to display her talents. The faith and vision that have marked the Grange through the years are undimmed. It offers to farm men and women alike a splendid field for service and improvement.

FURTHER REDUCTION IN PRICE OF FORD CARS Demountable Rims, Extra Rim and Rim Carrier and Same Size Tires all Round at the option of the buyer FOR ONLY $25.00, that formerly cost $47.50. There will be no other reduction in price on Fords, neither will there be any. change in models, was the announcement made at a recent meeting in Columbus O., of Ford Dealers at the Columbus branch. This an­ nouncement was made by a representative from the Detroit office who went into detail relative to present auto­ mobile conditions. ’ । ■ • • ••• , Some interesting figures were given by the Detroit representative that have a bearing on the business as a result of the recent reduction in prices. He informed tf|.e dealers that the Ford Company lost $30.52 on every touring car manufactured and the net loss on the roadster was $44.86, while on the sedan the loss was $81.88. On the profit side of the ledger were three models. The plain chasis shows $1.77, the truck $30.00 and the coupe, $30.00. i The Ford Company has ninety, million dollars’ worth of material under contract for 1921 at the old price and with these conditions, the above figures show that the company cannot stand any further reduction. It is almost certain that unless the company can go into the markets and make additionel purchases at low­ er prices than the present contracts call for, there will be an increase in prices after the first of the year. The Ford plant at Detroit is one of fifty automobile manufacturing concerns Which is in operation at any­ thing like production at this time. In the Detroit factory and all the branches the cofhpany has over 80,000 em­ ployees.

Ralph Wood of Grand Bap Grlie Townssud had the miafmtune It may seem etrange to the public at large, that Dodge Brothers are now employing more than twelve hundred hands daily, doing nothing but constructing new, larger quarters, in the form of new productive buildings, which, when equipped, will represent a value of approximately eight million dollars. Dodge Brothers did not discontinue that expansion program, just because cotton happens to be, for the moment or for the hour, at the lowest price in its history, or nearly so; because cottbn can not stay'there forever. History is full and over­ flowing with evidence that reaction equals and always follows action. ' Dodge Brothers will never do anything or permit anything to be done to jeopardize, the standing of their car in their family of dealers, or'with the American 8ublic, because they have no secrete with the public in le same sense that'they have no secrets with their deal­ er organization. We want them all to know the story just as it is,^because it is an inspiring story. If all indus- trial business was on the same basis as Dodge Brothers business, today, there 'would be do panic. The reason people do not buy goods is because they do not under,stand values; the reason they do not understand values, is because they have never been taught'values: and the reason they have never been taught values is because they have never had any standard to go by. They un­ derstand the gold standard, but they do not understand the motor car standard of value. Dodge Brothers, six years ago, undertook to do something that had never been done before. They undertook to and did establish a standard of motor car value; a standard by which motor car value could be judged. How did they go about to do that?, They determined, first of al), they would not build a car to conform to a price, but instead, they would build a car to conform to an ideal which existed in their minds. They believed the public-wanted a bet­ ter car of a certain type; they believed the public wanted a car of a certain type that they could afford to buy; that would be sale to ride in; that would give them assurance of long life and economical service; a good looking, easy riding, high grade car, at a low price. There was not such a car as that in the market at the time. Dodge Brothers undertook to and did build that kind of a car. I will give you a few illustrations to show you how they carried out their plans. We will take, for example, the tadiator. All radiators up to that time had been made of brass. All tho types of radiators in the market at that time were tried out The tubular type of radiator was found to be most efficient; it was made of brass. Mr. John F. Dodge inquired how much more efficient would that radiator be if its core was made of copper. On test, it proved to be six per cent more effi­ cient than the same radiator made of brass. Mr. Dodge then said, "Our radiators will be made of copper.” He did ndt ask, bow much more will it cost if made of cop­ per; he asked, how much mor* efficient will it be if . mgde of popper. He did not care what the cost was, | because that cost would be figured in ithe selling price. Residence Phone 2356 Garage Phone 2337 Dodge Brothers MOTOR CAR Another illustration is that of the starter generator. Dodge Brothers tried out the leading starter generators. There were many well-known, high grade starter gen­ erators in the market, the name of any one of which, in the specifications of a new car, would have carried with it. a feeling of confidence. When I first read the specifi­ cations of Dodge Brothers car and found the Northeast Starter Generator specified it meant nothing to me, or to you or to the public. Dodge Brothers did not care any­ thing about that. They knewiwbat the Northeast Starter Generator would do in the hands of the car owners. On receiving tho report of their engineers, they decided to buy the Northeast Starter Generator. It cost more than any other starter generator in the market by a wide margin, but it was procured because it was the best. You know the result. Take the body. There rover hail been an all-metal body com­ mercially marketed. All bodies' had been made of wood and sheet metal, screwed und riveted, together, squeaking, abort-lived. Dodge Brothers conceived lhe idea of building a body practically without joint*, in that all joint* wen- electrically welded, without rivets, with­ out wood; a body that would curry a permanent finish, that would aot squeak, would not rattle, would last, nn-' ’ *•»•» would ba cunvpicuously handsome. The dies from which these bodies ware built cost a quarter million dollars!-*-* heavy investment, especiaUy when every one said it in not possible to build that design of body. This body cost more money, but.lt wo* a better body. And so, throughout the scores and scores of items entering into the construction of tho car, Dodge Brother* strove to. build into that car better value' better qual­ ity. .They did not know what they .would sell tho car for; they didn’t fix any price on it, but when tl)oy*had built enough of tha car* to determine tho actual cost to build that kind of ear, they added to that cost a moderate profit, a smaller murgnin of profit than motor car man­ ufacturers had beer- accustomed to adding; and to thnt they added a selling cost, a .smaller selling co»t them anyone iu tho industry pro­ ducing in u large way had been accustomed to add; to that, they added a dealer'* proQj, u smaller percentage of profit than other motor ear milkers had figured. . That total comprised tho selling price. There was nothing added fur service that might or might not bo required, because Dodge Brother* determined to build a ear so good that it itvosld need the minimum ot service, unless neglected or abused, and such service should bo paid for, as nnd when needed, tho nunc a* you would .buy oil. fuel and tires a* and when needed. Dodge Brothers -were determined that the selling price of that car would establish a r.ew aud pojeptablo standard of motor car value. ' Mr. 11. E. Dodge Mid recently: “Today, Dodge Brat her* * profit per ear 1* a s«nllor profit per car (han when Dodge Brother* first sold the ear for -tov u bundled eight-five dollars.” < want you to get the full meaning ot that, and to do so I am going to give you »otno figure*.

The margat has got to break from forty-two dollars to twenty-nine dollars before tho price of Dodge Brothers/ears .will be affected. Coal, thousands of tons, cost them six dollars forty-eight cents a ton at their plant, because they bought it long ago, paid for it, and had it delivered before th» freight rate* ndvnrmed.

They havo dealers who now hat drcd orders against spring deliveries. profit added to the price of the car, and therefore, there is nono now to take off. Dodge Brothers’ great works aro operating at full capacity every day. It is good to be able to say to you that Dodge Brothers' im­ plicit faith in the, good will that grows out-af good valuo is being vin­ dicated by owrything that is going on in their plant* today. You know well that Dodge Brother* dedicated themselves, from tho very first, to the production of n car which should rise superior to nil externa! conditions, and bo, in effect, aud in fact, a law unto itself. They were supremely satisfied, to begin with, that good motor cars supplied a great and permanent human need. They were sure that no matter what happened, there woVlff al­ ways bo an Inexhaustible market for the particular kind of a car they hoped aud ptannAd to build. They were convinced that they could produce a car so sound in value; so saving, und <o satisfactory to th.- individual owner, that lio oatside influence could shake it* hold upon tho publie. The simple facts, as they exist at this moment, aro so inspiring that we are prompted to share them $rith everyone who share* with Dodge Brothers their faith In sound business principles. Dodge Brother* arc more strongly and soundly entrenched in the good will of the public at thi* moment than ever in their history. Every good result which John and Horace Dodge counted upon when thoy committed themselves to the principles ot building good will by building good value, hu come to pas*. Their eentainty thnt people will always discover a meritorious product, set it apart, prefer It and reward it, is continuing to come true with each end every succeeding busincta day.

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.
