' Aud still th* modest nickel is afraid &he January Carnival of Economy firings a ifote of Encouragement for (he /fe^ year You may say good-bye to the old slavery of high pricea. Let us hope they , are gone forever. Of bourse, thia first deep cut into old prices may bq /core favorable to you than any prices you may nee again for ninny months. When the new aeaaon comes, with its larger requirements at goods, there may be a alight advance again, for a time. But NOW the price-bara are DOWN—way down to the bottom of what you dare hope until Summer at least. First, the manufac­ turers cut prices and accepted big loaaw, to create large January selling, and we have co-operated in the fullest degree by shaving down our own profits—for this big January event. ! . A The price news that we print on this page should be abundantly convincing; but we want you to GOME AND SEE THE GOODS AND THEIR PRICES RIGHT HERE IN THE STORE. J ' No matter what you have been expecting, we think you will be as much surprised as you will be delighted to realize what w<- i.. accomplished in providing the most wanted goods, of every sort, at pneei that nobody would dare to have prophesied a few months ago. THE DAY FOR DOING WITHOOT THINGS IS PAST. , The time to possess and enjoy wanted goods is here. For while your dollars are still plentiful, they now buy HALF AGAIN AS MUCH as they did a few weeks ago. Isn’t that worth celebrating a Nejv Year for? . Doesn’t it justify us in feeling so enthusiastic about this greatest January occasion since the war began? Come and celebrate with us tomorrow and see how much more your dollars ar^/worth than they were a short time ago.

We believe the public will be fair enough to fully appreciate the frankness of the above when they consider the extent of our recent price cut which was in fact the equivalent of several reductions in oi»e, in our desire to contribute toward satisfying their demands for lower, living costs notwithstanding our sacrifice in marketing our cars at a loss until we are able to materially reduce present costs through Iqwer material prices and greater manufactur­ ing efficiency. While we have of course made some progress in bringing down operating costs, we stiU have a long way to go before any thought can he given to further reductions in pres­ ent car prices, so wo have no hesitancy in making these open statements to acquaint you with the true situation. . •' - • • Z , You can therefore give assurance to prospectivezpurchaseife of Ford cars that now Is their real opportunity to buy below cost and obtain delivery. Everyone is familiar with the heavy demand for Ford car$ in the Spring and this year will be no exception, as in spite of condi­ tions, business is already rapidly accumulating, so that many who desire Ford cars will be obliged to wait perhaps until mid-summer for delivery causing considerable inconvenience and possibly financial loss, particularly to commercial customers. t We expect you to protect the interests of prospective buyers in your community by plac­ ing these facts before them.

Home Baking the Cause of Low Bread Consumption YOU CAN OVERCOME BOTH BY EATING BREAD ALWAYS FRESH AND DELICIOUS. ‘ The public will eat more fresh Bread than they will Bread turned slightly stale. And the older the Bread grows, the less and lesa of it will they eat progressively. This is proved conclusively by what happens in any home where the housewife still bakes twice weekly. 'Let us say that she bakes four loaves each time.. On the fl rat day when the Bread ia fresh, her family fall upon it with delight and consume two fulj loaves. On the second day they, eat only half that amount. While.on the third and fourth days their consump­ tion drops with their enjoyment, so they eat only threequartfen, and finally only one-quarter loaf per day. . With her next batch of fresh Bread, their consump* ; tion again rises to the maximum. But WHRATHEART < BREAD ia alwaysi fnesh and keeps the daily consumption up to the maximum. . >1 BREAD that entourages thbm to eat two slices when )! they now eat but one. . '■ STAR BAKERY FHOMg SMI .

Sullivan attended the hearing of the Citizen* Telephone Co. before the Pub­ lic Utilities Commission nt Lansing Thursday, about 60 other people being present to represent other towns and cities, where it was proposed tb iacrease telephone rates. It hocim that various eitiea and town* along about the samo size had bean grouped together, the idea being to in­ crease the rates a certain percentage in all of them, the increase being 30 per cent in the case of Hastings, while cities like Grand Rapid* and Lansing were left completely out. In the grouping of those eitiea, Has­ ting* wa*. placed along with Cadillac, Traverse City, Ionia and Holland. Tho records of tho Telephone Company show that tho telephone exchanges nt Cadil­ lac and Travcrae City arc losing money; Tonin exchange make* about one-half of ono per cent, while Hastings and Hol­ land exchanges show a profit of 7 per eent. after allowing for taxes and de­ preciation. Attorney Sullivan argued that it would be manifestly unfair to increase telephone rates in Hastings, where tho local exchange is already paying a good profit on tho investment, to help pay deficiencies in other town*, which may bo operating at a losa, cither through laek oT good management or from oth­ er ease*. If those cities, where tele­ phone servico-.is being furnished at a iosa, argued Mr. Sullivan, want tele­ phone service they should pay n rate that will provide a reasonable return on the investment, and not put an ex­ tra burden on cities where exchanges are being operated at a profit. General Manager C. E. Tnrte, of the Citizens Telephone Co., of Grand Rap­ id*. wa* on hnnd and courteously re­ plied to every question asked. Among other thing* he stated that tho expense of everything tho Citizens Company had to buy was still going up. In' view of the depressed eonditiou of the cop­ per market, this *een>ed/very strange, and tho inquiry developed the possi­ bility that back of tho whole situation mny bo some gigantic trust or monopoly in the equipment line that is seeking to make tin inordinate profit on every user of telephones. We understand that thia feature will be further investigated nnd mny be taken to Washington for wider inquiry.

When the Chicago fire occurred nnd subsided many people scrambled through tho embers to find the safes In which their money had been put away. With Impatient hands these safes were opened to see’the condi­ tion of tbo contents. In many In­ stances thia baste was expensive. Flames were not able to penetrate these safes to consume the contents. Being airtight there was not enough oxygeg in them to create a blase. But ta many of them there waa-still heat.. When air was let frto these cafes they burst Into flame and the contents were consumed. Had they not been opened their contents would have been Intact. By the time the Baltimore and 8nn Francisco tires came such safe owners ns banks had acquired more wisdom. Ample time was given for them to cool off. In most eases It was found thnt the paper money was dried and life­ less but still Intact. Mfich of It went back Into circulation.

Pat Off The Purchase Of A Monument Buy Now The Monument or Marker You Expect to Erect On Your Family Lot This Spring ■ We Vn’fih to announce that we have made the pi ice sacrifice along with other retailers in other lines of business, and offer you a substantial re­ duction on all Mpnuments and Markers we now carry in stock. Why then put off making a selection? There isn’t a single reason for waiting—and every rea­ son for immediate action. Months ago when things were uncertain, when a “drop'’ in prices wds expected, there was reason to hesitate. , t oday, with prices settled, there is reason to act at once. The — it is already history and starting to buy. . •... The prices we offer now will be the prevail­ ing prices throughout this spring and summer, so WHY DELAY PLACING YOUR ORDER? It is only a few months until DECORATION DAY. An order given now will assure you of the, work being completed and set and give you ample time to have your lot in good shape. ' Nearly every year there are quite a number of people disappointed about getting their work placed before Decoration Day, all because they do not realize the importance of giving us plenty of time and they do not place their orders until late. Place your order early and be sqfe. We have the finest exhibition of Monument­ al Work ever assembled in our Showroom, and all our work is guaranteed to stand the test of time. We also wish to announce that we installed last summer one of the most up-to-date Sand Blast Machines ever introduced in the Granite Industry and the execution and excellence of the work is really marvelous. Think of the finest carving and letter-cutting being cut by sand and compressed air! If you are interested in seeing something that is entirely new, give us a call and we will be glad to show you the work of this wonderful machine. :t ?

Be more independent; don’t depend too much on assistance frdih your friends in case sickness or-reverses hit you j your heat friend is. your ihoney^ and., if you have a bank account you will have no trouble in meeting hardships with a smile. Start a Savings Account Now! $1.00 WILL DO IT. 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 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 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. . ■/ OBITUARY. | Do. You Educata Your Chiidranf Humming Bird** N«»t ._ . Mi»» Lottie S.

Jud Tunklns s.-iy* tty* reinin' an Sentiment la Favorable. During tha past two months there has been a wlduspread expression of Muntlmchl throughout tho stalo with regard to tho Stato Police. Four of tho more Important agricultural asso­ ciations, tho Michigan Statu Grange. Association of Farmers' Clubs, Mich igan State Horticultural .Society ami the directors ot tho Slate Farm Bu­ reau. have passed resolutions^favoring the continuance of the State Police and the widening ot their duties.' In each case there was full discussion before (hesu resolutions weyo passed. in a great ninny elites of the state similar resolutions have been passed by chambers of commerce and other commercial and civic bodies. Such resolutions have been approved in Lansing. Grund Ruplds, Jackson, Flint, *Puntlac. Kalamazoo, Battle Creek. Denton Harbor, louia, $uginaw. Bay City, Manistee and other cities. While those resolutions have varied In bhar ader. they have been of the same nature, all recognizing the heed of a Stalo Police. , Among tha state-wide organizations which have expressed themselves in u xlqillar manner uro the Antl-Saloon League, tho Association -of Jnutuul au­ tomobile tnsuranco companies and the bankers of the southwestern part of the state. Opposition to tho State Police, which seemed for a limo to bo very well-organized nnd strong, has been les* apparent recently. In three coun­ tie* where resolution* adverse to tbe State Police were adopted by tho board* of supervisor*. thuau rosolulions have 'since been rescinded. In Other States. In Illinois 1111(7 Ohio, where there Is no Slate Police force nt present, the Legislatures will bo asked to provide for such a/forco. In Illinois tho cham­ bers of cotpmerce of the state, with three exceptions, have asked for such action nnd tie bankers also have par.sod resolurions asking for a State Police. In Ohio the movement for the force Is alate-wljlo and depends large­ ly upon the, .agricultural Interests which have found ihnl good roods op­ ened highways for criminals as well as for law-abiding citizens. ' * In Pennsylvania, where tho constab­ ulary has been a success for many years, tin Increase of pay is asked for the officers and mon of tho force. In New York It lb probable that similar action will bo asked. California and Massachusetts, which huvo adopted tho State Police system in part, will consider expanding thoir forces.

PHONE 2483 The name of Abraham Lincoln belong* to the ages, yet the aimplicity and vision which were a fundamental part of him, arc woven in the very fibre of Ameri­ canism. But what was it that made Lincoln the foremost man of his time? Other men there were, possessed of a more extensive education. Lincoln himself felt that he was handicapped in competition, but the thing*which made him stand head and shoulders above his contemporaries was his wonderful simplicity. He saw with a clear vision because he refused to allow his mind to become confused with minor issues. He reasoned in straight lines, clear cut and well defined, and having reached his conclusion he could not be shaken. And so it is with every groat man or principle. They are simple, they are logical and they follow straight lines. Medicine today can only be classed as a con­ fusion of ideas. Visit half a dozen physicians, lay your case before them and you will get six different opinions with as many more remedies. One thing is the cause of your sickness. If one of the physicians is right the other five must be wrong. If the other five are wrong, their treatment is wrong and you will continue to suffer. How do you know which of the six is right? You are befogged with high sounding words that roll majestically off the tongue but which convey no idea to you except that you must be very, very ignorant. You are lost in a maze of conflicting ideas. Chiropractic is simplicity itaelf. it is logical and it reasons direct from cause to effect, with no possibility of confusion .and no time wasted on mysterious theories. Visit the offices of half a dozen Chiropractors, lay your case before them, a sit what the cause of your sickness is and your answer will be tbe same whether it is in New York or San Francisco. Not sometimes, but always. Make it a hundred Chiroprac* tors, or a thousand, and your answer will always be the same. It isn’t a matter of vague theory with them but a definite, established, proven fact. Call on your own Chiropractor, put the question to him and he will give you the most logical, and yet the most simple answer you have ever heard. BALTIMORE CENTER. Mr-.

DRUNA LA MEDA AS THE PETALS ADORATION THELMA LADY ALICE MELBA—/ MARY STUART COLGATE’S Leon Bauer �Mr. Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company, gives out the following statement: . "The price of the FORDSON Tractor has been reduced from $790.00 to $625.00, effective immediately. “TfiisTpffce change has been madepossibie through lower costa of materials and .the.fact that .wcare now located in qur new Trac; tor Plant with greatly increased economic manufacturing facilities in immediate connection with our foundry and machine shops and large blast furnaces where iron is poured-directly from theyire, giving us maximum efficiency with-the power to reduce cost of production, and down comes the price in line with our policy to market our products at the lowest possible figure without in any way affecting our high standard of quality. , “We are particularly pleased in being able to bring about this big reduction in price at this time because the farmer needs all the hjlp we can give him and this big cut in price will be the means of placing a valuable power unit within the reach of practi­ cally every one of them, not to mention industrial and commercial concerns which, likewise have benefited through its use and are already realizing, to a much greater extent, its value as a power and hauling unit. But particularly has the FORDSON Tractor proved a most valuable factor in the saving of farm labor, at the same time increasing the peracre crop yield as well as making possible a utilization of previously uncultivated land, to say nothing of removing no end of drudgery. “There is no question that the use of machine power on the farm is the greatest advancement made in the development of agriculture, not only in motley saving and mon,y making results, as-well as raising the standards of living on the farm to a much 'higher level, but because of its proved value in making every type of land more productive, and consequently our desire to place the FORDSON within the reach of all; "THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE PRESENT FORD CAR AND TRUCK PRICES, which are already at the lowest possi­ ble figure and now with rock bottom reached on the tractor price a further reduction in price of either the Car, Truck or TraAor is out of the question; in fact, the big price cuts have been made in anticipation of continuous maximum production and increases may be necessary before long if a large volume of new business is not obtained. Therefore, present prices of Ford products cannot be guaranteed against possible increases." Ask for the book "The Fordson at Work," which will be supplied free of cost. Let us demonstrate the value of the Fordson on your farm, in your factory, lumber yard, coal yard, or in any general hauling or power work you have to do and let us hade your order for a Fordson.

APLAIN STATEMENT Many of.our friends knowing that our yards are stocked with high priced lumber have adopted the plan of "watchful waiting,” thinking that we are trying to maintain the high price level of the past season long enough to unload our present stock. This is not the case, as we aim at all times to follow the market. We wish to call your attention to the following percentage of decline in price from the high levels of the past year: Dimension stock, such as 2 x 4 and 2x6 etc., about 30 per cent;— Yellow, Pine boards, flooring, ceiling, etc., from 28 per cent to 40 per cent;—lath, 40 per cent;—hard wood flooring, 40 per tent;—wood shingles, 30 per cent;— asphalt shingles and roofing 20 per cent;—-cement, 30 per cent:—sash and doors, 20 per cent to 25 per cent;— W^hite Pine - - - owing to the fact that the decline in price made by the manufacturer barely covers excess freight charges we have to pay we are not at this time in a po­ sition to announce any reduction in price. All other articles which go to make up a complete stock of building materials which we carry-are priced on current replacement values. mtw It ladling* to the gencrullons that are nx yet uiilmrii. Civilization journeys forward partly on book*, partly upon Hui memnrlnl day* of groat men. w tin 4»rr. ijulldi-r.i nf. thi' alate, upon or&niwi liny* aufKlUtalfr ipon. l.lMorh’ Imlhl’iig*. C No i»n- rib ully value the influence We know by actual figures that this country is fully three years behind on a normal building program. The number of new homes needed to properly house our population 1 runs into the millions. The railroads of the country are contemplating extensive improve­ ments. We also know that a large per cen£ of the lumber mills of the country are closed down and. that they do not have a very large supply of manufactured lumber on hand and the lumber manufacturers in general state that they will not make further reductions in the price of their product. Taking all of these conditions into consideration we believe that the price of building materials for the spring of 1-921 will be as. favorable as one can hope’for for a long time and we firmly believe that the one who buys early will do so to a better ad­ vantage-than those that wait until later in the year.

Cool & Dooley Sales Co Leon Cool, Garage Mgr. Andrew Dooley, Sales Mgr. 2E “Things Will Hum by April” Prof. David R. Friday of the University of Michigan made the above statement in an address before a group of Detroit business men the other day. He referred to business and industrial conditions in this country, which are, and have been for some weeks, more or less slowed up. ' Prop Friday is one of the world's foremost students of economics, and his opinions and predictions are usually sound and reliable. We are passing through the natural reaction from the profiteering and wasteful spending of the war period, but our big business and financial men are co-operating with the government and all danger of a disastrous panic has* passed. Everything is rapidly getting back to normal pre-war basis as it should. What yqu buy won’t cost you as much, and naturally ^what you sell won’t bring you as much; your profits will be less but more certain. z And in coming back to earth we are all taking a some­ what different view of things, we are going to be more ' careful in our spending, we must have real value for our money. With returning normal conditions the average con­ sumer will realize more and more the necessity for the high food value of dairy foods. z Old Mr. Supply-and-Demand is going to have a lot-tb say about prices from now on, and he is going to put a good, profitable price on milk. , z' As is usually the case when everything doesn’t go just right, lots of milk producers have decreased their herds; but the ones that had the judgment and courage to stick it out will come out all right as they usually do.

The Modern Viewpoint in the Petroleum Industry T WENTY years ago, when the famous Spindle Top gusher waa brought in, a great volume of petroleum permitted to apout from the diecovery well and flow to waste in ' the Gulf of Mexico, only the feeblest effort being made to conserve it . Today, auch a practice would ba considered so wasteful as *to be criminal. The modem view­ point docs not tolerate wdste in any phase of the oil industry. ♦' v For many years the Standard Oil. Company (Indiana) has been in the lead of those forces which sought conservation, economy and maxi­ mum efficiency in the refining of petroleum. Thia Company was convinced that refining meth­ ods were susceptible of continuous improvement; it believed tfiat widi every year of experience, more gasoline might be produced from the crude oil. In furtherance’ of tfiia idea of continually , increasing efficiency, the Company installed the beat laboratory equipment obtainable, and em­ ployed the most expert petroleum chemists. . From these laboratories, has come along other notable improvements, the famous Burton pro­ cess, to increase the yield of gasoline from the crude, without sacrifice of quality. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is so organ­ ized that it ia responsive to new ideas, both social and industrial. Its policy is flexible. It does not operate by, rule of thumb. The very foundation of its ability to be of auch funda­ mental service to society, Ilea in its recognition, of the value of a close alliance between industry . and ttrienccr It has developed an organization which fits smoothly into tho machinery of social progress. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is guided by men who represent in their points of. view the aspirations and determinations of tho new world in which we live. These men, Directors of the Company, conceive their task to bo that of guiding the industry in accordance with modem . ideas of fairness and justice. These men possess both ths experience derived from long intimacy ‘ with petroleum problems, and the foresight to anticipate the future with its constantly chang­ ing industrial values and econonyc needs. a 'i TT--.= Special Values in Women’s Wear I.u g- Would you care to save money on some of these dainty “Undiss"?

If you have no bank account, we invite you to start one at our bank now, no matter how small. You will add to it from time to time and it will soon be a source of comfort and security to you.

PHONE 2483 Vision is the driving force that impels every great organizatipn. The Chiroprac­ tic profession is an organization made up of men and women wfoo have a vision of mil­ lions of human souls searching endlessly for relief. This is the vision which led them to Chiropractic, and this is the vision which is always with them, ever urgng to more stupendous efforts, and more effective service. It has been said that Chiropractors are not-professional; that they overstep all bounds of ethics when they resort to printers’ ink to place their message before the people. They sec the finger of scorn extended toward them because they dare to tell the people openly the facts about Chiropractic and its results. Let-it, however, be said to their credit, that they endure that censure, knowing full well the price they pay. Why? Because every Chiropractor knows that he has something for which the 'gprld has been searching—something which will bring permanent relief when everything else ha* failed. With such a service to render, it would be nothing short of criminal to stand oil ceremony for fear of creating antag­ onism. With a world full of suffering holding in their hands the means of afford­ ing succor, it becomes a privilege, yes a duty, to send the message broadcast. ' : 1 Your Chiropractor ia one of ten thousand who is carrying this message to a world of sickness. He has the visjon of your need and he has the vision of health which can bo yours, if he can but impress this message upon you. If you will give yourself the privilege of calling, you will get a clearer and more logical explanation of the cause of your disease than you have ever heard befpre. AUCTION SALE!

Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company, gives out the following statement: "The price of the FORDSON Tractor has been re­ duced from b790.00 to $625.00, effective immediately. "Th/s price change has been made possible through lower costs ©F materials and the fact that wte are now lo­ cated in our new Tractor Plant with greatly increased economic manufacturing facilities in immediate connec­ tion with our foundry and machine chops'and large blast furnaces where iron is. poured directly fronrthe ore,* giv­ ing us maximum efficiency with the power to reduce cost of production, and down cotnes the price in linte with our policy to market our products at the lowest possible figure without in any way affecting our high standard of quality. c are particularly pleased in being able to bring about this big reductiori in price at this time because the -------------farmer needft-albtiitf'help we can give him and this big cut in price will be the meanS of placing a valuable power unit within the reach of practically every one of them, not to mention industrial and commercial concerns which like­ wise have benefitted through its use and are already real­ izing, to a much greater extent, its value as a power and '< hauling unit. But particularly has the FORDSpN Trac­ tor proved a most factor in* the saving of farm ' * ® fobor. dt the sartie tfnA ’rfbreasirig rhe p#r acre crop yield** as well as making possible a utilization of previously un­ * cultivated land, to say nothing of removing no* end of drudgery. v "There is no question that the use of machine power on the farm is‘the greatest advancement made in the de­ velopment of agriculture, not only in money saving and money making results, as well as raising the standards of living on the farm to a much higher level, but because of its proved value in making every type of land more productive, and consequent!}' our desire to place the FORDSON within the reach of aH. ‘“THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE PRESENT FORD CAR AND TRUCK PRICES, which are already at the lowest possible figure and now with rock bottom reached on the tractor price a further reduction in’price of either the Car, Truck or Tractor is out of the question; in fact, the big price cuts have been made in anticipation of continuous maximum production and increases may be necessary before long if a large volynle of new business k not obtained. There! orf. present prices of Ford prod­ ucts dan not be guaranteed against possible increases.” < , Ask for the book "The Fordson at V/ork/'Vrhich will be supplied free of cost.

FBBRPABY.16. 1921 Fur Farming on Ranches of Prince Edward Island the ' HE little Canadian province of Prince Edward Is­ land is known as the Garden of the Dominion.’ Nest­ ling in the sheltered conclave formed by the southern coast of the Gulf of St..Lawrence and protected from the Atlantic by the Cape Breton promontory and New­ foundland, its quiet is never seriously ruffled by ocean storms. Continually bathed by the ozone-laden sea air. its climate knows neitler extreme heat nor cold nnd is pleas­ ant, healthy and invigorating. Its summers are delight­ fully cool and its winters are enjoyable and bracing with­ out discomfort. . Possessing no large mountains or forests and lying low in the gulf, it gives a promise of monotony to the ap­ proaching visitor. Byt closer investigation sweeps away this impression. Clumps of trees, lovely groves, undulat­ ing hills covered with the greenest of grass, rich meadows, fat .com lands, abundant flocks and comfortable farm­ houses. churches and villages give it an appearance of well-being and prosperity. It is 130 miles in length and itr width varies from two to 30 miles while its drea Is 2,184 square miles with a population of about 93,000. It.is cultivated from end to end, ninety per cent of its whole area beingjilassed as “possible farm land.” The chief industry is agriculture nnd the well-kept farms and good buddings testify to the fertility of the soil and the skill of its cultivators.. There is no specialization in its field agriculture but the favorite lines are dairying, stock raising and gardening of vegetables and fruit*. Prince Edward bland has the distinction of being the only province of Canada which produces sufficient food for its own requirements. Not only does it achieve this but the value of the surplus product exported is more than sufficient to pay for all its other purchases. Fish abound in the bays and rivers of the island and around its shores and the annual value of the catch Is put at two and three-quarter million dollars. The famous Malpeque oyster which in late years has been threatened with extinction is found on the coast and the lobster in­ dustry employs about 5,000 persons. Poverty is practically » unknown on thedsland and there is a minimum of crime; the jails rarely have many occupants. While there are some Irish on the island the main racial ingredients are Highland Scotch and French-Canadian and the island has acquired a reputation for sending forth both to Canada and the United States-, more than an ordinary proportion of able men, including Franklin K. Lane, lately Secretary of the Interior, and President Schurman, of Cornell. Critics have, however, accused Prince Edward Island of being a hbpeless backwater where enterprise was un­ known and energy an unnecessary quality but the charge has been belied in a most convincing way by the success with which the inlanders have organized a very novel and profitable industry. They have brought scientific fur farm-. ing to a greater pitch of perfection than any other com­ munity on- the globe. As far as industries g</it may be reckoned young. In a wav it dates back as far as 1887. but it is only in the last decade that it has become one of the staple activities to obtain general recognition. Just as the diamond is peerless among precious stones so the fur of the silver fox holds an assured preeminence among furs. The description, silver fox, is decidedly misleading, for it is the trade name for the skin of the black fox, the term silver being derived from the presence of a glistening ' white and gray hairs among the black jet. The brush to be perfect sHbuld have a tip of pure white. On account of the luster and richness of the fur it is always fashion­ able in the feminine world and the demand is unlimited. But twenty-years ago it looked as if this fur would soon be so scarce us to be beyond the purses ofc all save a fav­ ored-few. Such survivors of the silver fox tribe as were left had retreated to the fastnesses of the Arctic -North and the Hudson Bay Company had fixed a standard price of $ 1,000 for a prime pelt. In 1912 a single first class skin brought $1,400. ■ In the eighties the rarity of this fur had set the mind of a trapper, Charlie Dalton, now Sir Charles Dalton and a native of Prince Edward Island, thinking. He had been a hunter ever since he wns a boy and his earliest recollec­ tions concerned the setting of a trap. He foresaw the day when the silver fox would be practically impossible to se­ cure and conceived the notion of bringing scientific knowl­ edge and industrial organization to bear upon the prob­ lem and raising foxes upon an intensive system as if they were goats or rabbity The more he digested theidea the more he became convinced of its feasibility. He realized T Fox By J. A. Stevenson Tssrffliwws: wiru TnhrijsniwTntras-srywwrimteirreitnibs and hud tried to year .«-ni. had usually failed, but h<? attributed their failure to l;u k of knowledge and proper environment. So he set him-.-U to study the habits of the tribe and io lais end acquire-! a collection of ordinary red foxes whose habits and w-eus he closely studied for some years. About 1890 he iesinu-A that a trapper friend on A.jliiu.-ti Idiouf across th - At had two pairs of silver -foxes* in et.plivity. He boit;1- th**in-and installed them in special quarters'which he had prepared on his farm at Tignish. Meanwhile, it happen d that another trapper called Robert Don I ton had been i a.-oaing in a similar strain and had begun pn liminary.studi- • ith some silver gray animals. Ono day Dalton, having heat'd of Doulton’s experiments, paid tha latter a visit and was 'allowed to see his animals. Then* ensued a prolonged discussion of the problem in­ volved. the prospects of the industry, and the best methods * to pursue. The,result was a decision to pool their resources ami form n partnership for the commercial farming of the silver lox. They set Up a large wire pen on Savage Island where Luuildn had his .ran. h and commenced scientific breeding in good earnest. The original two pairs of silver foxes bought by Dalton .'produced four .pups, which were successfully reared and it wa- proved that, given congenial conditions the silver fox could be domesticated juccessfully. • . The stock thus established was reinforced by a pair of young foxes found , in .a d-?n and successfully dug out. The firm soon found themselves in possession of a consid­ erable number of foxes and able to kill some of the older ones for their pelts, which found a profitable" disposal. * Neighbors who had jeered, at this “shiftless fooling with wild foxes'* became keenly interested in the new enter­ prise. Others began to embark in fox farming operations and mot with_gratifying Access. The inevitable result fol­ lowed. a boom in fox farming developed and people who had noLthe remotest connection with trapping or-the fur business began to start ranches. Expansion went on rap­ idly. especially when fox furs from the island began to realize l.-.rge prices on the London market. The pioneers of the industry found Semselves besieged with applica­ tions to buy pups and the demand for qtock caused a vir­ tual cessation of pelt production for tho time being. Com­ panies wore floated to embark ot\ the business and there was heavy buying in their shares hi the years pre|tcding the war. SL In 1912 there were 277 fox ranchei^pn the island, of which 143 belonged to c.mpanics. The total,value of their st/k-k was then estimated at $10,1)00,000, twenty-five per cent in excess of the value.of all the other liveSdoek held by the island farmers; At that time $20,000 was.not an uncommon price to pay for a pair of first-rate pupa and in one case the high-water mark of $35,000 was reached. The profits on one smnlkfarm capitalized at $10,000 eb-, nbled a dividend of 50(» per cent to by distributed one year. But the inflation of values.was too great and the boom could not last. It hud begun to collapse before the wtfx nnd its outbreak, closing as it speedily did the European market for' furs, hastened the end. A great deal of money *was lost but the effect has been to put the industry in a healthy condition. While high prices are still obtainable for a pair of good breeders .the industry is now on a pelt basis and, under good management, is* extremely remun­ erative. ' . '.. Contrary to early opinion the silver fox has not proved difficult to domesticate and farm. The chief requisites are patience, shrewdness and sympathy with the animal, coupled with the knack of noting its peculiarities and humoring them. The human factor plays a very large part in success. The average ranch contains from one to five acres and as far as p<>?.-.i'?le the natural environment of the to.% is reproduced. The favorite location is in a piece of thinned bush when mixed hard and soft woods -will both shade from the stimuli r heat and allow an ehrly thaw of snow and ice and whose elevation permits good drainage. Ah the fux is extremely sensitive to noise, the.farm should be removed afc far as pus ifile from roads and houses. The ranch js usually nu ll- .1 by a double wall of wire netting*with the inner wall's..distance from the outer boundary. The latter is design, d to keep out disturbing intruders and also to -prevent the escape nf stray foxes who. may -get'out of their pen’. The inner space is divided into pens, and there- is a double wall of wire between each. The best-sized pen for a single male measures 20 by 50 feet and 10 by 50 feet is considered necessary for a breeding pen. Between each row of pens there is a path eight feet’ wide with doors opening into each pen. The wire netting must'He'al 'Teasl"feh"Teel KigFf while on TKe’one hand,' is sunk deep into the ground to defeat burrowing and on.the other is bent over at right angles for a foot at least to pre­ vent climbing or jumping over. Inside the pen is a small wooden kennel. 8 by 10 feet, provided with a ridge roof, .entrance to which is through a wooden tunnel. The house is divided into two compartments each 4 feet by 8. It is lined with cork, chips, chaff or similar material. The average fox !-as a life of from.’li to 15 years and it is not uncommon for a rancher to start with a pair of pups costing perhaps $10,000 and find*hin»olf at'{he ertri of four years with a dozen pairs and an annual output of’ -40 peila. As the ynung grow up, the older animals are killed so that there is no renl depreciation. The chiof food con< (.- of horseflesh, tripe, coarse fish, and so on, which v. .old otherwise be wanted and it is supplemented by bis-' cuits, bread, vegetables, oatmeal, berries and eggs. A special fox biscuit factory has been started to cater fpr the industry. The general practice is to feed twice a day at regular hours. The external organization of the industry has steadi­ ly gone ahead. The leading fox ranchers have organized the Prince Edward Island Fox Breeders’ Association and have drawn up regulations to govern the classification of foxes! All the best grades are now pedigreed and class­ ified as eligible for registration, under Class A—the high­ est—iff the record book kept by the association. ' * • A? long as the London fur market, which was the greatest in the world, wai open, pelts were easily disposed of by auction at the seasonal sales held there. The prices behig very qatfefaAlpry .t hg farmers "were content with the system. But when the London market was shut down prices of pelts fell heavjlv and it became imperative to find new markets. There was a great demand in the United States but the conditions of marketing were very different.) In London the fur auctions were open but In the United Str.tes the directors of the auction* were often also dealers and price rigging was not unknown. The fox farmers soon found that attempts to sell individually in the new market would bring poor results. So the Fox Breeders' Association decided to form a fur sales board with an en­ ergetic manager in charge. Many ranchers bound them­ selves to sell their pelts only through it. It conducted some propaganda to dissipate prejudices against farm-bred pelts and met with excellent success in the fur markets of St. Louis and New York. In 1917 the Fur Sales Board con­ trolled 85 pen cent of tho furs produced on the island of which 70 per cent were sold at an average of $250 a akin, it controls today a smaller proportion of the sales, because the London anq Parisian markets are now open and indi­ vidual ranchers are shipping their pelts there. This year, however, thi- oxchange situation has dealt a heavy blow to the export trade to Europe and many pelts will go south of the border. Prices are much lower than before the war but the decline is balanced by the improvement in stock and better quality of their pelts. There are now 3,000 foxes on Prince Edward Island farms. One ranch which the writer visited held ninety breeding pairs and seventy more for killing for their pelts before Christmas. The industry has reached a stage which enables it to support its own literature, a paper called the Silvet Fox Magazine, having a considerable circula­ tion. Prince Edward Island, fox furs have now as estab­ lished a place in the markets of the world as California peaches or Brazilian coffee, and the success which has at­ tended their farming has resulted in similar ranches being established on the Canadian mainland and at various placed in the United States, chiefly in Maine and Michigan. This industry has the promise of great potential wealth and is regarded with great favor by the Dominion and provincial .governments which render it various kinds of assistance. And .the remarkable thing is that it has been built up m a quarter of a century from a few pairs of wild foxes. It has been feared that extensive production of the silver fox pelt will depress prices but with a lower price will come increased demand and mass production and.it will be a great boon to the people of the.northern half of this conti। nent if good furs can.be procured at moderate prices. —The Dearborn Independent.

EUY AH OVERLAND AND BE CONTENTED The contentment 'derived., from poueessing. an Overland car adds much to life. The OverJ land is not an experiment, it is a FACT. Thous­ ands of them are giving absolute satisfaction un­ der every condition known to auto drivers and users. Especially'has the Light Weight Oyerland proven its merit and met the demand for a light car. Efficiency, up-keep and first cosj make this car very popular. No matter how rough the roads the Triplex Springs absorb the jolts and prevent the usual rough riding. If you are not. an Overland owner we urge , you to see us and find out about the virtues of the Overland Light Weight Car. C. C. Robinson State St. Garage. COL. W. H.'CQUCH, Auctioneer. J. W. HOWARD.

Thursday, Feb. 17, 1921 i|yr —The Universal Car— 'I TTnrrl Automobile is justly entitled to the name, “Universal Car,” when it is A Hv J? VICI realized that there are more than 3,500,000 Ford Cars in daily opera­ tion, serving men and women in every part of the civilized world. Only one way the Ford could have brought about such a condition—that is, it must contain certain great fundamentals. THE FORD TOURING CAR the car upon which the entire energy of the great Ford Motor Co. waa and ia con­ centrated—the car which carries more people, more miles than any other make. The ono great distinctive feature of the Ford car ip its toarveluus motor—-surely one, if not thb greatest of triumphs mechanical genius has won—and the triumph lies n its1 wonderful power and simplicity. T his Model T Ford motor has no equal for reliability, as most forcibly illustrated in the fact that on December 10, 1915, the million mark was passed and not an important change had been made since the first one was built in 1908 — more than 2,000,000 motors consecutively — and coming through every day in thousands vrithout a single mechanical change. Ford Model T mqtor is a practically perfect motor. ; : Ford Touring Car Price $510.00 The Present Price of Ford Cars Is Not Guaranteed Against a Raise Volume of production has always been the, basis for maintaining the low price of Ford Automobiles and at the present time, with the Ford Motor Co. prod/ucing only about 250 cars per day and using high priced ra,w material, it is almost sure to bring a raise in price. / ONE THING CERTAIN—This light production is bound to make a,shortage of Ford cars and you desire to have a Ford to drive this coming season We urge you to buy at once while the low price remains a^d while you can get one. I j Simplicity in Design THE FORD SEDAN is one of the most attractive and desirable .enclosed motor cars on the market. It is a roomy five-passenger car, most conveniently appointed/ finely upholstered with a splendid quality of heavy whip-cotd cloth following the latest style of plait folds, making seats most comfortable for riding. Large plate glass windows in sides and doors, with silk curtains for the windsws in the rear and rear sides. The doors are of generous size,'making the car easy tb enter and alight from—in fact, the convenience of the passenger has been thought out, and the’ demands for comfort met in every detail. The rear seat accommodates three persons comfortably. The seat for the driver is‘stationary, but the other front seat is Mnged so that it can be thrown forward. . • ’ Ford-Sedan Price $795.00 THE FORD RUNABOUT The most popular little two-passenger car ever conceived, used by thousands ■nnd thousands of people every day. . The chassis of all Ford cars are the same—only the boulee,are.different This concentrated effort produces pnly the few hundred parts of 'one model and so escapes the costly mistakes and expanses which inevitably follow ttys scattering of efforts in the production of thousands of parts for many or yearly models. The fac­ tory thus effects a tremendous economy—in buying, mnnufactoring and selling—be­ sides in the after service that follows the sales. - Ford Runabout Large production makes the selling prices smdll. Price $465.00 Built of High Grade Materials • It is built of the very highest quality of materials known to the world of metals, so it WiH transport human life with safety; it has to travel the roughest sort of roads; it has to go where there are no roads, over mountains and through canyons, across the farm fields as well as the ma­ cadamized road and paved streets of the city; it has to plow through sand, snow, slush and ice; it has to go up and go down steep hills; therefore, it must be strong; no chances are taken on the quality of the materials used in the Ford Car. Its chassis, which in reality is the car, has always been built of the very highest quality of steel and iron that the science of metallurgy can produce. f Economical in Operation The Ford is the most economically operated automo­ bile on earth. It had to be so because it was designed to be used by everybody, which must necessarily include many people who could not afford to have a car that was a constant expense and drag on their finances. Otherwise it would become simply another luxury to be enjoyed only by the rich. Any Ford driver will vouch for the economyrifoperating/expenBefi. ~ '—"■**— —— THE FORD MODEL T ONE-TON TRUCK, has all the qualifications of reliability and all the in utility m service of the regular Ford car, plus added weight and treagth in the chassis and its splendid aluminum bronze worm-drive.

At the same time, the fuel and tire expenses are reduced, and the ease of control through the steering gears is insured. . Ford One-Ton Truck Price $505.00 Solid Tires $545.00 Pneumatic ...... Ford Service And in the matter of service Ford leads. Ford re­ pairs are to be had in practically every town or city in the country. More than 10,000 Ford agents are required, under their contracts with the company, to carry a com­ plete assortment of Ford repair parts. The dpllar value of these agency parts stocks at the present time is consid­ erably more than $12,000,000.00. You can never get very far away from Ford Service.

Grand Rapids, Mich. ~ The Auto Owners Insurance Company Oakland SENSIBLE AMERICA’S FIRST KNIGHT MOTORED CAR was organized in May, 1916, by men who felt a demand for protection to the automobile owner at a chat more reasonable than that charged by all the stock conipanisa. , It was a success from the start as is shown by the department below under the heading of “Our Pyramid of Growth.” Note the vplume of surplus as compared with policies issued. SIX . Our Pyramid of Growth Just what is efficient transportation, as exemplified in this new Oakland Sensible Six? ft is a swift and reliable conveyance for a man and his family, With security and/ comfort, at low cost, continuously and without failure. It is the conservation of time and human energy at the minimum of expense, the combining of safe and agree­ able travel With moderate investment. These are the es­ sential elements of the service that the Oakland Sensible Six everywhere delivers; these are the things on which rests its appeal to thinking men. In utility and conveni­ ence, in endurance and economy, it represents a value not to be equaled in any other type of car. Few things that a man c^n buy are so continuously useful as this new Oakland Sensible Six. As a business aid it is a means of ewift and economical conveyance, sav­ ing time, energy and effort. For leisure.hours it is a source of comfortable recreation for the entire family, adding health and.security to pleasure. It affojrds the most effi­ cient personal transpoi tation to be had. The present Oak­ land product is a refinement of the high power and light­ weight principle, in a chassis of longer wheelbase and stronger construction. More than*ever before, it combines maxiinum utility with minimum operating costs. 1916 1917- 338 LOSSES PAID TOTAL ASSETS NEW POLICIES ISSUED 1916 1917 $173.78 ; ,$186.13. 2720 1917 1918 5443 1918 $7,832.79 1918 $27,469.39 1919 10,100 1919 $37,459.73 1919 $52,583.61 i’2o $165,924.83 19’/ $5,714.29 17,873 ^$104,039.42 Atrto Insurance Necessary There were more accident* last year than ever beWith tho vaat increase in the number of auto“ , the necessity fbr insurance is greater than T IS CHEAPER TO CARRy INSURANCE AL•AND NOT NEED IT THAN TO NEED IT OT HAVE IT.

Stiles Since the first Titan went out to the fields five years ago, the farming world has invested c . si -eventy million dollars in Titan tractors. This is a record approached by no other 3-plow tractor. During those sixty signifi­ cant months of power history, countless experiments have risen ahd fallen, but Titan has advanced on a basis of practical design and workmanship to a success acknowledged the world1 around. Entering into 1921 we have effected arrangements which include pro­ vision for time payment and price reduction guarantees in the sale of Titan tractors. Titan owners are benefiitting by this assistance and safeguard dur­ ing the present period of uncertainty. ■ Faripers who believe in plain drawbar and belt power work that will cut further the costs of farming will use a^Titan tractor.

Petroleum Industry Proves Value of Self-Government T took the excessive war-induced centraliza­ tion of economic and industrial functions in the hands of government to dramatize the essential fallacy of trying to substitute the noli tician for men functionally fit for the job in hand.”—Glenn Frank, Editorofthe Century Maga­ zine, in The Politics of Industry. ’ I The clarity of Mr. Frank’s reasoning was dem- . onstrated by the efficiency of the petroleum industry during the war-time period. ' Petroleum was the one basic industry which was left in the hands of men trained “for the iob in hand” and their efficiency enabled the Allies to float to victory on a sea of oil. The lesson* learned during that period of stress have enabled the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to increase its usefulness a* a manufacturer of petroleum products. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has learned that a minimum cAoolitical interference with economic pro­ cesses is essenfial fo this or any other highly specialized industry that it may continue'to improve the service it render:. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believe* that the government of any business enterprise should come from within the' industry, and that this government should be beneficial alike to capital, labor, manage­ ment, and the public. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is organized upon a broad base to bring about this desirable condition. ' The Board of Director*, who are responsible to the stockholders for the management of the Company’s affairs, acknowledge the social obligation which the Company has assumed, and which they interpret to mean the efficient refining and distribution of essential petro­ leum product* of superior quality; to make these prod- ’ uct* available everywhere, and st prices which put them within reach of ail. To Accomplish thia essential task, the Standard OU Company (Indiana) ha* continually broadened the ba»e oi its operations, intrusting the administration of iu ’ complex and highly specialized business to men of actnowfadged authority, ability, and vision. dard Oil Company ha»ttwu« saxmu UCTION SALE BEAUTIFUL LUKES NOT APPRECIATED AND ARE AN ASSET THAT SHOULD Se CAPITALIZED TOURIST PARTIES SHOULD BE INVITED TO COME Automobile aud Good Roads Open a Good Business Ave---- -nue for Barry County Luther, of Grand Rapid*, telling of hi* trip by automobile from Grand Rapids to California, whisk will be especially interesting to any BANNER reader who niny be contnmplntiog making a siiniKar trip to tho Pacific Coast.

FILE RATE SCHEDULE Harvester Company Brands Story False TOURING the past month, reports have come to us that at farmers’ meetings -1—' charges have been made, sometimes directly and eometime* indirectly, that this Company has adopted a policy of refusing to supply repair parts for old machines in order to compel the purchase of new ones. This statement is absolutely false. Such a policy has never been considered by this Company nor suggested to it. Ordinarily we ignore such reports, because we have learned that any large company, nd matter how fair and high principled, is subject at all times, to unjust criticism. (The facts are this Company has always recognized the importance of repair service and has used every effort to make IHC service the best. We believe we can truthfully say that the repair service furnished wherever this Company’s goods are sold is equal if not superior to that furnished on any manufactured line. x . . ‘ W* call attention to the fact that machinery “Ftlt-up Weeks," in»tcad of being aomething new and originated by the fanner* in 1921, aa aome seem to think, were really an outgrowth of the movement started by manufacturer* and dealer*’ aaaodationa in connection with the Council of National Delenae aa a war connervation measure. Perhaps no other agency ha* done so much to promote “National Repair Weeks" as thi* Company. • machines can be repaired so as to render efficient and economical service, he would be foolish to purchase new one*. Whether the farmer utilizca and>repair* hl* old machines or buy* new ones i* a question for him to determine. But in making hi* decision, we give to every farmer who own* any IHC machines the assurance that a full stock of repair part* will always be provided by thia Company. ( ■ Today, our repair stocks no the territory available for the farmer* are 21 per Cent greater than ever before at, thia time of the year. ,An average of a quarter million pound* of repair* are shipped from IHC factoriea for every working day in the year. Thirty nitllioA dollar*' worth of repair parts are now ready, as part* flxK and even when furnishing them ha* meant cutting down production of new machines for which we had order*, repair* havp always had preference. At every one of our 91 branch house* trained men are on dutx to aee that all ordera’are filled and 5hipped promptly. Thousand* of dealer* scattered every­ where with an assortment of repair* in stock are always ready and willing to This service which this Company has rendered through the years to those who • have purchased its machines has been a matter of great pride to the Company, We feel It is due the Company and those who have purchased its machines at we give the widest publicity to the fact that this service ot repairs will be aintained and improved, and that any charges to the tontrary are untrue.

Rotary club of this city is uniting with other Rotary clubs iri^feMe-awake cities throughout the United Statesand in Canada^C^uba, Great Britain and many other foreign lands, to celebrate the sixteenth; birthday of this unique organization. Beginning in (ghicagd, in 1905, with one club of only four members, Rotary has now more than 800 clubs with 65,000 members. > % . ROTARY - The Rotary Cfub has come to be known in each local-': ity as a power for good, an example of high standards of ethics and personal character, and a cross-section of the substantial business and professional element of each corilmunity. The remarkablegnowth of Rotary fiSS beenspontaneouSj entirely without the aid of systematic or paid organiza­ tion work, and stands today A Monument to a Big Idea which is gladly accepted by the alert, progressive busi­ ness and professional element of America and the World. Wherever you find a Rotary community, that* Origin community contains a group of men who are earnestly endeavoring to conduct their business and personal ac­ tivities in accordance with a Creed of Right Living. To the Rotarian, community prosperity is more desir­ able than personal profit. His city is ‘‘the best in the 1 country” and his country “the best in the world.” The Rotarian is an all-wool, yard-wide, he-man, who works hard, plays square, and gives with, a smile. He has an eye for a neighbor’s need, a hand trained to help, and a heart for true men, good women and little children. The Rotary Platform Rotary was born February 28, 1905. Four Chicago men, one a lawyer, one a mining operator, the third a coal dealer, and the fourth a tailor, decided op that day to organize a club. These men, drawn together through mutual acquaintance, proposed a series of meetings at their respective places of business. •, - • ■ The Circle soon was enlarged by -representatives from other lines of business so that within a year a membership of fifty was reached. As.the time came for each to act the host, he gave a discourse on his own business So that his guests might learn something worth while regarding it, and thus broaden their own knowl­ edge concerning various businesses outside their own. The name “Rotary” was selected early in the life of the Chicago Club and was suggested by the early meetings which were held in "rotation" at the various members’ places of business. ECOGNIZING tho commercial basis of mod­ em life as a necessary incident in human evolution, the Rotary Club is organized to express that proper relation between p^vate-interesta and the fusion of private interests which con­ stitutes society. To accomplish this purpose more effectively the principle of limited mepibershjp has been adopted, I the Rotary Club consisting of one representative from each distinct lino of business or profession. Each member is benefited by contact with repre­ sentative men engaged .in different occupations and is enabled thereby to meet more intelligently the responsibilities of civic and business life. The basis of club membership insures the repre- * mentation of all interests and* the domination of /none in the consideration of public questions re­ ' lating to business. On account of its limited mem­ bership the.Rotary Club does not constitute itself the voice of the entire community on questions of general importance, but its action on such ques­ tions is of great inilue$M m advancing the civic and business welfare of the community. The Rotary Club demands fair dealings, honest methods, and high ; t.ndards in business. Ntf obli­ gation, actual or implied, to influence business exists in Rotary. Election to membership therein is an expression ef confidence of the f-lub in the member elected, and jf its good will towards him. As his business i: an expression of himself, he is expected actively I represent it. ' Membership in the R >targ Club is a priyi’-sge and ah opportunity ..rd its responsibility cemands honest and efficient erfice and thoughtfulness for one’s feliowc. Service is the basis of all business. Objects ‘ • He profits rrost who serves best - The "objects” of the Rotary Club are to encourage and foster— High ethical standards in business And professions; R Growth Tn 1908, San Francisco, having learned of the Chicago Rotary Club, patterned one aft.ir it. This was in turn rapidly fol­ lowed by others. Eventually, the National Board of Com­ missioners, a delegate body representing fourteen clubs, ar­ ranged the first National Convention. This was held in August, 1910, at Chicago. At that time the term "National Association of Rotary Clubs" was adopted, but a few years later was changed.to “International" in recognition of a Canadian club represented and an application for member­ ship from a club which had been organized in London. Rotary is now established in the British Isles, in Cuba. Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines, China, India, Japan, Panama, Spain, Argentina and Uruguay. . All clubs seeking membership are carefully surveyed to in­ sure proper caliber of personnel and adequate representation of sufficient lines of bu-iiness to justify membership in the In­ ternational Association. I The ideal of Service as the basis df all worthy enterprise; j The active interest of every Rotarian in the civic, com marcJal, social And moral welfare of his community; ' The development of a btoad acquaintanceship as an oppor. tunity for Service, as well as an aid to'success; The interchange of idsai and business methods as a means of increasing the usefulness of Rotarians; The recognition of the worthiness of all legitimate occupa­ tions and the dignifying of the occupation of each Rotarian as affording him an opportunity to serve society. Memberskip . The Rotary Club it* composed of one member from each dis­ tinct line of business or profession, although, occasionally one addltjonal representative from the'same firm is permitted. Such a plan makes for thorough representation by all branches of business, yet prevents an unwieldy number or the domina­ tion of any club by any one business or. profession. Such a membership becomes an ideal forum for the consideration of public or civic questions. It prevents lagging interest, for if a lagger develops fie is dropped from the dlub, and the way is opened for a new and alert member., Contact and, exchange pf ideas with diversified bus|peM in­ terests is broadening in every sense and tends to introduce frewi thought and now viewpoints into every business and profession represented. Summed up, Rotary is man’s humanity t> man at its broadest, biggest and best.' Wher­ ever you see a Rotarian, there you see a i..au who,is earnestly endeavoring, day by day, to learn how to be of greater service to those aboui him, working through the medium of his business, through his social opportunities, and through all established agencies of pub lie service.

MICHIGAN AVE., NORTH HASTINGS, MICHIGAN Making Farm Power History You Are Indebted to This Man Because he discovered a principle which is revolutionizing health sciences everywhere. While, as electricity, the principle is as old as man, the working knowledge of the principle was a lost art to civilized people. Aboriginal peoples on every continent use the principle in one form or another, including our own American Indians. • The principle is this: The subluxation or mis­ alignment of a vertebrae or spinal segment pro­ duces pressure upon the nerves omitting from that region, and interferes with the transmission of mental impulses or nerve energy from the brain to the organ, tissues or cells supplied' by these nerves. ' v kf The principle was revealed to D. D. Palmer accidentally. His janitor was deaf. Dr. Palmer found a spinal segment out of alignment. He thrust it into place. Harvey Lillard's hearing was restored. This was in the month of September, 1805. Since the first Titah went out to the fields five years ago, the farming world has invested over seventy million dollars in Titan tractors. This is a record approached by no other 3-plow tractor. During those sixty signifi­ cant months of power history, countless experiments have risen and fallen, but Titan has advanced.on a basis of practical design and workmanship to a success acknowledged the world around. . • - A. Entering into 1921 we have effected arrangements which include pro­ vision for time payment and price reduction guarantees in the sale of Titan tractors. Titan owners are benefiitting by this assistance and safeguard dur­ ing the present period of uncertainty. . Farmers who believe in plain drawbar and belt power work that wilF^ cut further the costs of farming will use a Titan tractor. We will be pleased to give you full details relative to the whole proposi­ tion of buying a Titan tractor. .Always bear in mind the service we render. The next article will tell you of the development of this principle into a science. ■F. C.

It is this condition that is creating tbe present deadlock.

The millions of Europe who for many months have been deprived of milk in particular— and proper food in general—aro soon coming into their own and in our judgment-there will be an almost unprecedented demand for milk jri all its manufactured forms. In our judgment the farmers that get into the milk producing business while the getting h good and who keep up the standard of their herds will be wise—and when the present con­ ditions change as they are sure to do sooji, they will be in a position to meet the demand for milk which is and always has been one of thp world’s most needed foods.

Every month during the winter (quiet) season, we have sold more than our allotment of cars and had it not been that we had opportunity to secure a few cars from other dealers we could not have filled our orders. We no longer look for spring—it is here, and in a few days you will want to drive—and with every car taken Almost as soon as it arrives some one is sure to have to wait when the usual spring rush for cars gets fully under way. We receive only a limited number each month and no chance of getting any extras at this time of year, so if you have any desire.to have a new Ford this spring we.urge you to place your order now or else prepare to be a long • time on the “waiting list."

LETS TALK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH YOUR TRUE BENEFACTOR is one who contributes something to the wel­ fare of yourself or loved ones. B. J. Palmer, the only living son of the Dis­ coverer of Chiropractic, determined that the principle should not remain a family secret His father waa old, so he assumed the burden of establishing an institution for the teachng of the Chiropractic fundamentals. But before this could be done he had to cor­ relate these truths into a science. Aftor years of research hia clinical deductions enabled him to present the ideas with a distinct terminology and nomenclature. THUS WAS BORN THE ART, SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY OF CHIROPRAC­ TIC. .

RUSS & SON PHONE 2216 HASTINGS m MICHIGAN Wasting Gas Is Burning Money HOW TO REDUCE YOUR GAS BILLS DON’T Don’t use the giant burner when a smaller one will do. ’ Don’t light burners on your gas range until you have food ready to cook. Don’t allow a burner to remain lighted with­ out being used. Don’t heat a kettle full of water when you only want a quart. Don’t use the ovens on your Gas Range for a storage place—it rusts the oven. Don’t partly turn off gas cock at meter. It does not save gas. It lessens the pres­ ' sure and interferes with good service. Don’t use gas for hqating unless you know the probable cost. y Don’t expect to use gas efficiently in an old, w'ornoul Gas Range, or one with the . burners out of adjustment. Don’t purchase from strangers so-called gas saving device^ without first asking us as to their value. DO Use Gas only when it benefits you. ’ Whenever possible use the smaller burners in place of the larger ones. v Remember that Gas is not hotter ten minutes after it is lighted than the instant it is lighted. Turn out Gas and relight it in case there is an interval when the Gas is not needed. Matches are cheaper than Gas. Keep burners of Gas Range clean by wash- . ing them in boiling water and soda at least once a month and have them dry before using; doing this will save Gas. Have meter reader leave the reading of your meter each month and figure your own Gas Bill—but better yet—learn to read your own Gas meter and read it often. Fill up your oven—do not bake just one . thing at a time. Plan for a whole meal. The Average Ga» Used by Stove Burners:— Broiler burners __-------- u-1—------------------------- 50 cu. ft. per hour.

Thxe "something” that sustains life is generated in the brain. . This energy is transmitted over the spinal cord and nerves to all parts of the body. The nerves leave the spinal column through small openings between surfaces of the vertebrae, . or spinal segments. . Pressure upon any of these nerves is produced when the vertebrae become ou£ of normal position. This pressure diminishes the amount of energy, or mental impulses, carried over the nerves pressed upon. The organs, tissues or parts supplied by the particular nerve or nerves upon which the pressure Is produced suffer because of the decrease in this vital energf. From lack of this essential energy disease develops. Therefore, disease is caused primarily by subluxated vertebrae producing - pressure upon nerves as they leave the spine, diminishing the normal supply of vital energy, or mental impulses. We have never had enough fertilizer on hand to supply the needs of’all ’our fanner customers but when we bought for this season we took that into , consideration and bought more than ever before. However, we advise that you see us at once and place your order for your requirements so that you will be sure of what you want and the analysis you want. .We have just received our new prices and while we think we will be able to fill all orders for “HOMESTEAD," we suggest that you see us at once,'or phone us the amount you think you will need. . /3 During these times when every acre should be made to produce the max­ imum crop, farmers cannot afford to without the best fertilizers and plenty of them. . , ■ . SELECT YOUR FIELD SEEDS NOW • Our line of field seeds including June, Mammoth, Red Clover, Alsike, Alfalfa and Timothy is very complete and now is the^ime to get your seeds home so you will be supplied when the seeding time comes. All these seeds have the highest test and germination. , . The Chiropractor adjusts these vertebrae by hand to normal position, removing the pressure and allowing the normal amount of vjta! energy to be transmitted. This accomplished, healtMs.restored. J The proof of these statements will follow in the remaining advertisements in this series, the fifth of which wllf be publisbed next. j ' K. •. / f. . t ' ‘hinkley’d. c.

A*t 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 dr eaten until after 8:00 o'clock in the afternoon of Good Friday. ' . „ , These Hot Cross Buns were a delicious, palatable morsel, made of the richest, highest grade materials that could be secured.

Do you know that when an organ functions abnormally, it is expressing only a part of the life which it shoukftenjoy? Have you ever considered that this" loss of the full expression of life is a thing upon which no value can be placed? When wo think of the matter seri­ ously, this is our conclusion, yet daily we jeopardize our lives and place ourselves in. conditions where we cannot possibly enjoy the maximum expression of vitality. This condition wherein life.is only partly expressed is due to an inability of the nervous system to properly function. It cannot express the maximum vitality be­ cause pressure exists on some of its nerve trunks. What is the logical thing to do? Should we take into the body drugs, many of which are deadly poisons, in order to produce certain chemical actions which are not normal to the body? Were we so con­ structed by the Creator that it is necessary to add something from without in order to maintain health? Of course foods are necessary; air is necessary; light is essen1 tial, but these are things for which we have an innate (inborn) desire. We have no j desire for the nauseating concoctions of drugs. Isn’t it more logical to remove the । pressure existing on nerve trunks, thus permitting the full expression of life in the tissue cells?

Owing to this fact, we are in a position as never before, to' make a ready disposal of all the product we are able to manufacture, with refined cocoanut oil > and skim milk we manufacture an evaporated milk compound that is highly nutritious. With the great demand for thi* product it is utterly im­ possible for us at the pssfent time to fill the or­ ders. As stated above," the surplus here is taken care of By Grand Ledge for the reason that it has never been large enough to warrant the installa­ tion of canning machinery. However, with the outlet we have for our product we are very anx­ ious that the supply of milk in this community shall be greatly increased. We are desirous of making a fully equipped condensary out of our ’ plaht located here which can be done when the production of milk will warrant it. ^We are anxious that the farmers of this com­ * munity shall make dairying a business. We be­ lieve an investigation of what dairying' has done for the farmers of our Dairy States*will prove the assertion that it is the most profitable line of farming our patrons can follow K Yours very truly, Arctic Ice Cream Company Cpndensing Division Hastings, Michigan ; �s Tho kUneIiob of a county nt bora ma4o-^Mi« Bmh Dwinell, A county nujw i Visit every homo in ihoro is rieknas*. 11 sic al imporelbHity. work ia'to aid pres •uro i>t disca*>.

No service performed by thi* Company is more im­ portant, more essential or more far-reaching than the work it i» doing to keep the machinery of the world running smoothly and efficiently. . Of the many lubricating oil* and grease* sent out under iu name, none is more widely known or more univer­ sally accepted than those bearing the Polarine brand*. Polarine is a perfect motor oil. It wa* fir*t introduced to the motoring world in 1908 when 1100 gallon* were •old. Year by year the demand ha* increased until in 1920, 23,979,050 gallon* were manufactured and sold to the car owner* in the Middle Wett. When first introduced there was but one grade of Polarine oil. Now there are four, each designed to meet the need of certain types of engine*. From the flying tpindlet of the loom to the ponderou* bearing* of the steel roller, each problem presented ha* been met squarely, fairly and with a deep understanding that to meet ia need* wa* not only good business, but wa* essential if the Company wa* to live up to the ideal* of service to which it i* committed. While lubricating the wheel* of the world i* highly essential, it is but one of the many branches of service which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is organ­ ized to perform. . In every department of iu complex and highly special­ ized business, the same ideal* of thoroughness, integ­ rity and efficiency are insisted upon.

CHIBOPBACTOB । What ■ The trouble is that consumers are not buying any coal, and for that reason the dealers are not buying. The result is that 175,000 freight cars are standing idle on the true Id, and the mines are not producing coal to load, them. It's a -situation that should have the immediate attention of coal consumers, dealers, operators, railway officers ahd the Interstate Commerce Commission. We have all heard a lot of propaganda in the past because railroads could not handle coal when people wanted it. Now the railroads have 175,000 idle freight cars and would like to have them all loaded with coal, so that they would have something for those idle canj to do—BUT NO ONE IS ORDERING COAL. The 1*75,000 cars are idle; the mines are literally stuffed with coal and no place to ship it The mines are therefore closing down or greatly curtailing production until they can move some of this surplus slock. ' .\ .J;< •You can see that this is an unhealthy condition. It means that later, when the DEMAND conies, people may pay more for their coal than it is worth, unless an early-buying movement is started. . EVANGELISTS Billy Sunday. 108 State Street In view of the mild winter we have just passed through, the above statement may seem impossible. But according to the U. S. Geologic Survey report, here is the exact situation: We use in this cquntry about 525 millions of tons of coal each year, and fight now we are producing about 30 millions of tons per month. That is going to leave a big shortage, when the heavy demand comes during-the cold months of next Fall. When the demand is larger than the supply PRICES GO UP always. ? -u»lA«Lx Phone 2488 Consultation and Spinal Analyau Without Charge or OWfaAetoi 2118 V, HASTINGS, MICH. �im nromuTriran 7. nA' Mr. and Mra.

The whole lumber market is in a “respon­ sive” condition and will advance in the face of any considerable demand. Now is the time to arrange for the construction of your new home or buildings. In this coun­ try two million new homes are needed *o properly house our people, due to the stoppage of construction during the war, and the inflated prices following the armistice. Now conditions have righted themselves. Lumber, building materials, paints, oils, everything connected with building is down to a pre-war level. If you are going to do any building or repairing now is a good time to make your plans for it. If the neA homes needed in this country were started this year, it would start things on the up grade for a period of prosperity that would be beneficial to all. This is a “Buyers' Market."

Young pigs are subject to ninny diseases and have little stamina th withstand them. Pneumonia is one of them. Tl* pigs that were littered In the early spring and were not housed in Avcnther-proof, uell-venUInted nnd warm quarters had and still • have Utile chance of reaching ma­ turity. . It wav with these facta In rnlnd that the modern hog house was di-slgned. And la passing It wight be said that no typo of farm building lias been given more attention in the agricul­ tural colleges than hog houses. The modem hog house Is a well constructed building. It usually Is set on a concrete foundation, with a con­ crete floor. The side walla are weath­ er-tight. nnd the roof Is designed so that'S maximum of sunlight can reach the pens on both sides of the building. Also some system of ventilation, either through the roof or by the suction ven­ tilators that are used on every modern dairy bam. Is provided. Half of the floors, whether they lie of concrete or cladera, . ure covered with heavy board*, raised slightly above the ground. On this half floor there I* placed plenty of bedding, so that the young pigs will be kept dry—with em­ phasis on "dry"—and warm. When tlie farm has such a hog house, the rows farrow in early sgulng and again in the fall, which Is as' na­ ture intended. Irtte February pigs are kept In the warm, sunny home, and get tlie start that makes them healthy and strong when they are weaned and ready for the paature in spring. There they develop rapidly and n.:e of mar­ ketable elm when there Is small sup­ ply and better prices.

In Rome, under the etnperoro, gambling prevailed <n<u.Italy. Augustus and most of the mreceding sovereigns were pusslouatcly fond of the dice, nnd the Emperor Claudlua wrote a book on tbe subject, a Roman would transport to a gambling resort bis wbole fortune —coins. • pnpm and chattels—and. after losing all, would even seize the cloaks of hl. slaves to stake on a change of luck.

They aro just about the hard­ iest of all domestic fowls, ahd per­ haps also the- greatest bustiers, yet they seldom dp their hustling to the In­ jury ot *tho garden or lawn. While quite domestic in their habits If treatcd gently, their wild nature leads them to remote parts ot tho homestead, where they pick up a large part of their living that would bo overlooked bjn any Wther kind of fowl. On -farms Infested, with hawks, guineas are very valuable, their .vigor­ ous protests against every approach of tho foe actually frighten them away.

If this is true, and we believe it is, then how important it is that our children—the njen and women of "Torjjorrow”—are taught the great habit of "Thrift" imd "Saving so that later in life when they shall be left upon their own resources they will KNOW HOW to economize, KNOW HOW to lay away a few dollars, KNOW HOW to take care of themselves and not come to want.

Was the Admonition of Socrates, the . Greatest Philosopher In the picture to your left notice the backbone, or ipinal column. You are enabled to walk upright by :his important structure. Through the center of lhese spinal segments runs the most delicate tissue in your body, excepting the brain. However, this serve cable is but a continuation of the brain. The reading glass shows how this nerve cable branches off from the spine on its way to every orgran, tissue and cell in the body. On either aide of rhe spine and between each* two segments, or vertebrae, a nerve is given off which carries the life cur­ rent to the parts of the body which it supplies. What’s The Trouble ’ When the segments between which the nerves pass get out of alignment, due to twisting, falling, strain­ ing, etc., the hard, bony structure presses upon or pinches these delicate nerves. This pressure dimin- • ishes the nerve current just as the flow of water is diminished when you step on the hose. HERE IS THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF 95-*, OF ALL DISEASE!

The result is that 175,000 freight cars are standing idle on the tracks, and the mines are not producing coal to load them. It’s a situation that should have the immediate attention of coal consumers, dealers, openators, railway officers and the Interstate Commerce Commission. We have all heard a lot of, propagandain tho past because railroads could not handle coal when people wanted it. Now the railroads have. 175,000 idle freight cars and would like to have them all loaded with coal, so that they would have something for those idle cars to do—BUT NO ONE IS ORDERING COAL. The 175,000 cars are idle; the mines are literally stuffed with coal and no place to ship it* The mines are therefore closing down or greatly curtailing production until they can move t$pme of this surplus stock. you can see that this is an unhealthy condition. It means that later, when the DEMAND comes, people may pay more for their cpal than it is worth, unless an early-buyipg movement ia started. it. Coal now is at its lowest level. Many people cap afford to BUY NOW, and it is a business proposition to do No on? wants to see such wild, run-away markets-as we have had in the'past. REY U.

That is going to leave a big shortage, when the heavy demand comes during the-cold months of next Fall. When the demand is larger than the supply PRICES GO UP always. �APRIL H.

Such a habit formed it) childhood brings satisfac­ tion and comfort, hot 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 trua, and we believe it is, then how important.it is that our children—th«; men and women of "Tomorrow".—are taught the great habit of "Thrift" and "Saving" so that later in life when they shall be left upon their own resources they will KNOW HOW tri economize, KNOW HOW to lay away a few dollars, KNOW HOW to take care of themselves and not come to want. Hundreds of young ipen and women are having a hard time to get "Anywhere," because they do not KNOW HOW to lay away part of what they earn each week.

The Reason “Why” In view o£ the mild winter we have just passed through, the above statement may seem impossible. But according to the U. S. Geologic Survey report, here is the exact situation; We use in this country about 525 millions of tons of coal each year, and right now we are producing about 30 millions of tons per month. That is going to leave a big shortage, when the heavy demand comes during the cold months of next Fall. When the demand is larger than the supply PRICES GO. UP always. . Z' - What’s The Trouble The trouble is that consumers are not buying’any coal, and for that reason the dealers are not buying. The result is that 175,000 freight cars are standing idle on the tracks, and the mines are not producing coal to load them. It’s a situation that should have the immediate attention of cual consumers, dealers, operators, railway officers and the Interstate Commerce Commission. W.e have al! heard a lot of propaganda..In the past because railroad could not handle coal when .people wanted it. Now the railroads have 175,000 idle freight cars and would like to have them all loaded with coal, so that they would have something for those idle cars to do—Bu f NO ONE IB ORDERING COAL. The 175,000 ears are Mie; the mines are literally stuffed with coal and no place to ship it. The mines are therefore closing down or greatly curtailing production until they can move some of this surplus stock. ’ ’ t x You can see that this is an unhealthy condition.- It means that later, when the DEMAND comes, people may pair more for their coal than it is worth, unless an early-buying movement is started. ' Coal now is at its lowest level.’ Many, people can afford to BUY’ NOW, and it is a business proposition to do it No one wants to see such wild, run-away markets as we haverhad in the past Let Nature Get Her Forces To Every Part of the Body And Health Will Result!

Officer* ROM the Chairman of the Board of Directort to the man who sells you Rad Crown dt a Standard Oil Service Station, the entire personnel of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) consti­ tutes a Democracy of Merit. F When there are vacancies on the Board of Directors, which occur from time to time, tire men chosen to fill them are taken from the ranks. They are men who haye proved their value to the Company and their ability to be of service to the customers of the Company. Where the Company comes in contact with the customer, there are other men who have proved their worth. The operator in charge of the Standard Oil Service Station is on the jbb not because he happened along when the station was ready to open, but because after careful, painstaking consideration he was selected as the best man obtainable to serve the public in that particular position. iSi ffii The high quality of Standard Oil products and service is due to the loyal enthusiasm of the employes. The Company’s policy of rewarding special endeavor promotes this enthusiasm. Many of the processes of value to the Company, the public, and the petroleum industry generally, have been evolved by Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employes, working with the facilities afforded by this organization. . . When you buy Red Crown Gasoline, Polar­ ine, or any other product bearing the brand of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) you are receiving the fruits of this enthusiasm, and may rest assured that you are getting the utmost value for the money, you spend. Red Crown is the highest type motor gasoline. Polarine lubricants are the result of infinitely careful adaptation ofthe principles of lubri­ cation to the various kinds of motors and motor parts for which these lubricants are Standard Oil Company Vatoxa): 010 Sa Michigan Ave., Chicago . .

Lot us give him liberally all the good that we can; and wisely adapt Jo our own use all tho good which he can give us.” As an illustration of what judicious co-opehttloa means, Mra. Alvord spoke of what had been accomplished by tho women’s clubs in Detroit, when they essayed to food the children of the un­ employed. Bo soon as the movunent was organized, no less that 7,000 chil­ dren received rations daily from thefederated dubs; Then th'e Catholic women of tho tity followed the exam­ ple, and soon there were in addition 3,000 poor children dally receiving food supplies In tho ritpchial schools of tho city. When science was brought to tear upon tho problem of providing children with nutritious food, certain rieh families of Detroit found themsel­ ves in aa amusing cmbnrraraMat. For, in many eases, the littlo nous and daughters from wealthy bomte, brought back from sehool for their parents* in- Ihey were rated as undernourished. At their opulent homes, they had been giv­ en palatable food, and in ' abundant quantity. But, owing to a generally prevailing ignorance of food-vain**, it was too frequently ill chosen for tho purpose of strength building; and tho children of prosperous and indulgent families wore found in tho ollnics to bo as ‘'under-nourished” as were tho chil­ dren of destitute homes. To sum up,—service.and not willed asthcticism, was the <<senilal interest of women’s clubs ns the president of the Federation made it poignantly plain. Mr*.

You ponder the reason why the stars do not come crashing down upon you; yoir wonder why the earth has never gone out of its course and been seared by the scorch­ ing rays of the sun; you marvel at the fact that a tiny seed can develop into a giant tree. And you know that' this same Universal Intelligence has developed you. You know that before you were a minute old this same Intelligence had assumed control of every function of your body. The intelligence within you—your Innate Intelligence —caused you to breathe, your heart to beat, your blood to circulate, your stomach to digest, your tissues to assimilate, long before you were conscious of a single thing. THIS SAME INTELLIGENCE HEALS YOUR WOUNDS, KNITS YOUR BONES IF THEY BECOME BROKEN, AND OVERCOMES YOUR WEARINESS BY.SLEEP. All of the health you have is due to the ministrations of this great natural force. All of the ills you suffer from are yours because you deny this vital force admission to the parta x affected, for it functions over the nerves and your peglect hinders its transmission. Carelessness, or accident, has caused bones to press upon these nerves, decreasing the flow of this energy. For surely you do not deny* that tha intelligence which created every part of your body can keep those parts func­ tioning perfectly when it can get to those parts, do you? The next, or tenth, article in this series' will explain how this Intelligence operates through your brain and the cables or nerves which lead directly from your brain to every part of your body. - . t, j )08 State St .

WHEN BgmB AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT,’ BUICK WILL BUILD THEM More Price Reductions by Harvester Company Entire Line of Implements Now at Lower Prices In view of the recent reduction in the price of steel, we now announce lower prices for our entire line of farm machines and implements nor covered by reductions previously announced. All lower prices take effect at once T THE giant factory of the'Nash Motors Company, Kenosha, ' Wisconsin, thousands of tracks, have been produced. These j ■' trucksTiave been placed in sendee in alriiost every known'indus­ try throughout "the world, a great quantity of them having been used by this' Government and its Allies for military purposes. They are now in Use in twenty-tbree (foreign countries’? In every industry in which the Nash Truck is used, it has earned the reputation of a reliable truck, capable of unusual performance. A he Nash Truck has a reputation in. twenty-three different nations 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 has been eritirely satisfactory. S ., The reduction in the pripe of steel comes after all the material' for the'machines and implements we wilj sell this year has been provided, end will there­ fore have no bearing on the manufacturing costs qf such machines. However, it does enable the, Com­ pany to buy materials at lower prices for future manufacture, and in Accordance with our an* nqunced policy we now quote those prices, the Company taking the lose on machines already fin­ ished and materials on hand. Full information regaiding our lower prices on binders,tnowers, arid all other harvesting, haying and corp machines, tillage implements, tractors, engines, and all other IH C farm machines can be obtained llQm any International Dealer. . ,* Keeing roads in proper repair .h work in which the Nash has been ’■ftiynd invaluable. .There are nearly 100 Nash Trucks-fn operation ia Barry County, and in every line of work they have/proven entirely satisfactory? In road work they aro performing evpry service, required of them. Thc hauling of heavy‘loads and doing the work rapidly has made the Nash a leader. * - U-. Work on road maintenance usually has to be done during the good ponths of the year when the ground is soft and in proper condition for working easily. For this reason teams are slow,-more expensive, and much less satisfactory than the "Nash in this class of work. The ability of the Nash Truck to haul needed supplies from nearby towns to the scene of operations; regardless of road conditions, is another point in its favor in this service. We want you to know qiore about this powerful truck. CdOL & DOOLEY SALES CO. F . INTERNATIQNAL HARVESTER COMPANY Chicago °J^!S!£A -USA-.' .

BURNETT Dry Cleuer reeport State Bank । Under Vickery’s Drug Store FREEPORT, MICHIGAN AeWt >s Ai i iTi ss siVnsi H i sh sMHft s » WHY THE 30 CENT .We have been asked why this Company deemed it necessary to levy a aim to answer it frankly, and it is a question that every member of this C this Company, and everyone thinking of taking out W indstorm insurance Our Condition Jan. 1st, 1920 At the dose of business, Dec. 31. 1919. this Company had about $100,000 cash on hand: In 1920 we levied an assessment of 20 cents on each $100 insured, which brought us in a little\>ver $340,000. Our balance on hand of $100,­ 000 and the $340,000 brought in from the assessment, would make a total of practically $440,000. We thought, from our past experience, that this would be sufficient to pay all of our losses and expenses for the year of 1920, and would probably leave us with a good balance. * But the year of 1920 was by far the hardest one that this Company ever experienced. It will bo remembered that two cyclones swept across tho State ON THE SAME DAY, leaving paths of'ruin and destruction in their wakes. Our Losses for 1920 Were Over a Half Million Dollars-$564,149.84 To Be Exact , . Our losses lor 1920 wero-oyer a HALF MILLION DOL­ LARS—$564,149.84, to b“ exact. ..In addition to this was the expense of adjusting these losses, amounting to $24,­ 628.37. Interest on borrowed money cost us $10,000.00. In addition to all this was the new etjuipmeht, and the extra clerk hire we had to have in order to care f6r the $85,000,­ 000 ,new insurance we •rote. and to look after the large losses we sustained. Aqd still in addition to ail .this was oiih regular office, and cl&cal expense. Jan.. 1st, 1921, ’We Owed $223,000 Due to Our Heavy Losses ‘ We closed the .veal* ir of 1920 with a deficit of about $223X>00, which of itsejIf is equivalent to nearly 10 cents on each $100 insured in our Company. Now what was the WISE thing to do; whsit was the BUSINESS thing to do? 'TFou don’t want’to earnry your insurance .in a Company where if you meet with Il<vs you cannot get your insurance within a reasonable t<mde. after you meet with a loss. When you meet with a loss ylbn want to be in a Company that will PAY YOU, and thdey ahould pay you IN FULL, up to the amount of your polUicy, jnst arf Boon as your loss can be ADJUSTED. After catreful deliberation the Directon of this Company decided thhat.it would be h G0k)D BUSINESS POLICY to levy an a.-«JiQMHnent of 30 cerite on each $100 insured; This enabled I u* to pay off our indebtedness of $923,000, and also left 1us with a nice balance of cas|r on handi which we should Jhave at the beginning of e^ch year. Above are tKe reasons 1WHY we levied the assessment of 30 cents on each $ifl00 insured. It was the &IQHT MICHIGAN MUTUAL W| HALE Pre*. one and we will every member of M. F. ANDI thing to do: it was the BUSINESS thing to do. • This Com­ pany, has grown so large that it CANNOT AFFORD to go into'a new year without a good sized balance of cash on , " hand. This Company Is in the Best Condition It Was Ever in RIGHT NOW We’ve paid our deficit and have over $335,000 in cash deposited in many of the banks of this state and it’s DRAW­ ING INTEREST. But what our losses will be NO M Aft CAN TELL. The ONLY thing, and the BEST thinp. that we can do is to BE PREPARED for what may come—and we are prepared. We are in the BEST condition financially, RIGHT NOW, that we have ever been in, and in reaching thia condition we have had nothing but the best interests of thia Company, and its members' at heart. Our books are audited regularly; we are under the jurisdiction of ths State Insurance Dept, of Michigan; we have Wen compli­ mented many times for the excellent system we have in­ stalled for looking after our business, and no Company of this kind haa a-better one; and for a Company of its size, this second largest of its kind in the world, it is very con­ servatively managed. t Watch for our advertisement next week.

COMPANY If you were to have two asphalt shingles placed before you, it would probably be impossible to tell from appearances which one was the best. The average man .would have a hard time trying to decide which shingle would last longest and would eventually cost the least. But—no need to puzzle if one of the two was a Reynolds, you’d ask your friend and neighbor. * There are undoubtedly roofs covered with Reynolds Shingles n<*ar your home. Your neighbor will be glad to tell you how well this beauti­ ful and most durable roof covering has served him. * Reynolds Shingles have given exceptional service on roofs for nearly twenty yeftrs and. are still.inJthe best condition. These shingles are tested by time, and they have been on roofs nearly ten years longer than any other asphalt shingle has been in existence. When you are ready for the new roof be certain that yon obtain the genuine Reynolds Shingles. No other shingles have proved their wearing qualities like Reynolds. They are also Fire-Safe and will re­ duce your insurance rate. , Mra. John Cnstelcin -peat tho latter Kot bat week with h»r »unt, Mn. iy Winkler, living! near Battle Croak. Mra.

But according to the U. S.

The result is that 175,000 freight cars are 'standing idle on the tracks, and the mines are not producing coal to load them. It’s a situation that should1 have the immediate attention of. coal consumers, dealers, operators, rail- ' way officers and the Interstate Commerce Commission. We have-all heard a lot of propaganda in the past because railroad* could not handle coal when people wanted it. Now the railroads have 175,000 idle freight cars and would like to have them all loaded with coal, so that they 'would have something for those idle cars to do—BUT NO ONE IS ORDERING COAL. The 175,000 care are Idle; the mines are literally stuffed with coal arfd no place to ship it The mines are therefore closing down or greatly curtailing production until they can move some of this kurplus stock.

There are others who do know arid take no steps to improve the conditions. The season, of fruit bloom is at hand and in a few<days the trees will be a mass of,beauty.—Then is the vital period—Millions of buds and blbsaOms will be destroyed by destructive little insects and the fruit crop lost or badly damaged unless' these insects are killed.

Throughout ten important Middle Western States, tlie Standard Oil Company (Indiana) .serves the drivers of these machines. Not only does it provide them with Red Grown, the high-grade gasoline, and with Polarine, the perfect motor oil, but it furnishes the road oil and asphalt which surfaces hundreds of miles of the best roads in the country as well. Roads msde with Sttnolind Psving Asphalt make riding-eaay and smooth, and by eliminating the nits and dust it also keeps down the upkeep cost of car, and clothing, arid enables the motorist to get the utmost ofpieasurcfromhismachsae.

The Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company has 1st—79,000 members. 2nd—$247,000,000 assessable insurance. 3rd—Over $335,000.00 cash in the bank and DRAWING INTEREST. 4th—ALL adjusted claims and debts PAID. 5th—It is conservatively managed. 6th—NO COMPANY has a better system for looking after its business. 7thP~The books of this Company are audited regularly; we are under the jurisdiction of’ the Michigan State Insurance De­ partment. 8th—This Company is no experiment, and has back of it 36 YEARS of success, adjust­ ing and paying its losses FULLY and PROMPTLY. • Total Losses Paid In 36 Years By This Company - - - $1,745,685.52 Total Losses Paid In Last Ten Years By This Company - $1,491,148.84 Total Losses Paid By This Company Last Year (1920) - $564,149.84 From the above figures you can see that losses from Windstorms have been increasing rapidly in Michigan. The above figures, taken frdm our books, show that during the first 26 YEARS the entire losses paid by this Company amounted to only $254,536.68, or an average of less than $ 10,000 EACH YEAR. ■ During the last 10 YEARS this Company paid losses amounting to $ 1,491,148.84, or an average of MORE than $149,000 EACH YEAR. ' \ During the year of 1920 this Company was hit hard as the result of Windstorms and PAID $564,­ 149.84 in losses, h, short, DURING 1920 this Company PAID IN LOSSES ALMOST ONE-THIRD AS MUCH AS HAS BEEN-PAID IN ITS WHOLE 36 YEARS OF EXISTENCE. ' These figures should convince you that Windstor ms are increasing in numbers and severity in Michi­ gan. and that it^vill PAY Y.OU to join tins long established Company, with its record of 36 YEARS of PAYING ITS LOSSES IN FULL, and giving its members what they pay for—“PROTECTION AND A SQUARE DEAL.” * MICHIGAN MUTUAL WINDSTORM INSURANCE CO.

The RooLThat Grows More Beautiful With Ag< If you were to have two asphalt shingles placed before you, it would probably be impossible to tell from appearances which one was the best. The average man would have a hard time trying to decide which shingle would last longest and would eventually cost the least. But—no need to puzzle if one of the two was a Reynolds, you’d ask your friend and neighbor. , There are undoubtedly roofs covered with Reynolds Shingles near yyur home. Your neighbor will be glad to tell you how well this beauti­ ful nnd most durable roof covering has served him. The beat proof that the design is correct lies in the fact that the Model E has been in use for five years,\ during which period the only way found to make it better was a lengthening of the wheelbase. Nearly twenty-five thou­ sand of this model are now in use, Reo being the largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles. : . PHONE ,24a FOR A DEMONSTRATION.

For Nature—the Univer­ sal Intelligence which created you—is a wonderful architect. Those graceful curves are in your spine (if it 1* a nor­ mal spine) to support the weight of your entire body whenever called upon to do so. Without your spine you could not exist, yet few people ever realise that they possess this necessary rtruc- The lines indicate the parts supplied by tbo nerves which leave the spine through the Uttle holes shown in the picture. When these individual seg­ ments get out of position tho little win­ dows have a tendency to close, causing velops. j When the Chiropractor with bls bare bands adjusts those vertebrae, or spinal segments, back to their normal posi­ tion by a quick, skillful. painless thrust, th)* pressure of the Uttle bones on the nerves is removed: the vital energy Is uonnally tranrmlttcd and health result*. This la a statement of fact. The Chiro­ practor proves the fact by actually ac­ complishing the result over and over again in his office. Tho next article /number thirteen) in thi» serie* »i|l show you the exact process whieh occurs to produce.a sub­ luxation, pinching the »piual nerve. In view of the mild winter we have just passed through; the above statement may seem impossible. But according to the U. S. Geologic Survey report, here is the exact situation: We use in this coyntry about 525 millions of tons of coal each'year, and right now we are producing about 30 millions of tons per month. That is going to leave a big shortage, when the heavy demand cqmes during the cold months of next Fall. When the demand is larger than the supply PRICES GO UP always. . What 108 State St Phone 2483 Consultation and Spinal Analysis WiUiout Charge or Obligation The Trouble The trouble is that consumers are not buying any coal, and for that reason the (feelers are not buying. -.The ♦ hem. It's a situation that should have the immediate attention of coal consumers, dealers, operators, rail­ way officers and the Interstate Commprce Commission. We have all heard a lot of propaganda in the past because railroads could not handle coal when people wanted it. Now the railroads have 175,000 idle.freight cars and would like to have them alldoadcd with coal, so that they would have something for those idle cars to do—BUT NO ONE IS ORDERING COAL. The 175,000 cars ve idle; the mines are literally stuffed with coal and no place to ship it The mines are therefore closing down or greatly curtailing production until they can move sopie of this surplus sto$k. . ■ You can see that this is an unhealthy condition. It means that later, when the DEMAND comes, people, may pay more fortheir coal than it is worth unless an early-buying movement is started. x Coal now is at its lowest level. Many people can afford to BUY NOW, and it is a business proposition to do it/. No one wants to see such wild, run-away markets as we have had in the past CAREY Ik EDMONDS • W!

This is an advantage to EVERY POLICY HOLDER in this Company, because it minimizes the liability of losses in any one community. At the same time, if you should meet with loss it means that there are about 80,000 people in the state who would -help pay your loss. Any small Windstorm Insurance Company naturally has to have its insurance risks quite largely (^entered in one or more localities. If a cyclone should sweep through that section, as may happen any day, it would mean nothing else than an outrageously high assessment on every policy holder to MEET THAT LOSS; Have you ever thought about that? As our business grows; as any its expense MUST -grow., # P**r _ . business grows; business today is well on towards DOUBLE what it was ONLY FOUR YEARS ago. 0ur large losses of OVER A HALF MILLION DOLLARS last year entailed much additional expense that could not possibly be avoided, one of the single items alone being about $ 10,000, interest on money we had to borrow to meet our losses. This Company is HONESTLY and CONSERVATIVELY managed. Its sys­ tem of looking after the details of 80,000 members and 250 MILLION of insurance has been highly complimented.

During the last 10 'years they averaged over $ 149,000 each year, and last year reached the huge sum of $564,000, an unprece­ dented loss for any Michigan company insuring against Windstorms.

Yet many who devote a lifetime to accumulating an estate risk it all by appointing as executor someone on the score of friendship, not fitness. When, you are gone it is more important than ever that your estate be carefully managed for the benefit of your heirs.

' ' Beauty— and kitchen floors;. are tpending the week in latke View Kitchen floors, gleaming with soft lustre and immaculate beauty are quite possible if you coat your linoleum with FLOORENE, the durable varnish. > , FLOORENE brightens up your kitchen, makes it a glad place to cook in. And in your bathroom, it gives to thnt dean, after-the-bath feeling just twice as much zest. 1 Linoleum coated with FLOORENE wears longer khan you ever thought it could wear. And the pattern, refreshed by the dear, durable varnish, has new life, and retains its color for many more seasons.

Our Regular and Complete Line If you were to have-two asphalt shingles placed before you, it would probably be impossible to tell from appearances which one was the best. The average man would have*a hard time trying to decide, which shingle would last longest and would eventually cost the least. - Rut—no need to puzzle if one of the two was a Reynolds, you’d ask your friend and neighbor. There are undoubtedly roofs covered with Reynolds Shingles near your home. Your neighbor will be glad to tell you how well this-beautiful and most durable roof covering has served him. -. ■ Reynolds Shingles have given exceptional service on roofs for nearly twenty years and are still in the best condition. These shingles p.rp tested by time, and they have been on roofs nearb’ ten,years longer than any other asphalt shingle has been in existence. When you are ready for the new roof be certain that you'obtain ’the genuine Reynolds Shingles. No other shingles have proved tfieir wearing qualities like Reynolds. They are also Fire-Safe and will re­ duce your insurance rate. Price unsupported by value never is an advantage to any but the man who sells to make a quick “clean-up” and quit.

The output mounted daily; May 12th brought forth 4092,The greatest number that have been produced in one day so far this year. Since the month has'25 working'days, present indications point to a new high record. ’ • ,' ' A comparison of Ford production figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses the fact.that for April, 1921, the output was greater by 34,514 than fbr the corresponding month of a year ago. The output fpr May, 1921, wilTprobably overshadow May, 1920, by between fifteeii and twenty thousana cars and trucks. Approximately 43,000 men are at work in the Detroit plant of the Ford Motor Company.

Economy rides onU.S.Tires F you could get together all the car owners you know, you'd probably find that their tire experiences had been much the same. Not merely for the heavy car, but for the medium and light-weight car—a full sfclection of size, tread and type. Most of them have taken their fling at job lots, discontinued lines and surplus stocks. Soap or late, nearly all settled back on quality first as the one sound assurance of tire value. Your U. S. Tire dealer can give you this service because of the service he gets from bis neighboring U.S. Factory Branch. There are 92 of these Branches. Each gets its share of U. S. Tires, so that the dealer is always supplied with fresh, live stock. ' I As soon as a man forgets the cutprice tag, and comes to the dealer who concentrates on a full, completely sized ptock of U. S. Tires—he learns what it me^ns to get fresh, live tires —not once a while but every time. Not merely in the big cities, but in his own home town. U. b. Tires sell as fast as they are made.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE CO We Add 50 Cents to Each Dollar Invested by An Employe .T%ECENTLY .the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) announced a plan under which w it is possible for its 25,000 employes to become partners in the business on a very attractive basis. s . The publisher of a small newspaper, unac­ quainted with the motives which animate the seven men who direct the operation of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), wrote-an editorial in which he questioned the motives of this Company, and intimated that the plan was a scheme whereby the Company aimed to benefit by getting in this additional capital To set right this publisher, and .any one else interested, the Company, deems it advisable to direct attention to two outstanding features of this plan whichare illuminating in this instance. First, that to every dollar paid by the emSecond, that participation in the plan is not obligatory, and that in no case is an employe permitted to pay in more than twenty percent of his earnings. In formulating the employe partnership plan, the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was inspired solely by the idea of benefiting those employes who wish, through systematic saving, to become partners in.the business. It believes that the man who works and saves is climbing upward, but that the man who invests his savingswisely is climbingr raster, -ft believes that the emokive who has money invested in Oil receive iw ideas has put it in the lead in the petroleum industry. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has devel­ oped an efficient, enthusiastic body of workers. Every employe, /from the Chairman of the Board of Directors to the man who drives a tank wagon, is working steadfastly to serve the public to the best of his ability. It is the recognition of this fact that prompted the Board of Directors to inaugurate the plan which bnables the employe—whatever his position may be—to become a partner—a Standard Oil Company (/«*»») .

Crofoot for anothcr’very intoresting letter from MIm Goinldine Townsend; n graduate of Albloh College who l| now doing ipiasipnary work in China. A short •ime ago a,letter telling 'of her going into Uic famine district was published in the BANNER, and this one tells of ■ome of her experiences there, and of the conditions under which the Chinese live. Surely one cannot' bo grateful enough for the privilege of living in this land of tho United States, when wo hoar North Chinn. The lettet follows:— ’ My work wns in a refuge for famine girls’, n refuge which, like Topsy bad Jrst “growed” of itself right within tho walls.of the Presbyterian Mission compound at Paotingfu. In the first place n fow-girls who had been in dan-, ger of being sold had been brought in Bible Training flchocl building. For one reason nnd another girl* were add­ ed from time to time, until, when the work wn« tnracd over to me there ware sixty-two girls, the Bible women hnd all been dismissed, and there was much need of oversight. The girls wore mak­ ing hair-nets; bnt making hair-nets nil day long is a monotonous task and time hung heavy on their hands. Rome were too «nin)l to accomplish anything nt this handiwork, nnd so were idle raoat of the day. Nono of them, from Wen Tzu, aged seven, to Chi Er, aged eigh­ teen, hnfl' ever "been to school, but nil wanlcd to learn. Straight from heathenism,—ilirty, ragged, unkemp*.— but presenting a wonderful opportunity to mnkc_nn impression on their lives thnt would never be forgotten. By the way, speaking of’ hair nets. ■1i*l ypu over wonder when you bought n dozen of them for five or ten cent* ■ipirro ju»t what price must be paid for the workmanship rinec every one of those peculiar little knot* m^st be tied by hand!

Our experience in handling feeds enables us to determine good feeds from poor feeds—then, too, we are feeders ourselves and knpw the farmer's needs. x Another feature of our service as Feed Distributors is that we buy carload lots and thereby get the'very lowest prices that can be obtained. Phone call and before you order' feeds. If yon are sick. ur if your vitality and strength aro dimlniahlng. rest assured that one or there of the largeTjarrts which leave ytxn iptue are being pinched between two hard little bones—two of tho vertebrae, ar segments, which make up your spinal column. If tlie vertebrae in your *plne are in normal position a large normal nerve (Figure A) emits through the opening between these verebrae capable of carrying all of the vital energy, or mental impulse*, to the organ or part it applies. Consequently, that part is healthy. It Ihase vertebrae have slipped out ef position, caused by a twist, strain, fall or other abnormal move­ ment, they aro exerting a pressure upon the nerve just a* a pair of pliers would. The normal supply of vital energy is diminished hy this pressure and disease results. Your Chiropractor adjust* these vertebra* to their normal position, tliu pressure is removed, the normal amount of vital energy is transmit ted to the atiectsd organ or part and Health results, not sometimes, out always!

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 trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOURSELF these questions:— — . Mr. and Mr*. Clarence Bhultc and son of Hastings spent Hunday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hora. C. fionnevillo and son.

The illustration designates just what or­ gans or parts are supplied by these nerves as they leave the spine. • If you arc troubled with any ailments follow the arrow from the name of the part affected to the region in the spine in which the cause of your trouble lies. Your Chiropractor will prove to you that at this point along your spine one or more of the spinal segments, or vertebrae, are. displaced from their normal position in the spine, partially CH1ROPQACTIC closing the little openings through which the nerves escape. This produces a pressure upon the rferves diminishing the amount of vital energy which they can carry to the parte they supply. The Chiropractor removes this pressure, a nor­ mal amount of this energy is supplied and health results, as the Chiropractor proves every day of his life to the patients who have investigated Chiropractic. > ftifli If you believe that 100% safety of principal counts more-than an ‘ • ‘ STRAUS PLAN BONDS are backed up by a record*of 39 year* without Iom to any investor—-the best possible as­ surance of their soundness.

' Approximately 3,492,000,000 pounds of milk were produced in Michigan last year by 870,000 cows. This gives an average annual production per. cow of about 4,000 pounds of milk. x , Eight or ten yems ago our state Dairy and Food de­ partment estimated thaf the average Michigan cow pro­ duced about 3,600 pounds of milk annually, z While the number of cows and pounds of milk have increased enormously, apparently the kind of poor cows we are keeping has remained much the same, only we have a lot more of them. •' When we realize that one cow has produced over 33,000 pound’s pf milk in one year and that there are thou­ sands of good cows in Michigan producing from 8,000 to i 0,000 pounds, what must a lot of our poor cows be doing to pull the average down to 4,000 pounds? And the tragedy af this is that a lot of good folks own these less-than-average cows, and are trying to pay taxes and live on the profits that their worse than worthless cows can never make. Careless indifference on the part of the owner is the only reason why so many of these penalty exacting cows continue to exist. . Hundreds of our patrons own this kind of cows. You doubtless own some unless you are absolutely’ sure that you don’t. •. ' * There was never a better time to start replacing them.

Kitchen floors, gleaming with soft lustre and immaculate beauty are quite possible if ydq coat your linoleum with FLOORENE, the durable varnish. ' ' FLOORENE brightens up your kitchen, makes it a glad place to cook in. And in your bathroom, it gives to that clean, after-the-bath feeling just twice as much zest. , Linoleum coated with FLOORENE wears longer than you ever thought it could wear. And the pattern, refreshed by the dear, durable varnish, has new life, and retains its color for many more seasons. You need not have dull, worn spots in front of the stove or the sink or bath-tub, if you use FLOORENE. FLOORENE will liven up every painted surface as well as linoleum. It puts a fresh glow on old furniture — that chair that has been discarded, or that table which is not good enough for company to see any more. When you want to clean FLOOR­ ENE finishes, you use soap and water. Durable FLOORENE is not afraid of an honest washing. Make FLOORENE ’ part ' of lyour, spring housecleaning equipment.\ The dealer or the painter will tell you about it. Ask them.

Ziko hn- I wen hobl'.ng nt the Tanmrne ehurrli, rlawd Sunday evening, nnd Have you ever considered the FACT that when you take out a policy in a Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company, that it will be to yoUr distinct ad* vantage to join a large Company that has its policy holdprs.wejl scattered all over the State? When you take out a policy in' any MUTUAL fnitrf-1 anee Company, you automatically become liable for your share of the losses that may be sustained by that Company. ' In any new Mutual Windstorm Insurance' Company, or any small Mu­ tual Windstorm Insurance Company, its risks are naturally grouped in some locality,-or localities. If a cyclone should sweep through that section and cause a very heavy loss as may happen any day, YOU will be liable for your ‘ share of the loss. That is<a feature of Mutual Windstorm Insurance that is worthy of your careful consideration. The Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company is the OLDEST and LARGEST one of its kind in this State. Its risks are well scattered over the State. No cyclone can come that will hit our policy holders very hard for that reason. Some years the losses will be light; other years they may­ be heavier, and for that reason the assessment will be larger or smaller. This was well demonstrated last year when our losses reached the unprece­ dented amount of $564,000.00. Despite this huge loss we only had to levy an assessment of 30 cents on each $100 insured. But EVERY LOSS HAS BEEN PAID PROMPTLY AND IN FULL. Every dollar of our indebtedness has been paid and today we have OVER $325,000 CASH ON HAND to meet any losses that may come. If our losses are small this year, our assessment will be accordingly small. The Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company is carefully and * economically managed and its complete system of loojcing after its' 80,000 - ' policy holders and its 250 millions of Insurance has been highly compli­ mented by competent insurence men. - ' Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company HASTINGS, MICHIGAN Wm.

These, then, are the days when you need a Hoqsier Kitchen Cabinet most. For this wonderful kitchen helper enables you to do your work in much less time and it saves your energy for enjoyable things. Come Out of the Kitchen Spend Your Time Where It’s Cool Every housewife is entitled to leisure—to the fullest enjoyment of sum­ mer pleasures. Hoosier will help you to gain these hours. And you can have a Hoosier placed in your kitchen for ONE DOLLAR. You need only select the model that pleases you most, join the Hoosier Club by paying ONE DOLLAR and its many conveniences immediately begin to cut your work in half. Small amounts each week soon pay the balance of Hoosier’s moderate price. Come at once and select your Hoosier. Don’t be a slave to a hot kitchen another day.

W-lnr-Ia Ask Yourself f These Questions Then Do a Little Thinking r IND The trouble with too m^ny 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 trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire’if you have ever ASKED YOURSELF these questions:— “Do I Know My Financial Condition?” “Am I Getting Ahead, Just Keeping Even Or Am I Running in Debt?” r, lore rould follow, too. by the club.

The Michigan legislature nt Its spec­ ial session bus voted to submit to tho people of this state in 1922 the proposi­ tion of adopting a state income tax. It would seem ns though the national in­ come tax ought to be enough for taxa­ tion of that kind. But it will be up to the people of Michigan to express their views and wc think they will not be backward about doing so. It i> an old saying that “if you take care of the cents, the dollars will ‘take care of themselves."

O. B. Detroit . “The big reductions last fall were made in anticipation of low material . costs which we areznow getting the benefit of, and this fact together with . increased manufacturing efficiency and the unprecedented demand for Ford cars, particularly during the past three^mgnths permitting maximum production, have made another price reduction possible immediately. "Ford business for April and May, 1921, was greater by 56,633 cars and trucks than for the same two months in 1920; in fact, the demand has been even greater than the supply, so'that our output has been limited, not by un­ filled orders but by manufacturing facilities. "During May we produced 101,424 Ford cars and trucks for sale in the United States alone—the biggest month in the history of our company—and our factories and assembly plants are now working on a 4,000 car daily schedule for June.' v The Fordson tractor is still being sold at less than the cost to produce on account of the recent big price reductions, and it is impossible, therefore, to make any further cut in the price, of the tractor." , Can you afford to go without a car any longer when Fords are selling at these low prices There is no reason why you should delay purchasing a Ford car, Ford truck, or Fordson tractor. • ' We will gladly advise you concerning the delivery of a Fprdson tractor or the particu­ lar type of car in which you are interested.

Buh.i �rovn .... . Consider Your Clothes AVE you ever stopped to think of the part petroleum plays in converting raw material into the fabrics which are used to make your suit of clothes? From the wool on a sheep’s back to the. clothes on your back is a long journey and petroleum shortens it at every step. H By machinery lubricated with petroleum, a man may shear from 175 to 200 fleeces' a day. By the old method, 50 fleeces would be considered a big day’s work. After leaving the sheep, the wool passes through ten major processes before it is ready for the tailor. Each of these re­ quire the use of intricate machinery, having bearings which run at speeds varying from 350 to 12,000 revolutions per minute. From the clipper to the last finishing ma­ chine, a diversity * of mechanical conditions exist, each of which has been studied and experimented with,and a'iubricant found which meets exactly the needs of the machinery. In solving these lubricating problems, and manufacturing oils and greases which enable these machines to perform their work, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has been among the leaders.

L PIERSON PttONE 223| Some Facts A bout Windstorm Insurance That Will Well Be Worth Your Time to Consider Have you ever stopped to think that a Cyclone or Windstorm is just as apt to hit your property as anyone’s else, and that if , you are not insured your loss will be TOTAL? . For a few cents on each $ 100 insured you can carry a policy in the largest and strongest Windstorm Insurance Company in Michigan, that will FULLY PROTECT YOUrup to the full amount of your policy, in case you meet with loss. The question with YOU should be— "CAN I AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT . **SUCH PROTECTION?" The Michigan Mutual Windstorm In­ surance Company has been in business •, OVER 35 ^'EARS. It has over 80,000 il MEMBERS, about 250 MILLIONS OF, h INSURANCE on its books, about $.325,I 000 CASH ON DEPOSIT in banks, draw■ ing interest, and ALL INDEBTEDNESS PAID. It is in the BEST and STRONGEST position today it has ever been itf'its his­ tory. , Here is another question you can well consider—“Can you afford to join ANY SMALL COMPANY,' which if it meets with a heavy loss, as it may any day, will mean a heavy burden upon you in the way of assessments?” You should not overlook tlie FACT that if you are a member of a small company, which meets with a heavy loss, YOU MUST PAY YOUR SHARE ’ And Silk Socks that will adcT luster to your feet. OF THOSE LOSSES, and YOU CAN’T GET AWAY FROM IT. The Michigan Mutual Windstorm In­ surance Company is conservatively man­ aged, has the best and most complete sys­ tem of looking after its records of^any Windstorm Company in existente, and that means added protection to ev^ry poli­ cy holder, and we Ayill pay you fully and promptly as soon as your loss is adjusted. Our assessment is NEVER any higher than is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, depend­ ing largely upon the extent of our losses. This amount will vary of course. Some years when losses are low there may be no assessment. Some years we may get hit hard and the assessment would have to be some higher—just as happened in 1 920 when we paid OVER A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN LOSSES. This chused a higher assessment in 1921 to pay up those losses— but such extremely heavy losses do not often occur. Nevertheless they are just as apt to' come to a small Company as a large one. That’s why it's to YOUR ADVANTAGE to join a large Company like the Michigan Mutual Windstorm Company, where, if losses are heavy, there will be 80,000 others to help pay them. It’s a lot easier for 80,000 members to pay the losses, than for 500 or 1,000 members to do it—and that’s exactly what may hap­ pen in arty small or new Company. • Think it over. ’ • party nt their new cottage nt Crooked take, on Wodneudny night.

This tends to help people enjoying salaries or other “fixed” incomes. Prices on many things are becoming attractive enough to invite normal*buy­ ing of goods and at the same time leave a margin sufficient to'encourage re­ sumption of more normal habits of saving. , Savings, of course, are the basis of all National and Individual prosperjty,.. Regul^r.and persistent saving enables one to meet sudden emergencies or to greet,opportunity when it beckons; it is the great builder of character arid financial standing. . Regular savings depositors can utilize profitably every decline in living costs to increase the size of their deposits. \ Our1 patrons and friends who are not now saving are cordially invited to reopen old accounts or to come in and'open new ones. You will be assured every possible encouragement and a cordial wel­ come. The Bank of Personal Service "The present industrial depreralon >» the best thing thnt hn* ever happened to the country.

LET MATURE REWARD YOU FOB A NORMAL SPINE The aoat article (the cightovnib) in this aorioa will ,hi>w yo F. C. HINKLEY, D. C. - Read This Advertisement and You Can See the Reason “Why” In view of the mild winter we have just passed through, the above statement ‘may seem impossible^ But according to the United States Geologic Survey report, here is the exact situation: We use in this country about 525 millions of tons of coal each year, and right now we are producing about 30 millions of tons per month. That is going to leave a big shortage, when the heavy demand comes during the cold months of next Fall. When the demand is larger than the supply PRICES GO UP alw^y^. What’s the Trouble? The tro&ble is that consuv’’*^ not buying any coal and for that reason the dealers are. not buying. The result i; that 175,000 freight cars are standing idle on the tracks, and the mines are not producing coal to load them. It’s a situation that should have the immediate attention of coal consumers, dealers, operators, rail­ way officers and the Interstate Commerce Commission. We have all heard a lot of propaganda in the past be­ cause railroads could not handle coal when people wanted it Now the railroads have 175,000 idle freight cars ant! would like to have them all loaded with coal, so that they would have something for those Idle cars to do—BUT NO ONE IS ORDERING COAL. The 175,000 cars are idle; the mines are literally stuffed with coal and no place to'ship it. The mines are therefore closing down or greatly curtailing production until'they can move some of this surplus stock. •, ’You can see that this is an unhealthy condition. It means that later, when the DEMAND comes, people may pay more for their coal than it is worth unless an early-buying movement is started. Coal now is at its’lbwost level. Many people can afford to BUY NOW, and it is a business proposition to do it. No one wants to see. such wild, run-away markets as wo have had in the past. Carey U.

When bank checks are u$ed they represent money that remains safely in the bank. Tho risk is eliminated. Checks are also far more convenient an<} business-like.

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 evir hope to. pl ace themselves above the conditions of WANT and DEPENDENCE in their old age, that they MUST com­ mence SAVING MONEY during the period of their lives while their EARNING "POWER" is unimpaired. , 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.

Civilization’s Greatest Achievement Some Eskimos were brought down to Edmonton, Alberta, on official business. They had never before been south of the Arctic Circle. They had never seen a street, a town, a window, or a wooden door. A bed, a water tap, and an electric l^ght produced completely new sensations. Street cars were unknown to them; telephones unheard of; trains not to be believed even when beheld. They had never seen an automobile until someone took them riding in one. They had never set their eyes on an airplane until some­ one did his most daring stunts in one to thrill them. They had never even seen a movie! But what do you suppose moved them most in the whole bag of tricks which civilization produced for their amusement and amazement? What seemed to them the greatest wonder of all? t ?■>_’ The cold storage plants I The White Man didn’t always have to hunt and fish when he wanted to eat I Here was civilization’s’ greatest gift, its greatest benefaction. ; This feature of civilization makes it possible for Swift & Company, in the season of over production, to store a supply of food for distribution in the season of scant, or non production.

Whether you sell your hay or feed it, your profits are increased when you employ the Dain System of air-curing hay—the system that makes better grade hay by air-curing it. It costs you nothing extra to air­ cure hay. You merely follow the mower with a JOHNfLDEERE DAIN SYSTEM RAKE With Inclined Frame With this rake you can rake while the leaves arc still active, placing the hay on clean stubble in medium-sized, loose windrows with the bulk of the leaves inside and the majority of the stem® outside. This can be done ■uccessfully only with a rake with an inclined frame, and the Dain System is the rake with the inclined frame. The frame is low at tiyi 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 the tooth bars causes tht hay to come up against the frame and pitch forward into a loose cod. placing the leave® inside and the stems outside. Most of the moisture evapo­ rites with no low of leave® or foliage. ' We have these rakes ready for your use. Drop in and look them over. Notice the vertical lift—a lever for rais­ ing caeh end of the rake to get all the dean hay on uneven meadow surfaces; the. inclined frame that gives extra capacity exactly where needed, and the convenient levers. Ask us about this rake. GOODYEAR BROS. HARDWARGE CO. Hastings, Michigan The best fabric tire mad e for heavy service l- - or rough roads — THE B. F.

' Admission 35c Buy Your Coal Now Or You May Have to Pay Higher Prices Later On LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH YOU WILL APPRECIATE the sensible, convenient way you prepare for a Chiropractic exam­ ination, analysis and adjustment. The most sensitive woman can receive the entire examination and adjustment without fear of cm■ barnuisment. The examination appeals to busy men because of its convenience. / z The part of the back directly over the region of the spine is the only part exposed. After the analysis is made the patient is placed in position on the upholstered adjusting table. The adjust­ ment requires, only a very" few minutes and is without pain or real discomfort. . — if you desire a consultation we will arrange an appointment for you. at which time we’will give you a complete analysis, if you wish, without any cost or obligation on your part whatsoever. Chiroprac­ tor* are always willing to thoroughly explain their science to you. In view of the mild winter we have just passed through, the above statement may seem impossible. But according to the United States Geologic Survey report, here is the exact situation: We use in this country about 525 millions of tons of coal each year, and right now we are pfoducing about 30 millions of tons per month. That is going to leave a big shortage, when the heavy demand comes during the cold months of next Fall. When the demand is larger than the supply PRICES GO UP always. ' What’s the Trouble? The trouble is that , consumers are not buying'any coal and for. that reason’ th<j dealers arc not buying. The result is that 175,000 freight cars #rc standing idle on tho tracks, and the mines are-not producing coal to load them. It’s a situation that should have the immediate attention of coal Consumers, dealers,-operators, rail­ way, officers and the Interstate Commerce Commission. We have all heard a lot of propaganda in the past be­ cause railroads could not handle coal when people wanted it. Now the railroads have 175,000 idle freight cars and would like to have them all loaded with coal, so that they would have something for those idle cars to do—BUT flO ONE IS ORDERING COAL, The 175,000 cars are idle; the mines are literally stuffed with coal and no place to ship it. The mines are therefore closing down or greatly curtailing production until they can move some of this surplus stock.' , . You can see that this is an unhealthy condition. It means, that later, when the DEMAND comes, people ’ may pay more for their coal than it is worth unless an early-buying movement is started. Thv next,’ or nine­ teenth, article will t give the diseases re­ sulting from tiublux. atiuna in the superior in ck region' of the spine. * Read This Advertisement and You Can See the Reason “Why” Coal now is at ita^bwest level. Many people can afford to BUY NOW, and it is a business proposition to do it. No one wants to see such wild, run-away markets as we have had in the past, :t *711311^9# Carey U.

Incorporalctl Penobscot Building Chicago DETROIT - New York Gasoline and Roast Beef HE National Automobile Chamber of Commerce announces that six million cattle, ; hogs and sheep were shipped by motor truck, from farms pnd .feod lots to stockyards, during 1920; most of them were moved in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). T Before the advent of the motor truck, the farmer drove his cattle to the loading station, and hauled his hogs in the small, slow-moving, horse-drawn .wagons. This practice called for a great expen­ diture of time and labor, and caused the animals to arrive in an overheated condition, which meant a heavy shrinkage and a consequent lower market value. Today much of this loss is elimi­ nated by the quicker, more efficient method of transportation. Middle West farmers have come to look upon the motor truck as a dependable, economical aid in the prompt and profitable marketing of their live stock. Py reason of its comprehensive system for dis­ tributing gasoline and other petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a potent factor in stabilizing the use of the motor truck on the farms throughout the Middle West. In supplying the petroleum needs of the farmer, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is rendering a service of signal importance to every inhabi­ tant of the territoryserved. A dependable supply of gasoline means a dependable supply of food. Such service is possible only because the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company appre­ ciate their responsibility to the public, and be­ cause 25,000 men an’d women who make up this organization realize the weight of this responsi­ bility and the importance of their individual tasks. While the equipment of the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) is vast and complete, it is the spirit of the personnel which makes for efficiency. The mere physical equipment would be impotent in the hands of the passive or inexperienced. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) , 910 S.

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 nnd smoothly. The packer and bearing box caps are provided with shims to take up the wear. Special oil cups prevent oil from being thrown out This one-piece shaft carries a third pack­ er—a great advantage, especially in short grain or long, tangled grain. The needle shaft.is also made of drop-forged, high-carbon steel to insure the ac­ curate operation of the needle in carrying the twine to the knotter. of heavy duck, 2 ounces heavier than is uited on other makes of binders, with strong straps riveted to < the sluts as well as to the canvals.

Every cent of indebted­ ness HAS BEEN PAID: we have OVER 250'’5lILLIONS of insurance on our books; we have OVER $325,000 on deposit in Banks und drawing interest. This rnbney belongs to-our Policy Holders. Any Policy Holder who listens to any of these oiiy-tongucd agents.and cancels his policy, voluntarily gives up his SHARE of that $325,­ 000.

We’re determin­ ed tt> wipe out every shred and memory of old high prices, in order io start the heuf season spick-span-new with bright, fresh good?, with the new low prices everywhere. That’s why wt #te cutting prices to the bone on every piece of merchandise tha.i we.own today. Much of these goods is exactly what people will buy two months hence at regular prices—not the old high prices, of course. They will never come back in our lifetime, we trust. But, of course, they will neea to be higher than the July sacrifice pHces that we are quoting right now. Here are things that manty housekeepers havp beeri waiting to buy, because they wouldn't pay the old high prices—COME AND SEE HOW SMALL THE PRICES ARE NOW. Here are the Silks, the Dress Goods, the Cotton Goods, the Sheets and Pillow Cases, the Cretonnes, the Blankets, the Suits, Stockings and Underwear— and ever so much more—just as you’d want them, for now, for the fall, for the. winter, and present prices are lower than they can be again for six months at least. Come to the store and see for yourself what wonderful opportunities are pre­ sented during these days of drastic clearance of stocks. A.

The cojyfliiion of that spine indicates exactly the condition of your health. For instance, notice the picture. The hand is pointing to the atlas-axis region, or the first and second cervical vertebrae. These vertebrae rotate the head. You can feel the axis with your finger tips—apparently the first vertebra in the spine. Subluxations (slight displacements) at this point are the cause of certain forms of so-called headaches, eye diseases, deafne.ss, epilepsy', dizziness, insomnia, wry neck, facial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, etc. • If you will consider your disease from a Chiropractic standpoint you will learn the cause, have it removed—your health restored—permanently.

These prices, effective July 2, are as follows: NASH SIX-5-pass, touring car, $1545; 7-pass. touring car, $1695; 7-pass. Sedan, $2695; 4-pass. Coupe, $2395; 2-pass. Roadster, $1525; 4-pass. iL .Sport Model, $1695. NASH FOUR—57pass. touring car, $1195; 2-pass; Roadster, $1175; 3-pAss. Coupe, $1735; 4-pass. Sedan, $1935. N A STATEMENT given out by C. W. Nash, President of the Nash Mo­ tors Company, and considered one of the country’s highest authorities on efficient and economical manufacturing, he reported that these reductions . represent lowered production costs in the big Nash plants at Kenosha and ■ Milyvaukec. They-are handed on to the public because it has always been the policy, of the Nash Motors Company to give buyers the benefit of sav­ ings accomplished through operating economy. “We have always believed," said Mr. Nash, “that no man or institution which did not always deal fairly and squarely with the public could long survive.” . . , ”1 take no small pride in the cars that bear my name, and yet I honestly believe that our frank and Open way of taking the public into our donfidence has played as important a part in our success as has the goodnes§ of our pro■ duct. ' x ’ z “For instance, last fall when there was a concerted and country-wide feeling that prices along all lines sfiould be reduced, we were in absolute \ sympathy with the movement. - J • . “And yet there was simply no practical method by which to accomplish it • so far as tyash cars were concerned, because we would not sacrifice quality. ‘• “So we immediately enme out frankly and told why we could not reduce prices until al least July I. - > I t “I am very certain that our course at this time convinced those who read the statement that the Nash Motors Company was doing the commendable thing. . “You see our prices during the four years prior to last October had risen only 3 I and the average price increase for all cars was 76^. “Nash prices were not inflated because in addition to holding our price increase during this tiirid to 31% we found ways and means of building the cars even better. “We are never content to stand still up here and we are constantly work­ ing to develop further improvement and refinements for Nash cars. “And'we committed ourselves publicly to continue to pursue our policy of ' steadily building a tetter value and holding to our prices until A reduction could be affected through new economies in production which we wqre even then originating. “The latest labor and time-saving devices were secured and every energy was bent toward accomplishing these economies as rapidly as possible. “Now we come forward with these reduced prices and at the same time offer an even more valuable car. . , ’ gL _ “We have kept our word and wefhaye also worked,out tli.e ppee reductipn ■matter in a manner thfat gives the greatest possible benefit to our buyers?’ COOL & DOOLEY SALES COMPANY ANDREW DOOLEY, Salesman HASTINGS, MICHIGAN LEON COOL, Garage M I �9 iBANNER flCTmaPAT, jngliT 7,-MM.

The extension of Young ^Mcn’s Christian Association work h£rc in America, kas been vary gratifying.

Fordson onuay. 1’nul Fnutkner of Mi4fl1cvii)e a*sf*tI in Faulkner’s Drug Mure over tho The Fordson Tractor is taking care of every power job; it is taking the drudgery out of farm work and solving the labor problem. Power farmihg with the Fordson reduces the cost of preparing land to almost one-half what it would be with horses, and saves a third to a half of the farmer’s time. AXffiat machinery does for the factory, the Fordson Tractor is accomplishing on the farm—it is increasing production at lower costs and making farm life attractive. ■Bl ' Apply' this p-uwer fanning idea in your • thmhing. More and more farmers urc mak­ ing themselves independent of unfavorable eoodilionn by using the Fordson tractor linked up with a light thresher. By scizjng the right inuinrnt and being uble tb. do the job without .waitiug and in quick time, crofi losses ure avoided and profits increased. The Fordson operates with kerosene. When usetl <»n belt work, running ut full power at R. P. M., the fuel consumption does not exceed 2^ gallons per hour. It will run the electric light plant, operate the milking ma­ chines and straw baler—will take care of every .kind of belt work. The Forduon plows 6 to 8 acres in a-10hour day, handling two plows with c&e in the average soil. It requires an aver.i%g*.of only 1 Mt to 2 gallons of kerosene to the acre. It is the ideal year-round tractor. It will pay for its fall and winter keep in many ways such us road work, hauling grain to the ele­ vator, pumping water and moving gruuarius. » • ’ - 'f.

We're determin­ ed to wipe out every shred and memory of old high prices, in order to start the new- season spick-span-new with bright, fresh goods, with the new low prices everywhere. That's why we are cutting prices to the bone on every piece of merchandise that, we own today. Much of these goods is exactly what people will buy two months hence at regular prices—not the old high prices, of course. They will never come back in our lifetime, we trust. But, of course, they will need to be higher than the July sacrifice prices that we are quoting right now. it! ti Here are things that many housekeepers have been waiting to buy, because they-wouldn't pay the old high prices—COME AND SEE HOW SMALL THE PRICES ARE NOW. 'Here are the Silks, the Dress Goods, the Cotton Goods, the Sheets and Pillow Cases, the Cretonnes, the Blankets, the Suits, Stockings and Underwear— . and ever so much more—just as you’d want them, for now, for the fall, for the winter, and present prices are lower than they can be again for six months dt least.

Tho president doc* not intend to reach a decision wondcrrful pending developments in certain inter­ national negotiations now in progress, notably the following: 1. Anglo-Japanese alliance. Whether Great Britain continue* its alliance with Japan, nnd, if so, whether tho character of the alliance is detrimental to tho interest of the United States. 2. Mandates. Whether the Allies rec­ ognise American rights derived from the fifth share of the United States in territories ceded by tho central pow­ ers, rescind tho action allocating tho ishthd of Yup to Japan and accord America tho commercial ppen door in their former enemy possessions.

I believe that Federal and State Governments must not only create good roads but they must insist upon the maintenance of good roads.

Many farmers, members of this Company, who were misled by the malicious misrepresentations of smooth-tongued Agents of other Companies were inclined to be influenced by the false reports these Agents were circulating concerning this Company. But since they have learned the real TRUTH in regard to this Company, they* are more pleased than ever with it, and many who had actually cancelled their Policies have ordered their policies restored after learning the real facts. Therfe isn’t anything about the actual condition of this Company that we have concealed, or would want to conccnl. We have given the actual FACTS in our advertisements, but if any member, at any time, wants to know anything concerning any points we have not covered in our advertisements, if he wilfcall at our office we will be pleased to inform him. We have frankly told you that the year of 1920 was.the hardest one ever experienced in the his­ tory of this Company. We actually PAID OVER A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN LOSSES—more than double what we ever paid before. The largest part of these losses we paid by iponey we had to borrow from Banks in various cities in Michigan, because we did not have the cash on hand to pay them. This MONEY we BORROWED from the Banks HAD TO BE PAID BACK, with interest In view of our extremely heavy losses in 1920 there was only ONE THING to do in 1921, and that was to levy an assessment large enough to pay back the money we had to borrow from the Banks to pay our losses, and leave us with a comfortable working balance op hand to help pay other losses in 1921. That is.what we did, and we did it by levying an assessment only a little larger than the usual assessment. And this is our ACTUAL CONDITION today:— Our ADJUSTED LOSSES have ALL BEEN PAID; our LOANS from the Banks have ALL been repaid, and in doing this we have established a CREDIT that will stand this Company well in hand . should it ever get in a position where it will need money. We have over >800,000 cash on hand, and over £60 MILLIONS of insurance in force. . ‘ No men can figure out IN ADVANCE what our Fosses are going to be for'any given year.J They . may bo extremely heavy, as they'were in 1920, or they may be very light. Wt» feel that PRUDENCE, GOOD, SOUND BUSINESS, and the BEST INTERESTS OF EVERY MEMBER of this Company de­ ’* finance« be ALWAYS kept in first class condition in order to meet all losses PROMPTLY and FULLY. We NEVER want to overlook the FACT that heavy losses may conm some year when it will not be as easy to borrow several hundred thousands of dollars from the Banks as readily as we were able to do last year. THEN a comfortable surplus wijl be APPRECIATED more SflVf ®ve* before, by every member unfortunate enough to meet with loss. Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company , President.

The headlight law has just been passed "by the Michigan legislature, Bill No. 88, and will go into effect on the 19th of August, the dote on which all new laws passed by the 1921 session of the legislature will become effective. Thi* law will not permit tho use of the motorist* "Menace”—tho “glar­ ing head lamps” nnd specific* thnt: “No portion of the beam of light when pointed 75 feat or more ahead of the lamp, shall rise above n plane 42 iuches higher than nnd parallel with the leva! surfne.- on which the vehicle stands.’' The bill nbo statex: "If said vehicle can exceed a speed limit of 13 miles Cr hour, then they shall have front ups capable of furnishing light of sufficient candlepower to render any substantial object clearly discernible on u level highway nt least 200 feet ahead at all time* nnd at the same time ut least seven feet to the right of the axis of such vehicle for n dis­ tance of at least 100 feet.’* The bill further provides: “Thnt no electric bulb .or other lighting de­ vice of a greater capacity than 32 candlepower •vhall be used, no matter how the Sarno may be shaded, covered or obscured.” “If any spot light shall be carried and displayed on any sOeh motor ve­ hicle the same shall be no placed and used that the light therefrom shall bo foeusod on the right hand ride of the road not more than 200 feet in front of such vehicle.*' .

IS THE National Password American people have awakened to the necessity for being less wasteful and extravagant. National thrift means the practice of greater effici­ ency and conservation in every home and every business. It also means that every one should have a savings account in which spare sums can be deposited as regu­ larly as the. income is received. Are you prepared now, or will you be when the time comes, to protect yourself with your surplus savings? - i If not, start an account here today, then add some part of your income to it regularly.

In this country up until terrnt mouth*, workmen have been putting in Shour* a day, iu too many ease* seeing how little they .could do. and have received th* largest wage* ever known, and been paid in the bc»t money on earth.- It rtnnds to res*on thnt we rnnnjit long continue paying extremely high wagefor ••h«*t£ hours/’-while competitor* abroad arc paying very low wages fnr ‘•long hours” and- paying their help >n ’depreciated money.

In n recent Interview Thoma* .Edison raid: “I am not against the eight hour day, or any other thing thnt protects labor from exploitation nt th* bands of ruthless employers.

I have nlwnys^fclt.tjtat otre of tho prin­ cipal reason* for Amerienn progress’in the past has been that every man hnd a chance to become what he wanted to be. “Today I am wondering what would have happened to me by now if fifty years ago some fluent talker had con­ verted me to lhe theory of the eight honr day and convinced me thnt it was not fair to piy fellow workers to pul my best efforts in my work. “I am gl^l that the eight hour day hnd not been invented when I w** a young man. It my life hnd been made up of eight hour days 1 do trot believe I rould have areomplished a great deal.

There must bo less watching of the cjork nnd more regard for the country. War experience has taught that no one great industry can shorten its hour* nf labor and increase wages at the same time, without it* affecting all lines of business more or les* eventually. When Henry Ford announced a ntinimtin wage of $rt per day for eight hourwork, it was heralded ns a wonderful thing. But his action forced other automobile concerns to flo the same thing. Armies ~M ymitig men left the farms, tho print *hoj - and other lines tn take Advantage of the high wages in the automobile factories. Fanner* soon found that if they hired a man on tho farm they had to practically pay jtutoi.udiite factory wages L>r aa Sthour day cnl *ec them quit work in the middle ef the afternoon. Other employers of hilior found practically tho same thing. 1:« more than farming and sonle indus­ tries ean stand tip under, with present prices, and the result is that tnany farmer* arc nut hiring any H-hour day hands, but are getting -dongas best they run without hiring help by the day. Printers in the large cities* arc going them all one better. Icing out on s strike now for a 44 hour week with 48 hdure nay. If this em-- ceds.wc may onpect this policy will bo followed in other line*. But what is going to bu the end of it all, because everyone must know- that iu the reeonrtruction days following a great war, such n policy ranaqt long Ire followed. In France.

Strengthen Your Land ■ Every Season ly Using a Fertilizer LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH You Will Never Know You Have a Stomach If Your Stomach Never Lacks in Its Supply of Nerve Energy ' ' ■ The stomach that rebels and is distressed by aches and pains and indigestion is NOT rebelling because it is not getting the proper food. It is rebelling be­ cause it can’t get its proper supply of mental impulses, or nerve energy. A displaced vertebrae at a point in the spine indicated by the hand will pro­ duce pressure upon the nerves emitting at that point, which in turn will produce so-called dyspepsia, gall stones, fevers, shingles, hiccoughs, worms, and stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas and-other disor­ ders. . , N.

Frankly, there has been some talk against the bonus on the ground that you would simply squander the money. We don’t believe it. Some few will perhaps. But the real men who gpt that bonus will use it rightly, and the real men who saw service are the vast ma­ jority, the others the exceptions.

A scrub animal is the product of bad breeding, bad feeding, and a combination of both. Did you ever know any one to make money raising scrub stock? Did you ever know of any one even making a good liv­ ing raising ^crub cattle? The great mission of the Pure-Bred Sire to American herds is to improve them and bring forth stock which will produce more and better. ' This Really Happened There was an instance in Illinois where a year’s record was kept of a herd of 40 grade and scrub cows, and the profit for the whole year was $31. There was also another instance along with this where the year’s record of one Pure-Bred cow shows a profit of $31.25 in one year. • -y How is your own herd? Are you struggling along with a herd of grade or scrub cattle,, merely “playing even,” losing moneys or havet.you a built-up"Kei^d of pure-bred producers? Think these things over. We will be pleased to show you further evidence of the value and worth of raising pure-bred cattle.

We believe this is the best buy on the tractor market, barring none. ,• This is the lowest price ever quoted on the Titan, considering equipment now included (formerly sold extra). March 1, 1921, the price was $1,200. Now it is $900. As this price disregards manufacturing costs, we do not know how long it will be maintained. International 8-16 and I 5-30 tractors are also lower than ever before. The 8-16 now sells for $900 complete. The new low price on the I 5-30 is $1,750. • All prices f. o. b. Chicago.

It showed very clearly that although law and medicine sometimes bring a man a greater fortune, the profession of accountancy stands on a far higher level of AVERAGE remuneration than either law or medicine. Many accountants draw from their practice over $100,000 n year and the aver­ age income of the qualified accountant—taken throughout thetentire country, and excluding those we term clerks and bookkeepers—is considerably over $3,000 a year.

What Is Every Mother’s Hope For Her Children? Sturdy, energetic children radiating health, are a source of pride and joy to their parents. And their development depends largely on thdir food.

It is an old investment maxim that safety and a conservative interest rate go together, and that an exorbitant yield is a signal for caution. -This is particularly a time to remember this fact. An unduly high rate of interest on an investment often distracts the investor’s atten­ tion from other qualities not so desirable. With the eyes fixed on yield rather than on security, the investor sometimes fails to notice that there is no convincing evi­ dence offered of sure payment of principal and interest. r The return of your capital unimpaired when due, together with prompt payment of interest, is of more importance than a promise of an unusual net return on your investment. The Straus Guide to Safe Investments lists a great variety of sound first mortgage serial bonds, safeguarded under the Straus Plan and amounting to $34,000,000 yield­ ing the safe and conservative interest rate of G%. ■ ' In addition to 6T, with 4% Federal Income Tax paid, these bonds yield satisfaction and peace of mind. Their prompt payment in-cash on the day due is assured by the rigid provisions of the STRAUS PLAN. Call or write. D. W. ROGERS ' Barry County Representative, Hastings, Mich. S. W. Straus & Co.

Jonathan Bourne. Jr. ‘•’lixtcnding over n . month, and involving nttnrks from tho air‘Spon submarines, destroyers, cruiser, end battleship, the exercises were most instructive. To suggest and carry thoni out so effective­ ly reflects great credit upon the naval nnd military branches of the Govern­ ment. The experiments were in no sense n contest betwe.-n air and water forces, despite the tendency of various press report* to ctavi-y that impres­ sion.' ‘The purpose of this last exer­ cise,’ rend the official memorandum is sued preceding tho Ostfriesland. test, •is to obtain material information cyeorning tho effect of hits by bombs of various sixes.’ That purpose was fnlly realized, and complete data collected. •‘Ever since* certain ill-advised en­ thusiasts in the United Btatcs and in England proclaimed the ‘doom of tho capital whip’ because of the mennee of bombs from tho air, n controversy has waged between the advocates and opnonentrf of that theory. Tho Ortfriosland experiment wm« the only one in which n capital ship mu attacked with live bombs ami the facts it revealed uro highly significant although not con­ clusive. It was demonstrated thnt 1,000 and 2,000-pound bombs, in their present state of development, will not penotrato tho protective deck of a bat­ tleship nnd that their explosive effect is limited to the immediate vicinity of their impact. Tho Ostfriesland was dircctlyhit three time* by bombs of 1,000 pounds und onee*.by a 2,000-poundcr. l-argo holes were tom in tho upper decks and the forced draft systupi of the boilers was put out of commission, but tho protective deck was not pene­ trated, nor wna any vital part of tho ship affected. ”On tho other hand it aptorently was proven thnt half a ton of high explosivo detonated below the water line fifty feet or !<•*.• from u battleship’’* hull will give her a fatal wound.

Detroit What Henry Ford Says About Machine Power Farming “In the tractor the farmer now has a machine in which is harnessed one of the most adaptable, efficient, economical Sources of power in the world-—the Internal combustion engine. “The tractor will multiply the productive capacity of each individ­ ual farm worker from thrfce to four times over. “It will put the farmer on a par with the ci|y manufacturer. It will put his produce-producing factory—for that is what a farm is-— onto an efficient production basis. "It will enable each worker to earn so much more that he can be paid more and still leave a greater profit for the man who hires him. , It will enable the farmer to work fewer hours in the day, giving himmore time to enjoy life. “I believe the tractor will make farming what it ought to be—the most pleasant, the most healthful,, the most profitable business on earth.” .

Invariably, men who have achlcv-I'd Phenomenal Success in their line have demaned Quality. It gave them the Confidence to Think Clearly and Act Wisely. Napoleon was very particular about the Quality of food his men received. Good food gave them the utmost Confidence in him. Likewise successful men of business have given particular attention to Quality. With them Quality has been the chief Consideration, believing Price to be of Secondary Importance. Salesmen cannot sell a commodity' until they have sold themselves upon'it. They sell themselves and pthers'because they have Con­ fidence in it. And Quality Instills Confidence. Quality without Confidence is not compati­ ble with successful salesmanship. Conversely, Confidence in a product of poor Quality will not produce the desired results.

This wonderful heritage for posterity is made possible by the art of industry. But the art of industry has accomplished other things as well. ■ Sixty years ago men found.oil in quanti­ ties, from which they produced light. The Standard Oil Company took that oil and, in addition to light, produced from it, power, and lubricants for the parts which transmit the power—not to mention hun­ dreds of other useful products. Fifty years ago people were delighted with the oil which gave them abundant light; but none could foresee the development which this ’’Rock Oil” would make possible. It was the vision and courage of the men who founded the Standard Oil Company that made it possible for the automotive industry to come into being. It is the ability of the men who manage the Standard Oil Company (Indftma) of today that has made it possible for the auto­ mobile to develop from the clumsy vehicle of twenty years ago to the smoothly-driven machine of today. For the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) constantly anticipated demand and produced gasoline of such quality, and in such quan­ tity, and distributed it in a manner so thor­ ough, that the automotive manufacturer could produce in large enough quantities to keep his product within the range of the modest purse. The art of industry is exemplified in the achievements of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), which will-live for centuries and benefit posterity in a practical way, as the peqrctuation of Caruso’s voice will benefit in an aesthetic way.

CHIROPRACTOR All former price advances are wiped out by the big reductions made on this three-plow tractor. We believe this is the best buy on the tractor market, barring none. , - This is the lowest price ever quoted on the Titan, considering equipment now included (formerly sold extra). March 1, 1921, the price was $1,200. Now it is $900. As this price disregards manufacturing C9sts/ we do not - know how, long it will be maintained. International .8-16 and 15-30 tractors are also lower than ever before. The 8-16 now sells for $900 complete. The new low price on the 15-30 is $ 1,750. All prices f. o. b. Chicago.

Numerous motives lead them hither and thither. But how exceptional are the cases where any attention is given at.all to that most important condition of real efficiency— persona! fitness of the worker for his task. The most super­ ficial impulses determine the turns of the road. Chance in­ formation and chance advice by those who are wholly unfit to advise, haphazard impressions, wrong vision; and in many cases above all, the accident of a vacant.place; the wish to be . with friends; the convenient location; family tradition, and a hundred other secondary conditions are decisive, while the primary factors are neglected. .

When you contrast this with the area ’ of th* United States—3,6)26,789 square the proved area is but a fingerprint on the map. - Yet from this 4506 square miles must come the raw material to drive all of our motor driven machines, and practically all of the oil to lubri­ cate the machinery which makes possible the happiness and prosperity of the nation. . • , To magnify this finger print is the task in which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is engaged. fiy reason of the Burton Process, which largely increases the amount of gasoline recoverable from a given quantity of crude oil,'and dozens, of other methods developed ih its laboratories and refineries, the Standard Oil Company (IqdianaJ, ha%multiplied the quantity of finished *■ ’ pttrolepm pjjpdvctr available for the use of men wherever they may live. '* . The development of the Burton Process, has done more to promote the manufacture of auto­ motive machinery than any other single dis­ covery since the usefulness of gasoline as a fuel was made known. Because of it there is a plen­ tiful supply- of crude oil available, today, and gasoline is selling fora low price. Without it the price of this fuel would be beyond the reach of the average man. . . The use of this process is not confined to the ■ refiners of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) • atone, but is being made available to others under condition? which are just and equitable to all. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a just pride in the work it has done, and is doing', to so increase the quantity and quality of its products as to make possible the use of labor saving machinery throughout the world. Thus is the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) dbing a big work in conserving the natural resources of the nation, and in helping others to do likewise. . T HARRIS CREEK. Mr*.

Better Bonds for you From the makers of U.S. Royal Cords to the , users of FabricTires ' ■ % • The sum and substance of every effort of this com­ pany Is to provide you with sounder, safer, better investment securities. We have at no time during the existence of the Fed­ eral Bond & Mortgage Company been content to sell you merely good bonds.

THE U.S.USCO TREAD - * with a long-established standard r all of modem merchandising the biggest conundrum is the fabric tire situation. . Around 70% of all car owners use fabric tires. Their instinct far quality vs as strong and insistent as any one else’s. / . Why, then, are they offered such hodge-podge stocks of "dis­ count tires,:’“odd lots,” “seconds," “retreads” and other so-called bargains of uncertain origin? , People have gotten very close to the U.S. policy. Felt it. Benefited by it. And passed the word along. It’s a policy settled to onestandard for all U. S. Tires. Whether fabrics or cords. Small sizes or large. i Giving to the fabric tire user fresh, live tires. Being made now. Being shipped now. All the. original U. S. vitality and servicecomes through when you buy a U. S. Fabric Tire. Sooner or later the public al­ ways seeks out quality. As a matter of self-pro tec tion—if for . no other reason. The out-and-out opinion in favor bf U. S. Fabric Tires has spread more this year than it ever did. "Usco,” "Chain,” "Nobby.” Three different treads. Built by the same brains, the same policy, the same quality ideals that have made U. S.

If; when you get your milk check five years from now, you find it barely covers production costs, don’t blame your cows! RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME TO START TO DE­ TERMINE THE SIZE OF THOSE FUTURE MILK CHECKS. Your cows are waiting for you to start something, per­ haps have been waiting for some time. They can't do it alone, but you’ll be-surprised at the way they’ll back up your efforts. Good cows and good work bring a reward of good profits—you can’t expect the reward unless you have the geocl cows and do the good work. We seldom get something for nothing. We do usually get out of anything just about what we put into jt—this is the reason some cow-owners have such small returns from their cows. No sensible farmer expects poof soil to produce a prof­ itable crop—--neither will poor cows produce profitable re­ turns, nor can you expect it. A good bull, with as good cows as you can reasonably afford, and then the same amount of brains and industry as are necessary to succeed at anything else and you will find dairying a wonderfully fine business. If you know the rules of the game and don’t choose to play the game that way it isn’t fair to kick about the results. , John A. Marti# and wjf* to Xurjuan A. Onnekenbu«h and wife, luo aero*.

TO GERMANY Oongrcsa Discourages the Idea of Encouraging the Dye In­ ' dustry in This Country It is quite evident that tho last ves­ tige of German influence i* not entirely removed in this country, even from our halls of legislation. If there was any one thing that tbo late World war ahould have taught thi* country, nnd a lesson that wo would be most foolishh to forget, it wa* that we should be prepared to defend ourselves, and wo should bo prepared chemically as well a* financially, and mechanically. Hundred* anil thousand* Of American boy*, many of/thera right m our own county, bear ample testi­ mony in theij still weakened condition, results of-her knowledge of ehamiatry. If thU eouAtry is ever to amount to anything in a chemical nifty it MUST reach that position through an en­ couragement qf tho ehVmical industry. It stands to reason that we can never successfully compete with Germany on an even footing, with" tho extremely low wage* paitF In German factories and her long working day* of 1? to 14 hours. If we even attempt *uch an unwise courro wo might just a* -well head over to Germany nny prospects of chemical .buxines* wn may hive, and nik them to pleaso be doeont about tho use of chemicals In the future. Judg­ ing from past ekperieneo wo know they wo eld, be doeont—nlL In the Wirdney Tariff Bill an effort . wa* made to encourage tho chemical business in this country, by planning a tariff large.enough to compensate the difference between tho wages paid in Germany and those prevailing here. We doupt if there we* a state in the union during the war more tinc­ tured with proXJermanlsm than Wis­ consin. Senator LaFoRotto** actions should never bo overlooked, despite a thin coat of "whitewash.” Con­ gressman Victor Berger of Milwaukee, was unseated because of his disloyal remarks.

Thi* was sneecMfnl through tho old, time-worn, moss-covoped appeal to tho prejudice through mention or “Wall street,” ” Invisible Govern­ ment” and the like. Wo hold no brief on “Wall rtreek” or “Invisible Government,” whatever that may be, but wo do mo*f firmly What ma coin- chemical Intsrests of thi* country, should be most cordially wwkomed.

In former times, when the town butcher or farmer himself diessed and cured the meat for the community, he could not always tell how it would turn out. His methods were crude;partly traditional, partly guesswork. His tests were few and inconclusive. . . Meat packing of today, as carried on by Swift & Company, has changed all that. It is scientific. Nothing is left to chance; nothing taken for granted. The most painstaking care and attention are given to every step. Processes are worked out on a large scale with minute exactness. Methods are continually revised opd unproved. Cleanliness is insisted upon. Drastic, incessant inspections are the order of the day. Swift products are uniform, graded accord­ ing to quality. Take bacon, for instance. n Swift & Company set out years 'T sJI ago to make a delicious,savory bacon J a which should be uniformly excellent. lit ■ ^ie rcsult ’s gk 1 Swift’s Premium Bacon, always the _ , ■■'w 1 same, always fa- QI A IT T?rP O I ovyirid <1 Mt PREMIUM 1 ’ circled the world. x* ui Swift & Company's system of distribution car­ ries it to places which the "town butcher" or the fanner could not reach. • Swift & Company, U.

RANDSEN' BIG STORE LARGE^T^STOgEJN^A]wjKEiiain A What England’s Experts Say About ESSEX 'it is not at all remarkable that Essex owners give such unanimous praise to the great qualities of the car, when even foreign experts agree in enthusiastic terms that it excels any car of its price and class that the world offers. “Absolutely the brightest, liveliest little engine I have ever found in an American car”.—S. F. Edge in “The Autocar”, London, Eng. “Another of the five cars I used during the last few weeks was one I cannot help men­ tioning, the four-cylindered Essex, with an R. A. C. rating of 18.4 h. p. It is an American production with absolutely the brightest, liveliest.little engine I have ever found in an American car.” ' “In fact, this motor might really have had a Coatalen' or a Pomeroy* as its sponsor." •(Respectively designers of two English cars of higher price than any American cars built.) • “Thu price charged too, ia very reasonable for what is given, by comparison with the prices of other cars.” “Thp ability of the Essex to climb hills on top-speed, and yet give one a comfortable 45 miles per hour with four people up, is un­ ’ equaled in my experience of four-cylindered cars of the same engine-dimensions.” John Wolf Auto Co . *' STATE STREET GARAGE PHONE 2333 ■ - - �THE HASTINGS BANNER 1“' Local Newt J IMEUWS WEFfffflf 1 >wman Sunday.

"It is the best school in the country for any one desiring a train­ ing in Business, Accounting and Auditing, or Secretarial duties," is a statement frequently made by Teachers, Bankers, Accountants, Office Mana­ gers, Business Men, and others, when asked what they think of the training offered at the "Argubright” School. i Naturally samp Unnecessary Subjects Eliminated Special subjects arc required for graduation, 1h--:<u««» • eountiint*, but the number of such subject* required to tn* taken tn connection with tbe ronrw in Ac«-oqnt'■Ing and-Businrsi* Administration 1* reduced to a mini- The high standard maintained by the school and the policy of intensifying upon those subjects only that are essential,, the remarkable successes made by young peo­ ple who have trained here, the fact that the training offered in this institution is en­ tirely along the Business,.Stenographic, Secretarial, and Accounting lines, thus focus­ ing all our effejrts in one direction rather than scattering them over a wide range of subjects, are some of the important factors that influence young men and young wo­ men of judgment and foresight to select this school. ' C. J. ARGUBRIGHT us. and Bus. Manager. Personal Supervision of Mr. Charles Menz Tho School of Accounting and Business Administration.is directly under the per­ ■ Success of Our Graduates sonal supervision of Mr. Charles ^lenz, a Public Accountant and Auditor recognized among the profession at large as being one of the most skillful and expert Account­ ants in the United States. Mr. Menz is a thoroughly successful business man, with a broad and varied general experience, who not only likes to teach, but knows how as well. . ' ’ The success that has been made by those already • trained in Accounting and other subjects by MY. Argubright, the excellent positions they hold, nnd the high regard they hare fot him as hu instructor and ffiqnd. demonstrates the effectiveness of his work in the post. 'Pho association of Mr. Mens with tho school and hfs tak­ ing over tho active management of tho School Of Ac­ counting and Business Administration enhances the value of tho course because of Mr. Nena's welbl^nown ability in this line nnd because of the. fact that it leaves Mr. Argubright fjeer to devote more of his energies and thought to the placing uf graduates correct vocational gnidunee, nnd general management of the school. ■ Mr. Menz came to Battle Creek a year ago from Troy, New York, where for ten ' • , years prior to that time, he had been a third owner of one of the largest Business Training Schools in the East, and', actively engaged in Accounting and Auditing in connection with his regular duties as Supervisor of the Business and Accounting De­ partments of the school he fcas with. When we induced Mr. Menz to come to Battle Creek, we feel that we rendered .a distinct sen ice to the young people of this comnianity, because we are now able to offer a course in Accounting and Business Ad­ ministration of full collegiate grade, divested of all unnecessary and useless subjects, so that a student can accomplish a great deal more’ in a given time than he could by any other method. * • CHARLES MENZ Preparation for C,P.A.

HASTINGS MOTOR COMPANY Look over the really worth while citizens in your community and you will find that always they are the people who have done and are doing something that is con­ structive and are giving to their fellow man something that is necessary to his well being. This isn’t gauged by the worldly possessions alone; it isn’t measured by ap­ pearance, for in the crucible of experience men have learned to know that appear­ ance is a most deceptive standard. Stripped of all the glitter and glamor it is the fellow who is doing the most good by best serving his fellow man in the largest way. Many methods can be employed to accomplish this end, but it is the delivery of the service that really counts. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN The Fuller Lumber Yard In your Chiropractor you have a citizen who, by hard work and thorough training, has placed himself in a position that he may render the greatest possible service to those people who are most in need of that service. The public is coming more and more to realize that in those cases where medicine and all other methods of healing have failed, the Chiropractor offers the only solution to the health problem. Thia is not only true of chronic cater, but in acute conditions such as colds, fevers, inflammations and digestive disorders it is found that Chiropractic adjust­ ments are just as effective. Why? Because the disease, whether acute or chronic, is the result of the pinching of nerve fibers where they are given off from the spinal cord. The only way that the cause of this condition can be relieved is to adjust the spine, thereby restoring normality. * ’ । _ j F. C. HINKLEY, D. (I.

The demand-of the farmer for a sensible, practical an^l economical car, as well as the merchant’s knowledge of values and the professional man’s appreciation of correct principles of design and construction results in their selection of the Oakland for its practical utility. The practical value of the Oakland Sensible Six Engine lies in its-simplic­ ity, accessibility and the efficiency of its power development. Simple design means economical manufacture, minimum wear, and easy low-cost adjust­ ment or repair. 'Accessibility of the m lin parts of the engine permits ease of Zhspection and quick adjustment when necessary. , The Nash Six has a smoothness of performance made possible by*being designed and built under the supervision of one organization. Every part ot the Nash Six is built not only to perform well its own particular function, but to harmonize perfectly with every other part of the car. . The big factory carrying out the will of the Nash organization is respon­ sible for the popularity and success of the Nash Six with Perfected Valve-inHead motor. The unusual power of the Nash Perfected Valve-in-Head motor is, of course, the big feature of Nash’cars. This motor is now gener­ ally acknowledged to mark a distinct step forward in motor engine con­ struction. Owners everywhere testify to the exceptionally high quality of its performance. While unusually economical, it has power, “pick-up" and flexibility beydnd the ordinary. Cool & Dooley Sales Co. The Big Garage on the Comer Hastings Michigan �THS HASTINGfi BANNER THUMDAY.

The result has been a heavy demand for Perfection Kerosene, which hat proved to be an ideal fuel, To meet this demand for Perfection Kero­ sene, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has so arranged its distribution system as to be able to deliver to patrons Perfection Kerosene for heating purposes in any quan­ tity which may be. desired. • The bigness and efficiency of this organiza­ tion enables you to adopt kerosene as a fuel for heating your home, with complete assurance that you always will be able toget this fuel in such quantities as you may require, whenever and wherever you may need it.

Something Unusii Well Any man, oY boy, can WIN WEALTH, if he saves his money, and the work he produces is VALUA to other people. Herre»choff, who built the “Columbia" and “Defender" for the American *Cup Yacht races, became blind at 15 years of age. But under this terrible handicap he WORKED until he was able to build boats of such excellence that he became the marvel of his profession. Other men with perfect eyesight were never able to build such racing vessels as this blind man, who never saw the masterpieces he created. Sousa wrote six operas which were refused before he wrote his success—“El Capitan." Hundreds of others were writing music at the time Sousa was working on his "Liberty Bell March," but he worked with more carefulness than others did, and did his work unusually well. That one march brought him fame and fortune. Munkacsy, the famous artist, began life as a carpenter. With his earnings he studied painting and worked hard. When he was 36 years old, he sold one of his paintings for $ 120,000. . There are many young men right in this community who have the talent and opportunity to become rich men. If they want wealth earnestly enough to WORK HARD until they can do their work unusually well; and if they keep a part of every day’s earnings to provide themselves with the capital to GO AHEAD, then there is no reason WHY they cannot rise as high as their hopes and wishes may carry them. The more we see of life, the more are we convinced that people comd nearer being equal in BRAINS than we think; that the big differ­ ences between human beings do not lie in ABILITY and INTELLIGENCE but in FORCE and AMBITION. One man doesn’t achieve a thousand times as much as ai)other because he’s a thousand times as smart, but because he’s a THOUSAND TIMES MORE DETERMINED and PERSEVERING. . You can’t explain the sudden rise of what you call the "ordinary" man on any other theory. You can look right around your own neighbor­ hood and you will find plenty of proofs. * You will pee the "ordinary" man, who begins to rise at a greater or lesser degree of speed, does so because he gets a vision; develops a • desire, and sees a goal. Then he'cqmmences to travel.at a pace he has never shown before. Strangfe forces give men "purpose" and jar them into ACTION*. It rqay be some fellow who owns a "back forty." He sees how ?nuch more he could accomplish, and how much better he could do, if he only owned that "adjoining forty." He has a desire, he sees a goal. He’s up early in the morning; he plaps ahead; works hard and above all, HE SAVES. He’ll soon own that "adjoining forty,’’ and then casts his eye on the "next eighty"—and so on. It’s simply the history of the successful man repeating itself. ’ • / * a. i . ‘ His next neighbor may be a man who inherited "a good living." He’s SATISFIED; he’s without any ambition, any desire, any goal. He aims to spend his money as fast as he gets it— and often a little faster. He’s liable to go on the financial "rocks." The man who starts out in . ' life under great handicaps, but who SAVES and has FORCE and AMBITION, is very apt to outstrip him. So it isn’t entirely the hard work you do in life; nor the planning; nor the vision you have. All of these will amount to practically nothing if you do not SAVE YOUR MONEY. That’s where the "rub" ALWAYS comes. No matter how ipuch yob make, if you SAVE none of it, it doesn’t do you any good. • /' Why not be one of the SUCCESSFUL men—one who ‘,‘gets ahead" in the worldThere’s only ONE way you can do it, and that is by depositing'a portion of your earnings in qur Savings Department veVery week, or month. Get the "vision" of being a successful jnan, and have the FORCE and DETERMINATION to KEEP RIGHT:ON SAVING. It may take you years to realize your ambition, but every time you make a deposit you KNOW that ydu are one step nearer your goal. Most men have perfectly good boilers in them, and a good equip­ * ment, but the trouble with them is that they never "get up steam” and go anywhere. . .

We cannot tell you nil about this tractor here, but we do urge you to look over some of these important features? PULLS THREE PLOWS—The Titan 10-20 Is a three-plow farm tractor under most soil conditions found in this’«ountry. It delivers the power just where it is wanted and when it is wanted. “ countless instances where the Titan has been able to go in and finish a job that some other machine or horses started but couldn't finish. If a Titan can’t do it, we believe no other tractor of its rating can.

For feeding certain 'kinds of stock, such as wintering young stock, it is an advantage to control the amount of grain which is fed. According to the reports of exp criment stations, stock can be wintered at a cost of .about one-third the nsual amount when they are fed silage from which a part of the corn has been removed. If the sild is filled in the ordinary way, there is no choice but to allow all the car corn to go to the silo, but with the McCormick husker and silo filler the owner can control the amount of coni which goes with the stover to the silo. By doing this, he saves the ear corn, which is the most valuaola'part of the crop. I I I I I I I | ! I I HUSKERS AND SHREDDERS. Deering/McCormick. Sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10-roll.

BANNER WANT ADVB. PAY. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1921. Make This Store Your Headquarters During Fair Week I Growing up here through the years and keeping steady pace with the develop­ ment oF Hastings a*nd Barry County, this store has come to be a quasi-public institu­ tion. "To have what people want, when they want it, and at right prices," might well be nailed up as a motto over the door. These principles really form.the policy­ basis of this store’and are responsible in a large measure for our growth. "What the people want” is not alone new styles, but sound reliable qualities; not alone the offering of odd lots at special prices, but the certainty of finding the right size, style and color without waiting. To mak^ the store measure up to these requirements at all times—even when there is a market scarcity of the right sort of merchandise— is the end to which we devote ourselves. New Coats, New Suits, New Dresses NEW FALL GOODS; EVERYTHING FOR THE SCHOOL CHILDREN f The Barry County Fair is the one great event of the year when friends from all around the county and from neighboring counties meet. We most cordially invite you to make this store your Headquarters, and we assure you not only a pleasant welcome, but every courtesy possible. R. H.

Do you realize that ten years ago this number was only seventeen million? Do those iigures mean anything to you in determining the trend of American thought? Ail this has been done in spite of medical law* whch hold that anyone who heals, treats or attempt* to heal/or treat, either for pay or without,^jhall 6e guilty of practicing medicine. Does this autocracy of the medical association* sound American? Does it give to us that freedom for which our fore­ father* fought and died? Why, in the face of these autocratic laws, have druglcss methods made such progress? BECAUSE IN THE LAST ANALYSIS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS THE LAW. Forty million citzen* of the United States today subscribe to drugless methods because they know that their right to select the doctor of their'choice is a* inalienable as their right to select their religion. Statutes are no longer law*. They are worthless, unless supported by public sentiment It is your neighbor and mine, the common people, who determine the trend of the time*. But why this rapid advance of drugless methods? Because medicine is a failure, and pthcr methods bring relief. Forty million people are not all fools; nor are they all mistaken. The advance is founded on merit, and it is as useless to deny that merit it is to deny the existence of the submarine or wireless. v.ith thumb prim an . U protection u*ilnst fargury.

We apprreinto tho difficulty in which the ijep.de of this community are placed by tho general bad basincas conditions, aud we do not ask for such rates as would be justified In pros'perous times, by tho inveitment which wc have in thif property. Wc do fbeL however, that ft email increase in th0 present rates is justified. Wo petitioned tho Cfly Council for an tncfedso in tho eleetric rate from cents to 6 cents pc/ K.

Also, wc pe­ titioned nn iqirease in the gas rate from 81.85 to ■<•.«) per thousand cu­ bic feet. •, In the month of June of this year it eost thlj company 3 I-g cents more per cubic fool to supply this gas than wm received for it. The* averaao customer paid us 83.13 for tho amount of gas consumed, and this gun cost u», including our operating expenses and' fixed Churges, 83.185. .In'thu mouth; of .

Tho average customer In July paid us $2.80 and tho gas which wo served to him colt ug 32.7U. To give a fair rate on our in< vestment, wo should have received; 32.40 per thousand feet. We realize that such a rate U not to bo expected, in these tunes, but-wo do think that It (s fair to oak the committee to" loti u. return to the 82.00 rate which was in effect for oomu months. Wo have fooud that the rates for electric lighting in Hasting, average about 20% less than tho rates in most of the similar communities ia Michi­ gan. and in view of our circumstances □ s -luted above, wc beUerc it is rea­ sonable to request an increase of 1c per K.

F,‘ Mi there nnd brougb: item You Cannot Have Good Baking From Flour That Is Poorly Milled Di am When it comes to QUALITY, ECONOMY and GOOD BAKING RESULTS every dollar spent for French’s White Lily Flour reaches the-very limit of its purchasing power. When you buy a sack of it you get a flour of the very highest QUALITY because it is PERFECTLY MILLED. . If you have been using ordinary flour, and will try a sack of French's White Lily, you will readily see th^ differ­ ence, arid French’s White Lily doesn't cost yon any more. French’s White Lily will furnish yoUY family more de­ licious bread, biscuits and pastry than any other flour you can buy. . . These are days when EFFICIENCY must prevail in the home as well as in business. Why not commence efficiency and economy in your home by using French’s White Lily’Fldur? You’ll have better bakings, and you’ll save money by using it. - •it pyraent. Mi*u NyhiaJlj.hcm-fc . Mir-'.Hemii ya Vnndc.i Houvc.

Not How LITTLE for How Much But How Much for How LITTLE The chiropractor is not a mere THINKER or DREAMER. He is a doer of things. By giving CHIROPRACTIC VERTEBRAL ADJUSTMENTS with the bare hands alone ho restores you to Health. \ If you have been told that your case is serious and that your only chance of being restored to Health is by undergoing a surgical opeqption, ascertain the cause of your sickness. You can do this by consulting the chiropractor, who will locate ihe CAUSE and adjust same. You will then be getting MUCH FOR LITTLE, whereas if you sub­ mit to a surgical operation you will be getting LITTLE FOR MUCH. You will be minus some part of your God-given anatomy, your pocketbook will probably be drained; the effect will have been treated but tlie CAUSE will still re­ main, and any relief obtained will be but temporary. The relief obtained from tak­ ing Chiropractic Vertebral Adjustments will, however, be PERMANENT, for WHERE THERE IS NO CAUSE THERE CAN BE NO EFFECT, AND DISEASE IS AN EFFECT. % | Consult the chiropractor now. * ‘ ‘ F.

Our experience in buying coal from the mines Has placed us in position to take advantage of every opportunity in the buying market. When good coal can be bought we can buy it and at a lower price than most dealers because we buy in such large quantities. Our delivery service, too, is something worth your consideration. We aim to give you prompt service and clean, satisfactory work from the time the coal leaves our yards until it is placed in your bins. If you want coal call us and we will tell you the best land to use to solve your heating problem. Carey U.

B. WATERMAN MICHIGAN �THE II-ASTINGfl BANNER Two Profitable Bank Ideas That Will Help Make You Independent Hundreds of people are residing in almost every community who are not yet familiar with the advantages offered them by the banks in their home town. We believe this is true of Barry County. We believe there are many people in Hastings and Barry County who do not realize the advantages we are offering them by our maintaining and operating the strong, accommodating institution which we do and that’s why’ we are telling about these two departments of our bank. Savings Department Commercial Department Young men, young women and others, we wish to, urge you to start a Savings Account with us now. Do not put off any longer so important a matter as the beginning to save systematically—it is SO EASY to procrastinate in this matter—but time goes on. Every person who has bills to pay—(and who has not?)-*-shottld have a commercial checking account with 113 and should pay all accounts by check. - Many a nice fortune has been started.by the first small deposit of $1.00 and then by adding to this be­ ginning and having the interest compounded semi-' annually, the way we do it at our bank, the account has grown until the, depositor has a good sum to in­ vest in some paying business. Paying accounts by check is the best possible way to make payments. Many an error has been pre-| vented and many a loss saved by the use of a check instead of currency. If money is lost the finder if un­ scrupulous, may use it, or the finder may never be able to discover the loser. If a check for the same amount is lost, the maker can be known by the sig­ nature and though the finder be unscrupulous the maker of the check can cancel payment.

He must get n general idea of conditions, of the lo­ cal system of jBrming, the kind of people he ia to work with, and a know­ ledge of soil condition*. He must meet udth repre/entatlvc funner* of the eounty nnd with them formulate a defl­ nib- plan of work in regard to their buAo urgent problem*. As he must endeavor to rcaeh as many of the people as possible, and help them raise the average standard of farm pnirti e-. there must be a num­ ber of concrete demonstrations well ’scattered over the county from whieh definite report* of result* ean bo se­ cured. The county agent’s strength of leadership is demonstrated by hi* abili­ ty to perform hi* duties without drift­ ing into iinpcrflcial work; to maintain n well-balanced .program; Io distin­ guish between essentials and non-essen­ tials under existing condition*; to get ppbplfl to l“dp themselves, nnd to co- 1 offer $25.00 Reward to any one who can prove to me that he sells better meats.

In thousands of homes, a “line” is drawn at the breakfast table. Tea or coffee is served for “grown-ups''and Postum for children. But some parents do not discrimin­ ate. , Caffeine and tannin, the Injurious contents of coffee and tea, seriously retard the development of the delicate nerve tissues iu children. Consequently, instead of rich, satisfying Postum, children are over stimu­ lated by the drugs in tea and coffee; und so may grow up, irritable and nervous. Any doctor can tell you that this is a great evil and should be corrected. Although some par­ ents feel a certain justifi­ cation for the personal indulgence in coffee, yet the harm to them may be equally serious. It may take a I little 'while longer for the drugs in coffee and tea to affect an older person, but in many cases the nervous system and allied bodily functions will become weakened. The surest way to avoid such pos­ sibilities is to quit coffee entirely and drink Post urn instead. The change per­ mits you to get sound, restful sleep. Grind h:.[.id« Wedi < 'day. H. r.

Specially Adapted to the Smaller Figure For either the Young Girl—not quite grown up, or for the Woman of smaller size, these Peggy Paris coats possess a strong, special appeal— Not only in their youthful style effects—but in the fact that they are patterned upon special measurements to fit the smaller and more sprightly figure of the Young Girl and the Little Wo­ man. That is their unusual quality—in their special sizes—and the satisfaction small women find in being able to buy a coat that fits , them. Then, also, each model carries that youthful effect so very desirable for the small figure. . The materials and colors lend ^nap and swing to the coat—*and their quali­ ty in make and finish is the very befit—assuring you satisfaction and service in wear. . , Come in and make your selection early. ’RANDSENV F isiEEi^nnaj nm tivAePmyii re riaaf as HASTINGS DEFEATED BY SOUTH HIGH Visitors’ Heavy Backfield Too Much for Local Men • • The.local High si-bool was defeated by Grand Rapid* South byz a »corc of 33 to 7 on Saturday.

For year ending Sept. 29,1921, we produced 390,895 loaves of bread. We are proud of the above record which shows a growth of OVER 100 PER CENT each year. Our one dominating and controlling aim has been to PLEASE OUR CUSTOMERS, and our splendid growth proves that we have been successful. To keep our products strictly up to the minute has meant the throwing out of old equipment and the installation of the most modern that money can buy. This will continue to be our policy and we will let nothing stand in the.way of the reputation for HIGH QJUALITY goods that this Bakery has always enjoyed. In the manufacture and distribution/ of these goods, 14 people outside of the manage­ ment, are employed, all contributors toward thc suppdrt of a family; a majority being the head of a family, making a yearly pay roll of $14,577.55, which can easily be doubled if the people of Barry county and vicinity con­ tinue to give us the support that the quality of these goods deserves. Other items of expense entering into the manufacturing end of our business are. '* Taxes paid, $621.65; Heat, Light and Power, $1,178.57. < Such items as advertising, freight and ex­ press, garage bills, etc., amount to $2,750.37, the greater portion of which items being spent where it benefits'our city, county and state. Although Bread has been the big feature of our busi­ ness still some other items must not be forgotten. For in­ stance, during the year we made and sold— 323537 Rolls, ..... 234512 Cookies, • 135564 Fried Cakes,. 60956 Cup Cakes, 23459 Pies, besides many cakes and other sweets. Our Machine room and Bake room are really huge kitchensand, although many of our patrons have respond­ ed to our invitations to inspect these, still we feel that our customers owe it to themselves to know under what con­ ditions their food is made, and again assure you that we WELCOME your careful inspection.

Introducing Victrola No. 90 PANCOAST & NOBLES Considering Quality and Price It Would Be Hard to Duplicate FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR • If you stopped to consider quality and the price you generally pay for flour, it would be an easy matter for you to decide on FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR as the cheapest and best flour for you to use. The best flour milled is made from Michigan grown wheat and when you buy flour from our mill you are getting flour that contains only the best grade of wheat and is made by millers who have spent years in working out a formula for flour that would be just a little better than the best and flour that would be satisfactory in all respects. When it comes to a completely equipped mill you won’t find one in the country better than ours and very few as good. You may find larger mills, but you won’t find one better equipped. More than that, we doubt if you will find one that runs more steadily than ours. Practically all the time for nearly 35 years this big mill has run night and day, which not only cuts- our operating expense in two, but it guar­ antees the smoothest and best quality flour^ ■ , There isn’t a better flour made than FRENCH’S WHITE LILY, no matter where it comes from. There is no need of buying flour from another state for it is not only expensive paying the freight, but it is very unsatisfactory because if there ip anything wrong with it you are a long way off and it is a hard matter to get a..satisfactory settlement. On the other hand, when you buy flour here it is guaranteed to give satisfaction and every sack that leaves our mill has our guarantee back of it. . ... There is more FRENCH'S WHITE LILY’FLOUR used in Barry county than all other flours combined. Try FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR once and you will never be without it.

Two Profitable Bank Ideas That Will Help Make You Independent Hundreds of people are residing in almost every community who are not yet familiar with the advantages offered them by the banks in their home town.

Many an error* has been pre­ vented and many a loss saved by the use of a check instead of currency. If money is lost the tinder if un­ scrupulous, mny use it, Or the finder may never be able to discover the lofer. If a check for the same amount is lost, the maker can be known by the sig­ nature and though' thp finder be unscrupulous the maker of the check call cancel payment. procrastinate in this matter—but time goes on. Many a nice fortune has been started by the first small deposit of $1.00 and then, by adding to this be­ ginning and having the interest compounded semi­ annually, the way we do it a| our bank, the account has gyown until the depositor has a good* sum to in­ vest in some paying buHriess. ■ * ■:n- <• Hastings, Mich. raYINCB BIX NATIONS BEPREBJ AT TABLE WHEBE B WEBE SEATED !'

Another section of th# Demoaratie .press attributed what it alleged to b* a eojlapre of Amerisa’a foreign trad* to the tariff policy of the liepubliesu party. As Secretary Hoove/, a few day* ago, pointed out, in a statement U> the press, the drop in America's foreign trade is not as aeriqo* ns a hasty study of the figures would indicate. This being tnic. it chrtataly is not-a* serioiia as twisting of the figure* by pnrtivan papers would indicate. Sec­ retary Hoover' pointed out thijt the apparently startling decline bl bur foreign commerce was due to the v*ry great fall in prices of all commodities rather thnn a fall in tho volume of foreign trade It should b* rymepiben-d in making a comparison, that prices of all commodities for th* fir»t seven months of l»20 were very much higher than they have been at any time since. ,, ' ’ / . ’ . .To illustrate BceroHry ‘ Hoover's point, four or five itcu>a;niay be.elted.

And, of course, most cow owners have these average with small profits, and are apparently satisfied with both. But there are lots of dairymen who sensibly realize that the days of big prices and big profits ar’e gone, and that if they get anything now they are very likely to have to really earn it, who are willing to make some earnest efforts toward giving better cows better care. How to do it is what they wish to know. How did the many good, profitable dairy herds that all of us knqw about come into existence? * ( I ) The man on the job honestly and sincerely wanted better cows, and he thoroughly realized that he couldn’t accomplish his purpose without a lot of intelligent effort and time. (2) He went to someone who had done what he wanted to do, and got advice and some better foundation stock, pither mature cattle, young stock, or perhaps only a good bull calf, depending not usually upon his financial circumstances but upon his faith in himself and the dairy business. (3) He then became A subscriber and read one or more practical dairy papers and kept in-close touch, by frequent visits with others who were doing the things he was trying to do. Hiis is all that is necessary, except the ambition and energy to keep going. better man and a better farm with The sure result satisfaction, and happiness in one of the finest and best occupations that can be found.

THE NEW DRUGLESS HEALTH SCIENCE OF CHIROPRACTIC offers a FIGHTING CHANCE to every sick man, woman and child. It does not claim to ba able to perform miracles, but it does positively locate thc CAUSE of the majority of so-called Diseases and by the means of CHIROPRACTIC VERTEBRAL ADJUST­ MENTS given with the bare hands only, relieves the nerve pressure, making it pos­ sible for Nature to have full sway. • HEALTH IS NATURAL—DISEASE IS UNNATURAL. Of course, it is bust to take CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS at the very first sign of danger, but for several reasons you may not have been in a position to do this. You have been imbued with the idea handed down from generation to genera­ tion that when you were sick no one but a Medical Doctor could afford you relief. . BREAK AWAY FROM THAT FALLA CY AT ONCE. Realize that no matter wha: your trouble may be, no matter how despondent you may be, CHIROPRACTIC OFFERS YOU A FIGHTING CHANCE. Take advantage of that offer now. Let your CHIROPRACTOR make a Spinal Analysis and explain to you HOW and WHY his Science will hdp you. You will (then emerge from the fight A WINNER and will be rewarded by thc possession of..

Do you know what constitutes a strong constitution? , ■ To have sound, healthy nerves, completely under control, digestive organs that arg capable of absorbing « hearty meal, means you have a strong constitution I ‘" Your general attitude is one of optimism and energy. But an irritable disposition, frequent attacks of indigestion, and a languid depression, indicate your oystem is not in correct working order. . ' . , L ‘\ ?f I ' : । , Probably you are not eating the proper food. * Probably the nutritious elements are not being supplied to your system in the proper way. Grape-Nuts is the wholesome, delicious cerrfrl that promotes normal digestion, absorption and elimi­ nation, whereby nourishment is accomplished with­ out auto-intoxication. A mixture of energy-giving wheat and malted barley comprise the chief elements of Grape-Nuts. A dish at breakfast or lunch is an excellent, wholesome rule to follow. You can order Grape-Nuts at any and every hotel, restaurant, and lunch room; on dicing cars, on lake boats and steamers; in every good grocery, large and gmall, in every city, town or village in North America.

While the total numbers , of Studebaker Cars sold were: _ 326,000 up to September 1st, 1919? 375,000 up to September 1 st, 1920. 442,000 up to September 1st, 1921. • Summing up 116,000 more Studebaker Cars were maintained in operation with 3% less parts business than two years ago, which conclusively proves that— ’ Studebaker Cars are standing up in service and staying out of repair shops, to a degree unex­ celled, we believe, by any cars of whatever) 'price.

QUIRK Strap Keeping in Step With $Ehe Times N-1910 the consumption of gasoline in the ■ United States approximated seven hundred and' fifty million gallons. In 1920 the con­ sumption of gasoline was well over fodr billion gallons. This tremendous increase in demand camewith a spectacular suddenness whidi strained the resources of the petroleum industry. To meet it the Burton process was developed in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). •While no claim is made that the Burton process ! is wholly responsible for the increased efficiency of refining practices, tlie fact remains that with* out it the tremendous increase of gasoline from crude oil would liave been impossible. In 1910 the average recovery of gasoline from the crudes of the United States was approxi­ mately 11 percent; in 1920 this average had been increased to upwards of 30 percent. While this Company was producing gasoline in sufficient quantities to,meet the ever-increasing demand upon its facilities, it also was confronted with the necessity of finding a market for the vast number of products made from'that part of the petroleum which could not be con­ verted into gasoline. New uses for these by-products had to be found or created if gasoline were to be relieved of more than its just share - f the cost of refining, there­ by keeping the price of this fuel within the reach of afl. It required all the knowledge, experience, skill, resourcefulness, ingenuity and technical ability which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) could bring into play. The Company has a' just pride in its success in finding added fields of usefulness for old by­ products, as well as for having developed new by-products of use and value. Thus does the faithfulness of a big institution, fortified by science, ability and a will to be truly useful, function to the advantage of all. dard Oil Company So.

Thousands of patients have visited their physicians to be informed that they are suffering from this condition. They are doped, drugged, and dieted until all the resources of the physician are exhausted, only.to learn that their blood pressure still retrains the same. ' Did any physician ever tell you the real, cause of high blood pressure? Of course, he said it yas due to hardening of the arteries (arterio-sclerosis); but did he say what caused that? Then did he prove that he knew what he was talking about by removing that cause and getting you well? HE DID NOT. Can anyone tell you the real cause and prove his contention by getting you well? THE CHIROPRACTOR CAN. Let’s be logical. There isn’t anything mysterious about this business of high blood pressure. F?r*t, every blood vessel in the body has a wall containing muscle fibres, which encircle tho vessel like the thread on a spool. Those muscles, like the muscles of the arm, are contracted and hard, or relaxed and ‘soft in response to the vital energy sent to them-through nerve fibres, from the brain. From a certain small center in the brain, this control is maintained. If that center is abnormal in its function, a continuous abnormal contraction exists and the blood vessel is made smaller than normal, with hard walls. This naturally compresses the blood and we have high blood pressure. Why is the brain center abnormal in its functions? Because of pressure on the nerve fibres supplying this brain center. Where can these nerve fibres be pressed upon? Where they pass from the spine, between adjacent bony segments. Why this pres­ sure? Because the bony segment is out of its normal position and decreasing the sixe of the opening through which the nerve passes. How doei the Chiropractor rclieve the pressure? By adjusting the bony segment (with his bare hands alone) back to its normal position. The use of dope, drugs or diet a lifetime, will not reach the real cause. You have proven that yourselves. ' Gibe your Chiropractor the opportunity apd- he "fill prove lbijst contention by rrng your boaJtb. .. x' y; £ X XI ?; a XX <4 -H X2 X5 {J Buying Used Machinery We have a few used machines that you can buy at a bargain and save some money.

Starting with their original herds and building up by pure-bred sires to half, three-fourths, seven-eighths, fifteen-sixteenths and thirtyone thirty-seconds, some fine high-grade cows have been developed. During the last few years, due to this continued use of pure-bred sires, the increased production from the 800 cows in this association amounts to about $40 per cow, over the original average, or a total amount annually of about $32,000. All from an outlay of less than $1,000. . In addition to this there is the increased value of the surplus stock and the fact that these men have found out exactly how to make dairy cows profitable and wouldn’t think of using the methods that seem to satisfy altogether too many present-day, dairymen. Why not make an investment of this kind? You may not find any­ thing better than cows for another ten years. ______ •ide. Mrs. Hhcprird received some beauti­ ful piece* of silver in' memory of tho , occasion. ■ The next meeting will be held with Mr*. Carrie Lyon*. A* Mr*. Lyon*’ birthday i* oil Hallowe'en they will hold n Hallowe'en party til night nnd invite their husband' to help scare the , epook* nwny. Why continue to milk the same kind of cows year after year? There are plenty of good sires available and at prices you can af­ ford to pay, even if your herd isn't very large, and it’s safe to say that no good bank ever refused a loan to a man with a herd of cows who wished to buy a better herd sire. obituary. ‘ John George Kirchner wu* born March $1, 18.14 in Huron county, Ohio, apd departed thi* life Oct. 5, 11121, nt If your Jierd h too small to warrant your owning a good bull alone, get together with a few of your neighbors, and while you are working thia out, take that scrub or grade animal down to the butcher.

She If you are using flour that has been run through three or four sets of rolls, such as is made in ordinary mills, you are not getting the best flour for the money. Such flour is not made right, because it is rushed through the rolls so rapidly that it is impossible to bring it down to a smooth, even granulation. There will be large "chunks" and small particles, it will not absorb the yeast and liquid evenly and it cannot bake evenly. ‘poor baking." Perhaps you’ll have to throw some of it away, which of course ADDS to the COST of the flour. There is nothing more indigestible than poor, heavy bread. There is nothing more healthful and appetizing than good bread. You can be assured of good bakings every time you FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. It is not like the ordinary flour. We clebn our grain better and we put it through I 7 sets of rolls before it is finished and sacked. You pay no more for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR than you do for the ordinary flour. By owning our own mill, water power and lighting plant; and by op-’ erating 24 hours per day, thereby cutting our "general expense" in two; by having the latest and best equipment of flour making machinery, we are able to clean our grain better ; put it through I 7 sets of rolls, and sell it to you at the same price as ordinary flour which is only put through from three to five sets of rolls.

A. Sturges, Editor of the Republic of Beresford, S. D„ prints the following editorial: "The Republic has carried for a long time a series of messages in the form of advertisements, ordered and paid for by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). There is a notion on the part of many that every­ thing that a corporation does is of u selfish nature, and that there never is a vision of the people’s good. These messages have carried an entirely different tone, and we believe they arc worth reading from week to week. The data this week is very interesting.** This recognition of the sincere effort which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has put forth through these advertisements to inform the public aa to its purposes, policies and ideals, is gratifying. In the opinion of,the seven Directors of this organi­ sation, the business of this Company should be, Tho Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an inatitution performing an essential service in a highly specialised branch of industry. This Company is owned by 21,188 individuals, not one of whom owns as winch M in percent of the capital stock. The management of this Company centers about seven men, who constitute the Board of Directors, Each one is a specialist in one or more branches of the petroleum industry, and devotes al! of his time to the business and affairs of this Company. Not one of the Directors has inherited his job; he has earned it. Individually, and collectively, the Board of Directors believes that the business in which this Company ia engaged is so vital, so important to tho com­ mercial and domestic life of all the people of ths eleven states it serves, that they have caused to bo published this series of advertisements, that the Further, the 25,000 men and women who make up thi® organization are putting forth Bitch enthusiastic, painstaking efforts to do a good job for the Company, and in turn, for the people, that th® Director® are glad to tell the public what ia being done. Through these advertisement® they are giving an account of their trusteeship to th® people frequently, a® they do to tho stockholder® annually. Thi® is th® purpose of this campaign ot ad**-, tisements, on which the publisher of the BeraaforAi Republic has seen fit to comment favorably, T Standard Oil Company'. 910 So.

WATERMAN MICHIGAN �Young Man! Are You Aiming at Success? If you are it need scarcely be explained that success is not an accident, not a case of just happening so. It is in practically every case a matter of delib­ erate effort. The young man who expects to succeed must be ready when his day of opportunity shall come, to take advantage of it. And in practi­ cally every case to do this will require more or less ready money. ' Systematic Saving This bank is here to assist every young man to be ready for his day of op­ portunity. We give to him the privilege of our saving department, not only to care for the money he saves, but to set that money working for him.

Wadusdsy, aud Baturday Evening* STOP THAT ACHE1 | GET READY TO BUY YOUR CHRISTMAS SEALS Special Office Being Opened in Lansing By Anti-Tuber- culosis Society October third mark* the formal open­ ing of. the Christmas seal sale for 1921 in Michigan. Tbo Michigan Tubercu­ losis asMX'intinn ha* been at work for Mime time getting ready for th* cam­ paign, but the Unit week in October marks tho opening of a special ofiiicc in Lansing and the beginning ot organis­ ing the state for tho Milo. The Mile proper, so far as the peo­ ple of Michigan arc concerned, will be­ gin the day after Thanksgiving Day and will continue until Christmas, but for nearly ttro months before the act­ ive selling of the Christmas stickers begins the work of getting ready for tbo big^push will be in progress. The seal sale will not bo allowed to interfere with the norma) work of the Michigan Tubcculosi* association. For that reason the campaign will bo condueled from special lietidquartor*. All the usual lines of work uf the associa­ tion will go on a* before, und tha fight against tuberculosis will be u vigor-, ously pushed during tbc intensive sal* of Christmas seals a* at other times of the year. Thi* polity has been followed iu Michigan the past few year*. The seal sale of J920. which was the largest ever’ held in Michigan up to that time, was 353 seal* per capita, which mean* that every m»n. woman nnd child in tho state invested a littlo less than three and one-half cents in the campaign against tuberculosis. Tho Michigan association is year by year climbing to a higher goal, aad it hopes to increase thi* ncr capita amount mat^ticlly during the present seal sale. With the death rate from tuberculurosis pushed down to the lowest point it has ever reached in this state, the Michigan Tubcreulosi.* association points to the co mi eg seal sale as an unexampled opportunitv on the port of the jicoplc of Michigan fo do a piece of eonstnietiyo health work bv backing the sale and giving the health forces a chanee to reduce the death rate still further during 1922. The as­ sociation has prepared a constructive program of work for that year, the suc­ re** of which will depend on the coming sale. Den't worry and complain about a bad baek. Got rid of that pain and lameness! Use Doan's Kidney 1’111*.’ Many Halting* people have used them and know how effective they are. Ask yonr neighbor. Here’* a Halting* ease. Mm. E. Barlow, 309 8.

Meanwhile the great majority of thp human family proceed to subdue and replenish the earth, blissfully unconscious of this babel of claim# .and counter claims. • » * 1 Into this vicious circle Chiropractors refuse to enter. They are content to stand aside and see each dietitian in turn discredited by others. They know what is food to one man may be poison to another and, keeping in mind this fact, they assert that the normal stomach will ^igeot A NORMAL AMOUNT OF ANY KIND OF FOOD, They know that the internal chemist converts common grass into sheep or horse, goat or goose, and that when any of these are no longer nourished on a grass diet, the cause is to be found within. • * e • In vain and hopeless search for the “cure” of ill health, in the choice, preparation, mastication, proportion, etc., of food, Chiropractic does not join. Chiropractors are content to' let dther's search for the “cause" of dis-ease outside the body, well knowing that they JiPVe found it within. JThey are satisfied to let others juggle with “remedies,” “cures” and “paliatives” while they correct the CAUSE of dis-ease and NATURE effects the cure. Chiropractic disclaims any connection with .these dietetic efforts in intent or method. Unless Chiropractic is something better than any of these it has no excuse for existence, for to be on a par would but add anpther voice to the already existing confusion. ’ -.y •’ » • CHIROPRACTORS ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH FINDING THE DELICATE FOOD YOUR WEAKENED STOMACH WILL DIGEST.

Everyone admits that there is great pleasure in driving a Six, and the six-cylinder motor is nowrecognized as the most satisfactory unit of power. . The Studebaker LIOHT-SIX motor embodies the most advanped engineering developments— . —it it powerful. It# 40-horaepower motor supplies much more than tho usual power per pound of car weight. From the first moment you sit ^behind the wheel you get that velvety feeling of a strong, continuous flow of overlapping power impulses. —it pickt up quickly and imoothly, affprding a 'quick getaway in traffic; it throttles down to a snaii'a pace in high gear. • —it it freer from vibratioff, up to 55 mile* per hour, than any car of jts size and weight yet pro­ duced in Europe or Auerica. The LlGHT-SlX is the most evenly balanced car you can buy. Its light weight (only 2500 pounds) is so equally distributed that if the chassis were halved or quartered each section would weigh practically the same, This means tire economy, and steady road holding at high speeds. See thit'qar—drive it—test it. You will be won by it. You will understand , why it it the Studebaker ideal of wkat a light, six-cylinder car should be. Goodyear Bro?.

We no longer make shoes, or weave cloth or use candles, for the housewives pit beginning to know the value of their own Jabor, but the increased demand for Bakery products is due, not only to the housewife’s demand to be released from some of thp drudgery of life, but also to the fact that the Bakery Industry has been making vast strides towards perfection in the last decade, until toddy it stands eighth in the Big Industries of the world. ■ • Science has given some of its best minds towards the problems of fermentation, formulas anil ingredients, until today the Baker's Loaf of Bread represents not Guess Work, but Knowledge. • Another factor in determining the housewife in her use of Bakery products is the fact that it is cheaper, to buy Bakery Goods than to make them herself, for. besides the fact that she orders as needed and sp has no waste, there is no question that scientific production means not only uniformity but also quantity buying and pur- • chasing.'flour in car lots and other ingredients accqrdingly means' a cheaper product -than the housewife can produce.

More Loaves of Bread and Better Bread One of Barry county’s best cooks, when asked why she preferred FRENCH’S WFJ1TE LILY FLOUR to all other brands, made this answer: "Because 1 can get more loaves of bread out of a sack of French’s White Lily and better bread, too, than with other flours." That an­ swer will strike you as giving two very strong and sufficient Reasons for her preference. This housewife reached'her conclusions from actual results in baking in her own kitchen. We can tell you why she obtained such results: First, we use only the best grade of Michigan wheat. Next, our mill has every appliance known to the art of milling for producing an even, perfect granulation. That permits every particle of the flour to be reached by rhe leavening in the bread—so it goes farther than other flours. Third, our mill runs night and day the year round, so that the machinery does not cool down, which insures perfect milling. Fourth, we have the steadiest power known—our own water power. Well toward a half century’s experience in producing FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR has enabled us to make a product that sets the pace. More of it is used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. And FRENCH S WHITE LILY FLOUR costs no more than most of the inferior graces; because owning our own plant and water power, and running our mill night and day so reduces the cost that we can furnish a better flour for the money than others;’ You can buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR as every grocery and elevator in Barry 1 county.

QUALITY OF STATE POTATO CROP. That the quality of the Michigan potato crop i* good this year, although the crop volume i« rather light, is the opinion of H.

Some confusion regarding the Michi­ gan crop hn* been caused thia year by tho indiscriminate use of terms in des-. cribing potato diseases.

Long Time to Pay . The 12-2^ Oil Pull is designed for the farmer who requires a-small tractor that will supply reliable, eco­ nomical power for a variety of farm operations. Un■xicr avem-e conditiona-it pu Ik 41 fourteen inch mold­ board plows or 4 disc plows. It will drive a 22 inch cvlindet- separator fully equipped, and a medium size silo filler or com shredder. It will handle any draw­ bar or belt job within its rated capacity—and it is a well known fact that all Advance-Rumely ratings are low. Witness tho official proof of this at the Natiohal Tractor Demonstration. The 12-20 Oil Pull was designed and built to con­ form to certain standards aud only such materials are used as can be depended upon to give the longest and hc.'fl service. For instance, the camshaft has the cams forged as an integral part of the shaft. Pressed on cams might do for a while but the forged cam can never slip on the shaft and get''out of time. We use high carbon steel for the transmission and differential shaft.1;. While many tractors have these parts of cold rolled steel, we won’t take a chance. Hyatt roller bearings are expensive, but we use them to reduce friction and produce more drawbar power. The Bosch " magneto is the most expensive on the market, but we want our ignition the best and most trouble proof that can he had. The 12-20 in other words, is not a cheaply built tractor, nor was it designed to meet a price. "The sweetness of low price never equals the bitterness of Loor quality” is a pretty good motto to go by. The 12-20 Cuts Fuel Costs The 12-20 Oil Pull is not only the equal of any and the superior of most tractors in point of design and construction, but it is without exception the cheap­ est to operate. It was designed and built as a kero­ sene burner—not a "made over” gasoline tractor. It makes no difference if’the 12-20 Oil Pull is running at full load or no load, in wet weather or dry, coldest winter or hottest summer—cheap kerosene is its meat and drink. No racing at light load—no annoying car­ bonisation—no laying down when the load changes. The only gasoline used is a cup full for starting when the motor is cold. Tho Oil Pull is the only tractor that is unqualiguaranteed in writing to burn successfully all .. ■ of kerosene at all loads, under all 'conditions and to be capable of developing its full rated horse­ power on kerosene. The Oil Pull has proved time and time again, in public contests its ability to plow an acre of ground at the lowest cost and to use the least fuel per horsepower, not excepting even those tractors running on straight gasoline. ■ The Oil Pull is the only tractor using the SecorHiggins system of oil combustion—the only known method by which oil fuel can be used aucceasfully in a tractor which is exposed to extreme changes in load (as in threshing and silo filling.) A Few Details of. Construction The Motor—The 12-20 power plant is a heavy duty twin cylinder, horizontal, low spe'ed motor with valves in the head, built in our own shops for this par­ ticular tractor and to successfully use the low grade kerosene for which it is ’recommended. Simplicity, accessibility, fuel economy, over size working parts and long life are prime features: It has an easily removable cylinder head, no pip­ ing to disconnect, and is fitted with dust proof, oil tight cover which protects all parts from dirt. High tension ignilipn ft used, eliminating the need of batteries, current being supplied by a Bosch high tension magneto, fitted’with an impulse starter. The crankshaft and cam shaft are high grade steel forgings, the cams being forged integral with the cam shaft and ground to size;- All important bear­ ings are split and are ailjustable for wear. Both splash and force feed lubrication constant­ ly flood all working parts in a bath of oil. The gov­ ernor and circulating pump are gear driven from the crank shaft.The clutch is built into the band wheel and is of the expanding shoe type, proven by many years of use to be the best for tractor work. Adjustment of one shoe automatically adjusts the other. The 12-20 motor is governor controlled—the epeed of the engine is automatically and instantane­ ously adjusted to the load. r . Transmission—The transmission is of our own de­ sign, made especially for the 12-20, and manufac­ tured in our own shops. The power is transmitted to the drive wheels through forged steel, machine cut spur gears (no bevel gears being used) a simple, onelever gear shift providing two forward and one re­ verse speeds. The differential gear has a special spring cushion spider that entirely eliminates the jar of starting under load and reduces wear on the gears. The transmission and differential shafts are car­ ried* on Hyatt roller bearings which reduce friction to a minimum and the application of Hyatt bearings in the transmission increases the draw bar pull of the tractor .fully 15%. The entire transmission is housed in a dirt proof, oil tight case and all jiarts run con­ tinually in an oil bath. -The lower half of the case can be quickly removed when necessary. Cooling System—Like all Oil Pull tractors, the 12-20 ft oil cooled. Ten years of experience with the oil cooling system has demonstrated beyond a doubt, its superiority over water cooling for an oil engine. There ft no fan to consume power and be a source of trouble. OJI does not evaporate, deposit scale in the cylinders, will not boil at the highest temperature, nor does it require frequent replacement as does water. . Oil does not freeze and the Oil Pull can be operated in the coldest weather without any thought of ever draining the radiator. Finally, oil maintains a more even cylinder tern- . perature, especially at light loads, which makes for fuel economy. The radiator itself is entirely trouble** proof and simple and rugged in construction. Goodyear Brothers Hardware Co.

Here’s how: Put Ful-O-Pep Dry Mash in a self feeder where the hens can help themselves. Feed grain at the rate of a pint a day for ten hens. Make the hens scratch for it thru a foot of clean straw. Keep your coop clean, free from vermin, and do' not let a draft strike the hens while in the coop. .Keep a supply of fresh water handy.

Think About These Things Before You Buy a Cream Separator Buy Ample Capacity. Remember that the size of the cream separator you buy has much to do with your future satisfaction. You mdy have only a few cows today and h small machine Would take care of your immediate needs, but before the separator is ready to ho discarded you may have twice or three times as many cows. In'this case the separator would be too tmalL It means that while y6u might separate the milk of your pres­ ent herd in thirty minutes with tjie small separator, jt might take you an hour or an hour and a half to do thi- work for the larger herd. The larger the capacity of the separator, ijhe shorter the time required to do the separating. Furthermore, the} shorter the time a machine is used each day, the longer it will last. The slightly increased first cost is justified by the time saved. & Adjustments Restore Health QaicHy sed Fer^anentiy Nature i* the Chiropractor'* only aid—adjustments remove the pinch on the nerve* and enable Nature to do her part in making and keeping the body well. Ninety-five per cent of disease* are duo to pressure upon nerves along the sides of vertebral column. This pressure interferes with their functions; hence inflammation, unnatural action, pain and d»tres* are manifested where these nerves end. AU diseases ere pro­ longed until pressure upon these nerves leading to tbc affected parts is adjusted.

Often the disturbance which they then recog­ nise is the result of irritations to nerves and di­ gestion which have b-xn going on for a long time. The risk of coffee’s harm is gone when the . msol-time drink is Pcstum. . .. Here's a delightful and satisfying table bevgt*, with charm for the taste arid without harm nerves or digestion. You know you're on the ht road with Post am; there’s never the posBity that you’ll go cnee too often. Reason1 Among others, two fundamental causes explain it. 1. The outstanding cause U the value of Studebaker Cars, in quality, style, performance, durability, and pric^ dempa­ strated by the complete satisfaction and enthusiasm of nearly one-half million owners who know values. 2. The universal respect for and confidence in the integrity of the name STUDEBAKER which for seventy years has been the symbol of quality and fair dealing. Crowning proof of the dependability of Studebaker car* is reflected in our diminishing business in service paints. With approximately 116,000 more Studebaker cars in operation on September 1st, 1921, our parts business the first, eight months of thia year was 3% less than in the same period two years ago. W'hile our car manufacturing plants operated thiayear 41% ahead of last year, our service parts manufacturing plant has operated at from one-half to two-thirds of last year. " ’ Studebaker Cars are standing up in service and staying out of repair shops, to a degree unexcelled, we believe, by any cars of whatever price. When it does disturb them, ;htn they know. If you have to lie awake at night add count the dodt ticks, after an evening cup of coffee, then you know that it's better to be safe than sorry.

THE PLAN OF THE SALE THE BLANKET STORY The Famous SLEEPY HOLLOW PLAID Blankets are made from cotton grown in tho Tien Tain Valley, China. Foreign cotton has a crinkled fibre like'wool and when manufactured into a blanket gives the crisp touch and appearance of the finest wool. SLEEPY HOLLOW and wool blankets aro non-conductors and are equally warm. This quality iu due to the thousands of tiny air cells which repel cold and retain body heat. SLEEPY HOLLOW PLAIDS arc as warm as wool at half tha price. The quantity of SLEEPY HOLLOW Blanket* produced is limited and the entire pro­ duction is distributed by rpeciai sale, in first class stores only and on the same sale days. We arc fortunate in having our store selected as the distributor for our town and we have been allotcd our full quantity. The prices this year are much lets than they have been for many years past. We want you to come io our store and see these SLEEPY HOLLOW Blankets. We recommend that you buy your blankets NOW. .Wstsre, Herman Frost, Robert Burch, E. A. Rider, Chas. Potts, Fred Stebbins.

NASHVILLE. suffered another parnlyti The dwelling 1.. B Mn. Emma I homo at Burl i i after spending th- ■ rtsited irlull' and Toledo If you have had “baking troubles” in the past why continue using the brand of flour that you have been using? It costs no more to buy a good quality of flour than it does to use \n inferior quality, and the results are far more satisfactory. Does it pay to purchase flour that is made away, when you can get the very best grade of flour on the market and a flour that is made right here in Barry county and under the most sanitary conditions? FRENCH’S WHITE LiLY FLOUR is the result of years of experience and study. less of the cost. Shipping Association Ih-nling in wiling' Our one thought has always besn to improve the quality regard­ By following this policy FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR has forged to the front and there we propose to keep it. Our efforts have been rewarded by the ever increasing demand for this popular brand of flour. It is the cleanest flour on the market because all the grain is washed and polished, all cockle and broken kernels are taken out by special machines. This is the reason we are not afraid to say that FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR will give perfect satisfaction, insist on FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR the next time you bake.

A dozen eggs now means something. Go after them and get 'em. Here’s how: Put Ful-O-Pep Dry Mash in a self feeder where the hens can help themselves. Feed grain at the rate of a pint a day for ten hens. Make the hens scratch for it thru a foot of clean straw. Keep your coop clean, free from vermin, and do not let a draft strike the hens while in the coop. Keep a supply of fresh water handy. Your Bank should be your beat business friend, giving you wise counsel and rendering you aid when needed. The many depositors of this bank look upon it as their business friend.

There is no ‘ : I happy medium. ' : ! !, YT , To make goad in your business venture#, in the service you render your employer, j y in your homo-life, and among your neighbors—YOU MUST BE HEALTHY. To bo Healthy, you MUST POSSESS A NORMAL SPINE. X \ All medical men who arc liberal minded and not blindly prejudiced, all sei- T it wiist# •nd, above all, nil people possessin-.common sense now admit that the spine ?y| E is the keystone of the human body; and if it is out of alignment, (in other words out X [ of line,) there is bound to be a pinching of the nerves which will prevent the vital 'JJ t force from flowing uninterruptedly to the various organs. The result is so-called | I disease of those organ# which are not receiving their proper quota of life force. T The competent chiropractor is a spine specialist. He palpates the spine care- 7 r fully and ascertains exactly where the vertebrae (small bones) are out of line (sub• h*MBted). Using hu bare hands alone, he, by means of Chiropractic Vertebral Ad- ? • justtuents, puts these vertebrae back in line. The nerve pressure is thus relieved, T Efife force flow, freely to ihe organs involved, and HEALTH IS THE RESULT. } Dpn’c wait until you are "all in, down and out" before consulting a chiropractor, I hut «t the &rs| sign of danger (Hight tho it may be) ask for a SPINAL ANALYSIS. B ft U found that your spine is out of alignment, take CHIROPRACTIC VERTh; | BRAL ADJUSTMENTS as often as your chiropractor deems necessary and you will BKufthy W ill “MAKEGOOD.” • . i] f ■raL • F.

For upon the selection of your food, and upon its perfect digestion and assimilation largely de­ pends your state of health. The moat important thing in connection with the digestibility of any cereal food fo the way it is prepared—and the length of time it La cooked or baked. Grape-Nuts, the rich cereal food made from whole wheat flour and malted barley, ia probably baked longer than any other cereal food. A large part of the starch of the wHeat and barley is changed into dextrin and grape-sugar in preparing Grape-Nuts. This is one reason why Grape-Nuts is so easily digested by even tho most delicate people. Grape-Nuts is wheat and barley ra proreseed as to make it delicious and appetising { even young children thrive on it and grow strong and rosy.

KENNEDY BROS QUALITY AND SERVICE HARDWARE HASTINGS, MICHIGAN iHt above editorial ia rafreohing to those who are responsible for the policies of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). When in October, 1011, the present management of the Standard OU Company (Indians) took charge of tho business, one of tho first things it (ledded was that the public should bo given intimate informa­ tion regarding ths Company and its eflairg. Those responsible for tho management know that the policies that had animated this organization for many years were policies which benefited stock­ holders, employes, and tho public, and that these policies could not but meet tho approvsl of the people generally, for they wore baaed pn fair dealing, justice and equity. Tho result of this decision was tho authorisation of a widespread publicity campaign, which hag been carried on for about three years, tpd the proof of its effect!vosoas ia to be seen not only fo th® not in­ frequent mention being made by the newspapers of the country in editorala such ag the one written by Mr. Johnson, quoted above, but in the better under­ standing on the pert of the public of what the Company io trying to do. The basic principle upon which th< busineca of tho Standard Oil Company (Indiana) io built is to pro­ vide the individual, wherever ho mqy LWe in the 11 states served by this Company, with seen products of petroleum as he may need, and to get them to hfah when be wants them and at a price which ig foindiks to the stockholders, tho public, god the competitor.

Look around you today and you will see on every side examples of men who, during their working years, spent their incomes regardless of the future, and now, in their de­ clining year s they are in sore need of those comforts which should be the portion of the aged. Likewise, in the same com­ munities you will find men.sur­ rounded with PLENTY, and they are the ones who, although start­ ing life under the same conditions as the class above mentioned, reg­ ularly SAVED a portion of their earnings in order that when they could no 'longer rely upon their talents fdr a steady income they would have a harvest stored up which would insure PEACE »nd PLENTY for their later yean. Have You Thought Thi Over ? Have you taken stock of the future? If not, why not consider the matter now, and START RIGHT by getting acquainted with this Bink, for. here is the SAFEST and SUREST place to store the results of your saving. Your money here will AL­ WAYS be at your command, and besides that will work for you NIGHT and DAY, as we pay;three per cent interest on your Savings. Why not begin TODAY to make the RIGHT START?

F. Summers, of the Advocate-Democrat ofMarysville, Kans., says: HAVE MAQ£ FRIENDS About three years agothe Standard Oil Company began a campaign of public­ ity which covered the whole country. No attempt waa made to pay any atten­ tion to what had been charged up against the organization in that distant past, but a plain statement was sent out showing the attitude of the company, the diieraity of it» ownership and its policy in dealing with the public.' And that campaign has been effecjjvc. No longer do you hear Rockefeller and the Standarti Oil contin­ uously roasted by the general public. Other “goats" have been picked up and in every section you will hear the admis­ sion made that the Standard Oil Co. gives service and piles up profit by being Con­ tent to work on a small margin and de­ velop a bigger business. The experience is well worth thinking over for It goes to show what w i- have always contended and that is that the average man ia fair and only wants to be shown. Take him into your confidence if your business is legitimate ami Vou silence knocking. The Standard Oil has won favor by its policy of publicity and the favor is deserved.

Every sack of French’s White Lily Flour is sold under a positive guarantee, so if you get a back and it is not satisfactory in any way, you can have your money back by returning the balance of the sack. There are reasons why French’s White Lily Flour is better than other brands of flour that sell at the sajne prite—they are in the process used in manufacturing—French’s Mills operate day and night and they own their own water power and use only the highest grade of Michigan winter wheat.

COLEMAN, Hastings, Mich. -312 Majestic Bldg., Detroit, Mich. , , ■ Phone Main 1100 (Organized under the Laws of the State of Michigan) Considering Quality and Price It Would Be Hard to Duplicate FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR Some people have an idea that if they buy flour that is made way off in some other state, some flour that is heavily advertised and put up in very attractive sacks, that they are getting a better product. The real facts are: that if that flour, made in another state, is any good at all it is made from wheat grown right here in Michigan. Experience has proven that bread made from spring wheat soon dries out, and. becomes hard and unpalatable. On the other hand, experience h s shown, and the wheat market proves, that winter wheat grown in Michigan is the BEST IN THE WORLD from which to make flour, because the Michigan wheat always commands the Highest Price*. , French’s White Lily Flour 'is made under the most favorable conditions. The mill is located in the midst of a section that grows the very best grade of wheat and which is delivered to the mill direct without any freight charges. And when it comes to making flour economically and in the best way, we know of no mill that can compare with this one. We run this mill night and day-, year in and year out. It only adds a slight amount to our expense, but by doing it we get a 24-Hour Output at practically an-8 or 10-hour-a-day cost. -This cuts our general expenses in two. These conditions enable us to guarantee every user of bBENCH S WHITE LILY FLOUR the best quality of flour at the same price as they would have to pay for an ordinary grade of flour.

CONCERNING YOUR CHRISTMAS MAIL Let Us Be Thankful From the bottom of our heart* let every reader thank God that he is privileged to live in America. Not so long ago the nations of the earth had little use for our form of government, now they realize that it is not only the freest, but the strongest, having en­ dured the strain of war fur better than any other. Let us bo thankful, too, that it was our America that called the Disarmament Conference, andthen by its own proposals gave such evidence of its good faith and sincerity that while America did not fear war she hated it. . To son^e during the year misfortune and loss may have come, and burdens may have seemed very heavy. Still through it all one can find some things to be thankful for, if he lives in America. . „ ’ In our view there is no better way of showing one’s appreciation of the blessings he has received than by living a life that express^ thankfulness to the Giver of all good, and* by serving one’s day and generation by His will.

Look around you today and you will see on every side_examples of men who, during their working years, spent their incomes regardless of the future, and npw, m their de­ clining years they are in sore need of those comforts which should be the portion of the aged. Likewise, in the same com- . munities you will find men sur­ rounded with PLENTY, and they are the ones who, although start­ ing life under the same conditions as the class above mentioned, reg­ ularly SAVED a portion of their earnings in order that when they could no loriger rely upon their talents for a steady income they would have a harvest stored up for the.'hearty support and patronage that have been extended to us tin ring the last year—and we wish to take time to thank the hundreds of patrons who have made possible one of the largest years in the history of our business., a which would insure PEACE and PLENTY for their later years.

If not, why not consider the matter now, and START RIGHT by getting acquainted with thia Bank, for here is the SAFEST and SUREST place to store the results of your saving.

Then- was something wrong with the shut-off valve, so that Emory hnd to THE REAL ISSUE There ia just one thing about Chiropractic that sick people are interested in and that is “Will it make me well?” My friend, the common, everyday citizen enjoys the same privilege of opinion that I enjoy. 1 may argue with him from now till eternity on the merit of the premise upon which Chiropractic is founded. These things wo may never agree upon; yet if we both see health come to our mutual friend after he has suffered for years, and if we learn that he has been regularly visiting his Chiro­ practor there can be no argument between us on the fact of what it has done for him. Witness this thing often enough and the matter of the Chiropractic premise is a lost issue. My friend may still believe that surgery, medicine, mental suggestion or diet are excellent things, yet he cannot deny that Chiropractic is effective. We find that all our arguments have meant wasted effort and lost time; but the one thing worth while, the only thing that he, as a sick man is concerned about, is that Chiropractic brings health. Whether the Chiropractor followed one curriculum or another is no longer an issue. My friend visits lhe Chiropractor for just one reason — to regain his health. How can my friend satisfy himself that Chiropractic is effective, often where eveiything else has been tried? Let him investigate'our National record nnd the record of his local Chiropractor, Our National record shows us the leading drug­ less healing system today, while in 1894 we had not been born. Our National record shows that we are legally recognized in over half the states in the Union, because your neighbor and mine demanded Chiropractic service. Why this rapid develop­ ment? Because millions of sane, straight-thinking, common people found themselves getting wall under Chiropractic adjustments. Juat as sick people everywhere are interested in the one question “Will it get .ne well?” so Is the Chiropractor interested ia the one.issue of getting you well. He knows that his greater service to humanity in. the future depends on his restoring health to you. You say “Will Chiropractic make me well?*’ Our answer is our rec­ ord of growth and this growth is exactly proportionate 'to the health Chiropractic F. C. BINKLEY, D.

It is made by miller who ' *has superior knowledge of the manufacture of flour, backed by an equipment . that excels anything i Western Michigan in the flour making industry. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is the result of the best wheat grown passing through the best and newest and most complete flpur-making machinery that money can Buy. More than this, it is made in a mill that runs con­ tinuously, day and night, year after year. As our machinery is all operated by water power, you can readily see the perfect conditions under which FRENCH’S WHITE. LILY FLOUR is produced. It is reasonable to suppose that after having made this high grade product for about 45 years and always kept improving it and adding to: it with experience that we are able to furnish you a flour that is superior in every way Do not be deceived—there are none so good as FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR—it is always always just the same—when you bake with it one time you nnait just like other times.

Water-jacketing space absorbs heat. Buick Valve-in-Head motors have about 20% less water-jacketing space than the L Head type and about 15% less than the T Head type. That is one of the reasons why Buick Valve-in-Head motors have more power.

A. C., is reported to have said,— “Even with the present comparatively low prices of milk and butterfat, good cows arc making a profit for their owners and in our opinion good cows always make a profit.” • • . The prices of dairy products are seldom high enough sd that a 4000-pound cow pays a profit, so a 4000-pound cow is almost a sure loss, while 5000- OR 6000-POUND COWS ARE ALMOST SURE TO MAKE A PROFIT it is difficult to increase your herd average from 4000 to 5000 and higher—but there is one sure way to do it— weed out the low producers, check up your feeding meth­ ods, start using a good pure bred sire, buy a few pure bred cows. There never was a better time to do this and in a short time the results will surprise and please you. ftiow, to be sure, it us up to you—no one can make you keep a profitable herd of cows, but you ought to do so for your own sake and for the improvenient it will be to your own locality.

Two year.- ago I had another stroke which affected my vocdl cords, since which time it,has been very difficult for me to carry on conversation.

O render a positive service is not alone the desire of those responsible for the management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). It is a wellformed, clearly-understood* determination. This determination to render a positive service is expressed in the multitude of products manu­ factured by this Company from crude petroleum. The housewife, the motorist, the farmer, the phy­ sician, the fabricator of raw materials, almost every special branch of humgn endeavor, has been con­ sidered and that part of the petroleum which Will render to each the greatest service, has been segre­ gated and made instantly available. This is the mathod chosen by tho Standard Oil Company (Indiana). tt> make tangible the .positive service it is endeavoring to render. The campaign of advertising Which la being carried on has as its object a frank discussion of the ways and means used by the Company in delivering this service, a discussion which tells what it is doing and how it is doing it, and why. That there is a better understanding of the motives of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and a feeling of increasing confidence in its integrity and straightforward frankness is indicated by tha number of favorable comments which the campaign has elicited from the editorial departments of newspapers, big and little, throughout the eleven states served. ; Justice, equity, frankness, a basic desire to render a positive service, and a determination to take all of the people into its confidence are the underlying principles governing this organization. A few months ago a newspaper man visited one of the wholesale mar­ kets of Swift & Company. He wanted to seo a re­ tailer buy a short loin of beef and then watch the retailer sell the porter­ house and airloin steaks from it over his counter. He thought this would make a good story. The head of the market took the reporter into the "cooler” where he showed him a high class side of beef. With a wooden skewer he marked off the short loin and said, “That is^only 8 per cent of the weight of the whole side and it is selling for four times tis much as this piece (and he marked off tha "chuck,' which is about one-fourthof the aide of beef)."

Look for the name ColusiiU on the label. lumbia Batteries The wide variation in the wholesale price of various cute from the same side of beef is caused largely by demand for the so-called choicer cuts. The others are, of course, just as wholesome. It seems as though more people than ever arc demanding choicer cuts, and their demand sets the price If few people ask for the forequarter cuts, the price of forequarters will automatically drop to a figure low enough to induce people to buy because of cheapness. Even though certain cuts sell for relatively high prices, other cuts, due to lack of demand, sell so low that our profit from all sources over a period of .five years averaged only a fraction of a cent a pound. . It is competition between consumers for the choice cuts that keeps prices for those cuts relatively high; an equalizing demand for all parts of the carcass would benefit producer,'packer, retailer and consumer. Our average wholesale selling price of all products has fallen about 40 per cent since September 1920. Swift & Company, U. S. A. �Good Lump Coal $8.50 DRY WOOD; POCAHONTAS, FURNACE HARD COAL, COKE.

Science is classified knowledge. It does not depend upon chance, or lutk; or guesswork. If a method is scientific it must work out—not sometimes, but ALL the' time. No method of combating disease has ever deserved to be called scientific un­ til Chiropractic wa* developed. The treating of disease by remedies is an ART in which skill in diagnosis and in predicting the rather dubious reaction of the patient* to the remedy MAY bring good results. Chiropractic is a SCIENCE. The Chiropractor is trained to detect spinal abnor-' maities by hand and verify by X-rays until he knows, with absolute certainty, the po­ sition and relation of the spinal bones. His methods of adjusting these arc do ©fact, so specific, that he can be absolutely positive that the adjustment will be followed by just one result—the utmost effort of Nature to cure. The only element of uncer­ tainty left—the only reason why a Chiropractor cannot promise a complete cure to $ every patient in the worl<l^—is the possibility that the case has gone so far that Nature Jierseif will not cure it, which means that no treatment on earth would be of any avail. . I - ’ t ’ -3 Chiropractor* do not depend for their success -upon the uncertain clement* which form a basis for other method*. Tiie very simplicity of the syltem makes foraccuracy. For instance, the Chiropractor knows—not guesaea—but KNOWS— wbat organ* in the body arc weak or diseased after he has analyzed the spine. Conversely, he also knows which organs arc healthy and sound. Hi* word is the word ot authority. 'TWte are things about disease which he cannot find out in this way, but’ these thing* are not essential to the cure, and hero again tha scientific na­ ture of the System show* iUelf. He knows, with a certainty, from the beginnings what. U hidden from him. He never mistakes a guess for a fact. . It is because Chiropractic is exact, specific and definite that Chiropractors achieve a higher percentage of results than any other profession. F. C. HINKLEY, D.

But how exceptional are the cases where any attention is given at all to that most important condition of real efficiency— personal fitness pf the worker for his task. The most super­ ficial impulses determine the turns of the road.

ONE BRICK WON’T ‘ BUILD A HOUSE The way to build a house is to build it a brick at a time. There ia no other way of doing it. One Dollar isn’t a fortune, yet you will never have a fortune unless you be­ gin building it a dollar at a time. There is no other way of doing it. All of us like to own a home and possess a fortune, but the trouble with many of us is that we hate to tackle the job of laying a brick at a time—of saving a dollar at a time! We tnust do it if wp ever expect to have the things we now "wish" for. Start a Savings Ac­ count with this bank NOW. 4 per cent paid on Savings State Bank of Freeport FREEPORT, MICHIGAN 8! PAGE MTJTJ5TBZM ' There are reasons why French’s White Lily Flour is better than other brands of flour that sell at the same price—they are in the process used in manufacturing—French’s Mills operate day and night and they own their own water power and use only the highest grade of Michigan winter wheat. You can make no mistake in using French’s White Lily Flour for your i Christmas baking. Carey U. Edmonds Proprietor of Barry County’s Big Elevator Hastings, Mich.

The Most Important Part of Buying Flour Is to Consider the Quality If ypu have had “Baking Troubles” in tha past why continue using the brand of flour that you have been using?

DECEMBER 14, 1M1. HASTINGS HIGH WINS 07638879 (Poutinuod from First Pags-J . ’ whipped tho team in shape for a sueeeasful eonelasion to their first foren-fie battle in thn 1021-22 scries. Hastings had the affirmative of tho question which all tho High schools in , tho league will thresh out this winter: “Resolved that tho principle of tho closed shop and the open union, in American industry, shall receive the support of public opinion.” ’ jtotart Walton opened tho debate for the Hastings team, Mias Clarko was their second speaker, Claude Kanlner closed. , On the rebuttal Miss Clarke opened, Walton followed and Kantner closed. Tho entire Hustings team made n splendid impressinn; they had no tricks of oratory, but were logical, had their arguments nnd statements if ell in hand, did not hesitate for words, and showed n familiarity with the sub­ ject that brought conviction with their presentation. In Kalamazoo they had no mean foe. Mnytai* had ns his chief helper, Miss ■Winifred Axtel, u young girl of charm­ ing personality, nnd case of manner that displaye*! long familiarity with platform work. Miss Fitzpatrick, thn third member, did not bulaueo tip well with her team, but that may have been duo to inexperience. Tho judges wore Mr. Milne, of M. A. (.’. English department; Mf. McCul­ loch, Aset. Hu pt. Jackson schools, and Mr. Hawd'en, Hupt. Grand tadgn schools. The last two gave their vote for Has­ tings, Mr. Milne voting for the negu live side. Thn judges spoke in highest praise of the work of Hastings in the rebuttal which really gave them tho dfeision. Mr. Milne is quoted as say­ ing it wns thn best High school debate in which ha had over acted ns judge, tanring favorable comparison with col­ lege debates. The concensus of opinion seems to ta that Kalamazoo displayed weakness in dodging rather than meeting the main contention tho local team put up'thuj tho principle of tho closed simp was tho issue at stake, and wan goal, nnd they made a strong [>oint of tho value to labor of collective bargaining made possible through the closed shop. Kala­ mazoo laid their main emphasis on the substitute they offered for tho closed shop without first eonelustvely proving FAGR ircrccrcicccc’c’cc’wecwrrwcr’rc’c’cr'wc'rc’crc’rz'-e’e’c’c'c'r'c’c:lmp FRANDSEN’S BIG STORE ■ Every section of this store is ready to meet your holiday requirements and to assist in a quick solution of your gift problems.

Skillful tailoring costs mpre than "Kike” tailoring. In looking over that class of suits, notice the uneven, cut-you have around the bottom—watch; the lining sag.

Half a loaf is better than none, but a whole loaf is twice as good aa -half a loaf. And when there are plenty of whole loaves it is rather foolish to keep on taking halves and saying, "Well, I was smart and successful that time." Vital elements, without which bodily organs and tissues are starved, often are omitted from food, and people go on accepting and depending on deficient food for complete nourishment, as th<?jgh half a loaf were as good as the whole.

If we give tb our fellow man the service it is our privilege to give, we receive in return, in one form or an­ other, our compensation. Most of us today are engaged in active life. We sec our neighbor,as a successful man, and somehow we feel that his destiny is happier'than ours. Wo are, every one of us, running at about twenty-five per cent of our capac­ ity. We are delivering just about one-fourth the service we are capable of delivering. We have many excuses, but in the main they are only excuses, not reasons. There is only one legitimate reason and that is ill health which so decreases our efficiency that we are able to do only a part of the work we should do. Yet this is, in most cases, only an excuse. It is no more a reason than the thousands of others with which wc are continually deluding ourselves. Why? Because if we are sick, it should be our first business to get well. How? By using the good, sound sense that experience has endowed us with. How long-would a business man continue to pay a salesman who didn't sell? How long should he continue to take medicine after he has learned through repeated trials, with first one concoction nnd then another, that it will not make him well? The wise business man would immediately employ a salesman who could and would deliver service. "L ’ ** prosper; ‘he His ’business would would out-distance his competitors; he would create his own destiny, ’ ' Let us cxerelse the same sound judgment in the all-important matter of health, Let us realize that wc must- be physically fit to win in the wonderful game of life, Let each of us grasp the vision that we must carve out our own destinies. You do not have to believe in Chiropractic. It is not.a faith cure. However, if you want the reasons why you should take -Chiropractic adjustments to attain and maintain physical fitness, you will find these reasons by the scote in your own com­ munity. They are the men and women who have suffered for years under the minis­ trations of medicine, and who finally won their health by employing a method that delivered results. They have made their own destinies, and it is the prime interest of . yopr Chiropractor to give yon the same opportunity. He c*n give you a reason for everything he does.

The writer had occasion to visit a number-of Hastings club women last Saturday nnd was taken through the magnificent high school building of thnt city.

THIS SALE WILL INCLUDE Oakland Builds a Guarantee Into Every Oakland Engine A number of vary noteworthy features have been incorporated in the Oakland Six Engine—features now, original and marking a definite advance in the science of engine building. Cylinder walls are "honed*’ to a glass­ like smoothness by a process perfected in the Oakland factory—special alloy pistons carry oil-sealing piston rings of exclusive design. Long and vigorous driving tests by Oakland have thoroughly established that these improvements effectively eliminate what is commonly called “oil­ pumping"—a source of annoyance to drivers of motor cars. So certain is Oakland of this special construction that it absolutely guaran­ tees every new Oakland 34 D Model against "oil-pumping" with a 15,000 mile written guarantee. Come in and inspect the engine that car­ ries this sweeping guarantee and see ’ the five attractive body types offered. COOL A DOOLEY SALES CO. HASTINGS, MICH.

For instance: If the nerves leading to the stomach arc pressed upon or pinched, wo have stomach trouble; if it i* the nerve* to the. liver that are pinched we have liver trouble; pressure on the optic nerve will produce blindness, on the auditory nerve deafness, and so on through the entire list of incoordination, i. e., dis­ eases. Chiropractic teaches that all that is necessary for a complete restoration to health is that the point of impingement be found and the vertebrae adjusted to its normal position, thus permitting “Innate Intelligence" the only power on earth that heals, cures, or mend*, to restore the organs to health. Because Chiropractors depend upon that innate power they say that in the lexi­ con of Chiropractic that there are no incurable disease*, which doc* not moan, how­ ever, .that disease can not reach an incurable stage. All that the be*t Chiropractor on earth pretend* to do is to find and ADJUST the misaligned vertebrae to it* normal position, which open* the line* of communica­ tion (the nerve*) between “Innate Intelligence'* and the dis-cased tissue. Chiropractors do not cure, they simply ADJUST THE MISALIGNED VERTE­ BRAE, thu* permitting NATURE to cure, heal and repair the dis*ea»ed member. F. C. HINKLEY. D. C CHIROPRACTOR.

The and ''.immunity and the home w If You Want ‘Quality’ Flour ™ ‘Clean’ Flour You Will Find FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR JUST WHAT YOU WANT It is not an easy matter to describe the various processes in the manufacture of flour, but your own good judgment will tell you that the more even the particles of flour are, the better it will absorb the ycart and mo'.sture when it «omes to baking. Your own good sense­ will tell you, too, that the more perfect the grain is cleaned, the cleaner the flour will be, and the less impurities there wi’1 be in the flour. In the. manufacture of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR we put the grain through 17 different sets of rolls, each one reducing the parti­ cles of flour to a more even‘granulation. Flour made by the ordinary mills only passes through three or four sets of roils. You can see from this why FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is BETTER than other flours; why it absorbs yeast more uniformly; why bread made from it is better and why the QUALITY is always uniform. Before we commence to make FRENCH’S WHITE L|LY FLOUR, ALL the grain is thoroughly washed, scoured and poliahed. You don’t find any particles of dust and dirt in FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR as you may find in other flours, because it is all removed before the wheat gets to the rolls. . . If you are having difficulty in baking bread of satisfactory quality why not try a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR? Make a batch of bread from FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR and a batch from any other flour claimed to be just as good. Bake the loaves in the same oven at the same time. We are glad to abide by the RESULTS, because we know in advance what they will be. There is more FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR sold in Barry county than all other flours combined. That is the best evidence of what people who use it really think of it SOLD BY ALL GROCERS AND ELEVATORS IN BARRY COUNTY rr.Mhcr, one brother and one ala>.

You can’t work or function prdperly in any avenue of life if you're sick. You know this. Be honest with yourself, your overworked body , demands it, and look into Chiropractic. When a patient comes to a Chiropractor, seckinj relief from his disease, the Chiropractor makes an analysis of his case, determining what function is affected, how it is affected and whet causes it to be affected. He then proceeds to restore health by REMOVING THE CA^JSE of the disease, because permanent-health can­ not be established unless the cause of the disease is removed. The Chiropractor claims that it is more rational and more scientific to remove the cause of disease th.. to treat the effects of this cause, the d isease itself, because wherever there is a cauve, there must be an effect F.

HASTINGS, MICHIGAN We Thank Our Many Patrons for Their Generous Use the Past Year of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR We wish to take this opportunity to thank our mat^y friends and tuers of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR in Barry county and through­ out the state for their very generous patronage during the year just closing. The year 1921 has been one of the many satisfactory years in the history of this big mill. Our records show that people continue to ap­ preciate the superior quality of FRENCH’S WHITE LILT FLOUR. We likewise are appreciated and feel amply repaid in our efforts to make FRENCH WHITE LILY FLOUR a flour that will give satisfactory bak•ing results at all timqs, Into every pound of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR that has been sold .have gone our very best efforts and the accumulated experi­ ence of almost 50 years iq the exclusive manufacture of this one pro­ duct—-FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. That experience has been most valuable to us—it is really a great uriet tb this mill, and it is of benefit to every user of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. The work of making flour is similar in many ways to work in any other line—THERE- IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO LEARN. The many ‘’pointers” we have picked up; the many little things we have discovered, by means of which wc could IMPROVE THE QUALITY of our output fre really of PUBLIC BENF1T because IT HAS GIVEN A BETTER FLOUR WITHOUT INCREASING THE COST. There is really a great satisfaction in malting a good food product, that meets w/th popular favor. There ia great pleasure in knowing that FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR has the reputation of bein^ the BEST flour on the market for any line of household baking; that bread mode from it tends to make strong, rohust men and women of the future, and that it costs no more than ordinary flour. So we close the year 1921 with the kindest wishes for a Happy and Prosperaub New Year and many thanks for the favors shown FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR during the year just closing.

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.
